Chapter 57: Princess Jiuyang

Several soldiers stepped forward, dragged and helped, and forcibly put Liu Xu on the horse.

"General, the old man still has a few words to say, let's not rush ...... first" Liu Xu shouted anxiously.

Xu Han interrupted and said with a smile: "The coming day is long, after returning to Qianyang, let's talk slowly." ”

As soon as he made a look, Cheng Ping scolded a group of soldiers to take Liu Xu away.

If you want Liu Xu to be obedient, you can't just say a few words, but Xu Han doesn't have much time to talk to him at the moment, just call him thirty-seven twenty-one, and "kidnap" back to the nest first.

Abducted Liu Xu, as well as the bearded ginger, Xu Han urged the troops to hurry and continued to advance towards Kaifeng.

Not long after, Xu Han led his Shenxing cavalry and finally arrived in Kaifeng.

At this time, Kaifeng City had already become a pot of porridge, and the bad news of the failure of Shanchun City, as well as the order of Deng Yinshuo, the king of Xuan Kingdom, to move the capital to Guanzhong, caused the imperial city to fall into an incomparable panic.

The army had long since withdrawn, Kaifeng had become an undefended city, and Xu Han's army entered the city through the south gate with little resistance.

As far as the eye can see, the streets and alleys are full of people fleeing, and everyone is in a state of extreme fear.

Xu Han originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture some of Deng Yinshuo's civil and military talents, but this chaotic situation made him unable to distinguish who was who.

In desperation, Xu Han had no choice but to give up the primary purpose, and instead ordered Cheng Ping to lead the army to Kufu to carry the money from the treasury, and at the same time ordered the infantry led by Tang Mo to speed up the march and rush to Kaifeng as soon as possible to assist in the transportation.

While capturing money, Xu Han led the army straight to Deng Yinshuo's palace.

As far as Xu Han is concerned, as soon as Kaifeng is broken, Li Zhenwei will become his biggest enemy, and as for Deng Yinshuo, if he can gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, he may be able to form an ally with him in the future and fight against the country together.

If Xu Han can capture Deng Yinshuo's princes, he will have an extra bargaining chip to restrain Deng Yinshuo, whether Deng Yinshuo is willing to join forces with him or not, he will be afraid of himself.

Riding a horse galloped until he reached the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the field of vision, Emperor Deng's palace was already in flames, and there were hundreds of people fighting inside and outside the gate.

Xu Han glanced at it, but saw that among the two sides of the war, one side was a soldier of Xuan, and the other side was an armed civilian dressed as an ordinary servant.

"These traitors."

Xu Han was disdainful, and immediately waved his sword and led his troops into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It doesn't matter if you are a Xuan army or a strong man, those who stand in my way will be killed.

Three hundred black-clad riders crashed into the war group like black iron recklessly, killing straight from behind the gate to the backyard, leaving no life in the place they passed, and killing two groups of warring men and horses and ghosts crying wolves.

Xu Han's disturbance made both warring sides dumbfounded.

The Xuan army thought that the rescuers were coming, but before they could be happy, the cavalry's broadswords roared down, and the heads rolled to the ground.

And those heroes mistakenly thought that this army was an accomplice of the rebels, who thought that the blade of the other party beckoned to them in a blink of an eye.

Blood splattered, severed limbs flew sideways, and a large prime minister's mansion flowed into a river of blood in a short time.

It's just that after killing all the way, all I saw was the confrontation of the subordinates, and I didn't see any decent people.

"It seems that Emperor Deng reacted very quickly, and he had already picked up the people in the palace, so there is no need to waste any more time here."

Xu Han wanted to collect his troops and go elsewhere, not wanting to entangle with a group of rabble here.

The killing intent was reined in, and Xu Han led the army to kill through the back door.

There was still a battle outside the back door, but the scuffle here aroused Xu Han's interest.

There was a carriage parked near the left of the back door, surrounded by dozens of heroes, and the remaining few sergeants and soldiers were desperately protecting the carriage, as if there were some important people on the carriage.

This is very close to the deep palace, and there are many imperial relatives of Emperor Deng, perhaps one of them was late to evacuate and was intercepted by the rebels here.

Thinking of this, Xu Han immediately became excited again.

Just as he was thinking, the few remaining Xuan soldiers by the side of the carriage were outnumbered and had been surrounded and killed by the rebels, and dozens of rebels rushed to the carriage in a swarm.

It's just that they didn't know that in this chaotic Kaifeng City, Xu Han, a third force, would suddenly appear.

"Humph!"

Xu Han shouted violently, and the four hooves of the black horse under his crotch flew over, and one person and one rider shot out like lightning.

It was as fast as the wind, so fast that the rebels didn't have time to react.

But seeing the black light flashing in front of him, the head of a rebel who had just boarded the carriage flew into the air, and at the broken neck, blood sprayed into the air like a spring, and the headless body shook a few times and fell from under the carriage.

The rebels were taken aback, and when they looked up, they saw a black-armored knight, towering like an iron tower.

Xu Han's eyes despised all enemies, like ants, and said coldly: "How can you be touched, if you don't want to die, get out of here." ”

The rebels were intimidated by Xu Han's momentum, and they were all stunned and did not dare to move for a while.

"Where did the dog thief come from, dare to grab credit from the masters, the big guy rushed up and chopped this guy into meat puree!"

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and the rebels woke up like a dream, and mustered up the courage to shout and kill.

The disciples of the local chickens and dogs really did not hesitate to spare their lives.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Han's mouth, murderous aura burst out in his blade-like eyes, and the long knife swayed out in all directions like a smile of death.

In an instant, more than a dozen rebels were chopped like tofu, and the rest of the people were frightened to the core, as if they had seen the devil.

At this time, the cavalry of the Divine Cavalry arrived, and crushed the rebels like wolves and tigers.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy near the carriage was swept away.

Xu Han, who was so addicted to killing, jumped into the carriage, swept the long knife, and cut off the curtain of the carriage.

"Ahh

A woman's scream erupted from inside the carriage.

Xu Han stared at it, but saw that there were two women in the car hugging each other tightly, and the screaming one was dressed like a palace maid, and at this moment he was so frightened that his face was gloomy and tearful.

Another woman dressed in fine clothes and with a beautiful face was much calmer, like a lady who had seen the world, but her face was pale and her breath was tight, as if she was sick.

"Who are you?" Xu Han asked loudly.

His voice was cold, and he only frightened the palace maid into trembling, crying and crying and not daring to answer.

The woman in the fancy dress took a deep breath, her face was calm, and she said her name lightly.

"I am Deng Huiqing, the princess of Jiuyang of Xuanguo."

Deng Huiqing? Deng Yinshuo's third daughter?

Xu Han searched for the information in his mind, and his eyes lit up.

"Who are you? Is it a subordinate general of the Yi country, or a rebel general of whose family? ”

Princess Jiuyang asked calmly, with a look of fear in her expression, worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Xu Han stood with his knife in his hands, and the corners of his mouth were slanted.

"Ben will Xu Han!"

Hearing the word "Xu Han", Princess Jiuyang was originally calm and pretty, and immediately swelled with a hint of surprise.

"You-you're Xu Han? Aren't you in the sun, how can you ......?"

Princess Jiuyang's tone trembled, with such a surprised expression, she couldn't believe that at such a special moment, Xu Han would appear in Kaifeng City.

Xu Han smiled slightly: "Xuan Guo has repeatedly sent troops to attack Xu, Xu wanted to exchange courtesies this time, and came to visit him in person, but I didn't expect him to slip away." ”

Hearing that there was a bit of irony in Xu Han's tone, Princess Jiuyang suddenly became angry, and said angrily: "Bold, Hugh-"

But before this angry word could be spoken, her eyes suddenly dizzy, her body was unstable on her feet, and she staggered and fell softly.

Seeing her soften, Xu Han didn't have time to think about it, and stretched out his hand to hold her in the crook of his arm.

The moment the soft body, weak and boneless, fell into his arms, he couldn't help but make Xu Han's heart move slightly.

Princess Jiuyang was dizzy for a moment, and reluctantly opened her eyes, but was shocked to see that she was lying in Xu Han's arms, and her pretty face couldn't help but swell with shame and anger.

"Thief, how dare you be lighter than this princess, don't let me go quickly!" Princess Jiuyang's blood was agitated, and when she drank like this, her breath was not smooth, but she didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Xu Han ignored her, looked at her face carefully, and really looked sick, so instead of letting go, he hugged her tighter.

"I see that you are sick, so save your strength, rest assured, Ben will bring you back to Qianyang, and ask a famous doctor to treat you."

Although Princess Jiuyang is a woman, she is the princess of Xuanguo, which is better than nothing, and Xu Hanzi wants to bring her back to Qianyang.

Princess Jiuyang was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Who wants to go to Qianyang with you, let it go-"

She was so anxious, she was so angry and bloody, she suddenly felt dizzy, and fainted on the spot.

Xu Han was startled, and hurriedly tried her snort pulse, and realized that she was only relieved when she fainted out of breath.

He asked the palace maid what was going on, only to learn that it was Princess Jiuyang who was sick and had no time to evacuate with the team, and wanted to leave later, but who wanted to encounter rebellions in the city, and wanted to leave.

Xu Han nodded slightly, and then comforted the palace maid a few words, telling her not to be afraid, just take good care of her princess.

Then Xu Han ordered his subordinates to escort Princess Jiuyang out of the city and send her to Qianyang in the starry night with Liu Xu and Hu Jiang.

When Princess Jiuyang was sent out of the city, the infantry led by Tang Mo had also arrived, and the imperial treasury in Kaifeng was opened by Xu Han, and boxes of money were loaded into trucks and sent south to Qianyang.

In the troubled times, recruiting troops and horses depends on money, and the seven counties of Qianyang where Xu Han is based have limited taxes, and this time he made a windfall, which was enough for him to "squander" for a while.

After a day of captivity, I didn't realize that it was almost dusk, and the scouts from the north came to report that the army of Yi had left the seal for more than ten miles.

Xu Han has nominally not publicly torn his face with Li Zhenwei, this time of course he is also willing to fight with Xuanguo, and when he heard that the Yi army was approaching, Xu Han ordered the soldiers and horses to withdraw from Kaifeng and return to Qianyang by the same route.

Xu Han asked Cheng Ping to lead a thousand soldiers and horses, escorting Princess Jiuyang, Liu Xu, and more than 100 carts of money to go first, while he himself led the Shenxing Cavalry, and the 2,000 infantry army led by Tang Mo to break the formation.

The two roads of soldiers and horses went out of the city one after another, and before sunset they had left the seal twenty miles away.

"This time I made a lot of money, and I captured a talent like Liu Xu, this trip to Kaifeng was not in vain, but it seems that it takes some brain cells to persuade Liu Xu, an old slippery head, to ......

When Xu Han turned his horse and walked slowly, he was already thinking about the next step in his mind.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, but it was Tang Mo galloping from behind.

"General, the scouts have reported that an army of Yi is heading south from Kaifeng, and it seems that it is chasing our army." Tang Mo gasped.

Xu Han frowned slightly, and asked, "How many Yi troops are there, and who are the enemy generals?" ”

Tang Mo said: "The enemy army has about 5,000 cavalry, and it seems that it is under the banner of Li Li, the prince of Yiguo. ”

Hearing Li Li's name, Xu Han suddenly lost his pressure.

Although this person is the prince of Yiguo, his ability to command troops can only be regarded as a third-rate level, and now he is leading the army alone, Xu Hanyan is afraid.

Xu Han's betrayal must have made Emperor Li very angry, and this Li Li came after him this time, he must have wanted to get rid of him in order to ask for credit in front of his father.

"Ben Jiang didn't want to have a conflict with Li Zhenwei, but his son is so uninteresting, then don't blame Ben Jiang."

Xu Leng snorted, looked around the terrain on the left and right, and even had a plan.
