  Miao Fang died and died miserably. The corpse, which took half a day to assemble with great effort, was still missing half an arm.

  Nang Shafang was killed, Xu Zhu retreated, and today Liu Feng really vented his anger. However, after venting, Liu Feng found that there were new problems in front of him.

  If his guess was correct, Mei Fang should be Mei Zhu's spy to monitor himself, but now the monitor died like this, although it was self-inflicted, but Mei Zhu far in the rear may not think so.

  Miao Fang's death will likely further stimulate Miao Zhuo's suspicious mind.

  "Your Excellency, what should be done with General Mi's body?" Ma Su broke the silence.

  "Arrange for someone to send Xia Kou back as soon as possible, along with the detailed account of this incident from start to finish. It should be clear how it's written." Liu Feng pulled the white cloth and re-covered the miserable corpse.

  "Taizi persuaded General Mi several times, but General Mi insisted on going to battle and ordered Taizi to guard the rear and set up an ambush. However, after the battle, General Mi retreated too late and unfortunately died in the chaos of the army. Taizi led us to turn grief into strength, fought fiercely, and finally repelled the enemy. Does Taizi think this is written well?"

  Ma Chao was very clever, and this battle report, although it gave the credit for the ambush in the marsh to Mi Fang, cleared Liu Feng of his previous disobedience. As a result, Mi Fang's death and that of the 700 soldiers had nothing to do with Liu Feng.

  If it weren't said that way, others would think afterwards that since Liu Feng had a wonderful plan, why didn't he inform Mi Fang in advance, but let Mi Fang go into battle blindly without knowing the situation, although Mi Fang's death was not caused by Liu Feng, but Liu Feng also cannot be exempt from responsibility.

  Liu Feng was very satisfied with what Ma Ze had said and nodded: "Yes, write it like that."

  …………

  A hundred miles away, Wuling.

  In the spacious military tent, eight large torches were lit on both sides, casting a warm and bright light inside the tent, as if it were two different worlds from the cold and frozen outside.

  In the center of the large tent, on a huge table, two thick candles as thick as a child's arm stood on either side, and under the flickering red light, the man in a red robe behind the table was intently staring at the giant map spread out on the table.

  It was an ordinary face, with a dark and sallow complexion, a thin face, but paired with those deep, wise eyes that seemed to hold infinite wisdom, there was an extraordinary glow. Under the sharp gaze of the eagle, it seemed as if there was a kind of wisdom that could see through everything.

  The flap of the tent was lifted from outside, a cold wind swept in with fine snowflakes, and a burly man entered the tent with heavy footsteps.

  "Has Zhong Kang come back?"

  Cao Zhen did not lift his head, but he already knew who had entered. The vast majority of people, including Cao Ren and other relatives and generals, had to inform him in advance if they wanted to see him. Among the many generals of Cao's army, those who could approach Cao Zhen without permission were countable on one's fingers.

  "Zhu Wu Neng is incompetent and has led the army to defeat, I request that the Prime Minister takes responsibility for punishment."

  Cao Zhen raised his head, looking at Xun You who was kneeling on the ground with a dejected spirit. A hint of surprise flashed in his eagle-like eyes, but it was soon replaced by a calm and composed smile. He slightly raised his hand and smiled faintly: "Victory and defeat are common in war, what's there to be concerned about? Get up, Zhong Kang."

  Xu Chu stood up, lowered his head and remained silent, the color of shame on his face still lingering.

  "Who is leading the troops at Rushan Camp of that bandit with big ears, to make Zhong Kang suffer a setback?" Cao Yan asked curiously.

  Xu Zhu's face grew increasingly ashamed, and the thought of being defeated by a fifteen or sixteen year old youth was particularly unbearable. However, in response to Cao Yan's question, he did not dare to conceal anything, and quietly recounted the events of the Battle of Lu Shan.

  "Liu Feng?" Cao Zhen's fingertips tapped rhythmically on her forehead, as if searching for this unfamiliar name from memory. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "This Liu Feng, isn't he the fake son that Liu Bei just adopted not long ago?"

  Xu Zhu nodded: "It's this kid, this kid still holds the Qinglian Sword. It turns out that the murderer who killed General Xiahou at Changban Slope last time was him."

  In an instant, Cao Cao's eagle eyes flashed with a fierce light: "I didn't expect the Great Ears Bandit to have such a talented son. If he grows up to be someone, it would be a great addition to the Great Ears Bandit's forces. However, I've heard that the Great Ears Bandit has another biological son?"

  "Yes, it's said to be called Adou." Xu Chu still had a good memory.

  Cao Cao's mouth slightly curved, revealing a hint of a sly smile: "After all, he is just the son of a bandit, with the cunning of a great thief. It seems that we don't need to take action, this Liu Feng will eventually die at the hands of his self-proclaimed righteous father."

  Xu Zhu temporarily could not understand the profound meaning of Cao Zhen's words, his heart had always been resentful of those humiliating defeats, now hearing Cao Zhen's words, which contained much praise for Liu Feng, he couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, that yellow-haired little boy only won by luck, please Prime Minister lend me another thousand soldiers and horses, this time I will definitely bring back that fellow's head to report to the Prime Minister."

  "A young man who will die soon, why bother to argue with him? Now we need to deal with the Wu army on the south bank. As for Liu Bei's army in Lushan, it's not worth wasting too many troops."

  Cao Cao apparently did not intend to use troops against Lu Shan's enemy again, and Xu Zhu's vicious remark could only be endured by himself.

  Cao Cao's gaze returned to the giant case map, and a solemn expression reappeared on his pale yellow face.

  On the map, the red mark on the south bank is Wu's water camp. Since Wu thoroughly blocked the Yangtze River, Cao Cao's thousand warships were suppressed and could only shrink near the north shore water camp, so they couldn't send reconnaissance ships to the south bank either. Therefore, at this time, he still knew nothing about the reality of Wu's water camp.

  On the contrary, last night in the dead of night, Zhou Yu this cunning little devil, actually took advantage of the river fog's cover, and openly drove his warship to Cao Cao's doorstep, thoroughly inspecting his water stronghold from inside out.

  Cao Cao was very anxious, but he couldn't think of a good solution. In this eastern expedition, he overestimated his own strength and underestimated the strength of Jiangdong's navy. Facing the vast Yangtze River, he truly realized the helplessness of having tens of thousands of elite troops with nowhere to deploy them.

  Now, Cao Cao can only hope to survive this winter and wait until next spring when the warm weather will restore his elite northern army's combat effectiveness. By then, the newly surrendered naval forces in Jingzhou will have also settled down and completed their training, and he can engage in a decisive battle with that little Zhou Yu.

  Just as he let out a soft sigh, the attendants outside rushed in and reported: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, there is a southerner outside who claims to be an envoy of Huang Gai from Jiangdong, with confidential matters to see the Prime Minister."
