Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 361 What's going on?
As soon as he entered Hanoi City, Liu Xie's hot mind calmed down.He found that something seemed wrong.

From outside the city, Hanoi was already in chaos, and the shouts almost overwhelmed the siege roar outside the city.But after entering Hanoi City, Liu Xie discovered that there were not many people on the streets in the city.Instead, there were countless civilians imprisoned in the houses in front of the city gate—these civilians were still screaming in panic at this moment, just like the loud and miserable screams that Liu Xie heard outside the city just now.

Looking back suddenly, Liu Xie saw that the city gate that had been opened was quickly closed by hundreds of well-mannered soldiers as expected.At the same time, between the city gate and Liu Xie's fine cavalry, these soldiers set up obstacles such as rejecting horses and deer villages, and some unscrupulous soldiers even sprinkled barbed caltrops around Liu Xie.

Suddenly he raised his head, and all the ambushes on the surrounding city walls were seen. Soldiers with stern faces and bows and arrows were waiting intently.As long as Zhang Yang gives an order, Liu Xie's fine cavalry can be shot into a sieve immediately!
The extremely clever Liu Xie immediately understood what had happened. He turned his head and looked silently behind the gap in the city gate, the expressions of the trapped camp, the five-featured cavalry, and the expressions of the Han soldiers rushing towards Hanoi City to rescue him in fear and fury. Suddenly there is a trace of indescribable enlightenment.So, at the moment when the city gate was completely closed, Liu Xie suddenly slapped himself without warning: "Damn it, I fell for it."

"Your Majesty!" A five-featured elite cavalry commander beside him held the spear in his hand nervously and heavily, his body tense like a leopard about to pounce on its prey: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if we die, we will protect His Majesty's safety." !"

Liu Xie waved his hand flatly, tidied up his battle armor unnaturally, and after trying to sort out his thoughts a little bit, he shouted to the soldiers on the city wall who seemed to be more nervous than Liu Xie: "Don't hide anymore! Hiding in hiding, let Zhang Yang come down to see me."

Pop, pop, pop.

Loud and rambling applause came down from the city wall, and Zhang Yang slowly emerged, finally regaining the feeling of being the ruler of Hanoi.Although his attire is very embarrassing this time, but condescendingly looking down on today's achievements makes him look more stalwart and taller.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be the Son of Heaven. He was so calm and composed at the moment when he was caught in a trap." Zhang Yang carefully looked at Liu Xie on the horse, and was thinking about whether to give the young man the courtesy of a monarch and minister.Seeing that the Han army had already charged to the city gate, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the outcome of today's battle has been decided, so I'll stop here, okay?"

At this moment, Liu Xie was also quietly looking at Zhang Yang. Under the cold light of the bow and arrow reflecting the sunlight in the sky, Liu Xie's expression also seemed to be erratic.Faced with Zhang Yang's indifferent tone of treating this war as a game, he couldn't help being shocked in his heart, and at the same time, his brain began to spin rapidly under the dangerous pressure.

From the moment he entered the city, Liu Xie knew that he had become a prey in someone else's trap.But what puzzled him was that Zhang Yang didn't seem to want to kill him to end the war.Although Zhang Yang also knew that killing himself might lead to a bigger war, but the demeanor of his wisdom is definitely not something a second-rate general can do.

Behind his scenes, there must be expert guidance.

Moreover, that person is not Yuan Shao's person, or at least he is no longer on the same line as Yuan Shao.Because, Liu Xie knows very well that if Yuan Shao captures him, he will be so anxious that he can't help but kill himself on the spot first, and then think about finding a scapegoat. After all, Chang'an, the orthodox Han Dynasty, is currently the only obstacle Yuan Shao's huge stumbling block.

Well, since Zhang Yang and the people behind Zhang Yang are not Yuan Shao's people... From this, the following story is very interesting.

But just when Liu Xie thought of this and felt a little calm in his heart, suddenly there was a slight sound of breaking wind, and the expressions of the several knights behind him froze suddenly, and then the sound of weapons falling to the ground awakened Liu Xie who was in deep thought.He suddenly looked up and found that someone had shot a few arrows on the city wall just now, but they didn't take the lives of the knights around Liu Xie. They only let their weapons go and groaned in pain.

This is a warning.

Faced with the shocking change, Liu Xie's face immediately darkened.He slowly raised his head to look at where Zhang Yang was, and said something clearly and clearly in a very firm tone: "Dong Zhao, Dong Gongren, get out! In front of the court officials, eating Zhang Yang's food Liang, but he is doing things for Yuan Shao, a rebel! Confucius said, worshiping a ghost other than a ghost is called flattery! You, a minister who worships ghosts, dare to hurt my horse with five senses now, do you know how to be ashamed?!"

Dong Zhao walked out from behind Zhang Yang seemingly as usual, he didn't ask Liu Xie how he guessed that he was here, but tried his best to hide the shock in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, those who know current affairs are heroes. It's not that the minister is the minister who worships ghosts, but that His Majesty knows what you should do at this moment."

"Oh...?" Liu Xie looked at Dong Zhao with great interest, and his eyes were like sharp swords that saw through Dong Zhao's false appearance: "You want me to disarm and become your prisoner?" Liu Xie Slowly dismounted, kicked away the barbed wire in front of him, walked under the city wall step by step, looked at Zhang Yang and Dong Zhao, and suddenly stopped: "That depends on whether you have such skills!"

"Hmph, with the emperor in hand, the Han army is wary of throwing rats. I can get whatever I want..." Dong Zhaowen's face finally became a little distorted. He never thought that the emperor of the Han Dynasty could be so proud .

However, before he became angry from embarrassment, Zhang Yang's face suddenly changed drastically, and he suddenly pulled Dong Zhao to lie on the top of the wall.After that, a huge flying stone mercilessly hit the top of the city, causing a cloud of debris and smoke.

Dong Zhao got up in a panic, and looked at Liu Xie in disbelief: "Aren't you afraid that we will kill you?!"

Liu Xie raised his head proudly, as if he didn't bother to answer Dong Zhao's question.However, if someone is by his side, you can see Liu Xie's sword-like eyebrows have actually jumped up suddenly, and the palms of his hands are full of cold sweat.

He had expected that the Han army outside the city would continue to attack the city.But what he didn't expect was what tricks Dong Zhao and Zhang Yang were playing, and what their bottom line was for themselves.

Obviously, at this time, the two armies seem to be standing on the table of a tense negotiation.Both Liu Xie and Dong Zhao are striving for the initiative in the negotiation field.And this flying stone hit just right, making the Han Dynasty express their determination with the most practical and ruthless actions.

As Dong Zhao's shameful face changed, he still didn't dare to act rashly. Even when the furious Zhang Yang ordered the crossbowmen to do it, Dong Zhao tried his best to hold back Zhang Yang.Liu Xie knew that he had won a short-term victory in this short-term negotiation.

"Your Majesty deserves to be today's son. This kind of demeanor is heartbreaking." Dong Zhao sighed, and his calm expression was completely cracked at this moment.He respectfully saluted Liu Xie, and then said: "Your Majesty, please move the head of the city to avoid the two armies fighting, and then allow General Zhang to host a banquet to suppress your Majesty's surprise."

The three hundred and five officials dismounted and guarded Liu Xie on the top of the city of Hanoi with strict vigilance.Behind them, a large group of Hebei soldiers drew their bows and arrows and surrounded them step by step to form a larger encirclement.

When Liu Xie finally appeared in front of the generals of the Han army, the entire army formation suddenly let out a cry of begging for drink like a thunderous roar.Seeing this scene, the generals in the city were filled with righteous indignation.At present, Xu Rong raised his eyes and roared angrily: "Zhang Yang is a thief, how dare you hold the emperor hostage, why don't you go down to the city to give the head?!"

Liu Xie sighed, Xu Rong's words were certainly not level.But the biggest failure today is none other than himself.Therefore, he has no right to make fun of Xu Rong, so he could only calm down and ask, "General Xu, who ordered the flying stones to attack the city just now?"

Xu Rong's face turned livid, and he immediately thought that the blow just now made Zhang Yang angry, and wanted to use the hand of the emperor to vent his anger.Thinking of this, Xu Rong immediately stepped forward and cupped his fists and said: "Shicai is the order of the last general. If your majesty has any punishment, the last general can bear it alone."

"No, it was the last general's order just now!"

"Nonsense, everyone can see, it's my order!"

"What are you arguing about? Your Majesty once said that you must seek truth from facts. It was clearly an order from this general just now!"

As soon as Xu Rong opened his mouth, Gao Shun, Li Yan, and Jiang Jiong all jumped out.Obviously, these three people are exactly what Xu Rong thought.

But Liu Xie's expression on the city was very exciting. Even under the heavy siege of the enemy army, he couldn't help showing a dumbfounding expression.Looking at Yang Fu and Han Hao who were coming after the catapult, he immediately understood: "Is it the order from Yang Xishan and Han Yuansi?"

"No!" The four of them shook their heads in denial.

But in fact, Liu Xie's guess was not wrong at all.It was indeed Yang Fu who ordered the attack just now, and they were furious to stop them.Afterwards, it was Han Hao who saw that none of the soldiers dared to move, so he stepped forward and threw a flying stone over the city of Hanoi himself.

These four people really wanted to kill Han Hao at that time, but at this moment, after being questioned by the emperor, they tried their best to protect the two of them—after all, they all knew that what Yang and Han did was probably the most correct choice at that time.But they didn't have such decisive courage at all.

"What isn't it?" Liu Xie was a little tired of having this kind of wrangling with the four of them. He tossed his sleeves and said loudly: "Yang Fu and Han Hao are very wise, resolute and courageous. After returning to the court, I will definitely be able to talk about meritorious deeds." A reward. Wait for a few people..." At this point, Liu Xie turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yang and Dong Zhao, whose faces were almost turned into scapegoats, and then continued with a slight smile: "Go back to wash and sleep if you have nothing to do. .”

The four of them were stunned for a moment, they looked at each other, and they all looked at each other: Isn't His Majesty kidnapped, this...what the hell is going on?
