Chapter 112: Uncle Liu! Liu Wu is coming! We can’t hold on! The military advisor wants you to enter Shu!

Chapter 112: My Lord! Jingzhou can no longer be defended! The military advisor asks you to enter Shu!

Wow~
The river is mighty,

The cold wind howled.

On the vast river, several large ships are sailing slowly with their sails billowing.

"Damn it! This trip to Jiangling was really thrilling. Where did the damn thief Cao deploy so many reinforcements..." On the bow of the ship, Uncle Zhang San, who escaped death, couldn't help but curse.

Even Mr. Zhang San couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he thought of the scene on the shore where hundreds of Cao's cavalry rushed towards the four of them.

If these ships had not arrived in time, even if Zhang Yide wanted to protect his brother and break out of the siege, it would not be so easy.

The front of the bow,

Listening to Zhang Fei's scolding, Liu Huangshu said nothing. Facing the rolling waves of the river, his face was grim: "Liu Wu..."

At this point, is there anything that Emperor Liu still doesn't understand?

I was fooled!
I was fooled by that little beast Liu Wu... No, not only me, but also Cao Mengde!

Then Cao Mengde must have been deceived by Liu Wu.

What about surrendering to me and bowing down? This was all the conspiracy of that little beast. He just wanted to trick me into Jiangling and make me fight with Cao Mengde.

Wait until he and Cao Mengde are both defeated and killed, and then he will come out to clean up the mess and gain the benefits!
What a courage, what a vicious plan!

Emperor Liu took a deep breath, and the cold wind from the river temporarily suppressed his anger: "Liu Wu, that little beast, when I return to the Public Security Bureau, I will contact Jiangdong to take action!"

"I will make him pay the price for what happened in Jiang Ling!"

"My lord." As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, the strong general who pulled him aboard spoke directly: "I'm afraid we can't go back to Gong'an City..."

"When I come here, the military advisor will ask me to tell you that you can only change your route and go to Yizhou and then Bashu!"

Enter, enter Bashu? ! !

in an instant,
There was silence on the bow.

Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and Mi Fang were shocked and stared in amazement. They almost suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

Liu Xuande suddenly turned around and looked at the strong general: "You, what did you say?"

General Kong Wu said calmly, "I heard that Gong'an can't go back. The military advisor asked me to escort the lord into Bashu."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Zhang Fei was the first to react, his eyes widened: "What kind of place is Bashu? Can we get out if we go in?"

"What's the use of us going to Bashu?"

"Why are you leaving Gong'an City and going to Bashu... How could the military advisor have such a plan? Are you someone else's spy?!"

The strong general looked helpless: "My lord, generals, you don't know..."

"The eldest son Liu Wu has led Cao's army southward..."

"Jiangdong has also sent troops to Jingnan. Jiangxia has already been captured..."

"My lord, you just came out of Jiangling. Jiangling fell into the hands of Cao Cao. My lord, you should know..."

"Two armies are attacking, the situation in Jingnan is hopeless! It's as dangerous as an egg!"

boom! ~
For a moment, Liu Bei felt as if his heart was hit hard, and his head was buzzing.

No wonder,
No wonder Cao Mengde suddenly went south for the third time. He did not come to convey Liu Wu's decree. Instead, Liu Wu lured him here to divide the two sides of the Yangtze River!
No wonder Liu Wu wanted to trick Cao Mengde into Jiangling City!
It must be that seeing Cao Mengde reoccupy Jiangbei, Liu Wu was unwilling to accept this, so he took the risk and tried to get rid of Cao Mengde by himself!

This……

wrong!

"This is impossible!" Liu Bei's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty: "I have an agreement with the Marquis of Wu. The two families will send troops together to attack Liu Wu!"

How many days have passed since I met Sun Quan?

Jiangdong can't just send me away and then start a war with me, right?
This is really ridiculous!

Sun Quan already knew the relationship between Liu Wu and himself, so how could the Marquis of Wu trust Liu Wu?

What's more, the city of Hefei, which Jiangdong had long dreamed of, was in Liu Wu's hands.

How can they attack Hefei?
Could it be that Liu Wu was expected to give it to him?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei was suddenly stunned: "Could it be that Liu Wu really gave Hefei to Jiangdong?"

Apart from this reason, Liu Bei really couldn't think of any reason that could prompt Jiangdong and Liu Wu to join forces.

The strong general laughed bitterly: "The eldest son, he married into the Jiangdong family."

Liu Wu married into Jiangdong and became Jiangdong's son-in-law? ! !
General Kong Wu's voice was calm, but it was like a thunderbolt exploding in everyone's ears.

Liu Xuande's hands began to tremble under his sleeves, and his face became uglier...

What is a son-in-law?

Because he marries the daughter of the host family, he is called "son-in-law"!
A poor man was held hostage in a rich family, and was unable to redeem himself after the deadline, so he was taken in as a son-in-law!
In the past, when Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han recruited soldiers to guard the border, sons-in-law were the main targets of the recruitment because they were lowly enough...

The Qin Dynasty even came up with the idea of ​​"Seven Categories of Exile", which stipulated seven types of people who could be conscripted into the army when necessary. When the court needed them, they would be conscripted in order.

Among these seven types of people, the son-in-law ranks third, only after the officials who have committed crimes and the fugitives who have escaped!
now,

Liu Xuande is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, and the well-known descendant of the Empress of Han...

As a result, his own son also became a son-in-law? ! !
For a time,

Liu Huangshu's voice was trembling: "Asshole! You have no king and no father, you have abandoned your country and your family! What a disgrace! You have humiliated our ancestors!"

"How dare this little bastard, how dare he become a son-in-law?! He has brought shame upon our Han ancestors!"

"How dare he? How dare he!!"

Above the great river, Uncle Liu’s angry rebukes echoed everywhere.

My dear son,
Did he, did he really marry into Jiangdong's family?
Everyone was still in shock at the news and was speechless.

suddenly,

Zhang Fei, with his tower-like figure, suddenly strode forward, grabbed the collar of the mighty general and yelled, "Bullshit!"

"My nephew has always hated Cao Cao and has always been irreconcilable with him. How could he possibly lead Cao Cao southward?"

"Besides, my nephew is a hero and a real man! How could he possibly become a son-in-law?"

"Where did you hear these rumors? How dare you lie in front of my brother?"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, your Third Master will poke ten thousand transparent holes in your body!"

Zhang Fei's iron beard stands upright!

He wished he could eat the person in front of him alive!
My nephew is a proud man and would never do such a despicable and shameless thing. This person must be throwing dirty water on Liu Wu.

"Third General..." The general who was grabbed by the collar by Zhang Yide said in a steady voice, "It's really because the lord has joined forces with Jiangdong this time and forced the eldest master into a corner!"

"Before this, the eldest son had only occupied Jiangbei for a short time, and he only had combat soldiers under his command. He had very little food and grass. Once the Sun-Liu coalition forces captured Jiangbei, the eldest son would be doomed..."

"Under no other circumstances, the eldest master has no choice but to fight to the death!"

"Now the Sun and Cao families are about to divide the two sides of the Yangtze River. Jingnan is in danger, and Gong'an is in danger! My lord is responsible for the restoration of the Han Dynasty. How can you step into danger?"

"The only plan now is to enter Bashu first and plan major events..." The strong general said this sincerely, with his face full of concern for Uncle Liu.

Everyone was silent, except Chen Dao, who was staring at the mighty general. His eyes flickered slightly. He wanted to say something, but seeing Uncle Liu who was silent again, he closed his mouth.

call! ~
The river breeze blew up the white sails on the boat and also disturbed Liu Bei's mood.

now,

The anger on Liu Xuande's face slowly faded away, and his face became as gloomy as water.

a long time,

Liu Huangshu then slowly spoke: "Bashu is a fertile land with abundant resources and a prosperous population, but the roads leading to Shu are difficult to travel and the passes are dangerous... Even if Liu Zhang, the ruler of Bashu, is incompetent, what can we do with just five hundred people entering Shu?"

"Besides, did the military advisor say when he would come?"

"For such a big event as entering Shu, it would be difficult to accomplish without a military advisor to plan ahead."

General Kong Wu said: "Military Advisor, does the lord still remember Zhang Song and Fa Zheng?"

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng?
Liu Bei was stunned, his thoughts surging...

After the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Song, the deputy governor of Yizhou, went to Xuchang to pay homage to Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, he was treated with contempt by Cao Cao and kicked out of Xuchang.

Zhang Song was on his way back to Yizhou in frustration, but was invited to Jingnan by Liu Wu.

When Liu Bei first saw Zhang Song's vulgar words and deeds, he looked down on him. It was Liu Wu who urged Liu Bei that if he wanted to realize Zhuge Liang's strategy of dividing the world into three parts, he must have Zhang Song's main force.

Only then did Emperor Liu Bei befriend Zhang Song. Unexpectedly, Zhang Song was so moved by Liu Bei's attitude of respecting talents that he directly presented him with the map of Bashu and even stated that he was willing to be Liu Bei's internal support and help him conquer Bashu.

Zhang Song returned to Yizhou and, following the suggestion in Liu Wu's letter, he urged Liu Zhang to make peace with Liu Bei and recommended Fa Zheng, the military advisor, to be sent as an envoy to Jingnan.

After Fa Zheng arrived in Jingnan, Liu Bei, under the arrangement of Liu Wu, received him with kindness and treated him with great hospitality.

Liu Wu's behind-the-scenes manipulation made Fa Zheng think that Liu Bei had great talent and was a wise leader who could be assisted. After returning to Yizhou, he conspired with Zhang Song to make plans, and from then on, he secretly served Liu Bei as his leader...

The voice of the strong general interrupted Liu Bei's thoughts: "The military advisor once said that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng are both famous scholars in Bashu and hold high positions. They are highly trusted by Liu Zhang. With these two as internal support, it will not be difficult to conquer Bashu."

"As for when the military advisor will arrive..."

"The military advisor once said that Sun and Cao are coming aggressively. The military advisor must hold off the two in Gong'an for a while to stop them from marching south. When the time is right, he will bring the food and soldiers from southern Jing to help the lord."

Zhang Yide was annoyed: "What do you mean by entering Bashu? When did the military advisor ever say such a thing? How could I not remember it? Don't..."

"Wide!"

Liu Huangshu interrupted Zhang Fei's complaint with a low shout: "You have never heard the military advisor mention it, but the military advisor has mentioned it to me more than once..."

"Back in Longzhong, the military advisor mentioned the plan of [conquering Jing and Yi, protecting the mountainous areas, making peace with the barbarians in the west, and pacifying the Yi and Yue in the south]. Previously, we captured Jiangling in order to advance into Bashu."

"This must be the instruction from Zhuge Military Advisor, Yide, please stop talking nonsense!"

Faced with the scolding from his elder brother, Zhang Fei felt very aggrieved!

He couldn't understand, if they really took over Bashu, would the four counties in southern Jing that they had worked so hard to manage really be abandoned?
Zhang Fei wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Liu Bei's stern look.

"I... okay, okay! Big brother wants to go to Bashu, and I, Old Zhang, will accompany you!" Zhang Fei turned around with an angry look on his face and entered the cabin.

Afterwards, the strong general of the 500 soldiers and the others also retreated.

Yu Liu Xuande stood alone at the bow, staring at the river in a daze.

"My lord..." Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Liu Bei.

It was Chen Dao who had returned. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with these soldiers who rescued us. I've been in the army for a long time, but I've never seen them before."

"Before I was ordered to come to Jiangling, I never heard the military advisor mention that we would enter Shu in the near future. I wonder if the lord has heard the military advisor mention this matter?"

eccentric!
It’s so weird!

With only 500 people, you want our lord to enter Shu?

The military advisor seems to be prudent in his handling of matters. Entering Shu is such a big event, how could the military advisor arrange it so hastily?
Even if the matter was urgent, a military advisor would be cautious and at least send Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and other confidants of the lord to report to the lord. Why would he send an unfamiliar and strong general to deliver the message?

"I have never heard the military advisor mention this matter..." Liu Bei's calm voice came: "But you and I have never heard the military advisor mention this matter, so is it false and fabricated?"

"For example, your Chen Shuzhi led 5,000 elite troops to Jiangling to prepare for unexpected events. I have never heard the military advisor mention this."

"Should I doubt whether Shu Zhi is also eccentric because of this?"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Chen Dao was speechless: "This..."

Liu Bei: "You are tired these past two days, go back to the cabin and rest."

"Yes." Chen Dao retreated helplessly.

Once again, Liu Bei was the only one left at the bow.
wow~
On the river,
The waves are unpredictable and unpredictable.

Liu Huangshu looked at the vast river, his face showed no joy or anger, only his eyes became more profound...

……

the next morning,

There was a sudden commotion on the bow of the boat.

"We are all about to enter Bashu, so what if I drink a little wine?"

"What are you yelling about?!"

"I know you followed the military advisor's order to bring my elder brother to Shu, but the military advisor can't stop me from drinking!"

"Bring some wine, bring some more wine!!"

on deck,
Zhang Yide was reeking of alcohol and was making a scene while drunk.

The soldiers were helpless.

The leading general, Kong Wu, frowned, with a dark look in his eyes...

"enough!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard. It was Uncle Liu.

"Burp~ Big Brother..." Zhang Yide burped and complained angrily: "These bastards, relying on the power of the military advisor, don't even let me drink to my heart's content."

"You bastard, come in!" Liu Bei walked forward with a gloomy face and pulled Zhang Fei into the cabin.

In the cabin, Zhang Fei was still making a fuss: "Brother, what are you doing..."

Liu Xuande suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in Zhang Fei's ear: "Even Uncle Chen has noticed that there is something wrong with these people. Haven't you noticed it yet?"

There's something wrong with these people?

Aren’t they from the police?!
Zhang Fei was stunned.
He shuddered suddenly, and most of the alcohol in his body dissipated: "Brother, are these people really spies?"

"Damn it, I'm holding a spear..."

boom! ~
Just as Zhang Fei was about to stand up, Liu Bei punched him on the shoulder and pushed him back into his seat: "How foolish! They have 500 men, and we only have a few people?"

“Don’t forget!”

"We are still wounded after fighting in Jiangling! If we are to be killed, our lives will be in danger!!"
