Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 142: God's Arrow, Liu Bei Rides Horse to Fight Xiangyang (6K)

The autumn wind is bleak.

The former site of Changban.

Hundreds of armored soldiers with white furs inserted into their helmets moved like snakes.

In the middle stands a general with silver hair on his temples.

Although the years have left wrinkles on his face, the warmth that has remained the same for decades has not diminished.

Looking at the mountains on both sides, Liu Bei’s thoughts flew back to more than ten years ago.

The old days.

Liu Cong of Xiangyang secretly surrendered to Cao Cao but did not inform Liu Bei in Fancheng, so Liu Bei only learned the truth when Cao Cao's army arrived in Wancheng.

Liu Bei had no choice but to abandon Fancheng and flee. When he arrived in Dangyang, he was followed by more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

Although Liu Bei had a large army, only a few of them were wearing armor.

He was unwilling to abandon his men and could only march a dozen miles a day. Eventually he was defeated by Cao Cao's elite cavalry at Changbanpo.

Including Liu Bei, many families of soldiers were captured, and countless civilians suffered.

It is benevolent, but also unkind; it is virtuous, but also unvirtuous.

Liu Bei often felt regretful about this, and often sighed that he was "lacking virtue": Perhaps if he had been ruthless enough not to take the common people with him that day, the common people would not have suffered, or the families of the soldiers would not have been captured.

Now I return to my hometown, but although everything is still there, the people are no longer there.

Liu Bei and his left and right.

Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong followed on horseback.

Time has also left traces of vicissitudes on the faces of both of them.

Although Zhang Fei insisted on coming to Jingzhou, Liu Bei did not let Zhang Fei serve as the vanguard.

Liu Feng once privately said, "As a general, you should clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, or share the hardships with the soldiers, so that the soldiers will be eager to serve. Now that your father has led the army far away, it will naturally make the soldiers resentful. If you can't sympathize with the soldiers' hardships, it will be a way to disaster."

Therefore, it was suggested that Liu Bei could bring Zhang Fei with him to restrain him, help him to show favor to his warriors, and not let him act as a vanguard.

In the past, when Liu Feng was young and had little achievement, he had no right to evaluate Zhang Fei. Even if he evaluated him, Liu Bei would just laugh it off.

Today, Liu Feng has achieved the merits of "saving Jingzhou from danger" and "pacifying Nanzhong". In terms of achievements and reputation, he is no less than Zhang Fei. Naturally, he is qualified to evaluate Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei was actually very aware of Zhang Fei's character flaws.

Although he is as brave as Guan Yu and can fight against ten thousand enemies, compared with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei is not so suitable to rule a place alone, especially he cannot station troops in a position bordering the enemy.

Guan Yu valued his soldiers, Zhao Yun also valued his soldiers, and even the newly promoted Wei Yan was good at raising strong men.

Only Zhang Fei was an exception. Not only did he impose severe punishments on people, he also often whipped and beat strong men. The ancient teachings of eating sheep soup are still relevant today. Although Zhang Fei read books, he did not understand the principles. Liu Bei was extremely worried about this.

Despite repeated admonitions, Zhang Fei remained unmoved.

If he was wrong, Zhang Fei admitted it; if he was punished, Zhang Fei took it.

Admit the mistake, get punished, and the matter remains the same.

Liu Bei often felt both loving and helpless.

In the past, Liu Bei promoted Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong. In addition to promoting the younger generation, it was also because Zhang Fei's character flaws made him unsuitable for guarding Hanzhong.

This three-pronged attack on Wei was of vital importance to Liu Bei and there could not be any mistakes.

Liu Feng made this suggestion privately because he was worried that Zhang Fei might get into trouble because of his eagerness to achieve merit.

Just imagine: Zhang Fei, as the vanguard, was anxious to make a contribution in order to capture Xiangyang, but because he was harsh on his subordinates, he was chopped off by his subordinates and presented to Cao Ren. Then, the most critical breakthrough in the central route of Liu Bei's three-pronged attack on Wei would become a joke.

What's more serious is that if Zhang Fei died, Liu Bei and Guan Yu would fall into a state of rage and lose their minds due to anger, and many uncontrollable accidents would occur in the war.

Liu Feng didn't want to avoid Ma Su's troubles, only to encounter Zhang Fei's troubles again.

The pain of Zhuge Liang's failure in his first Northern Expedition was absolutely unbearable for the newly established New Han Dynasty.

If it fails, not only will the Northern Expedition be thwarted, it will also cause serious internal instability and make future Northern Expeditions even more difficult.

Liu Bei was also well aware of the pros and cons of this, so after arriving in Jingzhou, he always kept Zhang Fei by his side to discipline him. He also often took Zhang Fei to visit the Langzhong warriors to inquire about their well-being and to resolve the resentment of the Langzhong soldiers with kindness.

In front of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, who used to be harsh on his athletes, became as docile as a cat. He would obey Liu Bei's orders even if it looked clumsy and awkward when he asked his athletes about their well-being.

Not only that, Liu Bei also specially made a few white furs and presented them to Zhang Fei's left and right generals Zhang Da, Fan Qiang and others in front of Zhang Fei, to encourage everyone.

No one knew what Zhang Dafan Qiang and the others were thinking after they got the Bai Li. All they knew was that they cried all night after returning to the camp, and the next day they all became full of energy, as if they had endless energy.

"Report!"

A horseman came flying.

"Your Majesty, General Wu and General Feng defeated Wei's generals Yin Shu and Zhu Gai outside Yicheng and have successfully captured Yicheng."

Yicheng is the southern gateway of Xiangyang. Once the gate is broken, the army can go straight to Xiangyang.

"Cao Ren actually used these two foolish thieves to guard Yicheng. It is really God's help that Your Majesty can take Xiangyang!" Zhang Fei shouted excitedly.

Liu Bei also smiled.

It took Wu Ban and Feng Xi much longer than Liu Bei expected to capture Yicheng.

"We can't miss this opportunity! Quickly pass on my order: Order Generals Huang Quan and Chen Shi in Jingcheng to lead the navy north to Yicheng immediately. The rest of the troops should speed up."

Liu Bei decisively issued a new military order.

Yicheng is the gateway to the south of Xiangyang, and is also a transit point that Liu Bei needs. The sooner Yicheng is captured, the more beneficial it will be for Liu Bei to capture Xiangfan.

Inside Fancheng.

Yin Shu and Zhu Gai tied themselves up in front of Cao Ren and bowed their heads to plead guilty.

Cao Ren's face was as gloomy as water, and he asked in a cold voice: "Why did you disobey my order and leave the city without permission?"

As soon as Xu Huang and Yu Jin left, Xiangfan's military strength was greatly weakened.

In order to guard against another large army attack from Nanjun, Cao Ren left Lu Chang with 5,000 soldiers to guard Xiangyang, and also left Yin Shu and Zhu Gai with 3,000 soldiers to guard Yicheng.

With Yicheng's defenses and supplies, it could hold out for half a month even if it was surrounded on all sides. Half a month was enough to buy Cao Ren more time to deploy troops and organize the garrison.

result.

Yin Shu and Zhu Gai actually chose to leave the city, with the reason being: to break Guan Yu's might and appease the people. Only by defeating Guan Yu's vanguard could they defend Yicheng.

As far as military strategy is concerned, there is actually nothing wrong with the reasons given by Yin Shu and Zhu Gai.

This was the case when Zhang Liao was guarding Hefei.

If Cao Ren was in Yicheng, it would be the same.

If Xu Huang was in Yicheng, it would be the same.

If Yu Jin was in Yicheng, the same thing would happen.

however.

Before being beaten up by Guan Yu, Cao Ren was a great general of Cao Wei. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Yu Jin were the most capable generals from other families of Cao Wei, and all of them were first-rate warriors with high personal strength and command values.

What are Yinshu and Zhugai?
Take Yin Shu for example. During the Battle of Hanzhong, Yin Shu was ordered to supervise and escort soldiers to help in the battle. However, the soldiers rebelled after they had walked forty miles, and Yin Shu's people were almost wiped out.

The ability is evident.

Zhu Gai is not much stronger than Yin Shu.

What Cao Ren was angry about was: Yin Shu and Zhu Gai, don't you know what level you two are at? Not everyone can play the game of "breaking their might to appease the people"!
Yicheng, which could have been defended for half a month, was only defended for one day, which created tremendous defensive pressure on Xiangyang and Fancheng in the rear!

Defending a city is not something that can be done by just giving a command and asking the soldiers to go up to the top of the city walls.

It takes time to destroy bridges, set up roadblocks, stockpile firewood, mobilize laborers, blockade passes, prevent the enemy from setting up camp, and so on. It takes time to deploy troops and organize and coordinate.

Because of Yin Shu and Zhu Gai's unauthorized actions, Cao Ren lost half a month!
Yin Shu and Zhu Gai blushed with shame and dared not say a word.

The two had never heard of the names of Wu Ban and Feng Xi and thought they were just two unknown generals.

So he chose to attack out of the city.

Zhu Gai's army was doing fine, and they fought Wu Ban on equal terms.

Yin Shu was in a miserable state and was nearly killed in battle by Feng Xi. Frightened, Yin Shu rode away on his horse, and the defeated soldiers dispersed Zhu Gai's army.

Before they could return to the city, they were caught up by Feng Xi, so Yin Shu and Zhu Gai had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.

Defeating the enemy and killing the general means that the general is not subject to military orders when he is away from the battlefield.

If the army was defeated and the city was lost, it was called disobeying military orders and leaving the city without permission.

lost.

Gotta admit it!

Seeing that the two generals were about to be beheaded, Zhao Yan hurriedly approached and advised: "General, although the two are guilty, we need them now, so it is not good to execute them. It is better to let them make meritorious contributions while serving their crimes."

Yin Shu and Zhu Gai's hearts trembled and they looked at Cao Ren hopefully.

Cao Ren snorted coldly.

Cao Ren knew what Zhao Yan said.

How can we deter the entire army if we just let the two of them off easily?
"Give him thirty strokes of the cane and make him build the city wall as punishment. If he disobeys my order again, he will be executed without mercy!" Cao Ren suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

Yin Shu and Zhu Gai were relieved and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Compared to being beheaded, being caned thirty times and forced to repair the city wall were already extremely light punishments.

After Yin Shu and Zhu Gai left, Cao Ren fell into deep thought again.

The current situation makes Cao Ren worried.

First, Liu Feng attacked Nanxiang, then Guan Yu attacked Shiyang, and now Yicheng has been captured by the Han generals Wu Ban and Feng Xi.

Cao Ren had also never heard of Wu Ban and Feng Xi.

Guan Yu had many brave generals under his command, and it was impossible for Cao Ren to have intelligence on every one of them.

What worries Cao Ren is: what is Guan Yu’s real intention.

Is it to attack Shiyang and Nanxiang openly, but to take Xiangfan secretly?
Or is it that they openly attack Shiyang and Nanxiang and then use the trick of launching a surprise attack, but the real purpose is to take Shiyang?
Cao Ren expressed his doubts and asked Man Chong and Zhao Yan.

ponder for a moment.

Man Chong concluded: "I think Guan Yu's intention is still Xiangfan, and the troops attacking Shiyang are just decoys.

If Guan Yu's intention was Shiyang, he should have stayed to guard the Guanjin Pass in Nanjun and concentrated his superior forces to attack Shiyang instead of dividing his troops into two places.

Looking at the vanguard that Guan Yu used to attack Yicheng, they were able to defeat Generals Yin Shu and Zhu Gai. They must have been the elite in the army.

Guan Yu is trying to divide the troops in Xiangfan by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west! "

In normal military operations, the enemy is always using the majority to defeat the minority.

If you are short of troops, you must try to divide the enemy's troops and then create a local advantage by using your superior numbers to defeat the enemy.

This is what happened when Cao Cao fought Yan Liang in the past.

First, Yan Liang's troops at Baimazin were transferred to Yanjin, and then superior forces were concentrated to attack Baimazin to form a local advantage of the majority against the minority.

Therefore, Man Chong judged that Guan Yu was also like this.

Zhao Yan echoed Man Chong's judgment: "Shiyang is useless to Guan Yu. If he takes Shiyang, Guan Yu will have to divide his troops to garrison Shiyang, and at the same time he will have to face the heavy troops deployed by Your Majesty in Runan directly.

In addition, Sun Quan built a new city of Wuchang south of Fankou, established Wuchang County, and moved a large number of soldiers and civilians to Wuchang County. Guan Yu could not deploy heavy troops to guard the city. I don't think he would dare to take Shiyang lightly and increase the pressure on defense. Cao Ren frowned and said, "Although Guan Yu's taking Shiyang will increase the pressure on defense, taking Xiangfan will increase the pressure on defense even more. If he doesn't take Shiyang but Xiangfan, isn't it giving up the near for the far?"

Man Chong and Zhao Yan were silent.

Cao Ren’s question is not without reason.

Whether Guan Yu takes Shiyang or Xiangfan, the defensive pressure will increase, and the pressure increased by taking Xiangfan is obviously greater.

So what was Guan Yu’s real intention?
a long time.

Zhao Yan speculated again: "Or maybe we all guessed wrong. Guan Yu's real intention is not in Xiangfan or Shiyang, but in Fankou! Maybe Guan Yu wants to use the trick of destroying Guo to drive Sun Quan back to Jiangdong?"

Cao Ren did not comment on this speculation.

Neither Cao Ren nor Man Chong and Zhao Yan speculated on the possibility that Liu Bei would come to Jingzhou.

after all.

If Sun Quan had not launched a surprise attack on Nanjun, Cao Ren would have been driven out of Xiangfan by Guan Yu two years ago.

Although Cao Ren was arrogant, he was not so arrogant as to think that under the premise that Sun Quan was driven out of Jingzhou, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Liu Feng would have to lead the troops of Jing and Yi to attack Xiangfan together.

Man Chong and Zhao Yan also did not believe that this was possible.

however.

Two days later, the information from Shiyang was delivered to Fancheng.

Both Cao Ren and Man Chong and Zhao Yan were shocked.

"Liu Bei is in Nanjun?"

What is a surprise?

This is the surprise!
Cao Ren felt a little panicked.

If Liu Bei was really in Nanjun, the situation in Xiangfan would become serious.

"Perhaps, it's just Sun Quan's guess." Zhao Yan murmured.

Man Chong's face was solemn: "Sun Quan is in Fankou, and it is easier for him to get intelligence than us. This just proves my previous guess is correct. Guan Yu is not seeking a distant place instead of a nearby one, but Liu Bei has come to Jingzhou!

It is better to be cautious than to believe it. Regardless of whether the intelligence sent by Sun Quan is true or false, it should be treated as true.

What's more, Sun Quan has no reason to lie to us! Whether Guan Yu wants to attack Shiyang or Xiangfan or use a trick to destroy Guo, it will not be good for Sun Quan. Sun Quan's move should be to protect himself!"

Cao Ren took a deep breath.

This information made Cao Ren's hands tremble. Why mobilize such a large army to attack Xiangfan?

"Bo Ning, quickly send a boat across the river to Xiangyang and tell Lü Chang: The city is safe as long as the people survive, and the city is destroyed and the people die! Bo Ran, you quickly send people to Luoyang to ask His Majesty to send troops to support, and tell Liu Bei that he may personally lead the expedition to Xiangfan.

Send someone with my order to Runan to find Cao Xiu and Zhu Ling, and have them pay close attention to the battle in Xiangfan. If they find Liu Bei's flag, don't wait for your majesty's order, and send troops to help me immediately!"

Cao Ren knew it well.

If Liu Bei were allowed to complete the blockade of Xiangfan, just like Guan Yu did last time when he surrounded Xiangfan with his troops, it would be difficult for him to send people for help.

In particular, Cao Ren must send the intelligence that Liu Bei is very likely to lead the army in person to Luoyang as soon as possible, otherwise it will seriously affect the judgment of Cao Pi and other civil and military officials.

As for Cao Xiu and Zhu Ling of Runan, they were there because Cao Ren was worried that Cao Pi would not be able to send troops in time.

Although Cao Pi has proclaimed himself emperor, his current situation is not good. There are many internal rebellions and many of his ministers are not fully convinced.

It was just a piece of information speculating that Liu Bei might lead the army in person, and it might not attract Cao Pi's attention.

If Cao Pi fails to send troops in time and Liu Bei really leads the army in person, Cao Ren will not be sure he can stop them.

Although there is no flood this year, winter is approaching and the supplies in Fancheng may not last until Cao Pi arrives.

Especially firewood.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren became annoyed again.

If Yin Shu and Zhu Gai could hold out for another half a month, Cao Ren could mobilize the army and civilians to go outside the city to cut wood and firewood for another half a month.

As long as there was enough firewood, even if Cao Pi could not send troops in time, Cao Ren was confident that he could hold out until Cao Pi's reinforcements arrived.

Cao Ren responded quickly.

Liu Bei's blockade was equally quick.

Huang Quan led the navy to appear in the Han River north of Xiangyang City, directly cutting off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng.

Chen Shi's navy appeared in the moat several dozen feet wide in the south of Xiangyang City, and shot arrows with manifestos on them into the city.

The gist of the manifesto:

Liu Bei, as the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, is determined to attack Cao Wei. Today, he is raising an army of 100,000 from Jing and Yi, with a thousand talented generals and a hundred counselors to take Xiangyang. Those who obey the Han will prosper, and those who resist will perish. I warn the soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang not to make mistakes.

When Lu Chang in the city saw the manifesto that Liu Bei had people shoot into the city, he was shocked and angry.

What was surprising was that the person outside the city was actually Liu Bei, just as Man Chong had sent the message!
What made me angry was that Liu Bei didn't even hide his anger. Was he underestimating me?
"You, a mat weaver and shoe seller, dare to claim to be the legitimate ruler of the Han Dynasty! I, Lu Chang, am here in Xiangyang. Even if you have an army of 100,000 outside, what can you do to me?" Lu Chang angrily threw the manifesto to the ground.

Although he shouted harsh words, Lu Chang felt very weak inside.

after all.

There are only five thousand defenders in Xiangyang city!
During the time of Liu Biao, Xiangyang was a big city with many soldiers and civilians.

Since Cao Cao went south, most of the people in Xiangyang were forcibly relocated to the north.

Xiangyang thus became a city with few soldiers and civilians.

This time, Cao Ren only gave Lu Chang 5,000 soldiers.

It was not that Cao Ren did not want to leave more troops in Xiangyang. Firstly, Xu Huang and Yu Jin had taken up a large number of troops to support Nanxiang and Shiyang. Secondly, Xiangyang had a moat dozens of feet wide, which required a large number of warships to enter and exit.

If too many soldiers are left, the consumption of supplies in the city, especially firewood, will be accelerated.

If there is no effective supply of materials, Xiangyang City will collapse.

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Ren chose to stay in Fancheng instead of Xiangyang. Cao Ren did not want to leave his army in Xiangyang City like a landlubber!
West of Xiangyang City.

Liu Bei came to Tanxi again.

Looking at the flowing water of Tan River, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of the time when he went to Xiangyang for a banquet and was chased and had to cross the Tan River to escape.

There is a record in the county annals of Xiangyang: When Liu Bei's troops were stationed in Fancheng, Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to a banquet. Kuai Yue and Cai Mao wanted to kill Liu Bei, so Liu Bei tried to cross the Tan River west of Xiangyang City. He was drowning and could not get out. Liu Bei shouted "Di Lu Ke Li Gong" and jumped three meters across the Tan River.

However, they did cross the Tan River, but the story about Di Lu jumping three feet high was just a rumor. It was just a made-up excuse by a group of pursuers who failed to catch up with Liu Bei.

When people get old, they are easily reminded of the past by the sight of things.

When thinking of crossing the Tan River, Liu Bei thought of Liu Biao and Liu Cong's surrender of the city.

The past was like flowing water, reflected in Liu Bei's eyes.

Room of memories.

A warship came from downstream, it was Chen Shi who sent someone to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty, the Xiangyang defender Lu Chang is cursing on the top of the city and refusing to surrender." The messenger spoke angrily, and it was obvious that Lu Chang's words were extremely harsh.

Liu Bei showed a hint of anger on his face, but he quickly suppressed it. "Send an order to Chen Shi, tell the warships to keep their engines on at night and anchor on the Xiangyang moat. Beat drums or blow horns to harass the defenders on the city walls."

Xiangyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If you can persuade them to surrender, do so. If you cannot persuade them to surrender, do not attack by force.

The focus of Liu Bei's attack was still on Fancheng north of the Han River.

Once Fancheng is captured, it will be easy to capture Xiangyang.

North shore.

Zhang Fei, Fu Kuang, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Fu Rong, Wu Ban, Zhao Rong and other generals landed one after another.

Or take Yancheng, north of Fancheng, and cut off the connection between Fancheng and Wancheng.

Or take the Wei Tou and four tombs outside Fancheng and use them to surround Fancheng.

All the generals were excited.

Under Zhang Fei's fierce attack, the defenders of Yancheng did not hold out for a few days.

After appeasing Zhang Fei's left and right officers, Liu Bei finally handed over the most important Yancheng to Zhang Fei.

If Yancheng is not lost, Cao Pi’s reinforcements will not be able to reach Fancheng!
In Weitou and Sizhong, generals such as Fu Kuang, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Fu Rong, Wu Ban, and Zhao Rong built fortifications to encircle Fancheng based on the old sites left by Guan Yu when he sieged Fancheng in the past.

Liu Bei was not in a hurry to attack Fancheng.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Attacking the city is the worst strategy, attacking the heart is the best strategy.

To conquer the enemy’s heart, we must first surround Fancheng.

period.

Cao Ren also sent troops to destroy the fortifications of Wei Tou and Si Zhong, but they were all repelled.

Based on the results of several attempts, Cao Ren judged that there were at least 20,000 Han soldiers surrounding Fancheng!

Further calculations show that the troops surrounding Xiangyang and the rest either divided their forces to attack Yancheng or remained stationary, the number of troops would not be less than 30,000, and might even be close to 40,000.

And Cao Ren now has only 10,000 people in Fancheng!

The result of the calculation shocked Cao Ren greatly: "It seems that the information sent by Sun Quan is correct. It must be Liu Bei who came to attack Xiangfan in person!"

Cao Ren felt angry.

Two years ago, I was besieged in Fancheng by Guan Yu. Two years later, I was besieged in Fancheng by Liu Bei. When did I, Cao Ren, become worthy of being besieged?

After carefully analyzing the intelligence, Man Chong said, "The messenger seeking help has already left Fancheng, and Sun Quan in Fankou also intends to help us. As long as we hold out until your majesty's reinforcements arrive, Liu Bei will not be able to take Xiangyang and Fancheng."

Zhao Yan said worriedly, "That being said, winter is about to come, and the consumption of firewood in the city will increase. If your Majesty's reinforcements are delayed, it will be difficult for us to hold on. In my opinion, it is better to drive out the elderly, the weak, women and children in the city to reduce the consumption of materials in the city."

Zhao Yan's intentions were extremely vicious as he expelled the elderly, the weak, women and children before the battle.

However, Cao Ren did not adopt this decision, but instead rebuked Zhao Yan, saying, "Many of the elderly, weak, women and children in the city are related to the soldiers. How can you drive them away in the middle of a battle and ruin our army's morale?"

Zhao Yan was ashamed and said nothing.

a few days later.

Liu Bei completed the encirclement of Fancheng and rode his horse to the south gate of Fancheng.

Looking at the emperor's banner outside the city, Cao Ren cursed: "Liu Bei, Duke Shanyang has abdicated. His Majesty has ordered Duke Shanyang to follow the Han dynasty and offer sacrifices in accordance with the rites of the emperor. How dare you usurp the throne and claim the throne? How can you face others?"

When it comes to turning the tables, Cao Ren is somewhat capable.

Liu Bei sneered and asked Huang Zhong to step forward and answer.

Huang Zhong carried a bow and arrows on his back, rode his horse and shouted: "Listen, soldiers and civilians of Fancheng, Cao Pi usurped the throne, and the gods and people are angry; our lord is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing, and now he has ascended the throne and is carrying out the Han dynasty.

You helped the traitor Cao Wei and should have been killed, but Your Majesty is merciful and cannot bear to see you lose your lives in vain because of the traitor Cao Wei.

If you are unwilling to help the traitor Cao Wei, you can try to leave the city and surrender, and your past crimes will be forgiven; if you are stubborn and help Cao to commit atrocities, Your Majesty will personally lead an army of 100,000 to flatten Fancheng!

Today I use this arrow to show your majesty the will of heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp arrow in Huang Zhong's hand broke through the air, and the next moment, a flag fell from the top of the city.
