Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 631 Liu Bei Borrows Jiang Xia

"Governor, the frontier is the border of Jingzhou. I don't know how the governor plans to attack Jingzhou?" Looking at the looming river bank in the distance, Lu Su asked Zhou Yu beside him.For the sake of confidentiality, Zhou Yu did not tell others about his specific plan, but just made a general arrangement. He will soon arrive in Jingzhou, and Lu Su is a little impatient.

"Order Lu Xun to lead his troops to attack Jiangxia, so as to provide our army with a springboard to attack Jingzhou. The rest of the troops will follow me and go straight to Xiangyang." Zhou Yu ordered with a serious face.It can be regarded as the answer to Lu Su.

On a wharf by the river outside Jiangxia City, dozens of coolies were loading goods onto the ship. A black-faced man was lying on the deck of the cargo ship, lazily basking in the sun. This man was none other than Liu Bei’s. The third brother Zhang Fei.After the three Liu Bei brothers returned to Jiangxia, they did not stay idle. Instead, they organized the people who had followed them from Xinye, formed a fleet with Liu Guanzhang, Mi Zhu and others as the core, and took over several horses around them. First of all, Mi Zhu was originally a businessman, and he was abnormal about all this, and with Zhuge Liang in charge of internal affairs, Liu Bei's power had grown again in a short period of time. Although he failed to become the master of Jiangxia on the surface, it was indirectly Controlled many businesses in Jiangxia, and even wanted to expand to other regions in Jingzhou.It really made Liu Bei have a rich man's addiction.

At this moment, they suddenly saw a black line approaching on the Yangtze River. The busy workers on the pier were startled at this moment, knowing that there was an enemy coming to kill them.

"Third Master, wake up, it's not good, there is a navy coming." Seeing the navy approaching from a distance, someone hurriedly reported to Zhang Fei.

"Grandma, it's Lu Bu's navy coming again? I'm angry when I see them. If my elder brother didn't let me do it, I would have let them know how powerful I am." Hearing the navy approaching, Although Zhang Fei was cursing, he still stood up, ready to take his men and ships away.These years are in chaos, and if Lu Bu's army confiscates his cargo, Zhang Fei has no place to comment.

"No, this is Jiangdong's navy. Grandma's, what are they trying to do? Could it be that they want to attack Jiangxia? No, this is my brother's territory." After seeing the approaching boat clearly, Zhang Fei turned around. Surprised, he said to the people beside him, "Hurry up and find my elder brother, and tell me that the Jiangdong navy is coming, and ask what to do."

Facing the Jiangdong water army, Zhang Fei was a little helpless. Although they were all enemies of Lu Bu, Liu Bei was developing well in Jiangxia now, with a lot of goods and money hoarded. If you really want to meet Cai, Zhang Fei can't decide this kind of thing, so he can only send someone to invite Liu Bei.

"Third Master, what should we do?" Someone asked at this moment.

"Retreat first. Since the Jiangdong navy wants to trouble Lu Bu, let them fight first." After Zhang Fei waved his hand, the workers quickly started the boat and headed for the distance.

"Brothers, Jiangxia is ahead, kill me." Seeing Jiangxia City not far away, the young Lu Xun rolled up his sleeves and shouted.

"Kill, kill, kill." The morale of Jiangdong's army was high, and the voice of shouting to kill rang out.As soon as the boat docked, it rushed towards Jiang Xiacheng who was not far away.

"General, Jiangdong soldiers and horses are coming." On the Jiangxia city tower, a general rushed over in a panic and reported to Gao Lan.

"Who is here? Could it be those ruthless characters from Jiangdong?" Hearing the soldier's report, Gao Lan hurriedly asked the soldier.

"Uh, I don't know the details, I just know what the name of the enemy's general is Lu Xun." The soldier quickly replied.

"Lu Xun has never heard of it." Hearing Lu Xun's name, Gao Lan pondered a little but immediately said: "Forget it, anyway, what the lord wants is Jiangdong, so let's leave Jiangxia to them." Gao Lan shouted: "Pass down the order, the whole army gathers, and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."

Following Gao Lan's order, the soldiers and horses originally stationed in Jiangxia City immediately assembled.

"Brothers, the little thieves from Jiangdong actually sent troops to attack me in Jiangxia. They are worthless, even on the Yangtze River, they are only worthy of carrying shoes for our army, let alone on the shore. This general will teach you a lesson. Teach them." Gao Lan galloped out while speaking, and the long knife in his hand danced with a whistling sound.

"Hmph, Gao Lan is an idiot, you just lead troops out like this, do you really think you can defend Jiang Xia?" Seeing Gao Lan leading troops out of the city, Guan Yu sneered, obviously not letting go of Gao Lan's talent in the eyes.

"How does the general know that Gao Lan wants to defend Jiangxia instead of abandoning Jiangxia?" Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhuge Liang beside him suddenly said.

"What do you mean, sir?" Guan Yu was also surprised when he heard Zhuge Liang's words.

"What Lu Bu wants is Jiangdong, so it is normal to give up a few small cities to attract Jiangdong's soldiers and horses." Zhuge Liang explained.

"This is not better. If Jiangdong soldiers and horses arrive in Jiangxia, we don't have to hide our heads and show our tails like we do now." Guan Yu said happily when he heard that Lu Bu was about to give up Jiangxia.

"Hey, general, I'm afraid that the arrival of Jiangdong soldiers and horses is not a good thing for us. We have developed and grown based on Jiangxia, and have accumulated a lot of houses in Jiangxia. Now Jiangdong soldiers and horses are going to use troops in Jingzhou to transport supplies. It’s inconvenient, that’s why it is necessary to take down Jiangxia first, and then use Jiangxia as a springboard to attack the entire Jingzhou. There are so many materials needed. I am afraid that once the Jiangdong soldiers capture Jiangxia, they will first requisition all the materials in the city. It will hurt our interests." Zhuge Liang's view is not as optimistic as Guan Yu's, Lu Bu's army is strong and horses are strong, and there are countless supplies shipped from various places, so naturally he would not like some of Jiangxia's supplies, but Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are different. In the first battle against Lu Bu, Jiangdong must go all out to have a chance of winning. Naturally, the supplies hoarded in Jiangxia City will not be let go. From this perspective, it is very dangerous to let Jiangdong soldiers enter the city.

"If so, how should we deal with it?" Guan Yu was also surprised when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, and asked hastily.

"For the current plan, we can't say, we can only take Jiangxia City by ourselves." Zhuge Liang sighed, and then said.During this period of time, Liu Bei's power developed very smoothly. In order not to attract Lu Bu's attention, Zhuge Liang tried his best to deal with everything in a low-key manner, but now it seems that it is impossible to keep a low profile.

"Lu Xun Lu Xun Xiaoer, if you dare to offend me, Jiang Xia, come out and suffer death." Gao Lan shouted loudly when he came to the front of the two armies with his horse and sword.

"Hmph, I come from a famous family, how can I compete with a common man like you? Come on, kill me and leave no enemy behind." Seeing Gao Lan going into battle, Lu Xun sneered, waving the command flag in his hand, The soldiers and horses under his command rushed up together. Gao Lan said that there were not many soldiers and horses in the middle, so there was no way to resist them.

"Brothers, let's go back to the city first." Seeing that he was invincible, Gao Lan led his troops away.

When Gao Lan led his troops to the gate of Jiangxia City, he saw that the gate was closed and did not appear to be opened. At this time, several people appeared on the tower, each with bright armor. It was none other than the three brothers Liu Guanzhang, and among them Behind him Zhuge Liang was wearing a white coat, gently waving the feather fan in his hand.

"Liu Bei, when will you take my city?" Seeing Liu Bei and others appear, Gao Lan was furious and shouted loudly.

"Hahaha, Jiaxia was originally my city. At this time, Owen just took back his own things. You go back and tell Lu Bu. After a few days, I will take the head off his neck and let him wash his neck clean. Just wait for me." Liu Bei laughed and said to Gao Lan.

"Let's retreat?" Seeing that Jiangxia City had been occupied by Liu Bei, Gao Lan gritted his teeth and could only turn around and leave with his troops.

"Brother, this Gao Lan milliliter is hateful, why don't I bring some soldiers and horses up to take his head." Seeing Gao Lan fleeing with his troops, Zhang Fei said with some regret.

"Don't chase after poor bandits. What's more, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses attacking Jiangxia may not have the intention of attracting Lu Bujun's attention. It's better not to add more than one foot." Zhuge Liang said at this time.

Not long after, Jiangdong soldiers and horses had already arrived at Jiangxia City. Seeing that Lu Bu had already occupied Jiangxiacheng, Lu Xun couldn't help but frowned, but he rode his horse over and said to Liu Bei, "Uncle Liu Huang, our soldiers are going to Jiangdong, okay?" It's easy to drive away Gao Lan, but it's not reasonable for the emperor's uncle to take down Jiang Xia in such a clever way."

"Hehe, the Major General was joking. I, Liu Bei, have lived in seclusion in Jiangxia for many days. How can I say that Jiangxia belongs to your army? But general, don't worry, we are allies. I don't plan to stay in Jiangxia City for a long time. How about it? If I have found a suitable place to live, so how about returning Jiangxia City to your army? Your army sent troops to Jingzhou, and they don’t care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, so let me, Liu Bei, guard Jiangxia City for the general for a while." Seeing Lu Xunxing asked the teacher about the crime, Liu Bei said with a smile.

"General, Liu Bei's rhetoric is like defrauding us of our victory. Please order the young general to lead troops to attack Jiangxia and capture Liu Bei alive." Hearing Liu Bei's words, the Jiangdong general said immediately behind Lu Xun.

"Hehe, then Uncle Lao will be stationed in Jiangxia for us." Lu Xun smiled unexpectedly for a while, and agreed to Liu Bei's proposal, and then Jiangdong soldiers immediately retreated ten miles to set up camp.

"I didn't expect that Lu Xun could have such a city at such a young age. Jiangdong is really full of talents." Seeing that Lu Xun agreed to Liu Bei's request in this way, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but admire.

"Now that the military division is sending troops to Jingzhou from Jiangdong, we should take action. I don't know what the military division will do?" Seeing Jiangdong's soldiers and horses retreating, Liu Bei turned and asked Zhuge Liang, obviously unwilling to give up this opportunity and wanting to fish in troubled waters.

"Alright, during these days, we have stockpiled a lot of supplies in Jiangxia, and we just took this opportunity to recruit troops. If Sun Quan wins, we will take the opportunity to take Jingzhou. If Sun Quan is defeated, we can take the opportunity to send troops to Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang said for a while. He nodded and said.
