Chapter 124 The Second Northern Expedition! Sun Zhongmou ruled Jiangdong and died in Hefei!
Chapter 124: The Second Northern Expedition! Sun Zhongmou ruled Jiangdong and died in Hefei!
Jiangbei, Cao’s army camp.

Cao Mengde and Pang Shiyuan were also in confrontation.

"I know they insisted, but did you give it to them?!"

Prime Minister Cao looked as if he wanted to eat the young phoenix alive...

Now he only wants to figure out one thing, that is, whether Liu Wu ceded Hefei to Jiangdong?

Cao Mengde couldn't sleep or eat because he couldn't figure out this problem.

"Prime Minister, please don't be anxious. We haven't given it to you yet..." Pang Tong said slowly, "Hefei is an important place. My master has an agreement with the Prime Minister. How could he break the agreement?"

"My master was just giving a perfunctory verbal response to temporarily appease Marquis Wu."

Did not give?

Hefei is still there!

The tense string in Cao Cao's mind instantly loosened.

Plop! ~
He slumped down on the table and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he didn't give it to me, it's good that he didn't give it to me! Liu Zilie is finally not confused..."

The thing I was most worried about did not happen after all.

Once Hefei falls into the hands of Jiangdong, Sun Zhongmou will certainly lead his army out of Hefei without hesitation, take all the land in Huainan, take advantage of the Huai River, and head straight to the Central Plains!
At that time,
I’m afraid that even if I turn back to Xuchang, I may not be able to make it in time!

Cao Cao finally put his heart at ease, but Pang Tong's voice continued: "But now, it is still unknown whether this Hefei city can continue to belong to my master..."

It is still unknown whether Hefei can be owned by Liu Wu? !
As soon as Feng Chu finished speaking,

Prime Minister Cao's face was gloomy. "Pang Shiyuan! It was you who said that Hefei was not given to Jiangdong. Now it is you who said that Hefei may not be controlled by Liu Wu..."

"Did Liu Zilie send you here to entertain me?!"

Pang Tong shook his head: "How dare I? But Prime Minister, you don't know that my master and Liu Xuande had a standoff in Gong'an before. The Marquis of Jiangdong Wu received the news and saw that my master was reluctant to hand over Hefei, so he had other ideas."

"Before Pang Tong came, the Marquis of Jiangdong Wu wrote a letter to the generals of Jiangdong, which was obtained by my lord!"

"The letter said that if the father and son of the Liu family confront each other in Gong'an, the generals can act according to their own circumstances and seize the four counties in southern Jing. They can even lead the soldiers from Jiangdong to rebel and stab our master in the back! Then they can seize all the lands in northern Jiang!"

"Fortunately, this letter was intercepted by my master, so he took action in advance and imprisoned the Jiangdong generals who followed the master to the south..."

Jiang Dong wants to stab Liu Zilie in the back?!
Cao Cao's face looked extremely ugly. Now that Liu Wu's army had gathered in Gong'an, the counties north of the Yangtze River must be empty.

If Sun Zhongmou attacks Liu Zilie at this time, I cannot say anything else, but Hefei will undoubtedly be lost!
And that damned Liu Xuande would definitely escape death because of this, and continue to dominate Jingnan and show off his power...

"What a good Sun Zhongmou, he is really indecisive!" Cao Mengde's voice was cold. He had no objection to Sun Quan attacking Liu Wu.
But at this critical moment, if Jiangdong takes action against Liu Wu, it will affect the ownership of Hefei, the survival of Liu Da'er, and his own interests. How can he remain indifferent?

From beginning to end, Cao Cao never doubted the truth of what Pang Tong said. In fact, what Pang Tong said was so consistent with the character and personality of the Marquis of Wu.

Seeing that Prime Minister Cao seemed to have been moved by what he said, Pang Tong immediately added fuel to the fire without showing any emotion: "Prime Minister Cao, the situation is now clear..."

"The Prime Minister and my master both want to destroy Liu Bei!"

"Only Sun Quan from Jiangdong is plotting to seize Hefei and the land north of the Yangtze River. He is taking advantage of the confrontation between my master and Liu Bei to stab us in the back!"

"In this case, he will have to secretly form an alliance with Liu Bei."

"If my master fails, not only will Hefei be occupied by Jiangdong, but even Liu Da'er, who is already in a desperate situation, will escape again as he did in the past!"

"This not only ruins the affairs of my master, but also the affairs of the prime minister."

"At this moment, only the Prime Minister and my master can work together to break this crisis..."

At this point, Pang Tong's expression became solemn: "Prime Minister! Now it's time to protect Hefei and destroy the big-eared thief!"

"Prime Minister, please do not be vague!!"

……

……

boom! ~
Along the river, the tide rises and falls.

time flies,
One day, two days, three days...

In a flash, more than half a month had passed.

Public Security City,
Liu Bei and Liu Wu were in a standoff, but the two sides still did not start a war.

"My lord! To depose the elder and enthronize the younger is the path to ruin, my lord, you must be careful!"

"The eldest son Liu Wu is gifted, brave, good at fighting, wise and intelligent. He will surely carry forward the lord's foundation. Please make him the crown prince!"

"In this chaotic world, only a wise ruler can gain a foothold in the world. The one who can inherit the lord's foundation must be the eldest son!"

"Please open the city gates and welcome the eldest son to Gong'an! My lord, please don't be so foolish!"

"As long as the lord does not accept my advice, we will die under the city walls..."

Outside the Public Security City,

Sun Qian, wearing heavy armor, once again led the generals who surrendered to Liu Wu with him, and shouted "advised" at the top of his voice under the city.

The public security soldiers guarding the city could almost hear their shouts.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

On the top of the city wall, a general gave an order.
Whoosh whoosh~
Arrows rained down like locusts,

Flock to!

Sun Qian and others retreated in a hurry...

Uncle Liu had already issued a military order that if Sun Gongyou led people to disrupt the morale of the Gong'an army again, the soldiers should respond with bows, crossbows and arrows, regardless of life or death.

But even so,
The defenders on the city wall did not dare to actually shoot at Sun Qian, they just drove them away.

After all, Sun Qian represents the eldest son at the moment. If he is really shot to death, causing the eldest son's army to attack the city, wouldn't that bring disaster to the public security?

Looking at the backs of Sun Qian and his group going away,
The guards on the city walls had different expressions...

Over the past half month, Sun Qian has been leading people to the city gate every day to "persuade" Emperor Liu to open the city gate, and has been driven away by arrows from the city every day. However, this veteran who once served under Emperor Liu has not given up his actions and still brings people to the city gate to shout every day.

at first,

The soldiers in Gong'an City still found it quite ridiculous.

Sun Qian had clearly surrendered to the eldest son Liu Wu, and was clearly knocking on the gate to persuade the emperor to surrender for the eldest son's sake. However, he still claimed that he asked Uncle Liu to open the city gate and was "persuading" Uncle Liu. Isn't this deceiving himself?
But over the past half month, Sun Qian came to speak every day, and the people in Gong'an City also listened to Sun Qian's words every day. The thoughts of the people and soldiers in the city gradually wavered...

How long will this confrontation with the eldest son last?
Although the lord and the eldest prince did not go to war, with the eldest prince's large army besieging the city, how long can Gong'an hold out?

If the stalemate continues, Gong'an City will eventually be unable to be defended. I'm afraid that Liu Huangshu will have to leave the city to fight...

But once the war breaks out, not to mention that the fratricide between father and son will ruin Uncle Liu's reputation, just the fact that most of the public security forces have surrendered to the eldest prince, my lord...how can you be a match for the eldest prince?
Somewhere on the top of the city wall, several soldiers gathered together and whispered:

"After all, the eldest son is the lord's blood son. Why does the quarrel between father and son have to go to such lengths?"

"If you ask me, since the eldest son is so powerful now, why don't you open the city gate and welcome the eldest son into the city? Father and son are still father and son. Can the eldest son really do anything to the master?"

"After all, the eldest son is the eldest son of the lord. It is only natural for him to inherit the lord's foundation in the future. Why should the lord..."

Before the soldiers could finish their words, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Shut up!"

Everyone trembled.
He looked up hurriedly.

The general who was patrolling the city today was looking at them coldly: "You are on duty on the city wall, whispering to each other, disrupting the morale of our army..."

"Drag them away! Fifty lashes each!"

If he was whipped fifty times, he would lose at least half his life!
At that moment, several soldiers were panicked. Just as they were about to beg for mercy, their mouths were gagged and they were dragged away to be executed!
"Woooooo~"

far away,

Looking at the gagged soldiers being whipped, the captains had strange expressions on their faces:

"Is this the first batch of people to be beaten?"

"I can't count them all. Anyway, in the past seven or eight days, the number of soldiers who were whipped for discussing the shouting incident outside the city has increased."

At this point, all the captains suddenly fell silent.

Who among the soldiers and civilians in the city doesn’t know what Sun Qian and others shout every day?
A lieutenant couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "The people in the city who are talking about Sun Gongyou's shouting are not just these soldiers."

"Even if whipping people every day can control their mouths, how can you control their hearts?!"

These two sentences,

It seemed to give the others a chance to vent their frustrations:
"After all, the lord wants to make Adou the crown prince, but can Adou compare with Master Changchang?"

"My lord, is he really confused? The eldest son even captured Cao Cao alive and forced Cao Cao to cede a large piece of land in the north of the Yangtze River to the eldest son. Instead of enthroning such a heroic son, he enthroned a seventeen-year-old child. This is really absurd!"

"These days, Mr. Gongyou has been shouting outside the city day and night that 'not establishing the eldest son as the heir apparent is the path to ruin'. He is right! Liu Jingsheng and Yuan Benchu ​​abolished the eldest son and established the youngest son as the heir apparent, but didn't they end up ruined in the end?"

"Alas, I hope that Uncle Liu can really listen to Mr. Gongyou's [advice], open the city gates as soon as possible, and welcome the eldest prince into the city. Gong'an City is besieged by the eldest prince's army, and it will be undefendable sooner or later..."

For a time,

With Sun Qian's daily calls,
The hearts of people in Gong'an City are like the undercurrent beneath the calm water, gradually surging and agitated...

……

Xiling Military Camp,

Inside the central military tent!

"Zi Lie, Sun Gongyou led his men to shout today, but was driven back by a rain of arrows." Wei Yan stood in front of Liu Wu and reported: "For the past half month, Sun Qian has been shouting at the foot of Gong'an City every day, and was driven back by a rain of arrows every day..."

At this point, Wei Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "We have been shouting this message for more than half a month, and we have also besieged Gong'an for more than half a month, but Liu Xuande still hasn't made any move. How long do we have to keep besieging him?"

Wei Yan was naturally aware of Pang Tong and Liu Wu's plan...

The troops besieged Gong'an City and tied down the last of Jingnan's strength there. Then Lu Xun and Gan Ning took advantage of Jingnan's emptiness to seize the four counties.

Let this Gong'an City become a dead city and trap Liu Bei to death!

This way, we can safely take over Jingnan without causing Liu Wu to bear the infamy of father-son fratricide. It couldn't be safer...

But now more than half a month has passed,

Gong'an City doesn't show any signs of collapsing. If it continues like this, when will it end?
Apart from other things, there are now 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the camp. The food and grass consumed in the past half month is scary enough. Although it can still hold on for now, Zilie also said before that within a month, Gong'an City will definitely change...

But seeing that Gong'an City is now calm, Wei Yan is really uneasy.

If this delay continues,

Even if Cao Cao has Mr. Fengchu lobbying...

Even though the Jiangdong generals have been imprisoned by the Lord and the news cannot be leaked...

How could the Sun and Cao families not take any action?
Liu Wu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "It's okay."

"Although Sun Qian has not shouted to open the gates of Gong'an City in the past half month, according to reports from our spies, the soldiers and civilians in Gong'an City have become shaken and their war-weariness has become stronger..."

"The day when Gong'an City will undergo a change is not far away."

But when will the change happen?
Wei Wenchang has been suffocating outside of Gong'an City for more than half a month, and he really can't hold it any longer...

"Lord!"

A soldier hurried into the tent: "Mr. Lu Boyan, urgent news!"

Lu Xun?
Wei Yan was stunned. Didn't Lu Xun and Gan Ning lead 5,000 troops and secretly march south to capture the four counties in southern Jing?
Now all the troops of southern Jing are in Gong'an, and the four counties are empty. If Lu Boyan and Gan Xingba lead these five thousand troops to attack the four counties, won't they be invincible?
Lu Xun reported urgently at this time, could it be...

Could it be that these two people have already taken over the four counties in southern Jing?
Wei Yan's thoughts were churning, and he was filled with envy. He had been following his lord on this southern expedition and wanted to take the opportunity to gain more military merits and build a career, but he had never expected that Lu Boyan had gotten ahead of him...

It really made Wei Wenchang jealous!

On the main case,
Liu Wu took the bamboo slips.

Just read a few lines,

Suddenly he frowned slightly.

"Wenchang, please take a look." Liu Wu looked at Wei Yan and handed the bamboo slips in his hand to him.

Did something unexpected happen in Jingnan?

Wei Yan was surprised and took the bamboo slips with both hands and started reading:

[Your humble servant Lu Xun bows before the lord’s carriage a hundred times…]

[Since Xun and Xingba followed the Lord's order and went south, Jingnan was empty and short of troops. We led the army straight in, conquered every attack and won every battle. We were invincible and captured counties along the way. Countless people surrendered at the sight of us...]

[When the battle reached the city of Changsha, there were veteran generals Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who were extremely brave! ]

[We attacked Changsha for several days but failed to capture it, and lost many soldiers.]

[Your subjects are ashamed and ashamed, so we write this letter to apologize for our crimes. We also ask the Lord to quickly send a general to support Changsha and defeat Huang Hansheng...]

Changsha!

Huang Hansheng!
Wei Yan held the bamboo slips in a daze, as if he was recalling the past...

Because Xiangyang opened the city gates to Liu Bei, he was forced to go into exile in Changsha and served under the command of Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha.

He met veteran Huang Hansheng in Changsha, and the two got along very well.

Until that day,

Guan Yu led his troops to take Changsha, and Huang Zhong went out of the city to fight.

That battle,
Huang Zhong returned without success, and Han Xuan suspected that he was secretly communicating with Liu Bei and wanted to kill him.

However, he, who was actually in secret contact with Liu Bei, suddenly jumped up and killed Han Xuan in the hall, rescued old Huang Zhong, and handed over Changsha County to Liu Xuande.

Since then,

The two people's relationship became increasingly distant.

Huang Zhong was highly valued by Liu Xuande.

However, he was excluded everywhere in Liu Bei's army.
Until I followed Zilie out of Gong'an City...

In no mood,

Today I saw news from an old friend again...

"Zi Lie!" Wei Yan took a deep breath and bowed to Liu Wu: "Although Huang Zhong is old, he fought with Guan Yu for a hundred rounds under Changsha City, and there was no clear winner. Huang Hansheng even shot an arrow at the tassel on Guan Yu's helmet. He was extremely brave!"

"If Lu Boyan and Gan Xingba want to attack Changsha, I'm afraid their chances of success are slim..."

"Wei Yan and Huang Hansheng have saved my life, and are willing to go to Changsha to help Boyan and Xingba take Changsha!"

Huang Zhong has always been loyal and righteous.

When Wei Yan surrendered the city to Liu Bei that day, if Huang Zhong had not been able to stop him, it would have been hard to say whether Changsha County would have fallen into the hands of Liu Xuande.

Now, let alone the fact that Lu Xun and Gan Ning were no match for Huang Zhong, even if they could really capture Changsha, if no one intervened to mediate, I'm afraid Huang Hansheng would probably die along with the city.

If Wei Yan, Huang Zhong's savior, was present, Changsha City might have been captured at the lowest cost.

This is also the reason why Liu Wu asked Wei Yan to read this letter...

Liu Wu nodded: "In that case, Wen Chang will go to Changsha." Wei Yan's phoenix eyes were shining:
"Don't worry, Zilie. This time, Wei Yan will not only help Boyan and Xingba take Changsha City, but will also persuade Huang Hansheng to abandon the dark and join the light, and work for Zilie!!"

……

Outside the city of Gong'an, beside the river.

wow~
The river tide is surging and the white waves are hitting the shore.

The sparkling river surface still flows slowly eastward.

ashore,

Liu Wu was walking slowly along the river bank, supported by Sun Shangxiang, with a group of guards following closely behind him.

These days,

There was no fighting between the Xiling Army and the Gong'an garrison, and Liu Wu often came to the riverside to take a stroll and breathe some fresh air.

Looking at the surging river in front of him, Liu Wu's thoughts surged...

The situation in Jingnan will be determined.

I will soon take over all four counties.

But right now I have another troublesome matter to deal with...

By the vast river,

Liu Wu stood with his hands behind his back and turned to look at the Gong'an City in the distance. The matter between him and Liu Bei should finally have a result.

In this matter, only the emperor of Xuchang can help me...

Liu Wu said calmly: "Pen, ink, bamboo slips."

Immediately, a guard presented a bamboo slip with writing brush and ink.

There were also guards who bent their backs and served as desk clerks.

Liu Wu spread out a blank bamboo slip on the guard's back and wrote with his pen.

[Your Majesty, my humble servant, Awu, pays respect to my brother in Xuchang. To revive the Han Dynasty, I have led my troops southwards to seize the four counties of southern Jing. My only concern is that the Emperor Liu of southern Jing is my biological father. If father and son are now at war, I am afraid that the world will criticize them...]

[I have served Uncle Liu since I was a teenager, and I have been willing to go through fire and water for him. All of Uncle Liu's subordinates know this. Without my support, there would be no Uncle Liu today...]

[However, Emperor Liu was too foolish to see things clearly, and he deposed the eldest son and enthroned the youngest. He would rather make a seven-year-old child the heir than let his younger brother inherit his business. The younger brother had no choice but to use the name of Liu Zilie, leave Jingnan, go to Jiangbei, and establish another foundation...]

[…Now, the relationship between me and Uncle Liu is like fire and water, and Uncle Liu hates me deeply…]

Liu Wu writes very fast.

The causes and consequences of his breakup with Liu Bei, as well as the current state of the relationship between him and Liu Bei, were clearly written on the bamboo slips.

[The overall situation in Jingnan will be settled soon. After I have taken over the four counties, the land under my command will span both sides of the Yangtze River. At that time, I will bring my new wife to Xuchang to pay homage to my brother, the Emperor. As for the promise on the Golden Summit...]

For Liu Wu today, the four counties in southern Jing are no longer a problem.

The real trouble he has to face is how to properly handle the relationship with Liu Bei.

Although his letter was written in a tactful way and was even somewhat unrelated, Liu Xie was smart enough to see through it at a glance...

As soon as he conquered the four counties in southern Jing, he would go to Xuchang to see the emperor and ask Liu Xie to transfer him to the emperor's lineage. Then he would be able to legitimately sever his father-son relationship with Liu Xuande.

By then, Liu Bei could no longer use the father-son relationship to pressure Liu Wu.

No one in the world can use this relationship to blame Liu Wu anymore.

From then on, Liu Wu was able to truly let go and realize everything he had planned without any scruples.

Snap! ~
Liu Wu put down the wolf hair brush and blew dry the ink on the bamboo slips.

He looked up,
Just as he was about to order the guards to send the letter away,

suddenly,

A skinny man came down from a boat on the distant shore stealthily, looked around, and walked cautiously towards the direction of Gong'an City.

But he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly froze in place.

He saw Liu Wu,

He saw a large number of guards behind Liu Wu!
Clang! ~
"who?"

The guards drew their swords and protected Liu Wu, questioning him loudly.

The skinny man turned and tried to run.

Whoosh! ~
The guard drew his bow and an eagle-feather arrow whizzed out and hit the skinny man in the back.

"Ah~"

With a scream, the skinny man fell to the ground and was silent.

Several followers immediately ran forward.

After a moment, someone ran up to Liu Wu holding a bloody bamboo slip and said, "My lord, that man is dead. We found this bamboo slip on his body."

Bamboo slips?

Is this a message from someone?

Liu Wu frowned, unfolded the bloody bamboo slips, and began to read:
[Gongjin, it feels like a meeting. Liu Xuande has managed Jingnan and is very powerful. It will not be easy for Liu Zilie to take over the four counties in Jingnan...]

[I have received information from scouts that the father and son of the Liu family are facing off in Gong'an and are at a stalemate. You have 10,000 elite soldiers from Jiangdong, so you must not hesitate. You should quickly attack Liu Zilie from behind and take the four counties in southern Jing...]

[On the day the letter arrived, I had already led the Jiangdong navy to attack Hefei! ]

[This is a rare opportunity in Jiangdong, don’t miss it...]

This is a letter from Wu Hou of Jiangdong...

This is the letter from Jiangdong Wu Hou asking Zhou Yu and his generals to backstab Liu Wu...

When Liu Wu detained Zhou Yu and other generals from Jiangdong, he said that he had intercepted a letter from Sun Quan asking the generals from Jiangdong to stab him in the back.

did not expect,
Sun Quan is actually going to play for real this time? !
Liu Wu held the bloodstained bamboo slips in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light: "What a great Sun Zhongmou!"

"Good Lord Wu, he is still that rat from Jiangdong after all..."

……

Chaohu Lake, stretching across Hefei,
At that moment, the sun was in the sky,

All I saw was the golden sparkling light and the vast sea of ​​smoke.

There is tranquility on the boundless water.

But the next moment, this tranquility was instantly broken.

wow~
far away,

An overwhelming shadow swept over.

The shadow was like a sudden and violent wave.

Approaching the center of Chaohu Lake,

It is also approaching the city of Hefei on the shore of Chaohu Lake!

That was a boat team.
It is the most powerful boat force on both sides of the river!
The ships are thousands of miles long!

The flag covers the sky!

The vast sails look like gathering white clouds, and it is almost impossible to see the end.

The huge ship,

Row upon row of them,

As the lake surface surges, it rises and falls!

The huge oars are densely packed together, and every stroke will create huge waves.

As far as the eye can see,
The huge fleet of boats covered the vast surface of Chaohu Lake.

call! ~
At the head of the ship was a tall building with a large flag fluttering in the wind, with a huge word "Sun" written on it!

Under the banner,

Several people stood on the deck.

The first one had green eyes and purple beard, wearing a helmet and armor. He was none other than Sun Quan, Marquis of Wu, the lord of Jiangdong who controlled the southeast.

He looked out at the city in front of him, which was located on the shore of Chaohu Lake, with a burning look in his eyes: "Hefei! I am back again!"

"This time, I will never return empty-handed like last time!"

"This time, Hefei City must fly my banner!"

Along the way,

They sailed from the great river,
Cross the Yuxi River,

Straight to Chaohu Lake!

The Jiangdong navy followed this waterway that they would never forget and saw Hefei City again...

Sun Quan recalled the last time he tried to take Hefei. He was about to land, but because of that damn Liu Zilie, he failed.

The army has not fired a single arrow, and the battle has not begun.

He rushed to Hefei with great momentum, but returned to Jiangdong in silence and disgrace.

shame!

This is not only a shame for Sun Zhongmou, but also a great shame for the entire Jiangdong!
This time, during the second attack on Hefei, Sun Zhongmou will definitely avenge his previous humiliation!
He will never return to Jiangdong unless he takes Hefei!
"Lord Wu!" General Zhu Huan beside Sun Quan said hesitantly, "Liu Zilie has always been cunning. Hefei is such an important place, he must have a heavy army guarding it. Should we send scouts ashore first to investigate?"

Since Sun Quan first took over Jiangdong, Zhu Huan has served under Sun Quan.

Zhu Huan was appointed as the Captain of Bandit Suppression, commanding 2,000 soldiers and taking charge of the armies of Wujun and Kuaiji counties. He integrated the scattered soldiers, and within a year, he had more than 10,000 soldiers.

Later, bandits from Danyang and Poyang swarmed up, captured cities, killed local officials, and set up camps everywhere. Zhu Huan led his generals to attack the bandits' camps everywhere, and the situation was pacified wherever he went.

Therefore, although Zhu Huan was not among the twelve generals of Jiangdong, he was highly trusted by Sun Quan.

This time, Sun Quan broke the agreement and launched a surprise attack on Hefei, and Zhu Huan was extremely resistant.

In his opinion, Liu Zilie had already become Jiangdong's son-in-law, and even Hefei was agreed to be used as a betrothal gift. Next, Jiangdong only needed to help Liu Zilie capture the four counties of southern Jing to hand over Hefei.

Why should Jiangdong be so anxious and do such a criticized thing?

"Heavy troops? Haha..." Sun Quan sneered: "Liu Zilie has already sent all his troops to attack Gong'an, where do they come from?"

"I have already found out clearly that in Hefei City, there are only 5,000 new navy soldiers trained by Gan Xingba, and there are only a few thousand soldiers guarding the city. This time when Liu Zilie attacked Jingnan, he took these 5,000 new navy soldiers with him to Jingnan."

"Otherwise, how could our army enter Chaohu Lake so smoothly without anyone stopping us?"

call! ~
The wind was getting stronger on the lake.

The red cloak behind Sun Quan was blown into the air.

This made the Marquis of Wu even more in high spirits: "Xiu Mu, I know that you must not agree with my betrayal of Liu Zilie..."

Zhu Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed his hands and said, "I dare not."

Sun Quan waved his hand: "It's okay, you are not the only one who thinks so. I think many civil and military officials in Jiangdong think so. Your plan is nothing more than waiting for Liu Zilie to conquer the four counties in southern Jing, and then honestly hand over Hefei according to the previous agreement..."

"But I tell you, this is wishful thinking!" Sun Quan's blue eyes were filled with coldness: "Liu Zilie is cunning and treacherous, and has the character of a tyrant. He is the same as Liu Xuande and Cao Aman!"

"The so-called plan to take over the four counties of Jingnan for him first and then cede Hefei to Jiangdong is nothing but lies that Liu Zilie used to deceive Jiangdong!"

"Just wait and see. If Jiangdong really helps Liu Zilie take the four counties of southern Jing and then asks him for Hefei, he will definitely make all kinds of excuses to shirk his responsibilities..."

"In the end, Jiangdong lost not only his wife but also his army, and became a laughing stock in the world! Even in the future generations!"

"In this case, why doesn't Jiangdong take Hefei himself?"

bass! ~
Wu Hou suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist.

Pointing to the city of Hefei ahead,
The golden sunlight dyed the Yangtze River, which was as bright as autumn water, with a dazzling golden glow: "This time..."

"I want to take Hefei!"

"Jingzhou, I want it too!!"

……

The sun is setting in the west,

golden light,
Silently, it transformed into a red sunset.

The red clouds sprinkled over the vast Chaohu Lake.

It also sprinkled on the city walls of Hefei.

call! ~
A blood-red battle flag with the word "Gao" on it, reflected by the setting sun, fluttered in the strong wind.

Under the battle flag with the character "Gao",

A large number of soldiers stood with short spears in their hands.

They had no bows or crossbows.

Nor was he equipped with a sword or shield,
They were wearing heavy armor and holding short spears. During their time in Hefei City, with the support of dozens of counties, this powerful army that once dominated the Central Plains finally reappeared!

They are silent.

They were filled with murderous intent, and treated the rain of arrows and sea of ​​fire as nothing!
They are the trap camp!!
Step! ~
Step! ~
Step! ~
Heavy footsteps came from the top of the city. As time passed, the sound became louder and closer.

A figure covered in armor and holding a spear slowly approached the top of the city wall.

In historical epics, there is a battle in which Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan's 100,000 troops with only 800 men.

Back then, they were both under the command of Wenhou Lu Bu, and the Xianzhen Camp was invincible. At that time, the deputy general of the Xianzhen Camp was Zhang Liao, but the main general was Gao Shun.

Zhang Liao did not break into the camp...

But Gao Shun has it!!

The setting sun was facing Gao Shun, and the red glow wrapped around Gao Shun, almost turning him into a bloody man...

Gao Shun cast his quiet gaze towards the surface of Chaohu Lake.
Throw yourself into the vast Jiangdong navy.

He vaguely saw on the leading ship,
Under the great banner with the character Sun,

A figure like the moon surrounded by stars.

Gao Shun nodded gently: "Marquis Wu of Jiangdong..."

"Since you are so obsessed with Hefei, why don't you stay here this time..."

　There is another chapter later, but I am working on it now. It will be posted later, before 2 o'clock. The Battle of Hefei and the Battle of Xiling will start at the same time. Please stay tuned to see the fate of Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

　　
　
(End of this chapter)
