Chapter 625 Conquest!
Chapter 625 Conquest!
"complex?"
"That's right! Emperor Xian of Han is coming. What will happen to your subordinates? They want to advance with you. If you honor him as emperor, how will you become emperor in the future?"
"I...have absolutely no disloyal intentions, how dare I declare myself emperor without authorization?" Liu Bei said in a panic.
At this time, he was still Liu Bei, who only wanted to restore the Han Dynasty.
Instead of Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong.
"Are you sure?"
Liu Bei raised his head firmly, his eyes filled with determination: "Your Majesty has been kind to me, and I cannot stand by and watch him be forced by Cao Cao and Cao Pi."
Qianhe looked at Liu Bei and secretly admired his loyalty and righteousness.
After all, Liu Bei was not yet the King of Hanzhong at this time.
If it were Liu Bei during the reign of the King of Hanzhong, he might have had selfish motives.
After all, at that time, the strategists and generals would certainly not have allowed him to welcome Emperor Xian of Han!
...........................
"In that case, I can help you, but you need to be prepared for all sorts of situations." Chizuru finally decided to help Liu Bei this time.
Liu Bei was overjoyed and bowed again in gratitude: "Thank you for your help, Taoist priest. I will do my utmost. If I can save His Majesty, I will have no regrets even if I do not become emperor."
Qianhe understood that although Liu Bei's actions showed loyalty and righteousness, the road ahead would inevitably be more arduous.
"I think you should wait until you take Jingzhou, then communicate with your civil and military officials! See what their attitude is then before making a decision!"
"Bei..." Liu Bei wanted to say that he had already made up his mind.
But Chizuru interrupted him: "Why don't you wait until they come back before you talk to them!"
Afterwards, Chizuru led Yunxiao away from there.
Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled helplessly.
As for Chizuru, he naturally went to take the Five-Turn Golden Pill.
With Fairy Yunxiao around, his cultivation will be very fast!
While both sides were busy.
Zhang Fei had already led his army to Wuling, riding a warhorse and holding a long spear, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
When Jin Xuan, the governor of Wuling, heard that Zhang Fei was coming, he was terrified, but he still gritted his teeth and sent his troops to meet him.
The two armies arrayed themselves outside the city. Although Jin Xuan's soldiers looked fearful, they still charged towards Zhang Fei's troops under the urging of their officers.
"What are you afraid of? Charge!"
"Come on, let's fight Grandpa Zhang for three hundred rounds!" A furious roar, like a thunderclap, was heard, deafeningly loud.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Fei wearing heavy armor, holding a ten-foot spear, and riding a black horse, looking as majestic as a war god.
His eyes were wide with rage, his full beard bristled, and he shouted as he spurred his horse into the enemy ranks like a whirlwind.
The eighteen-foot spear swung in the air like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, instantly stirring up a storm of blood and gore.
The enemy troops were intimidated by Zhang Fei's imposing presence and retreated in terror. However, Zhang Fei was too fast, like a bolt of lightning. Wherever he went, enemy soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, their blood splattering everywhere.
Jin Xuan, who was watching the battle from the rear, was shocked to witness this scene.
He secretly marveled, "Zhang Fei truly lives up to his reputation; his bravery is unparalleled in the world!"
However, just as Jin Xuan was in shock, a commotion suddenly broke out in his army.
It turned out that his subordinate Gong Zhi had already secretly defected to Liu Bei. Seeing Zhang Fei's bravery, he took the opportunity to create chaos in the army.
"We pledge our allegiance to Liu Bei!"
He shouted and then launched a surprise attack from the rear.
After all, Liu Bei had easily captured Jiangling and Xiangyang, and Liu Biao was already dead. This series of events made everyone realize that continuing to fight against Liu Bei was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
In this situation, what other choice did they have but to surrender?
...........................
Seeing this, Jin Xuan was extremely anxious and wanted to stabilize the situation, but it was too late.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Fei launched a fierce attack, and his army instantly collapsed, with soldiers scattering and fleeing.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jin Xuan had no choice but to turn his horse around and try to escape back to the city.
However, Gong Zhi had already set up an ambush at the city gate. When he saw Jin Xuan fleeing, he shot an arrow without hesitation, hitting Jin Xuan in the back.
Jin Xuan screamed and fell from his horse. Zhang Fei spurred his horse forward, raised his spear, and killed Jin Xuan with a single blow.
With Jin Xuan's death, the defenders of Wuling City lost their will to resist.
Gong Zhi seized the opportunity to open the city gates and welcome Zhang Fei into the city.
Zhang Fei led his army into Wuling City smoothly. He comforted the people in the city and quickly restored order to stabilize the situation.
Thus, Wuling City finally fell into Liu Bei's hands.
