Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2383 Liu Rengui returns to Qingzhou, Wu Zixu disappears

In the successive battles, the brave and invincible Liu Zan was now covered with scars.

However, no matter how many wounds he suffered, he never got any time to rest, not even time to get effective bandages.

Therefore, at this moment, his face was pale, as if he was about to collapse.

In fact, at this moment, with his physical condition, he was only barely holding on by relying on willpower, and he had no fighting power left at all.

However, he still faced death head-on, just like everyone else present.

In the end, despite his peerless strength, he was beaten to death by Huang Tianhua after only three rounds of fighting.

The first blow of the hammer blew the weapon out of his hand.

The second hammer hit the opponent's shoulder directly, causing a permanent comminuted fracture.

The third hammer landed cleanly on the opponent's chest, causing his chest to cave in.

In the novel, Liu Zan is a completely invisible person and he does not appear at all, just like Chen Dao of Shu Han.

But in history, during the entire period of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, apart from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he was the only general who was regarded as a fierce general who could defeat ten thousand enemies.

Liu Zan fell down, and the guards around him also fell one after another, until Zhu Wenzhen was the only one left standing on the entire battlefield.

Looking at the Jin soldiers who were approaching him tentatively, Zhu Wenzhen revealed a miserable smile, and then he placed the sword directly across his neck.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not only his relative, but also the monarch to whom he served with his life.

"He got it easy!" Yang Su, who was standing behind, said with a hint of viciousness in his tone.

Yang Su was an extremely contradictory person. He had a generous side to his character, but he also had a side that would never let go of any flaws.

"Although this guy is hateful, he is also worthy of admiration!" Huang Feihu said regretfully.

However, he could understand Yang Su now.

After all, anyone who has been blocked for almost a year would probably hate him to the core!
With the demise of Zhu Wenzhen's resistance force, from then on, both Jingbei and Jingnan fell completely under the rule of the Jin army.

In the entire south, only the last two counties left were Wu County and Danyang County.

As for the last remaining Wu and Danyang counties, to the south, Qin Qiong's 30,000 troops were eyeing them covetously.

To the west, there are Bai Qi's more than 100,000 naval and land forces.

To the north, Guo Ziyi in the Jianghuai region was about to cross the river.

No one would think that Zhu Biao, who only had these two remaining counties, had any hope of turning the tables.

However, what Chang Yuchun, Huang Feihu, Yang Su and others did not expect was that the situation that followed would be easier than any of them had imagined.

Bai Qi's troops marched eastward with overwhelming force, and they were unstoppable all the way. This was something everyone could have expected. However, Bai Qi's journey was still too smooth.

Along the way in Danyang, countless people surrendered at the sight of Bai Qi's army. County magistrates from all over the place basically opened the city gates and surrendered in panic wherever Bai Qi's troops arrived.

There were even quite a few who had already put up the flags of the Jin Dynasty on the city walls before Bai Qi's troops arrived, as if they were not officials of Zhu Yuanzhang, but officials of the Jin Dynasty.

As for Danyang, there has not been even a trace of resistance along the way.

The entire Zhu Yuanzhang force had few troops left at this time, and everyone had expected this.

After all, after so many battles, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops had been almost defeated. There were definitely not many people left in these two counties, at most only a few tens of thousands.

But, logically speaking, even if the other party is sharpening their weapons at the last minute, they will always be able to come up with a little bit of information!

However, along the way, Bai Qi hardly encountered any soldiers from Zhu Yuanzhang's forces.

Originally, even including Bai Qi, a series of many generals of the Jin army there would think that Zhu Biao had completely given up and simply gave up Danyang and fought stubbornly in the last place of Wujun.

In the situation where the military forces at hand are seriously insufficient, it is better to clench your fists and grasp what you can grasp, rather than disperse your forces and allow the enemy to take advantage of your weak positions and defeat you one by one.

This is actually a normal way of thinking!

However, after Bai Qi led his troops into Wujun, he found that the situation within Wujun was not much better than that in Danyang.

Although some Yangzhou soldiers appeared in some counties of Wujun, Bai Qi could clearly judge that these Yangzhou soldiers were basically new troops and there were very few veterans at all.

Not only that, Wu Zixu, who was originally entrenched on the Yangtze River, also disappeared without a trace at this time.

Also disappearing were Zhu Tianpeng's 10,000 troops who were originally in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Liu Bei's Qingzhou navy.

Qi Jiguang, who was traveling downstream along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, headed all the way toward the estuary after receiving the news from Fu Shui Fang.

Luo Wang's information was very timely. As soon as the enemy navy made any unusual movements, they rushed to pass the information to Qi Jiguang.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang was able to go downstream and fight his way to the estuary as soon as possible.

If the enemy's navy wants to escape, they can't enter the Jianghuai area or the Yangzhou area, right?
Now, these two areas are basically under their control. If the opponent returns to these two areas, it is tantamount to seeking death. And if the opponent moves towards these two areas, he doesn't need to care.

The only thing he could think of was that the other party was preparing to go out of the Yangtze River along the estuary and into the sea, returning to Qingzhou.

However, Qi Jiguang went down the river, out of the estuary, and even along the coastline all the way north. He was almost passing the waters of Xuzhou and was about to reach the waters near Qingzhou when he finally found the enemy's trace.

However, Qi Jiguang discovered from the enemy's scale that what they found was only Liu Bei's Qingzhou navy, while the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses of Wu Zixu and the remaining 10,000 navy of Zhu Tianpeng did not appear here.

For this reason, Qi Jiguang did not give up and further expanded the scope of exploration, searching towards farther sea areas. Even if he could not catch the enemy, he should not be unable to find any trace of the enemy.

However, after searching all the way, they still couldn't find any trace of the other party. It was as if Wu Zixu had disappeared from this world!
