Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 392 New 3 Kingdoms 32

When Lu Su saw Ding Feng and Xu Sheng taking orders and leaving with their troops, he began to ask why they wanted to kill Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu said that Zhuge Liang was too weird and seemed to know everything. If he was kept alive, he would sooner or later become a serious threat to Jiangdong. It would be better to kill him early to give him peace of mind.

"Lu Su, Kan Ze, lead the fleet to set out immediately, hang the agreed flag to confuse Cao Cao, approach the linked ships and set them on fire."

Zhou Yu quickly adjusted his status and began to issue orders.

"Gan Ning, you take Cai Zhong and the surrendered soldiers and march along the south bank under the banner of Cao's army, and go straight to Wulin where Cao Cao stores grain. Set fire after entering. Cai and I will be useful if we leave them behind."

"Taishi Ci, Lü Meng, you two take three thousand soldiers to Wulin to support Gan Ning and burn Cao's camp."

"Ling Tong, you lead three thousand soldiers..."

……

Zhou Yu was also very powerful. He issued more than a dozen military orders in one breath. Fortunately, he did not ask anyone to repeat his orders.

Not to mention Zhou Yu's deployment of troops, Zhuge Liang took advantage of the wind and ran to the riverside, where he happened to meet Ding Feng and Xu Sheng who were leading their troops to attack him.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a carriage drove up, the curtain was opened, and in the carriage was Zhou Yu's young wife Xiao Qiao.

"Mr. Kong Ming, please get in the car!"

"Madam, what do you mean?" Zhuge Liang felt that there was something fishy going on.

"My husband wanted to kill you, and I didn't want him to have a bad reputation, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

Xiao Qiao didn't know what she was thinking, but she just wanted to ruin her husband's business and thought it was for his own good.

"Madam Zhou, now that Sun Ce is dead, Sun Quan dislikes and even hates Zhou Yu. You don't think about how to protect your husband, but you secretly let the person he wants to kill go. Do you think Sun Quan has no reason to kill people?" Yu Xian asked coldly as he stood aside.

"Who are you?" Xiao Qiao didn't expect that there was someone else here.

"Sun Ce is dead? How is that possible?" Zhuge Liang thought of this.

"Mrs. Zhou, how are you going to explain to Zhou Yu that you plan to stay in the same room with another man?" Yu Xian felt that he had no obligation to answer their questions.

"What does it have to do with you!" Xiao Qiao now became tough.

"Really?" Yu Xian said as he drew his sword.

"What grudge does Mr. Kong Ming have against you that you want to harm him?"

"What does it have to do with you!" Yu Xian returned her words.

"My dear knight, is there any misunderstanding between us?" Zhuge Liang also felt that the knife could fall on him at any time.

"It's not a misunderstanding. I'll give you a chance. You can leave Liu Bei and go somewhere else, or you can go back to Longzhong and continue farming." Yu Xian felt it was necessary to give him a chance.

Zhuge Liang was about to retort as if he was listening to a joke, but he didn't expect Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to lead their troops to surround the place.

"kill!"

Ding Feng is a ruthless man, remembering Zhou Yu's words and taking action as soon as they meet without hesitation. Yu Xian hasn't been active for a long time. The last time he warmed up was when he rescued Cao Song in Xuzhou, he cut half of Zhang Kai's 500 men, and now these 200 men are obviously not enough to fill the gap.

In less than half an hour, Yu Xian took on two hundred soldiers and defeated all of them before calling it a day.

"May I ask who you are?" Ding Feng was much more aware of the current situation now.

"Go back and tell Zhou Yu that Sun Ce is dead and Sun Quan plans to settle accounts with him. As for Zhuge Liang, this man is not worth remembering. After all, he knew Zhou Yu wanted to kill him, but he didn't even arrange a way out. Don't waste that time and energy." Yu Xian said lazily as he sheathed his knife.

"General Sun is dead?" Ding Feng and Xu Sheng were shocked.

"He should have died long ago. I've been the one keeping him alive until today. Now, take your people and get out of here!"

"Thank you for showing mercy!" Ding Fengxu Sheng bowed and quickly told the soldiers to run back and report.

He fought against two hundred soldiers alone and remained unscathed without even a breath of fresh air. Even if the Overlord Lu Bu was reborn, he wouldn't be able to do that. We can't afford to offend him.

When Zhuge Liang saw the pursuers leave, his attitude immediately changed. This man was a good fighter, and if he could join Liu Bei, he would definitely be a great help.

"Since you have martial arts skills, why don't you follow me to Xiakou, serve under Uncle Liu, support the Han Dynasty, and achieve something?"

"Where do you get the confidence to think that I would be attracted to Liu Bei's dead face? Qiao Xiaoqiao, why don't you go back and stay here for supper?"

Yu Xian felt like vomiting when he thought of Liu Bei and his three brothers, so he looked at beautiful women to divert his attention.

"You!" Xiao Qiao glared at Yu Xian fiercely and got back into the carriage. The coachman was very tactful and just rode away.

Watching the carriage go away, Zhuge Liang suddenly regained confidence in persuading Yu Xian to join Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that Yu Xian turned around and left before he could even open his mouth.

Zhuge Liang was so frustrated that he had to run barefoot to the riverside, find a boat and return to Xiakou by himself.

Yu Xian stood on the top of a mountain where he could see the battlefield, holding a few pieces of talisman paper in each hand and looking at the river.

Dozens of warships loaded with flammable materials and flying special signal flags were seen slowly approaching Cao's camp on the river.

Cao Cao and a group of senior generals and advisers stood on the flagship, looking at the surrender fleet that was getting closer and closer, as if that was a bright future.

"Lord."

Cao Ren and Guo Jia felt vaguely uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.

"Let's wait for Zijing and Derun to come before we talk about anything." Cao Cao waved his hands and said loudly.

At this moment, the east wind was blowing strongly, the warship increased its speed, and bright flames were burning on the ship.

"No, don't come over..." Cao Cao's pupils shrank and he was at a loss.

"Quick, quick, bring the lord back to the shore!" Cao Ren was the first to wake up and ordered his personal soldiers to take Cao Cao and Guo Jia away.

No matter how hard Cao's soldiers tried to stop them, it was of no avail. The Jiangdong warships, burning with raging flames, still approached the iron-chain boats and began to wreak havoc with the help of the wind. At this moment, the water fort on the shore was also on fire, making it impossible to take care of both ends.

But what confused Cao's soldiers was that the fire always found places with few people, leaving them many ways to survive.

By the second half of the night, when the chain boat was half burned, most of the soldiers were able to return to the shore safely. Those who were missing or dead either really could not learn to swim or were just unlucky.

Cao's army was safe for the time being, but the allied forces were not having a good time. It rained heavily in the middle of winter, which seriously delayed the scheduled marching time. It was already dawn when they arrived at the battlefield.

Everyone had calmed down by now. Both sides were filled with anger. They had a bloody fight on the river bank, and some of their brains were beaten to pieces.

The coalition forces were small but in good condition, while Cao's forces were large but in poor condition. The two sides fought from dawn to dusk, and finally had to disperse and go home for dinner.

After things stabilized, Cao's army withdrew to Xiangyang overnight to rest and regroup, and they didn't even want this place anymore.

On the Xiakou side, Liu Qi had so much fun that his body couldn't withstand such high-intensity combat, so he had to go down to rest.

Zhuge Liang is now unable to command Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei even says sarcastically that he is a corrupt scholar and knows nothing!

Zhang Fei said this for a reason. He led his troops out to block Cao Cao, but the enemy fought for a whole day at Chibi and did not even leave the camp. He and his troops were left standing on the roadside in the cold wind for a whole day.

At night, Cao Cao arrived and led his troops to charge forward, but was counterattacked by Dian Wei, and all the thousand soldiers were defeated.

Zhang Fei was in such a mess, and Guan Yu was not much better, and was almost captured by Cao Cao.

To sum up, Cao Cao did suffer a defeat, but his strength was still there and I could not gain any advantage.

Zhuge Liang's frown could kill a fly. According to Zhou Yu's deployment, Cao Cao's army should have been wiped out. But now Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both say that Cao Cao's army has hardly suffered much loss. How is this possible?
