    Chibi, the camp of the allied forces of the Han Empire, and the dragon tent of the Chinese army.

    "Your Highness, King Wu, you want me to plead guilty to that Qin Yang and ask him to come back?! Are you kidding me?" Liu Bei stood up in a light yellow robe, and his beard under his chin was trembling slightly with anger.  Liu Bei never expected that when Sun Quan went to chase Qin Yang, this would be the result after he came back.

    At this moment, there are only four people in the dragon tent.  The Emperor of the Han Empire, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, sat on the dragon throne without saying a word.  The King of Wei, Cao Cao, sat on the left side with a half-smile, looking at Liu Bei quietly.  As for Sun Quan, the youngest person here, he stood with his hands behind his back in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, facing Liu Bei's eyes.

    "Uncle, please be patient. I just want to ask him to go to Jiangxia in person and reconcile with Ming Zhai. Now that the demon army is approaching and a war is imminent, does the emperor hope to see that at this time, there are still people in the Central Plains?  Are there differences or disagreements?" Sun Quan saw Liu Bei so angry, but he calmed down and said calmly.

    "What's the difference between this and me trying to plead guilty to him?!" Liu Bei said loudly: "Whether I go to Jiangxia to make peace with him or plead guilty, in the eyes of the world, it is me, Liu Bei, and I, the Han Empire, want to apologize to his Ming Dynasty  The empire has bowed its head! What is the Ming Dynasty? It just took advantage of the weakness of the Han Empire to proclaim itself emperor! Even if His Majesty the Emperor is mighty and acknowledges his existence, he can only be a vassal of my Han Empire!  "

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of nowhere.  Although Cao Cao and Sun Quan were both important ministers of the Han Empire.  But after all, he had less contact with Liu Bei.  Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty knew this imperial uncle too well.  Liu Bei can be called a good old man and looks amiable to everyone.  There were smiles as warm as the sun on their faces.

    But as long as the issue involves the Han Empire, Liu Bei must be as if he has changed. As long as it is detrimental to the Han Empire, whether it is people or things, Liu Bei will hate it deeply and even be a little paranoid.  In Liu Bei's heart, the big man is him, and he is the big man.  Today's Liu Bei is for the big man.  He can do anything, even against his own principles.  According to Zhuge Liang, "The emperor's obsession with the Han Dynasty is too deep, and it has even reached the point where it can affect the correct decision-making on military and national affairs."

    Therefore, whenever Liu Bei had this sign, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would habitually "empty".  Regarding all Liu Bei's suggestions, he just responded with these words: "Oh, oh, um, um, ready to play." In fact, his mind had already wandered to no one knows where.  This is also the reason why the emperor has always been ignored.  The result of losing power.

    For Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who is now almost twenty years old, he has only one role in his life, and that is the puppet.  In Luoyang.  First he was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and then Li Jue and Guo Si.  Next came Lu Bu, and later to Cao Cao.  It was even more impossible for Cao Cao to let him take power.  Finally, we waited for Uncle Liu who was "loyal to the emperor and patriotic", but all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou only knew that there was Uncle Liu in Jingzhou, and he, the emperor, was just like a Buddha statue in the temple, just regarded as nothingness.  It only exists to worship.  When the emperor did this, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty felt helpless.

    Sun Quan looked at Liu Bei quietly. After Liu Bei finished speaking, his expression gradually darkened and he said: "Uncle Huang's words are wrong. To take a step back, even if Uncle Huang apologizes to Qin Yang,  He is just representing the emperor's uncle. Now that your majesty is still here, the Han Empire respects you. As long as your majesty remains motionless and waits at Chibi, waiting for the Yellow Turban Army to join forces, how can the majesty of our Han Empire be damaged?  Woolen cloth?"

    Cao Cao on the side also snorted softly at this moment, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness King Wu is right. Could it be that the emperor's uncle has regarded himself as the majesty of the Han Empire, and the emperor's uncle can represent the Han Empire?!"

    For a long time, among the three major princes of the Han Empire, Liu Bei had the greatest say as the emperor.  Both Sun Quan and Cao Cao couldn't stand this, especially when Liu Bei used the Emperor of Han as a scapegoat no matter what happened, which made them resentful all the time.  Seeing how stubborn Liu Bei was at this moment, the two of them were on the same side without realizing it.

    "I" Liu Bei was choked by Cao Cao's words for a moment, then he flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "Don't misunderstand me, Liu Bei, as a minister, how can I dare to overstep like this?! It's just that Qin Yang is now a soldier.  There are only a few hundred thousand remaining soldiers, and no more than a hundred generals have been defeated. And the demon army is now at the end of its war effort. Only two troops, Xiang Yu and Han Xin, are left, with a total of only more than 1.6 million. Our army is evenly matched with it, do we have to do it?  Can Qin Yang win?"

    The more Liu Bei spoke, the more he felt that he was justified. He couldn't help but ask: "Do your two highnesses have so little confidence in the army of our Han Empire?! You two are me.We are the mainstay of the Han Empire!  "

    "Report! Your Majesty, the emperor's uncle, and your two highnesses, Commander Zhou Yu of Chibi Water Village has sent back the enemy's report. Please have your majesty review it with the emperor's uncle and your two highnesses."

    Just when Liu Bei was boasting and about to counterattack Cao Cao and Sun Quan with words, suddenly the voice of the Imperial Guards' report came from outside the dragon tent.

    "Send it up." Sun Quan glanced at Liu Bei and said calmly.

    Not long after, the detective report jointly written by Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi was submitted to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.  In the hands of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, this battle report was just a formality.  Soon, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao took a look.

    "There are so many demonic troops?!" After reading the battle report, Liu Bei was the first to speak.  Now Liu Bei no longer boasts. After seeing the battle report, his face has already become a little ugly.

    In the battle report sent back from the front, it was clearly written that the demon army had noticed the strategic intention of the Central Plains army to fight a decisive battle.  Just this morning, the Demon Army has arrived at the Wulin Land in Jingzhou from both land and water lines one after another, confronting the Han Emperor's army across the river.

    In the battle report, after preliminary investigation, a total of three groups of soldiers and horses of the demon army gathered this time.  On the first route, it was Xiang Yu's third legion that moved south in one fell swoop, commanding nearly a million elite demonic troops.  The second way is that the demon army has been cruising on the Yangtze River.  Han Xin's Second Marine Corps, whose base camp was set up in Hongze Lake, totaled 400,000.  There are nearly 10,000 warships, and Zhang Han's 200,000 demon army belonging to the Second Army has also arrived in Wulin to join Xiang Yu's army.  The third group came from Jizhou City, the demonic capital. They were suspected to be led by the Demon Lord himself, and numbered one million Zuoyou. Although the elite demon army was far inferior to Xiang Yu's third  Legion, but conservative estimates include 200,000 elite soldiers.

    This way.  The demonic army has gathered 2.6 million troops in Wulin, including 400,000 naval troops. They have set up a water village in the north of the river and sent patrol boats to cruise on the river.  In less than half a day, dozens of small-scale water battles took place with the Jingzhou and Soochow naval forces of the Han Empire, each with its own victory or defeat.

    And on the river bank, 2.2 million demon army troops have marched down the river and camped for hundreds of miles.  With great momentum, the army was prepared for war.  The whole world.  Seventy-eight percent of the troops were already concentrated on both sides of the Yangtze River.  The war is imminent, and the ownership of the world is about to be determined.

    Sun Quan couldn't help but smile coldly when he saw Liu Bei's change of expression.  He said calmly: "Uncle Mingjian, just now the emperor still said that the strength of our army and the demon army are almost the same. They are capable of fighting. But now, I don't know what the emperor said?"

    "The gap is so huge. Can Qin Yang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers be able to turn the tide?!" Liu Bei said stubbornly.

    Seeing that Liu Bei was being squeezed out by Sun Quan, Cao Cao couldn't help but act as peacemaker.  He smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be anxious, His Highness King Wu has no other intentions. Now, the number of demon army's soldiers is almost double that of our army. With such a huge contrast, we should concentrate all the forces we can. Only  In this way, we can stand on equal footing with the demonic army."

    While speaking, Cao Cao kept trying to show off to Sun Quan. Sun Quan naturally understood what Cao Cao meant, so he just looked at Liu Bei and sneered slightly, and stopped talking.

    "This" Liu Bei also fell into silence. He didn't know what Cao Cao and Sun Quan meant. However, if he nodded now, wouldn't it mean that he admitted that he was frightened by the momentum of the demon army?  If word spreads, I'm afraid Uncle Liu Huang's reputation as a coward will become famous all over the world.

    "Your Majesty! Lord! Something bad has happened!" Just when Liu Bei was fighting between heaven and man, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from outside the dragon tent. The footsteps paused in front of the tent door, and then the tent door opened.  A scribe wearing a green shirt strode in.

    "Military Xu Shu?! What happened?" When Liu Bei saw the person coming, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly.  The person who came was Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, another counselor under Liu Bei. Now that Zhuge Liang was on the front line, Xu Shu accompanied Liu Bei.  Liu Bei was undecided, so he was naturally very happy to see Xu Shu coming.

    However, Xu Shu did not see Liu Bei's joy. He only saw his head wrinkled slightly, and a trace of hesitation and worry flashed on his rather delicate face.

    "Xu Shu has come to meet His Majesty the Emperor! I have met my lord and my two highnesses." Xu Shu, who hurriedly walked into the dragon tent and bowed in a circle, said directly: "Reporting to my lord, a large number of troops were found a hundred miles south of Chibi.  Judging from the numbers, the number should be more than 100,000. None of these troops are from the Central Plains, and they did not listen to our scouts and orders from checkpoints along the way, and marched straight in, heading straight for Red Cliff"

    "Not from the Central Plains? Are they from the Southern Wilderness barbarians?" Before Xu Shu could finish speaking, Sun Quan had already interrupted.  Just when Han Xin's Second Army landed in the Central Plains, Soochow was reminded by Qin Yang and was able toHan Xin's offensive was effectively contained, and at that time, the barbarian army in the Southern Wilderness suddenly descended from the sky to help the Wu army turn the tide of the war.  Therefore, Sun Quan was deeply impressed by the barbarian army.

    Sun Quan couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of the barbarian army, and continued: "The barbarian army in the Southern Wilderness is a subordinate of Emperor Ming Qin Yang. Naturally, they will not obey the orders of our officials of the Han Empire. They must have come to Jiangxia to fight with Emperor Ming."  The commander"

    "As he spoke, Sun Quan glanced at Liu Bei and thought to himself, didn't you say that the Yellow Turban Army only had a few hundred thousand defeated soldiers?  One hundred thousand new troops arrived at once, let me see what you say.

    Xu Shu bowed deeply to Sun Quan and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu Mingjian, I also think so. If it is just this army, I will naturally not panic. However, now there is more than one army gathering here."

    "More than one army?" Sun Quan and the other three looked at each other, and their eyes immediately focused on Xu Shu.

    Xu Shu said: "Our army's scouts reported that another army has left Shu and passed Baidi City. After passing the public security, they arrived at Baling in Wudi. This army is under the banner of the Ming Empire. The total number of horses and infantry is fifty.  Yu Wan is also heading to Red Cliff."

    "Coming out of Shu? That's right. The Ming Empire commanded Hanzhong, Yizhou, and Nanhuang. These soldiers should be soldiers from Shu, coming for reinforcements. However, after the battle, Qin Yang still had fifty  Ten thousand troops, this strength is really powerful" Cao Cao analyzed.

    Xu Shu said: "What King Wei said is absolutely true. These should be all the elites from Hanzhong and Bashu, plus the troops from Xiliang under King Wei's command, they have all arrived now."

    "Five hundred thousand, one hundred thousand" Liu Bei couldn't help but look even more ugly when he heard that Qin Yang had gathered 600,000 reinforcements in a short period of time.  Now it seems that he has indeed underestimated Qin Yang's strength.

    And when Cao Cao heard that there were actually his own Xiliang cavalry among the reinforcements, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.  At first.  In order to quickly evacuate Chang'an, he simply used the Xiliang cavalry as bait for Bai Qi.  But he didn't expect that Qin Yang would now recruit the Xiliang army and come to help him.  This was undoubtedly Qin Yang's inadvertent slap on his face.

    Sun Quan said nothing when he saw the other two.  Knowing what the two of them were thinking, he couldn't help but smile and said: "The Ming Empire is our ally. The arrival of reinforcements at this moment is a good thing."

    Xu Shu shook his head slightly and said: "Report to His Highness King Wu. Although these two groups of soldiers and horses are reinforcements, they are not the only ones rushing to Chibi at the moment."

    "There's more?!" This time, Sun Quan couldn't help but be surprised.

    Xu Shu nodded and said: "According to the report from the flying pigeons sent by the scouts along the Yangtze River, nearly ten thousand warships of various types suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River. These warships are all well-made and have huge hulls, even in the sea.  The progress will not be hindered at all. According to reports, the sophistication of these warships is even better than the ships used by the demon army to cross the sea."

    "Warship?!" After hearing the news, both Liu Bei and Cao Cao had forgotten their embarrassment, and Sun Quan opened his mouth in surprise.  You know, in the Central Plains, only Jingzhou and Soochow have regular naval forces.  Only these two places have large rivers and lakes to train navy.  Now more than 10,000 warships have been shot out of thin air, and they are also sea ships. Most of them should be the demon army.

    Now in the confrontation with the demon army, the only thing that the Central Plains human race can rely on is the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Only in terms of naval forces, the combined power of Soochow and Jingzhou can suppress the demon army.  If at this time, the demon army suddenly increases by tens of thousands of warships, then the armies of the Central Plains will be suppressed by the demon army, whether on land or on the water.

    "Is it the Demon Army?" After a while, Sun Quan murmured as if to himself.

    Xu Shu shook his head honestly and said: "There are no flags on the warship, so we can't tell which army it is. If it is the demon army, it should directly display the flag"

    "There is no bannercould this also be" Sun Quan said halfway and suddenly fell silent. He just had an idea that suddenly popped up based on his habitual thinking just now.  But this idea was quickly rejected by him. No matter how powerful Qin Yang was, it was impossible to build a fleet of nearly ten thousand warships in a few years, and all of them were naval forces.  This is too incredible.

    Xu Shu nodded and said: "It is very possible that in the whole world, apart from the Lord and the two His Highnesses, there is probably only one person with such strength, His Majesty Emperor Ming."

    "What?! This could be someone from Qin Yang?!" Liu Bei felt as if a big apple had been stuffed into his mouth. His mouth was open, his eyes were wide open, and his mind was blank.

    The expressions of the other two people were similar. After listening to Xu Shu's analysis, they both had very exciting expressions.  Qin Yang¡¯s current strength is far beyondFar beyond their imagination.  If these naval forces also belong to Qin Yang, then Qin Yang's current strength can fully compete with the three major princes.

    Xu Shu coughed slightly and continued: "Return to the Lord, your two highnesses. Not only that, there is also a troop of soldiers and horses, which are also rushing towards Chibi"

    "More?!" This time, even Sun Quan was not calm anymore. He seemed to be looking at Xu Shu angrily.  I cursed in my heart, is this guy deliberately trying to seduce us?  !  Is there anything that can¡¯t be said in one go?  Just this military intelligence report, can it be told in pieces?  !

    Xu Shu didn't notice Sun Quan's resentment at all, and said honestly: "Yes, this army is a bit special. They come from the land of Wu, and they are all rebels formed voluntarily by the people. The number is about 300,000 zuoyou  "

    "Oh? The people who came from the land of Wu?!" Sun Quan felt slightly proud. The people who came from the land of Wu were naturally his own army.  And there are more than 300,000 people. Well, these people are indeed very proud of themselves, the King of Wu!  Did you see that?  Even if Qin Yang has reinforcements from all walks of life, Soochow is not bad, and it is also done voluntarily by the people

    Eh?  That¡¯s not right!  Sun Quan, who was straightening his back and self-satisfied, suddenly felt something in his heart and muttered secretly: "These people usually stay away from each other whether they are heavily paid for conscription or compulsory military service. How come more than 300,000 people came out all of a sudden?  ! Could it be that these common people who have been evading military service suddenly have a conscience? Or do they want to give me a surprise?!"

    The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more something was wrong. He quickly swallowed back his impassioned speech and carefully asked Xu Shu: "Mr. Xu, what is the banner of these people?"

    Xu Shu had no expression on his face and said calmly: "According to reports, the leader of these people is Princess Sun Shangxiang, Princess of Dongwu, the sister of His Highness King Wu. And the flag they fly is the Yellow Turban Banner of the Ming Empire  "

    "My sister?! Yellow scarf flag?! I wipe" Sun Quan was dumbfounded when he heard this. His expression was even more exciting than Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Not only did the people of Soochow stand under the yellow scarf flag, but even his own relatives  My sister also His Highness King Wu suddenly felt a little dizzy.

    "Uncle Emperor" Just when the three major princes were all silent after hearing Xu Shu's words, suddenly, His Majesty Xiandi, who had been "emptying" on the dragon throne, didn't know what to say.  Nervous, he spoke.

    "Your Majesty?!" Liu Bei looked at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who was no longer "empty" in surprise, his voice full of surprise.

    "Uncle Emperor, it's better to go to Jiangxia" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty seemed to muster up great courage and said: "If you don't go to Jiangxia to apologize, I'm afraid I will have to go there myself after all the reinforcements arrive  ¡­¡±(To be continued¡­)
