Chapter 98

Han Zhong and Sun Xia looked at each other, nodded, and immediately gave the order to retreat toward the North Gate without the slightest hesitation.

They did not drag their feet in the slightest.

In less than half an hour, they had already exited the North Gate and fled eastward.

Su Xuan, meanwhile, waited for Huang Zhong and the others to transport the treasure away before leading his army to strike at the South Gate.

Coordinating with Qin Jie and his massive army outside the city, and using Zhang Mancheng's severed head as a tool to induce surrender, they successfully captured the South Gate in just a few hours.

They forced tens of thousands of Huang Jin soldiers to surrender and simultaneously beheaded the rebel leader Zhao Hong.

Afterward, they turned their attention to the East Gate and, coordinating with Xu Qiu, captured it as well.

Finally, they swept through the entire Wancheng, and it was not until after nine o'clock the next morning that they finally cleared out the Huang Jin soldiers in the city and recaptured Wancheng.

"Haha! This time, we truly owe it all to General Su!"

"Without you, we wouldn't know when we would have been able to take this Wancheng!"

At the victory banquet, Qin Jie, Xu Qiu, and the others enthusiastically toasted Su Xuan repeatedly to express their gratitude.

With Wancheng in hand and Zhang Mancheng beheaded, their hearts were finally at ease.

Qin Jie's position as Administrator was now secure.

Zhao Ci and Xu Qiu also had significant contributions, and they expected the imperial court would provide rewards that would satisfy them.

"You are all too kind! It was the result of everyone's joint efforts!"

Su Xuan replied with a smile.
