Chapter 711: Reforming the Army

The situation in Xiangyang deteriorated rapidly, and Shen Du and others were arrested.

Liu Xie was convinced of Lu Tianba's surrender, especially after the other party's non-stop actions.

Although he also considered the significance of the other party's doing, he was immediately fascinated by his so-called imperial prestige.

But.

The good side of things often only exists for a short period of time.

Just before Liu Xie could break free from his imagination, bad news had already come.

Xu Tian's army had returned to Xiangyang and began to encircle the city.

When Liu Xie got the news and was about to go on patrol, the army had already surrounded the entire city.

Liu Xie, who was standing on top of the city tower, looked at the countless Chu troops outside the city, although he had been forced to calm down, he still couldn't control the fear in his heart.

The position of the Chu army is too strong, and there are more and more signs.

According to the previous assumption, Liu Xie's edicts were sent out one after another.

Without the slightest exception, these edicts were all mud cattle into the sea, and there was no more news.

However, the strange thing is that the Chu army, which had already surrounded the city, did not rush to attack.

It's just that the city is surrounded and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and other than that, there is no other action.

"Bastard! It's all bastards! ”

Above the main hall of the palace, Liu Xie roared wildly.

For three whole days, not a single person came to the rescue.

Not only was there no one, not even a single indication.

At this time, Liu Xie found out that his emperor's prestige didn't work at all!

All assumptions up to this point are illusory assumptions that have no effect.

After blasting away another group of ministers, Lu Tianba appeared on the top of the main hall.

After seeing Lu Tianba, Liu Xie's complexion improved a lot.

After all, the other party is the most powerful and prestigious person in this city.

"Tianba, you're here, I'm desperate now!" Liu Xie's appearance looked very bleak.

He looked at Lu Tianba, like a man who fell into the water, a life-saving straw that he finally chose.

"Your Majesty, don't panic, it's not so serious at all!" Lu Tianba stepped forward with a smile and bowed respectfully to Liu Xie.

"What is Aiqing's plan?"

"Your Majesty, the current situation is much more serious than we imagined!"

Lu Tianba's face suddenly became ugly: "Your Majesty knows that the King of Chu has a large number of troops stationed in Jiangling and Xiakou.

Now as long as he raises his arms and shouts, these troops will quickly come to the front line of Xiangyang, as long as these troops are reinforced, Xiangyang will not be able to hold it no matter what! ”

Lu Tianba didn't say a word, and Liu Xie unconsciously took a step back.

He knew all these things before, but the ministers always told themselves that as long as they stood up, no one would not take refuge in him.

Now that they have become the target of public criticism, they are silent one by one, without the slightest swear before.

"It's... How good is that? Liu Xie only felt that all the strength in his body was about to be drained.

"Your Majesty, doesn't you have any other followers besides the ministers?" Lu Tianba was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Liu Xie and said.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie's face immediately changed, and he immediately lost his previous sadness and powerlessness.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing Liu Xie's reaction so big, Lu Tianba knew that his guess was right.

If things are really like this, if he doesn't make a move, Liu Xie will have no power to resist.

So before he didn't surrender to Liu Xie, why did he have the courage to take this step?

Could it be that he really feels that his life is too long and wants to die?

Lu Tianba is not stupid enough to believe this kind of assertion.

"The minister doesn't mean anything, he just thinks that the situation is too tense now, and once the minister can't do anything, then our end will be a dead end!"

Lu Tianba's voice was very low, and after he finished speaking, he kept staring at Liu Xie, only to see that the other party's heart was furious.

It's just that Liu Xie is still silent...

"Since this is the case, then the minister will go down and prepare, and the minister will use all the power that can be used, and if it fails in the end, then he can only accept his fate.

However, even if the minister is dead, he will never regret that he once followed His Majesty!! ”

After a long time, Lu Tianba knelt down to Liu Xie, and after saying this impassioned speech, he turned around and wanted to walk outside the hall.

Liu Xie looked at Lu Tianba's back and remained silent.

Seeing that Lu Tianba was getting closer and closer to the palace gate...

Ten Steps..... Nine Steps... Eight steps....

Just as Lu Tianba was about to step out of the palace gate, Liu Xie's voice suddenly came: "Wait! ”

Lu Tianba was shocked, then his steps paused, and he slowly turned around.

"Is there anything else Your Majesty needs to instruct?"

Liu Xie still looked at Lu Tianba in silence for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

After waiting for a while, I saw him sigh faintly: "I, I still choose to believe you, if it weren't for you, the result might be really bad!" ”

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?" Now it was Lu Tianba's turn to be puzzled.

But although he was very puzzled on the surface, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

If he really walked out just now, and Liu Xie didn't change his mind, then this scene would probably end here.

It's a big gamble!

Fortunately, Lu Tianba himself made the right bet this time.

Don't look at him now, in fact, his back is already soaked with sweat.

"You're right, if it weren't for you, I would have had other plans, otherwise, how would I have dared to act rashly.

As for you Tianba, it's just a surprise from God! ”

Liu Xie took a deep breath and told Lu Tianba the deepest secret in his heart.

It's not that he wants to really trust the other person, it's that he has no choice right now.

He didn't dare to bet, if Lu Tianba saw that the situation was not good and retreated, his fate was likely to be even worse!

"I don't know what Your Majesty's plan is..."Lu Tianba said very carefully.

At this point, if the plan fails because of one's own impatience, it really outweighs the loss.

At this moment, he was a little envious of Shen Du.

I knew that I would let him play this role, anyway, I just need to stay quiet.

"Do you remember the Sun He who forced Sun Quan to go back and clean up the portal?" Liu Xie said word by word.

"Chen knows, but wasn't he cleaned up by Sun Quan? According to intelligence, all of Sun He's henchmen were beheaded all over the house! ”

Lu Tianba suddenly had a bad premonition, he felt that he had a good chance of learning of a huge conspiracy....
