Chapter 655: Little Yellow Gate Travels Thousands of Miles Alone
That night, Xiao Huangmen Yu Cong quietly left with Liu Xie's edict.
Liu Xie needed it very much now, and another force stepped in, so that he could find a balance in it.
Compared with the other princes, he believed that LĂź Bu and Zhao Hui were the best to control.
Running away all the way, no one cares about Liu Xie, as long as he doesn't die.
For more than a month, the eunuchs and palace maids around Liu Xie have been decreasing every day.
Now that the last one is gone, Dong Chengduan and the others are not surprised.
Either he ran away or died.
They didn't expect that Yu Cong was sent by Liu Xie to let Lu Bu come to escort him.
Crossing the Yellow River, Li Dao and Guo Yan entered Hongnong and confronted the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses in Dong Cheng's hands.
At this time, Yu Cong did not rush to Xuzhou. Li Dao wanted to deal with Liu Xie, and Liu Xie couldn't wait for Lu Bu's reinforcements at all.
Liu Xie was ready to bow his head to Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji again.
Although he was aggrieved in his heart, at this time, he still appeased Li Dao and the three of them first.
In order to appease the three, Liu Xie promised again that after returning to Luoyang, he would give the three of them the title of marquis.
After reconciling with the three of them, Liu Xie's team advanced to Luoyang again.
It's just that the hatred for the three of them in his heart is stronger.
He was a dignified son of heaven, and he even had to whisper peace to his courtiers.
In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, which son of heaven has his grievances?
There is nature, but Liu Xie is now full of hatred in his heart, and he only feels that he is the son of heaven in the worst situation.
It's just that although it is advancing, the speed of the army is very slow. It's only more than ten miles a day.
They already had little food, and after a previous war, they wasted a lot of grain and grass.
Even Liu Xie, the son of heaven, can't eat enough every day now, let alone the soldiers below.
Except for a few hours a day, most of the soldiers' time was spent looking for something to eat.
Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had enough to eat, the princes and ministers couldn't eat enough, and the ordinary soldiers below could only go hungry.
However, Li Dao and Guo Yan, generals who hold military power, can eat enough every day.
Li Dao and Guo Yan are all Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, and they have no respect for Liu Xie, the son of heaven, in their hearts.
Even though Liu Xie has grown up now, in their hearts, he is still a dough cake for them to knead.
I didn't see Liu Xie two days ago, he just bowed his head to them.
The Son of Heaven, in their eyes now, is just an ornament, as long as he doesn't die.
They love it.
It's like the whole empire, it's in their hands.
In the eyes of tens of millions of people, the noble Son of Heaven is just a chess piece in their hands.
Li Dao and Guo Yan were not in a hurry to return to Luoyang.
Marching ten miles a day, they don't feel slow.
Although Liu Xie was anxious, he didn't dare to urge.
He has no soldiers in his hands now, although he is the Son of Heaven, but if Li Dao Guo Yan wants to kill him, no one can stop him.
Ten miles a day, walk for one day, rest for two days.
is the current state of Liu Xie, the division of the Son of Heaven.
It is only more than 600 miles away from Luoyang, but in a month's time, it has only walked less than 100 miles.
Liu Xie wants to return to Luoyang, to say the least, he will have to walk for five months.
Five months is enough time for Zhao Hui to rush over from Youzhou.
After learning that Liu Xie was going to return east, Zhao Hui kept an eye on Liu Xie's team.
For the speed of Liu Xie's return to the east, it was still unexpected by Zhao Hui.
But since Tai Shici had already been sent out, Zhao Hui himself had no plans to go to Luoyang.
Even if the time is still urgent.
Moreover, Zhang Xue has a child in her belly, and she will be born in January, and Zhao Hui will not leave at this time.
Since Yu Cong was dispatched, Liu Xie has not heard from Yu Cong.
He didn't know if Yu Cong could believe it, if Yu Cong left and went to report to someone.
If not, will Yu Cong be able to reach Xuzhou, and will he be killed halfway?
Even if he arrives in Xuzhou, can Yu Cong invite Lu Bu as he wishes?
There are so many uncertainties, Liu Xie, the son of heaven is not sure in his heart, he can only pin everything on Yu Cong, hoping that Yu Cong is truly loyal to him and has the ability to invite Lu Bu.
Although Yu Cong is just a small yellow door, he has great ambitions in his heart, and he aims at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
After he left Liu Xie that night, he took Liu Xie's handwritten message, disguised himself as a homeless person, went all the way to the east, and stayed overnight, not daring to delay for a moment on the road.
Every day, when the sky is bright, I take a step forward, and at night, even if the moon hangs in the starry sky, Yu Cong is also touching the trunk of the tree to move forward.
Till he was tired, and then he went to the side of the road, and two hours passed, and at daybreak he began to move forward again.
Every day, I drink cold water and eat dry food.
Every day when he went to bed, he was tired.
But when he wakes up every day, he is full of energy.
He has such ambitions, and some physical exhaustion naturally can't stump him.
If he can't even get over this difficulty, he just finds a village and lives a peaceful life alone, without thinking about Da Changqiu or Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong.
Although Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong relied on Emperor Ling to be able to be unpopular in the court, their own abilities were also first-class.
It won't be worse than those ministers.
The hardships they have endured will definitely not be less than what Yu Cong is now. And only more.
Every eunuch wants to get ahead, and the hardships he endures are unimaginable to outsiders.
Most people only see the scenery after his success, and are jealous that they have been favored by the Son of Heaven.
But no one understands how much they have suffered and endured for it.
There are thousands of eunuchs in the harem, connecting the ministers in the court, as well as the concubines.
Those who can come out are the best, and it is impossible to get the favor of the Son of Heaven with just a few sycophants.
There's nothing they can do, their heads will move right away.
Yu Cong didn't have a war horse, and he wouldn't ride it.
But even if there was a war horse, he didn't dare to ride it.
Compared with the great eunuchs like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, he is still much worse now.
Originally, he was just a child from a civilian family, and after three years in the palace, he was also very low-key, just quietly looking for opportunities to read and write, but he didn't dare to practice martial arts.
Now that a person is outside, any thief can easily take his life.
If he had ridden a horse, he would have died on the first day.
Relying on two legs, Yu Cong walked 1,500 miles in a month.
On average, he walked more than 50 miles a day.
For a trained soldier, fifty miles a day is nothing.
But even those soldiers walked twelve hours a day, nine of them for a month, and not many soldiers could afford to eat.
In a month's time, Yu Cong has already reached the territory of Yanzhou, but if he wants to go to Xuzhou and reach Xiaopei, where Lu Bu is located, he will have to walk for at least half a month.
His body was already a little overwhelmed, but Yu Cong didn't give up.
He is only one person, Liu Xie has no way of knowing his news, and he also doesn't know the situation on Liu Xie's side.
