Chapter 011: Lu Xun pointed to Jiang and swore to serve Liu Wu as his master!
Above the river, the smoke is vast, the cold wind is biting, and the morning star and the waning moon are reflected on the vast river surface.

wow~
Amid the surging waves, large numbers of densely packed rafts carrying soldiers, under the cover of darkness before dawn, silently crossed the river to the north.

Eight hundred soldiers set out in battle formation, and two thousand veteran soldiers listened to the whistling river wind and tightly grasped their spears.

On the leading raft, Liu Wu stood with his eyes slightly closed, holding a spear facing the river breeze.

Lu Xun, standing behind Liu Wu, looked at the faint outline of the city on the opposite bank through the river fog, feeling uneasy.

That is Xiling City, where Cao's army is based. This thief is sneaking across the river to the north. Could it be...

Sun Shangxiang, who was standing aside, secretly looked at the back of the man holding the halberd in front of her, and recalled the scene in the daytime when her chin was hooked.

Her face flushed. She was going to marry Uncle Liu. How could this man be so rude? !
Thinking of Uncle Liu, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but whisper to Lu Xun: "I heard that Uncle Liu is nearly five years old and looks quite old. Is that true?"

Lu Xun looked strange: "Uncle Liu is already 48 years old this year, and he has been traveling around for many years. How can his face not be old?"

Thinking that the hero she was going to marry was an old man, Sun Shangxiang suddenly felt a little lost. She instinctively argued for Liu Bei: "Although the Emperor Liu is old, he is a hero of the world."

"Three heroes fighting Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass, how majestic!"

Lu Xun sneered, "Three heroes fighting Lu Bu? If Liu Bei had not joined the battle at Hulao Pass, Lu Fengxian would have been killed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."

Lu Xun's words were full of contempt for Liu Bei.

The heroic halo of Liu Bei in Sun Shangxiang's heart was instantly shattered. Without the blessing of the word "hero", Uncle Liu was just an old man.

So I'm going to marry an old man?

Sun Shangxiang was filled with disappointment, and subconsciously glanced at the back of the man holding the halberd again.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Wu's faint voice sounded.

Sun Shangxiang's face turned redder and she immediately changed the subject: "Jiangbei is Cao Cao's territory. You robbed us across the river. Are you a general of Cao's army?"

Before Sun Shangxiang finished her words, Lu Xun spoke in a deep voice: "My princess, you are thinking wrongly. If he is really a general of Cao's army, he can just cross the river by boat openly. Why would he take advantage of the night and fog to sneak across on a raft?"

"I see that his soldiers are all elite and well-armored. When he kidnapped the relatives, he came from the direction of Gong'an City..."

"I'm afraid... he is a traitor under Uncle Liu's command!"

Was he kidnapped by a rebel general under Uncle Liu?
Sun Shangxiang was completely stunned.

Liu Wu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Lu Xun is worthy of being the future powerful official of Wu State. He guessed my background so quickly!

Lu Xun's voice continued, as if he was speaking to Sun Shangxiang, or to Liu Wu: "I'm afraid he crossed the river this time to take advantage of Cao Cao's defeat and go to Jiangbei to take advantage of him."

"But he doesn't know that although Cao Cao was defeated, it doesn't mean that Cao Cao's forces in Jiangbei can be bullied by everyone! Otherwise, how could the Sun-Liu coalition tolerate Cao Cao's forces to exist in Jingzhou until now?"

"Just talking about Xiling City across the river, the garrison commander is the former Jingzhou surrendered general, Wen Pin and Wen Zhongye. There are also 5,000 soldiers stationed in the city, with countless food, fodder, and weapons!"

boom! ~
"You mean, I can't take over Xiling City?" The waves on the river were surging and deafening, but they still couldn't suppress Liu Wu's voice.

Lu Xun finally turned around and looked at Liu Wu's back: "It is not uncommon to defeat the majority with the minority and the strong with the weak."

"I, the Grand Commander of the Eastern Wu, Zhou Gongjin, defeated Cao Cao's 800,000 violent troops with only 50,000 soldiers on this great river! But please think carefully..."

"Can your ability really be compared with Zhou Gongjin?"

Zhou Yu...

Liu Wu's thoughts have been drawn by this name.

When Sun and Liu formed an alliance, Zhuge Liang personally went to Jiangdong to plan the Battle of Chibi.

Liu Bei secretly sent Liu Wu to Jiangdong to protect Zhuge Liang. At that time, every time Zhuge Liang discussed matters with Zhou Yu, Liu Wu also secretly protected Zhuge Liang...

call! ~
The cold wind on the river pulled Liu Wu back to his senses. He turned slowly and walked towards Lu Xun step by step. The mountain-like oppression almost made Lu Xun breathless.

He was worried, wondering if he had angered the evil general just now.
"How do you know that I am not as cautious as Zhou Gong?" Liu Wu's voice sounded calmly, "How do you know that I can't take down Xiling City tonight?"

what did he say?
How dare he compare himself with Grand Commander Gongjin? !

"Ha, ha ha ha..." Lu Xun laughed so heartily that he no longer cared about his fear of Liu Wu.

He seemed to have seen the funniest thing in the world: "Since you dare to compare yourself to Grand Commander Gongjin, then Lu Xun will make a bet with you!"

"As long as you can capture Xiling City, I, Lu Xun, will serve you as my master!"

Liu Wu said calmly: "No evidence."

Lu Xun waved his sleeves and pointed at the vast river: "I am willing to swear on the river that if you can take down Xiling City ahead, I, Lu Xun, will serve you as my master!"

Liu Wu nodded gently: "Very good."

……

Da Da Da~
On the south bank of the river, several riders on fast horses were galloping along the river.

The leader is none other than Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, the leader of the Twelve Tiger Ministers of the Eastern Wu!

Since receiving the mission to find Sun Shangxiang, Gan Ning traveled light and only brought his trusted aide Qu to the place where Sun Shangxiang was kidnapped.

He deployed his personal guards and scouts far and wide, and checked almost every clue within a ten-mile radius, but the more he checked, the more frightened he became.

All the traces left by that group of soldiers showed that they were extremely rare elite veterans. In the territory of Jingzhou, besides the Sun and Liu families, Cao Cao was the only one left who could command such an elite force!

Gan Ning reined in his horse and stood still, brows furrowed. Could it be that Cao's men really had kidnapped the princess?
But what would be the use even if Cao Cao kidnapped the princess?

Could it be that he wanted to shake the Sun-Liu alliance?
"General!"

The leader of the personal guards rode up to Gan Ning and said, "There is a big river ahead. The enemy's tracks end here."

"In addition, the brothers also found a lot of signs of logging in the woods near the river."

The enemy troops are cutting down trees by the river?
What on earth are these people trying to do?
Gan Ning looked confused and did not understand the other party's intentions at all.

At this moment, the leader of the guards suddenly pointed at the river and shouted, "General, there are people on the river!"

At this time, the sky was faintly white, and the fog on the river had dissipated a lot.

Looking from the south bank of the river, a dark shadow was undulating on the river, drifting towards the other side.

That is……

Gan Ning stared at the river in astonishment, then suddenly realized, "It's the bandits who kidnapped the princess! They're trying to sneak across the river to the north!"

It is impossible that it was Cao's army that kidnapped the princess, otherwise they could have crossed the river openly by boat. Why would they have to sneak across the river to the north in the thick fog at night?

If they are not Cao the thief, then who could these people be?

Xiling City is across the river. Are they planning to launch a surprise attack on Xiling?

But the one stationed in Xiling is General Wen Pin, so wouldn’t they be sending themselves to die with such a small number of men?

Countless questions flashed through Gan Ning's mind, but they were not important now. What was important was that he finally found Sun Shangxiang's trace!

Gan Ning gave the order without hesitation: "Cut the wood and build a raft!"

"Cross the river and catch up!!"
