Chapter 138 The Emperor's Military Review! I swear to kill Yuan Shao to clear the emperor'

How to describe Liu Xie's mood at this time?

When he saw the silent and solemn army of 10,000 people under the scorching sun, and when all the soldiers turned their heads and looked at him, he felt what a mighty army was!

For no reason, Liu Xie's blood on horseback suddenly boiled.

He felt a silent and powerful force from the army in front of him.

Now, these Han men are waiting for their emperor to review them!

"Your Majesty, it's time to go on stage."

Seeing Liu Xie rein in his horse and stand still, Yuan Shao, who was following him, hurriedly reminded him, and he was worried.

Would he be frightened by the three armies as Ju Su said?

Just as Yuan Shao was anxious and thinking about how to save himself, Liu Xie squeezed his horse's belly and continued to move forward.

He rode his horse and passed by the square formations of soldiers.

Wherever he passed, the soldiers bowed their heads.

Expressing their loyalty to the emperor.

Coming to a three-meter-high platform for selecting generals, Liu Xie threw his scarlet cloak and stepped onto the platform step by step under the gaze of all the soldiers.

As he stepped onto the platform, two shirtless strong men struck tiger-skin drums with drumsticks as thick as their forearms.

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

The drums sounded dull and heavy, as if they were striking at people's hearts.

Every three steps Liu Xie took, the drums sounded.

Three steps and one drum, very particular.

After nine drums, Liu Xie stepped onto the platform for selecting generals.

At this time, the whole audience was solemn.

The wind blew up the yellow sand, and the horses whistled and the people stood in awe.

Liu Xie stood on the high platform, with his cloak fluttering behind him.

Under the gaze of countless fiery eyes, Liu Xie looked down at the solemn army under the platform.

He saw the fanaticism in the eyes of those soldiers and the loyalty on their faces.

"All the soldiers!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Xie spoke solemnly: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in chaos and wars have been raging. In the land of Kyushu, traitors are everywhere, the country is in danger, and the lives of the people are hanging by a thread!"

"First, Dong Zhuo disrupted the government, and then Yuan Shu usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor."

"Now! Sun Ce in Jiangdong has established a separatist regime. Cao Cao in Yanzhou has established a fake emperor; Liu Biao in Jingzhou does not obey the imperial edict."

"This is truly a critical moment for the survival of the Han Dynasty!"

"I inherit the throne from the heavens and the earth, and from the people. I have inherited the throne in times of crisis and have worked day and night to revitalize the Han Dynasty!"

"I hope all the soldiers will fight bravely and help me turn the tide and support the collapsing building!"

Liu Xie's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the soldiers under the selection platform were deeply moved.

"Whenever there is a war, the soldiers will fight bravely and sacrifice their lives for the country! Even if the bones are burned into a hill and the blood flows into the river! There is no regret!"

"Soldiers, be brave and courageous;"

"Soldiers, live on the blade;"

"Generals, sleeves are covered with blood;"

"Commanders, the blades are shining!"

"Your blood and sweat achievements——"

Liu Xie clenched his fist and hammered his chest hard, the armor collided and clanged.

He said word by word: "I will remember it in my heart!"

After hearing this, tens of thousands of soldiers couldn't help but shed tears. The blood in their hearts was completely burning!

It turns out that the emperor knows their achievements!

Liu Xie's sharp eyes swept across the whole scene, but the soldiers who were swept by his eyes all subconsciously stood up more upright.

"Everyone, are you willing to help me to suppress the rebellion? Are you willing to follow the general to fight bravely and conquer Yicheng!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were next to the generals' platform, knelt on one knee and shouted: "I am willing to follow your majesty! Trampling the rebellion!"

Hearing this, tens of thousands of soldiers under Yuan Shao also knelt on one knee.

"I am willing to follow your majesty! Trampling the rebellion!"

"I am willing to follow your majesty! Trampling the rebellion!"

Tens of thousands of troops roared together, and the murderous aura and fighting spirit on the scene reached the peak for a while!

There was a sharp aura in Liu Xie's eyes, "The sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers will last forever! The Han Dynasty will last forever! The Han army is mighty!"

"Your majesty is mighty!"

"The Han army is mighty!"

"Your majesty is mighty!"

Liu Xie suddenly drew out the emperor's sword at his waist and shouted sternly: "Go to war--!"

"Clang--!"

What responded to Liu Xie was the clanging sound of drawing swords and the soaring fighting spirit!

"Kill!"

...

Liu Xie held the Emperor's Sword, his face firm, and listened to the almost fanatical shouts in his ears, and the blood in his chest rolled.

"Yes, that's it!"

"You must remember that you are loyal to me, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, not Yuan Shao!"

The reason why he worked so hard to help Yuan Shao boost morale today was not because of the desire to perform, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to establish his image and prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies!

Although there were only 30,000 people in front of him, but one person spread ten, ten spread a hundred, and soon the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command would know that Yuan Shao was a minister of the Emperor.

Although they were Yuan Shao's soldiers, they were even more soldiers of the Emperor!

At this time, the generals were under the stage.

Ju Yi, Chunyu Qiong, Tian Feng and others all looked at Liu Xie on the stage with excitement, and they were also excited by Liu Xie's words.

They wanted to draw their swords to respond!

Only Yuan Shao looked a little dazed, not because he thought Liu Xie's military review was not good, but... it was too good!

Even if he himself took the stage to review the troops, I am afraid that this effect would not be achieved!

Firstly, the blessing of the emperor's status is too great.

Secondly, Liu Xie's speech was indeed inspiring.

Even he felt excited when he heard it, let alone the ordinary soldiers?

However...

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Xie's tall figure on the stage, the soldiers who were extremely excited and their morale was raised to the extreme, and the civil and military officials around him who were also excited, frowned and fell into deep thought.

He always felt that something was wrong.

But what was wrong?

Only Ju Su had a dark face throughout the whole process, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

...

Yicheng, Marquis Mansion.

"Report--!"

A scout rushed into the hall and reported to Gongsun Zan anxiously: "General! Yuan Shao's army has come out in full force and is about to attack the city!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard it.

Gongsun Zan stood up with a stern look in his eyes and asked, "Come out in full force? All 30,000 troops are out? Are you sure?!"

The scout nodded heavily and said, "General, they are indeed out in full force!"

Gongsun Zan finally couldn't help but change his face.

During this period of time, Yuan Shao and he had been testing each other, with only small-scale attacks, and the number of people dispatched each time did not exceed 10,000, but this time all the troops were dispatched to attack him!

Could it be that he wanted to fight to the death?

After changing his expression several times, Gongsun Zan immediately ordered, "Pass the order down, prepare the whole army! Send someone to notify Tian Kai and order him to lead the army to help!"

"Yes!" The scout took the order and retreated.

Gongsun Zan immediately took Gongsun Fan, Tian Yu, Yan Gang, Zhao Yun and other generals under his command to climb the city wall to investigate the situation.

Standing on the city wall, Gongsun Zan looked at it, and his heart sank immediately.

I saw a dark mass outside the city, and all I could see were Yuan's troops!

An indescribable sense of oppression suddenly came over him.

Even though he had been through many battles, this scene made him feel a little uneasy.

The 30,000 troops came out in full force, which meant that Yuan Shao would not care about casualties and would conquer Yicheng at all costs!

In front of the three armies, Yuan Shao rode out, looked at the city wall, and shouted loudly: "Gongsun Zan! Today, His Majesty is leading the army in person, and your defeat is coming!"

Gongsun Zan was shocked when he heard this.

The emperor is leading the army in person?

Yuan Shao, this man, actually brought the emperor to the battlefield!

After Yuan Shao finished shouting, a young man in white horse and black armor rode over, and Yuan Shao immediately retreated respectfully to the side.

"I am Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Today I am leading the army to recapture Youzhou! If you are still the people of the Han Dynasty and still think of yourself as a minister of the Han Dynasty, then leave the city and surrender!"

"Surrender!"

"Surrender!"

"Surrender!"

Yuan Shao's army clashed their weapons vigorously and shouted angrily.

Liu Xie's face remained unchanged, but he felt a little bitter in his heart.

He thought he only needed to show up to inspire the morale of the soldiers of the three armies.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao asked him to come to the front and shout to the soldiers of Yicheng!

"Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan, you must not surrender, you must be tough. I don't expect you to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, you just need to contain Yuan Shao."

Liu Xie prayed silently in his heart.

Yuan Shao's move was vicious. He had just reviewed the three armies, and all the soldiers were screaming like chicken blood, and the emperor's buff benefited the whole army.

On the other hand, the soldiers in Yicheng were deeply shocked to see that they had become the targets of the emperor's crusade.

If they resisted, wouldn't they become traitors? The debuff was full.

Before the emperor was killed in the street, he was a god in the hearts of ordinary people!

Even if they had ten thousand courages, they would not dare to fight against the emperor.

"The emperor is leading the army in person! Are we, are we traitors?"

"Let's open the city gate and surrender..."

"Once we resist, we will become traitors, and we will be killed!"

"We can't resist, we can't resist!"

At this time, on the walls of Yicheng, the soldiers learned that the emperor was leading the army in person, and they all panicked.

The fighting spirit and morale of the people instantly fell to the bottom.

Some people even put down their weapons!

As soldiers and people of the Han Dynasty, who dares to fight against the emperor?

The prestige of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They joined the army to earn military merits, get promoted and make money, and to have a meal, not to rebel!

"Yuan Shao, the old villain!!!"

Gongsun Zan was so angry that he wanted to shoot Yuan Shao to death with one arrow when he noticed that his soldiers had lost their morale!

Yuan Shao's move was too vicious!

It completely destroyed the fighting spirit of his soldiers!

There was no need to fight if it continued like this!

If he ordered a counterattack, his soldiers would most likely mutiny and point their swords at him.

Generals such as Gongsun Fan and Yan Gang all turned pale, knowing the bad situation at the moment.

The atmosphere at the scene was depressing.

Just when everyone was silent, Tian Yu stepped forward and said, "General, do you remember the letter of guilt I wrote to Yuan Shao last time?"

"Letter of guilt to Yuan Shao?"

Gongsun Zan certainly remembered it. He wrote a letter of guilt to Yuan Shao and submitted it to the court when he attacked Yuan Shao a few years ago.

This time, Yuan Shao came to attack, and in order to occupy the name, he specially asked Tian Yu to rewrite a letter of guilt to Yuan Shao.

But what's the point now?

The emperor has come in person!

Tian Yu said anxiously: "The only way now is for the general to acknowledge the emperor's identity and then say that Yuan Shao is disrespectful to the emperor and is a traitor like Dong Zhuo, who even dared to hold the emperor hostage on the battlefield."

"Then the general will tell Yuan Shao's crimes in the crime book one by one, and in the name of Qingjun, defeat Yuan Shao and rescue the emperor. Only then can the morale of the army be stabilized!"

It turned out that Gongsun Zan did not recognize the emperor in front of him because he knew that he was Yuan Shao's puppet.

But now I have to admit it.

Because the soldiers under his command admitted it, and if he refused, it would confirm his identity as a rebel.

So we can only use this to find another way and use the slogan of Qingjun!

"good!"

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly climbed onto the city gate tower and knelt down on one knee towards Liu Xie:

"I, Sun Zan, the Mu Gong of Youzhou, come to see Your Majesty!"

Outside the city, Yuan Shao smiled immediately when he saw this scene.

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

I heard Gongsun Zan yelling at him after paying homage to the emperor: "Yuan Shao! You traitor, you dare to take His Majesty to the battlefield! The battlefield is so dangerous, but you ignore His Majesty's safety. What are you thinking about!"

"You, Thief Yuan, are so disrespectful to the Emperor, how are you any different from Thief Dong?"

Beautifully said!

When Liu Xie heard this, his eyes lit up.

Gongsun Zan found this reason well!

Yuan Shao, who originally held great righteousness, was directly beaten by him as a traitor who threatened the emperor to make the princes rebel!

Yuan Shao's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Your Majesty heard that you were stubbornly resisting and refused to submit, so he took charge of the expedition himself. When will I, the general, take your Majesty hostage?"

"Gongsun Zan! Stop talking nonsense here! Surrender immediately!"

"Otherwise, when Your Majesty conquers Yicheng, everyone will be punished!"

As he spoke, he gave Liu Xie a wink.

Liu Xie sighed inwardly and could only cooperate.

"General Gongsun, I am indeed not held hostage by the general. You'd better leave the city and surrender as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty!" Gongsun Zan's face was full of sorrow and anger, and he said sincerely: "I know that Your Majesty is controlled by Yuan Shao, and I can't help myself when I say these words. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I swear to kill Yuan's thieves and rescue Your Majesty!"

Gongsun Zan said, looked at the soldiers under his command, then looked at the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command, and shouted loudly:

"I have Yuan Shao's seven crimes to report to your majesty. Please listen to them all!"

"The first crime was that Yuan Shao recruited Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, which was the source of Dong's thief's disaster."

"The second crime is that when Dong Zhuo controlled the government and held the emperor hostage, Yuan Shao did not resist Dong Zhuo, abandoned his biography, fled, and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a minister."

"The third crime is that when Yuan Shao was the governor of Bohai, he prepared troops to resist Dong Zhuo, but did not tell his tribe in advance. As a result, more than fifty tribesmen died. This was unfilial!"

"The fourth crime is that Yuan Shaoxing did not care about the national calamity, cultivated power everywhere, exploited wealthy families, and plundered the people. Everyone in the world complained about him!"

"The fifth crime is that Yuan Shao and Han Fu conspired to establish a separate court. In order to issue a life-correcting edict, they secretly engraved a gold and jade seal with the words "Edict, Seal of the Marquis of Zhongxiang" engraved on it, which is the same as that of Wang Mang in the past. It’s exactly the same when you’re in trouble!”

"The sixth crime was that Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha County, also served as the governor of Yuzhou, drove away Dong Zhuo, swept away the mausoleum and temples, and achieved great success. However, Yuan Shao ordered Zhou Ang to steal his position and ruined the plan to conquer Dong Zhuo."

"The seventh crime is that Yuan Shao held the emperor hostage and allowed the emperor to personally participate in dangerous battlefields. He is really a traitor to the emperor!"

"Yuan Shao is a hypocritical villain, disloyal to the emperor, and disloyal to the Han Dynasty. He has committed a heinous crime! Because his loyalty to the Han Dynasty has become an obstacle for Yuan Shao to realize his ambitions, he sent troops to attack. After being unable to attack for a long time, he became so heartbroken that he took the emperor here. !”

As Gongsun Zan spoke, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, reached out and grasped the sharp blade of the sword, and broke it violently regardless of the fact that his hand was bleeding from the cut!

"I swear to kill Yuan Shao and clear the emperor's side!"

"If you violate this oath, I will bear this sword!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole place was in an uproar.

Both Yuan Shao's army and Gongsun Zan's army were all confused.

Who is the loyal minister? Who is the traitor?

There was a power outage today. I didn't call until 4pm. Sorry, there will be another update tonight.
