Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1124 Someone Must Die

The king's tent of the Chinese army.

"How did this happen? Are they not bereaved dogs? Dong Zhuo is already dead, how could they still have such a strong fighting power?" Emperor Liu Xie's face was as pale as snow, and there was no trace of blood in his pupils. .

Even his whole body was trembling slightly, which was a state of extreme fear, a manifestation of uncoordinated hands and feet.

For the past two days, he was still in high spirits.

On that mountain, he was so majestic, he cut off Dong Zhuo's head with one sword, and also cut off his own nightmares for so many years.

I thought it would start all over again.

He is the Son of Heaven, the emperor of the ninety-five years of the court, the emperor of the world. He was only controlled by others before, unable to show his position as emperor, so after killing Dong Zhuo, a thief, he will definitely be able to respond to everyone and let the world The submission of the princes.

But what he thought was still too simple.

Dong Zhuo's death, the first sequelae, has exploded.

When Dong Zhuo was there, he could still hold down countless powerful soldiers in Xiliang, but once Dong Zhuo died, the entire Xiliang army began to lose control. This kind of loss of control was something he had never seen before, like a group of lunatics.

This group of people, with a leader, is a military group, but when the group has no leader, it is a group of thugs, no one can control the thugs, they burn, kill and loot, there is nothing they dare not do.

And they came out from that place in Xiliang, they are all a group of brave people who are not afraid of death.

After two days of fighting, the Bingzhou Army was the first to lose.

Once the Bingzhou army was defeated, the imperial army seemed to be a piece of paper, and it was defeated quickly, and the defeat was a bit tragic. Some generals promoted by the imperial court with great difficulty died a lot, and those Guanzhong soldiers also suffered countless casualties.

The more casualties, the greater the complaints.

Now the morale of the army is unstable.

And the Xiliang army is like a group of mad dogs, still biting at the back.

The tables have turned.

The remnants of Xiliang soldiers were aggressive and chasing after him, and they would directly intervene at some point.

At this moment, Liu Xie became a little scared.

It is human nature to be afraid of death.

He didn't feel much before, but now, he is very afraid of death. Once the army is defeated, the other princes can be said, but the Xiliang army, I am afraid that he, the emperor, will be ashamed.

"Lu Fengxian is also useless!"

"A group of remnant Xiliang soldiers can't deal with it!"

The more frightened, the more hysterical Liu Xie was, now he just wanted to find something to explode and express the fear in his heart.

"Your Majesty, things are not at their worst yet, we still need Lu Bu to stop the Xiliang Army!"

Wang Yun cupped his hands and said.

"Wang Situ, you have also seen that in yesterday's battle, in order to keep his soldiers and horses, Lu Fengxian let go of the checks and balances on Xiliang, which led to the defeat of my imperial army. How can such a general be trusted?"

Liu Xie said coldly.

"Even so, we still have to trust him, because now, only he can protect us!" Wang Yun said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make trouble!"

"you're right!"

Liu Xie gritted his teeth, but understood Wang Yun's advice.

"Actually, Xiliang has been defeated and Dong Zhuo is dead. They are just grasshoppers after autumn. Even if they have some fighting power, they are far from enough to take over Guanzhong. The old man thinks that there is still some hope that they can be recruited!"

Wang Yun thought about it.

"Is it possible to recruit them?" Liu Xie gritted his teeth, not quite believing it.

"Try it!"

In fact, Wang Yun was very 56 in his heart. After all, when a scholar met a soldier, he couldn't explain why. He was not afraid that Xiliang didn't ask for it, but he was afraid that a group of them would be madmen who were desperate to avenge Dong Zhuo.

"Report!"

The scouts leaped up and came, and dismounted in front of the emperor and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, the Bingzhou army fought Xiliang again on the official road thirty miles away, and the battle lasted for an hour and a half. Bingzhou was defeated again. The remnants of Bingzhou have retreated to Huayin!"

"what?"

Hearing the words, Emperor Liu Xie felt like five thunderbolts, couldn't help but shook his body, and said gloomyly, "What is this?"

"Noon!"

"Two hours have passed, why hasn't there been any news from the Bingzhou Army?" Liu Xie gritted his teeth.

Even if he doesn't understand military affairs, he can understand marching maps.

The Bingzhou army was on his left flank, to the west, just blocking the main force of Xiliang, allowing the imperial army to have a rest, but now that Bingzhou has withdrawn, it is tantamount to exposing all the imperial troops to the Xiliang army.

At this moment, the generals also felt a chill rise in their hearts.

"His Majesty!"

Another scout crossed the gate, charged towards Liu Xie, and then got off his horse to report: "Xiliang's forward flying bear cavalry is less than ten miles away from us, and they can attack us in less than an hour!"

"Order to retreat immediately!"

Liu Xie said hurriedly.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court suffered heavy casualties. The current strength of the army is already insufficient, and the morale of the army has collapsed.

........................

Very late in the evening.

On a mountain road, some bloated soldiers and horses of the imperial court were ridden up by Fei Xiong, the most elite main force of the Xiliang Army.

"Kill the past!"

"Behead the Dog Emperor!"

"Revenge for the lord!"

The Flying Bear Cavalry is Dong Zhuo's elite direct descendant, and this time they erupted with ferocity, killing them like wild wolves.

"My life is over!"

Emperor Liu Xie looked at this scene, his eyes widened, and his heart was broken.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to retreat, the general will personally cut off the heir for you!"

There are still some loyal generals in the Han Dynasty. Yang Xun is a loyal minister. He has been a minister of Jiuqing since the time of Emperor Ling. After three emperors, he has already integrated himself with Liu Han.

He led [-] soldiers and horses to block the mountain road to cover Liu Xie's rear.

"Those who stand in my way will be killed!"

Xu Rong took the lead, and the heads of the flying bear cavalry in his hands were rolling in the past few days, bloody like fire, no matter who was in front of him at this time, he would tear them apart.

"That thief, don't be rampant."

Yang Xun fought bravely.

"Good general!"

Xu Rong hit more fiercely.

"Boys, for Your Majesty, for the sake of the big man, we will not retreat in actual combat!" Yang Xu was also firmly nailed to the mountain road.

The two fought for no less than a hundred rounds. Although there was not much difference in martial arts, Xu Rongzhi was less ferocious than Yang Xun. Even with a bit of tenacity, Yang Xun was cut off from his horse in the end, and then Xu Rong straddled the horse and passed him. The dozen or so cavalry behind him also trampled past, directly trampling this Han general into a piece of meat.

"General, the dog emperor has retreated into Huayang Township!" When Xu Rong's main force broke free from the blocking of Yang Xun's soldiers and horses, the scouts returned to report.

"Huayang?"

Xu Rong's eyes were a bit gloomy. It was a small town at the foot of Huashan Mountain, surrounded by adobe siege, it was considered a city, and it was not difficult to attack, but for the cavalry, the terrain was a bit narrow and not suitable for attacking.

"Camp camp under the city, wait for the main force to come, and see how Li Zhonglang makes a decision!"

Xu Rong thought about it and said.

"Yes!"

The Flying Bear Cavalry camped just below the city.

into the night!

Huayang Township, this is just a very small city, a small town at all, with a small population and a small place. Although there are adobe walls around, it is not high, and it can be climbed up without ladders. Can't live.

In the city, in a requisitioned house, the lights were brightly lit.

"I owe Yang Qing!"

Liu Xie's tears dripped down, and there was a touch of grief and indignation.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xun seeks benevolence and wins benevolence. He is loyal to the Han Dynasty. We will erect a monument here for him in the future!" Wang Yun said softly: "Now we must obtain reconciliation with the Xiliang Army as soon as possible!"

"Can we still reconcile?"

Liu Xie said bitterly.

"It's up to people!"

Wang Yun didn't have the confidence in his heart, but no matter what, he had to do it. No matter what, he had to keep the emperor.

"Wang Situ, I will leave this matter to you!" Liu Xie said in a deep voice.

He used to be a little proud, but now, his pride has been shattered. Only when he really went to the battlefield did he realize how terrible the battlefield is.

"promise!"

Wang Yun took the order.

After leaving the lobby, Wang Yun went to the top of the wall.

"How is it outside the city?"

"The cavalry lined up, but they didn't attack the city. Perhaps it was because the cavalry were not familiar with siege matters. But once the main force of Xiliang gathers, they will definitely attack. We can't stop it!"

Sima Fang sighed.

He is a civil servant.

But he has the ability to lead the army.

"I'm going out of town!"

Wang Yun said suddenly.

"Master Zi?" Sima Fang frowned.

"If there are still bright people in Xiliang, maybe there is room for this matter!"

Wang Yun said: "But if you don't return from this trip, you can take your majesty all the way east. Even if you join the Mu army, you can't let your majesty fall into the hands of these bastards, you understand?"

After all, Xiliang was out of control.

Also he, ill-considered.

"Master Zi!" Sima Fang gritted his teeth.

"Don't stop the old man, for a big man, the old man is willing to die!"

Wang Yun said calmly: "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I am willing to try!"

"I will go with you!"

Sima Fang thought for a while and said.

"No, although there are dozens of officials following His Majesty, I can't trust the rest of them. Only you have a strategy. When necessary, you may be able to lead Your Majesty back and escape a way out!"

Wang Yun said in a low voice.

........................

In the second half of the night, the Xiliang army stationed troops under Huayang city one after another.

Although the Xiliang army is now at the end of its strength, the crossbow can still be stretched tightly, and there are still many soldiers and horses. In addition, some scattered deserters on the battlefield have been collected, and the momentum created is no less than [-] main forces.

But now the imperial army, but there are five or six thousand soldiers who can fight.

Comparing momentum.

The whole Huayang seemed to be trembling.

"Li Zhonglang, what shall we do next?" Li Que and Guo Si all looked at Li Ru.

Li Ru was very calm, a kind of calm that made people shudder.

He said in a deep voice, "Wait!"

"Wait?"

The generals are a little confused.

"Report to Li Zhonglang, a man came out of the city, who said he was Situ of the court, and he came outside the camp alone to ask for an audience!" A soldier said in a deep voice.

"Please!"

Li Rudao.

"promise!"

The soldier turned and left.

"The opportunity has come. Whether you can escape this catastrophe depends on this!" Li Ru wanted to save some blood for Xiliang, but it might be difficult. Since he heard the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he It felt like there was a net all around him, making him breathless.

Li Que, Guo Si, and the others were not loyal to Dong Zhuo, but the situation was such that they wanted to survive, so they listened to Li Ru, and if they pushed the emperor to a desperate situation, they might still have a chance to survive.

Now, none of them would dare to kill the king, nor would they allow others to kill the king. Only with the emperor in their hands, could they have the capital to survive.

………………

Wang Yun entered the camp smoothly, and the gazes of the Xiliang generals in the camp did not make him a little bit afraid, but the man in the green robe who was at the top gave him a slight headache.

This is the most difficult role.

"Li Zhonglang, what do you want to retreat?" Wang Yun was very direct, he didn't have to go around in circles with Li Ru, he got to this point, his face was torn off one after another, there was nothing to talk about at all .

"Where is my lord?"

Li Ru asked gloomyly.

"died!"

"Where is the body?"

"The head was trampled on the battlefield, and the body was still in the wild dog den!" Wang Yun said lightly.

For the hatred of the emperor, it is not an offense to flog the corpse.

"hateful!"

Li Ru's murderous look revealed: "Then there is nothing more to talk about between us, come here, pull out, kill!"

"Li Zhonglang is loyal to Dong Thief, so why don't you think about the way out of Xiliang generals?" Wang Yun was calm, without the slightest fear, his eyes swept away.

"Li Zhonglang, calm down!"

"Li Zhonglang, listen to what they say first, it's not like killing them!"

Li Que, Guo Si and others quickly suppressed Li Ru.

Li Ru took a deep breath, and there was no surprise at all. He knew very well that without Lu Bu, no one would be able to suppress these Xiliang generals, and he, a counselor, would not be able to make these Xiliang generals surrender.

"Everyone, Dong thief intends to kill the king, and the crime should be punished by the nine clans, but you don't know it. Your majesty can still forgive you. Now that you have lost your way, you still have a chance. Otherwise, even if you successfully captured Huayang today, you will kill your majesty." , will not escape the punishment of the world!"

Wang Yun said in a deep voice.

"Wang Situ, open your mouth and say that we are thieves, we are thieves, we are soldiers, we are soldiers, how can you trust us!" Li Ru looked at Wang Yun and said, "My lord is the leader of the court. Grand Master, murdering Grand Master, according to the court law, someone must be responsible, Wang Situ, if you don’t want the emperor to take responsibility, that’s fine, why don’t you memorize it yourself, and then we will be in harmony with His Majesty, the monarch and his ministers, and we will protect Your Majesty , let His Majesty be safe and sound!"

Wang Yun's pupils changed color slightly.

He got it.

Someone must die.

Otherwise, this time, things won't go through.

Xiliang still wants to kill people, but if they don't kill people, no one can control their troops.

"Li Zhonglang, don't forget, you are also an official of the imperial court, a scholar of the Han Dynasty!" Wang Yun looked at Li Ru and said in a low voice.

"I'm from Xiliang!"

Li Ru was so indifferent.

"Understood!"

Wang Yun's heart was broken. He knew that if he refused to accept Li Ru, His Majesty would become a puppet, and they would be liquidated. This would be in the interests of Xiliang. In this way, Xiliang still had a bargaining chip to reason with the world's princes by controlling the emperor.

Li Ru's move was ruthless enough.

He knew that he couldn't kill the emperor for revenge, but he also wanted to kill the people around the emperor. This was killing two birds with one stone. It could not only vent his anger for Dong Zhuo's death, but also weaken the emperor's power.

The emperor can only watch the minister under his command be killed, and then become a puppet himself.

Even if he takes responsibility in the future, no one is willing to follow him. An emperor who even pushes his ministers to take the blame will not be looked down upon.

Can……

This is the only way to keep the emperor.
