Xiaoguangong

Chapter 406 Sun Quan Surrenders
Although Cao Jun didn't know what happened, when the order to withdraw the troops came, there were cheers one after another in all the army camps.

Countless soldiers hugged each other tightly, as if they had won a great victory.

This protracted battle was desperate.

From the first day they almost broke through Wancheng, but after more than a month of fierce fighting, Wancheng was still indestructible, and they were the ones who were forced to flee.

At this point, everyone understands one thing.

The newborn Cao Wei seems to be in the doldrums, the banner of the big man is still terribly powerful, and anyone who betrays him will be fatally hit.

Wang Mang is like this, Cao Pi...

Soon too.

Cao Ren also knew what would happen next.

He reluctantly looked at the ruins of Wancheng that were on the verge of collapse by the boulders from the trebuchet, and sighed in frustration.

He felt sorry for Cao Cao's trust.

When Cao Cao was there, they swept across the north, and they won the final victory after a difficult battle. All the princes were afraid of their power and had to bow their heads obediently, but they lost a little in the Chibi War.

But now...

If one could be loyal to a big man back then, what would the world look like now?

Cao Ren thought of this incident more than once recently, and in the end he could only comfort himself——

Fortunately, Zijian did not lose his identity as a Hanchen after all, and he can still hold his head high and say that he is the descendant of the Han Dynasty, loyal and good for generations.

I……

Never have this chance again.

Chang Diao looked at Cao Ren's dejected look, and knew that the general who was holding him with one hand must be quite desperate now.

He took the opportunity to fan the flames and said:

"General, the last general thinks there is no need to do this."

"Oh? What advice does the giant eagle have?"

Chang Diao took the opportunity to show off:
"General, I don't think we need to be so desperate.

You see, the Gongsun family is now occupying a dangerous place, and it is still difficult to conquer after so many years.

Now when I go north, I can still form an alliance with the Gongsun family, and then I will discuss it carefully with Liu Bei.

I see that Liu Beizhi is not an unreasonable person in the world, as long as...hehe, as long as we can talk about it, it will not make the blood of Dawei disappear, right? "

"It's not easy to say." Cao Ren shook his head, "The emperor of Wei is in the hall, and Liu Xuande will never die, unless..."

As soon as the words came to his lips, Cao Ren's face suddenly revealed a trace of horror. Seeing that Cao Ren seemed to have thought of something, Chang Diao couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only continue to pretend to be inscrutable, and then fell silent.

Cao Ren thought for a moment, then said:

"Ju Ying is right, if you want to save Da Wei... that's the only way."

Chang Diao:? ? ?
What did I say?

The not-so-intense water battle on the Han River finally came to an end.

In this battle, the entire Wu army was annihilated, General Ling Tong was put to death, He Qi committed suicide, and many heroes who opened up Jiangdong's territory were either captured or committed suicide.

Sun Quan, who escaped from Zhang Liao's men in the Battle of Hefei, did not escape the net set by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang himself.

Accompanied by Zhuge Jin, he boarded Liu Bei's boat in despair as a captive, officially declaring that Soochow's foundation was wiped out.

He walked to the boat in a daze, and before he saw Liu Bei, he had already seen a familiar figure first.

"Guan Ping..." Sun Quan muttered unwillingly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It was he who came to attack, but he hit his head on the iron plate, he was captured, and the family property of his ancestors was wiped out in an instant. Huge humiliation must be inevitable.

After seeing each other for many years, Guan Ping has grown taller and mightier. He who has been in the top position for a long time without anger and prestige is no longer comparable to the young man who was at a loss during the Battle of Chibi.

In these years, he fought in the north and south, and wiped out countless powerful enemies. This time, Sun Quan fell into his hands. This made Sun Quan quite unwilling, and said bitterly:

"In order to deceive me, Gong et al. made up the theory of destiny early on, and kept luring me into the bait.

Now that I have been a prisoner, I have to feel that being fair is really a good way. "

He still clearly remembered the heavenly book.

Guan Ping once told Sun Quan about the destiny, and for so many years, Sun Quan has always believed that the direction of destiny can be close to his side.

Now that everything is proved to be illusory, Sun Quan is still unwilling to reconcile.

Guan Ping looked at the prince who dominated the Jiangdong side, and recalled the years of the Battle of Chibi, he couldn't help frowning and said:
"As per the Mandate of Heaven, it is true that I never lied to Marquis Wu.

For thousands of years, the war has not stopped, and Ping witnessed the world being ravaged by the iron hooves of alien races, and the people were displaced, but he didn't know what to do. He just told Wuhou what he saw.

The heavens and the earth know this matter, Hanshui is the proof, I have no intention of deceiving Marquis Wu.

But when he said casually back then, Marquis Wu had been thinking about it for so many years, and if he insisted that it was Guan's fault, Guan also admitted it. "

"Is it true?" Sun Quan wanted to ridicule Liu Bei and others for their hypocrisy, and started to trick him many years ago, but he didn't expect Guan Ping's words to make him freeze on the spot.

Seeing Guan Ping's expression didn't look like a fake at all, Sun Quan froze in place for a while, and then murmured:
"how can that be?"

Guan Ping sneered and said:
"If Marquis Wu doesn't believe it, just wait.

After the world is settled down, I will go to fight with the heroes after a thousand years. At that time, Marquis Wu will naturally know that I never lied a single word back then. "

Is that right?

Sun Quan felt a little more heavy in his heart. Seeing his distressed appearance, Zhuge Jin, who was a minister, took the initiative to save the siege and sighed:
"The number of destiny is not something we can guess.

Now that the army is defeated like this, the little general should not say any more, I will wait for everyone to settle down. "

Guan Ping nodded and stepped out of the way, Sun Quan raised his head forward, his eyes froze immediately.

It's not that he hasn't seen Liu Bei.

In the past, he should have stood upright with this long-established warrior and jointly wrote a great chapter that will last forever.

But he never expected that he was in high spirits, but was inexplicably defeated in front of this white-haired hero.

"It's my honor to meet Mr. Liu. Seeing Mr. Liu's demeanor is still the same, I feel relieved."

Sun Quan still talked and laughed freely in front of Liu Bei.

He knew that Liu Bei would definitely not kill him—don't say that Liu Bei has always adhered to the name of benevolence and righteousness, even if the world is not peaceful and Jiangdong is not yet under Liu Bei's control, of course he will not kill Sun Quan.

Sure that he is safe, of course Sun Quan will not be too humble in front of Liu Bei.

He held his head high, trying to make his expression calmer, but facing Liu Bei's calm face, Sun Quan still felt an unspeakable tremor.

"General Sun." Liu Bei slowly got up and walked towards Sun Quan.

As soon as he moved, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan who were following him also moved forward. These top fighters who came out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood were all tall and burly like mountains, and their silent and stern breath made Sun Quan's hair stand on end. Take two steps back.

Everyone can surrender, but Sun Quan can't...

This is what Lu Su told Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi.

At this moment Sun Quan understood the meaning of this sentence even more.

Although surrendering can save his life, for him, as long as he bows down and surrenders, everything about him will be wiped out.

That's really not much different from being dead.

"General Sun, don't worry, I, Liu Bei, will never kill you."

"Not only will I not kill you, but I will keep your clan and appoint your clan to be Han generals. You can rest assured."

Liu Bei already knew a lot of things from Zhuge Liang. He knew everything that Sun Quan had done in history, and he also knew that because of Sun Quan's various actions, his life's great career was wiped out.

Liu Bei can well understand the pain of his ideals being wiped out, so he knows how to deal with Sun Quan.

"What you did with Cao Pi deserves death, but I still don't want to kill you.

This is not because of our friendship in the past, or what you have done for the big man, but because of your father's achievements in the past. "

"Back when Dong Zhuo was attacked, all the generals were hesitant to move forward. What a hero Sun Wentai was, he took the lead in attacking Luoyang and was admired by heroes all over the world.

Although your elder brother, Sun Bofu, killed indiscriminately, but if he were to be called a hero in the world, he would be worthy of it. "

"Jiangdong's important affairs are entrusted to you, what have you done?
Is it to kill thieves for the great man, or to gather the heroes of the world to fight against the vassals? "

Liu Bei was quite excited at first, but as he spoke, there was already a deep sense of regret in his voice.

"During the war, you gave me a place to stay, and I have to thank you.

But let's not see each other in the future, I don't want to talk to you anymore. "

Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and turned around hastily.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also retreated, only Sun Quan stood there in a daze, looking at Liu Bei's back, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"General Guan."

"Here." Guan Ping didn't expect Sun Quan to call him, so he walked a few steps forward.

Looking at Liu Bei's figure in the distance, the former overlord said with a complicated expression:

"If Jiangdong can be returned to the Han Dynasty, how will future history books comment on me?"

Guan Ping thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I don't know either, but I should be able to say... Han Chen!"
