Chapter Seventy-Seven: Liu Yao Asks Ying to Be a Han Envoy
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Anding, I was fortunate to hear about His Highness's deeds, but I didn't expect His Highness to be so young." Ma Kang saw that Liu Yao was very polite, so he had a good impression and promoted him.
"This is in the Han army camp, it's better for the three of you to be a little more restrained just now, I live in the North Gate camp, and the three of you can come to me if you have any problems." Liu Yao was bored at this time, and she didn't want to have too much entanglement with them.
"If you have time, you will definitely visit Your Highness." Ma Kang heard that Liu Yao didn't plan to chat with them anymore, so he was also ready to end the topic.
"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ascended the throne as the new emperor, and tomorrow he will send troops to attack Chengdu and re-establish the imperial court, and the mission of the three can be completed." Liu Yao reminded.
The matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's accession to the throne has not yet been publicized, and most people still don't know about it.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ma Kang was a little stunned when he heard the news of the prince's accession to the throne, and then reacted, if the Han army wanted to break the situation in Chengdu, it could only set up a new emperor.
Liu Yao didn't say anything more, turned around and left, he was going to attack Chengdu City tomorrow, he had to go back to the camp to prepare.
Early the next morning.
Yan Yu and Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses were combined, and nearly 50,000 troops formed a formation at the east gate of Chengdu, and the momentum was raging.
In front of the Han army, Liu Rui was dressed in a golden simple dragon robe, surrounded by a large number of Han army generals.
The Han army in the northwest and south of the three gates also gathered at the city gate at the same time, and after the east gate launched a general attack, they also sent troops to cooperate at the three gates.
Liu Yao, as the king of Anding County, came to the East Gate camp this time at the request of Jiang Wei, and stood behind the new emperor Liu Rui with the emerging king Liu Xun.
After learning the news that Liu Rui was enthroned as the new emperor, the whole Han army was boiling, and they cheered loudly.
Jiang Wei also stood behind Liu Rui and instructed the soldiers beside him: "You go and send this letter of persuasion to Deng Ai, tell him to release His Majesty and the hundred officials, and lead the army to surrender, and the Han army can still open the net and let him and his army return to Wei." ”
"No!" The soldier took the letter of surrender and trotted towards the east gate.
"General, now that the Wei army is weak, our army can attack directly, and after taking Chengdu, we can welcome back our father, why do you want to send a letter to Deng Ai?" Liu Rui was eager to launch an attack immediately, and it was best for the Wei army to kill Liu Chan in a hurry, in case the Wei army really decided to put Liu Chan back, then where should he, the new emperor, be placed.
"Chengdu City is the national capital after all, and a forcible attack will inevitably lead to a river of blood, which is not conducive to the national situation, it is best to take Chengdu City without blood!" Jiang Wei explained.
"The general can decide on matters in the army." Liu Rui understands his status, Jiang Wei can help him up and pull him down, and he only now feels that this throne is not so easy to sit on.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Jiang Wei smiled and nodded, he was clear about Liu Rui's thoughts.
Liu Xun, the emerging king on the side, moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.
Liu Yao also faintly felt that Jiang Wei had some taste of power, the army was all looking at Jiang Wei's horse, and the emperor could still suppress him if he was replaced by Liu Chan, and now the new emperor has no power and power, and he does not have much prestige, Jiang Wei may really cover the sky with one hand in the court in the future.
Liu Yao didn't dare to doubt Jiang Wei's loyalty, but people's hearts will change after all, especially after having power, whether he is the next Huo Guang or the next Cao Cao, who can say clearly.
After a while, the soldier ran back with his ears covered and his face full of pain.
"General, then Deng Ai humiliated me when he saw me, and let the Wei pawn at the city gate cut off his ears!" The pro-soldier had blood on his hands, and his left ear had disappeared, and he cried out to Jiang Wei.
"You've worked hard, go down and get some money to cultivate and recuperate." Jiang Wei comforted the pro-soldier.
"General Xie!" The soldiers hurriedly ran away, although they lost an ear, but they didn't have to go to the battlefield in the near future, and it was a blessing in disguise.
Seeing that the soldiers who went to deliver the letter of persuasion were cut off and beaten back, Liu Rui's heart blossomed.
"General, then Deng Ai is so ignorant, why will he stay if he doesn't attack the city at this time?" Liu Rui turned his head to Jiang Wei and said.
"Well, I can only attack!" Jiang Wei sighed helplessly, and forcibly attacked Chengdu, Liu Chan's life was afraid that he would not be able to save it.
He is actually very entangled in his heart, while hoping that Liu Chan can return safely, and on the other hand, he enjoys the current power very much, if Liu Chan dies, he Jiang Wei can control the entire court like Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and when no one dares to oppose him anymore, he can go all out to realize his ambitions.
If Liu Chan comes back safely and sits on the throne again, he will continue to be checked and balanced, not only will he have to fight against Yan Yu, but even Huang Hao, a little eunuch, can hold himself, Jiang Wei's heart is very complicated.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the city in person to persuade Deng Ai, and I implore the general and Your Majesty to wait patiently!" Liu Yao didn't know why, but couldn't help but stand up.
Maybe he still has a certain amount of family affection for Liu Chan, maybe he doesn't want Jiang Wei to control the Han court, in short, Liu Yao doesn't know what he is thinking, he just doesn't want Liu Chan to die.
As soon as Liu Yao's words came out, all the generals of the Han army showed shocked looks, and praised Liu Yao's courage, but they didn't see that the ears of the soldiers who went to send the letter of persuasion just now were cut off, and Liu Yao dared to take the initiative to ask Ying to enter the city again, I don't know if it was arrogant or stupid.
Ma Kang looked at Liu Yao from the side, with a slight admiration in his heart, this person's character is against his appetite, and like him, he will do something incredible to everyone.
"Second brother, didn't you see that one of the ears of the soldier who went to deliver the letter just now was cut off? It's too dangerous, you're my brother, I can't let you take this risk! Liu Rui was very satisfied with Deng Ai's refusal to cooperate, but Liu Yao stood up to stir up trouble at this time, which made Liu Rui feel very uncomfortable.
"As the prince of the Han Dynasty, I can't help the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty can rest assured, I will not be humiliated by the Wei army, and I will make self-determination to repay the country's kindness if necessary!" Liu Yao patted his chest and said righteously.
Liu Rui was dumbfounded for a while, his imperial brother had already said this, so he naturally didn't want to say anything more.
"Your Highness has you thought about it?" Jiang Wei also admired it a little when he heard that Liu Yao was going to take the initiative to ask for help, but it was precisely because of Liu Yao's righteousness that Jiang Wei didn't want him to die.
"I have made up my mind, the general doesn't have to be persuaded!" Liu Yao was afraid that Jiang Wei would deny his invitation, so he hurriedly blocked him with words.
"His Royal Highness's courage is commendable, the old minister is deeply admired, and I hope that His Royal Highness will put his life first, once he can't do anything, he should take the preservation policy as the top!" Jiang Wei admonished like an elder.
"The words of the general, Xiao Wang remember!" Liu Yao was a little moved in his heart, he thought that Jiang Wei was going to stop him.
Liu Yao turned around and was about to leave the front of the Han army and walked towards the city gate.
"Your Highness stays!" Ma Kang stood up and shouted.
"I wonder what happened to your envoy?" Liu Yao stopped, turned around and saw that it was Ma Kang who shouted to him, a little surprised.
"The subordinate has the courage of ten thousand people, let him follow His Highness, so as to keep His Highness safe." Ma Kang handed his eyes to Wen Yang.
Wen Yang did not feel any discomfort because Ma Kang let himself take risks, on the contrary, he was a little grateful to Ma Kang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recommend, if he hooks up with the prince of the Han Dynasty, his road in the Han Kingdom will be much easier in the future.
"In the following, I am willing to enter Chengdu City with His Highness!" Wen Yang immediately stood up and arched his hand.
"Thank you!" Liu Yao hurriedly thanked Ma Kang, turned his head and said to Wen Yang again: "In this way, it will be hard for Wen Zhuang!" ”
Just hearing the name Wenyang, Liu Yao suddenly felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
Bidding farewell to Liu Rui and Jiang Wei, Liu Yao took Wen Yang and walked to the east gate of Chengdu.
The captain of the Wei military guarding the city gate saw two people calling the door under the city, there was no doubt that it must be a messenger sent by the Han army, but he didn't expect that he had just cut off the ear of a Han army envoy, and the messenger dared to come.
"We are envoys of the Han army, and we have something important to meet General Deng!" Liu Yao shouted at the Wei army at the head of the city.
The captain of the Wei military guarding the city glanced at Liu Yao, and then ordered the soldiers: "Put the hanging basket and let them come up!" ”
The two baskets were thrown down from the city, Liu Yao and Wen Yang hurriedly sat on the baskets, and the Wei soldiers slowly pulled them towards the city.
The corner of the Wei military captain's mouth obviously smiled grimly, and he said something in the ear of the soldier who was pulling off the basket, and the soldier also smiled.
Liu Yao and Wen Yang were slowly rising in the basket, and suddenly there was a burst of weightlessness, and the basket fell straight down in mid-air, fortunately, Liu Yao's psychological quality was not weak, and he held on to the rope of the basket, Wen Yang was calm, but there was obvious anger written on his face.
The Wei soldiers repeatedly tricked them with the basket falling a few times, and then stopped playing with them and pulled them to the city.
The Wei lieutenants and soldiers at the head of the city laughed loudly.
"I am the envoy of the Han army, I don't know why your army wants to play with me?" Liu Yao's forehead was covered with black lines, and her face was gloomy and dripping.
"Hahaha, teasing you? Lao Tzu not only wants to play tricks on you, but also humiliates you! The lieutenant had a grim grin on his face.
"General Deng has an order, all Han army envoys come again, they will cut off their ears and throw them out of the city!" The lieutenant shouted.
The Wei soldiers at the head of the city all smiled and walked towards Liu Yao and Wen Yang with knives.
"Too much deception!" Liu Yao looked at these Wei soldiers angrily, he didn't expect that his dignified Prince of Han would actually have his ears cut off, and he would rather jump off the city tower and fall to his death than be humiliated when necessary.
"Your Highness, don't panic, it's just a bunch of miscellaneous pieces!" Wen Yang spat on the face of the Wei military captain.
"Look for death!" Captain Wei instantly became angry, wiped the saliva off his face, and pulled out his knife to cut Wen Yang.
Wen Yang quickly rushed forward and swept the Wei military captain to the ground with a cross leg, and before he could stand up, he immediately grabbed his wrist and snatched the knife, and stepped on the captain's neck with his foot.
"If you dare to take a step forward, I'll cut him!" Wen Yang put the tip of the knife on the captain's chest, turned his head and said viciously to the other Wei soldiers.
Those soldiers were instantly frightened, and looked at Wen Yang in horror, not knowing what to do.
"I'm going to report General Deng!" One of the soldiers reacted quickly, quickly turned around and ran away.
The other Wei soldiers surrounded Liu Yao and Wen Yang to the death, preventing them from escaping.
