Chapter 632: Awakening from the Dream

Liu Xun held the golden cup in one hand and the knife in the other, and was walking around the hall, restless and yelling from time to time.

"Boe, beat me, kill this guy."

In the hall, two guards pressed a little slave, waved their scabbards, and whipped them with a knife. The sound of "slap" was endless. The slave struggled hard, but could not break free from the guard's control. He cried and communicated with tears, and his butt was also opened.

"Good luck, please spare me!"

Liu Xun ignored it and looked at the broken golden cup in his hand, gritted his teeth with pain. Every time he looked at it, he felt a little resentment, and he kept calling for the clumsy little slave to death. He had a bad temper these two days, and everyone around him was careful, but this little slave was not conscious and actually ruined his beloved golden cup. It was tolerant, but who was intolerable.

"Where is Huang Yi, why haven't you come yet?" Liu Xun suddenly stopped and shouted: "Where has he been?"

"Mr. Huang Changshi has arrived." A guard whispered: "He said Mr. Man is executing his execution, and he is not convenient for him to see, so..."

Liu Xun snorted, waved his hand, and signaled the guard to drag the young slave who was about to be extinguished, then he said loudly: "Huang Zimei, come in. Now is not the time to pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor, I can't eat soon."

Huang Yi stood outside the atrium gate and sighed helplessly when he heard Liu Xun's shouting. He knew that Liu Xun was in a bad mood not because the little slave ruined his golden cup, but because the war was not going well. There was almost no news from Jiangling, and the army in Guanzhong had not been moved. The plan to attack Wan from three routes was probably unsuccessful. The person who was really angry with Liu Xun was Huang Yi. If the Huang family was not a first-class family in Jiangxia, if it were not for the food and supplies of Liu Xun's army, he would have turned against him long ago.

However, no matter how strong the Huang family is, it cannot afford to support a 10,000 army. Even if Liu Xun does not turn against him, the Huang family will turn against him. The descendant Huang Kui has sent someone to inform him that from now on, the Huang family will not provide Liu Xun with a grain of food. The head of the family Huang Wan came from Chang'an that the court's attitude towards Sun Ce was to appease Sun Ce. Unless otherwise absolutely necessary, Huangfu Song's army would not attack Nanyang. Huang Zu also sent back the news that General Jianwei Zhou Yu intended to make friends with the Huang family, but the premise was that the Huang family could no longer support Liu Xun, otherwise the good days of the Anlu Huang family would be over.

The strong enemy was pressing against the territory and foreign aid was cut off. Huang Yi didn't know what to do. But there was one thing he knew very well that he was regarded as an abandoned son by the Jiangxia Huang family and was useless. The court made peace with Sun Ce, and he and Liu Xun became obstacles. The Jiangxia Huang family was unwilling to turn against him and Sun Ce, which led to revenge.

This is not surprising at all. The aristocratic family has always been like this. Not to mention him, even Yuan Shao was abandoned by the Huang family. The head of the family Huang Wan was a supporter of Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao raised his army, Huang Wan, as the governor of Yuzhou, made great contributions and held heavy troops. It even aroused Dong Zhuo's fear and was transferred to the court. This is why he dared to betray Sun Ce, hoping to take the opportunity to change his family and be loyal to Yuan Shao.

One wrong step will lead to a deep abyss. If you want to survive, you have to not seek other ways.

Huang Yi turned around and walked into the door, and squeezed out a smile. "Mr. Fu, why are you angry?"

Liu Xun was full of murderous aura. "Zimei, your Huang family is also a dignified family. Why don't you keep your word? The promised food has been delayed for three days, and I'm almost out of my way."

"Mr. The Huang family is a noble family, but it cannot afford so many people. To be honest, all the food stored in the family has been given to the Mr. Fu. Now people are sending them to Changsha to buy them. It takes some time. Please be patient."

Liu Xun raised his eyebrows and his face calmed down a little. "Is there any news in Chang'an? It's been more than a month since I climbed to Wuguan, so there was no movement at all. Zhou Yu attacked Jiangling, and Chen Ji couldn't even spread a piece of news. I was worried that he would not be able to hold on."

"The imperial court has sent troops and is attacking Wuguan. However, Nanyang blocked the news. We have not received it yet. Zhou Yu surrounded Jiangling and could not capture it for a long time. It was a time of exhaustion. If the imperial court advances to Xiangyang and encircles Wei and asks Zhao for a plan, he will withdraw his troops. In this way, the siege of Jiangling will be lifted. If it is delayed, if Chen Ji thinks that the imperial court treats him like an abandoned son, and feels resentful, and surrenders to Zhou Yu, it will be too late."

"He dares?" Liu Xun sneered: "What do you say about the aristocratic family in Nanjun? Are you willing to help me?"

"They are all willing to support Fujun. They have gathered thousands of people and prepared a lot of money and food, just waiting for Fujun."

Liu Xun turned anger into joy, put away his sword and patted Huang Yi on the shoulder. "Zimei is indeed my strong man. Since the family of Nanjun knows the success and rebellion, we should not delay in Anlu, and start a military force immediately."

"Here." Huang Yi secretly wiped a cold sweat. At this point, he didn't care about Liu Xun anymore and found a way to transfer him from Anlu first to avoid the Huang family's disaster. Liu Xun's life or death is not important, and the safety of the Huang family is the real big thing.

Liu Xun ordered the generals to detach the camp and head towards Xiangyang. The news just came out, and before the vanguard could set off, the scout suddenly heard news that Deng Zhan's troops appeared on the east side of Yunmeng Ze and were rushing. What was even more terrifying was that they saw Deng Ji's battle flag.

After hearing the scout's report, Liu Xun's legs became weak and almost fell to the ground. He looked at Huang Yi with horror. Huang Yi was also scared and his back was covered with cold sweat. Deng Ji was Chen Ji's subordinate. He appeared in Deng Zhan's team, either surrendering Zhou Yu or betraying Chen Ji. No matter what, Chen Ji was in danger, and Jiangling might have been conquered by Zhou Yu.

"Is the news accurate?" Huang Yiqiang calmed down and shouted sternly.

"Shistor, it's true. In order to confirm this news, we have been latent in the grass. I also saw Deng Ji and his subordinates with my own eyes. They...they are not many, about 300 people, but they have all changed their equipment and are the ordnances of the Nanyang Army."

Huang Yi wanted to ask again, but Liu Xun was anxious. "Don't ask, Jiangling must have been lost. Zhou Yu is going to attack Xiling. Go quickly, go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave."

Huang Yi also cursed. "Mr. Fu, I think it's not only Deng Ji surrendered, but Chen Ji surrendered too. I've advised Fu, but Chen Ji was useless, but Fu was worried about his old love and refused to replace him. Alas, I just regret that I was not able to advise at that time, which caused this great trouble. With the solidity of Jiangling City, I didn't even support it for a month. Chen Ji deserves to die."

Liu Xun was upset and scolded Chen Ji for letting him down. He hurriedly summoned the generals again, changed his original plan, and immediately retreated to Xiling and defended the city. The generals were busy setting up camp, and the camp was messy and filled with people. Before they received the order, Liu Xun received another bad news: Huang Zhong and Li Tong were approaching Suizhou, fifteen miles away from Anlu, and there were thieves from Lulin Mountain with them.

Liu Xun "punched" and sat on the ground. After a while, he suddenly jumped up, drew his sword and rushed out, running and shouted: "Hurry up, go back to Xiling, go back to Xiling!"

Huang Yi followed, took two steps, but suddenly woke up, quietly slowed down, and retreated aside.
