Chapter 296 The Battle of Lu Bu's Death and Destruction of Chu Begins
After Zhuge Liang had complained in his heart, he still had to appease Liu Bei. After all, it was impossible for him to come down from Liu Bei's ship now.
What's more, Zhuge Liang praised himself as a genius and had a pride that ordinary people do not have in his bones. Since he chose Liu Bei back then, there would be no way back. As long as Liu Bei was willing to obey his strategy, he would always assist Liu Bei until the end, and even at the last moment, he would not have the idea of surrender. Liu Bei has now returned to his attitude of discussing everything with him when he first came out of the mountain and obediently following his strategy.
Zhuge Liang was never afraid that the enemy was too strong, but only afraid that he would be dragged down by his own stupidity.
At present, the power of King Liu Yu of Qin is beyond doubt. Faced with hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, he has almost no confidence in protecting the State of Chu.
But he will always use his talents and knowledge. As long as there is any opportunity, he will seize that opportunity, and it may not be impossible for miracles to occur.
In short, fight, if you don’t fight until the last moment, only God knows the final outcome.
So Zhuge Liang smiled calmly at Liu Bei.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's smile, Liu Bei felt relieved.
Liu Bei asked: "Did the military advisor already have good plans?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head.
Liu Bei was immediately disappointed.
Zhuge Liang smiled again and said, "The king still remembers that in Xinye, Cao Cao's army of 400,000 went south to attack Xinye, but the king had only 30,000 soldiers. He was not afraid of Cao Cao, and fought with Cao Cao until the end, and there was a great victory in the Red Cliff. Although the Qin King Liu Yu is nearly 670,000 troops, the king still has 200,000 troops. How is the comparison between the enemy and us? Why don't you dare to fight until the end?"
When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's words, his eyes lit up, he nodded immediately, clenched his fists and said, "What the military advisor said is very true. If you don't fight to the end, whoever says he, Liu Yu, will definitely win!"
Now, there is no other way out, right?
Liu Bei thought of his life. From the time he rose up during the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, he relied on his spirit of being unable to stand up and fight, not afraid of failure, and constantly struggling to gain the current position of King Chu, as well as the vast land of Jing, Jiao, and other vast areas, with a population of millions.
Even though Liu Yu is strong, he cannot forget his roots. He should use his previous spirit and swear to the end with Liu Yu!
Liu Bei is truly one of the heroes that Cao Cao is afraid of. Not to mention his strategy, at least this spirit is enough to be a hero.
...
Xiangyang.
Liu Yu had already decided on the time to send troops, but before the day he sent troops, Lu Bu was about to die due to his serious injuries.
When Liu Yu arrived, Lu Bu was looking back. He used his last strength to support his body and said, "Bu was wrongly abducted by the time and recognized Dong Zhe as his father. Fortunately, he met the king in the end. Only by helping the king unify the world can he redeem Bu's sins in his past. However, Bu no longer has the chance. I hope the king will take care of himself and achieve the great cause of unification as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Lu Bu died of anger!
The world's most powerful general, Lu Bu, died before he was sixty years old!
Originally, Lu Bu was not injured, so he would never die due to injuries. However, Lu Bu ran to attack hundreds of miles with injuries to capture Xiangyang, and fought with Wei Yan's army halfway. He fought with Wei Yan alone for dozens of rounds and defeated Wei Yan. All of this aggravated his injuries. In addition, at the age of 60, his physical recovery ability was far inferior to when he was young. Although Liu Yu used the best medicine for Lu Bu after he arrived in Xiangyang and summoned the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to treat Lu Bu's injuries, it was difficult to save Lu Bu's life in the end.
Liu Yu was sad on his face, but deep down he didn't feel sorry for Lu Bu.
Lu Bu has lived a glorious life and a down-and-out life.
As the most famous general in the world, Lu Bu gave people the impression that he was not brave but invincible, he was the invincible and famous. He once challenged the 19 princes and killed more than ten generals of the 19 princes, defeated Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and in the battle of Yanzhou, he even fought alone against the six powerful generals under Cao Cao several times. Although he was unable to win, he could easily escape without hesitation. He also had the experience of occupying Xuzhou and becoming a prince.
It can be said that Lu Bu's martial arts is the world's most undisputed best, and his experience is quite legendary.
However, people will grow old, and Lu Bu, the world's number one, is no exception. As he gets older, Lu Bu gradually finds it difficult to maintain his reputation as the world's number one. When one day, Lu Bu is so old that he can't even beat an unknown man, others will not remember how powerful Lu Bu was when he was young, and will only see the old and useless Lu Bu.
The Battle of Xiangyang undoubtedly made Lu Bu's brilliant masterpiece. When people's impression of Lu Bu being the most powerful general in the world, Lu Bu was 59 years old and successively beat Zhang Fei and his son, defeated the Chu army, and rushed to Xiangyang.
A series of achievements are admirable.
When Lu Bu died, he left his most glorious impression to the world. People in later generations would definitely mention Lu Bu's achievements more. Lu Bu's courage and invincibleness. From these points of view, although Lu Bu died, he had no regrets.
Liu Yu ordered Lu Bu to be buried in the suburbs of Xiangyang City, along with the Red Rabbit Horse who had been killed in battle half a month ago, and the Fang Tian Painted Gaulle, his handwritten and engraved the stele of the 'Tomb of the world', the No. 1 strong general in the world.
With the inscription engraved by Liu Yu's personal edict, as long as Liu Yu can unify the world successfully in the future, then I think the shame of Lu Bu's "three-class slave" will be forgotten. It is considered that Liu Yu's reward for Lu Bu's life to seize Xiangyang and create a good opportunity for him to destroy Chu in advance.
The next day.
Liu Yu gathered all the civil and military officials to officially issue a manifesto to fight against Liu Bei.
Liu Yu said to everyone: "Gouzi quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, attacked Dong Zhuo, killed Li Jue, Guo Si and other thieves. His lifelong wish was to wipe out all the heroes and lead to the reunification of the world. Now all the heroes are destroyed, but only the rebel Liu Bei and King Sun Quan of Wu are left to separatist. General Lu beheaded Zhang Fei and his son, and even defeated Chu soldiers in a row and rushed to Xiangyang. He has opened the door for Gu to attack Liu Bei in one fell swoop. Gu decided to take advantage of the situation to kill Liu Bei. In this battle, he will definitely defeat Jing and get along!"
Liu Yu led nearly 450,000 troops to the south from Xiangyang and headed straight to Jiangling.
At the same time, at the junction of Badong County and Yidu County, 70,000 Qin navies including Ganning also advanced east along the river and attacked Yidu County. As long as Yidu County is captured, the Ganning army can also go down the river and fight to Jiangling and Liu Yu.
There is also the junction of Xiangke County and Lingling County. Meng Huo and other 150,000 barbarians from Yunnan had already received the order from Liu Yu and agreed on the date of sending troops. As soon as the time came, they also sent troops to attack Lingling County, which had the momentum to sweep away the four southern counties of Jingzhou in one fell swoop.
Meng Huo said to Mrs. Zhurong, Meng You, and other barbarians, "The King of Qin has great kindness to our Yunnan territory. Now the King of Qin has destroyed Cao Wei and is about to unify the world again. We must serve the King of Qin and participate in this battle to unify the world, which is a great blessing!"
All the barbarians agreed.
Liu Yu's three armies launched together, and their momentum was as great as Mount Tai!
Chapter completed!
