    With a bang, the door fell apart and was smashed from the outside.

    "Dazzling light poured into the dim lobby. Zhou Yu, who was about to commit suicide, his eyes were pierced by the light for a moment, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

    With his eyes dizzy, he could only hear the sound of horse hooves and chaotic footsteps, as if a large number of soldiers and horses broke into the lobby.

    As his vision gradually became clearer, Zhou Yu slowly lowered his arm and looked up.

    In the field of vision, a towering body stood in front of him like an iron tower.

    The tiger-bodied general on the horse exuded a killing power all over his body. His knife-like face was filled with self-confidence that seemed to be innate, and the green dragon sword in his hand was still dripping with warm blood.  blood.

    Yan Liang stood on his horse so proudly, looking down at Zhou Yu who looked embarrassed and stunned.

    For a moment, Zhou Yu was frozen there, as if he was frightened by Yan Liang's power and lost his mind.

    Yan Liang only sneered and said slowly: "Zhou Yu, we finally meet."

    Zhou Yu shivered all over, and suddenly regained his consciousness. Only then did he realize in surprise that the mighty enemy general in front of him must be Yan Liang.

    After fighting for so many years and hating him for so many years, the enemy who made him lose face repeatedly and lost face was now standing in front of him so confidently.

    That arrogant sneer seemed to wantonly humiliate Zhou Yu's dignity. The unprecedented pain made Zhou Yu angry.

    "Yan Liang is a good man¡ª¡ª"

    Zhou Yu stood up unsteadily and uttered four words through gritted teeth.

    ¡°Four words that Yan Liang is tired of hearing.

    "Zhou Yu. Do you know why you failed?" Yan Liang was not angry, but only asked coldly.

    Zhou Yu¡¯s body trembled as he faced Yan Liang¡¯s humiliating question.  His face was livid, his teeth were gritted, and he didn't know how to respond.

    "Because you, Zhou Yu, always like to be superior and look down on Yu Gu. Liu Biao and Sun Quan are the same. Those of you who claim to be of noble birth always think that Gu is from a humble background. Even if Gu is victorious after repeated battles, you always think that Gu is just lucky.  , it is your so-called nobility that has caused you to be trampled under your feet one by one."

    Yan Liang¡¯s words were not so much a satire on Zhou Yu as a self-clarification of his own aspirations.

    Those arrogant words, that cold and arrogant aura.  This shocked Zhou Yu, who was originally angry.  The whole thing couldn't help but be in a trance.

    After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yu had to painfully admit that what Yan Liang said was absolutely correct.

    Since the Battle of Xiakou, every time after Yan Liang's victory, he, Zhou Yu, never thought that this so-called victory was just a fluke of the Hebei traitor.

    Even until he learned that Yan Liang had defeated Yingtian.  When he wiped out Jiangdong, Zhou Yu's heart was still full of contempt.  He stubbornly believed that Yan Liang, a humble man, was not worthy of such an achievement.

    He self-righteously believed that all Yan Liang's achievements were only because Yan Liang was unscrupulous, insidious and despicable.

    Now, as the winner, Yan Liang ruthlessly exposed Zhou Yu's self-deception and completely destroyed Zhou Yu's remaining self-confidence.

    "Yan thief, it doesn't matter if you win, I, the mighty Koto Mizuro, will never succumb to you, haha¡ª¡ª"

    Zhou Yu, who was so ashamed, suddenly started laughing like crazy.

    Yan Liang remained calm, staring coldly at Zhou Yu who was laughing wildly, admiring the enemy's sad and self-deprecating laughter in despair.

    Suddenly, Zhou Yu's hanging arm was raised again, and the blood-stained sword in his hand was wiped towards his neck.

    Zhou Yu chose to commit suicide. He would rather die than be Yan Liang's prisoner and let Yan Liang enjoy the sense of accomplishment of surrendering him.

    Yan Liang's eyes moved, and he instantly understood Zhou Yu's intention. Before Zhou Yu's sword was wiped against his neck, the sword on his waist was unsheathed and was thrown out like lightning.

    There was a painful muffled sound, and the flying sword caught Zhou Yu's neck and penetrated his arm accurately. The strong force caused Zhou Yu to fall backwards, and actually nailed him alive.  on the wall behind him.

    Zhou Yu, who was nailed to the wall, was shocked and in pain. He never expected that Yan Liang's reaction would be so fast, and he would arrive first before he raised his hand.

    "You thief, if you want to kill me, I'll chop you up quickly. I, Zhou Yu, will never be insulted by you." Zhou Yu, angry and painful, gritted his teeth and yelled.

    How did Yan Liang abuse Sun Quan?Of course, Zhou Yu, who was in Huainan, had heard about it.

    Zhou Yu did not expect that Yan Liang would be such a vengeful person, and he would behead Sun Quan only after being tortured and humiliated in every possible way.

    At this time, Zhou Yu was captured by Yan Liang. The reason why he was eager to commit suicide was that he was afraid that after being captured, he would suffer the same treatment as Sun Quan.

    But this time, Zhou Yu guessed wrong.

    The reason why Yan Liang humiliated and tortured Sun Quan in that way was partly because he wanted to vent his revenge, but partly because Sun Quan was greedy for life and afraid of death, and even sold his mother to survive, which deeply disgusted Yan Liang.

    It is precisely because of this that Yan Liangcai tortured Sun Quan even more.

    For Zhou Yu, his old enemy, Yan Liang originally planned to torture him after capturing him to vent his hatred.

    However, the scene where Zhou Yu raised his sword to commit suicide proved that Zhou Yu was at least a bloody man who was not afraid of death. It was this that made Yan Liang appreciate this old enemy.

    Yan Liangce immediately got a higher rank, looked down at Zhou Yu who was nailed to the wall, and said coldly: "You have been defeated by Gu's men. Whether you live or die depends entirely on Gu's mood. If you want to die, you can't help it."  ¡±

    "You thief Yan, kill me. Do you have the guts to kill me?"

    Zhou Yu was so angry that he screamed crazily for death.

    Zhou Yu here only wanted to die, but it was in sharp contrast to the time in Yuhang, when Sun Quan was shameless and wanted to live.

    Yan Liang suddenly felt that the man in front of him was really pathetic. Whether it was past history or current history, he had devoted half his life to Sun Quan.  It's all extremely sad.

    "Come here, take him down first so that you can keep an eye on him." Yan Liang raised his whip and shouted.

    The Tiger Guard troops on the left and right advanced fiercely.  He removed Zhou Yu who was nailed to the wall and dragged Zhou Yu, who was covered in blood, out.

    "Yan Liang, kill me if you have the guts, kill me -" Zhou Yu yelled at the top of his lungs, but was ruthlessly dragged down by those cold soldiers.

    Looking coldly at Zhou Yu being dragged down, Yan Liang turned over and dismounted.  Xingran sat in Zhou Yu's seat.

    Looking down, the blood-soaked soldiers in front of the hall all bowed their heads slightly.  Everyone was frightened by Yan Liang's majesty and did not dare to look directly at him.

    Outside the lobby, the shouts of killing gradually fell silent, and Yan Liang knew it.  This is Shouchun City.  It's already his.

    In the afternoon, the smoke cleared and the battle finally ended.

    Flags with the word "Yan" have been planted on the Dudu Mansion and the surrounding towers. After the death and injury of two thousand soldiers, this most important city in Huainan has finally fallen into the hands of Yan Liang.

    Soon after the capture of Shouchun, Yan Liang divided his troops into four attacks.  Head west to capture Yangquan and capture the mouth of Yingshui River entering the Huaihe River.  Head east to capture Yicheng, and seize the Wu River into Huaikou.

    At the same time, he divided his troops and went north to capture Ruyin, Fupo, Longkang, Ping'a and other Huaibei counties, so that Huainan was connected with Yanliang's original Runan and Qiao counties. From west to east, from south to north, it attacked Liu Bei.  The two states of Qingyan and Yan controlled by him posed a threat.

    When Yan Liang conquered Shouchun, captured Zhou Yu alive, and swept across both banks of the Huaihe River, Guan Yu was leading his 10,000 soldiers and horses on the road to Xuzhou in a hurry.

    Guan Yu¡¯s army first went eastward from the Huai River and rushed to Huaiyin, the seat of Guangling County. Then they went north along the Surabaya River and hurried towards the fallen city of Xiapi.

    While Guan Yu was anxiously on his way, Zhang Liao's thousand cavalry swept half of Xuzhou after successfully raiding Xiapi.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

    Within a few days, Zhang Liao sent his troops to attack in all directions and swept away all the counties near Xiapi. Wherever he passed, he burned down all the county treasuries and granaries.

    After ravaging for five full days, Lu Meng arrived at Xiapi from Haixi.

    At the same time, the scouts in the south also sent back an urgent report, saying that Guan Yu's reinforcements had arrived in a hurry and were less than thirty miles away from Xiapi City.

    "Guan Yu's army is finally back. Our mission has been completed. It's almost time to withdraw." Lu Meng said with a smile.

    Although the sneak attack on Xiapi City was successful, the two of them were still deep into the enemy's hinterland. At this time, Guan Yu's elite had returned, and it was obviously not a wise move to stay any longer.

    Zhang Liao nodded slightly: "Then I will immediately give the order to burn down all the treasuries and granaries in Xiapi City, and then we will leave."

    "It's not enough to burn down the treasury and granary." At this time, Lu Meng shook his head, with a cold look in his eyes.

      With that said, Lu Meng took out a silk letter from his arms, "At this time, the lord gave us a secret order. The lord has an order, ordering us to burn the entire Xiapi City to the ground before retreating."

    Burn down the entire city of Xiapi!

    Zhang Liao was taken aback and hurriedly unfolded the secret order to take a closer look. Sure enough, as Lu Meng said, Yan Liang's order was to burn Xiapi City down.

    Yan Liang wanted to use a fire to burn the most prosperous and affluent city in Xuzhou to ashes as the bloodiest revenge against Guan Yu and Liu Bei.

    Yan Liang also wants to leave a mark on the hearts of Xuzhou people, making them deeply afraid of Yan Liang's killing power.

    Only in this way, when he takes Xuzhou north in the future, can he frighten the people of Xuzhou who are helping Liu Bei.

    And Yan Liang also knew that Zhang Liao had an old relationship with Guan Yu, so he would be reluctant to burn down Xiapi City, which would hurt Guan Yu's face. Therefore, Yan Liang gave Lu Meng this secret order in advance.

    Zhang Liao did not dare to disobey the secret order, so he had no choice but to obey.

    So, that night, Zhang Liao ordered his soldiers to drive out all the residents of Xiapi, and then set fire to the whole city of Xiapi.

    After setting the fire, before dawn, Zhang Liao, Lu Meng, and a thousand cavalry withdrew towards the west of the sea.

    Half a day later, Guan Yu, who traveled day and night, finally led his army of more than 10,000 people and arrived at Xiapi City.

    But what Guan Yu saw was a city in ruins that had been burned to the ground. The thick smoke that had not dissipated seemed to be mocking his Shanshan's late arrival.

    Guan Yu was angry, so angry that his face turned red until it turned purple, and his eyes almost burst out of their sockets.  (To be continued.)
