Chapter 130: Xianzhen Camp attacks again and Sun Quan is captured!

Chapter 130: Xianzhen Camp attacks again and Sun Quan is captured!

The sky gradually brightens.

The bright morning sun pierced through the pale sky, scattered over the city walls of Hefei, and also sprinkled on Chaohu Lake.

Boom! ~
Outside Hefei,

More than ten thousand Jiangdong soldiers, holding large shields and long weapons, raised dust all over the ground and slowly advanced towards the gate of Jiangdong City!
From a distance, it looks like the waves of Chaohu Lake are surging towards Hefei city!
boom! ~
Ten thousand soldiers stopped at the suspension bridge in Hefei City.

Like a gate,
Blocked outside Hefei city.

Their mission today is not to attack the city.
Just standing here,

Keep an eye on Hefei!

……

Chaohu Lake,

The sparkling light is dazzling.

The shore pier,

The densely packed tower ships and huge warships of the Jiangdong navy are still majestic and awe-inspiring.

However, the soldiers on the boat looked at the shore, each with a look of hesitation and uneasiness on their faces, no longer having the energy and spirit of yesterday.

No one expected that tens of thousands of elite naval forces from Jiangdong would be blocked on the shore by a cavalry force of nearly a thousand!
Many soldiers who did not have time to get off the ship yesterday still remember the scene they saw on the ship.

The cavalry charged forward without stopping, and were invincible! Almost instantly, they killed those comrades who had just landed on the shore, and they had to jump into the lake and swim to survive!
It is said that……

I heard that someone even saw the Marquis of Wu being dragged into Chaohu Lake with the defeated army yesterday? ! !
The soldiers on the warships whispered to each other:
"Marquis Wu is going to land today?"

"What are you afraid of? Yesterday was just a minor setback. We have tens of thousands of elite navy soldiers in Jiangdong. This time we are mobilizing so many troops to attack Hefei for the second time. If the Marquis of Wu doesn't even dare to go ashore, wouldn't it be a joke if it gets out?"

"That heavy cavalry is very brave. If they were still blocking the shore today, I'm afraid..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Marquis of Wu has already sent 10,000 soldiers to block Hefei City. If the cavalry rushes out of the city again today, they will never come back!"

call! ~
On the main ship, the "Sun" battle flag fluttered in the wind.

Sun Quan stood on the bow deck, staring at the Hefei city ahead with a gloomy expression.

"Hefei!"

Looking at this city that haunted his dreams, Sun Zhongmou gnashed his teeth...

In order to capture Hefei City, he had tried his best and used every possible means, but he always returned empty-handed.

During the Battle of Xiling,

Cao Cao was captured by Liu Zilie, so he mobilized the entire Jiangdong navy to attack Hefei, thinking that he could capture this important city in one fell swoop. However, he never expected that the damn Liu Zilie actually let Cao Cao go, causing him to fail!
The Jiangdong navy did not even reach the shore of Hefei before turning back halfway from Chaohu Lake in disgrace. For this, many of Jiangdong's aristocratic families secretly laughed at themselves for an unknown period of time.

During the second expedition to Hefei, he did reach the shore, but the city of Hefei was almost deserted...

He brought tens of thousands of elite Jiangdong navy soldiers to attack an empty city, but ended up being driven into Chaohu Lake like a duck...

He is the Marquis of Wu!
The lord of Jiangdong who controls the southeast!
I actually floated in the cold lake for a long time and almost drowned in the lake! !

Such a shame, such a shame! ! !
Suffering this great humiliation,

If I can still withdraw from Hefei in such a humiliating manner, then I might as well not take the position of the Lord of Jiangdong!

"Wuhou!"

A general hurriedly boarded the deck of the ship and said, "Reporting to Lord Wu, the navy of 10,000 soldiers has been deployed outside the city of Hefei. There is a commotion on the top of the city wall..."

"So far, there has been no sign of Hefei soldiers leaving the city!"

The scene of being driven off Chaohu Lake by Gao Shun yesterday still made Sun Quan feel scared for the future.

Although the Jiangdong Marquis Wu had made up his mind not to retreat in such a cowardly manner, he also did not want to experience the freezing cold water of Chaohu Lake again.

In order to be able to "show off his military power" safely on the shore this time, Sun Quan directly sent an army of 10,000 people to line up outside the city of Hefei, blocking all possibilities for the Hefei soldiers to leave the city!
at this time,

Hearing that the soldiers in Hefei City had been completely pinned down, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and was in high spirits: "Good!"

"As long as these Hefei rats don't take advantage of my isolation and attack me, what do I have to fear?!"

"Pass on the order of the isolated army, and go ashore!"

boom! ~
A large number of naval soldiers began to rush to the shore.

The Jiangdong navy moved again.

Trample! ~
The green silk umbrella cover once again set foot on the land of Hefei.

Under the umbrella, Sun Quan stood on the shore of Hefei, looking around disdainfully.

There were only a few thousand Jiangdong soldiers surrounding the umbrella. Those ten thousand Jiangdong soldiers had already tied down the defenders of Hefei City. What other dangers outside Hefei City could threaten them?

Xilulu! ~
A war horse was brought from the boat by his followers, and Sun Quan jumped on the horse quickly and efficiently.

On horseback, the Marquis of Wu waved his sleeves.
in an instant,
The sound of drums rose...

Sun Quan was full of pride. He wanted to show those rats in Hefei City that

Even though they gained some temporary success with their sneak attack yesterday, there is no way that the powerful Jiangdong navy could be defeated by such a small sneak attack!

……

In the dense forest not far from the shore,
A thousand soldiers were lying in ambush in the dense forest not far from the shore, keeping a close eye on the movements on the shore.

They have been lying in ambush here since last night,

I stayed there all night.

It's just to wait for the big fish, Marquis Wu, to come ashore.

Gao Shun was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, resting.

A scout was reporting military intelligence to him: "The Jiangdong Navy has sent more than 10,000 soldiers to block the city of Hefei. They are neither attacking the city nor retreating. Their behavior is very suspicious."

More than 10,000 people?
Neither attack the city nor retreat?
Gao Shunwei showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "This Wu Hou really has no courage. These 10,000 people must be preventing us from leaving the city. They mobilized such a large force to prevent us..."

"I'm afraid Sun Zhongmou has made up his mind to go ashore for the second time today."

The voice has not fallen,

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of drums and music, and the sound spread from the shore to the dense forest.

"General Gao!" A soldier came to report in a hurry: "Sun Zhongmou has landed!"

coming!

His eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of fanaticism flashed in his calm and resolute eyes: "All armies, prepare for battle!"

"In this battle, we must capture Sun Zhongmou alive!"

……

On the shore of Chaohu Lake, the sounds of music and drums became louder and louder.

Looking at the city of Hefei blocked by his own army in the distance, Sun Quan, who had been depressed for a long time, felt relieved. He comforted himself: "It doesn't matter. Although we can't take Hefei this time, I think Zhou Lang and others have been assassinated by Liu Zilie. The four counties of Jingnan must be a share of Jiangdong."

"In this case, Jiangdong can't be said to have gained nothing this time..."

Boom! ~
"kill!"

Suddenly, a thunderous cry of killing came from behind Sun Quan.

"Not good!" Sun Quan turned his head hurriedly.

In the dense forest behind me,
A large number of ambush troops rushed out and attacked the Qingluo umbrella!
ambush?

Where did the ambush come from? !
Didn't they say there were no signs of Hefei soldiers leaving the city? !

Instantly, Sun Zhongmou's scalp was about to explode! !

"kill!"

"Capture Sun Zhongmou alive!!"

"Quick! Quick! Protect Marquis Wu!"

"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy quickly!!"

The 10,000 soldiers outside Hefei were too far away from here and had no time to rescue.

It was too late for the Jiangdong navy on the boats on the shore to get off the boats and rescue.

Caught off guard,

Only the two thousand soldiers around Sun Quan rushed to meet the enemy...

"kill!"

The Jiangdong soldiers who were guarding Sun Quan rushed towards the ambush troops with all their might.

A thousand ambush soldiers raised their short spears high...

"Throw!"

Woo! ~
Densely packed short spears, like a violent storm, whistled and fell on the heads of the Jiangdong soldiers.

"what!!"

There were endless screams and wails.

A large number of Jiangdong soldiers were hit with broken heads and fell to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.

In a moment,
There was a large group of Jiangdong soldiers standing in front of Sun Quan left empty-handed!

"Kill! The one under the green silk umbrella is Sun Quan!" Gao Shun charged forward with a spear in his hand, heading straight for the green silk umbrella!
A thousand people followed him.

Like a rolling torrent, it rushed towards the Jiangdong Army, which had already lost the initiative!

boom! ~
The two armies collided! Swords clashed, blades pierced flesh!

Hot blood splattered in the air.

puff~
Two long spears stabbed into the chest and abdomen of a Jiangdong soldier!
Several sharp blades chopped off the heads of several naval soldiers!

Although the number of soldiers guarding Sun Quan was far greater than that of the ambush troops in Hefei.

But under the leadership of Gao Shun,

The morale of the ambush troops was high and they fought hard, like a steel knife, easily piercing deep into the formation of the Jiangdong navy.

They kept advancing.

quickly,

The blue umbrella cover is already in sight...

It's that familiar face again!

That bloody face again!

Sun Zhongmou's lips and tongue went dry, and his whole body began to tremble. He saw...

He saw Gao Shun's face.

It was this Gao Shun who forced himself to jump into Chaohu Lake yesterday.

He is here again today!

Thinking of the scene where he almost drowned in Chaohu Lake yesterday, a chill spread from the cracks in Sun Quan's bones...

"Go! Lord Wu, go!"

"The soldiers in front can no longer hold on!"

Exhortation that was very similar to yesterday's once again rang in Sun Quan's ears.

But this time Sun Quan was not angry at all. He turned his horse around without hesitation.

Xilulu! ~
He wanted to run, run towards the Jiangdong Navy!
As soon as he got on the boat, he immediately ordered a retreat to Jiangdong!

At this moment, Sun Quan no longer cared about showing off his military power or saving face!

He has to save his life first!
"Gee! Gee~"

Sun Quan whipped his horse whip anxiously, he wanted to run!

However, the soldiers behind him were in a panic and huddled together, and the horses under his crotch could not run at all!
"kill!"

At the same time, the shouting and screaming behind him was getting closer and closer.

Sun Quan looked back in panic.
My heart was instantly horrified.

Amidst the flying of flesh and blood, the ambush troops advanced rapidly forward like cutting through the waves.

at the moment,

It's only a stone's throw away from me.

The Marquis of Jiangdong Wu was so frightened that he lashed out at the soldiers on both sides with the whip.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"

The Jiangdong soldiers in the rear felt pain and subconsciously dispersed to both sides, finally making way for Sun Quan to ride his horse.

Xilulu! ~
"Drive!~"

The horses' hooves are galloping and their four legs are flying.

Sun Quan finally jumped out on his horse and ran towards the navy on the shore with sweat all over his forehead.

……

"Want to run?" Gao Shun, who had already killed two thousand Jiangdong soldiers, wiped the blood off his face.

He picked up a short halberd stuck in the body of a Jiangdong soldier.
raise your hand,

Throw it out with all your strength.

Woo! ~
On horseback,
Sun Quan's face was filled with joy at having escaped death. He had escaped, he had finally escaped. When he got back to the boat, he would...

At this moment,

The evil wind behind his head interrupted Sun Quan's reverie.

He didn't even have time to react.

puff~
"Ah!~"

The sharp blade of the short spear pierced into Sun Quan's shoulder.

Plop! ~
Sun Quan fell off his horse!
The severe pain made Sun Quan almost unable to stand up.

huff! ~
He was breathing heavily and crawling forward with difficulty. The blood from his shoulder was all over the ground. The strong desire to survive made this pampered Marquis Wu ignore everything.

As long as you get back on the boat, you will be safe.

if only……

Snapped! ~
A cold gun blade was placed on Sun Quan's neck.

His whole body froze.

Gao Shun's voice, colder than a spear blade, came from behind Sun Quan: "Don't run, Marquis Wu..."

……

Public Security City,
The central door of the county magistrate's mansion was wide open.

Rumble, rumble~
Xilulu! ~
Liu Wu reined in his horse, and the chariot, which had not stopped at all since leaving the Xiling camp, finally stopped in front of the residence of the Gong'an County Magistrate.

Following the chariot, the crowds of soldiers and civilians in the city also stopped.

Liu Wu raised his head and looked at the plaque on the county governor's residence...

Liu Wu had passed by this plaque countless times. In the past, he had entered the county magistrate's mansion as a subject, but today, when he stepped into this mansion again, he was the lord of Gong'an City and even the four counties of Jingnan!
The county magistrate's mansion, which once belonged exclusively to Emperor Liu, has finally changed its owner.

"We are waiting to welcome you back to the city!"

"Please come in, young master!"

Outside the mansion, a group of civil officials and military generals paid homage to Liu Wu without any hesitation.

Before this, they were ready to surrender the city to the eldest prince, but Uncle Liu suddenly rushed back and made the surrender abort.

Now that Uncle Liu has been defeated and the eldest prince has entered the city, his surrender to him is merely a continuation of the surrender that was not completed before.

Liu Wu didn't say anything.

He just slowly got off the chariot and strode towards the county magistrate's mansion.

Step! ~
Step! ~
Step! ~
Liu Wu stepped step by step onto the stairs he had stepped on countless times.
Liu Wu crossed the threshold that he had crossed countless times.
One step into the Gong'an County Magistrate's mansion!

The Jingnan Central Force, the head of public security... he is finally back!

In the end, he got back everything he deserved.

Tap tap tap! ~
Liu Wu's figure gradually disappeared in the mansion.

The officials outside the mansion breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that the eldest son would punish them for the last surrender of Weicheng. Seeing that Liu Wu did not mention the past, the tense nerves finally relaxed and they immediately followed Liu Wu into the mansion.

Outside the mansion, I watched Liu Wu enter the county magistrate's mansion.

The soldiers and civilians who followed were also completely relieved:

"It's over! It's finally over!"

"Gongan City is finally safe now."

"The eldest son has taken over the public security and is in charge of Jingnan. These days of anxiety are finally over."

"With the eldest son here, we don't have to worry about Jiangdong and Cao Cao eyeing Jingnan..."

……

The lobby of Gong'an County Magistrate's Mansion,
The throne that was once occupied by Uncle Liu has now been replaced by Liu Wu.

The civil and military classes,

Still as before, arranged on the left and right.

"The four prefectures and forty-eight counties in southern Jing, as well as all the indexes of population, finances, and military forces are all here..." Mi Zhu stood respectfully below Liu Wu.

Dozens of clerks, carrying more than ten large wooden boxes, stood outside the hall.

These index directories are not actual contents. As the name suggests, they are just directories. Moreover, Mi Zhu did not really want Liu Wu to see these things when he brought them over.

This is just his attitude, the attitude of the entire public security officials.

In the eyes of these civil and military officials,
The battle of Gong'an was, after all, nothing more than a struggle within the Liu family, and it made no difference to them who won or lost.

Mi Zhu was no exception. Although he was closer to Adou, he could only go with the flow. Now that the emperor's uncle had been defeated and the situation was on Liu Wu's side, he naturally had to follow Liu Wu.

On the main seat,

Liu Wu looked down from a high place, looking at everything in front of him.

He did not talk about the bamboo slips, nor did he talk about Gong'an City and the four counties of Jingnan.

As soon as he opened his mouth,
The tension in everyone's mind, which had just relaxed, instantly tightened again: "Liu Xuande, has he not been captured yet?"
