Under Zhao Wen's persuasion, Dong Cheng did not doubt that he had, and calmly entered the palace to meet the saint.

Liu Xie was also very restrained. Although he gave weapons to some eunuchs, he kept them very well and had no intention of attacking them.

Liu Xie prepared eunuchs just to prevent him from protecting himself. For example, if Liu Xie really thought that Dong Cheng was wrong, Dong Cheng would not even dare to be tied up and removed from his military power when acting. If he wanted to resist and hostage the king, he would have to use armed eunuchs.

It's better not to use it.

There is nothing to elaborate on the process of meeting the saint. Liu Xie also talked about his own difficulties and sincerely bowed and thanked Dong Cheng, who was a minister, as he said:

"Uncle, the safety of the Han Dynasty is all in your hands. I want to follow Emperor Jing's determination to pacify the seven kingdoms, but I will never do anything to cook the birds with all their bows.

This time, I just asked you to pretend to be bound, and I personally went to Yique Pass to show it, breaking the great righteousness of Yuan Shu's northern expedition, forcing Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops, and destroying his morale. If the Han Dynasty can be safe for a long time, it will not forget the great kindness of the country's uncle."

Dong Cheng's neck twitched for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill. The back grooves couldn't help but clenched, and his nasolabial folds became deeper and deeper. His old face was almost as ravines as the weathered Yadan landform.

After a few seconds of convulsions in the face and neck muscles, Dong Cheng controlled his emotions and agreed: "I received the order, but I have a saying that I will not speak up: The timing of this incident is too coincidental, and Yuan Shu sent troops less than two months after the general passed away.

Even if Your Majesty acts like this, it will only be a blow to the morale of Yuan Shu's army and make his soldiers flee with each other. It is impossible for Yuan Shu to turn back. However, even if it is just to disintegrate some of the enemy's morale, what is the point of being humiliated? It is worth it. I only ask Your Majesty, if there is any trouble, he will immediately retreat to Luoyang City and send a messenger to support him."

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief: "My uncle is very wise, and I will definitely follow this arrangement. In addition, I have sent someone to Hongnong first and ask Duan Weiwei to send some reinforcements first."

It was too late to discuss that day. Considering that Yique Pass could at least stay for more days, Liu Xie, as the emperor, would not have been in a hurry to ride a horse to travel at night.

Besides, even if he arrived overnight and had a bad view at night, Liu Xie personally went to the wall to shout, and the enemy troops in the distance could not see his ceremonial ceremony. Maybe Yuan Shu would give him the opportunity to refuse to admit that he was the emperor and ordered the troops to speed up the attack.

As for hoping that Yuan Jun would see his face clearly, it would be impossible. As long as he got so close, Liu Xie was still afraid that any dead soldier among the enemy would pretend to shake his hand and shoot him to death.

There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Liu Xie got up early. It was just half past Mao and it was still dark. So he summoned thousands of guards in charge of the palace to escort him, took Zhao Wen and Zhang Yi and Dong Cheng who were pretending to be tied up and rode a horse to Yique Pass.

Dong Cheng's army did not have a large number of cavalry. He gathered three thousand cavalry and nearly a thousand eunuchs, palace servants and officials' escorts, a total of nearly four thousand people, winding towards Yique Pass. He rode his horse for more than an hour, and it was dawning at Yique Pass.

After arriving at the pass, Liu Xie and Dong Cheng looked at it and were secretly shocked: Yique Pass had only been attacked for two or three days at most, and it actually looked a little broken.

How many troops did Yuan Shu army invest in? Why did it progress so quickly? Although it is not as majestic and famous as Hulao Pass, it is still one of the eight passes of Luoyang!

Liu Xie wanted to go up to the wall to shout, but he had to take a little time and energy to ask the generals guarding the pass.

The general guarding the gate was a general of Dong Cheng's faction, named Wang Fu, and was appointed as a general. He was one of the accomplices who were killed in the Belt Edict case with Dong Cheng in history. He was considered his confidant.

Liu Xie asked earnestly: "How is the current battle in Yique Pass? Why is the wall so broken?"

Wang Fu sighed indignantly: "Your Majesty, Ji Ling used a counterweight trencher. It was said that it was the same weapon as when the Grand Sima attacked the Chang'an City guarded by the thief Li Jue.

What I should have thought of long ago is that the Grand Sima defeated Li Jue two and a half years ago. There were so many military generals in the court who had experienced that battle. How could such a powerful weapon be successfully kept by Grand Sima? The generals from all sides would definitely try their best to spy on it. Now even the craftsmen under Yuan Shu's curtain have been built."

Liu Xie bit his lips and was dim for a long time before he accepted this reality with grief and anger.

After all, the princes of all sides had been peaceful for more than two years and had a breather to imitate advanced weapons. After a major battle similar to Liu Bei's Northern Expedition and the Battle of Chang'an, it was almost impossible to keep it completely confidential.

Telescopes and other rear production equipment may be leaked and imitated slowly. However, those weapons and equipment used to obtain the enemy must be the first to be imitated, at least they can be similar.

From this perspective, although Liu Bei received various benefits during the two and a half years of truce during the two-and-a-half years, he also had the disadvantage of "the gap in military technology was chased again and narrowing the gap."

There is no way to do this. It’s not that Liu Bei and Li Su want to delay it. The diplomatic conditions and the great power at that time were not allowed. Forcibly being the leader would be beaten up by the world.

Horseshoes, double-sided metal stirrups, high-bridge saddles, extra-long riding rifles, lever-weight catapults... These things were built by the princes.

Even the sea ships of the sand ships were able to reach Sanhan and Sun Ce to Yizhou, which means that they were almost the same. Now Cao Cao's ships and Mi Zhu's ships do not have technical differences.

At most, only the newly developed lucky ships at the bottom of the narrow ship that Li Su and Zhuge Liang can only be used in the Yangtze River and the East China Sea. Because they are newly developed, other princes may not be able to imitate them within a few years. However, that thing cannot be used in the Yellow River Basin and the Yellow Sea, and it will not affect the comparison of the water combat power of the northern warlords. At most, Liu Bei will shine when he will deal with Sun Ce in the future.

The previous Hetao Battle seemed to be crushing, but it was because of the Han technology overshadowed Hu technology, and the Hu people's imitation and manufacturing ability was too poor. Therefore, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao could win so much in foreign wars. If Ma Chao and Zhang Fei were really allowed to face Lu Bu and Zhang Liao at that time, there would be no military technology generation gap to use.

Considering that Li Su was not an engineering student in his previous life, he had been traveling through time for so many years, and he had basically taken out all the technical things he could remember. In the future, Liu Bei's army could only hope to fight fairly in a situation similar to the enemy in technology.

...

It's a bit far-reaching. Whether Liu Bei's camp has military and technological advantages is not what Liu Xie has the energy to care about now.

He couldn't even care about himself, so he didn't even think about the matter of the emperor.

After accepting the fact that the wall of Yique Pass was bombarded by more than one day with heavy-hitting stone carts, Liu Xie asked the accompanying guards to wear more giant shields to protect him and shout for a while.

Dong Cheng, who is better at military affairs, ordered Wang Fu to centrally dispatch all the beds and crossbows on the city tower. He would like to cover the entire line before calling out a while, and he would have to temporarily force the enemy to retreat and move away, so as to create a chance for His Majesty to safely speak out.

If it is entirely blocked by shields, wouldn’t Yuan Shu and Ji Ling not admit that it was the emperor’s excuse? So the key is to let the enemy retreat a little further. Withdrawal may cause cold arrows to hurt His Majesty’s theoretical range.

All this was arranged, and it took an hour and a half. Finally, it was a break when Yuan Shujun himself retreated from his breakthrough. Liu Xie finally caught the gap and let someone go to the wall to shout.

"Listen to General Guard's troops! Your Majesty is willing to pardon them for not knowing the truth and mistakenly acknowledging the fault of serving the king. This battle is also a supplement. As long as you withdraw your troops, you will be rewarded according to your heart!"

"The uncle Dong Cheng of the country has been temporarily removed from the position of General of the Chariot and Cavalry by His Majesty and is bound here. Your Majesty now personally takes charge of the military power in Luoyang, so don't doubt it. Now you retreat, just think that it was because you had done bad things with kindness before and don't blame him! Your Majesty will definitely investigate the casualties of the Dragon Seed and give the world an explanation, please don't doubt General Guard!"

Some of these words are gentle and vulgar, and they are not all shouted by Liu Xie himself, and he is not so loud. But his canopy has appeared on the wall of Yique Pass, and there is also a tied Dong Cheng next to him who is also exposed in public.

This really caught the troops who were preparing to attack the city again off guard, and the morale of the army was in chaos for a while and the dilemma was in trouble.

Although these troops were all Yuan Shu's direct descendants, they did not know how to be loyal to the emperor, but only loyal to the direct officers.

But the emperor's majesty was useful in the feudal era. In addition, before Yuan Shu sent troops, the generals were talking about the mobilization below, which was obvious to clear the emperor's side.

The emperor personally refuted the rumors, who dared to fight this?

"Is that chariot cap the emperor's qualifier? It's so majestic. Is the thief Dong Cheng tied beside him? It seems that Dong Cheng is not capable of holding the emperor hostage?"

Many soldiers and even middle and lower-level officers began to whisper.

Ji Ling, the front-line commander who was responsible for leading the army to tackle the key points, was shocked, especially his lord Yuan Shu, who was arrogant and unable to endure hardships, did not personally visit the battlefield of the siege, but was just stationed in Xincheng County, which made Ji Ling have to make a quick decision.

While sending people to return to Xincheng County in the rear for instructions, he ordered generals and officers at all levels to restrain each level: "Don't spread rumors! This is Dong Cheng's deception! How could the emperor come here in person? This is a fake arranged by Dong thief! Otherwise, why wouldn't the emperor kill the thief Dong Zhuo?

When Emperor Jing of Han killed Chao Cuo, everyone in the world knew that the heads of the princes showed their heads that those who did not want to withdraw their troops were in the wrong, so King Liu Bi of Wu was condemned by heaven! Our army is a righteous army. If Dong Cheng really had the head of the army, it would be impossible to restrain the troops! Now we will never accept the troubled life!"

After some urgent repair, this is the only way to deal with it.

Even so, Liu Xie was still held back by the siege for at least two hours, which made Yuan Shujun stale and relieved the pressure on the city wall.

Seeing that the siege was really suspended below, Liu Xie did not dare to continue to be overly stimulated, and he was in a stalemate for a while.

It is definitely not possible to kill Dong Cheng’s head because Ji Ling’s reverse call and send it to him, because as long as he sends it, the morale of the army will really collapse. How can people be in panic to guard Yique Pass?

When Emperor Jing of Han was able to kill Chao Cuo, it was because there were famous generals in the court, the enemy was thousands of miles away from the capital, and King Xiao of Liang helped the battle. Today, Liu Xie had no prestige and high-level generals who had mastered the army, and it was only forty miles away from Luoyang, so he could not tolerate any mistakes in the morale trough.

About two hours later, Yuan Shu rushed from the new city behind and brought Yang Hong. To be honest, Yuan Shu and Yang Hong did not expect that the emperor would have the courage to play this trick, soft and hard to disintegrate his morale, and everything would tend to develop in an out of control.

You can't slow down at this time! Take a step back and die. As long as you are stabilized, you will be liquidated sooner or later!

"Yang Hong! Things are urgent! What should I do if I do this now?" Yuan Shu asked anxiously.

Yang Hong was also bloody and had no time to think slowly: "For the sake of the current plan, I insisted on pretending to be unable to see clearly and absolutely could not admit that the emperor was true! General Ji's handling just now was pretty good, so he said that he would never stop the army if he didn't see Dong Cheng's head! Continue to attack Yique Pass!"

Yuan Shu said angrily: "So what? If we are instigated by the enemy like this, our morale will become lower and lower. How much loss will it take to capture Yique Pass? What about the subsequent Luoyang City? If the bandit army still has tens of thousands, will we still have enough morale to break through?"

Yang Hong's brain flew around, thinking about it, and then he tried a desperate way to fight: "Lord, the arrow is on the string and he has to fire it. If he gives up at this moment, we will end up with the destruction of the clan.

Let’s do this. From the east to Yique, there seems to be a gentle slope between Taigu Pass and Taigu Pass. There may be a small number of people and horses climbing through lightly. To the west to Yique, south of Henan County on the banks of Luoshui, there are also gentle slopes that can be sneaked over.

In previous years, the reason why these places did not set up levels everywhere was simply because they were too steep and could only climb people but not pass through grain trucks and ships. Therefore, even if a small number of elite soldiers crossed the mountain, they could not carry military rations. There was also Luoyang City after Yique. The troops entered the area outside the city behind the gate and were sandwiched in the middle. They would inevitably be surrounded and starved to death, so they could not be guarded.

But now, the situation is slightly different - the so-called man who pretended to be the emperor actually arrived at Yique Pass in person and did not stay in Luoyang City. Therefore, we do not have to force the attack on Luoyang City, nor do we have to worry about the side masters who secretly crossed the mountains being surrounded and out of food-

After they crossed the mountain, they just blocked the road from Yique Pass to Luoyang from the back, and then killed all the defenders in Yique Pass! No surviving! At that time, they might not have to attack Luoyang's city!

If there is really a emperor among the deceased, and there is no evidence to be killed, we will say that before Dong Cheng was destroyed, he tried to use the emperor to make a way to force us to retreat to Luoyang. During the war, Dong Cheng killed the emperor who was kidnapped by him! Anyway, all of them are dead and there is no evidence to be killed. Isn’t we the final decision?"

Yuan Shu heard the blue veins on his temples rushing, and kept roaring in his heart: I don’t want this either! This is all you, Liu Xie, insisting on using common sense and pretending to tie Dong Cheng up to prove that you were not kidnapped and forced me to a dead end. I had to silence them all!

After such psychological construction, Yuan Shu agreed to Yang Hong's plan.

He was really forced to this point by the emperor's temporary tricks!

Before, Liu Xie was held hostage by Dong Zhuo and Li Jue. He never said that he had tied up Dong Zhuo and Li Jue and proved to the princes in the world that he had not been tied up!

But this time I didn’t use it according to common sense! How can Yuan Shu get his IQ in this sudden change?
