Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 548: Death of Taishi Ci

When Zhou Yu arranged for all the soldiers to withdraw to Lukou Port urgently, Wu Jing and Sun Quan were a little confused.

They then took over Zhou Yu's hand and began to clean up the battlefield.

Working in full swing.

Why are you withdrawing suddenly?
Wu Jing took Sun Quan to find Zhou Yu urgently.

But Zhou Yu was standing there, wiping his tears.

Wu Jing and Sun Quan looked at each other and were both extremely shocked.

Although Zhou Yu was a descendant of a top aristocratic family with three generations of high officials, he was not as fragile as the average descendants of aristocratic families.

On the contrary, he is very strong and has a manly temperament.

But what is this now?
Wu Jing and Sun Quan did not dare to get close and could only watch from afar.

It didn't take long for them to get the answer.

I saw a group of generals running towards me.

They were veteran generals such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai each held an unconscious figure.

Some generals followed behind them, running and crying loudly.

Wu Jing and Sun Quan saw at a glance the clothes of the two unconscious figures.

Without a doubt, it was Sun Ce and Taishi Ci.

The two men's faces turned pale.

Zhou Yu also came to his senses at this time and ran forward.

Zhou Yu wiped his tears while following Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. His eyes were red and he suppressed his anger and said, "What is going on? How come Bo Fu and Zi Yi are both so seriously injured?"

Cheng Pu ran towards the port, tears streaming down his face, and choked up as he said, "We were ambushed!"

"The Lujiang Army is lying in ambush not far from the canyon exit."

"I heard from the soldiers that the lord was ambushed and shot in the face with an arrow."

"Ziyi was stabbed and hacked several times by Zhang Sui and a big man."

"Ziyi was seriously injured while trying to protect the lord."

"I checked and found a bloody hole on his back. He probably won't survive."

Zhou Yu just felt his head buzzing.

That man is here?

He actually came!
Huang Zu, how did you invite him here?

Zhou Yu didn't bother to ask any more questions and rushed to the front to make way for the generals.

On the shore, a young general had already prepared the boat.

Generals such as Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu jumped onto the boats.

Wu Jing and Sun Quan hurriedly chased after him.

Sun Quan stammered, "Gongjin, now that you're all gone, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu was already extremely nervous.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Sun Quan still asked him how to do it!
Zhou Yu roared, "Are you just here to eat?"

"Follow my order, the entire army retreat!"

"As the second son, you are so confused and ignorant that you can't do anything. What's the use of you?"

Sun Quan's face flushed and he was a little at a loss.

Zhou Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him and hurried to check Taishi Ci's injuries.

Seeing Taishi Ci still bleeding all over, with fragments of internal organs visible from a wound on his back, Zhou Yu's body was shaking violently.

Generals such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also remained silent.

Zhou Yu went to check Sun Ce's injuries again.

Looking at the arrow stuck in the left side of Sun Ce's cheek, Zhou Yu felt his eyes go dark and almost fell down.

Huang Gai hurriedly supported him.

Zhou Yu held the hand that Huang Gai extended to him and then stood up straight.

He slowly turned his head and looked towards Xiakou Port.

There, many Jiangdong soldiers jumped onto the back of the warships, and countless black shadows came like a tide.

These soldiers were all dressed like the navy of Ruxu Port.

The navy of Lujiang County!

There is not a single Jiangxia soldier to be seen!
Zhou Yu slowly sat down on the deck, covering his face with his hands, tears pouring out like a tide, rolling down from between his fingers. After a while, he removed his hands from his face, kept hitting his head with his fists, and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Why didn't I think of it!"

"Why didn't I think that they wouldn't just sit there and wait for death?"

"I should have thought of that!"

"I should have thought of that!"

The ship finally reached the shore of Lukou Port.

There, another young general was waiting with a group of medical workers.

As soon as the ship docked, a group of medical workers rushed to greet it.

Right on the shore, doctors were busy examining Sun Ce and Taishi Ci.

The leading doctor looked at Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and the others and said, "The lord is on the verge of death, but he still has a breath."

"I have no way to treat it."

"The wound is on the face. Our medical skills are not that sophisticated."

"There is a traveling doctor in the city named Hua Tuo, a native of Pei. He has been providing free medical treatment to the people in the city these past two days. Who of you can go and invite him over? We will protect the lord for the time being."

Zhou Yu hurriedly said to the young general beside him: "Jiang Qin, go over immediately!"

Jiang Qin turned around, grabbed a warhorse, and galloped away.

The chief doctor said to Zhou Yu, "It is too late to save the patient."

"His pulse has stopped."

"Generals, please accept my condolences!"

After saying this, he ignored the generals and inserted several silver needles into Sun Ce's body. Then he hurriedly called on other medical workers to carry Sun Ce away.

The generals wanted to leave with Sun Ce.

But when their eyes fell on Taishi Ci in Huang Gai's arms, they stopped again.

Zhou Yu did not follow either.

Seeing Taishi Ci's pale face, Zhou Yu tremblingly stretched out his right index finger and placed it on Taishi Ci's nose.

Didn't feel any breath.

Although he had already learned the answer from the medical engineer, Zhou Yu's fingers still trembled a few times and he staggered a few steps.

All the generals looked at Zhou Yu's behavior, turned their heads away and shed tears.

At this time, in another place, Xiakou Port, the commander-in-chief Zhao Yun had led his army all the way from Xiling City.

The Jiangdong army jumped onto the warships and fled.

However, some people did not have time to escape and were caught up by the Lujiang Army.

Many people rose up in resistance.

However, facing the powerful Lujiang Army, these people were chopped to the ground one after another.

Xiakou Port was in chaos.

Near the port, corpses were floating everywhere and blood dyed the river red.

When the Lujiang army was fighting fiercely, the Jiangxia army, which had been fleeing all the way, also fought back under the leadership of Huang Zu.

The combined number of troops on both sides numbered tens of thousands.

How could the Jiangdong army resist?

The battle of Xiakou ended at dusk.

Except for more than a thousand soldiers of the Jiangdong army who surrendered, the other more than three thousand soldiers were all killed in the battle.

Huang Zu, Zhao Yun and Li Ru stood in an open space, watching Zhang Liao report the battle results, and Huang Zu couldn't stop smiling.

Especially when he heard the news that Sun Ce was shot in the face and Taishi Ci was seriously injured and unconscious.

Huang Zu was so happy that his yellow front teeth couldn't be hidden.

Zhao Yun was also quite emotional.

He had never imagined that he would be able to inflict heavy damage on Sun Ce and Taishi Ci this time.

The situation he originally discussed with Li Ru and Zhang Sui was: drive the Jiangdong Army out of Xiakou, stabilize Xiakou, and control the Jiangdong Army on the south bank of the river.

As long as Sun Ce's Jiangdong army cannot cross the river and they are confined to Jiangdong, it will be a matter of time before they are dealt with.

Places like Wu County, Danyang County, Kuaiji County, and Chaisang County not only have a small population and little arable land, but are also filled with miasma and are home to many mountain hermits and bandits.

If the Jiangdong army continues to stay in this situation, they will never achieve anything.

Not to mention, Sun Ce's wanton massacre in Jiangdong offended many aristocratic families.

But I didn’t expect that this battle would yield such a great harvest!
