The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 77 North Shore
Xu Huang was carried up the palace steps by two armored soldiers.

Now, even his feet were tied, making it impossible for him to move freely.

Xu Huang wanted to look around the Xuanshi Hall, but before he could raise his head, he was pinned to the ground by the armored soldiers.

"Xu Huang, where is Wang Yun?"

Zhong Yao asked Liu Xie the question that Liu Xie wanted to know most at the moment.

But the only response Zhong Yao got was silence.

Zhong Yao looked back at Xu Huang with an expression that said "as expected".

Although he did not know Xu Huang and did not know what kind of person Xu Huang was, he could tell from the fact that Xu Huang was able to hide in Guanzhong for several months and burn the army's food and grass in one fell swoop that Xu Huang must be a man of strong mind.

It is actually very difficult to extract any useful information from such a person unless he is locked up and tortured.

"Xu Huang."

The person who asked the questions this time was Liu Xie.

Hearing Liu Xie's voice, Xu Huang knocked his head heavily to the ground.

"The guilty Xu Huang pays respect to the Emperor! May Your Majesty be well!"

The sudden greeting plunged the Xuanshi into a strange silence.

Zhang Liao and Xun You both looked at Xu Huang with contempt.

Only Liu Xie knew that Xu Huang was not the kind of person who would flatter others.

But Liu Xie had no time to think at this moment.

"I beg you."

After Liu Xie responded as usual, he asked again: "Where is Wang Yun now?"

"The guilty people don't know!"

Finally got an answer.

But it's the same as no answer.

Liu Xie asked again: "Xu Huang, are you afraid of death?"

Now, not only Zhong Yao, but even Xun You began to shake his head.

Your Majesty's questioning is completely unskillful.

Just a few random threats and the other party will tell the truth?

If things were really that easy, what would be the use of the Imperial Court? What would be the use of the Imperial Prison? Wouldn't it be more peaceful if we just threatened everyone?
But to everyone's surprise, Xu Huang's answer was not "not afraid".

"afraid!"

Xu Huang's head was pressed to the ground, but his voice was still loud.

"The criminals are afraid of death!"

"The criminals are afraid that when they die, they will still be called traitors!"

"When a criminal dies, it can be! It can be a civilian! It can be a soldier! It can be a disciple! But I don't want to die as a thief!"

……

Liu Xie understood what Xu Huang meant.

"No wonder you've been calling yourself a criminal since you came in."

"You, have you always considered yourself a Han Chinese?"

Xu Huang shouted at the top of his voice: "I have always been a Han Chinese!"

Liu Xie waved his hand and asked the two soldiers who were pressing Xu Huang to retreat.

At this moment, Xu Huang raised his head, revealing his square face.

Liu Xie immediately noticed the cloth wrapped around Xu Huang's head.

"Since you are a Han Chinese, why would you raise an army to attack the imperial court?"

"Just follow your orders!"

"Whose life?"

"Wang Yun's order!"

"Is Wang Yun the emperor?"

"No."

"Am I the Son of Heaven?"

"Yes."

"Then tell me, you are not a traitor?"

Xu Huang's face suddenly twisted.

"no!"

Liu Xie asked again: "Were you a Yellow Turban bandit before?"

"Yes."

"Then you still say you are not a traitor?"

"no!"

Xu Huang shouted: "Although we started a rebellion, it was only to beg for a living!"

"Although we use troops, we do so only to follow orders!"

"Your Majesty can kill me, but I will never admit that I am guilty of treason!"

Liu Xie snorted coldly.

"Since you don't admit your guilt, wouldn't it be impulsive for me to kill you?" "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is the father of all people. You can decide the lives of all people in the world! If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they must die!"

The painful and twisted expression on Xu Huang's face gradually dissipated, and gradually became firm, and he had already made up his mind to sacrifice himself heroically.

Liu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, they began to applaud softly.

"Xu Gongming is indeed a great man."

Xu Huang was a little overwhelmed when he was suddenly praised.

"I just asked you if you were afraid of death, and you said you were afraid of dying as a traitor."

"Then let me ask you again, if you were a Han general now, would you still be afraid of death?"

"Not afraid!"

"Okay! Untie me! Take a seat!"

?

Zhang Liao, who knew best how powerful Xu Huang was, quickly stood up and wanted to persuade him.

But he didn't expect that Zhong Yao was faster than him!

"His Majesty!"

Zhong Yao was closest to Liu Xie, and he deliberately lowered his voice when speaking to prevent others from hearing.

"Your Majesty, if we don't kill Xu Huang, we won't be able to explain to the army, right?"

It would have been fine if he had just burned the food supplies, but Xu Huang also killed the Protector-General Hu Zhen!

Hu Zhen's position in the Xiliang Army is extremely important! If the Xiliang Army knew that Liu Xie let Xu Huang go easily, it would probably cause an uproar!

After Liu Xie heard this, he said to Zhong Yao, "Ask the question loudly again!"

?

Zhong Yao didn't understand what it meant, but he still followed Liu Xie's instructions and repeated it loudly:

"If we don't kill Xu Huang, we won't be able to appease the soldiers' resentment!"

Liu Xie raised his eyelids and asked Xu Huang who was standing below: "Did you hear clearly?"

"Listen carefully, criminals!"

"Then answer me again now, do you want to die with the reputation of being a traitor to the Han Dynasty, or do you want to make meritorious contributions and find a chance to become a general of the Han Dynasty before dying?"

"The criminal is willing to make amends for his crime!"

"Then let me ask you again, where is Wang Yun?"

"The guilty people don't know!"

Liu Xie let out a long breath.

It seems that Xu Huang really doesn't know.

It’s a pity that Wang Yun, this poisonous snake, was never caught.

"Tell me all the information Wang Yun has passed on to you."

Liu Xie now has no choice but to try his best to see if he can find any clues.

Unfortunately, Xu Huang still shook his head.

"Wang Situ only sent me an order last month, asking me to meet him on the north bank of the Wei River after the task is completed."

Liu Xie's eyes suddenly widened, and a series of county names on the north bank of the Wei River appeared in his mind -

Dali, Tongchuan, Gaoling, Jingyang, Yongshou, Huaili, Qianxian, Qishan, Linyou...

No.

Too much!
The northern bank of the Wei River simply divides Guanzhong into two halves.

This kind of search for people is still like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is difficult to find their whereabouts.

"No more news?"

"No more news."

Xu Huang shook his head: "Situ Wang only said that the army from Longyou would come to support us at that time, and there was nothing else to say."

Liu Xie was immediately disappointed.

Wang Yun was truly exceptionally cautious. He was even able to hide himself when facing Xu Huang. It was obvious that he was extremely careful!
"His Majesty."

Just when Liu Xie thought he could not get any information from Xu Huang, Xun You suddenly spoke and interrupted Liu Xie's thoughts.

"Did Gongda discover Wang Yun's hiding place?"

Liu Xie was quite surprised, thinking that Xun You had once again taken a step ahead of others with his talent.

"I don't know."

Xun You looked extremely unhappy. He turned sideways and asked Xu Huang, "Did Wang Yun really say that Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops would go to the north bank of the Wei River?"

"Exactly."

Liu Xie was somewhat puzzled: "Why is Gongda saying this? Didn't we already know that Ma Teng and Han Sui would attack Guanzhong?"

Xun You sighed and said leisurely, "Your Majesty, if the Longyou troops come from the direction of Chencang, where will they be?"

where?

of course?

of course……

Liu Xie suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly!
"Ma Teng and Han Sui...don't attack Chencang!!!"
