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

Narayana gritted his teeth and fought with all his might, wielding his sword to defend himself, but inwardly he was groaning in despair.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.

Zhuge Dan fought with increasing ferocity, his swordsmanship sharp and each strike carrying the force of an overwhelming tide.

Narayana gradually lost his strength and could only barely hold on, his heart filled with despair.

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, the Han cavalry swept away the Yuezhi people like autumn leaves in the wind, scattering them in all directions.

Huo Du spurred the Han cavalry, who charged down the mountain like tigers, crushing the enemy forces. Wherever they went, the Yuezhi soldiers fled in disarray.

"Damn it, how did these Han soldiers appear?"

Looking at the collapsing army, Zhang Ji was filled with doubt and uncertainty, his face showing fear and unease.

He couldn't understand why the Han army, which was originally blocked at Yumen Pass, would suddenly appear here and attack their supply lines.

Huo Du charged forward like a raging storm, galloping on his horse with overwhelming force.

The silver spear he gripped tightly gleamed with a chilling light, like a ferocious beast about to pounce on its prey.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ji was instantly enraged. His eyes widened, and he roared:
"With Zhang Ji here, how dare you, a madman, act so arrogantly and recklessly!"

Having said that, he gripped the heavy longsword tightly with both hands and charged towards Huo Du, as if he wanted to cut Huo Du down with one blow.

As he charged forward, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "You scoundrel, today I will kill you to vent my hatred!"

Huo Du showed no fear and rode his horse to meet Zhang Ji, his eyes revealing determination.

In an instant, the two riders collided violently like two shooting stars, and the dust kicked up by their hooves filled the air.

Huo Du flicked his wrist, and the silver spear shot out like lightning. The move was so fast that no one had time to react.

Zhang Ji felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and inwardly cried out in alarm, his expression changing drastically.

"This guy's moves are incredibly fast?"

It was already too late.

Before he could even raise his long sword to defend or counterattack, Huo Du had already appeared before him like a ghost.

"puff!"

A dull thud was heard as Huo Du's silver spear struck Zhang Ji squarely in the chest.

The sharp spear tip pierced through Zhang Ji's clothes and flesh in an instant, creating a hole in his heart.

Zhang Ji felt a sharp pain, his vision went black, and his body uncontrollably fell off the horse, crashing heavily to the ground.

Huo Du looked at Zhang Ji, who was lying on the ground barely alive, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He said disdainfully:
"Cao Cao's men are nothing but this; they're utterly pathetic!"

Having said that, he didn't even glance at Zhang Ji, but stepped over Zhang Ji's corpse and continued to wield his silver spear, charging towards the Qin soldiers protecting the grain.

Under his fierce attack, the Qin soldiers guarding the grain fell one after another and were quickly wiped out.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, the battle between Zhuge Dan and Narayana was also nearing its end.

Under Zhuge Dan's fierce offensive, Naluoyan was gradually suppressed, revealing numerous flaws and ending up in a sorry state.

He secretly groaned in his heart:
"No, if we continue fighting like this, I'll surely die here today!"

The Empress is waiting for me to help her achieve her great cause; I cannot die here. I must leave immediately!

Thinking of this, Luo Yan gritted his teeth, mustered all his strength to launch a powerful attack, then turned his horse around, preparing to flee in panic.

Zhuge Dan had already seen through his intention to flee.

He deliberately created an opening, pretending to be forced back by Luo Yan. Just as Luo Yan turned to escape, he swiftly slashed with his long sword like a spinning lightning bolt.

"puff!"

Another chilling sound rang out as Zhuge Dan's powerful strike severed Luo Yan in two at the waist.

The Yuezhi general screamed and fell off his horse.

His body, severed in two, writhed in agony on the ground, blood gushing out and staining the surrounding earth red.

But he was not dead yet, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Zhuge Dan, mounted on his horse, looked down at Luo Yan with a mocking smile, and said coldly:

"You Yuezhi dogs, you dare to dream of fighting my Prime Minister Xiao? You are simply overestimating yourselves!" With that, he swung his long sword down again with fierce determination.

"Do not kill me……"

Narayana used his last bit of strength to plead desperately, his eyes filled with supplication.

But Zhuge Dan's long sword did not stop, and continued to slash mercilessly.

"Crack!"

After a crisp sound, Luo Yan's head was completely separated from his body, and one of his heads rolled to the ground, with a look of terror still remaining on his face.

Another Yuezhi general met his end.

By this time, the grain transport troops had been decimated and scattered in all directions, and the chariots originally used for transporting grain had been abandoned on the battlefield.

Huo Du rode up to Zhuge Dan's side and asked:

"General Zhuge, we have won this battle. What should we do now?"

Zhuge Dan gave a cold laugh, a ruthless glint in his eyes:
"Naturally, we should burn the Yuezhi people's chariots so they can no longer transport supplies!"

Huo Du accepted the order and shouted:

"Set it on fire immediately and burn the Yuezhi people's chariots!"

The Han cavalrymen lit torches and threw them at the chariots.

Before long, all the vehicles were set ablaze, and raging flames shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Gobi Desert as if it were daytime.

Zhuge Dan looked at the towering flames and sneered again:
"Without the divine chariot, let's see how the Yuezhi people will transport grain."

Huo Du sneered in agreement, and then the two rode away slowly, leaving behind only a sea of ​​fire and a mess.

...

Yumen Pass.

The Han Dynasty and the Yuezhi Kingdom have been locked in a standoff for nearly a month.

The atmosphere inside the mansion was oppressive and heavy.

Empress Vinu sat in the main seat, her face filled with a deep sense of confusion.

A month has passed since Xiao Fang's army approached Yumen Pass.

During this period, Xiao Fang did not launch an attack on Yumen Pass even once, which she found very strange.

Judging from all indications, the Han prime minister seems to intend to wage a protracted war against them.

"Strange."

Empress Vinu frowned and muttered to herself:
"Xiao Fang should know that we have the Divine Speed ​​Chariot and are not afraid of a protracted war."

Logically, he should have acted swiftly and decisively, so why didn't he attack even once?

As she spoke, she looked at Cao Rui with a puzzled expression, her eyes full of doubt.

Cao Rui sneered, feigning composure, and said:
"Your Majesty, do not worry. Xiao Fang has no other choice but to confront us."

He's just bluffing.

After hearing Cao Rui's words, Empress Pinu's doubts lessened somewhat.

Sima Yi, however, frowned and looked worried.

"Mr. Sima, what do you think?"

Empress Pinu noticed Sima Yi's expression and asked a question.

Sima Yi suddenly stood up, quickly jumped to the map, and examined it carefully.

His eyes were focused and sharp, as if he wanted to see through every detail on the map.

Suddenly, his expression changed, becoming extremely serious, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!" (End of Chapter)
