On the street of Wancheng, there was a girl in white, with a slender figure and a slightly chubby face, only to find that it was swollen after a closer look, it turned out that this woman was the female assassin Xiahou Ling, walking on the street blankly.

From time to time, Han soldiers passed by on both sides, all looking at her curiously, and some glared at her angrily, but none of these soldiers did anything about her.

Xiahou Ling was walking, and several women caught up behind her, and suddenly threw vegetable leaves at her, and scolded: "Bad woman, smash you to death!" ”

Xiahou Ling said angrily: "Why did you smash me? Did I mess with you? ”

The women were still scolding: "Shameless! Why didn't the emperor kill you? Why don't you die? ”

Xiahou Ling was about to get angry and beat them, but more people came around and scolded her. At this time, a pair of cavalry came over and shouted: "It's all gone, Your Majesty has a will, don't embarrass Xiahou Ling, are you going to resist the decree and rebel?" ”

The crowd didn't listen at all, and continued to smash her with the leaves. One of the old men shouted: "Master Bing, His Majesty the Emperor is so good, she still wants to assassinate, isn't this a crime that deserves death?" Why keep her! Folks, if the emperor doesn't kill her, we will kill her, or one day he will assassinate His Majesty! ”

The captain of the soldiers shouted, "I think which of you dares? Is it all the other way around? It's all scattered for Lao Tzu! ”

As he spoke, he asked the soldiers to disperse the angry people.

Although the people stopped smashing her, they still pointed at her from afar and scolded her secretly.

The captain rode up to Xiahou Ling and said, "Girl, you are walking on the street alone, let me take you out of the city." ”

"Thank you."

"Thanks for the fart!" The captain scolded, "If it weren't for Your Majesty's will, Lao Tzu would want to kill you!" ”

Xiahou Ling raised his head and said, "Then you can kill it......"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, hurry up!"

The cavalry captain led a group of soldiers to escort Xiahou Ling towards the city gate.

In the secret, there were two female generals on horseback, who were watching silently, but it was Ma Feng and Wen Yin, Wen Yin wanted to draw his sword and kill Xiahou Ling several times, but Ma Feng stopped him, and said: "Your Majesty has a will, you can't hurt her, do you want to resist the will?" ”

Wen Yin shouted: "Oh, I don't understand, why did Your Majesty let her go!" And let her wear such clothes. Damn, damn! ”

It turned out that the white prison clothes that Xiahou Ling had changed into had five big characters written on the back: Liu Xie is a faint gentleman.

No wonder the people are even angrier.

Because it was getting late, the soldiers actually said that it was not safe to go out of the city, and arranged for Xiahou Ling to stay in an inn.

In the inn, Xiahou Ling found the words behind her, a burst of embarrassment, and a burst of anger.

In the inn, the store also ignored her, and if she wanted to have a meal, she was delayed. In the evening, a large number of people came to shout and curse outside the inn, and were dispersed by the patrol soldiers who arrived.

Xiahou Ling hid alone in the guest room of the inn, and the innkeeper came to the outside of the guest room and said: "You girl, you look like a beautiful and sensible person, why can't you distinguish between right and wrong, can't you see how wise and martial His Majesty the Emperor is?" Can't you see how much the people love him? Why did you have to die for Cao Cao to assassinate Your Majesty? ”

Xiahou Ling said: "I know you are a lobbyist sent by the emperor, you can leave quickly!" I'm going to rest. ”

"!" The shopkeeper scolded: "Such a wise man, do you still need a lobbyist? It's you who don't know what's wrong! ”

Xiahou Ling ignored him anymore and lay down on the bed early to sleep.

Early the next morning, he left the inn and went out of Wancheng towards Xuchang. Because she didn't have any clothes to change, she turned the clothes with the words written on her back and wore them upside down.

On the way to Xuchang, the Han army she met was reassuring to her all the way, and she returned to Xuchang in a hurry.

Don't talk about Xiahou Ling, but talk about Yan'er who is poisoned and unconscious.

After falling asleep for two days, he finally woke up again, only to see himself lying on the bed, Liu Xie lying on the edge of the bed asleep, and the four palace maids were busy in the room.

A palace maid said in surprise: "Ah, is the mother awake?" ”

Liu Xie was also awakened, and when he saw Yan'er wake up, he excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "Thank God, you finally woke up." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry," Yan Er said, "I've worried you." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said, "As long as you're okay, I'll be fine, you wait." ”

Liu Xie turned around and shouted, "Go and call Doctor Hua to come over!" ”

Yan Er said: "Your Majesty, I am a military general, why did you get so many palace maids to serve me?" ”

Liu Xie said: "During your treatment of poison, you have to scrub and bleed, how can you do it without the service of a palace maid?" They were all temporarily transferred from the queen's concubine. You can rest assured that you will be sick. ”

Yan Er sighed and said: "Alas, I'm really useless, did it affect the march, we should go to Xuchang, right?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Xuchang is there, we can go whenever we want, but I can't live without you." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine you said is so touching, I can't wait to put on the battle now."

"If you want to get better as soon as possible, give me obedient recuperation, and in two days, you will be in Luoyang."

"I don't."

"Do you dare to resist? If you resist the decree, I will ignore you in the future. ”

"Okay then."

"This is my good face."

Yan Er was sick in Wancheng for a few more days, and then she was sent back to Luoyang, and Hua Tuo also went back with her. Liu Xie asked Fushou Donglu to return to Luoyang together. It is only said that after taking Xuchang, he will also take the army back to Luoyang.

However, it was said that after Yan'er returned to Luoyang, Liu Xie's Han army had been stranded in Wancheng for nearly ten days. He ordered Wen to hire to guard Wancheng, and he led the army to set off in the direction of Xuchang.

On the way, he met Ma Chaojun, a total of 200,000 troops, and soon came to the city of Xuchang.

Xuchang is Cao Cao's lair, with only 50,000 troops left and 100,000 people in the city.

When Cao Cao captured Wancheng, he originally planned to go south to attack Jingzhou, destroy Liu Biao, and then set his forces in Jingzhou, and then map Jiangnan, in order to fight against the imperial court.

His strategic thinking was still good, but unexpectedly, Liu Xie was even more ruthless, and suddenly the army went south, surrounded Wancheng, isolated Xuchang, and made Cao Cao passive everywhere, and the two soldiers could not take care of it.

Seeing the arrival of the imperial army, Xuchang was surrounded by water.

Liu Xie led the generals to Xuchang City and asked the generals: "How do you think of breaking Xuchang?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "Your Majesty, how about surrounding Xuchang like besieging Wancheng, besieging but not attacking?" ”

Liu Xie nodded and asked the other generals again.

Wen Yin said: "Your Majesty, since our army set out from Luoyang, it has been nearly three months, and when it came out, it was the end of April, and now it is July, the weather is hot, and it does not rain. Therefore, the courtiers thought that Xuchang should be taken as soon as possible, so as not to complain more from the soldiers. Moreover, Xuchang has few soldiers, our army has many weapons and sufficient food, although Cao Cao is treacherous, Xuchang City can also be broken in the future! ”
