Chapter 251 Life is like a cauldron of food, death is like a cauldron of food

"Since you want to live, I will give you a chance to live."

Prince Jing'an Zhao Heng looked at Pei Nanwei with a gloomy gaze, which made Pei Nanwei feel cold all over.

"Xun'er, go to Jizhou again and tell Xu Chunlin that I have given away even my beloved things. Now that I have the rabbit, it's time to release the eagle."

"He must understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold, so he shouldn't do anything too ugly."

Zhao Xun just nodded, lowered his head, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Jizhou Beiliang Camp.

Xu Chunlin looked at the white jade-like person and couldn't help but marvel at the fact that Prince Jing'an Zhao Heng actually sent Princess Jing'an over.

Xu Chunlin grabbed a handful of that plumpness and found it felt really good.

Zhao Xun suppressed his anger, and watched the woman he once coveted being touched by Xu Chunlin so freely. He couldn't help but feel murderous, but he had to hide it and recite Zhao Heng's words one by one.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold?"

Xu Chunlin just felt amused in his heart, but pretended to listen, nodded, and said to Zhao Xun: "Brother Zhao Shi, please go back first. I will gather the troops and lift the siege of Xiangfan immediately."

"Then I wonder when we can get there? The walls of Xiangfan have been breached by the Yellow Turban rebels. We can only rely on street fighting to delay time. The troops are in a hurry. I hope that Prince Beiliang will send troops quickly."

Zhao Xun's eyes were red, and he asked as if he wanted to eat Xu Chunlin.

Xu Chunlin frowned slightly: "I told you to gather the troops and generals!"

"Then I'll wait!!!"

Hearing this, Xu Chunlin snorted coldly: "The deployment of our Beiliang troops is a top secret in the army. How can others spy on it?"

"Someone, please ask Prince Zhao to leave."

"Xu Chunlin, you are a villain, you don't keep your word..."

Zhao Xun was captured by two personal soldiers and was about to be dragged out of the tent.

"Wait, he is of royal blood after all, how can you drag him away? Carry him out!"

"Yes!!!" ×2
Without Zhao Xun's dog barking, the military tent became much quieter. Xu Chunlin scratched his ears and looked towards the direction of Xiangfan City.

"When this dog gets anxious, it will jump over the wall!"

"But the wall is high and the courtyard is deep. Can the dog jump out?"

Zhao Xun returned to Prince Jing'an's Palace with a frustrated look on his face, and what was waiting for him was Zhao Heng's wrath.

Zhao Heng pulled out the jade belt from his waist and whipped it fiercely. Finally, he threw the jade belt away tiredly and said:
"You have been ruthless since you were a child, and you are also smart, but you lack some sophistication. As a mere woman, as long as she reaches that position, what kind of people will she not have?"

"Yes...I am shallow."

Zhao Xun endured the pain, climbed up from the ground, knelt in front of Zhao Heng and kowtowed.

Zhao Heng sighed, "It's hard to defend Xiangfan. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others. Let's go to the Qingzhou navy on the river bank."

Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment: "Should we issue an order for the soldiers in the city to retreat together?"

He was not overly sympathetic. After all, they were his subordinates from Qingzhou. The soldiers he could take away would be the capital for him to make a comeback in the future, so he asked this question.

"Humph!"

"Without them, who will cover us father and son?" Zhao Heng said coldly.

Zhao Heng is not only cruel to others, but also to his own people. He seems to be kind and compassionate, but in fact he is extremely vicious and cruel.

But this father and son overlooked one thing: Can the Qingzhou navy really be trusted?
When the guards escorted Prince Jing'an and his son to the port, they did not see a single Yellow Dragon ship. Instead, there were only countless corpses on the river surface, indicating that a great battle had taken place here. "Where is Zhou Yu?"

"Where is his Qingzhou navy? Why is it gone?"

Zhao Xun looked at the river like a madman.

Zhao Heng clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed with anger, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Idiot, this Zhou Yu must have escaped a long time ago!"

"Impossible, impossible. I was the one who promoted him. I was very kind to him. I also gave him a beautiful wife, countless gold, silver and jewelry. But why did he betray me!!!" Zhao Xun roared in disbelief.

"Let's go and break out in other directions!" Zhao Heng, a rare talent, made a prompt decision.

But the opportunity was fleeting. At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army, led by the Yellow Turban strongmen, overturned and completely defeated the Qingzhou Army in the street fighting. More than one million Yellow Turban Army surrounded the city of Xiangfan.

Zhao Heng and his son Zhao Xun were like turtles trapped in a jar, unable to escape even if they had wings.

After Zhou Yu killed King Jing'an's trusted generals, the Qingzhou navy had already arrived in Jizhou and came under the command of Xu Chunlin.

late at night.

At this time, Xu Chunlin was admiring the exquisite curves of the jade-like beauty. Every inch of her skin texture showed no trace of time, but instead, it had matured with the passage of time.

"You're not going to send troops?"

Pei Nanwei asked, trying to suppress the discomfort caused by Xu Chunlin's fiery gaze.

"Haha, send troops?"

"Of course I will send troops, but not at this moment."

Xu Chunlin stood by the river, gazing at the flames rising into the sky and the billowing black smoke from Xiangfan City, and listening to the wailing sounds drifting in the wind. He gently hugged Pei Nanwei from behind, curled a strand of her hair with his fingers, and teased her face.

The firelight cast a blush on Pei Nanwei's face.

Xu Chunlin smiled and said, "Such a beautiful scene and a night of spring is worth a thousand gold coins. Why should we care about those trivial matters?"

"If you really want to send troops, you have to wait until I'm done with my work!"

Xu Chunlin picked up Pei Nanwei by the waist and threw him on the bed.

Two days later, the prince walked out, leaning against the wall.

Xu Chunlin's legs trembled, his eyes darkened as he said, "The best in the Spring and Autumn Period, the reputation is well-deserved!"

One day later, the Yellow Turban Army withdrew from Xiangfan, and brought a number of refugees with them. The Northern Liang Cavalry then belatedly took over the city of Xiangfan, pacified the people, and provided relief to the victims.

Xu Chunlin rode on the black unicorn, ignoring the still burning smoke, and walked slowly from the city gate to Prince Jing'an's Palace.

The original Jing'an Prince's Palace had been burned to the ground, leaving only a large cauldron. According to the people in the city, the Jing'an Prince and his son were captured by the invading Yellow Turban Army, and were cooked to death in the large cauldron and boiled into Fu Lu Meat.

Its ending is also very sad!

Xu Chunlin took a look at the two skeletons that had been so shaved that even dogs would shake their heads at the sight of them, and without any intention of insulting them, he burned them and buried them in the ground.

After Qingzhou fell into the hands of Xu Chunlin, the southeast gate was wide open. The south became the old land of Western Shu, and the east became the old land of Western Chu. At this point, the situation in the northwest was formed.

Interestingly, during the period of taking control of Xiangfan, a woman named Li Xiaoru performed a dance in the military tent and was noticed by Xu Chunlin, who took advantage of her and played the white jade lion rolling ball game with her.

Xu Chunlin played with the ruler and cut it by four points, and waited for someone to take the bait, as he wrapped his slender jade feet around Qingyun's.

The man ate the bait himself, but it is still unclear who the fisherman was.
