Hwa Xiong slowly returned to his camp.
Gao Shun and Jia Xu came forward to welcome them.
"General, when will Li Jue start attacking?”
Hwa Xiong recounted what had just happened.
Gao Shun stomped his feet in anger.
"These four useless trash!”
Jia Xu frowned." General, it's not wise for you to make such a bet with them.”
"Yes, Chang 'an Fortress is not so easy to conquer.”
Gao Shun had a worried expression.
Hwa Xiong laughed.
"Do you think I don't have a backup plan?”
Jia Xu and Gao Shun were both stunned.
Hwa Xiong smiled mysteriously." Gao Shun, go and gather the troops. We'll prepare to attack the city!”
……
On the other side.
Li Jue and the other three stood at a high vantage point, watching Hwa Xiong attack the city.
"Does this Hwa Xiong know the art of war? He actually went up to attack the city?”
Li Jue asked in astonishment.
In ancient times, attacking a city was either a protracted battle and besieging the people inside.
Or they could use siege weapons to attack from all four gates at the same time.
Hwa Xiong, on the other hand, didn't want a catapult or a ladder.
The soldiers of the Wolf Army held their weapons and shields and attacked the south gate.
To Li Jue and the others, this was no different from suicide.
"What a joke! Fortunately, we didn't listen to his instructions. Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy casualties.”
"That's right, that's right."
"I'm waiting for this kid to kowtow to me and admit his mistake.”
"When his forces are exhausted, we can crush him at will.”
Li Jue and the others were calculating in their hearts.
Suddenly, they heard a cheer coming from Chang 'an Fortress.
The four of them quickly looked over.
When they saw this, they were dumbfounded.
"F * ck, how is this possible?"
Am I dreaming?"
Li Jue looked at the wide open South Gate, his face gaping.
The gates of Chang 'an Fortress were made of the most solid wood and wrapped in copper.
It could be said that it was invulnerable, and it was impossible to open it from the outside.
However, Hwa Xiong's wolf army did not use siege weapons and took down the south gate in less than an hour.
This was not just a fantasy, this was simply a fantasy!
Only when the wolf army had completely invaded Chang 'an did Li Jue and the other three wake up from their daze. They hurriedly ordered their troops to charge into Chang' an!
By the time they arrived at the Imperial Palace, panting, Hua Xiong was already chatting and laughing with Emperor Liu Xie.
"I am Li Jue."
"I am Guo Si."
"I am Zhang Ji."
"Fan Chou."
"The rescue is too late."
The four of them hurriedly bowed to Emperor Liu Xie.
Liu Xie only glanced at them and nodded lightly.
Then, he said to Hwa Xiong enthusiastically,
"Thank you Wen Hou for saving me in time, otherwise, I would have been harmed by that traitor Lu Bu!”
"Wen Hou, you have made a great contribution. Zhen will confer you the title of General of the Flying Cavalry!”
Hwa Xiong chuckled.
Li Jue and the other three were filled with envy.
The hussars general was the second-class military system of the imperial court, second only to the position of great general.
If they had known that Chang 'an Fortress was so easy to capture, why would they give up the credit of saving the emperor?
Hwa Xiong was right, we're too small!
"Oh right, Wen Hou, all the other armies of the Han Dynasty have to obey your command.”
Emperor Liu Xie glanced at Li Jue and the others, pretending to be dignified.
Li Jue and the other three were Dong Zhuo's former subordinates.
Liu Xie didn't want to be scared anymore. Plus, he felt that Hwa Xiong wasn't bad, so he said this.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hwa Xiong cupped his hands.
Liu Xie had been in a state of fear recently. After chatting for a while, he proposed to rest.
After the Emperor left, Hwa Xiong looked at Li Jue and the others with a faint smile.
"Did the four of you forget something?”
The faces of Li Jue and the other three darkened.
"Hwa Xiong, don't go overboard!"
"You want us to kneel down to you? Can you take it?”
"That's right!"
Li Jue and the other three were unwilling to kneel before Hwa Xiong. This was worse than killing them.
"If you're willing to bet, you'll lose. Are you going to go back on your word?”
Hwa Xiong's expression was cold.
"Don't forget, His Majesty asked me to control all the Han army. Then I will be your commanding officer! When you see your superior, quickly kneel down and salute!”
The faces of Li Jue and the other three darkened.
Only then did he remember that Liu Xie had indeed said that just now.
The four of them were still dilly-dallying, unwilling to kneel.
Hu Zi and the other bodyguards behind Hwa Xiong had already reached their hands to their waists, looking murderous.
Li Jue and the others didn't dare to hesitate and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Wen Hou!"
Hwa Xiong roared with laughter.
"That's more like it."
He nodded in satisfaction and left with his men.
After humiliating Li Jue and the other three, Hwa Xiong felt extremely comfortable.
He brought Hu Zi and the others to the main hall where the court session was held.
Wang Yun, Gao Shun, Jia Xu, and the others were waiting there.
"Haha, congratulations, Wen Hou, for defeating Lu Bu and becoming the hero of the Great Han Dynasty.”
Wang Yun stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"This is all thanks to you, Godfather."
Hwa Xiong laughed.
When the two of them had come up with their plan, they had considered how Lu Bu would counterattack after he occupied Chang 'an.
Wang Yun bribed the guards at the south gate in advance.
When Hwa Xiong sent troops to attack, he opened the city gate and let him in.
That was why Hwa Xiong was able to capture Chang 'an City so quickly and gain Liu Xie's favor.
It was all thanks to Wang Yun.
The most depressed one was Lu Bu. After killing Dong Zhuo, he didn't have much time to be happy before Hwa Xiong attacked the city.
Hwa Xiong, Li Jue, and the others added up to a hundred thousand men.
Of course, Lu Bu did not have the courage to fight with Hwa Xiong. He could only flee Chang 'an like a stray dog.
"Everyone, I have something to announce."
Wang Yun looked at the ministers present and said.
The hall was silent.
"Wen Hou and my daughter have already decided on a marriage agreement and are preparing to get married.”
In fact, Shi Sun Rui and the other ministers already knew about the engagement between Hua Xiong and Diao Chan.
However, Wang Yun's public announcement today was also indirectly telling everyone that he was in cahoots with Hwa Xiong.
"Congratulations, Wen Hou!”
"A man and a woman, a pair of beauties!"
The ministers tried their best to flatter Hwa Xiong.
Everyone laughed and laughed again.
Only then did Hua Xiong bring Jia Xu and Gao Shun back to his own residence.
"General, what do you plan to do next?”
Jia Xu suddenly asked.
Hwa Xiong was stunned." Wen He, what do you mean?”
" General, you have a large army in your hands. If you marry the adopted daughter of the head of the civil officials, Wang Situ, then the entire Chang 'an will fall into your hands.”
"Although the world is currently in chaos, the various feudal lords and factions still revere the Imperial Court in name. Since the general could control the imperial court's army, he could use the imperial court's name to crusade against them!”
"Only in this way can we complete the great cause of unification!”
Jia Xu looked at Hwa Xiong with bright eyes.
Gao Shun, who was at the side, also had a nervous expression.
"Are you saying…to use the Son of Heaven to command the princes?”
Hwa Xiong's one sentence made Jia Xu and Gao Shun's expressions become strange.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Hwa Xiong looked at Jia Xu doubtfully.
Jia Xu's words just now were similar to what Cao Cao did in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Cao held Liu Xie hostage and commanded the heroes of the world.
If anyone disobeyed, they would send troops to attack in the name of the emperor.
However, what Hwa Xiong didn't know was that this sentence was quite rebellious.
This could not help but let Jia Xu and Gao Shun's imagination run wild.
His general had said this so openly. Could it be that he also had ambitions?
In that case, if he could assist the lord in taking that position, as the first confidant to follow him, wouldn't he be able to…
Thinking of this, Jia Xu's expression turned solemn and he bowed deeply to Hua Xiong.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Gao Shun came to his senses and hurriedly bowed to Hwa Xiong.
"Greetings, my lord."
Only Hwa Xiong was dumbfounded.
What's going on? I just casually said something, why are these two people bowing to me?
