The palace, on the city wall.

Thousands of Gaochang soldiers watched with trembling legs as more and more Han soldiers approached outside the city.

Although King Ju Wenwu said nicely that there was no danger to his life, many of his comrades had died in a pool of blood along the way. It seemed that the Han people were not reasonable.

"Your Majesty, I think the situation seems a little bad. How about I go and communicate first?"

"For your safety, I will go through fire and water at all costs."

Although Ju Wenwu was also worried, the fact that the Han army did not launch a direct attack proved that there was still room for easing the situation.

Outside the city, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and Ma Dai stood side by side.

Looking at the King of Gaochang who was preparing for battle on the city wall, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ma Dai asked, "Generals, should we use courtesy first and then force, or should we just take them down directly?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "If we can get him to surrender voluntarily, and kneel down to celebrate when the lord ascends the throne, that would be good."

"At least the lord has more face."

Ma Chao clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes. The kings of dozens of small countries in the Western Regions were captured and brought to the Central Plains to celebrate the coronation ceremony for the Lord."

"This can be considered as our filial piety."

Ma Dai nodded, rode forward, raised his spear, and said in a loud voice: "Ju Wenwu, the palace has been surrounded, you have nowhere to go. Now drop your weapons, kneel down and beg for mercy, maybe you can survive. Otherwise, I will point my spear and turn everything into ashes."

Ju Wenwu's eyes sparkled with brilliance. He stood on the city wall with his head held high and said in a loud voice, "Huaxia is a great country that has always won over people with virtue. How could you offend Gaochang for no reason?"

"Even when the Han Dynasty was at its peak, they only asked us to cooperate with them in managing the Western Regions."

"Are you here to destroy Gaochang?"

"Even if we all die here today, countless people will rise up to resist you."

"As long as there is a Gaochang person, they will fight bravely and recklessly."

"Even if all the blood is shed, I will not be afraid."

"If you want us to surrender, you must agree to our three conditions."

At this point, not only Ma Dai knew that Ju Wenwu was a coward, but even Guan Yu and Ma Chao also knew this man's temper.

With a hint of sarcasm on his face, Ma Chao said, "You dare to negotiate terms when you are about to die? I think we should just kill him and put a knife to his neck. Only then will he know what fear is."

Ma Dai was eager to try and was about to step forward.

Guan Yu stepped forward with his sword drawn and said, "Tell me what the conditions are."

Ju Wenwu said: "First, our Gaochang Kingdom is willing to submit to China, but we have the right to autonomy, just like the Western Regions Protectorate before. We will cooperate with your policies, but you cannot interfere in our internal affairs."

"Secondly."

Before he could finish his words, Guan Yu laughed and said, "What if we don't agree?"

"Are you going to fight to the death?"

Ju Wenwu nodded heavily: "Of course!"

"I just said that Gaochang people are never afraid of death, so..."

Before he could finish his words, Guan Yu squeezed his legs tightly, leaped several feet, and slashed downward with the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand. Rich green energy poured out from the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, instantly transforming into a huge green dragon.

The green dragon exuded a terrifying aura, spinning back and forth in the sky, roaring loudly.

Just this strong majesty made all the Gaochang soldiers on the city wall tremble in their hearts and shake in their legs.

They felt like ants in front of the green dragon. As long as the green dragon came over, they would instantly disappear between heaven and earth.

Ju Wenwu was frightened. For the first time, he felt the terror of the Heavenly General.

In front of Guan Yu and the proud blue dragon, he was like a small boat in the ocean, which could capsize at any time.

"No, no...we can still talk."

Guan Yu sneered: "How dare you talk to me?"

"Qinglong Aoshi!!"

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand suddenly slashed forward.

The huge green dragon flew directly towards the city wall.

The breath of death enveloped Ju Wenwu's whole body. At this moment, he really felt the breath of death. He was scared and shouted loudly: "Spare my life."

Just as he roared, a green light penetrated his body. Ju Wenwu felt that the vitality in his body was completely extinguished at this moment. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and in addition to fear, he felt a deep regret in his heart.

But it was too late. From the moment he wanted to negotiate the terms, the outcome was already determined.

Hundreds of Gaochang soldiers around also felt a green light piercing through their bodies. They had no time to react at all and fell to the ground, deader than dead.

At the same time, the huge blue dragon collided with the palace wall, and the entire sky and earth were shaking constantly. Even the people several miles away could feel it clearly.

All the people felt like it was the end of the world and were trembling with fear from the bottom of their hearts.

There was a loud bang, and a huge knife mark split the city wall into two halves.

Hundreds of people, including Ju Wenwu, had been reduced to ashes. The rest of the Gaochang soldiers stood there in a daze, their eyes filled with fear.

"You still want to resist?"

"stand out!!"

At this moment, Guan Yu was like a god of war, standing tall and majestic.

After a brief silence, the Gaochang soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground: "We are willing to surrender!"

"We are willing to surrender!!"

As the sound of surrender resounded through the heaven and earth, Ma Dai looked at Guan Yu dully, with bitterness on his lips.

"General Guan, this..."

Guan Yu then remembered what he had promised Ma Dai, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'll give you one city next time."

"next time!!"
