Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and even Wancheng's Zhang Xiu received a letter from Sun Ce. The meaning of the letter was to respond to the call of Shouchun's King Of Shu and not give up until he was dead.
Wancheng's Zhang Xiu and Yuzhou's Liu Bei didn't have such a big capital. They couldn't afford to support hundreds of thousands of people. However, they could still help Liu Mang spread the news. Liu Bei had the title of Imperial Uncle and also the position of Left General. It could be said that he was one of the best in the entire Han Dynasty. Even Jiangdong's Sun Ce was only a Marquis of Wu and a Captive General. Although Liu Bei couldn't afford to play with people, he directly sent a memorial to the Han Emperor Liu Mang in Xu Du. He wanted to commend the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, as Yi King. He even wrote a letter to Sage Kong Rong in Xu Du. He wanted Kong Rong to help the King Of Shu to spread the news of Liu Mang's name among the scholars and nobles. Kong Rong, ever since he threw away the Beihai Governor, had been in the imperial court. He, Fu Wan and the others were discussing how to rescue Emperor Liu Xie from Xu Du so that Emperor Liu Xie could escape from Cao Cao's clutches. Now that he saw the letter from Imperial Uncle Liu Xie, he was naturally very happy. How to rescue Emperor Liu Xie from Xu Du was a problem because Cao Cao's influence was too big. It could be said that he had the power to overturn the imperial court. Such a person, whether it was in politics or military, was much stronger than Emperor Liu Xie. Emperor Liu Xie could only helplessly ask for external help. There was a blood letter on Escapist Liu's body.
The King Of Shu, Liu Mang, and Imperial Uncle Liu Pao were both relatives of the Han dynasty. Naturally, they were the foreign aid that the Han Emperor Liu Xie was prepared to use. Liu Pao's crying technique had completely confused the Han Emperor Liu Xie. He believed that this was the loyalty of the Great Han and that this person was the future savior of the Great Han. As for the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, the Han Emperor Liu Xie did not send anyone to contact him. This was because even though he was under house arrest by Cao Cao, he had almost no political rights. His orders could not leave the palace. However, Cao Cao did not hide from the Han Emperor Liu Xie. The King Of Shu, Liu Mang, was a person that the Han Emperor did not know. The reason why Liu Mang was given the title of King Of Shu and the title of General of the South was because Cao Cao had taken a fancy to Liu Mang's talent. Another reason was that Cao Cao wanted to sow discord between Liu Mang and Lü Bu. This was because Lü Bu had always been a rebellious person. He was headstrong and self-opinionated. If he knew that his son-in-law's position was higher than his and his title was higher than his, what would he think? Cao Cao wanted to see Lü Bu kill Liu Mang the most. However, Lü Bu did not do so. Not only did he not do so, he even accepted it as a matter of course. Using the title of King Of Shu, Liu Mang was very easy to get things done! The King Of Shu also had the title of General of the South. According to common sense, under the rule of the Han Dynasty, he could establish his own government. Therefore, Lü Bu could wantonly give out official positions. High positions and generous salaries were always the most tempting. Therefore, Sun Ce's territory in Jiangdong was much larger than Liu Mang's. However, Sun Ce's subordinates were all captains. The highest was Sun Ce. Sun Ce was originally just a general, but under Lü Bu's command, there were a lot of captives! Even Chengyu's position was higher than Sun Ce's subordinates! How could this be tolerated?
After that, the Emperor of Han knew that Liu Mang was because Liu Mang injured Cao Cao. Later, Liu Mang defeated Sun Ce who attacked Wancheng Cheng and swallowed Sun Ce's 100,000 troops. This made the Emperor of Han very happy. This was because the Han dynasty finally had someone who could fight and win. One must know that although Liu Bei was also a general and was very good at fighting, Liu Bei rarely won. He was always chased behind by others. Among them, Lao Cao was the most. What about the other members of the Han dynasty? Liu Biao was the Governor of Jingzhou, but Liu Biao had always been suppressed by Jiangdong. Liu Zhang of Yizhou was even worse. He was just a dog guarding the city. He could not even beat Zhang Lu. On the other hand, Liu Mang was someone who defeated Jiangdong's Little Conqueror. This made the Emperor of Han very happy! With this foreign aid, it was better than a thousand soldiers! However, the most painful thing for the Emperor of Han was that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, and the Emperor of Han were not familiar with each other! Although Liu Mang was given the title of King Of Shu and even said that he was brothers with the Emperor of Han, the two had never even met.
The Emperor of Han originally planned to secretly contact the King Of Shu, but he found out that the King Of Shu and Liu Mang had a grudge against each other! The Emperor of Han immediately felt uncomfortable. Both of them were his foreign aid, but they had a grudge against each other. If he paid attention to one of them, he would offend the other. If the two were not of the same mind, how could he save the Emperor of Han? Therefore, the Emperor of Han was in a difficult position. Should he look for the King Of Shu, Liu Mang? But now, there was no need to be in a difficult position! This was because he saw the letter from the Emperor of Han. It was full of high praise for the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. It was almost as if the King Of Shu was unparalleled in the heavens! He even asked for a reward from the King Of Shu. How was this a grudge? It was as if the two of them were close enough to wear a pair of pants.
Therefore, the Emperor of Han was very happy. He even laughed a few more times in the harem, ate two more mouthfuls of lunch, and approved without hesitation. In Xu Du, Xun You did not go overboard to stop it. After all, the Emperor of Han was only giving out some unimportant titles. Xun You would not ask too much because if he did, the Emperor of Han might really lose his human rights! He also had to give the Emperor of Han some face. Moreover, Xun You did not know whether he was loyal to Cao Cao, the world of Han, or the young Emperor of Han sitting on the throne! Therefore, the letter that Sun Ce sent over was blocked by Xun You.
Cao Cao did not receive Sun Ce's letter. He was busy fighting in Guandu. By the time he received it, it was already a month later. At that time, Sun Ce's plan had already begun.
…
The night slowly darkened in Lujiang's Wancheng City. On top of the city wall, the garrison stood guard.
Because of Sun Ce's attack on Wancheng City, the garrison at the gate had been replaced. A while ago, the defense was very strict because they did not know if Sun Cejun would play any tricks. But after a few days, the defense slowly relaxed. Generally, there were a thousand people guarding the gate at night. But today, there were only five hundred people guarding the gate. These days, the defense was very relaxed.
The thousand people guarding the gate had already found a house to rest. Outside the gate, there were some new recruits who had just joined the Lvbu's Army.
They were standing guard and chatting with each other, as if they were enjoying the cool breeze.
"Who is it!" Suddenly, there was a movement under the city wall. A new recruit shouted loudly.
"Movement?!" The hundred people hurriedly threw away the fan in his hand and ran to the city wall. There was really movement. There was no hair, but there was movement in the grass. Under the bright moonlight, a white thing jumped out from the grass.
"Rabbit!" The hundred people's face was full of black lines. This is movement? This is a person? People could make mistakes, so the hundred-man general didn't say anything. He picked up his fan again and was about to fan it a couple of times when suddenly …
"Who's there!" The new recruit shouted once again.
"Is there really someone?!" The hundred people and thousand people were selected from the Lvbu's Army. He naturally knew that some enemies could be disguised, but he was accidentally discovered by the new recruit.
The hundred people still walked over. He did not feel impatient. Under the moonlight, a rabbit jumped out. It was a false alarm.
"Is it a night guard? Don't make a fuss." The deputy shouted at the new recruit. "Haven't you seen a rabbit?"
"How do I know!" The new recruit was very wronged, but he did not dare to shout at the deputy. He could only whisper.
"What did you say?" In such a big place, even if the voice was soft, it could still be heard. The deputy was a little angry. He wanted to teach the new recruit a lesson.
"Okay, okay! He is just being cautious. "The hundred-man general waved his hand and stopped him. Otherwise, this deputy general would really teach this new recruit a lesson. The hundred-man general was willing to give a false alarm, because no one wanted to kill!
The hundred people waved his hand and was about to leave with the deputy. Suddenly, the new recruit shouted again. "Yes." Before he could say the word, he covered his mouth because the deputy raised his hand and was about to hit him. He was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth.
"Ah!" The hundred people shook his head. It seemed that another rabbit turned around and was about to leave.
Bang! Bang! Bang! There was suddenly a big movement under the city wall.
"Huh?" The hundred-man general frowned. Just as he was about to take a step forward, the sound became louder and louder. When it reached a certain level, even the hundred-man general himself could vaguely hear the sound of someone shouting.
"There is really someone!" The hundred-man commander suddenly walked towards the city wall. When he looked down, the hundred-man commander sucked in a mouthful of cold air. In the darkness, one after another, the hundred-man commander was moving. Under the moonlight, the hundred-man commander saw a large group of people rushing towards Wancheng city.
"Fire the beacons, beat the drums, tell the general that the enemy is attacking!" The hundred people directly pulled out the sword in his hand and shouted.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The whole Wan Cheng city fell into the sound of war drums.
"Who is beating the drums?" Lü Bu heard the sound of war drums in the Administration Office. He was at Mrs. Yan's place. He was preparing to have a good discussion with the couple about their son-in-law Liu Mang and their only daughter. This meant that the enemy was attacking the city in the middle of the night. Lü Bu frowned. It was very ugly. In the end, who could attack at night? Don't they want to live? One must know that in Wan Cheng city, there was not only the garrison but also the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. 5,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could resist 50,000 infantry. Moreover, only the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could attack the infantry. The infantry simply could not fight back.
Wancheng City was once again bustling with activity.
