"Ah?"

The wind gradually weakened, and the two war horses also stood up from the ground, shaking their necks and making a gurgling sound.

Fu Tong pulled the war horses and looked at Tang Jian in disbelief.

"No, sir, why is this?"

Fu Tong looked back at the beacon fire in the distance that reflected the red sky.

Then he asked Tang Jian: "Sir, isn't this the best time for us to make achievements?"

Tang Jian shook his head and said:

"Master Fu, you think too much."

"That is the battlefield of the regular army, it is not our turn to make achievements."

"The place where we can get benefits is exactly here!"

After Tang Jian finished speaking, he pointed to the river.

Fu Tong still didn't understand:

"Sir, what achievements can we make on this river?"

"Could it be that Cao Cao will flee east by boat?"

Tang Jian shook his head and smiled: "Cao Cao will not flee east, but will only flee north."

"We are not waiting for Cao Cao, but everything that floats down this river."

"Later, as long as you see anything valuable and useful, whether it is a ship, a warhorse, or a person or a weapon, pull it up for me."

After listening to this, Fu Tong suddenly felt a little discouraged.

However, he also vaguely knew that Tang Jian did this for the future development of the mercenary group.

And Lu Kuang thought further than Fu Tong.

He agreed very much with Tang Jian's point of view.

Chibi was indeed a battlefield for regular troops.

Even if his group of people made meritorious deeds, they would have to report to Sun Quan to reward them.

Sun Quan and Tang Jian are now incompatible.

At that time, I am afraid that I will not get the credit, and will be calculated by Sun Quan again.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to salvage supplies here peacefully and make a fortune quietly!

Thinking of this, Lu Kuang's admiration for Tang Jian increased a little more!

So he said to Fu Tong: "Master Fu, the adults have their own deep meaning, we can just execute it."

On the river bank, someone cheered.

Then everyone cheered!

The whole river section was shocked by the deafening cheers.

Hannan Cao's army camp.

Feng Kai also discovered the abnormality of Chibi!

So he quickly summoned all the generals to discuss.

"Such a big fire, it is likely that the prime minister's camp is on fire."

"What do you think, should our army stay here and wait for dispatch, or take the initiative to go to Chibi for rescue?"

The question was raised, and the seven or eight generals below, seven or eight opinions, could not make a decision for a while.

Then Feng Kai asked again: "What deployment did Tang Jian make on the river bank? Did he go to reinforce Chibi?"

A general replied: "Tang Jian did not leave the river bank, but made preparations for salvaging. I think he wanted to salvage the ships and supplies floating upstream."

Feng Kai was shocked when he heard this:

"How can he be so confident?"

"Could it be that he calculated that the prime minister would lose?"

"No! Hannan cannot be defended. I suggest that we abandon the Hannan camp, assemble the whole army quickly, and rush to Chibi to meet the prime minister!"

…………

"My lord! My lord!"

Cao Ren was smoked like a black man, and his battle robe was also burned with several holes.

He rushed into Cao Cao's tent and said hurriedly:

"My Lord! The fire is too big to put out in time. Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Gan Ning and others have already boarded the warships and landed! Countless soldiers in our water fort have been burned to death!"

"The fire has spread to the land camp. This place cannot be defended. Please evacuate quickly!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao seemed to have lost all his strength. He took two steps back and fell on the steps!

However, this sense of frustration only lasted for a short time.

How can ordinary people compare to the treacherous character?

Soon, Cao Cao quickly cheered up, his eyes glowed again, and he asked:

"How many troops are left in our army?"

Cao Ren replied: "The navy was scattered by the fire, and almost all of them were wiped out!"

"Almost all the surrendered soldiers in Hebei and Jingzhou fled!"

"Generals Xu Huang, Yu Jin and others have gathered more than 10,000 troops in the land camp, and are now fighting with the Jiangdong troops."

"But the fire is so fierce that more than half of our troops have been burned to death and suffocated. It won't be long before it will burn here!"

"Please leave quickly, my lord!"

After listening to Cao Ren's brief report, Cao Cao immediately had a countermeasure in his mind.

"Send an order, gather the troops and retreat to Wulin!"

Then he walked out of the tent under the protection of Xu Chu, rode on a yellow horse, and went to Wulin.

Not long after Cao Cao left, the fire engulfed the camp where he was just now!

Countless Jiangdong soldiers and horses rode on large ships, followed the east wind, and swarmed onto the north bank like ants, and began to chase and kill the fleeing Cao army.

On the Red Cliff, swords and guns were clashed everywhere, and corpses were everywhere!

Even the river was soon filled with floating corpses!

The fighting continued all the time.Continued.

Many burned ships drifted down the river.

Finally, they arrived at Jiayu Bay where Tang Jian had been waiting for half the night. Countless ships with flames drifted down the river like lanterns, illuminating the entire river surface.

Of course, there were also many intact ships. Many Cao soldiers could not control the ships, so they could only hold the side of the ships and drift helplessly.

Some of the ships even had many war horses!

Many miscellaneous things, such as baggage, food, and even carriages, floated along the river.

Some of them were lying on them, at a loss.

"Here they come!"

Tang Jian saw that these rich supplies finally floated in front of him.

The layout during this period of time finally paid off!

Finally, a faint smile appeared on his face. So he immediately ordered Fu Tong:

"Master Fu, you quickly bring your men and horses to salvage all the boats, men, and supplies on the river!"

"Cao Cao has mobilized the country's resources to attack Dongwu!"

"We must get a lot of hauls this time!"

After hearing this, Fu Tong immediately took the order to launch the boat.

The soldiers who used to be old sailors roared excitedly, drove their ships into the river, and hooked the intact warships with iron hooks.

Then the people on the shore pulled the ropes, and the supplies in the river were quickly dragged to the shore!

Tang Jian also asked Lu Kuang to bring people to receive the Cao soldiers who were salvaged from the river.

If there was nothing serious, they would dig a pit and burn and bury the bodies floating in the river to prevent the plague from spreading downstream.

The injured were gathered aside and sent to look after.

Before long, the boats on the riverside were almost full!

Tang Jian asked people to release a lot of supplies down the river and continue to salvage along the way.

They were busy until dawn, and the floating things not only did not decrease, but increased!

Especially the corpses, which were floating all over the river.

So Tang Jian could only ask people to selectively give up some unimportant things.

Only salvage those good and useful objects.

Then they fished out the corpses and wooden boards, piled them together and burned them.

Then they worked from morning to night, until the third day, they barely salvaged everything!

Needless to say, there were so many boats on the riverside that they could not be seen at a glance.

There were also more than 8,000 Cao troops intercepted!

Now, there were more than 20,000 people eating under his command!

This made him feel a little difficult to deal with for a while.

Tang Jian smiled and comforted himself: "Maybe the troubles of happiness are probably like this!"
