The autumn leaves are dusk and yellow, a little sad, all scattered in this autumn wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Chan was standing in the back garden of the palace at this time, by the lake where he had a deep conversation with Liu Chen before, but compared to the previous cheerfulness, now he was frowning, and his eyes were full of fierceness and sorrow.
"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace is gathering troops, I'm afraid it has bad intentions."
A face was mostly wrapped in a black scarf, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes, and at a glance of alertness, the surrounding scene was caught in the eye.
"Huo Yi, you have been with Gu for decades, what do you think, what should Gu do?"
It can be seen that Liu Chan at this time is very hesitant and confused, on the one hand, he is his own blood, on the other hand, he is the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty, Rao is that he has gone through vicissitudes, and it is difficult to decide.
"Your Majesty, Huo Yi only knows how to obey, Your Majesty's decision is Yi's decision!"
Huo Yi is Liu Chuanxi's own personal soldiers of that era, and they have a famous name, that is, the white-eared elite soldiers.
But since Liu Chan ascended the throne, Bai Er began to change from a horseback expedition to a conspiracy, and was fully responsible for the big and small news inside and outside Shu.
Hearing Huo Yi say this, Liu Chan sighed helplessly, and said slowly for a long time:
"The dog is incompetent, after all, it is the blood of Lone, seeing that he made mistakes and brothers killed each other, it is not Lonely's wish, so let's end it!"
Then he explained to Huo Yi:
"You sent someone to Jiangzhou, Ba County, and asked Luo Xian to send troops north to help that person rescue Liu Chen, he must not have an accident; In addition, take Lone's order to go to the barracks, and let Siyuan arrange it! ā
After deciding, Liu Chan headed towards the lonely boat, and when he was halfway there, he stopped and said:
"Remember to block the news, and try to let as few people know as possible at this time!"
Huo Yi's figure, who floated out lightly, paused in vain, and then continued to move forward, and in a few flashes, he disappeared.
"Now Lone is for the Han soldiers, you and Lonely, after the deed is completed, you will naturally not hesitate to reward, the time has come, go!"
At the sound of an order, five thousand soldiers and horses rushed out from the front gate of the wide East Palace, brandishing swords and guns, and rushed towards the palace not far away.
"Your Highness, will there be something wrong with us acting like this?"
It was Deng Liang who was questioning, he had just returned from Nanzhong, and he was also worried and looked very uneasy at this time.
Indeed, his father was Deng Zhi, a general of chariot and cavalry, and was given by Liu Chan to marry a princess, which can be regarded as a great favor from Liu Chan.
Before, it was just to deal with Liu Chen, and he also hoped to go further in his official career, but in this way, Liu Xuan actually gathered troops to force the palace, which was far from his original intention.
"What, Deng Fuma repented? It's a pity it's late! ā
At this time, Liu Xuan looked ruthless, glanced at Deng Liang with disdain, and then waved his hand:
"Someone, Captain Deng is not feeling well, please go down and rest."
Two warriors stepped forward and "invited" Deng Liang, Deng Liang sighed slightly, looked in the direction of the palace, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
"Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the former army attacked the palace and encountered stubborn resistance, and it couldn't be defeated for a while!"
"What?"
Hearing this person's report, Liu Xuan was immediately furious, and the confidence in his original eyes began to waver.
Before he could elaborate, he pushed the man away and ran in the direction of the palace.
Whoosh...
Getting closer and closer to the palace, the one-foot-high palace gradually appeared in the eyes, and at the same time, there were five thousand dead soldiers that he had worked so hard to raise.
Because of Liu Xuan's explanation, the soldiers were silent, but the symphony of gold and iron, the sound of sharp arrows piercing into the body, and a muffled snort, came and went.
"Your Highness, it's difficult, there are only a hundred guards in this palace, but they are equipped with a large number of Yuanrong crossbows, and thousands of arrows are fired together, which has caused a lot of casualties!"
A Duber (centurion) came to Liu Xuan and reported, apparently having a headache for this defense, unable for a while.
"What, Yuan Rong crossbow, damn it!"
No wonder Liu Xuan cursed, the Yuanrong crossbow is the famous Zhuge crossbow, with ten arrows at a time, equipped with nearly 100 soldiers and more than 1,000 archers.
Crossbow arrows can not only be fired in bursts, but also have a long range and strong strength, and have always been the elite weapons of the Han army.
Puff puff!
Looking at the dead soldiers who were not afraid of the impact of death, they still couldn't help the elites in the palace walls, but the losses were getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing this, Liu Xuan was anxious, because there were 30,000 Yu Lin Wei in the city, he must control Liu Chan as soon as possible, otherwise Zhuge Zhan led Yu Lin Wei to arrive, not to mention that the previous efforts were all lost, and it was a big deal to lose his life!
"You three, lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to find a gap from the rest of the place and enter the palace, and then come to attack inside and outside, go quickly!"
Liu Xuan casually ordered three partial generals, because he knew that the palace guards were limited, and he was in a hurry, and the defense army in the city could not deal with it, and there was still a gap to take advantage of.
Liu Xuan's face was anxious, and he kept urging the dead soldiers to attack, completely ignoring the hundreds of people who fell to the ground with arrows, and the floor tiles were all dyed red.
"Too... Son, no... Oh no, Yu Linwei and the Lieutenant's Mansion, including the people and horses ordered by Cheng (Harmony) are here, no less than 10,000 people, let's withdraw quickly! ā
A chief in charge of vigilance stumbled in front of Liu Xuan, obviously panicked, and even his words were a little unclear.
Syllable!
"What time is it now, you want to flee alone, is there a place to escape, hurry up and attack it, everything is easy to say!"
After speaking, Liu Xuan pulled out the sword at his waist and was about to rush forward, it seemed that he was going to attack the wall in person.
"Your Highness, no, you are a precious woman, how can you take such a risk, or the end of the future."
The chief hugged Liu Xuan, caught a glimpse of a rain of arrows like locusts flying in the corner of his eye, and hurriedly turned around and blocked Liu Xuan's body.
Puff puff!
The arrows came with great might, piercing Shi Chang in an instant, piercing through his chest.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, go, go!"
Na Shi Chang tried his last strength to push Liu Xuan forward, and then he fell weakly, revealing a few arrows on his back.
Da Da...
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Sure enough, there were rumbling footsteps on all sides, and at the same time, there were shouts of fighting, and Liu Xuan knew that his people had already exchanged fire with the incoming army.
"Your Highness, withdraw quickly, if you don't withdraw, it's too late!"
Liu Xuan fled in a hurry surrounded by several personal guards, but at this moment, a person shrouded in black appeared in a corner of the tall palace wall.
I saw him glance into the distance, where a large number of troops were clamoring, and then he raised the bow and crossbow in his hand and aimed it at Liu Xuan in the crowd.
It was Liu Xuan's chest that was aimed at at it at the beginning, and then suddenly moved down two feet, and an arrow shot out silently, leaving only a little afterimage.
Poof!
Liu Xuan, who was just about to turn the corner, suddenly felt a pain in his leg, and then lost control, and the whole person fell towards the dead soldiers in front of him, but fortunately, the people on both sides were fast, so he did not fall to the ground.
The man in black just looked at the bow and crossbow in his hand, and then threw it at will, but the whole person flashed and disappeared suddenly.
None of the people around noticed that there had been a master in this inconspicuous corner.
Liu Xuan was hit by an arrow, the speed became slower and slower, and the Han army surrounded him, and soon fell into an encirclement, and the guards and dead soldiers were separated from Liu Xuan in the crowd, and only those two people were holding on to death.
At this moment, two Han soldiers dressed in ordinary crimson robes slowly approached Liu Xuan, and in their deep eyes, they were as indifferent as dead men.
Just when he was close to Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan also saw the other party's eyes, and immediately knew that something was wrong, and was about to speak, but the two of them shot like lightning, and the two dead men lost consciousness.
But it was the two of them who slashed at his neck with knives, and then cut off his livelihood, and in less than a breath, one person took out an ordinary robe to cover Liu Xuan and cover his conspicuous armor.
"Save..."
The other person stretched out his hand to cover Liu Xuan's wide mouth, and then pulled his right hand, and the two of them controlled it and quickly withdrew into the whirlpool of battle.
When all resistance was suppressed, Zhuge Zhan came down surrounded by everyone, but he did not find the mastermind, and none of the dead surrendered, and the only captives also sucked the poison in the fingernails and fell to the ground.
Helpless, Zhuge Zhan had to send someone to clean up the battlefield, but he personally entered the palace to face the saint.
But at this time, Liu Xuan was dragged to the back garden of the palace, the place he dreamed of entering.
"Let go of Lonely, let go of Lonely, do you know who Lone is, dare to treat Lone like this, looking for death!"
No matter how Liu Xuan struggled, he still couldn't get out of control, and the two of them were like machines, just escorting Liu Xuan forward.
"Let go of loneliness, I'm impatient!"
"Those who live impatiently, I'm afraid it's you, rebel!"
As soon as this rather majestic voice came out, all Liu Xuan's arrogance dissipated without a trace, and looking at the figure in front of him, he felt a sense of fear rise from the bottom of his heart.
"Father, the son is not convinced, the son is not convinced, why, why do you want to favor him?"
Liu Chan waved his hand to send the two people back, but Liu Xuan took the opportunity to grab Liu Chan's sleeve and asked loudly.
Liu Chan looked at this son, and his eyes flashed with a little disappointment, a little guilt, and a little hesitation.
After a long time, his gaze became firm, he pushed away the hand that was holding the sleeve of his coat, turned around and paced, and said:
"Hongyu, to be honest, you shouldn't be born in the emperor's family, because you have no imperial talent, and you have no imperial heart, this is the reason why you can't be an emperor."
When Liu Xuan heard this, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he roared sadly:
"If you don't have it, then Liu Chen has it? The winner is not scored, and the father said it too early! ā
Hearing this, Liu Chan shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"Your methods are all tricks, and you don't have the spirit of an emperor, how can you talk about victory?"
But at this moment, a guard entered the garden and reported Zhuge Zhan's visit.
Liu Xuan saw that Liu Chan was about to leave, his eyes were fierce, and he was about to get up and sneak attack from behind, but the black-clothed guards around him did not move, but Liu Chan suddenly turned around, raised his leg and kicked Liu Xuan over.
"Shaft, don't you repent of dying?"
Then let the guards look at him, but Liu Chan walked out with his feet raised.
Liu Xuan looked at Liu Chan in the distance, his eyes were full of horror, in his impression, Liu Chan was a mediocre mediocre gentleman, but at this time, Liu Chan looked like a high mountain, and he couldn't see the whole picture.
But it is undeniable that these black-clothed guards, as well as Liu Chan's skills, have caused a great shock to Liu Xuan.
The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.
At this time, Liu Chen was under the strict supervision of countless soldiers, sitting quietly in the constantly shaking car, but Liu Chen's face was becoming more and more anxious.
There is no other reason, the direction of the car is to the south, if Liu Chen is not wrong, the direction is Nanzhong, and even Yunnan County.
Liu Chen knew that this was to strictly control himself in the hands of Lu Xiang, and if he really went south, then it would be difficult for him to turn over.
