Chapter 132: Liu Bei and Sun Quan meet again as both are wanderers in the world!
Chapter 132: Huang Zhong surrenders! Liu Bei and Sun Quan meet again!
"Gee! Gee!~"

Outside the city of Gong'an, hundreds of riders were galloping on horseback, with a battle flag with the word "Wei" in the front.

Two generals rode their horses together under the battle flag, and one of them was Wei Yan who had returned from Changsha.

Wei Yan turned to look at the old general beside him and said, "Han Sheng, when Wei Yan was under Liu Xuande's command, he was excluded everywhere. After following the eldest son, he has now become the leader of a region on his own."

"Now that Gong'an City has been taken and the situation in the four counties of Jingnan has been stabilized, it is the right time for the eldest son to use people... Han Sheng's talent is ten times that of mine, and he has made great contributions in offering Changsha, so he will definitely be of great use to the eldest son!"

The old general had gray hair and beard and looked very majestic and powerful. He was none other than Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, the defender of Changsha.

He heard what Wei Yan said and shook his head helplessly. Huang Zhong could never have imagined that things would come to this point...

In order to save himself, Wei Yan killed Han Xuan, the former governor of Changsha, and surrendered the city to Liu Xuande. He also surrendered to Liu Bei in a daze.

But how long had it been since then, and the eldest prince's men had actually come to Changsha again?

Most of the four counties in southern Jing have fallen into the hands of the eldest prince, and only his Changsha County is still holding on.

He had already betrayed Han Xuan and joined Liu Bei before, and now he could not join the eldest prince no matter what. Wouldn't he become a slave of three surnames like Lu Bu?
Even when his former savior Wei Wenchang entered the city to persuade him to surrender, Huang Zhong remained unmoved. He was determined to be a loyal subject of Emperor Liu.

Unexpectedly, a battle report suddenly came from Gong'an, saying that Uncle Liu was defeated and the eldest prince entered Gong'an City!
"Alas!" Huang Zhong sighed as his thoughts raced through his mind, "Huang Zhong is now a slave of three families, how can I expect the eldest master to use him?"

Wei Yan: "Han Sheng is wrong! The eldest son is the eldest son of Emperor Liu. He will take charge of Jingnan sooner or later. Now he is just taking over in advance..."

"After all, the four counties of Jingnan are still the foundation of the Liu family, and Han Sheng is not a traitor."

"Besides, in Gong'an City, all the civil and military officials have pledged their allegiance to the eldest son, even Mi Zhu is among them, not to mention Han Sheng?"

Jingnan has always been the Liu family's foundation.

Even Mi Zhu joined the eldest prince.

Wei Yan's words relieved Huang Zhong's guilt a lot.

Liu Wu is the lord's eldest son, Mi Zhu is the lord's uncle, they are all the lord's relatives, and the four counties in southern Jing are indeed still the Liu family's foundation.

In this case, if I join the eldest son, it does not seem that I am a traitor, right?
Da da da! ~
As they were talking, the group had already entered Gong'an City and rode their horses to the county magistrate's residence!

Xilulu! ~
Outside the mansion, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong dismounted their horses and headed straight for the lobby.

After a moment, two figures stepped into the hall.
At the main desk, a young figure sat firmly on the throne.

Wei Yan suppressed his excitement and saluted Liu Wu: "Zi Lie, the four counties in southern Jing have been taken by us!"

"General Huang of Changsha is very righteous and has surrendered the city. I have come to see you, my lord."

Wei Yan's voice was still going on, and Huang Zhong, who was standing beside him, was staring at the pair of eyes as bright as autumn stars behind the table, his mind in a trance...

He still remembered the time when Liu Wu served his uncle Liu Huangshu and ran around everywhere.

But now, in just a short period of time, he captured Cao Cao!

Located in Jiangbei!
Become a prince!

Now they have captured Gong'an and taken over the four counties in southern Jing!
My lord, now that you have this talented child in charge of southern Jing, why should you worry about not accomplishing your great cause or the revival of the Han Dynasty?
After all, this Jingnan is still Liu's Jingnan...

this moment,
The last bit of doubt in Huang Zhong's heart finally dissipated completely.

He fell to his knees with a bang: "Huang Zhong, hello, Master!"

Huang Hansheng, who had fought with Guan Yu for nearly a hundred rounds without a clear winner, finally surrendered to Liu Wu.

Step! ~
Step! ~
Step! ~
The sound of slow footsteps reached Huang Zhong's ears after the case was solved. He subconsciously looked up...

The eldest son Liu Wu stood up and held Huang Zhong's arms: "Old General, please stand up. Now that I have just obtained Jingnan, the four counties are vast, and I still need your help, Liu Wu..."

……

Boom! ~
Rumble, rumble~
On the bank of the river, on the road leading to Gong'an, smoke and dust were billowing.

Eight hundred cavalrymen were guarding a carriage and were galloping towards Gong'an City.

Inside the bumpy carriage, there was a man with blue eyes and purple beard, with a wound on his shoulder that had just been bandaged. He was none other than Sun Quan's grandson Sun Zhongmou, the Marquis of Jiangdong Wu, who had been captured by Gao Shun.

The Wu Hou of Jiangdong, who ruled the southeast, was confused at the moment...

Was I captured just like that?

He couldn't understand why he, the Marquis of Jiangdong Wu, who led tens of thousands of elite naval forces, was captured by just a thousand people?
When Cao Cao's 800,000 troops came to attack Jiangdong, they were directly burned to ashes by a huge fire in Jiangdong!

How many people are there in Hefei?

Before landing that day, he even sent 10,000 soldiers to station outside the city of Hefei, and brought 2,000 soldiers with him as guards... But, how could he end up like this? !

Do I really know nothing about military affairs?

Wu Hou fell into deep self-doubt...

"Hurry up, don't waste time."

"We must send the people in the car to Public Security City and to the Lord as quickly as possible!"

The voice of the leader of the eight hundred heavy cavalry reached the carriage.

public security?

Lord?

They want to hand themselves over to the police and to Liu Zilie?
Sun Quan in the car was stunned: "Could it be that Liu Zilie has already occupied Gong'an City?!"

"That's not right! I have clearly written to Gongjin, asking them to take advantage of the situation to attack Liu Wu from behind and seize the four counties in southern Jing. Logically, Gong'an City should have been in the hands of Gongjin and his men by now..."

"How did Gong'an City end up being occupied by Liu Zilie?"

I didn’t get it in Hefei.

It seems that Jingnan was not taken over by Zhou Gongjin either.

Even he himself became Liu Zilie's captive...

Chaos!

It's all chaos!
All the plans for Jiangdong's great cause were disrupted by Liu Zilie, and even he, the lord of Jiangdong, was implicated.

“Liu Zilie…” Sun Zhongmou gnashed his teeth, full of bitterness and hatred: “Why do you always go against me and Jiangdong?!”

"My Jiangdong cause is completely destroyed by your hands!!"...

Wow! ~
The mighty river flows eastward, its waters roaring endlessly.

Like a giant dragon, it roars and howls, running across the south.

On the vast river, a fleet of boats was sailing downstream along the turbulent water.

"Adou wants to drink milk! Adou wants to drink milk!"

Inside the cabin, Ah Dou buried himself in Mrs. Mi's arms, rolling and making a lot of noise.

Mrs. Mi was helpless. She had never given birth to a child, so where would the milk come from? This time Liu Wu occupied Gong'an, and they left in a hurry, and they didn't have time to take the wet nurse with them.

How can Adou's needs be met on this big river?
"Be good, Adou, don't make a fuss." Madam Mi could only try her best to comfort Adou: "We will arrive in Jiangdong soon, and we will find a wet nurse for Adou then."

"I won't! I won't! I won't! Adou wants milk now, right now!!"

Adou didn't listen at all and made even louder noises.

Liu Bei, who was sitting not far away, was already very upset because of the defeat in Gong'an. At this moment, Adou's sharp noise was like a sharp blade cutting his nerves.

They were all his own sons. Although the rebellious son deserved death, he had established a great foundation, while his beloved youngest son only knew how to suckle all day long...

Liu Xuande finally exploded: "Enough! Shut up, you evil creature!"

"If it weren't for you, the crown prince, how could I, Liu Bei, end up like this?!"

"Shut up! Shut up!!"

Uncle Liu's furious voice echoed throughout the cabin.

Adou's crying stopped abruptly, and he subconsciously shrank into Mrs. Mi's arms. Adou was scared. He had never seen his father so angry.

"My lord." Zhuge Liang lifted the cabin curtain and entered the cabin.

Liu Bei was immediately inspired. He stepped forward quickly, his face full of hope: "Military Advisor, how many troops do we have now?"

Although they went to Jiangdong for refuge this time, the number of troops they had was related to how Jiangdong would treat them.

One of the most important reasons why Sun Quan was willing to form an alliance with Liu Bei during the Battle of Chibi was because Liu Bei still had 20,000 people under his command at that time.

Jiangdong believed that he was worthy of an alliance, which led to Cao Mengde's defeat at Chibi and Liu Xuande's occupation of the four counties in southern Jing.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed: "I brought 3,000 people with me, and we suffered a lot of casualties while rescuing the lord..."

"Add to that those who secretly left Gong'an and followed the Lord when Liu Wu entered the city. Add them all together, and now there are barely three thousand of them."

"Besides these, there are no other soldiers."

Three thousand?

Only three thousand?!
He has been managing the four counties in southern Jing for quite some time, and how many soldiers do he have under his command?

The battle of Gong'an gathered 20,000 naval forces and 30,000 infantry!
But now...

Liu Bei's hopeful eyes disappeared in an instant. Was this all that was left of his long-term accumulation in Nanjun?

He thought of the 20,000 navy and 5,000 infantry that Liu Wu had surrendered, as well as the thousands of soldiers who had taken advantage of the chaos in the camp to defect to Liu Wu!
Thirty thousand elite soldiers...

Uncle Liu's heart is bleeding and feels like it's being cut by a knife!
"Alas~" Uncle Liu sighed.

He was already annoyed by Adou's noise, and now after hearing about the situation of his soldiers, he became even more suffocated. He went straight out of the cabin and stood on the bow deck.

The magnificent river is mighty and boundless.

The cool breeze from the river made Uncle Liu feel much more relaxed.

Looking at the surging river flowing eastward, Liu Bei's eyes were filled with sorrow...

The city of Gong'an was badly defeated, and the four counties of southern Jing were all lost. In the end, he was able to save his life only with the help of the generals from Jiangdong.

Apart from the three thousand soldiers, which were better than nothing, he had nothing under his command.

I have fled to Jiangdong in such a miserable state. When the Marquis of Wu sees me like this, I don't know how he will be so proud and gloat over my misfortune. I don't know how he will humiliate me and mock me...

Thinking of this, Uncle Liu became more and more irritated and turned to look at the shore.

Boom! ~
Just at this moment, a cavalry group was galloping on the shore, raising a cloud of dust.

The Jiangdong fleet was sailing downstream from west to east.

The cavalry on the shore went upstream from east to west.

The two sides just happened to meet...

The distance between cars and ships is getting closer and closer.

The carriage in the middle, protected by cavalry, was discovered by Emperor Liu.

"Which noble is this on tour? Why is he escorted by such a mighty cavalry?" Liu Bei was surprised. These cavalrymen did not raise any flags, so he could not recognize who they were. He was just amazed at the identity of the people in the carriage.

call! ~
The river breeze blows.

The silk curtains on the carriage were blown, and a familiar face with blue eyes and purple beard suddenly appeared in Liu Bei's sight.

Liu Bei was stunned...

That person is, is the Marquis of Wu!
It’s Sun Quan!
It was Sun Zhongmou whom he wanted to surrender to! !
Liu Huangshu was in disbelief. He waved at Sun Quan from the boat and shouted, "Lord Wu!"

"Wuhou!"

"Xuan De has come to seek refuge with you!"

On the carriage,
Sun Quan looked at the familiar figure on the boat...

Listening to that familiar voice...

He was even more excited than Uncle Liu at this moment...

He suddenly leaned most of his body out of the window and shouted heartbreakingly: "Lord Xuande!"

"Lord Xuande! Save me! Lord Xuande, save me!!!"
