Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 253 Let Him Come...

When the horseshoe rolled up the yellow sand all over the sky, Liu Xie watched Ma Chao lead seven thousand cavalry to the west.He suddenly turned around, took the military flag handed over by Old Zou, and waved it fiercely: "Go east and destroy Yuan Shu!"

Due to precautions in advance, news of the Chang'an Incident did not spread among the barracks.And for Liu Biao's accompanying army, they didn't even smell it at all.In addition, after the battle of Xuanyuan Mountain, Liu Xie generously rewarded the soldiers. Therefore, this time the march was really valiant and high-spirited, with the momentum of never returning if Yuan Shu's rebels were not defeated.

Of course, this is all to blame for the bounty.

But Liu Xie didn't take this at all seriously. In his opinion, being a soldier and having enough food is only the most basic need.Why can't you enshrine your wife and children and make a fortune when you earn a living by sacrificing your life on the battlefield?
As for Confucian brainwashing education such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Liu Xie did not relax.On the contrary, some scholar-bureaucrats accompanying the army discovered that the soldiers could only listen to what they said after they got real money.

In the words of Liu Xie: This is the material security before the spiritual enrichment.The construction of the military system and military style can only be grasped with both material and spiritual, and both hands must be hard!

Relying on this momentum, Liu Xie traveled all the way across Yangren, Yingchuan, and Yingshui to Xu County.Wherever he went, he went down several cities almost without bloodshed.Some even just saw the local people, under the leadership of the wild bosses, holding a banquet for the king when the scouts entered the vicinity of the city.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and the soldiers were like fire.All counties and counties raised troops to respond, expressing their obedience to the leadership of the Han Dynasty.This kind of result shows that it is no longer a result of war, it is actually the result of Yuan Shu's perverse actions and the wrath of heaven and people.Once the people exploited by him find an opportunity, they want to get rid of this fierce ghost as soon as possible.

In fact, Yuan Shu was going crazy at this time, he was so anxious that he fell ill on the bed, but he still roared and shouted: "Come on, let me drag you out, beheaded, beheaded!"

"My lord, General Liu's defeat was not a crime of war, but Cao Cao's cunning in military tactics..." Although Yuan Huan didn't like Liu Xiang, considering the facts, he believed that Liu Xiang's crime was not worthy of death.If a general was to be killed in a losing battle, who would dare to sacrifice their lives for Yuan Shu in the future?
But at this moment, Yuan Shu could no longer listen to Yuan Huan's advice. He jumped up from the bed suddenly, his pale face was full of exasperated anger: "Liu Xiang, you have failed my general's entrustment. My plan to plot Jizhou fell short, such a serious crime, do you think you deserve to die?!"

After saying this, Yuan Shu casually grabbed the wooden pillow on the bed and threw it at Liu Xiang viciously.Liu Xiang knelt in front of Yuan Shu with his whole body badly injured. Hearing Yuan Shu's words, he was already disheartened. In the hard work of the last general fighting bravely, treat me, Liu Xiang's family, kindly."

After saying this, Liu Xiang wanted to stand up and lead him to death.Unexpectedly, when Yuan Shu heard that Yuan Huan heard Liu Xiang mentioned his family, he couldn't help but smiled sinisterly: "Yes, you Liu Xiang has a family, I heard that you have many wives and concubines, just to reward those soldiers who sincerely serve the general .Also, your daughter seems to be 16 years old this year, right?..."

"Yuan Shu's thief, you don't have to worry about it. You are so overjoyed that you have lost this battle. Why do you blame my family?" When Liu Xiang heard that Yuan Shu was going to humiliate his wife and children like this, he immediately roared furiously. The four guards held him tightly, so that he could only scold Yuan Shu with a grim face: "You dog thief, you will die, even if I, Liu Xiang, are a ghost, I will not let you go!"

There was a 'puchi' sound.

No one could clearly see how Yuan Shu, who was ill, quickly jumped out of bed, drew out a sword, and stabbed fiercely into Liu Xiang's abdominal cavity.The only thing they saw was that the rear general who came from the high self-importance had a ferocious face at this time, and screamed at Liu Xiang sharply: "This general will never be wrong, and will never be wrong! The one who is wrong is you idiot, you will be wrong!" My good situation is completely ruined!"

Liu Xiang stared blankly at Yuan Shu's maddened angry face, feeling that his life was so sad for the first time, but then, when he was dying, he suddenly laughed again, and suddenly sprayed a big mouthful on Yuan Shu's face The Queen of Blood roared sharply: "Yuan Shu, you will kill yourself if you do many injustices. I will wait for you under the Nine Springs!"

"And you, following such a narrow-minded, ambitious and talented guy, I want to see what will happen to you in the end!" Liu Xiang looked around, staring at those civil servants and generals who were already stupid , cursed terribly.

"Shut up! Disturb our army's mind, disturb our army's mind!" Yuan Shu yelled frantically, and at the same time, the sword in his hand was twitching violently, stabbing Liu Xiang's abdominal cavity into flesh.Liu Xiang couldn't be tortured in the end, and he died when he tilted his head.

Yuan Shu tightly held the blood-soaked sword with his right hand, walking back and forth like an irritable and furious sick bear.All the civil servants and generals who were approached by him hurriedly took a step back, for fear that Yuan Shu would go mad and stab him with a sword.

But unexpectedly, after Yuan Shu walked back and forth a few times, his anger seemed to disappear, and his body became much stronger.Looking back at the silent and fearful expressions of the crowd, he couldn't help being amused, and even smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, I, Yuan Shu, come from a famous family, and I have always been rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for mistakes. It has nothing to do with you."

Seeing that Yuan Shu is such a nervous person, everyone's heart almost jumped out of their throats.After looking at each other from left to right, they hurried forward and complimented each other in unison: "My lord is wise."

"Okay!" Yuan Shu looked even happier when he saw that everyone finally knelt down in front of him submissively.After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "The army listens to my orders, enter Kuangting, and follow me to defeat Cao Mengde!"

"My lord!" Yuan Huan is really not afraid of death. He dared to speak at this time: "Cao Mengde used his troops cunningly. He only has 1 people, but he dared to set up an army in Kuangting. There must be fraud in it!"

"You don't need to say too much, Yaoqing. Cao Mengde and I have known each other since our early years in Luoyang. How can we not know his virtues? He put on a posture of a python swallowing an elephant this time, in order to lead our army to a decisive battle. His main force must be together It's a pity that he, Cao Mengde, has only a little bit of cleverness, this time our army has more than [-] people, throwing the whip to stop the flow, and it is enough to defeat the cunning."

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes and talked eloquently, as if he dismissed Cao Cao's little trick: "This time, I will let Cao Cao know that I, Yuan Shu, follow the sky, and even if I fight him upright, I can kill him." No piece of armor left!"

"My lord! Our army has only a [-]-[-] chance of winning this battle, but don't forget that in addition to Cao Mengde, the coalition forces of the Han Dynasty and Liu Biao are behind us. If we can't defeat Cao Cao, we will fall into a dilemma, and it will be too late to regret !"

"How could this general not know?" Yuan Shu raised his head, still with that warm smile on his face, and replied softly to Yuan Huan: "It is precisely because there is an allied army of the Han Dynasty behind me that I want to defeat Cao Cao quickly. Only by the power and influence of Xi Wu's great victory can the allied forces of the Han Dynasty be shocked and hesitate to move forward."

"However, at that time, the Han allied forces were far from aware that our army had collected all of Yanzhou's financial resources and troops, and marched northward to Jizhou. As long as we joined forces with Gongsun Zan to defeat Yuan Shao, who would dare to overwhelm our army?!"

Yuan Huan still wanted to speak, but he was not a fool after all. From Yuan Shu's tone, he heard the slightest hint of cold threat.Seeing that Yuan Shu's right hand was involuntarily stroking the blade of the sword, he didn't understand that Yuan Shu had raised murderous intentions towards him.In the end, he wriggled his lips, and the words he spit out were: "My lord is brave, this battle must be won!"

Yuan Shu burst into a satisfied smile upon hearing this.

"Okay, you are worthy of being the general's think tank!" After saying this, the four guards were also preparing to carry Liu Xiang's body out.Seeing Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu looked disgusted, and then laughed nervously again: "Don't panic, cut off this person's head and hang it on the flagpole. This general wants to let the whole army know what the consequences will be if you don't fight bravely! And , let this dog keep his eyes wide open to see how this general defeated Cao Cao!"

In the end, Yuan Shu had been served and put on the armor. The luxurious and bright light armor immediately gave Yuan Shu a sense of heroism. He also seemed to be satisfied with his pride in going into battle despite his illness. Suddenly, he swung his sword and shouted: "Go east to Kuangting and defeat Cao Cao!"

At this time, Cao Cao, who was waiting for work in Kuangting, heard Cao Hong's report, stroked his beard slightly, smiled, and replied lightly: "Let him come..."
