The sun set again, and the sunset glowed the sky and the river red.

The valuable materials on the river were almost salvaged, and the soldiers began to pick and choose, not liking the bad things.

Tang Jian still insisted that his subordinates salvage all the corpses and wooden boards that could be seen on the river, and then counted the number of people.

Finally, they burned and buried them on the mountain by the river.

Just to burn these remains, all the trees on the mountain were cut down.

The fire of Chibi only burned for one night.

But the fire of burning corpses here has been burning for three days!

This famous large-scale battle in history, the casualties are incalculable.

The number of dead and wounded salvaged by Tang Jian alone is as high as more than 90,000!

Basically, each person salvaged seven or eight corpses on average.

Tang Jian also had people carve a stone tablet by the river, counted the bodies salvaged, and then carved it on the stone tablet.

Tang Jian has never been a weak person, but seeing so many people die, as a living person, how could he remain indifferent?

Zhou Yu, because of this battle, will be famous all over the world and passed down through the ages!

People in later generations are happy to see the romance of famous generals and counselors galloping on the battlefield and conquering the mountains and rivers.

But these dead people will not leave any traces in history.

Tang Jian asked people to gather all the newly captured Cao Jun prisoners, and then bring them to the stone tablet and pour wine to worship.

"One general succeeds, and thousands of bones are withered..."

With his sigh, all the Cao Jun prisoners couldn't help but start crying.

"From then on, people all over the world remembered Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang."

"But who can remember the names of these dead people?"

"I am just a mortal. All I can do for them is to collect their bodies and carve the number of people here."

"I hope that one day in the future, someone will pass by here and see the stone tablet."

"They will also remember that so many people were buried here."

After saying that, Tang Jian poured a pot of wine in front of the tablet.

Seeing this scene, all the Cao army captives knelt down and cried.

Many people expressed their willingness to follow Tang Jian on the spot.

However, some people were loyal and said that they would still return to Cao Cao even if there were thousands of difficulties and dangers.

Tang Jian was of course happy to let them go back.

And he treated their injuries and gave them travel expenses.

Afterwards, the troops set off one after another, going down the river and returning to Dantu.

As for how Zhou Yu and his men distributed the results of the battle, and whether Kong Ming sent Guan Yu to intercept Huarong Road, these were not things Tang Jian should consider.

What he had to do now was to quickly pull the material wealth he had obtained and the two thousand horses back to the garrison.

And find a suitable place to station troops again, ready to welcome the arrival of the next stage!

The news of the victory at Chibi soon reached Sun Quan's ears as Lu Su rushed back to Jianye.

The first thing Sun Quan did was not to ask Zhou Yu and his men how they won, but to ask:

"Did you get rid of Tang Jian?"

Lu Su looked up at Sun Quan in surprise, then shook his head and said:

"No."

If Tang Jian was not killed, even if Cao Cao was defeated, Sun Quan would feel like a lump in his throat and could not be happy.

At this time, Zhang Zhao took the account book into the hall and said to Sun Quan:

"Report to the Marquis of Wu, the counties have recruited more than 60,000 elite soldiers. If more time is available, tens of thousands more can be recruited!"

"It is estimated that 100,000 soldiers can be obtained for the Marquis of Wu to send troops to Hefei and capture Yangzhou!"

Lu Su turned his head and saw that Zhang Zhao no longer looked like he was relying on his seniority.

These aristocratic families are very well-informed!

After the victory of Chibi, Sun Quan didn't get the news yet, but they knew it first!

In addition, Zhang Zhao immediately adjusted his strategy at the first time, from a passive surrender faction to a main war faction supporting Sun Quan's crossing the river to the north overnight.

In addition, they also actively raised food and grass for Sun Quan, allocated private soldiers and servants, and within a few days, they gathered 60,000 to 70,000 people!

Because they knew that if Zhou Yu won, Cao Cao would be seriously injured. At this time, Cao Cao had no time to look east, and it was a good time to send troops to capture Yangzhou!

If they miss this opportunity again, they will miss out on even more huge benefits.

And their family will always be suppressed by Zhou Yu!

Old fox!

Lu Su secretly complained in his heart, then looked at Sun Quan and asked:

"My lord, are you crossing the river to the north to capture Hefei?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Quan finally stroked his red beard and smiled triumphantly.

"Now, Gongjin has defeated Cao Cao for me."

"Cao Cao is seriously injured and must have no time to look east to Hefei."

"I intend to take this opportunity to send troops to Hefei and aim at Xuchang, and fight for the world with Cao thieves!"

"I don't know what Zi Jing thinks!"

After hearing this battle, Lu SuThe strategy is not bad.

Now Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao's 830,000 troops with more than 30,000 soldiers, and is continuing to attack some strategic locations such as Jingzhou Nanjun.

At this time, if he does not lead his troops north to capture Yangzhou, he will be a fool!

Fortunately, Sun Quan is not a fool.

So, Lu Su said: "My lord, this is what you should do!"

Sun Quan just laughed for less than five seconds, and thought of Tang Jian again.

All the happiness was swept away.

It is said that last time he sent Lu Meng to murder Tang Jian, but Tang Jian tricked him into getting 5,000 Cao soldiers, which made him famous.

So, Sun Quan asked Lu Su again: "Did Tang Jian participate in the Battle of Chibi this time? Did he make any meritorious service?"

Lu Su replied: "No."

"Tang Jian only stayed with Liu Bei in Shaxian and did not participate in the battle."

"Stayed in Shaxian?"

Sun Quan originally wanted to hear what merits Tang Jian had made, and then summon him to Jianye under the pretext of rewarding him for his merits, ambush the swordsmen, and kill him by smashing the cup as a signal.

But Tang Jian did not participate in the battle?

And he got involved with Liu Bei?

This made Sun Quan very unhappy again, and he felt very depressed.

He stood up, walked down from the main seat, and came to the window to breathe.

Zhang Zhao saw Sun Quan's thoughts at the first time.

So he stepped forward and said: "Does Wu Hou want to get rid of Tang Jian?"

Seeing that his thoughts were guessed by Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan cleared his throat uncomfortably and pretended to cough.

Zhang Zhao smiled when he saw this.

I thought to myself that you, Sun Zhongmou, want to play tricks in front of me, but I'm afraid you are still a little naive!

You are a young boy, and I know what you are going to do as soon as you raise your tail.

Originally, Zhang Zhao didn't want to participate in this matter, but when he recalled that he was framed by Tang Jian at Xu's Restaurant last time, he felt unhappy.

So, it's better to take advantage of now to give Sun Quan an idea, on the one hand, he can destroy Tang Jian and vent his anger.

On the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to improve his relationship with Wu Hou.

Otherwise, Zhou Yu has already made great achievements in Chibi, and if he doesn't make any achievements, the status of the Zhang family in Jiangdong will always be suppressed by Zhou Yu!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao stepped forward and bowed:

"I have a plan, maybe I can get rid of Tang Jian!"
