Han Dao world

"Isn't this what you hoped for?" Li Jue laughed even louder. "I wanted him to watch me capture you alive, but I didn't expect the opposite. Let him watch you capture me alive. Hehe, Guo Si has a spirit underground, so he must be smiling happily. But he is an idiot. I hope he dies. Little emperor, are you happy that you won?"

Liu Xie looked at Li Jue quietly and shook his head. "No, I'm not happy at all."

"Really?" Li Jue pouted. "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're even more pretending."

"Whether it's you, Guo Duo, or even Dong Zhuo, they were all warriors for the peace of the country, but now they have come to this point and become a rebellious minister who harmed the country and the people. This is not only your sorrow, but also the sorrow of Liangzhou, and it is even more of a big man. What is there to be happy about when you are sad?"

Li Jue's laughter stopped abruptly, and a gleam of clarity flashed in his crazy eyes.

"Do you also know that we were once warriors for the country?"

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle." Liu Xie nodded. "If I don't even know this, how can I get Jia Wenhe's assistance, how can I get Duan Zhongming's support?"

Li Jue sat back down. "But I must die."

"Yes, you must die." Liu Xie clenched the sword in his hand. "Liangzhou army killed innocent people, Zhongyuan was burned to ashes, Luoyang was burned to ashes, millions of people died in ravines, Guanzhong has more than one out of ten people, someone must take responsibility for this."

He put the long knife on Li Jue's shoulder. "So, you and Guo Si must die. Only in this way can the people of Liangzhou stand in court."

Li Jue stared into Liu Xie's eyes and let out a long breath.

"What His Majesty Ming said is very true. Those who kill people will always be killed, and the minister deserves death. I... have a request, and I implore His Majesty Ming to grant it."

"Say."

"When writing history in the future, please, Your Majesty Ming, don't forget what you said today. When recording your crimes, don't forget that you have made great contributions to the country."

Liu Xie nodded solemnly. "A merit is a merit, a fault is a fault, it should be clear."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Jue knelt down, bowed to Liu Xie three times, then turned to the northwest, bowed three times, then straightened his body and closed his eyes. "Your Majesty Ming, please behead your ministers and hang them in the North Tower."

Liu Xie raised his saber, and blood slid down the blade.

"Is there any last words?"

Li Jue thought for a moment. "I am willing to be under the nine springs, I wish my children from Liangzhou to stand side by side with the talents of the Central Plains, and never abandon them."

Li Jue lowered his head, stretched his neck, and waited to be killed.

"Definitely." Liu Xie yelled loudly, and the long knife came down with electricity.

Li Jue's head fell to the ground and rolled twice on the ground, touching Guo Bang's eyes.

-

Li Huan looked back in astonishment, looking at Zhongjun, his heart was cold.

Li Jue's battle flag has disappeared.

The emperor's battle flag fluttered in the wind.

Unexpected, but reasonable.

No matter how strong a minister is, he is still a minister, and no matter how weak a ruler is, he is still a ruler.

What's more, the ministers who have betrayed their relatives, how can they be invincible in the face of the emperor who bears the destiny.

The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to fight again.

After hesitating for a few breaths between retreat and surrender, Li Huan raised his hand, gave the order to surrender, and lowered the battle flag.

The horn sounded, and the Xiliang army, which was already on the verge of collapse, quickly put down their weapons and fell to their knees.

Wei Jie advanced quickly, drove Tian Changchang straight in, rushed in front of Li Huan, kicked Li Huan over, and knocked him down.

Li Huan tied his hands.

-

"Your Majesty has won—" the nobleman Song Du screamed, raised his arms, and jumped three feet high.

Empress Fushou turned her head and glanced at Song Du. "Your Majesty won?"

"Victory, Your Majesty has won." Song Du couldn't contain his excitement, he hugged Fudu, laughing and shouting. "Look, look, Xiliang soldiers surrendered, Xiliang soldiers surrendered, His Majesty won."

Fu Shou also reacted, unable to restrain the love in his heart, tears welled up in his eyes.

The moment the emperor came out, she was both excited and nervous, for fear that the emperor would have any accidents.

At this moment, she could finally let go of her worries and smile happily.

"Your Majesty has won—" Ding Yi raised her arms and screamed.

More children followed suit. "Your Majesty has won, long live Your Majesty."

"Long live—long live—"

In a blink of an eye, there was a neat cheer from the top and bottom of Yuan, and countless people laughed and danced, venting their joy to their heart's content.

Since Dong Zhuo entered the capital, there have been countless tragedies in the past five or six years, and the people are in dire straits. This is the first time that the imperial court has defeated the Xiliang army, and it was under the extremely unfavorable situation due to the huge disparity in military strength.

No matter how calm you are, you can't be calm, no matter how reserved you are, everyone is cheering and celebrating.

Tang Ji and Cai Yan exchanged glances, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

They looked at each other with a smile, raised their hands in unison, and joined the team of celebration.

"Long live--"

Chapter 139 The Aftermath

Liu Xie sat down, leaning on the long knife in his hand, but staring at Li Jue's head that rolled to the ground.

The battle is over, but he is not relaxed at all, and his mood is even heavier.

The victory was a fluke.

If Li Jue and Guo Sihuo hadn't been seriously injured at the same time, he might not have been able to wait for this opportunity.Even if there was a chance to face each other, it was he who fell down in the end, not Li Jue.

Why did Guo Bang and Li Jue get along with each other?Because he wanted to atone for his crime.

In fact, Guo Si is not the only one who wants to make amends, and Li Jue is the same.From the beginning to the end, Li Jue had no intention of killing the king, he just wanted to coerce him and continue to occupy Guanzhong.

He didn't even dare to hope to command the world.

It's just that he can't look back.

This is where he is smarter than Guo Si.

Guo Si didn't know that he was doomed, and thought he had a chance to redeem his crimes, so he took the initiative to attack, triggering this great battle.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized Jia Xu's original intention of "only Li Jue will not be pardoned".

He knew Li Jue and Guo Si very well, and knew that Li Jue would not be fooled.

There may be discrepancies in the details, but the development direction of the matter has always been in Jia Xu's plan.

"Your Majesty..." Ding Chong rushed over, wearing a short coat and carrying a long knife.

Seeing Li Jue's head on the ground, he swallowed, feeling a little sorry.

Not long ago, he almost cut off Li Jue's head.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xie raised his head.

"General Ning Ji, please see me."

Liu Xie stood up and looked at Duan Yan standing not far away, standing upright.Seeing him looking over, Duan Yan bowed his hands in salute.

Liu Xie nodded and signaled Ding Chong to invite Duan Yao to come.

Behind Duan Yao stood thousands of pacers, and no one could stop him when he wanted to come over.The reason for doing this is naturally to show respect and not dare to take credit for pride.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xie picked up his mood and hid his thoughts in his heart.

Duan Yan walked over quickly, bowed his hands when he was far away, and took small steps quickly, when he walked in front of Liu Xie, he just bowed down and bowed down.

"General Ning Ji, Chen Yao, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Wanan, I am late to rescue you, and you will be punished with death."

Liu Xie smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to help. "The general is humble. Without the general's full support, I would not be where I am today. I am so lucky that Li Jue is the leader. The general is a man of merit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Duan Yao was satisfied.He glanced at Li Jue's head and spit. "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can punish them, and I can't wait to kill them. Your Majesty the Labor will fight in person, and take risks with your own body. I really feel ashamed."

Liu Xie agreed, and took up the topic thrown by Duan Yan. "Where is General Hussars? At this moment, he doesn't have other fantasies, does he?"

Duan Yan smiled. "Your Majesty used his troops like a god, charged with a hundred horses, and beheaded Li Jue. This is a man blessed by God. No matter how stupid Zhang Ji is, he should know the destiny. If he is still obsessed with obsession, I should ask for an imperial edict to arrest him and come to see him."

As he spoke, he pointed. "Here, isn't that Zhang Jicongzi Zhang Xiu?"

Liu Xie followed Duan Yan's hand and saw a hundred paces away, a group of cavalry were holding the reins of their horses and holding spears, looking this way. A man in his early thirties, nearly eight feet tall, was bowing his hands and saluting. .

Liu Xie ignored him. "The general came from the south, how did Li Ying react?"

"Li Ying was intimidated by His Majesty's heavenly prestige, and closed the camp."

"Have you ever seen the servant Yang Xiu?"

"Yang Xiu is ordered to be in the Hussar General's camp at this moment." Duan Yan briefly described Yang Xiu's affairs, and specifically mentioned that Yang Xiu asked him for advice on the battle situation. "Yang Shilang is worried about His Majesty's safety, so he must be very anxious. I took the liberty of this minister and sent someone to report to reassure him."

Liu Xie glanced at Duan Yan, smacked his lips, and stopped talking.

Did you inform Yang Xiu?You clearly informed Zhang Ji.

"The general still has a big picture in his mind. I haven't thought about it yet. If that's the case, how about I trouble the general to go and persuade Li Ying to surrender?"

Duan Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed to accept the order.

Watching Duan Yao leave, Liu Xie immediately called Ding Chong and pointed to Zhang Xiu. "Go and call Zhang Xiu to see him, and then go to Li Jue's camp to persuade him to surrender. Be sure to control all of Li Jue's belongings, and no one is allowed to get involved."

Ding Chong understood, found his Confucian uniform, regardless of the blood on it, dusted it, put it on his body, led a horse, came to Zhang Xiu, and delivered the edict, ordering him to come in alone.

Zhang Xiu put the spear on the ground, handed over the horse to the guards, tidied up his clothes, took off Hu Feng's head from the saddle, and walked towards Liu Xie.Halfway there, he realized that Ding Chong didn't turn back with him, but ran to the southwest instead, regretting it secretly.

Needless to say, Ding Chong was the general who had gone to persuade to surrender and stayed behind in the camp to receive Li Jue's Chinese army.

After all, I was still one step slower.

Zhang Xiu walked up to Liu Xie, bowed down, offered Hu Feng's head with both hands, and reported his official position and name.

Liu Xie made a look, Shi A stepped forward, took Hu Feng's head, and placed it with Li Jue.

"I had an imperial edict before with General Hussars, to worship the general as Habayashi Churo General. I don't know if the general is willing."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said a few words modestly. "My minister, He Dehe Neng, has been wrongly loved by His Majesty, and is willing to serve His Majesty, even if he dies."

He originally thought that the emperor would turn his face and deny it, and even thought of using Hu Feng's head as a gift, but he didn't expect the emperor to mention it as soon as he met, which saved him a lot of tongue.

"I heard that General Hussar has no son and treats you like his own son. Is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty's words are very true. General Hussars treats his ministers as if they were his own."

"General Hussars is old and strong, and he has a lovely wife. Maybe one day he will have his own son again. I'm afraid that this title may not be passed on to you." Liu Xie laughed twice. "General, you have to work hard and earn a meritorious service yourself."

Seeing the emperor with a teasing tone, Zhang Xiu looked embarrassed, and Wei Wei responded with a smile.

Liu Xie deliberately dragged Zhang Xiu and chattered about it, guessing that Ding Chong was about to arrive at Li Jue's camp, so he gave up.

It was getting late, the battlefield had returned to calm, countless torches were lit, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.

Scholars Sun Rui and Wei Jie came and invited Liu Xie back to the camp.

"It's a hard job for Weiwei here." Liu Xie got up and stepped on the horse. "I will go back to the camp and organize a celebration banquet for Wei Wei."

Shi Sun Rui felt ashamed. "Respectfully send off your Majesty, I am ashamed and dare not be ashamed."

Liu Xie waved his hand, lightly kicked the horse's belly, took a few steps forward, reined in his mount, turned around and waved to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu trotted to Liu Xie's horse. "What is His Majesty's order?"

"Wait for General Hussars to come, and come to see me with him."

"Wei." Zhang Xiu raised his brows with joy and agreed repeatedly.

The emperor wanted to see Zhang Ji, so naturally he would not hold Zhang Ji accountable.

Sun Rui and Wei Jie heard clearly, exchanged glances, and sighed in unison.

"Wei Wei." Liu Xie said again.

Master Sun Rui hurried over. "His Majesty?"

"Send someone to the rear general's camp to see how he is and why he didn't attack. If he is all right, let him come to see me, and the soldiers in the camp will be under the supervision of the Wei Wei for the time being."

Sun Rui was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.
