It's just that the barbarian army did not retreat to the north, but bypassed Hanzhong City and marched all the way to the south, and it seemed that they were really planning to return home.

The brute army suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, which made the defenders in Hanzhong City a little confused, and they couldn't understand why the barbarian army had already taken the advantage, so why did they withdraw their troops? Could it be that there is some trickery brewing behind the scenes?

Soon, people's doubts were answered.

When Liu Xuan and Feng Yi were discussing the strange behavior of the barbarian army, a soldier hurriedly ran to the two of them and said excitedly: "Lord Liu, Lord Feng, there is a team outside the city, our own team!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xuan and Feng Yi both showed expressions of sudden realization, no wonder the barbarian army retreated, it turned out that their own reinforcements had arrived.

Liu Xuan laughed out loud and asked excitedly, "How many reinforcements are there on our side?" ”

"It looks like there are three or four hundred people." The soldier who reported the news said cautiously.

"What?" Liu Xuan's laughter stopped abruptly, there were only three or four hundred people, and he scared away the barbarian army of more than 10,000 people, isn't it a joke?

Liu Xuan and Feng Yi both got up, strode to the arrow battlement, and looked down at the city.

Sure enough, the team standing in front of the city gate was at best three or four hundred people, and it could be judged by the clothes that most of them were Hanzhong Junjun.

Feng Yi frowned, patted Liu Xuan's shoulder, and said in a solemn tone: "Bosheng, be careful of deception!" ”

The strangeness of the barbarian army's withdrawal, it is impossible to be scared away by these three or four hundred county troops, as soon as the barbarian army leaves, the county army will come to the city, is it the barbarians disguised?

Liu Xuan asked loudly downward, "Who is coming?" Through the name? ”

Liu Xiu, who was in the crowd, immediately heard that the person shouting was the eldest brother, he was overjoyed, squeezed out of the crowd, raised his head, and shouted to the city: "Big brother, it's me, Ah Xiu!" ”

Hearing Liu Xiu's shouting, Liu Xiu's head was dizzy, and he almost fell from the city. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked closely, it wasn't the little brother or who was standing under the city?

Liu Xuan jumped so high, grabbed Feng Yi's shoulder hard, and shouted excitedly: "It's my brother!" My brother is not dead, my little brother is still alive! Ha ha! Whining! ”

Feng Yi has known Liu Jiu for so long, and he has never seen him lose his temper, and at this time, Liu Jiu, laughing and crying for a while, can't tell what the expression on his face is.

Liu Xuan shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Open the city gate!" Open the gates! ”

Feng Yi also wanted to advise Liu Zhuo that it was not too late to open the city gate after asking clearly, but Liu Zhuo was like crazy, and ran straight to the city regardless of it.

The retreat of the barbarian army made the defenders feel like they had been beaten with blood, and people worked together to open the city gates.

The city gate had not yet been fully opened, and Liu Xuan couldn't wait to rush out.

Liu Xiu stepped forward quickly and said, "Big brother......

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xuan had already stepped forward quickly and hugged him tightly.

In fact, Liu Xiu didn't have much hope for Liu Xiu to survive, he had already prepared for the worst.

At this time, seeing Liu Xiu standing in front of him safely and soundly, Liu Xiu's excitement was overwhelming, and he almost strangled Liu Xiu to the point of turning his back.

"Big brother, I'm fine!" Liu Xiu could feel the joy and excitement of his eldest brother, his nose was sour, and he said in a choked voice.

"It's okay, it's okay!" After a while, Liu Xiu calmed down his emotions, he took two steps back, and looked Liu Xiu up and down.

After taking a closer look, he realized that his little brother had become different from before.

The figure is still the same figure, and the appearance is still the same look, I can't say what is the difference, but it seems to be a different person.

This is the effect of gold liquid.

The bottle of semi-finished gold liquid made Liu Xiufa bone marrow and reborn, although his figure and appearance have not changed, but his own temperament has undergone fundamental changes, elegant and luxurious, in addition, his skin has become more white and delicate than before, full of luster.

"Let's go, let's go into town and talk!" Liu Xiu pulled Liu Xiu and walked into the city. Long Yuan, Zhang Ping, Gai Yan and others also followed.

As soon as they entered the city, the soldiers at the gate closed it again.

Liu Xuan asked puzzledly: "Ah Xiu, do you know why the barbarian army outside the city suddenly withdrew?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled, turned around and pointed at Xiesang, who was being held by Li Tong and Li Yi, and said, "Big brother, the reason why the barbarian army will retreat is due to him!" ”

Liu Xiu followed Liu Xiu's fingers, looked at Xie Sang, looked at him for a moment, and asked, "Ah Xiu, who is this person?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "His name is Xie Sang, and he is the patriarch of the Xie clan!" The barbarian army that came to attack the county town this time were all from the Xie, and the leader of the barbarian army was none other than Shetsu's son Shetu. ”

Yes?! I see! No wonder the barbarian army suddenly withdrew, it turned out that Ah Xiu and they captured the patriarch of the barbarian army!

Liu Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he was stunned for a moment, and he asked in surprise and joy, "Ah Xiu, how did you catch him?" ”

Liu Xiu immediately told Liu Xiu and others what happened.

After Liu Xuan and Feng Yi heard this, they were all overjoyed, they thought that the county town might not be able to hold it, but they didn't expect that now things have taken such a big turn.

Feng Yi slapped his face excitedly, and said to Liu Xiu with an excited expression: "Uncle Wen, you have made a great contribution this time, which is equivalent to saving the lives of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city!" ”

Liu Xuan also nodded again and again, now that the patriarch of the barbarian army has fallen into his own hands, he no longer has to worry about the barbarian army coming to continue attacking the city!

As they were talking, they heard someone behind them chanting loudly, "Lord Taishou has arrived—"

Hearing the singing, everyone turned their heads to look at the past. I saw a group of cavalry quickly coming in the city, and there was a carriage among the cavalry, which was the car of Taishou Wang Xun.

The carriage stopped in front of Liu Xiu and the others, and then, the curtain of the door was raised, Wang Xun poked his head out of the carriage, looked at Liu Xuan and Feng Yi, and asked with a happy face: "I heard that the barbarian army has withdrawn, can there be such a thing?" ”

Liu Xuan and Feng Yi had straight faces, and Wang Xun bowed his hands in both directions, and said in unison: "Lord Wang, the barbarian army has indeed retreated!" ”

Confirmed by Liu Xuan and Feng Yi in person, Wang Xun was so excited that he almost jumped up, and with the support of his entourage, he quickly got off the carriage and walked to Liu Xuan and Feng Yi, unable to hide the joy on his face, and laughed: "Bo Sheng, this time the barbarian army was defeated and returned in vain, you are a great meritorious!" ”

Between the words, he didn't even mention Feng Yi.

Liu Xuan smiled indifferently, leaned over and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates don't dare to take credit, the reason why the barbarian army withdrew this time is all the work of my brother Liu Xiu!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Xun looked at Liu Xun puzzled.

Liu Xiu turned around and beckoned to Liu Xiu.

When Liu Xiu stepped forward, Liu Xiu reminded: "This is Lord Taishou Wang of Hanzhong, Ah Xiu, hurry up and salute Lord Wang!" ”

Liu Xiu bowed his hand and said, "Under Liu Xiu, I have seen Lord Wang!" ”

Wang Xun looked at Liu Xiu, looked at Liu Xiu, and asked curiously, "Bosheng, what's going on?" ”

Liu Xuan repeated what Liu Xiu had just said to Wang Xun, and finally he said with a smile: "Lord Wang, now that the patriarch of the barbarian army has fallen into our hands, the barbarian army has scruples, and no longer dares to invade the county town easily!" ”

Wang Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at Liu Xiu with bright eyes, and asked with a smile: "Your name?" ”

"Lord Wang, under Liu Xiu, Uncle Wen!"

"Good, good!" Wang Xun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, stroked his palms and laughed, and exclaimed: "Bo Sheng has meritorious service in defending the city, Uncle Wen has meritorious service in capturing thieves, and the two brothers of the Liu family are really heroes among people!" ”

As he spoke, he looked past Liu Xiu and looked behind him, and asked at the same time, "That...... Where is that Shesan now? Let me see it! ”

Liu Xiu turned around and nodded to Li Tong and Li Yi. The two of them escorted Xiesang, walked to Wang Xun, bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, this person is the patriarch of the Xiesang clan, Xiesang!" ”

Wang Xun's eyes widened, and he carefully looked at Xiesang from one to the next, and after looking at it, he frowned, and asked in a contemptuous tone: "This thief, is it a man or a beast?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xun's subordinates burst out laughing. Shetsan, who could hear Chinese, glared at Wang Xun angrily, a gurgling sound of anger in his throat.

Seeing this, Wang Xun's old face sank, turned around and took the horsewhip from a cavalryman, and threw a few whips at Xie Sang.

Shesang's hands were tied, unable to stop or dodge, several blood marks were drawn from his face, and the man fell to the ground, his body clumped together, and he let out a screaming scream.

With a bad breath, Wang Xun threw the horsewhip back to the cavalry, and said to the left and right: "Escort Xiesang back to the Taishou Mansion and take strict care!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, two soldiers came over, dragged Shesang from the ground, dragged him and walked into the city.

Liu Xiu frowned slightly and turned her head to look at her eldest brother. He made an agreement with Shetu that after the barbarian army had retreated a hundred miles, he would release Shetsan.

Liu Xuan naturally understood what the little brother meant, he took two steps forward, and said to Wang Xun: "Lord Wang, Ah Xiu used Xiesang to coerce the barbarian army to retreat for a hundred miles, and then he will return Xiesang to the barbarian army!" ”

Wang Xun said unhappily: "Release people? Absolutely not! The barbarian army has killed, burned, looted, and killed countless people in our county, and since Shesan is the patriarch of the barbarian army, he must pay for it! ”

"But, Lord Wang, Ah Xiu has already promised Yu Xietu!" Keeping one's word is the basic criterion of being a man, whether it is Liu Xiu or Liu Xiu, they all attach great importance to the word 'letter'.

"And the uncivilized barbarians don't need to speak but have a set of beliefs! They don't deserve it either! Wang Xun looked at Liu Xiu and said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, you and your eldest brother are both heroes of my Hanzhong County, tonight, this official will hold a banquet in the Taishou Mansion to celebrate the two of you!" Ha ha! After speaking, he nodded to Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu again, laughed and got into the carriage, and happily returned to Taishou Mansion.

Looking at the back of Wang Xun's carriage leaving, Liu Xiu said: "Big brother, Lord Wang took away Xiesan, which is tantamount to making me lose my trust in Xietu!" ”

Feng Yi stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wen, I don't think we should release Xiesang!" As long as Shesang is still in our hands, the barbarian army will be worried and dare not attack, but once we let Shesan go, the barbarian army will inevitably attack in a big way! ”

After a pause, he sighed softly and whispered: "To be honest, the county town has now reached a dangerous situation where there are no soldiers available, and it is difficult to withstand a new round of siege by the barbarian army!" If you don't show up in time today, I'm afraid that the county will ......."

Now there is less luck and less luck!

Liu Xiu nodded first, and then asked curiously: "Big brother, brother Gongsun, how have you resisted the barbarian army attacking the city in the past few days?" ”
