Chapter 2141 The last trick
Liu Ye stood on the stage, looking at the chaotic battlefield without saying a word.
Shi Ah stood aside with a long sword, and blood flowed down the sword spine, dripping on the platform, forming a sink. He was anxious and wanted to speak several times but stopped. He followed the emperor's edict and struggled to break through the siege and came to see Liu Ye, hoping that Liu Ye could come up with a plan to rescue the emperor, and paid a heavy price for this. Almost all Hu Benlang who broke through the siege together was killed, but Liu Ye seemed to have lost his soul and did not react at all, which disappointed him very much.
But standing on the stage and looking at the chaotic battlefield, he knew that it was not that Liu Ye didn't want to, but that he could no longer imagine it.
The victory and defeat were decided. The left cavalry of Yulin was wiped out, and the right cavalry was bitten by Yan Xing after being taken over by the emperor and fell into a hard battle. Yan Xing entangled the emperor. Most of the soldiers on both sides had lost their horse speed or were dismissed, and could only fight in the infantry battle. Chen Dao led his troops to attack. The Tunqi Camp, which was slightly inferior in strength, had all been wiped out, and the soldiers of Yulin Cavalry also suffered heavy losses. The Jiangdong cavalry had already gained a comprehensive advantage. There was no doubt about the victory and defeat, it was just a matter of time.
If you don’t see the Armored Cavalry, you may have gone to rest or moved on standby. If the light cavalry cannot solve the problem, the Armored Cavalry will definitely re-enter the formation.
The battlefield on the right wing was calm. The flying general Lu Bu was killed, Zhang Liao was captured with great strength, and the Bingzhou army was wiped out. Wen Chou might lead his troops at any time.
The central army general also had more than 700 cavalry from Changshui Camp under the stage, led by Changshui Captain Zong Ji. They were originally the last mobile force, but now it seems that these are meaningless. The Changshui Camp is only equipped with armor, with a spear, a halberd, and no stirrups in his hands. They may have some advantages when facing ordinary knights. Even the light cavalry led by Chen Dao, they have no advantages at all.
Chen Dao still has six or seven hundred cavalry, although he has exhausted his strength for a long time, he is enough to fight the Changshui Camp.
There is only one person who can save the emperor: Dong Yue. Dong Yue has five thousand cavalry. If he takes action, he has the chance to defeat Chen Dao, Yan Xing's siege, and he will be able to take the emperor out, and may even turn defeat into victory. But Liu Ye did not have the idea of asking for help from Dong Yue, and he did not know what he thought.
"Lingjun, think of a solution." Shi Ah couldn't help but urge. "Your Majesty can't hold on." Wherever he could see, the emperor's battle flag was surrounded by the Yan Xing's battle flag and was about to be destroyed. The reason why he could fight to this point was that most of the Hu Benlang around the emperor came from a noble family in Liangzhou, who was loyal to the emperor and was good at infantry battles, especially with a great sword master like Wang Yue, who was one to ten. But even Wang Yue could not face the impact of the cavalry. Once Yan Xing found that the infantry battle could not be won, he would be unavoidable to send cavalry to attack forcibly.
Liu Ye let out a sigh, turned his head slowly, and looked at Shi Ah. "What else can I do besides dying for death?"
Shi A was stunned, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Liu Ye smiled, smiling helplessly. "The advantage of the Jiangdong cavalry is so obvious. Even if you throw Changshui Camp into it, it will be a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem. What you are talking about is to ask Dong Yue for help? The people of Guanxi value profit and neglect righteousness, and surrender to the strong. If Your Majesty has a chance of winning, Dong Yue may be frightened by his power and send troops to help. Now that Your Majesty has a certain defeat, how can he be an enemy of Your Majesty and Sun Ce?"
Shi A thought about it, and the spirit on her face quickly dissipated. Although she was unwilling, he still had to admit that Liu Ye was right. Dong Yue was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, so he could not fight to the death for the emperor and Sun Ce.
"That……"
Liu Ye waved his hand and signaled Shi A tone, and turned around and said to Wu Qiuxing, "The victory and the defeat have been decided. Your Majesty is afraid it will be difficult for him to survive. What are your plans?"
"I..." Wu Qiuxing looked at Liu Ye, who was pale but still sharp in his eyes, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He came to help the emperor on the order of Jia Xu, and originally offered a strategy to attack Nanyang, but unexpectedly things would turn out like this. The emperor entered Yanzhou and was defeated in one battle, which made him feel huge doubts.
What exactly did Jia Xu mean? Did he expect the current situation? If so, what choice did he hope I will make now?
"If you want to change your bid to Sun Ce, I won't stop you."
Wu Qiuxing's face turned red and a little embarrassed. He did have such thoughts, but he did not dare to make a decision. He could not admit it in front of so many soldiers, so he could only pretend to be generous. "Ling... Lord, what are you saying? I, Wu Qiuxing, can I let Your Majesty down? "
Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "The outcome has been decided, and we cannot force it. If you have such an idea, I can understand it. However, although you are Jia Wen and your disciple, you are from Hedong and not from Liangzhou. You must be loyal to the court. If you don't want to surrender to Sun Ce, I have one more thing to entrust you."
Wu Qiu Xing was embarrassed. After hearing Liu Ye's words, he hurriedly bowed and bowed. "Please order you to give me your order, and I will never refuse."
"You go to Dong Yue's camp and tell him that the life and death of the emperor is now entrusted to him. If he doesn't want to save him, I won't force him. If he is willing to reinforce the emperor, the achievements are greater than the rescue. When you return to Chang'an, nothing can be solved. If you advise Dong Yue to be successful, your Majesty will not let you down, and the thousand-house marquises are not rewarded."
Wu Qiuxing was moved. The only thing that could turn the situation around at this time was Dong Yue, who would persuade Dong Yue to succeed, and be a hero who would rescue him. If he could not persuade him, he could hide in Dong Yue's camp without facing this dilemma. He immediately agreed to Liu Ye's suggestion, got off the stage, and took a few followers to Dong Yue's camp.
Liu Ye looked at Wu Qiu Xing's back as he hurriedly left, and his eyes were gloomy and a sneer. He got off the general platform and came to Changshui Captain Zong Ji, showing the emperor's order in his hand. "From now on, Changshui Camp will obey my command."
Zhong Ji looked at the emperor's order, and without thinking, bowed and bowed. "Hey, please give me the order, and I will never refuse."
"First send someone to Dong Zhao's army and tell him that the emperor is unfavorable in the war and there is no hope of victory. Please prepare for retreat."
"Here."
"Send a hundred cavalry to go to Dong Yue camp with full admiration, and look at the army's flag. The emperor raised the flag and beat the drums in one go, shouting in unison, making Dong Yue's case, and doing a trick of doubting the army. The other knights followed the orders and attacked without beating the drums or shouting, forcing them into the formation, responding to the emperor's formation, and then heading east."
"east?"
"You heard it right, head east and bypass Dong Yue's camp. If Dong Yue dares not leave the camp, we still have a glimmer of hope. If Dong Yue comes out of the camp and intercepts it, the emperor and the great man will be ruined here."
Zhong Ji changed his color in shock. "Then why not go to Dong Zhao's camp? Or go west."
"Do you know what plans Dong Zhao has now? The retreat was intercepted, the food and grass were about to be cut off, and the cavalry was defeated. He had no way out. What if he wanted to surrender to the emperor?"
Zhong Ji was speechless and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. Liu Ye was right, Dong Yue was not trustworthy, and Dong Zhao was not trustworthy either. In the case of difficulty in protecting himself, he was likely to take the risk and take the emperor's head as a meeting gift and surrender to Sun Ce.
"Going west, you can't find a place within a hundred miles. Once you are caught up, we will be wiped out. Only by going east can we have a glimmer of life. After receiving the emperor, go north first, pass in front of Dong Zhao's camp, and then east, and bypass Dong Yue's camp, we can still get some time."
Liu Ye carefully explained the retreat plan. After listening carefully, Zhong Ji couldn't help but secretly admire Liu Ye's calmness. It was now time, and he could still use his suspicions to make the most advantageous choice as much as possible.
Shi A was even more surprised. Just now, seeing Liu Ye say what Wu Qiu Xing said, he thought Liu Ye was already planning to lose his mind and was ready to give up. Now it seems that Liu Ye did not give up. He just deceived Wu Qiu Xing, and stabilized Dong Yue through Wu Qiu Xing, and used Dong Yue to take advantage of Dong Yue to take a plan of doubt.
It turns out to be a genius. Unfortunately, the situation is stronger than that of a human. Although he is extremely smart, he is still unable to assist the emperor in defeating Sun Ce. After this battle, even if he returns to Guanzhong safely, he can only stick to the endgame.
Liu Ye turned around and looked at the soldiers of Changshui Camp, and suddenly felt sad. The dignified Han emperor finally had to rely on these Hu knights to save his life. How could the Han Dynasty fall to this point today?
"You guys, can you lose your virtue since your Majesty ascended the throne?" Liu Ye asked loudly.
The soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads. Although the emperor was young, he was a rare hero. He had not done anything stupid for so many years. He was a rare hero.
"Your Majesty, what have you treated you since your Majesty led his troops to war? Have you ever been wronged because you were from Wuhuan and the Huns? Are there any unfair rewards? Are there any unfair treatments in normal times?"
The knights were silent, sparks flashing in their eyes. At this time, Lu Xiaohuan came to the team and shouted sternly: "Are you still men? Your Majesty treats you normally, don't you know what you are? People on the grassland are not afraid of life and death, and are loyal to you the most. How come they are afraid of the head and tail at this moment, like rats." She turned around and shouted to Liu Ye: "Let's not worry about them, I'll save Your Majesty."
"Yes, let's go and save Your Majesty." Wang Yi shouted, and more than a dozen female guards echoed. Most of these female guards came from Bingliang, and were all strong women like Lu Xiaohuan. They were skilled in bows and horses, and were as good as men.
"Your Majesty is very good to me!" A Wuhuan knight was agitated by Lu Xiaohuan, and his face turned red. He said loudly: "Liu Lingjun, tell me, how to fight? As long as you can save Your Majesty, we will be willing to die."
"Yes, we do."
"We do, too!"
The soldiers of Changshui Camp were inspired by their loyalty and shouted loudly. They didn't know whether the emperor was a wise monarch. But the emperor treated the soldiers very well, which was obvious to them and experienced by them personally. Since the emperor led them to the war, they have shared joys and sorrows with them, sleeping in the open, and did not discriminate against them because they were foreign races. Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary generals may not be able to do it. This made them very grateful. At this moment, the emperor is in danger and needs their help. They cannot be afraid of death and be looked down upon by the woman.
"Sir, I would like to ask you all for your life and death, your great man's safety." Liu Ye bowed deeply. "I am so lucky to be able to share life and death with you."
Under the leadership of Zhong Ji, the knights of Changshui Camp returned the greetings one after another. "I wish to follow the orders of the emperor and die."
