SFS Chapter 631 Jiangdong Arrival
Chapter 631 Jiangdong Arrival
Seeing Liu Bei like this, Qianhe smiled and said, "Xuande, don't worry! Even if he dies, I can bring him back!"
"Really?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
But seeing how well Chizuru and the immortal were getting along, I felt relieved.
"Don't worry, now that you've taken over the four counties of Jingnan, you can say that Jingzhou is completely in your hands!" Qianhe said with a smile.
Nanyang, Xiangyang, Jiangling, and the four commanderies of Jingnan were all in Liu Bei's hands!
Liu Bei truly took control of Jingzhou.
Unlike the original story, Liu Bei only captured the four commanderies of Jingnan and Jiangling City.
Jiangxia was controlled by Jiangdong, while Nanyang and Xiangyang were under Cao Cao's control.
That's why Guan Yu needed to launch a northern expedition to attack Xiangfan!
...........................
"Hmm... it's Zhang Lu. He's already been driven back. What should we do next?" Liu Bei asked Qianhe.
Jia Xu has put him in charge of Jiangling City.
Once the rear was stabilized, he led his troops to support his second brother!
So this time I brought 50,000 soldiers.
“Zhang Lu, that Taoist priest, isn’t focusing on his cultivation. Instead, he’s attacking you. So, just take Shangyong from him. Then, the gateway to Hanzhong will be open, and we can take Hanzhong directly and then conquer Yizhou!” Qianhe said calmly.
Zhang Lu was considered the grandson of Zhang Tianshi.
That is, the Five Pecks of Rice sect.
It was around this time that Taoist priests surnamed Zhang, belonging to the Celestial Masters sect, were basically targeted during the chaotic times.
Because Zhang Lu harbored ambitions of separatism, the Celestial Masters sect was given special attention during times of chaos in order to prevent them from having such ambitions.
To prevent them from rebelling!
"Great! With Master Qianhe by my side, I'm like a fish in water!" Liu Bei was overjoyed.
Chizuru:............
What?
You think he's Zhuge Liang, don't you?
You're saying you're like a fish in water now, but what will you say when you meet Zhuge Liang later?
Yunxiao, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled as she looked at Qianhe.
She thought the scene of Qianhe pointing out the landscape was so cool.
"Ahem, you should tell Zhuge Liang about 'like a fish in water'," Qianhe said with a dry cough.
Liu Bei asked, "Who is Zhuge Liang?"
"According to the original history, he is your strategist. However, you can seek him out to be your strategist after you defeat Jiangdong. With his help, Jingzhou can be secured!"
Chizuru said calmly.
Upon hearing Qianhe's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up!
.........................
"Alright, I'll follow Master Qianhe's arrangements!" Liu Bei said with great joy.
His future is truly bright.
However, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was particularly prominent in this regard.
Since Zhang Lu attacked him, he now had a reason to send troops.
At that time, we will take Hanzhong and present-day Jingzhou.
He really has the ability to take over Yizhou.
"We don't need to rush to take Yizhou. Let's take Jiangdong directly. Once we take Jiangdong, Xuande, you'll have Hanzhong, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong. With the population increasing, we can then contact Liu Zhang in Yizhou to launch a joint attack to destroy Cao Cao!"
“If Liu Zhang doesn’t agree, then you’ll have a reason to take him down. At that time, with the North and South in opposition, what will you have to worry about in conquering the world?” Qianhe said with a smile.
It is now the year 200 AD, and Cao Cao has not yet completely defeated Yuan Shao.
Moreover, Cao Cao never actually killed Yuan Shao; it was only after Yuan Shao died of illness that Cao Cao slaughtered Yuan Shao's three sons.
But it still took three years!
It can be said that three years was a huge period of development for Liu Bei.
This also shows that Cao Cao really didn't have the strength to fight Liu Bei to the death in recent years.
Especially after Liu Bei took control of the entire Jingzhou!
"Thank you so much, Daoist Qianhe, for showing me the way!" Liu Bei said gratefully.
He was genuinely grateful.
From the moment they met Qianhe, they captured Jingzhou in a short period of time.
Thinking back on the first half of his life, I really don't know how he got through it.
They're either constantly losing or constantly fighting despite their defeats. They've really had enough of living!
Just then, Liu Bei saw the approaching army.
When he looked closely, he realized it was his second brother, Guan Yu!
At this moment, only...
Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward, dismounted, and knelt on one knee: "Brother, you've come!"
Liu Bei quickly dismounted and helped Guan Yu up with both hands, his eyes full of concern: "Second brother, you have worked hard in this battle against Jiangdong. As soon as I heard the news, I immediately led a large army to come."
Guan Yu stood up, excitedly saying, "With my elder brother and the army's help, what do we have to fear from Jiangdong!"
Then he saw Qianhe, and Guan Yu bowed slightly and respectfully said, "Daoist Qianhe!"
Without Master Qianhe, the three brothers wouldn't be where they are today!
It's fair to say that if it weren't for Master Qianhe's appearance, his elder brother would have committed suicide on the spot, which was something he simply couldn't accept!
Qianhe waved his hand: "Guan Yu, the Martial Saint, is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, and his name will be remembered for eternity!"
