Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games
Chapter 337 Demanding ransom
When Feng Yi led everyone from Tianfeng Pavilion to rush to Chibi, the scene before them left everyone stunned.
What should have been a fierce battlefield, ablaze with the sounds of killing and the flashing of swords, was now utterly silent, as if it had never been touched by war. The empty camp was silent in the wind, the military flags swaying feebly in the breeze, as if telling the story of a silent farce.
Feng Yi's brows knitted into a frown, a strong sense of foreboding welling up in her heart. She swung her sword, its gleaming cold light gleaming, and shouted, "Search thoroughly! Leave no corner untouched!"
The monks of Tianfeng Pavilion quickly dispersed like a tide and launched a carpet search throughout Chibi.
However, after a busy period, they helplessly discovered that the entire Chibi was deserted and only a desolate area remained.
Feng Yi stared at the empty battlefield in front of him, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.
She was fully expecting to have a fierce battle with Liu Bei's defenders here, and then seize the map of Jingzhou's destiny and mountains and rivers in one fell swoop.
But now the Jingzhou luck formation has been withdrawn, and no one is resisting. It is like a heavy punch hitting cotton, making their attack lose its target in an instant and become meaningless.
"What the hell is going on? Where are all of Liu Bei's men?" Feng Yi roared in anger. The cultivators of Tianfeng Pavilion looked at each other in bewilderment, no one able to answer Feng Yi's question.
Their original ambitions and passions vanished in an instant, leaving behind only endless regret and resentment.
At this time, Chibi was in silence, as if silently mocking Feng Yi and others' futile journey.
After Zhou Yu realized that he had fallen into a trap, he was like a lit powder keg, pacing back and forth in the tent, jumping up and down, like an angry lion.
However, the emptiness of Jingzhou City was a rare opportunity for the Eastern Wu. They successfully took Jingzhou into their possession with almost no effort.
When Feng Yi arrived with the monks of Tianfeng Pavilion, Jingzhou had been firmly occupied by Zhou Yu's army. They could only stand in the distance, watching helplessly, unable to do anything.
The anger and unwillingness in Feng Yi's heart were like a surging tide, one wave after another, but he was helpless. He could only grit his teeth and stare at Jingzhou City fiercely, as if he wanted to penetrate it with his eyes.
At the same time, on the battlefield of Jiaozhou, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were like two sharp blades that could cut through iron like mud.
Guan Yu, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, rushed into the enemy camp like a ghost under the cover of night, like a dark killer.
Every time the sword fell, it was packed with a tremendous force. The enemy soldiers fell down like wheat being cut, and blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the ground beneath their feet red.
Zhao Yun led the Jingzhou cavalry, like an unstoppable black torrent. Wherever they went, the enemy's defense line collapsed instantly.
The two men, one in the open and one in the dark, attacked on two fronts with perfect coordination, leaving Jiaozhou's defensive forces dizzy.
After a fierce battle, Jiaozhou was finally successfully captured by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.
The people in the city were a little frightened when they saw that they had a new master, but when they saw that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were strict in managing the army and did not harm the people in the slightest, their worries gradually dissipated.
Back in the Nanzhong battlefield, Lü Meng was already in dire straits. His army had long been exhausted and morale was extremely low after being constantly ambushed and harassed by Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi.
Just as Lu Meng was struggling to hold on, an urgent news came like a bolt from the blue - Jiaozhou had been captured by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.
Lü Meng's hands trembled slightly as he held the battle report, his face filled with shock and despair. He knew full well that the fall of Jiaozhou meant the complete disruption of his own strategic layout, not only endangering his rear supply lines but also putting him in a desperate situation where he was attacked from all sides.
Lü Meng knew he had no way out, and a feeling of tragedy and heroism welled up in his heart. He waved his weapon and shouted loudly to encourage his soldiers to make a final resistance.
However, under the fierce attack of Liu Bei and others, Lu Meng's army gradually became unable to cope.
Although Lu Meng fought hard, he was ultimately unable to withstand the powerful offensive of the Shu army and was eventually killed on the battlefield. A generation of famous generals fell, leaving behind only his once glorious record and a sad ending.
The Troublemaker of the Three Kingdoms and the Forgetful Scholar were frightened on the battlefield and fled everywhere like two headless flies, desperately looking for a chance to escape.
But how could Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi let them go so easily? After a chase, the two were finally captured by Xue Tianhan and his team.
When he was captured for disrupting the Three Kingdoms, he kept shouting and cursing, trying to save his face with words, while the Forgetful Scholar had a depressed look on his face, as if he had lost all his energy.
Iron Horse and Ice River Ru Menglai, a player monk on Sun Quan's side, led a group of monks to retreat towards Jingzhou with difficulty under the full cover of Mo Wen's Legion.
The soldiers of Mo Wen's Legion were well aware of the arduous task, and each of them tried their best to use their bodies to build a Great Wall of flesh and blood to block the pursuit of the Shu army.
Tie Ma Bing He entered Meng Lai and while commanding the retreat, he was extremely anxious and kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield.
Finally, after paying a heavy price, they successfully retreated to Jingzhou.
At this time, Jingzhou City had been occupied by Eastern Wu.
When Zhou Yu saw Tiema Binghe Rumenglai and others, although he was a little dissatisfied with their defeat in this battle, he still received them politely considering their identity as monks and the relationship with Sun Quan behind them.
Zhou Yu said, "Although you have not achieved your goal this time, you have had a difficult journey. I, the Eastern Wu, will not treat you unfairly."
Although Tiema Binghe Rumenglai and others were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept this reality.
They settled down temporarily under Zhou Yu's arrangement. While recuperating and recovering their physical strength and magic power in Jingzhou City, they exchanged tactics with the generals of Eastern Wu, hoping to contribute more to Sun Quan's cause and avenge their previous humiliation in subsequent battles.
At this time, on the battlefield of Hanzhong, Zhang Fei was leading the Shu army in a bitter battle with the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Zhang Lu.
Although Zhang Fei was extremely brave, the enemy troops were numerous and came in a fierce force, and the Shu army gradually found it difficult to resist.
At this critical moment, Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi received the news and rushed to support.
As soon as Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi arrived at the battlefield, they were like tigers among a flock of sheep, instantly disrupting the enemy monks' formation.
Xue Tianhan cast a powerful spell, and rays of light shot towards Shi Potianjing and others like lightning. Wherever they went, the enemy troops retreated.
Xiao Qi held the Yitian Sword and fought Zhang Lu to a standstill.
With their support, Zhang Fei was greatly encouraged. He roared angrily, wielded the Zhangba Snake Spear again, and rushed towards the enemy army frantically.
When Zhang Lu and others saw Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi, they knew that the opportunity had passed. With the Shuzhong Qiyun formation in place, they could not do anything to Xue Tianhan and others, so they withdrew.
After Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi successfully captured Troublemaker Three Kingdoms and Forgetful Scholar, they initially did not take the two captives seriously and only regarded them as a minor episode in the chaos.
Blunt Knife smiled and suggested, "Tianhan, these two are big names in the game, they must be very wealthy. Why don't we ask them for a ransom?"
Xue Tianhan nodded in agreement and brought Xiao Qi to the tent where Troublemaker San Guo and Forgetful Scholar were imprisoned.
Seeing Xue Tianhan coming in, the troublemaker from the Three Kingdoms continued to curse: "Xue Tianhan, don't be so arrogant. Wait until I get out, and I'll make you pay!"
Xue Tianhan sneered: "Just you? Now you are my prisoner. Let me tell you, if you want to keep your lives, you must pay enough ransom."
Upon hearing this, Troublemaker Three Kingdoms and Forgetful Scholar's expressions suddenly changed. Forgetful Scholar asked in a trembling voice, "How much ransom do you want?"
Xue Tianhan held up three fingers and said firmly, "Three million spirit stones, not a cent less."
"Three million spirit stones! You are asking for too much!" shouted the troublemakers of the Three Kingdoms.
Xue Tianhan ignored his shouting and continued, "I'll give you half a day to prepare the ransom. If you don't pay by then, you'll lose your head."
After saying that, Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi turned around and left the tent, leaving Troublemaker Three Kingdoms and Forgetful Scholar looking at each other in horror.
Meanwhile, in Jingzhou City, Zhou Yu was busy consolidating the Eastern Wu's rule over Jingzhou. He knew that although the occupation of Jingzhou seemed smooth, it was actually fraught with danger.
Although Liu Bei gave up Jingzhou, he annexed Jiaozhou, which originally belonged to them, and Feng Yi's Tianfeng Pavilion forces were also eyeing them covetously.
Zhou Yu summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures. He frowned and said, "Liu Bei gave up Jingzhou but seized Jiaozhou. We must respond quickly. Furthermore, Feng Yi's Tianfeng Pavilion has long coveted the Jingzhou Qiyun Shanhetu. They will never give up."
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "General, the Iron Horse and the Frozen River appeared in my dream and asked to see you."
Zhou Yu nodded and signaled the soldiers to bring him in.
Iron Horse and Ice River entered the dream and saluted Zhou Yu, saying, "General, we are deeply ashamed of our failure in this battle. However, we are willing to serve the Eastern Wu to atone for this mistake."
Zhou Yu watched the iron cavalry and icy river come into his dream and said, "This defeat is not entirely your fault. The situation is complicated now, and it would be a good thing if you could help Dongwu. I plan to send you to inquire about Feng Yi's movements, so please be careful."
Iron cavalry appeared in his dream, and he took his orders. Zhou Yu cast his gaze towards Jiaozhou, thinking to himself, "Liu Bei, what are you planning on doing by trading Jingzhou for Jiaozhou? I will not let you succeed so easily."
In Jiaozhou, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were busy pacifying the people and consolidating their gains. Guan Yu said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, our lord has ordered a surprise attack on Jiaozhou. It may seem risky, but it's actually a brilliant move. But we still need to be wary of a counterattack from the Eastern Wu."
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "General Guan is absolutely right. I have already arranged for the soldiers to step up their guard to prevent any unforeseen events."
At this point, the situation in the Three Kingdoms becomes even more complex and confusing. Xue Tianhan awaits the ransom from the forces behind the disruption of the Three Kingdoms and the Forgetful Scholar, Zhou Yu plots a strategy against Liu Bei and Feng Yi, while Guan Yu and Zhao Yun prepare for battle in Jiaozhou.
All parties are looking for their own opportunities in this chaotic battle, and a bigger storm seems to be brewing quietly.
