"Gentlemen, since the Duke of Qin has made it clear, let us surrender."
Huang may die, but your lives, your wives and children, and your elderly parents still need to be supported.
"Duke of Qin, I hope you will treat these unfortunate people kindly. As for my life, you may take it."
All the golden soldiers, their hands trembling as they gripped their weapons, helplessly lowered them at that moment.
They wept, they shed tears of blood.

"Hehe, Huang Shao, what you say doesn't count, what I say counts!"
