Jizhou, Xindu.

In the palace of Emperor Liu Xie, there were lights and colorful decorations, and there were joy everywhere.

Because this is the first birthday of the emperor since he ascended the throne in Jizhou.

In the territory occupied by Yuan Shao in Jizhou, officials of all sizes and big and small tried their best to collect rare treasures and offer them to His Majesty. Many of the princes outside Jizhou also led their personal soldiers to congratulate him, which gave Liu Xie enough face.

Yuan Shaoxin suffered from the pain of losing his son and stayed in the door and handed over all the matters such as birthday gifts to Tian Feng.

Even so, Liu Xie's birthday was still very lively. The palace was filled with officials and princes everywhere, and everyone was smiling happily. Even if they were just pretending, they did not dare to show any worry about the current adverse situation.

The princes of Guandong, including Liu Bei, Liu Yu, and Gongsun Zan, all came to congratulate. Only Cao Cao did not come in person because of the long journey, but also sent someone to express his congratulations and gave him a heavy gift.

The hall was bustling with people. There were many officials standing in front of them, and the hall was filled with laughter. On the tables in the hall, there were precious gifts everywhere, with a dazzling array of gifts.

Liu Xie was wearing a royal robe and a flat crown on his head. He sat high on the throne, and his slightly childish face was filled with joy.

Since I came to Jizhou, I have become the emperor again. Although I still have no real power, all the princes in the world respect me, which is much better than when I swallowed my anger under Dong Zhuo. Now there are so many princes coming to worship me. As long as I cultivate my confidants, I will attack Luoyang in the future and regain the position of Emperor. I will be worthy of my reputation!

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan sat together and greeted each other. They were originally a disciple of the same master and had a very good relationship. They had not seen each other for a long time. Now they meet again and are happy.

When talking about the recent situation, both of them couldn't help but sigh. They were all great princes with heavy troops, and they didn't have to be as trembling as ordinary officials. They dared to raise an unfavorable situation on this festive day.

When talking about his beheaded general and his army was wiped out by the army, Gongsun Zan cursed, very cruel, and he didn't leave any way to survive.

Liu Bei sneered in his heart, thinking that Gongsun Zan's troops were burning, killing, looting in the plain city, and secretly hated him. He was indeed peaceful on his face, and he was still comforting Gongsun Zan from time to time, saying that in the future, the soldiers of all the princes knocked on the Huzhu and attacked Luoyang, and there would be a time to avenge him.

When talking about Zhang Chao, who was captured by the pseudo-de-Chief of Luoyang, both of them shook their heads and said nothing. Zhang Chao was captured by the special agent team sent by Huang Shang in Yanzhou. Although Yanzhou is vast and there are sparsely populated areas, Liu Bei's power cannot take care of it, but it is still a shame to have allies captured by the enemy in his own territory.

Let go of this matter, and the two chatted casually, discussing the plan to join forces to attack Luoyang next year, and their mood gradually improved.

While the crowd was laughing, he suddenly heard the celebrating raising his voice and shouted: "Jizhou Shangjialuoxuan presented a box of glass pearls, wishing Your Majesty a long life and heaven!"

The officials in the crowd were shocked. The value of Li Mingzhu was extraordinary. Someone actually offered a box of Li Mingzhu. Who has such great financial resources?

After hearing this, Liu Xie was curious and called out: "Take it up!"

Then a wealthy businessman with luxurious clothes brought a big box and handed it to the host. The host carefully delivered it to it. Liu Xie was about to open it when he heard a shout: "Let's wait!"

Everyone was shocked. When they looked again, Liu Bei stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I see this box, it's very dangerous. Why not take it below and let others open it to see if there is a hidden mechanism? How about it?"

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Liu Bei. The man who offered the Li Mingzhu looked resentful and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the villain is loyal to Your Majesty, so he spent all his money and bought this Li Mingzhu to offer it to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the villain is willing to open this box himself!"

Liu Xie looked at him, then looked at Liu Bei, nodded and said, "Okay, go and open it!"

The rich businessman walked up and opened the box with his chubby double-opening. He saw jewelry qi shot out from the box, and the guests in the hall exclaimed.

In the box, there were glass pearls as big as longans. Under the light, it was crystal clear and dazzling, making everyone stunned.

Looking at the stunned look on everyone's face, Luo Xuan smiled with satisfaction, quietly retreated, and hid behind the crowd.

Among the princes, Qiao Mao was the most greedy for money. When he saw that there were so many pearls he had dreamed of, he was in front of him. He became greedy and stood up and walked to the hall to bow and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to check these glass pearls with my own hands, so as not to have any mechanism inside!"

Seeing Liu Xie nodding, Qiao Mao walked over and reached into the box of Li Mingzhu, and said in his heart: "Hey, so many beautiful pearls are indeed priceless, much bigger than the two in my house! I just hope that the little emperor can give me a few to see if I am willing to take the risk of checking him."

On the side, Gongsun Zan smiled coldly, despised Qiao Mao's greed for money, and walked over and said, "According to my opinion, such a precious pearl must not be a fake. Liu Sha did not have so much spare money to buy such a precious pearl to set up a murder mechanism! There is no need to check it, just send it to His Majesty!"

Liu Bei was shocked and stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Zan, and said in surprise: "It's unreliable!"

The two were pulling, and suddenly they saw Qiao Mao pick up a handful of glass pearls, with a greedy look on his face and smiled: "It's indeed the best pearl, this color..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly said wonderingly: "Hey, why is there a black rope in this box?"

Before he finished speaking, a loud bang sounded in the hall. The light in front of everyone was thrilling, and then his ears were roaring and tilted.

In the box, half a box of glass pearls was filled with explosives, and Qiao Mao pulled it and exploded, exploding the sharp iron sheets hidden inside and the glass pearls were splattered all over the sky. Qiao Mao was the first to be hit and fell to the ground with blood and flesh, his face and body covered with iron sheets and glass fragments.

When Liu Bei saw the black rope, he knew something was wrong. He hugged Gongsun Zan and threw it on him, but it was too late. The glass beads stirred up by the explosion hit him hard a few times, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't help but scream.

Gongsun Zan, who was pressed to the ground by him, was even more unlucky. His left eye was shot by a glass bead and hit hard. He immediately broke his eyeballs, his face covered with blood, covered his eyes, and screamed in the sky.

Liu Xie, who was sitting on the top, was much more lucky. He watched a pile of glass beads flying towards him. He screamed in fear, but only one glass bead flew into his mouth, knocked off two front teeth, and fell to the sky. The other glass beads were empty and smashed onto the throne, causing fragments.

The guests in the hall were also affected by the fish and were beaten to scream.

Such huge light and sounds were unheard of by everyone. Suddenly, someone shouted in chaos: "Thunder God is coming, we are going to kill us!"

When everyone heard this, they were so scared that they were scattered and got up from the ground and ran around.

Everyone knows that Thunder God has a good relationship with the mighty king of Luoyang. If Thunder God comes here, or the demon Huang Shang uses magic tricks and ask Thunder God to come down to earth to kill the emperor Liu Xie, wouldn’t everyone in this hall die under thunder and lightning?

In fear, the guests in the hall shouted wildly and fled. Even the soldiers had no intention of maintaining order. They rushed out of the door and fled in scattered areas. No one dared to stay in this place where Thunder God was raging.

When Liu Xie heard Thunder God coming, his scalp was even more scared and he cried under the throne, not daring to make a sound. He held his bloody teeth in his mouth and almost cried.

In a panic, Liu Bei raised his arm and roared: "Don't panic! This is the mechanism set up in the box. Now that the box is broken, it's okay!"

In the panic, no one was willing to listen to him. Only the followers he brought, led by Zhang Fei, worked hard to maintain order.

After a long chaos, everyone settled down and walked to Qiao Mao tremblingly when he looked at him, Qiao Mao was already very angry and pretended to be terrible.

This explosion directly killed a prince and two officials from Jizhou. The rest were injured countless times, and even the emperor Liu Xie was killed with two front teeth, which was a heavy casualty.

A large number of doctors were arrested by soldiers to treat the injured. The emperor was fine. Although he had lost two teeth and could not be held again, he was just talking and leaking air.

Gongsun Zan was indeed seriously injured, with only one of his eyes left since then. Of course, he was very angry and gritted his teeth and scolded him, only hating those who were hurting others with hidden arrows.

The soldiers searched for Luo Xuan, who was offering birthday gifts everywhere, but could not find him anywhere. As early as the explosion, he had already slipped away in the chaos and left a note in the hotel room, mocking and insulting Liu Xie and the princes of various towns. Liu Xie, who saw the soldiers presenting the note, almost cried in public.

This explosion was originally an assassination carefully planned by the Hei Chao Agent Group. Although they took advantage of Zhang Chao's departure from his territory and defeated his troops in one fell swoop, the captive Zhang Chao did not dare to fight with Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan head-on. This time, the extra Li Mingzhu sent from Qingzhou set up a murderous intent. Although he had not killed Liu Xie, he also killed Qiao Mao. In addition, Zhang Chao was caught, which eliminated two of the fourteen princes who had planned to rebel and killed the rebellious arrogance of Guandong.

Apart from the assassination, there are only soldiers and guests hiding in the dark. When no one noticed, someone tried to grab the scattered glass pearls on the ground. Although most of them were broken, if they were secretly taken out, they could be sold at a sky-high price, which was enough for their family to spend half their lives.

When the situation calmed down, the guests went back and thought, and they were all frightened. The Luoyang court actually used such precious treasures to set up a trap. From this, it can be seen that the court's financial resources were already unimaginable. With such powerful financial resources, who could resist if they wanted to organize a huge army? Since then, the hearts of the people in Jizhou have gradually dissipated.

Of course, someone went to report Yuan Shao to Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao heard about this, he secretly rejoiced that he was in a bad mood and did not go out to pay the birthday of the boy, so he was spared this disaster. When he was about to visit him, he saw Gongsun Zan, who had always been disliked, wrapped one eye with white cloth. He couldn't help but feel happy and felt very happy. His long-term depressed mood gradually improved.

Zhang Xi rode a war horse and stood in the trenches of the barracks. He personally supervised the battle. He yelled loudly for a hundred years and ordered the soldiers to do it faster.

Behind the defeated soldiers, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came. A cavalry penetrated the thick fog, drove into the enemy's rear formation, and slashed and slashed.

The female soldiers riding on the horse skillfully waved their swords, drove their horses and galloped into the enemy army, swung their swords hard, and slashed heavily at the remaining soldiers in tattered clothes.

The rebels behind waved their swords and guns in fear, but were swung down in the air by the sharp steel knife. They instantly tore off their armor and fell to the ground with screams, their faces and blood.

Although those cavalry have been trained for a long time, they are still slashing and slashing in real swords and guns. It is the first time they suddenly see blood, and they are inevitably panic and hesitant to move.

The female general who led the team was just in her youth and looked pretty, but she was quite calm. She made a loud order, ordering the female soldiers to do it strictly according to their usual training and not to be ruthless to the enemy.

While talking, she did not dare to relax at all. She shook her wrist and pierced the defense of an enemy soldier in front of her, pierced her throat and stabbed him to the ground.

Zhang Xi heard the chaos in the rear when he heard it in front, and was worried that he was not good enough, so he hurriedly led the elite soldiers and rushed to the rear.

The rebels in front were still sacrificing their lives to fight against the female soldiers behind the camp. Zhang Xi had to block the cavalry from behind before they broke through the camp, preventing them from breaking through the army and killing the soldiers in the rear team.

Amid the roar, Zhang Xi lifted his sword and horse, crossed the army, and galloped quickly towards the female generals in the land who led his army to kill his soldiers.

The girl was urging the enemy soldiers with a gun, and suddenly saw Zhang Xi slapping the horse and slapping the horse, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face. She gritted her teeth, rushed towards Zhang Xi, raised her spear and pointed it straight into his throat.

Zhang Xi waved his knife and looked at it, and with a loud noise, he split the spear.

The two horses intertwined, and Zhang Xi waved his sword to slash at the back of the female general, but she was blocked by Su Qin's sword with the handle of the gun.

The two of them turned around and were ready to fight.

Zhang Xi looked closely and saw that the female general was very young, only over ten years old. She was extremely beautiful, with big eyes dark and bright, and quite agile. Although she was on the battlefield, she couldn't help but cheer herself secretly, and there was such a stunning beauty in the world.

With a big sword raised, Zhang Xi shouted loudly: "Who is that woman? Sign up quickly! This general has never wanted to kill a woman in his life. If you want to survive, lead your troops back!"

The girl bit her cherry lips hard, but did not answer. She rode her horse towards Zhang Xi, and her spear suddenly stabbed out, like a poisonous snake coming out of the hole. She quickly stabbed Zhang Xi's face.

Seeing that the gun was so fast, Zhang Xi couldn't help but feel shocked. He immediately waved his knife to block it. The two of them circled the horse and fought together.

Female soldiers in other places were riding on war horses. According to the usual training instructions, they rode their horses among the rebels and rushed the enemy into pieces. When they swung the steel knife, countless enemy soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. They gradually killed them easily and became flexible. Soon, they dispersed the enemy soldiers in the back team and fled in the wild.

The rebels who were rushing to the camp in front were panicked when they saw the rear team disintegrating. Not only did the offensive gradually stopped, they were attacked and killed by the female soldiers behind the camp in front, shouting loudly and rushing towards the rebels.

Behind, the female cavalry had already swung their swords and rode their horses back. The rebels were attacked on both sides, and there was still a fighting spirit there. They shouted and fled from all directions. Soon after, they were caught up by the cavalry. In the flash of cold light, the steel knife slashed in the air, shattering their heads and bodies, and tragically killed them.

In the four fields, shouts of "Surrendering those who surrender are exempt from death" sounded everywhere. Although it was a woman's voice, it was still full of the spirit of slaughter on the bloody battlefield.

Although it was too embarrassing to surrender to the woman, it would be better to die at the hands of the woman. The rebels knelt down and begged for mercy, and were driven to a place by the female soldiers and took care of it.

Most of the cavalry went out to pursue the remaining enemies in the wilderness, while the small half surrounded them, surrounded their generals in the center, and watched nervously at her confrontation with the enemy generals.

Here, Zhang Xi was already in a hurry to death. When he saw that his subordinates had been killed, he felt in a mess and could not resist the enemy.

The female soldiers around, riding on the war horses, saw the main general gaining the upper hand, were very energetic, raised their swords and shouted, "Mrs. Gan! Mrs. Gan!" The voice was filled with excitement and admiration.

The one who led the army to block the road, defeated the rebels, and killed Zhang Xi without any ability to fight back was the concubine of the King of Wuwei, who was young and beautiful.

Her marksmanship was taught by Feng Sha personally, and she was extraordinary. Her long-term battle with Feng Sha has allowed her to accumulate experience in calculating battles. In addition, Feng Sha is fierce in his actions. Although he is careful not to hurt her, he does not leave too much room. After experiencing such a strong confrontation, he will naturally be at ease when facing the veteran Zhang Xi who is over the top.

Zhang Xi was both afraid and sad and angry. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by a woman in his half-life. The King of Wuwei was so powerful that this woman was probably his concubine, but she didn't expect that she would be so powerful.

When his mind was confused, many tricks could not be used. Gan Tianer could see the flaws. He sniffed Zhang Xi's defense and rushed straight to his chest.

Faced with the threat of death, Zhang Xi was extremely sad and angry, and roared loudly. He roared a lifelong weapon. He waved the big knife and slashed at Gan Tian'er's head. It was a move that died together.

Gan Tianer gently held the war horse with her legs, rushed forward, and rushed towards Zhang Xi. The spear turned slightly in the air, but still stabbed Zhang Xi. Because the war horse rushed forward, it slightly lost its correct head and stabbed Zhang Xi with a thud.

The sharp gun tip made of stainless steel immediately pierced through the armor, and blood surged out. Zhang Xi cut the air with one knife, and after this shot, he could hold the big knife there. The heavy big knife flew out of his hand, flew over behind Gantian'er's horse, and fell to the ground from afar.

The severe pain came, half of his body was numb. Zhang Xi shouted, and he fell to the sky and hit the horse. If it weren't for the protection of the battle helmet, he would have almost smashed his head to pieces.
