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

In the distant sky, a group of people and horses came galloping like a storm, raising a cloud of dust.

As the team gradually approached, a flag embroidered with the word "Han" suddenly came into view.

"Han soldiers! They are Han soldiers!"

I don't know who shouted first, but there was a mixture of fear and anxiety in his voice.

The Qin army officers and soldiers around were instantly ignited by the shout. They were all filled with righteous indignation, and it seemed as if fire was spewing from their eyes.

One of the Qin soldiers, with his face flushed red, shouted at the top of his voice:
"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Fight the Han army to the death!"

"We're all going to die anyway, so let them die with us!"

The other Qin soldiers echoed what he said, and their emotions were so excited that they seemed to be ready to fight to the death.

"Captain Cheng, what should we do?"

Lu Qian had an anxious look on his face, his eyes full of fear, and he looked at Cheng Yu for help.

Obviously.

Those soldiers were eager to fight to the death to avenge Cao Pi, but Lu Qian didn't want to die in vain.

But at this moment he was already confused, his mind was blank, and he had no idea what was going on.

He could only place all his hopes on Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.

He frowned, lost in thought.

After a while.

Cheng Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He took another deep breath and said in a low voice:
"We can't die here, we still have to avenge Daqin!"

"Quick, open the blocked road ahead!"

Cheng Yu is planning to escape.

But the soldiers hesitated after hearing this.

They looked at each other, but no one took any action.

Now that their emperor has been captured and the Qin Dynasty has been destroyed, what is the point even if they escape?

Can these few survivors still hope to avenge the Qin State?

In this case, we might as well fight a decisive battle with the Han army.

"Everyone, I know you don't want to live in humiliation."

Cheng Yu seemed to see what everyone was thinking, and he quickly said:
"But if we die, who will restore Qin, who will avenge the late emperor?

"We have to protect ourselves first before we can talk about other things!"

The excitement of the crowd gradually died down.

It has to be said that Cheng Yu's words have a bit of empty promises.

"We only have so few people left. If we don't fight the Han army to the death, even if we survive, can we restore our country?"

A soldier asked loudly with a questioning look on his face.

Cheng Yu raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Although our dynasty is destroyed, Nanzhong still exists."

"We can temporarily submit to Meng Huo's army and use him to avenge us and restore the Qin Empire!"

Cheng Yu spoke very logically, as if everything was under his control.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers became furious.

After all, it was the King of Nanzhong who betrayed them.

If Meng Huo hadn't used them as cannon fodder, how could they have ended up in such a situation?

How could Cao Pi be captured by Zhao Yun?
Meng Huo had caused them so much misery, yet Cheng Yu still wanted them to seek refuge with Meng Huo?
This is a joke.

"Brothers, we must endure the humiliation. This is our only chance to revive and take revenge~~"

In order to save his life, Lu Qian also stood up and echoed Cheng Yu's words.

As soon as he said this, the soldiers gradually calmed down.

It has to be said that Cheng Yu pointed out a way for them to survive, which did give them a glimmer of hope.

For a moment, there was silence and no one spoke anymore.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I, Cheng Yu, swear to heaven!"

He raised his head and said solemnly:

"I will definitely lead you to restore our country and avenge the two late emperors!"

"If I, Cheng Yu, can't do it, I will be punished by heaven and earth!" Cheng Yu said it in a decisive tone, and his sincerity made people believe him involuntarily.

The resistance in everyone's hearts quietly dissipated.

"Okay, we'll listen to you!"

A soldier spoke first, breaking the silence.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the soldiers also responded and expressed their agreement with Cheng Yu's decision.

So, Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief again.

The soldiers began to clear the obstacles in front of them.

Finally, with everyone's efforts, the gap was completely opened and the valley path appeared before everyone again.

Everyone cheered.

Cheng Yu was the first to rush out, and the remaining soldiers behind him followed him and fled in a panic.

……

Zhucheng.

Meng Huo sat on the throne, looking sad and worried.

In the previous battle, Wutugu's entire army was wiped out.

The city that was recovered with great difficulty had to be given up again.

Meng Huo's prestige once again suffered an unprecedented blow.

According to the news from the scouts, Liu Bei was leading an army of more than 100,000 and continued to approach Zhucheng.

The destruction of his Nanzhong seemed to be imminent.

At this time, Meng Huo was naturally very worried, as if a heavy stone was pressing on him.

"Your Majesty, this city cannot be defended."

"Why not retreat south to Gu County!"

Duosi came forward and offered advice.

Meng Huo glared at him and shouted:

"What a stupid idea you came up with. Do you think that if you give up Zhucheng, you can defend Gucheng?"

Duo Si fell silent immediately.

He knew in his heart that Zhucheng was the capital of the Southern Barbarians. They couldn't even defend such a strong city. How could they defend Gu County, which was just a secondary capital?
At this moment, a guard came hurriedly to report:
"Your Majesty, Cheng Yu has come with a group of Qin's remaining soldiers to surrender to Your Majesty."

"Cheng Yu said that the Qin Emperor was dead and they had nowhere to go, so they wanted to submit to the king."

Meng Huo's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw a ray of hope.

Cao Cao’s son is dead!
Cheng Yu is still alive?

He had long known that Cheng Yu was extremely intelligent and far superior to his southern barbarian advisers.

Now he is facing a difficult situation and his officials are at a loss as to what to do.

Maybe Cheng Yu really has a good idea?

Thinking of this, Meng Huo seemed to see hope, and immediately shouted loudly:
"Then why are you standing there like an idiot? Invite Cheng Yu in right away!"

After a while.

Cheng Yu, dressed in mourning clothes, walked in slowly with a solemn and sad face.

Meng Huo was stunned when he saw it.

Cheng Yu knew what Meng Huo was thinking, so he burst into tears and choked up:
"Your Majesty, our emperor was killed by the big-eared thief. As a subject, I should do the same."

Cheng Yu explained the reason.

Meng Huo suddenly realized.

So he couldn't help but respect Cheng Yu's loyalty and praised him.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Meng Huo:
"King of Nanzhong, the emperor of our family has passed away. We have nowhere to go but to surrender to the king."

After Cheng Yu pretended to be a loyal minister, he finally expressed his intention to surrender.

Meng Huo was very happy in his heart, but he deliberately asked:
"You are a subject of Cao Qin. Are you really willing to be loyal to me?"

Cheng Yu was well prepared when facing Meng Huo's questioning.

He raised his head, his expression solemn, and said:

"My dynasty has fallen, and I have fulfilled my duty as a subject. It is only natural for me to submit to the king now, and it does not count as betrayal."

"I will not hide it from you, Your Majesty. We surrender to you because we want you to help us avenge our late emperor!" (End of this chapter)
