The encounter with the tiger the day before didn't affect the army's march the next day. Lü Bu probably knew that Liu Mang was tired from fighting the tiger, so he let Liu Mang's City Guard act as the rear of the army before they set off.
The gap between the rear army and the front army could be as long as half a day.
Liu Mang slept until late in the morning before he woke up. Fortunately, there was a responsible general like Chengyu in the army, so Liu Mang was able to lead the army as soon as he woke up.
Before leaving, Liu Mang also visited the He sisters, mainly to see if He Yu's wound was infected.
He Yu's wound hadn't completely scabbed, so she could only stay on the stretcher.
Seeing Liu Mang's arrival, He Yue didn't act out of character and was very obedient. However, her sister, He Yu, who was always calm and composed, was a little flustered. When she saw Liu Mang's arrival, her pale face, which was due to excessive blood loss, actually had a trace of redness.
She knew from her sister that the white silk cloth around her chest was tied by this person in front of her. The torn white silk clothes and the dudou that came off.
"Are you feeling better?" Liu Mang didn't know that He Yu would be so surprised when she saw him, so he asked casually.
"Yes, thank you General Liu for saving my life!" He Yu's gratitude wasn't wrong. Liu Mang not only saved them from the tiger's mouth, but also helped her bandage her wound. It wasn't much to say that he saved her life.
"You don't have to thank me!" To be honest, Liu Mang didn't want to save them. The warhorse panicked and ran in front of the tiger. After that, Liu Mang took advantage of the bandage.
From He Yu's complexion, there shouldn't be any infection. Otherwise, she would have had a fever by now. "The wound is bandaged, but we need to change the cloth and apply medicine!" Yesterday, because there was no medicine, they could only clean and bind the wound. Now that they were in the camp, they naturally had to use the medicine to treat external injuries.
"You need to change the cloth?!" Yesterday's scene had already made her extremely embarrassed. When she saw Liu Mang, it was difficult for her to raise her head. Now, she had to do it again.
"Yes! That white silk cloth might not be clean! "The wound had been bandaged for a long time, so it needed some fresh air.
"Can I not change it?!" He Yu felt that she was fine now.
"It's up to you, but if the wound worsens, there's nothing I can do!"
In fact, a normal bandage could last for three days. Liu Mang only needed to apply medicine this time. Medicine for external injuries could speed up the recovery of the wound.
"Sister, just change it!" Just when He Yu was hesitating, He Yue who was on the side actually spoke up for Liu Mang.
"But!" He Yu really didn't want to do it again. This required her to take off half of her clothes and expose her embarrassing parts in front of others.
"Sister, have you forgotten that he is Steward Zhang's son?" Qiao Yue said.
"Butler Zhang's son?!" He Yu's charming face had a sad expression. Because of a small scratch, Steward Zhang's son's wound worsened and he lost his life at a young age.
He Yu glanced at Liu Mang and then looked at her sister. She gritted her teeth. Anyway, she had already been seen once. It didn't matter if he saw it again.
"Sorry to trouble you, General Liu!"
This time, He Yu was awake, so Liu Mang couldn't make unnecessary movements like last time. He took off her clothes and removed the white silk cloth. He sprinkled medicinal powder on the wound and used the cloth that had been boiled in boiling water to bandage He Yu. The whole process was done in one breath.
However, because He Yu was awake, she had a shy expression on her face. In addition, she subconsciously crossed her arms to block Liu Mang's view, which added a touch of charm for no reason.
"The medicine is changed! My army is about to set off. I will send someone to send you to Shuxian. "Since the He sisters were the family members of Sun Cejun's senior officials, they would be taken care of in Shuxian. Liu Mang didn't need to intervene.
"Thank you very much, General!"
Chengyu sent a small group of cavalry to escort the two women. After that, the army set off.
After Shucheng, they would reach Shiting. This was a strategic town. Its terrain was very dangerous. If you want to enter Jiangdong and Lujiang, you must go through Shiting. If there were soldiers stationed at Shiting, the Lvbu's Army would lose at least ten thousand people to attack Shiting.
The battle of Shiting showed the importance of its location.
Fortunately, Sun Ce's policy allowed the Lvbu's Army to smoothly pass through Shiting. The Lvbu's Army was not afraid of war, but they didn't want to fight an unnecessary war.
When they passed through Shiting, everyone's face was very serious. Although Sun Ce said to let them pass, they couldn't let down their guard. The whole army was on alert. After passing through Shiting, they finally felt relieved.
"All troops march quickly. In front of us is Wancheng city. When we reach Wancheng city, we will have hot food and tents!" Sun Cejun sent a guide and told Lü Bu to prepare the army's necessities in Wancheng city. Therefore, Lü Bu simply ordered the whole army to march quickly and rest in Wancheng city.
If Sun Cejun entertained them, then it would be fine. If they used a trick, then they would be no match for the Bing Province Cavalry.
Wan Cheng, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Qianshan was the fief of the Wan Kingdom. It was under the jurisdiction of the Wan Kingdom and was the capital of the Wan Kingdom. In the Han Dynasty, it was not the capital of Lujiang. Instead, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the governor of Lujiang, Lu Kang, moved the capital of Lujiang to Wan County to avoid war.
Some people might not know about Lu Kang, but Lu Xun must know. Lu Xun was Lu Kang's grandson. Lu Xun had studied under Lu Kang for many years.
Later, Yuan Shu became interested in Lu Kang's Lujiang. He sent Sun Ce to attack Lujiang. After the city was breached, Sun Ce died of illness. The Lu Family also fell from grace. Even the fallen Lu Family could make Sun Ce lose his reputation. Later, they could only compromise and use Lu Xun.
After Sun Ce captured Wancheng city, Wancheng city did not belong to him. It was thrown aside by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu accepted his fate and became the governor of Lujiang. Later on, Yuan Shu was defeated and Liu Xun occupied Lujiang. Later on, Sun Ce defeated Liu Xun. Liu Xun had no choice but to submit to Cao Cao. Now, Wancheng city was under the rule of Sun Ce.
With Wancheng city as a bridgehead, Sun Ce could attack the hinterland of the Central Plains. If he retreated, he could defend Wuyue. It could be said that this was an excellent strategic location. Of course, this was also the location of four battles. On the side, there was Jiang Xia. Huang Zu and the Sun family had been enemies for a long time. Lao Cao's Yuzhou was also on the side, waiting for Lao Cao to finish the battle of Guandu. In history, Wancheng city had changed hands several times.
"This Bofu Sun seems to have some ability!" Shucheng city still could not see the prosperity of Lujiang. But in Wancheng city, one could see it. There were a lot of people coming and going. On the road, one could see a lot of caravans. Moreover, these caravans were not afraid of Lü Bu's army. Was this a kind of confidence and recognition for Sun Cejun?
"Sun Ce used to be Liu Xun!" Chen Gong said, "Although Liu Xun doesn't have the ability to be a warlord, he is good at managing the land. It is a waste of talent to let him be a prefect!" Moreover, Liu Xun's predecessor, Lu Kang, was also a capable person.
"In any case, this Bofu Sun is much better than his father!" After Sun Jian's death, only a few old generals were left to Sun Ce. Some of the old generals were not convinced by Sun Ce. As for the soldiers, they were all swallowed up by Yuan Shu.
Even the imperial jade seal was only exchanged for a few thousand soldiers. Relying on these few thousand soldiers, Sun Ce was able to sweep Wuyue and take over Lujiang.
The conversation between Lü Bu and Chen Gong soon came to an abrupt end. This was because the vanguard sent a message saying that someone was welcoming them.
"It should be my lord welcoming the Marquis of Wen!" Sun Ce's messenger bowed and said.
"Your Lord is welcoming me?" Lü Bu was stunned for a moment. Although Sun Ce was only a general who went against the rebels and was the governor of Huiji, compared to Lü Bu who was the General who pacified the east, Sun Ce had his own territory. He had already pacified Jiangdong. It can be said that his strength was not weaker than Lü Bu.
But now, Sun Ce actually came out to welcome him. This made Lü Bu a bit confused.
"Gongtai, let's go!" Sun Ce came out to welcome him. This place was about 50 Li away from Wancheng City. For a warlord to welcome him like this, Lü Bu had to go and welcome him.
The army was still moving forward. Lü Bu took Chen Gong and Liu Mang. The three of them rode towards Sun Ce.
"In front of us are Lü Bu, Wen Hou and Lü Fengxian!" Sun Ce was the first to speak.
"Yes!" Lü Bu also replied. Lü Bu's side only had three people because the army was nearby. But Sun Ce's side only had two people. This was really courageous. They were not afraid that Lü Bu would directly capture Sun Ce and seize the Sun family's foundation!
"Ha ha!" A general came out on his horse. Diao Lin was on his head. He was holding a spear. He was wearing a purple gold armor. He was riding a red warhorse and stood under the sun. "I have heard of Wen Hou's name for a long time. But I never had the chance to meet you. I am Bofu Sun Ce. I respectfully welcome Wen Hou! "
"This!" Chen Gong and Lü Bu looked at each other with a strange look. This appearance and the red warhorse. If they did not look at the face, they would think that he was a copy of Lü Bu. But now that Lü Bu was wearing the Ocean Emperor's Sacred Garment, his image had changed a lot. If he was wearing the same purple gold armor, then today would be fun!
Two Lü Bu? One big and one small.
"Ha ha, Sun Jian's son is really a tiger. You are also very good, very good!" It was rare for someone to receive such praise from Lü Bu. Even if it was Cao Cao, Lü Bu only said that he was afraid of him.
"Father?!" When Lü Bu mentioned Sun Jian, Sun Ce's eyes darkened. But he recovered immediately.
"Wen Hou is overpraising!" A young scholar helped Sun Ce to answer.
"This is?!" Chen Gong also spoke.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce Wen Hou. This is my younger brother, Zhou Yu. Gong Jin!" Sun Ce did not say what position Zhou Yu held in Sun Cejun. Instead, he directly said that he was his younger brother. This showed that Sun Ce valued Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu?!" Chen Gong looked at the young scholar.
"Is he Zhou Yu?!" Liu Mang also looked over. Zhou Yu could be said to be a tall, rich, and handsome man. He was proficient in both literature and martial arts. His wife was also the envied beauty Xiao Qiao. If it was not for Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu would be the main character. Unfortunately, he was played to death by Zhuge Liang.
"This gentleman should be Chen Gongtai!" With Chen Gong's help, Lü Bu could achieve something and make people fear him. Chen Gong could be regarded as the Lvbu's Army's number one strategist. "Junior Zhou Yu greets Sir!" Zhou Yu's age and knowledge were not comparable to Chen Gong's. In Confucianism, he respected his teacher. Now that they were not meeting on the battlefield, he had to show the necessary etiquette.
"No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite!" Chen Gong declined with a smile. Then, he looked at Liu Mang with the corner of his eyes. He meant to say, "You see, you are so rude to me. Even Zhou Yu and Sun Cejun are so respectful."
"Tsk!" Liu Mang curled his lips.
"This must be His Highness the King Of Shu!" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also noticed Liu Mang. The title of King Of Shu could only be regarded as a joke. The land of Shu was still in the hands of Liu Zhang. The Lvbu's Army did not have any territory. This King Of Shu was simply a joke.
However, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce gave Liu Mang enough respect.
"You are too kind!" Liu Mang was praised by an outsider for the first time.
Under the deliberate or intentional compliments of the two sides, the Lvbu's Army and Sun Cejun were happy and harmonious.
