"Little sister is coming?"
Sun Yu was a little surprised.
Ruxukou is located on the front line and is an important military base of Soochow. What is Sun Shangxiang doing here?
Seeing his confused expression, the Jiangdong soldier whispered,
"Reporting to the general, according to what the messenger said, it seems that Marquis Wu intends to marry Miss Sun to Liu Bei, and Miss Sun is quite dissatisfied with this."
"Miss Sun must have left Jianye because of this matter."
Sun Yu frowned when he heard this.
Although he was based in Ruxukou and had not met Liu Bei yet, he had heard that Liu Bei was not young, and seemed to be only five or six years younger than Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian.
And Sun Shangxiang is in her 29th year, young and beautiful, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources to marry Liu Bei who can be her father?
However, this matter is Sun Quan's family matter after all, and it is also related to the alliance between the Sun and Liu families, so Sun Yu can't say anything.
"Did Miss Sun's letter say when it will arrive?"
"Probably in the past two days."
"I know, let's go down."
Sun Yu waved his hand.
One day later, a towering warship was sailed upstream along the Ruxu River to Ruxu Water Village.
Seeing the battle flag with the word "Sun" flying on the warship, the Jiangdong soldiers did not dare to neglect and immediately opened the gate and let the warship pass.
By the time Sun Yu received the news and rushed over, the warship had already docked on the shore.
Hundreds of maidservants with strong postures and swords in hand filed down from the deck and waited quietly on both sides.
Not long after, another girl with a peach-like face but wearing pink soft armor and a heroic figure stepped off the boat.
As soon as she saw Sun Yu, she said softly,
"Cousin!"
Sun Yu couldn't help but smile,
"Little sister, you are here!"
Yes, the coming girl is Sun Jian’s daughter, Sun Quan’s sister, the famous owl concubine Sun Shangxiang!
The two exchanged a few words and then walked side by side towards the water village.
"My cousin must already know why I came to you, little sister, right?"
Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction,
"I really don't know what Liu Bei's merits are that can make my second brother want to marry me to him."
When Sun Jian died, Sun Shangxiang was still a child learning to speak.
She was regarded as the jewel in the palm of Wu Guotai, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan since she was a child, and she developed a unruly and domineering character.
How could she be willing to marry a half-buried old man?
Sun Shangxiang had a good relationship with Sun Yu, so she left Jianye by boat on the pretext of visiting him.
"Presumably Wu Hou has his own plans."
Sun Yu couldn't say anything, so he just comforted Sun Shangxiang with a few words and then changed the subject.
"I wonder how many days my little sister plans to stay when she comes here?"
"If my second brother doesn't give up this idea, I won't go back. What, cousin, don't you welcome me?"
Sun Shangxiang hummed.
"My cousin is not welcome. You can stay here as long as you want."
Sun Yu couldn't laugh or cry.
While the two were talking, they had already entered the water village.
At this time, it was time for the soldiers to drill, and the Jiangdong soldiers were practicing in the open space.
Seeing this situation, Sun Shangxiang slowed down and looked at them intently with his beautiful eyes.
Sun Yu knew that she liked to dance with guns and sticks since she was a child, and she often practiced with the maids around her, so she asked with a smile,
"Little sister, what do you think of these soldiers?"
"My cousin is bragging to you. Let alone Jiangdong, even if you look at the world, my soldiers and horses can be considered elite?"
Sun Shangxiang curled her red lips and smiled nonchalantly,
"Since my cousin is so powerful, I wonder who will win compared with Yang Ling's troops?"
"this……"
The smile on Sun Yu's face suddenly froze.
Yang Ling has great military exploits and a world-famous reputation. How can he compare with Yang Ling?
Regarding this, he was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, cousin, given time, I will definitely lead the troops into battle and capture Yang Ling with my own hands."
Sun Shangxiang said confidently.
"With my little sister's martial arts skills, I can definitely catch her."
Sun Yu didn't take it seriously, echoed with a smile, and walked towards the house with Sun Shangxiang.
At the same time, in a jungle not far from Ruxu Water Village, several figures suddenly appeared.
"General, in front of us is the water fortress built by Jiangdong."
Zhang Liao pointed to the water village not far away and introduced it to Yang Ling.
Jiangdong’s hometown, Jianye, is right on the edge of the Yangtze River.
If Cao's army followed the Ruxu River, they could go down the river and attack Jianye directly.
In order to resist Cao Jun, Sun Quan ordered the construction of a water stronghold at Ruxukou.
Ruxukou is located between Ruxu Mountain and Qibao Mountain. The two mountains are facing each other, and the situation is dangerous.
In Jiangdong, water villages are built on both sides of the river, and they are connected by suspension bridges.
In addition, two more sluices were lifted high.
As long as there is an enemy invasion, Jiangdong can lower the sluices to prevent enemy warships from passing through.
With such a dangerous terrain, it is no wonder that Cao Cao and Cao Ren successively attacked Ruxukou, but both failed.
It's just a pity that you met me.
Yang Ling sneered in her heart and asked Zhang Liao on the side,
"Is the black powder ready?"
"Report to the general, we are ready!"
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.
"That's good, let's do it tonight!"
Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction.
Although there are no powerful ordnance such as heavy fire oil tanks and artillery in the city of Hefei, there is still a lot of black powder.
Yang Ling planned to use black powder to blow up Ruxuwu and catch the Jiangdong army by surprise.
As time goes by, the sky gradually darkens.
Yang Ling ordered Cao Jun to take advantage of the night and start moving towards Ruxu Water Village.
Several soldiers of Cao's army quietly came to the wall of the village carrying wooden barrels filled with black powder.
Although Sun Yu was running the army in a strict manner, because there had been no fighting for so long, the Jiangdong soldiers on the wall were still a little slack.
They hugged their weapons and leaned against the wall to take a nap. They had no idea that Cao's army was already approaching the city.
After everything was arranged properly, Cao Jun's officers and soldiers also waited quietly.
Time soon comes to Mao hour, which is the darkest time before dawn and when people are most tired.
Yang Ling estimated that it was almost time, so he whispered,
"action!"
Zhang Liao nodded knowingly, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and lit the arrowhead covered in kerosene.
"Whoosh!"
The rocket flew straight into the night sky, and the buzzer attached to it made a shrill sound.
After receiving the order, Sergeant Cao immediately lit the fuse without any hesitation.
Sergeant Jiangdong on the wall was also awakened by the sound of arrows.
They clenched their weapons and looked nervously at the darkness in front of them, not knowing what was happening!
After a while, there were only two loud sounds of "bang" and "bang", and the walls on both sides of the strait fell apart.
There was such a huge noise that even the earth trembled!
The Jiangdong sergeants on the wall were buried in the rocks without even knowing what happened!
Seeing that the wall of the village had been blown down, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong on both sides immediately commanded their soldiers and launched an attack!
