The Three Kingdoms: The Prodigal Son of Shu Han, starting with a fiery blaze at Wolong Ridge.

Summary

Gan Ning commands merchant ships to detour as the Eastern Wu navy is preoccupied with Liu Mang's army. He and Jiang Wei plan a surprise attack on Lou County, aiming to catch Wu Commandery off guard. They intend to leverage merchants for their operation, disregarding martial ethics since Eastern Wu had already done so. After landing, Gan Ning and his soldiers swiftly infiltrate Lou County, confronting County Magistrate Zhu Ying. Gan Ning's aggressive approach forces Zhu to cooperate, revealing the defending general is Lu Ji. Jiang Wei assures Zhu that they do not intend to harm the four families of Wu Commandery, urging him to facilitate their plans by exempting their caravans from inspection. Zhu Ying agrees to assist the Han army, leading Gan Ning to Wu Commandery. Meanwhile, Lu Ji, the governor, is unconcerned about his previous status and willingly cooperates with Gan Ning and Jiang Wei, having been advised to do so by his ally Yan. The chapter concludes with the Han army's strategic entry into Wu Commandery, securing local support while preparing for the upcoming conflict.
