Three Kingdoms

Chapter 148: Luocheng Offensive and Defensive Battle (Part 2)

Views:

At the south gate of Luocheng, the remaining fire continued, and the remnant forces of the Shu army were doing the last fight for their leader Liu Xun.

The south gate opened wide, and along with a thick cloud of smoke, Liu Xun and the important generals of the Shu army behind him galloped out on horseback.

This time Luocheng was defeated, Liu Xun and others also lost their last support. At this time, Liu Xun couldn't help but recall the scene of the beginning of the expedition, and couldn't help feeling full of emotions.

After rushing out of the city gate, Liu Xun couldn't help but glanced back at the city wall, sorrow from his heart, and an unfulfilled sorrow filled his heart.

"General, let's go, the Han army is here." Liu Wei felt a panic when he saw Liu Xun's look of defeat, but he hurriedly urged Liu Xun to flee at the critical moment.

Everyone finally got out of the city. It was a life of nine deaths. If they were caught by the Han army behind them now, they would not know how wronged they would be.

When people are in crisis, they don’t hesitate to protect themselves, but after escaping, the feeling of restlessness made Liu Xun calm down in an instant. At this time, although Liu Xun’s face was full of dismay Reconciled, sad, resentful, but not desperate.

"You can run for your life, I won't go." Liu Xun turned back slowly, his thoughts gradually calmed down, and the emotions on his face had all subsided.

"What does the general mean?" Liu Huang was taken aback, but what surprised him most was that he saw the will of death in Liu Xun's eyes.

Liu Huanhuan looked at all the soldiers who escaped, with a faint smile on their faces, and said: "This time the army was defeated, and fifty thousand soldiers fell to Luocheng. As the commander of the three armies, I cannot escape the blame. I deserve to be cut. I am ashamed. Father, I must die when I go back. I simply stay here. Even if I die, it can offset some of the guilt and not embarrass my father."

"What is the general saying? This defeat is not the fault of the general. I will accompany the general to bear it. After all, the general is the eldest son of the lord, and the lord will not put the general to death." After the other generals listened, They all support Liu Xun.

"Needless to say, my guilt is inevitable. Ashamed of my father, I only need to bear it alone, so that the lord will not implicate you." Liu Xun thanked everyone and said, "After you go back, you will call me Liu Xun. I had to bear the trust of the lord, because he acted arbitrarily and refused to accept advice, which led to the defeat of Luocheng. This crime is my responsibility, and it is not a matter for the generals."

The sound of killing gradually came from a distance. The Shu army at the city gate was not an opponent of the Han soldiers, and was immediately defeated, starting to rush towards Liu Xun and others.

Liu Xun's expression changed, and he shouted at the hesitant Shu general: "Go, you dare not listen to my order, go!"

The generals of the Shu army headed by Liu Huang saw that Liu Xun’s determination was difficult to change. In addition, the Han army behind had already broken through the city gate. I am afraid there would be no chance to escape if they did not. They simply stopped persuading Liu Xun, but they were all very Respectfully bowed his head to Liu Xun and expressed the most sincere respect in his heart.

Liu Xun looked at the respect they had expressed, and his heart was overwhelmed. He couldn't help but feel proud. His face re-displayed the style of a general of the Shu army, and he issued a final command to them: "I, Liu Xun, I will give you the last time. Give orders, we must break through and we must live."

"Yes." The generals had a firm tone, but they burst into tears and choked.

"General, in Liu's heart, only you are worthy of being my chief general." Liu Wei gritted his teeth fiercely, and shouted at the generals of the Shu army behind him: "Go."

The soldiers of the Shu army passed Liu Xun with reluctance, each with a heavy heart. They seemed to be able to predict how Liu Xun would end when he fell into the hands of the Han army.

Liu Xun smiled, knowing that he would die if he stayed, but his heart was unspeakably relaxed at this time. At the last moment, he received the sincere support of the soldiers. Even if he was unruly, he was still dissatisfied with himself in his heart. Liu Huang also admitted to himself at the last moment, which made him feel an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

Watching the remaining generals of the Shu army walk away, a group of murderous Han army greeted them behind, and the three circles inside and outside three circles began to surround Liu Xun as the core.

Liu Xun didn’t see the slightest nervousness. Looking at Liu Huang and others who had disappeared, he turned his head to the direction of the Han army. His eyes were filled with deepness and confusion. There was a trace of complexity on his face. He always stared in the direction of Chengdu, suddenly bitter. With a smile, the corners of his mouth moved lightly, and he murmured: "Father, I am ashamed of you. It seems that I can't help you realize your wish."

Facing the large number of Han soldiers, Liu Xun turned a blind eye and did not fear at all. His face was always so calm and arrogant, only a hand slowly moved to the short dagger at his waist.

Seeing Liu Xun’s actions, the soldiers of the Han army nearby were a little nervous and began to distance themselves from Liu Xun. They naturally knew that the man in front of them was the chief general of the Shu army, but they had already received the order in advance and it was not a last resort. , Try to get alive, seeing Liu Xun's unusual behavior at this time, they didn't know what to do for a while.

With a "swish", Liu Xun drew out the dagger, his eyes suddenly became stubborn and determined, and then before everyone could react, he held the handle with both hands and pierced his heart viciously.

"Don't..." Wu Yi rushed into the circle surrounded by the Han army and shouted anxiously. When he saw Liu Xun about to commit suicide, he was even more distraught and yelled, "No..."

Wu Yi's roar did not restore Liu Xun's determination. The sharp dagger pierced Liu Xun's chest without any pause. Liu Xun's face suddenly distorted, his face turned red from the pain, and his mouth was flushed at the same time. There was a whimper, and the pus and blood that surged in the mouth was forcibly swallowed back by him.

Seeing Liu Xun who was about to falter, but insisted, gritted his teeth, Wu Yi was stunned, and his eyes seemed to freeze on Liu Xun.

Since knowing that the leader of the Shu army was Liu Xun, Wu Yi wanted to save Liu Xun for the first time. He thought that if our army defeated the Shu army, it would be a last resort and not to drive Liu Xun into desperation.

So when he learned that Liu Xun was going to escape from the South Gate, he hid the information from Liu Xun and the others, did not kill them all during the battle, and gave them sufficient time to ensure that they could escape from Luocheng.

He didn't want Wu Yi to count on everything, but he didn't expect Liu Xunmeng's life and death ambitions to commit suicide, causing Wu Yi's painstakingly arranged water release action to fall short.

At this time, in addition to being surprised and unexpected at Liu Xun’s suicide, he was also a little bit depressed. He took such a big risk and concealed Liu Xun’s circumstances. It can be said that he violated the military order. , The result is so amazing.

Because his heart was pierced, Liu Xun’s vitality was quickly cut off. Although he still gritted his teeth, he still couldn’t resist the weakness caused by his body. After a while, his face changed drastically, followed by a mouthful of blood. Gushing out from his mouth, his body finally could not be controlled, and he fell off the horseback.

"Bang!" Liu Xun, who fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and finally did not move. He saw that his wide eyes were dim, which was enough to prove that he was dying of anger.

The surrounding Han army didn't know what to do for a while. They were still murderous, but they stood in place and didn't know what to do. They didn't know how to deal with this situation.

"Hey!" Wu Yi walked forward with a sad expression, stood in front of Liu Xun's corpse, looked at Liu Xun's tarnished eyes, then knelt down and gently closed his eyes for him. .

At that moment, his heart was overwhelmed, and it was hard to tell. Although Liu Xun was dead, he still saw from Liu Xun's eyes how he felt during his lifetime. Then, he raised his head and stared in the direction of Chengdu, Liu Xun was facing Chengdu even though he was dead.

Just when Wu Yi wanted to order Liu Xun's corpse to be taken care of, Zhao Yun and other generals also rushed over, watching the scene in front of him, plus the surrounding soldiers Daoming, and they all sighed and sighed.

"It's a pity that such a talented person is in vain but his life is in vain!" Zhao Yun came to Wu Yi, glanced at Wu Yi who was in a bad mood, and comforted: "The general should not be sad, although Liu Xun is your old man. People, but the enemy and ours have different positions. It is inevitable that this will end."

Wu Yi was silent for a long time, nodded helplessly, stood up and said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, I hope that Liu Xun's body can be buried properly. I don't know if it's OK?" Although Wu Yi had a certain decision about Liu Xun's body. , But he can't do his own way, he must ask for Zhao Yun's consent.

Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't have the right to call the shots on this matter. I must ask the Lord's intentions to make a decision."

Wu Yi nodded, and said slowly: "Well, I'll go to the Lord now."

After all, everyone took Liu Xun's body into the city.

After Liu Xun learned of Wu Yi’s request, he said, "General Wu, you are out of the question. Although Liu Xun is the enemy of our army, but now he is dead, he needs to die well. Since Liu Xun is your old one. People, leave it to you for burial."

It is fundamentally impossible for Liu Xun to escape from the North Gate. Therefore, after listening to the analysis of the counsellors and the soldiers present at the time, Liu Xun can conclude that Wu Yi, the main general of the attack on the South Gate, deliberately released Liu Xun and others. People fled, but they didn't expect things to develop like this. After seeing Liu Xun's body, it took Liu Xun a long time to react.

If it is a living Liu Xun, Liu Xun will not hand it over to Wu Yi, because Liu Xun’s identity has a pivotal position in the Shu army. Liu Xun can also use this to demoralize Liu Zhang and others, but he is a dead man. Liu Xun had no interest at all, and simply handed the mess to Wu Yi directly.

Seeing that Liu Xun agreed so happily, Wu Yi was also relieved, and said with a slight smile: "So thank you lord."

Immediately, Wu Yi seemed to have thought of something, his face sank, and he said with a guilty expression: "Master, I..."

"Ziyuan doesn't need to say, you and I know it, but let's not take it as an example."

Liu Xun knew that Wu Yi wanted to let Liu Xun deliberately let go, so he hurriedly stopped. At this time, Wu Yi soon took refuge in Liu Xun. What he feared most was a gap. If Wu Yi made the matter public, military regulations would be necessary. Even though Liu Xun was dissatisfied with Wu Yi deliberately letting Liu Xun go, he still admired Wu Yi's personality and couldn't bear to punish him.

Wu Yi never expected that Liu Xun would let him go this way. You must know that his actions are lightly speaking, they are arrogant, and strictly speaking, they violate military regulations, or even the crime of collaborating with the enemy. Fundamentally speaking, they despise Liu Xun. The authority of the highest commander.

Even if the two usually have a good relationship, there is usually no affection to talk about in this kind of thing, but Liu Xun’s magnanimity has created a huge contrast in Wu Yi's heart, and Liu Xun's image can't be avoided infinitely magnified. , The color of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

Needless to say, Liu Xun and Wu Yi just looked at each other, they understood each other's thoughts, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and the relationship took a step forward.

"The lord will win people's hearts." Pang Tong looked around randomly, but his eyes were always between Liu Xun and Wu Yi. Their every move was monitored by the restless Pang Tong.

"Shiyuan, don't talk nonsense." Zhuge Liang glared at Pang Shiyuan from the side, but in his eyes he deeply agreed with Pang Tong's words.

After Liu Xun’s incident came to an end, Liu Xun and the others were all overjoyed. Eliminating the enemy in front of them not only can blow the morale of the Shu army, but also can smoothly command Chengdu and take Chengdu. Basically, Yizhou will be soon. Fall into the hands of Liu Xun.

"Our army will rest for a few days, and I don't know how the Jiange battle is going." It seems that Liu Xun is very concerned about the Jiange battle...
