Chapter 54: Rescue the Son of Heaven from the Imperial Palace
After Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang found the place one after another, they immediately ordered their subordinates to find some things that started the fire and began to set fire.
As black smoke rose from three places in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were guarding the palace, immediately led their troops into the palace and rushed towards the place where the black smoke rose.
Besides, after Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang finished arson, they immediately led their troops to retreat.
When Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops to the place where Cheng Pu set the fire, they saw that there was nothing but some wooden planks that had been burned to ashes.
Seeing this, Li Dao suddenly shouted that it was not good.
When Guo Yan heard this, he immediately asked, "General Li, why did you exclaim?" ”
"General Guo, there will never be three clouds of black smoke rising in this palace for no reason, I am sure that there will be a young person who has entered the palace, you and I will quickly close the palace gate and start the investigation, and I will send someone to report to the lord at the same time."
"The ministers of the court and the central government are all in the palace, if this enemy army rescues the puppet emperor and the ministers of the court and the central government under our noses, then we will not be able to eat and walk, so I will lead my troops forward."
After that, Guo Yan took 10,000 horses and began to investigate in the palace.
And after Li Dao sent a messenger, he also took the remaining 10,000 people to investigate.
At the same time, after Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang led their troops back to Sun Jian's side, Sun Jian immediately led his soldiers to rush towards the Beigong Fanglin Garden, where the Son of Heaven lived.
Just after Sun Jian led his troops into Fanglin Garden, the army under the command of Li Dao and Guo Yan also closed all the palace gates that entered and exited the palace, but the palace gates in the palace were not closed, because Li Dao and Guo Yan also had to arrest the young people who entered the palace.
Besides, Sun Jian led his troops to look for a while in Fanglin Garden, and he finally learned the traces of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
Soon, Sun Jian led his troops to the house of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
Immediately after, Sun Jian said loudly to the house: "Minister Changsha Taishou Sun Jian greets Your Majesty!" ”
After Liu Xie, who was in the house, suddenly heard Sun Jian's words, he immediately opened the door of the house.
When Liu Xie saw a large army of people outside the house, he immediately asked, "Sun Aiqing, are you here to rescue me?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has led 3,000 troops into the city from the secret passage, and today I have come to welcome Your Majesty out of the palace."
"Okay, I'll leave the palace with you!"
"Command!"
Immediately after, Sun Jian escorted Liu Xie and began to rush to Shuoping Gate in the north of the North Palace.
When Sun Jianbu came to Shuoping Gate, he saw that the gate of Shuoping Gate was closed, and there were many Xiliang soldiers on Shuoping Gate.
Seeing this situation, Sun Jian immediately said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, our whereabouts have been exposed, I hope Your Majesty will firmly follow the last general, and the last general will lead Your Majesty out of the encirclement." ”
"Sun Aiqing, there are still some private soldiers in the hands of the ministers of the court, you can break through to the South Palace, so that the ministers of the court and the central government can send troops to assist you, and now there are at least tens of thousands of Dong thieves in the Luoyang Palace."
"What, didn't the Dong thief come out of the nest?"
"Sun Aiqing, what do you mean by this?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in addition to the minister's partial division, there are also 100,000 troops of the Eastern Princes outside the city, they are fighting with Dong thieves, and the ministers can smoothly enter the palace from the secret passage."
"What, I haven't received any news, this thief really guards me very strictly! If there is a coalition of Dong troops outside the city, Sun Aiqing should break through to Nangong, and with the help of the private soldiers of the ministers of the DPRK and China, I can get out of the clutches. ”
Seeing Liu Xie say this, Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and agreed, because although he wanted to lead his troops back the same way, the strength of the Xiliang army was several times that of him, and it was difficult for him to kill it back.
Immediately, Sun Jian immediately began to evacuate to Nangong according to Liu Xie's wishes.
Besides, when the Xiliang soldiers on the Shuoping Gate saw that there were thousands of enemy troops in the palace, these Xiliang soldiers immediately sent the news to the nearby Li Wei.
When Li Wei learned that there were thousands of enemy troops in the palace, he sighed in surprise and then led his troops to pursue Sun Jian.
At the same time, Li Dao sent two messengers again.
One of the messengers informed Guo Yan to lead his troops to intercept it, and the other messenger went outside the city to report to Dong Zhuo about the changes in the city.
After Guo Yan received the news from Li Dao, he immediately led his troops to the Xuanwu Gate of Nangong to wait for him.
When Sun Jian escorted Liu Xie to the compound road connecting the North Palace and the South Palace, he saw a large number of Xiliang troops waiting for him at the end of the compound road.
Seeing this formation, Sun Jian knew that a bloody battle was inevitable.
Immediately, Sun Jian immediately ordered: "Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang listen to the order, I order the three of you to lead two hundred people each to assault and open a road for me." ”
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang immediately led their troops through the compound road and charged towards the Xiliang army at the end.
When the Xiliang sergeants saw the enemy charge, everyone immediately swung their swords to meet them.
Soon, the Xiliang army and the soldiers under Sun Jian fought fiercely in the Fudao.
After a while, seeing that the Xiliang army was constantly entering the resumption road, at the resumption of the road on the side of the North Palace, Sun Jian immediately said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the enemy army is strong, and the minister cannot stay by your side to protect you for the time being, if you want to open the road to the South Palace, you must go out at the end of the horse." ”
"Sun Aiqing doesn't have to worry about my safety, you just let it go!"
"Obey orders!"
Immediately, Sun Jian also joined the battlefield with an ancient ingot knife.
Because of Sun Jian's joining, the Xiliang army began to retreat gradually, because the narrow place in the compound road was just right for Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife to exert its might.
Sun Jian's subordinates saw that Sun Jian was like a bamboo, and they also followed Sun Jian's advance.
Besides, when Guo Yan at the Nangong side saw that his army had begun to retreat, he immediately sent additional men to intercept it.
Just when Sun Jianbu and Guo Yanbu were in full swing at the Fudao place, in the Sangong Mansion near Nangong, when the ministers of the court and the central government received news that an allied army had entered the city and rescued the Son of Heaven, these ministers immediately tried their best to contact the private soldiers outside the palace and asked them to rush to the palace to support.
At the same time, when Dong Zhuo outside the city received two messages from Li Dao one after another, he immediately shouted: "Yuan Shao'er, you despicable and shameless person. ”
Suddenly seeing Dong Zhuo furious, Li Ru, who was beside him, immediately asked, "Lord, what happened?" ”
"Yuan Shao Xiao'er took advantage of me to go out of the city, and actually sent Sun Wentai to enter the palace from the secret passage, and now Liu Xie has been rescued by Sun Jian, and Li Dao and Guo Yan are fighting in the palace."
"Lord, how many of Sun Jian's soldiers and horses are there in the Luoyang Palace?"
"This is not clear, I can only go back to the division to solve Sun Jian first, and then say, the Son of Heaven must not fall into the hands of the allies, otherwise I will have no bargaining chips, so I will let these Kwantung princes stumble for a few more days."
Immediately following, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
Besides, the allies who had fallen into the disadvantage saw that the Xiliang army had suddenly withdrawn its troops, and everyone was very puzzled.
But Cao Cao quickly reacted, and then said to Yuan Shaojin: "Alliance leader, Dong Zhuo's retreat must be the success of General Sun Wentai, and we should march at this time to cover up and kill the Xiliang army." ”
As soon as Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately conveyed the order to march to the princes.
Although the princes had not been able to recover their breath, when they thought that they could get a great merit by destroying Dong Zhuo, everyone cheered up and led their troops to chase Dong Zhuo.
