With the launch of the trebuchet again and again, the boulders were smashed into Jiangzhou City one after another, some fell on the city wall, some fell in the middle of the defenders at the head of the city, and some fell directly over the city wall into the city, the Jiangzhou defenders never thought that the siege troops under the city could "throw" such heavy stones to the city, and the already shaken military heart collapsed instantly,

The sound of war drums under the city sounded "dong dong dong", the Jingzhou army carried a long ladder and shouted to rush to the city wall, the archers shot sharp arrows to the city head again, the difference is that this time the arrows did not tie any books, but sharp arrow clusters, the defenders on the head of the city were forced by Zhang Ren, just poked their heads out, they were shot by random arrows, screaming and falling off the city wall, those who were hit by the boulder were either dead or disabled,

Wu Lan grabbed Zhang Ren and said: "General, this city is no longer defensible, let's hurry up, there is only the Jingzhou Navy outside the West Gate, and from there there may be a way to survive." ”

Zhang Ren was dragged by Wu Lan, out of the west gate, accompanied by only two or three hundred cavalry, not far away, a gong sounded in front, gushing out of countless people and horses, the first general, carrying a big knife, shouted loudly: "Gan Ning is here, Zhang Ren is not off the horse to be bound, let alone when." ”

Wu Lan roared and said, "General, go quickly, I'll stop him." ”

Zhang Ren leed his horse to the north, and when he looked back, Wu Lan's mount was empty, Zhang Ren sighed, beat the horse and galloped,

Gan Ning only had one round, and then said that Wu Lan fell off the horse, and all the soldiers rushed up, dragged him alive, and tied him up strongly, but was blocked by Wu Lan, Zhang Ren and the others went farther away, Gan Ning shouted, and led the army to chase after him.

Zhang Ren kept going, all the way to the north, the accompanying sergeants became fewer and fewer, and came to a mountain col in front, only to see the flag waving, a majestic hand, holding a big knife, and laughing: "Zhang Ren, do you still know Huang Zhong?" ”

Zhang Ren didn't dare to fight against him, turned back to the east, only walked out dozens of steps away, and another Biao people blocked the way, headed by a young general, white clothes and white armor, holding a bright silver gun, and a white dragon horse under his crotch, Zhang Ren bullied him young, and he didn't talk, a war horse, and went forward to fight with him in one place,

The general is Zhao Yun, he shook his spear lightly, and Zhang Ren fought for more than ten rounds, secretly praised in his heart, good marksmanship, the two fought for three or five rounds, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning had already led their own troops to come, surrounding Zhang Ren in the middle,

Zhang Ren knew that it would be impossible to escape today, so the surname Suo stopped the gun, looked up to the sky and smiled, his eyes widened, and shouted: "The eldest husband is just dead, you can go together." ”

Zhao Yun also stopped and said: "General Zhang's martial arts are strong and his bearing is extraordinary, wouldn't it be a pity to die like this, why not abandon the dark and turn to the light." ”

Zhang Ren said angrily: "Tell me to surrender, there is no door." ”

Zhao Yun snorted coldly and said, "Obsessed, self-defeating." ”

The two fought together again, fighting for about twenty rounds, Zhang Ren gradually ran out of strength, and Zhao Yun's marksmanship became faster and faster, only to hear him shout: "Let go." ”

Zhang Ren only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, the gun couldn't be handled, and it flew out three feet away.

Zhao Yunyin shook his gun, and the gun drilled lightly on Zhang Ren's back, and shouted: "Go down." ”

Zhang Ren's body shook for a while, and he got off the horse with a "plop", and before he could get up, seven or eight soldiers had already pounced forward like wolves and held him down.

After capturing Jiangzhou, Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, there is no danger to defend other counties in Ba County, if Liu Yan is smart enough, he will shrink his troops, relying on the city of Guanghan County to hold out, this battle is enough to make Liu Yan frightened, Liu Xin can free his hands and concentrate on dealing with the chaos in the north, Zhang Ren, Lei Tong, and Wu Lan refused to surrender, and Liu Xin did not kill them, but put them all in prison,

Liu Xin, who was in a relaxed mood, couldn't help but remember that Qiao'er had said that the Ling'er sisters were pregnant, and they came to Cai Yan's courtyard unconsciously, because the Ling'er sisters are still Cai Yan's personal girls, and the scene of seeing Qiao'er in the garden that night seemed familiar, and Cai Yan had already staggered out.

Seeing Cai Yan, Liu Xin suddenly understood, isn't this scene described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Wang Yun saw Diao Chan and later set up a serial plan, thinking of this, Liu Xin asked thoughtlessly: "Zhaoji, do you know Wang Yun." ”

Cai Yan didn't expect that as soon as Liu Xin saw her, she asked such an inexplicable question, although she felt a little strange, she still said with a smile: "Of course I know Wang Yun, he and my father were both Dongguan waiters. ”

Liu Xin nodded, and asked again, "What does Dongguan Shilang do?" ”

Cai Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "No wonder my sister often says that you don't learn and don't know what your official position is, Dongguan is the place where the emperor collects classics, and the duty of Dongguan Shilang is to help the emperor sort out the classics." ”

Liu Xin now understood, it turned out that Cai Yong and Wang Yun were both senior researchers at the National Library, and now the two have already parted ways, Cai Yong has been a respected academy in Jingzhou, and Wang Yun is even more powerful, he first did the history of Yuzhou Thorn, and now he is the right man of Shangshu, and he will be promoted to Situ in the future, that is the third duke, I didn't expect Cai Yong and Wang Yun to be old colleagues, Cai Yong is far greater than Wang Yun in terms of talent and fame, presumably in Dongguan at that time, Cai Yong always had to press Wang Yun's head, No wonder the first thing Wang Yun did after coming to power was to kill Cai Yong, an old colleague,

Seeing that Liu Xin was silent, Cai Yan pushed him and asked, "Husband, why did you think to ask this." ”

Liu Xin came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I'm just casually asking, is your family and Wang Yun's family very familiar." ”

Cai Yan's thoughts can't help but go back to her childhood, she has been smart and studious since she was a child, her father often takes her to participate in various literati gatherings, Wang Yun's mansion in Luoyang is also one of their meeting places, Wang Yun is also a scholar family in Luoyang, and has raised many kabuki and dancers, every time these young and beautiful women come out to sing and dance, at that time, Cai Yan was still very young, but she was born with a keen sense of art, not only music, but also very interested in singing and dancing, often singing and dancing behind, In the childhood before Cai Yong's family was exiled, Cai Yan's life was definitely very happy, thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a faint smile on her face,

Liu Xin looked at the blush on her face and asked, "What did you think of, so happy." ”

Cai Yan said shyly: "It's nothing, it's just some things when I was a child, at that time I often went to Lord Wang's house to play, and there were many girls in Lord Wang's house singing and dancing, and I had so much fun at that time." ”

Liu Xin's heart lit up, Wang Yun really liked to raise dancing girls, and asked casually: "Then there is a girl named Minchan among these dancing girls, do you know her?" ”

Cai Yan's eyes widened, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Husband, you quickly explain truthfully, how did you know that there is a person named Minchan, no wonder my sister always says that you are eating in the bowl and looking at the pot." ”

Liu Xin touched her head, she really couldn't explain it to her, so she had to put on a straight face and said, "Then you don't care, you just tell me if there is this person." ”

Cai Yan saw that his face changed, his mouth pouted, and he said angrily: "Of course there is, the last time I went to Wang's house, I still returned to Luoyang with my father just after the end of exile, at that time, Lord Wang had just returned to his hometown from Qiao County for the Spring Festival, he invited a lot of guests that day, and many adults' families were also guests in his house, Lord Wang invited my family over, and invited me to play the piano for them in the inner house, it was that time, I saw a little girl named Minchan, about ten years old, I heard that when I was two years old, I was sold to Lord Wang's mansion, and I have been learning singing and dancing in their house, how did you think of asking her to come, but although she was still young at the time, she couldn't hide her natural beauty, and now five years have passed, she should be a big beauty, do you want me to write a letter to Lord Wang, and ask her to come over. ”

Liu Xin heard her words sourly, and felt angry and funny, and said: "Don't think nonsense, usually take a walk, don't always sit there and don't move, lest you worry like last time in a few months." ”

Cai Yanqiao blushed: "Don't worry about it." ”

Although he said this, Cai Yan's heart was full of sweetness, and at the moment when Liu Xin turned around, Cai Yan stuck out his tongue at his back and smiled slyly,

In the past few days, there has been news in the capital, first He Jin summoned the elite soldiers of various towns into the king of Jingqin, the opportunity was not secret, but designed to kill Zhang Rang and others, and later Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Ying led the army into the palace, and almost killed the eunuchs, Liu Wei and Liu Xie were all lost, and they met Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Liangzhou on the way,

Liu Xin only knew at this time that it was not that He Jin's text had not been sent, but that people didn't want to send him the text at all, and the preparations he had made during this time had become useless.

It didn't take long for Dong Zhuo to propose the abolition of Liu Bian, the establishment of Liu Xie, and the merger of the state Mu Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan's righteous son was bought by Dong Zhuo, killed Ding Yuan, and switched to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo again mentioned the abolition of the matter, until September, he finally grasped the power of the imperial court, abolished Liu Bian, renamed him the king of Hongnong, and served King Chen Liu as the emperor,

Hearing that the capital was in turmoil, Frustration and Tian Feng used their brains again, the edict given to Liu Xin by the first emperor was to let him assist Liu Bian, and now Liu Biao is no longer the emperor, it seems that there is hope for what the golden armor god said, and together they persuaded Liu Xin to raise troops to fight against Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo,

Liu Xin understands that Liu Xie is just a chess piece in Dong Zhuo's hand, in fact, he is innocent, and Liu Wei's mother and son will soon be murdered by Dong Zhuo, remembering that Liu Hong was not thin on himself when he was alive, and now seeing that his wife and children have been oppressed, and his surname is about to be lost, Liu Xin felt a little unbearable, and said to Fu Zhu and Tian Feng: "Gonghe, Yuan Hao, the first emperor's edict asked me to assist the new emperor, who knew that the new emperor had been abolished by Dong Zhuo, a thief, Liu felt worthy of the trust of the first emperor, Let's see if there is any way to bring the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He to Xiangyang, I want to take good care of them for the rest of their lives, so as to calm my guilt. ”
