Chapter 381: Xiao Qiao: Let

In Sun Ce's temporary camp,

Sun Ce's injuries had improved somewhat, but he was still pale,

He had intended to challenge Liu Bei this time and take the throne of the Great Han's number one fierce general,

But he hadn't expected to be defeated by Liu Bei in one move,

"Gongjin, I was careless this time; I didn't expect Liu Bei's strength to be so great."

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to offer advice,

"My lord bears the burden of the people of the six commanderies of Jiangdong; do not easily duel generals in the future."

Sun Ce nodded in agreement, indicating he would not be so reckless in the future.

"Report~!"

"My lord, Lü Fan from the northern shore of Chaohu Lake sent word that the naval forces were raided by Liu Bei's subordinate Pang De with a thousand cavalry, and the two thousand naval troops have already collapsed!"

"What?!"

Sun Ce felt a sweetness in his throat, spat out another mouthful of blood, and fainted!

Zhou Yu hurriedly let the physician into the tent.

He frowned,

"I didn't expect Liu Bei to be this capable; he actually laid out this thousand cavalry in advance. I truly didn't expect it!"

Zhou Yu called for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and the others,

"Generals, the lord is injured, and the warships have been snatched. We can only retreat to the Yangtze River now; be careful to guard against Liu Xun's raids."

He thought of something else and sent personal guards secretly to Wancheng "570"; the Two Qiaos in Jiangbei also had to be brought back to Jiangdong.

Wancheng,

Liu Xun looked at the battle report before him, somewhat stunned,

"Liu Bei is actually this capable! Ten thousand broke Cao Cao's sixty thousand army, and he also defeated Sun Ce's thirty thousand army?!"

"He is actually this brave and good at fighting!"

"Ziyang, Liu Bei wants to borrow the route through Lujiang Commandery; what should I do?"

"Cao Cao is an old acquaintance of mine and asked me to intercept and kill Liu Bei."

Liu Ye cupped his hands,

"My lord, Lord Xuande shakes the nine provinces, and his benevolence and righteousness are spread throughout the world; our army should not be his enemy."

"Sun Ce is the lord's true great enemy in the future. He occupies Jiangdong like a tiger, and last time he took Lujiang Commandery, Yuan Shu let the lord serve as Governor of Lujiang, and he has long held a grudge."

"As for Cao Cao, he himself was defeated, yet he wants the lord to fight with Liu Bei and sit back to reap the benefits?"

Liu Xun nodded,

"Ziyang is right. Then notify Sun Gan that my Lujiang welcomes Lord Xuande to borrow the route."

"My lord is wise."

Outside Wancheng,

In a small bamboo courtyard,

A girl who was peerless, charming, and beautiful ran into the house, saying coquettishly,

"Sister, good news! Lord Xuande defeated Cao Cao's army in Shouchun and is leading the people south."

The woman called sister stood tall, her beauty was peerless, and she had the demeanor of a young lady from a great family,

"Xiao Qiao, I already knew. I also heard that Lord Xuande defeated Sun Ce in one move and crushed the thirty thousand Sun army!"

Xiao Qiao instantly smiled,

"Sun Bofu spent a year attacking Lujiang Commandery and killed quite a few people; this time he was finally taught a lesson!"

Da Qiao also said,

"He also killed dozens of Governor Lu Kang's clansmen; he is heartless and cruel. Governor Lu loved and cherished the people, yet he was able to lay a hand on them!"

Da Qiao then frowned,

"I also heard people say that Sun Ce will send men to the clan, and he and Zhou Yu will take us as concubines separately."

Xiao Qiao slapped the table hard,

"What? Sun Ce dares to do this? He treats us as spoils of war?! And one each!"

"No, absolutely cannot let him succeed." ===== CHAPTER 382 =====
