"Your Majesty, I have heard two pieces of news."

In a private house, Cao Xing reported: "First, the whole family of Zhang Yang, the party guard, has been placed under house arrest, and now it is Yang Chou who is in charge of the city. ”

"Second, Yuan Shao increased his troops by 20,000 in Shangdang County and handed them over to Yang Chou to command."

"Yang Chou, just a nameless person, dare to kill the king?"

Liu Xie was very disdainful, put down the soup bowl in his hand, it was night now, and they had taken refuge here since the Taishou Mansion escaped.

It's just that Ma Yunlu and others are lost.

Now that the whole city is under martial law, Liu Xie is being searched everywhere, and even a fly can't fly out of the entire Shangdang City.

However, Liu Xie had already passed the book and asked Gao Shun to bring 30,000 Wei soldiers to come to help.

It can be reached in up to three days.

"Is there any news from Ma Yunlu?"

Liu Xie asked again.

"Not for the time being, but Miss Ma Yunlu's martial arts are outstanding, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Cao Xuan said.

Liu Xie bowed slightly, he only needed to recuperate here for three days, and when Gao Shun's Wei Wushu came over, he could break the city.

If the guards in the city are someone else, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult to break the city, but what is Yang Chou's ability?

Yuan Shao's personnel orders were so confused that he was also worthy of being the lord of Hebei?

The three-day time was up quickly.

Gao Shun led Wei Wushu to attack the city, and Yang Chou had to divide his energy to defend against Gao Shun.

And the fighting, a dozen lasted for two days, and in December, the weather became colder and colder.

"It's not a way to fight like this, the Shangdang city is tall and thick, and it is difficult to break through, so you have to do something in the city."

Liu Xie observed the battle situation outside the city, but unfortunately they were still being searched for in the city, and it was really difficult to show up.

"If there were even hundreds of people now, they would be able to storm the main gate."

Cao Xuan also sighed, but it's a pity that there are still two people, him and His Majesty.

"If you want someone, maybe Zhang Yang can do it."

Liu Xie pondered, Zhang Yang has been running the party for several years, although he was seized power by Yang Chou, but there must be his henchmen in the city.

It's just that the biggest problem now is that I don't know where Zhang Yang is imprisoned.

"No matter, we have to go out and find out the news, we can't sit back and wait."

Liu Xie said.

But not long after he walked out of the house, Liu Xie heard a strange thing, a female general led hundreds of people to rush to the main gate.

"Female general, could it be Ma Yunlu?"

"It's just where she came from?"

Cao Xuan said curiously.

"Check it out."

Immediately, Liu Xie and Cao Xing came to the main entrance.

"Sure enough, it's a horse girl."

Cao Xing was very surprised, he was still worried about Ma Yunlu in the past few days, but according to him, he was too worried.

Ma Yunlu not only had nothing to do, but also attacked the main gate with more than 200 people, although the defenders were thousands, Ma Yunlu was not afraid at all, and was bent on opening the city gate and letting the Gaoshun army in.

"Go help!"

Liu Xie said that, he waved the cross lance and rushed forward, with only Ma Yunlu's person, it is really difficult to break the city gate among thousands of people.

However, after joining the battlefield yourself, that may not be the case.

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing Liu Xie and Cao Xingchong coming over, Ma Yunlu was overjoyed.

"Break the gates first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Liu Xie stormed the city gate, because of the terrain, thousands of defenders could not deploy a formation, and with Liu Xie's continuous depth, they had come to the city gate.

"Stop them, and don't let them open the gates."

The general guarding the city gate hurriedly shouted, they have been fighting with Wei Wushu in the past few days, and they are very aware of the other party's combat effectiveness.

If they were allowed to enter the city, the battle would be lost.

"Archer, release the arrow!"

The gatekeeper hurriedly shouted, and hundreds of archers fired in unison, like a torrential rain, sweeping towards Liu Xie and the others.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

As the arrows rang out, the people around Ma Yunlu kept falling, and in the end there were only a few dozen people left, but they blocked the first wave of offensive.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Seeing a feather arrow flying towards Liu Xie, Ma Yunlu rushed forward desperately, and finally blocked the arrow behind Liu Xie.

It's just that Ma Yunlu was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

And at this moment, Liu Xie also opened the city gate.

"Brothers, kill!"

Gao Shun took the lead and killed the city.

Liu Xie picked up Ma Yunlu and said, "That arrow can't hit me at all, why should you block the arrow for me." ”

When opening the door, Liu Xie also paid attention to the movement behind him, he sensed the feather arrow, but he didn't expect Ma Yunlu to protect himself like this.

"I said that I want to protect Your Majesty, then I must not break my word."

Ma Yunlu said with a smile.

"I don't think this arrow hit your vital point, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to say such things."

Liu Xie shook his head helplessly, although Ma Yunlu had a lot of blood in his abdomen, the injury was actually not serious, with her body and bones, she should be fine after ten days and half a month of recuperation.

As for bloodshed, for a girl of her age, which month does not bleed, it is a completely small matter.

But through this incident, Liu Xie made it clear that this girl was trustworthy.

And next, it was a one-sided battle, Gao Shun and Wei Wushu, almost a crushing victory.

More than an hour later, Gao Shun carried Yang Chou's head and displayed it in front of the enemy.

And more than 20,000 people in the city, all laid down their arms and surrendered.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these traitors?"

Gao Shun asked.

"All the soldiers of Shangdang County were released, and Yuan Shao's army was all killed."

Liu Xie said lightly that the defenders of Shangdang County were forced to fight because Yang Chou seized power.

If you let them go, you can still use them for yourself.

But Yuan Shao's army was different, they were real traitors.

"Your Majesty, do you need to publish the documents to crusade against Yuan Shao?"

Gao Shun asked.

"Not yet."

Liu Xie shook his head, there is no use for such a thing as a document other than telling the world that Yuan Shao is a traitor.

Moreover, compared to Yuan Shao, Liu Xie wanted to deal with Yuan Shu first.

Soon, Shangdang City settled down again.

"Your Majesty."

Ma Yunlu came to the council hall of the Taishou Mansion and said, "Zhang Taishou is here. ”

"The criminal minister Zhang Yang has seen Your Majesty."

Zhang Yang's hair was a little disheveled, and when he saw Liu Xie, he knelt down directly to ask for guilt.

"This matter has nothing to do with Zhang Taishou, why should you blame yourself?"

Liu Xie said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I also have to thank Zhang Taishou for sending people to help, otherwise we would not be able to open the city gate smoothly." ”

The more than 200 people who followed Ma Yunlu before were all Zhang Yang's subordinates, but most of them had already died in battle when they attacked the city gate.

Now, Liu Xie can be sure that Zhang Yang is indeed a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

"Chen really didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so wolf-like, and he didn't find out that Yang Chou would rebel."

Zhang Yang still blamed himself, and then, he took out a letter from his arms and said: "Your Majesty, the migration 'letter' written by the minister to the Xiongnu has been written, please take a look." ”
