This is a great victory!

In comparison, it only paid a small price to achieve considerable results, directly shattering the enemy's cross-river campaign, destroying its offensive plan, and making the joint amphibious attack come to nothing.

It seems simple, but it is actually hard-won.

Behind this is two years of layout, careful planning... and the sacrifice of many people.

After the victory, there was no celebration, but a special ceremony was held.

The army was all assembled, the scene was solemn and solemn, and all the soldiers had a white cloth on their right arm.

At the front, eight generals headed by Kong Gaohan carried a coffin, and then all the soldiers lined up and walked slowly to the north bank of the river.

An empty tomb has been dug here and the coffin has been lowered.

Guan Ning was wearing a black crown gown. He squatted down, picked up the loess and sprinkled it on the coffin.

This scene is touching.

Your Majesty personally sprinkled the first handful of loess, which was a great honor for the person being buried.

Then the generals gathered in a circle and filled the grave with shovels. Soon it was piled up and a tombstone was erected.

Yu Wenxiong’s Tomb!

This was a burial ceremony. Yu Wenxiong died in battle, so there should be no bones left in the bombing, so this is a cenotaph.

Inside the coffin was the armor worn by Yu Wenxiong during his lifetime.

The tomb stands here, the place closest to where he died in battle...

"deliver an imperial order!"

At this time, Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "I will posthumously designate Yu Wenxiong as the King of Wuwei and enter the Lingyan Gongchen Pavilion. The Yuwen family will become a first-class meritorious family and enjoy the blessings of heaven!"

Awarded in front of the mausoleum.

This has set a precedent for this dynasty and even previous dynasties, and shocked everyone.

They all knew that His Majesty would definitely pursue the title of Yu Wenxiong, but they did not expect that he would pursue the title of king.

The title system of Daning continued from the previous dynasty with some changes. The highest title that can be conferred is king.

Kings are divided into princes and kings with different surnames, that is, the difference between one-character king and two-character king.

Although Yu Wenxiong was posthumously named, he was still a king, the first since the establishment of the new dynasty.

For a first-class meritorious family, as long as they do not commit suicide, the descendants of the family will enjoy eternal blessings.

Your Majesty is really not stingy.

However, they all also know that His Majesty is rectifying Yu Wenxiong's name. In the past two years, Yu Wenxiong has been marginalized for the implementation of this plan, and now he must return his true identity.

This king truly deserves his title.

As for entering Lingyan Pavilion, there was no surprise.

While everyone was thinking, Guan Ning continued: "The whole army will be informed of Yu Wenxiong's deeds, and all military and military flags will be lowered for half a month to express condolences!"

This sets a precedent and is a supreme honor.

But this kind of glory cannot be learned.

Guan Ning looked at the tomb in front of him and sighed in his heart: "That's all I can give you..."

Yu Wenxiong's achievements are enough to bear all this.

He serves as the chief instructor of the Jiangwu Hall. Over the years, he has trained many outstanding generals for Daning, including special forces and intelligence agencies.

Not to mention this great victory, it is not an exaggeration to call it the turning point of the campaign.

The Wei-Liang coalition doesn't have many trump cards anymore, and now it's time for them to feel uncomfortable...

On the south bank of the Changjiang River, the coalition station was in a mess. All the camps near the river were destroyed, and only the camps farther south still survived.

The casualties in this battle were countless, the losses were indescribable, and the army retreated nearly a hundred miles.

Emperor Jianwu of the Wei army and Emperor Wu of Liang Zhu Wen temporarily lived in Jiangyin County in the south.

The two of them lived together, with the same ugly expressions, and suffered blows from the sky to the ground in just a few days.

They watched helplessly as the fire raged and the smoke billowed, unable to do anything.

Shen Tuxiao, the general of Liang's border guard army, bowed and reported carefully.

"All Anbian troops... were killed in the battle. The few survivors were severely burned by the smoke and smoke. Anbian General Gu Yushu died in the battle, left deputy general Zhou Lu, right deputy general..."

"The border guards were in slightly better condition because they were preparing on the shore. However, the smoke was huge at the time and our army was covered in it. Many soldiers were choked to death by the smoke... They were trampled during the chaos of the retreat, mainly injured.

There are many, so I’m afraid it’s difficult to cure…”

He hesitated while looking at Zhu Wen's face.

To be honest, he was lucky to have survived. Fortunately, he had a fast horse around him.

"Just tell me how many people are left?"

Zhu Wen listened impatiently.

"There are still more than 100,000 people with fighting strength."

"How much is left?"

"We haven't calculated the exact statistics yet. It should be that he has just made his mark."

Zhu Wen's face became even more ugly.

His hands were clasped tightly on the armrest.

The two legions had 600,000 troops, but only more than 100,000 were burned by the fire. In other words, nearly 500,000 troops were gone!

This...this...

"Are all the people in the Anbian Army dead?"

Zhu Wen was unwilling to give in and asked again: "Now that the fire has been extinguished, send people to Changjiang to salvage and rescue and see..."

"Your Majesty, our ships were so connected that the soldiers in the middle didn't even have a chance to dive."

Shen Tuxiao replied cautiously.

In fact, if the boats were separated, it might not be like this. Even if the fire swept through, it would not spread.

result……

His hidden meaning is not to think about it anymore, everyone will die.

"Where's the food and grass?"

Himekawa also interrupted and asked nonsense.

"The camp was burned, so food and grass were hard to save..."

The left governor beside him, Zhang Luan, responded equally cautiously.

He took the position directly.

Because the Grand Governor Xin Yuanbai died, but there was still no body left.

"Damn it!"

"Damn Yu Wenxiong!"

"Damn Guan Ning!"

After all, Himekawa is young, and her temperament is slightly lacking. She has been gloomy and silent for the past few days, but now she finally explodes!

He was so angry that his body and mind trembled!

The failure of the battle across the river means that it will be difficult to implement their offensive plan, which will affect the entire war situation!

So many troops are gone, along with food, fodder, military supplies, and equipment, the losses are immeasurable...

How could two emperors accept such a disastrous defeat when they went on a personal expedition?

Himekawa felt like he was holding his breath in his chest and it was difficult to let go. His emotions urgently needed to be released.

"If our boats were not connected together, maybe this wouldn't be the case."

Zhang Luan muttered.

When you lose, you have to look for reasons or shirk responsibility.

Everyone feels uncomfortable and wants to find a way to vent.

He just whispered, but Shen Tuxiao heard him.

"What did you say!"

"I... didn't say anything."

"You said that if the warships were not connected, there would not have been such a big loss. Are you afraid to admit it?"

When the words came to this, Zhang Luan directly admitted it. He said loudly: "What? Did I say something wrong? If the boat was not connected, why would it be like this?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Tuxiao said coldly: "If the battle is defeated, the responsibility will be passed on to us!"

Everyone knows that it was Zhu Zhen, the crown prince of Liang, who suggested connecting the boats.

"Am I right?"

Zhang Luan refused to give in at all.
