The Han Emperor of Shangdang is like a piece of fragrant meat full of temptation, so that Kebi outside the city can salivate but have no chance to taste it.

There are definitely not many Han troops in the city! Kebineng didn't know it before, but as the news of the attack on the Huns came back, Kebineng could deduce no matter how stupid he was. There are two roads in front of Kebineng, one is to give up the party and return to the army to ensure the safety of the rear, and the other is to ignore it, go all out to attack the city and capture the Han emperor, and follow the example of the Xiongnu generation of male lord Mao Dun besieged Han Gaozu in Baishan Mountain, forcing the Han people to bow to the Xianbei people and sign an alliance under the city.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward, reluctant to let the child not be able to catch the wolf, reluctant to let the daughter-in-law catch the hooligan, Kebi can gamble. In a desperate gamble, he ordered an all-out attack on Shangdang and captured the Han emperor. With Kebineng's decision, the Xianbei people who stayed in the rear were hopeless.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are both people who know the soldiers, and they are ordered to go out to Saiwai this time, and they know very well what they are going to do on this trip. One by one, the tribes of the Xianbei people were destroyed, patches of grasslands were burned, countless Xianbei people fell under the butcher's knives of the Han people, and the Xianbei people who survived risked their lives to go south, hoping to inform the tribesmen who were merging the state that for the sake of the future of the Xianbei people, the Han people must not be allowed to continue to stay on the grassland and do misdeeds.

Kebineng is like a gambler who loses red-eyed, staring at the crumbling but unfailing Shangdang, and turning a deaf ear to the news coming back from the outside world. But Budugen, Putou, and Suli are not Kebi Neng, they are more concerned about their own gains and losses. Especially Bu Dugen, he and Kebi Neng used to fight for the dominance of the Xianbei people and had a very unhappy quarrel, and now seeing that Kebi can blindly want to break through the party and capture the Han emperor regardless of the life and death of the Xianbei people, the dissatisfaction with Kebineng in his heart can no longer be suppressed.

In order to deal with the Fubo army that rushed to rescue the Shangdang, as early as some time ago, Ri Kebineng let Bu Dugen and Putou lead their troops to block, and the heavy task of attacking the city fell on Su Li and himself. And Su Li is a master who can't afford to make a profit, and he doesn't want to lose too much for the purpose of Kebineng, so Su Li is perfunctory to the east gate where he is responsible for the main attack. In this way, the only thing that the party needs to guard against is the north gate that Kebi can be responsible for.

In order to break through the party these days, it can be said that Kebineng has not spent blood, and even his own personal guards have gone into battle, but in the face of Hao Zhao, who has Dian Wei and Pang De at the head of the city, Kebineng can only return with a feather. Lacking effective siege equipment, relying only on ladders to climb the city, even if there is a numerical advantage to touch the city, it can't stop the counterattack of fierce generals like Dian Wei and Pang De.

The siege failures again and again made Kebi Neng lose his calm, and in these siege battles these days, in addition to the casualties under the Shangdang City, the Xianbei people died the most in the hands of the overseer team. If the battle had been fought on the plains, Kebi might have already defeated the Han army with the advantage of numbers and the deterrence of the warlords. Even if he didn't attack the party, the army would turn around to deal with Ma Chao's Fubo army, and in the face of the Xianbei army with superior numbers, Ma Chao would lead the army to avoid its edge nine times out of ten.

Kebineng chose to attack the city, he only thought about the benefits he could bring to himself after capturing the Han emperor, but ignored the difficulty of capturing the Han emperor. Liu Xie came prepared, how could he not consider the risk of being caught. It was precisely because of his thorough preparation that Liu Xie dared to stay in the party as bait.

Looking at the troops who were once again driven down the city by the Han army, Kebineng urged the horse to step forward, ready to go into battle in person, Xiuwu Lu on the side saw this and hurriedly grabbed Kebineng's horse reins, "Father, the boss can't move lightly, let's go to the child." ”

Xiu Wulu is the youngest son of Kebineng, and he is the most favored on weekdays, so he asked for war at this time, Kebineng had the heart to refuse, but he was worried that it would cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates, so he advised: "Be careful in everything." ”

In order to protect his son's safety, Kebineng handed over his personal guard to Xiuwu Lu, and Xiu Wulu's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and after dismounting, he stood at the forefront of the siege team with his left hand and a knife in his right hand. At the sound of an order, countless Xianbei people rushed up to the party city with cloud ladders.

Ascending high and looking into the distance, Hao Zhao, who was standing at the head of the city, saw Xiuwu Lu who was being protected at a glance, it was not the first time that the Xianbei people attacked the city, and there was no time when a person was protected by many people, and there was only one possibility of this situation, that is, the identity of the protected person was very noble.

Hao Zhao didn't know that Xiu Wulu was Kebineng's youngest son, but he knew that this was a big fish. Fighting with the Xianbei people for many days, the Xianbei people are attacking very urgently, although Hao Zhao is properly dispatched, but the physical strength and energy of the Han army defending the city are still a little unbearable, and now is a good opportunity to improve the morale of their own army.

Liu Xie trusted Hao Zhao's ability, in order to allow Hao Zhao to better complete the task, Liu Xie transferred the generals Dian Wei and Pang De to Dian Wei, and he was like an unemployed person, walking around the various city gates at the east gate today and the south gate tomorrow.

"Lao Dian, Ling Ming, have you seen that Xianbei person?" Hao Zhao pointed to Xiu Wulu, who was approaching under the city, and said to Dian Wei and Pang De beside him.

"Bodao, how are you going to entertain that kid?" Pound asked.

"Seeing him being surrounded by people, presumably his identity must be unusual among the Xianbei people, and when he defends for a while, he might as well open the net, let him up, and then call him to come and go."

"No problem, is that to die or to live?" Dian Wei nodded and asked.

"Live or die."

There is only one way for the Xianbei people to attack the city, to climb the city by setting up a cloud ladder, but the Han army is condescending, and the boulder and wood are also hoarded a lot, and the Xianbei people want to climb to the top of the city through the cloud ladder, which is not easy. Xiuwulu was not the first to climb, there were already people climbing up the ladder before him, but it didn't take long to climb either for the Han army to be killed by arrows or burned by the boiling oil that fell from the city. The screams of the Xianbei people in his ears not only did not make Xiu Wulu feel frightened, but on the contrary, his eyes turned red. Finally, when it was his turn, he saw Xiu Wulu holding a knife in his mouth, holding a shield in his left hand to protect his head and face, and holding the ladder with his right hand to climb up one step at a time.

Xiu Wulu was on the battlefield, and he didn't care about paying attention to the situation around him, and because the shield blocked his vision, he didn't know that when he climbed the ladder, the Han army at the head of the city gave up the attack on the ladder he climbed. However, Xiu Wulu doesn't know, it doesn't mean that others don't know. Kebineng, who was watching the battle in this formation, found an abnormality, and the Xianbei people on the other ladders were all attacked by the Han army, but the ladder that Xiuwulu had not received the "care" of the Han army.

"Quick, Mingjin!" Kebineng knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

It's just that this order was still frightened a little late, and just when the Xianbei people's main formation sounded a rapid sound of gold, Xiu Wulu also climbed to the top of the city and jumped in.

According to Xiu Wulu's idea, he had to quickly kill a vacant land so that the subsequent Xianbei people would have a foothold. But he didn't expect that as soon as he put down his shield, he encountered Dian Wei, a fierce general in the Han army. For Dian Wei, Xiu Wulu has clearly seen the other party's bravery under the city in the past few days. But at this time, he can't think too much, and his distraction on the battlefield is likely to lead to his own death. No matter how brave Dian Wei was, Xiu Wu Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet.

The sound of gold came, and Xiu Wulu immediately subconsciously wanted to retreat, but when he looked back again, he couldn't help but be shocked, and at some point, Pang De, another member of the Han army, had already led people to cut off his retreat silently.

Xiu Wulu was a little nervous, the wall of the party was more than ten meters high, and people jumping from top to bottom were no different from committing suicide. What's more, there are strong enemies in front and behind at this time, and it is still a question whether he can rush to the side of the city wall.

"Do you want to surrender?" Xiu Wulu said secretly in his heart. The higher the status, the more life-sparing it is, Xiu Wulu is the youngest son of Kebineng's favorite, it can be said that he wants to be windy and rainy on weekdays, and he has never suffered any losses or sins since he was a child. So when he was in danger, he didn't think about dying together, but how to save his life.

Hao Zhao said before that it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, but Dian Wei and Pang De still want to capture Xiu Wu Lu alive, after all, it will take a certain amount of time for the Xianbei people to rescue Xiu Wu Lu at the moment, and Dian Wei and Pang De are not in a hurry.

After a fierce ideological struggle, mainly because Dian Wei and Pang De were a little impatient, Xiu Wulu finally chose to disarm and surrender. In order not to make it difficult for the Han army, Xiu Wulu took the initiative to report to his family. Knowing that the captured Xianbei man in front of them turned out to be the youngest son of Kebineng, Dian Wei and Pang De were a little excited. This is the little king of the Xianbei people, and now that he has caught the little king, will the king be far away?

As the news spread that Xiuwulu was captured alive, the morale of the Han soldiers defending the city was greatly boosted, while the morale of the relative Xianbei people was greatly reduced. Taking advantage of the fact that Kebi could digest the bitter fruit, Hao Zhao ordered someone to send Xiu Wulu to Liu Xie for a look. At this time, Liu Xie was confronting the Xianbei man Su Li, who was responsible for attacking the east gate, with the guard Gao Shun.

Gao Shun was originally a general of Wuguan, but as the imperial court took Jingbei, the strategic position of Wuguan also declined, and Gao Shun's continued stay in Wuguan was a bit overkill. This time he sent troops to the north, Gao Shun was taken by Liu Xie's side, not only Gao Shun, but also a general Ju Yi who went north with Liu Xie. It is precisely because of these two people that Liu Xie has the confidence to stick to the party.

At present, Hao Zhao guards the north gate, Ju Yi guards the west gate, Gao Shun guards the east gate, and Liu Xie is responsible for the remaining south gate. It's just that Liu Xie doesn't show up at the south gate on weekdays, and he is also handed over to Guan Ping, Cao Ang, and Cao Zhang to take turns on duty, and Ke Bineng naturally doesn't know which one to attack.

When he saw Xiu Wu Lu, Liu Xie was taking Guan Ping and Cao Zhang to "visit the door" here in Gaoshun, and when he learned that Xiu Wu Lu in front of him was Ke Bineng's son, Liu Xie couldn't help but look up and down. Xiu Wulu is about 20 years old, and the young man is very white, with slender eyebrows and eyes, quite a bit of a boy and a girl.

"Can Kebi be your father?" Liu Xie asked suspiciously. No wonder Liu Association suspects that Kebineng's appearance Liu Xie can see the truth through clairvoyance, the body is five big and three thick, and the face is even darker, anyway, no matter how you look at Kebineng, it doesn't seem like he can give birth to a white and pure little student like Xiu Wulu.

"Exactly. Emperor Han people, as long as you let me go, I am willing to persuade my father to withdraw from the army and make peace with you. Xiu Wulu promised neither humility nor arrogance.

It's a pity that Xiu Wulu saw the wrong person this time, Liu Xie is not a person who is afraid of things, not to mention that the Xianbei people invaded and killed countless people in the state this time, which has already violated Liu Xie's bottom line. The person who killed me, robbed me of my money, and then patted his ass and said that the brothers are okay and want to leave? Not to mention the door, not even the window! If you want to go, it's not too late to leave when the account is settled.

"You, what do you want to do?" Xiu Wulu was shocked, and while struggling in vain, he shouted angrily and asked the Han army who came up to pick up his clothes.

"Don't be nervous, no one is interested in your ass. I just saw that your clothes were made of good material, and I was going to take them back and change them into insoles. Liu Xie explained to Xiu Wulu with a smile.

Xiu Wulu is the youngest son of Kebineng, who is quite loved and wears it. For daily use, it can be said that it is the best. Hearing Liu Xie say that he was going to change the white fox fur he was wearing into an insoles, a feeling of humiliation arose. Xiu Wu Lu, who had never been wronged when he was a child, forgot to be reserved, and scolded Liu Xie, Cao Zhang, who had been waiting for him to scold, immediately took a step, slapped Xiu Wu Lu to the ground with a round arm, and shouted: "Shut up, a captive is arrogant!" ”

"Aren't you a prisoner?" Xiu Wulu remembered that Cao Zhang, earlier when Kebineng had not ordered an all-out siege of the city, Cao Zhang once led the army out of the city to fight with the Xianbei people, and beheaded seven generals of the Xianbei people before the battle, and Cao Zhang's name also spread among the Xianbei people.

Xiu Wulu said that Cao Zhang was Liu Xie's captive, but before Cao Zhang could speak, Liu Xie had already stepped forward and kicked Xiu Wulu's little face, and scolded: "The trust between my Han monarchs and ministers is also something that you can leave with a kid who hasn't grown any hair?" ”

"Humph! Shoot one’s mouth off! Xiu Wulu snorted coldly without yielding, in exchange for another kick from Liu Xie.

"Hang him headfirst on the head of the city, and pull him up every two hours to rest for a while." Liu Xie commanded left and right.

Seeing that Xiu Wulu was thrown down from the city with a rope tied to his feet and neck, Cao Zhang's face was unbearable, he couldn't kill people too much, why torture people?

"Ziwen, you don't seem to approve of my handling?"

“…… Holy Lord, killing him is just a knife, why bother? Cao Zhang was silent for a moment, but still told Liu Xie what he thought.

Liu Xie smiled when he heard this, and reached out to pat Cao Zhang's shoulder, "Okay, Cao Ziwen is Cao Ziwen, I am very satisfied with you like this, more reassuring than your eldest brother who hides everything in his heart." ”

"Holy Lord, Cao Zhang just thought of something and said something."

"Hmm...... In that case, let me ask you, do you also have resistance to defecting to the imperial court? Your father seized Xuzhou, but as a son of man, you are doing things for the imperial court. ”

“…… Yes, Cao Zhang is indeed a little puzzled. Cao Zhang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded.

As soon as Cao Zhang's words fell, Liu Xie's expression remained unchanged, Guan Ping's eyes moved slightly, and Gao Shun secretly signaled to the people around him, raising his vigilance against Cao Zhang.

"Huh...... Pepin, you don't have to accompany me again, let's hang Kebineng's youngest son here, Kebi can get the news and come nine times out of ten, you go and prepare, in case Kebi can come to save people. Ziwen, come with me, and Dingguo will come with you. Liu Xie suddenly smiled, commanded Gao Shun, and beckoned to Cao Zhang and Guan Ping.

Cao Chang regretted it as soon as he finished answering, his brother Cao Ang had told him in private, remember not to say anything, you must distinguish what you can say, and what you can't say to death. It's a pity that he was quick to talk for a while, and he still said what was in his heart.

"Ziwen, I won't tell you the truth, I guess you don't like to listen to it, I'll tell you something practical. Your time in the army has also continued, and you judge for yourself, if the court sends troops to recruit your father, what are your father's chances of victory? Liu Xie took Cao Zhang and Guan Ping to a corner of the city, looked outside the city and asked Cao Zhangdao behind him.

Recruited by Liu Xieqiang, Cao Zhang originally planned to take this opportunity to find out the truth of the Han army, but the longer the contact, the more Cao Zhang found that the hope of defeating the Han army became slimmer. This is not something that does not exist if you don't admit it, but an objective fact. While the Cao army was still worrying about expanding the ranks, the Han army had already established a system that could provide a steady stream of soldiers for the army.

At present, there is only one Xuzhou left in the Cao family, whether it is from the financial or personnel aspects, it is the imperial court that has the upper hand, once the imperial court sends troops to conquer Xuzhou, unless Cao Cao can unite Yuan Xi, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei to resist together, there is almost no chance of victory.

"If you don't speak, I'll assume that your father's odds are not high. In fact, it is exactly the case, when the imperial court conquers Xuzhou, your father will either die or surrender. With your father's temper, it will be difficult to get him to surrender, and the rest of the day will be to die in battle. But your father is dead, but the Cao family is still there, your Cao family will never want the whole family to be martyred for your father's hegemony, right? If you want to live, you have to look forward. If you don't serve the imperial court, but live and die with your father, then when the imperial court recovers Xuzhou, your Cao family or the Xiahou family will be rebellious, and it is impossible to get a light shot, even if I, the emperor, open my mouth, I will be opposed by most people. But if you serve the imperial court, then the imperial court can be lightly dismissed, and your Cao family still has hope for revival. This is also the reason why when I met with your father in Xiaoguan before, he learned that I left you and others without objection, and he did not want the Cao family to decline, and leaving you is also to leave a way back for the Cao family. ”

“…… Cao Zhang understood, and the saint was relieved, Cao Zhang would not think about it again in the future. Cao Zhang was not stupid, and what Liu Xie said was similar to what Cao Xie and Cao Ang had privately discussed with the imperial court, so Cao Zhang also believed what Liu Xie said.

Seeing Cao Zhang's words, Liu Xie said to Guan Ping again: "It's the same with Dingguo, leaving you wants to leave a way back for your Guan family." Your father begged for kindness and repaid Liu Bei's kindness with death. But you are different from your father, even if Liu Bei entrusts you with important responsibilities for the sake of your father's affection, but he himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, so how can he promote you? Rather than being captured by the Han army again in the future, it is better to surrender directly, after all, you still have a large family to take care of. ”
