It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages
Chapter 241 I saw it all, he wants to kill the king!
Chapter 241 I saw it all, he wants to kill the king!
"Your Majesty, please be more careful."
Zhong Xuan's attitude is obvious.
Regardless of whether there are real Guiyi troops outside the city, or they are all Donghu soldiers pretending to be soldiers, he will not let them enter the city.
The friendly army is fine, but if it were the enemy army, Xiping County would be gone immediately.
The only thing to worry about is that it may chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army outside the city.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army in the city may also be a little dissatisfied when they see their former brothers who can only camp outside the city.
However, Zhong Xuan, as the most prestigious general among the Guiyi Army at this time, made this decision for the Guiyi Army soldiers, which could eliminate a lot of troubles.
While Liu Ke was thinking about it, he suddenly came down from the city and wanted to enter the city.
"Should have come to report."
Zang Liyuan glanced over and said:
"Why don't you just let him in, one person can't make troubles, listen to what he has to say, and know whose soldiers and horses are outside the city."
Liu Ke nodded and said:
"Don't rush to open the city gate, just let him in with a hanging basket."
After a while, the messenger entered the city in a gondola.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army on the top of the city were all very excited when they saw their familiar faces.
He is indeed a brother of the Guiyi Army, a reinforcement!
For a while, there was some commotion.
The solitary army guarded Xiping for several months, and now there are finally reinforcements, so how far is it from killing a way out? !
"My little one pays homage to His Majesty!"
The messenger saw Liu Ke surrounded by people at a glance, and knew that this was the Emperor of Han Dynasty, and he quickly bowed down.
"Ok?"
Liu Ke took a deep look at him. Ordinary soldiers of the Guiyi Army would feel a little panic when they saw him.
Not so with this messenger.
It seems that he has seen some people in the market, unlike most soldiers of the Guiyi Army who were born at the bottom.
At least a ranger.
"How did you come here? Who is the army outside the city?"
After Liu Ke paid more attention for a while, he asked about business.
"His Majesty!"
The Messenger bowed his hands:
"Outside the city is General Hou Wanxing, who is under the command of General Hou. General Hou is originally from the wealthy Suiping family, and he intends to join the Guiyi army in rebellion."
"It's a pity that General Zhang Yiping died afterwards, and no one could come forward to be the commander, so he didn't act rashly. He just hid some soldiers of the Guiyi Army who were disheartened after losing consecutive battles."
"Later, General Hou heard that in order to return to the rebel army, his majesty did not hesitate to ride into Runan alone and capture and kill the rebel general Zhang Dingguo. He even personally sat in Xiping County and repelled the attack of the Donghu army."
"So I took the opportunity to start an incident, brought soldiers and horses, and set off here..."
"Except for some young men called by General Hou from the countryside, there are still more than 200 Guiyi soldiers gathered, totaling [-] people!"
"With these three thousand people, we can line up the city wall, and Xiping County will be impregnable!"
Liu Ke nodded again and again, except that he still didn't explain why Pu Qianguang didn't send troops to intercept him, there was basically no contradiction.
Then he looked at Zhong Xuan.
Zhong Xuan recalled a bit, and said hesitantly:
"There is such a person."
Hou Wanxing's father, Hou Biao, was a small school student in Puqianbu.
He married a Hu woman, so Hou Wanxing was considered a mixed race of Hu and Han.
Since he was a child, he was deeply influenced by Donghu people's fierce and martial arts style. He is informal, good at riding and shooting, and brave and aggressive.
Not only in Runan, but also in the whole Yuzhou, there are some poor names.
Pu Qianbu recruited several times, but he declined all of them.
Later, when Zhang Yiping rebelled, Hou Wanxing deliberately summoned local warriors to follow him, and the two sides also exchanged letters.
But later Zhang Yiping died, and the Guiyi army turned into birds and beasts and scattered, and Hou Wanxing had no news.
"If that's the case, it's a loyal man."
Liu Ke nodded slightly.
Although Hou Wanxing retreated bravely, everyone can understand.
After all, the Guiyi Army at that time really had no future in sight.
Even if you have the intention to return to the Han Dynasty, you cannot put yourself in danger.
Even the generals in the Han army did not give hope to the Guiyi army.
If Liu Ke hadn't made this trip himself, the Guiyi Army would have been gone.
This does not mean that Hou Wanxing has other ideas.
It can even be said that Hou Wanxing not only has the heart to serve the Han Dynasty, but also has a certain wisdom and strategy, has a certain overall situation, and can see the situation clearly.
But at this moment, Zhong Xuan stepped forward and whispered:
"Your Majesty, even if the person outside the city is Hou Wanxing, don't trust him lightly. You must never open the city!"
Liu Ke's face remained unchanged, and he thought for a while.
Can you believe it? I don’t know yet?
At the same time, Zang Li also stepped forward, lowered his voice and said:
"Your Majesty, Pu Qianguang is a famous general in Pu Qian's department. He made a plan before moving. It is absolutely impossible for Hou Wan to wake up and join our army in Xiping County. There must be something strange in it!"
Zang Li not only provided all the information about Pu Qianbu, but also made a reliable analysis based on the character of his old teammates.
This wave of people who voted against Han really did so sincerely.
But Liu Ke still didn't decide easily. He stepped forward to help the messenger up and asked Xiang Zhongxuan:
"Get some people from the army and see if anyone knows him."
Zhong Xuan roughly drew the appearance of the messenger, and several soldiers guarding the city rushed over immediately.
Don't tell me, this messenger's status is quite high.
Before Zhang Yiping died, he took the remnants of the rebel army and guarded in Suiping.
Later, he was surrounded and suppressed by Puqian Yonggu's confidant, Quanyi guarding Yuzhou.
Later, like most of the remnants of the Guiyi Army, they disappeared without a trace.
At first, they thought that they were defeated and died, or they were disarmed and returned to the fields, or they fled into the mountains.
Unexpectedly, it was Hou Wanxing who hid him.
This is another great achievement!
Liu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, and said:
"This is true. Hou Wanxing has made great contributions to the country, and I should personally welcome him."
"It's not that the general doesn't recognize Hou Wanxing's achievements."
Zhong Xuan sighed and said helplessly:
"This timing is too coincidental, and Pu Qianguang has not mobilized troops to intercept him, and he is not deaf or blind!"
"Even if Hou Wanxing is reliable, are the three thousand soldiers who accompany him also reliable?"
"With the current situation in Xiping County, even if there are only dozens of people, it is unbearable."
"and"
Zhong Xuan hesitated a bit, and finally said frankly:
"The soldiers outside the city have not received formal training, and they have escaped before, and they have not seen Zhang Dingguo's death, so they have not calmed down."
"Even if it is reliable for a while, can it still be reliable when it encounters a crisis?"
Liu Ke couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Zhong Xuan's worries are not without reason.
Even though they were officers and soldiers of the Guiyi Army, most of them were defeated soldiers because they did not stay in Xiping County.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away directly.
Now watching the return of the Guiyi Army, they are back again.
Even though his intentions are commendable, there are still some people who fish in troubled waters.
This has to be guarded against.
But only a moment later, Liu Ke's brows loosened, and he smiled, saying:
"So what?"
"Don't let them enter the city now, do you still think about relying on them in times of crisis?"
"Treat people with sincerity, only then will someone treat you with sincerity."
This is what Liu Ke has always believed, including Wei Chengxian.
Although he was suspicious and made corresponding countermeasures, he still handed over the heavy responsibility to Wei Chengxian.
Once Wei Chengxian sincerely takes refuge in him, he will be able to make great contributions.
The big man is now able to produce a large number of capable people, all because of his sincerity in exchange for his sincerity.
After all, those who were not sincere enough had their homes confiscated.
Zhong Xuan and Zang Li were speechless after hearing this.
But they still insisted not to let Hou Wanxing bring the rebel army into the city.
It is a good thing that the reinforcements came, but the problem is that the timing is too coincidental, and Pu Qianguang did not intercept them, so there are doubts.
And now that Xiping County has been completely guarded, it doesn't make much difference to let people in, just throw them out of the city, there is no need for extra trouble.
Both of them knew deep down that the emperor might have his own ideas.
But don't they serve as courtiers just to do this kind of dirty work?
The best result is that the emperor wanted to let the rebels into the city and treat people with sincerity, but because the people below them kept persuading them, they had to do it as a last resort, so they could only be placed outside the city.
The emperor got the reputation, but his ministers took the blame.
After this matter is over, it will be easier for the emperor to come forward to appease him in person, and he will be famous again.
Zhong Xuan glanced at the emperor, then at the expectant messenger, and exchanged glances with Zang Li.
It’s hard to explain this matter clearly, so let’s take the blame yourself!
He immediately said:
"Your Majesty, the last general will go and tell Hou Wanxing, let him set up camp with his back against the city wall, and prepare some wine and meat to appease the soldiers, how about it?"
Zhong Xuan's proposal seems to be a way to get the best of both worlds.
If the Guiyi Army is stationed outside the city, Xiping County will definitely remain safe.
But Hou Wanxing and Gui Yijun will inevitably have complaints in their hearts.
After much deliberation, even this may be Pu Qianguang's scheme.
Responding to all changes, this army was deliberately placed under Xiping County.
Pu Qianguang might even have figured it out, because of the fear of Zhongxuan and Zang Li, this army could only be stationed outside the city.
And at this time, if he leads an army to attack again, it is very likely that this army will be scattered directly.
This is not just to defeat a soldier, but also to defeat in full view.
Among them are the righteous soldiers and the former brothers of the soldiers who returned to the righteous army in the city.
As a result, the morale of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army guarding the city will inevitably plummet.
This can be described as a heart-attacking strategy!
The emperor's ability to firmly hold Xiping County relied on the prestige he had earned throughout his life and his persistence in never abandoning the Guiyi Army, a lone army.
Pu Qianguang's move, although he did not move, actually hit Qicun.
Let all the monarchs and ministers fall into a dilemma.
Even Zhong Xuan could vaguely guess this possibility, but because of fear, he had to let Hou Wanxing's reinforcements be stationed outside the city.
You just have to admit Hong Guoguo's conspiracy.
Zang Li also chimed in and said:
"Your Majesty, you must be defensive!"
Liu Ke looked thoughtful.
Emperor Diaozong knew that King Qin's soldiers and horses were camped outside the city to defend against the enemy, and the gates of the city were locked tightly to prevent anyone from entering the city.
Liu Ke naturally knew it too.
If Hou Wanxing's home was not confiscated and his family was executed at Ling Chi, his family had to move three thousand miles away. It was a pity that his surname was Hou instead of Yuan.
After thinking about it, he was about to allow Zhong Xuan to go out of the city to appease him, when suddenly he felt a ghost in his heart.
The situation is different, I have something to hang on to.
So when the words came to my lips, the taste changed:
"The heart of guarding against loyal ministers, but you must not have it!"
Zang Li was taken aback for a moment, what kind of logic is this.
Then the next sentence, is it necessary to harm others?
It's kind of immoral.
"What Zhong Xuan said is reasonable, and I also know that you have some scruples in your heart."
Liu Ke continued to speak slowly:
"But it happened suddenly, and the situation is not very clear."
"Whether it be Hou Wanxing or the rest of the Guiyi Army soldiers, they were all people who threw their heads and blood for the big man."
"Even if someone left halfway, ran away, or was lured by profit, secretly planning something, they can't erase the things they have done and the merits they deserve."
Liu Ke looked around, paused, and said in a deep voice:
"You say, yes or no?"
All the generals looked at each other.
This is really not.
Zhang Dingguo had meritorious service at first, even a considerable contribution, and he was listed as a general by Zhongxuan who went south, but later...
Die a bit miserable.
They all went to the Donghu barracks, and they were caught alive and cut alive, so don't mention how wronged they are.
Liu Ke continued:
"I know, you are all afraid of another incident involving Zhang Dingguo."
"The Guiyi Army fell to this point because of Zhang Dingguo's repetition."
"But this matter, should it remain in the hearts of many soldiers?"
"They are all loyal ministers and righteous men who risked their lives to rebel in order to return to Hannan."
"I'm determined not to chill people's hearts because of such trivial things!"
"Even if they are stationed outside the city, I will personally go to comfort them and welcome them!"
Zhong Xuan was a little moved when he heard this, but when he heard that the emperor was going to go out of the city to appease him in his place, he still wanted to give some advice.
Although the effect is definitely better if the emperor goes personally, it is also more dangerous!
Liu Ke glared at him, suppressed Zhong Xuan's words, and then directly triggered the [Speaker] destiny and fooled wildly:
"We are facing a formidable enemy. Do you still want to talk to me about the pros and cons?"
"If you can't even trust loyal people, why did I ride into Runan alone?"
"Even though there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den outside the city, and there are three thousand Donghu troops, can't I fight my way out and escape unscathed?"
As soon as this remark came out, many people fell silent.
The emperor was a macho man who captured the rebel general from a camp of 5 people with fifty cavalry and retreated from his body.
The Holy Emperor was chased by five hundred horses and crossed the river by a mud donkey.
Three thousand soldiers and horses
From the facts, it seems that there is no big problem.
Could it be that they were worrying too much?
In fact, it is also possible to think from another angle.
If these three thousand soldiers and horses are actually Donghu people in disguise, or they have secretly defected to Donghu.
What kind of posture should they use to run, so as not to be chased and killed by the emperor?
It is not impossible to drive 3000 people in a donkey cart.
Liu Yu, the king of the Song Dynasty, did this before, chasing thousands of people by himself.
But today's Holy Son, although there are some rumors of killing his father and brother, he has always respected his ancestors.
Zhong Xuan wanted to speak but stopped, stopped talking and wanted to, finally met Liu Ke's gaze, and stopped talking.
He was moved.
The meaning of the emperor is very clear.
Will not let down any Hanchen.
Even if there were traitors outside the city, there were duplicitous people, and there were people plotting something, he was still willing to be fooled.
I would rather be deceived by 1 villains than give up on any righteous man.
The soldier swallowed the saliva in his throat, and his eyes were a little moist.
I was so moved that I couldn't add more.
At this moment, he fully understood that standing in front of them was not only the Holy Emperor, but also the king of a country.
He is also a strange man who is willing to sacrifice his life for the loyalty of a big man.
No wonder the emperor wanted to promote Gongyang Confucianism, not only retaliated against the Donghu people, but also reciprocated the righteous men!
Zang Li also took a deep breath.
He never thought that the emperor would have such affection and loyalty to the Guiyi Army who were farmers and rangers.
They are full of deep respect and indescribable emotions.
This is what an emperor should have, right?
Although Pu Qian Yonggu can be regarded as a wise emperor, he is still far behind the serious emperor of Han Dynasty.
Not to mention the best martial arts in ancient and modern times.
Just in terms of size, it is far inferior.
The emperor's tolerance and trust in the Guiyi Army is enough to move anyone with a conscience.
This cannot be faked, and it is definitely not a show.
It can be seen from the fact that the emperor rode into Runan alone, and now it is nothing but a revelation.
In the field, some people sobbed softly, some people lowered their heads silently, and some people clenched their fists tightly.
They are all expressing their determination silently.
This time the emperor did not use arrogant force or exaggerated achievements to win their hearts.
Instead, they use unmatched trust and respect to make them willing to give everything for him, even their lives.
Liu Ke walked down the wall calmly, since he was already limping, he didn't talk too much.
Just go out the door.
He only brought Yuan Shen with him.
Although Yuan Shen did not become an official, he could not help himself at this time.
Moreover, this man still has some talent, and he can put it to good use.
[Name: Yuan Shen (Sergeant)]
【Age: 30】
【Command: 67; Force: 44; Wisdom: 75; Administration: 81】
[Characteristics: posture, comfort, calligraphy and painting]
In terms of basic ability alone, the "sergeant" Yuan Shen was basically on par with He Hong, an idiot who had no other uses other than being stingy.
But he is handsome, and it can even be written into his characteristics.
Moreover, he is still "a master of calligraphy and painting", coupled with his status as a branch of the Yuan family, he is properly following the route of celebrities.
If it is put in peacetime, it may be even more famous than those good generals.
Now just relying on the characteristic of "soothing" can also be of great use.
And putting this person by his side, Liu Ke himself felt pleasing to the eye.
But he said the Guiyi Army outside the city and Hou Wanxing.
Hou Wanxing saw that the defenders in the city used hanging baskets to hoist the messenger to the top of the city, and he already understood a little bit.
Some soldiers also felt that they were losing face and came to Xiping County full of enthusiasm, but they were poured cold water on them.
Although they each had their own faults before, even if the emperor came in person, they were still a lone army in Runan County, and Xiping County was still an isolated city.
They are able to come here, all at a risk.
Even if it is the idea of seeking wealth and insurance, they still have practical actions.
Hou Wanxing glanced at the soldiers around him and knew how they were feeling.
But he didn't care.
He really planned to be a loyal minister of the great man.
This was the plan even when they led the gathered and hidden remnants of the Guiyi Army from Suiping to Xiping County.
He even had the consciousness to fight a fierce battle with Pu Qianguang's army and take risks to break through.
But at the last minute, he changed his mind.
Pu Qianguang did not stop him, only a messenger came secretly to deliver a letter to him.
The content of the letter is also very simple, it is Pu Qianbu's troop dispatch.
But it's shocking enough.
But after Hou Wanxing thought about it for a while, he gave up the idea of continuing to join the Han Dynasty.
Even if submitting this letter to the emperor would be a great achievement, he didn't intend to commit suicide.
Because the emperor is gone.
Hou Wanxing prided himself on being both civil and military.
Naturally, it is clear that if everything in the letter is true, the emperor will not be able to escape.Even if he could really ride on a donkey cart, or even if a mud donkey fell from the sky, as in the legend, only one person could escape.
Whether it was Zhong Xuan who returned to the rebel army, the rebel general Zang Li, or Lu Fengfu.
One counts as one, and none of them can escape.
If he joins the big man at this time and goes to Xiping County, he obviously won't be able to survive.
So Hou Wanxing secretly reached an agreement with Pu Qianguang.
Zang Li can't be the inner ghost, he will be.
He will give the information that Zang Li can't give.
Moreover, Hou Wanxing has absolute confidence that he will not be discovered.
Because before receiving the letter, everything he did was to prepare for surrender.
He had been in contact with Zhang Yiping for a long time and wanted to start a fight.
Although there were many changes in the follow-up, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army were still hidden.
These are all facts, there is no reason to even be suspicious, and there will never be any flaws.
At most, it is suspicious that Pu Qianguang did not send an army to stop him.
But Pu Qianguang said that the rulers and ministers in Xiping County must have expected this. The wise plan did not lie in the fact that Quan Yi, the prefect of Yuzhou under Liu Bin, made a perfect plan for this.
This is a trick in the middle, and it is precisely because of this doubt that his reunion will appear more real.
Hou Wanxing also felt that it was indeed feasible.
Moreover, he had also heard of Quan Yi's name.
It is said that this time the dispatch of troops and generals, the ultimate move against the Guiyi army was also done by Quan Yi.
Selling him is of no benefit at all, only by allowing him to successfully lurk among the Guiyi army will there be any benefit.
So Hou Wanxing came over so carelessly.
Kabra——
To his surprise, the messenger did not return the same way in a hanging basket.
Rather, the gates are open.
A donkey cart stepped out.
"Soldiers, you have worked hard!"
All the generals outside the city were still in a daze.
There were only two people on the donkey cart.
One is a handsome guy visible to the naked eye.
The face is comparable to that of Pan An and Song Yu in ancient times, and every inch appears extremely harmonious and perfect.
Whenever the breeze blows, the robe and long hair will flutter gently, with an outstanding appearance.
But such a handsome man is not as eye-catching as the man driving the donkey.
Some people even vaguely saw the real dragon companion, and subconsciously rubbed their eyes before they came back to their senses.
[Tianzi Xiangrui: When others see you, they will occasionally look at you and have hallucinations]
This passive destiny, which is maintained all the time, has a particularly low trigger probability.
Occasionally, it will take effect under special circumstances, and Liu Ke has never paid much attention to it.
This time it was just one or two soldiers, nothing more than a blink of an eye.
Hou Wanxing didn't care because he didn't see the real dragon companion.
But this did not prevent him from recognizing the emperor.
At this time, if someone wants to go out of the city to appease, it is either Zhongxuan or the emperor himself.
But Zhong Xuan obviously does not have this kind of majesty that makes Yuan Shen, a rare handsome man in the world, eclipse.
"Caomin Hou Wanxing pays homage to His Majesty!!"
Hou Wanxing rushed forward to bow down.
Liu Ke motioned to get up, and greeted many soldiers of the Guiyi Army.
Can't appease you alone!
"The grassroots are incompetent, they can only gather three thousand people!"
Seeing the emperor like this, Hou Wanxing's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears.
Liu Ke couldn't help but take a few more glances.
[Name: Hou Wanxing (Bangshi)]
【Age: 26】
【Command: 87; Force: 78; Wisdom: 93; Administration: 86】
[Characteristics: Cunning, Whale Owl]
It's a hunk.
Seeing this, he couldn't help itching his teeth, and wanted to pull Zhang Dingguo out to whip his corpse.
If Zhang Dingguo hadn't rebelled, the Guiyi Army would have had three strong men: Zhang Yiping, Zhong Xuan, and Hou Wanxing.
Fully capable of a big ticket.
It's a pity that if you die, you will fall.
This Hou Wanxing is no longer believable.
Although Hou Wanxing's acting skills are good, Liu Ke can still spot him at a glance.
If you don't make a show of it, I may have to use another way to judge.
But if you want to act in front of this [Emperor Actor], you are actually playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
He was a man who could make Hou Junyan pretend to be Guan Gong alive just by teaching him knowledge and solving doubts.
"Pretending to surrender"
Liu Ke suddenly had an idea in his mind, but there was no evidence at hand.
You can't directly say that you have a problem, can you?
After all, Hou Wanxing didn't reveal anything, and everything he did so far was beneficial to the big man.
Hou Wanxing had no idea that his acting skills had been exposed. He wiped his tears and howled:
"The grassroots thought that they could follow the Guiyi Army to rise up and share the worries of His Majesty."
"But I don't want General Zhang to be assassinated by thieves."
"As soon as General Zhang died, the common people became a little timid and did not dare to act rashly."
"In this time of national calamity, I only dared to use your majesty's remaining prestige to gather some soldiers after your majesty repelled Pu Qianguang's army. I'm really ashamed."
Hou Wanxing was still a little complacent, he felt that what he said was impeccable and level.
Not only did he explain his situation, he also gave the emperor a small slap on the dragon's fart.
Who is not confused by this?
Even if there is a slight suspicion, there is no sign of it.
In time, he could win the emperor's trust.
Hou Wanxing is also very confident in his ability.
There are three or two cats and dogs in Xiping County. It is the right time to employ people, so they can easily enter the center.
It's not a bad idea to even let Pu Qianguang come to attack and perform a bitter trick.
Anyway, except for him and a few cronies, most of them are the remnants of the Guiyi Army who sincerely voted.
He doesn't feel bad when he dies, and even happens to be his identity.
Liu Ke did not turn a blind eye to Hou Wanxing's performance, but cooperated very much.
He held Hou Wanxing's hand, but the expression on his face was as if he cared sincerely, and his voice was extremely gentle, so he comforted him:
"In these troubled times, everything is difficult. General Zhang's death is indeed a great loss."
"You should have some scruples, but you are able to hide the remnants of the Guiyi army, and now you gather soldiers and come to join the army. This is great loyalty and bravery."
When Hou Wanxing heard this, he felt even more elated.
But on the outside, he still tried his best to show gratitude, and Humu trembled with tears in his eyes.
Liu Ke continued:
"You should also know the current situation in Xiping County."
"It's not that I don't want to let the soldiers go to the city to rest, but it's really inconvenient because it's an extraordinary time."
Hou Wanxing quickly bowed down and said:
"Caomin knows that Caomin will cooperate with His Majesty to appease the soldiers!"
Liu Ke nodded heavily.
Then he pulled out a bow:
"General Hou came here through danger and made great contributions. I don't have much in my possession, so I present this bow as a gift."
This bow is about four feet long. It is dark black in color and smooth throughout, giving people a sense of calmness and nobility.
At both ends of the bow, there are also two bright white jade inlaid, echoing the color of the bow.
Although it is obviously not suitable for battle formation, it is undoubtedly a rare treasure.
"Thank you Your Majesty!!"
Hou Wanxing took the bow and was also very pleasantly surprised.
Although he came from a wealthy family, he had never touched this kind of bow, and his trembling fingers clearly revealed his excitement at the moment.
He glanced at Yuan Shen without leaving a trace, he should only be a nobleman from such a noble family to have such a precious bow!
Yuan Shen was expressionless.
This is what he has at home.
When Zhongxuan collected bows and arrows, the ones collected were under the banner that the emperor would use them for military training, so he dared not stop them at all.
Liu Ke did not delay the matter, and said:
"Let's go, General Hou and Yuan Qing, follow me to appease the soldiers."
"Yes!"
The two immediately handed each other over.
Yuan Shen got out of the donkey cart first, and was going to welcome Liu Ke down again.
Liu Ke was about to get out of the car, but his movements seemed to be too hasty. He stepped on his left foot and stepped on his right foot.
He wanted to steady himself, but his speed was too fast. Before he could catch Yuan Shen, who came forward to greet him, he felt his feet slip away and his whole body tilted forward.
So much so that for a while, they all showed some terrified expressions, and a trace of tension flashed in their eyes.
Seeing this, Yuan Shen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, but time was too tight and his reaction was too slow, so it was already too late.
Everyone could see that the whole body of that noble holy son of heaven seemed to be slowed down by time, slowly falling to the ground.
Some people suddenly had some inexplicable emotions in their hearts, and they took steps.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Ke fell off the donkey cart clumsily like this, and his ass fell, bringing up a cloud of dust.
"Wow ya ya!!!"
Hou Wanxing, who was beside the donkey cart, screamed strangely and rushed over.
He copied the bow in his hand, and wanted to put the bowstring around Liu Ke's neck.
At the same time, there were also a few soldiers with bows, who also rushed forward.
The whole atmosphere froze in an instant.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army on the top of the city watched the scene, a little impatient in their hearts, suffering from powerlessness, they could only watch.
It even feels strangely familiar.
Hou Wanxing's movements were quick, with a fierce look in his eyes, and a bit of cunning.
The whole body, like a cheetah, quickly rushed to Liu Ke's side.
Liu Ke is not cowardly at all, he is just using [get off the horse] destiny to fish and enforce the law.
This destiny only takes effect on "enemies" who "hold a bow".
He used "Dismount the Horse" to train the soldiers of the Guiyi Army, and he had to prepare broken bows in advance, and he had to repeatedly declare that the soldiers should treat him as a Donghu person and an enemy in order to maintain the effect.
After being prepared, Liu Ke quickly stood up.
Even if he could feel Hou Wanxing's killing intent, he felt relaxed and freehand.
After all, his current strength value is 70 points, which is not too different from Hou Wanxing's 78 points.
And he also has a destiny.
At the same time, the soldiers also picked up their bows and quickly surrounded Liu Ke.
However, his movements were not very coordinated and his eyes looked a little surprised. Obviously, the current situation was too unexpected.
Yuan Shen on the side had no choice but to ask him to write and draw. He really has this level, but he was asked to beat someone up.
forget it.
But the emperor is in front, if something happens, he will definitely not survive.
He simply closed his eyes and stood there dumbly.
However, the pale Yuan Shen, who had no usual demeanor at all, was still as handsome and attractive as ever.
Liu Ke simply used Yuan Shen as a pillar and surrounded him.
Taking two steps around, taking advantage of Hou Wanxing's stagger, there was no gap to follow.
With a clang, a chessboard fell down, and the skin of the watermelon split instantly, and the bright red flesh splashed with juice.
Some were flattened by the force of the impact, while others flew far away following the watermelon rind.
The surrounding air was instantly filled with a sweet and greasy aroma.
That is the taste of summer.
"."
Afterwards, the bow-wielding soldiers who rushed over also treated themselves as small watermelons and opened pancakes.
"He killed the king! You all saw it!"
Liu Ke spread his hands, and he didn't want to, but Hou Wanxing was hostile to him, and he was under control, so he could only keep up with the output.
Yuan Shen just woke up like a dream at this time, looking at Hou Wanxing who was still intact on the ground just now, he shuddered.
A group of volunteer soldiers were dumbfounded.
Emperor Han was brave and unparalleled in the world, and he did not deceive me sincerely.
Falling off the carriage and being assassinated, you can complete the counter-kill in an instant!
Some who had never experienced war even subconsciously took a few steps back.
Opening watermelons on a chessboard is too violent.
Oh yes, and that Yuan Shen.
In such a bloody scene, the watermelon juice splashed to his mouth, and he remained calm.
As expected of a celebrity, he is really handsome.
Among them were some of Hou Wanxing's cronies, who knew Hou Wanxing's true thoughts.
But at this time, there was only confusion and fear left.
Things are somewhat unexpected.
Didn't you agree to lurk inside Xiping County?
The scene just now was indeed something they did not expect.
But in detail, there is no problem.
The sudden crash of the emperor's car was an excellent opportunity for assassination.
If Hou Wanxing can successfully assassinate the king, there is a high probability that he will walk away.
After all, he was surrounded by the remnants of the Guiyi Army who had not received much training. They were the kind who would just run away if they wanted to, and there was no way they could stop Hou Wanxing.
Moreover, Hou Wanxing still has some cronies following him.
And only the emperor and Yuan Shen left the city.
Although there are follow-up supplies for relief and appeasement, they are still in preparation.
Even if the Guiyi soldiers in the city can react, it will take some time to chase them out again.
With this skill, Hou Wanxing would have left long ago and joined Pu Qianguang's army.
This is a great achievement, and it can even directly reverse the situation in the world, and let the general situation fall back into the hands of Donghu Babu.
But the problem is that Hou Wanxing miscalculated the difference in force between the two sides. Even the emperor who fell from the horse is the bravery of a king, and he cannot solve it.
And the brothers who watched Hou Wanxing move and acted together were a little stupid.
Hou Wanxing only had a precious bow in his hand at the time, and he could only use the bow string to kill the emperor.
You stand far away, can't you shoot arrows?
No matter how bad you are, you can use a knife or a gun to stab it!
Are you also holding bows and ready to reel?
It's all taken astray!
But these caring people, no matter how much they think in their hearts, they dare not reveal anything now.
The boss is dead, so he simply treats the big man as loyal to the end.
So someone came out immediately, and sold Hou Wanxing backhandedly:
"Your Majesty, this person has long had a secret affair with Pu Qianguang."
Someone betrayed the water again, and Liu Ke could have expected it.
After all, [dismounting] restricts having a bow in hand.
Without a bow in hand, there is no control at all.
Even if these people don't betray the truth, he still intends to find a reason to send the suspicious people to the prison for a political trial first.
"What are Hou Wanxing and Pu Qianguang secretly plotting?"
It would be easy for someone to betray the water, so Liu Ke immediately asked about important matters.
Hou Wanxing's previous behavior did not show any signs of taking refuge in Donghu, and he was completely loyal to the big man.
If Liu Ke hadn't seen Hou Wanxing with his own eyes, he wouldn't have seen any flaws after opening a few cheats.
If Zhong Xuan was allowed to go out of the city to appease him, he would definitely be deceived.
It should be explained that he chose to betray the water later, and he was sincere in the beginning.
Then something must have happened recently, and Pu Qianguang had enough bargaining chips in his hand, which made Hou Wanxing make the decision to go against his ancestors.
This made Liu Ke a little worried.
If the battle situation in Jingzhou is unstable, it will not be so good.
At this moment, a generous figure came running wildly from a distance.
The footsteps were so fast that even the soldiers of the Guiyi Army on the periphery didn't react.
Although the training level of these Guiyi soldiers outside the city is not high.
But it’s not like someone with bare feet and no horse can easily rush past him, right?
I saw that big man with a big body, rushing like lightning, straight towards the group of Guiyi soldiers.
On the way, I seemed to find something.
We turned back the same way.
Some Guiyi soldiers are unconvinced. We are also considered soldiers. How can we be so freely in and out by you?
They wanted to chase, but they didn't catch up.
And after the big man turned his head, he finally stopped beside the donkey cart.
Liu Ke showed a surprised expression:
"Yuan Yuanfu??"
Dian Chu was seconded by Han Qi. When he crossed the river in Baiyi to Changsha County, he discovered the meat shield 2.0, which is Yuanfu.
Yuan Fu has some strength in martial arts, but the most formidable one is the characteristic [Strong Walk Like Flying], that is, he can run fast.
If Liu Ke didn't speed up the donkey cart, and threw Yuan Fu under the cart, he would occasionally catch up.
Enough to see its foot strength.
"His Majesty!!"
At this time, Yuan Fu, who was still strong, looked exhausted.
His body was covered with a thick layer of dust, and he no longer knew what color the clothes were originally, it was just a piece of tattered dust.
The straw sandals that are popular among the big men under their feet have been worn down to the point where they can barely see their original form.
There was only one, and the other was about halfway, and it just took off and sprinted with bare feet.
The hair, which was originally black, is now dyed a layer of gray brown, and the hair sticking to the face is covered with sweat and mixed with dust.
His eyes were also red and swollen, obviously he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.
The cheeks became rough due to the long-term exposure to the wind and sun, and several tiny openings were cracked.
And as he breathes, those openings will open slightly.
Seeing him standing there panting, every breath looked awkward, but the perseverance in his eyes told everyone how firm his will was.
"Yuanfu, I've come all the way from Jingzhou, I've suffered for you."
Liu Ke stretched out his hand and directly embraced Yuan Fu, not paying attention to the dust on his body.
On the contrary, Yuan Fu felt embarrassed and wanted to avoid it consciously.
from.
All the way from Jingzhou?
The surrounding Guiyi soldiers were all shocked.
They just rushed from Suiping to Xiping. The two counties that are quite close to each other have already exhausted their efforts.
This person actually ran from Jingzhou to Runan alone?
Or fucking barefoot? ?
Such endurance and speed are really unbelievable.
And Yuan Shen, who was still comforting the soldiers, was also extremely confused when he saw it.
What kind of animals are there in the Han army?
(End of this chapter)
"Your Majesty, please be more careful."
Zhong Xuan's attitude is obvious.
Regardless of whether there are real Guiyi troops outside the city, or they are all Donghu soldiers pretending to be soldiers, he will not let them enter the city.
The friendly army is fine, but if it were the enemy army, Xiping County would be gone immediately.
The only thing to worry about is that it may chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army outside the city.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army in the city may also be a little dissatisfied when they see their former brothers who can only camp outside the city.
However, Zhong Xuan, as the most prestigious general among the Guiyi Army at this time, made this decision for the Guiyi Army soldiers, which could eliminate a lot of troubles.
While Liu Ke was thinking about it, he suddenly came down from the city and wanted to enter the city.
"Should have come to report."
Zang Liyuan glanced over and said:
"Why don't you just let him in, one person can't make troubles, listen to what he has to say, and know whose soldiers and horses are outside the city."
Liu Ke nodded and said:
"Don't rush to open the city gate, just let him in with a hanging basket."
After a while, the messenger entered the city in a gondola.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army on the top of the city were all very excited when they saw their familiar faces.
He is indeed a brother of the Guiyi Army, a reinforcement!
For a while, there was some commotion.
The solitary army guarded Xiping for several months, and now there are finally reinforcements, so how far is it from killing a way out? !
"My little one pays homage to His Majesty!"
The messenger saw Liu Ke surrounded by people at a glance, and knew that this was the Emperor of Han Dynasty, and he quickly bowed down.
"Ok?"
Liu Ke took a deep look at him. Ordinary soldiers of the Guiyi Army would feel a little panic when they saw him.
Not so with this messenger.
It seems that he has seen some people in the market, unlike most soldiers of the Guiyi Army who were born at the bottom.
At least a ranger.
"How did you come here? Who is the army outside the city?"
After Liu Ke paid more attention for a while, he asked about business.
"His Majesty!"
The Messenger bowed his hands:
"Outside the city is General Hou Wanxing, who is under the command of General Hou. General Hou is originally from the wealthy Suiping family, and he intends to join the Guiyi army in rebellion."
"It's a pity that General Zhang Yiping died afterwards, and no one could come forward to be the commander, so he didn't act rashly. He just hid some soldiers of the Guiyi Army who were disheartened after losing consecutive battles."
"Later, General Hou heard that in order to return to the rebel army, his majesty did not hesitate to ride into Runan alone and capture and kill the rebel general Zhang Dingguo. He even personally sat in Xiping County and repelled the attack of the Donghu army."
"So I took the opportunity to start an incident, brought soldiers and horses, and set off here..."
"Except for some young men called by General Hou from the countryside, there are still more than 200 Guiyi soldiers gathered, totaling [-] people!"
"With these three thousand people, we can line up the city wall, and Xiping County will be impregnable!"
Liu Ke nodded again and again, except that he still didn't explain why Pu Qianguang didn't send troops to intercept him, there was basically no contradiction.
Then he looked at Zhong Xuan.
Zhong Xuan recalled a bit, and said hesitantly:
"There is such a person."
Hou Wanxing's father, Hou Biao, was a small school student in Puqianbu.
He married a Hu woman, so Hou Wanxing was considered a mixed race of Hu and Han.
Since he was a child, he was deeply influenced by Donghu people's fierce and martial arts style. He is informal, good at riding and shooting, and brave and aggressive.
Not only in Runan, but also in the whole Yuzhou, there are some poor names.
Pu Qianbu recruited several times, but he declined all of them.
Later, when Zhang Yiping rebelled, Hou Wanxing deliberately summoned local warriors to follow him, and the two sides also exchanged letters.
But later Zhang Yiping died, and the Guiyi army turned into birds and beasts and scattered, and Hou Wanxing had no news.
"If that's the case, it's a loyal man."
Liu Ke nodded slightly.
Although Hou Wanxing retreated bravely, everyone can understand.
After all, the Guiyi Army at that time really had no future in sight.
Even if you have the intention to return to the Han Dynasty, you cannot put yourself in danger.
Even the generals in the Han army did not give hope to the Guiyi army.
If Liu Ke hadn't made this trip himself, the Guiyi Army would have been gone.
This does not mean that Hou Wanxing has other ideas.
It can even be said that Hou Wanxing not only has the heart to serve the Han Dynasty, but also has a certain wisdom and strategy, has a certain overall situation, and can see the situation clearly.
But at this moment, Zhong Xuan stepped forward and whispered:
"Your Majesty, even if the person outside the city is Hou Wanxing, don't trust him lightly. You must never open the city!"
Liu Ke's face remained unchanged, and he thought for a while.
Can you believe it? I don’t know yet?
At the same time, Zang Li also stepped forward, lowered his voice and said:
"Your Majesty, Pu Qianguang is a famous general in Pu Qian's department. He made a plan before moving. It is absolutely impossible for Hou Wan to wake up and join our army in Xiping County. There must be something strange in it!"
Zang Li not only provided all the information about Pu Qianbu, but also made a reliable analysis based on the character of his old teammates.
This wave of people who voted against Han really did so sincerely.
But Liu Ke still didn't decide easily. He stepped forward to help the messenger up and asked Xiang Zhongxuan:
"Get some people from the army and see if anyone knows him."
Zhong Xuan roughly drew the appearance of the messenger, and several soldiers guarding the city rushed over immediately.
Don't tell me, this messenger's status is quite high.
Before Zhang Yiping died, he took the remnants of the rebel army and guarded in Suiping.
Later, he was surrounded and suppressed by Puqian Yonggu's confidant, Quanyi guarding Yuzhou.
Later, like most of the remnants of the Guiyi Army, they disappeared without a trace.
At first, they thought that they were defeated and died, or they were disarmed and returned to the fields, or they fled into the mountains.
Unexpectedly, it was Hou Wanxing who hid him.
This is another great achievement!
Liu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, and said:
"This is true. Hou Wanxing has made great contributions to the country, and I should personally welcome him."
"It's not that the general doesn't recognize Hou Wanxing's achievements."
Zhong Xuan sighed and said helplessly:
"This timing is too coincidental, and Pu Qianguang has not mobilized troops to intercept him, and he is not deaf or blind!"
"Even if Hou Wanxing is reliable, are the three thousand soldiers who accompany him also reliable?"
"With the current situation in Xiping County, even if there are only dozens of people, it is unbearable."
"and"
Zhong Xuan hesitated a bit, and finally said frankly:
"The soldiers outside the city have not received formal training, and they have escaped before, and they have not seen Zhang Dingguo's death, so they have not calmed down."
"Even if it is reliable for a while, can it still be reliable when it encounters a crisis?"
Liu Ke couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Zhong Xuan's worries are not without reason.
Even though they were officers and soldiers of the Guiyi Army, most of them were defeated soldiers because they did not stay in Xiping County.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away directly.
Now watching the return of the Guiyi Army, they are back again.
Even though his intentions are commendable, there are still some people who fish in troubled waters.
This has to be guarded against.
But only a moment later, Liu Ke's brows loosened, and he smiled, saying:
"So what?"
"Don't let them enter the city now, do you still think about relying on them in times of crisis?"
"Treat people with sincerity, only then will someone treat you with sincerity."
This is what Liu Ke has always believed, including Wei Chengxian.
Although he was suspicious and made corresponding countermeasures, he still handed over the heavy responsibility to Wei Chengxian.
Once Wei Chengxian sincerely takes refuge in him, he will be able to make great contributions.
The big man is now able to produce a large number of capable people, all because of his sincerity in exchange for his sincerity.
After all, those who were not sincere enough had their homes confiscated.
Zhong Xuan and Zang Li were speechless after hearing this.
But they still insisted not to let Hou Wanxing bring the rebel army into the city.
It is a good thing that the reinforcements came, but the problem is that the timing is too coincidental, and Pu Qianguang did not intercept them, so there are doubts.
And now that Xiping County has been completely guarded, it doesn't make much difference to let people in, just throw them out of the city, there is no need for extra trouble.
Both of them knew deep down that the emperor might have his own ideas.
But don't they serve as courtiers just to do this kind of dirty work?
The best result is that the emperor wanted to let the rebels into the city and treat people with sincerity, but because the people below them kept persuading them, they had to do it as a last resort, so they could only be placed outside the city.
The emperor got the reputation, but his ministers took the blame.
After this matter is over, it will be easier for the emperor to come forward to appease him in person, and he will be famous again.
Zhong Xuan glanced at the emperor, then at the expectant messenger, and exchanged glances with Zang Li.
It’s hard to explain this matter clearly, so let’s take the blame yourself!
He immediately said:
"Your Majesty, the last general will go and tell Hou Wanxing, let him set up camp with his back against the city wall, and prepare some wine and meat to appease the soldiers, how about it?"
Zhong Xuan's proposal seems to be a way to get the best of both worlds.
If the Guiyi Army is stationed outside the city, Xiping County will definitely remain safe.
But Hou Wanxing and Gui Yijun will inevitably have complaints in their hearts.
After much deliberation, even this may be Pu Qianguang's scheme.
Responding to all changes, this army was deliberately placed under Xiping County.
Pu Qianguang might even have figured it out, because of the fear of Zhongxuan and Zang Li, this army could only be stationed outside the city.
And at this time, if he leads an army to attack again, it is very likely that this army will be scattered directly.
This is not just to defeat a soldier, but also to defeat in full view.
Among them are the righteous soldiers and the former brothers of the soldiers who returned to the righteous army in the city.
As a result, the morale of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army guarding the city will inevitably plummet.
This can be described as a heart-attacking strategy!
The emperor's ability to firmly hold Xiping County relied on the prestige he had earned throughout his life and his persistence in never abandoning the Guiyi Army, a lone army.
Pu Qianguang's move, although he did not move, actually hit Qicun.
Let all the monarchs and ministers fall into a dilemma.
Even Zhong Xuan could vaguely guess this possibility, but because of fear, he had to let Hou Wanxing's reinforcements be stationed outside the city.
You just have to admit Hong Guoguo's conspiracy.
Zang Li also chimed in and said:
"Your Majesty, you must be defensive!"
Liu Ke looked thoughtful.
Emperor Diaozong knew that King Qin's soldiers and horses were camped outside the city to defend against the enemy, and the gates of the city were locked tightly to prevent anyone from entering the city.
Liu Ke naturally knew it too.
If Hou Wanxing's home was not confiscated and his family was executed at Ling Chi, his family had to move three thousand miles away. It was a pity that his surname was Hou instead of Yuan.
After thinking about it, he was about to allow Zhong Xuan to go out of the city to appease him, when suddenly he felt a ghost in his heart.
The situation is different, I have something to hang on to.
So when the words came to my lips, the taste changed:
"The heart of guarding against loyal ministers, but you must not have it!"
Zang Li was taken aback for a moment, what kind of logic is this.
Then the next sentence, is it necessary to harm others?
It's kind of immoral.
"What Zhong Xuan said is reasonable, and I also know that you have some scruples in your heart."
Liu Ke continued to speak slowly:
"But it happened suddenly, and the situation is not very clear."
"Whether it be Hou Wanxing or the rest of the Guiyi Army soldiers, they were all people who threw their heads and blood for the big man."
"Even if someone left halfway, ran away, or was lured by profit, secretly planning something, they can't erase the things they have done and the merits they deserve."
Liu Ke looked around, paused, and said in a deep voice:
"You say, yes or no?"
All the generals looked at each other.
This is really not.
Zhang Dingguo had meritorious service at first, even a considerable contribution, and he was listed as a general by Zhongxuan who went south, but later...
Die a bit miserable.
They all went to the Donghu barracks, and they were caught alive and cut alive, so don't mention how wronged they are.
Liu Ke continued:
"I know, you are all afraid of another incident involving Zhang Dingguo."
"The Guiyi Army fell to this point because of Zhang Dingguo's repetition."
"But this matter, should it remain in the hearts of many soldiers?"
"They are all loyal ministers and righteous men who risked their lives to rebel in order to return to Hannan."
"I'm determined not to chill people's hearts because of such trivial things!"
"Even if they are stationed outside the city, I will personally go to comfort them and welcome them!"
Zhong Xuan was a little moved when he heard this, but when he heard that the emperor was going to go out of the city to appease him in his place, he still wanted to give some advice.
Although the effect is definitely better if the emperor goes personally, it is also more dangerous!
Liu Ke glared at him, suppressed Zhong Xuan's words, and then directly triggered the [Speaker] destiny and fooled wildly:
"We are facing a formidable enemy. Do you still want to talk to me about the pros and cons?"
"If you can't even trust loyal people, why did I ride into Runan alone?"
"Even though there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den outside the city, and there are three thousand Donghu troops, can't I fight my way out and escape unscathed?"
As soon as this remark came out, many people fell silent.
The emperor was a macho man who captured the rebel general from a camp of 5 people with fifty cavalry and retreated from his body.
The Holy Emperor was chased by five hundred horses and crossed the river by a mud donkey.
Three thousand soldiers and horses
From the facts, it seems that there is no big problem.
Could it be that they were worrying too much?
In fact, it is also possible to think from another angle.
If these three thousand soldiers and horses are actually Donghu people in disguise, or they have secretly defected to Donghu.
What kind of posture should they use to run, so as not to be chased and killed by the emperor?
It is not impossible to drive 3000 people in a donkey cart.
Liu Yu, the king of the Song Dynasty, did this before, chasing thousands of people by himself.
But today's Holy Son, although there are some rumors of killing his father and brother, he has always respected his ancestors.
Zhong Xuan wanted to speak but stopped, stopped talking and wanted to, finally met Liu Ke's gaze, and stopped talking.
He was moved.
The meaning of the emperor is very clear.
Will not let down any Hanchen.
Even if there were traitors outside the city, there were duplicitous people, and there were people plotting something, he was still willing to be fooled.
I would rather be deceived by 1 villains than give up on any righteous man.
The soldier swallowed the saliva in his throat, and his eyes were a little moist.
I was so moved that I couldn't add more.
At this moment, he fully understood that standing in front of them was not only the Holy Emperor, but also the king of a country.
He is also a strange man who is willing to sacrifice his life for the loyalty of a big man.
No wonder the emperor wanted to promote Gongyang Confucianism, not only retaliated against the Donghu people, but also reciprocated the righteous men!
Zang Li also took a deep breath.
He never thought that the emperor would have such affection and loyalty to the Guiyi Army who were farmers and rangers.
They are full of deep respect and indescribable emotions.
This is what an emperor should have, right?
Although Pu Qian Yonggu can be regarded as a wise emperor, he is still far behind the serious emperor of Han Dynasty.
Not to mention the best martial arts in ancient and modern times.
Just in terms of size, it is far inferior.
The emperor's tolerance and trust in the Guiyi Army is enough to move anyone with a conscience.
This cannot be faked, and it is definitely not a show.
It can be seen from the fact that the emperor rode into Runan alone, and now it is nothing but a revelation.
In the field, some people sobbed softly, some people lowered their heads silently, and some people clenched their fists tightly.
They are all expressing their determination silently.
This time the emperor did not use arrogant force or exaggerated achievements to win their hearts.
Instead, they use unmatched trust and respect to make them willing to give everything for him, even their lives.
Liu Ke walked down the wall calmly, since he was already limping, he didn't talk too much.
Just go out the door.
He only brought Yuan Shen with him.
Although Yuan Shen did not become an official, he could not help himself at this time.
Moreover, this man still has some talent, and he can put it to good use.
[Name: Yuan Shen (Sergeant)]
【Age: 30】
【Command: 67; Force: 44; Wisdom: 75; Administration: 81】
[Characteristics: posture, comfort, calligraphy and painting]
In terms of basic ability alone, the "sergeant" Yuan Shen was basically on par with He Hong, an idiot who had no other uses other than being stingy.
But he is handsome, and it can even be written into his characteristics.
Moreover, he is still "a master of calligraphy and painting", coupled with his status as a branch of the Yuan family, he is properly following the route of celebrities.
If it is put in peacetime, it may be even more famous than those good generals.
Now just relying on the characteristic of "soothing" can also be of great use.
And putting this person by his side, Liu Ke himself felt pleasing to the eye.
But he said the Guiyi Army outside the city and Hou Wanxing.
Hou Wanxing saw that the defenders in the city used hanging baskets to hoist the messenger to the top of the city, and he already understood a little bit.
Some soldiers also felt that they were losing face and came to Xiping County full of enthusiasm, but they were poured cold water on them.
Although they each had their own faults before, even if the emperor came in person, they were still a lone army in Runan County, and Xiping County was still an isolated city.
They are able to come here, all at a risk.
Even if it is the idea of seeking wealth and insurance, they still have practical actions.
Hou Wanxing glanced at the soldiers around him and knew how they were feeling.
But he didn't care.
He really planned to be a loyal minister of the great man.
This was the plan even when they led the gathered and hidden remnants of the Guiyi Army from Suiping to Xiping County.
He even had the consciousness to fight a fierce battle with Pu Qianguang's army and take risks to break through.
But at the last minute, he changed his mind.
Pu Qianguang did not stop him, only a messenger came secretly to deliver a letter to him.
The content of the letter is also very simple, it is Pu Qianbu's troop dispatch.
But it's shocking enough.
But after Hou Wanxing thought about it for a while, he gave up the idea of continuing to join the Han Dynasty.
Even if submitting this letter to the emperor would be a great achievement, he didn't intend to commit suicide.
Because the emperor is gone.
Hou Wanxing prided himself on being both civil and military.
Naturally, it is clear that if everything in the letter is true, the emperor will not be able to escape.Even if he could really ride on a donkey cart, or even if a mud donkey fell from the sky, as in the legend, only one person could escape.
Whether it was Zhong Xuan who returned to the rebel army, the rebel general Zang Li, or Lu Fengfu.
One counts as one, and none of them can escape.
If he joins the big man at this time and goes to Xiping County, he obviously won't be able to survive.
So Hou Wanxing secretly reached an agreement with Pu Qianguang.
Zang Li can't be the inner ghost, he will be.
He will give the information that Zang Li can't give.
Moreover, Hou Wanxing has absolute confidence that he will not be discovered.
Because before receiving the letter, everything he did was to prepare for surrender.
He had been in contact with Zhang Yiping for a long time and wanted to start a fight.
Although there were many changes in the follow-up, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army were still hidden.
These are all facts, there is no reason to even be suspicious, and there will never be any flaws.
At most, it is suspicious that Pu Qianguang did not send an army to stop him.
But Pu Qianguang said that the rulers and ministers in Xiping County must have expected this. The wise plan did not lie in the fact that Quan Yi, the prefect of Yuzhou under Liu Bin, made a perfect plan for this.
This is a trick in the middle, and it is precisely because of this doubt that his reunion will appear more real.
Hou Wanxing also felt that it was indeed feasible.
Moreover, he had also heard of Quan Yi's name.
It is said that this time the dispatch of troops and generals, the ultimate move against the Guiyi army was also done by Quan Yi.
Selling him is of no benefit at all, only by allowing him to successfully lurk among the Guiyi army will there be any benefit.
So Hou Wanxing came over so carelessly.
Kabra——
To his surprise, the messenger did not return the same way in a hanging basket.
Rather, the gates are open.
A donkey cart stepped out.
"Soldiers, you have worked hard!"
All the generals outside the city were still in a daze.
There were only two people on the donkey cart.
One is a handsome guy visible to the naked eye.
The face is comparable to that of Pan An and Song Yu in ancient times, and every inch appears extremely harmonious and perfect.
Whenever the breeze blows, the robe and long hair will flutter gently, with an outstanding appearance.
But such a handsome man is not as eye-catching as the man driving the donkey.
Some people even vaguely saw the real dragon companion, and subconsciously rubbed their eyes before they came back to their senses.
[Tianzi Xiangrui: When others see you, they will occasionally look at you and have hallucinations]
This passive destiny, which is maintained all the time, has a particularly low trigger probability.
Occasionally, it will take effect under special circumstances, and Liu Ke has never paid much attention to it.
This time it was just one or two soldiers, nothing more than a blink of an eye.
Hou Wanxing didn't care because he didn't see the real dragon companion.
But this did not prevent him from recognizing the emperor.
At this time, if someone wants to go out of the city to appease, it is either Zhongxuan or the emperor himself.
But Zhong Xuan obviously does not have this kind of majesty that makes Yuan Shen, a rare handsome man in the world, eclipse.
"Caomin Hou Wanxing pays homage to His Majesty!!"
Hou Wanxing rushed forward to bow down.
Liu Ke motioned to get up, and greeted many soldiers of the Guiyi Army.
Can't appease you alone!
"The grassroots are incompetent, they can only gather three thousand people!"
Seeing the emperor like this, Hou Wanxing's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears.
Liu Ke couldn't help but take a few more glances.
[Name: Hou Wanxing (Bangshi)]
【Age: 26】
【Command: 87; Force: 78; Wisdom: 93; Administration: 86】
[Characteristics: Cunning, Whale Owl]
It's a hunk.
Seeing this, he couldn't help itching his teeth, and wanted to pull Zhang Dingguo out to whip his corpse.
If Zhang Dingguo hadn't rebelled, the Guiyi Army would have had three strong men: Zhang Yiping, Zhong Xuan, and Hou Wanxing.
Fully capable of a big ticket.
It's a pity that if you die, you will fall.
This Hou Wanxing is no longer believable.
Although Hou Wanxing's acting skills are good, Liu Ke can still spot him at a glance.
If you don't make a show of it, I may have to use another way to judge.
But if you want to act in front of this [Emperor Actor], you are actually playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
He was a man who could make Hou Junyan pretend to be Guan Gong alive just by teaching him knowledge and solving doubts.
"Pretending to surrender"
Liu Ke suddenly had an idea in his mind, but there was no evidence at hand.
You can't directly say that you have a problem, can you?
After all, Hou Wanxing didn't reveal anything, and everything he did so far was beneficial to the big man.
Hou Wanxing had no idea that his acting skills had been exposed. He wiped his tears and howled:
"The grassroots thought that they could follow the Guiyi Army to rise up and share the worries of His Majesty."
"But I don't want General Zhang to be assassinated by thieves."
"As soon as General Zhang died, the common people became a little timid and did not dare to act rashly."
"In this time of national calamity, I only dared to use your majesty's remaining prestige to gather some soldiers after your majesty repelled Pu Qianguang's army. I'm really ashamed."
Hou Wanxing was still a little complacent, he felt that what he said was impeccable and level.
Not only did he explain his situation, he also gave the emperor a small slap on the dragon's fart.
Who is not confused by this?
Even if there is a slight suspicion, there is no sign of it.
In time, he could win the emperor's trust.
Hou Wanxing is also very confident in his ability.
There are three or two cats and dogs in Xiping County. It is the right time to employ people, so they can easily enter the center.
It's not a bad idea to even let Pu Qianguang come to attack and perform a bitter trick.
Anyway, except for him and a few cronies, most of them are the remnants of the Guiyi Army who sincerely voted.
He doesn't feel bad when he dies, and even happens to be his identity.
Liu Ke did not turn a blind eye to Hou Wanxing's performance, but cooperated very much.
He held Hou Wanxing's hand, but the expression on his face was as if he cared sincerely, and his voice was extremely gentle, so he comforted him:
"In these troubled times, everything is difficult. General Zhang's death is indeed a great loss."
"You should have some scruples, but you are able to hide the remnants of the Guiyi army, and now you gather soldiers and come to join the army. This is great loyalty and bravery."
When Hou Wanxing heard this, he felt even more elated.
But on the outside, he still tried his best to show gratitude, and Humu trembled with tears in his eyes.
Liu Ke continued:
"You should also know the current situation in Xiping County."
"It's not that I don't want to let the soldiers go to the city to rest, but it's really inconvenient because it's an extraordinary time."
Hou Wanxing quickly bowed down and said:
"Caomin knows that Caomin will cooperate with His Majesty to appease the soldiers!"
Liu Ke nodded heavily.
Then he pulled out a bow:
"General Hou came here through danger and made great contributions. I don't have much in my possession, so I present this bow as a gift."
This bow is about four feet long. It is dark black in color and smooth throughout, giving people a sense of calmness and nobility.
At both ends of the bow, there are also two bright white jade inlaid, echoing the color of the bow.
Although it is obviously not suitable for battle formation, it is undoubtedly a rare treasure.
"Thank you Your Majesty!!"
Hou Wanxing took the bow and was also very pleasantly surprised.
Although he came from a wealthy family, he had never touched this kind of bow, and his trembling fingers clearly revealed his excitement at the moment.
He glanced at Yuan Shen without leaving a trace, he should only be a nobleman from such a noble family to have such a precious bow!
Yuan Shen was expressionless.
This is what he has at home.
When Zhongxuan collected bows and arrows, the ones collected were under the banner that the emperor would use them for military training, so he dared not stop them at all.
Liu Ke did not delay the matter, and said:
"Let's go, General Hou and Yuan Qing, follow me to appease the soldiers."
"Yes!"
The two immediately handed each other over.
Yuan Shen got out of the donkey cart first, and was going to welcome Liu Ke down again.
Liu Ke was about to get out of the car, but his movements seemed to be too hasty. He stepped on his left foot and stepped on his right foot.
He wanted to steady himself, but his speed was too fast. Before he could catch Yuan Shen, who came forward to greet him, he felt his feet slip away and his whole body tilted forward.
So much so that for a while, they all showed some terrified expressions, and a trace of tension flashed in their eyes.
Seeing this, Yuan Shen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, but time was too tight and his reaction was too slow, so it was already too late.
Everyone could see that the whole body of that noble holy son of heaven seemed to be slowed down by time, slowly falling to the ground.
Some people suddenly had some inexplicable emotions in their hearts, and they took steps.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Ke fell off the donkey cart clumsily like this, and his ass fell, bringing up a cloud of dust.
"Wow ya ya!!!"
Hou Wanxing, who was beside the donkey cart, screamed strangely and rushed over.
He copied the bow in his hand, and wanted to put the bowstring around Liu Ke's neck.
At the same time, there were also a few soldiers with bows, who also rushed forward.
The whole atmosphere froze in an instant.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army on the top of the city watched the scene, a little impatient in their hearts, suffering from powerlessness, they could only watch.
It even feels strangely familiar.
Hou Wanxing's movements were quick, with a fierce look in his eyes, and a bit of cunning.
The whole body, like a cheetah, quickly rushed to Liu Ke's side.
Liu Ke is not cowardly at all, he is just using [get off the horse] destiny to fish and enforce the law.
This destiny only takes effect on "enemies" who "hold a bow".
He used "Dismount the Horse" to train the soldiers of the Guiyi Army, and he had to prepare broken bows in advance, and he had to repeatedly declare that the soldiers should treat him as a Donghu person and an enemy in order to maintain the effect.
After being prepared, Liu Ke quickly stood up.
Even if he could feel Hou Wanxing's killing intent, he felt relaxed and freehand.
After all, his current strength value is 70 points, which is not too different from Hou Wanxing's 78 points.
And he also has a destiny.
At the same time, the soldiers also picked up their bows and quickly surrounded Liu Ke.
However, his movements were not very coordinated and his eyes looked a little surprised. Obviously, the current situation was too unexpected.
Yuan Shen on the side had no choice but to ask him to write and draw. He really has this level, but he was asked to beat someone up.
forget it.
But the emperor is in front, if something happens, he will definitely not survive.
He simply closed his eyes and stood there dumbly.
However, the pale Yuan Shen, who had no usual demeanor at all, was still as handsome and attractive as ever.
Liu Ke simply used Yuan Shen as a pillar and surrounded him.
Taking two steps around, taking advantage of Hou Wanxing's stagger, there was no gap to follow.
With a clang, a chessboard fell down, and the skin of the watermelon split instantly, and the bright red flesh splashed with juice.
Some were flattened by the force of the impact, while others flew far away following the watermelon rind.
The surrounding air was instantly filled with a sweet and greasy aroma.
That is the taste of summer.
"."
Afterwards, the bow-wielding soldiers who rushed over also treated themselves as small watermelons and opened pancakes.
"He killed the king! You all saw it!"
Liu Ke spread his hands, and he didn't want to, but Hou Wanxing was hostile to him, and he was under control, so he could only keep up with the output.
Yuan Shen just woke up like a dream at this time, looking at Hou Wanxing who was still intact on the ground just now, he shuddered.
A group of volunteer soldiers were dumbfounded.
Emperor Han was brave and unparalleled in the world, and he did not deceive me sincerely.
Falling off the carriage and being assassinated, you can complete the counter-kill in an instant!
Some who had never experienced war even subconsciously took a few steps back.
Opening watermelons on a chessboard is too violent.
Oh yes, and that Yuan Shen.
In such a bloody scene, the watermelon juice splashed to his mouth, and he remained calm.
As expected of a celebrity, he is really handsome.
Among them were some of Hou Wanxing's cronies, who knew Hou Wanxing's true thoughts.
But at this time, there was only confusion and fear left.
Things are somewhat unexpected.
Didn't you agree to lurk inside Xiping County?
The scene just now was indeed something they did not expect.
But in detail, there is no problem.
The sudden crash of the emperor's car was an excellent opportunity for assassination.
If Hou Wanxing can successfully assassinate the king, there is a high probability that he will walk away.
After all, he was surrounded by the remnants of the Guiyi Army who had not received much training. They were the kind who would just run away if they wanted to, and there was no way they could stop Hou Wanxing.
Moreover, Hou Wanxing still has some cronies following him.
And only the emperor and Yuan Shen left the city.
Although there are follow-up supplies for relief and appeasement, they are still in preparation.
Even if the Guiyi soldiers in the city can react, it will take some time to chase them out again.
With this skill, Hou Wanxing would have left long ago and joined Pu Qianguang's army.
This is a great achievement, and it can even directly reverse the situation in the world, and let the general situation fall back into the hands of Donghu Babu.
But the problem is that Hou Wanxing miscalculated the difference in force between the two sides. Even the emperor who fell from the horse is the bravery of a king, and he cannot solve it.
And the brothers who watched Hou Wanxing move and acted together were a little stupid.
Hou Wanxing only had a precious bow in his hand at the time, and he could only use the bow string to kill the emperor.
You stand far away, can't you shoot arrows?
No matter how bad you are, you can use a knife or a gun to stab it!
Are you also holding bows and ready to reel?
It's all taken astray!
But these caring people, no matter how much they think in their hearts, they dare not reveal anything now.
The boss is dead, so he simply treats the big man as loyal to the end.
So someone came out immediately, and sold Hou Wanxing backhandedly:
"Your Majesty, this person has long had a secret affair with Pu Qianguang."
Someone betrayed the water again, and Liu Ke could have expected it.
After all, [dismounting] restricts having a bow in hand.
Without a bow in hand, there is no control at all.
Even if these people don't betray the truth, he still intends to find a reason to send the suspicious people to the prison for a political trial first.
"What are Hou Wanxing and Pu Qianguang secretly plotting?"
It would be easy for someone to betray the water, so Liu Ke immediately asked about important matters.
Hou Wanxing's previous behavior did not show any signs of taking refuge in Donghu, and he was completely loyal to the big man.
If Liu Ke hadn't seen Hou Wanxing with his own eyes, he wouldn't have seen any flaws after opening a few cheats.
If Zhong Xuan was allowed to go out of the city to appease him, he would definitely be deceived.
It should be explained that he chose to betray the water later, and he was sincere in the beginning.
Then something must have happened recently, and Pu Qianguang had enough bargaining chips in his hand, which made Hou Wanxing make the decision to go against his ancestors.
This made Liu Ke a little worried.
If the battle situation in Jingzhou is unstable, it will not be so good.
At this moment, a generous figure came running wildly from a distance.
The footsteps were so fast that even the soldiers of the Guiyi Army on the periphery didn't react.
Although the training level of these Guiyi soldiers outside the city is not high.
But it’s not like someone with bare feet and no horse can easily rush past him, right?
I saw that big man with a big body, rushing like lightning, straight towards the group of Guiyi soldiers.
On the way, I seemed to find something.
We turned back the same way.
Some Guiyi soldiers are unconvinced. We are also considered soldiers. How can we be so freely in and out by you?
They wanted to chase, but they didn't catch up.
And after the big man turned his head, he finally stopped beside the donkey cart.
Liu Ke showed a surprised expression:
"Yuan Yuanfu??"
Dian Chu was seconded by Han Qi. When he crossed the river in Baiyi to Changsha County, he discovered the meat shield 2.0, which is Yuanfu.
Yuan Fu has some strength in martial arts, but the most formidable one is the characteristic [Strong Walk Like Flying], that is, he can run fast.
If Liu Ke didn't speed up the donkey cart, and threw Yuan Fu under the cart, he would occasionally catch up.
Enough to see its foot strength.
"His Majesty!!"
At this time, Yuan Fu, who was still strong, looked exhausted.
His body was covered with a thick layer of dust, and he no longer knew what color the clothes were originally, it was just a piece of tattered dust.
The straw sandals that are popular among the big men under their feet have been worn down to the point where they can barely see their original form.
There was only one, and the other was about halfway, and it just took off and sprinted with bare feet.
The hair, which was originally black, is now dyed a layer of gray brown, and the hair sticking to the face is covered with sweat and mixed with dust.
His eyes were also red and swollen, obviously he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.
The cheeks became rough due to the long-term exposure to the wind and sun, and several tiny openings were cracked.
And as he breathes, those openings will open slightly.
Seeing him standing there panting, every breath looked awkward, but the perseverance in his eyes told everyone how firm his will was.
"Yuanfu, I've come all the way from Jingzhou, I've suffered for you."
Liu Ke stretched out his hand and directly embraced Yuan Fu, not paying attention to the dust on his body.
On the contrary, Yuan Fu felt embarrassed and wanted to avoid it consciously.
from.
All the way from Jingzhou?
The surrounding Guiyi soldiers were all shocked.
They just rushed from Suiping to Xiping. The two counties that are quite close to each other have already exhausted their efforts.
This person actually ran from Jingzhou to Runan alone?
Or fucking barefoot? ?
Such endurance and speed are really unbelievable.
And Yuan Shen, who was still comforting the soldiers, was also extremely confused when he saw it.
What kind of animals are there in the Han army?
