Chapter 135 Xuande takes off his armor!

Chapter 135: Xuande takes off his armor!

The river is vast and powerful, with huge waves and turbulent tides.

The fleet stretched downstream.

"The Marquis of Wu was kidnapped by hundreds of cavalrymen? This Uncle Liu is so smart to think of this."

"After all, Liu Xuande was almost murdered by his own eldest son. It's understandable that he was so angry that he had hallucinations."

"Haha, Liu Bei is a tyrant, who knows what he is planning next?"

"He is now in a state of panic, like a lost dog. We are not afraid of whatever he plans to do."

The Jiangdong generals returned to their cabins, still discussing Liu Bei's so-called Wu Hou being held hostage, and could not help but sigh with emotion...

Since the Battle of Chibi, the generals of Jiangdong began to deal with Liu Xuande.

They personally witnessed Liu Bei and Jiangdong joining forces to defeat Cao Cao!
I personally witnessed how Liu Xuande occupied Jingnan, from having no place to stand to occupying four counties and forty-eight counties!

I personally witnessed how Liu Xuande was defeated by Liu Zilie and turned from a powerful lord into a stray dog ​​in the blink of an eye!

Now, seeing Liu Bei suffer one blow after another and even having "hallucinations" before his eyes, even though Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong generals had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, they could not help but sigh for Liu Bei.

Zhou Gongjin had a complicated expression...

After the Battle of Chibi, he still regarded Liu Bei as a major threat to Jiangdong and was extremely vigilant.

But thinking of Liu Xuande's "nonsense" just now, Zhou Yu could only look with pity: "It is really lamentable that a great hero of his generation has fallen to such a state."

"Grand Governor!"

A soldier from Jiangdong entered the cabin: "Urgent news from Jiangdong!"

An urgent message from Jiangdong at this time?

All the generals present were stunned.

Zhou Gongjin took the bamboo slips suspiciously, unfolded them and looked at them... and was instantly stunned.

What exactly did this urgent report say?
Looking at Zhou Yu's strange expression, the Jiangdong generals were even more surprised.

Veteran General Huang Gai spoke up: "Gongjin, what does the letter say?"

Zhou Yu: "Lu Zijing sent a letter saying something happened in Jianye, it's urgent! Let's return to Jianye as soon as possible!"

Something happened to Jianye?
Is it urgent?
Everyone was stunned, and Zhou Tai blurted out: "What happened to Jianye?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Lu Zijing did not say that in his letter."

Is there an enemy attacking Jianye?
Now that Liu Bei is useless, the only two people on both sides of the Yangtze River who have the strength to attack Jiangdong are Liu Wu and Cao Cao, but now one of them is too busy and the other is powerless.

If someone wasn't attacking Jianye, what else could make people like Lu Zijing call it extremely urgent?
Zhou Tai muttered to himself: "This Mr. Zijing is the same, what can't be said in the letter? It can't be that something happened to the Marquis of Wu...

Marquis of Wu?

Before Zhou Tai finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

Zhou Yu and others were startled, and they subconsciously thought of the "nonsense" that Liu Xuande had said before.

Zhou Tai moved his throat with difficulty: "General, just now Uncle Liu said that he saw the Marquis of Wu being held hostage by a cavalry. It can't be true..."

Huang Gai, Han Dang and others instinctively wanted to refute, but when the words came to their lips, they swallowed them back for some unknown reason.

When Liu Huangshu mentioned that Marquis Wu was held hostage, the look of certainty in his words reappeared before their eyes...

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

If it was really as what Uncle Liu saw, wouldn’t that mean that they had just missed the best opportunity to rescue Marquis Wu?
Everyone's backs were wet and they all looked at Zhou Gongjin.

Zhou Yu's expression was grim: "The matter has not been decided yet, so please do not speculate! In any case, let's go back to Jianye first and discuss other matters later. Pass on my order..."

"Raise the sail! Speed ​​up!"

"The fleet must return to Jianye as soon as possible!!"

……

……

"No matter what! Ah Dou wants to be fed, and he wants to be fed now!"

"Please be patient, Ah Dou. There is no wet nurse on the boat. Where can I find milk for you?"

inside the cabin,
Looking at Adou who was crying and making a fuss again, Mrs. Mi's face was full of helplessness. The joy and excitement she had just felt at the concern of Uncle Liu had been completely worn away by Adou.

Uncle Liu, who was sitting on one side, was also very annoyed by Adou's noise.

All he wanted now was to quickly reach Jiangdong, meet with Sun Quan to discuss forming an alliance again, and find a way to get Jiangdong to help him take back Jingnan... How could he bear to listen to A Dou howling here?
"I want milk! I want milk!!"

Ah Dou's cries continued, and Uncle Liu's eyes twitched as he listened. He couldn't bear it anymore: "You bastard, rebellious son! I think you really deserve..."

"My lord! The secret letter from Gong'an City!" A soldier hurried into the cabin holding a brocade bag.

The secret letter from Gong'an City?
Liu Bei stood up suddenly, and the anger in his heart was instantly replaced by surprise...

Although he left in a hurry, there were still many people in Gong'an City who were loyal to him. This secret letter must be the secret information about Gong'an City that they were passing on to him.

Liu Bei hurriedly took the brocade bag, took out the silk letter and unfolded it:

[Uncle Liu read the letter in person. Since his uncle left, Liu Wu has already occupied Gong'an City...]

[Now all four counties in southern Jing have been occupied by Liu Wu...]

The four counties of southern Jing have indeed fallen into the hands of that rebellious son!

Liu Xuande was distraught.

From the moment he was defeated in Gong'an and boarded the boat in Jiangdong, Liu Bei had foreseen this outcome.

But now when he really confirmed the news, Liu Bei was still in a trance...

His four counties in southern Jing,

The foundation of his great undertaking,

All his hard work and efforts over the years were lost in one day?

Do not!
I still have a chance!

At the beginning, Liu Xuande was also displaced and had no land to stand on, but in the end, didn't he still manage to take over the four counties in southern Jing?
Now it's just starting over again...

As long as I can get the support of Marquis Wu this time, taking back Jingnan will be just around the corner!
"Huh!" Liu Bei raised his head and took a deep breath, forcing himself to concentrate and continue reading the letter:
After Liu Wu entered Gong'an, all the civil and military officials surrendered to him.

[Jian Yong, the attendant of the Left General, was appointed as the attendant of Jingzhou by Liu Wu...]

Jian Yong rebelled and joined Liu Wu? ! !

Boom~
Liu Xuande's mind buzzed and his face turned a burning red.

He recalled the rebellion initiated by Jian Yong during Liu Wu's siege of Gong'an. After being captured, Jian Yong kept saying that he was not rebelling, but was considering his own foundation...

They are all excuses!

It's all bullshit!

He was just after the high position and generous salary, otherwise why would he accept Liu Wu's official position? !

Jian Yong was his good friend from his youth, and he was the elder who had followed him for half his life.

When he was away from home to study, it was Jian Yong who supported his family.

When I was defeated again and again, it was Jian Yong who always followed me and never left me!

But now, he actually betrayed me? !
A position in Jingzhou actually made him kneel down at the feet of that evil boy? !

Such people are more hateful than others who betrayed them!

"Good, good, good Jian Xianhe!" Liu Xuande gritted his teeth and said, "He is such a hypocrite who forgets his principles for the sake of profit."

"I shouldn't have kept him alive that day! I should have chopped off his head just like I did with Sun Qian!!"

[Huang Zhong, the garrison commander of Changsha, went to Gong'an from Changsha. Liu Wu appointed him as the governor of Changsha, in charge of the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang...]

Huang Zhong also surrendered to Liu Wu!
Liu Bei's face became increasingly ugly, and his hands almost tore the silk letter apart…Back then, when Wei Yan killed Han Xuan and offered Changsha City to him, Huang Hansheng was still putting on an act and feigned illness to stay at home.

It was only after I, Yunchang and Kongming personally went to his house to invite him that he agreed to work for me.

Now, not only did he surrender to Liu Wu without hesitation, he even ran all the way from Changsha to Gong'an in person to meet that rebellious son!

He was arrogant at first but respectful later, like two completely different people!!
The governor of Changsha, in charge of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang...

Among the four counties in southern Jing, Huang Hansheng was in charge of the affairs of three counties. It was indeed a very high official position, higher than the one he held under his command.

In order to win people's hearts, that little beast Liu Wu is really willing to spend money!
No wonder when I, Liu Xuande, occupied Changsha, you, Huang Hansheng, made excuses and refused to leave your home to serve me.

Now that Liu Wu has just occupied Gong'an, you should go to meet that rebellious son in person without any hesitation...

It turns out that you complained that the official position I gave you was too low.

Liu Bei looked at the contents of the secret letter on the silk with a cold expression on his face: "Huang Hansheng is already sixty years old. For such a little fame and official position, he even gave up his dignity and integrity and betrayed his master to join Liu Wu!"

"How shameless and shameless!"

Uncle Liu suppressed his anger and continued reading:
[Liu Wu appointed Mi Fang as the governor of Lujiang, and Mi Zhu, formerly the assistant to the left general, was promoted to the position of assistant to the governor...]

The snow-white silk slowly fell to the ground from Liu Xuande's hands.

The Mi brothers also surrendered?
No, this is impossible!

The Mi brothers had already bet the entire Mi clan on him, and he was also his wife's brother-in-law.

Anyone can surrender Liu Wu.

They are the only ones who cannot surrender!
I must have seen it wrong! I must have seen it wrong!
Liu Xuande hurriedly picked up the silk letter that had fallen to the ground and read it again word by word. However, the neat official script was like a sharp blade piercing Liu Xuande's heart...

It’s down!

Mi clan really surrendered to Liu Wu!

I was still counting on Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to come find me with their family wealth and help me make a comeback and regroup... Now it's all over.

Tap tap tap! ~
Liu Bei staggered, took a few steps back, and fell down behind the desk.

"The governor of Lujiang, the official of Jingzhou..." Uncle Liu's mouth was full of bitterness.

Liu Wu is such a cruel little beast. He is the Zhizhong Clerk, in charge of all the documents in the Cao department. His status is second only to Beijia, which is equivalent to the deputy governor of a state!
After all, the Mi family was just a merchant family. Even when he was in charge of Jingnan, he did not dare to grant the real high position to the Mi brothers in order to avoid criticism.

In order to win over the Mi brothers, did Liu Wu even offer them such a high position as Zhizhong Shigong?

The Mi brothers had followed me since I was in Xuzhou. Even when I led my people across the river, they never betrayed me in those critical moments when my life was in jeopardy...

But now, he has betrayed his country and sought fame and fortune in front of the high position given by Liu Wu!

It turns out that their so-called loyalty to themselves was just because others did not give them enough before. As long as they were given enough, just like when facing Liu Wu, they would betray themselves without hesitation!

"The Mi family of Xuzhou!" Liu Bei's knuckles creaked, and his anger towards the Mi brothers was like the surging river outside the boat: "As expected, they are merchants, only interested in profit!"

In addition to his anger, Uncle Liu's mind was already in a mess.

Jian Yong surrendered Liu Wu,
Huang Zhong surrendered to Liu Wu.

Even the Mi brothers, whom he relied on the most, surrendered to Liu Wu...

Liu Xuande has always been famous for his benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty. Is he going to end up being deserted by his friends and relatives now?

"Eat milk! Wuuu wuuu... Adou just wants milk! Just wants milk!!" When Liu Xuande was feeling panic-stricken, Adou's cries for milk became louder and louder.

While crying and wailing, A-Du rolled around on Mrs. Mi's chest, making a lot of noise like a meaty winter melon.

Mrs. Mi was extremely helpless and could only gently stroke Adou's back: "Be good, Adou, we will soon reach Jianye."

"Once we get to Jianye and land, I'll immediately look for wet nurses for you. I'll find you two so you can eat as much as you want."

Adou's fat legs kicked wildly: "I want it now! I want it now!!"

The sharp wails caused Mrs. Mi's head to ache slightly.

The last of her patience with Adou was running out, and the loving affection in her eyes that she had shown to Adou before was now completely replaced by irritation and annoyance!
call! ~
The snow-white and tender hands suddenly rose into the air, as if they wanted to fall towards Adou's butt!
Mrs. Mi had never felt so eager to make Ah Dou's childhood complete as she did at that moment...

But there is someone who is faster than Mrs. Mi!

"Useless evil creature!" Uncle Liu rushed to Madam Mi, grabbed Ah Dou with his knee-length arms, and threw him to the ground angrily...

"Uncle Emperor, you can't do that!"

Madam Mi was horrified, but it was too late...

Adou only heard his father's loud angry shouts and Aunt Mi's frightened attempts to stop her.

Before he could react, he felt his body lighten, and a huge force slammed him onto the deck!

boom! ~
Amidst the dull roar,
Adou fell to the ground,

A sharp pain came from Adou's butt.

Madam Mi was stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes. Uncle Liu, who always doted on Adou, actually threw Adou to the ground? ! !

Ah Dou was also stunned. Looking at his father with eyes full of anger, he almost forgot the pain in his buttocks, but instantly remembered what Liu Wu had said to him outside Xiling City...

"Wow!~Father, you threw me down!" Ah Dou burst into tears, his snot and tears pouring into his mouth: "You threw me down again. You threw me down and made me stupid at Changbanpo!"

"What Liu Wu said is true! You really did throw me down!!"

It would have been fine if Adou hadn't mentioned Liu Wu, but as soon as he mentioned Liu Wu, Liu Huangshu's forehead was throbbing with veins: "What's wrong with me throwing you?!"

"I'm your father! What's wrong with me throwing you?!"

"What's wrong with me throwing you down at Changban Slope?! You evil creature, are you also going to imitate Liu Wu in being so rebellious and disobeying your father?!"

Adou rolled over on the ground and cried even harder: "Father, you admitted it! You finally admitted that you threw me!"

"You..." Looking at Ah Dou rolling on the ground, thinking that this was the prince he had chosen, Uncle Liu's hands were shaking with anger: "It's just as my third brother said, you useless Ah Dou, get out! Get out now!"

"Just get out! Wow..." Adou wiped his tears, swung his short legs and rushed out of the cabin.

"Huff!~" Uncle Liu was breathing heavily, his anger still on his face.

Mrs. Mi held the teacup and approached Liu Bei cautiously: "Uncle, calm down. Ah Dou is still a child after all..."

Snapped! ~
Liu Xuande waved his sleeves violently, and the teacup was swept to the ground and shattered all over the floor!

He looked at Mrs. Mi with bloodshot eyes, and vaguely seemed to see the shadows of the two brothers Mi Fang and Mi Zhu again...

Liu Bei's fierce eyes frightened Madam Mi: "Uncle, I...ah!"

The voice has not fallen,

Uncle Liu pushed Madam Mi onto the couch and said, "Take off your armor!"

Take off, take off the armor? !
Mrs. Mi on the couch was stunned.

Liu Bei was breathing heavily: "I said take off your armor, didn't you hear me?!"

Madam Mi finally understood what Uncle Liu meant, and she felt embarrassed and anxious: "My husband, this is in broad daylight, this is not good..."

Liu Bei: "Take off your armor! Take off your armor! Take off your armor!!"

Seeing that Liu Bei's eyes were about to bite someone, Madam Mi didn't dare to refuse anymore. She could only untie her belt in grievance. The white jade-like luster flashed before Liu Bei's eyes...

Liu Bei: "Take it off again! Take it off again! Take it off again!!"

Mrs. Mi's face turned red. Although she was not from a family of scholars, she was from a wealthy family in Xuzhou after all. She was well-educated and well-mannered since childhood. How could she have been humiliated like this?

But the person who was humiliating her was her husband, so she had no right to refuse...

Mrs. Mi's tears of grievance fell like pearls.

Each piece of underwear fell like petals.

Soft jade, warm fragrance, endless spring scenery.

Liu Xuande shouted loudly: "Unload it again! Unload it again!"

"Take off the breastplate too!!!"
