Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 117 Military Power
Seeing that Hua Xiong was beheaded by Guan Yu, all the generals in Sishui's gate panicked, not knowing what to do.Now there are only two people who can take command of the armies. One is Li Su, but it is a pity that he entered the general as a counselor and is not good at leading troops; Under Hua Xiong's pressure, he has no real power in his hands.

"General Zhao, hurry up and order the closed army to retreat back to Guanzhong, and strictly deploy defenses. You only need to be on guard, not like going to war." Liu Bian said at this time, his implication was naturally to allow Zhao Cen to take the opportunity to take over the leaderless [-] soldiers. The control of Xiliang's army, in this way, the Sishui Pass is considered to have fallen into Zhao Cen's hands.

"No!" Li Su held the long sword worn by his waist with one hand, and pulled it out with a "clang" sound. The tip of the sword slanted and approached Liu Bian's neck: "His Royal Highness Hongnong, you want to take this opportunity to seduce Is General Zhao Cen seizing power?"

Liu Bian snorted coldly. He could tell from Li Su's subconsciously trembling sword blade that he was stern, and didn't dare to hurt himself, so he didn't have too much fear, but pointed his fingers and said: " Right now, the coalition forces of the [-]th Route princes are gathered outside the pass, and General Hua Xiong has already died in battle. If there is no one to command the [-] Xiliang army, would it be possible for them to break through the pass? Apart from General Zhao Cen, you can find the second a suitable candidate?"

Li Su gritted his teeth, knowing that what Liu Bian said was the truth, but Zhao Cen was a little dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo in the first place, and had to rely on Dong Zhuo due to pressure, but now that Liu Bian has shown up, once he controls the military power, What should he do if he has objections?

But this is not the time for him to think. The camp of the princes outside the pass has been shouting loudly since Hua Xiong was beheaded. He saw the gate move, and vaguely saw the figures of soldiers in vests walking back and forth inside. , with the strength of the 20 army of the coalition of princes, the Sishui Pass may really be breached in an instant.Once the gate is broken, even if he escapes back to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo will definitely not let him go easily.

Thinking of Dong Zhuo's tyrannical methods, Li Su couldn't help but shudder. He stared at Zhao Cen bitterly and said, "I hope that General Zhao will serve the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly, and will not agree with the rebels of the princes outside the pass. I will write an emergency document and inform Grand Master Dong." , I ask him to send troops to support, and the heavy responsibility of guarding the pass depends entirely on General Zhao, and I also ask His Royal Highness King Hongnong to go with me, so as not to close the sword and arrow without eyes and hurt the body."

With a wave of his hand, dozens of soldiers behind him encircled Liu Bian and Li Su, protecting them from going to the pass.

Although Li Su said he was worried that Liu Bian would be injured, he actually wanted to take him as a hostage to guard against Zhao Cen.This time, Li Su brought 200 of his personal guards, and he only needed to guard Liu Bian. In this way, according to Zhao Cen's cautious and timid character, he would not dare to act recklessly, and only waited for Dong Zhuo's reinforcements to arrive. It's not too late to clean up this stuff.The so-called literary generals are the most poisonous, and that's exactly what happened. According to Zhao Cen, a simple-minded military general, how could he have expected Li Su's idea of ​​settling accounts in the future?
Seeing Li Su trapped Liu Bian, Zhao Cen couldn't help but be full of anger, but Liu Bian smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to quickly take over the command of the army.

With the departure of Liu Bian and Li Su, the [-] Xiliang army outside the pass was transferred back to the pass by Zhao Cen, and Hua Xiong's headless body was also taken back to the pass.Just when the army had just withdrawn, the army of the princes had already swarmed down, planning to tackle the key problem in one fell swoop.Fortunately, the [-] troops left to guard the pass were mainly defensive units, most of them were archers and crossbowmen.

If 20 death-defying troops braved the arrows to attack by force at this time, with the strength of 2 follow-up troops, they would surely be able to easily capture the Luoyang gateway, Sishui Pass.It's a pity that the hearts of the princes are not in harmony. Most of them have [-] or [-] horses. Who is willing to let their own soldiers take the lead?Seeing this rain of arrows, they couldn't withdraw their troops in time, and missed a great opportunity in vain.Although the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang wanted to break through the pass, they had no choice but to have too few soldiers, which was of no help to the big event. They could only watch helplessly as the returning [-] Xiliang army closed and deployed again.

Although Zhao Cen was a bit timid and cowardly, he had participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he was not a general like Li Su who had no experience in marching and fighting. Once he took over the command of the entire army, he immediately began to transfer troops The generals were sent not only to arrange defensive measures to close the gate, but also to block the gate with big stones to prevent it from being knocked open by the stone-pulling objects.Originally, the gate was designed and built to be very strong. After this blockage, unless the army of the princes used the ladder to climb forcibly, it would never be able to break through the gate.

Liu Bian followed Li Su into the commander-in-chief's mansion in Guanzhong, and then he ordered his two hundred guards to firmly control the entire mansion. At this time, Hua Xiong's body was also brought in and placed on the in the government.Beside his body, the Qinglong Yanyue Saber was lying horizontally covered with blood, it was not known whether it was left on Hua Xiong's body or the previous general who was beheaded by him.

Those who wield the sword will eventually die by the sword.With this sword, Hua Xiong became so famous that the princes outside the pass were so scared that no one dared to fight him, but he also died because of the soul-stirring sound on the sword. If not, maybe he could escape from Guan Yu's sword. With his skill, if he escapes, he may not die.

It's time for this knife to return to its true owner.Liu Bian walked over and was about to pick up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the ground.

Suddenly, his shoulders tightened, but two soldiers from Xiliang held his shoulders, one left and one right. Li Su came over and said with a sneer, "His Royal Highness Hongnong, please forgive me for being rude. , Your Highness is fish and meat, please don’t move around." He waved his hand casually, and two soldiers came over and lifted the Qinglong Saber aside.

Although Li Su had never seen Liu Bian's martial arts, he had seen Hua Xiong's faint fear of Liu Bian from Hua Xiong's eyes, and Liu Bian had just lightly hit him with the Green Dragon Saber that day. Kneeling on the ground, the huge force was still fresh in his memory.The Azure Dragon Saber weighs 82 catties, even Hua Xiong is not very comfortable in using it, but Liu Bian holds it with ease and is extremely flexible.Therefore, in Li Su's mind, Liu Ben's force was already comparable to Hua Xiong's, and he needed to be on guard all the time to prevent him from violently attacking him.

Liu Bian glanced at him, his shoulders shook violently, and he threw the two Xiliang sergeants away, but then he heard the continuous sound of "噢, 咖, 咟, 咟!" All Xiliang soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another and stared at him, while the soldiers outside the door also drew their longbows one after another, and pointed their sharp arrows at Liu Bian.

"Your Highness, please cooperate." Li Su said with a smile on his face. After all, Liu Bian's identity was there. He didn't dare to tie up Liu Bian blatantly, so he had to threaten him with knives and arrows.
