"Men, follow me and shout. General Huang She, please help me!" Liu Mang shouted to his subordinates.
"What? My lord, what are you doing? " Guan Hai and Zhou Cang did not understand. They were obviously trying to attract the enemy's attention. They were already waiting for death. If the enemy was in a good mood, they could live a little longer. But now, they were shouting for the enemy to kill them!
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were stunned. The four men of sacrifice beside Liu Mang shouted without hesitation, "General Huang She, please help me!"
"Just shout. I'll explain to you later!" Liu Mang replied. There was no time to tell Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang nodded. Two loud voices immediately echoed across the river.
Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe were shouting the loudest. Jia Xu was afraid of death. Now that he might not die, he would naturally shout with all his might. His voice was even louder than Guan Hai's and Zhou Cang's. It was truly a sight to behold.
"What's wrong with Liu Mang?" Zhang Fei was also stunned. Was Liu Mang crazy? Huang She's troops were not here to save them. They were here to kill them. If he shouted now, wouldn't he be hastening his own death? Zhang Fei could not understand and decided not to think about it. Anyway, Liu Mang was going to die. It did not matter what he did. He thought about how he killed Liu Mang and got rid of a big threat for his big brother. He would avenge his uncle and nephew. His big brother would definitely be very happy and reward him with good wine. He would ask for ten jugs, no, just twenty jugs. No, no, he could not be greedy. Thirty jugs. Yes, just thirty jugs of good wine would be enough.
Zhang Fei was happily thinking about it. But soon, he could not laugh anymore.
Huang She's fleet was getting closer and closer. Liu Mang looked at the warships and took a deep breath. These warships were the active warships of the Jingzhou Navy. Moreover, they were equipped with ballistae. Liu Mang could not believe it. If he had met Huang She's fleet first, Liu Mang would have been thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the turtles.
This Huang She is really capable. He actually has a warship equipped with ballistae. If Liu Mang is killed by the ballistae, then he will really become a joke. Huang Family, Huang Family. Liu Mang's heart is filled with hatred. This time, he is completely ruthless towards Huang She.
Huang She's fleet quickly arrived at Luo Kou Du. A young general was sitting on the command platform, watching everything that was happening in front of him. His name was Huang Ri, a member of a branch of the Huang Family. Although he was also part of the Huang Family, he was very far away from the Huang Family. Even if he was a noble, he would at most be a gatekeeper or a prison warden. But now, he was a captain, a captain of the main fleet. He had three warships under his command and was in charge of a thousand people. He was very awe-inspiring. Huang Ri, on the other hand, was able to climb to such a high position at such a young age because he knew how to flatter. In order to establish a connection with the Huang Family's Eldest Young Master, he took the initiative to pander to Huang She. He even sold several small houses and fields left behind by his ancestors in order to deliberately lose to Huang She in the casino. Moreover, in order to establish a connection with Huang She, Huang Ri lowered his own seniority, calling Huang She his uncle. If it was based on age, Huang She was a few years younger than Huang Ri. Fortunately, the genealogy of these people was chaotic, so there was no need to care too much about it.
But ever since Huang Ri established a connection with Huang She, he really soared. Huang She was because of his father. His father, Huang Zu, was really afraid of Huang She. Huang Zu was simply a scammer. Once he scammed his father, Huang Zu's original tens of thousands of Jiangxia Navy soldiers were all gone. Do you think Huang Zu still dared to let him command the army? He directly sent him to be a clerk under Lord Liu Biao.
But Huang Ri was different. Under Huang She's recommendation, Huang Zu could not help but give his son face. Step by step, Huang Ri was promoted to the position of Navy Captain.
This time, Huang She brought two warships. Huang Ri did it behind the back of his superior. Moreover, this time, he needed money to replace the warships, maintain them, and transport provisions. With just a few words, Huang She directly brought the money for the warships.
"General, we are leaving our post without permission. Will it be?" The deputy general on the side was very worried. If leaving their post without permission was really counted, both of them might not be able to bear the consequences. They might even be beheaded for disobeying a military order. Therefore, the deputy general was very worried.
"Huang Hua, you don't have to worry. With Uncle Huang She here, you don't have to be afraid of leaving your post without permission!" So what if they offended the general? So what if they left their post without permission? Huang Ri really did not care. After all, this Jingzhou was the Jingzhou of the aristocratic families. As long as Huang She was here, as long as the Huang family was here, they would naturally repay him. What's more, this time he came out while the warships were recuperating. It was all in the name of breaking in the warships. As long as he served Huang She well and made Huang She happy, he naturally had nothing to fear. At worst, he would be transferred to Changsha. The Huang family lost Jiangxia, but they gradually gained a foothold in Changsha.
"General, it seems that there has been a battle here!" Deputy General Huang Hua looked at Luo Kou Du and saw a warship lying in the middle of the river. Half of the ship's hull was submerged in the river, and there were still sparks of fire on the hull. Corpses were also floating in the river. It was clear that a battle had taken place.
"En!" Huang Ri nodded. Before coming here, Huang She had told him that this time, together with a general called Zhang Fei, they were here to intercept Liu Mang who was going to Xiangyang. Now, it seemed that this general called Zhang Fei had already fought a battle.
"Come, go and remove the iron chain!" Luo Kou Du was stopped by the iron chains. Although these iron chains were thick, their only function was to damage the warships when they weren't paying attention. If they were discovered in advance, then they would only need to send a few small boats to cut them down, allowing the river to once again flow unimpeded.
Soon, the iron chain that was as thick as an arm was removed and the two warships sailed upstream.
Zhang Fei's subordinates had not yet come forward to greet them when Liu Mang's troops took the lead and rushed over.
"Liu Mang, you little brat, are you courting death!" Zhang Fei sneered as he looked at Liu Mang's troops rushing over. He thought that Liu Mang wanted to break out of the siege. But when he heard the shout, Zhang Fei suddenly lost his calm.
"General Huang She, quickly help me, help General Zhang Fei eliminate the subordinates of the King Of Shu, Liu Mang!" A death soldier shouted towards the two warships according to Liu Mang's instructions.
"Yes, General Huang She, quickly dispatch troops and eliminate the King Of Shu, Liu Mang!"
"Huang She!" Liu Mang and Jia Xu were constantly paying attention to the situation of the two warships. Liu Mang was betting that Huang She did not follow the warships. How could Liu Mang not know about Huang She's current official position? Just like Pang Shanmin, he was an official in Liu Biao's mansion. Moreover, his position was lower than Pang Shanmin's, he was only a deputy. To put it bluntly, an official was a person who recorded the words of a leader. It could be said that as long as one knew how to read and write, they could do it. It was extremely boring.
Huang Zu did this to make Huang She feel at ease and to let Huang She learn how to make military plans. It must be known that although the official had no authority, he had followed Liu Biao to the Jingzhou Army. Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, and the others had all discussed military matters. Under this influence, he naturally knew how to make military plans.
However, Huang She had always been restless and had always wanted military authority. In order to let his eldest son settle down, Huang Zu naturally arranged for Huang She to be as far away from the military authority as possible. He also ordered that Huang She was not allowed to take half a step closer to the barracks. If he was discovered, he would be severely punished. When Huang She entered the barracks, Huang Zu could not punish Huang She severely. It could only be that the person who brought Huang She into the barracks was unlucky.
Therefore, Huang She did not dare to bring Huang She onto the warship. Moreover, this time, Pang Tong allowed Huang She to act as a backup. Similarly, Pang Tong was not a fool. Zhang Fei and the others acted first. If they could kill Liu Mang, then the one who offended the Lvbu's Army or Liu Biao would be Pang Tong's responsibility. If they could not kill Liu Mang, then Huang She would be the one to take the blame. In the end, Huang She would still frame Zhang Fei.
If Huang She appeared on the warship, then Liu Mang would definitely die. This was because Huang She knew Liu Mang. How could he forget the face of his enemy? Now, it seemed like Liu Mang had made the right bet. Huang She was not on the warship. Although the warship had a flag with the word 'Huang' on it and belonged to the Huang Clan, there was no Huang She on it. It was just a family general who was following orders. It was impossible for such a family general to have seen him. This way, Liu Mang could fish in troubled waters.
Liu Mang told Jia Xu about the Wuwei Rebellion. What exactly was the Wuwei Rebellion? Jia Xu had been appointed as a minister by Liu Mang in his early years. Due to illness, he resigned from his position and headed west to his hometown. On the way back, there was a rebellion in Wuwei. Jia Xu's luck was bad. He encountered the Di people and was captured along with dozens of others. The others were killed by the Di people. Jia Xu said, "I am the grandson of Duke Duan. Don't harm me. My family will definitely pay a large sum of money to ransom you." At that time, Grand Commandant Duan Zhang had been a border general for a long time. His prestige shook the entire West Earth. Therefore, Jia Xu pretended to be Duan Zhang's grandson to scare the Di people. As expected, the rebels did not dare to harm him and even swore an oath to send him back. Only then did Jia Xu survive.
This was the Wuwei Rebellion. Jia Xu's practical plan was very simple. He would pretend to be a descendant of the Duan Clan. Liu Mang was also using the same plan. He pretended to be Zhang Fei Jun to mislead the two warships into thinking that he was an ally. The real Zhang Fei Jun was the 'King Of Shu, Liu Mang' they wanted to deal with.
