The person surrounding Lu Bu was none other than Sun Jian's eldest son, the little tyrant Sun Ce.
After the alliance was disbanded, Sun Jian did not rest for a few days in Luoyang before returning to Changsha with injuries. The bumpy journey not only caused his wound to open up again, but he also had a high fever.
Fortunately, his body was strong. After resting for a few days, his fever gradually subsided. However, at this moment, Huang Zu suddenly attacked Changsha Prefecture and quickly broke through the Dongting Lake defense line. Fortunately, Zhou Tai had pulled up seven or eight iron chains on the Xiangjiang River in time. Otherwise, Huang Zu's navy could have directly charged into Changsha City.
The army on Huangzu's land was similarly unstoppable. They fought all the way to the edge of the Miluo River before Huang Gai and his 15,000 soldiers could stop them.
The two generals guarded two strategic locations, and the New Year mission within the territory was handed over to Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, who had just turned sixteen.
This was the first time Sun Ce had been on the battlefield, and he naturally did his best. He led a thousand cavalrymen to patrol the shores of Dongting Lake every day. This was the easiest place to be ambushed.
Who knew that in less than ten days, he caught a big fish, making Sun Ce extremely happy.
Lu Bu looked at this child-like general and was very surprised. He had not expected him to be so respected by his soldiers at such a young age. He had only taken a step forward when his soldiers blocked him. After seeing his appearance, Lu Bu instantly knew who he was. To be able to look so similar to Sun Jian, there was only Sun Ce and Sun Bofu in the world.
"Don't worry, I'm not a secret agent of the Yellow Ancestor.”Lu Bu smiled at him and said,""Take me to Changsha City. Tell your father that an old friend from Luoyang City has come to give him a big gift.”
"You know who I am?" Sun Ce felt strange. How did this person know him?
"Hehe, like father, like son. You're the eldest son of X Literature Station, Sun Ce, right?”Lu Bu said with a smile. He waved his hand to signal his subordinates to put down their weapons. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It was better to take a risk and go to Changsha to see Sun Jian.
"Then who are you?" Sun Ce had never been to Luoyang, and in his memory, he had never seen his father have such a tall and handsome friend.
"Alright, take me to see your father and tell him that an old friend has come to help him deal with Liu Biao.”Lu Bu couldn't tell him his name. Otherwise, this hot-tempered brat would immediately encircle and annihilate his fifty-two men. Even though he was confident that he could lure them out together with Dian Wei, his plan was going to fail.
Seeing that Sun Ce was still hesitating, Lu Bu unsheathed his sword and handed it to Sun Ce's soldiers. Then, he said,""This is great, right? Why don't you let my subordinates take their weapons too?”
"Let's go, I'll take you to Changsha.”Seeing that Lu Bu had taken the initiative to remove his sword, Sun Ce dispelled his doubts and said to Lu Bu. He turned around and instructed his deputy general,"You take your men to continue patrolling. I'll take them back to Changsha.”
"Yes, Young General." The deputy general replied respectfully. He had been Sun Jian's trusted aide for many years and was extremely respectful to Sun Ce. Especially after seeing Sun Ce's performance these days, he was even more impressed. He never thought that a sixteen-year-old child could be so powerful.
Sun Ce led a hundred cavalrymen and Lu Bu's group to Changsha. Along the way, he had tried to beat around the bush a few times, but he still hadn't figured out Lu Bu's identity. Instead, he had revealed a lot of his family's matters. He was so frightened that he stopped asking Lu Bu questions and began to seriously tell him about the scenery along the way.
In the prefect's mansion of Changsha City.
Sun Jian was half-lying on the bed reading the battle reports. A servant came to report that the Eldest Young Master had returned with a guest.
Sun Jian found it strange that there were guests at this time. Could it be Yuan Shu's messenger? But it shouldn't be brought back by Bofu. Liu Biao's lobbyist? It didn't make sense. He was attacking like a rainbow, so there was no reason for him to persuade them to surrender.
Sun Jian, who did not know what was going on, could only send someone to call his son over and ask.
"I don't know who he is either. I only said that he is a friend of yours from Luoyang and that he is here to help us defeat Ancestor Huang.”Sun Ce answered honestly.
"Oh? In that case, let's go and take a look." When Sun Jian heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. At this stage of the war, defeat was only a matter of time. Now that a life-saving straw had appeared, Sun Jian naturally had to grab it.
After ordering people to carry him into the central hall and sit on the main seat, Sun Jian asked Sun Ce to bring Lu Bu in.
"Brother Wentai, how have you been?" Lu Bu asked loudly before he even entered.
Sun Jian was about to answer when he saw the person's face. He immediately stood up and cried out,"Lu Bu?"
"Hehe, it's me. Brother Wentai, don't be angry, I'm here to help you get rid of Ancestor Huang."”Lu Bu said with a smile. Ignoring the father and son duo, he sat down on the seat to Sun Jian's left.
"Lu Bu, what are you doing in Changsha?”Sun Jian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He sat down again and glared at him.
Sun Ce, on the other hand, didn't have such high self-restraint. He jumped up and pulled out the sword at his waist. He looked at his father. As long as he gave the order, Lu Bu would be beheaded.
Sun Jian shook his head at his son, then looked at Lu Bu. It wouldn't be too late to settle the score after hearing his words. Sun Ce angrily withdrew his sword and sat down opposite Lu Bu.
Lu Bu chuckled and said slowly,""Brother Wentai, when we were in Luoyang, we each served our own master. Moreover, there were three or four of you against me, so you can't blame me. Besides, I'm here to help you, Brother Wentai.”
Apart from the last sentence, Sun Jian ignored everything else Lu Bu had said. On the other hand, Sun Jian's face immediately turned red when he heard that his father was ganging up on Lu Bu.
Sun Jian was more concerned about his own fate and said,"Alright, let's forget about the past. Why did you come to help me this time?”
"Simple! He just didn't want to see Liu Biao become powerful.”Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Alright, how can you help me? You only have fifty people." Sun Jian already knew that he only had fifty subordinates, so he had no idea what Lu Bu was up to.
"Before I came to Changsha, I went to Nanyang and gave Yuan Shu an imperial edict. Brother Wentai, do you want to know the contents of the imperial edict?”Lu Bu deliberately whetted his appetite.
"What did the imperial edict say?" Sun Jian was curious.
Lu Bu stopped teasing him." His Majesty has ordered General Yuan Shu to lead the army to Xiangyang and suppress the Yellow Turban rebellion in Jiangxia." Brother Wentai, Yuan Gonglu will help you attack Liu Biao with all his might.”
When Sun Jian heard this, he just smiled and didn't say anything. Sun Ce shouted,"Great! This way, Liu Biao won't be able to support Huang Zu." The remaining Ancestor Huang was easy to deal with.”
In fact, even without the imperial edict, Yuan Shu would have restrained Liu Biao's forces. The imperial edict was only to legalize Yuan Shu's actions and strengthen Yuan Shu's determination. Thus, Sun Jian didn't say anything and waited for Lu Bu to continue.
Huang Zu's navy was led by Su Fei. They were now wandering around the mouth of Dongting Lake all day, looking for an opportunity to go upstream. One of Su Fei's subordinates was called Gan Ning. He was originally a pirate on the Yangtze River and lived a life of bloodshed. When Su Fei had recruited him, Gan Ning had immediately submitted to him. After all, he had become a soldier, and no one would be able to catch him if he robbed again.
Lu Bu's brilliant plan to defeat the Huang Ancestor had all fallen on Gan Ning. Right now, he had just joined Su Fei. It was very easy to persuade him to defect. Moreover, he still had the advantage of status. He was the emperor's special envoy.
Of course, Lu Bu wouldn't tell Sun Jian about Gan Ning. After all, the father and son were Gan Ning's true masters. " Don't worry, Brother Wentai," Lu Bu said with a mysterious smile." Within half a month, I'll help you get rid of his Internet Water Army." As for his army, although it was personally led by the Yellow Ancestor, it would probably be very difficult for them to break through the Miluo River.”
"Alright, if you can get rid of his troll army, I'll be extremely grateful.”Sun Jian didn't know what Lu Bu was up to, but since he had said it, he had to believe him. There was no other way.
"However, Brother Wentai still needs to prepare a merchant ship and sailors for me, as well as fifty sets of bows and arrows in case of emergency.”Lu Bu said with a smile. Without a boat, he wouldn't be able to find Gan Ning.
"Don't worry, I'll prepare it for you tomorrow. Do you want to load the goods on the ship?”Sun Jian agreed and asked Lu Bu.
Lu Bu shook his head and said,"No need. It's fine as long as we have a boat." Now, Brother Wentai, can you prepare some things for me first? I've been on the road for an entire day."
"Alright, Bo Fu, bring Wen Hou to the side courtyard to settle down. Urge the kitchen to quickly serve some good wine and dishes to Wen Hou. Oh right, and also Wen Hou's attendants.”Sun Jian stood up again, but this time, he was smiling.
The next morning, Lu Bu was led by Sun Ce to a military dock. A medium-sized cargo ship was already moored there, and the sailors on the ship were all marines. With them, the ship could easily pass through Sun Jian's defensive line.
Lu Bu looked at the boat. Nodding his head in satisfaction, he bid farewell to Sun Ce, who was still a little curious, and brought his subordinates onto the cargo ship. Sun Ce watched as the cargo ship slowly sailed out of Changsha City before returning to the prefect's mansion. He was still thinking about what he should do to get rid of Huang Zu's navy.
When he returned to the prefect's manor, Sun Jian was already waiting for him in the central hall. Seeing him return, he hurriedly asked,"How is it? He has already set off?"
"Yes, Father. But I still wonder how he managed to get rid of Huang Zu's Internet Water Army.”Sun Ce voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"Don't talk about this. Quickly get 500 archers to guard the dock. As soon as Lu Bu returns, shoot him to death. Get rid of this vicious wolf for me." Sun Jian slapped his thigh, but it hit his wound, causing him to scream in pain.
