"Mr. Rang, the matter has come to this, what should we do?" Zhao Zhong and others looked at Zhang Rang with panic in their eyes, as if they were drowning and grasping a straw.
Hearing the approaching cries of killing in the imperial city and the frenzied killings of the Northern Army soldiers, the cruel look in Zhang Rang's eyes continued to deepen.
"Jian Shuo, you immediately lead the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army to stop these rebels. The rest of the people, follow me to find His Majesty and King Chenliu!" Zhang Rang said coldly with a cruel smile on his face.
…
"Jianyang, have you seen His Majesty?" Huangfu Song asked as he hurried away.
"Jianyang, Yizhen, something bad happened. Zhang Rang's eunuch kidnapped His Majesty and King Chenliu and escaped!" Before Ding Yuan had time to answer Huangfu Song's question, a loud voice suddenly sounded from another direction.
Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song turned around and saw Lu Zhi striding towards them, accompanied by the panic-stricken Queen Mother He.
It turned out that just now Lu Zhi was searching for traces of the young emperor Liu Bian in the palace and saw Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others walking in a hurry, and a noble lady in a queen's robe was among them.
In an instant, Lu Zhi had already figured out the cause and effect. He was angry at the boldness of these eunuchs. He immediately picked up a sword and rushed forward to kill them. Fortunately, he saved the Queen Mother He. Although several ten regular servants were killed, Zhang Rang was not left alive in the end, and even Liu Bian and Liu Xie were not saved.
Although Lu Zhi was worried about Liu Bian and Liu Xie, he did not dare to leave Queen Mother He alone in the chaos of war. Therefore, Dang even led Queen Mother He to find Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan, and wanted them to send troops to help him rescue the Young Emperor and King Chen Liu.
When Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan heard the news, they were immediately shocked and hurriedly led their troops to pursue him. They really didn't expect that the ten permanent servants would have the courage to kidnap the emperor.
In this era, especially under the influence of Dong Zhongshu's thoughts, the majesty of the emperor was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Ordinary people, let alone robbing the emperor, would not necessarily dare to do so even if they looked directly at the emperor.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo was working hard and led tens of thousands of troops directly to Luoyang. Behind it, more troops are still following up.
…
Mang Mountain, ever since Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others took the young Emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu King Liu Xie out of the palace and ran all the way here, it was dead of night and everyone was exhausted and rested by the river.
Suddenly, there was a dazzling fire behind him, and the sound of killing was heard. In a moment, this team of men and horses rushed close to them. Zhang Rang and others were exhausted, so how could they have the strength to fight again.
A loud shout was heard, "Mingong is here, the eunuchs won't be able to capture him without mercy!"
In desperation, Zhang Rang and several others were forced to jump into the river. Some of them were swallowed by the river and died.
Until now, the power of the Shichangshi, which has been in power for many years, has finally died!
After killing these eunuchs one by one, Mingong immediately ordered his men to start searching for the whereabouts of the young emperor Liu Bian and the king of Chenliu Liu Xie. Unfortunately, after a long search, Mingong still couldn't find any trace, so he had to leave reluctantly.
…
"His Majesty!"
The shouts came one after another, non-stop. Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Ding Yuan, and Xiyuan Military Academy Lieutenants Chunyu Qiong, Zhao Meng, Bao Xin, and a group of thousands of people came one after another, all looking for Liu Traces of debate.
"Your Majesty is here."
At this moment, Cui Yi led Liu Bian and King Chen Liu out in stride. When the monarch and his ministers met, they naturally cried.
It turned out that when Mingong and Zhang Rang were fighting, Liu Bian and Liu Xie took the opportunity to escape from Shi Changdai's control. They did not dare to easily believe Mingong and others who arrived, so they took advantage of the chaos and hid in the surrounding area. He was in the middle of the grass, not daring to make a sound or move.
Later, due to hunger and cold, Liu Bian and Liu Xie only settled in a nearby village. Coincidentally, the owner of this manor is Cui Yi, the younger brother of former Situ Cui Lie. He lived in seclusion here because he saw that Shi Chang's servants were selling officials and being jealous of talents.
Later, Cui Yi respectfully invited the young emperor and King Chenliu to the village, and ordered people to prepare a feast. He also heard from his subordinates that Lu Zhi, Huangfusong and others were searching nearby, so Cui Yi took Liu Bian and Liu Xie The two walked out.
After actually seeing Liu Bian safe and sound, Lu Zhi, the man's true loyal minister, finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, the situation is pretty good. Although this chaos caused a lot of losses, the group of eunuchs such as Shi Changshi were finally eliminated.
Moreover, the general He Jin also died in this chaos. Not only will there be no need to worry about the rebellion of the eunuchs in the future, but for the time being, there is no need to worry about the rebellion of the relatives.
Lu Zhi believed that with the help of them, the Han Dynasty could take off again.
However, although all these thoughts were very good, the reality soon slapped Lu Zhi hard.
Just when everyone was thinking that the matter was over, a thundering sound of horse hooves suddenly came, and then the flags covered the sun, the dust covered the sky, and a cavalry suddenly arrived. The flying bear flag fluttering in the wind became more and more ferocious at this moment.
Seeing this situation, Cui Yi was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty is here, why don't you dismount your horse and pay tribute?"
Although Dong Zhuo was displeased after hearing this, he still did not dare to be sloppy in etiquette, "Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, comes to see your majesty!"
Hearing Dong Zhuo's wolf-like voice, Liu Bian shivered and couldn't say a word. King Chenliu and Liu Xie were relatively calm and immediately comforted him: "Dong Aiqing is tired from traveling all the way. Thank you Aiqing for your hard work. When you return to Luoyang After that, Your Majesty will definitely reward you dearly."
"To be loyal to His Majesty, I don't dare to talk about hard work, let alone ask for any reward!" Dong Zhuo raised his head and saw the two princes in the carriage making judgments. He looked down on Liu Bian's cowardice in his heart.
Dong Zhuo brought the most elite Flying Bear Army and other more elite troops. Because they arrived so quickly, there were only less than 30,000 troops, and the large troops had not arrived yet.
What happened next caught all the ministers by surprise. Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry arrogantly pushed through the Xiyuan Army officers guarding Luan Jia on both sides, and protected the young emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu King Liu Xie towards Luoyang.
When Lu Bu saw this, with his always unruly character, how could he hold back, and he rushed forward to take action even if he waved his halberd.
Fortunately, Ding Yuan on the side stopped Lu Bu's behavior in time.
There are only thousands of soldiers of the Xiyuan Army and the Northern Army around them, but there are 30,000 cavalry around Dong Zhuohui, and these 30,000 cavalry are iron-blooded soldiers who have gone through many bloody battles and have experienced thousands of battles. If at this time If you take action, you will only be asking for trouble.
