Chapter 424 Zhuge Liang on the Verge of Death with a Fever? Zhuge Jin: Poor Kongming!
Let's go back a few days.
A small boat sways in the gale.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were shivering from the cold and huddled together.
As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, one was at the bow of the boat and the other at the stern.
The sky over the Yangtze River can change in an instant.
Of all the feudal lords under heaven, only Liu Bei could have managed to live such a miserable life.
Of course, Liu Bei's perseverance and never-say-die spirit are still worth learning from for later generations.
"Kongming, how much longer until we reach Jiangdong?"
Liu Bei pulled his sleeves tighter; it was too cold, he couldn't stand it.
Zhuge Liang, his body trembling, spoke:
"Almost there, my lord, just one last stretch of the river."
"Once we cross this stretch of the river, we'll reach the territory of Chaisang in Jiangdong!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so cold that they kept sneezing.
Even an iron body can't withstand the strong winds sweeping across the river.
But Liu Bei dared not take the land route at all.
It's no longer safe with Huang Zu; no one can guarantee that Huang Zu will let him leave safely.
Only waterways are relatively safe.
Given Huang Zu's temperament, he would most likely not send his soldiers to cause trouble on such a cold day.
Congratulations to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for guessing the escape route correctly.
But the price was that when the four of them arrived in Chaisang territory...
Apart from Liu Bei, the other three all entered a cold mode with constant sneezing.
Why didn't Liu Bei catch a cold?
It's probably because he has high physical and magical resistance, and after traveling all over the country for many years, he has long been able to survive in harsh environments!
The most tragic figure was Zhuge Liang.
In terms of physical and legal resistance, he cannot compare to Liu Bei.
In terms of physique, he couldn't compare to Guan Yu or Zhang Fei.
Seeing that they had finally reached the shore, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei quickly took Zhuge Liang and prepared to go to a nearby city to find a doctor.
But before Liu Bei could go far, a patrol of soldiers quickly arrived and surrounded Liu Bei and his three companions.
"Who is coming?"
One of the captains among the patrolling soldiers looked at Liu Bei with an unfriendly expression.
"My name is Liu Bei, also known as Liu Xuande."
Liu Bei announced his name.
He thought the patrol team would give him face.
Unexpectedly, the captain of the patrolling soldiers immediately raised his weapon, pointed it at Liu Bei, and said:
"The spy is here! Throw him in the dungeon!"
Liu Bei was dumbfounded.
no……
My name is Liu Bei, not a spy!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei prepared to attack.
Although both of them had caught a cold, they could still exert about 70-80% of their strength, so dealing with this patrol team of soldiers should not be a problem.
unexpectedly.
The captain of the patrolling soldiers seemed to have divine insight; instead of fighting Liu Bei, he secretly sent someone to seek support from afar.
Five minutes of stalemate passed.
Two more patrol teams of soldiers arrived and surrounded Liu Bei and his three companions.
A standard patrol team consists of two hundred soldiers.
Three teams, that's six hundred people.
With six hundred men, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also began to back down.
If they had warhorses, they would certainly have the courage to break through enemy lines on the battlefield.
But damn it, this is foot combat, and they're surrounded, not to mention they're in a weakened state!
"If a real fight breaks out, even six hundred men could surround and kill them!" The weakened Zhuge Liang grabbed Liu Bei's arm and said.
"My lord... my lord."
"Don't resist, just go with them."
"Zhou Yu was training troops in Chaisang; he was a hero."
"If he knew that our lord had come to Chaisang, he would definitely meet with him in person."
After saying this, Zhuge Liang fainted.
A cold can also cause fainting.
However, after Zhuge Liang fainted, the temperature on his forehead continued to rise, and it looked like he was about to develop a fever.
Helpless, Liu Bei gave up struggling and allowed the patrolling soldiers to take them away.
The main problem is that we can't beat them.
Otherwise, someone with Liu Bei's personality would naturally not submit to someone else.
Fortunately, after receiving the news, Zhou Yu quickly summoned Liu Bei and his three companions.
This prevented Zhuge Liang's high fever from worsening further.
Even so, it took Zhuge Liang half a month to gradually recover after his fever subsided, and this was only after Zhou Yu invited a famous doctor to treat him.
To some extent, Guo Tu's statement is not wrong.
Those who choose to follow Liu Bei must first ensure that they are tough enough to survive!
柴桑
In the council chamber
Zhou Yu, his face full of doubt, asked Liu Bei:
"General Liu, if I remember correctly, you should be assisting Liu Jingzhou in Xiangyang right now, right?"
"How did you suddenly end up in my Jiangdong territory?"
Liu Bei knew that news of Liu Biao and Liu Qi's deaths must not have reached Jingzhou yet. (The current timeline is a few days before the previous chapter.)
Otherwise, given Zhou Yu's wisdom, he would not have raised such a question.
Subsequently, Liu Bei informed Zhou Yu of some news from Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu's pupils constricted upon hearing this.
Liu Biao was already very old, so it would be quite normal for him to die suddenly one day.
But with Liu Biao and Liu Qi both dead, Jingzhou was definitely doomed.
In other words, Jiangdong has lost a potential ally.
After Cao Cao takes control of Xiangyang, he will soon launch the next offensive against Jiangdong!
Simultaneously.
Zhou Yu was also amazed.
Even with the deaths of Liu Biao and Liu Qi, Liu Bei remained unharmed.
This guy is... he's incredibly resilient!
"General Liu, please rest assured and stay in Chaisang."
“My lord is a wise man and would not do something like binding General Liu and handing him over to Cao Cao.”
Liu Bei cupped his hands in gratitude.
Zhou Yu was an upright and honest man.
Moreover, he was indeed determined to resist Cao Cao.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Liu Bei had a low chance of winning the war against Cao Cao.
But Liu Bei has a lot of experience points!
His experience in fighting Cao Cao was arguably the most extensive among the living warlords of that time.
……
a few days later
Zhuge Jin, acting on Sun Quan's orders, came to Chaisang to offer his condolences to Liu Bei.
Upon seeing the much thinner Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin's eyes filled with tears.
Poor Zhuge Liang!
Look at the lord you've chosen!
Following this guy, I not only went hungry for three days and nine meals a day, but I also had a brush with death!
But official business was the priority at the moment. Zhuge Jin spoke a few words with Zhuge Liang and then asked Zhou Yu to dismiss everyone, including Liu Bei.
"Gongjin, our lord has ordered you to drive Liu Bei away immediately! Do not let him stay in Jiangdong territory!"
Zhuge Jin's expression was serious.
And that's exactly what Sun Quan wrote in the letter he had.
Upon learning that Sun Quan had refused to accept Liu Bei, Zhou Yu felt something was amiss and asked in confusion:
"Ziyu, why is this?"
"Liu Bei has no grudge against Jiangdong and is a staunch opponent of Cao Cao."
"There is an inevitable battle between Jiangdong and Cao Cao."
"With Liu Bei around, wouldn't he be able to provide more experience in dealing with Cao Cao?"
Zhuge Jin said righteously:
"Gongjin, have you forgotten the fates of the warlords Liu Bei followed?"
"Of Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and Liu Biao, which one is still alive today?"
"Liu Bei is simply a jinx!"
"And my brother Kongming, he caused him so much trouble!"
As she spoke, Zhuge Jin burst into tears.
He completely forgot that just a few days ago, he also didn't believe Liu Bei was a jinx.
Now that Zhuge Jin has witnessed Zhuge Liang's extreme thinness, he has no choice but to believe it!
Once you're in Guo Tu's rhythm, you can only follow him.
Whether Zhou Yu believed Liu Bei was a jinx was none of Zhuge Jin's business.
In any case, Zhuge Jin firmly believed this!
