How does an emperor generally have to retire? There seem to be only two possibilities!

One is death, that is, death, before the designated or other heirs can inherit the throne; The other is more miserable, mainly deposed or usurped, and the emperor's fate is generally very miserable, either under house arrest or killed.

Liu Xie is thirteen years old this year, and his precocious mental age is no different from that of men around 20 years old in later generations.

He was able to take responsibility for his own choice, and giving such a reply was also arrived at after some careful consideration. If you really want to say something, it's probably - unconvinced!

Why, the butcher's brother, who is silent, and is not liked by his father, can become the emperor instead of him?

Why can't he become an emperor when he was born in a family, is talented, and is deeply loved by his father?

That's what you think, right? After all, what Liu Hong has shown since he was a child is his dislike for Liu Wei and his love for him. Many people say that his mother was poisoned by He Hou and how much he was pampered during his lifetime. He also once told him how noble his blood was, and only he was the first choice to inherit the throne.

Therefore, he continued to practice literature and martial arts, intending to become a so-called 'master of Zhongxing'. However, when Liu Hong died, he was not the emperor, but his wooden brother, who did not learn and did not know how to do it!

Rumors began to circulate again, which was the result of He Hou colluding with the Ten Standing Servants to tamper with the edict, and he believed it! So when Dong Zhuo let him take the throne, he really didn't have any psychological pressure at all!

Who knows, after a series of upheavals, this emperor does not seem to be recognized by the princes of the world. When the emperor did this, he was simply sorry for the ancestors of the Han Dynasty.

But to make him abdicate, that can't be! He knew in his heart that once he abdicated, even if he could reach Jinyang alive, he would inevitably be placed under house arrest, and then 'die violently' on a dark and windy night.

The abdication is just to make the process more merciful and not to let Liu Wei bear the infamy of 'killing his brother'. One way or another. He is an emperor, even if he is not recognized, no emperor will allow such an existence to live.

Especially, if it is still the same dynasty.

Since both horizontal and vertical are one death. Then it's better to fight, even if it is death, you have to leave an infamy for the royal brother! This is nothing irrational or irrational, and when it comes to this, he Liu Xie doesn't care so much anymore, anyway, he is just a thirteen-year-old child. It's normal to have a little kid's temper!

I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! That's his determination and attitude!

Rather than die in a corner with grievances, it is better to burn the jade!

"Ready, let's send him on his way!" Xu Huang sighed and said to Ma Chao.

"Well, I'll go down and make arrangements!" Ma Chao nodded and left the account with Ma Dai.

That night, all the soldiers had a good meal, and as long as the old soldiers knew that the war would start tomorrow. This meal. Maybe it was the last meal they had ever eaten in their lives, so they all ate very seriously.

When I go to bed at night, even if I can't sleep anymore, I have to force myself to sleep. The next day you have to fight, and if you are not in good spirits, the mortality rate will be very high! And many old pawns are sleeping soundly, and they seem to have long been accustomed to such scenes.

This night is also the last time that Ma Chao and Xu Huang gave Liu Xie, so that they can enjoy the time when they finally became emperors.

Meantime. also sent scouts to scout the surrounding hundreds of miles. On the one hand, it is to ensure that no reinforcements arrive, and on the other hand, to ensure that Liu Xie will not use the secret passage in the palace to escape from Chang'an City.

You know, when it was the beginning of Luoyang. The Ten Standing Servants took the two princes to leave from the secret passage, so that they could go to Beibi Mountain. This Chang'an City is also the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, how can there be no secret passage or something?

The focus is on those mountains and forests, or some dry wells in some villages outside Chang'an City, and the exits of secret passages are often in such places for some reason. Of course, it is also possible that it is in Chang'an City, as long as it does not go out of the city. Then it's not hard to search.

After a night, a similar secret passage entrance was indeed found in the surrounding dry wells, but it did not lead to Chang'an City, but the mansion of a large family around it. That mansion, I don't know if it was patronized by Lu Bu or Dong Zhuo, and it was empty.

However, a large number of gold and silver jewels were unearthed inside, which was also an unexpected joy.

In the early morning, when the sun is slowly rising, a large number of catapults have begun to be erected. These heavy catapults have the shadow of the Xiangyang cannon, which is strictly designed according to the Xiangyang cannon. The performance of this catapult has even surpassed the Xiangyang cannon, after all, there is no standardization and the addition of gears, making its structure absolutely the most advanced level in the world.

The 500-pound stone bullet was lifted out by a special instrument and then fed into the stone-throwing bag. Xu Le began to adjust the parameters, and determined the angle of projection according to some ballistic knowledge he had summarized.

There is no need to aim at the city gate, there is an urn city in ancient Chang'an City, even if the city gate is opened, it is useless, and there is an inner gate inside. So the best option is to aim at a certain part of the wall and smash it down! As for the future, it will be reinforced with cement concrete, and the defense will be better than now!

"Ready to attack!" Xu Le came to Xu Huang and saluted.

"Shoot!" Xu Huang nodded back.

I am actually very satisfied with this nephew. Being able to graduate from a military academy at a young age, and having an excellent talent for operating siege equipment, especially trebuchets, this kind of person is rare under Fang Yun's command, and his achievements in the future will definitely not be low.

"Shoot!" Xu Le gave an order, and all the soldiers who operated the trebuchet pulled down the machine one after another.

More than thirty heavy trebuchets quickly threw stone projectiles and smashed them directly at the side of the city wall. Xu Le's calculations are very accurate, and the third is that multiple trebuchets placed at different angles can accurately throw stone projectiles into a range.

The force of the impact caused the walls to shake, and even some stone bricks had been knocked off by stone bullets, and this was only the first round of shooting. It was only a matter of time before the walls collapsed.

Sure enough, with the second round of throwing, more wall tiles began to fall, revealing the triple soil inside. Chang'an City is okay, and a number of wall bricks have been built on both sides inside and outside to reinforce. If it is in the place, it is directly built with wooden planks layer by layer, and the triple clay is burned and condensed, and it is not worth talking about any defense at all.

By the third round of throwing, the exterior of Chang'an City had completely collapsed, creating a gap of seven or eight meters wide.

"The pontoon bridge has begun!" Unlike other cities, there is a moat about seven meters wide on the outside of Chang'an City. So if you want to attack this city, you can't do it without a pontoon bridge.

Simply attacking from the main gate, then the opponent only needs to use hundreds of people to rotate, and it can almost block thousands of troops. The main reason for the failure of many battles against Chang'an in the history of the Three Kingdoms is this.

The pontoon bridge troops had already been prepared, and with Xu Huang's order, they began to quickly build the pontoon bridge.

At this time, on the side of the city wall, there were also some arrows scattered and began to shoot out, not to mention whether they could cause damage, considering that a section of the city wall had collapsed, so the soldiers on the city wall were afraid that there would not be much.

The first section of the pontoon bridge was completed, and the second section was erected, and as it was closer to the city wall, five soldiers with huge shields were sent to support, mainly to set up troops to defend against bows and arrows.

In a short time, the second section of the pontoon bridge was assumed, and the third section was finally reached. The giant shield soldiers began to move forward, and at this time there were not only more arrows, but also more powerful, and each arrow was likely to kill the soldiers who set up the troops, or even them, so be careful!

Finally, the last paragraph was assumed, and with the return of the erection troops, the fourth round of throwing began. Before, Xu Le adjusted the parameters again, divided the trebuchets into two batches, and aimed at the city walls on both sides.

Under the bombardment, the city walls on both sides also collapsed, and the original gap expanded to about ten meters.

"Charge!" There is no need to think about siege warfare anymore, the rest only needs to be considered street battles, and that's it!

The army rushed up the pontoon bridge at one time, and then came under the city walls. Before the defenders of Chang'an City could be stationed, they had already been torn open by Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who were the first to kill.

With the complete advance of the army, everything began to enter the final stage.

The battle lasted until the night, when the last soldier was cleared and the army broke into the palace, only to learn that Liu Xie had hanged himself one step earlier. Looking at the white silk on the neck of this puppet emperor, Xu Huang and the others were also embarrassed.

It's good, no matter what, it also saves them from doing it......

At this point, Yongzhou's strategy was almost completed, Ma Chao was automatically promoted to the general of Zhenxi, and Ma Dai also took over the position of the former general and was responsible for guarding the Yongzhou region.

Fang Yun, who was in Jinyang, naturally received a prompt from the system for the first time: "The main quest - the orthodox completion of the Han Dynasty, the completion rate is 0%, and there is no reward." Complete the extra quest - kill Liu Xie, gain +10 points for all attributes, and get 2 gold draws. ”

Obviously, this sortie did not accomplish the expected goal, and Han Sui obviously fled spinelessly.

Fortunately, I completed the extra tasks, +10 points for all attributes, and got two chances to win the gold draw!

But I don't want to, the army has not come back yet, with the end of the battle of Chang'an City, and the news of Liu Xie's hanging, the princes of the world are terrified. Looking back suddenly, Fang Yun had already occupied the land of Hebei and Guanzhong, and the most important thing was that Xuzhou also had his people.

I can't say it, Qingzhou and Xuzhou will also be taken by him in the future, so won't he occupy half of the country?

In order to contain the increasingly powerful Fang Yun, and also out of fear of Fang Yun, all the princes formed an alliance from Liu Yan of Bashu, to Liu Miao of Yangzhou and Shixie of Jiaozhou, which is known as 'Lianheng at the end of the Han Dynasty'.

Xuzhou and Qingzhou are on Fang Yun's side, because they are an alliance from north to south, so they are called 'the end of the Han Dynasty'.

Almost in the case of him being caught off guard, the first plea began! (To be continued.) )

PS: Since you have done it, then you have to bear the consequences.

Whether it is history or games, when a certain force develops to a certain extent, it will trigger a group attack effect.
