~7 min read 1,296 words

"We clearly arranged everything well!"

"How could Liu Bei be prepared in advance?!"

Urgent horn sounds rang out from the other side of Ganlu Temple.

Ma Chao led the Danyang elite troops and charged over. With one charge, he scattered the soldiers Sun Quan had brought!

"Brat Sun Quan, with your little tricks, you still want to deceive my lord!"

Zhu Zhi's face changed.

"My lord, the situation is impossible. Zhu Ran, hurry up and take my lord and retreat!"

He jumped onto his horse and led a team of men to kill toward Ma Chao!

Ma Chao shouted loudly,

"Well come!"

A point of cold light, the spear shot out like a dragon. Ma Chao was faster than Zhu Zhi, and in less than five moves, he knocked Zhu Zhi off his horse!

Seeing this, Zhou Tai led men to cover the retreat.

"My lord, you go first!"

Just then, Zhang Fei drove his horse and led troops out of the temple!

"Despicable and shameless scoundrel, where are you fleeing to!"

The Zhangba Snake Spear thrust fiercely toward Zhou Tai!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Zhou Tai and Zhang Fei fought together, both giving their all!

In less than twenty moves, Zhou Tai was knocked off his horse by Zhang Fei's spear. He had thick blood and didn't die, but he was seriously injured!

Sun Quan turned his head and happened to see Zhou Tai fall off his horse, and he was even more afraid!

He whipped his horse and ran wildly!

Before these routed soldiers had gone far, another volley of arrows shot out from the forest. Sun Quan's soldiers were caught off guard and a large number were shot dead!

"Sun Quan, I, Shamoke, have been waiting for a long time!"

The Five Streams Barbarian King Shamoke led a group of barbarian soldiers to continue chasing Sun Quan!

Zhu Ran covered the retreat and was shot dead on the spot by Shamoke!

Sun Quan fled in panic and ran to the riverbank, where his path was blocked by the river water. With pursuers behind him, sorrow arose from his heart.

"Report~! My lord, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai have been captured by Liu Bei's army!"

Sun Quan's last line of defense was crushed. He had no chance left.

"Forget it!"

He drew his sword and used the long sword he had used to split the stone earlier to slit his own throat!

By the time Liu Bei led people to arrive, he only saw Sun Quan's dead body.

"Send the body back to the Sun family."

After Liu Bei gave the order, he led his troops back to the city.

Wei Yan had already led troops to capture all the family members of Zhou Yu, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and others!

Liu Bei didn't have a soft heart this time. Being too gentle is weakness. Since you want to rebel, don't blame me.

Liu Bei waved his hand and had them all beheaded to show the public!

Soldiers who participated in the rebellion above the rank of squad leader were also all beheaded!

The remaining five thousand or so soldiers were all registered as slaves and sent to the mines to dig!

In one day, thousands of heads fell!

Zhou Yu, he had tried to persuade him to surrender several times, but knowing it was impossible, he couldn't keep him.

The Jiangdong gentry also recognized the iron-blooded side of Lord Xuande and were very glad they hadn't participated in the rebellion.

Lady Wu led the Sun family to pray for forgiveness. So many people died, all caused by Sun Quan. She was truly afraid that Liu Bei would wipe out the Sun family in a fit of rage.

Liu Bei comforted her, saying this matter had nothing to do with the other members of the Sun family. He appointed Sun Kuang to inherit the title of Marquis of Wu and move to Chang'an to live.

Ye Huang proposed to take Sun Lang to the Western Regions. Liu Bei had long agreed. Sun Lang was not Lady Wu's biological son, and Lady Wu didn't refuse. It wouldn't be bad for the Sun family to make a career in the Western Regions.

The properties and fields of Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, and others were rewarded by Liu Bei to those who had merit in quelling the rebellion.

Cheng Pu didn't participate in this rebellion. He requested to follow Sun Lang to the Western Regions, and Liu Bei agreed.

Ye Huang took away eight thousand soldiers, plus more than twenty thousand family members. The departure of these people also caused those in Jiangdong with slight rebellious hearts to continue to disappear.

In the few days before leaving, Ye Huang lived directly in Liu Bei's mansion. She didn't care as much as the women here, but instead enjoyed the feeling of chatting to her heart's content.

"Liu Bei, I hope you unify the Great Han soon, and we will meet again then."

Ye Huang left many hickeys on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei smiled.

"Don't worry, next time I go to the Western Regions, I'll find you."

Ye Huang??

"You're treating us as pawns to help the Great Han expand its territory!"

"Horse? A rouge horse, that's not bad!"

Liu Bei commented!

Ye Huang couldn't care about that much; as long as she could continue to obtain rewards for the Goose Country, it was fine.

"Dear Liu, goodbye!"

This rebellion came quickly and went quickly, but it gave Jiangdong a great shock.

As for Sun Quan's death, everyone felt he deserved it, but it was a pity for those soldiers who were loyal to him.

After this incident, the situation in Jiangdong stabilized all at once.

Pan Shu's embroidery skills were very good, and she and her sister made several sets of exquisite bellybands, letting Liu Bei appreciate them one by one, which was also full of benefits.

The situation in Jiangdong was great, and it was time for Liu Bei to return to Chang'an.

Before he even set off,

Bad news came from both the north and the south.

In the south, his casual friend, the Administrator of Cangwu, Wu Ju, was killed. The Shi Xie family occupied Cangwu Commandery, almost controlling the entire Jiaozhou. They cut off contact with Jingzhou, intending to secede and stand alone.

Liu Bei also received news that Shi Xie had three subordinates with the surname Ruan, led by Ruan Wenhui, who incited Shi Xie to establish a country in Jiaozhou.

"This group of trash from the Yue Kingdom dares to be so arrogant?"

Liu Bei waved his hand.

He assembled three routes of troops to recover Jiaozhou.

The first route, Yan Yan led Bao Long and Yang Ying to set off from Jingnan and head directly to Cangwu Commandery!

The second route, led by Bu Zhi, assisted by Lü Dai and He Qi, killed south from Yuzhang into Nanhai Commandery!

The third route, led by Zhang Ni and Wu Yi, with the King as the main force, led the Yizhou troops to attack Yulin Commandery!

Liu Bei's order to them was to recover Jiaozhou, must occupy the Red River Delta, and kill all the Ruans.

The Red River Delta has three harvests a year, and the land is fertile, no worse than the Pearl River Delta. It originally belonged to the Jiaozhi Commandery of the Great Han, but was later accidentally occupied by the Yue Kingdom.

Liu Bei's second order was to deal with the natives there, referring to the Xianbei and Xiongnu: kill their men, seize their women, relocate Great Han people, reward soldiers who made contributions with native female slaves, and enrich the population.

The news from the north, however, shocked Liu Bei!
