"What did you say? Say it again!？”
Liu Qi grabbed his guard and roared.
"General Huang led the Changsha army to defect to that Cao thief. Now, the army is in chaos. Everyone says that even Huang Zhong has surrendered.”
The guard shouted in fear.
Liu Qi's body swayed, and he stumbled back a few steps before falling to the ground.
"Why?"
"First, there was Wen Pin who betrayed my Liu family and was captured.”
"Now, why did Huang Zhong take the initiative to surrender to that thief Cao?”
Liu Qi muttered to himself. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he panicked.
"Crack!"
Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and blood seeped out of his fingers.
"I clearly asked Huang Zhong to feign surrender to Cao Cao, so why did he really surrender?”
"That thug, what method did he use to make Huang Zhong defect overnight?”
Zhuge Liang racked his brains. Even though he was extremely intelligent, he was still puzzled.
"Kong Ming, that old thief Huang Zhong has defected. What should we do?”
Liu Qi suddenly woke up and asked him for help.
Zhuge Liang said to himself," Since things have come to this, we can't defend Fancheng no matter what. We can only retreat to the south bank of the Han River before the Cao rebels attack."”
Liu Qi gritted his teeth.
It was not easy to fight for military power from Liu Biao. Now that he had lost his soldiers and generals, lost Fancheng, and fled back to the south bank in a sorry state, how could he have the face to explain to Liu Biao?
"As long as there's life, there's hope. Now is not the time to act on impulse.”
Zhuge Liang advised.
Liu Qi suddenly became alert and shouted,"Order the entire army to abandon the city and head to the ferry. Retreat to the south bank of the Han River."”
Zhuge Liang heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he said,""Fan City has a large number of rations and military supplies. We can't let them fall into the hands of Cao Cao. Before we leave, burn them.”
"Burn it?"
"Wouldn't this fire burn down the houses? Who knows how many people will be burned to death?”
Liu Qi had some concerns.
"Liang is only suggesting. Young Master will weigh the pros and cons.”
Zhuge Liang did not try to dissuade him, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Fine!"
Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said hatefully,"Even if we have to sacrifice some civilians, we must not let Cao Cao get our rations and military supplies."”
Liu Qi ordered his men to escort Zhuge Liang across the river.
Liu Qi himself cleaned up the remaining troops and rushed to the ferry while urging the soldiers to burn Fan City.
…
Cao Camp.
The five thousand soldiers of Changsha entered the camp in an orderly manner to be reorganized.
"Father, Father ~~"
Huang Xu, who was looking up at Huang Zhong, cried tears of joy when he saw Huang Zhong's figure and ran forward.
"Xu 'er!"
Huang Zhong's eyes were filled with joy as he jumped off his horse.
Father and son reunited, hugging each other and crying.
"Xu 'er, let me take a look. Have you really recovered?”
Huang Zhong calmed his emotions and sized up his beloved son.
"General Pingnan's medical skills are like Bian Que's rebirth. A divine pill cured my illness. I can finally be filial to my father!”
Huang Xu's eyes were filled with tears as he turned around to look at Cao Lie. His eyes were filled with gratitude.
Huang Zhong sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes filled with shock.
Seeing was believing, his remaining doubts instantly disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, he walked up to Cao Lie and stared at him for a moment before bowing.
"General, you saved my beloved son. I have no way to repay you. I'm willing to go through fire and water for you!”
The tiger of Changsha finally surrendered wholeheartedly.
Cao Lie laughed and helped him up.
"Huang Hansheng, you have the courage of a thousand men. It's a waste for you to stay in a corner of Jingzhou and work for Liu Biao, that self-guarding thief.”
"Believe me, surrender to me, Cao Lie. Sooner or later, I'll let your prestige shake the world and your name spread through the ages!”
Cao Lie patted Huang Zhong's shoulder and made a promise.
Huang Zhong's body trembled, and tears that he had not seen for a long time were stirred up. It was as if he had instantly become decades younger.
An old man in the stable, with ambition for thousands of miles!
Although Huang Zhong was old, he was also ambitious.
However, he was in Jingzhou and his lord was Liu Biao. Even if he had ambition, what could he do?
Now, he finally saw the hope of realizing his ambition.
"I only regret that I didn't surrender to you sooner!”
Huang Zhong cupped his hands and sighed.
Cao Lie laughed.
"What method did this young master Zizhao use to actually cure Huang Zhong's son?”
"Could it be that this young master of the Cao family is also proficient in medicine?”
"Peerless martial arts, superb intelligence, and even proficient in medicine. How can there be such an all-rounder in this world?”
Man Chong, Cheng Yu, and the other strategists looked at each other.
At this moment.
Yu Jin pointed at Fan City.”
Cao Lie turned around.
In the sky above Fan City, as expected, several flames rose and soared into the sky.
"General, Liu Qi must have heard that General Huang has surrendered and no longer dared to guard Fan City. He must have burned the military supplies and abandoned the city to escape!”
Jia Xu pointed it out.
"Hmph, you all call me cruel. Who knows how many of your own people will be burned to death with this fire of yours. You are much more cruel than me.”
Cao Lie sneered sarcastically.
"Ding! Tyrant Quest triggered: Hang Liu Qi to death. Success reward unknown. Failure without penalty!”
Cao Lie's cold smile disappeared, and his eyes were filled with ferocity.
"Black Armored Cavalry, follow me to the ferry and intercept Liu Qi.”
"The rest of the troops, attack the city immediately!"
"At dawn, I was going to drink the Han River!”
Orders were issued one after another.
The camp gates opened and Cao Lie led his cavalry out, heading straight for the ferry.
Tens of thousands of Cao troops pounced at Fan City with heaven-shaking killing cries.
when the east is white.
Cao Lie led his army around Fancheng, and the outline of the ferry could be seen clearly.
In his field of vision, countless Jing State soldiers were escaping from Fan City in a sorry state. They were scrambling to board the ship and escape to the south bank.
"Kill them!"
Cao Lie let out a murderous roar and shot toward the enemy like a bolt of golden lightning.
He raised his spear and struck down. The terrified Jing State army was like ants being harvested.
The Black Armored Cavalry rolled in and crushed the Jing State Army that had lost their fighting spirit.
Cao Lie was unstoppable as he charged into the water camp at the ferry.
"It's that thief Cao! Stop that dog thief!”
Liu Qi, who was at the dock, was terrified and shouted hoarsely.
He whipped his horse and rushed onto the bridge, wanting to board the ship.
However, the bridge was crowded with countless Jing State soldiers, so much so that even water could not flow through. He could not board the ship at all.
"Kakaka!"
Cao Lie tore apart the Jingzhou soldiers who were blocking him and rushed up the bridge like a god of death, knocking the enemy soldiers along the way into the water.
In an instant.
Like a golden tower, he stood in front of Liu Qi.
"Where are you running to!"
Cao Lie let out a furious roar and thrust his spear forward.
Liu Qi was so shocked that he was scared out of his wits. Without thinking much, he instinctively raised his spear to block.
Before he could raise his spear, Cao Lie's spear pierced through Liu Qi's shoulder like lightning.
He gently flicked it.
"Ah ~~"
Liu Qi let out a heart-wrenching scream as Cao Lie easily lifted his huge body into the air.
