Zu Yue paralyzed them, and they also paralyzed Zu Yue.

So by the time Zu Yue started the incident, the main force of the Jin army had already arrived at Chaohu. By the time Xu Liu went south, Liyang Water and Land Commander Lu Wan had already arrived at Hefei, and the vanguards of both sides collided head-on.

Zhang Shuo decided to go south to Chengde and fight with the main force of the Prussian army on land and water. It was quite risky because his retreat was unstable.

But Shao Xun didn't stop him.

As the saying goes, there is no need for Zhang Shuo to write this self-clarifying letter if he is not going to accept the fate of the emperor.

What's the use?

If you escape alone and escape back to Huaibei, you should be beheaded anyway. As the governor, you have full power and full responsibility. It is impossible for you to have been vaccinated in advance and not be held accountable.

Shao Xun is not very clear about the current course of the war.

He even suspected that the navy had been completely wiped out, which was a difficult problem.

Therefore, today he decided to reply to Zhang Shuo with a letter, which was drafted by Secretary Lu Chen.

"A few key points. First, repair the Ershi Mountain City and Water Village to accommodate the navy's garrison."

This is actually to give the navy a place to avoid war and create a fleet.

Although the existence of a fleet is always laughed at, it is not useless. Combined with water fortresses, wooden piles and even iron cables, a channel can be barely maintained to communicate between the north and the south.

But this cannot be accomplished in a short time, it will take at least several months.

"Secondly, if we can control Shaopei, we will repair the Pochi. If we can't, we will seize fertile farmland as much as possible. I will send Hu Han and Dingzhuang to farm the fields."

Farming is a must, because even if there is a water fortress, it may still be destroyed and the north and south will be cut off again when the navy's combat power is far inferior to that of Jiangdong.

In other words, crossing the river from Henan to attack Huainan often only has a window of a few months, and the continuous capability is insufficient. If grain can be collected in Huainan, this dilemma can be greatly alleviated, and the Jiangdong Navy will not even come over by then.

Because it's of little use.

"Third, take good care of the ancestral soldiers and don't let them run away."

Zhang Shuo came to report that Zu Huan led 3,000 men eastward to collect the counties. Halfway through, the army made a noise and dispersed half of the men.

Where did these people go? Of course they ran back to Xuzhou to reunite with their families.

Most of the remaining soldiers and horses in Zu Yue's hands are also mentally unstable and must be guarded against.

"Fourth, if there is a major epidemic, don't force it, do what you can."

"Fifth, don't kill and surrender."

"Sixth, withdraw the proton troops. Too many of them have died."

"That's all. You will consider your words and polish them yourself, and send them out as soon as you finish them."

"I obey your order," Lu Chen responded.

Shao Xun nodded, then stood in front of the map and looked carefully at the Yinshan Mountains that stretched from east to west.
