Liu Wei's plan to escape was easily aborted by Li Ru.

To be honest, Liu Wei is very aggrieved in his heart now.

He originally wanted to be the emperor of Jingzhou, but who would have thought that this dream would wake up before it was done, and the reality he faced after waking up was still fragmented.

In any case, the fact that he colluded with Yuan Shao to expose Liu Jian has become an ironclad fact, and after this incident, Liu Jian will definitely take more strict care of himself, and then his life as a prince and king will be even more difficult.

In fact, all this is Liu Wei's self-pity, self-pitying, self-imposed obstacles, and annoyed cynicism.

His life is actually very nourishing, although he does not have so much power, but the fief given to him by the current emperor Liu Xie and Prime Minister Liu Jian is very good and sufficient.

Liu Wei's fief can support him to live the rest of his life easily and happily, and if he wants, he can live a luxurious life with plenty of food and clothing, and a group of wives and concubines.

It's just a pity that Liu Wei, who once became the king of the Han Empire, is not in this regard.

The current life is a kind of happiness for other people who can see it, but for Liu Wei, it is really an unspeakable torture.

But even if it was torture, he had to persevere.

Liu Jian's three words "Kou Dangzhu" were deeply imprinted in Liu Bian's heart, making him feel an unprecedented fear.

To be honest, Liu Wei didn't know much about Liu Jian before, but after the last abolition of the emperor, Liu Jian found that Liu Jian was actually a person who dared to say and do.

It's like a thunderbolt, and it's irresistible.

Every time he thought about it, Liu Wei was too scared in his heart.

In the end, in desperation, Liu Wei could only agree to Li Ru's request.

It should not be said to be a request, but a request.

Liu Wei was very aggrieved in his heart, but in order to keep his only position now, and at the same time to survive, he could only agree to Li Ru's request.

But what he promised was really reluctant.

After Li Ru left the mansion of King Hongnong, Liu Wei returned to his residence, picked up the slips on the table, and threw them on the ground.

He didn't care that these were his precious possessions, and he threw them all on the ground anyway.

"Why am I living so aggrieved?"

"Even a despicable character like Li Ru can ride on my head and be presumptuous!"

"I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!"

He Shi, who was behind Liu Bian, was startled when he saw Liu Bian talking like this.

She shuddered.

He hurriedly stepped forward to block Liu Wei's words and said, "Son, you are no longer the emperor, you can't call yourself me." ”

"Why? Mother! Why are widows so unlucky? ”

Faced with this question, Ho Shi also had nothing to answer.

Her intelligence is not particularly high, although she is quite scheming, but she is not the top person in the world.

I saw He let out a long sigh.

"Son, things have become like this now, you can only endure it, there is no other way."

"Our mother and son are now under the eaves, since the court has requirements for us, then we will respect the will of the court in everything, and we will talk about it later...... At least for now, our mother and son must be able to save their lives. ”

Listening to He's words, Liu Wei's face showed a little unwillingness, but he also knew that his mother's words were right.

What more could he ask for now?

Finish the current matter first, let yourself save your life, and keep the status of this prince and king.

As for what will happen in the future, and what will be the fate of his Liu Bian, it is unknown.

Let's talk about it.

……

At this time, Li Ru had already submitted the process of his meeting with King Hongnong, as well as the plan made by Liu Wei to communicate with Yuan Shao, and Li Ru's plan to use Liu Wei to cooperate with his own defeat of Huang Zu's reinforcements and submit the past to the imperial court.

Or rather, he handed it over to his boss Jia Xu.

Sending the school scholar to keep an eye on Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, and at the same time cooperate with Xu Huang to repel Huang Zu's army, this is Liu Jian's order to Jia Xu of the school scholar's office.

Jia Xu picked and chosen, and finally decided to hand over this important task of monitoring King Hongnong to Li Ru.

And now Li Ru's reply is very satisfying to Jia Xu.

Although Li Ru's letter did not say what the reason was for him to let King Hongnong cooperate with him to seduce Huang Zu, how could he not guess with Jia Xu's wisdom?

"It seems that Li Wenyou still understands the intentions of today's prime minister."

Jia Xu said secretly in his heart with a smile.

"At the beginning, he handed over the matter of monitoring King Hongnong to the school office, but he did not say anything specific about the school office and the purpose ......of the final mission."

In fact, Jia Xu had already roughly guessed Liu Jian's true purpose.

To be honest, what Liu Jian thinks in his heart can only be done by the school government.

But even if this matter is handled by the school government, it is actually not so easy to do.

After all, Liu Wei's identity is relatively special, he is not an ordinary prince, but a princely king who has been pulled down from the throne, which makes his identity more sensitive.

Liu Wei is no longer suitable to live in this world, and his existence is not beneficial to anyone.

However, what way should Liu Wei leave this world, which is a question for Liu Jian or Jia Xu.

If this kind of thing is not done well, it is easy for people to grasp the handle, which is very unfavorable to the court in the future, and it is also very bad for the current emperor and Liu Jian himself.

Of course, if this matter is not handled well, Jia Xu is afraid that he will end up being a back-......

So he handed over this matter to Li Ru to do.

Li Ru is bold, ruthless enough, and poisonous enough!

Jia Xu knows very well what kind of person Li Ru is, and he knows that Li Ru is now under Liu Jian, so he should know what kind of position he is.

Liu Jian took Li Ru under his command, not to let Li Ru enjoy the blessings, but to let Li Ru find a way to use his ability to deal with some things that others can't handle.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Li Ru to stay.

Judging from the current situation, Li Ru still understands what his position is.

He also knew what kind of problem he should solve for Liu Jian.

After reading Li Ru's advice, Jia Xu thought seriously for a while, and then put Li Ru's advice into the brazier and burned it.

Then, he found a school official from the school administration and asked him to return to Hongnong County on his behalf to inform Li Ru.

Jia Xu's answer to Li Ru was only four words.

"Let it go."

……

Just when the battlefields in the north and south were in full swing, Huang Zu received a letter sent to him by Liu Bian, informing Huang Zu that the plan would go according to the original.

After Huang Zu learned the news, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately commanded his headquarters generals to secretly go to the jurisdiction of King Hongnong at the appointed time.

After taking King Hongnong and the He clan out, he secretly retreated to the south.

Soon, on the night of November 11, Huang Zu's soldiers and horses arrived at the residence of Liu Wei.

At this time, Liu Wei had already prepared the carriage and horses as agreed.

As well as the baggage and goods in his palace, Liu Wei marched south with his descendants, as well as the armies of He and Huang Zu.

After Huang Zu received Liu Wei, he was in an unusually relaxed mood, he felt that he had made a great contribution to Yuan Shao this time, and after returning to Jingzhou this time, his Jiangxia Huang clan's status would far surpass that of other clans.

The Kuai family, the Cai family, the Deng family, and the Xu family cannot be compared with their Jiangxia Yellow Family this time.

Along the way, Huang Zu kept talking with Liu Bian, and at the same time showed goodwill to Liu Bian, and even greeted him and He Shi.

After all, one of the two people in front of him is the emperor who will be in Jingzhou in the future, and the other is the queen mother who will be in Jingzhou in the future.

Although the two of them will be Yuan Shao's puppets in the future, this does not prevent Huang Zu from having a good relationship with the two of them, after all, it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the emperor and the queen mother.

Puppets, that's also puppets with status, everyone will have to respect them on the surface in the future, right?

Yuan Shao will reuse their Huang family now, if this puppet emperor and puppet queen also pay attention to their Huang family, then won't the Huang family dominate in Jingzhou in the future?

It's cool to think about!

So Huang Zu flattered the two of them vigorously, but Liu Wei and He were very worried, and they didn't say much about Huang Zu's flattery, but they just dealt with it in vain.

Huang Zu was not suspicious of Liu Wei and He's abnormal state, he thought that Liu Wei and He were about to leave Hongnong for Jingzhou and were uneasy.

This is normal and understandable, and anyone who leaves a familiar place and goes to an unfamiliar place will not be adaptable.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother doesn't need to be anxious."

"Jingzhou has built a new palace for His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and His Majesty can re-ascend the throne when he arrives there."

"We and the rest of the south, under the leadership of Yuan Benchu, will definitely assist Your Majesty well, recapture the rivers and mountains that belong to our Han family, capture Liu Jian and the puppet emperor, and give Your Majesty a good breath."

Huang Zu chattered there, and He and Liu Wei just watched nervously left and right.

Liu Wei asked: "Huang Aiqing, there are no pursuers sent by the puppet emperor around here, right?" ”

Hearing Liu Wei ask, Huang Zuhao smiled heartily: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has already searched the vicinity, and there are no chasing soldiers at all, and now that there are wars everywhere, Liu Jian's attention is not here at all, let's take advantage of the situation!" He will never catch any traces......"

Liu Wei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed the words helplessly.

But it was only at this time that I suddenly heard a violent sound of stomping on the ground in front of me.

The sound of stomping on the ground was very loud, and everyone in the audience turned their heads to watch.

And Liu Wei and He's faces suddenly turned pale.

Huang Zu didn't pay attention to Liu Wei and He's faces, he just looked in the direction of the voice in surprise, raised his hand and said, "The officers and soldiers of the three armies immediately set up formations and prepare for battle!" ”

The shield men were in front, the sword and shield men were displayed on the sides, the spearmen were in the back, the light cavalry were on the sides, and then the longbowmen......

Not long after the Jingzhou army completed the formation, an elite infantry team appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Even though the sky was already dark, the Jingzhou army could still feel the powerful murderous aura of this army of soldiers and horses.

One of the generals led by him was wearing heavy armor and holding a big axe, which was Xu Huang, a general under Liu Jian.

Although Xu Huang has made a lot of contributions under Liu Jian, his reputation is still not obvious compared to the old generals in Hebei.

He was not arranged in this war, and it did not make the Southern Army in various places suspicious.

Because of this, Liu Jian arranged Xu Huang in this most lethal place.

Seeing Xu Huang leading such elite soldiers and horses to appear, Huang Zu's face was not good-looking, how did his subordinates investigate?

Didn't it be clear that there were no soldiers sent by Liu Jian to reinforce Hongnong?

This army is so majestic, why didn't it detect it beforehand?

However, Xu Huang didn't give Huang Zu much time to think, and he waved the big axe in his hand.

"Sons, the southern thieves have kidnapped King Hongnong! With bad intentions, the soldiers go up, recapture King Hongnong, and don't let go of the thieves of the Southern Army! ”

Huang Zu snorted coldly, waved his hand, and immediately ordered his longbowmen to prepare to release arrows.

Although there are not many majestic war horses in the south, but there are more bows and crossbows, these years, after Yuan Shao's training, most of the southern army is good at shooting, which is also Yuan Shao in order to fight against the war horse army in the north, and specially developed tactics.

Under normal circumstances, in the face of the opponent's longbow and crossbow array, most of the main generals' requirements for their soldiers are to take a detour from the flanks to temporarily avoid the edge, or use the tortoiseshell array to slowly move forward, or use the bow and crossbow array to respond, or use the method of wandering to disperse the opponent's arrow rain.

But Xu Huang's approach is different.

Xu Huang, who had a very human-like keen sense of smell about the battlefield situation, immediately gave an order to the three thousand sergeants behind him.

In the corresponding command system of the infantry army, this command has a technical term - assault.

A dash is when an infantry army, which was originally marching at a normal pace, suddenly increases greatly overall.

Each infantry drove the entire phalanx forward suddenly at its own speed to achieve a surprise effect.

Although a breakthrough is a possible means of commanding an infantry army, in normal times, not many generals can make such a move among the soldiers under their command.

Because in order to make a breakthrough move in the military formation, in addition to the general commanding must have a very keen judgment of the current situation, it is also necessary that the soldiers he leads are well-trained elite divisions.

Rushing forward is a risky move to speed up the original marching rhythm, and this is undoubtedly a great test for the tight formation of the infantry army.

It's just that as far as the current 3,000 Han army is concerned, their main general, Xu Huang, is naturally not a mediocre person, and the 3,000 Han army itself is a well-trained elite division.

Their predecessor was Liu Jian's southern expedition to the north and the Hebei soldiers who swept away the heroes.

Many people remember the advantages of Hebei's cavalry, but no matter how sharp Hebei's cavalry is, it can only be used in some fixed situations.

Only the brave infantry army is the foundation of the Hebei Army, and it is also the greatest contributor to Liu Jian's ability to get to this day.

So when Xu Huang's order was quickly conveyed to the Han army by waving the command flag, the 3,000 Han army did not disappoint Xu Huang.

After receiving Xu Huang's instructions, they strode forward almost at the same time, as if they had made muscle memory.

It was a difficult move for the other soldiers, but for them they didn't know how many times before.

And at the forefront of these Han armies were rows of flag-bearers holding spears.

There are those who are light and good at walking, walking like galloping horses, gathered as a disciple, and called a person who holds the flag.

When thousands of banner-bearers of the Han army suddenly rushed forward with spears in their hands, Huang Zu did not expect this at all.

The Han army's movements were too fast, and by the time the southern army reacted, it was too late.

The crossbow in the hands of the longbowmen was already shooting towards the Han army.

However, because the opponent's advance was too fast, the crossbowmen did not react in time, because the damage caused was not particularly large.

At this time, even if they wanted to retreat, it was too late.

As a result, just when Huang Zu's side was caught off guard, the tips of the thousands of spears in front of Xu Huang's phalanx had already pierced many enemy troops.

And when this scene happened, with the wailing of his own soldiers, the military heart of Huang Zu, who was now less than 2,000 soldiers, began to waver.

Originally, Huang Zu wanted to let the crossbowmen under his command get closer before releasing the arrows, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

No matter how rough Huang Zu was, he also realized at this time that the morale of the soldiers and horses under his command had been shaken.

Looking at the Han army formation that was getting closer and closer, Huang Zu had already retreated in his heart after a momentary setback.

So Huang Zu immediately gave the order to retreat.

It's just that in this situation, it's hard to retreat.

Liu Wei and He Shi were trembling at the moment.
