Chapter 056: Liu Wu’s identity was completely exposed, and Sun Shangxiang was stunned!
Xilulu! ~
Hearing the sound of horses neighing outside the tent, everyone finally realized that Liu Wu was going to charge into Cao's army alone in order to gain a chance of survival for Xiling City!
"My lord, it won't come to that!"
"Zi Lie, dismount first, and we will discuss it later!" Wei Yan and Gao Shun rushed out of the tent in a hurry, grabbed Liu Wu's reins tightly, and prevented the horse from moving forward.
The two men were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads. If Liu Wu was not there, what would be the point of defending Xiling City?
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the whole Xiling City was covered in white. Liu Wu stood in the wind and snow astride his iron horse, standing still despite the cold wind and heavy snow.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the two of them: "General Gao, General Wen... after Gan Ning rushes out of the city, you two should surrender the city to Cao Mengde. I have already written a letter to Cao Cao, and he will not embarrass you two."
Zilie has thought of a way out for everyone, but he is unwilling to find one for himself!
Wei Yan and Gao Shun felt their throats blocked. They wanted to say something but couldn't. They could only hold on to Liu Wu's reins tightly.
"My lord!" Lu Xun rushed into the snow and hugged Liu Wu's horse's head tightly. He said in a hoarse voice: "Now there is still hope for life, my lord, why are you doing this?"
Lu Boyan had finally met a wise leader in his life, but now he had to watch this wise leader die outside Xiling City. How could he be willing to accept this?
Sun Shangxiang, who was still in a daze, stumbled in front of Liu Wu's horse. She looked at Liu Wu with tears in her eyes and said, "Since Xiling City cannot be defended, why can't you come back to Jiangdong with us?"
"I am the Princess of Jiangdong. My second brother loves me the most. You have such martial arts skills. If you come with us to Jiangdong, my second brother will definitely keep you safe. You... do you really want to throw your life away outside of Xiling City?!"
Correct!
Go to Jiangdong!
As long as the lord goes to Jiangdong, there will be a way to survive.
Everyone who had stopped Liu Wu looked at him expectantly.
call! ~
The cold wind blew faster and faster, and the crystals fell all over Liu Wu's hair. Liu Wu actually laughed: "Why am I here? Why don't I go to Jiangdong?"
"Lu Boyan!"
Liu Wu looked at Lu Xun and said, "I just want to ask you one question: why didn't Xiang Yu cross the Yangtze River?"
Why didn’t Xiang Yu cross the Jiangdong River?
Wei Yan, Gao Shun and others were all stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
In the snow and wind, Liu Wu's voice could faintly hear the sound of swords clashing: "Because there is only the Overlord of Western Chu who died in battle!"
The bravery of Yu is unparalleled throughout the ages!
He fought more than seventy battles in his life, and he was always victorious in every attack and battle!
At Julu, he burned his boats and defeated the 400,000-strong Qin army with only 50,000 men, breaking the last backbone of the Qin army!
In Pengcheng, he pursued the enemy northward, and defeated Emperor Gaozu's 500,000 troops with only 30,000 troops, forcing Liu Bang to push his children out of the car and escape for his life!
In Dongcheng, he repelled thousands of troops and fought back 5,000 Han cavalrymen with only 28 cavalrymen!
Despite his bravery, he chose to commit suicide by slashing his throat at the Wu River rather than live in disgrace...
There was silence in the field. Lu Xun understood what Liu Wu said. He shook his head and sighed, tears streaming down his face: "Yes, how could the Overlord be willing to be inferior to Emperor Gaozu?"
How could the Overlord be willing to be under Emperor Gaozu? How could Liu Zilie be willing to be driven by mediocre and incompetent people?
In the heavy snow in midwinter, Lu Xun's words seemed to have aroused the long-suppressed anger in Liu Wu's heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Boyan, Wen Chang once told me that you guessed my identity, you guessed my identity a long time ago...
"Yes, my name is Liu Zilie, my name is Liu Wu!"
The lord is indeed Liu Bei’s eldest son!
Even though Lu Xun already had some guesses in his mind, he was still shocked when he heard Liu Wu acknowledge his identity with his own ears. Who could have imagined that the brave general who defeated Cao Ren's 30,000-man army and resisted Cao Mengde at Xiling was actually the son of Liu Xuande?
Even the snow and wind could not suppress Liu Wu's voice: "Back then, he claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty and looked down on those who sold pigs and dates. It was I who persuaded him that those two were heroes and not mediocre people. That's why he was able to recruit Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tiger and Bear generals!"
"When Tanxi was in danger, I wore a white robe and braved the rain of arrows to rescue Liu Xuande. But in the end, I spread the news of [Lu Shenyi, the hero who saved the Lord of Heaven's destiny!]
"He visited Zhuge Liang twice, but Zhuge Liang refused to see him twice. It was I who knelt in Longzhong for three days and three nights, and moved Kongming. That's when he got the Longzhong Plan and invited Zhuge Liang to come out!"
"After the Battle of Chibi, he took advantage of the situation to seize the four counties in southern Jing, but he failed to capture them after a long siege." Liu Wu pointed at Wei Yan and said, "It was because Wen Chang and I swore an oath of blood and became brothers that Wen Chang...that's why he was able to easily capture the four counties in southern Jing!"
"It was because of me that I went to Jiangxia to make Liu Qi [die suddenly], and only then did Liu Xuande secure control of the four counties in southern Jing and have the hope of controlling the entire Jingzhou!"
Over the years, Liu Wu has done countless things for Liu Bei and helped Liu Bei gain fame and benefits, but no one in the world knows about Liu Wu's contributions.
At this moment, in the heavy snow, he finally spoke out these things and made them public!
The howling wind and the flying snow seemed to carry Liu Wu's voice even further: "For him, I have been in danger all these years. I have been displaced and escaped death. I finally managed to survive. I finally helped him find a place to stand after the Battle of Red Cliffs..."
"But Liu Bei actually wanted to make the seven-year-old Liu Chan his heir, and forced me to recognize that seven-year-old child as my master!"
"He would rather establish the useless A Dou than me, Liu Wu!"
"I don't want to be Liu Bei's lackey in the Public Security Bureau, and I don't want to be a lackey anywhere else!"
"I, Liu Zilie, really can't cross Jiangdong!"
There was silence in the field.
Apart from the sound of wind and snow mixed with the lingering voice of Liu Wu, there was no other noise.
Liu Xuande's reputation was actually built up by Liu Wu alone? !
fake!
What people said about Liu Xuande's courtesy to the wise and his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness were all false!
Who could have imagined that Liu Bei's powerful generals Guan and Zhang, who were envied by all the princes in the world, were actually made possible by Liu Wu?
Who could have imagined that while the world was amazed at Liu Xuande's destiny, it was Liu Wu who saved him when he jumped over Tan Creek?
Who could have imagined that Mr. Wolong, who was known as "If you can get the world, you can get the Dragon and the Phoenix", was actually the one that Liu Wu asked Liu Bei to come out of seclusion?
Who would have thought...
Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang's heads were buzzing at this moment.
They stood in the snow in a trance. Liu Wu stripped Liu Bei of all his glory, and the impact it had on them was almost indescribable.
The image of Liu Bei in Sun Shangxiang's mind was completely shattered at this moment. Lu Xun was completely confused. Liu Xuande had a heroic son like his master, who had made great contributions and was very talented, but he wanted to establish a seven-year-old child as his heir. Was he crazy? !
Sun Shangxiang, who was standing in front of the horse, was stunned in her place, her mind was blank...
He is the son of Liu Xuande, he is actually the son of Liu Xuande!
Sun Shangxiang had guessed Liu Wu's identity countless times, but she never dreamed that the person who kidnapped her on the day of her wedding to Liu Bei was actually Liu Bei's eldest son?!
Although Gao Shun and Wei Yan already knew the inside story, they remained silent when they heard Liu Wu bring it forward again.
Everyone was still lost in thought when suddenly...
Xilulu! ~
"drive!"
Suddenly, Lu Xun felt a strong force coming at him, and he was pulled to the side from his horse's head. Gao Shun and Wei Yan also staggered backward involuntarily.
A shadow flashed over the head of Sun Shangxiang who was standing in front. It turned out that Liu Wu rode his horse directly over her head.
"My lord, no!"
"Zi Lie..."
Everyone reacted and hurriedly tried to stop Liu Wu again, but it was too late.
In the howling snowstorm,
Liu Wu held a painted halberd in his hand and rode on a neighing and roaring iron horse as he charged straight towards the city gate.
The cold wind was howling and the snow was dancing wildly.
This time, I’m trying to survive from death!
……
Gong'an City, the county magistrate's residence.
The performances of various operas were still going on in full swing, various gifts were piling up like mountains, and the banquet never stopped.
Adou's birthday is celebrated for three days. Even though it is now the day after Adou's birthday, there is still an endless stream of guests coming to celebrate the birthday of Uncle Liu's beloved son.
Everything in the mansion was bustling, except for Adou, the protagonist of this birthday celebration, who was still crying and making a fuss: "Father! I want my father! Why hasn't my father come back yet?"
Kong Ming, who was sitting next to Adou, could only persuade him: "The lord is fighting the enemy in Jiangling now and cannot leave for the time being. After the enemy retreats, the lord will naturally return to meet you."
Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of helplessness. He could try his best to find various performances for the young master, but he really did not have the ability to call back his lord who was fighting a bloody battle in Jiangling.
"Don't cry, Adou. Your father will be back soon..." Madam Mi took Adou's hand and comforted him, "Last night, I sent someone to Jiangling to find your father. He said he would be back today and he is on his way back now."
Ah Dou was overjoyed: "Really? Can father really come back today?"
Mrs. Mi smiled and said, "Of course."
Zhuge Liang's eyes showed even more helplessness. Mrs. Mi said whatever she wanted to coax Adou. Even if she could appease Adou temporarily, if the lord did not come back, the little boy would probably cry even harder.
In any case, my lord can't be so absurd as to abandon the soldiers in Jiangling and sneak back to Gong'an just to celebrate Master Adou's birthday, right?
Thinking of himself, the great Mr. Wulong, but having to busy himself with trying to coax a child these past two days, Zhuge Liang could only sigh, "My lord, you really gave me a headache-inducing task."
boom! ~
At this moment,
The door of the county magistrate's mansion burst open.
The cold wind blew heavy snow into the mansion.
Zhuge Liang frowned, stood up and walked from the lobby to the eaves, his eyes cast towards the wide-open door...
Snap! ~
In an instant, the feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand suddenly fell to the ground. He looked at the figure standing at the door in amazement. That figure was actually his lord, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, who was supposed to fight bloody battles in Jiangling!
"Adou, your father is back."
……
At the north gate of Xiling City, the huge city gate suddenly began to tremble faintly and creak...
Outside the north gate.
The drums of war are beating everywhere.
In the distance, tens of thousands of Cao's troops were rushing towards Xiling City like a tide, roaring and rushing, as if they were going to swallow up Xiling City!
The soldiers of Cao's army rushed forward with red eyes. The only thing in their eyes was the Xiling city gate in front of them. They knew that Xiling city would be broken today!
As long as the city gate ahead is opened, Xiling City will be finished.
But no one noticed that the Xiling city gate in front of them was shaking more and more violently...
Go forward!
Go forward again!
The densely packed Cao army soldiers were getting closer and closer to Xiling City.
boom! ~
Suddenly, a low loud noise finally came from the Xiling city gate.
The city gate burst open, and a figure rushed out on horseback, an iron man and an iron horse, Liu Zilie holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji...
