Huang Gai was the most shocked by Guan Yu's death.
The trussed up Huang Gai's face grew darker when he saw Guan Yu's head. The Inhuman Overlord before him was truly merciless.
He killed without batting an eyelid.
Huang Gai was worried that he would be asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"
If he shook his head, his head would roll to the ground.
Even a veteran like Huang Gai couldn't take it anymore. He was ready to surrender.
As long as there's life, there's hope.
Huang Gai did not want to end up like Guan Yu, who had his head chopped off cleanly.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Shuo didn't ask whether Huang Gai surrendered or not. Instead, he smiled and said apologetically, "Lu Su and the others are currently being held in prison. Old General, I'll have to trouble you to stay with them for now!"
Ouyang Shuo cupped his hands slightly.
When Huang Gai saw this, he felt a chill run down his spine. This person's face changing technique was truly one of the best in the world. He'd just beheaded Guan Yu, and now he was putting on an act of "respecting the wise".
Even so, Huang Gai was inwardly pleased. He and Guan Yu were both prisoners of war, but the difference in treatment was like heaven and earth. Didn't this mean that Huang Gai was more favored?
It had to be said that the ancients were very fond of "respecting the wise".
Huang Gai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and his anxious heart finally calmed down a little. It seemed that they'd escaped for the time being. Lu Su and the others were still alive. Huang Gai's despairing thoughts were instantly revived.
Twenty minutes later, Huang Gai met Lu Su, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Gan Ning in the Dragon Head Prison. The five generals looked at each other, then at each other. In the end, they could only smile wryly.
The River East Navy had been wiped out in one fell swoop!
The five of them were brothers in the same boat.
The appearance of the cannons taught Lu Meng and the other generals a vivid lesson. In the face of such a great killing weapon, they had almost no ability to fight back. Their defeat was inevitable.
"I wonder how the war is going on with the governor," Lu Su sighed.
They'd been treated like honored guests for the past few days. Unfortunately, the defeated generals weren't in the mood to enjoy themselves. They'd been worrying about the war in the River East.
When he saw Huang Gai, he was even more worried.
Zhou Yu's army was the only turning point.
"Don't worry, the governor is a godly man. He'll crush that traitor!" Gan Ning was Zhou Yu's biggest fan.
"I hope so!"
Lu Su wasn't as optimistic as Gan Ning. He was keenly aware that the mutants were the main characters in this battle. The direction of the war was no longer dictated by the will of the natives.
In fact, this was the norm in later battles. In the second half of the third year of Gaia, the Overlords of the wilderness that gradually rose to power were about to wield greater authority.
The Battle of Chibi was a watershed.
The Inhuman army far outnumbered the natives, so they naturally wouldn't be at the mercy of the natives.
The Chibi ambush was planned by Xiong Ba and the others from the very beginning. After that, he just went through the formalities and informed Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Huang Gai, and the others. He didn't ask for their opinions at all.
As the battle progressed, Lu Su and Huang Gai had to cooperate with the mutant army and rush to Chibi.
As a result, the ambush that Xiong Ba and the rest of them had carefully designed came to an abrupt halt in Shanhai City's unconventional decapitation operation before it was carried out. Lu Su, Huang Gai, and the rest of them were also trapped.
If the plot had continued, even Liu Bei would have fallen into the trap.
The natives had been in a passive position throughout the entire process. They could no longer control the overall situation. They could no longer act as they had in previous battles, where the mutant army could only support them.
Even the impending Battle of Jiangling was the same.
The decisive battle was actually a confrontation between the mutant armies. Be it Zhou Yu from Sun Liu's camp or Cao Cao from Cao Cao's camp, all of them played the role of a commander.
At this moment, Zhou Yu had no choice but to attack Jiangling.
Di Chen could command the mutant army and attack Jiangling on his own. To tell the truth, Di Chen didn't think much of Zhou Yu's army of tens of thousands.
This was the helplessness of the natives.
Zhou Yu and the others had been coerced.
In a sense, Cao Cao's agreement to resist Zhou Yu's army at Jiangling was also the result of Ouyang Shuo's influence. Even without Xiahou Ying, Ouyang Shuo had other ways to achieve his goal.
The mutant representatives on the battle map were becoming more and more prominent.
This was the embryonic form of a future leader.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the mutant representatives had enough prestige among the lords participating in the battle. Whether it was Ouyang Shuo or Di Chen, both of them obviously fulfilled this condition.
The only hidden danger was that Cao Cao's mutant army was without a leader after Ouyang Shuo left Jiangling. With the interference of South of Rosy Clouds and the others, the situation had become even more complicated.
Both Baihua and Feng Qiuhuang were unable to control the situation.
This was something that Ouyang Shuo had overlooked.
Even if Ouyang Shuo had thought of it, he had no other way. If Ouyang Shuo wasn't there to oversee the battle at Dajiang, Zheng He and Jia Xu, who were unfamiliar with each other, would have been unable to predict what would have happened.
Dragon Head, war room.
Zheng He and Jia Xu were in charge of the aftermath, so there was no need for Ouyang Shuo to worry. After sending off Huang Gai, Ouyang Shuo met with the Siege Lion alone. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward the moment they met.
"Big Brother!" The Siege Lion hesitated.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at the Siege Lion and said frankly, "You chose Sun Liu's camp. To be honest, I didn't expect this before the battle started. "
"Big Brother, this …" The Siege Lion wanted to explain.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "You don't need to explain. I've already said that it's up to you to choose which camp you want. I won't interfere. The only thing I'm unhappy about is why didn't you inform me beforehand? "
Ouyang Shuo was the leader of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas. He was their big brother. The Siege Lion and the others had chosen different camps. They should have informed Ouyang Shuo in advance so that he could be prepared.
Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't have been caught off guard.
When he was in Jiangling, Ouyang Shuo could clearly feel that Feng Qiuhuang, Baihua, and the others were dissatisfied with the Sieging Lion and the Seeking Dragon Acupoint Master.
This was what Ouyang Shuo didn't want to see.
The Siege Lion was clearly stunned. A trace of guilt flashed across his face. He sincerely apologized, "Big Brother, I was wrong!" His careless personality had once again caused trouble for the team.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head. It was as if he was answering the Siege Lion, but also as if he was talking to himself. "You're not the only one who was wrong. These few years, we've been walking further and further on the road of power. I'm afraid we've already lost ourselves. Being addicted to power, indulging in ambition, and having an inflated ego, these are all sins. Since we've committed a sin, we have to bear it. "
These words were indeed spoken from Ouyang Shuo's heart.
The 'rebellion' of the Seeking Dragon Acupoint was not like what Ouyang Shuo had shown. It didn't affect him much. These thoughts had always been hidden in Ouyang Shuo's heart.
Only when he saw the Siege Lion did Ouyang Shuo express his feelings.
"Big Brother!"
The Siege Lion's eyes turned red from Ouyang Shuo's words.
"Do you still remember how frivolous we were back then? Do you still remember the promise we made back then? " Thinking of this, the Siege Lion immediately couldn't control his emotions. His eyes instantly became moist, and all the emotions he had accumulated burst out.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo remained silent.
The large guest room was immersed in a sorrowful atmosphere.
Two people with power faced their hearts and touched the forbidden area that they didn't want to touch the most.
Inside the forbidden area, it was a bloody and miserable scene.
To Ouyang Shuo, this was a rare experience. Until now, Ouyang Shuo couldn't clearly say how much of the reason he roped in the Seeking Dragon Acupoint Experts was because of friendship, and how much of it was because of benefits.
In his previous life, from the moment he was betrayed by his big brother Song Pu, the 'Two-Faced Asura' who believed in brotherhood had already died. What was left was a soul that no longer trusted.
This soul was like a lonely ghost that wandered in the desolate depths of his heart.
In this life, Ouyang Shuo could whitewash his brotherhood, he could disguise it as family, and he could embellish it with love. But in the end, he couldn't escape his endless pursuit of power and ambition.
Perhaps, only supreme power could make Ouyang Shuo feel a trace of security.
That kind of Ouyang Shuo was the real Ouyang Shuo.
Taking off the gorgeous clothes, what was left was only a miserable soul, a soul that staked everything on one throw, a soul that was no longer complete.
At the same time, it was also a lonely soul.
The only thing that didn't change was the affection he had for Bing 'er.
This purest familial affection became the only fulcrum that supported Ouyang Shuo step by step until now. Because of its pureness, there was no need to whitewash it, which made it even more powerful.
Some people said that every ruler who strives forward has a base in their heart, which is the source of all their power. The base in Ouyang Shuo's heart was this unchanging protection.
However, such a base was obviously not complete.
The trauma of the betrayal in his previous life had not really been healed with the passage of time. There was always such a knot in Ouyang Shuo's heart.
Until today, Ouyang Shuo was shocked to find that this knot had quietly grown into his inner demon.
If he didn't get rid of the inner demon, it would be difficult to become a true expert.
"It seems that after the war, I have to find time to completely cut off the inner demon of my previous life," Ouyang Shuo thought.
In the three years of playing the game, Ouyang Shuo seemed to have unconsciously and deliberately avoided contact with the [Liangshan Mercenary Group].
This was the inner demon.
It was a subtle and silent influence.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at the Siege Lion opposite him. It had grown up after all. It quickly collected its emotions and didn't really cry in front of Ouyang Shuo.
Speaking of which, Ouyang Shuo really had to thank this little brother today.
Otherwise, the deeper the inner demon was, the more terrifying it would be when it completely broke out one day.
