Chapter 918 Cao Cao also surrendered.

Chapter 918: 918 Cao Cao also surrendered.

Cai Mao led his troops to the governor’s mansion. Before him stood a man as imposing as an iron tower.

Wei Yan!

A man severely maligned by Luo Guanzhong, Wei Yan possessed both ability and strategy, but his conflict with Zhuge Liang led to his tragic death.

"You are Liu Biao?"

Wei Yan approached Liu Biao, looking at the frail old man. "It’s too late for you to surrender now!

You could have easily obtained a sinecure, but now you can only await His Majesty’s judgment.

Men, take him away. Be gentle, don’t kill him!"

"Thank you, General!"

Liu Biao was helped to his feet and thanked Wei Yan.

"Arrange a study for them to stay in. Keep them under good guard and do not neglect them."

Wei Yan added, pleased by Liu Biao’s submissive demeanor.

It was always the case that military men were looked down upon by civil officials.

Now that Jingzhou had been conquered, it was time for him to be promoted!

In the water fortress outside Xiangyang, Cao Cao, alone, poured himself a drink, his expression one of utter desolation.

He thought back to his days of conquering the Central Plains, how spirited and triumphant he had been; now, how utterly defeated he was.

He sat in his tent, sipping his wine.

At that moment, his son, Cao Zhi, entered. "Father," he said, "Xiangyang has fallen."

"Summon all the generals," Cao Cao ordered.

Cao Cao had once wanted to fight to the death, but that ambition was gone.

Besieged and imprisoned, a warlord stripped of his territory was no longer a warlord, but a bandit!

Soon, the few remaining generals arrived at the main tent.

Cao Cao, his face haggard, stood up. "Gentlemen," he said, "we are now at our wits’ end. Further resistance is futile. After my death, take my head, and I will guarantee your safety."

He then drew his sword.

"My lord!"

"Father!"

Cao Zhi immediately rushed forward, embracing Cao Cao tightly. "Father, you mustn’t!

In the Warring States period, defeat is defeat.

Even Yuan Shao lost, and now he’s a wealthy man in Ye City.

Why must you commit suicide, Father? You can always start over.

The King of Qin has sent letters many times, offering to let you live a wealthy life, based on our past friendship."

"Father!

Although Yuan Shao has lost, his family has survived.

Ju Shou and Gao Lan are former officials of the Yuan family, now ruling their own territories.

Military strategy is unpredictable, victory is uncertain. The King of Qin has unified China; surrendering is not shameful.

Father, surrender!"

Cao Zhi naturally wouldn’t watch his father commit suicide; instead, he earnestly persuaded him.

"Yes, my lord, things have come to this, and the King of Qin is a magnanimous man.

You’ve spent half your life on the battlefield; now it’s time for you to enjoy your retirement!"

The strategist Xi Zhicai advised. No one wanted to admit defeat, but breaking out was impossible.

It was better to surrender; at least they could survive.

However, no one spoke of a comeback, because everyone knew it was impossible.

It was better not to mention it, to avoid embarrassment.

Cao Cao, of course, didn’t want to die.

It was just a show.

A hero wouldn’t die so easily, but surviving meant enduring even more pressure.

He didn’t know that Lu Ming occasionally brought Lady Liu to Yuan Shao’s room for sexual intercourse.

To have sex with his former wife in Yuan Shao’s room was a humiliation!

And Cao Cao had so many wives and concubines; if he truly survived, he would certainly face even more humiliation.

"Zhicai, go tell Guo Jia we surrender."

Cao Cao sat back down, his voice trembling as if his very backbone had crumbled.

"Yes, my lord!"

Xi Zhicai also breathed a sigh of relief. He had done more than enough for Cao Cao.

A subject can do so much; there’s nothing more.

Meanwhile, in Ye City, at a private workshop.

Lu Ming was standing on a basket beneath a hot air balloon, experimenting with it, his arm around Huang Yueying. Chains bound all around...

As the flames rose, the hot air balloon took flight.

Although kept at around five meters, it was still astonishing.

Huang Yueying was speechless with amazement. This incredible invention left her both shocked and thrilled, and filled with indescribable excitement!

Her fair face radiated astonishment...

And a unique charm of a young woman graced her brows.

At this moment, she gripped the edge, cautiously peering down. "Husband, this is amazing! We can actually fly!

We can fly, just like birds!

How amazing!"

"This is just the beginning. With further improvements, we can fly even in wind and rain!"

Lu Ming looked at his newlywed wife’s excited expression. Looking at her from the side, he could see some baby fat, making Huang Yueying appear even more voluptuous and charming.

His large hand grasped Huang Yueying’s waist, pulling up her skirt. "Wife, let’s do it here!"

"Ah! This!"

Huang Yueying felt this was a bit too conspicuous, but in her excitement, she couldn’t refuse Lu Ming.

Half-heartedly resisting, her panties were pulled down to her calves, and her husband impatiently grabbed her breasts from behind, kneading them through her clothes, causing her to gasp softly.

A surge of heat coursed through her lower body as a hot, throbbing penis thrust inside. Her brows furrowed instantly, but with the back-and-forth motion of the penis, her tightly knit, beautiful brows slowly relaxed, and her red lips began to emit alluring sounds.

He forcefully spread Huang Yueying’s thighs, propping himself up slightly so he could clearly see his penis entering and exiting her wet vagina. He picked up a pillow, placed it behind him, and then used his hands to grasp and knead her breasts that swayed constantly in front of him.

He lifted her breasts from below, grasping most of them, then kneading her nipples with his fingers.

This position of intercourse was Huang Yueying’s favorite—the penis thrusting deeply into her wet vagina, then violently withdrawing, and then thrusting in again.

The repeated sensation of being fucked brought her to the peak of orgasm once more.

"Waaah... Ah... Husband... No... Ah... Too... Deep... Ah..."

Huang Yueying collapsed into Lu Ming’s arms as soon as she finished speaking, her vaginal walls contracting and relaxing repeatedly.

Her vagina was working in perfect harmony with Lu Ming’s penis, sucking and releasing in rhythm.

Huang Yueying felt waves of tingling, numb, and soft pleasure overwhelm her reason, and she cried out loudly. Fortunately, Lu Ming covered her mouth, otherwise the sound might have reached the palace.

Holding Huang Yueying’s buttocks, he thrust rapidly into her wet vagina, and Huang Yueying desperately raised her plump buttocks to meet Lu Ming’s final thrusts.

After more than twenty wild thrusts, with a roar from Lu Ming, his penis gushed out streams of semen, filling her wet vagina, which Huang Yueying deeply felt as the powerful heat flowed within.

After experiencing waves of intense ecstasy and trembling, Huang Yueying’s wet petals continued to open and close, quivering.
