After the dynasty dispersed, Liu Bei quickly found Liu Qi, then pulled him to a corner of the palace and discussed his ideas with him in detail.
"My dear nephew, are you more trustworthy than your uncle?" Liu Bei said to Liu Qi seriously.
Liu Qi calmed down and looked around. After seeing that there was no one else around, he asked Liu Bei: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Bei raised a finger, covered his lips, and said: "My dear nephew, don't say anything else. If you can trust my uncle, you will go to your majesty soon and ask to guard Jiangling City with me to protect your majesty, Fu Wan and others."
Escape and buy time."
When Liu Qi heard this, he suddenly panicked.
To be honest, he didn't want to stay in Jiangling City and fight with Liu Bei against Tao Shang's army. If he could successfully follow the emperor to Yizhou, wouldn't it be the best choice for him?
Liu Qi swallowed softly, showing a dilemma.
"Why, my nephew can't trust me?" Liu Bei showed a smile.
Liu Qi sighed and said, "Oh, to be honest, uncle...it's not that I don't want to stay here to help you...it's just that I'm afraid of death."
Liu Bei couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Liu Bei was very relieved that Liu Qi could speak so frankly to him. He patted Liu Qi on the shoulder and said to him with a smile: "Nephew, my relationship with your father is so good, can I still harm you?"
Liu Bei smiled and said to him: "Qi'er, how could uncle harm you? Let me tell you, if you stay in Jiangling City with your uncle to defend the city, you can save your life. If you follow them to Xichuan, you will only be able to save your life."
If you are afraid, your life will be at risk."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qi suddenly became nervous. He quickly asked: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Bei summoned Liu Qi and whispered to him. Then he said to Liu Qi: "Nephew, I have told you everything that needs to be told. It depends on you what to do."
After that, he patted Liu Qi on the shoulder and walked away.
…
Two days later, Liu Qiong, Fu Wan and others prepared a large boat on the waterway in the west of the city, leading a group of soldiers and soldiers and the people in the harem, including chariots and horses, family members of ministers, luggage and other items, and everything in the palace.
Among the accompanying team this time.
In this huge team, there are not only soldiers, but also women, domestic slaves, and all kinds of people. You can understand the hugeness of this fleet just by imagining it.
Jiangling City faces water on three sides, and its west city gate is connected to the waterway outside Jiangling City. The fleet in the city can run directly to the river along the west side of the city.
The agreed time has arrived, and basically all the ministers and their families have arrived, but only Liu Qi has not arrived.
While Fu Wan ordered his people to count the people who arrived, he asked doubtfully: "What's going on with this great Sima? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Dong Cheng said from the side: "Master, it's almost time. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid it will affect the departure of the ship. If the wind direction changes, it will be difficult to go against the river again."
Fu Wan nodded heavily and said: "That's all we can do now. Liu Qi hasn't come yet. Who is the vanguard officer of the navy?"
"Wang Wei." Dong Cheng said affirmatively.
"Okay, now that the arrangements have been made, let the soldiers of the three armies prepare to set off and sail the ship!"
…
The water fence gate in the west city of Jiangling City slowly rose, and warships sailed out of the city and headed to the west of the waterway.
The people on the first warship were Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, followed closely by the fourth ship, which was the ship where the Emperor Liu Qiong and the Empress Dowager Fu were.
As for the left and right sides of this group of warships, there are many small warships to support all the warships among them.
The general who led the small warship was Wang Wei, who was responsible for safety.
Riding on the darkness, a fleet of boats sailed up the river and headed straight for the Xichuankou.
But obviously, it would not be easy for Liu Qiong, Fu Wan and others to escape to Xichuan so easily.
As the fleet was traveling halfway, they suddenly heard countless rockets shooting into the sky from both sides of the river, illuminating the entire river so brightly that no one dared to look directly at them.
Countless small boats emerged from the reeds on both sides of the river, overwhelmingly swarming toward the fleet of Fu Wan and others. The soldiers on the warships each held torches, and the surroundings were illuminated like daylight.
On the warship, the warlord swinging the sword in his hand, naked and shouting loudly at the fleet while galloping, was none other than Gan Ning.
"Jingzhou thief, where do you want to go? Come and die!" Gan Ning shouted loudly.
Those densely packed boats surrounded Liu Qiong, Fu Wan and the others from all directions.
Fu Wan stood at the head of the bed, looking at the boats surrounding them in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "How could this happen...how could this happen? Why didn't the Jinling Army attack the city, and why did they rob and kill us here?"
At this moment, Gan Ning suddenly jumped up from the small warship, and with his strong legs, he jumped onto the deck that was lying on the bow of the ship.
Fu Wan and Dong Cheng looked at him in horror.
Gan Ning looked at them with a chuckle: "You two thieves, you didn't choose a good way to escape. How do you want to escape quietly with such a large fleet? Do you really think that our Jinling Army is blind?"
After saying that, Gan Ning looked around and said, "Where is your little emperor?"
Just when Gan Ning was saying this, he saw Dong Cheng pull out the sword from his waist and attack Gan Ning with a sword.
Faced with such a situation, Gan Ning showed no fear. He blocked Dong Cheng's attack with just one glance, as if he were fending off a fly. He looked very impatient.
Dong Cheng was teased by Gan Ning, and he couldn't even stand still, and fell directly to the deck.
Gan Ning, on the other hand, acted as if he didn't see anyone else and just looked around.
At this moment, he saw that the small boats behind Gan Ning began to approach the Jingzhou Army's fleet one by one, and the soldiers on the small warships jumped onto the decks of each warship.
For a moment, the warships that had been sailing smoothly just now and rowing against the current erupted into the sounds of battle. The sergeants from the two sides began to compete with each other on the warships, and the shouts of killing resounded through the night sky for a while.
After laying down, he ran to the side of the big ship and shouted loudly to the river: "General Wang Wei! Where is General Wang Wei? Come and escort us! Protect us!"
"Escort?" Gan Ning was immediately happy when he heard this: "I never thought that the fake emperor was actually on this boat. I am so lucky!"
After saying that, he strode towards the cabin.
At the same time, on the boat next to them, a figure jumped onto the deck where Gan Ning was sitting with a "swish" sound!
The man didn't say anything, he raised his sword and struck Gan Ning on the head.
Gan Ning raised the knife in his hand casually and stopped the man's knife: "Who are you?"
"I am General Wang Wei of Jingzhou!" the visitor said in an aggressive tone.
"I don't know him." Gan Ning grabbed the man's arm nonchalantly, shook him hard, and threw the man on the deck. Then he put away his knife and chopped it directly on his neck.
