Chapter 621 Liu Biao's Death
At this time, Jiangling City was bustling with activity!
Previously, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to attack Jiangxia. After receiving the order, Guan Yu led 50,000 troops straight to Jiangxia without saying a word. With a swift stroke, he killed Huang Zu and seized Jiangxia's 50,000 troops.
In this way, together with the troops that Guan Yu brought with him, the number of troops under Guan Yu's command instantly swelled to 100,000!
Guan Yu, however, did not slack off and began training the Jingzhou navy!
Qianhe told him to be wary of Jiangdong!
Guan Yu naturally agreed.
He still believed in Chizuru's words, after all, she had real skills!
Help his older brother make a comeback!
This alone is enough for Guan Yu to admire and respect him!
...........................
Meanwhile, Liu Bei personally led a large army to attack Jiangling City.
Although the city had some defensive capabilities, it quickly crumbled under the unstoppable attack of Liu Bei's army.
Seeing that all was lost, Liu Biao died of shock during his escape.
After all, he was old and in poor health, so how could he withstand such a shock?
When Jiangling fell, the city was in chaos.
Liu Biao's wife, Lady Cai, and son, Liu Chong, were also captured alive by Liu Bei's army and brought before Liu Bei.
Meanwhile, Liu Bei was holding a victory celebration banquet.
Everyone in the mansion was present except for Guan Yu!
Liu Bei sat in the main seat, flanked by civil and military officials.
The text refers to Jia Xu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and others.
The Wu (武) refers to Zhang Fei, Wen Pin, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, and Chen Dao.
Huo Jun was also from Jingzhou, and he joined Liu Bei's forces.
Huang Xu was Huang Zhong's son.
They're already teenagers.
In particular, after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, his physique reached the level of Xiang Yu, the King of Chu.
With Huang Zhong teaching him swordsmanship, Huang Xu's current combat strength is 95 points, but his physical strength is at the level of Xiang Yu!
It can be said that Liu Bei is now many times stronger than he was at the same stage of his life!
Even when Guan Yu went to attack Jiangxia, he also took Gan Ning with him.
After all, it is only 200 years now, while Gan Ning had served under Liu Biao since 194 and did not serve under Sun Quan until 203.
So during this period, he was directly incorporated into Guan Yu's army and used to train the navy!
Just as they were holding a grand banquet, Qianhe and Yunxiao arrived.
A servant rushed in to report: "My lord, Daoist Qianhe has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei immediately stood up, his face beaming with joy: "Excellent! Daoist Qianhe has arrived! Everyone, please follow me to greet him!"
As he spoke, he was the first to jog out, and the others, seeing this, immediately stood up as well, not daring to be careless.
How can they be careless when their own lord is in such a state?
Soon, Liu Bei led his civil and military officials to greet them.
The Taoist priest, Qianhe, was dressed in a Taoist robe, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance. Beside him, Fairy Yunxiao was also exceptionally beautiful and beyond compare.
Liu Bei clasped his hands in greeting and said, "The presence of the Daoist Master and the Fairy is truly an honor to this victory celebration!"
Master Qianhe smiled and said, "Congratulations, Xuande, on capturing two cities in succession. Your strength has greatly increased. You are truly fortunate."
"Haha, this time it's all thanks to Daoist Qianhe. Come, come, I've already had a feast prepared. Please, Daoist and Fairy, don't find it too sparse!"
As he spoke, Liu Bei, in a very familiar manner, grabbed Qianhe's hand and led her inside.
Chizuru didn't stand on ceremony and followed her inside.
.......................
As the crowd escorted Daoist Qianhe and Fairy Yunxiao into the mansion, they entered.
After everyone was seated, the banquet became lively again.
After several rounds of drinks, Liu Bei put down his wine cup and said earnestly to Daoist Qianhe, "Daoist, although we have now gained Jiangling and Jiangxia, I still feel uneasy and do not know how to proceed. I hope you can give me some guidance."
Although he has the strategist Jia Xu, Qianhe is his guide, and he must ask Master Qianhe for advice!
After all, this is a true deity!
Master Qianhe nodded slightly and said with a profound look in his eyes, "Xuande, we should take the four prefectures of Jingnan first. These four prefectures are strategically important and have abundant food supplies. If we can take them, Jingzhou will basically fall into your hands, and you will have no worries about the rear."
After hearing this, Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "What you say is very true, Daoist. But who should be the right person to take over these four counties in Jingnan?"
Before Qianhe could speak, Zhang Fei suddenly stood up and shouted, "Brother, I, Zhang Fei, am willing to go and take those four prefectures!"
Zhao Yun also stood up and said, "General Zhang is brave and valiant. I am willing to go with you and lend you a hand."
Liu Bei did not nod, but looked at Qianhe.
