Chapter 228: Use Sun Quan's head as a gift to Lu Bu! Even if the sage of strategy is reborn, I can't match him! The world's number one general is panicking!

Sun Quan was desperate.

Kneeling down to beg for mercy, giving up dignity, and begging in the most humble way...

Sun Quan thought that he had given up so much and was so humble that even if you, Liu Bei, were replaced by Cao Cao, you should spare my life.

But he never expected that Liu Bei would actually want to kill him.

Sun Quan's spiritual will was shattered in an instant.

The Bai Li soldiers on both sides stepped forward, lifted up Sun Quan, and tried to drag him out of the tent.

Sun Quan suddenly woke up and cursed:
"Liu Bei, I have surrendered, why do you want to kill me?"

"Don't you call yourself a righteous master? Where is your righteousness?"

"I have made a wish, why do you still want to kill me~~"

Liu Bei remained indifferent and even waved his hand in disgust.

"Liu Bei, the big-eared thief!"

"You are a weaver of mats and a shoe seller. Do you think you can conquer the world?"

"If you kill me today, you will die in the hands of Yuan and Cao sooner or later. I, Sun Quan, will be waiting for you on the road to the underworld!"

"I'm waiting for you—"

Sun Quan’s pleas were in vain, and his face was completely torn. He screamed hoarsely in grief and anger, and struggled and thrashed desperately.

It was of no avail, but he was still dragged out of the tent roughly by the Bai Li soldiers.

The roaring and wailing stopped abruptly.

In a moment, a bloody human head was presented in the big tent.

"My lord, since Sun Quan is Lü Bu's son, you should send his head to Lü Bu in Chengde City. This will be considered as returning the head to its original owner."

"We can also use Sun Quan's head to crush the enemy's morale in the city!"

Xiao Fang pointed his feather fan in the direction of Chengde City and offered another plan.

After a little thought, Liu Bei readily accepted the suggestion.

So Xu Chu carried Sun Quan's head out of the camp and headed straight for the south gate of Chengde alone.

At this moment, on the south gate tower of Chengde City.

Lu Bu was standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at Liu Jun's camp in the south.

The endless camp and the fluttering flags with the word "Liu" on them made him look more and more disgusted.

"boom!"

Lu Bu slammed his fist on the battlement and snorted coldly:
"If I had known that this big-eared thief would be so rampant today, I would have killed him at all costs when I took over Xuzhou!"

"If we had gotten rid of him then, why would we be forced to face him today?"

There was deep regret in Lu Bu's angry tone.

He was obviously not used to it. The Liu Bei who had fled Xuzhou in a desperate situation back then had transformed himself into the overlord of the south today!
Now he is leading an army of 60,000 to the north with such force that he dares not engage in a head-on confrontation and can only hide in the city and refuse to come out.

"I have to say that Liu Bei is an indomitable man, and he does have some heroic spirit."

"The most important thing is that this person has extraordinary luck. It seems that he has been blessed by his Liu ancestors. He was able to get help from a rare person like Xiao Fang when he was at the end of his rope."

"If it weren't for Xiao Fang's extraordinary wisdom, even if Liu Bei was a hero, how could he have become what he is today?"

Beside him, Chen Gong stroked his thin beard and sighed with emotion.

"Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang..."

"How come this guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, just like he jumped out of a crack in a rock? It's really incredible."

"Why would such a strange man take a fancy to the desperate big-eared thief?"

"I am the best general in the world, and I have just won Xuzhou. Why doesn't he come to me?"

Lu Bu gnashed his teeth, his face full of envy and jealousy, and punched the battlement.

"Crack!"

Half of the battlement was blown down, and the soldiers on both sides were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.

"Marquis Wen, there is no need to be angry. This Xiao Fang is indeed a genius and a rare talent."

Chen Gong nodded in approval at first, then changed the subject:
"However, Zhang Ji is just a common man from Xiliang, Liu Biao is just a self-reliant thief, and Sun Ce is even more stubborn and self-willed. In the final analysis, these three are not heroes."

"It is not surprising that Xiao Fang assisted Liu Bei in defeating these three people, even though he used many strange schemes and tricks."

"I'm afraid his so-called brilliant strategy will not be able to predict everything and do whatever he wants when he faces Wen Hou, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other real heroes."

After hearing Chen Gong's comments, the annoyance in Lu Bu's eyes suddenly diminished a lot.

When he heard that Chen Gong actually listed him as a heroic lord alongside Yuan and Cao, Lu Bu felt comfortable and a hint of complacency appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"What Gongtai said is fair."

"This Marquis is personally leading a large army to guard Chengde, and there are beacon towers in Lu'an to monitor the big-eared thief and prevent him from launching a surprise attack."

"My east and west routes have been flawless and impeccable. I wonder how Xiao Fang can carry out his schemes and intrigues!"

Lu Bu's eyes shot towards Liu Jun's camp, and after a burst of sarcasm, he turned around and was about to leave the city.

"Marquis Wen, enemy cavalry is approaching!"

Hou Cheng beside him suddenly pointed outside the city and shouted.

Lu Bu, who had just turned around, became alert and looked back towards the outside of the city.

I saw a man and a horse galloping out of Liu's camp, riding alone towards the south gate.

"Only?"

Lu Bu frowned, a look of suspicion flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong couldn't guess what Liu Bei was up to, so he could only shake his head.

Hou Cheng called on the archers and crossbowmen, preparing to shoot and kill the approaching cavalry.

"He is just one man and one horse. Shooting arrows would show that I am afraid of him. Let's see what his intentions are first."

However, Lu Bu waved his hand and stopped the archers.

So all the soldiers of Lu's army in the city opened their eyes wide, staring at the man and his horse galloping towards them with confusion and suspicion.

A moment.

Xu Chu reined in his horse twenty steps in front of the city, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"Listen, Lu Bu, this is a great gift from my left general to you, please accept it!" After saying this, veins on Xu Chu's arms bulged, and he threw the head in his hand out fiercely.

The head flew over a distance of twenty steps and landed accurately on the city wall.

Lu Bu and the others were shocked and stepped back subconsciously, watching the bloody thing fly onto the city wall and roll down in front of them.

"Human...human head?"

Lu Bu's eyes widened and he looked up at Xu Chu who was speeding away outside the city, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

Why would Liu Bei give himself a gift out of the blue?
Moreover, this gift is actually a human head?
That big-eared thief, what the hell is he doing?

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, and countless questions and thoughts surged in his mind.

An ominous thought arose in Chen Gong's mind. While Lu Bu was still dazed, he walked forward and turned the bloody head over with his toes.

"Sun Quan!"

Chen Gong recognized the face, exclaimed in surprise, and took a half step back.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that face, and they all recognized it as Sun Quan's face, and there was an immediate uproar.

Lu Bu looked down anxiously, and when he recognized the face, his body suddenly froze into ice.

Sun Quan, his adopted son, is actually dead!

The head was also sent by Liu Bei to the top of Chengde City as a gift to him?
"This, this, what on earth is going on?"

Lu Bu's voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with horror and confusion as he turned to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the shock and astonishment in his heart, his eyes darting around.

Suddenly his expression changed again and he took a breath.

"Not good, Liu Bei must have conquered Lu'an, and Sun Quan would have been killed by Liu Bei!"

"Marquis Wen, Lu'an has been lost!"

Chen Gong's face turned pale as paper, and he guessed the truth in a trembling voice.

Lu Bu's face turned pale with horror, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Then his face became distorted and he shouted hoarsely:
"Impossible, Lu'an will never fall!"

"Sun Quan has built a beacon tower south of Lu'an. Even if the big-eared thief attacks, he must have known about it in advance and sent people to ask for help from me."

"How come his head has already fallen into the hands of the big-eared thief before I even received his request for help?"

"That doesn't make sense! That doesn't make sense!"

Lu Bu shook his head like a rattle and rejected Chen Gong's speculation.

Chen Gong was speechless after being retorted, and his eyes became confused.

"Yes, then Lu Ziming's beacon tower strategy is impeccable. At least it can ensure that Liu Bei's sneak attack can be detected a hundred miles in advance."

"But how could Liu Bei get Sun Quan's head first?"

"This is indeed too weird and somewhat unreasonable..."

Chen Gong muttered to himself, and his eyes, which had originally been enlightened, became confused again.

Just as Lu Bu and his ministers were at a loss and bewilderment, a messenger on horseback came from the north of the city and climbed up the city wall in a hurry.

"Your Highness, this is an urgent report from General Zhang Wenyuan of Yangquan City!"

"Guan Yu led his army to attack Lu'an successfully, and our defending army was completely annihilated. Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and others were all killed by Guan Yu."

"Master Zhongmou was captured alive by Guan Yu!"

"Guan Yu's army is heading north to attack Yangquan City. General Wenyuan asks Marquis Wen to send reinforcements to Yangquan City as soon as possible!"

a bolt from the blue!

It hit Lu Bu on the head.

Lu Bu staggered and took a half step back, his face frozen in astonishment.

Be it Chen Gong or Hou Cheng, all the soldiers of Lu's army on the city wall opened their mouths wide, frozen like stone statues.

"why?"

"Gongtai, why is this happening?"

"Lu'an was actually attacked by surprise. Didn't they have a beacon tower? How did the big-eared thief do it?"

Lu Bu muttered to himself, with a confused and pale face, and turned to Chen Gong with difficulty, trying to seek an answer.

Chen Gong was shocked and the first to wake up. He took a few steps forward, snatched Zhang Liao's urgent report and read it carefully.

Guan Yu led the Xiangyang garrison eastward, crossed the river in white clothes and destroyed the beacon tower, and Jiang Qin rebelled before the battle and seized the gate...

Zhang Liao wrote down everything he knew about the fall of Lu'an in this emergency document.

"This must be Xiao Fang's trick."

"This man's wisdom and ideas are truly rare in ancient and modern times. His reputation as a sage of strategy is well-deserved."

"I am not good enough, I am far from being good enough, alas~~"

Chen Gong let out a helpless sigh and handed the silk book to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu snatched it away, and couldn't wait to take a closer look, his eyes gradually growing bigger.

"So Jiang Qin is actually the spy planted by the big-eared thief?"

"He actually used Guan Yu to launch a sneak attack?"

"White Clothes Crossing the River... He actually used this method to destroy the beacon tower?"

"Xiao Fang...is this really another trick used by that country bumpkin?"

Like Chen Gong, Lu Bu muttered to himself, fell into a trance, and was helpless and stunned.

The pair of hands that had killed all the heroes in the world were shaking uncontrollably, and the urgent report in their hands fell out of their hands.

After being in a trance for a long time, Lu Bu shuddered violently and suddenly woke up.

"Gongtai, what should we do? What should we do?"

"Lu'an has been lost, Yangquan is in danger, we can't stop the big-eared thief anymore."

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Lu Bu grabbed Chen Gong's shoulders and shouted in a trembling voice like a madman.

For the first time in his life, the world's number one military commander showed deep fear in front of his subordinates.
