"They know they were outmaneuvered and utterly crushed by superior force. They sit in their cells, quiet and brooding, causing no trouble for the guards. They are simply waiting for the victor to decide their fate. If approached correctly, many of them possess the pragmatic mindset required to bend the knee to a new dynasty."
Zhang Liao paused, a deep frown creasing his scarred forehead. "However, the calm does not extend to the inner circle. The absolute core of Cao Cao’s military apparatus is rejecting their captivity with extreme prejudice. Specifically, Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun are causing catastrophic trouble."
Lie Fan’s eyebrows rose slightly. "Elaborate."
"Xu Chu," Zhang Liao sighed, shaking his head in a mixture of deep frustration and genuine, awe struck martial respect. "The man they call the ’Tiger Fool’ does not comprehend the concept of defeat. He believes he is merely temporarily detained from protecting his lord. When he awoke from his battle injuries three days ago and realized he was in a Hengyuan cell, he went into a state of absolute, berserker frenzy."
Zhang Liao leaned forward, emphasizing the sheer absurdity of the situation. "He did not look for a key. He did not ask for a guard. He simply grabbed the solid iron bars of his cell door and began to physically tear them out of the masonry with his bare hands. He completely shattered the hinges, tore the iron from the stone, and severely injured eight heavily armed guards who attempted to subdue him in the corridor."
Lie Fan’s eyes widened slightly. Even knowing the legends of Xu Chu’s monstrous strength, hearing it confirmed in such a visceral manner was staggering.
"How was he contained?" Lie Fan asked, genuinely curious.
"It required the deployment of our absolute elite," Huangfu Song interjected, his aged face a mask of grim respect. "The standard guards were entirely useless against him. We had to summon General Zhao Yun, General Ma Chao, and General Taishi Ci down into the prison to help simultaneously."
