Wu Kuang actually obeyed Liu Zhang's order and killed He Miao from behind. This shocked not only the Imperial Forest Army, but also the Xiyuan Army.
The generals around Liu Zhang, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and counselor Xun You all had incredible expressions on their faces.
"General Wu, please get up."
Liu Zhang got off his horse and helped Wu Kuang, who was kneeling on the ground.
"General Xie Wei!"
Wu Kuang was very polite and stood aside waiting for Liu Zhang's order.
"My lord, when did you convince General Wu? I'm really impressed!"
Xun You also got off his horse and walked to Wu Kuang with his hands raised in salute.
Wu Kuang is very familiar to Xun You. It is not an exaggeration to call him a veteran on the battlefield. He has always served in the army.
"Haha, General Wu and I did not collude, but I know that General Wu is loyal and will not sit back and let He Miao cause chaos. I am only here to help General Wu!"
Wu Kuang looked at Liu Zhang with admiration and praised him.
"General Wei is truly worthy of being our number one general in the Han Dynasty. His vision is so far-reaching! Unlike that He Miao, Luoyang City and the Imperial Palace are in such chaos? He still wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, approving Wu Kuang again!
Liu Zhang had never been in contact with Wu Kuang before, but Liu Zhang knew that Wu Kuang was a man, and he must not be used to He Miao taking advantage of the chaos, and historically it was Wu Kuang who personally killed He Miao!
In addition, Wu Kuang's nephew Wu Yi has followed Liu Yan into Shu, which means that the Wu family and the Liu family have been tied to the same warship!
General He Jin was killed by Liu Zhang's subterfuge. What future could he have following He Miao, who was even stupider than He Jin? Wu Kuang naturally knew what choice to make.
"General Wu, what are your plans next?"
Liu Zhang was testing Wu Kuang with his words. Wu Kuang naturally knew this and directly expressed his position.
"Now General Wei has the highest position in Luoyang City and is the most trusted by His Majesty. Wu Kuang naturally follows General Wei's lead!"
What Liu Zhang was waiting for was Wu Kuang's words. The 20,000 Yulin Army was Liu Zhang's inevitable goal. He wanted to expand his military strength as much as possible.
"Okay! General Wu really understands the righteousness! After Luoyang is settled, I will definitely ask the new emperor for merit for General Wu!"
"Thank you, General Wei!"
Liu Zhang helped Wu Kuang up, and then looked at the imperial guards behind him.
"General Wu, can you command these Imperial Guards?"
Wu Kuang answered Liu Zhang with certainty without even thinking about it.
"Don't worry, General Wei, the brothers in the Royal Forest Army will definitely obey General Wei's orders!"
He Miao usually didn't go to the military camp at all. Wu Kuang usually got along with them in the military camp. Wu Kuang had a high prestige among the imperial guards! Otherwise, he would not dare to kill He Miao openly.
"Okay! The two princes were kidnapped by Zhang Rang and have been taken out of Luoyang by Zhang Rang. You can lead the Royal Forest Army and accompany me to escort them. We will wait until the new king takes the throne to discuss everything!"
"promise!"
Wu Kuang naturally had no objections. Now he has clearly understood his position and followed Liu Zhang's big tree with firm belief!
In the north of Luoyang, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were still fleeing with Liu Bian and Liu Xie, and they were about to reach the edge of the Yellow River!
"Master Zhang, where are you taking us?"
Liu Bian was so frightened that he just ran away, but Liu Xie kept asking Zhang Rang.
"Your Highness, there are rebels behind you. I will take the two Highnesses to a safe place!"
"Where are the rebels? Where is the safe place?"
Liu Xie was still unwilling to give up and kept questioning Zhang Rang.
"Your Highness, please stop asking questions now. When the rebels behind us catch up with us, it will all be over!"
Zhang Rang had already determined that Liu Xie would succeed him, so he naturally did not dare to anger Liu Xie.
The current situation is too critical! He originally planned to defect to Liu Zhang, but the pursuing troops behind him didn't give up this opportunity at all, so he could only escape in one direction.
"Ouch!"
A scream sounded from behind. Zhao Zhong fell to the ground, and Liu Bian also fell to the ground.
Liu Xie broke free from Zhang Rang's hand and hurried to Liu Bian's side to help his brother.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
This hit Liu Bian was hard, and the pain made him cry!
"No, I can't run anymore!"
Zhao Zhong has also reached his limit. How many years have they never run like this!
Zhang Rang also took advantage of this opportunity and quickly sat on the ground to take a few breaths.
"No, if Yuan Shao and others catch up with us, how can we survive? We must find General Wei as soon as possible!"
Zhang Rang was about to get up, but his legs felt weak and he couldn't stand up at all.
"It's broken, I can't walk anymore!"
Zhang Rang and the two struggled to escape while holding back their breath. Under the pressure of the tension and crisis, the two of them did not notice the physical exertion at all. Now Zhao Zhong fell to the ground, and Zhang Rang also sat on the ground to rest, feeling exhausted quickly!
"It's over! It's over! We are doomed!"
Zhang Rang was also heartbroken, he never expected to end up like this!
At this moment, many footsteps were heard not far away, and it didn't take long for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others to catch up with their soldiers.
When Zhao Zhong saw Yuan Shao, he was immediately frightened and yelled at Zhang Rang.
"Quick! Take them both as hostages!"
"No! How can we do this!"
Zhang Rang disagreed. He also fantasized about becoming an auxiliary minister!
"Your life is almost gone, why do you want to do so much!"
Zhao Zhong couldn't control that much anymore. He pulled the crying Liu Bian away and put his sword directly on Liu Bian's neck.
Liu Bian, who was already in pain, became even more frightened and cried louder. Zhao Zhong was so upset that he couldn't help but beat Liu Bian hard several times!
"Stop! How dare you beat His Majesty!"
Yuan Shao rushed over with his long sword, and instantly surrounded Zhang, Rang, and Zhao Zhong.
"Ah! What are you going to do!"
Zhang Rang didn't care so much anymore and directly used Liu Xie as a shield.
"As the late emperor's close servants, how could you two harm the late emperor's child?"
Cao Cao held back the furious Yuan Shao, fearing that Zhang and Rang would harm the two princes.
Zhao Zhong glared at Yuan Shao and the others and roared at the top of his lungs.
"It's not all because of you! You are so cruel, you won't even give us a way to survive!"
"Shut up, you treacherous villain. If it weren't for the chaos caused by you, the Han Dynasty, how would we be where we are today!"
Yuan Shao wished he could immediately pick up his sword and cut Zhao Zhong into pieces, but Liu Bian did not dare to move because Zhao Zhong had Liu Bian in his hands.
In the eyes of people like Yuan Shao, Liu Bian is Liu Hong's eldest son, and he must inherit the throne!
"Benchu, don't get excited, we can't let Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong accidentally hurt the emperor!"
Cao Cao whispered persuasion in Yuan Shao's ear, and then looked at Zhang and Rang.
"Both of you were the most trusted people of the late emperor in the past. If you accidentally hurt the prince today, wouldn't it be a chill for the late emperor? Can you let the two princes go first, and we can discuss it later if we have anything to say?"
"You're dreaming!"
Zhao Zhong did not hesitate and rejected Cao Cao's offer.
"If you want us to release the prince, it's easy, just find General Wei Liu Zhang! We only trust him!"
Zhang Rang didn't want to continue the confrontation and quickly put forward his conditions. Zhao Zhong on the side also nodded repeatedly.
Now they don't want to trust anyone except Liu Zhang!
