Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 409: The day the city was broken

In the palace of the King of Huainan in Shouchun City, the King of Huainan, Liu Xi, was supported by the crowd and sat down in the meeting hall. After drinking two bowls of honey water, it was all relieved. The advisors who were sitting with him saw King Huainan's demeanor and had already guessed that the trip on the mountain was not going well. Immediately, a counselor said to Liu Xijin: "Your Highness, the two armies are now at a stalemate, and the outcome is still unclear. Mr. Yan Jie is still serving in front of the army. Would you like him to come back? He is Mr. Wu and Mr. Gui. The elders, looking at Mr. Yan Jie's face, there may be a turning point in this matter."

"The turnaround..." After Liu Xi smiled a little strangely, he ate two mouthfuls of meat soup under the service of the waiter, and only then did he gain some energy. Then he waved his hand to the counselors and said, "The matter is not as serious as everyone thinks, and now the two gentlemen have gone abroad to visit friends and have not returned. A few days later, this king will go to Wangtianshan again to see the past mentors and disciples and the worship. On top of the points, the Huainan Kingdom will definitely be blessed by the two gentlemen. Everyone has been burdened by this king, and the minister of the state has left to explain the two-day pre-military battle report to this king, and the rest can retire."

After watching everyone retreat, the prime minister said to the King of Huainan: "His Royal Highness, the Han army has not made any major moves in the past two days, but our army has no reserve army to replenish. If we continue to stalemate , the war will be unfavorable to our army sooner or later. I have a plan to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Han army is in Huainan. It would be better to unite the Xiongnu's Yizhixie Chanyu and Nanyue..."

When he said this, the Prime Minister kept his mouth shut. He looked at the reaction of Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, to see if he said the following words according to his reaction. Liu Xi stopped when he heard the Prime Minister's words, and then looked up at the Prime Minister and said, "Stop talking, Lord Prime Minister, do you want this king to guess what you're going to say next?"

Seeing that the King of Huainan had no intention of attacking, Guo Dian gave Liu Xi a half salute, then lowered his head and continued: "Your Highness, the imperial capital is now empty. Taking advantage of this time to join forces with the Xiongnu and Nanyue, as long as The Hetao, Echizen, etc. will be ceded. Then..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a sword unsheathed. Just when the Prime Minister raised his head, he saw that the King of Huainan had already slashed at him with a sword in his hand. After a flash of cold light, Baojian was in the head of the Chinese Prime Minister. However, at this time, Liu Xi did not have the energy to cut off his head, the sword stuck in the head of the prime minister, and fell to the ground along with the dead body.

At the same time that the prime minister was killed, a half-eldest boy in his teens walked in outside the meeting room. The person who came was Liu Qian, the crown prince of Liu Xi. This teenage boy had the style of his father. After seeing that the prime minister was killed, he immediately closed the door of the council hall, and then helped his father to sit down. He also asked his personal servant to quietly bury the body of the prime minister in the garden of the palace in the dark of night, and told others not to tell anyone about what happened tonight. Killing the prime minister during the war between the two armies was afraid that it would affect the main general in the army.

After all arrangements were made, Liu Qian returned to report to his father. After listening to the words of his crown prince, Liu Xi sneered at the place where the prime minister fell to the ground, and finally said to his son, "Do you know why I killed the prime minister with one sword?"

"There must be a reason for my father to kill the prime minister." After Liu Qian put a cloak over Liu Xi's body, he continued: "But in recent days, there are often some Xiongnu in the prime minister's residence. , South Vietnamese people come and go frequently, compared to the death of the prime minister and his words and deeds are inseparable."

Liu Xi pointed to the position of the fallen state and said: "This thief wants to borrow the troops of the Xiongnu and Nanyue. Liu Che and I are just an internal struggle between the Liu family and the Han family. To attract foreign troops is to subvert the world. The words like seeking skin from a tiger and taking chestnuts from fire can actually come out of the mouth of my prime minister of Huainan, I was also blind at the beginning, and reused such a traitor!"

"My son understands that the death of the prime minister is his own fault." Liu Qian picked up the rice bowl full of meat soup, served his father after eating two bites, and continued: "And now the two armies have not yet won or lost. Obviously, his words can be regarded as disturbing the military's heart..."

"The outcome is not clear yet?" Before waiting for his crown prince to finish speaking, Liu Xi gave a wry smile, let Liu Qian sit in front of him, and then continued to say to him: "I, Huainan, gather troops and horses from all over the country. , is only one-tenth of the imperial court. Our army can only win if we take advantage of the unexpected attack and attack the capital with the cooperation of all the kings and allies.”

Speaking of this, Liu Xi coughed several times with phlegm, and took a few sips of the honey water handed over by Liu Qian before he could suppress the phlegm. Then he continued: "It's not my intention to use Huainan Kingdom to engage in corvée wars in these years. I want to use my Huainan Kingdom to attract the attention of the court, so that other kings and allies can secretly develop their forces. The kings were overwhelmed. None of the kings attracted the attention of the court, and the other kings did not dare to develop the strength of their own countries.

Originally, when the imperial court attacked our Huainan country, it was the best time for them to raise their troops. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the capital, several kings just raised their troops to attack the capital. It's a pity that the courage of those people is too small... Now it seems that the Huainan and the imperial armies are at a stalemate, but the Han army is actually waiting for their reinforcements to arrive. At that time, there will be a few soldiers and horses in one round. At the latest, the five-day army will be forced to my Shouchun City..."

After listening to his father's words, the crown prince's face changed color. Originally, he had already calculated that the battle situation was not good, who would have thought that it would be so bad. After taking a deep breath, he said to the King of Huainan, "Then there is no turning point?"

"Many years ago, it was a help, but now it's difficult to help myself, and I can't take care of our small Huainan country." After sighing slightly, Liu Xi continued: "Originally this time, looking at the Tianshan Mountains. Okay, I also hope that Mr. Gui and Mr. Wu can sneak attack on the Han army camp. By killing the main general of the Han army, we can take advantage of the chaos so that our Huainan army can break through the camp, avoid the reinforcements from those roads, and go straight to Chang'an. It's a pity that the two gentlemen were originally outsiders, so they would be so troubled by trivial matters in this world?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xiai looked at his immature son with pity. After taking a long breath, he continued: "Now I only hope that the two gentlemen can look at the past relationship and protect your mother and son's well-being on the day when the city is broken..."

Almost exactly as King Huainan had expected, three days later the court's five-way reinforcements rushed to the battlefield. Huainan Kingdom, which was already exhausted, collapsed at the touch of a button, and then the cities under the jurisdiction of Huainan Kingdom were lost one by one, and another five days passed. The 200,000 horsemen of the imperial court approached Shouchun City.

However, the details were a little different from what Liu Xi expected. Shouchun City was held for seven days and then the city was broken. On the day when the city was broken, the crown prince Liu Qian was supervising the battle at the city gate. An arrow shot through Liu Qian's throat. After seeing the death of the crown prince, the officers and soldiers defending the city gate had no intention of defending the city. Moments later, the city gate was breached by the Han army.

After hearing the news that the crown prince died in battle by breaking the city gate, the Queen of Huainan threw herself into a well on the spot. Liu Xi vomited out a mouthful of blood. At this time, everyone in the palace was fleeing, and they couldn't think of him, the King of Huainan.

Looking at the empty Huainan Palace, Liu Xi laughed miserably, and then staggered around the Huainan Palace. At this time, the screams of killing outside were loud, and it seemed that the Han army would kill here in a blink of an eye. Unconsciously, Liu Xi walked to the dormitory before his big wedding, next to the dormitory of Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and Xiao Rensan. All of a sudden, I remembered every bit of the encounter with the three of them when I was a child. For a moment, the tears of King Huainan couldn't stop flowing.

At this time, there was a loud sound of footsteps outside, and Liu Xi understood that this was the Han army breaking into his palace. At the moment, he took a few steps and walked towards the dormitory of Wu Mian and the three of them. The place is still as it was when the three of them didn't leave, but at this time Liu Xi no longer has the heart to cherish the memory. At the moment, he grabbed a sheet and put it on the beam...

Just as Liu Xi was trembling and tying the sheet with a dead knot, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Is this going to leave?"
