"Get up quickly."

Deng Mu strode forward, stretched out his hands to help Zhuge Dan stand up steadily, and patted his shoulder affectionately:

"It has been eight years since we last met."

Zhuge Dan smiled and corrected:

"The Prime Minister remembered it wrong. To be exact, it should be seven and a half years."

Deng Mu was stunned when he heard it, and then he counted carefully with his fingers, and couldn't help but sighed:

"It is true. Seven and a half years have passed in a hurry."

A trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and then he said:

"Thinking back then, you and I fought side by side and conquered Chuzhou for the emperor together."

"At that time, we were still passionate young men. Who would have thought that when we met again, you and I would have become fathers."

Speaking of this, Deng Mu couldn't help but sigh, and his ambitions of the year echoed in his mind.

Zhuge Dan laughed at himself and said:

"I can't compare to the Prime Minister's blessing, with many beauties and many children."

"I only have one daughter."

After hearing this, Deng Mu laughed:

"Look at my memory, I really remembered it wrong."

"Tonight's banquet, I will be the first to drink."

Seeing this, Zhuge Dan also laughed heartily:

"I haven't drunk with the Prime Minister for many years, I must drink to my heart's content tonight."

"Don't go home until you are drunk, let's go!"

Deng Mu was full of passion, and then he took Zhuge Dan's hand, and the two laughed and walked down the tower, spurring their horses.

In the water camp of Yulin City, more than 800 warships were moored at the shore.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the river, reflecting the entire river like a giant dragon.

Chen Ba jumped off his horse and stood on the shore, staring at his fleet with a sharp gaze.

Watching the soldiers get off the warships one by one, his heart was full of expectations.

"How is the war going with Wen Tai and his men now?"

Chen Ba turned to ask Su Lu, the counselor beside him.

The Confucian strategist called Su Lu calmly replied:

"Your Majesty, according to the latest news from Wen Tai, Zhuge Dan is now hiding in Yuecheng Port and dare not go to war easily."

"He plans to launch a full-scale attack in the near future, and strive to capture Yuecheng in one go."

Chen Ba nodded and praised with satisfaction:

"Wen Tai is indeed a rare general."

Su Lu frowned slightly and expressed his concerns:

"Your Majesty, although Wen Tai is quite talented, the thief Deng has personally led the army to Xiangfan."

"This man is cunning and good at using troops. Should we consider letting Wen Tai lead the army back to Seoul to ensure that everything is safe?"

After hearing Su Lu's words, Chen Ba's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

He glanced at Su Lu and snorted:

"Su Qing, you are good in everything except that you are too cautious."

"Although the thief Deng is powerful, he has just arrived in Xiangfan and has not yet established a firm foothold. "

"If Wen Tai can take advantage of this opportunity to capture the Yuecheng fortress in one fell swoop, then wouldn't the initiative of the entire Chuzhou be in our hands?"

His words revealed his disdain for Deng Mu.

As Chen Ba listened, his dissatisfaction gradually accumulated in his heart. He snorted coldly:

"The thief Deng can defeat the princes of the world, which is indeed extraordinary. I have never underestimated him."

"But even if he can't take Yuecheng, we can just withdraw to Hancheng."

"I don't believe that the thief Deng can come up with any tricks. Can he also add wings and attack Hancheng by surprise? "

Su Lu was speechless for a moment, choked by Chen Ba's rebuttal. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Although he was worried, he didn't know how to speak.

Just then, a large number of warships suddenly appeared on the river in the distance, and they were heading towards Yulin.

"Wentai's team?"

"Why did he return to Yulin instead of attacking Zhuge Dan in Yuecheng?"

Chen Ba's face changed suddenly, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

Su Lu was also full of doubts:

"Could it be that Deng's reinforcements have arrived in Yuecheng, forcing Wentai to retreat?"

"But even so, he should have retreated to Hancheng, why did he return to Yulin? "

The two men rode to the pier with an uneasy mood and witnessed Wen Tai's flagship entering the water camp and docking steadily beside the pier.

Wen Tai jumped off the pier, walked to Chen Ba with a solemn look, bowed deeply, and said:

"I am incompetent and was attacked by Deng thief in Seoul. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Chen Ba's face changed drastically, and his astonishment was beyond words:

"You...what did you say?"

He looked at Wen Tai in disbelief, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

Wen Tai took a deep breath and repeated: []

"I lost Seoul. Please punish me, Your Majesty." ”

Chen Ba finally heard it clearly this time, but the expression on his face was even more confused.

He helped Wen Tai up and asked anxiously:

"Get up and tell me what happened?"

"How did Hancheng fall?"

Wen Tai sighed and described in detail how Deng Mu pretended to go to Jingcheng, but secretly changed to Yunwu Road and took advantage of the time difference to attack Hancheng.

He also described how Deng Mu froze the Han River, led the cavalry to cross the river on ice, and successfully attacked Hancheng.

Chen Ba's body was shocked, and the expression on his face froze between astonishment and anger.

He clenched his fists and roared angrily:

"Damn Deng Mu, you are still so cunning!"

"You actually used such means to cross the river on ice? ”

Wei Rui sighed:

“Your Majesty, the governor’s plan was very thorough. No one expected that the thief Deng could freeze the Han River.”

“The fall of Hancheng is reallyNo wonder Governor Wen. "

He defended Wen Tai.

Chen Ba naturally understood that Wen Tai had done his best and did not blame him.

He comforted him: "Who could have thought that Deng Mu would cross the river in this way? No one could have expected it. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

After hearing this, Wen Tai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
