Chapter 346 (1/2)
“Is it not possible to go any faster?” Liu Mang asked
“Milord This is the fastest we can go!” The general of the navy, Gan Ning, was helpless The Huai River was a sently All the warshi+ps had their sails up but Liu Mang was still unsatisfied
Liu Mang sighed He knew this fact but he was still anxious The ers he dispatched to Shouchun have not returned He knew that the roads had been blocked off and Liu Bei was the only one that could do this He knew Liu Bei did this tonot feel anxious?
Xu Shu was a loyal and righteouspoint but it was also his weak point Liu Ye had already told hiqi, Shouchun would fall Thisevenmore we can do even if you are worried!” Liu Ye said to Liu Mang “We must believe in Yuanzhi He will hold out until we arrive”
“No” Liu Mang shook his head “I am worried about Yuanzhi because I believe in hiood, it is also his weakness! I a was afraid as Xu Shu was straightforhile Pang Tong would use anything to win
In the original ti and even used hi Sichuan Although he died for it, he had helped Liu Bei split the land into three
This goes to show that Pang Tong would do anything to win and is a person that Xu Shu cannot handle
As Liu Mang and Liu Ye discussed this, the shi+p left the Huai River The water current there was stronger, allowing the shi+p tosaid the momet they were close to Shouchun He had passed by that areanodded The closer he was to Shouchun, the further his heart sank This is because there were only a few people stationed at the water cae in Shouchun
“Milord What do we do now?” Liu Ye also did not knohat to do The safest course of action would be to avoid Shouchun and take the troops back to Lujiang to prepare for a counter attack
“We cannot leave! All soldiers, prepare to enter Shouchun!” Liu Mang had a terrible expression He had spent a lot of effort on Shouchun It was his biggest project since he entered that turbulent era Zhao Yun and Xu Shu were also behind those walls They were like his right hand ret it if he loses Shouchun He also did not want to see how far Liu Bei could expand with Shouchun
“Milord If we enter Shouchun noeobliterated!” It would have been safe if Shouchun had not yet fallen However, it would also be extreerous if Shouchun was already in Liu Bei’s hands Besides that, the sky was already turning dark Not only would the soldiers becoher chance of falling into an enemy ambush Last but not least,Arht
“We ritted his teeth Shouchun et Zhao Yun and Xu Shu out “Brothers! Can you guys hold out?” Liu Mang asked the Urban Ar Army
“We can!” The soldiers replied but their voices lack energy This showed that they actually can’t do it
“Milord! Let us fro and said There were over five thousand soldiers in the navy”
“The navy?” Liu Mang hesitated The navy was once of Liu Mang’s weapons However, he needed them to deal with Sun Ce and as a result, treated the to dispatch theardless of what kind of battles he faced
“Milord We have trained a lot but we still do not have actual combat experience Are we supposed to be side lined forever?” Gan Ning asked with a hint of anger He still haven’t participated in a single battle ever since he joined the navy in Yangzhou Gan Ning had been given shi+ps and had been training all these while Liu Bei’s navy would definitely be inferior to his He wanted to help Xu Shu at Shouchun but was refused He ’s tru fro furrowed his brows He finally noticed that his treasuring of the navy had been too excessive andhad no one else to use, it should be time for them to shi+ne After all, the soldiers still needed to be bloodied to truly beco, take five thousandYou, the Urban Ar Ar left behind a thousand navy to take control of the shi+ps
“Understood!” Liu Ye nodded He kneas not able to help Liu Mang in entering Shouchun After all, he was only a scholar that could not fight It would be better for hi Ready the soldiers!” Liu Mang said to Gan Ning
“Brothers! We’ve got a job to do!” Gan Ning said cheerfully He was still unable to supress his bandit like nature and i paid no s If he had been Yuan Shao, he would have i
The ca’s ates They then quickly went towards the city
“Xu Sheng and Cheng Yu Take your ar left “Make preparations so that we could iive assistance to the Lord when needed
Xu Sheng and Cheng Yu looked at each other for a moment They then cupped their fist and nodded “Understood!”
Liu Ye looked towards the direction Liu Mang left in He already did the best he could out of this terrible situation If needed, he would have the Urban Arardless of the nu back out
