"What? Just such a letter? Bo Xu is a bit alarmist, right? Zhang Xian smiled and said disapprerovingly: "This official can see from this letter that Du Xian is a little jealous, he said that Captain Han's victory was deliberate by the enemy, hehe, even if Liu Qi is stupid, it is impossible to give us so many materials in vain, right?" If there is such a good thing, I wish I had been deceived every day. ”

Huan Jie shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Du Raid is in such a situation, but he still does not forget to worry about state affairs, he is really a generation of good generals, but it is a pity that we all fell for Liu Qi's tricks and lost trust in him, otherwise, Liu Qi is afraid that even if the siege of the city is three years, it will be difficult to conquer my Linxiang City, I only hope that Du Raid will not really surrender to Liu Qi now, everyone should know that he has a prestige in the army, today Captain Han took office, and demoted the two old generals of Du Raid, which has already made the generals dissatisfied, Once Du Raid surrenders to Liu Qi, I am afraid that the old generals in the army will respond in groups, so that it will be really difficult for us to fly. ”

"Hehe, how is this possible? The gentleman was overwhelmed. Zhang Xian's face was a little unnatural, and he just wanted to order someone to go to monitor Du Raid, but suddenly heard Zhang Yun, the captain of the personal army, run in and said loudly: "Lord Taishou, it's not good, Liu Qi led the army to attack Linxiang City, Du Raid returned to Liu Qi, and is leading the army to attack my Taishou Mansion, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and they can't stand it." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xian's heart was shocked when he heard the report, his hands trembled, and the tea bowl fell to the ground and was shattered.

Stunned for a moment, Zhang Xian hurriedly hugged Huan Jie and said: "Sir, you are a generation of wise men, there must be a way to solve the difficulty, quickly come up with a way to deal with it, no matter what the method is, I will listen to you." ”

But he heard Huan Jie sigh slowly: "So far, even if you are wise and peaceful, you are helpless, not to mention that the last general is short of wisdom and has no power to return to the sky, everyone is resigned to fate." ”

Zhang Xian was unwilling, he shook his head, suddenly looked at Han Xuan on the side, and said loudly: "This qiē is Han Xuan, if it weren't for his bewitchment, how could this official not believe Du Xuan?" Come on, kill Han Xuan and dedicate his head to Du Xuan, so that Du Xuan will definitely be willing to protect his official again, so that we may still have hope of escaping. ”

Han Xuan couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Lord Taishou spares his life, this qiē has nothing to do with General Mo, it is all Liu Qi's trick, Mr. Huan, you should know this qiē best, please intercede with the adult and save my life." ”

Huan Jie opened his mouth, and thought about interceding for Han Xuan, but suddenly stopped, because he knew that Zhang Xian was no longer rational at this time, and if he said it again, I was afraid that even he would be killed, after all, Zhang Xian rebelled at the beginning, but he listened to his own persuasion.

So Huan Jie, taking advantage of Zhang Xian's pretext of going to the toilet, quietly escaped without thinking about himself.

As soon as Huan Jie walked out of the door of the hall, he heard Han Xuan let out a miserable scream, and then there was no sound from him, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart, knowing that Han Xuan had become a ghost under the knife, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he had finally escaped, because Zhang Xian would soon think of himself.

Although Huan Jie walked out of the hall of the Taishou Mansion, but now that the entire Taishou Mansion has been surrounded like an iron bucket, how can he escape? Immediately, he was discovered by the sergeants who were surrounded by layers, and then they couldn't help but arrest him.

Huan Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said secretly: "I just got out of the tiger's mouth this time, and I came to the wolves again.

At this moment, I heard a voice coming: "Huan Boxu, I didn't expect that even you turned your back on Lord Taishou, this is really a wonderful irony." ”

Huan Jie sighed softly: "Du Zixu, until now I don't understand that I, Huan Jie, still don't have a thorough understanding of you, and I would be suspicious of a loyal and upright person like you, I have to admire Liu Qi's clever methods, and at the same time feel ashamed of myself." Now that I have been captured by you, I have nothing to say now, whether to kill or chop, listen to me. ”

Du Xian said with a smile: "No matter what, you are also a famous man in Changsha, and you have had a good friendship with me before, not to mention that I am now a general of Shun Fenwu, and I have no right to deal with you." Therefore, I can only wronged you and was temporarily imprisoned by the sergeants of our army. ”

After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to tie up the Huan steps, take care of them, and then led the army into the hall.

"Du, General Du, they are all confused by the official, they were bewitched by Han Xuan, they mistakenly fell into Liu Qi's treacherous scheme, and they have doubts about you, the official has regretted it now, in order to show his sincerity, he has killed Han Xuan, I hope the general will read the old feelings of the official and let me live."

After Zhang Xian finished speaking, he offered Han Xuan's head, and then said respectfully.

Du Xian sighed and said softly: "Although Han County's order doesn't know right from wrong, it is just loyal to the country, how did Lord Taishou kill him?" In fact, the last general does not hate Lord Han, it is useless for you to kill him, you can only add one more crime to yourself, as for letting you go, please forgive the last general for not daring to abolish the public for personal gain, the last general is now a general under the account of General Fenwu, how to deal with Lord Taishou is decided by General Fenwu, how dare the last general call the shots? ”

After Du Xun finished speaking, he shouted: "Come on, tie up Zhang Taishou and Gongzi, and wait for the general to dispose of it." ”

Zhang Xian couldn't help but let out a long sigh, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have trusted such a good general as Du Xian, and he lost Linxiang City so lightly, thus becoming a prisoner of others.

With Zhang Xian being captured, the resistance of the Taishou Mansion gradually stopped, and Du Xi ordered his army Sima to send people to the west, south, and north gates to persuade the defenders to give up resistance and let Liu Qi's army enter the city. After that, he personally sat in the Taishou Mansion and respectfully waited for Liu Qi's army.

Half an hour later, with a few roosters high-pitched and loud dawn sounded, announcing the arrival of dawn, this Linxiang City, as the seat of Changsha governance, looks no different from usual at first glance, but no one can imagine that this city has been noisy for a whole night, in this night, this impregnable city has changed hands.

Now its new owner is walking to the Taishou Mansion, which once symbolized the supreme power of the entire Changsha County and even the entire Jingnan County, to the cheerful beat.

This qiē is unexpectedly smooth, Liu Qi and Xu Shu Tong guò jointly formulated a strategy, in one fell swoop to capture Linxiang City, so that the entire four counties of Jingnan completely fell into peace, in addition, what makes him even more excited is that he also accepted such an excellent general as Du Xi, if this general is about strategy, far less than Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Pei Qian, these wise men, if you talk about military strategy, far less than Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning These fierce generals, if you talk about ingenuity, it is not as good as forbidden, but he can unite the soldiers, Guangshu Enxin, The ability to command troops is comparable to Yu Ban. In addition, this person is loyal and pure, honest and selfless, and he is really a loyal and brave general.

The moment Liu Qi stepped into the hall of the Taishou Mansion, he saw Du Xi standing respectfully in the room, kneeling beside the frightened Zhang Xian father and son, and at the same time sitting a young scribe with a bound body and a white beard.

At this time, I heard Du Xian say in a respectful voice: "The last general Du Xian saw General Fenwu, the last general has been ordered to capture Zhang Xian's father and son and the scribe Huan Jie, before the last general has sent people to persuade the soldiers guarding the city gates everywhere to surrender to the general, and now the war everywhere must have subsided, and the last general has come to give orders." ”

Liu Qi hurriedly helped Du Xun up and said: "Haha, Zixu did a good job, I don't like Changsha today, but I like Zixu'er." After finishing speaking, Liu Qi appointed Du Xi as the captain of the Ping Thief, and still commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Linxiang.

After that, Liu Qi turned to Huan Jie, and said lightly: "Huan Boxu, you persuaded Zhang Xian to stand on his own feet for your own selfishness, and as a result, the four counties of Jingnan fell into a war, and the people suffered from the war, what do you have to say today?" ”

Huan Jie's face remained unchanged, and he said with a long smile: "I was captured today, and I just died, so why rap?" ”

"Well, in that case, the general will be done for you. Come on, drag it out, cut it. Liu Qi shouted, and saw that the wolf-like soldiers immediately rushed over, dragging Huan Stairs and walking out of the door.

At this time, Du Xun hurriedly shouted: "Wait." ”

After finishing speaking, he knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "General, move slowly, the general will have something to say." ”

"Oh? I don't know what Zixu has to say? Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

But seeing Du Xian said in a respectful voice: "Although Huan Boxu persuaded Zhang Xian to be self-reliant, he should be guilty of capital crimes, but this person is a wise man, honest and selfless, if the general is merciful and forgive, he will be grateful for the picture, one is to make the sage useful, and the other is to show that the general has the capacity to tolerate people, isn't it beautiful?" ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he replied with disgust and joy: "This general has also heard of the name of Huan Boxu, and he is not a good candidate." ”

So he stepped forward, personally untied the Huan Steps, and said with a smile: "Bo Xu is willing to create a great cause with me, show his genius in his chest, and protect the country and the people?" ”

Hearing this, Huan Jie sighed softly: "The general is broad, eloquent, and admired, if the general does not give up, the rank is willing to serve the general." ”

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this, and immediately appointed Huan Jie as the chief secretary of Changsha County.

After receiving the Huan Rank, Liu Qi ordered his own soldiers to push Zhang Xian's father and son out and behead him, but saw Huan Jie step forward and said: "Zhang Xian's father and son are very popular in Changsha, if the general kills them today, it may be difficult to clean up the people's hearts, so it is better to deprive him of his official position and move him to Xiangyang, so that Zhang Xian can save his life, and the general will also win the popularity of the people with his generosity." ”

Liu Qi nodded, ordered Zhang Yi to return his wife Zhao to Zhao Fan, and then ordered them to pack up and move to Xiangyang the next day.

Zhang Xian's father and son picked up a life, it is already a thousand joys, kowtow to Liu Qi more than once, hurriedly go home to pack up, under the arrangement of Huanjie, the next day to publicize Liu Qi's merits, and after thanking Huanjie, the family moved to Xiangyang.

At this time, Liu Shi came to report that all the soldiers in the city had surrendered, and Xu Shu promptly announced that the people were in order, and now the city was in order, and it was restored to life.

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered all counties to surrender in the name of Changsha Taishou, and then wrote a letter to Liu Biao to report the news of the pacification of Changsha.
