Liu Xie said excitedly. At this time, he still felt that he was in the clouds, but he did not notice that the soldiers around him were frowning, and there was no joy at all about becoming a general or being promoted.
"drive."
A large number of cavalry entered the woods. After the soldiers and horses in front passed by, the cavalry were still able to enter.
"See my lord." Zhao Yun dismounted and bowed to Liu Zhang.
Only then did Liu Xie realize that something was wrong. He had been so excited just now that he didn't realize that Zhao Yun had never dismounted, and that the other Sichuan soldiers had no intention of kneeling down.
Liu Xie frowned slightly, thinking that he would just make a note of it for the time being, and when he went back, he would definitely let these people know about etiquette and dignity.
When Liu Zhang saw Liu Xie standing by the lake, he frowned, but he immediately jumped off his horse and paid homage to Liu Xie: "I'm a humble minister, Liu Zhang. I'd like to see your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"See you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." Zhao Yun and other Sichuan army generals paid homage together.
Looking at Liu Zhang and the Sichuan soldiers who were bowing down to him, Liu Xie finally felt a little like being an emperor. He raised his hand and said to Liu Zhang: "Your Majesty, you are exempt from courtesy. My dear, please find me a driver as soon as possible."
In Liu Xie's view, Liu Zhang was his imperial uncle. When Concubine Dong Guifei was killed, he led his army out of Jingzhou and accepted his edict to punish thieves. He must be a loyal minister, so it was natural for him to give the order.
"It's dark in this barren mountain. Where can I find a car?" He muttered something fierce. Hearing Liu Xie's tone, even though he knew it was the emperor, he felt unhappy.
"Shut up." Liu Zhang scolded and said calmly to Liu Xie: "Yes, I obey your order."
Liu Zhang turned around and said to everyone: "You all go down and find a driver for His Majesty."
"Yes." Now all the soldiers were a little dissatisfied, but they still followed Liu Zhang's order and retreated. Zhao Yun and Liu Zhang's soldiers were left by the lake.
"My dear, let's get out quickly."
Liu Xie didn't want to stay in the woods, and thought of returning to the Xuchang Palace. When he became the real emperor, Liu Xie's heart almost flew out of his chest.
"Why do you need to go out, Your Majesty? The green mountains and green waters here are quite nice." Liu Zhang said lightly.
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment and obviously didn't react. He turned back to look at Liu Zhang: "What does Aiqing mean?"
Liu Zhang didn't say anything, and winked at Hao Sheng. Now everyone understood, even though everyone didn't like the emperor in front of him. He was still shocked, but then he was relieved. These were Liu Zhang's personal soldiers, and they were extremely loyal.
, let this emperor take over power. No one is convinced. Kill this emperor, no one sympathizes.
Liu Xie also reacted and said in horror: "Aiqing, Aiqing, you, are you going to rebel?"
Liu Xie's voice trembled. He looked at Liu Zhang in disbelief. Under such severe pressure, he kept retreating and fell onto a rock.
"You are a relative of the emperor. You must be loyal to the great man, my beloved...Okay, okay. Can I still be a puppet? Let me go, let me go..."
Liu Xie fell completely from the excitement just now. He realized that the imperial uncle in front of him was more terrifying than Cao Cao. He did not want to be a puppet, but really wanted to kill himself. If so, he would rather be a puppet.
But he was so powerful that he didn't stop at all and raised a heart-shaking sledgehammer.
Liu Zhang looked at this scene indifferently. He didn't want the Sichuan army to rescue Liu Xie at all. The best outcome would be that Liu Xie died in the rebel army.
Holding the emperor hostage to order the princes?
Let’s not talk about how many princes are still left. Whether they can order it or not, neither Sun Quan nor Cao Cao will act on the basis of an imperial edict without profit.
The biggest advantage of supporting the puppet emperor is to win trust and hope, but this trust and hope comes from the family. With the emperor, many orthodox celebrities will come to seek refuge.
But for the Sichuan Army, are there so many orthodox celebrities who have joined the Sichuan Army? Nowadays, the officials of the Sichuan Army are basically from poor families who have been trained and passed the four-level civil service examination. What does it have to do with the family?
The noble family would not come to Liu Zhang to seek refuge with him. Even if there was an emperor, those people would come all the time? It would be too naive.
It can be said that Liu Xie, the puppet emperor, did no good to Liu Zhang.
What really made Liu Zhang decide to kill was not because there were no benefits, but because the harm was too great.
Liu Xun will soon be in charge of the Sichuan Army. Liu Xun's character is not weak, but at least he is kind. For such a son, it will be difficult for him to control the arrogant and powerful generals of the Sichuan Army, let alone become a powerful minister.
People like Cao Cao held the emperor hostage and were rebelled many times. How could Liu Xun do it? He might have been assassinated by those who wanted to support Liu Xie.
If Liu Xie is here, Liu Zhang will not worry even if he dies, so Liu Xie must die.
And Liu Zhang also believed that Liu Xie's death here would not cause much trouble in the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army was not mainly composed of aristocratic families. It was Liu Zhang who promoted them. They were not as loyal and patriotic as the descendants of the aristocratic clans. They were all loyal ministers to Liu Zhang.
The concept of true loyalty to the emperor is much weaker.
Even if there are a few people who are loyal to the emperor, they can't cause much trouble, such as Zhao Yun. Liu Zhang kept Zhao Yun just to see his reaction.
After killing Liu Xie, he must cover up, but it is impossible to cover up Zhao Yun who is in the woods. Instead of deceiving him, it is better to kill the temptation in front of him.
Until he finally raised the sledgehammer, Zhao Yun didn't make any move, quietly looking at the lake under the night light.
"stop."
Zhao Yun didn't respond, a female voice sounded, and a pretty woman rode a bad horse in from the woods and hurried in. Liu Zhang saw the person clearly.
He frowned, why is Fu Shou here at this time? What are the soldiers outside doing?
But Liu Zhang soon knew that it was not the soldiers' fault. The soldiers outside did not know that he wanted to kill the emperor. Fu Shou was the queen. Liu Zhang treated the queen with great courtesy when he was in Guanzhong. As long as he showed his identity, the soldiers would definitely let him go.
"Liu Zhang, what do you want to do?"
Fu Shou jumped off his horse and saw Liu Xie raising a sledgehammer so powerfully. Liu Xie had a horrified expression on his face. Fu Shou looked at Liu Zhang angrily. Since joining the Sichuan Army, Fu Shou has never called Liu Zhang's name. This is the first time he has called Liu Zhang by name.
Once, I also saw how angry Fu Shou was.
"This..." Hao Sheng put away the sledgehammer, glanced at Fu Shou, and then looked at Liu Zhang awkwardly.
Others don't know the relationship between Liu Zhang and Fu Shou. It's amazing, but it's clear. Although the two treat him as air when they are together, he is not air after all. Now that the wife-to-be has come out, her face is full of anger. It's amazing that he hesitates.
.
"Don't worry about her." Liu Zhang said calmly.
After hearing these words, he was convinced and immediately wanted to hit him again. Fu Shou suddenly pounced on Liu Xie and looked at Liu Zhang with anger and disbelief in his eyes.
"Liu Zhang, are you crazy? This is the emperor, and you are a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can you kill the emperor? Are you crazy? He is still your nephew, how can you kill him?"
Fu Shouji screamed hysterically. She never expected that Liu Zhang would actually attack Liu Xie. She chased him all the way, worried that Liu Xie would have an accident at the hands of Cao Jun. As long as the Sichuan army rescued him, he would be safe.
But he never expected that it was the Sichuan army and Liu Zhang who really wanted to kill Liu Xie. Until now, Fu Shou was confused, but he couldn't tolerate Liu Zhang's move to kill Liu Xie.
No matter who he pretends to be, Liu Xie is still his husband, not to mention that he betrayed him, I feel sorry for him, and I want to save his life.
"Queen, step aside."
Liu Zhang still spoke calmly, but Fu Shou felt despair from his calm tone.
Suddenly, Fu Shou fell on Liu Xie and said to Hao Qiang: "Good general, if you want to kill the emperor, kill me first."
"This..." It's so powerful and embarrassing.
At this moment, a silver spear was suddenly handed over, passed through Fu Shou's force, and pierced Liu Xie's throat. He pulled it out, and blood splashed all over Fu Shou's face.
Fu Shou was surprised, and the dying Liu Xie was surprised. He looked at the owner of the silver spear blankly, and Liu Zhang was also startled.
Only Zhao Yun was as calm as water with his silver spear, as if he had just solved a problem. Zhao Yun did not want to pursue Liu Xie since he came, and he also felt that the Sichuan army and his lord did not need Liu Xie at all, and did not agree to divide the troops.
It was just that he was a little unsure about Liu Zhang's thoughts, so he chased after him. At this time, Liu Zhang signaled that he would kill someone fiercely. Zhao Yun didn't know that Liu Zhang had the same idea as him, so he immediately took a gun and killed Liu Xie, saving him the trouble of grinding and chirping.
Fu Shou's head buzzed, and he looked at Liu Xie who had long since expired with a big hole in his neck. He didn't believe this fact at all. He didn't believe that the emperor died like this. He didn't believe that the Sichuan army really killed the emperor. He couldn't stand the excitement.
, fainted all of a sudden.
"Listen." Liu Zhang quickly calmed down and said in a serious voice: "Cao's army, Sima Yi, drove the emperor to induce our army to divide our troops. In order to fulfill Sima Yi's order and prevent our army from rescuing the emperor, Chief Sima Ding of the Sima family served the emperor as a reward for his disobedience.
After being seriously injured and unconscious, he suddenly burst out and killed the emperor."
"yes."
Zhao Yun was very powerful and Liu Zhang's soldiers agreed together. Liu Zhang ordered the soldiers to carefully carry away the emperor, and also told the soldiers outside the woods the cause of Liu Xie's death. Then he sent Liu Xie back to Chang'an and was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum of the Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Zhang rode out of the woods on horseback, and Zhao Yun whispered: "My lord, it's best to kill Fu Shou as well."
Liu Zhang glanced at Zhao Yun, and now he completely knew that this Zhao Yun was different from the one he had in mind, and he always felt that it was a conspiracy.
Liu Zhang slowly shook his head: "I will handle it."
The greatest use of Fu Shou is that after Liu Xie's death, he can temporarily deter state affairs in the name of the queen. Of course, this is when Fu Shou surrenders.
Ma Chao and Wang Shuang failed to break through the Yingshui defense line that day. General Xu Huang and Yanzhou reinforcements arrived at Yingshui the next day. Ma Chao and Wang Shuang attacked the servants again. Since the river bridge had long been broken, the servants were attacked by the powerful Sichuan army.
In the end, they were defeated and the entire army was annihilated on the shore of Yingshui.
However, Xu Huang had already set up camp on the other side and set up defenses with Sima Yi who was crossing the river on a raft. It can be expected that Yu Jinmao Jutian's reinforcements from Youzhou will also arrive in Yuzhou in a few days.
