I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 310 Cherish Your Own Life
"Dong dong dong dong!"

Outside Yangxia City, the troops of Hu Zhen and Lu Bu finally arrived.

Although Lv Bu was in the rear, after knowing Hua Xiong's defeat, he did not dare to delay in the rear.

He knew what kind of virtue Hu Zhen was.

It is absolutely possible for a person like Hu Zhen to put the defeat on Lu Bu's head.

Hu Zhen and Lu Bu came to Yangxia, but at this time they were also afraid of Liu Jian and were quite vigilant.

Having captured Niu Fu alive in succession, Hua Xiong, the two great generals of Liangzhou, with opponents of such strength, how could Lu Bu and Hu Zhen not be made more careful?

The two of them now are walking on thin ice, not daring to fight lightly.

It is really impossible to lose the battle again, and if you lose the battle again, without Liu Jian cleaning them up, Dong Zhuo should directly attack the two of them!

In fact, the moods of generals on both sides of the city are basically the same as those under the city.

Lu Bu and Hu Zhen looked at the Jizhou army on the top of the city with a little fear, while Liu Jian looked at the Bingzhou army, Xiliang army below the city, and the siege equipment mobilized from Sili, and felt a little uneasy.

Although Yangxia City had the food and grass hoarded by King Chen, half of the food and grass had been burned to deal with Hua Xiong. In addition, the cost of his own troops and horses was not within King Chen's budget at first, so at this moment, the people in Yangxia City Food surplus is limited.

However, only a few people, headed by Liu Jian, knew about this matter.

The situation in the city is not very good either. After recruiting the generals of Chen Guo, it seems that the strength of the troops has increased, but in fact, the factors of internal instability have also increased.

If there is no war, there will be no problem.

But once Yang Xia fell into an anxious battle, it was difficult to say whether those soldiers of the Chen State would engage in internal strife.

Fortunately, it was Zhao Yun who killed Liu Chong before he came back!Cut off all the illusions and expectations of Chen Guo's army for Liu Chong.

Otherwise, if he waited for him to come back, Liu Chong could only be imprisoned at most, but at that time, Liu Jian would not know what Chen Guo's soldiers and generals were thinking, and it was really difficult to control.

Liu Jian was standing at the top of the city at the moment, looking at the Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers lined up below, and the huge carts, ladders, and trebuchets not far behind them, which really gave him a headache.

He really didn't expect that Sili had so many siege equipment!

After all, it is the arsenal under the control of the central government of the Han Dynasty, and the local reserves are far behind the central government in this period of time.

Once Hu Zhen ordered the catapult to throw stones, Yangxia County's low city walls might not be able to defend it.

At this moment, if the generals under his command lead the soldiers out of the city to raid the enemy's formation...it seems impossible.

Looking at the wolf-like soldiers of Bingzhou and Liangzhou under the city, Liu Jian gave up this idea in his heart.

If you rush into battle, you will only kill your soldiers.

But people fight for breath, and Buddha fights for incense. Although Liu Jian feels a little guilty now, he can't weaken his momentum.

At this moment, bluff is the most important thing, he wants to show his fearless aura!

"Blow the horn!"

As Liu Jian's order was issued, his sergeants raised their horns.

"Woooooo~!"

The melodious sound of the horn resounded over the city, the sound was calm and harsh, even slightly sharp, so sharp that it could pierce the sound of the beating drum below and cover up the sound of the opponent's drum.

Lu Bu frowned.

He looked up at the city, and vaguely saw Liu Jian's figure.

"Beat the drum! Beat it hard!" Lu Bu turned his head and ordered.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The drummers under the city gathered all their strength and beat the drum hammer with all their strength, so that the sound of the war drums was reversed again, overwhelming the sound of the horns on the top of the city.

Liu Jian was not to be outdone: "Blow! Blow hard!"

"Woooo~!"

Up and down the city, the two sides seem to be competing with each other, neither of them wants to lose momentum and let the other half step.

But in fact, these are all superficial phenomena, and the leaders of both sides are actually very nervous at the moment.

"Fengxian, tell me... shall we do it?"

Hu Zhen turned to look at Lu Bu and asked.

Lv Bu immediately raised his voice and said: "The three armies are the witnesses! If the general guard wants to attack the city, just give the order, and Lu Bu will fight to the death to repay the Prime Minister and the general guard. There will be no delay!"

Hu Zhen couldn't help scolding her mother when she heard the words.

Lu Bu Piff!

What is "Da Du Ruo wants to attack the city"?
That is to say, I gave the military order to attack the city?Once there is a loss in the attack on the city, is it all my responsibility?

You, Lu Bu, are just a general who follows orders...

Hu Zhen was annoyed in his heart, and thought to himself that Lu Bu seemed foolish, but in fact he was really good at this.

But it's no wonder that Lu Bu has been relying on Dong Zhuo to enter the Luoyang court for a while. Although he can't say how shrewd he is, he can understand almost everything that should be understood.

These days, there are some things in the court that you don't understand. If something is wrong, it is easy to be counted. The dead don't even have bones, but they don't know how they died.

When Lu Bu made such a statement, Hu Zhen was naturally unwilling to take risks. He didn't say anything more, but just watched his soldiers beat the ring with drums and the soldiers on the top of the city with horns.

After persisting like this for a while, Liu Jian probably saw the enemy's intentions.

It seemed that Lu Bu and Hu Zhen didn't want to confront him either.

At least for the time being, they don't want to confront each other.

If he really intended to take the city, he would have already used a trebuchet to fight over by now.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian felt a lot more at ease, he straightened up, turned around and walked down the city.

Before leaving, he handed over the defense of the city to Zhang Yun.

When he came to the city, Liu Jian planned to send someone to count the supplies in the city, and then send someone to appease the people in the county.

It is the safest way to extinguish the signs of chaos from the inside first, and then study how to deal with the enemies outside the city.

It was at this time that Zhao Yun was seen walking towards him in big strides.

At this time, Zhao Yun was a little different from usual, his face was extremely serious, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Jian and Zhao Yun have known each other for a long time, so they naturally know Zhao Yun's temperament.

"Zilong, do you need to find me?"

Zhao Yun replied: "Yunzheng has something to do and wants to report it to the lord."

Liu Jian smiled: "It's okay for Zilong to speak up if he has anything to say."

Zhao Yun seemed to be considering his words.

Afterwards, Fang listened to him and said: "My lord, Liu Chong, the king of Chen, died at the hands of Yun. Although he was vicious and deliberately murdered, Yun had no choice but to kill in order to stabilize the city and protect the soldiers... But Liu Chong is a prince after all. Yun killed him without permission, which violated the laws of the country, and I ask my lord to punish Zhao Yun in front of the three armies, so as to reassure the soldiers."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he threw off the robe in front of him, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded guilty to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian was very surprised by Zhao Yun's performance.

For a moment he didn't know how to answer.

When he was young, Liu Jian said: "Zilong, you have made a contribution to me by doing this. How can I punish you? What are you talking about local political law... How is it different from insulting me when you say this?"

"You know that my lord is a clan member of the Han family and a minister of the emperor. It is a felony to kill a clan member of the Han family. If my lord does not punish Zhao Yun, how will I explain to His Majesty and the people of the world?"

"The Chen Guobing generals are all Liu Chong's subordinates. Now the lord has taken over the Chen Guobing generals. If the lord can't give the Chen Guobing generals an explanation for Liu Chong's death, how can we accept them? Only by using Zhao Yun's head can we accept them. The heart of the country's soldiers."

Liu Jian shook his head, his tone a little angry.

"Not to mention the generals of Chen Guo, even the generals of a state, I can't exchange Zhao Yun's head for his heart! I would rather not have these soldiers!"

Zhao Yun said: "My lord is the one who achieves great things, how can you use emotions? Yun received the lord's great kindness, although he could not repay his death, now he died for his lord, and he deserved it! My lord, Zhao Yun had already made up his mind before killing Liu Chong. !"

Liu Jian narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhao Yun who was kneeling in front of him, and clenched his hands into fists.

And at this moment, Jushou, 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 when Ju Shou, Guan Yu and others came here, they heard some of it.

Ju Shou cupped his hands to Liu Jian and said, "My lord, Zilong is loyal to me, my lord, please..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Jian stepped forward and suddenly kicked Zhao Yun in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

Not to mention Zhao Yun who was kicked to the ground by Liu Jian, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned.

Zhao Yun was so loyal to plan for Liu Jian, Liu Jian didn't praise him, how could he kick him over?

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Brother, what are you doing? Why are you beating Zilong?"

Liu Jian's expression was very cold.

He said slowly: "Shouldn't he fight? As my arm, as a hero I trust, he doesn't want to cherish his own life, create a great cause with me, and help protect the Han Dynasty together. Because of some trivial matter, because of Liu Chong, that despicable villain, he is about to ruin his life here, he is simply a fool! If I don't kick him, can I still praise him?"

Zhao Yun was startled by Liu Jian's words, he looked at Liu Jian in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

Liu Jian said coldly: "Remember, your life is extremely precious. In my eyes, you are my sibling, my brother. As a brother, you can't easily say what you don't want if you give up your life. I want to train you Become an independent general! I want your name to go down in history, and Wei Zhen frontier!"

"And you, what is your ambition? Could it be that you ruined your life for a despicable and shameless prince?"

"Do you really regard me as the master?"

When I was talking about this, I saw Guan Yu coming over and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder: "Zilong, your brother Zhao Jun is now the leader of the Liaodong vassal state. He is no longer the escort who was assigned back then. He has done a lot of meritorious service at the border. Although his official position is not high, I have always taken care of him. Of course, the team rate is all based on his own merits. I have never sought personal gain... Actually, I have always wanted to tell Zhao Jun about it You, but your brother won’t let Guan say that, he doesn’t want you to think about it, and wants you to make great contributions under the lord’s command. Although your actions today are loyal, but as your brother said, it is too rash, you are not worthy of your brother The heart of cultivation is not worthy of your brother Zhao Jun's efforts."

"As a husband, don't show off your temper for a while."

After Zhao Yun heard this, there seemed to be tears in the tiger's eyes.

But he is a hero after all, so naturally he will not allow himself to cry easily.

Zhao Yun got up from the ground and made a long bow to Liu Jian.

"My lord, Zhao Yun is guilty of not cherishing his own life. Yun apologized to the lord here. From now on, Zhao Yun will regard his life as a treasure and never disappoint the lord's kindness."
