Peaceful Invasion (Wu Conquering Jian Ye)

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

Lu Jun

Gah.. Now I'm horse-less... Then I'll make him, too! Jun yells and rolls to the side to avoid the horse and the sword. After he quickly gets up, he spins his body and his halberd and slashes at the enemy (or the horse, if the enemy attempts to block).

[Zhou Yu]

Summery: Lu Jun dodged to the side as the horse rears up. Unable to hit him since his horse has reared up the warlord is helpless as Lu Juns blow comes in. Now he is low to the ground it takes out the Warlords horse instead of him. This proves to be little better however as the dead horse collapses pinning the warlord under it. He cant move his legs now.

Warlord

"Arrrgh." The Warlord clamped his jaw shut to stifle his cry of pain. Pinned under his horse now he was as good as dead and he knew it. A cry of shock went up from the troops under his command clearly they never thought he would be beaten. He managed to retrieved his sword and held it ready to try and defend himself.

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

Lu Jun

Jun sliced through the horse's chest, cutting a gaping wound and killing it. It was dishonorable, but this man gave him no other choice. The dead horse pinned his opponent down, making his work much easier. He smacked away the sword with his halberd and called out to the now quiet streets of Jian Ye.

"Citizens and soldiers of Jian Ye! Your enemy commander has been.. Removed. Do not continue this fight, or you will all waste your lives. Instead, join our forces, or at least lay down your weapons. There is no point.."

Xun ran up to his father and hugged him.

"You did it, father.." Jun patted him on the head and smiled.

"Yes."

[Zhou Yu]

Zhou Yu halted his blow at the last second as he saw Lu Jun had prevailed over the warlord. As he knew he would, justice and Honor were the best guides. His sword had stopped an inch away from the killing the man he had been fighting moments before. But now he saw no need to kill the man he was not his enemy. He sheathed his blade and much to the mans utter amazements offered his hand to help the poor solider back to his feet. He could feel the eyes of the defeated men on him and so he treated them with respect and care so to win there trust. They could not rule Jian Ye without the support of the people and the guards that protected them. The solider accepted his hand as he pulled him to his feet.

"Well fought and well said Lu Jun. These men were bent to the will of an unjust man but now he has been defeated and shamed as a coward and tyrant there is no need for them to obey orders that were in wrong to start with. We are not the enemy of Jian Ye we are her Saviour." Zhou Yu said stepping up and putting a hand on Jun's shoulder in silent congratulation. He had taken a risk but so had they all he supposed. He could see all around them the enemy putting down there swords it was over for the moment. He turned to speak with Sun Ce although keeping his voice down now his advice was for the little conquered alone.

"Ce we should move on the palace now before the Governor can regain the trust of his men. Once he had been removed we can take over but i fear if we kill him when we do so we may alienate the people of this city. It may be best instead to just place him under house arrest at least until your father decides what to do with him." Zhou Yu advised as he looked around for a mount. They would want to waste no time walking at this point.

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

Jun turned to Zhou Yu, a friend of his son's and his lord's.

"Indeed. Let us gain control of this city, so that we may finally quell the unjust rule of the governor."

Xun looked around and noticed the nearby soldiers on both sides calmed by the short speech of his father's. They all had put down their weapons, and many sheathed them.

"I believe my father is right, though we need to be careful. There may be some guards still slightly loyal to their lord within the palace."

Jun smiled at his son. He could always count on him for being 'the brains' of the two.

OOC: When Sun Ce and/or Zhou Yu move ahead to the Palace, Jun follows with his halberd ready and Xun stays a little bit behind the group, being the weakest of the four.

[Sun Jian]

Sun Ce

Lu Jun had successfully defeated the Warlord, and had also calmed the streets of Jian Ye with his victor's speech. After things had died down, Zhou Yu came over and spoke to him quietly, which Ce answered with a nod, and answered back at the same volume so he could only hear, "Let's go get 'em Zhou Yu", before heading towards the Palace with Zhou Yu and Lu Jun behind him.

Once they approached the door, he turned to Zhou Yu with a smirk then turned to Lu Jun, "Check this out!", as he spun on his foot and kicked open the door. He laughed, then turned to them both again, "Wasn't that fun?",, before rushing towards Liu Yao, "Okay, one of us has to win this one."

[Zhou Yu]

Zhou Yu followed close behind Sun Ce as he kicked in the front door as he suspected his friend was apt to do in the situation. His sword whirling as he stepped into his usual place a step behind his brother watching his back. However his caution was not necessary it seemed the guards that were left had fled there posts already knowing they could not beat them or too scared to try. Really it seemed things were over but one man still had yet to bow to Wu first. His gaze followed Ce to the center of the room where stood one man dressed in the robed of a prefect. It had to be Liu Yao ruler of Jian Ye.

"Accept your defeat Lord, perhaps your life need not also be forfeit along with your city. You played your people to hard now you must face the consequences." Zhou Yu said holding his sword ready but not wanting to use it. Liu Yao really did not deserve to die as much as the might want to slay him after he set the warlord on them. Fear they said made irrational people out of the calmest men. Liu Yao raised his blade looking for a moment like he wanted to go out the Hero he depicted himself as. But he lacked the resolve as Sun Ce closed with him he dropped his blade and fell to his knees.

"I am beaten, the city is yours. Please stay your hand young warlord my life is not worth much any more." Liu Yao said bowing before the Wu officers in submission. Not a brave man then but a sensible one.

(Jian Ye officially falls to Wu)

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

Jun looked at the man with disgust. At least the man knew what was best for his life, even if he was selfish. He turned and promptly walked off to secure the rest of the city, and Xun staying behind to speak with Zhou Yu and Sun Ce...


Completed?

[Cao Cao]

Zhi Fang looked as Sun Ce left to go to the Palace. Zhi knew that he was not needed anymore, though he did stay to watch Lu Jun kill the Officer. The man was quite skilled, he would have to watch out for him in the future. Though Zhi was not afraid of him, because he knew a man twice as fearce and strong as Lu Jun was, and that was Zhi Fang's new lord, Cao Cao. Zhi Fang put his sword back into his scabard on his back, turned around, and ran towards his horse so he could quickly leave the city. This little battle reminded Zhi of all the good times he had with Wu, but he knew now that those times were over, and now his loyalties lied with Cao Cao, the man who he knew would unify all of China. And even though this was the third person Zhi thought could do this that he joined, he was still optimistic. Hey, third time is the charm right?

(Just posted to end things up with me. Sorry about not posting, I got a little behind and anyways I was not really important in this battle ^_^ Though thanks for having me!!)
