Xiangyang City, Zhennan General Manor.
When the news of Liu Jue taking down Chaisang came, Liu Biao was having lunch. After learning the news, he was so shocked that he did not care about his image as the governor of a province. He took the battle report barefooted.
"It's really Hu 'er! It's really Hu 'er!" Liu Biao read the battle report carefully, his hands trembling with excitement.
It had only been a few days, and Liu Jue had actually given him another huge surprise!
Taking down the four cities of Chaisang was equivalent to having a bridgehead to attack Jiangdong. The entire Jiangdong would be under the threat of Jingzhou.
At this moment, Liu Biao no longer had any other thoughts. His position as the Prefecture Overseer must be passed to Liu Jue in the future, and he could only pass it to Liu Jue.
The news of Liu Jue taking down Chaisang had spread throughout Jingzhou in just a few days.
Especially in Xiangyang and other places, almost everyone, from dignitaries to civilians, knew about this news.
Even Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and the others were shocked when they heard the news.
Ancestor Huang had been in Jiangxia for so many years and had been beaten up by Jiang Dong. He had fled in a sorry state several times.
However, when Liu Jue entered Jiangxia, the situation immediately reversed and he even defeated Chaisang.
This person really couldn't be compared to others. It would really anger people to death.
At the same time, Liu Jue's name also began to attract the attention of Jing Zhou's celebrities.
Putting Liu Biao aside, Liu Jue now ruled Jiangxia and Chaisang, with a population of more than 200,000 and an army of more than 30,000. He could already be considered a small feudal lord.
He was able to defeat Zhou Yu and take down Chaisang Town. If Liu Jue was given a few more years to sit on the position of Jing Prefecture Overseer, what would it be like?
In a chaotic world, which of those talented people did not want to assist a wise ruler and achieve great achievements, leaving their names in history books?
Liu Biao had Jingzhou under his control and had a hundred thousand soldiers. Why didn't Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and the others go to him?
It was because they all knew that Liu Biao was old and weak, and had no ambition. Although he was the ruler of Jingzhou, he was not someone worthy of being assisted.
On the contrary, even though Liu Bei was trapped in the small Xinye, it was because of his ambition that he was able to obtain the support of so many talents.
At this moment, Liu Bei, who was in Xinye, had also learned of this news. His emotions were also complicated.
Liu Bei had started his career by conquering the Yellow Turban. He had followed Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao. He had once owned a territory like Xuzhou and was even respectfully addressed by the Emperor as Uncle Huang.
It was a pity that he couldn't hold on to that moment of glory.
After twenty-some years, Liu Bei only had a small Xinye City and a few thousand soldiers.
This was because Liu Biao pitied him, so he let him settle down in Xinye. In fact, he wanted him to be a watchdog to guard against Cao Cao in the north.
Compared to Liu Jue, Liu Bei felt a deep sense of defeat.
Right now, Liu Bei was very envious of Liu Jue. If he had a father like Liu Biao, he would probably also be a feudal lord who ruled over a region. His strength would not be much weaker than Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
At the same time, Liu Bei was also shocked by Liu Jue's abilities. He was just 18 years old, yet he was able to defeat the famous general of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu, and even take down the four cities of Chaisang.
This made Liu Bei think of someone, the dead Tiger of River East, Sun Ce!
"This Liu Jue person will probably be the greatest obstacle to me taking over the Jing state!”
Liu Bei's face turned solemn as he looked towards the south. That was the prosperous land of Jing State.
Liu Bei had never denied that he coveted Jingzhou. It had a large population, fertile land, and many talented people. If he could occupy Jingzhou, he would have the capital to conquer the world.
Originally, Liu Bei thought that Liu Biao was already old, and Liu Qi and Liu Cong were not good enough to do great things. When Liu Biao died in the future, he would be able to gradually control Jingzhou.
What Liu Bei did not expect was that Liu Biao's youngest son was actually so capable.
It could be said that if you don't make a sound, you'll be amazed!
No matter how old Liu Biao was, he was definitely not a fool. In the future, the position of Jing Prefecture Overseer would definitely fall on Liu Jue's head.
Based on the talent that Liu Jue had displayed, Liu Bei felt that his chances of getting his hands on Jingzhou were infinitely close to zero.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt even more frustrated.
Just as Liu Bei was feeling uncertain about his future…
Jiangdong, Wu County.
The news of Zhou Yu's defeat and the fall of the four cities had already reached Sun Quan's ears.
Sun Quan's first reaction was disbelief, followed by rage, and then fear.
Yes, Sun Quan, who was so influential in River East, revealed a rare expression of fear when he learned that Chaisang had fallen.
It was impossible not to be afraid. The entire Jiangdong knew the importance of Chaisang.
In an instant, Sun Quan felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. It was as if the Jing State soldiers were about to attack in the next second.
Sun Quan forced himself to calm down. His gaze swept across the officials of River East before finally landing on the envoy in the middle of the hall.
Zhou Yu had sent this person to report to Sun Quan, and he would arrive in Wu County in a few days.
Sun Quan took a deep breath and asked the envoy,""Where is Gongjin now?"
The messenger replied," Reporting to Marquis Wu, the Viceroy is on his way to Wu County. However, the Viceroy's health is not good, so he was delayed on the way."”
"Poor health? What happened?" Sun Quan's words were filled with anger.
All 15,000 soldiers were gone, and now Chaisang City had fallen into the enemy's hands. This made Sun Quan inevitably feel a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yu.
The messenger replied," Reporting to Marquis Wu. When the Viceroy learned that Chaisang City had fallen, he vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Even now, he still can't walk. He had to be carried along the way."”
Whoosh!
In the hall, the ministers of River East were in an uproar.
Zhou Yu, the famous Jiangdong general who had made great contributions to the Sun family's foundation, actually vomited blood because of a defeat!
"What? Gongjin vomited blood and fainted!”Sun Quan was even more shocked. The dissatisfaction he had towards Zhou Yu instantly vanished.
No matter how much Sun Quan complained about Zhou Yu, he knew very well that Zhou Yu was his right-hand man, the person he relied on the most.
If something happened to Zhou Yu, who would assist him in conquering the world?
"How is Gongjin now?" Sun Quan hurriedly asked the messenger, praying in his heart that nothing would happen to Zhou Yu.
"The Viceroy's condition is fine, but the doctor said that he will need at least a few months to recover."”
"That's good!" Sun Quan instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said,"You can leave first."
"Here!" The envoy immediately left the hall respectfully.
Sun Quan looked at the officials of River East and said,""Everyone, now that Chaisang has fallen into Liu Jue's hands, I want to attack immediately.”
The officials of River East looked at each other. In the end, Huang Gai said,""Wu Hou, Chaisang is very important to our River East, so we must definitely get it back. However, now is not the time!”
"Why?" Sun Quan asked calmly. Are you all afraid of Liu Jue?"
"Marquis Wu, it's not that we're afraid of Liu Jue," Huang Gai said with a bitter smile."It's just that the Shanyue in the River East are starting to get restless again.”
"Shan Yue!"
When Sun Quan heard these two words, he instantly felt a headache. He gritted his teeth and said,"These damn nobodies. Can't they wait for me to take back Chaisang before coming out to cause trouble?”
