Chapter 015: Report! Gan Ning, the most powerful general in Jiangdong, is here!

"Back! They're back!"

"The lord is back! General Wei is back!"

Da Da Da~
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in the city looked at the armored figure with fanaticism on their faces.

They were looked down upon and excluded everywhere by Liu Bei. Not to mention making great achievements, it was even a luxury to be able to stay there in peace and stability.

Now, they follow their new lord and they are making achievements on the battlefield again!
They witnessed with their own eyes Liu Wu's heroic feat of breaking through the city gate on his own.

This is what they experienced personally. With only two thousand people, they easily captured Xiling City, which was garrisoned by five thousand people.

They are willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for such a lord!

They are willing to follow such a lord, through fire and water!

With such a lord, in this vast land, north and south of the Yangtze River, in this great Han Empire, where can they not go? !
In this battle, Liu Wu quietly and completely won over everyone's hearts.

Under the awe-filled gazes of everyone, Liu Wu proudly rode his horse into the city and headed straight for Wen Pin's mansion in the center of the city.

"Lord."

As soon as Liu Wu entered the palace, Gao Shun came to report to him the spoils of the battle: "In this battle, we captured 4,000 soldiers guarding the city."

"There is plenty of food and fodder, enough for our people to eat for half a year."

"In addition, there are various weapons and armors. We found a lot of gold and pearls in Wen Pin's private residence..."

Gao Shun reported to Liu Wu in detail all the spoils of this battle. The result of capturing Xiling City was enough to support Liu Wu's army.

As long as there are people, land and food, Liu Wu can gain a foothold in this country!

Liu Wu listened to Gao Shun's detailed report and suddenly said, "Select one thousand young and strong soldiers from the four thousand soldiers and reorganize them into the army. The rest will be transferred to five hundred miscellaneous soldiers and put into the baggage camp."

Although he had captured Xiling City, Liu Wu was very clear-headed. He knew that this was only the first step in his great cause.

After all, Xiling City was Cao Cao's territory before. Now that I have taken Boss Cao's city, Boss Cao will definitely not remain indifferent. Now it is more important to strengthen the military first.

Gao Shundang understood Liu Wu's meaning: "I understand."

Suddenly, Liu Wu changed the subject: "Where is Lu Xun now?"

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then he said, "It seems that the Jiangdong Lu family member is on the city wall with the princess."

Liu Wu nodded, then got up and left the house.

Xiling City has been taken by me, now it’s time for me to [collect the debt]...

……

call! ~
The sun had risen to its highest point at this moment, and the strong river breeze blew onto the top of Xiling City.

The wind from the river blew, filling Lu Xun's wide robe and sleeves.

Looking at the tall figure standing proudly in front of him, Lu Xun had a complicated expression. He never expected that in less than a day, the man in front of him actually captured the Xiling City with only two thousand people.

This person was really hard for him to understand.

Lu Xun remained silent. Sun Shangxiang, who was standing beside him, looked at the handsome young face opposite her and her own face turned red.

"I have already captured Xiling City. I wonder if you still keep the promise you made to the river?" Liu Wu said calmly.

Lu Xun did not hesitate and raised his head proudly: "Of course I will do it. The Jiangdong Lu family will never break their promise."

"From today on, I, Lu Xun, will be your number one counselor!"

Lu Xun's voice was full of calmness. The new master he served was extraordinary. With the assistance of this talented Lu family expert, he might be able to achieve great things. "First counselor?" Liu Wu frowned slightly. "But you are from Jiangdong after all. Whether you are sincere in assisting me is still unknown. We need to observe you for some time."

Lawrence Lu, who was ambitious just now, was stunned. He blurted out subconsciously: “Then, how long do you want to investigate?”

Liu Wu: "Let's see."

Liu Wu's answer was ambiguous, and Lu Xun's high spirits instantly dropped a little.

Suddenly, Lu Xun seemed to remember something: "But...but I am a direct descendant of the Jiangdong Lu family after all, and the Marquis of Wu thinks highly of me. If Jiangdong comes to ask me to go back, what should I do?"

The more Lu Xun thought about it, the more troubled he became. He kept muttering to himself, "After all, I am the Lu family's talented horse, the future pillar of the Jiangdong Lu family, and I am also highly valued by the Marquis of Wu."

"If I don't come back, the elders in my family will definitely put pressure on Wu Hou to return the person. If Jiang Dong comes looking for me, I will break my promise if I go back. I won't go back..."

Liu Wu was too lazy to listen to Lu Xun's chatter, so he turned around and went down the city wall. Even if Sun Quan came in person, Lu Xun could not leave, let alone someone from Jiangdong.

"Stop talking nonsense, everyone has left." Seeing that Liu Wu had left, Lu Xun was still muttering to himself, and Sun Shangxiang was speechless.

She lay on the top of the city wall, looking at Liu Wu's back below the city wall, and her mind couldn't help but recall the experience of last night...

The morning star and the waning moon, the river is shrouded in fog, and we sneak across the mighty river on a raft!
This thrilling feeling was something Sun Shangxiang had never experienced in her life. She would never forget it. If she could have it again in the future...

Sun Shangxiang's mood suddenly became depressed. She was afraid that she would never have such a feeling again in the future.

Lu Boyan said that Jiangdong would definitely come to find him and he would definitely go back to Jiangdong at that time.

But what happens after we go back?

Continue to marry Liu Huangshu? Or continue to stay in Jiangdong and play war games with those maids? These two things are more boring than the other.

Sun Shangxiang suddenly felt that being trapped in Xiling City was not bad at the moment. At least it was much more interesting than marrying that old man Liu Huangshu.

And there's that guy who's even braver than Lu Fengxian...

Thinking of Liu Wu, Sun Shangxiang's mind reappeared the scene of her chin being hooked. Her face was burning again and she covered her face in shame and anger.

"Lu Boyan, why didn't he come to see me? I was right behind you just now, and he didn't even say a word to me." Sun Shangxiang covered her face with her hands, and subconsciously there was a hint of complaint in her tone.

Lu Xun, who had been lying on the top of the city wall at some point, looked surprised and asked, "Why didn't the princess go talk to him?"

"Why should I go and talk to him?!" Sun Shangxiang became more and more embarrassed and angry.

Lu Xun: "Why does he seek to talk to the princess?"

"I..." Sun Shangxiang opened her mouth and lowered her voice: "I am a girl, I am embarrassed."

Lu Xun said confidently: "Then my master, he must be embarrassed too."

Sun Shangxiang was so angry that she thought this Lu Jia Qianliju was really a fool and it was impossible to reason with him!
Lu Xun shook his head and began to worry about his own affairs again: "Alas, if the people of Wu Hou really want me to go back, what should I do?"

"I can't break my promise in Xiling City, but I still have two concubines at home. They will definitely miss me. Princess, please help me think of a solution..."

……

Thump thump thump! ~
Outside Xiling City, a rider on a flying horse galloped straight towards the city gate.

The guards had already noticed the movement and shouted with their spears in hand: "Stop!"

Xilulu! ~
With a neigh, the horse stood up.

The person on the horse is Gan Ning!
He no longer concealed his identity and revealed it directly to the new master of Xiling City: "Report this to your master immediately..."

"At the command of Marquis Wu of Jiangdong, General Gan Ning is here to see the Princess of Jiangdong!!"
