After Lin Zhijing finished making arrangements, Gui Yunzheng looked at He Huairen and Li Wenzhong again.
"General congratulations and general Li, please ask the two generals to lead 20,000 troops and horses. After crossing the river, we will set off immediately to support General Xu and General Ma. General Du, please follow me and lead 20,000 naval troops. We will arrive early tomorrow morning." Go down the river and reach Xiangyang!"
"Promise, I will obey your orders!"
Li Wenzhong, He Huairen and Du Cong were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly went out to receive the order.
Everything was quickly arranged. Next, Gui Yunzheng followed Lin Zhijing to the army and issued a reward order loudly. For a while, all the soldiers cheered.
Before dark, Gui Yunzheng crossed the river and rested in the valley city.
After this deployment of troops and generals, there were only a few thousand defenders left in Gucheng. Of course, this is safe for now. Neither the imperial court nor Prince Ping's Mansion had the ability to get behind them.
Gui Yunzheng thought that within a few days, there would be a terrifying battle on both sides of the Han River. Gui Yunzheng was both fascinated and a little worried about this.
Coming from Shangluo and fighting all the way to now, in general, it has been quite smooth sailing. If we look at the battle damage alone, it can be said to be extremely low. Moreover, the sergeants have withstood the test in blood and fire and sharpened their swords and guns. Some recruits were afraid of blood when they first entered the battlefield, but now after fighting several battles and killing enemy troops several times, they have changed from fear of war to belligerence.
Being warlike, he gradually developed wolf nature.
This is where Gui Yunzheng is most confident. At the Taishan Martial Arts Conference, he led Fang Sheng's naval army to defeat generals all the way, which made him deeply feel the importance of having an iron army.
The current combat power of this army may not reach the level of Fang Sheng's naval army, but it can be achieved by working hard from top to bottom and having the soldiers working together.
If this can be done, it will be easier to handle. Battles are fought, and good soldiers are fought.
Moreover, along the way, he managed the army very strictly and never violated the rule of the people. This also accumulated a lot of prestige for him as the King of England, and many people followed him.
"Husband, please rest early. Isn't the army about to set off tomorrow?"
Ma Zijin looked at her husband, who was lost in thought in the candlelight, and reminded him softly.
She knew her husband's abilities well. These days, although he had little opportunity to charge into battle, he was still busy strategizing underneath.
But tomorrow, he will personally lead the navy directly, but there are no powerful generals around him, which makes Ma Zijin feel uneasy. However, she grew up in the northwest, and this water battle was really her shortcoming, so she was worried for a while.
"Well, Zijin, you're right to remind me, it's time to go to bed."
Gui Yunzheng nodded and said softly.
Looking at Ma Zijin who looked even more charming under the lamp, Gui Yunzheng pulled her onto his lap and gently stroked her catkin, which was as smooth as gelatin.
"Zijin, following me all the way through the world has been really hard on you!"
As he said that, Gui Yunzheng took her into his arms. For a moment, his body and mind were even more agitated than usual.
"Hey!"
Ma Zijin's face turned red, and his body suddenly became hot.
After a while, the candles were blown out, and there were some faint sounds that were indescribable.
Nothing happened all night.
…
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gui Yunzheng, fully clothed, boarded the warship under the protection of Old Bear Cat. Ma Zijin did not accompany him. When everything failed, she was placed in Gucheng by Gui Yunzheng and told her that it was equally important to guard her retreat!
The long horn sounded, the flags fluttered in the river wind, and rows of sergeants stood solemnly on the bow of the ship. One by one, the warships drank water and followed the wind towards Xiangyang. Between heaven and earth, another wave of bloodshed will be set off.
