However, it was said that the young Ma Chao picked Zhang Xiu in ten moves, the enemy army was in chaos, Zhang Xian ordered to pull up the suspension bridge in the city, Zou Yuan ordered to rush to the city, and Ma Chao had already taken the lead in rushing over.

The Han army rushed into the city, and Ma Chao found Zhang Xian in the chaos and stabbed him to death.

Since then, Wancheng has been subdued.

When the Han army entered the city, Zou Yuan ordered people to surrender Zhang Xiu's old department, collected more than 10,000 soldiers, and pacified the people in the city.

Zou Yuan ordered someone to go to Tangguan to summon Liu Pi and ordered him to defend the city.

He also sent an order that all soldiers should not disturb the people, and that those who violated the order should be beheaded. When it rained, a soldier took the people's clothes and covered the grain and grass, and was found to report to Zou Yuan, Zou Yuan beheaded, ordered the whole army, the soldiers were all shocked, the people heard it, and they all knew that the imperial court military order was like a mountain, and they loved it even more.

Yan Er said: "This order is too harsh, I am afraid it will make the sergeant feel cold." ”

Zou Yuan said: "Otherwise, how can the army be governed if the order is not strict?" I'm also thinking about Your Majesty. ”

Yan Er didn't say much more.

The Han army rested in the city and did not dare to disturb the people again.

Zou Yuan, Yan Er, Ma Chao brothers, Liu Bi and Wancheng officials gathered together to discuss the next move, Yan Er asked Liu Bi: "This place is very close to Jingzhou, once this Liu Biao comes to Xingshi to ask for guilt, can you keep here?" ”

Liu Pi said: "Zhang Xiuxin surrendered 10,000 troops, I still have 50,000 troops, a total of 60,000 troops can't hold Wancheng?" ”

Zou Yuan said: "General Liu must not be careless, Liu Biao is a hero, and your 60,000 troops have no combat power." You listen to my orders now, after our army leaves, you can organize the people, repair the city wall, and strengthen the city defense. As long as you can hold the city for three days, it will be counted as your merit, and even if you lose the city on the fourth day, you will not be asked. ”

Liu Bi smiled: "Only three days, then I am too idle." ”

Zou Yuan was afraid that he would carry it, so he said: "Only keep it for three days, if you disobey, you will not be spared!" ”

Seeing that Zou Yuan was serious, Liu Pizheng said: "Yes, General Zou, don't worry, if you don't let me go out, I will be in the city, and I will never go out of the city for half a step, he Liu Biao is here, scolding my ancestors for the eighteenth generation, and I won't go out to kill him in a hurry!" ”

Zou Yuan said: "That's it, you only need to stay for three days, and the imperial court reinforcements can arrive." All you need to do now is fortify the city. ”

"Yes, General!"

Zou Yuan also instructed that the people must not be disturbed, and asked Liu Pi, with the help of officials, to organize soldiers to raise troops in the fields outside the city to be self-sufficient.

Then Zou Yuan's army spent a day in the city, and the next morning the division returned to the court. A few days earlier than Liu Xie, after returning to Luoyang, I heard that Liu Xie fell into the Huns and did not return, she and Yan'er were in a hurry, and several times wanted to go north to rescue were stopped by the generals, so he and Yan'er, Ma Chao brothers and Si Xiaomei went out of the city every day to wait.

On this day, Liu Xie, who was really waiting for him to come back, was very happy.

After listening to Zou Yuan's narration, Liu Xie stroked his palms and smiled: "I said that my aunt is amazing, and sure enough, it is true." I can't imagine that you have no power to tie the chicken, and you can actually level Zhang Xiu, you are really the husband of the woman! ”

Zou Yuan said: "Your Majesty, don't laugh at me, if it weren't for Sister Yan'er and Brother Ma Chao, how could I come back so smoothly?" As for me being able to kill Lei Xu, it was a fluke. ”

As soon as Zou Yuan finished speaking, the small dictionary in Liu Xie's mind said with a dingdong: "Congratulations to your master, Zou has contributed 100 points to you, and Yan'er has contributed 50 points to you." ”

Yan Er killed more enemies than Zou Yuan, but her points were half less than her, which shows that Hongyan in troubled times has more points than ordinary Hongyan. After scoring another 150 points, Liu Xie was even happier and said: "Auntie, don't be modest, grandson said: The soldier is also treacherous." Whatever the reason, you win. It's much stronger than me, alas......"

Zou Yuan said: "Your Majesty should not be pessimistic, your battle in Hedong is also careless, I believe that if there is a next time, Your Majesty will not lose." ”

Liu Xie sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

Zou Yuan said again: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, think back then, Your Majesty was only nine years old, only brought 6,000 weak soldiers, 600 miles west to conquer Chang'an, and killed Li Guo 150,000 Xiliang soldiers turned on their horses, and shocked China, how mighty?" In today's battle in Hedong, why worry about it? ”

Listening to Zou Yuan's explanation, Liu Xie was relieved, and said in his heart: I still have 70 years of life, and I have to fight for 70 years to dominate the world.

Liu Xie said: "What my aunt said is reasonable, we will all work hard in the future, and it is up to all of us to support the Han family." Auntie, this first battle is a great victory, do you have to fight for me in the future? ”

Zou Yuan said: "If there is a chance, the concubine must go out for His Majesty to relieve her worries, although she has no regrets in death." ”

"Why do you say there's a chance? Are you afraid that I won't let you go? ”

Zou Yuan said: "No, Your Majesty, I met Cai Fuling this morning, she said that she wanted to compose a long music for Your Majesty, and asked me to choreograph for her." I know that this Changle Weiyang is a major masterpiece of His Majesty, and I can't shirk it, so I ......"

Liu Xie said: "I understand, Wen Ji's Changle Weiyang is indeed a masterpiece, and it is also a big project of my Han family, whether you go to work for her, composing a masterpiece is as important as going out to fight, it is also a great thing to contribute to me, and it is also a major event to make contributions, auntie, don't sigh." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie said: "The project of Changle Weiyang is very huge, it may not be completed in three or two years, Zhen Mi, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Guo Zhao, although the four of you are young, you can go to Yuefu to follow Mrs. Zou and Cai Fuling to learn and help, and when you grow up, this Changle Weiyang may not be able to be completed." ”

The four beauties said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie praised Zou Yuan and Yan Er, and several people recounted their experiences, and Dong Hou, who listened to it, was shocked, and said: "Alas, you girls are also bold, and you actually rushed into battle to kill the enemy, thinking that the rebels are all fierce and evil, aren't you afraid?" ”

Zou Yuan said: "The Empress Dowager, we are not afraid. In fact, these enemy chieftains are not as terrible as people say, most of them are straw bales. Just say Ma Chao, it's just a sixteen-year-old dissatisfied child, he went into battle to kill the enemy, basically one shot, at most, he ran into Zhang Xiu, and after only ten moves, he picked him off the horse. Yan'er is also powerful, they all kill the enemy in two or three moves. ”

Yan Er smiled on the side: "Isn't Sister Zou also quite powerful?" Shot Lei Xu with one move. ”

Zou Yuan said: "I also used a little trick, and I won by luck, which is not worth mentioning." ”

Liu Xie said: "When you go into battle to kill the enemy, as long as you can kill the enemy and save yourself, what tricks do you care?" ”

Everyone said yes, and Empress Dong asked Liu Xie about his experience, and Liu Xie hid the section where he was captured, only saying that everything was going well, and he finally got through in confusion.
