The big man is on the run

Chapter 46 The Dragon Slayer Boy Becomes a Dragon
"These are rebels, I will take them all!"

At the middle gate of the camp, a group of soldiers poured out in a hush, and it was hard to see how many people there were in the dark night.

But listening to the breathtaking sound of swords and soldiers rubbing against each other, and the gusts of wind and chills from the nail leaves, is enough to make people understand.

This group of soldiers is completely opposite to the young and strong refugees on the school field who are thinly clothed and only have wooden spears and shields.

The young and strong refugees became more and more flustered, and some of these recruits even wanted to flee directly from the gate.

"Crack!"

Hu Che'er, who led the team to guard the gate, held down the recruit who rushed into his arms with both hands without hesitation, and with a little force, twisted his head like twisting a wine cork.

The refugee Qing Zhuang kept silent, looking at the Habayashi guards guarding the gate, and at the old soldiers of the Northern Army pouring out of the middle gate, at a loss as to what to do.

They don't know whether to go forward or go backward.

There was the sound of swords and armor blades colliding with the whistling night wind in my ears, and beside me was the panic-stricken Pao Ze who joined the army just to eat a full meal.

Let's call it Pao Ze.

"Pfft!"

Some refugees forgot their identities, dropped their wooden guns and knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Let us go back! We are not rebels!"

Xia Yu, who rushed out from the middle gate with his troops, looked coldly at the refugees and the imperial army who were surrounded. He didn't see any big figures on the general platform, they were all officers of the imperial army.

This can't help but make him feel a little pity, and he still wants to see the blood of the ministers.

"Tuk!"

To Xia Yu's surprise, in the darkness, the person who stood very far ahead on the stage unexpectedly shot down the refugees who kowtowed and begged for mercy with their bows and arrows.

"You are soldiers, you are going to die, and die standing up."

"Whoever throws away the weapon, I will kill him!"

At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly realized something. He took off the bow from behind his back, but his thumb was trembling unceasingly.

"The emperor is here, what do you want to do!"

As Liu Yi shouted loudly, Habayashirou and Hubenrou beside him also yelled together.

The veterans of the Northern Army were shocked. They looked at General Xia Yu who was holding a bow in his hand.

"General Xia?"

There was an old soldier who had been a small school since the Yellow Turban era, and even stood in front of Xia Yu involuntarily.

"General, that's the Son of Heaven! Don't make a big mistake!"

"I know it's the Son of Heaven."

Xia Yu lowered his head, and all the old soldiers of the northern army around him breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation at night was unclear, and it was a normal reaction for them to organize the army, but if they knew that the emperor was in front and made a mistake, it would be really disloyal and unrighteous.

General Xia Yu, who was temporarily transferred to be the commander, was not in the Northern Army system although he was well-known for his military exploits. These fine old soldiers would never rebel with him.

At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly exerted his strength and pushed away the old pawn who was standing in front of him.

He was nearly fifty years old, and at this time, without shaking his hands or blinking his eyes, he bent his bow and set up an arrow and shot straight at the emperor on the stage.

"call out!"

The sound of howling arrows came in an instant.

"Crack!"

Sparks flashed, and the long sword in front of Liu Yi unexpectedly cut off the arrowhead between the electric light and the flint under the dim moonlight!
Lao Wang put away his sword, and Xia Yu not far away was already buried under him like an arhat by the old soldiers of the Northern Army.

"Xia Yu."

Liu Yi looked at the old general who was kidnapped by Wuhuada and took him to the general platform, feeling a little puzzled.

"It stands to reason that you should be the last to rebel."

"Pooh!"

Xia Yu knelt on the cold earthen platform, just spat and held his head up in silence.

"It seems that you are not afraid of death." Liu Yi became interested at this time, "Let's talk, I never thought that the chaos would be quelled so quickly, and all the troops in the city were not affected. Now that the night is long, the city has also taken precautions , It’s still a long time before Guo Si arrives, it’s a bit boring for you to kneel here or I cut you down with a knife.”

"say what?"

Xia Yu snorted coldly, his messy gray hair hanging down in front of his eyes.

"How much benefit did Guo Si give you? It shouldn't be too low for a national general like you to respond to him, right? I know that Guo Si didn't go through Li Jue this time, and the gold he gave directly to Hu Miao was all about car loading. of."

"Guo Si didn't give me a penny."

"That would make no sense."

Liu Yi sat on the wooden box with great interest, and looked at Xia Yu.

"You are a general of the country. You have served as the prefect and the coach of the whole road. You are not for money. If Guo Si wanted to come, he would not be able to give you a title. If you risk your life, you should give him an internal response. What is the plan? People have to have What do you want?"

"Don't tell me, you think Guo Si has the appearance of a hero, you are a bird choosing a good tree to live in."

"Hahahaha!"

Xia Yu looked at nearly a thousand veterans, young adults, and guards around the platform, and laughed loudly.

Liu Yi didn't ask the question "Why are you laughing", but just looked at Xia Yu seriously, waiting for him to give an answer.

When he heard about Xia Yu's life experience, he had some uneasy guesses about this answer, but when it became a fact, Liu Yi still couldn't help but want to hear the so-called truth of the person involved.

"I say it out, I'm afraid that people who hear it in the future will be alienated from you!"

"Let's talk." Liu Yi responded indifferently, "I am not afraid, what are you afraid of for me?"

Xia Yu sneered and said with his head raised.

"I did this kind of thing not because I took advantage of Guo Si, but because I have been in the army for more than [-] years, and I am used to the stupidity and meanness of your Liu family!"

When the people around heard the words, all of them changed color, and Zhong Yao even copied a bunch of rags that he didn't know where to find, trying to gag Xia Yu's mouth.

"Let him speak!"

Liu Yi raised his head to look at the moon, and said calmly: "Right and wrong, history books have their own opinions, if you blocked Xia Yu's mouth today, can you still block everyone's mouth tomorrow?"

Xia Yu's expression was a little startled, but it was only for a moment.

Immediately, his old face became ferocious, and he said in a hateful voice.

"I joined the army at Xia Yu's fifteenth year. After years of bloodshed, and being supported by Duke Duan, I became the prefect of the Northland before I was 30 years old."

"In the sixth year of Xiping, Xianbei Zhonglang general Tian Yan was about to be convicted of embezzlement of Mo's military salary. Tian Yan bribed the regular servant, and the Han army was defeated by the three routes in the north."

"Before the war, I strongly advocated to wait until next year to fight again, but your grandpa, that stupid king, ignored the timing, place and people, and obeyed the eunuch's words under the circumstances of few soldiers, food shortages, long supplies, bad weather, and unpreparedness, and insisted on going north. In the end, it caused a catastrophe, and I became a scapegoat because of this, and I lost my job to serve the people."

"Half-life accomplishments are ruined!"

Liu Yi's face remained unchanged as he stroked his sword, and actually nodded in agreement. He raised his index finger and talked eloquently in front of thousands of soldiers.

"First, Xianbei is dominated by cavalry, which is erratic, and it is not advisable to attack separately. You can let him come a few ways, only go to one place, and chase him with a large cavalry army to find an opportunity for a decisive battle."

After hearing this, Xia Yu unconsciously freed his tightly bound arms.

"Secondly, those who use soldiers don't know the weather and geography, and they will indeed make a big mistake."

"Third." Liu Yi stared intently, "Shouldn't he be punished if he loses his division and loses his army as a general?!"

"One Han is five Hu!"

Xia Yu gritted his teeth and roared: "If it weren't for your surname Liu being stupid and mean, how could those great men throw their lives in the Northland desert for nothing!"

"If it's true what you, the emperor, said, during the Xiping years, you bribed eunuchs and even the emperor himself to avoid punishment, so what is going on? I, Xia Yu, fought for more than ten years, and I was born and died to become the prefect of the Northland. Duan Gong Soldiers and horses can only be granted the title of marquis in their lifetime. When I returned to Chang'an, I saw that the prefect and the Marquis of the Guannei were all clearly marked with prices, selling officials to be nobles, what is the reason for this!"

"That's why." Liu Yi answered frankly, "The late Emperor was indeed a fool!"

Xia Yu opened his mouth wide, he didn't know what to say after hearing this.

Yeah, what else can I say?

This is not over yet, Liu Yi continued.

"He's still a foolish king who doesn't know how to fight. If one day I conquer Xianbei, I will definitely not go against the heavens. I will use some tricks of splitting up and attacking together, and Xianbei will be wiped out."

Liu Yi put down the sword in his hand and picked up Xia Yu's crushed bow.

"What else do you want to say?"

Xia Yu was silent for a moment, his body relaxed, but he spoke the truth.

"In the first year of Zhongping, I shouldn't be a captain protecting Qiang."

Liu Yi put the bowstring around Xia Yu's neck, and said in a low voice, "Gai Yuangu heard what you said, and I'm afraid you will die with peace."

"Xia Yu!"

Ignoring Xia Yu, who was like a sifter, Liu Yifu said loudly again: "The late emperor was so stupid that he misled the country, and the world was in a state of chaos. I, the one who takes over what he did, have to recognize it! I recognize it in the history books. Not a penny less!"

Xia Yu, who was shaking violently after listening to the whisper, managed to calm himself down after hearing this sentence, and gasped, as if he was praying or confirming.

"Do you agree?"

"recognize!"

"Xianbei can be flat?"

"can!"

Xia Yu suddenly stopped shaking, or in other words, the shaking was not so obvious.

"Your Majesty dares to come with your own hands?"

"dare."

"It's better than you. Grandpa." Xia Yu was struggling to breathe from being strangled by the bow string, his face was purple, but he still said slowly with his last breath: "It's a bloody burden."

Before he finished speaking, he lost his breath.

"The rebellious general Xia Yu, Ming Zhengdian punishes. If there is another person who understands Guo Si in his heart, he will be killed without pardon!"

Seeing the Son of Heaven who strangled Xia Yu with his own hands on the stage, no matter whether it was a confused young refugee or a veteran of the Northern Army who had been on the battlefield for many years, a sense of awe arose in his heart.

Liu Yi threw down his bow, and his heart, filled with mixed feelings, suddenly calmed down.

Xia Yu wholeheartedly begged for death, for an answer, and also for the emperor to give him a promise, so that the deeds of a man he had done in his life could be concluded.

Liu Yi gave it, and now it's time for him to move forward with this promise.

"The whole army, prepare for battle before dawn."

Liu Yi looked at the north, and his heart was full of blood.

Guo Si, come to fight!
The rebellious Qiang encircled the school captain Xia Yu to be a livestock officer, Xun joined forces with the prefectures and counties to rescue him, and went to Hupan, where he was defeated by the Qiang.

There were less than a hundred people in Xunyu, who had been wounded three times, sat still, pointed to the wooden watch and said, "Here is my corpse!"

Qiang general Dianwu defended the crowd with soldiers and said: "Gai Changshi is a sage, whoever you Cao kills will be a failure to heaven."

Xun Yang scolded and said, "If you die and rebel against captives, what are you doing? Come and kill me!"

The Qiang people looked at each other in surprise, and after a while, Dianwu dismounted and joined Xun, but Xun refused to mount, so he was held by the rebel Qiang.
