The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 121 Invite His Majesty to Conquer Himself

When Liu Xie came to Yecheng, Yuan Xu didn't build a palace for him, but chose to settle in a house comparable in size to the Yuan family.

Although there is no grandeur and grandeur in the palace, Liu Xie's life is very carefree.

When he was in Xudu, the place where he was active every day was only near the bedroom.

A hundred steps away from the palace, someone will report to Cao Cao.

Although the Xudu Imperial Palace is not small, he is like a bird imprisoned there.

The residence in Yecheng is not that spacious, but he can move around freely in it.

Yuan Xu would not ask any corners.

Wei Yan came with Yuan Xu, and Liu Xiezheng and Empress Fu were admiring flowers in the back garden.

Chang Shi reported that Yuan Xu had come.

Empress Fu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine will take my leave first."

"Go." Liu Xie nodded regally.

Chang Shi led Yuan Xu and Wei Yan here.

Yuan Xu greeted the ceremony: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Liu Xie stepped forward to hold his hand, with a smile on his face: "Ai Qing sees me, is there something wrong?"

"I got the news that the Xiongnu is sending troops to the Central Plains." Yuan Xu replied, "I plan to go out and meet the bandits myself!"

When mentioning the Xiongnu, Liu Xie's face suddenly turned bad: "The Xiongnu are hateful. Back then, Li Jue and Guo Si made troubles in Chang'an. They took the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and plundered countless people and property. Now that Aiqing is in charge of Hebei, he is here to make trouble again. You must give them a good look." .”

"Besides telling this matter, I have another purpose." Yuan Xu said: "Your Majesty, please personally conscript!"

Liu Xie was taken aback: "Aiqing wants me to conscript myself?"

"Your Majesty's personal conquest will definitely bring no disadvantages." Yuan Xu replied, "Conquering the Xiongnu is for the country and the people, and it will be admired by all people. From now on, the imperial power will be stable. Who would dare to disobey it?"

"Aiqing wants to stand up for me?" Liu Xie couldn't believe it.

When Xu Du was defeated, Yuan Xu had expressed his attitude that he would not let him order a single soldier.

After experiencing the days of being coerced by Cao Cao, Liu Xie no longer dared to challenge the hero who determined his life and death.

Yuan Xu is the person he absolutely dare not offend!

"Your Majesty must establish his prestige in order to be able to hold down heroes from all walks of life." Yuan Xu gave an affirmative reply.

"When are we leaving?" Liu Xie asked.

"Tomorrow morning." Yuan Xu replied, "I will be waiting outside the main gate."

Leaving the palace, Wei Yan asked Yuan Xu: "Why did you take His Majesty to the battle? You have to protect him on the battlefield."

"The imperial power will be stabilized only by the emperor's personal conquest." Yuan Xu replied: "The imperial family of the Han Dynasty is in my hands. I certainly hope that it will continue to prosper."

Wei Yan is not a reckless man who only knows how to charge and kill on the battlefield.

He probably understood what Yuan Xu meant.

With the Han Dynasty in hand, the imperial power is too weak, and the control over Haoxiong will be weak.

The stronger the imperial power, the more benefits Yuan Xu will get.

The Xiongnu invaded the frontier, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty personally conquered it. It was indeed an excellent opportunity to enhance the imperial power.

Liu Bao led [-] Xiongnu warriors and went straight to Yanmen Pass.

He was blocked at the gate.

There were not many Yuan troops guarding the pass, and the pass was strong. It was not so easy for Liu Bao to break through.

The Huns attacked for several days, and lost nearly half of the guards, but Liu Bao's offensive became more fierce day by day.

Once again, the Huns were repelled, and the general guard looked worriedly outside the pass.

Outside Yanmen Pass is the camp of the Huns.

Looking at the past, there are a lot of Hun warriors in the dark, and I don't know how many there are...

The general's name is Shen Rong, and he is Shen Pei's nephew.

Guo Jia conquered high-ranking officials, and he also went out with the army.

After the war ended, Guo Jia and others returned to Yecheng, while he was left in charge of the defense of the pass.

When the Huns came, Shen Rong took the lead and repelled the powerful enemy several times.

More and more soldiers around him fell down, and his confidence in holding on to the pass became less and less.

Looking outside the pass, he was worrying about the next time the Huns would seize the pass, when a soldier came behind him: "General, the son is here."

Hearing Yuan Xu's arrival, Shen Rong's eyes lit up: "Where is the young master?"

"Just under the gate." The soldier replied.

Shenrong hurriedly ran towards the stairs.

Just about to run down the pass, Yuan Xu accompanied Liu Xie up.

"I've met you, Young Master!" Shen Rong bowed in salute.

Yuan Xu said to him: "Why are you so rude when you see Your Majesty?"

Only then did Shen Rong notice Liu Xie, and saluted him: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

Liu Xie nodded and went to the pass.

He asked Shen Rong: "Did the Huns seize the pass?"

"We have already attacked several times." Shen Rong replied: "They were all repulsed by the soldiers. The defenders suffered too many casualties. If they come again a few times, I am afraid they will not be able to defend."

"Xian Xin is here, why worry about the Huns?" Liu Xie didn't even look at him, and turned to Yuan Xu, "Is there a way to defeat the enemy?"

During the Battle of Cangting, he had witnessed Yuan Xu driving dead bodies with his own eyes.

Yuan Xu only brought a few hundred guards with him when he left Yecheng, and Liu Xie didn't find it strange.

How can there be any need to lead an army to fight with the murderous corpses that are everywhere in the mountains and plains?

"Defeating the Huns, isn't it easy?" Yuan Xu replied.

He looked outside the pass and asked Shenrong again: "Where did the Huns get the corpse?"

"They failed to break the pass many times, so they moved the corpse back." Shen Rong replied: "In the past few days, we can see raging flames outside the pass every night. The Huns must have burned the corpse."

The customs of the Xiongnu and the Central Plains are different.

They have been in contact with the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Although they also have the custom of burial, whenever there is a war, they often simply burn the corpses without burying them.

Knowing that the Huns burned the corpse, Liu Xie was a little worried: "Aiqing, this..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, but there must be dead bodies in every war." Yuan Xu replied: "The Huns burned the dead bodies, but our army's fallen soldiers are still there."

He asked Shen Rong: "How do the soldiers who died in battle settle down?"

Shen Rong replied: "The battle is urgent, most of them are still parked in the pass."

Yuan Xu nodded: "Then let them make one last contribution to the big man."

Liu Bao sent troops to capture the pass several times, but he still failed to break through the pass.

He knew very well that the longer the delay, the worse it would be for the Huns.

After failing to win the pass, he ordered to rest and prepare for the next attack.

Yuan Xu and the others did not wait too long at the pass.

The horn of Yoyo came from outside the pass.

"The Huns are coming again." Shen Rong reminded.

Yuan Xu ordered the guards: "Present the case and play the piano."

The table was set up, the ghost piano was placed on it, and Yuan Xu sat upright, playing the tune he was most familiar with.

The melody is quiet and quiet, as if it came from the ground, which makes people feel horrified.

He had never followed him before, Wei Yan looked puzzled, and asked the guard behind him: "What are you doing, sir?"

"Drive the corpse." The guard replied.

Wei Yan was even more at a loss. He only heard that Yuan Xu had the ability to drive murderous corpses, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

It seems that it is not a rumor...

The sound of the piano fluttered and echoed at the pass.

Not long after, Yuan Jun, who died in battle, boarded the pass and stood in a row facing the outside of the pass.

The Huns rushed up like a tide.

Shen Rong shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, the bows and arrows are strung, and the shields are formed. Protect the young master and His Majesty, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
