Chapter 021: His identity was revealed, he was Liu Bei’s eldest son Liu Wu!
Who is this lord? !
Lu Xun's eyes were fixed on Liu Wu who was sitting on the main seat.

It is simply ridiculous. After Lu Boyan surrendered to this lord, he was completely in the dark about the other party's identity, let alone his name.

If this gets out, won't we be laughed at by people all over the world?

Wei Yan and Gao Shun both looked at Lu Xun with strange expressions.

It turns out that this newly arrived strategist doesn't even know the name of his own lord?
Liu Wu turned to look at Lu Xun and said in a flat voice: "I am Liu Zilie."

Liu Zilie?
Is this the name of my lord?

Lu Xun stared at Liu Wu blankly, and then what?

Is this gone?

What is the lord’s identity and origin?

Lu Xun had a lot of questions in his mind, but it was obvious that Liu Wu had no intention of answering them for him. He turned around and continued to talk about business: "Now that we have conquered Xiling City, we have our first foothold on both sides of the river."

"We have already established our independence. We can no longer return to Gong'an City or Liu Bei's place, and they can no longer accommodate us."

"General Wen and General Gao are in charge of my army. The two generals need to explain the pros and cons to their men and make sure that the entire army completely cuts off its connection with Liu Bei."

Gao Shun just nodded calmly. Wei Yan, who was sitting next to him, grinned and said, "We finally have a foundation. Who would want to go back to Liu Xuande and suffer?"

"Hehe, Liu Xuande probably never dreamed that Zilie could lead us to occupy Xiling City!"

Just as Wei Yan said, Liu Bei could never have dreamed that Liu Wu not only really fled to Gong'an, but even captured Xiling City, a strategic location at the gateway to Jiangdong.

If Liu Bei knew about this, many of Liu Wu's subsequent plans would certainly not be able to go forward.

Lu Xun, who heard all this, was already in turmoil.

This lord is indeed one of Liu Bei’s subordinates!

Although Lu Xun had suspected from the beginning that Liu Wu and Liu Bei had a relationship, he still couldn't help being shocked when he heard Liu Wu personally confirm it.

Liu Wu's voice continued: "Secondly, although we captured Xiling City, Wen Pin escaped in the end. I think Cao Cao must have known that Xiling City had been lost."

"Xi Ling is a key location for Cao Cao's future counterattack on Jiangdong. Now that we have captured it, Cao Mengde's army will soon attack us. We need to make preparations early, General Gao..."

wow~
Gao Shun stood up and said, "My lord."

Liu Wu: "I want you to repair Xiling City and train the one thousand young and strong surrendered soldiers that we have just gathered."

"Yes, sir!" Gao Shun sat down again.

Liu Wu's eyes turned to Wei Yan: "Chang Wen."

"The general is here!"

"Now that Xiling is weak, we need to do more business with Jiangdong. Therefore, the Jiangdong Princess cannot be released yet. I want to use Gan Xingba to exchange for Jiangdong's captives to strengthen our military resources."

As he spoke, Liu Wu pointed at Lu Xun and said, "Lu Boyan was originally from Jiangdong, but now he is a counselor under my command. We will have to rely on him for our dealings with Jiangdong in the future. Wen Chang should assist Boyan with military affairs."

Wei Yan: "I obey your orders!"

In just a few words, Liu finished issuing military orders. He slowly stood up and glanced at the people present. At the moment, these few people were his entire team, but they were enough for him to deal with the coming storm.

Liu Wu's face was calm: "We have just settled Xiling. From now on, I will rely on you gentlemen."

The three of them stood up solemnly: "We will not let our lord down!"

……

The meeting was over and everyone dispersed and left.

Gao Shun went to arrange the repair of the city and the training of new soldiers.

Wei Yan was assigned to assist Lu Xun, and the two traveled together. Wei Yan did not understand why Liu Wu valued a small escort officer so much, but since Liu Wu had issued the military order, he could only obey it.

All he could do was to be wary of this official from Jiangdong and not let him ruin Liu Wu's plan.

Wei Yan strode ahead, still knocking on Lu Xun's tongue: "Although I captured you, Zilie asked me to assist you, so I will definitely do my best to help you."

"But I'll be frank with you. You are from Jiangdong after all. If I find out that you dare to do anything that is detrimental to Zilie, don't blame Wei Wenchang for being ruthless!"

Lu Xun, who was following behind Wei Yan, had his eyes blank. He didn't hear what Wei Yan said at all. He just kept muttering, "Liu Zilie, Liu Zilie..."

Even after leaving the central military tent, Lu Xun was still subconsciously guessing the identity of his lord.

When my lord led his army to rob the envoys that day, I guessed from the direction they came from and the fine weapons and armor they were wearing that they were most likely related to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's biggest enemy now is Cao Cao. Since the lord and his men had fled from Liu Bei's army, they should have gone to Cao Cao for surrender. But why have they seized Cao Cao's city and occupied Xiling now?
Wouldn't this be disgraceful to Liu Bei and an offense to Cao Cao?
In other words, the lord has no intention of surrendering to Cao at the moment... No, it should be that there is no way for him to surrender to Cao!
"But the lord has kidnapped the Princess of Jiangdong again..." Lu Xun frowned and thought deeply, trying his best to sort out his thoughts.

The princess crossed the river this time to marry Liu Bei. Of course, it was a marriage on the surface, but in reality it was to strengthen the alliance between Sun and Liu.

Now that the princess has been kidnapped, I'm afraid the Sun-Liu alliance will be shaken.

wrong!

Lu Xun suddenly remembered the conversation between Liu Wu and Sun Shangxiang that he had heard outside the city just now. Being the son-in-law of Jiangdong...

I'm afraid the lord's purpose is not just to shake the Sun-Liu alliance. Liu Bei is Jiangdong's ally. The lord wants to use the princess as an excuse to replace Liu Bei and become Jiangdong's new ally.

My lord, your plan is indeed great!
Although Lu Xun was shocked, he still had some confusion in his mind.

This lord had soldiers and generals under his command, and he must have been very powerful when he was under Liu Bei. He ran away from Liu Bei but did not defect to Cao Cao, and even wanted to replace Liu Bei's position as an ally of Jiangdong.

These two things are weirder than each other.

You must know that Liu Bei was Cao Cao's mortal enemy. If any of Liu Bei's generals defected to Cao Cao, Prime Minister Cao would certainly be overjoyed and would welcome him with open arms.

But not everyone is qualified to become Jiangdong's ally.

The lord must have known the pros and cons of this, but why did he still make a choice that seemed incomprehensible to everyone?

unless,

Unless the identity of this lord must be extraordinary!
The identity of this lord was so peculiar that even though he was a general under Liu Bei, Cao Cao could not tolerate him.

It is so strange that even though he is still outnumbered and weak, the Marquis of Wu still thinks that he has the potential to become an ally of Jiangdong.

Lu Xun subconsciously raised his head and looked at Wei Yan in front of him: "Unusual..."

Lu Xun was also aware of Wei Yan's identity. Back then, under the city of Xiangyang, Wei Yan took a huge risk to open the city gate for Liu Bei and was almost beheaded by Wen Pin.

Later, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to surrender Changsha, and it was Wei Yan who killed Changsha's prefect Han Xuan and presented Changsha County to Liu Bei.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wei Yan risked his life to help Liu Bei many times, but now Wei Yan followed his lord to flee to Gong'an.

Perhaps when Wei Yan gave his all to Liu Bei several times, it was not necessarily because of Liu Bei, but more because of Liu Zilie, who was under Liu Bei's command? !
"Liu Zilie..." Lu Xun muttered to himself again.

This lord is so brave, even braver than the three great generals Guan, Zhang and Zhao. Logically, he should not be so unknown. But why have I never heard of such a brave general under Liu Bei's command before?
Liu Zilie, Liu Zilie, surnamed Liu...

Wait, his last name is Liu?!
suddenly!

Lu Xun's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a rumor he had heard before flashed through his mind.

"General Wenchang!"

Wei Yan, who was walking in front, was stunned. He turned around and looked at Lu Xun who was calling him from behind: "What's going on?"

Lu Xun stared at Wei Yan's eyes tightly and said, "General Wenchang, I heard that Liu Xuande has another eldest son besides Adou, named Liu Wu?!"
