The luncheon in Jianye City is still ongoing.

Sun Quan's face turned red from drinking.

He had already taken Lu Su's hand.

There, they reminisced about the bitter past and appreciated the sweet present.

Lu Su smiled apologetically.

But for some reason, my eyelids always seem to twitch.

"Report—!!!"

The palace gates were forced open.

A person rolled in.

"Who's making such a fuss!"

The man raised his head.

It was Xu Sheng.

"My lord! Commander!"

"This humble general...this humble general is suffering!"

Now she looks like a wronged, submissive wife.

"Wenxiang? Why are you back?"

"Weren't you supposed to be monitoring Liu Bei's winter hunt in the west?"

Xu Sheng got up.

Kneeling on the ground,

"My lord! There's no such thing as a winter hunt!"

"That's a bluff! It's a forced entry!"

"What?"

Sun Quan sobered up halfway.

"Explain in detail!"

"This humble general is ordered to set up a roadblock six miles south of the city, using the pretext of a road collapse, and request that you, Madam, take a different route."

"Who knew...who knew that without saying a word, the princess jumped out of the carriage and launched into a tirade of abuse!"

"She said this is the Sun family's territory, and she'll brave even a sea of ​​fire!"

"She's going to come back and complain to the Empress Dowager, saying that I, your humble servant, have bullied the newlyweds!"

Sun Quan heard it all clearly.

This is something his sister would do.

Fierce and tough.

Unreasonable.

Protecting one's own.

"and then?"

Zhou Yu asked.

"Then... this humble general dared not stop them and could only let them pass."

"The most infuriating thing is that Liu Bei!"

"As the car passed by, he made a gesture towards me!"

Xu Sheng imitated Liu Bei, giving a thumbs-up and then pointing it sharply downwards.

"That look in his eyes! It was full of mockery! Full of ridicule! Where was his usual cowardly demeanor?"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Yu slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"broken!"

"This is not a winter hunt."

"This is an escape!"

"abscond?"

"You mean...they're going to run away?"

"But Zhao Yu just left yesterday..."

"That's just a smokescreen!"

"Zhao Yu will go first to draw our attention and make us lower our guard."

"Liu Bei feigned weakness to gain his lord's trust and obtain the order to leave the city."

"Then……"

Zhou Yu suddenly looked at Xu Sheng.

How many people are in their convoy?

"One large truck, and the rest were all female soldiers."

"No, there are still people."

"Did anyone go out this morning? What about Liu Bei's five hundred White-Clad Soldiers?"

Lu Su continued,

"Someone went out. Zhao Yun took five hundred servants and said he was going out to make arrangements for the winter hunt."

"That's right, those are Liu Bei's White Feather Soldiers!"

"They ran away?"

"My sister..."

"And the money I gave Liu Bei as a reward..."

"Liu Bei! You big-eared thief!"

"I've treated you well! I gave you a house, money, and women! And you actually eloped with my sister?"

"Who knows how much travel money they brought!"

That's the key point.

If they ran away, so be it. Maybe they'll get tired of having fun and come back.

Being scammed out of money is very damaging to one's self-esteem.

"Gongjin!"

"Chase!"

"Get it back!"

"Tear that big-eared thief to pieces! Chop that troublemaker Zhao Yu into mincemeat!"

"As for Shangxiang..."

Sun Quan paused for a moment,

This is my own flesh and blood; I cannot kill it.

"Tie her up and bring her back! I want her to kneel in the ancestral hall for a month!"

"promise!"

At this moment, Zhou Yu had regained his composure from his earlier anger.

It seems my concerns last night were justified.

It's good that you found it.

It would be a great disgrace if they escaped without being discovered.

"Pass on the order!"

Zhou Yu took out the command arrow from his bosom.

It was thrown on the ground.

"Chen Wu! Pan Zhang!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"I order you two to muster five hundred elite cavalry!"

"One man, two horses! No effort spared!"

"Take the shortcut and head straight for the river ferry crossing!"

"Liu Bei's caravan had large carts, so they couldn't travel fast."

"Your mission is singular: hold them off! Divert their attention! Kill them all!"

"Except for the princess, not a single one will be spared!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Wu and Pan Zhang picked up the command token.

He turned and ran.

Where are the online trolls?

"exist!"

This time, it was Lü Meng and Jiang Qin who responded.

"Fire five warships! Twenty large warships!"

"I will lead the team myself."

"Going against the current, the wind is from the southeast today, heaven is on our side."

……

Half an hour later.

On the river.

Five enormous multi-storied ships, their sails raised high.

The bow of the ship.

Zhou Yu leaned on the railing.

"shame."

Zhou Yu muttered to himself.

"This is the greatest disgrace of my life, Zhou Gongjin."

This time it really became a personal grudge.

"Commander, if we catch up... should we kill them?"

Lu Meng asked cautiously from behind.

"kill?"

"They're getting off too easy."

"If it really has anything to do with Zhao Yu, I'm going to bring him back."

"Sew his mouth shut, hang him on the reviewing stand, and whip him a hundred times a day."

"Let him know what it means to not mess with a tiger's backside."

"As for Liu Bei..."

Zhou Yu looked down at the Yangtze River.

"Let him drown in the river."

"Let him go feed the fish."

"It can be considered as leaving him with a complete body, given his status as a member of the Han imperial family."

……

Liu Langpu.

The name is quite elegant.

It's actually just a makeshift ferry crossing.

A muddy beach, a few withered reeds, and a few startled water birds.

In fact, Liulangpu is in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei's entourage suddenly braked.

It stopped by the river.

"Kongming!"

Liu Bei shouted at the river.

"Strategist! Everything's ready! Where are the ships?"

In response to him,

Only southeast winds.

The river surface was empty and still.

There wasn't even a washboard, let alone a boat.

"Nobody here?"

"Why is no one here?"

Liu Bei clutched his hair, his composure crumbling.

"Kongming is never late! If he says he'll be there to meet us, he'll definitely be there! Why is that?"

Zhao Yu rode over on horseback.

I glanced at the river.

"Stop shouting."

"Kongming came from Jingzhou with the current, but today the wind is from the southeast, so it's a headwind."

"The wind is too strong, the boat can't move. It's probably stuck in traffic."

House seemingly endless rain.

The ship was late and then encountered a headwind.

Zhao Yun, who was responsible for covering the rear, also rode up to the scene.

"My lord! Dust is billowing behind us! Chen Wu and Pan Zhang's cavalry are less than five li away!"

"Judging from the sound, the horsepower is still going strong; they're chasing with all their might."

There is no way forward.

Pursuers were behind them.

A desperate situation.

Liu Bei collapsed onto the muddy ground.

"Heaven has forsaken me."

"Am I, Liu Bei, destined to die here today?"

He started crying again.

Tears come spontaneously; there's no need to act.

"Stop crying!"

Sun Shangxiang jumped out of the car and looked at Zhao Yu.

"At worst, you'll die. What's the use of crying? Can you cry Zhou Yu to death?"

The terrain is flat and offers no natural defenses.

If Zhou Yu catches up with them, these hundreds of infantrymen will be sitting ducks.

"We can't stop."

Zhao Yu made a decisive decision.

"Get in! Keep going!"

Pointing westward, the official road winds its way up the riverbank.

"Run along the riverbank! To the next ferry crossing!"

"Since Kongming's ship is delayed by the wind, let's intercept him halfway! This is a two-way approach!"

Liu Bei stopped crying.

"Yes! A two-way journey!"

"Run as long as you're not dead! Run until you die!"

The convoy started again.

In order to save his life, Liu Bei was desperate and threw away all his valuables from the carriage.
