Three Kingdoms: Li Shimin, dressed as Liu Shan, forcibly abducts Sun Shangxiang.

Chapter Four: The Grand Commander Has Been Shot by an Arrow!!!

Outside Zigui City,

The military camps stretched out in layers, filling the fields.

now,

Liu Shan had already led over a hundred personal guards, dressed in the armor and flags of the Wu soldiers of Shimen Mountain, and moved through the densely packed Jiangdong camps.

Guan Xing was too tense to speak at this moment; his nerves were already stretched to the limit.

"The beginning of Chenshi (7-9 AM), the beginning of Chenshi..."

Zhang Bao muttered to himself, occasionally looking up at the sun in the sky, and then at the Zigui city wall in front of him.

According to the surrendered soldiers of Wu, Lu Xun would patrol the camps outside the city from the city wall every day at the beginning of the morning.

Right now, it's almost time for the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM)!

Lu Xun must be appearing on the city wall soon, Lu Xun...

That's the Grand Commander of the Jiangdong Naval and Land Forces!

The former Grand Commander Zhou Yu, with a single fire at the Battle of Red Cliffs, burned Cao Cao's 830,000-strong army to ashes!

The burning of the flames shattered Cao Mengde's dream of unifying China, reducing it to ashes!

The burning of the fire foreshadowed the tripartite division of the world into three kingdoms!

It has ignited the vigorous momentum of the current Han emperor's three revivals of the Han Dynasty!

Lu Xun, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, was also involved in a great fire... which almost destroyed the very foundation of the Han emperor's great cause to continue the Liu family's destiny!

It almost completely burned away the vital energy and essence of Sichuan and Chongqing!

His Highness the Crown Prince actually dares to try and pull off some tricks with such a powerful figure who is destined to be remembered in history, with his meager military strength...

This is utterly absurd!

The area is currently teeming with Jiangdong troops. If that Grand Commander discovers anything unusual about them during his inspection tour...

"Glug~"

Zhang Bao swallowed hard; he dared not think any further.

"Your Highness," Guan Xing hurried to Liu Shan's side and whispered, "This is far too risky!"

"We are but a mere hundred or so men, yet we are surrounded by tens of thousands of Wu troops!"

"If anything goes wrong and His Highness's identity is exposed, there is no chance of survival!"

"Now that things have come to this, Your Highness... Your Highness, please no longer hide your intentions from us!"

Last night, Liu Shan easily suppressed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all by himself!

In the Battle of Shimen Mountain, despite being outnumbered, A Dou was decisive, brave, and led from the front!

After these two incidents, Guan Xing never dared to look down on the Crown Prince again.

They certainly wouldn't think the Crown Prince was leading them astray... But now, they've entered the heart of a dangerous place, so what exactly is His Highness the Crown Prince's plan?

We have to give them a straight answer, right?

"Please, Your Highness..."

"They're here!"

Zhang Bao abruptly interrupted Guan Xing, staring intently at the city wall ahead: "Lu Xun has appeared!!"

At the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM)!

Zigui City Wall

A large banner fluttered proudly, bearing the enormous character "陆" (Lu)!

Beneath the great banner, a figure walked slowly, surrounded by his personal guards. He had a handsome face and the air of a scholar, yet he was fully armored.

When he was young, the ruler of Wu praised him, saying: "A thousand-mile steed of Jiangdong!"

The great fire at Yiling nearly wiped out tens of thousands of elite troops under Emperor Xuande of Han, completely shattering Liu Bei's ambition to revive the Han Dynasty!

After the Battle of Red Cliffs, the tripartite balance of power in the world was almost entirely changed by his efforts!

He is indeed a renowned general of our time!

Lu Xun, Lu Boyan!

"Has any news come from Baidi City?"

After Liu Bei fled back to Baidi City, he fell seriously ill and remained secluded, but...

"There is only a report from scouts that it seems Zhuge Liang has rushed from Chengdu to Baidi City." The one who replied was Liu A, a subordinate general and a trusted general under Lu Xun.

"Has Zhuge Liang arrived?"

Lu Xun paused slightly, then suddenly laughed: "Good! This old soldier's days are numbered!"

The fact that Zhuge Liang suddenly came to Baidi City at this time must mean that Liu Bei was nearing the end and wanted to entrust him with his final affairs.

With Liu Bei's departure, the Shu Han state was on the verge of collapse.

Liu A couldn't help but flatter him, saying, "This humble general congratulates the Grand Commander! The fate of Shu Han has run its course, and the credit for destroying the country is within the Grand Commander's grasp."

For a time,

Lu Xun gazed out of the city, feeling quite pleased...

"Um?"

A group of soldiers heading towards Zigui City came into his view.

Just then,

The soldier leading the group suddenly looked up.

His gaze was as sharp as a falcon's!

Their eyes met from a distance, and Lu Boyan's heart skipped a beat: "Which unit are these soldiers from?"

in an instant,

Zhang Bao's heart was in his throat: "He's looking over here!"

"not good!"

Guan Xing's voice trembled: "Lu...Lu Xun has probably discovered us!!"

"It's alright."

Liu Shan's voice was calm and composed: "Just keep moving forward!"

Step~

Step~

Step~

His steps were steady, without the slightest hesitation.

near,

Getting closer!

Thirty steps!

Walk another thirty steps, and the distance will be about right.

Liu Shan gradually increased his speed! The entire team quickened their pace, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense and oppressive.

This is right beneath the walls of Zigui, deep within the heart of Wu's main force!

With just a wave of his hand, the Grand Commander atop the city wall could reduce these hundred-odd men to dust with tens of thousands of troops!

Thinking of this, everyone's backs were almost soaked with sweat.

But now that they've come this far, there's no turning back.

now,

The only way to survive is to fight to the death!

On the city wall,

Lu Xun, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, spoke up: "Which unit are these soldiers from?"

Liu Ashun followed Lu Xun's gaze and said, "Judging from the banners, they should be troops stationed at Shimen Mountain. They're probably heading back to Zigui for rest and recuperation."

"Returning to Zigui for repairs..."

"That's not right." Lu Xun's gaze was cold: "Outside Zigui City, all the troops and units that want to return to the city to rest must first go to the central army tent."

"I have not received any official documents from the Shimenshan troops, so how dare they return to the city without authorization?"

wow~

Lu Xun suddenly waved his hand, his armor clanging loudly: "Stop them..."

"Alright... I've been waiting for you to show your face!!" Almost at the same time as Lu Xun waved his hand, Liu Shan suddenly stopped in his tracks!

He held the bow forward in his left hand.

With his right hand, he smoothly drew an eagle-feathered arrow from the quiver!

On the city wall, before Lu Xun could finish speaking, he saw the leader of the soldiers below suddenly draw his bow and aim an arrow at him...

call out! ~

The bow is drawn as full as a moon!

The arrow flew like a shooting star!

In the blink of an eye, a sharp whistling sound suddenly resounded throughout the city of Zigui.

A glint of cold light shot straight towards Lu Xun's chest!

"not good!"

In an instant,

The threat of death completely enveloped Lu Xun, and he was terrified! He hurriedly dodged to avoid it...

puff~

It's too late.

The arrow, gleaming with a cold light, pierced Lu Xun's chest!

The eagle feathers at the arrow's fletching were still trembling incessantly!

Lu Xun stared in astonishment at the soldier shooting arrows below the city walls. Those sharp, falcon-like eyes once again brazenly entered his field of vision.

"you……"

"An assassin!!!"

Liu Shan surprisingly shouted first!

He even led his troop of soldiers, charging towards Zigui City, shouting, "Assassins!"

"The Grand Commander has been assassinated!"

"The Grand Commander has been shot with an arrow!!!"

Liu Shan's voice resounded throughout Zigui City and echoed throughout the Wu army camp.

Boom!

The entire Wu army camp was in complete chaos.

Countless soldiers turned sharply to look at the city wall... Beneath the great banner bearing the character "Lu," that familiar figure was falling backward, head tilted back...

This scene struck Wu's generals and officers like a thunderbolt!

Without the Grand Commander, the outcome of the Battle of Yiling would have been uncertain.

Although we have won the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei is still alive and Zhuge Liang is still around. Shu Han is by no means a fish on a chopping board.

Moreover, Cao Wei was eyeing the area covetously, and had deployed troops north of the Yangtze River...

At a time when such hidden dangers were lurking, the assassination of the Grand Commander was like the sky falling in half over Jiangdong!

In an instant, every officer and soldier in the camp had eyes that were practically popping out of their sockets!

"Grand Commander!"

"not good!"

"The Great-Great-Grand Commander has been assassinated!"

"Catch the assassin!!"

"Protect the Grand Commander! Quickly, protect the Grand Commander first!"

Chaos erupted! The Wu army camp was in complete disarray! Generals from all divisions, leading their massive hordes of soldiers, surged towards the walls of Zigui like madmen!
