Can I get to the other side?

With Ma Chao's death, the outcome of this battle was determined.

Although there are still many enemy troops on the battlefield, without a leader, they are nothing more than a rabble.

What's more, Ma Chao's death caused their morale to plummet.

Therefore, the remaining enemy troops were quickly defeated under the stranglehold of the reinforcements. They were either massacred or surrendered on their knees. The entire battlefield was filled with blood.

Liu Xie had been watching the battlefield under the protection of the Tiger Ben Army and Yu Linqi from the rear. After seeing that the victory was established, he finally felt relieved.

"It's not too late after all."

He noticed that when the reinforcements arrived, the defenders of Chang'an City were already fighting fiercely with Ma Chao. If he had arrived so late, I am afraid that all the defenders would have died on the battlefield.

At this time, Zhao Yun picked up Ma Chao's head with a spear, rode his horse to the front of Liu Xie, then knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the traitor Ma Chao's head has been laid to death!"

"The leader of the thief is here, your Majesty, please take a look!"

Zhao Yun's white robe and silver armor were covered in blood at this time. Although it was the enemy's blood, he was not injured, but he still looked evil.

Liu Xie glanced at Ma Chao's dead head and snorted coldly: "It's really an advantage for him to die like this!"

Considering the crimes Ma Chao committed, it would not be an exaggeration to kill Ling Chi with a thousand cuts, but it would be too satisfying to be killed by Zhao Yun so easily.

Zhao Yun felt ashamed and said: "I failed to capture Ma Chao alive and bring him before your Majesty. This is my incompetence. Please punish me."

He was angry and wanted to kill, so he didn't hold back. After seizing the opportunity, he killed Ma Chao directly.

Liu Xie looked back and said with a faint smile: "I just said it casually. Zilong's killing of Ma Chao was a great achievement. What crime is there?"

"Besides, in a battle on the battlefield, life and death can happen in an instant. I don't want Zilong to be injured because he held back his hand."

Zhao Yun's heart warmed when he heard this, he clasped his fists heavily and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"

During the conversation between the two.

The battle on the battlefield was completely over, and generals such as Yuan Xi, Gao Lan, Ma Teng, and Pang De also rushed over at this time.

"See Your Majesty——!"

All the generals dismounted and saluted.

Each of them had more or less wounds on their bodies, all of which were left in the fierce battle just now.

Among them, Gao Lan looks the most miserable.

Because he moved too much during the battle, the arrow wound on his back burst open, so he bled a lot. At this time, the blood was flowing down the armor.

Liu Xie couldn't help being shocked when he saw this. He immediately got off his horse and came to Gao Lan to check his injuries. Then he cursed with heartache and anger: "Ma Chao is a thief! You almost lost one of my favorite generals!"

As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked Ma Chao's head hard, sending him flying away and landing far away in the mud and a pool of blood.

Then, he turned around and shouted to Yang Xiu and Chen Gong behind him: "Quickly call the medical officer to treat the injuries of General Gao and other generals!"

Chen Gong and Yang Xiu retreated in response.

After doing all this, Liu Xie turned around again, pulled off the cloak behind him, wiped Gao Lan's blood, and said with emotion: "General Gao, you have worked hard!"

Gao Lan was extremely moved at this time. The emperor used his cloak to kill the blood of his ministers. What kind of honor is this?

Hearing Liu Xie's words, he said with red eyes: "For Your Majesty, I will die without regrets!"

Liu Xie helped him up, and then said to Yuan Xi and others: "Thank you for your hard work. Chang'an was saved. You are all heroes!"

"If you hadn't waited, Chang'an would have been massacred by the traitor Ma Chao, and the people in the city would have been in ruins."

Ma Teng said with a guilty look on his face: "All this is caused by this evil beast. It is the so-called fault of a son who does not teach his father. I have such a scum in my Ma family, and I cannot escape the blame. I dare not take credit for it, and I will give it to your majesty for punishment." ”

Although he had already drawn a clear line with Ma Chao and firmed his stance, the blood relationship could not be broken off just yet.

He didn't ask for any reward, he just asked that the crimes committed by Ma Chao would not implicate his Ma family.

Liu Xie heard the worry and panic in Ma Teng's words, and comforted him: "General Ma, what he said is serious. Am I the kind of person who can't distinguish between right and wrong, black and white?"

"General Ma, like Xian Yi, is a hero who kills relatives for justice. I can tell the difference clearly."

There is the example of Yuan Xi.

This matter is very simple to deal with.

Liu Xie's words directly characterized all the crimes as Ma Chao's personal actions and did not involve the Ma family, and this was mainly due to Ma Teng's performance.

Ma Teng was relieved when he heard this. What he was most worried about was that the Ma family would be punished by the emperor's anger. Now it seems that he can put down this worry.

At this time, Yuan Xi said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I was able to defend Chang'an is largely due to the strong support of the soldiers and people in the city."

"In addition, Zhongshu Ling also worked hard and even accidentally got hit by a stray arrow and was seriously injured."

The purpose of Yuan Xi's words was to let the emperor know in advance who should take the credit for guarding Chang'an City.

In order to avoid waiting for the emperor to enter the city, all the officials in the court would stand up to compete for credit. Those guys were all clamoring to abandon the city at the beginning.

"Wen He was hit by an arrow?!"

Liu Xie's expression couldn't help but change when he heard this. He never expected that someone like Jia Xu, who was so good at protecting himself wisely, would actually get hurt!

Gao Lan nodded and said sadly: "Zhongshu Ling climbed the city wall yesterday to inspect the enemy's situation. Unexpectedly, the enemy troops outside the city suddenly launched an attack. Zhongshu Ling was hit by a stray arrow while retreating."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie did not hesitate and said immediately: "Enter the city immediately!"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia are his real right-hand men. No matter who they lose, it is a huge loss to him.

Of course, more importantly, Jia Xu accompanies him in his rise to prominence, and the friendship between them is very deep.

After giving the instructions, Liu Xie got on his horse and rode towards Chang'an City.

The generals followed closely.

…

In Chang'an City, Jia Xu's residence.

After Jia Xu fell into coma on the city wall, he was carried back to his residence to recuperate. At this time, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were treating him, and all the officials were also here.

After Liu Xie entered the city, he rushed straight to Jia Xu's mansion, turning a blind eye to the officials who saluted him, and walked through the crowd to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Liu Xie saw Jia Xu lying on the bed with a pale and lifeless face and his eyes closed, and he became even more worried.

"Mr. Hua, Mr. Zhang, how is Wen He's injury?"

Liu Xie asked Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Neither of them expected that the emperor would come in person. They bowed first, and then Hua Tuo, who had more experience in trauma, said: "Your Majesty, Zhongshu Ling lost a lot of blood after being hit by an arrow yesterday, and today he is holding on to his body. The city wall was inspected, so he fell into a coma. "

"But don't worry, Your Majesty, Zhongshu Ling is not seriously injured. All you need to do is cut open his wound, squeeze out the congestion inside, and then apply some homemade medicine."

Jia Xu joined the army in his early years, and he cultivated his body and nature on weekdays. His physique is still very good, so there is no big problem.

Liu Xie felt relieved and then stepped forward to visit Jia Xu's injury.

The location where Jia Xu was hit by the arrow was on his left shoulder blade. Fortunately, there were no important organs here. If it were three inches further down, he would probably have died.

The medical conditions in ancient times were no better than those in later generations.

Liu Xie glanced at the wound, and then leaned over to explore Jia Xu's wound in full view of everyone.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

Hua Tuo's eyes widened when he saw this.

Even Zhang Zhongjing looked shocked.

Because the emperor actually used his mouth to help Jia Xu suck the blood from the wound!

Not only the two of them, but also the civil and military officials gathered outside the bedroom were all shocked after seeing such a scene.

After the shock, I felt sincere envy!

Even jealous!

The emperor is the most noble person in the world. Today, the emperor has monopoly power and is not restricted by anyone.

But such a noble being did not dislike the dirt and blood, and personally sucked the wounds of his ministers!

This kind of glory is even worse than climbing to the top of Lingyun Pavilion!

"If I can be treated like this by His Majesty, I will die without regrets!"

"Your Majesty really values ​​Zhongshu Ling..."

"Zhongshu Ling has made great contributions to guarding Chang'an. He deserves this. We must keep a normal mind and a normal heart..."

"Normal? Your eyes are red!"

"Your Majesty is truly a model of a wise king!"

All the officials were envious, because in a sense, Liu Xie's behavior was even better than "the emperor demoted his rank and Yu Lin bowed his head".

It directly reflects the importance attached to Jia Xu!

Liu Xie didn't care about the eyes of others. He sucked out the blood from Jia Xu's wound one by one and spit it out. Only after all the blood was sucked out, did he stand up.

"Two gentlemen, please ask Haosheng to take care of Jia Aiqing. I still have many matters to deal with, so I won't stay here any longer."

Liu Xie raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

After hearing this, the two of them recovered from the shock and saluted one after another: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely ensure that the order is safe."

Liu Xie's behavior of sucking the blood and leaving immediately impressed them even more, because if he wanted to win people's hearts, he would definitely wait here until Jia Xu woke up.

But Liu Xie was about to leave after finishing his work, which showed that what he did just now was entirely out of concern for Jia Xu, not for show.

"Thank you both."

Liu Xie nodded, then walked out of the bedroom and glanced at the officials outside, "Dear ladies, please follow me back to the palace."

"According to the decree——"

All the ministers bowed their heads.

…

Royal Palace, main entrance on the south.

Lu Lingqi was sitting in front of the palace gate. Today she was wearing armor and her hair was tied into a high ponytail. She looked capable and heroic.

She looked at the wide street in front of her and wiped the spear in her hand, her eyes very cold.

Today is the day of the decisive battle. Gao Lan and others led all the soldiers and horses out of the city to fight the enemy. Only a few eunuchs were left in the palace.

Although she did not follow the army out of the city to fight, she was also ready to fight. Whenever she saw an enemy coming, she would step forward to stop them.

I will defend the palace even to the death!

Queen Guo also accompanied Lu Lingqi. After Pang De and others failed to ambush Ma Chao, she was sent back to Chang'an City and all the way back to the palace.

She also knew nothing about the situation outside the city.

"Sister Lu, do you think His Majesty's reinforcements will arrive in time? Can we defeat the rebels outside the city?"

Queen Guo asked Lu Lingqi with a worried look.

She felt very uneasy about this.

"Don't worry, you will win."

Lü Lingqi comforted her softly, "Sister, you don't have to stay with me. Go back to the palace. I can guard here alone."

However, Queen Guo shook her head firmly, her pretty face full of tenacity, and said, "If the city is broken, what's the point of hiding in the palace?"

"Don't worry, sister Lu, if the rebels come, I will commit suicide immediately and will never drag you down."

Queen Guo held a hairpin tightly in her hand.

As she spoke, she gestured on her snow-white neck.

Lü Lingqi didn't say anything after hearing this, but lowered her head and silently wiped the spear, and her eyes became more and more determined.

At this time, bursts of horse hooves came from the end of the street.

Lü Lingqi stood up instantly with a gun in hand, her beautiful eyes staring at the street in the distance, and her mood became nervous.

Could it be... rebels?

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the figure on the horse's back became clearer and clearer, and a face of red and black dragon flags appeared in her field of vision.

And under the dragon flag, there was a tall figure.

Who else could it be if not Liu Xie!

After seeing the figure on the horse, Lv Lingqi was stunned for a moment, and then she felt incomparable joy!

"It's your majesty!"

Lv Lingqi didn't know how to describe her current mood. She was ready to die for her country, but she didn't expect such a surprise!

When Queen Guo saw the familiar figure of Liu Xie, her tense heartstrings also relaxed, and her eyes were full of spirit.

"Your majesty..."

Liu Xie led the Huben Army, Yulin Army, Gao Lan and others to the front of the palace. Seeing Lv Lingqi and Queen Guo at the palace gate, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

But he soon noticed Lv Lingqi's dress and the hairpin held tightly in Queen Guo's hand, and instantly understood what was going on.

"My beloved concubine, Chang'an is safe."

"You are all safe."

Liu Xie turned over and got off the horse. He was covered in dust and showed a gentle smile to the two concubines.

"Your majesty!"

Lv Lingqi and Queen Guo burst into tears of joy.

Then they both threw themselves into Liu Xie's arms.

The many generals and soldiers behind them looked away when they saw this. This was not something they could bear to see.

After crying for a while, Lv Lingqi stopped crying and asked with a choked voice: "Your Majesty, Ying'er is now..."

The only thing she was worried about was her daughter's safety.

Liu Xie said: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine, Ying'er is now in Xiangyang City. She is very safe. I will send someone to take her back to Chang'an later."

Lv Lingqi was completely relieved after hearing this.

Liu Xie smiled at her and said: "I haven't seen you in military uniform for a long time. I am a little uncomfortable seeing you again now."

"But it looks good."

This sentence made Lv Lingqi blush.

Seeing that the relationship between the two was so good, Queen Guo was envious in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

Liu Xie took the spear from Lv Lingqi's hand and pulled her and Queen Guo into the palace together.
