"What did you say? Jiangling has been breached? " Liu Biao could not get used to the news.
"My lord, Jiangling has been breached by the Yangzhou pirates!" "The messenger repeated.
"How is that possible?" Liu Biao's first reaction was disbelief. He was even more disbelieving than Dong Zhi. Dong Zhi did not believe that the Yangzhou navy would be able to reach the east gate. However, Liu Biao was told that the Yangzhou navy had breached Jiangling.
When did the Yangzhou navy become so powerful? Even if Xiangyang was breached, Liu Biao would not have such a reaction. Xiangyang was originally a defenseless place. Once Fancheng was breached, Xiangyang would be a flat land. That was why Liu Biao panicked when Liu Bei took Fancheng. Now that Fancheng was occupied by Cai Mao's 30,000 troops, Liu Biao and Cai Mao were not on good terms. Liu Biao did not even dare to believe that Cai Mao would rebel. Jiangling was different. It was the second largest city in Jingzhou and it was also a subsidiary capital of Xiangyang.
Liu Biao wanted to create an escape route for himself and for the future generations of the Liu family to not have to starve after his death. After all, Gongsun Zan of Liaodong, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu of Yangzhou were all examples. Once they were defeated, they became rats on the streets. They could not even protect their families.
Even if the victor did not kill all of you, those who wanted to curry favor with their future masters would get rid of you on behalf of their masters.
Therefore, to Liu Biao, Jiangling was not just a city. It was also an escape route for the Liu family. With this escape route, Liu Biao would be able to rest in peace after he passed away. Even if Jingzhou was lost, he could rely on Jiangling to make a comeback for his descendants. At the very least, he could rely on Jiangling to prolong his feeble existence. Over the years, Liu Biao didn't just give Jingzhou's money to the army. He also sent most of the money and provisions to Jiangling. Saying that Jiangling had enough provisions for 100,000 soldiers was just a lie. Liu Biao did not allow the other four great clans to get their hands on Jiangling so that the army would be able to get their hands on them. Jiangling had the Yangtze River in front of it and Huarong Road behind it. How could it be breached? Liu Biao did not believe it. However, there was no such thing as April Fool's Day. Moreover, how much courage does this little messenger have to deceive Liu Biao, the Lord of Jingzhou?
"What's going on?" Liu Pan was also frowning. Why was that? This was because Liu Pan had just extended his hand into Jiangling. He had just wiped out the Wu Clan and made an example out of the Huang Clan. He had also subdued Jiangling Governor Dong Zhi. With Dong Zhi around, it could be said that half of Jiangling was already in his hands.
Now, he was telling Liu Pan that Jiangling had been breached by the enemy and occupied by the Yangzhou Navy.
That was the provisions and equipment for 100,000 troops. 'Isn't the Yangtze River's river channel already blocked? ‘
'They, they came from the direction of Huarong Path. They attacked my city from the east gate! The messenger explained to Liu Pan.
"Huarong Road? Everyone subconsciously avoided Huarong Dao because this place was completely a dangerous place. How could an army march there?
"Impossible!" Huarong Road had been a forbidden area since ancient times. Those who entered did not survive. Even if they were lucky enough to come back, they would not live long. Why would they come from Huarong Road? " Liu Pan denied it without even thinking about it.
"That's because they have the map of the Wu family!" The messenger reported what he had seen and heard. The news that the eldest daughter of the Wu family was still alive was also spread.
"The Wu family?" 'There are quite a number of people here who are smart enough to know that the Wu family is the Jiangling Ship King. The Wu family has been in Jiangling City for generations. When the previous Jingzhou Provincial Governor was Wang Rui, the Wu family was even the Jiangling Governor. It's not strange for the Wu family to have Huarong Dao's map. Yi!
"Good, good. There are still survivors of the Wu family!" Liu Pan shouted. If he did not have evidence of the Wu family's rebellion before, he had it now. They had colluded with the Yangzhou Navy to attack Jiangling City through Huarong Road.
After listening to Liu Pan's words, Huang She realized that the situation was not good for him. Just a moment ago, he was still pleading for Wu family's loyalty. But now, Wu family is rebelling. Isn't this a slap in the face? Huang family might even be dragged into this mess.
"Why would the Wu family give the Yangzhou Navy a map? How did they collude with each other? Could it be that someone had been plotting with the Wu family for a long time?" As expected, Liu Pan quickly moved the flames of war to Huang She.
'My lord, the Huang Family's loyalty to you can be seen from the heavens! My father guarded the borders for my lord and killed the enemies. As the leader of my lord's personal guards, how could I betray my lord?! "My lord, please investigate!" Huang She wanted to get rid of him.
"This person must have lied about the military intelligence! My lord, please take him down and interrogate him! " Huang She looked at the messenger. This person had brought bad news. If things went wrong, the Huang family might be implicated. That was why Huang She wanted this messenger to die.
"I'm innocent, innocent!" The messenger was panicking. If he was arrested by Huang She, would he still be alive? "My lord, please investigate. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to lie about the military intelligence!" The Wu family had indeed given the map to the Yangzhou Navy. That was why the Yangzhou Navy had left Huarong Road and attacked Jiangling City. All of this was because the eldest daughter of the Wu family wanted to take revenge on behalf of the Wu family. That was why she took the map and joined the Yangzhou Navy! "The messenger was engraving his head. It turned out that the Wu family was forced to rebel.
Who was the one who forced the Wu family to rebel? Naturally, it was clear at a glance.
Liu Pan was the one panicking now!
"Nonsense!" "Yes.
