Liu Xie suppressed his excitement and glanced one by one at the old loyal ministers such as Fu Wan, Wu Lan, and Wang Fu, as well as Liu Ye and Mi Zhu, the two rising stars who stood here because of their relationship with the crown prince.
"No gift."
Liu Xie first raised his hand and said, and then said: "When the matter is urgent, keep everything simple. Now the matter is of great importance. My dear friends, please tell me, how many troops do we have in hand now?" [
After Fu finished, he came out and said: "Your Majesty, there are now twenty capable retainers, three hundred and fifty robust domestic servants, and more than three hundred other domestic servants and healthy women's servants."
"How can we defend the palace?"
Liu Xie was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and most of the blood in his head was immediately wiped out.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xun Shangshu Ling has already dispatched a batch of bows and arrows. With these hundreds of people, it is enough to guard the palace." Fu Wan said with confidence on his face, and then added: "What's more, we are waiting for you.
How long will it take to guard the palace? As long as the news comes out that the palace has failed, Xiahou Dun will definitely be in chaos. His Royal Highness, the prince outside the city, can take advantage of the situation and enter Xudu. When the army enters the city, your majesty will be safe."
At the critical moment, you still have to rely on the prince.
Liu Xie felt a little decadent and ashamed, but he was also full of joy and pride. This was Lin'er given to Liu by God.
If it weren't for the crown prince, why would I be here today? I am so proud of you.
Therefore, Liu Xie quickly regained his balance and nodded repeatedly: "Then we'll guard the palace first and wait for the prince to enter the city."
"Promise." Xun Yu and others all agreed.
The astonishing changes that had taken place in the city did not reach Xiahou Dun's ears immediately.
At this moment, the battle in the south of the city was still extremely fierce. Lu Su commanded the army and meticulously carried out Liu Feng's order to attack fiercely.
Even if there were heavy casualties, they would not blink an eye.
Under such an offensive, Xiahou Dun's soldiers who were recruited from various city walls all joined the defense to maintain the situation.
He originally thought that he could guard it for five days, but after experiencing this situation, Xiahou Dun's confidence suddenly dropped by half.
"Perhaps we can only guard it for three days."
After Xiahou Dun personally killed a Lu Su soldier who climbed up the city wall, he looked around blankly and felt very decadent.
"Mengde, I can only guard for three days." Xiahou Dun looked to the north, a little desperate. To this day, Xiahou Dun still doesn't understand why there is no news about Cao Jun.
It's really confusing.
"General, Lord Xun of Shangshu Ling has ordered the transfer of the guards in the palace, and the guards from various palaces have gathered in Shangshu Ling's mansion to support the defense of Nancheng. However, Shangshu Ling has disappeared, and the general has been asked to issue an order."[
At this moment, a school captain came over in a hurry, and it turned out to be the school captain guarding the palace gate.
"What did you say?" Xiahou Dun's eyes widened and his face turned red. He looked like he wanted to eat the captain.
The captain was startled by Xiahou Dun's expression, and he vaguely noticed something. Thinking of that situation, the captain couldn't help but feel numb.
Explained: "The minister ordered all the guards and guards to assemble."
"Assemble, is Xun Yu crazy? How many ministers are loyal to the Han Dynasty in the city? If they are allowed to join the emperor, if they are allowed to join the emperor."
