"This is today's battle report."

At dusk, Fei Yi immediately sent a battle report.

The situation of the Xunyang War shown in this battle report does not seem to be optimistic.

"It seems that it is not an easy task to break through Xunyang with brute force in a short time."

There was an extraordinary temperament between Liu Chan's brows, as if he was hiding many unknown secrets. His hand gently touched the jade carving on the window sill, seeming to be looking for the answer. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, as if he was smiling, and he seemed to be laughing at his own confusion.

"Your Highness, although only three cottages have been captured today, considering that there are not many cottages left by the Wu Army in the Xunyang Defense Line, it will take a month or two to capture these cottages. From my perspective, there are not many cottages left. What’s the problem?”

Wouldn't it just take more time?

I'm a big man and I still have a little time left.

"How many soldiers have been injured by our army in the past few days?"

Fei Yi thought for a while and answered truthfully.

"There are seven to eight hundred injuries every day."

If you attack the stronghold, you will definitely suffer losses.

Seven or eight hundred...

Liu Chan evaluated it in his mind and realized that this number was not a lot.

Especially now is just the beginning. As time goes by, the remaining cottages in the Xunyang Defense Line will only become more and more difficult to capture, and the damage will only become greater and greater.

Today it's seven or eight hundred, but after a while it will be over a thousand.

This loss is really too serious.

Liu Chan immediately said: "The entire army immediately stopped attacking the Xunyang defense line stronghold and rested for a few days."

Hearing this, Fei Yi's expression changed drastically.

"Your Highness, our army is at its peak now, how can we give up halfway?"

Wenpin was also very anxious. He took great risks and recruited three thousand desperadoes. Now he is preparing to make great achievements!

Are you telling me that the entire army will stop attacking now?

Is this good?

Is this appropriate?

"Your Highness, we have made great efforts, then failed again, and finally exhausted three times. Now our army is so powerful that we are about to capture Xunyang in one fell swoop and then destroy the Kingdom of Wu. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity next time. ”

When Wenpin talked about it, people started to feel a little impatient.

Those three thousand desperadoes are not easy to tame.

He spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to build a death squad. Your Highness, you have to deny me the chance to appear!

"Your Highness, when you attack a city, you will definitely encounter setbacks, and losses are inevitable. Although the progress in the past few days is not as good as in the past, and the number of casualties is also increasing, most of the casualties are new soldiers and barbarians. The number of soldiers, not to mention hundreds, is more than a thousand, which is not too much." Yu Jin also comforted Liu Chan on the side.

"I understand what you mean, but the number of daily casualties is still too high."

Liu Chan had a wry smile on his face.

"They are all living lives. They have parents and relatives behind them. We cannot treat them as new soldiers, so we should not treat them as human beings. And those barbarian soldiers, are they really worthier than us? In my opinion, Mr. Liu In my heart, whether they are barbarians or Han people, they are all lonely people."

Liu Chan's words moved Ah Huinan very much.

The Han people are barbarians. Although everyone doesn’t say it, they all despise the barbarians.

But fortunately, in the eyes of His Highness, it is not like this.

At least on the surface, he was holding a bowl of water flat.

"There are no soldiers who are immune to death? It is their glory to wrap their bodies in horse leather. If Your Highness doesn't care about this injury, then how can you lead the troops to fight? Ci can't control the troops!"

Liu Chan naturally understands the principle that kindness does not control soldiers and righteousness does not control wealth.

But he chuckled and said: "Let's do this. We will attack as usual tomorrow, but we will only attack those weakly defended cities. We will ignore those cities that are heavily guarded or very strong."

Defeating Wu was just a show.

It was performed for Wei Guo.

In fact, Liu Chan had no intention of conquering Wu at all.

In fact, the probability of success in defeating Wu is also very low.

For example, during the conquest in Jingzhou, Liu Chan could use scheming or persuading people to surrender to capture a lot of cities.

Just like when we played against Nanyang.

After Liu Chan captured Wancheng, many cities in Nanyang immediately came to surrender. Later, he defeated the Wei army reinforcements and pacified Nanyang without any effort.

Wherever the country and its troops go, the people welcome them wholeheartedly. It can be said that they have taken advantage of the right time. The state of vigorous vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes.

But it is different now.

The soldiers of Wu State did not surrender at all.

Behind them, standing are their relatives, and those houses are their property.

They wanted to be subjects of the Wu State and did not want to become second-class citizens of the Han State.

The Wu Kingdom was defeated, and even they themselves knew that their end would definitely not be good.

It can even be said that these Wu soldiers fought with faith.

Keeping one's family is faith.

For these soldiers with faith, dealing with them can only be described as extremely difficult.

"This……"

Wenpin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yu Jin held his hand, stared at Yu Jin's face, and shook his head gently.

In this regard, Wenpin said nothing more except sighing.

We must definitely defeat Wu.

His three thousand men will definitely be put to use.

It's just that maybe the army has been attacking for a long time, and it really needs a period of rest before starting another expedition.

After the ministers left, Zhou Che suddenly asked.

"Your Highness will stop fighting tomorrow because of the news before?"

Zhou Che's beautiful eyes were slightly opened, her long eyelashes trembling, and she looked at Liu Chan with a curious expression.

"It's yesterday's news that Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu Kingdom, came here, proving that Wu Kingdom is afraid of being beaten."

Liu Chan nodded.

"The Kingdom of Wu is afraid of being beaten. Don't you, Your Highness, take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

Liu Chan shook his head slightly and said: "Gu Ye wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but the current national strength of the Han Dynasty does not allow him to do so, and Lu Xun is not an easy person. The Xunyang defense line is indestructible and difficult to break through in a short time."

indestructible?

Zhou Che pouted and thought to himself: This will break through the Xunyang defense line. Are you telling me that this Xunyang defense line is indestructible?

What a ghost letter!

"Perhaps if we attack for a few more days, we can capture Xunyang?"

"Maybe we can capture Xunyang, but it will take a lot of time and a lot of soldiers' lives will be lost."

This time may be three months, one year, or even two years, or longer.

Wu's current strength is definitely not as good as before.

But this strength refers to Wu's national power and Wu's military strength. In fact, the foundation is still there.

Those elite soldiers of Wu State are still alive.

The foundation of Wu State is there. It will not be easy to win over Wu State.

And if the Han army is really dragged on the battlefield of Wu, they will not be able to leave.

Then Wei Guo would probably applaud.

Liu Chan's plan to build a plank road openly and covertly with Chen Cang also went bankrupt.

With such an intense war against Wu, if Liu Bei continues his northern expedition, the Han economy will really collapse.

This is a situation Liu Chan absolutely does not want to see.

"You are asking for so much information here. Do you want to inform Wu Guo?"

Liu Chan immediately took Zhou Che into his arms.

"My subordinates don't have the courage."

Zhou Che's face turned red and he fell into Liu Chan's arms.

at this time.

Liu Chan's hand gently placed on her belly. Zhou Che's belly was flat and tight, without a trace of excess fat, as if it was a carefully forged handicraft. Under the soft and dim light, her skin showed a healthy glow, which made people envious.

The waistline is slender, smooth and natural, perfectly integrated with the curves of the body, showing a beauty that coexists with elegance and strength.

"Have you had your period recently?"

Counting the time, Zhou Che is almost there, right?

As a hard-working little bull, Liu Chan prides himself on being more active and diligent in farming Zhou Che's land.

Zhou Che immediately understood the meaning of Liu Chan's words. He just nodded and said in a voice as shy as a mosquito: "It turns out that this month has already passed and it hasn't come yet."

This proves that he may have succeeded in sowing seeds in Zhou Che.

Gently caressing Zhou Che's smooth abdomen, Liu Chan said with emotion: "Do you think it's a handle inside, or is it a girl?"

Hearing this, Zhou Che became even more shy.

But she still said: "Of course it is better to be a man, I will rely on him to support me in my old age in the future."

Mother is more valuable than her son.

Every woman will grow old and yellow one day. Especially around Liu Chan, there is never a shortage of beauties.

Everyone competes for jobs. It is impossible for Zhou Che to say that there is no pressure.

"Don't worry, I will use you for the rest of my life, regardless of whether I have a handle or not."

The vases in Zhou Che's and Liu Chan's harems are still different.

At least.

She can help him with his work.

I still do the work of a secretary.

The secretary has something to do, it’s okay...

cough cough.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan couldn't help but become interested.

"I need to eat."

嘤咛～

Zhou Che snorted softly, his body just trembling, but he did not stop Liu Chan's movements.

If you write too much about the next scene, you will be locked up in a dark room. I will omit 10,000 words of content...

……

The next day.

The weather is fine.

The shouts of killing on the Xunyang defense line still did not stop.

Jigong Mountain.

Wu Jun's stronghold was built on a steep mountain peak. The terrain was extremely dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The village is surrounded by steep cliffs, and there is only a narrow mountain road leading to the village gate. The Wu army built strong walls and watchtowers in the stronghold, and equipped them with sophisticated bows, arrows and slings.

This is the biggest obstacle for the army to find Yang.

The Han army attacked for three days and left more than a thousand corpses behind, but they still could not attack for a long time.

It was originally as Liu Chan said yesterday.

Such a strong city will not be attacked.

However, as a former army commander, Wenpin felt that he had to fight hard. He wanted to make His Royal Highness understand that the Wu army was a paper tiger, and the Wu Kingdom's Xunyang defense line was just a piece of paper, which could be broken with just one poke.

His wealth was pinned on this expedition to Wu.

In this attack on Wu, he would definitely not allow any mistakes.

In order to capture the Jigongshan stronghold better and faster, Wenpin made careful arrangements before attacking.

He divided his troops into three parts, one responsible for frontal attack, one responsible for outflanking, and one responsible for rear cover.

Jigong Mountain is an important place, and because of Wenpin's status, many siege equipment were deployed. Therefore, the Han troops who attacked the Jigong Mountain stronghold were equipped with a large number of siege equipment, such as ladders, rams, etc. To deal with Wu Jun's defense.

Woohoo~

In the early morning, with the sound of a trumpet, the Han army began to attack. They carried the ladder and rushed to the mountain stronghold with shouts.

"Come on~"

"Kill~"

"Take down the mountain stronghold, and the first one to get there will make the song, Lieutenant Commander!"

"Fuck you Kodong rats!"

……

The Han army's charge was fierce, but the Wu army was not afraid at all.

"You son of a bitch, the Han army dares to attack my country of Wu. Everyone, the prince of the Han Kingdom, Liu Gongsi, likes women the most. His soldiers are also good ladies. If you don't fight with all your strength, your family will My mother-in-law was enjoyed by these Han troops."

"Think about your wife and daughter at home."

"You bastard Han army, if you dare to steal a woman from me, see if I kill you or not."

……

If Liu Chan heard these people's words, he might smile bitterly.

Do you think I want any kind of woman?

A woman who is not beautiful and has no identity.

Brother, don't want it.

On the Jigong Mountain stronghold, the Wu army was condescending and shot at the Han army with bows, arrows and rolling stones, causing the Han army to pay a huge price in the attack.

However, the Han army did not retreat. They braved the dense rain of arrows and rolling stones and marched forward bravely.

At the same time, troops on both sides of the Han army began to outflank the Wu army. They climbed up the steep mountain wall, crossed the thorny valley, and gradually approached the flank of the mountain village.

"The Han army sneak attack, the Han army sneak attack!"

"Hurry up and provide support. Don't let the Han army break the stronghold."

The Wu army discovered the Han army's actions and sent an elite Wu army to block it. However, under the fierce attack of the Han army, this elite Wu army was quickly defeated.

The Han army covering the rear was responsible for blocking Wu's reinforcements and destroying Wu's supply lines. They lurked in the valley and attacked the passing Wu army with bows, arrows and slings. At the same time, they also destroyed the Wu army's food routes and water sources, putting the Wu army in the village into trouble.

The situation seemed to be developing in the Han army's favor.

however.

Until evening, it seemed that the Jigong Mountain Village was in a desperate situation and could not be conquered for a long time.

When it was almost time to lose sight of his fingers, although Wenpin was unwilling to do so, he could only sound the sound of withdrawing his troops.

perhaps……

Your Highness is right.

Wenpin had this understanding in his heart.

The mountain strongholds captured earlier seemed to have been deliberately attacked by the Wu army.

The remaining copycats are like iron bastards, simply smelly and hard.

"General, the envoys of the Wu army have entered the Chinese army camp. It seems that the state of Wu is going to negotiate peace."

Wenpin's personal guard walked forward with a smile.

Maybe there won’t be a war.

The guard thought Wenpin would be happier.

However, Wenpin's face was as gloomy as a black pot that had been burning for decades.

The state of Wu came to discuss peace.

If His Highness agrees.

Where does his wealth come from?

Wenpin was confused.

……

And this moment.

In the main camp of the Han army.

Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu State, acted as an envoy and as a proton bargaining chip. At this moment, he bowed to Liu Chan.

"The envoy pays homage to His Highness."

Liu Chan looked at Sun Deng who was as sick as a cat, chuckled, and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat quickly."

While saying this, Liu Chan's eyes kept glancing back.

"Aren't the most important people the prince and the queen?" Liu Chan had a look of confusion on his face.

"Why do we only see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now but not Queen Wu?"

Are you going to see Queen Wu?

I don't even want to expose you!

Your reputation as a good wife, Mr. Liu, is already known to everyone in the world.

When I think of the queen being humiliated, I think the country of Wu is being humiliated.

Sun Deng's face turned green and white, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Didn't Prince Wu hear Gu's question?"

Liu Chan narrowed his eyes, and the murderous aura in his body was suddenly released.

Sun Deng was shocked. Only then did he realize that now was not the time to be angry.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

Now he is in the Han army.

If Liu Gongsi chops him down in anger, won't he cry?

You still have to be cowardly when you should be cowardly.

Therefore, Sun Deng said sincerely: "The queen is outside the tent."

As if he was afraid that Liu Chan was still angry, Sun Deng continued to explain: "My younger brother Sun Ba is still young and needs the queen's care."

As soon as he heard that Trainer Bu had indeed arrived, Liu Chan's expression suddenly turned bright, and the murderous aura he had just now completely disappeared.

"Queen Wu is Gu's mother-in-law. Xiaohu has been worried about her mother-in-law's health recently, and Gu is also the same. Tonight, Gu is going to have a good visit! She must make her mother-in-law's health completely better." (End of Chapter)
