It was Guan Ping who voted for Liu Xie, and it was definitely not influenced by Liu Xie's domineering spirit, but as Liu Xie said to Guan Ping, Guan Ping's vote for Liu Xie was just a helpless choice so that the Guan family could continue in Dahan. Strictly speaking, Liu Xie and Guan Ping had a grudge against their father, although Liu Xie did not do it, but Guan Yu committed suicide, which can also be said to be caused by Liu Xie's persecution.

Fortunately, Guan Yu met Guan Ping for the last time before he died, and persuaded Guan Ping not to seek revenge against Liu Xie, plus Guan Ping did have relatives who needed to be taken care of, so he reluctantly stayed at the court. If it was Guan Ping's temper, he wanted to go back to Liu Bei's side, but Guan Yu stopped his son's idea. At first, Guan Ping was puzzled, but when he heard Liu Xie's words at this time, he understood his father's intention of not letting him return to Liu Bei. Guan Yu is not optimistic about Liu Bei's future, rather than being a prisoner of the imperial court again, it is better to just do this once.

Guan Yu can calmly die for the sake of righteousness, but he also doesn't want his descendants to be buried for him, so Guan Ping has become a military general by Liu Xie's side. In conscience, Guan Ping's martial arts are still very good, even if he can't be among the ranks of super-first-class generals, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fierce general. The key is to see who you compare with, and Guan Yu is definitely incomparable, but for Shang Lejin and Niu Jin, they are not inferior at all.

Charging into battle is commonplace for Guan Ping, and because Guan Yu intends to cultivate, Guan Ping's military literacy in arranging troops is also not low, given time, even if he can't become a general who is in charge alone, but it is more than enough to be a good general who leads an army alone.

Compared with Guan Ping, Cao Cao's two sons Cao Ang and Cao Zhang are a little insufficient, Cao Ang is better, similar to Guan Ping's ability, but Cao Zhang is a little powerful, only suitable for being a fierce general who charges into battle, but is not suitable for taking on the task of leading the army.

There is no need to use a hammer to ring the drum, and some words Liu Xie only needs to be clicked, but for Cao Zhang, Liu Xie must speak thoroughly. Cao Zhang listened to Liu Xie's words, and also understood his situation and his father Cao Cao's intention to leave him and his eldest brother in the imperial court, and he had nothing to say about it.

"My lord, it's a foreigner from outside the city." Gao Shun came over and reported to Liu Xieyu.

Xiu Wulu was hung upside down by the Han army at the east gate, and Kebineng rushed over as soon as he got the news, and saw his beloved little son suffering, Kebineng was furious. It's just that now that the youngest son is in the hands of the Han army, Kebineng not only can't go crazy, but also has to send someone to discuss with the Han army to redeem the younger son.

"Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows." A Xianbei rider shouted loudly while galloping to the east gate of Shangdang.

Liu Xie glanced down, and said casually to Gao Shun on the side: "Peping, I dare to bet with you, that person must have come to discuss the redemption of that kid from Xiu Wulu." ”

“…… Lord, gambling is not right. Gao Shun replied with a straight face.

Liu Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this, "Peping, don't be so rigid." To be honest, I haven't seen you laugh since I met you, don't you know how to laugh? ”

"Lord, there is nothing worthy of the general's laughter, why should the general's laughter?" Gao Shun asked angrily.

"How could it not be? Haven't you ever been in a good situation? It is often said that people are in good spirits when they are happy......"

"My lord, the messenger of the Xianbei people has arrived." Gao Shun interrupted Liu Xie's words and reminded.

"The Han army in the city listen, my family is single in ......"

"Who is your family? Xianbei has four single Yu, which one is it? Liu Xie asked loudly without waiting for the other party to finish speaking. Liu Xie did it on purpose, and there was only one Xianbei that the Han official intended to recognize, and that was Tanshi Huai. It's just that Tanshi Huai was very arrogant back then, not to mention not accepting the canonization of the Han Dynasty, and he also established a royal court in Danhan Mountain to fight against the Han Dynasty. As a result, before the big man was killed by him, Tanshi Huai fell by himself.

With the death of Tanshi Huai, the Xianbei people immediately returned to a state of four or five divisions, and at that time, the Han was too busy to take care of himself, and he had no energy to care about the dispute within the Xianbei people. Strictly speaking, there are a few Xianbei people, Liu Xie will not admit it, and the reason why he asks which one it is is is just to see if there is any possibility of sowing discord.

Today's Xianbei inside, there are only four who are considered to be strong, Kebineng, Suli, Budugen and Putou, plus Jian Man, who occupies the royal court of Danhan Mountain and has the orthodox bloodline of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei people have five single candidates.

"My family is only able to do it."

"What can Kebi say to me?" Liu Xie asked again.

"My family is only grateful for the virtue of a good life in God, and does not want to fight with you Han people again, and intends to make peace with you Han people......"

"Hahaha~" Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that the Xianbei envoy under the city was inexplicable, just when he was about to ask out loud, Liu Xie scolded first: "What a shameless Kebineng, kill my people, rob my people's wealth, at this time, I feel that God has the virtue of a good life?" You Xianbei people, aren't you all stupid? Or do you think I'm a fool? The two countries do not fight each other, you go back and tell Kebineng, the blood debt can only be paid by blood, how did you Xianbei people kill my Han people at the beginning, this time my Han people will kill back, let him wash his neck and wait. ”

When the messenger heard this, he was about to say two words, but a sharp arrow flew down from the city, and shot down the helmet of the messenger, and the messenger was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his horse and fled.

"Pepin, I'll leave it to you here." Liu Xie instructed Gao Shundao.

"Don't worry, my lord, with Gao Shun here, there will be nothing wrong at the East Gate." Gao Shun replied confidently.

As Liu Xie expected, Kebi was furious and raised troops to come, intending to reply to Liu Xie's reply to him with practical actions. It's just that there is a lack of siege equipment, and the Xianbei people, who have been unable to attack for a long time and are physically and mentally exhausted, really didn't give Kebi a long face, and they came violently, and retreated back in a gray manner.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! "Kebi can take a horsewhip and vigorously whip the generals who have returned in vain. When it was almost time to vent, Kebi could look at the Han military flag fluttering at the head of the party city and gritted his teeth.

"King, do you want to let the last general try it at an unknown date?" Hu Tuha saw that Kebi could be bored, so he recommended himself. Hutuha has always prided himself as a wise general, but others have not admitted it, and now the Xianbei generals are helpless against the party, and Hutuha feels that it is time to prove himself.

"You? What can you do? "Kobineng is not optimistic about Hutuha, although this man's brain is indeed better than that of ordinary people, but this man does not have great wisdom, at most he is a little clever. Kebineng didn't like Hutuha, but instead of being at a loss, he should listen to Hutuha's bad idea. No matter how bad the idea is, it is also an idea.

The method of agitating generals does not work all the time, at least Kebineng thinks that the Han army in the city will not open the city gate and come out to fight because Hutuha asked him to scold the formation. However, looking at Hutuha's confident appearance, Kebi can not discourage the enthusiasm of his subordinates, at least regardless of whether the idea is not working, it is better to rely on others to come up with ideas, than those who are silent and silent.

With the permission of Kebineng, Hutuha immediately selected more than 100 dirty-mouthed and loud people from the army, ready to go to the city tomorrow to scold the battle. Not to mention, when Hu Tuha and his "scolding generals" set up a formation under the city the next day and scolded him, the Han army at the head of the city was really caught off guard.

I thought that Kebi would not play this kind of indiscriminate method, but I didn't expect this guy to use it when he had nothing to do. Hutuha's people scolded very badly, but the Han army in the city just didn't respond, and kept scolding all morning, scolding so dry that Hutuha had to take his men to scold the general to temporarily withdraw his troops and prepare to continue scolding in the afternoon. Even if you can't scold Han Jun, it's good to have a good time.

But when Hutuha and his people had lunch and rested for a while, ready to fight again under the city, this time the Han army at the head of the city responded.

Liu Xie's purpose in sending troops to merge the state this time is to return a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood, and now that he encounters a scolding array from the Xianbei people, he will naturally have to scold in return. Don't look at the Han Army's current advocacy of learning culture, but those military men who were originally born in the market, how many of them didn't scold anyone before joining the army, right? Moreover, the Chinese language is broad and profound, and when it comes to scolding, the Han people can be the ancestors of the Xianbei people.

When Hutuha led people to scold the battle before, Liu Xie was also selecting "elites" to prepare to fight back, and when Hutuha came back in the afternoon, the Han army's counterattack also began.

The tin horn is a must, as for the content of the scolding, please imagine for yourself, anyway, how ugly it is to scold, how dirty and dirty it is, the kind that others want to cut off their ears when they hear it.

Hutuha was scolded and scolded, and Kebi could look at Hutuha who was dragged back from the front of the battle and rolled his eyes, and waved his hand angrily, asking people to take Hutuha away quickly, otherwise he would probably kill this scum who damaged the army's appearance.

"Can the Son of Heaven be in the city? This Wang Ke can be better than the ability to invite the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to show up and speak. Kobineng stepped forward and shouted to the city.

"I am the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, Kebineng, you violated the realm for no reason and killed my Han people, what do you have to say when you see me now." Liu Xie showed up and shouted angrily to ask Ke Bineng, and after speaking, he asked Cao Zhangdao on the side in a low voice: "Ziwen, can you shoot that guy in the city with one arrow?" ”

“…… No, that guy is very ghostly, and he is standing right out of range of the bow and arrow. Cao Zhang glanced at the city and replied with a slight shake.

“…… It's a pity. Liu Xie said with some regret after hearing this. Gao Shun and Guan Ping, who were standing behind him, couldn't help but shake their heads slightly, and the feeling of being unladylike arose spontaneously in their hearts.

"The Son of the Han Dynasty, let's not mention the previous things for the time being, I only ask the Son of the Han Dynasty, are you willing to ...... with me."

"I don't mention your uncle!" Liu Xie was furious, and without waiting for Kebi to finish speaking, he grabbed a broken brick at the head of the city and threw it at Kebineng. Grandma's, almost killed the Han people in Bingzhou, and at this time I wanted to cover up the past with two words, where is there such a cheap good thing in this world. The purpose of sending troops to merge the state is revenge, not to mention the slaughter of the Han people by the Xianbei people, so what did Liu Xie do when he came to the state?

Condescending, and because he was angered by Kebineng's words to avoid the serious, Liu Xie played extraordinarily, and although the broken bricks thrown out did not hit Kebineng, he was shocked by Kebineng's crotch dismounting, and the defenseless Kebineng was suddenly overturned by the horse to the ground. In front of the two armies, Liu Xie shot and hurt people regardless of the emperor's image, and Kebi Neng landed on the ground in front of everyone, compared with Kebineng, it was still more embarrassing for Kebineng.

In Xianbei, when did Kebi suffer this kind of humiliation, even Jian Man, who occupied the royal court, was like a third grandson when he saw him. After getting up from the ground, Kebi Neng pushed away the people who came to support him, cut off the head of his beloved war horse with a knife, and pointed at the head of the city and swore an oath: "If you don't break this city, you won't collect the army!" ”

How to defend the city is the business of Hao Zhao and Gao Shun, and Liu Xie, who has caused trouble, doesn't care. Originally, the purpose of sticking to the party was to drag down the Xianbei people, but after Ma Chao led the Fubo army to help, Putou and Budugen left the party. Originally, if it was a delaying tactic, it could also be used to delay Kebineng, but there was still a certain risk in doing so. The ghost knows if Ke Bineng will make a plan, play false with Liu Xie, pretend to negotiate peace, and secretly withdraw his troops. It's better to directly provoke Kebineng like this and make him swear in public, so that even if he wants to withdraw his troops, he needs to take care of his own face.

"The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the people who know me are also Shiyuan." Liu Xie patted Pang Tong's shoulder and said with a smile. Just returned to the city, along the way, Liu Xie was complained by the people around him, and Pang Tong relieved him of the siege, which made Liu Xie very happy.

Pang Tong grinned and said helplessly: "Lord, please be careful, my subordinates are thin and can't withstand the beating of the lord." ”

"Huh...... Okay, go back and find something to make it up for you. ”

"Strategist, how should we deal with it now? Kebi can be humiliated in front of the battle, and the Xianbei people will definitely attack the city even more frantically after that. Hao Zhao asked out loud.

"What is there to be afraid of, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will come to cover the earth. No matter how powerful the Xianbei people's war horses are, they can't go to the city. And Bodao, you are not honest, I don't believe that you didn't keep a hand. Pang Tong smiled when he heard this.

"Isn't that just to be prepared?" Hao Zhao, who was exposed, explained without blushing or panting.

……

For ten days in a row, Kebi Neng attacked the Shangdang day and night in order to retaliate against Liu Xie, but the Han army in the city was fully prepared, although the Xianbei people sacrificed their lives and climbed the city many times regardless of the casualties, but they were never able to gain a foothold in the city for too long, and they didn't hold out for a while before letting the Han army drive down again.

"My lord, my subordinates have a clever plan." After these days of recuperation, Hutuha regained his spirits. He has now become a laughing stock among the Xianbei people, but he himself pretended not to know, and when his body was just a little better, he came to Kebineng again.

"Speak." Kebineng said casually.

"Yes, you forgot, my lord, there are still many captured Han Chinese in our army. If they can be driven to attack the city, will the Han people in the city be killed or not? Hutuha said with a flattering face.

Kebi can hear this's eyes can't help but light up, Xianbei people went south and merged with the state, burned, killed and looted, and the captured Han people were just the same as the spoils of cattle and sheep, before Kebi Neng was confused, forgetting that the Han people are also people, and now he was reminded by Hu Tuha, and suddenly woke up.

"That's a great idea!" Kobi boasted by patting Hutuha on the shoulder.

Since the idea was made by Hu Tuha, the Han people who gathered together were handed over to Hu Tuha to command. Hutuha was not picky, but gladly accepted the order.

"Lord, those people ......" Seeing the Han people who were driven by the Xianbei people to approach the city, Hao Zhao had no idea for a while, and hurriedly invited Liu Xie to ask for advice. Liu Xie also frowned, Ke Bineng is vicious, he is the son of the Han Dynasty, so naturally he can't give an order to shoot his own people, but if he ignores it, the party may be defeated.

Just when Liu Xie felt in a dilemma, Pang Tong appeared and asked, "Lord, why are you worried?" ”

"Shi Yuan, you came just in time, how dare you do it at this time?" Liu Xie hurriedly asked.

"What's so hard about that? Lord, look over there......" Pang Tong said and pointed to Liu Xie's left side, Liu Xie didn't know what Pang Tong wanted to do, so he turned his head to look at it, not wanting Guan Ping, who was standing behind Liu Xie at this time, made his hand like electricity, and the knife in one hand stunned Liu Xie.

"Shiyuan, what are you doing?" Hao Zhao was taken aback and asked angrily.

"Bo Dao, you shouldn't let the lord come here." Pang Tong handed over the fainted Liu Xie to Guan Ping, and shouted to everyone in a deep voice: "The lord is a little unwell, according to the previously agreed regulations, I am now in charge of all affairs in the city. I order, anyone who is close to the city wall, whether Han or Xianbei, will be killed! ”

"Shiyuan, you ......" Hao Zhao only understood Pang Tong's intention when he heard this, and couldn't help but regret that he had ordered someone to invite Liu Xie to come here.

"Bo Dao, the reputation of the lord is more important than you and me." Pang Tong whispered to Hao Zhao, and then scolded everyone: "Cheer up!" The party is a matter of life and death for the lord, and there is no room for error. ”

Liu Xie has been well aware of the importance of military power since he took power, and his heart-to-heart way of doing things has also won him the support of most of the lower-level officers and soldiers. His prestige in the army is even higher than Liu Xie's own estimates. The officers and soldiers who defended the city were still a little hesitant, after all, it was more difficult to shoot their own compatriots than to shoot the Xianbei people, and they felt sad in their hearts. But as Pang Tong appeared to preside over the overall situation, removed Liu Xie from this matter, and stepped forward to take the initiative to take responsibility, the scruples in the hearts of the officers and soldiers were much lighter, and the Han people who shot the city no longer trembled.

……

Liu Xie woke up and found himself lying in his own room in the official office, tried to think about it, and finally remembered what happened. Rubbing the back of his neck, which was still a little sore, Liu Xie said to himself: "Which bastard's hand is it?" It's black enough. ”

"Lord, you're awake." The sheep outside the door couldn't help but shout happily when he heard Liu Xie's voice. Yang Wei was originally Kong Rong's son-in-law, and later Kong died, and Yang Wei remarried Cai Yong's second daughter as his wife. His father, Yang Xu, was also an important minister in the court, and this time Liu Xie brought Yang Xu to merge the state, and he intended to let him serve as the county guard of the Shangdang. Of course, at present, Xianbei people have not retired, and Yang Wei has not taken office immediately, and is currently only a staff member around Liu Xie, assisting Pang Tong in handling military affairs.

"Well, wake up, who sent me back?"

"It's Captain Guan."

"Oh, Guan Ping. Not...... It is estimated that he succeeded. Liu Xie thought back to the position where Guan Ping was standing before he fainted, and said to himself.

"Lord, are you healthy now?" Yang asked tentatively.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xie asked when he heard this.

"If it's okay, please move to the front hall, Master Pang and Captain Guan have been kneeling there for almost an hour." Sheep replied softly.

"Hmph, they're smart, they didn't wait for me to settle accounts with them." Liu Xie snorted lightly after hearing this, and walked towards the front hall.
