Chapter 102: Too Brutal! Sun Quan was frightened by Liu Wu!
Chapter 102: Too Brutal! Sun Quan was frightened by Liu Wu and trembled!
Liu Wu bowed to his lord?!
What is the lord talking about?
Zhuge Liang was stunned at this moment: "My Lord, the eldest son's letter..."

Liu Bei directly stuffed the letter into Zhuge Liang's hands and said, "Military Advisor, please take a look. Even though the rebellious son is rampant, the Sun-Liu coalition is powerful after all. He will also be afraid sometimes!"

Zhuge Liang took the silk letter, took a glance at it, and then he was stunned.

The eldest son actually took the initiative to invite the master to cross the river for a chat? !

"Huh~" Liu Bei took a deep breath, as if he wanted to let out all the humiliation he had suffered because of Liu Wu during this period of time.

"I won, I won after all!" At this moment, Liu Xuande's face was full of vigor and vitality. Compared with the low and resentful look when he just got off the boat, he was almost a different person.

He thought he had completely seen through Liu Wu's plan...

The little beast said something in the letter about crossing the river to have a talk, but in fact he was just begging for mercy, he just couldn't bring himself to bend down.

Liu Wu was not stupid. How long had he been in control of the Jiangbei area? Even if he could recruit a large number of new soldiers, how many of them could go into battle and kill the enemy in such a short period of time?
How much food does he have in his treasury to sustain this war?

It was precisely because Liu Wu knew all this that he bowed to me!

He begged for mercy!
being so,

Considering the relationship between father and son, I may allow him to return to Gong'an City, and the territories under his command will naturally come back with him!
Jiangling, Xiling and Hefei, these three important places finally fell into the hands of Liu Xuande. Whether he was looking north to the Central Plains, west to Bashu, or even eyeing Jiangdong, it was no longer an empty talk!
And the land of more than 30 counties that are hundreds of miles long and thousands of miles wide must now belong to him!
Adding the original four counties in southern Jing, his territory would soon span both sides of the river...

He no longer needs to join forces with Jiangdong.

Liu Xuande can take over all the land north of the Yangtze River without losing a single soldier!

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more beautiful it became. The burning heat in his eyes almost solidified into substance...

"I am who I am. Older people are more experienced." A trace of complacency flashed across Liu Bei's old face, and then he began to ponder how he should treat Liu Wu.

"This time when that little beast comes back, I will definitely comfort him and never let him run around again!"

"And the Princess Jiangdong..." Thinking of Princess Jiangdong, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "After all, it's the Emperor who granted the marriage, so I can't offend him."

"Well, let's give the Jiangdong Princess to Liu Wu as his wife... Military Advisor, what do you think of my arrangement?"

Liu Bei was now refreshed.

Not only did he not bear grudges, he also saved Liu Wu from danger and even gave the Princess Jiangdong, which originally belonged to him, to Liu Wu. After this rebellious son found out, shouldn't he be grateful to him?

"My lord..." Zhuge Liang's voice woke Liu Bei from his sweet dream: "There is something strange about this matter."

"Is there something strange?" Liu Bei was startled, then he burst out laughing: "Military Advisor, you are worrying too much. This little beast will not trick me across the river and commit such a heinous act as patricide, right?"

Patricide?

If Liu Wu dared to do this, he would have no place to stay in the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang laughed bitterly: "Although the eldest son has a deep mind, he will not do such a stupid thing."

Kong Ming recognized Liu Wu's handwriting, so there was naturally no problem with the letter.

just,

But given the eldest prince's temperament, would he really surrender and bow down to his lord?
Zhuge Liang looked at the silk letter in his hand and fell into silence.

Looking at the silent strategist Wulong, the excitement on Liu Bei's face slowly faded away.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart. Kong Ming was always wise, but even he was not sure about this matter. Could it be that Liu Wu had really set a trap for him?
Liu Bei hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "If you think this is strange, then I will not go."

After going through so many things, Liu Bei naturally learned a lesson and it was definitely right to listen to Kong Ming!
"No!" Kong Ming immediately shook his head: "We still have to go. This is the eldest son's conspiracy. If the lord does not go..."

No one can guarantee whether the eldest son's statement of surrendering to Cao is a threat or the truth.

What if the lord does not go and Liu Wu really surrenders to Cao Cao? At that time, the enemy of the Sun-Liu coalition will become the combination of Liu Wu and Cao Cao. Wouldn't that be counterproductive?
After receiving the final advice from Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's originally tense heart suddenly calmed down.

Liu Bei did not hesitate any longer and immediately issued an order: "Turn the boats around and prepare to cross the river!"

Kong Ming was still worried: "My lord, just in case, don't forget to bring Yunchang and Yide with you."

Liu Bei: "Of course, let Liu Wu meet his second uncle and third uncle..."

"Yunchang and Yide have been talking about their nephew in front of me every day these days. This is just the right time to reunite them..."

……

On top of the north gate of Jiangling,
A general with a face as red as a date,
Eyes like bright stars,

Standing in armor and holding a sword.

It was none other than the current commander of Jiangling, Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang.

Wei Yan stood facing north, his eyes as sharp as arrows, staring intently at the land in the distance. Mr. Fengchu had already told him that today he, Wei Wenchang, had an important task to shoulder, which concerned the survival of Zilie's foundation!
Don’t neglect…

At this time, north of Jiangling,
The yellow dust on the ground rolled like a dragon, rising into the sky!

Heading straight towards Jiangling City...

That means Cao Mengde's army is approaching.

Wei Yan's eyes sparkled: "Here it comes!"

……

Wow! ~
Outside Jiangling City, on the banks of the river, the waves are surging.

The river was shrouded in mist, a vast expanse of white, filling both sides of the river.

Fengchu Pang Tong stood on the shore,

Bang! ~
He uncorked the wine gourd, tilted his head back and took a gulp.

Looking up, I saw Gong'an City on the other side of the river.

Feng Chu recalled that not long ago, he was invited by his good disciple to the other side of the river. It was here that he boarded the luxurious carriage. On the way, he looked back at Gong'an City on the other side of the river...

Unexpectedly, Pang Shiyuan was standing here again. Although he was standing in the same place, his state of mind was completely different these times. It felt like a lifetime ago.

Pang Tong stared blankly at the Gong'an City on the opposite bank, raised the wine gourd in his hand, and poured the wine into the river.

Patter~
The clear wine fell into the river and flowed eastward.

Feng Chu said softly: "Cheers to Uncle Liu..."

……

Jiangdong,

At Jianye Wharf, the sound of drums and music never ceases.

Hundreds of men and women dressed in brocade clothes, holding ceremonial weapons, and guarding carriages and horses gathered at the dock.

The young man in the lead was quite strong. He was Sun Shao, the eldest son of Sun Ce, the first ruler of Jiangdong.

After Sun Ce, Sun Shao should have succeeded to the throne as the lord of Jiangdong. However, before his death, Sun Ce was worried about the young ruler and the country being in turmoil, so he passed the throne directly to his second brother Sun Quan.

Over the years, Sun Quan showed concern for his nephew in various ways, but in fact he was gradually moving him away from the center of power.

When matters were being discussed in the main hall, although Sun Shao's seat was at the back at first, he managed to keep it.

But now, Sun Shao is no longer qualified to go to the palace. Although he still has an official title, he can only do insignificant things that are more symbolic than real power.

Just like today, Sun Shao replaced Sun Quan to welcome Jiangdong's new son-in-law, Liu Wu of Xiling.

Even though Sun Shao was extremely unwilling, he had no room to refuse.

suddenly,

A large black shadow appeared on the surface of the river.

The black shadows were getting closer and closer, and the people on the shore finally saw clearly that it was a huge fleet!

But I saw many boats gathering,

The sails are like clouds!

Hundreds of boats sailed across the vast river.

The river was turbulent, but as the fleet approached, the sea gradually returned to calm.

Wow! ~
The dense fleet stopped in front of the dock.

Hundreds of people on the shore were overwhelmed by the other side's momentum, and for a moment even the sound of drums and music stopped.

It is said that Liu Zilie has only occupied Jiangbei for a short time. Where did he get so many navy officers?
At this moment,

On the bow of the leading ship, two figures stood side by side. They were Liu Wu and Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shao was still in a daze when someone reminded him quietly, "Shao, the princess and her new husband are here."

Sun Shao suddenly woke up, and he waved his hand quickly.
The drums and music that had stopped started up again. Then the longboard was lowered.

Sun Shao led several followers and personally carried drinks and boarded the ship.

The eldest son of Sun Ce respectfully held the wine in his hand and stood in front of Liu Wu and Sun Shangxiang. "Sun Shao is here on the orders of the Marquis of Wu to welcome the princess and her new husband. Please drink some wine to welcome her back to heaven..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.

Snapped! ~
The thick and long horsewhip was lashed towards Sun Shao fiercely.

The lacquer tray holding the wine was knocked to the ground!
The sudden change caused Sun Shao to retreat in a hurry.

"Where is my second brother?!" Sun Shangxiang raised her horse whip high, her eyebrows raised, her eyes wide open: "Why is it you, a junior, who came to greet him? Why didn't my second brother come to greet him himself?!"

"We welcomed Liu Xuande when he came."

"Zi Lie is here now, why can't we welcome him?!"

Snapped! ~
Snapped! ~
Snapped! ~
Sun Shangxiang's pretty face turned red with anger, and she swung the whip in her hand like raindrops.

Wow…

One by one, the welcoming ceremonial flags were pulled down.
Pah pah pah!! ~
The whip was still lashing, Sun Shangxiang was really angry this time!

Liu Wu is now a local lord after all, but his second brother sent a junior to greet him. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to disrespect Liu Wu and even his sister!
The more Sun Shangxiang thought about it, the angrier she became. No matter how Sun Shao tried to try to stop her, she never stopped whipping the horsewhip.

The field was already in chaos.

"Aunt, aunt! It's none of my business..." Sun Shao dodged hurriedly while explaining hastily: "This is what Marquis Wu meant! It's my second uncle's idea! You..."

Snapped! ~
In a moment of carelessness, the whip hit Sun Shao.

"You, ah! You can't do this..."

It would have been fine if Sun Quan wasn't mentioned. As soon as Sun Quan was mentioned, Sun Shangxiang became even more angry: "You are afraid of your second uncle, but aren't you afraid of me, your aunt?!"

"Stop!" Suddenly, a majestic voice came from behind the hundreds of ceremonial guards on the shore.

In an instant,

The people on the shore hurriedly separated to both sides...

A man with blue eyes and purple beard, dressed in a brocade robe, strode to the front of the boat with a sword in hand: "Just because you went to Xiling, have you become so arrogant?!"

The person who came was none other than Sun Quan, Marquis of Wu.

"Second brother!"

Sun Shangxiang looked at the familiar figure under the boat, subconsciously threw away the whip in her hand, and quickly hid behind Liu Wu.

When Sun Jian and Sun Ce were fighting outside, it was Sun Quan who took care of his younger sister on behalf of his father and brother. Although he also doted on Sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan also taught his younger sister a lot.

Over the years, Sun Quan has accumulated considerable prestige in Sun Shangxiang's heart.

Sun Quan looked at the scattered ceremonial guards and the mess on the ground. His face was extremely ugly...

There was also Sun Shao who was accidentally hit by a whip and injured...

Although he was usually suspicious of his nephew, Sun Shao came to welcome Liu Wu and Sun Shangxiang on his behalf.

The one who was slapped was not Sun Shao, but Sun Zhongmou's face!
Sun Quan turned his deep gaze to the young man next to his younger sister.

The other person's pair of bright eyes came towards him.

Is this person Liu Wu?

Even though Sun Quan knew that Liu Wu was young, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment. The other party was really too young.

At such an age,

This forced Cao Cao to cede land and occupy Jiangbei!
This forced Jiangdong and Liu Bei to join forces to deal with him!
He easily captured Hefei, an important place overlooking the Central Plains from the north of Jiangbei!

Is Jiang Dong’s current opponent the young man in front of him?

Sun Zhongmou's heart was in turmoil, but he still stared at Liu Wu coldly: "I, the Lord of Jiangdong, have arrived, why don't you get off the boat?!"

Faced with the questioning from the Lord of Jiangdong, Liu Wu looked indifferent and said nothing.

at this time,

A personal guard held a stool and placed it beside Liu Wu. Liu Wu sat down slowly in front of Sun Quan in full view of everyone...

In an instant, everyone in Jiangdong fell silent.

Sun Shao seemed to have forgotten the pain in his body. He stared blankly at his uncle in front of him, completely dumbfounded.

My second uncle is the lord of the six counties and eighty-one states in Jiangdong!
How dare Liu Zilie be so rampant in front of his second uncle?
On the shore, all the people who came to greet Liu Wu and Sun Shangxiang lowered their heads desperately. They did not dare to look at the scene in front of them, for fear of angering the Marquis of Wu.

Sun Quan looked at the scene in front of him with a face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Since he took charge of Jiangdong, has anyone ever dared to be so rude to him?!
Even if it was this kid's biological father, Liu Da'er, he would have to bow and greet him properly when he saw him, but Liu Wu actually dared...

"How dare you!" Sun Quan tightly gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and looked at Liu Wu with a murderous look: "Even if it was your father Liu Xuande, he wouldn't dare to be so reckless in front of me!"

Liu Wu: "The former Lord of Jiangdong would not dare to speak to me like this..."

Liu Wu's voice was very calm.

But the people on the shore who heard this were already trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

Sun Quan's purple beard rose and fell, and his anger almost exploded in his chest.

But he knew that Liu Zilie was not a liar.

After all, we are old friends from Shentingling.

Back then, this man was able to suppress the Twelve Generals of Jiangdong by himself! Even at the peak of his combat power, his elder brother, who was known as the Little Overlord, could not do this.

If Sun Ce were still alive, he would definitely be polite to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu's voice continued: "Besides, I, Liu Zilie, built my foundation by myself, and it has nothing to do with Liu Xuande..."

He, is he mocking himself for just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor?

boom! ~
The burning anger instantly burned through Sun Quan's crown.

Every word Liu Wu said stabbed Sun Quan in the heart...

Sun Zhongmou finally broke through his defense. His blue eyes were filled with coldness: "Did you cross the river just to humiliate Jiangdong?"

"If that's the case, please go back!"

The words fell,

Liu Wu finally took action. He stood up and walked forward...

Tap tap tap~
Liu Wu slowly got off the boat along the long wooden board and stepped onto the land of the six counties of Jiangdong.

Step~
Step~
Step~
There was total silence on the shore, with only the whistling sound of the river wind and the steady footsteps of Liu Wu.

He approached Sun Quan step by step.

Sun Quan straightened his back, looked directly at Liu Wu, and did not take a single step back.

Liu Wu is getting closer and closer.
Those bright eyes suddenly made Sun Quan dazed...

There seemed to be mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as swords and horses!

One man and one horse charged into the crowd of thousands of soldiers, with blood and flesh paving the road and corpses forming mountains!

too,
Too cruel...

Sun Quan's mouth and nose seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood and rust, which was an experience he had never had before!

The closer Liu Wu got to him, the stronger the smell became.

Sun Quan's face gradually turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his neck.

Six steps!

Five steps!

Three steps!!
Liu Wu was only one step away from Sun Quan, and the body of Jiangdong Wu Hou had already begun to tremble.

step!!!
pat~
Sun Quan's face turned pale as paper, and he finally took a step back trembling.

Liu Wu finally stopped in front of Sun Zhongmou. He cupped his hands and bowed slightly to Sun Quan, his voice as calm as ever: "Zi Lie, hello, uncle..."
