Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The civil officials Xiang Lang, Yi Ji, Ma Liang, and the generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Huo Jun all reported to Liu Jue. Together with the 10,000 soldiers that Liu Biao had given them, the army immediately set out for Jiangxia.
What surprised Liu Jue was that Xiang Lang not only came by himself, but also brought his nephew Xiang Chong. This person was also a general of the Shu Han Dynasty. Even Zhuge Liang had praised him in his apprenticeship.
"I didn't expect the system to offer a buy one get one free!”Liu Jue was overjoyed.
Xiangyang was not too far from Jiangxia. The army would only need a day to reach Xiakou by boat.
On the bow of the ship, Liu Jue was wearing the Red Refined Armor with the Green Sparrow Saber hanging at his waist. The armor was black, and under the sunlight, it glowed with a faint red light.
In these three days, Liu Jue had completely absorbed the Marrow Cleansing Treasure Pill, greatly strengthening his physique. Not only did he grow taller, but his body also became much stronger.
Coupled with the treasured saber and armor, he was truly a heroic young general!
"Martial Force 89, Intelligence 84, Political 86, Commander 82.”
Liu Jue stood at the bow of the ship and looked at his data panel. He could not help but be shocked. He did not expect the improvement of the Marrow Cleansing Pill to be so terrifying.
The greatest increase in his martial strength was almost to break through 90, reaching the level of a first-rate general. The smallest increase was in his politics, which also reached the level of a second-rate general.
"With 89 points of martial strength, along with the treasured saber and armor, as well as the General Slaying Saber Technique, I'm afraid Guan Yu can even fight him!”Liu Jue thought to himself and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Young General, the river is turbulent. Please go to the cabin to rest.”
Just as Liu Jue was deep in thought, a voice sounded from behind him. It was a burly general who looked to be in his forties, but his temples were already graying.
Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng!
Liu Jue looked at Huang Zhong and said with a smile,"It's just a little storm. It's no big deal! General Huang, how is your son?”
"Thanks to Young General's miraculous medicine, my son's body is completely fine." Huang Zhong said gratefully.”
Huang Zhong had a son named Huang Xu. He was not even ten years old yet. A few years ago, he had contracted lung disease and had not been able to find a cure for it.
Huang Zhong had a son in his middle age and loved this son very much. Seeing his son getting thinner and thinner every day, relying on medicinal soup to hang him up every day, he could not even walk steadily. It could be said that he was burning with anxiety.
After Liu Jue learned of this situation, he did not hesitate at all. He spent 1,000 merit points to buy a Great Recovery Pill from the mall that could cure all illnesses.
Huang Xu's lung disease was immediately cured. Huang Zhong was naturally extremely grateful to Liu Jue, and immediately pledged his life to Liu Jue.
Spending 1,000 merit points to gain the loyalty of a valiant general, Liu Jue felt that this was a very worthwhile transaction.
"It's good that you're fine!"
Liu Jue nodded and looked at the river."At this speed, we should be able to reach Xiakou in half a night.”
Huang Zhong observed Liu Jue's expression and knew what he was thinking. He immediately said,"Young General, you don't have to worry. Even if Jiangdong receives the news of Huang Zu's death and sends troops to attack Jiangxia, it will take some time to prepare.”
" I'm not worried about that," Liu Jue said lightly." After all, what should come will come. It's just that Zhou Yu is a little troublesome for me."”
Everyone in the world knew about Lawrence's name!
Zhou Yu first assisted Sun Ce, then Sun Quan, and helped the Sun family conquer the vast River East. He was truly a man with a great reputation.
With the sudden death of the Huang Ancestor, Sun Quan would definitely take advantage of the unrest in Jiangxia to send troops to attack.
The most suitable candidate was naturally Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Chaisang and had attacked Jiangxia several times.
Huang Zhong smiled brightly and said," Young General, you're worrying too much. Ancestor Huang is old and muddle-headed, but he can still stop Zhou Yu. Young General, you're a young hero. Do you think you're inferior to Ancestor Huang?"”
Liu Jue's eyes lit up when he heard that. He laughed and said,"General Huang, you're right. No matter how famous Zhou Yu is, if he dares to attack Jiangxia, it's still uncertain who will win!”
He now had good generals, advisors, and tens of thousands of soldiers by his side. In addition, he had the system as a cheat. Could it be that he could not take care of Zhou Yu?
Liu Jue instantly felt his confidence increase.
……
When the fleet arrived at Xiakou, the sky had not yet darkened.
Xiakou was a very special city. Half of it was built on land and had tall and thick walls.
The other half was supported by countless wooden stakes and sat on the Yangtze River. There were also many city gates and parapets to guard against the navy of River East.
This was a military fortress that combined water and land defense into one.
More than half of Huang Zu's troops were stationed at Xiakou to guard against Zhou Yu, who was eyeing them from the east.
"I, Su Fei, pay my respects to the young general!”
"General Su, there's no need to be so polite."
The person who came out of the city to welcome Liu Jue's army was Xiakou General Su Fei, followed by several generals.
Liu Jue looked around and asked,""Where is Huang She, the son of Huang Zu?"
Su Fei immediately replied," Reporting to Young General, General Huang She is currently in West-Hill. He is handling the funeral of the prefect, so he is not in Xiakou. Please do not blame him."”
Liu Jue nodded and said," My parents are more important than the heavens. How can I blame him? When I settle down in Xiakou, I will also go to the West-Hill to mourn."”
" Young General, please enter the city. I have prepared a banquet for you and your colleagues." Su Fei cupped his fists and said.”
Su Fei had a way with people. No wonder he became the trusted general of the Yellow Ancestor.
At the banquet, Su Fei introduced his subordinates to Liu Jue, Deng Long, Chen Jiu, Gan Ning…
"Wait, you're Gan Ning?"
Hearing Su Fei's introduction, Liu Jue could not help but be surprised. He immediately looked at the burly man in front of him. He was tall and burly, and his face carried 30% fierceness, 60% heroism, and a hidden bitterness.
Gan Ning was stunned by Liu Jue's words for a moment before replying,"Young General, I am Gan Ning of Yizhou.”
