Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 836

"Father, it seems that His Majesty still believes in you, and actually entrusted us with such an important task of attacking the capital!"

On the way to Kyoto, Yue Peng couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and said with a smile.

Yue Xi had a calm face, and sighed: "Son, you are still not deeply involved in the world. On the surface, it seems that His Majesty trusts us, but in fact, this is not a kind of temptation!"

"Father, how do you say this?"

Yue Peng was puzzled.

"Just yesterday, Liu Bei withdrew his troops from attacking Guanzhong, and returned to attack Jiangdong. Guanzhong is no longer threatened at this time. His Majesty only gave us [-] troops to attack Kyoto. This number of troops Ma, don't say too much, say too much, even if I return to Liu An and Liu An adds another [-] troops, it will not pose a threat to His Majesty, His Majesty just wants to see what I think!"

Yue Xi reined in the reins and stood where he was.

Yue Peng didn't understand even more, and asked: "Father, judging from the current situation, it's obvious that His Majesty taking care of Liu An is as simple as picking something out of a pocket. We have no reason to go to Liu An!"

"This is where His Majesty is brilliant. After Pang Linjie was injured, the morale of the army plummeted. Many soldiers were even a little shaken. They were afraid that His Majesty would not be able to put down the rebellion. Especially the soldiers and horses we brought out from the capital had not returned for several months. Home, Your Majesty is procrastinating here again, he has not taken the capital for a long time, he wants to take this opportunity to see what I think, if I can't take the capital within ten days, hehe, Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious of me heart of!"

Yuexi shook his head and smiled wryly, Liu Wei still couldn't trust himself, he really followed the old saying, loyal ministers are not two masters, he betrayed Liu Wei in the past, Liu Wei seemed to bypass him on the surface, but it was just for It's just to win over the army.

In fact, Yue Xi guessed right, Liu Wei has an obsession in his heart. If Yue Xi betrayed him once, he might betray him twice. On Yue Xi's body, it's not that Liu Wei didn't have the idea of ​​killing Yue Xi to prevent future troubles, but now it's time to employ people, and Yue Xi can't kill him. Conquering the world, there is hard work without credit, and if Yue Xi is killed, the rest of the generals will be in danger.So Liu Wei asked Yue Xi to attack the capital. Taking the capital in ten days seemed easy, but it would not be easy if it were to be done. After crossing the border, they will attack Yuexi. Although Yuexi is an old minister, but he betrayed Liu Wei first, and then missed the opportunity to attack the capital, which is enough to cut off Yuexi's head.

Yuexi is under a lot of pressure now, and three days have passed since the ten-day agreement. They can only reach the capital tonight, and they will attack the city tomorrow morning at the earliest. Taking down a city with a copper wall and an iron wall in seven days is not to say that it is as difficult as climbing the sky, and it is absolutely impossible. It won't be easy.

"Father, what do you mean to say, we can't take the capital anymore?"

Yue Peng asked again.

Yuexi smiled slightly: "It's not certain, it is possible to break through the capital tomorrow, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, no one can predict it!"

After finishing speaking, Yuexi rode his horse forward and led the army to move on.

After arriving outside the city of Kyoto, they set up camp, rested overnight, and prepared to attack the city tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Yuexi led his troops out of the camp. After setting up his formation, he did not directly attack the city. Yuexi first came to the edge of the moat, looked at the guarding soldiers and horses on the top of the city, and shouted: "Brothers on the city Hey guys, I'm Yue Xi, I have something to say, listen up!"

After reporting his identity, the guard at the south gate of the capital scolded loudly: "Yue Yuxiao, you traitorous thief, His Majesty treats you well, yet you abandon him, what face do you have to bark here!"

The guards at the city gate were all former generals of the Eastern Palace Guard, and they were loyal to Liu An. When they saw Yue Xi, the traitor who had betrayed Liu An, the guards did not stop and yelled at Yue Xi.

"I have followed His Majesty in battle for dozens of years, and I have always been His Majesty's general. How can Liu An's son, He De, be my master? Don't speak wildly. If you are sensible, open the city gate quickly, otherwise the city will be destroyed. Today, you Liu An’s lackeys will die, and your family members will also be implicated!”

Yue Xi was scolded, couldn't hold back his face, and threatened the defenders of the city with words.

Seeing Yuexi's arrogance, the guards in the city gritted their teeth angrily, waved their hands, and shouted: "Bring it up!"

Two soldiers pushed a man to the side of the female wall, the city gate guard smiled ferociously and said, "Yue Yuxiao, look who he is!"

Yue Xi squinted his eyes to take a closer look, then widened his eyes again, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Hey, what are you doing? Yue Yuxiao, you made a plan to take away all the wives, concubines and children from your house secretly, but you forgot about your nephew's family. Take care!"

The general guarding the city asked two soldiers to push the head of Yue Xi's nephew out of the crenel, pulled out the saber at his waist, and slashed at the neck of Yue Xi's nephew, and his head fell directly to the bottom of the city.

"Dog thief, I will kill you, if I don't kill you, I swear I won't be human!"

Yue Xi's eyes were red and he roared hysterically.

"Hey, kill me?"

The general guarding the city smiled coldly, and two more soldiers pushed a man over, who was Yue Xi's little nephew.

"Shuzi, you dare!"

Yue Xi was about to burst into tears, watching helplessly as he raised the sword in his hand, and the head of his little nephew was also chopped off.

"Hahahaha, why don't I dare, Yue Yuxiao, I want to kill myself today! Bring them all to me!"

The remaining fifteen members of Yue Xi's nephew's family were all brought to the gate of the city and lined up one by one. The general guarding the city killed each head with one sword strike. Fifteen heads rolled to the ground in just one sentence.

"These are interest rates. If you dare to attack the city, I will cut off the heads of both of you, father and son, and hang them on the plaque at the city gate!"

After finishing speaking, the general guarding the city hooked Yue Xi provocatively.

"Father, what are you waiting for, give the order, attack the city, I will kill him with my own hands, or I will kill his whole family in front of him!"

With blood dripping from Yue Peng's eyes, he asked Yue Xi to fight.

"retreat!"

In addition to being angry, Yue Xi controlled his emotions, waved his hand, and ordered the troops to retreat.

Yue Peng was not reconciled: "Father!"

"I said retreat, are you deaf?"

Yuexi growled at Yuepeng.

"Ugh!"

With tears in his eyes, Yue Peng shouted unwillingly: "Retreat!"

"The general has an order to withdraw troops!"

Dozens of battalions of soldiers and horses retreated one by one, and disappeared above the horizon while playing around.

"Hahahaha, Yue Xi is cowardly, he is cowardly!"

Seeing Yue Xi retreating, the general guarding the south gate of the capital laughed loudly.
