Chapter 26 Seeing my old friend again, Zhou Gongjin! (Additional chapter for my brothers who support me!)

Chapter 026: See you again, my old friend, Zhou Gongjin!

"Sooner or later, Cao Cao will go south again to retake Xiling. Our strength is still too weak compared to Cao Cao. Jiangdong is our last way out."

"Sun Shangxiang is the princess of the Jiangdong Sun family, and Lu Xun is the direct descendant of the Jiangdong aristocratic Lu family. With these two people, if we can't stop Cao Cao's army, we can take them downstream and go straight to Jiangdong to avoid Cao Cao's edge."

At this point, Liu Wu's voice deepened: "At that time, as the son-in-law of the Jiangdong Sun family, and with Lu Xun negotiating with the Jiangdong nobles on my behalf, I had Jiangdong change its name from Sun to Liu... I might have had a chance."

Lu Su wanted to use Liu Zilie as a sword to fight against Cao Cao, and seize the important area of ​​Xiling without spending a single soldier.

Didn't Liu Wu also want to use the Eastern Wu as a shield to resist Cao Cao's army in the most dangerous moment, and then take advantage of the situation to seize his Jiangdong base?

Man plots against the tiger, and the tiger also plots against man.

It just depends on one's own ability.

Gao Shun listened to Liu Wu's plan and did not expect that his lord had thought so far ahead. The worry in his heart finally eased a little.

"Whose boat is this?"

Suddenly, Liu Wu pointed towards the river.

I saw a small boat suddenly stopped on the shore and drifted with the river.

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and reported: "My lord, this should be Lu Su's ship from Jiangdong."

Liu Wu didn't care and continued walking forward.

Gao Shun followed closely behind, still expressing his doubts: "My lord, you have foresight. The Jiangdong nobles are all profit-seeking people. If you lure them with huge profits, nothing is impossible."

"However, Sun Quan, the ruler of Jiangdong, is indeed a great man of the time, and he is assisted by Zhou Yu and Lu Su, one a military and the other a scholar. If you want to accomplish great things, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult with these three people around."

When Cao Cao led an army of 800,000 to the south, the Jiangdong families wanted to surrender one after another. Only Zhou Yu and Lu Su firmly supported Sun Quan in going to war, which led to the great victory in the Battle of Chibi and saved Jiangdong for the Sun family.

Just as Gao Shun said, if the time comes to seize the Jiangdong base, these three people will definitely be the biggest obstacles.

Liu Wu nodded and said, "Retreating to Jiangdong is the worst option. We should not use this option unless it is absolutely necessary. If we really want to go to Jiangdong, we must get rid of Zhou Yu and Lu Su."

"Besides, speaking of it, I am an old acquaintance of Jiangdong people."

Gao Shun was startled and blurted out: "Does Jiangdong also have old friends of the lord?"

Old friend from Jiangdong?

Liu Wu's mind flashed with past scenes, and he shook his head gently: "It's old, not worth mentioning."

As soon as he finished speaking, an excited voice suddenly came from behind Liu Wu: "It's been so many years since we last met, and I didn't expect it to be you?!"

"Who is it?!" Gao Shun turned around suddenly, drew his sword and protected Liu Wu.

In an instant, dozens of soldiers who were accompanying him held their spears to block Liu Wu.

Liu Wu turned his head to find the sound.

I saw a man in white robe on the boat just now. He was handsome and heroic, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was handsome and elegant.

It was the Jiangdong naval and land commander, Zhou Yu!

The river wind is strong,

On the bow of the ship, Zhou Yu stood facing the wind, with his sleeves fluttering.

Under his wide sleeves, his hands, which had never trembled when he issued orders to annihilate Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army, now trembled involuntarily.

The blood in my body seemed to be boiling.

My emotions at this moment are churning, far more violent than the wind in the river.

It's him!

It must be him!
In a trance, Zhou Yu returned to many years ago...

At that time, the little tyrant Sun Ce used the jade seal left by his father to exchange for troops from Yuan Shu!

Since he traveled across Jiangdong and conquered everywhere, his reputation has spread far and wide.

Until that battle,
In Qu'a,
At Shenting Ridge, Sun Ce met Taishi Ci.

And he, Zhou Gongjin, met the person in front of him back then, the person who left a shadow on him for the rest of his life...

... [I still remember the fierce battle of Qu'a back then,]

[Sun Ce is fully dressed, holding his spear and mounting his horse, looking back at his generals, and leading Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, a total of thirteen riders, to raid the formation! ]

[Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, said: "This must be Sun Ce's plan to lure the enemy. We should not pursue him."]

[Taishi Ci jumped forward and said: "If we don't catch him now, when will we catch him?"]

【Liu Yao could not stop it.】

[Taishi Ci donned his armor, mounted his horse, and rode out of the camp with his spear in hand, shouting, "Follow me if you have the guts!"]

[All the generals did not move, except for one young general who said, "Taishi Ci is a truly powerful general. I can help him!"]

The sound of drums and horns faded away, and the face of the young general Naqu A once again overlapped with the person in front of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu never dreamed that when he was about to cross the river to Xiling to see the villain who kidnapped the princess and took Gan Ning away, he did not expect that this villain was actually the young general from Qu'a back then!

No wonder he dared to rob the princess of Jiangdong.

No wonder he was able to break into the city and capture Xiling on his own.

No wonder Gan Xingba couldn’t last more than three moves under his hands!

All of this makes sense. Zhou Yu still remembers the fierce battle that year...

That day on Shenting Ridge, Sun Ce and Taishi Ci fought with spears in hand.

The spear in Sun Bofu's hand was like a giant python turning over, and Taishi Ci riding a horse and holding a spear was like a poisonous dragon spitting out its tongue.

The two men fought in a group, full of murderous intent and a chilling chill.

The two men rode their horses and fought at the same time, and for a while there was no clear winner.

The twelve generals of Jiangdong could no longer hold back and rode their horses forward to help Sun Ce in the battle.

Suddenly, a sharp halberd blade came whizzing!

Xilulu! ~
The brutal aura on the halberd's blade frightened the twelve generals so much that their horses stopped moving forward.

Everyone looked up...

one person,
A halberd,
Rein in the horse and stand.

That childish face was so eye-catching at that time.

"This kid doesn't know how to live or die. Let's get rid of him first, and then help the lord!"

The twelve generals rushed forward together.

Woo! ~
Twelve kinds of weapons smashed down on the young general's head fiercely, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air almost pierced people's eardrums.

clang! ~
Amidst the deafening sound, the halberd firmly blocked the attacks of twelve kinds of weapons!

In an instant, the halberd soared into the sky like a dragon, baring its fangs and claws! He was actually fighting against twelve people alone, blocking the twelve Jiangdong generals who were coming to help Sun Ce.

Ding ding ding! ~
The twelve weapons collided with the halberd again and again.

With every collision, the moves of the Jiangdong generals would become more chaotic.

With every collision, the Jiangdong generals could not help but take a step back with their horses.

With each collision, some of the Jiangdong generals were injured.
Amid the flashing of swords, the blades of spears, and the tips of lances, the Twelve Generals of Jiangdong became more and more frightened and more and more desperate as the fight went on.

The twelve generals followed Sun Ce in traveling across Jiangdong and were very famous. All the heroes in Jiangzuo were at their mercy. But today, they were blocked by a young man and could only retreat, not a single step forward!
boom! ~
The halberd swept across and Zhou Yu fell off his horse, but he immediately climbed back on and thrust forward with his spear again, gritting his teeth.

But what greeted Zhou Yu was another fall off his horse. He got back on the horse and fought again!
This is nine times!

Zhou Yu fell off his horse nine times and got on again nine times!

From day to dusk, the fight seemed to have no end...

This young general clearly had nine chances to take his life, but he let him go nine times!
Zhou Yu will never forget that despair, that humiliation, that powerlessness in his entire life!

At this moment, looking at the young general of Qu'a back then, the chief general of the rebel army who occupied Xiling in front of him, Zhou Yu felt that his breathing was suppressed.
