Li Ru said excitedly: "Lord, something really happened in Luoyang, our chance has come!" ”

Dong Zhuo also stood up immediately and ordered: "Quick, gather men and horses, and march to Luoyang!" ”

"What about that kind of slash?"

"Don't worry about him, if he wants to wait, let him wait here, we can't kill him, can't we take a detour, a rotten Confucian, he can still run past the horse."

The army set off immediately, and he hadn't eaten for a day, and he had trouble even standing up, so he didn't have to step forward to stop him, so he could only watch Dong Zhuo go to Luoyang.

When Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, he found that the city gate was closed, and there was no pedestrian outside the city. And the smoke in the city is billowing down, and the time for the accident to happen is not short.

Wu Kuang, the defender of the city, saw the men and horses who arrived outside the city, and his heart was also panicked, now there is a coup d'état in the city, half of the soldiers and horses in his hands have been taken away by Yuan Shu, and now the troops are insufficient, if the soldiers and horses in front of him attack the city, he may not be able to stop it.

"Who is outside the city, and why are you leading the troops here?" Wu Kuang said. Anyway, let's ask about the identity of the person who came.

"I am Dong Zhuo, the pastor of the state, who led the troops to kill the eunuchs, let me enter the city to quell the rebellion!" Dong Zhuo replied loudly.

It turned out to be Dong Zhuo, as long as it wasn't the eunuch's henchmen, Wu Kuang breathed a sigh of relief. However, even if it is not the eunuch's reinforcements, Dong Zhuo cannot be allowed to enter. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both instructed him not to open the city gate, no matter who came.

Of course, he knew in his heart that this was the credit that the Yuan clan wanted to monopolize the killing of the eunuchs, and did not want others to participate.

"General Dong, please go back, the city is just a small group of eunuchs who have committed rebellion, and if there is a forbidden army in the city, it can be quelled, so you won't bother the general."

It's all here, how can you leave because of the words of the guard? Dong Zhuo shouted loudly: "I see that there is smoke in the city, something must have happened, I am afraid that the forbidden army alone will not be able to calm down, in case the rebels hurt Your Majesty, even if it only frightens Your Majesty, it is a great sin, don't let me in quickly!" ”

"If you don't say it, you don't need it, General Dong should please go back!"

"If you don't open it, then Hugh will blame me for forcibly entering the city!" Dong Zhuo threatened

"General Dong, you have to think clearly, once you move the army, no matter what your reason is, it is a rebellion, and it is a great crime to punish the nine clans!" Wu Kuang also replied forcefully.

Although he was also playing the drum in his heart, he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would come hard, but he wanted to bet on it, betting that Dong Zhuo would not dare to attack the city.

Dong Zhuo was angry, he didn't expect this guard to be soft and hard, and he dared to threaten him in turn. "The whole army obeys the order!"

"My lord, no." Li Ru hurriedly dissuaded, "If you really use the army, even if the lord has merit afterwards, it will be condemned as rebellion, and it will do more harm than benefit." ”

Dong Zhuo still had basic sanity, and just wanted to scare the guards just now, but when he saw Li Ru coming to persuade him, he calmed down his anger. "The guards of the city, do you dare to report your name?"

Seeing this, Wu Kuang knew that Dong Zhuo was planning to give up, so he said without scruples: "My name is Wu Kuang!" ”

He thought to himself: What can I do if I tell you, can you still take revenge on me.

"Very good, Wu Kuang, I remember you, today's humiliation, he will definitely return it one day!" After Dong Zhuo put down his cruel words, he led the army to leave.

It's just that he didn't go far, but patrolled the other three walls, trying his luck and seeing if he could take advantage of the loopholes.

The result was naturally disappointing to him, with walls on all sides and gates closed, and there was no flaw at all.

Just as he was about to give up, one of the soldiers saw a man running away on the plain and immediately shouted, "Look, general, there is a man!" ”

Dong Zhuo looked at it and found that there was indeed a figure over there. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: now there is no one else within a radius of ten miles, this person appeared so suddenly, it seems that he is constantly running for his life, maybe he knows something.

"Go get him back for me."

"No."

Two soldiers galloped towards the man on horseback and quickly captured him. The man was thrown from the soldier's horse, and immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" ”

Dong Zhuo saw that although this person was wearing Confucian clothes and dressed like a scholar, it was not difficult to tell that he was a eunuch from the shrill voice he made as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You are a eunuch in the palace?" Dong Zhuo asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, the villain is indeed the little yellow door in the palace." The little eunuch admitted it directly and quickly.

Mainly because his life is in the hands of the vicious-looking general in front of him, if he hesitates at all, he is afraid that he will die directly.

Dong Zhuo nodded, it seems that this little eunuch knows more than the guard general Wu Kuang just now. "Why are you here, and why are you dressed like that?"

"General Qiyu, the villain is also a last resort. The Yuan brothers led their troops into the palace and slaughtered the eunuchs, so they dressed up like this and escaped. ”

"You're lying!" Dong Zhuo burst into a shout, so frightened that the little eunuch almost collapsed to the ground. "Now that the gates are closed, how did you escape, it seems that you will not tell the truth if you do not use some means against you. Someone, cut off both of his legs for me! ”

"General, what the villain said is true, the villain really escaped from the palace!" The little eunuch burst into tears and kept kowtowing.

"There is a double road in the palace that leads directly to the outside of the city, and the villain escaped along the double road. Not only me, but also Zhang Changshou and Zhao Changshou all escaped from Fudao. ”

"What!" When Dong Zhuo heard the news, he immediately became excited. "You said Zhang let them escape too?"

The little eunuch saw the hope of living again, and kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, Zhang... Zhang let them all escape, and I just escaped after them. ”

"Then do you know where Zhang let them run?"

"They ran north."

As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, a soldier came back and reported: "General, we have found a few car marks, which are heading north. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, what the little eunuch said was right, Zhang Rang really went north. "Hahaha, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you didn't expect it, even if you blocked the entire Luoyang, but this great merit was still taken by me!"

Even if all the eunuchs in this palace are killed, it is still a little insignificant compared to the heads of the ten permanent servants. The others are all accomplices, and the Ten Standing Servants are the leaders of evil. As long as you kill them, you will definitely be able to win the praise of the world's corporals.

"General, I've said it all, you just treat the villain as a fart, let it go." The little eunuch saw that Dong Zhuo was so happy, so he took the opportunity to curry favor.

Dong Zhuo looked at him with a smile on his face: "Very good, you said Zhang Rang's whereabouts and made a great contribution, then it can be regarded as a merit and demerit." Originally, I wanted to torture you, but now forget it, come on, give him a good time. ”

"General, the villain has merit, how can you kill the villain...... Yes! "He was killed before he could finish speaking.

Dong Zhuocai didn't care about the wails of a little eunuch before he died, not only him, but in the eyes of all scholars, being a eunuch was a capital crime.

The whole army immediately followed the traces, and saw dozens of corpses of eunuchs on the road. Obviously, although Dong Zhuo is fast, there are people who are faster than him.

Dong Zhuo was anxious, and quickly chased after him.

……

When Lu Zhi learned that Zhang Rang had killed the general He Jin, and that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu led troops to attack the palace, he thought that Zhang Rang and the others would not sit idly by.

There were only two results, either Zhang Rang and other eunuchs successfully blocked the attack of the Yuan brothers, and the operation to eliminate the eunuchs failed again, and the third disaster of the party broke out in the imperial court; Either the Yuan brothers successfully stormed the palace, and Zhang Rang and others fled.

In the past few decades, those party members have not wanted to get rid of the eunuchs all the time, and Zhang Rang and others who are the targets will not know about it, so they will definitely leave a way out for themselves.

It was obvious that he couldn't help from the palace, so Lu Zhi directly took his soldiers and came to the city to ambush outside the city while the city gate was not closed. He just assumed that Zhang Rang and the others would escape from the palace if they were defeated, so he waited in advance.

As expected, three carriages, followed by dozens of people, escaped from the city, and one person fell to the ground and fainted because he was too flustered.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi directly chased and killed.

When the eunuchs saw the people and horses that were suddenly killed, they were naturally frightened and confused. So they were quickly caught up by Lu Zhi, and the eunuchs who ran slowly were killed one after another, only the eunuch who fainted to death was ignored and survived temporarily.

Zhang Rang and the others were also shocked, they didn't expect that there were still people lying in ambush outside the city, waiting for them to escape. The eunuchs who fled on foot behind them were killed, and they could only drive the carriage and flee for their lives at a faster speed.

The two sides chased me and fled, crossed the Beimang Mountain, and finally stopped by the big river (Yellow River).

Zhang Rang hugged Liu Wei and Liu Xie on the left and right, got out of the carriage and walked to the river, and shouted loudly to Lu Zhi who arrived: "Lu Zigan, you can see who this is!" ”

Lu Zhi looked at the two children in Zhang Rang's hands, and was suddenly shocked, and said in a lost voice: "Your Majesty! ”

He immediately dismounted and bowed, "Your Majesty." Then he scolded: "Zhang Rang, you rebellious, you dare to kidnap Your Majesty, you deserve death!" ”

Zhang Rang laughed loudly: "You rebellious ministers and thieves, attacking the imperial city, actually have the face to say that I am a rebel. I am only here to protect Your Majesty from you thieves! ”

"Full of nonsense, if you hadn't killed the general, and you had to kill all the subordinates under the general, how could you have ended up here. I advise you to release Your Majesty quickly, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhi killed all the other remaining eunuchs and approached Zhang Rang's side.

"Don't come here!" Zhang Rang shouted loudly, "Now that Your Majesty is here, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will have three longs and two shorts?" ”

Seeing this, Lu Zhi had no choice but to stop, he was afraid that Zhang Rang would make some drastic moves. "Zhang Rang, do you want to kill the king?"

"I don't want to, you forced me to do this!" Zhang Rang said in despair, "It's the same as being a traitor, bullying people, and preying on the people, why are you hypocrites okay, but we can't."

For decades, we have been criticizing and shouting, shouting and killing, just because we robbed you of what you fancied, just because we are eunuchs, so we should die? It is not our fault that we have made the world like this, but you people who do not care about the lives of the people. ”

Lu Zhi also knew in his heart what the problem of the world becoming bigger now, otherwise he would not be optimistic about Zhang Hao's measures in Liaodong, even if Zhang Hao was close to the eunuchs, he had always helped him.

"Now, you don't have to quibble. If you don't want to be charged with murdering the king again, let your majesty go and surrender, and I will escort you back and give you a fair trial. ”

"Lu Shangshu is of noble character, I naturally believe it. But you can't resist after all, the mouth of the hypocrites of the world. Besides, if I send Your Majesty back, the dignified Son of Heaven will become a puppet in the hands of hypocrites. Rather than this, it is better to die here! ”

Zhang Rang put down Liu Xie, hugged Liu Wei and was about to throw himself into the river. Seeing this, Lu Zhi shouted: "Stop! ”
