After that, Bai Feng left with Sun Shangxiang and headed to his residence in Hanzhong.
After bringing Ling Ju and Lv Lingqi along, they set off for Xuchang.
Bai Feng still wanted to meet with Cao Cao to discuss their future plans.
… …
At the same time, in Jiangdong.
Huang Gai, Gan Ning, Cheng Pu, and the other Dongyue Wu generals had all returned to the capital.
They had brought a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers this time and lost almost ten thousand soldiers.
Sun Quan was very satisfied with this news.
"Gongfu, Xingba, Demou!"
Sun Quan was all smiles when he saw the three of them.
"The three of you have made me wait for a long time!"
"You are all pillars of Jiangdong! Thank you for your hard work in this campaign! "
Huang Gai quickly smiled.
"You're too kind, Milord. This campaign is to expand Jiangdong's territory. It's worth it!"
Sun Quan stood with his hands behind his back.
"However, when you return, there's still one more thing you need to do."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other.
Didn't they just finish fighting?
Were they going to start a second round of cleansing immediately?
The three of them frowned at this thought.
If that was the case, why did he call them back?
They could start fighting as soon as the supplies arrived!
Huang Gai couldn't help but ask, "Milord, please explain.
"Please speak clearly, my lord. Even if we have to go through water and tread on fire, we will definitely share your burdens."
Sun Quan let out a sigh and said,
"Destroy the Shanyue!"
"After you left, I didn't have many soldiers. Ling Tong led fifty thousand elite soldiers to destroy the Shanyue, but he failed."
"Now that Yuzhang and the other places are in a state of emergency, the people are in fear, afraid that the Shanyue will cause trouble again."
"If we can't deal with the Shanyue, Jiangdong won't be safe!"
The three of them seemed to be relieved when they heard Sun Quan's words.
Gan Ning smiled.
"My lord, what is there to be worried about?"
"It's just a mere Shanyue. We'll definitely do our best to exterminate it!"
"To comfort the people of Jiangdong!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately smiled and said,
"Good! As expected of Xingba! "
"I've already prepared a banquet to welcome all of you!"
"In three days, lead the army and flatten Shanyue!"
The courtiers in the court were all excited.
The main force was back and they could finally attack Shanyue!
These officials were even a little afraid of Shanyue.
Shanyue had been a big problem in Jiangdong since the beginning of time.
Recently, he had been making frequent appearances in various prefectures, not only in Yuzhang, but also in Kuaiji.
This caused the commoners to panic.
If he could not subdue the people, Jiangdong would be in chaos again.
However, just as the Ministers were getting worked up, a figure quietly left the hall.
…
At this moment, in the village of Shanyue.
Zhao Yun was training the newly incorporated Shanyue soldiers according to Bai Feng's method.
These soldiers only had better stamina than ordinary people, but their combat skills were a mess.
In the training manual that Bai Feng had given him, there was a very complete set of fighting techniques.
Even Zhao Yun learned these skills from time to time.
The most important thing was that these techniques could be integrated into his spear arts, allowing him to reach a higher level.
Thus, the scene of hundreds of thousands of people doing push-ups, trekking, and practicing combat skills became the most beautiful scene in Shanyue.
At this moment, Tai Shici rushed toward Zhao Yun.
"Zilong, Zilong!"
"Not good! According to the spy I planted in Wu County, Sun Quan will send troops to attack us in two days! "
When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
"Could it be that Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and the others have returned with their troops?"
He didn't even need to think to know that this was the case.
Jiangdong had very few troops at their disposal. When they attacked Shanyue, they could only send 50,000 Childe Soldiers.
As for the City Defense Army, it was even more impossible for them to fight against Shanyue.
They could defend the city, but when it came to attacking, they were far from being able to do so.
Now that he thought about it, this was the only possibility.
The main force had returned!
Tai Shici hurriedly nodded.
"That's right."
"These three aren't ordinary people. They're all first-rate generals."
"Zilong, you and I can't show up. We can only let the Shanyue soldiers deal with them."
"But, how's your training going?"
Zhao Yun faintly sighed and said, "That's right.
"If you want to train them to perfection, you'll need at least a few more years."
"The foundation of these Shanyue soldiers is too weak."
"I think the two of us should disguise ourselves as Shanyue soldiers, change into horses and weapons, and command the troops on the front lines."
"If we only let the soldiers fight, we won't be able to stop Jiangdong's main force."
Zhao Yun had dealt with the Jiangdong Army many times, so Zhao Yun knew Jiangdong's main force better than Tai Shici.
After all, Tai Shici hadn't been to court or the battlefield for a long time. He had always been the governor of Yuzhang.
Tai Shici nodded heavily.
"That's the only thing we can do now."
"Teacher isn't here, so we must defend this place!"
Zhao Yun smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, General Ziyi. Before Teacher left, he gave me a blueprint."
"I've already sent someone to create the item on the blueprint. Teacher said that with it, we'll be able to stop the Jiangdong Army."
"During this period of time, we didn't build the outer walls for nothing."
Tai Shici was slightly taken aback.
During this period of time, other than gathering intelligence, Tai Shici's most important task was to follow Bai Feng's instructions and build walls at various points in Shanyue.
However, Tai Shici didn't understand why these walls were built.
They were on top of a mountain, not a plain. These walls wouldn't be of much use.
Moreover, they couldn't possibly rely on these walls to stop the Jiangdong Army, right?
Then, Zhao Yun clapped his hands.
A group of Shanyue soldiers came from not far away and pushed a large object forward.
A ballista!
Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary ballista!
This ballista was completely different from the ones Tai Shici remembered. However, Tai Shici couldn't tell at the moment.
Zhao Yun smiled.
"This thing needs to be on high ground and has a fixed position to be effective. Therefore, it has to be fixed on a high wall."
"This ballista has been modified by Teacher. It can shoot ten bolts at a time."
"Not only that, but there's also a mechanism for loading. With this mechanism, it only takes about five seconds for the ballista to be automatically loaded and fired."
"The soldiers only need to insert the bolts into a specific position."
