Liu Bei was defeated and ran away from Chibi. If Guan Yu had not tried hard to protect Xiangyang, he would have been afraid that the entire Jingzhou that had just been obtained would have been taken away by the Eastern Wu.

After Liu Bei escaped back to Xuchang, he fell seriously ill and his health was getting worse day by day, and he was about to lose weight.

Although the Jingxiang Navy was used when fighting the Battle of Red Cliff, most of the troops brought from the north suffered no losses, the northerners could not fight the water war at all. Finally, there was a Jingxiang Navy, and it also fought all over in one battle. This feeling of going from heaven to hell is the most uncomfortable.

Liu Bei enjoyed five years of good life, and his psychological endurance was no longer as good as when he was wandering. He suddenly suffered a great defeat and suffered a huge physical and mental blow. In addition, he had reached the age of knowing his destiny. In this era when he was only in his thirties on average, he was already a long life, so Liu Bei fell ill on the way to withdraw his troops. Although he was recuperating after arriving in Xuchang, his condition did not improve. His health was getting worse day by day, and in just one month, he seemed to be in trouble.

Youzhou.

"Lord!" A family general walked quickly: "The messenger of the King of Han has arrived."

Zuo Xiaoyou put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said lightly: "I understand."

Soon after, the messenger handed over the secret letter he brought to Zuo Xiaoyou. After looking at it, Zuo Xiaoyou stuffed it to the messenger with a piece of gold ingot and said, "Go back and tell the King of Han that he would set off for Xudu in three days."

The messenger calmly put away the gold ingot and agreed with a smile.

Cao Ying walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup: "What did Liu Bei send a messenger to do?"

Looking at the cold little loli, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Liu Bei is almost dying."

Cao Ying's hand shook, and the ginseng soup almost overturned.

Zuo Xiaoyou grabbed the soup bowl, took a sip, and frowned: "The heat is not enough, who cooked it?"

"Hmph!" Cao Ying's face turned a little red: "Some of them are good to drink, what else should I need to have?"

"Hehe..." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled, drank the ginseng soup and said, "It actually tastes pretty good."

Cao Ying glanced at him and pursed his lips: "Hmph!"

"Little girl, don't always hum, you don't know, think the pig is chirping." Zuo Xiaoyou pinched Cao Ying's face with both hands, and Cao Ying was so angry that he kept slapping him: "Let go!"

"Smile and let go." Zuo Xiaoyou was still pinching.

"You..." Cao Ying couldn't break free and glared at him viciously, and squeezed out a stiff smile.

“It’s really ugly.”

"You have to care!" Cao Ying kicked him in anger, but Zuo Xiaoyou clamped him with his legs.

"Okay." Seeing that Cao Ying was about to thrust him with his other leg, Zuo Xiaoyou let go of his hand, patted her little butt, and said, "I will go to Xuchang to see Liu Bei for the last time in two days. Stay at home..."

"I want to worship my grandfather." Cao Ying said.

"..." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, then you can go with me!"

At that time, the Cao family was killed and buried outside Xuchang City. There was no coffin, but just a big hole was dug and buried all of them. This shows how much Liu Bei hated Cao Cao.

If Zuo Xiaoyou hadn't protected Cao Ying, I'm afraid Cao Ying would have been killed that year.

Fortunately, Cao Ying was a girl. Otherwise, Liu Bei would not have spared her life at all.

The more Liu Bei hated Cao Cao, the more Cao Ying hated Liu Bei, so Cao Ying was so excited when he heard the news that Liu Bei was about to die. Now that Liu Bei is about to die, Cao Ying went to the suburbs to worship Cao Cao and his tribe, there should not be too big problems. Of course, we can't just blatantly worship him secretly.

Zuo Xiaoyou took two days to explain all the military and political affairs in Youzhou, and then took Cao Ying to Xuchang alone.

With the force of Zuo Xiaoyou, one person is worth an army of 100,000. So he went on the road alone, and no one expressed his objection.

It was winter, and the air was extremely cold, but along the way, Cao Ying did not feel the cold. Zuo Xiaoyou's body was always emitting heat, leaning against his arms, not only wasn't cold, but also very warm. He arrived in Xuchang almost when he fell asleep.

On the way, Zuo Xiaoyou bought some sacrifices and paper money. When he arrived outside Xuchang, he asked Cao Ying to worship hundreds of Cao clan members. At this time, Cao Ying finally couldn't bear the bitterness in his heart, burst into tears, and finally fainted in front of the grave.

Zuo Xiaoyou picked her up silently and entered Xuchang.

That night, Zuo Xiaoyou entered the palace and saw Liu Bei who was like a candle in the wind.

"Xiaoyou, you are here!" Liu Bei's pale face was a little more relieved and relaxed.

"Lord." Zuo Xiaoyou sat upright in front of the sickbed with a calm expression and asked, "What's the wish of lord?"

"Haha..." Zuo Xiaoyou's reaction was a little beyond Liu Bei's expectations, but the last sentence relieved him. Zuo Ning was indeed the same Zuo Ning back then, and it did not change.

"After I die, I am afraid that Adou is young. If there is no support from civil servants and military generals, I am afraid... cough cough!"

"Don't be anxious, lord." Zuo Xiaoyou comforted: "As long as the lord gives orders, I will be willing to assist the young master ascend the throne."

Ascend the throne?

A strange light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes and he scolded him: "How can you say such a ruthless saying? Do you know your guilt?"

"The most general is guilty of death." Zuo Xiaoyou held his fist and bowed: "But please let the most general assist the young master to the big treasure before the most general dies."

"..." Liu Bei closed his eyes and sighed: "Xiaoyou, A Dou will leave it to you."

"Don't worry, lord." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "The new Han lord must be the young master!"

Liu Bei showed relief on his face, took out a letter of appointment from under the pillow, and sent it to Zuo Xiaoyou with trembling words: "Xiaoyou, from today on, you will be the general of the auxiliary country, assisting A Dou to unify the world and ascend to the great treasure."

Holding Zuo Xiaoyou's hand tightly, Liu Bei's eyes were looking forward to it: "Don't let Gu be disappointed."

"Don't worry, lord!" Zuo Xiaoyou said seriously: "The last general will definitely help the young master to unify the world and ascend the throne and become emperor!"

Liu Bei smiled, let go of his hand, and slowly closed his eyes.

"The King of Han... is dead!"

After Liu Bei's death, Zuo Xiaoyou immediately contacted Guan Zhang and Zhuge Liang and other civil and military officials, and agreed to jointly support A Dou to inherit the throne. The others remained unchanged for the time being, but the Eastern Wu Group became increasingly arrogant. Zuo Xiaoyou believed that the Eastern Wu should be hit by a head-on blow to let them know who is the boss of the world.

Zuo Xiaoyou's suggestion was supported by all military generals, but how to defeat the Eastern Wu navy? It was a problem.

Faced with this situation, the left and the right took over the big responsibility, so he asked the position of General Zhengnan from A Dou, who had just succeeded to the throne, and then recruited naval troops in Jingxiang to build a new type of warship. Thirty artillery and hundreds of shells were installed on each warship.

These things were secretly built by Zuo Xiaoyou when he was in Youzhou. When building the warship, Zuo Xiaoyou secretly ordered Youzhou to send artillery to Xiangyang.

In five years, Zuo Xiaoyou's arsenal built a total of 3,000 artillery pieces and more than 100,000 artillery shells installed on warships. Even if there are 1,000 warships in Dongwu, they will definitely be bombarded at the bottom of the river.

However, Zuo Xiaoyou secretly created this kind of thing in Youzhou, which attracted some dissatisfaction from treacherous ministers. The reason is very high-sounding. Since you have such a powerful new weapon, why don’t you give it to the previous king? If there were artillery during the Battle of Red Cliff, Eastern Wu would not have won! Now, because of the defeat of Red Cliff, the previous king died early. You are not willing to be jealous of death!

Then... these treacherous ministers were wiped out by Zuo Xiaoyou and his army.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei even became accomplices. For a moment, a bloody storm broke out in the court. Anyone who opposed Zuo Xiaoyou was killed, and the family was confiscated and the clan was exterminated.

Of course, Zuo Xiaoyou would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. These treacherous officials were all troublemakers. Zuo Xiaoyou had already found out the truth and found out the truth. He searched the house and found countless gold, silver and treasures, and there were also secret contact letters from these people and other princes.

Now, the charge of treason is confirmed, and no one will be upset for them if the family is confiscated and the family is exterminated.

In just a few months, the officialdom of the New Han court was reshuffled, and those who were second-minded were basically cleared out of the high-level officials of the court. Moreover, Zuo Xiaoyou established an organization called "Dongchang" to monitor his officials, but this organization was temporarily only collecting intelligence. Zuo Xiaoyou's current energy was temporarily focused on the water battle with the Eastern Wu, and other issues, after he defeated the Eastern Wu, he would take his hands to deal with them.

After the autumn harvest of that year, Zuo Xiaoyou led a hundred new warships, carrying 100,000 naval troops on the Yangtze River, and launched a cross-era crushing battle with the Eastern Wu naval army.

The cannons roared, and the artillery fire was everywhere. The warships of the Eastern Wu were on the Yangtze River. They were not even close to each other. They were all bombarded by the New Han artillery into the bottom of the river. The 30,000 Eastern Wu naval troops were wiped out.

Without the defensive power on the water, the Dongwu Cave Gate was wide open, and the Xinhan large ship transported 100,000 land troops to the Dongwu battlefield.

The news reached Sun Quan's ears, and Sun Quan vomited blood on the spot and fainted. The ministers from Jiangdong were shocked. After some discussion, they all submitted a letter to Sun Quan and surrendered to the New Han.

When Sun Quan saw the ministers' statement, even Lu Su, who had supported the war most, was silent, and Zhou Yu died in artillery fire. Now the Eastern Wu no longer had the power to resist the New Han.

After spitting out another mouthful of blood, Sun Quan trembled his hands and accepted the fate of surrender.

Just as Zuo Xiaoyou led the army to harvest the Eastern Wu, Sun Quan's surrender letter was sent and he was willing to submit a letter to the emperor.

"Just just surrender?" Zuo Xiaoyou sneered, led his troops to Jianye, killed Sun Quan, destroyed the Sun clan, and completely occupied Jiangdong. Afterwards, Zuo Xiaoyou took all the civil and military officials and their clans in Jiangdong to Xuchang. After kneeling down to worship A Dou, he was sent to Bingzhou, allowing them to develop and build Bingzhou here, and also allowing them, the capricious Jiangdong clans to experience the bitter cold in the north.

The Jiangdong gentry was full of aristocratic families, which was not conducive to rule, so Zuo Xiaoyou made the decision to move these aristocratic families out, and then moved the outside population to Jiangdong to consolidate the rule of Jiangdong according to the new policy.

The report of Zuo Xiaoyou's battle to wipe out Jiangdong was quickly spread to the southwest and northwest, and for a moment, the world shook again. (~^~)
