Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Originally, due to Chen Shi's perseverance, Yufu City was extremely strong, and it was not easy for Xiao Fang to capture it.

But now Xiao Fang cleverly used Yuan Xi, which enabled him to defeat Yu Fu City in one fell swoop.

It can be seen that Yuan Xi was guilty of serious crimes and would be the culprit for the downfall of the Qin Dynasty.

"How can this be?"

"This Xiao Fang, is he a mortal or a reincarnated god?"

Yuan Xi looked up at the sky and asked in a trembling voice.

His eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

"Yuan Xi, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself!"

Looking at the confused Yuan Xi, Xiao Fang said coldly.

Yuan Xi then came to his senses and looked at Xiao Fang, knowing that his life was in his hands.

"Prime Minister Xiao, please give me a chance!"

Yuan Xi begged.

Xiao Fang looked at Yuan Xi begging for mercy, smiled coldly, and then said:

"Yuan Xi, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

"If you had sincerely surrendered to the Han Dynasty, I could have spared your life."

"It's a pity that you were blind and missed the opportunity!"

After saying that, Xiao Fang turned around and didn't bother to look at him again.

Yuan Xi felt extremely regretful at this moment, and two lines of tears of regret slid down his cheeks.

"Prime Minister, I was foolish for a moment. Please give me another chance!"

Yuan Xi begged again.

"Do you think I would trust someone who betrayed my big man?"

Xiao Fang turned around and shouted.

Yuan Xi knew he was in the wrong, but his instinct for survival drove him and he kowtowed with a bang.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Yuan Xi kept kowtowing, making his final effort.

"Don't waste time, come and kill him!"

Xiao Fang waved his hand impatiently.

Xu Chu took the order and approached with a knife in hand.

"No, don't kill me, please spare my life..."

Before Yuan Xi finished his words, Xu Chu's long sword had already chopped down fiercely.

"Crack!"

Blood splattered all over the ground.

Yuan Xi's head fell to the ground and rolled several times before stopping.

Those eyes were still open, unwilling to close.

Seeing Yuan Xi being beheaded, all the soldiers cheered in unison.

"Prime Minister, now that Yufu City has been captured, the gate to Yizhou is open."

"Then after our follow-up troops arrive, we can head west to attack Jiangzhou!"

Deng Ai spoke excitedly.

"No need."

Xiao Fang waved his hand and said firmly:

"Now we have to race against time and don't have to wait for follow-up troops."

"Pass the order down, the army will immediately march westward and take Jiangzhou!"

"Kill them by surprise!"

Xiao Fang looked towards the direction of Jiangzhou and gave a decisive order.

At the command, 40,000 elite Han troops set out towards Jiangzhou without waiting for the follow-up troops.

The Han army galloped along the river bank without stopping.

...

At this time, Cao Cao's main force was tied up in Jiange, and the defense on the southern line was very weak.

The Qin defenders along the way were caught off guard when they saw the arrival of the Han army.

With almost no effort, the Han army easily captured the cities along the way to Jiangzhou.

Immediately afterwards, the Han army advanced hundreds of miles with unstoppable force and finally approached Jiangzhou.

The battle report from Jiangzhou was transmitted all the way to Chengdu City by flying horses.

…Inside Chengdu, at the Prince’s Mansion, Cao Pi was entertaining Sima Yi.

Sima Yi raised his glass and drank, looking relaxed and at ease.

But Cao Pi held the wine glass tightly and did not drink. He sat there with a sad face, shaking his head and sighing.

Looking at Sima Yi's calm appearance, Cao Pi finally couldn't help it.

He sighed and said:

"I'm feeling very restless right now, and I have a lot on my mind. Zhongda, why are you drinking so happily?"

Sima Yi seemed to see through Cao Pi's thoughts and smiled calmly:
"Prince, you must be worried about Liu Bei's army approaching the border, right?"

After hearing this, Cao Pi smiled bitterly, thinking that Sima Yi still knew what he was upset about.

Then he sighed again and said:
"That's right. Liu Bei now has nearly 400,000 soldiers, while my Great Qin only has 70,000 soldiers. What should we do?"

After Cao Pi finished speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.

He seemed to want to use the painful expression on his face to cover up the anxiety caused by the disparity in military strength.

Sima Yi took a sip of wine and looked like nothing was wrong.

He smiled coldly and said disapprovingly:
"Although Liu Bei has more troops than our Great Qin, Jiange is a natural fortress that is difficult to cross."

His words seemed to give Cao Pi hope.

A gleam of light flashed in Cao Pi's eyes, and his whole body immediately became energetic.

"You are right. The natural barrier is difficult to cross. It will not be easy for Liu Bei to capture it."

"but……"

Cao Pi suddenly thought of something and looked worried again.

"Don't worry, Prince. His Majesty is here to supervise the battle. Jiange is a natural barrier that is difficult to cross. Liu Bei is not a reincarnated god, so it is impossible for him to capture it."

Sima Yi comforted him confidently.

After hearing this, Cao Pi finally relaxed his worries.

He raised the glass in his hand again, ready to drink another glass with Sima Yi.

At this moment, Zhu Suo rushed in and shouted anxiously:

"Your Highness, this is bad. This is terrible."

Before Cao Pi and Sima Yi could react, Zhu Shuo had already rushed into the tent and shouted.

"Prince, Zhongda, Yufu City has been lost!"

"The Han army has been attacking cities along the way, sweeping across hundreds of miles, and is now approaching Jiangzhou!"

Cao Pi and Sima Yi were shocked at the same time, and the wine glasses in their hands almost slipped down.

"what?"

Cao Pi jumped up in surprise.

Zhu Suo swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Highness, Xiao Fang designed a plan to seize Yufu City!"

"Xiao Fang?"

Sima Yi's eyes darted around, unable to figure out why Xiao Fang appeared in Yufu, and even less able to figure out what strategy he could use to capture Yufu City.

"Xiao Fang used Yuan Xi to trick Sima Lang into attacking the Han camp at night, setting an ambush and defeating him. Sima Lang ended up losing his life and the city."

Zhu Suo explained the whole story and then continued:

"Then, the Han army attacked our Shu Province from Yufu, and was approaching Jiang Province with overwhelming force."

After hearing this, Cao Pi turned pale.

Sima Yi also widened his eyes, his face full of shock.

The two looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still.

The worry that had just been put aside came flooding back again and hit Cao Pi heavily.

Sima Yi had never expected that Xiao Fang could have such extraordinary abilities.

What made him even more heartbroken was that his brother Sima Lang actually died at the hands of Xiao Fang.

That's my only relative.

Sima Yi suddenly burst into tears.

Cao Pi wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to say it.

After a while, Sima Yi finally recovered.

Cao Pi then asked in confusion:
"Zhongda, what is going on?"

"Isn't Liu Bei leading 400,000 Han troops to attack our Jiange?"

"Then why did Xiao Fang suddenly attack me, Yu Fu?"

Sima Yi calmed down, his thoughts raced, and he soon understood Xiao Fang's trick.

Although it was hard to accept, he could only wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes helplessly.

He forced himself to suppress the grief and anger in his heart, began to analyze Zhu Ruo's words, and soon figured out the whole story.

After a long while, Sima Yi sighed and gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Highness, we have fallen into Xiao Fang's plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!" (End of this chapter)
