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

Just a few dozen steps away, Wen Hui watched helplessly as the Parthian army collapsed completely like a flood breaking its banks.

A profound and indescribable sorrow welled up in his heart, as if shrouded in a thick layer of gloom.

"Even the brave and skilled Parthians are no match for Xiao Fang, alas!"
What should we do about this situation?

Wen Hui let out a long, desperate sigh, his voice filled with helplessness and powerlessness.

At this moment, he felt as if he were in an endless abyss of darkness, with no glimmer of hope in sight.

Just then, countless Han soldiers, like a surging tide, swept in with overwhelming force.

Their battle cries were deafening, their footsteps thunderous, and their aura seemed to devour the entire world.

Wen Hui stared wide-eyed in horror, only one thought in his mind:
I can't die here! I have to escape!
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I will fight with all my might to seize it!

Without giving him a chance to think further, Wen Hui jerked the reins and galloped away like an arrow released from a bow.

Behind him, a group of Qin soldiers followed him in a panic, desperately fleeing in the chaos.

The city gate slowly opened, as if it were a crack leading to a way out.

Wen Hui led the Qin soldiers and fled like frightened birds.

He spurred his horse on desperately while rapidly searching his mind for a strategy to break through the encirclement.

He guessed that the Han army must be concentrating its forces on attacking the East Gate at this moment, so the defenses of the other gates must be somewhat relaxed.

If he could break through the west gate, he might find a chance to escape.

Just as Wen Hui was making his plans and a glimmer of hope was rising in his heart, an unexpected event suddenly occurred.

Suddenly, torches burst into flames directly ahead, their bright light illuminating the dark night sky and Wen Hui's terrified face.

Immediately afterwards, squads of Han soldiers appeared before him like ghosts.

A huge banner with the character "Zhang" fluttered in the night wind, its vibrant color like a burning flame, stinging Wen Hui's eyes.

Zhang Bao, the renowned Han general, stood guard over Wen Hui, sword drawn.

His gaze seemed to pierce through Wen Hui's soul, sending chills down his spine.

The Han army blocked the road!

Wen Hui felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to his head, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

The last glimmer of hope in his heart vanished instantly.

He finally realized that Xiao Fang had anticipated their breakout and had already deployed heavy troops outside each gate, just waiting for them to walk into the trap.

"Kill all the fleeing enemy soldiers!"

Zhang Bao roared, like an enraged lion.

He charged forward on his horse, his long sword flashing like lightning, leaving a trail of blood wherever it went.

The Han army behind them surged forward like a raging torrent, their battle cries shaking the heavens and earth.

"Am I, Wen Hui, really destined to die here?"

Wen Hui looked up at the sky and cried out in despair, his voice filled with hopelessness and resentment.

As time went by, the sky gradually brightened.

The deafening sounds of battle finally subsided.

Outside Baisha City, smoke filled the air and corpses littered the ground, resembling a living hell.

Xiao Fang, with his upright posture, slowly rode his horse into Baisha City.

Vinu and Ushas were like shadows, always by his side.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Xiao!"

Zhao Guang strode forward, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported:

"Our army has completely captured Baisha City, and all the garrison troops in the city have been annihilated!"

Then, Guan Xing, carrying a bloody human head, strode forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"Reporting to Prime Minister Xiao, this traitor was the enemy's Marshal Kanla, and I have already killed him!"

Having said that, he raised the head high.

Subsequently, the generals all stepped forward to claim credit.

Xiao Fang nodded in satisfaction and said loudly:

"Good! After we destroy Parthia, we will reward them all!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister Xiao!"

The ministers bowed in unison to express their gratitude, their voices as loud as a great bell.

Xiao Fang turned around, gently pulled Ushas into his arms, and said tenderly:
"Usaas, you've done a great job!"

"I will reward you handsomely." In this battle, if it weren't for Ushas's ingenious plan of using tunnels, he wouldn't have been able to capture White Sand City so quickly. It can be said that Ushas's contribution was indispensable.

"It is my good fortune to be able to do my best for Prime Minister Xiao."

Usaas curtsied.

Xiao Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will reward you handsomely."

Usa lowered her head, a shy blush rising on her face.

At this moment, Zhang Bao ascended the city tower, cupped his hands, and said:
"Reporting to Prime Minister Xiao, I have captured the traitorous general Wen Hui alive. Please decide his fate."

Wen Hui!

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Fang's eyes.

He said coldly, "Drag that traitor up here."

A moment later, Zhang Bao's personal guards, like wolves and tigers, dragged Wen Hui up to the city wall and threw him roughly in front of Xiao Fang.

Wen Hui lay sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Are you Wen Hui?"

Xiao Fang looked down at him, his voice as cold as frost.

Wen Hui said in a trembling voice, "That's right!"

Xiao Fang said sternly:
"Are you guilty?"

"I confess my guilt!"

Wen Hui immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy:

“I am willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty and help Prime Minister Xiao to quell Parthia.”

Please, Prime Minister Xiao, give me a chance.

Xiao Fang said in a deep voice, "From the day you followed Cao Rui and became my enemy, you were destined to die!"
Do you think I'll let you off?

Wen Hui was startled, and a hint of fear flashed across his face.

He finally realized that Xiao Fang didn't care about his surrender at all, and his hopes were completely shattered.

"Prime Minister Xiao, spare my life!"

Wen Hui cried out in despair:

"I was coerced by Sima Yi into following Cao Rui. I dare not betray the Central Plains. Please, Prime Minister Xiao, allow me to atone for my mistakes!"

Xiao Fang waved his hand and shouted, "Men, drag this scoundrel away and tear him apart with five horses!"

"promise!"

Upon receiving the order, the guards surged forward like a tide and dragged Wen Hui away.

Wen Hui cried out, "Prime Minister Xiao, spare my life! Please give me a chance..."

The mournful cries gradually faded into the distance, disappearing into the wind.

Xiao Fang stood on the city wall, coldly watching Wen Hui being dismembered, his eyes devoid of any pity.

Then he loudly gave the order:
"Pass down the order: tonight we will reward the soldiers and officers. We will drink until we're drunk!"

The soldiers were overjoyed and shouted excitedly.

Baisha City, the eastern gateway to the Parthian Empire, has now become a sea of ​​joy for the Han army, filled with laughter and merriment.

In Blue Moon City, thousands of miles away, a signing ceremony has just concluded.

Emperor Fritz, dressed in magnificent attire, solemnly signed a ceasefire agreement with the representatives of the Holy Roman Empire.

In exchange for this hard-won ceasefire, Fritz was willing to cede a western state.

"Once the ceasefire agreement is signed, the Shinra people will no longer invade our country."

Sima Yi stood beside Fritz, outlining a beautiful blueprint for him:
"With the threat to the western front gone, we can redeploy our troops there. Then the Heavenly Emperor can mobilize the entire nation's army to go to Baisha City."

With a coordinated attack from within and without, we will surely inflict heavy losses on the Han army!

Fritz nodded.

Sima Yi continued with a smile, "As long as we severely damage the Han army, we can recover the Yuezhi!"

Fritz became increasingly pleased with himself as he listened, just then Marshal Ajisha rushed into the hall in a panic.

"Great Heavenly Emperor, something has happened!"

Ajisha's voice trembled, and his face was as pale as paper:

"Urgent report from the east: The Han army has captured Baisha City, and our army has been completely annihilated by the Han army. Even Marshal Kanla is dead!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall. (End of Chapter)
