Chapter 126: Escape
He Jin's face was ugly, and he watched Liu Zheng and the others walk out of the palace.
Seeing that Liu Zheng and these people had already fled from the palace, the strategists around He Jin immediately came up and immediately asked He Jin.
"My lord, those thieves are about to flee from here, and if they don't do anything, it will be too late."
Two people wearing military armor stood beside He Jin.
These two people are named Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang.
In history, after He Jin was suddenly killed by the Ten Standing Attendants, it was these two people who contacted Yuan Shao and others to behead He Jin and kill He Miao and others.
It can be seen that they still have loyalty to He Jin.
Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang gathered around He Jin, wanting to obey He Jin's orders, but He Jin hadn't made up his mind at this time, after all, Liu Zheng was holding his nephew Liu Wei in his hand.
If you ignore Liu Bian's comfort and launch an attack on Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban Army, in case Liu Biao is injured, Emperor Ling of Han and the crown prince Liu Biao will both die in this palace incident.
Then the candidate for the throne is not good.
Although He Jin can choose Liu Xie, the second son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, as the emperor, Liu Xie is not his nephew He Jin after all.
He Jin didn't think of the point where he usurped the throne, but if he had his nephew but the emperor, wouldn't the throne of the Han family be the same as his He family.
Therefore, compared with the life of Emperor Ling of Han, He Jin cared more about the life of the little prince Liu Wei.
"My nephew is in the hands of these thieves, what can I do if I hurt my nephew?"
He Jin was unwilling, and he didn't want his nephew to be injured, but he couldn't just let these Yellow Turban thieves leave from here.
"Lord, then shall we just let these thieves leave?"
"It's okay to let these guys leave for the time being, anyway, the battle in Tiger Prison Pass should also come to an end, and as soon as the battle on Luoyang's side stops, we will slowly send someone to negotiate with him, what these thieves are asking for is just a way to live, and it is important to hold my nephew's life."
In the end, He Jin still didn't choose to risk Liu Xie's life at this time.
gritted his teeth, and glanced at Liu Zheng viciously after the meeting, but he still didn't let people rush to kill.
After Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang heard He Jin's words, they didn't say much, after all, they didn't have the power to influence He Jin's thoughts, and they only had the qualifications to act as ordered.
"Yes, my lord, I will immediately have them stand back and follow these thieves, lest they flee too quickly."
"I'll do it anyway."
He Jin was worried about Liu Zheng's life, and was afraid that Liu Zheng would really be unfavorable to Liu Zheng, so after Liu Zheng and them left the palace gate, he immediately chased after them and shouted at Liu Zheng and them.
"Thief, it's okay for me to let you go, but you must not hurt my nephew's life!"
Liu Zheng turned his head and glanced at He Jin, and after hearing He Jin's words, Liu Zheng's mind was terrified, and at this time, he relaxed a little.
"As long as the general lets me go, the previous grievances will be written off."
"You let my nephew go, and I'll keep you safe from Luoyang City, how about it?"
"Hehe, General, do you think I will still be deceived by you? Do you still have the right to bargain with me now? If you know each other, let me go now, and when I am out of the tiger prison or leave, I will naturally let Liu Wei go! ”
"Let you leave the Tiger Prison?"
He Jin originally thought that if he let Liu Zheng and the others leave Luoyang City, Liu Zheng would get acquainted with the little prince Liu Bian, but Liu Zheng's next words made He Jin have to reconsider.
However, He Jin didn't have anything to think about, at this time, Liu Zheng and the others had already quickly rushed towards the East City Gate with Liu Wei in their hands.
Although He Jin and the others were still chasing behind, it was difficult to order to rush over directly, so they could only agree to Liu Zheng's request.
He Jin quickly asked people to go to the East City Gate, and let the defenders of the East City Gate open the city gate and let Liu Zheng and the others out of the city.
Liu Zheng and the others spent half an hour from the gate of the imperial palace to the east gate of Luoyang, where they had discussed with Xu Huang and others before to attack the city.
At this time, the battle outside the East City Gate was still loud, and the shouts of killing could still be vaguely heard even if Liu Zheng and others were standing in the city.
Although the voice was not loud, it proved that the Yellow Turban Army outside the city had not been completely wiped out by the official army, and the stone that Liu Zheng had been mentioning in his heart could be regarded as falling to the ground.
As long as Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others have not had an accident, then Liu Zheng's side, although some of them are not going well, it is not worth the trip.
"Open the gates!"
Wu Kuang took the lead in opening under the east city gate, and immediately ordered the generals in the city to open the city gate.
The defender of the city had already died, and the person who commanded the entire east city gate at this time was Yuan Shao, the commander of the Yulin Army.
When Yuan Shao came to the east city with his own men, it happened that the city gate guards would be shot by Huang Zhong, so Yuan Shao took over the defense and siege of the city gate, and the fight with the yellow turban thieves outside the city was fierce at this time, and when he heard that someone in the city asked to open the city gate, Yuan Shao frowned.
"Who are you, do you know that opening the city gate now is to let the thieves outside the city enter the city, and you can bear this charge?"
"I have the general's order, open the city gate quickly, otherwise you can't afford to delay the general's big business."
Wu Kuang and Yuan Shao were not familiar with each other, and the distance between the two was relatively far, so they didn't recognize Yuan Shao at all.
And Yuan Shao originally had a lot of doubts, but when he heard that it was the general's matter, he immediately sent someone down to inquire, but after he really saw the general himself, Yuan Shao was shocked.
Originally, Yuan Shao wanted to ask what was going on, but at this time He Jin was already impatient, Yuan Shao saw He Jin's impatience, so he stopped talking and directly let the people on his side open the city gate.
The gates opened.
Surprise appeared on the faces of Liu Zheng, Zhou Cang and others.
Before Liu Zheng and the others could leave the city in advance, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city had already entered Luoyang City.
Xu Huang led people directly in, and as soon as he came in, he saw Liu Zheng, Zhou Cang and others, and he was immediately surprised.
However, Liu Zheng did not let Xu Huang and the others continue to enter the city, but immediately said a word to Xu Huang, and after Xu Huang was broken, his group of people retreated directly from Luoyang City.
Although Xu Huang didn't know what was going on, he would not be disobedient to Liu Zheng's order, so he took people with him and ran out of Luoyang City.
Yuan Shao watched these yellow turban thieves leave Luoyang City, and then looked at the general He Jin, and stopped talking.
He Jin squinted, stared at Liu Zheng, glanced left and right, and gave Wu Kuang a look, Wu Kuang understood what He Jin meant, and immediately led someone to follow.
