The big man is on the run

Chapter 6 Willing to be Wu Gou in His Majesty's Hand
"Tuk!"

The bowstring was drenched with rain, and the arrow lost its strength when it flew to the end, and stuck crookedly on the earthen wall outside the South Dock.

"Yang Xiu, is this what you said about the lax defense of Nanwu?!"

Looking at the densely packed Xiliang soldiers on the narrow wall of the dock, and the generals in bright armor on the wall.

The 45-year-old Huangmen servant Zhong Yao is so angry that he can hardly maintain his celebrity demeanor.

He pointed at Yang Xiu and called him by his first name without even pronouncing the words, as if he was dizzy with anger.

Of course, Zhong Yao is nine years younger than Yang Xiu and his grandfather, Taiwei Yang Biao, so he can barely be regarded as a generation.

Facing Yang Xiu, a young man who is like his own nephew, it is not a big deal for Zhong Yao to lose his composure.

But the situation in front of him is definitely not the "lax defense of Nanwu" reported by Yang Xiu!
"Several, what should I do?"

Although Zhong Yao is better at combining vertical and horizontal tactics, he is also a soldier.

The composition of the "King Qin Army" that he had put together was extremely complicated. If there was no consensus, no one would be willing to go up and work hard. Therefore, Zhong Yao, who was in charge of the commander-in-chief, turned around and asked the main generals.

The army that came to rescue the emperor came from two sources. One was the only remaining official armed forces of the Han Dynasty, namely the Habayashi Guard and the Huben Guard, with a number of no more than three hundred.The second is about [-] descendants of aristocratic families in Chang'an City.

There are less than 600 people in total, but it is not because there are no people in the family.

Rather, the person who comes must be a dead soldier in armor and holding a knife.

Armor is a sensitive item under the emperor's feet. The major families rummaged through the cellars and scraped together some leather armor and iron armor, and gave some points to Habayashi Wei and Huben Wei.

Of course, this is also because of the guards of Habayashi and Huben, among whom there are many family members.

Needless to say, the surviving guards of the two guards of Yulin and Huben were led by Wei Jie, Captain of the Infantry, and Ju Jun, Captain of Shesheng, respectively.

Who is Huangfu Li who can convince these proud family members?

He was the so-called "Shuangbi at the end of Han Dynasty" in later generations, that is, Huangfusong's nephew among Zhu Jun and Huangfusong, who participated in the battle to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion along with his uncle.

Huangfu Li's background and military strategy were the temporary choices of the Chang'an family. He was loyal to the Han Dynasty. leader.

The strings were soaked in the shower, and seeing that the bow and crossbow he brought didn't work at all, Huangfu Li also knew what Zhong Yao meant.

It's nothing more than a decision!
"The sword and shield are in front, and the climbing ladder and the ants are attached to the city. As long as you can rescue your majesty, you don't care about a few casualties!"

Huangfu Li said it simply, and Zhong Yao also meant the same thing. After the Infantry Captain Wei Jie and the Shesheng Captain Ju Jun responded, they gave the order to attack.

The soldiers carried the climbing ladders that had been prepared in advance, and the wrestlers in front had already erected their solid scull shields to push forward against the rain of arrows, while the sword-shieldmen in leather armor were hiding behind the scull shields and the ladders, ready to climb the city.

Needless to say, the killing noise on the outer wall of Wubao in Nanwu was loud, and the courtyard where the emperor was imprisoned not far away was also extremely worrying.

The ashes made of alum had already been hidden in Liu Yi's sleeve, ready to be used at any time to raise dust and distract the eyes so that he could escape.

However, waiting left and right, but still can't wait for anyone.

The sound of shouting and killing was always hanging neither far nor near, which made Liu Yi unbearable any longer.

Brother, we have agreed to rob the prison!What about the jailbreakers? !
Qin Wangjun was unreliable, so Liu Yi had to find a way by himself. In short, he had to get out of the prison in Nanwu today, otherwise who knows what would happen.

Liu Yi placed the two girls in the house, and braved the rainstorm to knock on the courtyard door.

"Let's call you Captain Xu Huang to come!"

The soldiers outside the gate hesitated again and again, and finally they sent someone to report.

Not long after, Xu Huang led dozens of soldiers to the courtyard with a long-handled ax in his hand.

"Captain Xu, please open the door, Qin Wangjun is outside."

After a long silence, Xu Huang faced the courtyard door and took a deep breath, pouring rainwater with an earthy smell into his mouth, which made him vaguely feel a certain bitterness.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the door cannot be opened for a certain duty." Xu Huang said in a low voice.

Liu Yi's heart sank heavily, as if sinking into a bottomless abyss.

Most of the soldiers outside the door were soldiers from Hedong County who had no choice but to surrender the Baibo Army. They also breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also faintly unwilling.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the authority of the big man has completely disappeared.

The princes of the Guandong have many clans surnamed Liu and gentry who have been favored by the great Han. They didn't come to save the emperor from fire and water, so why would they ask Xu Huang, a military official from the east of the river, who was a former Baibo thief, Taking the risk of beheading and breaking the duty to save the emperor?

But no matter what the righteousness of the family and the country and the interests of the family, everyone present felt some kind of indescribable embarrassment.

The reason is that the Han Dynasty lasted for 400 years. Whether it is a noble family or a commoner, the ancestors have worshiped the emperor of the Han family for generations.

And the so-called "the country perishes with the weak, and the lonely Han perishes with the strong."

Before the start of the troubled times, even the most ambitious people would never have imagined that even though they were far away from being invincible in the world, even if they had a bit of absurd situation of selling their officials and nobles and making people's livelihood difficult, they could really be reduced to where they are today in just a few years. to such an extent.

In the final analysis, the reason is that the combination of habit and unbelievability has led to the soldiers who are engulfed by the tide of the times and still have some thoughts of loyalty to the emperor of the Han family.

And under this kind of mentality, I feel ashamed for doing things that go against it.

While Xu Huang and the soldiers were having a lot of thoughts, they heard the sound of chanting suddenly coming from behind the courtyard gate.

The voice is hoarse, almost generous and desolate.

"Why don't men wear Wu hooks?

Take Kanto and restore Kyushu? "

It is not the four-character or five-character poems popular in the world, but the strange seven-character poems.

There are only a few sentences, but the blood is surging up from the chest one by one.

Yes, as soldiers of the empire, they did not go to quell the wars caused by the separatist regimes of the princes, but instead helped the emperor to torture and imprison the emperor here.

However, anyone who still has even a little awe of the two words "big man" who has brought countless glory and pride to the people in his heart can't help but feel a sense of embarrassment.

"Please go to the Yuntai Pavilion temporarily,

If a scholar—Wan Huhou! "

Xu Huang's broad and powerful hands were still on the big axe, but his lips were bloodstained by his own teeth, as if he was too emotional to control himself.

Who would not want to be like the 28 generals of Yuntai, help Guangwu revive the Han Dynasty and go down in history?
As for the so-called "a scholar with thousands of households", it directly scratched Xu Huang's heart.

He, Xu Huang, is not an illiterate person, but a dignified and powerful man from a decent place. He is a junior county official who has read the book. Seeking career advancement!

And the scholar Fenghou, just like Ban Dingyuan, is destined to be recorded in the annals of history!How not to be fascinated?

"Gongming, when the Han Dynasty is in crisis, don't you want to be Deng Yu and Feng Yi, instead you want to be Na Kui Xiao and Gongsun Shu?" Liu Yi asked in a low voice while leaning against the door amidst the sound of rainstorm.

Liu Yi is betting that Xu Huang still has the desire to help the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, was finally disappointed.

There was no movement outside the door for a long time.

Even though Xu Huang has some loyalty and meritorious ideas in his heart, why should he take the risk of losing his head to save you, a down-and-out emperor?
Ask yourself, as the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. If you think about it, you might not open the door if you were yourself.

Just when Liu Yi's mood was fading and he was about to turn around.

"Crack!"

The gate was split open with an axe, and the iron chains wrapped outside fell down.

"Your Majesty, I don't ask for thousands of households in Yuntai."

The rain formed a curtain of water on the edge of Xu Huang's pocket, blurring his face.

Xu Huang, who was holding a big axe, couldn't fully salute with his armor on his body, and bent slightly, his voice was solemn.

"If Your Majesty can really restore the Han Dynasty, just like Guangwu rebuilt the Han Dynasty.

A certain person is willing to be the Wu hook in the hands of His Majesty. "
