Liu Yao stared closely at the woman on the city wall, she was wearing a moon-white dress, she stood on the city wall like that, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but Liu Yao knew that she must have looked arrogant and full of contempt for Sima Yue.

Liu Yao clenched his fists, he made a desperate bet, fought the last trace of strength to attack the East Gate, with the determination to win and die, and finally let the battle situation that had been suppressed for nearly a month have a slight turnaround, never expected that Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, would use such a trick to use a woman to force him to retreat.

The generals under Liu Yao didn't know Yang Xianrong, because the attack had not stopped, Sima Yue looked at Liu Yao with a very ugly face with a smile, and shouted: "General Liu, don't you still order the retreat?" He suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed half of the sheep to the outside of the tower, and said, "Won't your sweetheart let you retire?" ”

Liu Yao's heart is extremely contradictory, behind him are tens of thousands of Han soldiers, they have traveled a long way to come here, to open up territory for the Han State, fighting for blood and life, how can he let them return in vain because of his own selfish interests? And in that Pingyang City, waiting for him is the emperor of the Han Kingdom, the father who may regret it for life if he loses this opportunity, how can he bear to let him down? also let himself fall into the verbal criticism and wanton ridicule of the Han courtiers?

But the woman in front of him is also his beloved whom Liu Yao kept saying that he wanted to protect his life, how many years have they waited, and how many hardships and dangers have they crossed to get to where they are today, so that the two of them can see so much possibility? Is it because of his ambition that he wants to let her die here? Liu Yao knew in her heart that Yang Xianrong was pushed to the front of the war in front of everyone, and she was already on her back with the order of collaborating with the enemy, and her life would not be better again.

Sima Yue saw that Liu Yao did not move, he really couldn't wait, he ordered someone to tie up the sheep Xianrong, hang directly on the city wall, and finally gave Liu Yao an hour of time, if he retreated, the sheep Xianrong would be fine, if he insisted on attacking the city, he would cut the rope, and then fight to the death with the Han army, after all, from the previous battle situation, the Jin army is not so useless, and the Han army is not so strong.

Yang Xianrong's hands and feet were tied and hung high above the city wall, and after a while, her face began to turn pale, and her lips slowly lost their blood, how could she have suffered such a sin?

Liu Yao was distressed, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, the soldiers were still attacking the city, and several generals didn't know why, so they secretly looked at Liu Yao, and whispered and wondered why the Jin army hung a woman on the city wall. Looking at Liu Yao's ugly expression again, they looked at each other even more, wondering if this battle could continue.

Liu Yao knew that he was in a bad state, and if he continued to command like this, the morale of the Han army would inevitably be chaotic, and when the time came, they would lose the battle, and Yang Xianrong would not be able to save his life, so he had to make a decision as soon as possible and choose one of them.

Just when Liu Yao was about to collapse, Liu Cong rushed to his side in time, he already knew what was going on, and then looked at the city wall, and had to sigh that his brother had a good eye, even if the woman was hung there so embarrassed, she still handled it calmly, without any panic.

Liu Cong patted Liu Yao and said, "Rong'er has really grown up, and she has lost the innocence she had when she was a child, and her psychology is a lot stronger." ”

Liu Yao's eyes turned red when he heard this, his eyes looked at the figure without blinking, and he muttered to Qian Cong: "Fourth brother, what should I do?" ”

"Fourth brother can't give you better advice." Liu Cong said: "It's just that you can't look at her with the light in your eyes, you have to look back at your soldiers, look at those who fought bloodily, they also have such an eager gaze on you." On this battlefield, you are the commander of the Han army first, and then a man of flesh and blood. ”

Liu Yao understood Liu Cong's words, and he asked him to give up the sheep and sacrifice his appearance, and launched a general attack at this last moment, capturing Luoyang City in one fell swoop. But his original intention of attacking Luoyang was to sacrifice his face to the sheep, and without her, he lost his initial motivation to enter this Luoyang City.

"Think of my father." Liu Cong reminded Liu Yao again: "Think about your ambitions, Liu Yao, you are a hero. ”

Time is passing little by little, Liu Yao is making difficult choices, and Sima Yue is not having a good time. The Han army besieged the city for more than half a month, the food in Luoyang City has been exhausted, the soldiers have no food, and they are fighting the last bit of strength to defend the city.

But what kind of person is Liu Yao, he became famous in Luoyang at a young age, they all say that he is a young hero, the so-called hero, always a person with aspirations, how big is the ambition in his heart? And how much affection does he have for the sheep? Sima Yue didn't know, so he could only gamble. If you lose the bet, the loss may really be the entire Luoyang City.

An hour passed, Sima Yue appeared above the city gate again, he showed Liu Yao the knife in his hand, and shouted: "General Liu, the time has come, if you don't order the troops to retreat, I will do it first." ”

"He's betting, betting you don't dare." Liu Cong saw Sima Yue's trick at a glance, he excitedly grabbed Liu Yao and shouted: "Ah Yao, the Jin army is no good, let's hold on a little longer, don't fall for him." Seeing that Liu Yao was still looking at Yang Xianrong intently, he was ruthless and said: "You go back to the military tent, I will command this final general attack, you can rest assured, I will try my best to snatch back Rong'er's body and bury it in my Liu family's mausoleum, as your wife." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yao moved his stiff body, and reason told him that what Liu Cong said was right, he rode his horse and took two steps back, and Liu Cong raised his sword and prepared to order a general attack. Seeing this, Sima Yue secretly said "not good", and also raised the knife in his hand, and was about to cut off the rope that hung the sheep to sacrifice.

Liu Yao's pupils contracted suddenly, he pulled down Liu Cong's hand, and shouted loudly, "Stop." ”

Sima Yue's heart was relieved, and he looked at Liu Yao: "The general has made a decision?" ”

"We're retreating." Liu Yao gritted his teeth and said, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, after all, he couldn't pass this level, that Sima Yue really grabbed his weakness, he couldn't exchange the life of the person he loved for the victory of the Han army.

Although it is not known why Liu Yao suddenly gave the order to retreat, the commander had already given the order, and the Han army slowly retreated. Sima Yue ordered people to put down Yang Xianrong, but instead of sending her back to the palace, he had already let her stay on top of the city tower, and let out the words that as long as they completely withdrew from Luoyang City, Queen Yang would not be harmed in the slightest.

After returning to the military tent, Liu Cong was annoyed, he had never lost his temper with this young brother, but at this time, he couldn't help it anymore, knocked him to the ground with a punch, and scolded hatefully: "I don't have a brother like you, I am so useless, I lose the face of my Liu family, for a woman, I actually ignore the entire Han Dynasty, ignore my father and emperor, I am simply ashamed of you." ”

Liu Yao didn't say a word, slowly sat up, and hung his head behind the bookcase.

Liu Cong was indignant, turned his head and went out. Liu Yao let out a sigh of relief, he knew too well what his order to retreat meant, in addition to losing the opportunity to capture Luoyang this time, after returning to the Han Kingdom, he was afraid that he would face another bloody storm.

Yang Xianrong is still standing on the city wall, far away, he can see the military camp where the Han army is stationed, Liu Yao is there, I don't know how sad he is at this time, Yang Xianrong can sense his emotions, but can only apologize to him in his heart, she never thought that she would become a stumbling block to him, once said that she would never participate in the battle between the two armies, but now she has broken her promise.

Sima Yue asked Yang Xianrong to come into the house for dinner, he sat there, glanced at her pale, pointed to the food on the table, and said with a smile: "You are the hero who saved Luoyang, eat." ”

"Hero?" Yang Xianrong asked coldly, "Aren't you a traitor?" "She was hung in front of the city tower in such a grand manner, isn't it like the world announced that her dignified queen of the Jin Dynasty actually had an affair with the enemy of the Han State, and it is a great luck not to be cut by a thousand knives, where can she dare to be called a hero?

"Don't you know who I am?" Sima Yue said with a smile: "In this Great Jin Dynasty, as long as I say that you are a hero, you are a hero, and as long as I say that you are a traitor, you are a traitor." Empress Huidi, your biggest problem is that you can't see the situation in front of you clearly, and you always think that you can compete with it. ”

Yang Xianrong hated the person in front of her, he caused her to lose her mother, lost her daughter, all the people close to her left, and now she persecuted her sweetheart, but she can only endure it, and can only remind herself in her heart: There will be a day......

But what will happen one day? Who is talking about the future?

The Han army finally began to retreat, rumors spread in the army, and in just a few hours, the story between Liu Yao and the empress of the Jin Dynasty had been widely arranged, and it became the material for the soldiers to be bored or angry. Liu Cong still didn't want to deal with Liu Yao, he couldn't forgive his younger brother for ignoring his own future for the sake of a woman, and ignoring the future of the Han Kingdom.

Liu Yao walked beside Liu Cong dejectedly, trying to explain his decision to him, after all, they still have the next chance in Luoyang, but once Yang Xianrong dies, he can't come back.

"Next time?" Liu Cong sneered: "As long as the sheep is in the hands of the Jin army, where is the next opportunity?" If you come to Luoyang once, they will hang out the sheep once, what do you do to compete with others? If someone else comes to fight Luoyang, what do you want? Break into the Luoyang Palace and go alone to save your woman? ”

"This is the only time, I promise the fourth brother." Liu Yao said firmly: "Next time, I will definitely still personally lead the army to break through Luoyang City." ”

Liu Cong glanced at Liu Yao deeply: "Can my father wait?" ”
