The big man is on the run

Chapter 56 It's My Duty!

Hearing the sound of "Long live" startling countless birds and roaring like a tsunami, Duan Yan's expression was slightly moved.

Even after such a distance, the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers still reached his ears.

"You actually won?" Duan Yan had a complicated look on his face.

"Won."

Jia Xu didn't even raise her eyelids, and the two of them watched the entire battle of Zheng County from the best viewing point, not knowing how difficult it was for the officers and soldiers to win.

The two sides persisted in the bloody battle to the end, until the coach did not have a single soldier available, and the surprise soldiers "arranged" by Zhu Jun went to the field to capture the flag.

"Using righteousness to win by surprise, he is worthy of being a famous general of the great man! I underestimated Zhu Gongwei."

Listening to Duan Yan's exclamation, Jia Xu's complexion was a little weird.

"It's not necessarily Zhu Gongwei."

"Who is that?"

Jia Xu didn't speak. He looked at the ant-like soldiers and the thumb-sized dragon's banner in the distance, and had some inexplicable thoughts in his heart.

Jia Xu was sure that if Long Yu went into battle, then there must be that daring emperor standing below him!
Leaving Chang'an, it is the dragon entering the sea, and the clouds and rain are not things in the pool.

"The official army can win this encounter. Wen He thinks that if the official army continues to advance eastward and passes by Huayin, shouldn't I make some gestures?"

Seeing Duan Yao's question, Jia Xu twirled his beard and murmured for a while, before replying: "You really should show some attitude. If you ask why you didn't go to the rescue, you won't be able to explain it in time, just prevaricate it. The general has five thousand elite soldiers in his hand." , even if the official army wins this time, their vitality will be seriously injured, and they will not do anything to you."

Duan Yan nodded in satisfaction, Jia Xu was very kind, and the plan he gave him was especially in line with his wishes.

But Duan Yan was still a little worried, and he asked again: "Wen He thought that the official army defeated Guo Si, so what should Li Jue do?"

"If Guo Bang's direct lineage still exists, it is natural to take advantage of Guo Bang's defeat, annex his wings, and then have a fight with Guo Bang."

Jia Xu didn't say what would happen if Guo Bang lost his capital, and what would happen if his capital disappeared. The generals of the Xiliang Army are very experienced in this.

"And then what?"

Duan Yanyou was dissatisfied. He had a complicated mentality. He neither wanted the army to be wiped out, nor did he want Li Jue and Guo Si to be overthrown.

Duan Yan is considered an outlier among the generals in Xiliang, um...how should I put it?If you describe it as an animal, the other generals are tigers, leopards and wolves, and the best description for Duan Yan is a shepherd dog.

Duan Yan's hobby is not killing, but farming in his own territory.

Replacing the big man and guarding the people is the best role positioning for Duan Yan.

He can't become a big man himself, and he is unwilling to be a sheep, so he can only guard his own territory, waiting for a big man who can calm the world to take him as a falcon dog, let him herd the sheep, and be a master comfortably for the rest of his life.

In history, the person Duan Yan waited for was Cao Cao.

He and Jia Xu were the only ones among the Xiliang generals who died well.

Speaking of the moment, Jia Xu didn't twist and turn, but said bluntly: "Although Guo Bang is defeated, Li Jue is strong and the army is weak. Without Guo Bang's restraint, once the balance of the three parties is broken, Li Jue will be defeated." On the contrary, it will become more unscrupulous, and maybe it will give birth to thoughts that shouldn't be there."

"Didn't he believe in destiny?"

Jia Xu simply stopped talking, that thing is like giving rewards to soldiers, its effectiveness decreases sharply over time.

Duan Yan also knew the effectiveness of this kind of thing, he continued to ask with some embarrassment.

"Wenhe, you and I are from the same hometown, and we are also close friends. Give me an idea, who should I stand with?"

When Jia Xu heard this question, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and blurted out: "No one will stand! The officers and soldiers passing by Huayin will send supplies if they are in need, but they can't give them away."

Duan Yan nodded in satisfaction, moved the palm next to the handle of the knife to the back of his waist, put one hand on his hip, and patted Jia Xu with the other hand, smiling heartily.

"Wenhe, you know me!"

Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, but the loosened palms in the sleeves were clenched tightly.

Then Duan Yan greeted Jia Xu to go down the mountain and return to Huayin as if nothing had happened, waiting for the officers and soldiers to pass by.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"My emperor. Do not sleep!"

Jiang Jiong stuttered and shouted, Liu Yi recognized the soldier with a spear in the crowd, and nodded to him deliberately, which made Jiang Jiong very excited.

Liu Yi, who was under the dragon banner, did not enjoy the joy of victory on the battlefield alone. He pulled the old man Zhu Jun over and lifted Zhu Jun's arm vigorously.

This honor should not be enjoyed by Liu Yi alone!
Zhu Jun, with old arms and legs, was almost dislocated by Liu Yi's violent pull. He still kept a serious face, curled his lips pretending to be dissatisfied, but there was some sweet joy in his heart.

Liu Yi clenched his fist with one hand and hammered his breastplate.

"The general is mighty!"

An old soldier of the Northern Army immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

"The Han army is victorious!"

"The Han army is victorious!"

Listening to the cheers that filled the world, Zhu Jun suddenly remembered the bright moments in his life when he and Huangfusong led Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo and other generals to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. .

"Mr. Zhu." Liu Yi asked softly, "If I agree to withdraw at the top of the city, your order to Huangfu Li is not to let me go, right?"

"veteran"

Liu Yi stopped Zhu Jun's words with a smile, and interrupted: "Let's go and meet the real hero."

"Should be Duan Yan's subordinate?" Zhu Jun guessed.

In fact, that's the best guess.

"It is possible that there are no other troops nearby."

Liu Yi and Zhu Jun led the imperial army to go forward in person, but after the sentry cavalry got their names, Liu Yi was stunned!
Really dumbfounded!
"Tai Shici? Gan Ning? This...how is this possible! Shouldn't they be in the south at this time?!"

Liu Yi's mind was in a mess, Zhu Jun was a little curious, he asked, "Your Majesty knows these two brave generals?"

"I know." Liu Yi smiled wryly, "Of course I know, the great reputation is like thunder."

"And invite."

Huangfu Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Since they are not Duan Yan's subordinates, I'm afraid they will be recruited."

"It's okay, you just invite it, and it will be fine."

Besides, when Tai Shici, who was nearly eight feet tall and full of beards, and Gan Ning, who was extremely cool in brocade clothes and armor, appeared in front of Liu Yi, Liu Yi was still full of unbelievable feelings.

Liu Yi looked at the two people in front of him and sized them up carefully.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, but Tai Shici and Gan Ning, who were showing off their power just now, are nervous, this is the Son of Heaven!
When he was nervous, Tai Shici wanted to caress his beautiful beard, but he realized something and put his hand down again.Gan Ning was even more unbearable. He came from a powerful background and had been a thief before. When he saw the emperor, he was instinctively nervous. He was so nervous that he wanted to pull off his conspicuous golden armor.

"Taishi Ziyi, Gan Xingba. Why did you two appear here?"

Tai Shici and Gan Ning were very surprised when they heard the Son of Heaven called out his own name. It is not surprising to know the name. It was notified just now, but how did they know the name?In today's world, the two of them are just well-known military generals in the local area, so how can they reach the ears of the emperor?

Tai Shici was stunned, but soon came to his senses, he simply bowed his head and replied: "Of course, His Majesty summoned us, so we are here."

When Tai Shici and Gan Ning explained the whole story clearly, Liu Yi couldn't keep his mouth shut.

For the first time, he truly realized that he had changed history, that he had completely changed the fate of some people in another direction.

Liu Yi untied his sword and placed it horizontally in front of his body. He suddenly asked, "When a man is born in troubled times, he should carry a three-foot sword to perform incomparable meritorious deeds and ascend to the rank of emperor. Did you say that?"

As soon as this statement came out, not only Tai Shici, even Gan Ning didn't know how many times he was frightened today.

There was only one question in their minds: How did the Son of Heaven know?Did God really tell him?

But right now, there is no room for hesitation, Tai Shici bowed his head again and said: "Yes, my minister often talks about it."

"Chang'an and Luoyang are far away from palaces and palaces, but there is no emperor's rank."

Tai Shici's heart sank suddenly, the emperor's steps did not refer to the steps, but the official position, does the emperor also look down on people of his origin?I think he is a ranger, not a general.

"The three-foot sword is right in front of you."

Tai Shici looked at the sword that Liu Yi held in front of him with both hands. The nearly eight-foot Tibetan-Ang man's eyes were red in an instant.

"His Majesty."

"Take it! You deserve it."

The sharpshooter Tai Shici, who usually doesn't shake his hands at all, received the Son of Heaven Sword with trembling hands.

Gan Ning looked at Tai Shici helplessly, with mixed feelings of envy and jealousy.

"Gan Xingba, I know you are well-clothed and well-fed. You see, I'm dressed in such rags, I have nothing to give you."

Gan Ning looked at the Son of Heaven who was wearing plain leather armor and was empty-handed, only the embroidered cloak seemed to be worth a bit of money, and rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.

With his attire, brocade clothes and gold armor, he seemed to be richer than the emperor.

"Let me send you a poem. This situation is not in vain for a good story."

Liu Yi pondered for a moment, and said word by word.

"The general was born with courage and boldness, with the sword of Chu Qiushui across his waist.

The wind blows the drum and the mountains and rivers move, and the flashing flags are high with the sun and the moon.

The unicorn in the sky is the original species, how can the ants in the cave escape. "

After taking off the splendid cloak, Liu Yi put it on Gan Ning abruptly, before chanting the last sentence.

"When it comes to Taiping Day, I will undress the general with you."

Gan Ning's face turned red, he hesitated a few times, and finally didn't know what to say.

He has read books, how could he not know that this seven-character poem with strange rhythm will be recorded in the annals of history together with his Gan Ning today!

Looking at the battlefield with corpses strewn all over the field, Liu Yi was filled with emotion.

"Where righteousness lies, duty cannot be shunned"

Liu Yi chewed on this sentence over and over again, and he looked at the people around him who were following him.

Unknowingly, a lot.

Zhu Jun, Xu Huang, Fazheng, Yang Xiu, Zhong Yao, Wang Can, Sima Zhi, Huangfu Li, Wang Yue, Hu Che'er, and now Tai Shici and Gan Ning are here again.

Somehow, a sentence escaped from Liu Yi's mouth.

"It is incumbent. It is incumbent on us to rebuild the glory of the Han Dynasty!"

After speaking, Liu Yi was stunned.

Everyone came to their senses immediately, shouting in unison as if they were making an oath.

"It is our duty to recast the glory of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Yi looked at the people around him, not only did he smile knowingly this time, everyone's faces were filled with happiness and joy of victory.

Guo Si is very strong, but we are the ones who have the last laugh!
The emperor is cunning, powerful and cunning, and has endless changes. He often uses words or things around him as an act of inviting people's hearts, which is called "benefit without cost".

In Xu Huang, it is the promise of being a marquis, and in Fazheng, it is the promise of worshiping the prime minister.

As well as Zheng County's fierce army, the decline has become apparent, and the emperor wanted to run away, shouting, "Heaven will kill me."

Duhuangmen Chengxiu took his reins, wept blood and said: "If your majesty flees, the army will be defeated. May your majesty think twice."

The emperor couldn't bear it, so he repaired with a whip, blood splattered everywhere, and he didn't let go.

Suddenly, righteous men Tai Shici and Gan Ning led troops to help, and Guo Bang was defeated. The so-called "five tiger generals" won the third place. When heroes gather, time is also fate.

It can be seen from it that although Heaven does not like the emperor, but seeing that there are still such bone-chilling officials as Xiu in the Han Dynasty, he cannot bear his death in the end.
