From the eight formations to the west, you will enter the Chengdu (Harmony) Plain, the Yangtze River has several tributaries on this plain, from west to east are the Min River, the Tuo River, and the Dianjiang River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Close to the tributaries of the Dianjiang River is the ditch, continue to the west across the Dianjiang River, then come to Deyang, continue to the west is the city of Cheng (harmony).

At this time, Liu Chen's 5,000 soldiers and horses finally arrived outside Deyang City after three days of exhaustion.

Looking at the city in front of him, a trace of joy flashed on Liu Chen's tired face, and then he opened his mouth and ordered:

"Order the army to enter the city to rest, eat and drink enough before hitting the road!"

Indeed, Liu Chen set out from Fangling, and now it has been ten days, and everyone is tired and tired, so he is a victorious army and needs some preferential treatment.

Hearing Liu Chen say this, the soldiers were all happy, and some soldiers even screamed and rejoiced, which shows the suffering along the way.

Deyang City is located in the middle of the two rivers in the plain, the land is fertile, the people have not been war-torn for a long time, stable and rich, so this place shows a different kind of prosperity.

Looking at the guards in the city, and then glimpsing the wine shops and shops in the city from outside the city, Liu Chen didn't find anything wrong, so he walked towards the city gate first.

But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, but to be specific, he couldn't be traced.

"Lord, I see that your brows are furrowed, but you are sick, why don't you find a place to rest after entering the city?"

Huang Chen's words disrupted Liu Chen's thoughts, and although he was still uncomfortable, he still led the soldiers into the city gate.

"Stop, if you want to enter the city, please show your official seal first!"

When the city guard saw Liu Chen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hand to stop him, shouting loudly.

At first, Liu Chen thought it was official and there was nothing wrong with it, so he planned to take out his seal.

But just as he was about to hand it over, a sudden voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Hey, why aren't there any people welcoming you today, it's so strange!"

It was Zhuge Jing who spoke, and I saw that he was looking around and muttering to the people who walked silently.

Rumble!

Liu Chen was shocked, he finally realized that something was wrong, and his outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Horn!"

Suddenly, Liu Chen felt a burst of strength in his hand, and when he looked again, he found that his seal ribbon had been snatched by the city guard.

"Bold, you dare to be rude to His Royal Highness the King of Qi today? How many lives do you have to dare to be so presumptuous! ”

It was Tang Xing who roared, since Liu Chen won the battle in Fangling, Tang Xing and his generals worshiped Liu Chen as a god, and now some people are disrespectful to Liu Chen, Tang Xing drew his sword and asked, and many soldiers were also angry and angry.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, you can make Shao wait for a long time!"

Suddenly, a gloomy voice came from the city, and Liu Chen looked up vigilantly, but what caught his eye was countless crossbow arrows.

All of them were crimson armor, holding light short crossbows, and the number of people was no less than five thousand, but they looked at Liu Chen and the others with an indifferent face, as if they were looking at a dead person.

Squeak squeak...

The city gate gradually closed, making a heavy sound, and Liu Chen's heart slowly hung up.

Although there were not many soldiers, they put a lot of pressure on Liu Chen, because from that soldier, he saw the shadow of the Blood Sea Sword Mountain, obviously, this was an army that was decisive in killing.

"The whole army is arrayed to protect the lord!"

Although Huang Chen didn't know the people in the city, he saw the hostility in his eyes, and knew that he was a friend or an enemy, so he hurriedly shouted.

Suddenly, countless soldiers automatically rushed forward and hugged Liu Chen in the middle, even blocking the top of his head with a shield.

Compared with the panic of the soldiers, although Liu Chen's heart was tight, he remained silent on the surface, looking at the city guards who snatched his seal ribbon in front of him, and looked at the city guards with interest on his face.

Liu Chen has a feeling that this person must not be an unknown person.

Liu Chen didn't pay attention to it before, this city guard has fair and delicate skin, a generous body, and at first glance he is a rich person, before Liu Chen thought it was the second ancestor of the local area, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

"The troops went out of Yong'an, single-handedly recovering the territory lost by Meng Da's treason, and even led only a few thousand soldiers and horses to reverse the situation in Hanzhong, haha, King Qi, so powerful!"

The unbridled smile made Liu Chen secretive, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:

"I don't know what this general is called, what are you waiting here?"

When the man heard this, he officially raised his head and glanced at Liu Chen, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes at this man with sword eyebrows and a majestic figure.

But then he was replaced with disdain, and he casually put the seal ribbon in his hand into his sleeve, and then said slowly:

"It's not that Ben is going to look for you, but he is looking for you, and Ben is just running errands!"

Following the finger of his fat hand, Liu Chen's eyes looked at Zhang Shao again, the man who had been watching all this calmly.

"This general is very familiar, and he hasn't asked for advice yet?"

Liu Chen tried his best to restrain his emotions, and he didn't want to offend people easily until he figured out the problem.

Because he knows that Cheng (Harmony) still has a prince to solve by himself, and if something goes wrong halfway, it will not be good.

Who knew that Zhang Shao didn't want to talk to Liu Chen at all, and said impatiently:

"Since you are Liu Chen, the king of Qi, let's go with a certain one!"

"Lord!"

Huang Chen grabbed him and was about to stop in front of him, but was blocked by Liu Chen, and then smiled with interest:

"It's really funny, in broad daylight, you actually want this king to go with you, what qualifications do you have?"

Speaking of the back, Liu Chen's gaze became more and more fierce, and his whole body also exuded a killing aura, which was breathtaking.

"Okay, good, worthy of being the king of Qi, this momentum alone makes a certain person a little scared, I don't know if this is qualified?"

Bang Bang Bang!

I saw him clapping his hand, and when Liu Chen was confused, there was a tremor on the ground, which made the five thousand tired soldiers suddenly frightened.

Liu Chen also knows that this is the sound of something on a large scale approaching, and in this era, the most likely thing is the army.

Sure enough, when Liu Chen looked back, he found that there was a thick layer of dust stirred up on all sides, and in it, he could vaguely glimpse countless heads flashing, as if a divine soldier was coming from the east.

Wow!

To the surprise of the soldiers, including Liu Chen, there were many tall shadows in the smoke and dust, about a zhang high, which was very shocking.

When the surrounding army surrounded Liu Chen's 5,000 soldiers and horses at the west gate of Deyang, they stopped neatly.

Before, Liu Chen still thought that if the situation was not right, he would immediately move eastward, and the tiger had 5,000 soldiers and horses in Yong'an, which could give him some help.

But now that all sides are sealed, Liu Chen felt the aura of conspiracy in it, but he didn't panic, and shouted loudly to silence the somewhat panicked soldiers.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, Liu Chen's pupils shrank, because in the army around them, there were countless elephant soldiers, and a rough count showed that there were no less than fifty.

Moreover, the horizontal spread in the wilderness, with boundless heads, let Liu Chen know that the number of this army is no less than 20,000!

"Lord, you can't wait any longer, rush out!"

At this time, Huang Chen was anxious, obviously the other party was menacing, and he was not a friend or foe, and Huang Chen was no longer indifferent before.

Liu Chen calmly patted his shoulder, then turned to look at the person dressed as a city guard, and said:

"Southern Barbarian Elephant Soldier, you are a person from Nanzhong, why hasn't this king heard of it?"

The man smiled heartily, took off the helmet on his head, and revealed his whole face, with small eyes and a high nose on his fat face, and the most conspicuous thing was the green crown on his head, which was a little dazzling under the white sun.

Ordinary people are crowned with wooden crowns, and some dignitaries will also use precious wooden crowns, only the emperor Liu Chan is a golden crown.

But using jade as a crown, Liu Chen saw it for the first time, and the jade crown was crystal clear, like a drop of jade, which was actually the emperor's glass species in jadeite.

In this way, Liu Chen knew that this person was a dignitary in Nanzhong and had contacts with the Shan Kingdom (present-day Burma).

"Lieutenant Colonel Lu Xiang of the South, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi!"

The man leaned over slightly, but what he said was quite arrogant, but Liu Chen heard it in a fog.

Indeed, he really couldn't understand that he was just a lieutenant, but he dared to be so arrogant, but he didn't know it.

"Your Majesty, this Lu Xiang's father is Yongchang Taishou Lu Kai, who was rewarded after Prime Minister Zhuge pacified the Meng Shu Rebellion, and was in charge ......of the soldiers and horses of the four counties of Nanzhong."

Ning Suijiu was by Jiang Wei's side, and his knowledge was extraordinary, and when he saw that Liu Chen didn't react, he quietly came behind Liu Chen and said.

"What, now that Qi Wang is willing to go with so-and-so, my patience is limited!"

Without waiting for Liu Chen to speak, he continued:

"If His Royal Highness the King of Qi refuses to give in, then His Highness will stay with these soldiers!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Jing Huangde was furious, and he was about to carry a weapon to kill, but fortunately he was stopped by the people next to him.

Liu Chen saw that all these preparations must be the killer plan prepared by his eldest brother, the prince of Shu Han, to deal with him, and he was very well prepared.

Looking around, he paused for a long time on the dozens of elephant soldiers, and then turned his eyes on the five thousand soldiers in front of him.

Seeing Liu Chen's gaze, all the soldiers worked hard to straighten their chests, and their eyes were full of resolute gaze.

"The king orders, you take us out!"

"Yes, kill ......"

"Spelled ......"

Click......

At this moment, there was a sound from the army on the periphery, but it was extremely harsh, Liu Chen was very familiar with this sound, this sound he had heard in Nanzheng Pass, that was the sound of the bed crossbow.

Liu Chen still had a trace of confidence before, although he couldn't beat thousands of crossbowmen in the city, it was still no problem to escape, but now he knew, even if he had soldiers fighting to the death, he would not be able to escape!

"Lord ......"

Huang Chen's gaze had already told Liu Chen what he thought, but Liu Chen still didn't let him speak, but said:

"Forget it, disarm, the soldiers are all bloody battles on the battlefield, but it is not cost-effective to fall here!"

"Lord, don't ......"

But Liu Chen didn't listen, drove the horse back, raised the reins and said:

"You are all national heroes, and they are also the king's soldiers, and they are soldiers, so you must know how to listen to orders, and now this king has given an order, and the whole army will put down their weapons!"

As soon as Liu Chen's words came out, the soldiers suddenly exploded, shouting at the top of their throats, and they all wanted to ask for their lives to fight.

When Zhang Shao in the city saw this scene, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes, but Liu Chen had only been in the army for less than three months, and he actually asked everyone to work for him, which shows the high level of his means.

This son is really the prince's henchman, and he has to get rid of it!

And that Lu Xiang looked impatient, originally he thought that there was a battle to fight, but it turned out like this, he couldn't help but scold Liu Chen in his heart, his eyes were full of contempt.

However, Liu Chen ignored it, looked up at Zhang Shao, and said flatly:

"This is a matter between the brothers of this king, why should so many innocent people be involved, okay, this king will go with you."

"The King's ......"

Seeing everyone's shouting, Liu Chen couldn't bear it, but he still forced himself to turn around and say coldly:

"If the soldiers still regard this king as your commander, then listen to the king's orders and put down their weapons!"

Then, in Zhuge Jing's anger, Huang Chen's worry, and countless worried eyes, Liu Chen walked towards the city gate.

At this time, Zhang Shao had also gone down to the city, but the thousands of crossbowmen had not moved.

"Your Highness, please hand over your weapons!"

Liu Chen handed out the saber he was carrying, and then said indifferently:

"I hope you will remember your words, and don't embarrass these meritorious people!"

Zhang Shao smiled indifferently, although Liu Chen was angry, he couldn't, so he had to say in a deep voice:

"If you want this king to be caught, if you don't show some sincerity, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, if this king doesn't want to, it's a matter of words."

At this time, Zhang Shaocai glanced at Liu Chen and nodded solemnly.

"Let's go, it's really troublesome, I haven't fought yet, it's a pity, His Royal Highness King Qi's bravery, I'm looking forward to it!"

Lu Xiang said coldly, didn't look at the 20,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to the horse and left.

With Zhang Shao's signal, Liu Chen also silently walked into the prepared car and left.

Through the gap in the curtain, Liu Chen saw the figure of Huang Chen and the others, they still looked like this, but they followed Liu Chen's order and did not move.

"I really can't imagine that this Liu Xuan can still invite Lu Xiang, I'm afraid he wants to lure the wolf into the room, but I don't know, what is he going to do with this king?"

But in Chengdu (Harmony) City, Liu Xuan was dressed in bright armor, standing on the high platform of the martial arts arena, and in front of him were his five thousand dark soldiers.

"Soldiers, Liu Chan is mediocre, spoiling the eunuch Huang Hao and messing with the country, and now he has to change his grandson, he has gone crazy, and now he has decided to save the ......country by force."
