Chapter 131: Surrendering to the grandson is like seeking death! The great trick is activated! My destiny is upon me? Kill, kill, kill, leave no one alive!

"Kuai Yidu, are you crazy?"

"Mr. Chengzong has a grudge against Sun Ce for killing his father. If you ask the young general to surrender to Sun Ce, aren't you sending him to his death?"

"If we have to surrender, we should surrender to Liu Xuande, not Sun Ce!"

Su Fei was the first to jump out and opposed Kuai Yue's proposal on the spot, and took the opportunity to advocate surrender to Liu Bei.

Huang She's face was also full of surprise and doubt, and he looked at Kuai Yue blankly. Obviously, he did not expect that Kuai Yue would make such a "ridiculous" suggestion.

Isn't this just asking yourself to die?
"It was General Chengzong who killed Sun Jian. Now that General Chengzong is dead, the old feud with the Sun family can be considered a done deal."

"I think Sun Bofu is a man of great talent and vision, and he is respectful to the wise and humble. He truly has the demeanor of a great leader."

"If you, Zirui, are willing to surrender Xiakou, I believe that Sun Bofu will definitely let bygones be bygones with his magnanimity."

"What's more, the Sun family has coveted Jingzhou for a long time, but has been unable to make a breakthrough. Zirui's surrender is like a timely help to Sun Bofu, and it is an unparalleled achievement."

"Such a great achievement, plus Sun Bofu wants to show his support for the heroes of Jingzhou, so he will definitely reward you, Zirui, and treat you very well!"

Kuai Yue analyzed the good news for Huang She eloquently. Huang She's suspicion gradually faded away and his eyes brightened slightly, as if he was moved.

Changing the subject, Kuai Yue said:
"As for surrendering to Liu Bei, Zirui, think about it. We have just suffered a great defeat. If we surrender to Liu Bei now, we will be forced to surrender because we have nowhere else to go."

"If you surrender to Liu Bei, you can only save your life at most, but you can never expect Liu Bei to use you. Your Huang family will no longer be as prosperous as it once was."

"Zi Rui, are you really willing to live under Liu Bei's protection, save your life, and live the rest of your life in obscurity?"

Huang She's heart suddenly shook.

To survive, to remain unknown, to spend the rest of my life in leisure...

The words chosen by Kuai Yue were extremely inflammatory and instantly painted a sad picture of Huang She's lingering survival.

Huang She frowned, clenched his fists, and showed unwillingness in his eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes became hesitant again.

Because he remembered that before he returned to Xiakou, he pointed to the Yangtze River as an oath to Liu Bei, persuading Huang Zu to surrender.

But now he has turned to Sun Ce and continues to be the enemy of Liu Bei. Isn't this a breach of his oath?

"Zi Rui, the enemy of one's father is irreconcilable!"

"Your father died at the hands of Gan Ning, that is, at the hands of Liu Bei."

"Before he died, he left a will asking you to avenge him!"

"If you surrender to Liu Bei, how can you face your father's spirit in heaven? And how can you face the people's gossip?"

"If you surrender to Liu Bei, won't you be regarded by the world as a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust person, and be despised by all eternity?"

Kuai Yue's tone suddenly became stern, and he hit Huang She on the head with one stick after another, making his head buzzing.

"That's right, before my father died, he did pull me to avenge him!"

"If I surrender to Liu Bei, wouldn't I be considered an unfilial person and be despised by the world?"

"Besides, if I surrender at the end of my rope, Liu Bei will definitely not use me. Am I really going to live the rest of my life in obscurity?"

Huang She's thoughts were churning as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and his fists gradually clenched.

When Kuai Yue saw him like this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, knowing that his words were not in vain and that he had convinced Huang She.

"Major General, don't let him deceive you or you'll kill yourself!"

Su Fei stepped forward, pointed at Kuai Yue and said sternly:
"Liu Xuande wanted to wipe out his Kuai clan, so he naturally didn't dare to surrender to Liu Xuande. The only way he could survive was to surrender to Sun Ce."

"He persuaded you, Young General, to surrender to Sun Ce, which is equivalent to a great achievement. If Sun Ce seizes Jingzhou in the future, his Kuai family can still use Sun Ce's power to revive."

"General Chengzong and Sun Ce have a grudge against each other for killing their father. Even if he is now dead, who can guarantee that Sun Ce will not be angry with you, the young general, and the Huang family?"

"After all, Sun Ce was a tyrant and bloodthirsty man. When he attacked Kuaiji, he even killed the envoys."

"Young General, do you really dare to risk the annihilation of your entire family and surrender to a violent and bloodthirsty person like Sun Ce?"

Huang She's body shuddered, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. He was suddenly awakened by Su Fei.

"Ziyi's words make sense. Your Kuai family can surrender to Sun Ce, but my Huang family has a blood feud with Sun Ce. If I surrender to Sun Ce, the risk is too great..."

Huang She's original determination has now turned into indecision.

Kuai Yue rolled his eyes and then said seriously:
"General Su is wrong. I persuaded Zirui to surrender to Sun Bofu with the intention of preserving my Kuai family, but I also wanted to find a way out for Zirui and the Huang family because of my long-term friendship with Chengzong."

"If Zirui still has concerns, he can send his confidant to see Sun Bofu immediately, tell him that he intends to surrender, and ask him to swear by the Yangtze River that he will never settle accounts with the Huang family."

"If Sun Bofu dares to make such a solemn oath, it won't be too late for you, Zirui, to surrender to him."

Kuai Yue had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and came up with another plan.

Huang She thought for a long time and took a deep breath:

"Just as you said, Kuai Yidu, I will send someone to meet Sun Ce right now to see his attitude and then decide whether to surrender to him!"

Kuai Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Fei became anxious and wanted to persuade him again.

Huang She interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said sternly:
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. You have all heard my father's last words. If I surrender to Liu Bei, wouldn't I be considered an unfilial person and despised by the world?"

"If the little tyrant of Jiangdong can truly forgive us and treat me well, why not surrender to him and help him take over Jingzhou?"

Su Fei was retorted and could only shake his head and sigh, without saying anything else.

Huang She immediately sent his trusted confidant Zhang Shuo to leave Xiakou and head east to meet Sun Ce day and night.

…At Xisai Mountain, the Jiangxia army abandoned their camp.

The Jiangxia soldiers who stayed behind here, upon hearing the news of the tragic defeat of the Huang father and son, were so frightened that they abandoned the camp and fled to Xiakou.

Sun Ce led the Jiangdong army and arrived, and captured the camp without bloodshed.

The Iron Chain Across the River Formation that had blocked him for about a month was now broken.

Sun Ce did not dare to delay for a moment. He ordered his soldiers to rest for a while and then continued to advance westward and attack Xiakou directly.

When they were about to set off, they met an envoy from Xiakou.

Inside the Chinese military tent.

"General Chengzong of my family was wounded by Gan Ning's arrow and has died. Everyone in Jiangxia is filled with grief and indignation."

"Our young general vowed to avenge General Chengzong and fight Liu Bei to the death, but we are alone and weak and cannot do anything on our own."

"So the Major General specially ordered me to come here to express my intention to submit to General Bofu."

"If General Bofu can put aside the past grudges, my young general is willing to lead all the soldiers in Jiangxia, surrender the city to General Bofu, and go through fire and water for General Bofu to take Jingzhou in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Shuo half-knelt on the ground and expressed Huang She's intention to surrender to Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce heard this, he suddenly became excited, and an extremely complicated look flashed in his eyes.

There are both regrets and surprises.

What was surprising was that Huang She was willing to surrender the city. Wouldn't it be possible for him to take Xiakou without a fight?

This is equivalent to snatching the big piece of fat meat of Jiangxia from Liu Bei's mouth.

With Jiangxia as a foothold, the battle to seize Jingzhou is equivalent to taking the initiative.

How could I not be extremely surprised!
But unfortunately, Huang Zu had been killed by Gan Ning, and he lost the opportunity to kill Huang Zu with his own hands and avenge his father Sun Jian.

"Bofu, this Huangshe is coming, this is a godsend opportunity!"

"It seems that God wants to give Jingzhou to you, Bofu!"

Seeing that Sun Ce seemed to be still hesitating, Zhou Yu, who was standing by, suppressed his excitement and reminded him in a low voice.

Sun Ce came back to his senses and laughed:

"Huang Zirui's return is truly a gift from heaven to my Sun Ce, a powerful general!"

"Go and tell Huang Zirui to hold on to Xiakou until I arrive with my army."

"When I capture Jingzhou, he will be the chief contributor, and I, Sun Ce, will not treat him unfairly!"

Zhang Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly delighted.

Just as he was about to thank him and leave, he remembered Huang She's instructions, and he coughed and bowed:

"My young general has admired General Bofu for a long time. It is a great honor to serve such a great leader as General Bofu."

"It's just that our General Chengzong and General Bofu had some, ahem..."

Zhang Shuo didn't dare to speak frankly.

Sun Ce immediately understood that Huang She was worried about Huang Zu's murder of his father Sun Jian, and was afraid that Huang Zu would bear a grudge and pin the crime on him.

"Go back and tell Huang Zirui that I, Sun Ce, have long forgotten the grudges of the previous generation."

"I, Sun Ce, swear by the Yangtze River that the grudge between the Huang family and my Sun family will be written off. To me, Huang Zirui is just a meritorious official of my Sun family."

"If I break my oath, I, Sun Ce, will die a miserable death!"

Without waiting for Zhang Shuo to invite him, Sun Ce took the initiative to make a solemn vow.

Zhang Shuo was overjoyed, and a huge stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"General Bofu's broad mind and generosity are truly unparalleled in the world. He is truly a wise leader!"

"I will return to Xiakou right away and deliver General Bofu's message. My Major General and I will defend Xiakou until General Bofu's army arrives!"

Zhang Shuo kowtowed repeatedly to Sun Ce before bidding farewell and leaving.

In order to show his importance to Huang She, Sun Ce personally sent the envoy Zhang Shuo to the riverside and watched him leave by boat.

"I thought we would miss Xiakou City, but now it is within our grasp!"

"Bofu, I was right. You are destined to succeed. Even the heavens are helping you!"

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce in ecstasy.

The words "God's will is in my hands" filled Sun Ce with pride and he laughed loudly:
"Pass the order down, the whole army will set out immediately, and march straight to Xiakou at night and night."

As soon as the order was given, thousands of warships and 40,000 Jiangdong troops immediately set sail westward.

Sun Ce also boarded the flagship, looked west, and wished he could fly to Xiakou City immediately.

"Bofu, are you really not going to settle the score with Huang She later?"

Zhou Yu beside him suddenly asked again.

Sun Ce snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Gongjin, you still don't understand me? The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. How can I write it off with just one stroke?"

"What I said just now, I was just deceiving that fool Huang She, just to cheat Xiakou City from him."

"As soon as the army enters Xiakou, I will immediately kill all of Huang Zu's family members, and even slaughter everyone in Xiakou to vent my hatred!"
