Chapter 331: Wanting to Cover Up

With a little panic in his expression, Hu Chi'er pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, subconsciously took two steps back, and asked Dong Xian very vigilantly: "Why is General Dong aggressive?" If the last general is defeated, he will ask General Niu for his guilt......"

"With an army of more than 10,000 people, General Hu led it out of the city, but only brought back two people!" Dong Xian took two steps forward, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, his slightly narrowed eyes flashed a touch of murderous intent in an instant, and said coldly to Hu Chi'er: "General Hu still thinks that General Niu will meet you?" ”

"I want to see General Niu!" Facing the aggressive Dong Xian, Hu Chi'er took two steps back, and the two soldiers behind him also pressed the hilt of their swords, looking at Dong Xian who was approaching them very vigilantly.

"Take it!" Dong Xian only took two steps forward before he stopped, waved his hand at the group of soldiers who followed behind him, his face suddenly gloomy, and he snorted.

More than 100 soldiers responded in unison, ran forward quickly, and surrounded Hu Chi'er and the two soldiers behind him.

Drawing out his long sword, Hu Chi'er and the two soldiers who followed him were back to back, looking around at the soldiers who surrounded them, knowing that they would die if they fell into the hands of Dong Xian, Hu Chi'er, who was almost desperate, howled miserably: "Who dares to come up?" ”

Hu Chi'er is the person next to Niu Fu, and in the past, he also had an absolutely high status among the generals. Compared with Dong Xian, he is almost a negligible figure, don't say Hu Chi'er, even if he is a general around Niu Fu, he is much more noble than him.

Now although Hu Chi'er is defeated, no one can say whether Niu Fu will put him to death. Therefore, although the officers and soldiers who followed Dong Xian were ordered by Dong Xian, they only surrounded Hu Chi'er and others, and did not immediately come forward to capture them.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that the officers and soldiers only surrounded Hu Chi'er and did not come forward to capture him, Dong Xian was also a little flustered in his heart, for fear that it would be delayed for a long time, and it would reach Niu Fu's ears, and he hurriedly shouted to the more than 100 officers and soldiers: "Hurry up!" ”

Although these more than 100 officers and soldiers still did not dare to step forward easily, under Dong Xian's urging, they had to obey the order, and many of them had already taken a step forward and put on a posture to capture Hu Chi'er and others.

"Slow down!" Holding a long sword, surrounded by more than 100 officers and soldiers, Hu Chi'er was already on the verge of despair, and his legs trembled slightly.

Hearing the hooves of horses and the shouts of people, Dong Xian hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, only to see more than a dozen fast horses rushing towards them. ”

When Hu Chi'er led the army to fight with the Luoyang army, Dong Xian, who was standing at the head of the city, saw the whole process clearly.

The Luoyang army on the mountain is like a red torrent, no matter who looks at it, he will definitely not think that there are only a few thousand.

brought back a fake military report, resulting in the army of more than 10,000 people being completely annihilated by the Luoyang army. Dong Xian knew that he couldn't afford this charge, and it was from then on that he had the idea of intercepting and killing Hu Chi'er if he returned.

What made Dong Xian a little unexpected was Niu Fu, who was confused on weekdays, but this time he didn't get confused, and when he learned that Hu Chi'er was defeated and returned to the city, he hurriedly sent someone to greet him.

"General Dong!" More than a dozen horsemen approached, and the first general clasped his hands into fists, arched towards Dong Xian, and said to him: "General Niu has an order, and he ordered me to come and take General Hu back!" ”

"Ugh!" Looking up at the general who was speaking, Dong Xian was stunned for a moment, and then arched his fist towards the general, and said with a smile: "The last general ordered people to surround General Hu, and he also wanted to capture him and send it to General Niu for disposal......

"General Hu's charges have not yet been established!" Before Dong Xian's words fell, the general pursed his lips and said to him in a somewhat weird manner: "General Dong said that it is probably a little inappropriate to capture General Hu, right......?" ”

was robbed by the general, Dong Xian didn't dare to argue, bowed down and took two steps back to the side, seeing that the general led a few cavalrymen and took away Hu Chi'er and the two soldiers who returned from the battlefield.

Looking at the back of Hu Chi'er being helped by a cavalryman to get on the war horse and gradually move away, fine beads of sweat oozed from Dong Xian's forehead.

If Niu Fu learned that the main force of the Luoyang Army outside the city was the main force, I am afraid that Dong Xian would not only lose the position of the general, but also the head of Xiang Shang would be cut off by Niu Fu and hung on the city gate.

At the same time, on the mountainside of the hill outside the city.

Liu Wei crossed his hands on his hips and stood in front of thousands of Xiliang army soldiers who were standing upright and lined up in a phalanx, his eyes wandering back and forth over these men in dark black armor.

Behind him, only Guan Qing and a dozen guards stood. If the Xiliang army surrendered at this time and intended to do something wrong to him, with Guan Qing and others, they would not be able to deal with it at all.

This move seems to be a bit risky, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, it is Liu Wei who has completely regarded them as his own and has not taken the slightest precaution against them.

"Soldiers!" Looking around at the Xiliang Army, Liu Wei always maintained a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and shouted to them: "Two or three hours ago, you were still the Xiliang Army that was opposed to this king!" Who would have thought that in just two or three hours, the king of Luoyang, who was originally opposed to you, would become a comrade standing in the same array with you? ”

When Liu Wei shouted the words "comrade", the eyes of all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army instantly widened.

They had been soldiers for many years, and many of them had even experienced countless battles, but there had never been a general who could speak to them from the standpoint of their comrades, not to mention that Liu Wei was still a member of the Han clan who was the king of Luoyang.

"Two or three hours ago, a lot of people died in battle!" Looking away from the faces of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the bulges on the mountainside where the soil was very fresh, and said to the soldiers of the Xiliang Army with a bit of compassion in his tone: "Whether it is the Xiliang Army who died in battle, or the Luoyang Army who died in battle, they should not have died......

When Liu Wei said this, a trace of astonishment appeared on the faces of all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and they didn't know what he would say next.

"The Han family is weak, and the strong are everywhere!" Liu Wei turned his head, his eyes returned to the Xiliang army soldiers lined up in the phalanx, and said to them: "The people are living in dire straits, the fields are barren, the harvest has been poor for many years, and the soldiers are fighting for some reason!" ”

Speaking of the latter, Liu Wei's emotions were a little more excited, and his tone was also a lot more depressed, he suddenly raised his arm, pointed at the several bulges where thousands of corpses were buried, and asked the soldiers of the Xiliang army: "Do you know why they died?" ”

All the soldiers of the Xiliang army looked at each other, and after a long time, an officer muttered and answered: "In order to fill the stomach......"

"Yes!" As soon as the officer's words fell, Liu Wei nodded his head and said to all the soldiers of the Xiliang army: "There have been many soldiers who have told this king that fighting is to fill their stomachs. But this king wants to ask you, you have filled your stomachs, what about your family? What about your parents, your wives and your children? Will they be able to fill their stomachs? Is your life worth only one meal that fills your stomach? ”

When Liu Wei asked this sentence, all the soldiers of the Xiliang army were stunned.

Many of them have not returned home, and some have even forgotten that they still have families.

People are ruthless, who has never had relatives? Liu Wei's words poked at the sore spot of the Xiliang army's surrender, many people slowly lowered their heads, and some even had flickering tears in their eye sockets.

"We are full, don't forget our parents, wives and children in our hometown, and don't forget the poor people who are still struggling to survive!" Looking around at the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, Liu Wei said to them with a bit of sentimentality in his tone: "The Great Han clan is declining, and the heroes from all walks of life are rising, but the heroes just want to occupy this infinite country and the wealth of the world!" Who has ever really thought about the people? Even you, I'm afraid, have all had the blood of the people on your hands......"

"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei's words were finished, one of the soldiers of the Xiliang army had already run out crying, kneeling at the front of the array with a "poof", almost crying and saying: "My parents in my family were both killed by Hulu, and when I came to the Central Plains, I also killed the people. Hearing His Royal Highness's words, I thought of my parents...... I ...... in my heart."

Only halfway through the words, the Xiliang army soldiers who ran out were already crying, he knelt on the ground, turned his face to the side, closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of turbid tears had involuntarily slid down his cheeks.

The thousands of soldiers of the Xiliang Army standing behind the man were also touched by the man, and they knelt down one after another, and in an instant, the cries of repentance were connected, and the entire hill was shrouded in a depression.

"You're going to cry, that's good!" Liu Wei nodded, raised his hand to the thousands of Xiliang soldiers kneeling in front of him, and said to them: "In the past, you didn't know why you were fighting, but this king will tell you today!" The reason why you have taken up weapons is to put an end to the injustice in the world, so that more people like your parents, wives and children will no longer suffer! ”

All the soldiers of the Xiliang army stopped crying and straightened up, a pair of eyes that were still flashing tears stared at Liu Bian, there was silence on the mountainside, after Liu Bian's shout fell, except for the sound of the wind and the soft sound of rustling grass and leaves, there was no other movement.

"This king believes in you!" After looking around and kneeling on the ground, all of them still had tears on their faces, Liu Wei dropped a sentence, pressed the hilt of his sword and turned around and walked towards the mountain.

Guan Qing and the dozen or so Luoyang soldiers who were standing behind Liu Wei also hurriedly followed Liu Wei and walked to the top of the mountain.

Staring at the back of Liu Wei leaving, until he was about to reach the top of the slope, an officer of the Xiliang Army suddenly stood up and shouted to the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were kneeling around: "Brothers, we have caused so many injustices, and Your Highness still takes care of us like this, how should we repay Your Highness?" ”

"The world is uneven, and you don't hesitate to break your bones!" Another officer stood up, raised his arms in the air, and shouted.

"The world is uneven, and you don't hesitate to break your bones!" All the Xiliang army soldiers stood up, raised their arms in unison and shouted.

Bursts of shouts spread from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and Liu Wei, who had already reached the top of the mountain, turned his head and looked at the soldiers of the Xiliang Army standing on the mountainside, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
