The Han people love peace and are not a brave and ruthless nation, and this Han cavalry is not a murderous person, and the reason why the young soldiers are reluctant to chase after the combined forces of Guishan and Murza is because of the order Liu Xin just gave - kill them all!

Seeing this situation, Liu Xin suddenly woke up to the fact that now was not the time to continue the pursuit, but to enter the city to understand the situation, so he hurriedly ordered the horn to be sounded. The use of gongs and drums in cavalry combat is far less convenient than that of horns, and the different horn sounds of the Han cavalry can represent different meanings, not only for attacking, and now this horn sound conveys the order to stop the pursuit.

Long before the allocation of troops, the military regulations that were forbidden by order were deeply ingrained in the marrow of every Han army recruit and would accompany them every day in the army. Hearing the sound of the horn to stop the pursuit, the Han cavalry, who was still desperately slashing the enemy just now, immediately reined in their horses and began to gather under the city of Beitian.

Liu Xin asked Sun Ce to lead the troops to pick up Liya, Clea and others, and at the same time, he beat his horse and whipped his horse, came to the city of Khotan, and shouted at the city: "The siege of Khotanese has been lifted, please come out and see Queen Kangju!" ”

The guards behind him were about to translate these words, but Liu Xin raised his hand to stop them. Black Whirlwind speaks fluent Chinese, and if she was in the city, she would definitely be able to understand it, so why should anyone else be this setter?

There was silence at the head of the city. In fact, the cavalry of the Han army scattered the army besieging the city, and the people at the city head could see it clearly, and at least they should open the city gate to show welcome, but the city did not react at all. Liu Xin was anxious and repeated the words again.

A figure in a black suit finally appeared on the head of the city, holding the battlements in his hand, and said loudly to the city: "Are you waiting for the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Liu Xin raised his eyes and saw that the man's head was wrapped in a black scarf, covered with a black veil, and he vaguely looked like a black whirlwind, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said: "My Emperor of the Han Dynasty is driving a personal expedition, and the enemy army is fleeing from the wind, please open the city gate quickly, and he will talk about it in detail later." ”

The messenger who came to Khotanese City a few days ago to contact Queen Kangju was sent by Jia Xu, and Jia Xu had a lot of thoughts, only saying that the reinforcements had set off, and did not say the news of Liu Xin's personal expedition.

And because of Serica's matter, Liu Xin also concealed his identity. He felt that if the person who answered from the city was the Black Whirlwind, he would definitely be able to recognize himself, and his identity would be the same whether he was bright or not. If that person isn't a black whirlwind, it's better to keep it a secret for the time being.

Liu Xin ignored a problem, his eyes could see in the dark, but the black whirlwind couldn't. A year ago in Shanshan Palace, the black whirlwind retreated immediately after missing a blow, and did not see Liu Xin's face clearly. As for the time in the cave, she couldn't see it clearly, and now she naturally couldn't recognize who this person in the city was.

However, hearing the news of Liu Xin's personal expedition, the body of the man in black still trembled obviously, and only after a while did he say: "Let your Emperor Majesty enter the city alone!" ”

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment and said: "We came from afar, we are friends and not enemies, is this your hospitality?" ”

The man in black suddenly said: "I have long heard that your Emperor His Majesty has outstanding martial arts, do you regard Khotanese City as a tiger's den in Longtan and dare not break into it alone?" ”

Liu Xin is indeed a little hesitant, he no longer belongs to himself now, so naturally he can't do risky things as often as before.

However, if he didn't go into the city to find out about the Black Whirlwind, he wouldn't be able to feel at ease in his life. This is not just because he and the Black Whirlwind had a spring breeze for a while, but the Black Whirlwind kept his promise and disbanded the bandits, and the Western Regions only had today's peace.

Liu Xin turned his head and glanced at the soldiers behind him who had just fought bloodily, and suddenly had confidence in his heart. Even if the person at the head of the city was not a black whirlwind, even if someone had bad intentions, the combat effectiveness shown by the Han army under the city just now was enough to deter them.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin suddenly raised his head and said, "Open the city gate!" Let me in! ”

The man in black said coldly, "What I want to see is your emperor!" ”

Liu Xin laughed and said, "I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" ”

If it is not the emperor, and dare to call himself me, it is a great crime to punish the nine clans. The man in black looked at Liu Xin in disbelief, and suddenly said, "You climb up!" ”

Liu Xin looked up at the city wall of Khotan, which was less than four feet high. For Liu Xin, who is used to seeing strong cities like Xiangyang and Chang'an, it is really nothing. But now it's not rock climbing, if Liu Xin climbs halfway, the city throws stones or shoots crossbow arrows, it will be dangerous.

Just as he was hesitating, a long rope hung down from the head of the city and fell in front of Liu Xin. Liu Xin didn't hesitate any longer, grabbed the rope, kicked the city wall with both feet, and almost "flew" against the city wall. Sun Ce was not there, and the other guards didn't dare to stop him, and watched Liu Xin crawl towards the city alone.

Liu Xin climbed his belly quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was only half a person tall from the city. Suddenly, Liu Xin used his feet hard, volleyed in the air, threw off the rope, and stood firmly behind the man in black, with one hand on the neck of the man in black, and he didn't know when there was a bright flying knife in his hand.

The man in black slowly turned around, and his dark and bright eyes gradually moistened. The two of them said almost in unison: "It's really you!" ”

Liu Xin couldn't wait to take the black whirlwind into his arms, but tens of thousands of pairs of eyes in the city and under the city watched, and he had to resist the impulse, and with a flip of his palm, the flying knife had already disappeared, and Zhengse said: "Now you can take me to see your queen." ”

Black Whirlwind's eyes quickly regained their composure, and said lightly, "I am Queen Kangju." ”

In fact, Liu Xin had long guessed that Black Whirlwind and Queen Kangju were the same person, but he had always refused to admit this fact. Hearing the black whirlwind say this sentence in person, Liu Xin couldn't control it anymore, grabbed her shoulders, shook it vigorously, and said loudly: "I wanted to take you back at the beginning, but you refused, why do you want to marry King Kangju now, can I not give you what King Kangju can give you?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words!" Black Whirlwind sighed softly, gently pushed Liu Xin's hand away, pointed to the city and said, "It's better to settle your people first." ”

Being able to become the leader of a powerful horse thief across the Western Regions, Black Whirlwind has long developed a calm personality. Although she learned that Liu Xin personally led the troops to rescue her, and was willing to take risks and enter the city alone, her heart was also extremely excited, but she was able to put aside her children's personal feelings first.

Liu Xin was reminded by her, and also calmed down, turned around to look at the city, and suddenly his heart jumped, and he had a faint sense of ominousness. The cavalry of the Han army lined up under the city of Khotan, and the army was neat, but Sun Ce could not be seen.

As soon as the battle ended, Sun Ce was ordered by Liu Xin to pick up Liya and Clea sisters, and it stands to reason that they should have arrived a long time ago. But now not only did they not see them, but there was also no smoke and dust in the distance from the galloping of the cavalry, which at least indicated that they had not yet begun to return.

Liu Xin's face became solemn and said, "You wait first, I will pick up a few people." ”

Not only does Liu Xin have a lot of things to ask Black Whirlwind, but Black Whirlwind also has a lot of things to say to Liu Xin. Hearing that Liu Xin was going to pick up someone, she hadn't reacted yet, Liu Xin had already grabbed the rope, and a few ups and downs went to the city. When the big white horse saw its master, he ran over. Liu Xin jumped up, pulled the reins, and ran towards the way he came. When he passed his own soldiers, he paused slightly and shouted: "Come with me!" ”

In a hurry, Liu Xin even used the more accustomed word "I" for self-proclaim.

Although these young soldiers have not been in the army for a long time, they have grown up rapidly after several tests of blood and fire. With Liu Xin's order, more than 10,000 people turned around almost at the same time, and rushed behind Liu Xin.

Ten miles east of the city of Khotan, a fierce battle is unfolding, and that is where Liu Xin left the sisters Liya and Clea behind.

After the great battle on the border, they didn't encounter a single enemy along the way, so Liu Xin didn't feel that there would be any danger in leaving them here, but symbolically sent a team of 100 people as their escort.

However, just after Liu Xin and the others reached the city of Khotan, the combined forces of Murza and Kushan who were besieging the city quickly dispersed. This is the land of Kangju, Murza is very familiar with his surroundings, and he still has an elite army on the eastern border. Although the Han army rushed from that direction, Murza did not believe that his most elite cavalry would be defeated by the Han army in such a short time, and the only explanation was that the two sides did not meet. Murza quickly made the choice of leading the defeated army eastward rather than fleeing to the western steppes he controlled.

Murza led the defeated army a short distance before he ran into the sisters Lia and Cleya, who were anxiously awaiting the results of the battle. At first glance, seeing a large number of enemy troops killed, Liya and the others could not judge the situation ahead, but the remaining Han troops were very loyal to their duties, and immediately ordered the soldiers to escort Liya and others to retreat eastward.

In the midst of this great nervousness, Clea suddenly rushed out on her own, brandishing a saber she had picked up from the battlefield.

Cleya used to be a gladiator, and her life did not belong to her, but to the Great Qin nobles who loved to watch bloody performances. Now, she has been pardoned by Liu Xin and is no longer a gladiator, but deep down in her heart, her life still does not belong to herself, but to her new master, Liu Xin.

Liu Xin had just led his troops to the west, but at this time, the enemy had come from the west. Although Cleya has learned many methods of killing, she has not really been on the battlefield, so naturally she can't see that these people on the other side are just a group of defeated soldiers. only thought that Liu Xin's war was unfavorable, and suddenly he desperately wanted to fight for Liu Xin's life.

The two sisters almost killed each other in the Colosseum, and now that they can finally be together every day, how can Maria let her sister face thousands of troops alone? She didn't think about it, and rushed out. Liya and Sister Cleya have a very good relationship, and when they saw this scene, they refused to flee alone, and actually turned their horses' heads.

If the three of them fail, the cavalry guarding them will not escape the punishment of military law. Rather than this, it was better to die a vigorous death, and a hundred young soldiers turned their horses back almost simultaneously and charged towards the enemy.
