Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 617 Liu Bei's Escape
"Look, my lord, it's the Soochow Navy coming over." Liu Bei and the others had just come out of the dock in a boat, when a soldier looked at the distant river and said to Liu Bei beside him.

"Has the Jiangdong water army finally entered the battle? It's just that our Jiangxia has been captured by Lu Bu, so they came a little late." Seeing the Jiangdong water army, Guan Yu next to Liu Bei said a little angrily.

"Second brother, Jiangxia is not our place. If you lose it, you will lose it. You don't have to worry about it." Seeing that Guan Yu still couldn't let go of the previous battle, Liu Bei said.

"My lord is right. Since Xia Houdun and Cao Ren harbor evil intentions, Jiang Xia will not be able to stay there sooner or later." At this time, Zhao Yun also leaned over and said.

"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong." At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of Gudong Gudong, which sounded beside them, and they were all taken aback, not understanding what happened.

"It's not good, there are water ghosts digging the boat." At this moment, Zhou Cang on the next boat roared, and only then did everyone understand what happened. When everyone looked at the bottom of the boat, they saw Small holes are appearing in the originally flat transmission, and sharp objects are piercing through it.

"Quickly, send someone into the water to kill the water ghost." Seeing this scene, Liu Bei was a little flustered and said hastily.

"Take someone to take a look." As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, he heard a splash, and someone jumped into the river. This person was none other than Zhou Cang who first discovered the water ghost chiseling the boat.It's just that after Zhou Cang was launched into the water, the other soldiers not only agreed with each other face to face, although some of them were familiar with water, but they must be a minority. Usually sailing on the river is not a big problem, but if you really want to Fighting with water ghosts in the middle of the river is not their forte.

"Those who know how to swim, go down to kill water ghosts, and those who don't know how to lie on the side of the boat, stab me with the weapon in your hand." Seeing that only a few people jumped into the water, Liu Bei became even more anxious. The army has already fought with Cai Mao's water army, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while. If they want to escape from the hands of these water ghosts, they still have to rely on themselves.

"My lord, there are many water ghosts in the river, let's protect the lord first." Just then a human head appeared in the water, it was Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang yelled to Liu Bei as soon as he surfaced.After speaking, Zhou Cang took a deep breath and dived down again. After that, he saw streaks of bright red emerging from the water, and he didn't know whether it was the blood of his own people or the blood of the enemy.

"My lord, let's go first, I'll leave it to my subordinates to resist for a while." At this moment, seeing the situation getting more and more critical, Zhao Yun bowed his hands to Liu Bei, took off the armor on his body and threw it aside, followed by a fierce attack Just plunged into the water.

"Grandma, when did this kid know how to swim?" Seeing Zhao Yun jumping into the water, Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said.

"When I was in Xinye, I saw Zhao Yun practicing swimming in the river, and it seems to be useful." After speaking, Guan Yu threw aside his Qinglong Yanyue Saber, and jumped into the water.

"Second brother, when did you know how to swim?" Seeing Guan Yu also jumped into the water, Zhang Fei was even more helpless. It turned out that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had seen Jingzhou before and felt that sooner or later they would have to fight on the water, so they both learned to swim. Although it can't be said to be proficient, it can still shuttle back and forth in the water.

"General Xiahou, I have asked the soldiers to find some fishing boats from the surrounding fishermen's homes. Let's catch up." At the same time, Cao Ren on the shore pointed to several fishing boats not far away and said to Xiahou Dun.

"Okay, let's go." After saying that, Xiahou Dun quickly rushed to the fishing boat with his soldiers, and chased in the direction where Liu Bei's boat was going.

Not long after, I saw bloodstains on the river, corpses floating on the surface of the river, and blisters still popping up in a farther place, obviously someone was still fighting.

"Come here, let me catch it with a fishing net." Seeing that there were no corpses of Liu Bei and others among the corpses on the river, Cao Ren looked a little ugly, and said hello to the soldiers behind him.Naturally, some of these soldiers knew how to fish, so they lowered their fishing nets along the bubbling waters, and soon many people were caught.Of course, most of these people are Cao Ren's own subordinates.

"Grandma, with so many of you, why did you let Liu Bei run away?" Seeing his useless subordinates, Xiahou Dun became furious. He had promised Lu Bu, but now he couldn't catch Liu Bei. It's really hard to explain.

"General, although we failed to catch Liu Bei, we caught Zhao Yun." Seeing that Xiahou Dun was furious, a soldier pointed to a soldier beside him who was caught in a fishing net and was lying on the side of the boat after drinking a lot of river water The man spitting water said to Xiahou Dun.It turned out that Zhao Yun took the initiative to undertake the work after the break so that Liu Bei and others could escape.It was precisely because Zhao Yun did not leave that Xiahoudun's water ghosts could not touch the boat Liu Bei was on.

"En? Zhao Yun, this can be explained." Seeing that Zhao Yun was really caught, Cao Ren felt relieved.

However, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others took a boat and rushed all the way to the Jiangdong soldiers and horses. When they came to the Jiangdong navy, the boat had already flooded, and it was about to sink into the water.

"My lord, is it you? Hurry up, my lord." Seeing Liu Bei and others coming from the sinking ship, Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked for help, and finally rescued Liu Bei and others.

"My lord, what happened, why did this happen?" Seeing Liu Bei and others in such a mess, Zhuge Liang frowned and asked hastily.

"Hey, it's hard to say." Seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei sighed, and looked like he was about to cry.

But Guan Yu on the side told Zhuge Liang exactly what happened.

"So that's the case. I didn't expect Lu Bu to have such a trick. On the surface, he let Zhang He and Cai Mao enter the army, but in fact he had other preparations." After listening to Guan Yu's words, Zhuge Liang had to let out a sigh.

"No, since Lv Bu had already made preparations, Zhang He's soldiers and horses were just a trick to lure soldiers. Could it be that Cai Mao's soldiers and horses are also a trick to lure soldiers?" Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of a situation that made him feel a little bit like a soldier. Shocked, he quickly raised his head and looked at the battlefield on the river in front of him. Now the Jiangdong navy and Cai Mao's navy have already fought, and the scene is extremely fierce.Zhuge Liang turned around and looked in other directions. Seeing that there were no other sailors, he felt a little relieved, and then he said to himself: "I hope everything is in time." After speaking, Zhuge Liang quickly asked Lu Su to come over to discuss important matters.

"Mr. Zhuge, the commander-in-chief is currently supervising the war. I wonder if Mr. Zhuge has something important to tell you." When he came to Zhuge Liang, he saw Liu Bei and other people. Lu Su couldn't help but frowned and asked Zhuge Liang.

"I have two things to do. I want to ask General Lu Su for help. The first thing is to ask Mr. Lu Su to transfer the jumping ship and send my lord away. I don't know if it is convenient for the general." Seeing Lu Su coming, Zhuge Liang said.

"You and I have formed an alliance, and we are both our own people. It is a trivial matter to transfer a ship. I will let someone do it. Sir, please talk about the second thing." Wen also knew what happened, so he nodded and agreed.

"This second matter, I should have said to Zhou Yu in person, but the governor has always had a prejudice against me, and the governor may not listen to what I say, so I can only ask the general to pass it on." Zhuge Liang saw the boat transferred by Lu Su Before he arrived, he sold a pass and said.

"Sir, if you have something to say, let's say it directly." Now that the battle on the river is going on, Lu Su didn't want to say anything more to Zhuge Liang, so he spoke directly.

"Lv Bu has already arrived in Jiangxia. I'm afraid that Cai Mao's navy is just Lu Bu's trick to lure the enemy. Please tell the general to tell the governor Zhou Yu to be more careful." Seeing that the boat that Lu Subo gave him had arrived, Zhuge Liang While boarding the boat, he bowed his hands to Lu Su and said.

"Uh, if that's the case, I'll go see the governor right away." Hearing the news that Lu Bu had arrived in Jiangxia, Lu Su immediately turned around and left to report to Zhou Yu.

"My lord, let's start the boat, let's go." Zhuge Liang came to the boat and said to the soldiers. The boat, which only carried Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, turned and headed for the distance.

"Military Master, where should we go now?" Liu Bei sighed and asked Zhuge Liang.

"Is the military going to take us to Jiangdong?" Guan Yu, who was beside him at this time, also speculated.

"Jiangdong Zhou Yu has no good intentions for our army. It will be difficult for us to develop in Jiangdong. Although He and Sun Quan are nominally an alliance, our strength is too weak, and Sun Quan will not take it seriously. For the present plan, we only have Go up the river and go to Yizhou. Liu Zhang in Yizhou was attacked by Zhang Liao, and there are not many generals in his hands. If the lord flees, Liu Zhang will definitely entrust him with a heavy responsibility. After we drive out Zhang Liao, we can occupy Yizhou, and then It will not be too late to move troops eastward to take Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang touched his chin with his hand, and then said.

"For today's plan, we have no choice but to do so." Liu Bei nodded for a while, expressing his agreement with Zhuge Liang.

"Mr. Pang Tong, Zhou Yu's offensive is becoming more and more fierce. If we continue like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist. I see it's time to break through." Seeing that although his soldiers and horses rely on the river bank to fight, they must be very different from Zhou Yu's navy. , Cai Mao said to Pang Tong worriedly.

"Hehe, now that my lord has captured Jiangxia, why should the general rush to lead his troops to break through? If the general can persevere, he will be pleasantly surprised." Seeing Cai Mao's anxious expression, Pang Tong chuckled and said.

"Sir, what do you mean, the Lord Regent has other arrangements? It's just that I haven't heard of it?" Cai Mao said hesitantly after hearing Pang Tong's words.

"Hehe, although the King Regent has many troops, he has little pride. Although the target of this battle is only Liu Bei, the King Regent will do his best in every battle. Presumably, he will have someone behind him." Pang Tong slightly Smiled, and then spoke.
