There may be people in this world who are not afraid of death, but most people are still very afraid when facing death. Diaochan and the others are just three weak women, how can they ignore life and death? Listen to Liu Xin
When it was mentioned that the three of them were guilty of capital crimes, they were trembling with fear and could not utter a word.
Of course, Liu Xin would not really want to kill Diao Chan. Even if he wanted to kill her, Ma Yun would not agree. The two of them had already discussed it, one would be a bad guy and the other a good guy. So, Ma Yun promptly
Someone came out from behind the screen and tried to persuade them: "Husband, you are really capable of dealing with these beautiful girls. They are still young and not very sensible, so why not just spare them this time."
In fact, both Liu Xin and Ma Yun underestimated Diao Chan's ability. Historically, Diao Chan was considered a strange woman. She dealt with Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu and played between them. If she didn't have enough
Wisdom, it is difficult to achieve this by looks alone. Liu Xin's words just now have made Diao Chan understand that it is not that his appearance cannot attract Liu Xin, but that he already knows that Wang Yun wants to treat him
It was unfavorable, so she deliberately distanced herself. Now, from Ma Yun's words, Diao Chan could also tell that they were singing along and had no intention of punishing her sins.
Diao Chan is not a light-saving lamp. After thinking about these two points, she became bolder again. She stood up and bowed to Liu Xin and Ma Yun respectively. She said with tears in her eyes: "Master, Madam, Diao Chan knows this."
I have sinned so deeply that I dare not ask for your forgiveness. I only ask my master and madam to promise Diao Chan one thing, and let Diao Chan dance for you before she dies."
Apart from other aspects, Diao Chan has absolute confidence in her dancing skills. If she takes second place, I am afraid no one in the world would dare to take first place. Diao Chan has a wishful thinking, as long as Liu Xin looks at her
Even if you can't be immediately fascinated by the dance, the original three-point murderous intention can definitely disappear without a trace.
However, Liu Xin didn't have time to watch her dance now, but when she saw that the expression on her face suddenly became much calmer, she was secretly surprised and asked: "Diaochan, are you really not afraid of death?"
Diao Chan suddenly lowered her head and cried loudly: "I'm scared, I'm really scared."
Liu Xin didn't expect that Diao Chan's face would change at a moment's notice. If it wasn't true, then she was definitely a acting genius. But Liu Xin didn't have time to care about that much now, so she said casually: "Don't cry now, I can't do it now."
What will happen to you? From today on, the three of you will live in the same courtyard. You are not allowed to leave the courtyard. If anyone dares to take a step outside, the three of you will be punished together! We will tell you everything when I come back."
As expected, Diao Chan stopped crying and blurted out, "Is Master going on a long trip?"
Ma Yun glared at Liu Xin, turned to Diao Chan and said: "It's not your place to ask, don't ask more!"
Liu Xin also knew that she had let something slip, so she simply waved her hand and said, "Diaochan, I won't hide it. In the next few days, I will use troops against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, Liu Xie killed his brother and usurped the throne. I
I won’t let them go.”
This news can be regarded as top secret. Even many middle and lower-level officers don't know it yet. Liu Xin actually said it directly, which surprised Diao Chan. However, she soon understood that from now on, she has
He was officially placed under house arrest, and even if he knew about it, he would have no chance to spread the news.
Diao Chan suddenly thought of Wang Yun. He wanted Liu Xin's life. Once Liu Xin captured Chang'an, she might not let him go. Although she now understood that she was just a tool in Wang Yun's hands, but Wang Yun
After all, after raising her for thirteen years, Diao Chan couldn't help showing a worried look on her face, and said anxiously: "Master, I want to ask you one more thing. I hope that I can spare my adoptive father's life. I am willing to die on my behalf."
!”
Only then did Ma Yun realize that Diao Chan was also a person who valued affection and justice, but her intercession for Wang Yun was really not worth it, so she said angrily: "Diao Chan, you are still helping Wang Yun speak up until now."
, but when did he care about your life and death? And when did he consider your happiness? Forget it, just follow the master's instructions and you all go back to the yard, and Wang Yun's matter will be judged by the time."
Early the next morning, a carriage quietly left the Prefecture and went straight to the west gate of Xiangyang. Liu Xin looked through the curtains at the scenes on both sides of the avenue. It was just the fifth day of the first lunar month, and it was still early in the morning, so there were almost no pedestrians on both sides of the avenue.
Cheng Yu and Liu Xin were riding in the same car and looking out the window in rapt attention. They both knew very well that this expedition was more difficult than any previous one, and they didn't know when they would be able to return to Xiangyang. The west side of Xiangyang City
There are already a large number of military restricted areas in the suburbs, where many troops are stationed. Not only are there training centers and recruit camps, but even the production base of the research institute is located there, so you can't see the common people outside the west gate.
Liu Xin did not bring the Feihu guards with him this time, but left them all in Xiangyang, because except for the 50,000 recruits he had just recruited at the end of last year, he had no other mobile troops available to defend Xiangyang.
The heavy responsibility has completely fallen on Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the Feihu guards they led.
Outside the west gate, a group of cavalry is ready to go. This group of cavalry has about a thousand people and comes from the Second Army. The leader is Wang Wei, who was seriously injured in Zoke County. After he recovered from his injury and returned to the army, he was promoted to a member of the cavalry.
General, this time Zhang Fei sent him to lead the army to escort Liu Xin to Guanghan. Liu Xin and Cheng Yu got off the carriage. They also changed into cavalry attire, got on their horses, and mixed in the team. They looked different from ordinary people.
There is no difference between soldiers.
In the past year, Liu Xin has not left the Prefecture Mufu. Who would have thought that he would suddenly arrive outside the city today? Liu Xin put his legs in the stirrups, laughed, turned to Cheng Yu and said: "Zhongde, I have already
I haven’t ridden a horse for a year, let’s go, let’s try our feet first, and then see how amazing the world-famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry is! Drive!”
With his whip whip raised, the entire cavalry moved, like a long dragon, galloping westward along the wide and flat road.
Zhu Ding, the prefect of Zangke, had received a document sent by Liu Xin, telling him that Zhu Ying had regained his freedom from that day and was no longer a hostage. In fact, Zhu Ding knew very well that in the past three years, Zhu Ying
He had never been imprisoned before, and his life in Xiangyang was more comfortable than his own. Liu Xin not only did not feel sorry for him, but also wanted to let him regain his freedom. You know, Zhu Ying wanted to poison Liu Xin back then.
Liu Xin was able to repay evil with kindness. In addition to working for Liu Xin wholeheartedly, would Zhu Ding have any other ideas? The document also reminded him to pay attention to the movements in the four counties of Central and South China and take more precautions.
Although Zhu Ding was just a barbarian leader, he was able to control the largest branch of the barbarians, and his mind was not that simple. From the day Feng Lie led the barbarian army to Zoke County, he had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
, the document sent by Liu Xin strengthened his judgment. Without saying a word, Zhu Ding quickly sent people to mobilize the young and middle-aged people from all tribes of the barbarians. The barbarians are all brave and tough, as long as they can hold swords and guns.
A qualified soldier can almost be said to be a soldier of the whole people. Zhu Ding is fully confident to help Liu Xin defend Zoke County and prevent the enemy from taking a step beyond the enemy.
Liu Xin led the cavalry team to travel day and night, eating dry food and only resting for two hours every night. By the early morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, they had arrived at the camp in Guanghan County. This camp
Located in Jianmen Pass, a total of 180,000 troops gathered. After leaving Jianmen Pass and more than 20 miles northeast, there is Jiameng Pass.
Jiameng Pass is located on the transportation artery of Qin and Shu. The Jialing River and Bailong River meet here, leading to Hanzhong at the top and Chengdu at the bottom. It is the only way to enter Shu from the Central Plains. Currently, the people guarding Jiameng Pass are still Liu Yan's men.
The old generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei, after they were defeated in Chengdu, defected to Zhang Lu. Liu Xin was furious about this incident and vowed to take the heads of these two men. If Jiameng Pass is in his hands,
, you can go straight to Hanzhong after exiting the customs and heading north.
Different from the passes in other places, Jiameng Pass is actually a city, with "pass" as the "city". In the narrow sense, Jiameng Pass is actually the west gate of Hanshou City, and in the broad sense, Jiameng Pass is the west gate of Hanshou City.
It refers to the entire Han Shoucheng. In front of and behind the Jiameng Pass, there are overlapping mountains and dangerous rocks and cliffs, which are very steep.
Liu Xin sat on the big tent, looked at the civil and military personnel standing on both sides, and asked with a smile: "Gongming, what is the current situation at Jiameng Pass? Please tell me."
Xu Huang stayed here for more than a year. Collecting information about Jiameng Pass has almost become his daily work. When Liu Xin asked, he raised his hands and said: "Going back to my lord, since the restoration of Chengdu, Jiameng Pass has been facing Shu."
The gate has never been opened again. However, the general has found out that there are 5,000 garrison guards at Jiameng Pass, all of whom are Liu Yan's old troops. After passing Jiameng Pass, there is a garrison of Zhang Lu, numbering 10,000.
The people and equipment for attacking the city are all ready, just waiting for the Lord's order."
Huang Zhong added at the side: "Back to my lord, I have been here for more than two months at the end of the year, and I have visited the pass several times. Although this pass is not as tall and majestic as Yique Pass, the terrain is more dangerous, and the road in front of the pass is very narrow.
It is difficult to deploy the city's troops and equipment, so it is only advisable to attack by surprise, not to take it by force."
However, Zhang Fei could no longer hold back and jumped out and said: "Brother, the main task of attacking Jiameng Pass this time will be given to our Second Army. I am willing to issue a military order to capture Jiameng Pass within three days, otherwise I will take the lead.
Come and see me!”
Wei Yan, Gao Shun, Wenpin and others also asked for battle.
Xu Huang said with a smile: "Han Sheng's concerns are very valid, and there is no need for Yide to be anxious. The master has already made arrangements for the capture of Jiameng Pass, and we will see the outcome tomorrow."
Liu Xin stood up and said: "No matter how dangerous Jiameng Pass is, it can't stop our Han soldiers from advancing. As long as everyone works together, the revival of the Han Dynasty will be just around the corner! Everyone goes back to camp to rest. Wait until dawn tomorrow. I invite everyone to come to the pass to join us.
