Chapter 179 Are you crazy? You even killed your brothers? It is right to practice benevolence and justice! Zhou Yu finally kneeled before Liu Bei!

Liu Bei!

Liu Bei actually sat in Dongying himself, waiting for him to come to him?

From what he said, it turned out that Xiao Fang predicted that he would abandon the east gate of the city, so he asked Liu Bei to intercept him personally?
His every move was within Xiao Fang's expectations.

This battle of wits ended with his failure!
"Why, why is this happening?"

"God is blind. Why can't I defeat that country bumpkin just once?"

"Oh, God, how can you be so mean to me, Zhou Yu——"

At this time, Zhou Yu was completely hopeless, sad and indignant, and he even looked up to the sky and asked sadly.

He asked sadly, but the Jiangdong soldiers behind him had already suffered a mental breakdown, and each of them was as terrified as a frightened bird.

The collapse begins.

Before Liu Bei gave the order to attack, more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers fled in all directions like frightened lambs.

"Gongjin, what should we do? What should we do?"

Zhou Hui behind him shouted in panic and excitement.

Zhou Yu gradually woke up from his grief and anger, and his fiery eyes shot forward, with a kind of determination seeming to surge in his eyes.

"Hulin has been lost, we have no way out!"

"Charge forward, risk your lives and carve out a bloody path. Only then will we have a chance of survival!"

Zhou Hui was confused.

Only 500 soldiers were left out of the 1,000 soldiers who had been defeated, while there were nearly 10,000 soldiers in the enemy camp opposite.

This is like hitting a rock with an egg.

Zhou Hui didn't dare to move, and the remaining 500 Jiangdong soldiers were also trembling with fear and no one dared to move.

Zhou Yu was the only one there, brandishing his sword and shouting hoarsely and madly.

"This thief is still struggling to death. It seems that he will not give up until he hits the wall."

"My Lord, let me take care of him."

Gan Ning rode his horse forward and stood in front of Liu Bei, holding the iron halberd in his hand with murderous intent spreading all over him.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and whipped his horse whip:
"Xingba, I'll leave it to you from now on."

Gan Ning took a deep breath and shouted:

"All troops, listen up! Follow me to kill all the Jiangdong bandits and capture Zhou Yu alive!"

Gan Ning kicked his horse's belly, holding the bloody halberd in his hand, and rushed out whistling.

Behind him, Liu Jun's soldiers rushed out of the camp like a tide and attacked the hundreds of remaining Jiangdong soldiers.

"Kill all the Jiangdong thieves——"

"Capture Zhou Yu alive—"

The deafening roar swallowed up all other sounds between heaven and earth.

Faced with such a crushing force, the mental will of the 500 Jiangdong soldiers who had not yet escaped was finally broken.

They screamed and wailed, throwing away their weapons and armor and fleeing in panic.

"Gongjin, there's no way we can break out!"

"Why not surrender to Liu Bei? Only in this way can we save our lives~~"

Zhou Hui's spirit had already collapsed. He actually dropped his weapon, dismounted from his horse and attempted to surrender.

Zhou Yu was stunned.

The person in front of me is a member of the Zhou family and my cousin.

He was so afraid of death that he surrendered to Liu Bei in order to save his life at this critical moment?
"You are afraid of death and betrayed Bofu. You are not worthy of being a descendant of the Zhou family!"

Zhou Yu flew into a rage and slashed at his brother with the sword in his hand.

With a scream, Zhou Hui fell in a pool of blood.

He turned around and saw that it was Zhou Yu who tried to kill him. There was an expression of disbelief on his shocked and painful face.

"You...you actually treat your own brothers...brothers..."

"Anyone who betrays Bo Fu shall die!"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, cursed, and attacked with another sword.

Zhou Hui's heart was pierced with a sound, and he groaned and died in grief and anger.

The spurting blood also splashed on Zhou Yu's face, waking him up from his rage.

"I can't die here, and I can't fall into the hands of the big-eared thief. I have to go!"

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, turned his horse around and headed north again.

"Liu Bei's main force is in the East Camp, so the North Camp should be undermanned. I can just pass through the gaps in his camp and escape to the river. I can just build a raft and go downstream..."

In Zhou Yu's mind, he was still making his final wishful thinking.

at this time.

Thunder rumbled ahead.

A large number of black cavalry rushed out from the darkness and blocked his way to the north.

Xiliang Cavalry.

It was the Western Liang cavalry led by Zhang Xiu, who were intercepting from the north!

Zhou Yu suddenly reined in his horse and looked at the cavalry coming towards him. The remaining hope in his eyes vanished at this moment.

It turned out that Liu Bei had deployed cavalry in the north.

This is a net that has been woven to drag him down from heaven to earth, making it impossible for him to escape.

"Am I, Zhou Yu, really going to die here today?"

Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with tears of grief and anger, and his whole body was wrapped in endless despair.

Just when he was feeling extremely sad, Zhang Xiu, riding a horse and dragging a spear, came rushing towards him like a violent storm.

Scarred, lame, and wearing golden armor...

Zhang Xiu recognized Zhou Yu at a glance, his eyes instantly became bloodshot and he was extremely excited.

This tremendous achievement is right before our eyes, how can we not accept it?

"Zhang Xiu is here!"

"Zhou Yu, you bastard, where are you running to!"

Zhang Xiu roared, rode his horse and raised his spear, and rushed forward. With the silver spear in his hand, he rushed towards Zhou Yu with the force of a violent storm.

Zhou Yu didn't know where he got the courage from, but he gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and slashed at Zhang Xiu.

This one strike had used up all his life's strength.

Unfortunately, he is just a wise general, and his martial arts are too weak.

When the sword was still halfway through, Zhang Xiu shot a spear as fast as lightning and pierced his shoulder.

Zhou Yu screamed miserably, and his huge body was blasted off his horse. Zhang Xiu flipped him in the air and threw him out fiercely.

...

At dawn, the first ray of morning light rose from the east, illuminating the top of Hulin City.

The shouts and cries of killing inside and outside the city have now calmed down.

This night attack ended with Hulin changing hands and the Jiangdong army being completely wiped out.

When Liu Bei and Xiao Fang rode side by side into Hulin City, the people of Hulin, who had been appeased in advance, were already waiting on both sides of the street.

Seeing Liu Bei entering the city, the people knelt on the ground one after another, and cheers of gratitude rose one after another.

"This is…"

Looking at this sudden scene, Lao Liu was caught off guard.

Xu Chu rode forward, clasped his hands and said:
"My lord, these people are grateful to you for not attacking Hulin by force and saving their lives from Zhou Yu, so they came here spontaneously to greet and thank you."

“When I attacked the west gate, it was these people who volunteered to help us dig away the dirt and rocks that were blocking the gate.”

Liu Bei then suddenly realized and understood the reason.

Looking at the people prostrating themselves, Old Liu seemed to see the power of the people's will and felt secretly relieved.

This situation made him more convinced that pursuing benevolence and righteousness was the right choice.

Climbing up the East Gate Tower, you can have a panoramic view of Hulin City.

Looking back to the east, the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward like a jade belt, as if the entire Jiangdong land is waving to him.

"After we take Hulin, the road to Jiangdong will be smooth."

"Fang estimated that the little tyrant was still bargaining with Yuan Shu at this time, and thought that Zhou Yu could hold the lord for him."

"My lord, please lead your troops eastwards, head straight to Jiangdong, and give Sun Ce a surprise."

After hearing Xiao Fang's words, Liu Bei was filled with heroic spirit and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

So he issued an order to take out all the wine and meat to reward the soldiers of the three armies. After resting for two days in Hulin, they joined forces with Taishi Ci who was heading north, and the large army by land and sea went straight to the heart of Jiangdong.

Footsteps were heard and Zhang Xiu stepped onto the city wall.

"My lord, I was ordered to intercept the enemy from the North Camp and successfully captured Zhou Yu alive!"

"Please make your decision, my lord!"

Zhang Xiu reported the credit.

Capture Zhou Yu alive!

Surprise suddenly appeared in Liu Bei's eyes.

The wisest general in Jiangdong and Sun Ce's strategist, he was the one who nearly led to the annihilation of his entire army in the Battle of Eshan.

Today, I finally couldn't escape and fell into his hands.

"In this battle, Zhongkang is the first to make contributions, and Wenjin is the second!"

Liu Bei praised him highly and rewarded him immediately according to his merits.

Zhang Xiu accepted the reward and thanked him, then shouted, "Come here, bring Zhou Yu to the city for our lord!"

The order was passed down.

A moment later, accompanied by a burst of cursing, Zhou Yu, half of his body covered in blood and with disheveled hair, was carried to the top of the east gate tower by the soldiers.

Zhou Yu tried desperately to stay upright but refused to kneel down.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu took a step forward and pressed Zhou Yu's shoulder hard with his tiger paw.

Zhou Yu's shoulder was already injured, and coupled with Zhang Xiu's strength, the pain instantly went deep into his bones. He could no longer hold on, and his knees went weak and he fell to his knees.

The once handsome Zhou Lang from Jiangdong now kneeled in front of Liu Bei in such an embarrassed state.

How could a proud man like him endure such humiliation? He struggled like a madman and stood up despite the severe pain.

Zhang Xiu, however, pinned him to the ground with his knees as easily as if he were holding down a chicken.

"Liu Bei, even though I was defeated by you, how dare you humiliate me~~"

Zhou Yu's face turned red as if he was about to explode. He had no choice but to raise his head and yell at Liu Bei with a look of grief and indignation on his face.

Old Liu was such a magnanimous person that he simply disdained to humiliate prisoners. If it were someone else, he would have stopped Zhang Xiu and let him get up.

But the person in front of him was Zhou Yu.

A man who treated the people of Hulin City like straw dogs and used them as human shields.

A person who made Lao Liu so angry that he personally issued an order to kill him.

For such a person, no matter how magnanimous Lao Liu is, he would not bother to abuse him.

then.

Liu Bei allowed Zhang Xiu to force Zhou Yu to his knees and asked coldly:

"Zhou Yu, you are now in my hands, what else can you say?"

The words trailed off.

Zhang Fei, who was standing by, could no longer bear to watch and cursed:
"Brother, why are you wasting time talking to him? Just chop him to death. Are you waiting for him to surrender?"

As soon as the word "surrender" came out, Zhou Yu's body shook, as if he had received a great stimulation. Suddenly, he stopped struggling and burst into laughter.

The laughter was full of sarcasm, as if what Zhang Fei had just said was a huge joke.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened as he looked at Zhou Yu who suddenly burst into laughter. He was quite confused and wondered if this guy was crazy.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Although Zhou Yu knelt on his knees, he held his head high, looked at Liu Bei with contempt, and said proudly:

"This is such a joke!"

"My Zhou family has been nobles for generations, and I am a famous scholar of the time. You, Liu Bei, are just a weaver and shoe seller. Are you worthy enough for me, Zhou Yu, to surrender to you?"

"In this world, the only person worthy of being my lord is Sun Bofu!"
