Chapter 28 Liu Wu’s identity is revealed, and an earthquake is about to occur in Jiangdong!

Chapter 028: Liu Wu’s identity is revealed, and Jiangdong is about to be shaken!

Outside Xiling City, the Jiangdong delegation was riding their horses towards the river.

"Drive!~"

Lu Su rode as fast as he could, his heart agitated. He wanted to return to Jiangdong immediately to meet the Marquis of Wu and inform him of his plan.

If his plan succeeds, the situation on both sides of the river will inevitably become more and more favorable to Jiangdong.

Once Cao Cao's second southern expedition was frustrated and Jiangdong controlled Xiling, Jiangdong would no longer have to worry about the rear, and the Marquis of Wu could focus on attacking Hefei and have a chance to go north to challenge for the throne. If this were the case...

"My old friend from Qu'a, why not meet me?"

At this moment, a hurried shout from the front interrupted Lu Su's thoughts.

He looked up in surprise, and saw a figure stumbling and chasing after a figure on horseback by the river. However, the figure's legs could not catch up with the horse's legs, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther. However...

But why did the shouting sound so familiar? The figure was also quite familiar.

Lu Su was still in a daze.

The attendant at the side almost thought he was dazzled: "Mr. Zijing, that person, that person seems to be the Grand Commander Gongjin?!"

Zhou Gongjin?
That person is actually Zhou Gongjin? !

Lu Su was stunned. He quickly whipped the horse under his crotch, and the horse accelerated forward. The figure in front became clearer and clearer... It was indeed Zhou Yu!
……

Jiangdong Grand Commander Zhou Gongjin, covered in mud and water, walked with difficulty to chase after the horseman's back that was getting farther and farther away in front of him.

Zhou Yu was in a state of disgrace at this moment. How could he still have the heroic spirit to destroy Cao Cao's army of 800,000 with just a smile and a wave of his hand?

But he didn't care about that at all.
He just wanted to see the young general from Qu'a again.

He just wanted to find out the other party's identity.

In the past, this general was able to monopolize the Twelve Rivers of Jiangdong, and now he can even break down the city gate single-handedly!

If such a brave general could be used by the Marquis of Wu, he would be even more powerful. If he were to become the enemy of Jiangdong...

Zhou Yu tried his best to chase him, but the other party was riding a horse at full speed, so how could he catch up?

Looking at the increasingly blurred figure in front of him, Zhou Yu stopped in disappointment. After all, this old friend from Qu'a didn't want to see him again.

"Grand Commander? Why has it come to this?" A surprised voice sounded behind Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu looked back and saw Lu Su and Lu Zijing riding their horses towards him with dazed looks on their faces.

It was no wonder that Lu Su lost his composure. It was because Zhou Yu was covered in mud and looked too embarrassed. Even if Sun Quan was here in person, he probably wouldn't recognize that the person in front of him was Zhou Yu from Jiangdong.
Lu Su had already dismounted and walked quickly to Zhou Yu. "I am under the order of the Marquis of Wu to cross the river to negotiate with the thief who kidnapped the princess and Gan Xingba. Why do you look like this, Gongjin?"

Zhou Yu sighed and shook his head: "I also crossed the river to investigate the enemy's true strength, but I didn't expect to meet an old friend... who is really important to me."

An old friend who was very important in the past?

Lu Su asked tentatively, "But who was the person Gongjin was chasing just now? Who is that person and why is he so worthy of the Grand Commander's affection for him?"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "If I am not wrong, that man is the Xiling commander who kidnapped the princess."

"Only that man has such courage and martial arts to kidnap the princess, take Gan Ning away, and occupy Xiling!"

That person is the Xiling commander whom he had never met before? !

Lu Su suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where the riders had disappeared, but there was no trace of them at all.

"Zijing!"

Zhou Yu grabbed Lu Su's sleeves and said solemnly: "Something big is going to happen on both sides of the Yangtze River! Once this happens, I'm afraid it will shake the entire Jiangdong army!"

Over the years, Zhou Gongjin was not the only one who could not forget this young general.

The twelve generals of Jiangdong back then are still reluctant to mention the battle of Shentingling. If they knew that the commander of Xiling City across the river was the young general of Qu'a back then, how could they sit still?

event?

Hearing these two words, Lu Su subconsciously grabbed Zhou Yu's sleeve and said, "Something big is going to happen on both sides of the Yangtze River. I came to Xiling City to come up with a plan! If this plan succeeds, Jiangdong's great cause will be in sight!"

The two people said these two sentences one after the other.

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other in surprise.

"What is the big deal that Gongjin is talking about?"

"What is Zi Jing's grand plan?" The two asked almost at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time.

Zhou Yu was hesitant. Few people knew the inside story of the Battle of Shentingling, and he was the only one who knew that the commander of Xiling was the young general of Qu'a back then.

If these two things were to be leaked out, it would probably lead to hostility from the people of Jiangdong towards Xiling City. Now that the princess and Xingba are both in Xiling City, Jiangdong should not act rashly.

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu, who was silent, with his eyes flickering.

Zhou Gongjin was his good friend and had great insight. If he told him his plan, he would definitely be able to find out the loopholes and fill them in for him.

However, judging from Gongjin's previous expression, he seemed to have a close relationship with the Xiling commander, and his plan was to target the Xiling commander. If he told this plan to others, it would be bad if Gongjin secretly obstructed it.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and then they spoke again at the same time:
"Zijing, this is a serious matter. You and I should return to Jiangdong as soon as possible!"

"Gongjin is right. Hurry back to Jiangdong and report to the Marquis of Wu!"

……

Jiangling is an important town in northern Jiangsu.

After Cao Cao was defeated at the Battle of Red Cliffs, he sent his trusted general Cao Ren to garrison the city.

At this moment, there was silence in the central military tent of Cao's camp in Jiangling. Only the sound of the generals flipping through bamboo slips could be heard. That was the information brought by the scouts.

Cao Hong sat behind a large desk, his brows slightly furrowed.

A lieutenant bowed and reported: "Last night, the battle report came in, Xiling City was captured by the enemy."

Xiling City was lost!

The generals frowned, Xiling City was an important place to intimidate Jiangdong. As long as Xiling City was still in the hands of Cao's army, Cao's army could go down the river and rush to Jiangdong at any time!
But now that Xiling has been lost, Cao's army wants to avenge the Battle of Chibi, and Prime Minister Cao wants to attack Sun Quan again, but it will be very difficult.

The captain continued to talk: "According to the spies, the enemy troops that captured Xiling City did not raise any flags, so we don't know who was behind this."

"We only know that the enemy army took Xiling in less than a day! General Wen Pin fled with only a hundred cavalrymen and risked his life..."

Before the lieutenant had finished speaking, many generals had already started to make noises: "Xi Ling controls the gateway to Jiangdong and is across the river from Jiangdong. Who captured Xi Ling? Is there any need to ask?"

"Wen Pin is such a loser. There are 5,000 guards in Xiling City, but he is still defending the city. It's impossible that he can't hold out for even a day!"

"The Jiangdong bandits are too rampant. Do they really think that we won't dare to take action just because they won the Battle of Red Cliff by chance?!"

"These Jiangdong thieves dared to attack Xiling today, and they will dare to attack Jiangling tomorrow! General Zixiao, ask the Prime Minister for a fight."

The big tent was noisy and filled with anger.

Those stationed in Jiangling were all Cao Cao's elite troops. After the Battle of Chibi, they had been holding their breath and wanted to avenge their previous humiliation.

Upon hearing that Dongwu had invaded Jiangbei again, the generals could no longer suppress their anger and calls for war arose everywhere.

"Xi Ling is an important place..."

Cao Ren's voice rang out slowly, and all the noise in the big tent disappeared instantly. He glanced at the generals: "Prime Minister Cao will definitely make a decision."

"Jiangling is very close to Xiling. If there is a major war, you generals will be the vanguard! Generals..."

There was an unconcealable chill in Cao Ren's voice: "The day when we can avenge the defeat at Red Cliff is not far away!"

In the Battle of Red Cliffs, the 800,000-strong army was defeated by the young Zhou Yu. It was a great shame for all Cao's troops, and even more so for Cao Ren!
Before the generals could speak, a hurried voice rushed into the tent: "Report! Urgent order from Xuchang!"

A messenger knelt down in front of Cao Ren and said, "The Prime Minister has sent out 80,000 troops from Xuchang to attack Jingxiang again!"

"The Prime Minister has ordered General Zixiao to be the vanguard! General Zixiao is ordered to mobilize all the troops in Jiangling and attack Xiling directly!"

coming!

As expected, it came!!
All the generals in the big tent were filled with excitement. The time to avenge the humiliation of Red Cliff has finally come!
Instantly, burning gazes were cast on General Cao Ren...

boom! ~
The gate of Jiangling city burst open, and a large number of soldiers rushed out of Jiangling city like a roaring tide!

The densely packed long spears, like a moving forest, point straight to the sky.

The iron-blooded and murderous aura dispersed the white clouds in the sky.

Yellow dust rolls and flags cover the sky!
this day,
Cao Ren sent all 30,000 troops from Jiangling and attacked Xiling directly!
Under the central army's banner, Cao Ren looked at his deputy general and asked, "How many days will it take from here to Xiling?"

Deputy General: "General, the army can reach Xiling in three days."

Cao Ren's eyes flickered coldly: "Okay! Three days later, I will personally take the head of that Xiling thief and present it to the Prime Minister!!"
