Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C364
When they arrived at the Luoyang, the commander of the city gates ordered and surrounded them. It was just that because of the Young Emperor Liu Bian, the soldiers did not dare face him with weapons. Although the city guard general had the authority of a soldier, his position was low, so he immediately asked for Lu Zhi’s help. However, Lu Zhi was not Yuan Zhong, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, he had always respected the Son of Heaven, and would not dare to cripple his etiquette, so he would not forcefully take Liu Bian from Zhang Ren’s hands. He could only order the city guards to release Liu Bian.
The reason why Zhang Nan chose to escape from the North Gate was because he heard that hussar general’s army had set up camp there. His plans were extremely thorough, and he brought the Son of Heaven to Yang Lin’s camp, relying on the hussar general’s powerful army to take advantage of the situation.
But it was already late in the night, and there was no moon in the sky. However, everyone was closed and had already gone to sleep. It wasn’t easy to get a few families to open up and ask around, but no one knew where the hussar general’s camp was. So it turns out that the Zhang Banxian had just set up camp yesterday afternoon, how could ordinary people know?
“No more questions. Let’s head north to Hanoi.” Helpless, Zhang Nan could only bring the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu to continue heading north. He did not dare to stay near the Luoyang for long. If he was caught by the Yuan Uncle and his nephew, they would not be as polite as Lu Zhi. As long as he passed through the Yellow River and reached the Hanoi County, he would be in Yang Lin’s territory.
Walking out of the North Gate, he would enter Luoyang’s natural barrier. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to traverse, so Zhang Jean and Duan Gui could only carry Young Emperor Liu Bian and King Chen Liu Liu Xie and walk forward. It was a pity that the two ignorant children were suddenly thrown into chaos. They witnessed countless soldiers killing each other with their own eyes. Blood filled the entire city, so how could their minds not collapse?
Until the afternoon of the second day, when Zhang Banxian finally received a reply from Yang Lin. At this time, Yang Lin had already followed the army to the Hanoi County. Regarding the news that was reported by the Zhang Banxian, Yang Lin was not surprised at all. He immediately replied back to tell the Zhang Banxian that the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu had probably been kidnapped by Zhang Ye. Therefore, Yang Lin ordered Zhang Banxian to think of a way to save the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu, and deliver them to Hanoi immediately.
In fact, Yang Lin was also very conflicted in his heart. If he were to take control of the heavens and break the course of history, would the Darky Court reverse the history of the intense battle, and realize ZTE? If that was really the case, the Darkhan Dynasty was more consolidated. The The people of the world was still suffering under the imperial regime, what was the point of his own hard work?
However, if he were to carry out reforms and abolish the imperial system, would those Scholars and Wealthy Classes be able to accept it? If that was the case, then the imperial government would immediately be shaken, everyone in the world would think of Yang Lin as a vicious and rebellious individual, and group together to attack him! After thinking about it, Yang Lin decided to let the Zhang Banxian give it a try. If she could save her, she would save her.
After Zhang Banxian finished reading Yang Lin’s letter, she couldn’t help but be secretly delighted in her heart. If she could save the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu, that would be a great contribution. Moreover, once it was delivered to Hanoi, the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu would be in the hands of the cavalry of Youzhou.
He immediately sent his exorcism to scout around for the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu. It turned out that the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu had already been kidnapped by Zhang Lie last night, and he was even asking all over to find out about cavalry of Youzhou’s camp. However, because no one knew about it, Zhang Rong had already brought the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu to Mang Shan. From the looks of it, they were going to cross the Yellow River and go into the river.
“Gather the troops immediately and head over to the Duke’s side to protect you.” Seeing that such a great achievement was about to slip away from her hands, Zhang Banxian really wanted to slap herself a few times. He did not dare delay any longer, and immediately brought Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to run towards Mang Shan.
There were more and more optimistic groups, and Dong Zhuo’s face was turning uglier and uglier. Although the troops were showing the attitude of surrounding the northern troop, but Dong Zhuo was on tenterhooks. If they turned the tables, his three thousand riders wouldn’t be enough for them.
At this point, he truly regretted listening to Li Ru’s suggestion. Rather than remaining in the Luoyang and being scared, he might as well return there. After all, that was his home and a place where he had risen to power. His most important connections were all in the West Cold.
Just as Dong Zhuo was thinking, his brother, Lieutenant Dong Min, sent an urgent letter. In the urgent letter, Dong Min told Dong Zhuo that Zhang Qinghong and King Chen Liu had already escaped from the North Gate last night and were probably heading to Hanoi County.
“Lord General, what a godsend chance!” Li Ru almost jumped in joy when he saw Dong Min’s letter. Lord General, the Son of Heaven was in danger, if Lord General saved the Son of Heaven, then it would be a huge contribution. You can’t lose the opportunity, you won’t come if you lose it! ”
“Gather the troops immediately, let’s go save the Son of Heaven.” Of course, Dong Zhuo knew the meaning behind Duke Gong’s words. How many people dreamed of such an opportunity? Moreover, he didn’t dare to stay here. He decisively gave his order without the slightest hesitation.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Zhang and his group arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, Little Pingjin. He could already see the Hanoi County and Zhang Rong could not help but heave a sigh of relief. However, just as he relaxed for a moment, he suddenly discovered that Little Ping was completely empty. There were no garrisons nor boats.
Since the beginning of the Yellow Turtle Intifada, in order to protect the Luoyang, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong had built a pass at the roads and crossings around the Luoyang, and had sent many people to guard it. However, yesterday, in order to seize control of the northern troop, Yuan Shao had to gather all of these soldiers to pacify the enemy.
Looking at the mighty Yellow River, Zhang Yang’s face was ashen, and his heart was filled with regret. He looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh as he muttered to himself, “Oh my god …” The famous Ferry Little Pingjin, actually does not have a single boat. Could it be that Master truly wants me to destroy him? ”
“General director, now is not the time to feel emotional. Let’s hurry up and find some boats to cross the river.” Although Song Dian was also depressed, he didn’t want to sit still and wait for death. He immediately suggested to Zhang: “General Manager, quickly send people to search for boats nearby and prepare to cross the Yellow River.”
However, Min Gung, who had been following them, became impatient. From last night until this morning, they had neither eaten nor drank nor rested. They were already exhausted. Seeing that Zhang Jean wanted to find a boat to cross the river, Min Gong became extremely angry, “Zhang Jean, now that things have come to this, are you still so stubborn that you want to go against the will of the heavens? If you still don’t die, I’ll come and kill you! ”
Although Lu Zhi was loyal, but at this time, he was furious. Pointing to Zhang Jean, he bellowed: “External relatives, eunuchs, these are two of my big men’s tumor, and they both died today. This is a sign that the heavens are trying to make us big men happy, are you not going to surrender and kill us nine families?”
“The decline of big men is not something that we trash can do.” When Master Lu Zhi was fighting the yellow scarves, didn’t his soldiers also disturb the houses and become the villains of the villagers? ” Zhang Can looked around at the soldiers behind Lu Zhi, and said dejectedly: “Born in this world, and was our misfortune, there is no need to lament over this. first emperor has been gone for quite a while, and this old servant has occasionally met you in his dreams. This old servant often teared up, and since I have nowhere to go today, I might as well follow you. ”
“Master Lu Zhi said that we will kill them all. But this old servant thinks that if we leave now, Luoyang is empty and the big sized one might face annihilation. ” Zhang Rou looked at Lu Zhi and said sincerely: “Master Lu Zhi is loyal, not as crafty and rebellious as uncle and nephew of the Yuan Family. Please help the Son of Heaven and not allow him to marry the Yuan Family daughter, or even be threatened by an influential official.”
Lu Zhi remained expressionless and remained silent.
“His Majesty has been raised in a Daoist’s home, and is unable to scheme for anything. Once we are all dead, who will stop the powerful officials for His Majesty?! Sigh … Your Majesty, you better work hard. Don’t let this big fellow, who has travelled thousands of miles, be destroyed by your hand. ” Zhang Fu took a few steps back, kowtowed to Young Emperor Liu Bian, and said, “I can only wish that I can serve Your Majesty for a few years, and repay first emperor’s great kindness …”
Lu Zhi and Min Gong saw that Zhang Ci had thoughts of self-deprecating, and quietly watched Zhang Ci, allowing him to bid his farewells to Young Emperor Liu Bian. No matter what, Zhang Fu was loyal to Hanling Emperor Liu Hong. Just based on the word “loyal”, Lu Zhi could not bear to kill Zhang Jean.
Just as Zhang Gong kowtowed to kowtow and worship Young Emperor Liu Xie, Song Dian suddenly cried out: “General Manager, hussar general’s army!”
Zhang Yang quickly turned his head and saw a large troop of cavalry rushing over from the north side of the Yellow River. Although he couldn’t see the symbol on the flag, he could tell that this cavalry army had at least one ten thousand people from the smoke and dust raised by the war horses. And to the north of the Yellow River, other than Yang Lin, who would have so many cavalrymen?
Seeing the incoming cavalry, Lu Zhi was also surprised. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The Son of Heaven had fallen into Yang Lin’s hands. His wife and eunuchs had all been annihilated. To save the Son of Heaven, the Yuan family had the sole authority. How could they control a powerful general?
Zhang Guan, who was already set on death, suddenly saw the large army of Yang Lin rushing over from the north lakeshore, and his mind raced again. As long as Yang Lin was not an idiot, he would definitely know the value of the Son of Heaven. If he could hold on for a little longer, he would be able to wait for Yang Lin to cross the Yellow River.
Zhang Yin pulled Young Emperor Liu Bian to his side. This was an attempt to use the power of the Son of Heaven to threaten Lu Zhi. If Lu Zhi disregarded the Young Emperor Liu Bian’s safety and killed him by force, he would definitely be ridiculed by the various officials of the imperial government. They would attack Lu Zhi for seeking great merits, but they would not care about Gu Tianzi’s safety.
Min Gon looked at the riders on the other side of the river, terrified. If he let those cavalrymen cross the river, even his own troops wouldn’t be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. He was at a loss at the moment, and could only ask Lu Zhi: “Master Shang Shu, we can’t delay any longer.”
“Zhang Jean, what you said just a moment ago was thrown to the back of your mind? Do you still wish to have mercy and try to turn the heavens around? ” Lu Zhi could not care less about killing the eunuchs, as long as Zhang Gong released the emperor, he was prepared to release Zhang Nan, “Zhang Jean, quickly release the emperor, I will spare your life.”
“When the Luoyang was in chaos, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu burned the doors to the palace and killed thousands of officials. “I am the one who is about to die. Sir Shang Shu, can you tell me how many of the thousands of officials have committed crimes. Should they all be killed by Uncle and Nephew Yuan?”
Actually, Zhang Rong did not want to discuss who was guilty and innocent with Lu Zhi. He was mainly trying to stall for time. The Yang Lin Cavalry on the north side of the Yellow River would still need some time to cross the Yellow River, he had to do his best to delay Lu Zhi, seeking for a one-in-a-million chance, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Lu Zhi had a long history of officials and was proficient in the human heart. The moment Zhang Yu said those words, he could immediately guess what he was thinking about. But Lu Zhi was a great scholar in the current dynasty, he had always respected the Son of Heaven and advocated the etiquette of monarch and official.
“Zhang Jean, do you think that I don’t dare to kill you?” Seeing Lu Zhi hesitate, Min Gong became impatient. He suddenly unsheathed his sword, stepped forward and shouted at the soldiers behind him, “Soldiers, attack! Protect the Son of Heaven! Kill the adulterous castration! “
