Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 611

"preparation!"

Huang Zhong ordered the artillery to prepare when Liu Beijun was two miles away from him.

"fire!"

When Liu Bei's navy was one mile away from Huang Zhong, that is, 500 meters, Huang Zhong gave an order and the artillery fired.

"Hulong!"

With a loud noise, a shell hit the deck of Liu Bei's warship.

"what happened?"

Liu Bei looked at the big hole that had been punched in the ship tower, and shouted.

But before anyone could answer him, several shells hit the building where Liu Bei was, and there was nothing he could do.Who let his ship be at the forefront?

"Brother, the situation is wrong, why does the Jiangdong Army have cannons!"

Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei.

"No, this is not Jiangdong Army!"

Zhuge Liang beside Liu Bei looked at the warship in the distance, and hurriedly said to Liu Bei: "My lord, quickly, retreat quickly!"

Liu Bei also knew that the situation was urgent, so he ordered the withdrawal of the troops and asked, "Has the military division seen what's going on?"

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and replied: "That must be Liu Wei's Hebei Army, not Jiangdong Army. Only the warships of the Hebei Army have artillery!"

On the way to retreat, Liu Pi also came to Liu Bei's side and said, "My lord, that is the warship of the Hebei Army. The last general boarded this warship in Hebei!"

"Wow, Liu Wei's management is too lenient. He is from Hebei, but he still has to take care of Jiangdong's affairs!"

Zhang Fei opened his mouth and screamed.

"Liu Wei also intervened, then this matter is serious. We might as well retreat to Jiangbei for now and wait and see what happens. If Liu Wei defeats Cao Cao, we will withdraw our troops. If Liu Wei can't help Cao Cao, then we will continue to attack Jiangdong. Anyway. The navy from Hebei will not stay in Jiangdong for long!"

Zhuge Liang frowned while shaking his fan.

When Huang Zhong saw that Liu Bei's water army was repelled by his own round of bombardment, he was afraid of being cheated, so he didn't chase after him. He turned the bow and went to the water village of the Jiangdong water army, and unloaded the twenty cannons Liu Wei gave to Sun Ce. After getting off, they went down the river to the mouth of the sea to meet Tian Feng and the others, and they went north together.

Leaving aside Huang Zhong and Tian Feng taking Liu Wei's concubine, Sun Shangxiang, back to Hebei by sea, Liu Wei knew that it was a certainty that he would marry Sun Shangxiang, so he ordered people to put up lanterns and festoons in the palace, preparing to marry her. thing.

On this day, Jushou came to Liu Wei's palace to meet Liu Wei.Seeing the smile on Liu Wei's face, he said urgently: "My lord, why are you still in the mood to laugh here!"

Liu Wei glanced at Jushou, and said, "I don't laugh, so why not cry?"

"Oh! My lord, do you really think I'm joking with you? My lord, I'm afraid you're going to lose your trust in the world!"

Jushou sighed.

"Broken trust in the world! Why?"

Liu Wei asked.

"My lord, the reason why you were able to marry Sun Ce's sister was not because you wanted to help Sun Ce contain Cao Cao, but lord, do you know that Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu have set up a heavy ambush in the northern part of Yanzhou? , Zhongmou, and Dingtao have formed a line of defense, if we want to go south, we will have to spend a huge amount of troops to break through this line of defense, and now we are completely powerless to attack Yanzhou, isn't this the rhythm of breaking promises?"

Jushou asked.

"Hahahaha! What do I think you are worried about? You are only worried about this!"

Seeing Liu Wei laughing, he couldn't help but ask back: "Isn't this difficult enough? My lord, you promise a thousand gold, you are the master of Hebei, and a promise is worth ten thousand gold, a million gold. Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

"Who said that this king will break his promise! This king can make Liu Bei and Cao Cao retreat without a single soldier, do you believe it or not?"

Liu Wei looked at Ju Shou and asked.

"The prince is raving again. If you don't fight Cao Cao, is there someone else who can't fight for you?"

Jushou looked at Liu Wei helplessly.

"Hey, you are really right. If I don't fight Cao Cao, someone will help me send troops to fight him. Do you believe it?"

Liu Wei stared at Jushou and said.

"Hmph! It's useless for me to think for the prince, but you are still lying to me here, prince!"

Ju Shou sat down on the chair opposite Liu Wei, as if I won't leave until you come up with a good idea.

Liu Wei couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahahaha, this is the first time this king has met you and messed with you!"

"My lord, if I don't settle this matter today, I really won't leave. Back then when Lu Su came to Hebei, I knew that nothing good would happen. Sure enough, look, trouble is coming now!"

Jushou didn't look at Liu Wei either, as if talking to himself.

"Oh, Gongyu, why are you getting more and more confused the older you get!"

Liu Wei gave Jushou a cup of tea, and said: "There is a gap between Cao thief and Ma Teng. As long as the king promises to benefit Ma Teng, Ma Teng will not send troops to attack Cao thief! Moreover, Cao thief divided his troops into two groups. Half, lead half of the southern expedition by yourself, and the remaining half is used to defend against us, the Guanzhong area is weak, even if I don't persuade Ma Teng to send troops, Ma Teng will have to go to Guanzhong to plunder!"

"Oh?"

Jushou raised his head suddenly, then looked at Liu Wei and said, "So, my lord has already planned how to deal with Cao thief?"

"What do you think, knowing the current situation in Hebei, this king is still aggressive? Anyway, no matter what method this king uses, as long as the Cao thief retreats, then this king has fulfilled his promise. Waiting for this king to recover for three years When the soldiers and food are sufficient, this king will go south to destroy the Cao bandits, and if he has spare power, he will go all the way south and destroy Liu Bei together!"

Liu Wei said boldly.

"My lord, I can't do it! It seems that I am really old!"

Ju Shou's face was full of shame.

"Hehe, the public and He Zuyan are old, but they are only in their fifties. You, the chief minister, will be in charge for at least another ten years. Otherwise, who will be oppressed by this king!"

Liu Wei said to Jushou with a smile.

"Hahahaha, my lord won't let me go if I don't use up my ability. I don't want to be in my 60s and have to worry about my lord every day. I'd better go home early to take care of my life." it is good!"

Jushou also smiled.

"This king will not let you go so easily, and your son is in my hands. If you leave, aren't you afraid that he will be angry in this court?"

Liu Wei said again.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and what happens to him has nothing to do with me!"

After a pause, Ju Shou said again: "Oh, I still have some use for this old bone, and I have to deal with government affairs for you, my lord!"

After speaking, Ju Shou saluted Liu Wei, then turned around and retreated.
