The last three kingdoms

Chapter 961 Falling into a Trap
However, Hu Lie was still a little unwilling to surrender to the imperial court so simply. Hu Lie hated Zhong Hui to the bone. , but he couldn't erase his coercive hatred for Hu Lie back then. He put a knife on Hu Lie's neck and forced him to kill Sima Liang, driving Hu Lie to a dead end.

This humiliation, Hu Lie silently swallowed in his stomach, and he killed Sima Liang, which made Hu Lie completely draw a line with the Jin Dynasty court. Don't submit to Zhong Hui, whether you are willing or not, anyway, Hu Lie and Zhong Hui are already grasshoppers on the same rope.

Unexpectedly, the arrival of Fan Shi brought the court's amnesty edict, which made Hu Lie realize what it means to be bright and bright, and what it means to turn around. Hu Lie, who thought he had no hope of returning to Luoyang in this life, rekindled the fire of hope.

It is easy to return to the imperial court. The army of the Jin State is just outside the city. Hu Lie only needs to raise the flag and open the city gate, and everything will come naturally.But doing so seems to be a bit cheap for Zhong Hui. If the humiliation Hu Lie has suffered for so many years cannot be doubled, Hu Lie will still be unwilling.

"That's very simple." Fan Shi stroked his beard and said with a chuckle. He quickly came up with a plan for Hu Lie. Hu Lie was overjoyed when he heard it, and bowed to thank him.

In the next two days, the Jin army suddenly launched an offensive in Xinye City, and the two sides fought fiercely. Hu Lie couldn't resist the Jin army's offensive, and hurriedly sent someone to rescue Zhonghui.

"Trash! I can't hold it anymore after just two days of fighting. It's useless for me to use you so much. It's so unbearable!" Zhong Hui's face was livid, and he cursed.

However, Xinye City is related to the safety of the entire Jingzhou. If Xinye is lost, Xiangyang will be hard to protect. Zhong Hui will not take it lightly, and immediately marches from Chaoyang to Xinye.

The Jin army took it seriously, and as soon as they saw the rebel reinforcements coming, they immediately stopped attacking Xinye and retreated voluntarily.

Zhong Hui was not in a hurry to enter the city, and continued to advance northward, forcing the Jin army to continue to retreat.

There is nothing wrong with Zhong Hui's tactics. If Zhong Hui's army enters the city at this moment, the Jin army will probably besiege the city again. With the support of the army, Zhong Hui has no worries.

Zhong Hui had just pushed his army to ten miles north of Xinye City, and before he had time to set up camp, the Jin army's troops counterattacked.

Zhong Hui calmly commanded the army to fight the battle calmly. Anyway, with the strong backing of Xinye City, Zhong Hui was not afraid of the Jin army's attack at all.

At this time, Hu Lie also led his army to kill from Xinye City. Although everyone, including Zhong Hui, noticed Hu Lie's movements, everyone believed that Hu Lie was here to help the war at this time, and did not follow behind. Do any defense on the line of defense.

Hu Lie easily entered the rear of Zhong Hui's army, and the armies of both sides even got mixed together. At this time, Hu Lie raised his eyebrows and shouted violently: "Kill—"

Hu Lie's army suddenly launched an attack, hacking and killing wantonly among Zhong Hui's rear troops. Zhong Hui's army was completely unprepared, and Hu Lie led the army to cover up and kill them. The casualties were heavy and the formation was in chaos.

The sudden change of elbow and armpit stunned Zhong Hui's men and horses. No one could figure out what was going on. The entire formation was thrown into chaos by Hu Lie's army in an instant.

"Report to King Wei Xing that Hu Lie turned his back on him and started killing in the rear of our army." A sergeant reported to Zhong Hui immediately.

Zhong Hui was concentrating on the Jin army ahead, and the Jin army's counterattack was extremely fierce. Zhong Hui's army had to concentrate all its troops to deal with it, but at this time the news came from the rear , Zhong Hui's head exploded with a "buzz".

Trap!This is completely a long-planned trap!

Hu Lie has never been regarded as Zhong Hui's confidant, but Zhong Hui has always suffered from the lack of general talent under his command, so he had to reuse Hu Lie. Back then, Zhong Hui coerced Hu Lie to kill Sima Liang, which was regarded as dragging Hu Liesheng to the ground. It was precisely because of such a huge handle that Zhong Hui dared to hand over an army to Hu Lie's command with confidence.

But Zhong Hui never thought that Hu Lie would still betray him. Could it be that Hu Lie has already taken refuge in the court?How could this be possible, the one he killed was Sima Yan's uncle, how could Sima Yan be pardoned so easily?And if Sima Yan didn't pardon him, Hu Lie would be committing suicide by doing so.

But no matter how hard Zhong Hui was to figure it out, the facts were already in front of him. Hu Lie had completely betrayed him, and judging from the current situation, it was a premeditated trap.

Zhong Hui tried his best, but in the end he fell into someone else's trap. Zhong Hui couldn't help being so angry that he wished to tear Hu Lie into pieces. Unfortunately, in this chaos, Zhong Hui took Hu Lie to death. There was nothing to do, and not only was there nothing to do, but what was even more terrible was that Hu Lie's army had the intention of attacking jointly with the Jin army. Zhong Hui's army was attacked from both sides, and the whole battle situation was irreversible.

Xia Houxian and Ju Anhu were by Zhong Hui's side, seeing the critical situation, they said to Zhong Hui, "The matter is urgent, your majesty, retreat quickly, don't love to fight!"

Zhong Hui felt rather unwilling, but the general situation was gone, and it was impossible to restore it with his own ability. Zhong Hui sighed secretly and had to order each battalion to break through.

The rebel army was defeated like a mountain, and each battalion fled for their lives. The situation was out of control.

At this time, Hu Yuan rushed to the front, with a long spear, like a dragon coming out of the water, sweeping all the way, watching the rebels fleeing in defeat, Hu Yuan shouted loudly on the horse: "Brothers, you all have parents and relatives!" People, don't sacrifice your life for rebelling against Zhong Hui! His Majesty the Great Jin Emperor has ordered that, except for Zhong Hui alone, the rest of the soldiers will be pardoned! Brothers, you can go home!"

Hu Yuan's words made these rebel soldiers feel dazed for a while, what?The emperor of Jin is going to pardon them. Is there really such a good thing?Some people are skeptical, while others are convinced. Even Hu Lie, who killed Sima Liang, has returned to the state of Jin. What are these small soldiers afraid of?

A soldier was the first to throw away his weapon, raised his hand to surrender, and said, "I am willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender!"

As long as there is one leader, the situation will be irreversible. Immediately, a large group of soldiers fell to their knees and said "willing to surrender". Many soldiers burst into tears on the spot, crying bitterly. Maybe they waited for this moment. It's been too long.
