Chapter 296: Sun Quan comes to Hefei again!
【Thinking of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, since they have become brothers, they will work together to save the poor and the needy;】

[Report to the country and bring peace to the people! ]

[I don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, I only wish to die on the same day of the same month of the same year. ]

【The heavens and the earth, truly witness this heart. 】

[Those who betray their loyalty and forget their gratitude will be killed by both heaven and man! ]

What does it mean that even though we are brothers, we should work together?

Guan Yu guarded Hefei for Liu Wu, and Zhang Fei guarded Hanzhong for Liu Wu at Jianmen Pass.

Where is Liu Bei?
What does it mean to rescue the poor and the needy, report to the country, and bring peace to the people?
Is this how Liu Xuande saves the poor and the needy, serves the country, and brings peace to the people?
The vows made at the beginning have now become a joke.

joke……

Looking at Zhang Yide's figure on the Jiange, Liu Xuande knew that he would not be able to pass this level no matter what.

He will never be able to leave Bashu again in his life.

The so-called ambitions were truly wasted at this moment.

Once you enter Bashu, it is difficult to leave.

He will have to live in the dark land of Shu for the rest of his life...

"Yide, please release Meng Huo."

"How can I bear to fight with you?"

"I'm going back to Chengdu now..."

After saying this, Liu Xuande turned his horse around and slowly returned.

Meng Huo escaped from Zhang Fei's hands and led the remaining barbarians to catch up with Liu Xuande.

The endless stream of soldiers at the Jianmen Pass turned around and followed Liu Xuande back south.

later,

According to the history of Shu, it is recorded that on this day, Liu Xuande, the head of the Cheng family, walked five miles away, looked back at Jianmen, sighed deeply, and then burst into tears and sobbed.

All the soldiers of Bashu shed tears when they heard it, and all those who listened to it were sad.

……

……

Jiangdong,

South bank of the river,

A long fishing rod groove cast out a fishing line.

There was a cushion placed on the ground. Sun Zhongmou, the lord of Jiangdong, sat down and started fishing.

Time passes little by little,
The sun moves slowly over the sky,
It's been over an hour...

No fish caught yet...

Sun Quan began to get impatient and reeled in the hook several times, filling it with bait and throwing it out again.

Then there were no fish to take the bait...

Sun Zhongmou became more and more upset, feeling that he had lost face...

Just then, someone came over.
"Your Majesty is so leisurely. The whole world is in turmoil and all forces are getting restless, but my master is here leisurely fishing."

"Excuse me, sir, how many fish have you caught?"

Sun Quan replied to himself: "The fisherman's interest is not in the fish, but in the fishing."

“Whether you can catch fish or not is not important. What’s important is the state of mind when fishing.”

"Look, although I didn't catch any fish in the river, I did catch Zijing on the river, didn't I?"

Hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help but burst into laughter: "My lord, this is sitting on the Diaoyutai."

"Whether it's Liu Xuande or Cao Mengde, they can't sit still any longer."

Sun Quan turned around and asked: "How is it?"

Lu Su reported: "Liu Xuande led his troops to the north to attack Hanzhong, but met Zhang Fei at Jianmen Pass and returned."

"Cao Mengde has divided his troops into two groups, one on each side, and is marching towards Kunyang. He is currently confronting Wei Yan's troops in the north of Jing. A major battle is imminent."

"Cao Hong, Yu Jin and others have led tens of thousands of troops from Shouchun to the south and are approaching Hefei..."

"My lord, Cao Cao has invited you to attack Hefei together, and the emperor has also written to you asking you to put justice first and not join forces with Cao Mengde. You have not taken any action so far. Who are you going to listen to?"

"Who should I listen to?" Sun Quan smiled, then stood up: "I can't listen to either of them, and they are not important. Counting the time, the important people will be back soon..."

"Never mind, there is still some action to be taken."

"In case something happens, my little sister will complain..."

As he said this, Sun Zhongmou dropped his fishing rod and went up on deck.

The King of Wu raised his banner high, fluttering in the river breeze. About a hundred warships followed him, sailing upstream...

A few days later,
Hefei.

outside the city,

Cao Ying’s massive army has arrived.

Cao Cao's 50,000 troops on the eastern front were led by generals including Cao Hong, Yu Jin, and Man Chong.

It is not far from Shouchun to Hefei, but this army marched very slowly in order to wait for Sun Quan.

Cao Cao believed that Hefei City was too tempting for Jiangdong and Sun Zhongmou would not be able to resist.

But it seems that things have gone beyond their expectations.
Sun Quan's Jiangdong navy has been quiet...

"Guan Yu is a fierce general of the time. In the past, he killed Hua Xiong with a cup of warm wine. He fought against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. We must not underestimate the enemy."

"Besides, there are still 20,000 defenders in Hefei..."

"If the Jiangdong navy arrives, the two sides will be able to encircle the city together and win. I really don't know what Jiangdong is thinking!"

The generals discussed it.

Cao Hong sneered and said, "Humph, Jiangdong rat, maybe he knew that Liu Bei had withdrawn his troops from Jianmen, so he didn't dare to go up."

"Well, let's just ignore Jiangdong."

"As the King of Wei said, if Jiangdong sends troops, we can help them."

"If Jiangdong doesn't send troops, then we will take Hefei!"

"Let's set up camp. The crescent blade is sharp, but our swords are not as sharp as it!"

Say it,
The generals led their troops and rode away in all directions, each leading their troops to set up camp in the area north of Hefei city.

that night,

Guan Yu watched from the city wall and saw the endless array of Cao's military tents with waving torches.

He stroked his long beard and said, "I'm afraid Cao's army has no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses."

There were two men on each side of him. The one on the left was a general. "Yun Chang, I, Zhang Liao, am highly valued by the King of Wei. I can defend Jiangdong for you, but it is difficult to fight against the generals in Cao's camp."

Guan Yu nodded: "What are you talking about, Wenyuan? How could I force you?"

"The Cao army is a great enemy, and we have myself and Mr. Xu Shu here."

"Well, I will give you 800 soldiers and horses, and you will patrol the south bank of Hefei and guard against enemy attacks."

"It's not so bad if Cao's army is using swords and spears openly. It's easy to dodge open spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. The rats in Jiangdong love to be stabbed the most..."

Zhang Liao said nothing more, led 800 soldiers and horses, and went out of the city to patrol the south.

……

On Chaohu Lake in the south of Hefei!

The moonlight was shining brightly, pouring down onto the lake. A ship passed by, creating ripples on the water.

More than one hundred warships, carrying two to three thousand soldiers from Jiangdong, rushed across the river.

Slowly approaching the shore.

On the commander-in-chief's ship, the King of Wu's flag was hoisted high, and Sun Zhongmou on the deck looked heroic at this time.

Hefei,

Here he comes again.

The previous several times they came were all to attack Hefei.

now,

But he came here to protect this city.

"Back in Xiangfan, I just showed up and frightened Xiangyang garrison commander Lu Chang."

"We helped Liu Wu capture the important city of Xiangyang without bloodshed."

"Now that I have arrived, even if Cao's army has 100,000 soldiers and horses, they have no choice but to retreat!"

at the same time,

Zhang Liao, who was patrolling on the shore, naturally discovered the traces of this fleet of ships.

I also saw the royal flag...

"Could it be that Sun Zhongmou came in person?"

"What a bunch of Jiangdong rats! Yunchang was right. They really came here to be stabbed!"

"Let me hide my troops in ambush, and as soon as he comes ashore, we will charge in. Maybe we can capture Sun Zhongmou alive..."
