In Nan Chang City.
The tragic scene was beyond description.
The fire burned the city, and the houses turned into rubble.
The soldiers and civilians trembled under the might of the Hui Hui Cannon, hiding in the corners to avoid the heat waves.
"Governor."
"Surrender."
The general guarding the city said in horror.
"Surrender."
"The Red Cliff Army is too strong."
The soldiers and commoners around him were all begging for mercy.
In just three rounds of attacks, the city had been reduced to ruins. If the Red Cliff Army continued to attack, the entire city would be reduced to ruins.
"I'm the descendant of a general, how can I surrender to a traitor?" Zhu Hao said ferociously.”
"Clang."
One of the generals drew his sword and placed it on Zhu Hao's neck. He said ferociously,""Governor, you are the descendant of a general and have your own pride, but you can't use our lives to test your loyalty!”
"Not bad."
The soldiers and the people all shouted.
Zhu Hao is the prefect, is a scholar.
In order to defend their own glory, they had to use the lives of the people to dye it with blood. They were not worthy of being protected by soldiers like them.
Defeat.
This was an unstoppable trend.
The Red Cliff Army already had the power to break through the city, so why would they fight a bloody battle?
If it was to protect their homeland, they would rather die than surrender. But now, they were fighting for Zhu Hao, for the Liu Clan that oppressed the people of Yuzhang.
It was not worth it, not worth it at all!
"You guys?"
Zhu Hao felt the coldness of the sword tip, and his entire person felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Open the city."
"Welcome the Red Cliff Army into the city."
The general pressed down on Zhu Hao and roared.
"Here."
The soldiers around him responded.
Not too long later.
The army shouted.
The huge, heavy city gate was opened.
Gan Ning, Liao Hua, and Zhao Yi all looked over.
Zhu Hao was taken into custody, and the city guards also came out of the city to get into formation.
"How terrifying!"
Gan Ning's scalp went numb.
Now, he finally understood what Wang Xiong meant.
As long as Zhu Hao dared to bring the Liu Clan into the city, then this giant city would fall without any attack.
"General."
"We surrender."
The general pressed Zhu Hao forward and shouted.
Wang Xiong rode his horse and said with a sharp gaze,"Yuanjian, lead a battalion of soldiers to collect the weapons and armor of the surrendered soldiers.”
"Here."
Liao Hua bowed and shouted.
Wang Xiong's gaze landed on Zhu Hao and said indifferently: "Xing Ba, Zhao Yi, the two of you lead the troops and follow me into the city. Collect the weapons in the city. If the Red Cliff Army soldiers harass the people for no reason, they will be punished according to military law!”
"Here."
Gan Ning and Zhao Yi shouted.
The army entered the city.
Smoke filled the air on both sides.
Wang Xiong rode forward alone.
Countless commoners looked up curiously, allowing even more people to see the face of this Red Cliff Army commander.
Not too long later.
In the main hall of the prefect's mansion.
Wang Xiong sat on the main seat, and Zhu Hao was the only one in the hall.
"Household registration."
"Grain tax records."
Wang Xiong flipped through the bamboo slips on the table and said lightly,"Zhu Hao, also known as Wenming, is from Shangyu, Kuaiji, right?”
"Not bad."
Zhu Hao said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"You think I'm a traitor?" Wang Xiong closed the bamboo slip and smiled.”
"Isn't it?"
Zhu Hao's eyes were filled with shame and anger.
It was a great humiliation to be captured and surrendered by his subordinates.
If this news were to spread back to Chang 'an, his father, who was a noble minister, would be ashamed.
"Traitor."
"Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, who are these people?"”
"Rebel."
Zhu Hao said.
"Haha."
Wang Xiong mocked," Back then, the Road of Peace caused chaos in the eight prefectures. Your father advised the emperor and asked the powerful people of the prefectures to recruit soldiers to fight. He raised countless warlords and powerful people. They bullied the people and plundered the land. Your father was a traitor!”
"I…!"
Zhu Hao's eyes instantly dimmed.
Wang Xiong leaned on the large chair and said lightly,"Yuan Shao gave Dong Zhuo advice and led him into the court to attack the Ten Attendants of the Supreme Court, but in the end, it created the current situation of the dukes.”
"It's different."
Zhu Hao firmly shook his head.
"Forget it."
Wang Xiong sipped his tea and said indifferently," No matter how much I say, you won't think that the Han royal family is wrong. Foolish people only believe in what they see!”
"Are you going to kill me?" Zhu Hao sneered.”
"I won't."
Wang Xiong's gaze was mocking," You lost, not because of the military, but because of the people. In fact, as long as you hold on for a few days, Liu Yao or Liu Pan who is stationed in Changsha will send troops to rescue you. Keeping you alive is more useful than killing you!”
"Perhaps."
Zhu Hao's aura was completely gone.
The county fell.
The Red Cliff Army took down a giant city.
In less than three days, the news spread throughout Yuzhang County.
The people of Haihun celebrated as if it was the new year.
At the same time, the news spread to the Red Cliff camp on Mount Tianyue, causing Huang Qi, the people, and the students to be excited.
They had a premonition that the day of coming out of the mountains to serve the people was coming.
