The big man is on the run

Chapter 8 The Arrogant Li Xian, Was Terrified!
Since ancient times, there have been many generous and tragic people in Yanzhao.

During the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, the spirit of being a knight continued. As the most outstanding knight-errant in the world, the old man Wang Yuewang successfully sold his martial arts to the emperor's family in his later years.

It's a pity that the current world is not in the superficially peaceful and prosperous years like Huan and Ling.

Speaking of the present, even if the two armies were facing each other, with large shields and long spears lined up, and tens of thousands of soldiers struggling to fight in the wilderness, Wang Yue would definitely not be as good as a top general like Xu Huang.

However, in the narrow street fighting terrain of Nanwu Corridor
Xu Huang, who couldn't wield a long-handled double-edged axe, seemed to be not as efficient in killing as old man Wang, who had one man and one sword.

To put it in a way that is easier for Liu Yi to understand, it is that when a heroic unit is besieged by high-level minions, another heroic unit in full condition joins the battle group to mow the grass, and the battle is short-lived. After a stalemate, there was a reversal.

The Xiliang soldiers under Li Xian's command were not fearless killing machines, but living people with flesh and blood who were afraid of death.

Faced with a large number of comrades killed in a short period of time, and seeing no hope of resisting this ghostly swordsman, they naturally chose to flee.

This kind of escape, which was almost impossible in Dong Zhuo's era, was precisely the direct result of the Xiliang army's deteriorating military discipline.

Needless to say, Xiliang soldiers who know how to enjoy and get something for nothing are not the same as before.

When they followed the general out of the dusty sky in the Hexi Corridor, they had the mentality of dying, and faced death without fear.

Now, they just want to use force to better enjoy life in the colorful world of Chang'an City, and no one is willing to die.

Seeing a large number of Xiliang soldiers retreating from the corridor towards the Wubao city wall, the morale of the defenders on the city wall dropped instantly.

But Zhong Yao, the commander of King Qin's army outside the city, keenly seized this opportunity and immediately ordered the whole army to press up.

Under the leadership of the officers, King Qin's army broke through the Nanwu city wall that was like a moat in just half a cup of tea.

"Go to hell!"

Huangfu Li took the lead, holding a round shield in his left hand against the spear on the wall, and after climbing up the wall, he held the ring knife in his right hand, and pushed forward with the iron shield in his short body. No matter how far it was driven, it still opened up a narrow position at the head of the city for the Pancheng soldiers behind.

Wei Jie, the captain of the infantry school, also took the lead. He raised his halberd and sliced ​​through the belly of the Xiliang soldier in front of him.

The Xiliang army, which was flanked back and forth, threw away their weapons in a panic and surrendered.

"Your Majesty, this thief cannot be kept, it is better to kill him!"

Xu Huang said murderously while holding a double-edged axe, and the surrounding soldiers also clamored.

However, Liu Yi noticed that few of the soldiers of Hedong County directly faced Li Xian who was tied up on the ground.

Liu Yi saw all this in his eyes, and knew that King Qin's army just hated the casualties and echoed, while the soldiers of Hedong County had a certain mentality of surrendering their names and even burying their betrayal.

It must be known that from the perspective of righteousness, and even from the perspective of loyalty to the emperor, Xu Huang and his subordinate soldiers from Hedong County were not wrong in their choices.

However, they are Yang Feng's subordinates after all, and Yang Feng and Li Jue are de facto allies, so their mentality is a bit subtle.

The Baibo army under Yang Feng's command has long been cut off from the Baibo bandits who are still in the east of the river, and it is an official army in the true sense.

Of course, there may be no difference between the two in the eyes of the people. In the eyes of the people in Guanzhong these days, the official army is not as good as the bandit army.

But having said that, after all, the soldiers of Hedong County had a kind of ashamed mentality of being ashamed of their comrades who had been together for a period of time.

It is not difficult to change this mentality.
— Just cut down all these Xiliang soldiers.

Quan Dangna voted for a certificate, the black history that no one knows is not called black history at all.

For some unknown reason, Liu Yi did not agree to this proposal that seemed to relieve anger and buy people's hearts.

Liu Yi patted Li Xian's head. Li Xian was kneeling on the ground with a rag in his mouth, still cursing silently, but with Liu Yi's palm on his head, Li Xian suddenly Stopping the movement of the mouth, the sound of "woo woo" suddenly disappeared.

"Scared, aren't you?"

Although ashamed to admit it, Li Xian's dodging gaze betrayed him.

"You said that you have many knives, so your reasoning is great." Liu Yi put the knife on Li Xian's neck, "Don't panic, what are you shaking? trembling."

"...It only takes a moment for your blood to rush out of your veins, and after a few more breaths, your limbs will feel cold and weak as if buried in snow, and then you will start to lose the ability to think , how do you feel about this feeling?"

In the torrential rain at dusk in summer, the fallen leaves swirl and curl on Li Xian's eyelids.

He closed his eyes in horror, then struggled to open them, praying to the emperor with his eyes.

Li Xian's eyes clearly and unmistakably conveyed his master's belief—he didn't want to die yet.

Every second that Li Xian waited for death was as cruel as spending a whole year in stopped time.

Big drops of sweat mixed with rain fell from Li Xian's forehead, and he, who was always called "the butcher", didn't even dare to look at the blade on his neck.

It would be fine if it was really a stab, but Liu Yi tortured him like this, making him listen to the wailing voices of his subordinates.

Huge fear surrounded Li Xian, and this feeling was that life was truly worse than death.

Li Xian yelled like crazy: "I don't want to die!", "Please spare me!".

However, with his mouth full of rags, only the sound of "woo hoo" can come out.

I don't know how many breaths have passed, but it has been a long time.

The heads of the Xiliang soldiers around were already rolling, and one of them, the head of a soldier with wide eyes, rolled down in front of Li Xian's eyes.

"Crack!"

Liu Yi imitated the sound of thunder and shouted.

The murderous "butcher" Li Xian got wet in his crotch just after this utterance.

I am gutted.

People are also useless.

Liu Yi looked at Li Xian, who looked like a cowering beast whose spine had been taken out, and suddenly felt a little funny. Is this the arrogant and domineering Li Xian back then?

"Hahahaha! Is this how much courage you have?"

What a paper tiger in a den, Liu Yi pointed at Li Xian and laughed until he was out of breath.

Li Xian whimpered in a voice that was not human, and curled up beside Liu Yi's legs.

But Liu Yi, who stopped laughing and retracted his knife, kicked it away like a dog.

Frankly speaking, a minion of Li Xian's level is no longer worthy of fighting against him. Liu Yi has a new target - Li Jue.

The Xiliang soldiers who had a deep hatred were killed in a short period of time.

Only less than five hundred King Qin's army and a dozen soldiers from Hedong County under Xu Huang's command remained in Nanwu.

"Your Majesty, Zhong Yao, Minister of Huangmen, has met with you."

Huangfu Li had already come to hold an umbrella for the emperor, and Liu Yi hurriedly took a few glances at Zhong Yao who was opposite him through the rain.

Liu Yi was very impressed with this middle-aged man with excellent appearance and demeanor, because he suddenly saw Zhong Yao's eyes signaled, and Zhong Yao's eyes glanced at the dozen or so soldiers of Hedong County and Xu Huang next to him.

That means, should we take advantage of the situation and kill them all?
Liu Yi shook his head bluntly, he couldn't do the job of killing donkeys, and that was Xu Huang, the first top general he recruited!

"Where should I go after the two noblemen and I are rescued from Nanwu in the plan?"

"It's time to go to Shanglin Garden. There are horses hidden in it. After galloping all day and night, you can go to the Shayuan Racecourse north of Huayin. There is a second batch of horses. It doesn't matter if you go to the east or the south of the river."

"Where are the officials? Without the officials, what kind of emperor is I?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhong Yao stood in the rain and responded calmly, "Although Li Jue and Guo Si are bastards, they are determined not to kill hundreds of officials."

Liu Yi believed this.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was dominated by the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families lasted for a hundred years and had a profound influence on the politics, economy, population and other dimensions of the empire.

Li Jue and Guo Si dared to attack common people, even dared to imprison the emperor, but they never dared to attack the officials who represented the elites of the world's gentry.

Because Li Jue and Guo Si lived and grew up in the political system of the Great Han Empire, even if they are now rebels within the system, they still haven’t got rid of the deep-rooted thinking inertia that has been formed since birth.

"In that case, let's go." Liu Yi nodded without any doubts.

A group of more than [-] people walked out of Nanwu. Nanwu was originally the outskirts of Chang'an City. In fact, they didn't need to go too far to reach Shanglin Garden.

However, just as the crowd walked halfway, there were thunderous sounds in the distance.

The ground was trembling, as if it was a landslide earthquake.

Huangfu Li told Liu Yi without hesitation: "It's cavalry!"

"How many riders are there? Can you hear it?"

"No!" Huangfu Li shook his head and replied, "The sound of rain and thunder is too loud, and it's coming from northwest and northeast directions, so I can't tell."

"At least ten thousand riders." Old man Wang suddenly said with a two-handed epee on his back.

Wang Yue untied the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip, wiped the wine and rain on his lips, and added: "I have heard of cavalry marches of this scale when I was traveling in Daibei. It was the Shanyu of the Xianbei royal court who set out for the expedition.

Today, it's just that the armor of the Han cavalry is heavier, which makes the sound of the horse's hoofs more muffled. "
