Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 135 The Emperor's Envoy
Han Dang led the remaining defenders to withdraw from Jiangxia City towards the east gate.

Neither Wei Yan nor Huang Zhong, who had entered the city, pursued them. They just led their troops to chase to the east gate and captured it, ignoring Han Dang who had already escaped from the city.

Let Han Dang lead the defeated generals to escape from Jiangxia City.

After the city gates were opened, Liu Qi also led the army into the city. After confirming that Han Dang had led the remnant soldiers out of Jiangxia City, he ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and take over the defense of the four city gates.

But he didn't open the city gate. After all, he doesn't know the current situation in the city, and he needs to deal with it again. Who knows if Han Dang will stay behind. troublesome thing.

But said.

Han Dang led the remaining defenders with less than a thousand people to escape from Jiangxia City through the east gate, but found that the Jingzhou army only pursued to the east gate and did not continue to pursue.

Then he stopped a mile away from the east gate, looking at Jiangxia City, thinking that before he was the city guard and the person with great power, Liu Qi was outside the city. escape.

"General Han!" said the general who persuaded Han Dang to leave.

Han Dang also looked back at Jiangxia City. With the current force, it is impossible to recapture Jiangxia City. If they didn't pursue them, it would be regarded as leaving a way for them to survive. If they pursued them, whether they could escape or not The problem, and as long as they make an ambush outside the east gate, none of them may be able to leave Jiangxia.

Turning the horse's head, he sighed: "Go, go back to Jiangdong, and report this matter to the lord, and the lord will decide!"

"No!" The generals who escaped with Han Dang cupped their hands.

drive~~
Han Dang turned his head and took a deep look at Jiangxia City, then galloped on his horse and headed towards Jiangdong.

Those partial generals, as well as the defenders who had escaped, did not stop, followed behind Han Dang, and rushed towards Jiangdong, all the way to the dust, and slowly disappeared from the sight of Jiangxia City.

In Jiangxia city, because of the war, the common people dare not go out.

The original Han Dang's mansion was temporarily requisitioned by Liu Qi. After all, Jiangxia City is now under his rule, so it is only natural to requisition Han Dang's mansion.

Just captured Jiangxia City, there are many things to do, appease the people, clean up the battlefield, take over the defense, clean up the remnants, and so on.

After everything settled down, the sky also reached dusk.

Liu Qi sat on the main seat in the hall of the mansion and asked, "Han Sheng, what are the casualties of our army?"

"Returning to my lord, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us is close to one to one. Han Dang only gathered less than a thousand people and escaped from Jiangxia City without any prisoners. He killed more than [-] enemies, and our army suffered more than [-] casualties!" Huang Zhong clasped his hands.

Liu Qi sighed in his heart. Although it was a suppression of troops, a strong attack always consumes too much. From the casualties, it can be seen that if there is a frontal battle with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Dian Wei, this will never happen. casualty ratio.

However, this can be considered the best. If it is really a deadly battle, not to mention one-on-one, two-on-one, three-on-one are all possible things.

When I was about to speak.

A blood-clothed guard came in from the outside, cupped his hands and said: "Master, there is a team called the envoys of the Son of Heaven outside the city, and it is said that they are here to announce the decree!"

Hearing this, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Kuai Yue all looked at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, he did not expect that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would issue him an imperial edict, and obviously this team had already been to Jingzhou City and knew that he was attacking Jiangxia, but they did not stay in Jingzhou City to wait, but rushed over directly, so this The Taoist decree is a bit intriguing.

But the decree should have Wang Yun's relationship in it, touched his chin, and said: "After all, you are an envoy of the emperor, and you still have to have etiquette. You can go out with me to meet me, and find out why you are here. !"

"promise!"

Huang Zhong and the others agreed, they also cared about the imperial decree.

Liu Qi nodded, stood up, and walked out of the hall, preparing to leave the city.

The four of Dian Wei also stood up, followed behind Liu Qi, and walked out.

Soon, Liu Qi and others came to the gate of the city.

"Open the city gate!" Liu Qi ordered to the soldiers guarding the passage of the city gate.

After all, Jiangxia City had just been captured, and the people's hearts were a little unstable. Liu Qi didn't open the city gates all day to let the people in and out, and was going to open the city gates the next day.

"promise!"

The soldiers guarding the passage of the city gate walked to the back of the city gate, put down the crossbar, divided it into two sides, and pushed the two heavy city gates.

squeak~~
The two thick city gates were slowly pushed open by the soldiers.

As the city gate was pushed open, the situation outside the city gate was also reflected in the eyes of Liu Qi and others. They could see an eunuch in the front, holding an imperial decree in his hand, and a carriage behind him, with royal flags, about a hundred people around.

Liu Qi took Dian Wei and others out of the city gate and walked towards the team of envoys of the emperor.

"You are Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liuzhou Mu?" The eunuch looked arrogant, and his drake-like voice sounded.

Hearing this, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan looked at the eunuch with angry faces, and unconsciously pressed their hands on the saber, and if they disagreed with each other, they would swing the saber to kill him.

Kuai Yue also frowned.

Liu Qi's eyes were fixed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Exactly, just speak up if you have something to say!"

"Liu Qi accepts the order!" the eunuch said coldly.

a while.
"Why don't you kneel down, are you despising His Majesty!" the eunuch shouted.

When he called out to receive the order, Liu Qi and the others didn't move at all, they just looked at him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Hmph!" Liu Qi snorted heavily, grabbed the edict from the eunuch, and said coldly, "You can go back!"

"you you!"

What Liu Qi did made the eunuch unable to react at all. He pointed at Liu Qi with trembling fingers, and wanted to say something, but was frightened by the eyes of Dian Wei and others. If he continued to talk, he might not be able to leave this place.

Angrily said: "Okay, okay, I will definitely report the truth to His Majesty!"

Liu Qi ignored him, as if he didn't hear him.

"Hmph, let's go!" The eunuch flicked his sleeves, climbed into the carriage, and told the team to turn around and leave.

You must know that he didn't just issue the imperial decree to Liu Qi, he went to Jizhou along the way, and issued it to Yuan Shao, even Yuan Shao didn't treat him like this, and even got some benefits, but he was treated like this by Liu Qi, secretly in his heart Deciding to return to Chang'an, he will slander Liu Qi to death, otherwise it will be difficult to vent his hatred.

"Imperial decree?" Liu Qi sneered, for such a thing, it is really reckless to want him to kneel down to the eunuch, looking at the leaving team of envoys, he said: "Jiangxia's territory should be full of bandits. long!"

"Subordinates understand!" Wei Yan cupped his hands.

Neither Dian Wei nor Huang Zhong had any objections.

Kuai Yue also knew what Liu Qi wanted to do, but he didn't try to persuade him, and he was upset, knowing that Liu Qi is his lord now, and he still understands the reason why the master humiliates his ministers.
