Chapter 440 First Person Perspective Record
In the box was a piece of white cloth that had been prepared in advance.
Luo Jiu said to all the soldiers, "A month ago, I, along with all the princes in the world, raised an army to fight against the enemy in order to support the Han Dynasty. Among them, there was an old hero who I admired very much. He led the vanguard troops and fought bravely. He is General Sun Jian, my respected brother, the father of General Sun Ce, and the father of my adopted son Sun Quan.
General Sun Jian was loyal to his country, and the soldiers of Jiangdong shed blood for the world, but how did Liu Biao treat them?
Liu Biao disregarded morality and sent a large force to encircle and suppress the Jiangdong soldiers on their way home, and shot and killed General Sun Jian in the back. What crime should such a traitor with a ruthless heart and no sense of patriotism be punished for? "
Sun Ce's eyes were already filled with tears. He raised his weapon high and shouted, "Kill him!"
The soldiers immediately responded: "Kill him!"
"Hush!" Luo Jiu raised his hand to calm everyone's excitement, and said slowly: "This place is not far from Jingzhou, everyone please keep your voices down before entering the city."
Luo Jiu pulled a piece of white cloth and tied it around his forehead, and asked someone to distribute it to the soldiers. In the blink of an eye, everyone was wearing the white cloth, and the atmosphere was sad and solemn.
Sun Quan's face wrinkled, tears falling down. He cried, "My father died unjustly. I beg my stepmother, the generals, and the 40,000 soldiers of the Chang'an Army to avenge my father. Sun Quan kowtows to you all."
Who could bear to see an eight-year-old child begging like this? The old Jiangdong generals burst into tears and cried loudly, all of them filled with indignation.
Luo Jiu pulled Sun Quan up and said, "Quan'er, don't cry. The crying tonight should come from Jingzhou City."
Luo Jiu said to everyone: "The nights of Jingzhou are so dark because villains are in power. Tonight we will enforce justice on behalf of heaven, light up the entire Jingzhou city with war flames, kill Liu Biao, and seize Jingzhou. Generals, step forward and listen to my orders."
Everyone quickly wiped their tears, bowed and stepped forward to receive the order, "I will be here."
"Feng Qi, Fu Bao, I order you two to be special vanguards. Sneak into the city tower and open the east gate of Jingzhou City within one stick of incense."
Everyone was stunned, and their tears were frightened back. Although they didn't say it, they were secretly wondering: Is there such a way to fight? No matter how skilled you are, you can't climb such a high wall! And let two people go? Is this a vanguard or a sacrifice?
But they heard the two men say in a sonorous and powerful voice without hesitation: "I will obey your orders."
The two mounted their horses and set off immediately, leaving everyone stunned. The other orders were quite reasonable. Jingzhou City had six gates in total, and Luo Jiu's troops were divided into six groups, all lying in ambush three to five miles away from the gates.
The Eastern Army was the main force, and once the city gates were opened, they rushed in immediately. They had three tasks: first, to open the other five city gates from the inside to let the five armies enter the city; second, to surround Liu Biao's governor's mansion; third, to surround the Jingzhou Army camp.
All the generals received their orders and before they set off, Luo Jiu suddenly said, "I forgot to tell you a bad news. Our food and fodder is only enough for the next meal. But I also have a good news for you. There are millions of military rations in Jingzhou City. So in this battle, we must win but not lose, because we have no way to retreat."
Xu Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will chop off Liu Biao's head and make sure he doesn't see the sun tomorrow morning."
All the generals led their troops to the designated location. Luo Jiu pulled Sun Quan onto the chariot and led a group of advisers and civil officials to watch the battle in the Eastern Army.
The Eastern Army's main generals Sun Ce, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu arrived early. When they arrived, they saw two black shadows climbing up the city wall like lightning in the night.
Cheng Yaoyao and Zhong Jialing rode their horses to the front of the army, quietly put on their night vision equipment, drew their bows and aimed at the soldiers on the city wall, preparing for long-range support.
Feng Qi and Fu Bao were seen climbing up the city wall with ropes. They immediately shot six arrows at once, and a row of soldiers fell to the ground.
"Good!" Dian Wei couldn't help cheering, "I really didn't expect that General Cheng and Chief Zhong were so good at archery."
Xu Chu: "How can they see clearly from such a distance? I'll go over and ask."
Just as he was about to go over, he suddenly saw a red flag hoisted on the city wall. Sun Ce quickly reminded him, "The city gate is about to be opened, everyone get ready."
As soon as the suspension bridge was lowered, 20,000 troops from the Eastern Army rushed forward and broke into Jingzhou City in an instant.
Liu Biao woke up from his sleep and suddenly heard the deafening sound of killing outside. He was shocked and asked, "Where does the killing sound come from?"
A figure outside the door answered: "Luo Jiu led the Chang'an army to break into the city. The six major gates have been breached. Two thousand armored soldiers have surrounded the governor's mansion. You can't get out."
Liu Biao felt the voice was unfamiliar and asked, "Who are you?"
The door was kicked open by the young general in white robes. The spear in his hand was still dripping with blood. The young general was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was full of anger. "I am Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, and I have come to take your life."
Liu Biao cried out in shock and died instantly.
The battle lasted a whole night. The people of Jingzhou closed their doors and listened to the sounds of fighting all night.
At dawn, someone outside suddenly shouted an order to the whole city: "The Jingzhou army ambushed and killed loyal officials, and the Chang'an army acted on behalf of heaven. Today our army has won a great victory, and Liu Biao is dead. My mistress Luo Jiu has ordered that the city should not be massacred, and the people should not be disturbed. All the people in the city can live a normal life..."
The people of Jingzhou were secretly relieved after hearing this. You know, "massacre in a city" was a trend at that time, and Cao Cao was a famous massacre enthusiast. He didn't love killing people, but mainly wanted to steal food. He was afraid of being scolded for stealing food from the people, so he just killed them.
The people did not expect that the weather would change overnight. They plucked up their courage and went out, only to find that the soldiers were patrolling the streets in an orderly manner and posting notices. As expected, there was no looting, so they felt relieved.
After a while, thousands of soldiers passed by on the street, rushing towards the city gate.
The faithful people followed curiously to watch the excitement. They saw several soldiers standing on both sides. The ceremonial officer was an old man with a white beard. He stood on the city wall and cleared his throat: "Chang'an Army..."
"Wait a minute!" Zhong Jialing interrupted him quickly, "Your voice is too soft. I have a little thing I invented here. Talk to it."
Zhong Jialing turned up the loudspeaker to the maximum volume, and the old man's eyes were dazzled. "What is this?"
Zhong Jialing: "Don't worry about it, you can say yours, and I will take it away after you use it."
As a result, half of the people in Jingzhou City heard a voice that seemed to come from heaven.
"The soldiers of the Chang'an Army and the people of Jingzhou respectfully welcome General Luo to enter the city and take over Jingzhou!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down in unison, and the people followed suit. Someone quietly raised his head and saw a chariot in the team entering the city, and a woman in military uniform sat on the chariot.
She was seen holding her head high and her eyes blazing with light. Wherever she went, everyone bowed down to her. She looked down upon everyone with great pride and style.
Luo Jiu saw Feng Qi in the welcoming team and thought, "Didn't we agree that you guys don't have to welcome me? Why do you have to come and participate in this drama?"
She was just wondering when she saw Feng Qi quietly take out his cell phone, cover it with his sleeve and point the camera at Luo Jiu.
Feng Qi quickly took a few photos, then pressed the video record button and whispered, "Family, we have taken Jingzhou. This is a first-person video. My sister and I are now the rulers of Jingzhou."

During these few nights, Cao Cao slept very uneasily, always feeling as if something big was about to happen.
It was the rainy season, and there were bursts of spring thunder. A bolt of lightning woke Cao Mengde up. He was sitting on the bed to calm down when Cheng Yu knocked on the door and said, "My lord, the person sent to Jingzhou to report the news is back."
Cao Cao was so anxious that he ran barefoot down to open the door and said, "Tell me quickly, what's the situation?"
