He had no choice but to use the Fourth Stage Mighty God Sword Seal here.
After Lu Bu's death, Zhao Yun was basically the number one general of the Three Kingdoms. It was not a waste to use this precious Rank B Gold Item on him.
It was a pity that Bai Xiaowen did not want to take advantage of the situation to kill Zhao Yun. The reason was the same as when he faced Guan Yu.
Li Shuyi did not want to kill Zhao Yun either.
After Zhao Yun fell off his horse, Li Shuyi ordered his soldiers to rush forward and tie him up. When Han Meng and the others saw that Li Shuyi had taken the credit, they did not attack Zhao Yun anymore.
Han Meng and the others did not hate Li Shuyi. They all knew that Li Shuyi was Bai Xiaowen's trusted subordinate. It was hard to say what the relationship between the two of them was.
Taking a step back, there were two other targets who had a higher status than Zhao Yun. Zhang Fei was Liu Bei's sworn brother and Liu Bei was even more so.
Without Zhao Yun, Liu Bei could not break through the Yuan army's encirclement. Even if he had the Hidden Dragon Technique, he could not use it if he did not have a way to escape.
Liu Bei could only take out his twin swords and kill the enemy himself. It was worth mentioning that his martial strength was not low. He danced with his twin swords on his horse. The Yuan soldiers could not even get close to him. Han Meng went up to Liu Bei but he could not take him down.
Liu Bei could not defeat Han Meng. After a feint, he ran away.
Wei Yan, who was in front of him, urged his soldiers to intercept him. Liu Bei scolded, "Traitor! How can you face the world?!"
Wei Yan was ashamed and did not say anything. He abandoned Liu Bei and led his troops to capture Zhang Fei.
However, this was Liu Bei's last battle performance.
Cecilia shot a sniper arrow and killed Liu Bei's famous horse, Lu. The winged cavalry under her all charged forward and circled around Liu Bei, trapping him in the middle.
Liu Bei had no choice but to be restrained.
Zhang Fei and Zhang San fought for more than a hundred rounds, but it was still difficult to determine the victor. However, as the other generals of the Yuan army came to help, Zhang Fei was also unable to do much on his own.
Zhang Fei was a Lord with Strength as his main strength and Vitality as his secondary strength. Agility was his weakness.
Being surrounded by so many Generals, Zhang Fei could not hold his ground. His HP continuously decreased, and very soon, he was heavily injured. He fell off his horse and was captured by Zhang He's personal soldiers.
The other generals and leaders of Liu Bei's army were also captured. Without their commander, Liu Bei's soldiers lost their fighting spirit and knelt down to surrender.
Bai Xiaowen issued an order to stop killing indiscriminately and accept the surrendered troops.
In the end, other than the fleeing Jingzhou soldiers, Bai Xiaowen also obtained four to five thousand Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered.
At this point, Liu Bei's army had lost everything! The alliance between the Sun Liu Empire and the Sun Liu Empire had also become a bubble.
Bai Xiaowen looked at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, who were tied up tightly, and felt smug.
However, now was not the time to be complacent.
Amongst the captured generals, Bai Xiaowen found Ba Prefecture Governor Yan Yan and tried to persuade him to surrender.
Yan Yan had a lot of prestige in Ba Prefecture, and he could be considered the main switch along the way. If he could make him surrender, he could save a lot of effort.
Yan Yan was not willing to surrender and said, "If I surrender to Liu Bei and then the Yuan Family, won't I be laughed at by the world?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "If you surrender to me, you will be submitting to the Imperial Court. I am about to unify the world, and that is the trend. A gentleman knows what to do, so who will laugh at you? "
However, Yan Yan still shook his head and said, "I don't have many years left to live. Why don't I just die and leave my name behind?"
Bai Xiaowen could only speak with a hint of threat, "Even if Old General doesn't surrender, most of the 56 passes in Ba Commandery will be on the lookout. Those that resist stubbornly only cause me to waste a little more effort. When the time comes, the entire Ba Prefecture will belong to me. You don't care about the good fortune of your descendants and only think about your name. Isn't that too selfish? "
This sentence was exactly what Yan Yan wanted to hear. He lowered his head and did not say anything.
Bai Xiaowen personally untied Yan Yan and said, "I will not mistreat your family. I hope you will think about it."
Yan Yan could only sigh and kneel down to surrender. Bai Xiaowen then conferred him the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Bai Xiaowen called Wei Yan, "In the chaos, I saw you let Liu Bei go. Why did you do that? "
Wei Yan lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Bai Xiaowen said, "You didn't listen to military orders, so you should be beheaded. However, considering that you are a newly surrendered general, it is normal that I can't bear to face your old master. Next, I will give you another order. You must complete it without any hesitation. "
Wei Yan's spirit was lifted, "I will do anything!"
Bai Xiaowen said, "Zhuge Liang mobilized the remaining troops of Jingzhou to rescue Liu Bei. Sun Ce of Jiangdong also gathered most of his troops at Hefei. The nine prefectures of Jingzhou are empty except for Liu Biao's orphan and widow. It can be said that they are ownerless. I order you to lead three thousand elite troops to take the land route of Ba Prefecture and attack Xiangyang at night! Yan Yan will open the passes along the way for you. "
This kind of order to enter the enemy's territory alone and obtain great merit was to Wei Yan's liking. He quickly bowed and accepted the order.
Someone was unhappy with Wei Yan and advised, "Duke Of Yan, Wei Yan is one of the surrendered generals of Jingzhou. It is not appropriate to suddenly give him such an important task without restraint."
Someone else said, "If after Wei Yan takes over Jingzhou, he has thoughts of taking over Jingzhou. What should we do?"
Everyone's words made Wei Yan's expression change drastically. He quickly pointed to the sky and swore, "I swear that I will take over Jingzhou for the Duke Of Yan. If I have any thoughts of taking over Jingzhou, I will die under lightning! "
Bai Xiaowen nodded and smiled, "I will not doubt the people I use. You may go! "
After Wei Yan led his troops and left, Bai Xiaowen said to the generals, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Wei Yan is not a short-sighted person. After seeing the might of our army, he should understand the situation of the world. He will not be able to take over Jingzhou and become independent. Even if he does, Wei Yan is not popular and will not be able to defend the city. When our army sweeps through Jingzhou, everyone will submit to us. "
The reason why Wei Yan was chosen was because of his identity as a surrendered general of Jingzhou. He knew Jingzhou well and would be able to complete the mission of taking over Xiangyang in the most efficient way.
If it were Zhang He or other generals, they would need to spend at least twice the amount of troops and time.
Next, Bai Xiaowen would need to take over Xichuan and make Liu Zhang submit. Naturally, he could not send an army to take over Jingzhou. Letting Wei Yan lead three thousand troops to carry out this mission was the best choice.
Bai Xiaowen then ordered the three armies to be heavily rewarded. Li Yan and Zhang Song, who came to help, were also given the title of Marquis.
Li Yan was still hesitating whether to accept it. Zhang Song persuaded him, "With your intelligence, can't you see the destiny of the world? Liu Zhang is already at the end of his days. His life and death are in the hands of the Duke Of Yan. If you reject the title of Marquis because of Liu Zhang, wouldn't you be giving up wine for chaff? "
Li Yan bowed and thanked him, "Listening to your words is like seeing the clear sky." Thus, he accepted Bai Xiaowen's reward and knelt down to thank him.
Bai Xiaowen ordered people to go to the ruins of Fushui Pass to summon Zhuge Liang and receive Han Xu's reinforcements. He also sent people to Bazhong to bring Guan Yu over.
As for Bai Xiaowen, he prepared the army and headed to Chengdu.
