"Wechen greets Your Majesty! His Majesty personally went out of the city to greet him, which made the ministers terrified! ”

"Where are the words, Taiwei Lu, Lin Sikong, your Weng son-in-law is in Sheji, you are the pillar of the Han Dynasty, I am just going out of the city to meet each other, Aiqing and other outstanding military exploits are well deserved."

At the gate of Xuchang City, the red carpet was spread three miles away, hundreds of officials stood on both sides, and the outer ceremonial guards greeted each other, and the scale was so grand that even Cao Cao had never enjoyed it.

In the past, when Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he actually attached great importance to these etiquette details, whether he won or lost, he never asked the Son of Heaven to go out of the city to greet him.

After all, in this era of heavy gifts, he still tries his best to avoid all the criticism of people.

The Son of Heaven went out of the city to greet him, that is the highest honor of the minister, but no one took the initiative to mention it when he went out of the city to greet him today, it was completely Liu Xie's idea alone.

Of course, in fact, if you really want to talk about merit, it is really not too much to say that it is not too much to help the people fall and save the people in danger, and they can afford such a welcome.

Liu Xie, who was wearing a black five-clawed golden dragon robe, yawned, and looked sleepy, as if he had been squeezed dry by a woman.

After the politeness, Liu Xie pulled Lu Bu with one hand and Lin Mo with the other, and deliberately walked to the side and said mysteriously: "Aiqing, this time I want to reward you again, do you know, the newly refined into a furnace of elixir, just three, take it to prolong life, I keep one for myself, and the other two will be rewarded to your son-in-law." ”

"Your Majesty's kindness, Weichen"

Lu Bu paused, glanced at his son-in-law with some confusion, and found that his face was still light and light, before he continued: "Weichen thanks." ”

From Lu Bu's point of view, Liu Xie's state and performance today seem to be too far from what was expected.

The whole person is depressed, and the so-called heavy reward is the elixir, just like a fanatical alchemist.

If it weren't for the fact that he could receive express reports from Lu Lingqi from time to time about the changes in the forces of the Imperial Forest Army on the other side of Jiangxia, he might even be a little suspicious that Liu Xie might really not have this mind.

Lin Mo was calm, he knew better than anyone else that Liu Xie had already opened the curtain of the final battle, and if he didn't show the appearance of a faint king, how could he paralyze the two powerful ministers with high merit and military power.

After hearing that neither of them shirked, Liu Xie suddenly shouted loudly: "Tonight, I want to hold a celebration banquet in the palace to wash the dust for the Taiwei and Sikong."

I know that many of the hundred officials admire Taiwei and Sikong, but they can only wait until after today to invite their sons-in-law. ”

After speaking, he laughed loudly, and the officials on both sides could only echo the awkward laughter.

The meaning is very clear, tonight's banquet, only Lu Lin and others have a share, and the others will go back and stay.

The group of people led by Lu Bu and Lin Mo were of course thankful, and then Liu Xie pulled the two of them towards the city, "Aiqing, although I can receive the battle report from the front, you haven't explained the details.

I guess the process of defeating the thieves in this battle must be heart-wrenching, and you have to talk to me well, I love to hear you say this. ”

It really looks like this, but Lin Mo didn't say anything except thanksgiving from beginning to end, so let the old father-in-law be polite to him.

When he was about to arrive at the city gate, he finally saw Zhong Xuan, the dean of the Tai Academy, standing aside.

Maybe it's because he became the dean of Tai Academy, a position that is not among the three princes, but the power is not less than the three princes, or maybe it's the real change of dynasty after the Yingchuan foundation has not been impacted but has gone to the next level, and it looks a little younger than when they first met.

Lin Mo just glanced at him, without any eye signal, Zhong Miao nodded hurriedly, indicating that he knew what to do, and he was a very sensible Tai Academy Headmaster.

I didn't see Wei Yue, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Liu Xie also deliberately mentioned that today is the wind, and the Son of Heaven will come out to greet him, so the people who patrol the camp must put the road from the east gate to the palace under martial law.

After entering the inner city from the outer city, the emperor of the Han Dynasty went to the dragon chariot and entered the palace through the white horse gate, and the princess walked through the main gate.

Liu Xie really showed a 100% trusting attitude, and even directly pulled Lu Bu and Lin Mo to the dragon chariot and walked together at the White Horse Gate.

Of course, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Jia Xu still had to honestly walk the Golden Palace Bridge and enter the palace through the main gate of the arch guard, and they had to remove their weapons and armor before entering the palace.

Due to Liu Xiekai's special case, the armor has not been returned, but you still have to put the weapon in the control order.

This point, even if Liu Xie on the dragon chariot did not specifically explain it, Lu Bu and Lin Mo would not be stupid to enter the palace with weapons.

Therefore, when they reunited in the Chongzheng Hall, which was used for the banquet, everyone unloaded their weapons.

This is also something that Liu Xie has considered early on.

What kind of people are Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun, the unparalleled fierce generals who really stepped on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and on the premise of having weapons and war horses, the 1,800 people in his hands can't handle it at all.

As long as any of them escape, he Liu Xie will fall into a situation where he will lose everything.

Whether you can give them heavy medicine at the banquet is not praised, but without war horses and weapons, it is like a tiger without minions, as long as a thousand people surround the Chongzheng Palace, they will not be able to escape.

The banquet in the palace was prepared a long time ago, Liu Xie said that it was a dinner, but he didn't plan to wait until the evening to start the banquet, and the time was only three o'clock to start serving wine and meat.

In the Chongzheng Palace, except for Liu Xie, Lu Bu, Lin Mo, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Xu Sheng, there is really no more.

The kung fu is done quite well, so it is indeed easy to paralyze people.

It's a pity that everyone present knows what will happen tonight, but the acting skills of the big guys seem to be quite good, and there is a warm picture of a gentleman and a virtuous minister.

Liu Xie took the lead in raising his glass, "Ladies and gentlemen, this first cup, the twenty-three emperors of the Twenty-third Dynasty, the four hundred years of Han Zuo, and the people of the world, thank you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After a cup of belly, the singers began their performance.

Rao is a cold winter wax moon, and these singers are also wearing thin gauze clothes, except for the enchanting water snake waist and the skin that can be broken by blowing bombs, which is intoxicating.

However, there are gold charcoal burning in many corners of the Chongzheng Hall for heating, and the effect of this alternative air conditioner is not bad.

Time passed minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, it was time.

Although the alcohol content of this era is not high, it can't withstand such a way of drinking, after all, which of these battlefield warriors is not a thousand cups, Liu Xie wants to put them down by himself, which is obviously unrealistic.

However, there is still plenty of time, the time for the change of guard of the Royal Forest Army is sub-hour, and there are still three hours, in order to let this group of people drink as much as possible until they are unconscious, Liu Xie said in a timely manner:

"I'm afraid that Aiqing and others won't have enough fun, go, call Uncle Dong Cheng and Fu Guozhang to them, and accompany Aiqing to get drunk and rest!"

"Yes!"

Important characters began to appear, and they were all from the imperial party, Lin Mo sneered coldly in his heart, see how far you can toss.

Lin Mo was a little surprised that he didn't poison the wine.

In his expectation, this is also a rare opportunity, so there is a dark line that specially allows Lu Lingqi to develop a palace maid.

Probably, Liu Xie himself also felt that this group of people had no weapons, and at the same time, they drank seven meat and eight vegetables, and more than 1,000 people would basically not miss when they surrounded them.

But if the wine is poisoned, once it is exposed, it is a question of whether he can get out of it.

Within half an hour, Dong Cheng and the old ministers rushed over in a hurry.

In the past, they were bitter and bitter melon faces all day long, as if they had been wronged, and today they greeted each other with smiling faces, and they took the initiative to toast as soon as they came up, like close friends who had been reunited after a long absence.

Drink it.

If you don't drink thoroughly, you won't be able to see Liu Xie's finale.

In the Chongzheng Palace, between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the time is about to arrive.

Wu Shuo, who was in charge of controlling the Imperial Forest Army, finally ushered in a second chance to save the Han family.

During this period of time, the deployment of personnel has all been in place, as long as the time is changed, they will wait for Liu Xie's signal to start.

There are four gates of the palace, each door has two pairs, and it sounds like twelve gates, but only four teams of Imperial Guards are really responsible for the night, and each team of Imperial Guards is two hundred people.

In terms of quantity, there will only be a thousand people who participated in the attack of Chongzheng Hall at that time, and this number is obviously a bit thin.

Liu Xie knows this, and Dong Cheng also knows it.

But to develop the Royal Forest Army, it must be innocent and able to fight for the Son of Heaven, which is so easy to develop, and it is already the limit to be able to pull 1,800 people.

This is also why Lu Lingqi used so much power, and in the end only found out this person, she once wondered if Liu Xie still had something behind that had not been dug up, and blamed Xiao Qiao for not doing as well as Guo Zhaolisuo.

But later, she went out in person, and only checked these people, and she was relieved.

In order to finally succeed in the first battle, Wu Shuo put forward a suggestion, when changing the defense, only one hundred people should be left in each door, so that there will be 1,400 people in the hands, and finally more confidence.

Liu Xiesi thought about it, of course, these 100 people guarding the three gates were a little thin, but after all, there were only people from the patrol battalion in the city, even if they were aware of it, it was impossible for them to directly launch a siege war, and a hundred people were only responsible for blocking the gates, but they could barely get on.

In order not to let the Imperial Forest Army who changed the guard notice that something was wrong, Wu Shuo personally took people to change the guard, two hundred people at each gate, and after the change of guard, another hundred people were taken away to the next door to replace it.

This will definitely delay time, but they have no choice, so they can only do it brutally.

Fortunately, the process of changing guards was quite smooth, and the replaced Imperial Forest Army honestly left the palace and returned to the Royal Forest Barracks to rest.

After the four gates were replaced, it was already a moment later, Wu Shuo did not dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the barracks to mobilize the people who had been waiting there for a long time to enter the palace.

At this time, the palace gate had long been closed, and Wu Shuo, who came to the east palace gate, stepped forward and knocked on the palace door.

Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock Knock.

Three long and two short, this is the agreed signal, in order to ensure that there is no mistake, Liu Xie has given a strict order, the signal is not right, even if it is Wu Shuo himself who shouts, he cannot open the door.

With the palace door creaking open, 1,400 people entered in batches and walked quickly towards the Chongzheng Hall.

However, what Wu Shuo didn't know was that almost at the same time, the North Palace Gate was also knocked.

Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock Knock.

The centurion in charge of the guard scratched his head and said, "Didn't you say that they entered through the east gate, why did they come to the north gate?" ”

The centurion was very surprised, but the other party's signal was right for him, he had to open the door, after all, he didn't dare to take responsibility for such a big thing, maybe something changed.

After only a moment of thought, he still opened the city gate honestly.

After the palace gate was opened, one person was holding a spear and wearing Xuan armor, and the two people behind him were swords and guns, gold and silver bundles, and behind the three of them, there stood a neat phalanx of light armored infantry.

"General Wei Wei, as well as General Yan and General Wen, this and this. So late at night, what's going on? "Through the bonfire at the entrance of the palace, the moment they looked at each other, the centurion's scalp tingled and his hairs stood on end.

But the palace gate has been opened, and the person who came is a loyal minister of the court, what can he say, say I'm sorry, it's curfew, you go back?

How could it be them, just now, could it be that they heard it wrong? The centurion is losing his footing.

"What's going on?"

Wei Yue sneered, "Don't you know, Your Majesty wants to kill Taiwei and Sikong, we are ordered to kill the thief." ”

Yan Liang, who was carrying a big knife, also smiled and said, "My own people, don't worry." ”

Is it?

Are you your own people?

The centurion is a little confused, aren't you Lu Lin's henchmen?

Hiss~ Could it be that His Majesty's hands and eyes are all over the sky and have already subdued them?

Before the centurion could react, they had already strode forward.

It feels real, otherwise how would they know the signal?

I hope it's true, otherwise Your Majesty's affairs will be ruined in my hands.

When the centurion was still hesitating, the trapped camp halfway through the march suddenly raised the big knife in his hand, and the killing began.

Moreover, they had a clear division of labor, a close distance, and no heavy armor, so fast that this group of Imperial Forest soldiers did not understand what was happening, and they were even killed before they had time to shout.

There are only 100 people, and they are close to the camp by 800, and this result is not surprising.

"Your Majesty, the soup is ready, do you want to serve it now?" Liu Xie's eyes lit up when he heard the waiter come up and shout, and Wu Shuo was ready.

Liu Xie's hands trembled excitedly, it was a good time.

Looking at Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and their group of people who were staggering, Lu Bu was still a little sober, and this timing was too good.

Not only him, but also Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and other old ministers in the hall are like people in single clothes in the cold winter wax moon, and their upper and lower teeth are constantly bumping.

Liu Xie stood up, wanted to shout, and then sat back unsteadily as if he was drunk, and at the same time made a vomiting appearance.

Seeing this, of course, the old ministers of the imperial party wanted to support them.

"Tai Lieutenant, Sikong, it is convenient for the old man to help His Majesty."

"Aiqing. Aiqing, I'm not drunk, you are all waiting here, I'll come when I go. Liu Xie was afraid that Lu Bu and Lin Mo would also come out, so he didn't forget to remind him.

"Wechen obeys." Lin Mo sneered.

When they walked out of the back door, everyone who was originally red-faced and staggered slowly stood up and came to Lu Bu and Lin Mo.

Weng and his son-in-law glanced at each other and got up.

"It's time, get ready to do it." Lin Mo stretched.
