Chapter 063: Liu Wu is the son-in-law of Jiangdong! The hat is still put on Liu Bei!

Across the river,

The Jiangdong navy tent was brightly lit.

Taishi Ci's voice trembled with excitement: "...Now Cao Mengde has been captured by the commander of Xiling, and Cao's army of tens of thousands of soldiers is leaderless!"

"Grand Commander, our fighter planes are here!"

call! ~
Zhou Yu's sleeves fluttered, causing the breeze to disturb the candlelight and flicker: "Yes, the battle plane from Jiangdong has arrived..."

According to Jiangdong's original plan, no matter who wins or loses between Cao's army and Xiling, as long as the outcome is determined, it will be time for the Jiangdong navy to take action.

But now, the situation is changing in favor of Jiangdong!
Cao Cao was captured alive by the Xiling garrison commander? !

Tens of thousands of Cao's troops have lost their commander, and they are like tens of thousands of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. As long as the Jiangdong navy comes ashore, they can directly pursue Cao's troops and beat them hard!

By then, the Jiangdong army will chase after Cao's defeated soldiers and even go straight to Xiangyang...

Zhou Yu's breathing became rapid. Will the great cause of Jiangdong, which has been governed by three generations of hard work, finally succeed?

"Haha..." Zhou Yu suddenly laughed.

Taishi Ci was startled: "Why is the Grand Commander laughing?"

Zhou Yu couldn't seem to suppress the curve of his mouth: "My Jiangdong cause is about to be accomplished, but I have to thank that old friend from Shentingling."

Thank you, my old friend from Shentingling?
Taishi Ci was a little slow to react.

Zhou Yu said leisurely: "If this old friend had not captured Cao Mengde alive first, even if Cao's army was defeated, we would have only driven Cao Cao all the way to Xiangyang."

"If Cao Cao wins, we can only stay here and attack the city with all our might. We don't know how many soldiers will be killed or injured!"

"Now that Cao Cao has been captured, the Cao army is about to collapse!"

"It's time to roar tonight!"

"It is our best if we can appease and delay Cao Ying's civil and military officials tonight so that nothing unexpected happens!"

"But once the day breaks, they will surely collapse!!"

"Then we will take advantage of the situation and go ashore to pursue him. It will be as easy as walking on flat ground, and I don't know how much effort will be saved... In this way, does that old friend deserve our thanks?"

Originally Zhou Yu and the other generals of Jiangdong were still sighing over the fact that their old friend was about to die at the hands of Cao Cao, but unexpectedly, the situation was reversed in a blink of an eye.

If the generals guarding Xiling had not captured Cao Cao alive, how could Jiangdong have achieved the God-given great cause it is today?
Taishi Ci grinned and said, "What the Grand Commander said is very true. If our Jiangdong cause is accomplished, this old friend will be the first contributor to Jiangdong!"

Zhou Yu did not hesitate, and turned to look at Taishi Ci: "Zi Yi, pass on my military order, all soldiers, board the ship immediately!"

Taishi Ci: "I obey your command!"

Looking at Taishi Ci's disappearing back, Zhou Yu said to himself: "I must report the incident here to the Marquis of Wu as soon as possible."

Wow! ~
A blank bamboo scroll unfolded, reflecting the warm candlelight.

Zhou Yu sat at his desk and wrote quickly: "I bow before the Marquis of Wu: The situation in Xiling, north of the Yangtze River, has suddenly changed..."

"The commander of Xiling was extremely brave. When he fought against Cao Cao, he led his troops to break into Cao Cao's central army and captured Cao Cao alive. Now, the tens of thousands of Cao troops in Jiangbei are leaderless and are about to collapse!"

"I think that now that the situation has changed, the strategy for Jiangdong should also change. I should lead the army ashore to pursue the Cao army's defeated soldiers, and then take Xiangyang and Fancheng, seize the entire territory of Jingzhou, and then threaten Luoyang and other important cities..."

"My lord, please lead your troops to Hefei immediately, take all the land south of the Huai River, and take advantage of the Huai River to capture Xuchang! You can fight for the Central Plains!"

"If the two armies march north, the great cause of Jiangdong will be accomplished now..."

call! ~
The night was dark, the wind was howling, and the river was surging.

The Jiangdong navy on the other side of Xiling was noisy with all its lights on.

"The Grand Commander has ordered all soldiers to board the ship! Head for the center of the river!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get on board! Get on board quickly!"

"No one needs to stay in the camp!"

On the river bank, densely packed boats gathered.

The small ones are only about ten feet long, while the big ones are as majestic as hills!

A large group of Jiangdong soldiers, armed with spears and weapons, quickly boarded the ship under the illumination of torches that stretched like a dragon.

"Raise the sail!"

Wow! ~
Sails of all sizes rose into the sky, the river wind howled, and small boats and large ships all headed towards the center of the river, leaving only the traces of water waves following behind the boats.

On the river, on the top floor of the leading ship.

A dim light was lit as Grand Commander Zhou Yu closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was in turmoil.

He recalled the ambition he had when he and the former lord Sun Ce opened up Jiangdong.

He thought of the place where the current Marquis of Wu was in charge of Jiangdong, and the elders and powerful generals of the aristocratic families were ready to make a move.

He recalled the situation not long ago when, despite winning the Battle of Red Cliffs, Jiangdong was still trapped in this southeast corner.

The three generations of Jiangdong built their foundation with great difficulty!

Looking north to the Central Plains is even more difficult than waiting for the sky!
But now, God has finally given Jiangdong the opportunity to compete for the Central Plains through the hands of the old friend of Shentingling...

"Grand Governor!"

Taishi Ci strode into the cabin and said, "The navy has reached the center of the river. Please give orders, Grand Commander!"

Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes.

boom! ~
He suddenly stood up, his huge shadow filling the entire cabin: "All fleets lower the sails and stay still..."

"We will wait until the first light of dawn for the army to land on Jiangbei!"

"Go straight for Cao's defeated troops!"

……

Cao’s army, main camp.

The cold wind was howling, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it seemed like it was going to snow again.

Cheng Yu rode his horse slowly to the gate of the camp. Cao Hong, along with his advisers and generals, escorted him all the way.

"Zhongde." Cao Hong looked at Cheng Yu and spoke slowly: "Once you leave, the life of the Prime Minister will be in your hands. The future of all the civil and military officials of the Cao family will also be in your hands!"

"please!"

After saying this, Cao Hong led all his counselors and generals and bowed to Cheng Yu.

Outside the gate, there was complete silence, with only the figure of Cao Hong leading the civil and military officials to pay their respects to Cheng Yu.

Just as Cao Hong said, with Cao Cao captured, not only the survival of tens of thousands of troops here was uncertain, but the future of those counselors and generals who were attached to Cao was also uncertain.

In recent years, Cao Cao has swallowed up the north and dominated the world. Although his power is unstoppable throughout the country.

But there are more enemies lurking in secret, including Sun, Liu, Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc. outside, and the nobles and Han officials inside, they are all waiting!
Waiting for an opportunity to counterattack Cao!

But right now...

The opportunity they have been waiting for may very well come.

If Cheng Yu could save Cao Cao, everything would be fine. If he couldn't save Cao Cao, I'm afraid that very few people present would have a good ending in the future.

Cheng Yu was going to shoulder the future of the entire Cao camp. Cao Hong led all the civil and military officials to pay him a respect. He really deserved it! Immediately,

Cheng Yu looked solemn and bowed in return: "Cheng Yu, I will live up to your trust!"

Xilulu! ~
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu turned his horse around, jumped on the horse and whipped it.

Rushed to the battlefield where the fighting had lasted for days,
Heading straight to Xiling City...

……

……

Just as night fell, heavy snow fell on both sides of the river...

Xiling City, inside the county residence.

Hundreds of soldiers stood guard outside, not allowing anyone to come in and disturb.

The fire in the room was burning brightly.

The heat is steaming.

"quick!"

"Bring another basin of hot water! Quickly!"

"cloth!"

"Golden wound medicine..."

"Is the herbal medicine brew over there ready?"

There were at least six or seven doctors working non-stop. They looked tense and had sweat dripping from their heads.

Not only because they had never encountered someone injured to this extent, but also because if anything happened to the person they treated today, they would all die! They would all be buried with him!
Snapped! ~
A crisp sound was heard, and it was the arrow being thrown into the copper basin.

The two arrows have been pulled out, and together with the two previous arrow wounds, there are four wounds in total, all of which have been re-applied with medicine and bandaged.

What made them shudder the most were the more than ten scars on Liu Wu's body, each one of them extremely hideous and horrible to look at.

Lu Xun, Wei Yan, Gao Shun and others who were guarding on the side couldn't bear to watch.

Sun Shangxiang started crying as she watched. God knows what Liu Wu went through this time when he went out.

This lasted for an hour before the doctors finally had some free time...

"How's Zilie?" Wei Yan couldn't sit still any longer.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes full of ferocity, and scared all the doctors so much that they couldn't stop trembling.

Lu Xun looked indifferent and did not stop him...

At this moment, in order to save Liu Wu's life, he would even kill all these doctors.

Without threatening their lives, Lu Xun was really afraid that these people would not do their best to rescue them.

Because they can only accept one result, that is, Liu Wu is safe and sound!
"Don't worry, General Zilie, no, my master is out of danger!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Yan, Gao Shun, Lu Xun and other leaders of this newly formed small group all breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor was afraid that they would not believe him, so he continued, "I have been practicing medicine for half my life, and I have never seen anyone injured to such an extent. The four arrow wounds on the lord's body alone are enough to be fatal, not to mention the dozen or so hideous injuries. The lord probably has nine broken bones..."

"However, the Lord's blood and energy are so strong that even at this point, his vitality and pulse are still far beyond that of an ordinary person, so he managed to hold on!"

"The lord should wake up in three to five days at the shortest, or half a month at the longest. However, he still needs to stay in bed for a hundred days before he can barely walk. He will be able to recover like a normal person in a year or two. However, it is hard to say whether the lord's physical condition can be restored to the previous level of heaven..."

"It's okay!" Wei Yan waved his hand: "As long as he can act like a normal person, it's enough. Zilie is the master after all, he can't always fight to the death."

Gao Shun stood up and said sadly, "Wen Chang, you and I risked our lives following Zilie, and we finally made it through this desperate struggle!"

Wei Wenchang nodded.

Just then,
Liu Wu, who was lying on the bed, moved his fingers slightly.
Then, the eyelashes began to flutter slightly...

After a moment, Liu Wu opened his eyes slightly!
The field was silent.

Everyone was stunned and stared at him blankly...

pain!
Severe pain!

Every part of my body hurts.

Liu Wu took a deep breath and felt extremely weak.

An unprecedented feeling of extreme tiredness came over Liu Wu, and he couldn't help but want to close his eyes and continue to sleep, but he couldn't!

"Cao Cao..."

Liu Wu uttered two words with great effort, his voice weak and feeble.

Before everyone could react, Lu Xun rushed forward and asked, "My lord, do you want to see Cao Mengde?"

Liu Wu: “Yes…”

Lu Xun immediately ran out of the room and shouted, "Quick, let Gan Xingba bring Cao thief here!"

Immediately, a personal guard received the order and rushed to the cell in the snow.

After shouting this, Lu Xun turned back immediately!
When I returned to the room, I saw everyone gathered around the bed, and Liu Wu's eyes were closed again, motionless.

"My lord!" Lu Xun rushed over with tears in his eyes.

Snapped! ~
Wei Yan held Lu Xun down with one hand and whispered, "What are you doing?! Zilie said he needs to rest first!"

Lu Xun immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Boyan was really scared to death just now!
Suddenly, Liu Wu's eyes slowly opened again: "Bo Yan..."

Lu Xun hurried forward and bowed, saying, "My lord, I'm here!"

Liu Wu: "Cao Cao..."

Lu Xun: "Not yet, but soon, it will be there! My lord, why don't you take a rest first..."

Before Lu Xun finished speaking, he saw Liu Wu's lips began to move slightly. Lu Xun stopped immediately and heard: "Bo Yan..."

Lu Xun: "My lord, I am here!"

Liu Wu: "Revising the book..."

As he spoke, Liu Wu raised his eyes and looked at Sun Shangxiang.

Lu Xun immediately understood what he meant and had already pulled out the bamboo slips. He made a final confirmation: "My lord, do you want to write a letter to Jiangdong regarding the princess's matter?"

Liu Wu: "As a son-in-law..."

Lu Boyan exhaled: "Huh!~"

Then he sat down and began to write at the desk in the room. At this moment, Lu Xun's heart was filled with emotion!
Initially, I was a palace attendant sent by Jiangdong to Liu Bei, but now I am going to Jiangdong to propose marriage on behalf of my lord!

The princess is still the same princess, and the eunuch is still the same eunuch in the end!
But the groom...

Although Lu Xun didn't say it, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Alas, in the end, this hat was finally put on Liu Xuande!"
