When he arrived at Hongnong, he really opened the city gate and personally led his subordinate officials to meet him at the city gate, seeing that the army had arrived, he first went to Liu Cong to sit in front of him, flatteringly met Liu Cong and Liu Yao brothers, and personally took the reins of Liu Cong's BMW, and personally led the horse to lead the way.

Liu Cong smiled proudly, and did not object, led by this Taishou horse, swaggered into the city, at ten o'clock in the evening, Yuan Yan set up a banquet for Liu Cong and Liu Yuan to catch the wind, the banquet was very close to flattery, coaxing Liu Cong to be very comfortable, holding Yuan Yan's hand, he called his brother and brother up, and naturally did not forget to give him a credit, saying that as long as Liu Yuan entered Luoyang, he would play and ask for the title for the Yuanyan brothers.

Liu Cong was drunk, but Liu Yao still maintained a certain level of sobriety, tens of thousands of troops were stationed outside the city, and several of their generals were drinking in the city, once something happened, it would be a big deal. After the banquet, Liu Cong was already unconscious, Yuan Yan arranged two rooms in his mansion and tried his best to invite several generals to the host, Liu Yao resolutely refused, and dragged the drunk Liu Cong back to the camp and had nothing to do all night.

On the second day, Na Yuanyan came to invite again, Liu Cong drank all yesterday and wanted to go again today, but Liu Yao said that he didn't want to go again, he always felt that this Hongnong was too easy, and he was not at ease.

"How can you be so unhappy?" Liu Cong pointed to the dense camp tent behind him, and said: "My army is here, how dare he Hongnong County dare to make a trick with us?" ”

"Brother will go if he wants." Liu Yao said with a smile: "I'm guarding the rear here, and my brother has no worries." ”

"Uninteresting." Liu Cong glanced at Liu Yao, and took a few people to get on the horse and go to the city again.

Liu Yao hurriedly grabbed the few people who followed, and told them to be careful in everything and take good care of Liu Cong, so that they let them leave in his brother's impatient eyes.

Liu Yao looked at the back of the group leaving, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, this place was already very close to Luoyang, he didn't want anything to go wrong on the last part of the road, the closer he got to Yang Xianrong, the more scared he was.

Still all night, but Liu Cong also did not return overnight, early in the morning, Liu Yao sent someone to look for it, just out of the door of the camp, Liu Cong rode a horse, listlessly returned. When he arrived at the door of the camp tent, Liu Cong jumped off the horse, waved his hand to stop Liu Yao's words, and went into the camp tent to continue to catch up on sleep.

Liu Yao sighed, and took a few deputy generals to deal with military affairs and study the strategy of going straight to Luoyang tomorrow. After noon, Liu Cong woke up, stretched out a lot outside the camp tent, and saw Liu Yao training not far away, so he stepped forward, patted Liu Yao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Rest for a while." ”

Liu Yao glanced at Liu Cong and asked, "Are you going out tonight?" ”

"No, no." Liu Cong smiled and said: "The army will start early tomorrow morning, Yuan Taishou understands us, and will go to the army today to comfort everyone, saying that it is good wine and meat to entertain." ”

Liu Yao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything about it, in short, that uneasy feeling once haunted his heart and lingered.

In the evening, Yuan Yan really came over with wine and meat, he pointed to the things behind him, and said that in order to see off the army tonight, he was about to empty the restaurant in Quanhongnong County, and he was full today, so everyone must have fun. He did bring a lot of things, but in order to transport these things, he brought a lot of people, Liu Yaohu looked at the person behind him suspiciously, and wanted to remind Liu Cong to be careful, but the person had already walked to the middle tent with Yuan Yanyou.

Liu Cong completely relaxed his vigilance, but Liu Yao was still vigilant, and reminded the people around him from time to time not to be careless, but at this time, everyone's minds were all on eating and drinking, and no one really took Liu Yao's words to heart.

Liu Cong really drank too much again, lying down and sleeping, on the other side, Yuan Yan was obviously drunk, holding a branch and knocking on the dishes and bowls on the table, humming a minor tune from nowhere, Liu Yao led the team to patrol back and forth, not daring to relax in the slightest.

On the day of the third watch, the entire camp fell into silence.

"Your Highness is tired, go and rest." An adjutant general opened his mouth to persuade Liu Yao: "We can do it here." ”

Liu Yao frowned, and suddenly heard a movement behind him, and before he could react, a cold arrow flew in front of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden commotion in the camp, and those who came to deliver wine and meat instantly got up, forming a huge force, taking the lives of the soldiers of the Han army who were sleeping soundly one by one.

"Oh no, I've been tricked." Liu Yao hurriedly asked people to beat drums and gongs, and made as much movement as possible to wake up the soldiers who were still sleeping. Turning back again, he saw a row of torches slowly advancing not far from the tent, and they were surrounded.

Liu Yao hurriedly got into Liu Cong's big tent, Yuan Yan disappeared at some point, and Liu Cong was still asleep. Liu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to wake up his brother, and when he stared in a daze, he dragged him and ran out. Running outside, Liu Cong reacted to what was happening, scolded secretly, picked up his knife and got on the horse, and rushed towards the enemy camp. balance

The military camp was in chaos, and some of the soldiers who were woken up by the noise became dead souls under the knife before they could react, and some hurriedly got up to kill the enemy, but they were no match for the Jin army that had already killed the red-eyed and were suppressed.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Liu Yao pulled Liu Cong, reorganized the remaining troops, and prepared to break out, but he was shot in the chest by an arrow without paying attention, Liu Cong was shocked, did not dare to fight, dragged Liu Yao on a horse, and forcibly broke through with the remaining men and horses, and finally ran to a relatively safe area before dawn.

Liu Cong looked at Liu Yao, who was pale, and hurriedly placed him in the open space, pulled out the long arrow, and then hurriedly stopped the bleeding for him.

"Fourth brother, medicine." Liu Yao weakly reminded Liu Cong: "The medicine given by Ling'er." ”

Liu Cong then remembered, quickly took out the medicine bottle from his body, poured out a pill and stuffed it into Liu Yao's mouth, and let him sleep for a while.

"Fourth brother, let's go, it's not safe here." Liu Yao woke up and saw that it was almost dark, and he was about to get up.

"Safety, don't worry." Liu Cong said in a deep voice.

In the past few hours, Liu Cong secretly scolded his own foolishness, while calming down and analyzing the current situation, it is said that the thief captures the king first, he has put himself in the hands of the enemy several times, it is said that it is too easy for them to kill themselves, but no, why is this? Come to think of it, although the Jin army hates Liu Yuanjun, they are also afraid of Liu Yuanjun, and they are afraid that the son of Liu Yuan they killed will cause the other party to retaliate frantically, and they may not be able to resist at that time. Therefore, under the condition that they could be completely annihilated, the Jin army still let these thousands of people live.

"I asked people to go to a nearby town to buy medicine in disguise, and you can't ride a horse anymore, see if you can get a cart." Liu Cong was depressed, sighed, and said, "It's my brother who is sorry for you." ”

Liu Yao was also upset, a battle that was supposed to be won was so embarrassing because of negligence, he was not convinced, and he did resent Liu Cong, but seeing that he was so annoyed now, he couldn't say anything resentful, but said softly: "You are the boss, I'm afraid you will be held accountable when you go back." ”

"No, I deserve it." Liu Cong hung his head, picked up a stone and knocked it on the ground unconsciously.

Liu Yao propped up his head and looked at the soldiers who fell to the side, and fell again, tens of thousands of troops set out ambitiously, and in the end there were so many men and horses left, and the lost vitality could not be replenished for a while.

"Fourth brother," Liu Yao opened his mouth again, and said, "And the eldest brother, I'm afraid that this time I will use this matter as an excuse to be unfavorable to you, you still have to find a way, you can't let him crush you." ”

Liu Yuan's health is not very good, and who will fall on the position of the prince has become the most concerned thing in the Han court, and the popular candidates are naturally the eldest son Liu He and the fourth son Liu Cong, both of whom have made great achievements for the Han State and have a high reputation. But because Liu He is the eldest son, Liu Yuan is deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, although he prefers Liu Cong, but the meaning of the words is that he still hopes that Liu He will inherit his position.

Liu He has made good achievements, but this person is narrow-minded, reckless and ignorant, if he really inherits the throne, I am afraid that there is no possibility of development of the Han Kingdom, not to mention, he has always looked at Liu Cong and Liu Yao unhappy, and if he really became the emperor, I am afraid that there will be no two of them living a good life.

"It's just a defeat," Liu Cong didn't raise his head, and said to himself: "I don't believe that Liu He can turn over the sky, don't worry, even if there is one day, the fourth brother will always protect you, and you have to fight with Liu He to the death." ”

As soon as Liu Cong said this, Liu Yao couldn't get angry even if he was annoyed, he sighed, he was most unaccustomed to seeing the same roommate, and he had always despised the descendants of the Sima family, but it turned out that this kind of battle could happen no matter who the family, he was so annoyed that he simply closed his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, Yang Xianrong appeared in front of him, and the day when he could see her again did not know how long it would take.

The next day, the embarrassed Liu Congjun continued to return, the journey was not long, but they walked for more than half a month before returning to Pingyang, Liu Yuan personally came out to pick them up, unlike usual, he was dressed in white, without a smile on his face.

"Father." When Liu Cong saw Liu Yuan, he was ashamed and immediately fell to his knees.

Liu Yao's injury was good, but his movements were not good, and he was about to kneel slowly, but he was held by Liu Yuan with one hand, only to hear him ask gently, "How is the injury?" ”

"No way." Liu Yao's eyes turned red: "My son waited for the teacher to be unfavorable, lost the battle, and asked my father to surrender." ”

Liu Yuan patted Liu Yao's shoulder, picked up Liu Cong again, was silent for a while, and said, "Let's teach a lesson." He glanced at Liu Cong deeply, and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing." Then he turned around and walked slowly into the city.
