Chapter 186: Siege and Interception
"Your Majesty, now that the imperial court wants a key criminal, Cao Xing is still in Luoyang City, please block the gates around Luoyang, and encircle and chase Cao Xing, even if Luoyang digs three feet into the ground, he must be arrested!"
In the court, Situ Wang Yun said to Emperor Han Xian with a sad face, Emperor Han Xian, who was only nine years old, sat on the throne, looking at the ministers below, although he was already trying his best to keep calm, but his heart was still a little panicked, this cannot be said that Emperor Han Xian is incompetent, but because Emperor Han Xian is too young to deter these old ministers.
Emperor Han Xian sometimes can't help but think of his father, although Emperor Han Ling said that he was absurd and unreasonable, but every time he spoke in the court, he said the same, if anyone below dared to object, Zhang Rang and others would also try their best to help him pay to save face, and his father at least obtained the power that the emperor deserved.
But for Emperor Han Xian, he is afraid that he will not get the same opportunity as his father, he has also tried to oppose the opinions of the ministers below, but whenever Emperor Han Xian opposes, Dong Zhuo, who is sitting next to him, will always let out a muffled snort, with his eyes the size of copper bells, staring at Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian's heart is afraid, but he also dares to be angry and dare not speak, even Dong Zhuo's Taishi, and the privilege of sitting next to him, are all given to him by Dong Zhuo forced Emperor Han Xian.
Now for Situ Wang Yun's suggestion, Dong Zhuo rarely sat aside and did not object, which shows that Dong Zhuo acquiesced, and in the end, Emperor Han Xian could only nod and ordered Luoyang to block the surrounding city gates and pursue Cao Xing with all his might.
Now Cao Xing is a bit like a rat crossing the street, for five days, there are constantly officers and soldiers knocking on the door to search for Cao Xing's whereabouts, Cao Xing and Shi A can only flee in all directions.
However, this time the matter was fully supported by Dong Zhuo, so to a certain extent, Luoyang was united, and Cao Xing had no way to hide, and finally he and Shi A were bumped into by a large group of officers and soldiers.
There are many people on the other side, Cao He and Shi A can only pull their legs and run, and where is that group of officers and soldiers very spared, Cao and Shi A chased after each other, the two ran for half an hour, only to see the officers and soldiers behind chasing more and more, more and more people found their traces, Cao He and Shi A ran into an alley in a panic, but when they ran to the end, Cao Xing and Shi A were dumbfounded, this was a dead end.
And this dead end seems to announce that Cao He and Shi A will die here today, because Cao Xing looked up at the wall of the alley, which was more than three meters high, close to four meters away.
If this height is not with the help of tools, how can ordinary people leap up, of course, in this era, top masters like Wang Yue and Lu Bu may be able to do it, but neither Cao Xing nor Shi A can do it.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers behind him had blocked the road, Shi Ah was in a hurry, so he could only squat down immediately and said to Cao Xing: "Lord, step on my shoulder, I stand up, and then you jump over!" ”
However, Cao Xuan looked at the officers and soldiers in the rear, and now they were only thirty meters away from them, regardless of whether Cao Xuan cooperated with Shi A, whether he could climb over the past, even if Cao Xuan really climbed up, what should Shi A do, so Cao Xuan shook his head resolutely.
Cao Xing Huo Ran pulled out the sword at his waist and looked at the officers and soldiers behind him with burning eyes: "It's a big deal to die here today, I, Cao Xing, will never steal my life!" ”
"My lord! No, you still have a chance to live, didn't you once tell me that as long as you live, there is hope? Hurry up, leave me alone! Shi Ah hissed and said exhaustively.
However, Cao Xing was resolutely opposed, at this time, at that time, he must not leave Shi A.
The two were arguing there, and the officers and soldiers behind were also chasing closer and closer, seeing that they were about to meet each other, they suddenly slipped down a rope from the middle of Cao Xing and Shi A, and the two looked up and saw a slender figure standing above.
"What are you fighting for there, you don't want to die, don't you hurry up!"
When Cao Xing and Shi heard this, he couldn't care so much, and immediately grabbed the rope, and the people above pulled them up quickly, and the three of them went directly to the wall, and the officers and soldiers below saw this and kept shouting, let others recruit more people, and Cao Xuan and the others must be caught today.
It's just that now that Cao He and Shi A and the others are not panicking, although it is a little difficult to climb up this wall, but it should not be much difficult to jump down, after all, the three of them are all people who practice martial arts, I saw that the three of them held their breath and condensed, and jumped under the wall in an instant, looking at the officers and soldiers behind the wall, Shi A and Cao Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
The three of them didn't say much, and quickly ran in another direction, Cao Xing and Shi A followed, and under the leadership of one person in front, they walked into another alley, opened a door in that alley, and there was an underground secret room below, this place was very hidden, and it should be able to hide for a while.
A candle was lit, making this basement a little brighter, Cao Xuan couldn't help but look at the person who rescued them and said, "Thank you Miss Ren for helping!" ”
Although the person in front of him was wearing another mask, Cao Xuan could still tell from the voice that the person who saved them in front of him was none other than Ren Xun.
"Hehe, Cao Xing, you don't have to thank me, I admire your boldness, only two people, you dare to come to Luoyang to play, you may not know the problem of treating you, Dong Zhuo and the family are the same enemy!"
"Hehe, when the imperial master and the current family look up to me Cao Xuan so much, but Miss Ren doesn't have to worry about my affairs, but I'm quite worried about how to explain to Situ Wang Yun after you go back!"
Cao Xing was distinct, and seeing through the two gaps in the mask, Ren Xun seemed to roll his eyes at him: "Cao Xing, who is worried about you, you still have to ask for more blessings, as for me here, you don't have to worry too much, although my identity has always been under those people, but I have not been completely in vain in the capital all these years, I also have my own way of doing things, they will not find out!" ”
In this case, everyone has nothing to say, Ren Wei first took out a little wine, Shi A and Cao Xing, the two, began to gobble up the sea to eat and drink, after a while, the two finished eating the food in front of them, and then looked at Ren Wei, there is no doubt that Ren Wei is now also on the same front with Cao Xing, and the top priority now is how to escape from this Luoyang City.
"Cao Xing, don't you still have an army outside? Call your army to meet you! Ren Wei asked first.
However, Cao Xing laughed twice, in fact, the first moment he entered Luoyang, Che Wu had already quietly left with all the horses, and it was precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo sent people out to look for Cao Xing's barracks again, but found that Cao Xing's 8,000 men and horses had already gone to the empty building, Dong Zhuo felt that he was played by Cao Xing this time, and he was angry in his heart, so he was so active in arresting Cao Xing.
Ren Wei was also silent after hearing this, which means that now they don't have any reinforcements outside, and if they want to get out, I'm afraid they can only rely on themselves.
"Lord, otherwise, when I stayed in Luoyang, I had already figured out the situation of those patrol guards at night, I went to kill two people, and the two of us put on their armor, and then quietly went out of the city!" Shi Ah proposed.
However, before Cao Xuan could speak, Ren Xun next to him sneered and said, "What kind of bad idea do you have? I can tell you very responsibly that now Cao Xing's portrait has already spread in several city gates, let alone put on armor, even if you put on human skin, it is estimated that you will not be able to escape! Come out with this idea, your brain is kicked by a donkey! ”
Hearing Ren Wei scolding himself there, Shi Ah of course stopped doing it, so he hugged his hand and said unconvinced: "Don't say these useless things there, if you have the ability, you can find a way to come out!" ”
Seeing that the two of them had the intention of continuing to quarrel, Cao Xuan hurriedly stopped the two of them, Shi Ah also turned his head and no longer paid attention to Ren Xing, and Ren Wei also took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and then said.
"Cao Xing, do you remember what I just said, now the entire court in Luoyang seems to be wanted by you, whether it is the family or Dong Zhuo, that is, you are the enemy of the entire Luoyang!"
Hearing Ren Xun say this, Cao Xing first fell into deep thought, and then squinted at Ren Xun and asked, "You mean, if I can provoke it and get the support of some officials or families, I can run out of this Luoyang City!" ”
Ren Xun nodded, and shook his head again: "Just if you go out like this, which official can you meet, and which official dares to help you, I mean, it's better for us to kidnap an official and threaten him to let him take us out!" ”
Although Ren Wei's method sounds a little ridiculous, all the big officials in this Luoyang City are outside, and even if there is no soldier to protect them, there are family members, where is it so easy to hijack, but after thinking about it, it seems that only Ren Wei's method is more feasible, and it can be said that it is not the method in the method.
Now that the idea has been proposed, no matter what happens, you have to try to do it first, so Cao Xuan asked Shi A to inquire about the situation first.
And Shi A also went out to squat every day as usual, and the squatting places were mainly concentrated in the palace, after all, the people who came out of the palace were more prominent, and it should be easier for them to get out of the city.
However, compared to those who came out of the palace, what is more noteworthy is that those who came out of Li Ru's mansion turned out to be Li Ru's people after all, which is equivalent to Dong Zhuo's people, and Dong Zhuo's people act, wouldn't it be more convenient.
Shi A, Cao Xing and the others took turns squatting, and seven or eight days had passed in a year, and the three of them couldn't wait.
