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

At this time, Cheng Yu, who had been silent all the time, let out a long sigh.

The sigh seemed to carry endless heaviness and helplessness.

"If you want to survive, there is only one option, which is to surrender to Liu Bei."

Cheng Yu's voice was low and slow, he spoke unwillingly yet helplessly.

When Meng Huo heard this, his body shook violently, as if he was struck by thunder.

He fell silent for a moment, his expression changing unpredictably, and a fierce struggle going on deep in his heart.

Although Cheng Yu's proposal for peace sounded harsh, it was like a sharp thorn piercing Meng Huo's self-esteem.

Although Cheng Yu was not from Nanzhong, he was an outsider in this land.

Meng Huo knew in his heart that at this critical moment, Cheng Yu's proposal seemed to be the wisest choice at the moment.

A long, helpless sigh was heard.

...

Han camp.

Liu Bei was sitting on the main seat, discussing the strategy of breaking the city with his generals.

Although Meng Huo is now in a state of decline, he only has a few soldiers left around him.

But Gucheng is hidden deep in the dense forest, with complex terrain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

When Liu Bei went on this expedition, he was seriously short of heavy siege equipment.

Now, in the absence of suitable siege equipment, if we want to successfully capture Gucheng, we really need to plan carefully.

When everyone was discussing the matter enthusiastically, a personal soldier hurried into the tent to report.

The guard knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the barbarian leader sent his brother Meng Jie to beg Your Majesty."

When Liu Bei heard this, there was no surprise on his face.

Based on his understanding of Meng Huo's current situation, Meng Jie came here either to ask for surrender or to seek peace.

Liu Bei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer:
"Bring Meng Jie into the tent!"

After a while, a man walked into the tent.

"I, Meng Jie, pay my respects to the Emperor of Han!"

Meng Jie stepped into the tent cautiously and bowed respectfully, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Liu Bei glanced at him coldly and asked in a cold tone:

"Meng Jie, are you here to seek death?"

Meng Jie felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, his whole body trembled violently, fine cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and the clothes on the back were also soaked with sweat.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am here on behalf of my brother to ask for peace with Your Majesty."

Meng Jie suppressed his inner fear and tried to calm himself down.

"Meng Huo has reached this point, is he worthy of asking for peace with me?"

Liu Bei's face was full of disdain, and his eyes revealed deep contempt.

Meng Jie swallowed his saliva and said quickly:

"My brother said that as long as the king can give us a way out, he is willing to surrender to us, the people of Nanzhong, and serve Your Majesty forever!!"

Everything was as Liu Bei expected.

Meng Huo finally expressed his surrender.

It’s a pity that his surrender came too late.

"I am only one step away from annihilating him and the southern barbarians. Doesn't he think it's too late to surrender to me now?"

A mocking smile appeared on Liu Bei's lips.

Meng Jie stood there in a daze, his lips trembling slightly, but he was speechless.

Liu Bei's ambition is to conquer the world and wipe out all the Hu and Yi people, so how could he easily let Meng Huo and the people of Nanyi go?
Seeing that his request for peace was fruitless, Meng Jie made a bitter face and spoke again:

"In this case, I am willing to go to your Majesty's tent and serve you at your service."

Meng Jie had no choice but to make the decision on his own and change his mind.

He decided to settle for the second best and let Meng Huo become Liu Bei's surrendered general.

In this way, although he could no longer rule Nanzhong as before, at least he could save his life.

He fully believed that after making such concessions, Liu Bei would approve their surrender.

Unexpectedly, the voice had just fallen.

Liu Bei slammed the table and shouted:
"Come here, chop off this thief's head and send it to Meng Huo in Gucheng!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Meng Jie was immediately shocked and his face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

He fell to his knees and shouted:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to surrender. How can Your Majesty still want to kill me?" Liu Bei looked at him coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent:
"Jing Lue said that those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"

"I will kill you all and let all the barbarians in the world know that to be an enemy of the Han Dynasty is to seek one's own destruction!"

Liu Bei's voice echoed in the big tent, with unparalleled dominance.

Meng Jie then woke up from his dream and finally realized that Liu Bei wanted to kill them all and leave no chance of survival.

Moreover, Liu Bei had enough power to wipe them out in one fell swoop and prevent future troubles.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have mercy~~"

In despair, Meng Jie cried out for mercy at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with fear and pleading.

The Han soldiers on both sides rushed forward like wolves and tigers and dragged Meng Jie out.

The scene of beheading Meng Jie shocked all the generals in the tent. They all opened their eyes wide with looks of astonishment on their faces, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

Liu Bei's tyranny was totally beyond their expectations.
"Your Majesty, the Hu Yi should be beheaded, so let's kill Meng Jie."

"But how are we going to break into Gucheng?"

Zhao Yun asked, bowing.

Liu Bei turned his gaze and looked at Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang held his head high and said proudly:

"With an army of more than 100,000, it is easy for us to destroy a small valley city."

"Tomorrow the army will launch a fierce attack and raze Gucheng to the ground!"

This was exactly what Liu Bei wanted.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up and said sternly:
"Pass on my order. Tomorrow the entire army will attack together and raze Gucheng to the ground!"

When the generals heard this, their blood boiled.

...

Gucheng, on top of the city wall.

Meng Huo paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, his face full of anxiety and beads of sweat on his forehead.

The barbarians were also in a panic, with fear and confusion in their eyes, like a group of lambs that had lost their way.

They were all anxiously awaiting the results.

Waiting for the result of Meng Jie's mission, waiting for the final result that will determine their fate.

"Just surrender to Liu Bei. Even though it's a bit humiliating, at least you can save your life..."

Meng Huo kept comforting himself in his heart, trying to calm himself down.

At this moment, someone on the top of the city suddenly shouted:
"Captain Meng's horse is Captain Meng's horse!"

When everyone heard the shout, they were cheered up and looked up.

really.

I saw a horse galloping towards Gucheng like lightning, raising a cloud of dust behind him.

When Meng Huo saw this scene, hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

All the barbarians also saw hope.

Suddenly, a burst of excited shouts broke out from the top of the city.

As the man on horseback got closer, Meng Huo's expression became suspicious.

Because Meng Jie on the horse did not stand up, but remained leaning on the horse's back.

"Quickly lower the drawbridge and open the city gate!"

Meng Huo shouted anxiously, with a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Having said that, Meng Huo didn't care about anything else and ran down the city wall in a few steps, ready to greet his good brother.

The city gate creaked open slowly, and the drawbridge was lowered.

The man riding the fast horse walked into Gucheng with heavy steps.

Meng Huo was already there, his face full of anticipation.

The man riding a fast horse passed through the doorway and finally appeared in front of Meng Huo.

At this moment, Meng Huo froze there as if he had been cast under a spell.

Not only Meng Huo, but all the barbarians seemed to be fixed by an invisible force.

Everyone's face was filled with horror.

Because the body lying on the horse's back had no head!
And Meng Jie's head was hung high on the horse's neck! (End of this chapter)
