Chapter 423 Guo Tu: Liu Bei is a jinx! I reject the Sun-Liu alliance! Jiang Xia
In the council chamber
Hearing his son Huang She's report, Huang Zu's expression remained unchanged; he simply said:
"Well, I see."
Huang She was not surprised by this.
His father has always had this kind of personality over the years.
Although Huang She reported to Huang Zu today about the deaths of Liu Biao and Liu Qi.
But Huang Zu's tone remained exactly the same as usual.
"Father, Liu Bei is still in the city. Should I go and capture him?"
Huang She volunteered.
Huang Zu tapped his fingers:
"what ever."
"it is good!"
Huang She led two squads of soldiers away quickly.
An hour later, Huang She returned to the council hall looking disheveled and as he drank water while cursing loudly:
"Father!"
"That Liu Bei is extremely cunning!"
"When I arrived with my men, Liu Bei and his three companions had already left."
Huang Zu nodded and said:
"It doesn't matter."
"Protecting Jiangxia is our top priority."
"You should go to Xiangyang yourself and surrender to Cao Cao."
"My only condition is that you do not harm the people and soldiers of Jiangxia."
"Yes."
Huang She bowed and left.
This is also the point that Huang Zu's son, Huang She, admires the most.
Don't let Huang Zu's good temper fool you; he never gets angry.
But in reality, it's because most things weren't considered important to Huang Zu.
Huang Zu's main mission has always been the same: to protect Jiangxia.
Huang Zu persisted in this mission for more than a decade.
From Sun Jian to Sun Ce and then to Sun Quan, he fought against three monarchs of the Sun family!
Now, this mission is about to be completed.
All Huang Zu had to do was guard the last post in Jiangxia and make sure that Cao Cao's camp would really not harm the soldiers and civilians of Jiangxia as agreed.
If Cao Cao's camp breaks its oath, Huang Zu will fight Cao Cao's army with the remaining Jiangxia navy, even if it costs him his life!
It is worth mentioning that.
Huang Zu is the only general in the late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period whose benevolent policies are recorded.
He was not a feudal lord, but merely the governor of Jiangxia and a general, yet he was able to implement benevolent policies, which demonstrates his character.
(Among non-feudal lords and generals, he is the only one recorded as having implemented benevolent policies.)
……
Jiangdong
Wu County
Sun Quan's residence
Upon learning of the deaths of Liu Biao and Liu Qi, Liu Cong planned to defect to Cao Cao.
Sun Quan's eyes widened, he stood there stunned for several seconds, then stomped his foot angrily on the floor and cursed:
"What kind of idiot is Liu Qi?"
"Liu Biao is old, so it's alright if he dies."
"Then what's the point of Liu Qi dying?"
"With him dead, everything's fine now; Jingzhou belongs to Liu Cong!"
"Can Liu Cong really become the governor of Jingzhou? Does he even have the ability? Is the next step to change his surname to Cao Cong?"
Sun Quan was furious.
It's a shame he was thinking of allying with Liu Bei against Cao Cao.
Damn it! Both Lius are gone, and the other Liu wants to defect to Cao Cao, so who can he ally with?
Zhuge Jin cupped his hands in a timely manner and said:
"My lord, I've heard that Liu Bei is still alive."
"Maybe we can..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guo Tu jumped out, sighed, and pointed at Zhuge Jin.
"Ziyu, how could you be so confused?"
"what???"
Zhuge Jin was stunned.
I remember we used to be on good terms, so why did you suddenly start cursing at me?
Guo Tu shook his head with "regret" and criticized:
"Ziyu, what's next to Liu Bei?"
"I'm asking you, what does he have?"
Zhuge Jin forced himself to say:
"Liu Bei had the status of a member of the Han imperial family, and he also had the generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."
"anything else?"
Faced with Guo Tu's relentless pressure, Zhuge Jin found himself at a loss for words.
It's not that he can't speak, it's just that Liu Bei really doesn't have much to say!
When he was in Xuzhou, he was doing quite well, and he had tens of thousands of troops under his command.
Then, things just got worse and worse.
His only constant companions were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Apart from that, almost everyone else is dead.
wrong!
Zhuge Jin seemed to remember something.
Besides Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei now also has Zhuge Jin's dear younger brother, Zhuge Liang, by his side!
Guo Tu said angrily, "They are not competitive enough."
"Ziyu, Liu Bei is a jinx!"
"While in Xuzhou, he caused the death of Tao Qian."
"Upon arriving in Jingzhou, he brought about the deaths of Liu Biao and Liu Qi!"
"In addition, he had served under Gongsun Zan."
"Look at this, he's already caused the deaths of several powerful feudal lords!"
"Tao Qian, Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan—weren't they all prominent figures among the warlords?"
"No matter how important they are, it's useless. Wherever Liu Bei goes, they're doomed!"
"You bastard!"
Sun Quan gasped.
Holy crap, that's terrifying!
Now that you mention it, Liu Bei's military achievements are truly remarkable!
Zhuge Jin quickly defended himself:
"You can't say that, can you? The deaths of those feudal lords might just be a coincidence..."
Guo Tu immediately launched into a tirade of profanities:
"Ziyu! Are you willing to bet that this wasn't an accident?"
"Our lord has a strong fate, but even the strongest fate may not be able to withstand a jinx like Liu Bei!"
"Do you want to put our lord in danger?"
"No matter what, I, Guo Yu, will not allow my lord to suffer such a risk!"
Having said that, Guo Tu patted his chest, his expression impassioned, like the most loyal dog guarding its master beside Sun Quan!
Sun Quan was deeply moved.
It has to be Mr. Guo!
Reliable! So reliable! You always make me feel so safe!
I don't know.
Compared to Liu Bei, Guo Tu's achievements were no less impressive.
He infiltrated Ju Shou's ranks and successfully eliminated him.
I witnessed Yuan Shao's downfall in Ye City. (To be honest, Guo Tu can't be blamed for this.)
He led Yuan Tan a thousand miles to his death, helping Yuan Tan become a prisoner of Cao Cao's army.
Infiltrate a high-ranking official's camp and eliminate him!
Now he's infiltrated Sun Quan's inner circle.
Guo Tu has already secured four kills; a pentakill is just around the corner!
In fact, Guo Tu was also very remorseful.
If he had known that Liu Biao and Liu Qi were so fragile, he should have gone undercover in Xiangyang first!
By eliminating a feudal lord, Guo Tu's rank was elevated by one level. In all calculations, Guo Tu did indeed suffer a loss.
At this moment, Zhuge Jin was rendered speechless by Guo Tu's words.
Seeing that Zhuge Jin had already entered Guo Tu's rhythm, Guo Tu further stated:
"Ziyu, I heard that your second brother is now a strategist under Liu Bei?"
"Let him find another lord to serve immediately!"
"There were other people who followed Liu Bei, such as Mi Zhu and Chen Dao."
"But these people died long ago in Xuzhou!"
"How tough is your second brother's life? Liu Bei can only have Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side, no one else is allowed!"
Zhuge Jin was drenched in sweat, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
He made up his mind that he absolutely could not let Zhuge Liang continue to follow Liu Bei.
What should Zhuge Liang do if Liu Bei were to lose again someday?
If you don't have the luck of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, don't get involved with someone like Liu Bei!

P.S.: I'll take up ten seconds of your time, godfathers.
I would like to ask all the godfathers who haven't rated this book yet to do so.
The author only realized today why other people's books have such high ratings, while his own book hasn't even reached nine. It's because other people's books actively encourage ratings and offer gifts. The author only just learned that ratings are based on ratings and gifts. (Please, everyone, give me a gift! Even a simple "charity for love" is fine; it's free, and each person can give a maximum of three gifts per day. There's an extra chapter for every 50 gifts received.)
I believe that the handsome readers who have made it this far are all quite interested in history. This book by the author is extremely polarizing; those who aren't interested in history will only glance at it for a few minutes before leaving; only those who are interested will stay and read on. As a result, many readers who didn't like the book read two or three chapters, criticized the author, gave it a low rating, and left (the author is heartbroken).
The young author hopes to bring even better stories to all the godfathers with even greater creative enthusiasm in the future. Please, godfathers, give the young author some ratings and gifts! Thank you so much!!!
