Calculate Liu Hu

  "Father, I beg your permission to follow Second Brother to Jiangling."

  "Huh?" Liu Bei's expression changed slightly as he scolded, "Xuan'er, don't be reckless, withdraw."

  "Father, I am worried about my brother's virtue and elder brother's presence, besides having Xing Ba as an elder brother by my side, I have no worries." Liu's tender face showed determination: "Father, let me go to Jiangling then."

  "This"

  Liu Bei was suddenly severely headache, Liu Bei deeply knew that his son's temperament was stubborn and strong-willed. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed: "Xuan'er stop it, you just follow Xingba to go." He paused, looked at Gan Ning with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xingba, besides the eight hundred brocade sails of our army, also bring one thousand soldiers who are familiar with water warfare, and go together. Xuan'er is handed over to you now."

  "Lord Guan can rest assured." Gan Ning's eyes gleamed with a fierce and murderous aura: "With me, Gan Ning, here, the young master will surely be safe."

  "With this said, you can set your minds at ease." Liu Bei nodded slightly and then suddenly shouted loudly: "Since that's the case, you all should depart quickly."

  "Ah."

  ……

  Just two days after Liu Bei's generals were certain that Gan Ning had retreated back to Jiangling.

  A mountain valley southeast of Jiangling. Liu Hu is leading dozens of people in a fan-shaped hunting formation.

  "Whoosh!"

  An arrow whizzed through the air, hitting a small rabbit in the distance. A soldier's joyful voice rang out: "General, it's a hit! It's a hit!"

  Liu Hu saw that he was not in a good mood and scolded: "Look at you, you're just a rabbit, what's there to be so happy about?" After finishing speaking, a disappointed expression floated on his face, and he secretly sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that Uncle didn't let me follow along to conquer the rebels. The scouts who returned recently reported that the battle was fierce and intense, like a raging fire, which makes my heart itch."

  Liu Hu said with a bored expression as he walked, stopping occasionally. When they arrived at a small stream, he said to those around him, "Let's stop here for today. We'll roast these game and eat them, then we'll immediately return to Jiangling!"

  "It is..."

  Dozens of Imperial Guards responded in unison.

  "Alas!" Liu Hu sighed again, looking at the smiles on the faces of his dozens of personal guards. Liu Hu secretly pondered and thought to himself: "This time when Uncle returns triumphantly to Xiangyang, I'll also take the opportunity to go to Xiangyang to see Father, and bid farewell to this Jiangling Governor."

  Every day is so damn boring, hunting all day, Liu Hu's heart was furious.

  Liu Hu thought so in his heart, and slowly closed his eyes, meditating with his eyes closed.

  It wasn't long before a savory aroma wafted over, and Liu Hu opened his eyes to take in the surroundings. He strode swiftly to the circular formation surrounded by dozens of personal guards.

  "General..."

  "Your Highness..."

  …………

  Various titles kept coming, Liu Hu nodded calmly and took the rabbit leg handed over by his personal guard, taking a big bite and said with a muffled mouth: "Hurry up and eat, after finishing we'll rush back to the city!"

  "General, look at this situation, when we go back, the city gate will be closed!"

  "We rarely go out hunting, what's the hurry to get back?" Another guard said with a mouthful of rabbit meat.

  "You know nothing...!" Liu Hu kicked the small soldier and shouted: "General, entrusted by his uncle to guard Jiangling City, came out today not with General Han, Mr. Fu Xuan said clearly, this delay, they will again teach me 'politics'..."

  That skinny little imperial guard was kicked in the butt, but didn't seem to mind at all, and burst out laughing: "Haha, General, I didn't know you? You've been getting up earlier than a chicken and sleeping later than a dog these days, isn't it just because you want Liu Xuande to put in a good word for you in front of the governor of Jingzhou?"

  Liu Hu's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at the thin imperial guard, growling: "You son of a bitch, Zhu Ba! Have you been itching for a fight lately? Dare to challenge me, General Liu? I'll personally take care of you when we get back to the city!"

  "Ah?" The personal guard named Zhu Ba suddenly became stupid and stuttered: "General, you are magnanimous and spare me, Zhu Ba... I have an old mother and a young child at home..." Zhu Ba's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Liu Hu, causing dozens of people nearby to burst out laughing.

  Liu Hu's dozens of personal guards were all comrades who had grown up together in the military camp, and they often joked around with each other. "Alright, alright..." Liu Hu furrowed his brow, took a bite of rabbit meat, and said: "Let's hurry up and finish eating, then head back to Jiangling!"

  Not far from Liu Hu's place, a group of people were lurking in the woods.

  Standing at the forefront was a robust and majestic figure, none other than Sun Da, a valiant general under Zhang Wu's command. Beside him stood Ma Da, clad in a green robe. As Sun Da gazed out at the leaping flames ahead, his eyes shone with a fiery glow, as if a burning flame was ablaze within.

  Sun Da, seems like a roughneck born for battle!

  His eyes, like a hawk's, stared at Liu Hu in the distance, and a sly smile appeared on his lips. He glanced at Sun Da and said calmly: "General Sun, after a while, Liu Hu will set out to return to Jiangling. I'll trouble you to capture him, and under no circumstances let him escape..."

  "Got it!" Sun Da glanced at Mada with a neutral expression. To be honest, Sun Da didn't like Mada from the bottom of his heart, especially Mada's hawk-like eyes, which made Sun Da feel uncomfortable all over.

  Ma Da listened, his eyes without anger or joy, a hint of disdain and smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, turned to look in the direction of Xiling City, his lips slightly raised an arc, murmuring: "Liu Bei should have taken down Xiling by now?"

  "Hmph, Zhang Wu, you brought this upon yourself, don't blame me. You harbored evil intentions and wanted to take my life?" Ma Da's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, his gaze as cold as the ninth underworld: "Also, take a look in the mirror, do you have what it takes?"

  "Master, Liu Hu is coming this way!" a man in black clothes whispered beside Ma Da.

  "Huh?" Ma Da's eyes flashed, and he fixed his gaze on the front. Suddenly, dust flew everywhere, and in an instant, Liu Hu and dozens of imperial guards appeared before him. Looking at Liu Hu and the others rushing towards them, Ma Da turned to face Sun Da without saying a word, but the meaning in his eyes was already very clear.

  "Hmm..." Sun's nose flared as he snorted, swinging his fists and growling in a low voice: "Fourth Brother, bring some brothers with me..."

  "Yes, big brother!" A man named Lao Si replied in a low voice.

  In a short while, Sun Da led hundreds of elite soldiers out of the forest and headed towards the road that Liu Hu must take to return to Jiangling.

  "Hiss..."

  Liu Hu stood up straight with his horse, his sharp eyes scanning left and right with a hint of vigilance.

  "General, what's up?"

  Zhu Ba's expression was puzzled, and he walked forward, asking in a low voice.

  "Zhu Ba, take a look and see if something is off?" After many years of military service, Liu Hu had developed a sense of unknown danger in his heart. This feeling had helped him escape danger multiple times before, but today, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose to the surface, putting Liu Hu on high alert.

  "Huh?" Zhu Ba's voice was slightly surprised, and then a pair of ordinary eyes suddenly became sharp as electricity, looking around to observe. Although Zhu Ba had a weak and small body, he was favored by Liu Hu and entered the Imperial Guard, which also had its own advantages, that is, being good at observing.

  After a moment of silence, Zhu Ba furrowed his brow and withdrew his gaze. Liu Hu hastily asked: "Zhu Ba, what's the matter?"

  "General, something's not quite right." Zhu Ba's eyebrows were furrowed with a hint of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "However, there is no sign of anything amiss..." Zhu Ba paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming sharply as he looked at Liu Hu: "General, I'm afraid our journey back to Jiangling this time won't be very peaceful..."

  As soon as Zhu Ba spoke, dozens of riders around him suddenly stood up. Liu Hu slightly furrowed his brow and suddenly let out a low growl: "What are you doing? Are you rebelling?" His severe gaze swept across the crowd, and the dozens of riders immediately fell silent. Liu Hu's sharp eyes scanned left, right, and forward, a sly smile spreading from the corner of his mouth as he said coldly: "Even if it's hell ahead, I'll still charge in..."

  "Wang Wu, Zhang Fu!"

  The two men on horseback immediately rode up and replied with a bow.

  "If there are thieves in front of us, General Liu has two things that he doesn't have: a long face and wealth. What they're after is probably the military symbol on General Liu's body!" Liu Hu's eyes flashed repeatedly. Although Liu Hu was known as a martial fool, his mind wasn't dull; otherwise, how could he have been appointed by Liu Biao as the governor of Jiangling?

  Liu Hu growled, "Wang Wu, Zhang Fu, you two first find a place to hide. If I am captured or killed in battle, after the enemy army leaves, quickly go find General Han and hand over the military symbol to him. Alternatively, go to the large camp outside the city and quickly mobilize the troops to garrison Jiangling. Remember, under no circumstances can you let the military symbol fall into enemy hands."

  "General, I..."

  Liu Hu's eyes narrowed, a chill ran through, Liu Hu's mouth curled up, a cruel smile: "You two are calm and steady by nature, so I entrusted you with important tasks. Now it concerns the survival of Jiangling, you two must be extremely cautious..."

  "General..."

  "Go, don't be so effeminate!" Liu Hu handed the military token in his arms to Wang Wu, then looked up at the sky and laughed loudly. With a sudden flick of his horse's belly, he galloped forward, leaving behind a cloud of dust. Wang Wu and Zhang Fu suppressed their grief, and in an instant, they left the troops.

  "Zhu Ba, based on your past experience, where will the enemy be waiting for us?" Liu Hu tightly gripped his knife handle and whispered to Zhu Ba.

  Zhu Ba heard this and his eyes gleamed like lightning. He observed for a moment, then pointed to a place in front of him and suddenly shouted: "The general should be right here."

  "Ah..."

  Before the words had fallen, a shrill and mournful cry was suddenly heard at their ears. Liu Hu and Zhu Ba looked intently ahead and saw that there were pitfalls such as tripwires and horse pits in front of them. In an instant, more than ten of Liu Hu's personal guards fell into the trap. Lying on the ground, they groaned softly, and from the ferocious expression on their faces and their painful appearance, it could be seen that these people were doomed to be slaughtered.

  Before Liu Hu could come back to his senses, a bright and clear laughter was heard.

  "General Liu Hu, is all well? I, old Sun, have been waiting for you here for a long time..."

  Liu Hu looked up and saw a seven-foot-tall man holding a pair of hammers, grinning at him with his mouth open. Liu Hu's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down and pointed the precious sword in his hand at Sun Da, shouting: "Who are you? What are you waiting for here?"
