Chapter 308: Cherish Your Own Life
"Knock knock!"
Outside Yangxia City, Hu Zhen and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses finally arrived.
Although Lu Bu was the rear army, after knowing that Hua Xiong's army was defeated, he did not dare to continue to delay in the rear.
He knew what kind of virtue Hu Zhen was.
Put the defeat on Lu Bu's head, and people like Hu Zhen will definitely do it.
Hu Zhen and Lu Bu came to Yangxia, but at this time they were also afraid of Liu Jian in their hearts and were quite vigilant.
Captured Niu Fu in a row, Huaxiong, the two fierce generals of Liangzhou, an opponent with such strength, how could Lu Bu and Hu Zhen not be careful?
Now the two of them can be said to be walking on thin ice, and they dare not fight easily unless they are idle.
It really can't be defeated anymore, and if you lose the battle again, you don't need Liu Jian to clean them up, Dong Zhuo should directly attack the two of them!
In fact, the mood of the generals on both sides is basically the same.
Lu Bu and Hu Zhen looked at the Jizhou army at the head of the city and were a little scared, and Liu Jian looked at the Bingzhou army under the city, the Xiliang army, and the siege equipment mobilized from Sili, and he was also a little unsure in his heart.
Although there was grain and grass hoarded by King Chen in Yangxia City, half of these grains and grass had been burned in order to deal with Huaxiong, and his own soldiers and horses were not in King Chen's budget at first, so the surplus grain in Yangxia City was limited at the moment.
However, only a limited number of people led by Liu Jian knew about it.
The situation in the city is not very good, after receiving Chen Guo's generals, it seems that the number of troops has increased, but in fact, the internal unstable factors have also increased.
If there is no war, there will be no problem.
But once Yangxia falls into a scorching war, it is difficult to say whether those soldiers of the Chen State will do infighting.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun had already killed Liu Pet before he came back! broke all the illusions and expectations of Chen Guojun's army for Liu Pet.
Otherwise, if he waits for himself to come back, he can only imprison Liu Pet at most, but when the time comes, what the soldiers and generals of Chen Guo think about in their hearts, Liu Jian will not know, it is really difficult to control.
Liu Jian was standing at the head of the city at the moment, looking at the Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers standing below, and looking at the huge rushing cars, ladders, and trebuchets not far behind them, which was really a headache.
He really didn't expect that there were so many siege weapons on the Si Li's side!
After all, it is the arsenal under the control of the central government of the Han Dynasty, and the local reserves are too far from the central government in this time period.
Once Hu Zhen orders the stone thrower to throw stones now, he may not be able to hold it only with the low city walls of Yangxia County.
At this moment, if you let your generals lead the soldiers out of the city and raid the enemy position...... It doesn't seem to work either.
Looking at the wolf-like Bingzhou sergeants and Liangzhou sergeants under the city, Liu Jian gave up this idea in his heart.
If you rush into battle, you will only trap your own sergeants to death.
However, people fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense, although Liu Jian is now a little weak in his heart, but he can't weaken his own momentum.
At this moment, the bluff is the most important thing, and he wants to show his fearless momentum!
"Blow the trumpet!"
As Liu Jian's order was issued, he saw his sergeants raising their horns.
"Woo woo woo~!"
The melodious sound of trumpets resounded over the city, the sound was calm and harsh, and even slightly sharp, sharp enough to pierce the sound of the drums below, muffling the other party's drums.
Lu Bu frowned.
He looked up at the city and vaguely saw Liu Jian's figure.
"Drums! Pound hard! Lu Bu turned his head and ordered.
"Knock knock!"
The drummers of the city riveted their strength and beat the drum hammers with all their strength, so that the sound of the war drums was reversed again, and the sound of the trumpets on the city was overpowered.
Liu Jian was not to be outdone: "Blow! Blow hard! ”
"Woo~!"
Up and down the city, the two sides seemed to be competing, and neither of them refused to lose their momentum and let the other side take half a step.
But in fact, these are all superficial phenomena, and the main generals of the two sides are actually trembling in their hearts at the moment.
"Bongxian, you say...... Shall we do it? ”
Hu Zhen turned his head to look at Lu Bu and asked.
Lu Bu immediately raised his voice and said: "The soldiers of the three armies are witnesses!" If Dadu Hu wants to attack the city, just give an order, Lu Bu will fight to the death, in order to repay the country and the capital protection, there will never be the slightest delay! ”
Hu Zhen couldn't help but scold his mother when he heard this.
Lu Bupifu!
What does it mean to "defend the city and attack the city"?
In other words, I gave the order to attack the city? Once there is a loss in attacking the city, is it all my responsibility?
You, Lu Bu, are just a warlord who acts on orders......
Hu Zhen was annoyed in his heart, and secretly said that Lu Bu seemed to be reckless, but in fact, he really had a hand in this regard.
But it's no wonder that Lu Bu has been taking refuge in Dong Zhuo and entering the Luoyang court for a while, although he can't say how shrewd he is, but he can almost understand the things he should understand.
In these years, there are some things in the court that I don't understand, and if it's not good, it's easy for people to calculate, and I don't even have bones and slag when I die, but I don't know how I died.
Lu Bu said this, Hu Zhen was naturally not willing to take risks, he didn't say much, just watched his soldiers use war drums and the soldiers on the city to blow horns in the ring.
After holding on like this for a while, Liu Jian probably saw the enemy's intentions.
It seems that Lu Bu and Hu Zhen don't seem to want to fight with themselves.
At least for the time being, they don't want to fight.
If he really wanted to take the city, I am afraid that he would have already used a trebuchet to fight at this moment.
Thinking of this, Liu Jian's heart settled down a lot, he straightened up, turned around and walked towards the city.
Before leaving, he handed over the defense of the city to Zhang He.
When he came to the city, Liu Jian planned to send someone to count the materials in the city, and send someone to appease the people in the county.
It is safest to extinguish the signs of chaos from the inside, and then study how to deal with the enemy outside the city.
It was at this time that he saw Zhao Yun striding towards him.
At this time, Zhao Yun was a little different from usual, his face was extremely serious, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Liu Jian and Zhao Yun have also been friends for a long time, so they naturally know Zhao Yun's temperament.
"Zilong, do you have something to look for me?"
Zhao Yun replied: "Yun Zheng has something to do, and he wants to report to the lord." ”
Liu Jian smiled: "It doesn't hurt if Zilong has anything to say. ”
Zhao Yun seemed to be deliberating on the wording.
Subsequently, Fang listened to him and said: "Lord, Chen Wang Liu Chong died at the hands of Yun, although he was vicious and deliberately murdered, but Yun had to kill in order to stabilize the city and protect the generals...... But Liu Pet is the prince king after all! Yun killed him without authorization, which violated the law of the country, and asked the lord to correct Zhao Yun in front of the three armies to calm the hearts of the soldiers. ”
After Zhao Yun said this, he threw off his front robe, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded guilty to Liu Jian.
Zhao Yun's performance surprised Liu Jian.
For a moment he didn't know how to answer.
When he was young, Liu Jian said: "Zilong, your move is a meritorious service for me, how can I punish you?" What else do you say about local politics and law...... How is this different from insulting me? ”
"Yun knows that the lord is a relative of the Han family, a minister of the son of heaven, and it is a felony for Yun to kill the clan of the Han family, and the lord does not punish Zhao Yun, how can he explain to His Majesty when he turns around, and how can he explain to the people of the world?"
"Chen Guobing's generals are all Liu Chong's subordinates, and now the lord has taken over Chen Guobing's generals, Liu Chong's death, if the lord can't give Chen Guobing's generals an explanation, how can he accept his heart? Only by using Zhao Yun's head can he win the hearts of the soldiers of this country. ”
Liu Jian shook his head, his tone a little angry.
"Don't say that the soldiers of the Chen State are the generals of a state, and it is impossible for me to exchange your Zhao Yun's head for his heart! I'd rather not have these soldiers! ”
Zhao Yun said: "The lord is a person who has achieved great things, how can he be emotional? Yun received the great favor of the lord, although he died and could not repay it, this time he died for the lord, and he died as he deserved! Lord, Zhao Yun had already made up his mind before killing Liu Chong! ”
Liu Jian narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhao Yun kneeling in front of him in front of him, and clenched his hands into fists.
And at this moment, Fu Zhu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others also came.
The other soldiers were far away and did not hear the conversation between Liu Jian and Zhao Yun clearly, but Fu Zhu and Guan Yu and others came here and heard some of them.
Frustrated and bowed his hand to Liu Jian and said: "Lord, Zilong is loyal to the Lord, and the Lord also asks for ......."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Liu Jian step forward and suddenly kicked Zhao Yun in the chest, directly kicking him to the ground.
Not to mention Zhao Yun, who was kicked to the ground by Liu Jian, was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side, who were also stunned.
Zhao Yun was so brave and loyal to plan for Liu Jian, Liu Jian didn't praise him, why did he kick him over?
Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you doing?" How do you want to fight a dragon? ”
Liu Jian's expression was very cold.
He spoke slowly, "Shouldn't he be beaten?" As my arm, as a hero I trust, he didn't want to cherish his life, create a great cause with me, and help protect the Han family together, but because of some trivial things, because Liu Pet was a despicable villain, he was going to give his life here, he was simply a fool! I don't kick him, but I praise him? ”
Zhao Yun was shocked by Liu Jian's words, he looked at Liu Jian in a daze, not knowing how to answer.
Liu Jian said coldly: "You remember, your life is extremely precious, in my eyes you are my siblings, my brothers, as brothers, you can't easily say that you don't want to give up your life, I want to train you to be a general in charge of your own affairs!" I want you to go down in history, Weizhen Frontier! ”
"And you, what is your ambition? Did he lose his life for the sake of a despicable and shameless prince? ”
"Do you really think of me as a lord?"
When he said this, he saw Guan Yu coming over and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder: "Zilong, your brother Zhao Jun, now the team leader of Liaodong is a subordinate country, he is no longer the one who was assigned back then, he has made a lot of meritorious contributions at the border over the years, although the official position is not high, but I have always taken care of him, of course, this team rate is all based on his own merits, I have not sought personal ...... In fact, I have always wanted to tell you about Zhao Jun, but Brother Ru didn't let Guan say anything, he didn't want you to worry, and wanted you to make good contributions under the command of the lord, although you are loyal today, but as my brother said, it is too rash, you are not worthy of your brother's cultivation heart, nor are you worthy of your brother Zhao Jun's dedication. ”
"For the sake of a husband, do not be rash."
After Zhao Yun heard this, there seemed to be a little tear in the tiger's eyes.
But after all, he is a heroic figure, so naturally he will not allow himself to cry easily.
Zhao Yun got up from the ground and made a long gesture towards Liu Jian.
"Lord, Zhao Yun is guilty, he never cherished his life, Yun apologized to the lord here, from now on Zhao Yun should regard his life as a treasure, and no longer live up to the lord's kindness."
