Jingyang City is located behind Longshan, and its role is similar to that of the Han army's Longde.

Since the Han and Wei dynasties fought over Longshan here a few years ago, and it became a frontier land, the people in the vicinity have already moved to the mainland in the past two years. Jingyang has also become a military fortress entirely.

After seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Liu Chan led his troops to Jingyang to wait for news.

At the end of the day, Zhao Yun escorted the Xiahou brothers to Jingyang.

A soldier entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, General Zhao has captured the Xiahou brothers, and now he is asking to see him outside." ”

At this moment, Liu Chan is already ready to rest, and he has not closed his eyes since he discovered Cao Zhen's treachery the day before yesterday.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Lock them up first, don't let them commit suicide, and I'll see them tomorrow." Let Zilong and the others go to rest first, they are also tired for a day. When the other generals returned, they also let them rest, and a place to rest was already prepared in the city. ”

"No!" The soldier retreated, and then reported back to Zhao Yun and the others.

Zhao Yun and the others were also very tired, so when they saw this, they handed over the Xiahou Rong brothers to the guards and went down to rest.

Then Ma Chao and other generals also returned one after another, seeing that Liu Chan had rested, and did not alarm him, until the next morning, after three poles of the sun, Liu Chan expected that the generals would rest, and then called the generals.

Jingyang City Mansion Palace.

Liu Chan sat in the first place, and the generals of the Han Dynasty sat on the left and right of the bottom.

Liu Chan ordered: "Bring that Xiahou Rong Xiahou to me." ”

"Get on your knees!"

However, after a long time, the soldiers escorted Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou Rong and the others came to the main hall.

The two were stubborn and ruthless, they refused to kneel, the soldiers pushed and kicked the back knees of the two, Xiahouba couldn't hold on to kneel and fell to the ground, and after kneeling, he didn't struggle, just lowered his head and was silent.

Only Xiahou Rong gritted his teeth and insisted, and looked at the soldiers angrily, but his injured body and his body were bound, he couldn't resist at all, and he was kicked a few times by the soldiers, and he also knelt down, but he was still struggling, and he had to be pressed by the soldiers.

The two of them had a cloth in their mouths to prevent suicide, so they couldn't speak.

Liu Chan waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take the cloth from their mouths.

"Liu Chan!" As soon as Bu Gang left his mouth, a roar came from Xiahou Rong's mouth, his eyes were red and he looked in the direction of Liu Chan, and his head was like a devouring beast. If he hadn't been pressed by the soldiers, he would definitely have pounced on Liu Chan.

And Xiahou Ba just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Seeing Xiahou Rong like this, Liu Chan's heart was full of happiness, Xiahou Rong had been living in hatred all these years, and revenge was his motivation. If the Han army is definitely going to kill him, Ling Bao is a column.

Fortunately, he was captured now and this scourge was eliminated, otherwise in the future, when he grows up, maybe someone else will break in his hands.

Liu Chan looked at Xiahou Rong and shouted: "Xiahou Rong, you killed me to conquer the south, and I was captured today, what else can I say?" ”

Xiahou Rong didn't speak, a pair of red eyes stared at Liu Chan, his teeth gurgling.

Liu Chan looked at Xiahouba again and said, "Xiahouba, what do you have to say?" ”

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" Xiahou Ba lowered his head and said.

"Push it out and cut it!" Liu Chan waved his hand.

"Hey!" Xiahou Ba sighed, didn't say anything, and let the soldiers escort him out.

Liu Chan could see that Xiahouba had the will to survive. But wanting to survive doesn't mean you will surrender. Xiahou Ba was unwilling to surrender or die, probably hoping that he could imprison him or something.

However, Xiahou Ba was not afraid of death, so when Liu Chan killed him, he did not beg for mercy, he was completely resigned to fate.

In fact, it is nothing to spare Xiahou Ba's life, but Xiahou Rong must be killed, if he kills Xiahou Rong, but spares Xiahou Ba, not only Xiahou Ba's reputation will be ruined, but Liu Chan will not worry about keeping this kind of person, so he simply kills him, all his loyalty.

Although Xiahou Ba in history surrendered to Shu Han, it was because of the Sima family's assumption of power, and Huang Zhong, who killed Xiahou Yuan at that time, had been dead for decades, and the hatred had long been gone.

But the current situation is different, the bones of Xiahou's father and son are not cold, the enemy is still there, and Xiahou Ba will not surrender.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Fei's wife Xiahou had died of a serious illness, and Zhang Fei didn't need to care about his wife's feelings, so he killed him.

But after a while, a scream came from outside the hall, and the soldiers entered the palace to report: "Your Majesty, the thief Xiahou Ba has been ambushed." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Bury it." ”

Liu Chan looked at Xiahou Rong again and said, "Xiahou Rong, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Xiahou Rong gritted his teeth and said: "I can't wait to eat Ru meat, sleep Ru skin, you will kill me if you have a kind, if you want to humiliate me, one day I will repay ten times as much." ”

"Humph!" Liu Chan snorted coldly and said: "The battlefield confrontation has its own destiny, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou is not as good as a person, and he lost his life at the hands of our army, you have nothing to do if you want to take revenge, General Ling, his martial arts are not as good as you, and he was killed by you, so you can only blame him for his bad life."

In order to take revenge, you want to eat my flesh and sleep on my skin, why not the generals of General Lingbud? Come on, go to the Ding Wok, cook Xiahou Rong, and give its meat to General Ling's generals to eat. ”

Liu Chan said that, and the soldiers escorted Xiahou Rong out.

The generals didn't say anything, Xiahou Rong wanted to eat Liu Chan's meat and sleep on Liu Chan's skin, so Liu Chan was not allowed to be ruthless?

Disposed of the Xiahou brothers, Liu Chan looked at the civil and military forces in the hall and said: "Everyone, now that Longshan has descended, Chang'an is in sight, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" ”

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Cao Rui, the pseudo-emperor of Wei, has arrived in Chang'an, and now that Cao Zhen has escaped, he will gather Huating, Meixian soldiers and horses to guard Chang'an."

Huating, Meixian is mostly foot soldiers, going to Chang'an is not a day's work, the last general asked for orders to lead the cavalry to Chang'an, and Cao Rui could be captured alive within five days. ”

Fa Zheng shook his head and said: "Cao Rui went to Chang'an, and also brought 20,000 Luoyang forbidden troops, which is considered the elite division of Wei, Chang'an City is a strong city in the world, a few years ago, the first emperor led his troops to attack Chang'an, Cao Cao managed Chang'an as solid as gold, enough to rank among the top three in the world."

The cavalry is not good at attacking the city, although they can reach Chang'an before Meixian and Huating soldiers and horses, but they can't take Chang'an. If the soldiers and horses of Huating in Meixian County arrived later and joined the defenders of Chang'an, what should they do? ”

Liu Chan nodded, affirming Fa Zheng's statement: "Hmm! Xiaozhi is very good, I don't know what Xiaozhi suggests? ”

Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "In that year, the first emperor led his troops out of the valley to attack Guanzhong, and after defeating Xiahou Yuan in Beiyuan, he swept through Guanzhong with the power of the return cannon, and fought until the city of Chang'an.

However, at that time, our army did not occupy Longyou, and the Wei army of Longyou attacked Jieting, and then threatened the Xiegu grain road, and the Wei army in the Central Plains came to support, resulting in the failure of the Northern Expedition.

Your Majesty has now occupied Longyou, and there is no need to worry about the danger of the grain road, but Wei still has soldiers and horses in the Central Plains, if Your Majesty directly leads troops to attack Chang'an, without first stabilizing all places, among which the original soldiers and horses are killed in the pass from elsewhere and threatens the rear of our army, what should we do?

Your Majesty should learn the lessons of the year, not be in a hurry, and should advance step by step. ”
