After dealing with Liu Xie and Wang Yue, Liu Yu was in a good mood.

Saving Liu Xie's life is Liu Yu's basic requirement, but fortunately, through Liu Yu's efforts, Liu Xie was protected. The surprise was that he could get Wang Yue's allegiance, which was unexpected by Liu Yu.

Liu Xie was arranged, and then Liu Yu had to deal with some internal matters.

"Pang Tong, you get out of here!" Liu Yu shouted.

Pang Tongyi saw that he knew that he had no good fruit to eat, so he came to Liu Yu with a little trembling, and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”

"Pang Tong, are you guilty?" Liu Yu asked with squinted eyes.

Pang Tong turned on the mode of pretending to be stupid, pretending not to understand, and asked weakly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have always been honest and loyal, and they have acted in accordance with Your Majesty's will, and they have not committed any crimes?" ”

"Still pretending to be stupid? Do you have to tell me about your sins before you admit it? "Liu Yu has important evidence in his hand, and he will not be fooled by Pang Tong.

"I really don't know what's going on." Pang Tong made up his mind not to change his mind.

"Good. It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. I don't talk nonsense with you. You disobey the decree and openly challenge my authority, do you think I don't know? Liu Yu didn't want to talk nonsense with Pang Tong, and he didn't pick out what he said.

Pang Tong was shocked by Liu Yu's caution, and his heart was shocked: Your Majesty's eyeliner is too much, and when he said that, he was surrounded by pro-soldiers and Zhou Cang, but His Majesty still knew about it and gave this difficulty first.

Pang Tong still pretended to be stupid, and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged." The minister is loyal to His Majesty, where will he disobey the order. Your Majesty, please be aware of it. ”

Liu Yu was very angry at Pang Tong's shameless denial, and shouted: "Bold! You're sarcastic! Come on, take Pang Shiyuan into me, and give him twenty military sticks!! ”

Two soldiers quickly appeared among the soldiers of Liu Jun and arrested Pang Tong.

After being caught, Pang Tong knew that he had gotten away, and Liu Yu made it clear that he wanted to punish him.

"Your Majesty think twice! Shi Yuan was guilty of what he said just now, please Your Majesty for the sake of Shi Yuan's unintentional mistake, spare him this time. Zhao Yun advised Liu Yu.

Except for Zhao Yun alone, no one else dared to advise Liu Yu. Zhou Cang stood aside like a log, he knew why Liu Yu wanted to punish Pang Tong. Pang Tong had vaguely said that he had done Liu Xie before, but Liu Yu had ordered that Liu Xie's safety must be guaranteed. By doing so, Pang Tong was challenging Liu Yu's authority. To put it more seriously, it is to deceive the king, and according to the law of the Han Dynasty, it will be beheaded all over the house. Pang Tong will be beaten with twenty military sticks when he says anything, but Zhou Cang has to do it himself, although it is attempted, it seems that this sin is greater than Pang Tong's. Now that Liu Yu's attention is on Pang Tong, Zhou Cang will not come out to share the firepower with Pang Tong.

"Needless to say! Pull it down, hit! Liu Yu did not accept Zhao Yun's advice, and directly waved his hand to let Pang Tong go down and be punished.

Seeing that Liu Yu was angry now, Pang Tongyi didn't dare to say a word, in case he angered Liu Yu, it would not be the end of the twenty military sticks.

Pang Tong was escorted down, and in order to take care of his poor self-esteem, Liu Yu did not carry out the execution in public, and asked the soldiers to find a place where there was no one to practice the military stick.

But here's the problem. The soldiers who escorted Pang Tong down were all Pang Tong's subordinates, and there was no one else to supervise them, so it was a bit intriguing for you to let these soldiers beat their bosses.

The soldiers in charge of the execution were all clever people, and they knew that Liu Yu meant to be pretentious. They know how to do it.

"Adult, I'll scream louder later, the little ones will be measured, and it will hurt a little bit to take it at the end, please bear with it." The executing soldier whispered.

Pang Tong understood in his heart, in this case, these twenty military sticks would be considered to be mixed.

The executing soldiers began to execute, and the military stick hit Pang Tong directly on the buttocks. Even if the soldiers collected a lot of strength, they hit Pang Tong's body, which made Pang Tong feel pain.

"You're light." Pang Tong didn't expect it to hurt so much.

The soldiers were depressed, they had already collected an unknown amount of strength, and it still hurt. If you want to kill people with a military stick, you only need a few sticks. Pang Tong's body bones can't be compared with the strong body of a general, so even if the soldiers collect their strength, Pang Tong can't stand it.

Playing and fighting, Pang Tong may be used to this pain, and it doesn't feel so painful. At the last moment, the soldiers narrowed their eyes and whispered, "One last time." ”

Pang Tong gritted his teeth and prepared to accept the last stick. This stick was the heaviest one, and the soldiers had beaten it with all their strength. If the last blow didn't exert force and didn't leave some scars on Pang Tong's body, these soldiers would have no way to explain like the above.

A hard blow hit Pang Tong's ass, even though Pang Tong was ready, the huge pain made him cry out in pain.

After the execution of the twenty military sticks, Pang Tong was re-escorted to Liu Yu. Pang Tong played enough tricks, and the whole person groaned a little, looking very painful.

Liu Yu knew that the soldiers would not really seriously injure Pang Tong, and knew that Pang Tong was pretending. Just pretend, just pretend, just a small punishment and a big commandment. After all, Liu Xie is alive and well now, Liu Yu can't kill a talent like Pang Tong, it's a big waste.

Zhao Yun hurriedly helped Pang Tong up, lest Pang Tong fall to the ground and commit the crime of disgrace in front of the monarch again.

Pang Tong glanced at Zhao Yun very gratefully, and sighed in his heart that only Zhao Yun would have such a Chicheng heart, like Li Gui and Zhou Cang, they were all motionless, and they didn't even come over to help.

"Did these twenty sticks clear your mind? Do you have any thoughts? Tell me about it, I want to hear it. Liu Yu asked.

"The minister knows his sins, and he must not dare." Pang Tong was a little helpless, beat others, and asked others to talk about whether they had any experience. What do people have to say?

In this way, Liu Yu cannot be satisfied.

"After the war is over, I will slowly settle accounts with you." Liu Yu said.

Pang Tong's heart tightened, this matter is not over yet.

Liu Yu looked at Zhou Cang, who hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Yu.

"There must be someone behind this kid, wait until I investigate clearly." Liu Yu thought in his heart: "These courtiers are really a headache, and they don't take me seriously. It seems that in the future, we will have to rectify this bad atmosphere. lest the tail be too big in the future. ”

As the situation in the world became more and more obvious, the hidden dangers on Liu Yu's side were revealed little by little. If you dare to disobey Liu Yu's holy decree now, you will dare to carry Liu Yu behind your back in the future and secretly do some shady deeds. At this time, Liu Yu could see it, but he didn't deal with it seriously because of the rarity of talents. This does not mean that Liu Yu will ignore such a thing.

He recorded all these things in his little notebook.

"Spread my will, and the whole army will march towards Shouchun!" Liu Yu ordered at Li Gui, Zhao Yun and the others.

"Yes!" Li Gui, Zhao Yun and others immediately responded.

Zhao Yun straightened out his soldiers and horses, and the whole army rushed towards Shouchun City. And Zhou Cang's part of the soldiers wearing Cao Jun's armor, in order to avoid being accidentally injured at that time, Liu Yu asked them to protect Liu Xie's safety.

Pang Tong also followed the brigade towards Shouchun.

"Shi Yuan, you have just been punished, I think it is better to arrange a few soldiers to take care of you, you can rest in the rear now." Zhao Yun said very intimately.

"Zilong, Your Majesty has gone to Shouchun. How could it be left alone in the next! To be able to contribute to His Majesty, this little injury is nothing! Pang Tong deliberately said it loudly, hoping that Liu Yu could hear it.

Zhao Yun saw that Pang Tong insisted, and also found that Pang Tong was fine, so he didn't say much.

The army marched towards Shouchun.

In the situation on Shouchun's side, Liu Jun has already occupied an absolute advantage.

When Cao Cao left the south gate and moved to the Shouchun Palace, the remaining troops of Cao's army at the south gate encountered the assault troops led by Lu Bu. Lü Bu went on a killing spree at the south gate, constantly reaping the lives of the defenders. In the end, Lu Bu found that no matter how he searched, he could not find any trace of Cao Cao and his generals. I caught a live mouth and knew that Cao Cao had already left.

Lu Bu could only secretly annoy that he was a little late.

The south gate was soon captured by Liu's army, and Huang Zhong's army climbed the city wall.

Huang Zhong and Jia Xu both successfully stepped on the wall of the South Gate.

"Son-in-law to meet father-in-law!" Lu Bu came to Huang Zhong as fast as he could.

"Bongxian, well done! Take Shouchun City, you should be the first credit! Huang Zhong praised Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was overjoyed, with Huang Zhong's words, it was better than anything else.

Jia Xu asked, "General Lu, is there any trace of Cao Cao?" ”

Huang Zhong also remembered, and echoed and said, "Fengxian, where did Cao Cao's gang go?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, Mr. Wenhe, Cao Cao's guy had already left the south gate with his minions before the son-in-law arrived, no matter how the son-in-law asked, the Cao soldiers said they didn't know. The son-in-law is incompetent! Lu Bu blamed himself very much.

Cao Cao was a big fish, but he ran away before Lu Bu arrived. That's a lot of work. As long as Lu Bu captures Cao Cao, or kills Cao Cao. If this credit is recorded, after Huang Zhong retires in the future, the position of the general will not be Lu Bu's? No matter how bad it is, at least this title can be raised to the next level.

Lu Bu had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly. No one would know that Lu Bu was thinking about the position of his father-in-law.

"If Cao Cao escapes, this will be a big problem." Huang Zhong groaned.

Jia Xu said calmly: "Don't worry, the general, Cao Cao will not escape." ”

"How can Mr. Wenhe be sure?" Huang Zhong asked.

"If Cao Cao wants to leave, he can leave long before our army comes to Shouchun. Cao Cao originally wanted to fight a decisive battle with our army in Shouchun, but he only knew that our army was unstoppable. In his humble opinion, Cao Cao should have gathered all his forces together at this time as a final counterattack. Jia Xu said confidently.

"With Cao Cao's character, it will really be like this." Huang Zhong said categorically.

At this time, a scout quickly came to Huang Zhong's side and said, "Back to the general, the scout found that Cao's army had gathered at the Shouchun Palace. ”

"How's Ma Chao at the North Gate?" Lu Bu is concerned about this issue.

The scout replied honestly: "Li Tong, the guard of the Cao army at the North Gate, is still resisting stubbornly. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Bu was happy. Ma Chao has not yet attacked Shouchun City, and when he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds after the war, Ma Chao was too far behind others. Ma Chao is usually very arrogant, Lu Bu is a little unaccustomed to it, but now seeing that Ma Chao has not made an inch, he has an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.

Li Tong at the north gate always pays attention to the situation of the entire Shouchun. No matter how tough Liu Jun's attack was, Li Tong was not afraid. Ma Chao outside the north city was restricted by the terrain and was unable to break through the north gate for a long time, and he was so depressed that he couldn't do it.

But the east gate was captured, Cao Cao abandoned the south gate, and at the same time sent Li Tong a military order to gather at the Shouchun Palace, and Li Tong knew that Shouchun City was going to end. Li Tong, who had always obeyed orders, did not obey Cao Cao's military orders this time. Could it be that Li Tong wants to throw himself at Liu Jun? Impossible, impossible in this life. Li informed that if he abandoned the north gate and gathered his troops at the Shouchun Palace, then Cao Cao would lose a way to live. Li informed Cao Cao that he wanted to die in Shouchun City, but as a subordinate, Li Tong felt that he should leave a way back for Cao Cao.

"I see, Cao Cao is planning to resist stubbornly in the palace!" Huang Zhong also understood.

Jia Xu waved his hand to let the scout go down, and suggested again: "Please also ask the general to attack the Shouchun Palace immediately." You know, nine times out of ten, that one is in the palace. ”

The meaning of the words is that Liu Xie is still in the palace, and Jia Xu hopes that Huang Zhong can speed up.

Huang Zhong understood what Jia Xu meant, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to kill the Shouchun Palace.

Lu Bu is even more at the forefront, and he will not give up any opportunity to fight.

When there were no other idle people waiting around, Huang Zhong quietly asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, why didn't His Majesty show up at this time, will there be any accidents?" ”

"General, I don't know even below. His Majesty has always been secretive, and he may not be able to say what he has planned. Jia Xu was also worried.

In fact, what worries Huang Zhong and Jia Xu the most is that Liu Yu was discovered by Cao Cao, and then held hostage by Cao Cao, so their army can only return in vain, and they have to face Cao Cao's countless demands.

And Huang Zhong and Jia Xu didn't know that Liu Yu had joined Liu Xie now, their calculations had failed, and there would not be the situation they feared the most.

"I hope it doesn't be like that." Jia Xu prayed in his heart.

Liu Jun's soldiers and horses continued to pour into Shouchun City, and fought street battles with Cao's army in Shouchun City.

Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, Cao Jun killed and wounded Liu Jun at a very small cost, constantly hindering the speed of Liu's army's advance. As the number of Liu's army continued to increase, Cao's army gradually became unable to hinder Liu's army with street fighting.

No one could reverse the situation of Liu's army capturing Shouchun.
