Chapter 116 Liu Bei is dead! Everything he left behind is mine!

Chapter 116: Liu Bei is dead! Everything he left behind is mine!

Outside Jiangling City,

The waves are rising and falling, and the river is surging.

A navy,
From east to west, mighty and mighty, going upstream against the river!

All I could see were sails densely packed together like clouds, boats traveling thousands of miles, and raging waves.

Jiangdong Navy,

Liu Wu's army that marched south finally arrived in Jiangling!
The originally empty Jiangling Pier,

Instantly, huge warships appeared everywhere.

Layers,

Row upon row.

Boom! ~
Dense crowds of soldiers poured down to the shore like a tide.

Tens of thousands of footsteps,

When stepping on the land of Jiangling, the entire ground was shaking slightly!

The shields and weapons gathered together,

Like waves,

Surging and surging.

Under the bright sunlight, the armor shines, like thousands of sparkling golden scales.

The battle flags flutter in the wind, gathering like clouds and covering the sky!

With the help of Sun Shangxiang, Liu Wu slowly got off the boat, and the Fourteen Generals of Jiangdong followed closely behind him.

Looking at Jiangling City ahead, Zhou Gongjin had a complicated expression.

He had stormed this important place and town countless times, but each time he was defeated by Cao Ren's stubborn defense and had to retreat. Unexpectedly, in the end he was captured by the young man in front of him without losing a single soldier!
In comparison, I, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, really do not deserve the title.

At this time,

A large black team was galloping towards us from the front.

"Zi Lie!"

Xilulu~
Two figures dismounted from their horses. They were Wei Yan and Pang Tong.

"Zi Lie! You are finally back..." Wei Yan grinned and bowed to Liu Wu: "We are waiting for you to take charge of the situation here!"

these days,

First, Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought endlessly in the city, and then Zhuge Liang sent a large army to confront them on the river.

Even though Wei Yan was not afraid, he was still afraid that Zhuge Liang would really come and kill him, ruining Liu Wu's plan.

Looking at the mighty navy and the densely packed soldiers behind Liu Wu, Pang Tong's worries over the past few days finally dissipated.

He raised his wine gourd and took a big gulp. "Good disciple, it's good that you're here! Facing Zhuge Liang's 50,000-man army, I, your teacher, had to use all my persuasion to barely make him retreat."

"If you don't lead the troops back, I'm afraid I, your teacher, won't be able to hold on any longer."

Thinking about the confrontation with Zhuge Liang on the river that day, Feng Chu couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Zhuge Liang really wanted to force his way across the river that day...

I’m afraid it will be difficult for the Jiangdong navy to go ashore today.

Liu Wu nodded gently: "Thank you for your help, Teacher Wenchang. Now my army has arrived."

"The next person who will have a headache is Mr. Wolong."

Pang Tong: "Don't talk here, let's go into the city quickly."

While talking,
A carriage was coming up from behind, and Sun Shangxiang gently supported Liu Wu and got on the carriage together.

Pang Tong also asked the team that came to welcome Liu Wu to give up fourteen mounts for the fourteen generals of Jiangdong to ride.

The group entered Jiangling.

As far as the eye can see, the city is in ruins.

The Jiangdong generals were stunned. The city looked like it had just experienced a battle.

Suddenly, Pang Tong rode his horse to the side of the carriage and said, "Zi Lie, there is a difficult problem here that only you can solve..."

"Prior to this, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were in Jiangling City..."

"Chen Dao, Liu Bei and the others have left, but there are still 2,000 of Chen Dao's 5,000 soldiers captured by us in Jiangling City. They are all elite soldiers. We cannot let them go, but it would be a pity to kill them..."

Before Pang Tong finished speaking, Liu Wu understood what the teacher meant.

Liu Wu: "Then I will meet these prisoners first."

……

In Jiangling training ground,
The prison was now filled with prisoners, and everywhere one looked, there was a sea of ​​heads.

These captives were all wearing Liu Jun's uniforms and armor. Although they did not shoot a single shot, the coldness in their eyes made the onlookers shiver.

They were the remaining two thousand elite troops under Chen Dao's command.

After being captured,

He did not beg for mercy or surrender, but remained silent. He kept saying the same thing over and over again: kill if you want to kill me.

Rumble, rumble~
At this moment, a carriage drove towards these remaining elite troops.

All the captives looked over here.

call! ~
At this moment,

There was a light breeze blowing,
The curtains were blown up.
A young and upright figure appeared.

For a moment, all two thousand captives were stunned...

"That's the eldest son!"

"It's indeed the eldest son!"

"Why is the eldest son here?"

"Nonsense, General Wei Wenchang is here, why can't the eldest master be here?"

"I greet the eldest master!"

Liu Wu didn't even say a word, he just showed his face, and the two thousand remaining elite soldiers who were originally determined to die became agitated.

The thousands of elite soldiers who served as personal guards for Liu Bei by Chen Dao were almost all selected by Liu Wu alone, and their subsequent training into an army was also handled by Liu Wu and Chen Dao.

Liu Wu has a very high prestige in this army. Coupled with his status as the eldest son, his status in these people's hearts has even surpassed Chen Dao!

The two thousand elite soldiers in front of him could be said to be old acquaintances of Liu Wu.

Liu Wu didn't waste any words and said directly: "I'm already in Jiangling, what are you waiting for?"

The leading deputy general knelt down in front of Liu Wu's carriage without hesitation: "I am willing to serve the eldest prince!"

As the deputy general knelt down, more and more elite soldiers of Liu Jun knelt down:

"I am willing to serve the eldest son!"

"I am willing to serve the eldest son!"

"I am willing to serve the eldest son!"

The eldest prince is the eldest son of the lord and was once their superior. Is it shameful to serve him?

Of course it’s not shameful, it’s perfectly normal!
In a flash, the two thousand remaining elite troops, who were considered a problem by Feng Chu, surrendered to Liu Wu without hesitation.

Pang Tong was amazed by what he saw.

"Who is that over there?" Liu Wu looked towards the other side of the parade ground in the carriage.

There,

There were also a large number of captives, but they were wearing Cao’s army uniforms and armor. The leading general was tied up and kept cursing.

Pang Tong: "That day Cao Cao was trapped, and Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry entered the city to rescue him... These 1,000 people are the remaining Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the one who was tied up is the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun."

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also stayed?
Liu Wu: "Let's go meet the best cavalryman in the Central Plains."

Xilulu! ~
The driver waved the whip and slowly drove towards where the Cao army prisoners were. Cao Xiu's insults reached Liu Wu's ears more and more clearly.

"Shameless villain!"

"If you have the guts, set up your battle formation outside the city. How can my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry be afraid of you in the slightest?!"

"Prime Minister Cao's army is outside the city. The Prime Minister will never forgive you!"

Cao Chunzheng cursed happily.
suddenly,

A horse-drawn carriage was coming up ahead, and Cao Chun was still cursing.

A pair of bright eyes looked at him...

In a moment,

Cao Chun shuddered suddenly, and his throat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand.

His face turned pale!

He would never forget those eyes.

Outside Xiling City,

It was the owner of these eyes who knocked him off his horse with a halberd!
It was the owner of these eyes who killed or injured more than thirty generals in Cao’s camp!
It was the owner of these eyes who captured Prime Minister Cao alive in front of tens of thousands of Cao’s troops!

Those scenes that Cao Chun didn't want to recall flashed through his mind like flowing water...

giggle~
Cao Chun, the arrogant and manic leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and a general of the Cao army,
At this moment, I feel like a quail in winter, trembling violently...

Liu Wu didn't even look at him, but glanced at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers around him, and then turned to look at Pang Tong: "Teacher, let these Tiger and Leopard Cavalry leave their armor, staffs and horses, and then let them go."

Feng Chu was startled.
He nodded immediately, he understood what his good disciple meant.

Now is the time when we need Prime Minister Cao, so we have to give him the face he deserves.

Let these people go?
Cao Chun, who was feeling uneasy, was stunned. He subconsciously looked up at the young man in the carriage, but happened to meet the pair of bright eyes looking at him.

Liu Wu: "Give my message to Prime Minister Cao..."

"I know Prime Minister Cao is very sorry about the incident in Jiangling. These 1,000 people are my greetings to Prime Minister Cao..."

"Now the war is about to begin. I will attack Liu Bei soon. Jiangdong is eyeing us covetously. I ask Prime Minister Cao to support Liu Zilie!"

……

……

Entering the long-lost residence of the governor of Jiangling,
It can be regarded as a revisit to the old place.
The last time Liu Wu came here, he used Cao Ren to trick the city gate open, and lured and killed all the military leaders in the city in the county governor's mansion.

This is why Liu Bei defended Jiangling to the death and helped him fight against the five elite generals.

This led to the incident where Wei Yan, the fake Meng De, scared away the real Xuande.

Liu Wu took a seat.

At this time, the only people left in the hall were Wei Yan, the defender of Jiangling, Pang Tong, the Phoenix Master, and Sun Shangxiang, who had just gotten married.

"Teacher, please write a letter for me and send it to Gong'an City."

Feng Chu heard this and took a sip of wine: "I can probably guess what you mean. Although the public security now has 50,000 troops, it is only supported by Kong Ming alone."

"Attacking the city is inferior, attacking the heart is superior."

Wei Yan had already asked someone to bring paper and pen and started grinding ink.

Pang Shiyuan was also ready.

Liu Wu said calmly: "This letter must first be delivered to Zhuge Liang."

"Second, we need to spread the news in Public Security City so that everyone knows about it."

"Wen Chang, you must have planted a lot of spies on the south bank of the river, right?"

Wei Yan put down the inkstone and said, "That's right. There are nearly a hundred spies near Gong'an City."

"Then you can do this."

Then Liu Wu turned to look at Pang Tong: "Teacher, let's start."

The wolf hair brush in Pang Tong's hand was already dipped in ink: "Hmm."

Liu Wu spoke:
"A few days ago, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Yide crossed the river and headed north, intending to meet me."

"He brought with him Mi Fang's troops and three hundred armored soldiers."

"There is also Chen Shuzhi who leads 5,000 personal guards..."

"Unfortunately, the weather was unpredictable, and before I could meet him, Liu Bei encountered Cao Mengde's 3,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"Although Cao Mengde only has 3,000 cavalry, they are all elite soldiers. He is accompanied by more than ten generals including Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, etc..."

"When I returned, the war had already ended. I only knew that the battle was extremely brutal, with corpses piled up like mountains and armor covering the ground. The two armies were caught off guard and it must have been a fight to the death."

"But the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is indeed the best army in the world. When I came back, I heard that Cao Mengde had returned to the camp safely, but I couldn't find any trace of Liu Bei. Guan Yu, Zhang Yide, Mi Fang, Chen Dao were also missing..." "Until today, I got the news that Guan Yu appeared in Cao's camp."

"If Yunchang, who killed Hua Xiong with a warm wine, was like this, what can the others do? I am afraid that they have all fallen into Cao's camp... Hearing this bad news, I am worried!"

Speaking of which,
Everyone in the field looked strange.

Pang Tong wrote down every word without missing a single one, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a sad news. I am so worried!"

With the help of Sun Shangxiang, Liu Wu slowly stood up:
"Although there is some rift between Liu Bei and I, father and son, this is definitely not what I, Liu Wu, intended."

"Now my father died before he could even start his business. Cao's bandits are strong and Jingzhou is exhausted. This is truly a critical moment for our survival."

Already my father...

Cao Cao is still powerful, but my father has died.

In comparison, the four counties in southern Jing are really not worth mentioning.

"However, the ministers who guard the palace are diligent inside, and the loyal and dedicated men are willing to sacrifice themselves outside, all in pursuit of the special treatment my father received..."

This is Liu Bei's legacy.
Can't let you down.

Don't worry, I, Liu Wu, will definitely inherit it well and will not let these people down.

"Now that Cao Cao's army has moved south, you must have scouts in Jiangbei, and you should know that Jiangling City is in danger!"

"Jiangdong has already captured Xiakou. You should have read the battle report long ago. Now that Xiakou has been lost, our Xiling City is in danger!"

Cao Cao is coming from the north and wants to attack our Jiangling city.

Sun Quan is coming from the east, and just after taking over your Xiakou, he is now heading for my Xiling base!
"If you help Zilie, Zilie will open up avenues for speech, glorify the virtues left by his father, and boost the spirit of the patriots!"

"Zi Lie did not underestimate himself, and used inappropriate analogies to block the way for loyal advice!"

Kong Ming, you have no master now, why don't you bow to me?

Don't worry, I will do my best!

Whatever Liu Bei can give, I, Liu Zilie, can give!
"But Zilie heard that you abandoned the land of Jingnan and gathered your army in Gong'an! What exactly do you want to do?"

Now that something has happened, you don't send troops to help me, and you don't defend the four counties in southern Jing that my father worked so hard to conquer. What on earth do you want to do? !

"Now that the situation is like this, sir, why are you defending this Public Security City?!"

Liu Bei has already been killed, why are you still guarding the public security...

Speaking of which,
Wei Yan's expression has become very interesting.

Pang Tong wrote with great pride, he was overjoyed.

Sun Shangxiang was extremely pleased when she heard this! Previously, when Liu Bei was in the Jiangdong Council Hall, there was no Pu who spread rumors about Liu Wu.

What are you doing in my house?

What kind of bullying is this for orphans and widows...

Looking at the scenery outside the hall, Liu Wu slowly let go of Sun Shangxiang's hand and calmed himself down.

He put his hands behind his back and said: "My father wanted to join hands with you to destroy the traitors and support the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately we parted ways halfway."

"Mr. Zide was like a fish in water, and fortunately he built a good business. It was only because my father was ignorant and did not listen to Mr. Zide's advice that he brought about his own failure."

"Liu Wu is stupid."

"Liu Chan is young."

"I have no choice but to entrust you with important matters. I hope you will preserve your integrity and live up to the expectations of Jingzhou."

"Your talent is ten times that of Cao Cao and a hundred times that of Sun Quan. You will surely be able to stabilize the country and accomplish great things."

"If I, Liu Wu, can assist you, please help me, sir. Liu Wu will treat you like a father."

"If I, Liu Wu, am not talented..."

"Sir, you can establish yourself as the Lord of Jingnan!"

My dad is dead.

Give me all the things he left behind!

If you don't want to give it to me,

Then you take over it yourself!

My father left all the inheritance to you! I just want to ask you if you dare to accept it! !
As long as you don't give it to me, even if you have the slightest hesitation, it will be disloyalty to Liu Bei!
That was all because of my own evil thoughts!
Those are all kept by you, Kong Ming, if you want them...

……

……

wow~
The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon springs from the river.

The night is dark,

On the river entering Bashu, everything is quiet.

Only a few boats passed slowly on the water, making the sound of flowing water.

Step~
Step~
Step~
A very light sound of footsteps was heard on a large ship at the head.

Under the cover of night,
A figure came onto the deck cautiously.

The moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the face of the figure. Liu Xuande asked, "Why haven't my third brother, Mi Fang, and Chen Dao come yet?"

Uncle Liu frowned and stuck to the bulkhead outside the cabin, trying his best to hide his figure.

tonight,

It was time for Emperor Liu to save himself!
If we go further,

In another two days, this fleet will really enter Sichuan along this waterway. By then, the water will be turbulent, and even if he wants to jump off the boat, it will be too late. By then, he will probably have to bite the bullet and enter Bashu!
"Liu Wu..." Uncle Liu bit his back teeth tightly, "You want to coax me into Bashu, and then you can take over Jingnan under the noses of the Sun and Cao families? Haha..."

"wishful thinking!"

Even though Emperor Liu hated Liu Wu deeply, he had to admire his eldest son's courage and strategy.

If I hadn't noticed something was wrong on the ship, I'm afraid Liu Wu's plan might have succeeded!

and many more,

hold on!
Liu Bei suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

I kept looking up at the full moon in the night sky.

He had already agreed on a time with Zhang Fei, Mi Fang and Chen Dao. In about two incense sticks' time, it would be midnight. The four of them would meet at the bow of the ship, seize the boat and escape!
Liu Huangshu took a deep breath:

"Evil son, when I return to Jingnan, I will make sure all your plans come to nothing!"

……

"Woo!~"

"Woo!~"

In another cabin, Chen Dao and Mi Fang were being tied up with hemp ropes by several soldiers, with rags stuffed in their mouths. They could only stare with their eyes wide open and utter meaningless shouts.

"General, both of them have been tied up." A soldier replied to the strong general in the lead.

Looking at the two people who were trapped like dumplings, General Kong Wu nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad... How is Zhang Yide doing?"

The soldier laughed and said, "That black guy is easier to deal with. We gave him two more jars of wine tonight. He drank happily and got drunk a long time ago. It didn't take much effort to tie him up."

After hearing that everyone on the ship had made clear arrangements, General Kong Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. The lord's plan finally worked properly."

Upon hearing that Zhang Fei had also been ambushed, the bound Chen Dao and Mi Fang began to struggle again.

"Woo!~"

"Woo!~"

The strong general came up to the two men and pulled out the rag that was in Chen's mouth.

"Huff!~You, who are you guys?!" Chen Dao was breathing heavily, looking at the strong general with a look as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

General Kong Wu smiled and said, "What do you think, General Shuzhi?"

Chen Dao: "Could it be that the eldest son sent you here?"

Liu Bei only secretly told Chen Dao and others that there was a trap on the ship, but he did not tell them who the soldiers on the ship belonged to.

In Chen Dao's opinion, the lord had just left Jiangdong not long ago, and there was no reason for Jiangdong to deceive the lord.

If they were Cao Cao's men, they would probably be on the way to Xuchang by now.

The only person who could and dared to deceive the lord was the eldest son. But what Chen Dao couldn't understand was why the eldest son tricked them into Bashu.

"It doesn't matter who we are. What's important is that as long as you follow us into Bashu safely, you can have a safe journey."

"But you guys just won't behave yourself. There's nothing I can do but tie you up and send you to Bashu!"

"Uncle Liu is still waiting at the bow, but we can't keep him waiting for too long..."

Hearing the words "Uncle Liu",
Chen Dao's heart trembled, but the strong general suddenly stuffed the rag back into his mouth, blocking all shouts.

"Let's go!"

The strong general turned around and said, "Don't make Uncle Liu wait anxiously..."

……

The moon is bright in the sky, and it is midnight.

"It's already time, why haven't they shown up yet?" Bathed in the moonlight, Uncle Liu became increasingly anxious.

At this time,
A slow voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Bei.

"My Lord, do you have an appointment with anyone?"

boom! ~
in an instant,
Liu Bei froze there as if struck by lightning. He turned around in a hurry and saw the strong general in the daytime with more than ten soldiers standing quietly behind him!

Liu Bei pretended to be calm and said, "The moonlight is very beautiful tonight, and I came here to enjoy it."

"Enjoying the moonlight?" General Kong Wu nodded: "It seems that there are many people who share the same pleasure as our lord tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, the strong general waved his hand and two figures tied up were pushed forward.

It was Chen Dao and Mi Fang!
Oops!
The truth has leaked!
Liu Bei's heart suddenly sank and his face turned ugly.

General Kong Wu spoke slowly: "My lord, the night on the river is too cold. You should get on the boat first. Once you enter Bashu, you will naturally be able to enjoy the moonlight."

Bashu...

Hearing these two words, Liu Bei suddenly sneered. He stopped pretending: "Bashu, Bashu... That little bastard Liu Wu really put a lot of thought into taking the four counties in southern Jing."

"Do you think that by sending me to Bashu, you can get the four counties of southern Jing?"

"Haha, Zhuge Military Advisor's tens of thousands of elite troops must be waiting for him outside Gong'an City. He wants to take Jingnan? Dream on!"

Liu Xuande immediately revealed the identities and origins of these soldiers.
The face of the leading general, who was very strong, changed instantly. He said coldly, "My Lord! Now that things have come to this, it is no longer up to you!"

"You have to enter Bashu whether you want to or not..."

Before General Kong Wu finished speaking, Liu Xuande suddenly ran towards the side of the ship, thump thump thump! ~
He's jumping off ship!

"Quick! Hold him down!"

This is the critical moment!
Several soldiers suddenly rushed forward and pressed Liu Bei down on the boat, unable to move at all.

"Oh!" Liu Xuande, who was pressed down by several people, gritted his teeth and sighed, but unfortunately he was a step too slow. Several soldiers grabbed Liu Bei's arms and pulled him up.

The strong general heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. If Liu Xuande really got away, he really didn't know how to face his lord.

"Hey! How dare you plot against your Third Master!!"

Suddenly, a roar like thunder came from a boat nearby.

The thunder has not yet dissipated,

boom! ~
Then a figure as strong as an iron tower appeared, jumping from the nearby boat directly onto this boat like a tiger leaping across a ravine. It was Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide!

In an instant, the entire ship began to shake.

But Zhang Fei was sober, and seeing that he had drunk too much and made mistakes, he simply broke the hemp rope and jumped off the boat.

"Third brother, save me!" Before everyone could react, Liu Bei had already called for help.

Master Zhang San rushed to Liu Bei like a gust of black wind.
call! ~
"what!"

A pair of black fists were like sledgehammers, smashing at the soldiers around Liu Bei with the sound of breaking wind! Only screams could be heard!
The soldiers who had captured Liu Bei fell to the ground one after another. Zhang Fei shouted at Liu Bei: "Brother! Hurry up and leave!"

General Kong Wu's face turned pale: "Not good!"

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei jumped out of the boat!
Wow! ~
There was a huge splash of water on the river.

General Kong Wu hurriedly ran to the side of the boat and looked over. The two brothers were no longer visible on the mighty river...

General Kong Wu's face turned pale: "Quick! Someone come quickly!"

"Get in the water! Get in the water quickly!!"
