Last night, Gao Baoxun did not command the command. He understood that he lacked military experience and random command led to more mistakes, so he just stayed in the camp safely. He waited until the 10th day of Dawn. Gao Baoxun walked out of the tent and saw Liu Fu who was furious. He was very surprised and asked quickly: "General Liu, why are your face so bad? Did the enemy launch a surprise attack on our camp last night? Didn't you catch them off guard yesterday?"

Liu Fu's face was dark and he whispered: "I've been blasting geese for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that this time I was pecked by geese. I thought they were just harassing the battle yesterday, but I didn't expect that the enemy suddenly concentrated its main force and launched a raid on Shuanghe Town when it was ugly. Our main business was also harassed by the enemy. To be cautious, I did not go out to pursue it. I thought Shuanghe Town was also harassed by the enemy, so I let the enemy in Yingzhou leave calmly."

"Is Shuanghe Town a big loss? What's the situation of my brother?" Gao Baoxun asked nervously.

Liu Fu sighed. He knew what Gao Baoxun meant, "The second young master is fine, but about 2,000 people were killed in Shuanghe Town, and the burned soldiers suffered losses of no less than 2,500 people. The losses of our main business were about 500 people. We lost 3,000 people last night!"

"Three thousand people?" Gao Baoxun was surprised, "Why are the losses so big?!"

"Many soldiers were too tired and were killed in their sleep; some soldiers' tents were lit and too in a hurry, and did not run out, and were burned to death." Liu Fu took a step forward and whispered: "I have ordered any soldiers who were too burned to quietly stop them from suffering and to affect the morale of the troops. These soldiers were also counted as the ranks of death, so so many people died after counting."

"Oh, so that's it. You're right!" Gao Baoxun nodded and praised: "Soldiers with severe burns cannot be cured at all, and they cannot be put into battle. They also waste our military rations. Just keep it confidential and don't let the soldiers know."

Liu Fu nodded, "Don't worry, prince, I know it. However, we did not lose anything last night, and the enemy's losses were not small. Preliminary statistics were made that they left behind 620 corpses! According to my inspection, they were all young soldiers, and they must be the few elite soldiers in Yingzhou City!"

"Six hundred and twenty?" Gao Baoxun repeated and asked in surprise: "Our information shows that there are only 2,500 people stationed in Yingzhou City, and there are no more than a thousand elite soldiers. Yin Shi is an old bureaucrat and will definitely not be willing to invest all his troops. At least one thousand enemy soldiers participated in the attack last night. Where did Yin Shi find so many elite soldiers?"

Liu Fu quickly replied: "This morning, we captured five injured and unconscious soldiers from the enemy army. After severe torture, they have already told us: Xiangzhou, Anzhou and Suizhou have sent reinforcements, including 500 Xiangzhou, 1,000 Anzhou, and 500 Suizhou. It is estimated that these enemies will also participate in the battle last night."

Gao Baoxun nodded: "No wonder Yin Shi dared to attack. It turned out that he had hired foreign aid! General Liu, what should we do now? I saw that the soldiers were listless. Should I rest on the spot for another day today?"

Liu Fu shook his head, "Criminal, now we are attacking Yingzhou, taking advantage of the court's failure to react. After taking Yingzhou, we will create a fait accompli, and if we offer more money to the emperor, Yingzhou will be likely to be assigned to our Nanping. Of course, if the emperor still firmly opposes at that time, we can also use the people to plunder money and have a great retreat with a bumper harvest. If we want to do this, we must hurry up. If we stay here again today, the enemy may still attack that night, and the time will be delayed longer and longer. Anyway, we are still thirty miles away from Yingzhou now, so why not build a camp at the city and wait until tomorrow to attack the city. What do you think?"

Gao Baoxun nodded repeatedly, "General Liu, you listen to you. You watched me grow up, just like my uncle. You can just make decisions on these things yourself. I will come out of Jiangling for some time this time, and you have the final say in the military affairs."

Liu Fu was very pleased. Seeing that his trusted guards were all around him, he took a small step forward and whispered to Gao Baoxun: "Criminal, you and the second young master will join the army to fight in this attack. Will the second young master have an additional impact on you? Also, the third young master and others stayed by the king's side, they will not slander them, right?"

Gao Baoxun knew that Liu Fu was his hard-core supporter, so he dared to tell him some heart-wrenching words. Gao Baoxun also lowered his voice, "Whether the second brother can have an impact depends on how the battle report is written. Fan Tong is your trusted subordinate. I believe he will listen to you. After my father learned that the second brother was careless, the second brother's impression on his father would definitely be reduced a lot. As for the third brother and the others, I have other arrangements... In this way, let's get in the account and talk."

So Gao Baoxun and Liu Fu entered the tent and ordered the personal guards to carefully watch the door and prohibit anyone from entering. Then Gao Baoxun approached Liu Fu and whispered: "I have a supporter, who is on the surface a hardcore supporter of the third brother. When we set off, I asked him to report to my father later to escort the military rations for our army. The third brother is well-known for his literary reputation, but his military affairs are lacking. He will definitely not let go of this opportunity and will definitely strive for it. When they escort the military rations to Yingzhou, if there is an enemy attack and the food and grass is burned, the third brother will definitely be hit. As long as we are hungry for a day or two, we can exchange for the father's disgust of the third brother. This is a chaotic world. How can those who can't fight inherit the throne?"

Liu Fu was shocked and didn't realize that the prince was so scheming that he actually came up with such a conspiracy; but he was immediately overjoyed that such a prince could protect the Nanping Kingdom in this chaotic era.

Liu Fu thought for a while and whispered: "I wonder if the prince has done a detailed job in Fuzhou? Fuzhou is between Jiangling and Yingzhou. Moreover, Wang Yanchao did not send troops rashly this time, maybe he was just robbing our food and road! If the third young master personally escorted the food and grass, Fuzhou would definitely not miss this opportunity to make meritorious contributions. We just need to prepare more food and strive to take Yingzhou before leaking the news. Even if the food and road were robbed at that time, it would not have much impact on the army!"
