Chapter 182 "Husband and wife return home"

Standing in the bow of the ship, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the river was windy. Liu Feng raised his eyes and looked at both sides of the river from afar, and his mood was very cheerful.

The breeze ripples the reeds on both sides of the Yangtze River with the fragrance of weeds and mud.

Look downstream along the direction of the Yangtze River, where there are large areas of reeds, and countless lakes and swamps as bright as a mirror.

The name of Chu is the country of thousands of lakes, which really lives up to its reputation.

Looking east again, I saw that the mountains were stacked, the county peaks were surrounded by clouds, and the blue was like a screen. The towering mountains were Chibi Mountain.

Once upon a time, it was the North-South War that took place here that determined the fate of the whole of China and many people.

Shortly after crossing the Chibi Mountain, the fleet quickly entered the land waters.

Since the Battle of Chibi, Lukou has become another important naval town outside the Eastern Wu Jibaqiu, where more than 10,000 Eastern Wu Water Forces and more than 400 warships are stationed. It is the second line of defense in the upper reaches of Gongwei Xiakou and Chaisang.

I walked slowly all the way, splurbed for seven days, and finally arrived at Lukou today.

"Have you arrived at Lukou?"

There was an ethereal and familiar voice behind him. Liu Feng looked back. Sun Shangxiang didn't know when he had left the cabin and was walking towards him with a smile.

She was dressed in red, with a long sword hanging from her waist. She came in the wind. Her clothes fluttered slowly, and her snow-like skin became whiter and dusty in the morning light.

"Well, it's almost there." Liu Feng nodded and took the opportunity to stretch out his hand.

Sun Shangxiang used to putting his delicate hand into his palm. The two stood side by side in the bow of the boat. Her eyes turned to the distance and muttered, "Can we really hide our strategy from Guan Yu?"

"If Zhuge Liang or Xu Shu is here, they can't hide it, but now the two I'm afraid of have entered Shu. We have made the strategy so seamless. With Guan Yu's wisdom, we can't see through it."

Liu Feng's words are so confident. This kind of self-confidence makes Sun Shangxiang feel at ease.

Going eastward, the ship is like the wind. Unconsciously, a fleet of more than a dozen warships has arrived at the waters of the land.

The Lukou garrison, who learned the news in advance, quickly sent escorted warships. Under the escort of dozens of large and small warships, the fleet sailed smoothly into the Lukou Water Village.

Before landing, Liu Feng saw from afar that Lu Su was looking up on the trestle, and behind him were Gan Ning and other Eastern Wu generals.

The warship docked, and Liu Feng helped Sun Shangxiang get off the trestle on the ship. Lu Su hurriedly led a group of generals to come forward and arched his hand and said, "Su has met Miss, I have seen General Liu."

"See you, Miss, General Liu."

The generals behind him shouted and then greeted the two of them. When they bowed, the armor rubbed and made a roaring sound.

Everyone knows that Liu Feng relies on the big tree of Dongwu, but Sun Shangxiang is the sister of the Marquis of Wu, and Liu Feng is the brother-in-law of the Marquis of Wu. This indisputable fact makes the civil and military of Eastern Wu still dare not lose the courtesy.

"You're welcome. I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if it's always good?" Liu Feng smiled and said politely.

Lu Su smiled and said, "With the blessing of the general and the young lady, his body is still tough."

Liu Feng turned his eyes to Gan Ning behind Lu Su again, "Last time General Xingba invited Dr. Zhang to treat General Gong Jin. I don't know if General Gong Jin's body is getting better now?"

Gan Ning's last time he invited Zhang Zhongjing was actually a "fake public for personal benefit". Presumably, Lu Su did not know it. Liu Feng shook out this matter in front of Lu Su. It was clear that he asked Zhou Yu's condition, but secretly provoked the upper and lower relationship between Lu Su and Gan Ning.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Su heard this, an imperceptible haze flashed between his eyebrows. Others did not know it, but they could not escape the intentional Liu Feng.

"General, the governor of Gongjin's illness has greatly improved. I'd rather thank the governor here." Gan Ning cared about it at all and thanked Liu Feng generously. Moreover, he still called Zhou Yu the governor.

You should know that Zhou Yu's position as governor has long been withdrawn by Sun Quan for the reason of recuperation. At present, Lu Su is the only one who can be called the governor in Eastern Wu.

Gan Ning thought about the old boss. Maybe it was just out of unintentional, but he didn't know that it was Lu Su's taboo to call him like this in front of so many people.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Lu Su's eyes again, but the smile on his face was even brighter. "It's windy here. Please ask the young lady and the general to talk in the Chinese army's tent."

Liu Feng achieved his goal, so he didn't say anything more. The guests were invited and accompanied by Lu Su, he took Sun Shangxiang to the camp.

After walking through the trestle and entering the gate, I saw the left and right sword mountain halberd sea shining a little golden light in the sunlight. The soldiers of the guard of honor were awe-inspiring on both sides, separating a gallop for them for parallel carriages and horses.

The road is not straight, but turns seven or eight times in the camp to the Chinese army. I looked all the way, but I saw that the barracks were scattered. A team of patrol soldiers was excited, the food and fodder piled up like a mountain, and the weapons were as bright as new.

Liu Feng worked hard to study Pang Tong's "Sun Tzu's Notes", and then after several practical training, coupled with the discussion with Pang Tong himself over the years, Yu Zhijun's way of establishing a camp has a lot of experience.

But looking at the layout of the camp in front of him, Liu Fengfang felt that Lu Su's heart was not small. Sun Quan dared to replace Zhou Yu, not just because of selfishness, but because Lu Su did have two brushes.

Entering the generous Chinese army tent, although Lu Su was the master of Lukou, with Sun Shangxiang, he naturally did not dare to take himself as the master. He was busy inviting Liu Feng and Miss Sun to take the seat.

Liu Feng was waiting to refuse, but Sun Shangxiang didn't say anything and took Liu Feng to sit in the main position.

The red clothes are like fire, and the white robes are dazzling. As soon as the two young couples sat there, they immediately let the generals of the Eastern Wu below secretly admire them, thinking that these two people really have the posture of dragons and phoenixes.

"You don't have to stand stupidly. Sit down." Sun Shangxiang glanced at the people in the account indifferently and ordered coldly.

With the approval of the young lady, Lu Su and other generals dared to sit on the side.

"Lu Zijing, my husband and I plan to go back to the mausoleum to visit my mother this time. We will only stay in Lukou and leave tomorrow morning. You quickly branch the counties along the way and ask them to prepare for the welcome in advance.

The two of them suddenly came here, and Lu Su guessed that this was the reason. Since Sun Shangxiang married in Changsha, nearly two years have passed since she married in Changsha. Now it is reasonable to go back to her mother's family.

It's just that it's enough to go home to save relatives. She still has to stir up the crowd and toss the states and counties along the way. It seems that although the arrogant young lady is married as a woman, her surname has not changed at all.

Lu Su muttered in his heart, but he repeatedly made promises and did not forget to praise them for their filial piety.

"Zi Jing, I recently heard that Cao's army reached the Yangtze River. I don't know how the current battle in the southeast is?" Liu Feng asked knowingly how the war in the southeast was, but he paid close attention to it at all times.

Cao Qian led a step horse and claimed to be 400,000 expeditions to Sun Quan in the east. The army marched from Hefei to Ruxukou, broke through the eastern Wujiang North Camp, and the army went straight to the Yangtze River. He even smuggled in an oil tanker, boarded the small continent of the river, and established a heartbeat base.

Opposite Jiang Xinzhou is the core mausoleum of the Eastern Wu. At this time, the threat faced by the Eastern Wu was no less than that of the Red Cliff. This time, Cao Qian directly hit the door of his hometown.

Under such disadvantages, Sun Quan only called for help from Liu Bei, while leading 70,000 Wu troops to resist. The two sides launched a fierce battle for Jiang Xinzhou. At this time, the Eastern Wu navy has besieged Jiang Xinzhou for several months, but Cao's army is still resisting tenaciously.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Sun Quan loses this battle, Sun's Jiangdong regime will be finished.

"Although there are many soldiers and horses of Cao's army, it is a pity that there is no navy. Although we have secretly occupied Jiangxinzhou now, I don't expect that it will be taken back by our Eastern Wu for more than a month. The war in the southeast seems to be tight, but in fact it is not a big problem."

In front of Liu's cover, Lu Su showed calm and confident, as if he did not pay attention to Cao Qian's army.

Liu Feng didn't care who had the upper hand in the Southeast War. His question of pretending to be caring was actually to lead to the next topic.

When Lu Su's voice fell, Sun Shangxiang said, "Husband, he followed me back to the province of Muling this time, and also brought more than a thousand soldiers and horses to my brother. It can be regarded as a contribution to my Eastern Wu's resistance to Cao and the best of Sun's son-in-law."

"The general is really intentional." Lu Su seemed a little surprised.

Liu Feng said with shame, "I have a small number of soldiers in the second county of Xiangdong, and I can't help much. I can only send a thousand soldiers and horses in this area. However, I have arranged for someone to prepare dozens of boats of food and fodder, which will be shipped to the southeast soon, which is also a little effort.

In Lu Su's view, Liu Feng sent troops and food. This move was mostly just to please the Marquis of Wu. There was nothing suspicious when he thought about it carefully. He immediately said, "It's rare for the general to have this idea. Su thanked the general first on behalf of Wu Hou."

Liu Feng waved his hand and smiled, "It's all our own family. You're welcome."

Lu Su also smiled and said happily, "The general said yes, they are all his own family. This time, Wu Hou and the old lady will be very happy to see the general and the young lady.

The atmosphere of the conversation gradually harmoniously.

That night, Lu Su held a banquet in the camp, with wine and delicious food, and warmly entertained Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang.

After a one-day and one-night stay in Lukou, Liu Feng and his wife set off. After the farewell of Lu Su and other generals, they set off to the east again.

In order to fulfill his duty, Lu Su also sent a special team of water troops to escort him all the way. It was not until he escorted Liu Feng's fleet to the vicinity of the waters of Xiakou that he was evacuated back to the land port.

At dusk, Liu Feng stood in the bow of the ship and looked at the towering outline of Xiakou City from afar. Suddenly, all kinds of emotions surged in his heart.

A few years ago, he left this familiar city with his ambition. See you now. Although the owner has changed, the majestic spirit still exists.

'One day, this city will fly the banner of Liu Feng.'

When Liu Feng secretly made up his mind, Sun Shangxiang beside him said, "Lu Su's navy has been withdrawn. In front of him is Xiakou, husband. It's time to part."
