Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 61 Sneak across Jiangxia and head straight for Xiling!
"You want me to help you?"

Zhou Yu sneered and mocked:

"In my eyes, you are nothing more than a low-class bandit, a despicable person. What qualifications do you have for me to help you?"

Hearing Zhou Yu's evaluation of him, Lu Bu was not surprised at all:

"I know that Gongjin is from a noble family and would look down on me as a commoner.

“But a golden phoenix can fly out of a chicken coop.

“Although the common people are of humble status, they are the foundation of the country.

“Everything that the aristocratic families have is built on the foundation built by the common people.

"If there were no civilians, would you still be able to live a high-class, rich and luxurious life?"

Zhou Yu was shocked.

I didn't expect that the warrior in front of me could say such profound words.

After a moment of silence, he turned to ask something else:
"Who gave you advice and helped you take over Yidao Port?"

Lu Bu shook his head slightly:

"No one offered any advice, I came up with it myself."

"You thought of that yourself?"

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Bu in surprise, but soon raised his lips in disdain:

"You must have someone behind you helping you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to come up with such a brilliant plan with your brain!"

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't believe him, Lu Bu shrugged:

"If you don't believe it, you can ask among our troops..."

"No need!"

Zhou Yu refused loudly, with a dangerous arc on his lips:

"I advise you to return to Jiangxia as soon as possible.

"Otherwise, your Xiling City will probably be breached in no time!"

"what?!"

Lu Bu's expression suddenly changed.

But he quickly calmed down and guessed that this was the other party's suspicion strategy.

Lu Bu smiled calmly and said:

“You want to invade Jiangxia, unless you enter from Xiakou Port or Yundu County, both of which I have heavily guarded.

"How can you send troops into Jiangxia?"

Zhou Yu laughed sarcastically:
"You don't think that these are the only two ways to enter Jiangxia, do you?
"I grew up by the river, and I know Jiangxia's geography much better than you, a northerner!
“There is a hidden mountain path to the south of Xiling City. Although it is steep, you can still reach the shore.

"Before you set out, Kuai Yue had already led 5,000 elite soldiers.

"According to the time, the troops should have reached Xiling City by now."

Seeing Zhou Yu's confident words, Lu Bu's mood gradually grew heavy.

If what the other party said is true, then Xiling City is in danger!

When he left, he only left 500 people to guard the city.

Because it is an inner city, there is no need to keep too many soldiers.

Moreover, Liu Biao was a tough nut to crack as he had sent most of his troops away.

With only 500 people guarding Xiling, it would be difficult to hold the position against an enemy that is ten times larger than their own!

Lu Bu was unusually flustered, and looked at Zhou Yu with murderous eyes:
"If anything happens to my family, I will kill you!"

Zhou Yu's heart trembled, shocked by the terrifying aura suddenly emitted by the other party.

He replied subconsciously:

“Don’t worry! I will only let them capture the city and will never harm your family.

“Of course, the prerequisite is that you withdraw your troops now, cease fire, give up the Jiangxia area, and release Bo Fu and his Jiangdong generals.

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of your family."

Lu Bu gripped the halberd handle tightly and forced himself to calm down.

If they retreat at this time, they will gain nothing and may not be able to return to Xiling in time.

The only way to ensure the safety of his family now is to capture Xiangyang and capture Liu Biao.

Although I don't have high expectations.

But he still hoped that generals such as Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Wei Xu who were guarding Xiling City could block the enemy's attack and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Knowing that time was running out, Lu Bu had no time to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. He simply swung his halberd and knocked Zhou Yu off his horse, and ordered his soldiers to capture him alive.

Then he commanded his army to fight hard.

Without Zhou Yu's command, the remaining soldiers naturally could not defend themselves and were violently suppressed by Lu Bu in a short time!
As soon as Wulin Port was captured, Lu Bu immediately ordered Gao Shun to lead the Xianzhen Camp on a warship back to Xiakou Port and rush to provide support to Xiling City!

I hope I can get there before the city is captured.

Even if you can't make it in time, you must warn the enemy commander not to attack his family.

Otherwise he would have no choice but to massacre Xiangyang!

Lu Bu suddenly understood why Cao Cao wanted to massacre Xuzhou.

If Cao Cao had real feelings for his father.

It is somewhat understandable that when he learned that his father Cao Song died at the hands of Tao Qian, he wanted to use the lives of all the people in Xuzhou to commemorate his father.

However, Lu Bu did not want things to go to that point, so he immediately gave up the defense of Wulin Port.

Zhou Yu, carrying the captives, drove a thousand surrendered soldiers and more than 8,000 of his own remaining soldiers, and marched non-stop towards Hanjin Port!

……

Xiling City.

As usual, Hao Meng showed off Diao Chan's beauty to several colleagues in the military camp.

At this moment, his subordinates suddenly came to report in a hurry:
"Generals! A large number of soldiers suddenly appeared on the southern bank of the river in Xiling City and are rushing towards Xiling City!"

Hao Meng and others were all stunned for a moment.

I haven't heard that Xiakou Port was breached. Anyone who can appear near Xiling City now should be one of our own people, right?
Cao Xing immediately asked:
“Are these people our own?”

The soldier responded quickly:

"No, no! The word 'Liu' is written on the big banner, it should be Liu Biao's army!"

"what?!"

Several generals stood up in fear.

How could Liu Biao's army bypass Xiakou Port and appear near Xiling City?

"How many troops does the other side have?" Cheng Lian asked, grabbing the soldier's collar.

The soldier replied hastily:

"About 5,000 people..."

"Five thousand people?" Wei Xu's face turned very ugly.

There are only 500 soldiers in their city. How can they resist 5,000 enemy troops?

Moreover, most of the troops have been transferred to the front line now. Xiling City is very short of manpower and food supplies!

Several generals hurriedly mobilized all the soldiers to the top of the city wall.

From a distance, the enemy army was not far from Xiling City.

Wei Xu had a high say because he was related to Lü Bu by marriage, so he immediately said to the other three:

"The enemy is coming with great force, and it is difficult for us to hold on with so few people.

“General Hao Meng, you must immediately lead more than ten riders on fast horses to Xiakou Port to ask for help!
"General Cao Xing, go to the governor's mansion and inform the mistress and the others.

"Take them to a hidden place to prevent them from being captured by the enemy when the city is breached.

"General Cheng Lian, go mobilize the people in the city to help us defend the city!"

"Here!"

The three of them responded at the same time and immediately went to carry out their respective tasks.

Wei Xuze frowned as he watched the enemy army approaching rapidly.

Among the five thousand soldiers, the leader was one of Liu Biao's core figures:

Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue was not just a strategist, he also had strong military command capabilities.

Compared with his cousin Kuai Liang, he was tall and handsome, but he was not a pure military general.

At this moment, he led his army to the foot of the city, looked at Wei Xu on the tower, and loudly urged him to surrender:
"Surrender quickly, and I will protect your life!"

Wei Xu sneered and deliberately delayed time:

"I never thought you could sneak here, you are really amazing.

"But if you want to take over Xiling City with such a small number of troops, let's see if you have the ability to do so!"
