Tokyo: My Super Powers are updated every week

Chapter 860: Conquering Fancheng and Conquering Jiangling

Cao Ren never believed in retribution.

If retribution really exists, then the King of Wei should not have existed in this world long ago.

Previously, Nanyang County rebelled, and Cao Ren led his army to suppress the rebellion. In order to deter the scoundrels, he simply slaughtered everyone in Wancheng.

Tell other untouchables that whoever dares to cause trouble will only die.

He remembered that when he gave the order, the Wei soldiers dragged local residents, such as chickens and ducks, out of their houses and slaughtered them.

The killings left heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.

Cao Ren had no mercy in his heart.

He followed the King of Wei in his campaigns, and this was not the first time he had massacred a city.

However, this time it was not the King of Wei who gave him the order to massacre the city. Instead, it was the first time that he issued the order to massacre the city on his own will.

But it feels like nothing has changed.

Only when he carried out the massacre for the first time, he was easily disturbed by the wailing of the people, but that trace of reluctance became blurred in time.

Even he forgot what his mentality was at that time.

Is this my retribution this time?
Cao Ren watched as the huge fire man took on the appearance of Guan Yu. After a roar, the fire man approached the city wall.

The heat wave rolled in.

The Wei army on the city wall, including Cao Ren and Man Chong, all stood still, not knowing what to do.

Who can resist this kind of Fire God?

"Lord Guan, this is none of our business. It's all Cao Ren's fault!"

"Yes, it was Man Chong and the others who forced us not to join the Royal Master!"

The surrounding soldiers quickly changed their positions and began to blame Cao Ren and Man Chong. Under such pressure, they had no intention of holding on.

Cao Ren suddenly reacted and said with a grim look on his face: "Guan Yu, I don't know what you did.

But you can kill me if you want. I will never betray the King of Wei!"

Man Chong's lips moved.

He didn't know whether he should continue to be loyal to King Wei.

Although he was a famous cruel official, his mental will was not as strong as people imagined.

It is better to say that it is precisely because of the weak inner will that one wants to torture others with the most severe punishment.

Cover up your cowardice in that way.

He was willing to defend Fancheng before because he believed that Fancheng could be defended and he would be promoted afterwards.

However, since Guan Yu has such abilities, why fight?
The King of Wei was no match at all.

The world will definitely belong to the King of Hanzhong!
"Sir! I surrender!"

Man Chong shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ren became furious and drew his sword to chop at Man Chong's neck.

Man Chong was shocked by the fire man and did not consider the reaction of Cao Ren beside him, let alone guard against the attack.

He only felt the cold blade breaking through the flesh and blood vessels and drilling inside.

Man Chong opened his mouth, and a large amount of blood gushed out from inside his mouth and slid down his cheeks.

He didn't say a word and fell directly against the city wall.

The surrounding guards scattered.

But the soldiers, eager to surrender, looked fierce and rushed forward with swords drawn.

The bodyguards were slightly stunned, but still did not choose to stop it. They just stepped back silently and watched the situation develop.

"You are worthy of killing me?!"

Cao Ren roared, his eyes widened, like a tiger forced into a desperate situation, with a fierce and violent aura all over his body.

Instead of retreating in fear, he rushed towards the Wei soldiers on the left.

The ring-handled knife went straight to the soldier's neck.

Unlike him who was wearing armor, the soldiers were wearing thin clothes.

That piece of cloth couldn't stop the blade at all.

On the other hand, the armor on his body would not be damaged as long as the soldiers did not stab him in vital parts.

Under normal circumstances, one sword attack would not be able to break through the defense.

Cao Ren is not a fool. He would not stand there and let someone stab him in the vitals.

He avoided the vital points, ignored attacks from other parts of the body, and slashed the soldier in front of him hard on the neck. With a sudden slash, the blade was pulled out, causing blood to spurt out.

His ferocious posture and eyes frightened the other three people so much that they stopped for a moment. Then Cao Ren spun around and swung his ring-handled sword backwards.

The Wei soldier who was in the front raised his sword to block.

Snap, the blades collided, and neither side was broken.

Qingze watched this scene and found that this parallel world was different from the parallel world of the shogunate. It was most likely a world without magic.

If not, how could a general of Cao Ren's caliber be unable to cut off even a small soldier's sword?

He thought about it and didn't take any action.

He just stood there quietly, like a god looking down at the humans under the clouds, watching them kill each other.

……

"General!"

With a mournful cry, the bodyguard did not stand there and rushed forward.

As Cao Ren's personal soldiers, they were all wearing armor.

The food is also better than that of ordinary soldiers.

Each of the personal soldiers is over eight feet tall, and they are definitely elite soldiers.

Cao Ren was able to react when only one person rushed forward, but three of his personal soldiers rushed forward together and pressed him directly against the battlement, making it completely impossible to move his hands and feet.

"Assholes, how dare you betray me!"

"General, why do you do this?"

The soldier's tone was still very sad, but he did not slow down at all. He drew his sword and chopped at Cao Ren's neck viciously.

Cao Ren glared at him angrily.

He recognized the soldier as Fan Yong, a native of Yecheng, Jizhou.

"thief."

As soon as Cao Ren shouted, he felt the pain of the blade cutting through his flesh, and a numbing feeling instantly spread from the wound.

A surge of coldness suddenly invaded his body, his eyes widened, and even the flames in the air could not warm his body.

King Wei...

Before Cao Ren died, the first thing he thought of was the King of Wei. He hoped that he would never come to Fancheng.

He took his last breath.

The guard gritted his teeth, used all his strength to cut off Cao Ren's head, and shouted upwards: "Lord Guan, we surrender."

"late."

Qingze replied.

From his height, he could see what the scenery of Fancheng was like. All the people who could eat had been eaten, and there was no way for ordinary residents to survive.

There were only man-eating wild beasts in the city.

He raised his hand, and the flames in his palm formed the shape of a big knife, which he slashed downwards quickly.

"No!"

Fan Yong shouted, with an extremely terrified expression on his face. Just like what he had done to the people of Wancheng, once he swung his knife, he would not care about anyone's wailing or begging for mercy.

Even a three-year-old child will die.

As the flames approached, Fan Yong suddenly thought of the child he had killed, and a trace of regret arose in his heart.

Maybe this is retribution.

Boom.

The flames fell and the city tower was directly reduced to ashes in the fire.

The human figures turned black in the fire and then broke apart.

Qingze did not forget to take care of the Wei army in other places, and the raging flames flattened everything.

Apart from the city walls, there was nothing left in Fancheng.

Guan Yu hid in the space, his heart was shaken, and he had a feeling that he was still dreaming.

He raised his hand and pinched his cheek, and the pain proved that this was not a dream.

Xu Huang surrendered and Fancheng was captured. What he had been dreaming of was achieved in such a short time.

This is the power of God!
Guan Yu was so excited that he almost pulled out his long beard, which he was so proud of.

He never imagined that he would be so close to supporting the Han Dynasty during his lifetime.

The flame that Qingze transformed into suddenly shrank to its normal size, and he said, "Lord Guan, next we will go to Gong'an and Jiangling."

"Gong'an and Jiangling are both very strong cities. It will be impossible for Sun Quan to capture them in a short time."

Guan Yu expressed his judgment.

He withdrew some soldiers from Gong'an and Jiangling, but the remaining troops were still enough to defend the two cities.

It’s not that Guan Yu was arrogant, it’s just that the Wu army was very poor at siege, so there was no way they could break his city defense deployment.

Qingze shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is well-versed in the Art of War, and should know that attacking the heart is the best strategy.

Mi Fang and Shi Ren have betrayed the King of Hanzhong."

"impossible."

Guan Yu cried out in shock and shook his head, "Since Zhuo County, Shi Ren has been following my brother in all the battles and has never had any second thoughts.

So is Mi Fang.

The two had not yet betrayed each other in Xuzhou and Changbanpo.

How could they, who are in such high positions of power, betray my brother now?"

Even though Guan Yu scolded Mi Fang and Shi Ren harshly in the letter, that doesn't mean he really wanted to kill them. He would only scold them so mercilessly if he treated them as his own people.

"My Lord, people change. You treat them as your own, but they no longer treat you as their own. If you don't believe me, follow me to Jiangling to see if the Han army flag is still on the top of the city wall."

Qingze's words made Guan Yu fall silent, and the joy on his face disappeared.

If Mi Fang and Shi Ren betrayed him, then it would be a very unwise strategy for him to stay here.

Without the help of the gods, Guan Yu could imagine what kind of disastrous defeat he would suffer when attacked from all sides.

But how could Mi Fang and Shi Ren betray?

Their friendship was forged through mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Over the years, the three of them had some conflicts in Jingzhou.

But is it just a small contradiction? Is it necessary to make such a big deal?
Guan Yu was in a trance.

There are only a handful of old brothers who started the uprising in Zhuo County and are still alive today.

……

The owner of Jiangling City changed.

But the residents living in Jiangling City did not notice any discomfort. Except for changing the flags on the city walls, everything else was no different from usual.

This was the result of Lu Meng's repeated orders.

He wanted to let the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army on the front line know that there would be no problems in Jiangling City under their governance, so as to undermine their fighting spirit.

If they want to continue to be the enemy of Eastern Wu, there will definitely be a bloody storm in Jiangling City.

Lu Meng was good at attacking people's hearts and knew how to manipulate people's psychology. So after he took over the affairs of Jingzhou, he had been using the strategy of attacking people's hearts and minds, slowly disintegrating the hostility of the Jingzhou gentry, Mi Fang, and Shi Ren towards the Eastern Wu.

In the end, they achieved a military miracle by taking two important cities without bloodshed.

"Cough cough."

Lu Meng coughed and felt his body becoming weaker and weaker.

"Grand Commander, you should take a rest first."

"It's okay. Are all the guests here?"

Lu Meng shook his head. He took Jiangling and Gong'an without bloodshed.

The first priority is to appease the local noble families and officials of the two cities to ensure that there will be no trouble.

If you want to do that kind of thing, a banquet is naturally indispensable.

“Everyone is here.”

The personal soldier answered, his eyes filled with worry.

Lu Meng was born with a handsome appearance, but he suffered from a serious illness for many years, and his face looked thin and pale, and he did not look like a general who had fought on the battlefield at all.

Paired with that plain white robe, he looks more like a scholar who only knows how to recite poems and compose couplets.

"Then let's go meet them."

Lu Meng took a breath and walked towards the lobby of the prefectural government.

……

The lights in the prefectural government were bright.

In order to demonstrate the financial strength of Eastern Wu, Lu Meng brightly lit the entire prefectural government office. There was an armored soldier every ten steps, staring at every guest with murderous eyes.

He came to the lobby.

The aroma of the dishes wafted in the air.

The noble families and officials of Jiangling City, as well as some generals and noble families of Eastern Wu were all present.

Some people have cold expressions, while others have flattering and enthusiastic expressions.

No matter which expression it was, Lu Meng didn't care. He said with a faint smile on his face: "Thank you all for accepting the invitation."

As he spoke, he walked across the seats to the host's seat, turned around, and bowed downwards.

At the first table on the left, Mi Fang quickly stood up and said flatteringly, "It is our honor to be invited by the Grand Commander."

There was no way out for him.

Only by clinging to Lu Meng's thigh and surrendering to the Eastern Wu could he continue to live a leisurely life as a rich man in the second half of his life.

He no longer thought about the issue of power.

Lü Meng smiled and said, "Zifang, you are the most meritorious person in our conquest of Jiangling City. I am not in good health and cannot drink alcohol, so I will offer you a glass of water instead of wine."

He picked up the cup filled with water and toasted Mi Fang.

Even though he looked down on this traitor in his heart.

But he wanted to let others see that he was willing to respect even such a traitor.

Not to mention those children from aristocratic families.

Mi Fang blushed and said, "I also wish the Grand Commander to defeat Guan Yu as soon as possible and seize Jingzhou."

"Haha."

Lu Meng smiled.

Normally he would say something modest, but not now.

He needs to show absolute confidence in order to make those present choose to submit to his power.

"Guan Yu is arrogant and conceited. It will be easy to defeat him."

"Okay! Then let me see if you have what it takes!"

……

The sound of shouting came from outside the lobby, and all the Jingzhou officials present were shocked.

They were too familiar with who the owner of the voice was.

The representatives sent by the noble families all looked terribly disappointed.

Between the rule of Eastern Wu and the rule of King Hanzhong, which one treated the aristocratic families better? It was undoubtedly the former.

Isn’t Guan Yu on the front line fighting at Fancheng?
Why are you back to Jiangling?
More importantly, how did Guan Yu appear directly in Jiangling City?

Things that other people can think of.

Lu Meng could also think of it. A blush appeared on his pale cheeks and he stared at Mi Fang fiercely.

I was actually tricked by this person using a dead spy? !
This was the only possibility that Lu Meng could think of.

There is a secret passage in Jiangling City.

Guan Yu led his troops into the prefectural government's residence through a secret passage. Only this could explain why he appeared outside the lobby of the prefectural government's residence without any notification.

Mi Fang's face turned pale. He noticed that Lu Meng looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and he shouted, "General, I didn't know about this."

"Mi Fang! Shi Ren! You actually betrayed the King of Hanzhong. Why?!"

Guan Yu's furious question echoed in the lobby.

However, when Lu Meng looked outside the door, he did not see any large number of Jingzhou soldiers gathered, but only people from Eastern Wu.

Even Guan Yu didn’t see it, where did the voice come from?

Lü Meng was filled with doubt and confusion. He stood up and was about to speak, but suddenly he felt a pain in his breath.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed hard. The more nervous and anxious he was and the more he wanted to give orders, the more painful the feedback from his body became, as if the blood was flowing back and preventing him from speaking.

"Grand Governor!"

Han Dang, the old general of Eastern Wu, shouted.

Lu Meng held on to his body, he knew that he couldn't fall down now.

If they fall, it will have a huge impact on the morale of Eastern Wu.

"Come."

Lu Meng pronounced a word with difficulty.

"Has the King of Hanzhong ever treated you unfairly?"

Guan Yu questioned again.

This time Lu Meng could hear where the voice came from.

He looked up at the sky, his blood boiling.

"puff!"

Lu Meng spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

"Grand Governor!"

Han Dang was instantly frightened and rushed forward.

He served under three generations, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan. Although he could not be considered a wise general, he understood what it meant when the main general fell at a time like this.

It's bad for the morale of the army.

Mi Fang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He collapsed to the ground with his legs going weak.

He didn't know why Guan Yu appeared in Jiangling.

The Jingzhou officials present spoke up one after another.

"My Lord, we have always been loyal to the Han Dynasty!"

"I only regret that Mi Fang opened the city gate without permission, forcing us to temporarily deal with the Eastern Wu villains."

"Please forgive me, my lord!"

They changed their positions one after another.

"Someone come! Kill them all!"

Sun Huan was furious. He was a relative of Sun Quan and was very brave and decisive.

Under the current circumstances, it is obviously not suitable to continue recruiting this group of people.

The only option is to kill.

The armored guards came in.

"Who dares to take action?"

A man and a horse, as if they jumped down from the moon.

Bang! The floor outside shattered.

This was naturally not caused by Red Hare, but by Qingze using a little trick.

He sat high on the horse, holding a knife in one hand, with his long beard fluttering on his chest, like a god descending from heaven, leaving the soldiers of Eastern Wu stunned on the spot.

"What are you afraid of? He's alone."

Sun Huan shouted and rushed forward, "Kill them!"

The soldiers reacted, drew their swords and rushed out the door.

Qingze squeezed the horse's belly and Red Hare rushed forward quickly.

He did not use any superpowers, but simply exerted his own strength and wielded the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

There was a flash of snow-white knife light, and heads flew up one after another. The airflow carried by the blade directly rolled up the blood, and the blood drew a strange arc in the air.

Qingze experienced the feeling of turning on the sword when playing Dynasty Warriors.

Sun Huan was so frightened that his heart and liver almost burst. He considered himself a brave warrior, but this was the first time in his life that he had seen someone who was so skillful in chopping heads and vegetables.

Is this a fifty-seven-year-old man?
"No!"

Sun Huan wanted to retreat.

The knife flashed, and the young head was rushed into the sky with blood.

Qingze rode his horse as if he was in an empty space, charging all the way from the door to the lobby.

"Stop being so arrogant!"

Han Dang shouted loudly, snatched the spear from the soldier's hand, and stabbed forward suddenly.

puff!
The spear was split from the head to the middle by the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and then there was Han Dang's head.

"How dare a man who puts up a stake and sells his head claim to be brave."

Qingze laughed loudly and attacked the group of Eastern Wu generals again. No one could withstand a single move from him.

In the blink of an eye, the hall was filled with blood and heads rolling.

The horse's hooves stepped on the pool of blood and came to Mi Fang.

Qingze looked at the traitor below.

Guan Yu in the space asked again: "Has the King of Hanzhong ever treated you unfairly?"

Mi Fang's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "My Lord, I, I don't want that either. At first I just wanted to do business and resell some military equipment.

I could have filled in the blank, but who knew you suddenly wanted to go north.

Yunchang, Yunchang!
For my elder brother's sake, please spare my life."

At the end of his words, he cried and hugged Ma Ti.

"I'll explain to Zi Zhong."

Qingze cut off his head.

Shi Ren, who was standing by, saw this scene and was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder ruptured and he died vomiting bile without him having to do anything.
