Consecutive days of snowstorms are destined to seriously delay the transportation and information dissemination of this era. And this celestial phenomenon seems to be another serious obstacle in the eastward journey of the Son of Heaven and his entourage, or in the southeastward journey.

At first, it was just snowing, but almost the entire Yang clan was dispatched and made all the preparations, how terrifying would it be once the hundred-year-old clan was fully dispatched? There is no shortage of supplies, personnel, livestock and vehicles. Even the two beauties were personally served by Yang's family members, and there were even more people prepared along the way.

Therefore, in the first three days of the Son of Heaven's escape, except for the limited speed, he walked very smoothly.

However, when they came to the southeast of the area of the mountains and mountains, they suddenly fell into a predicament - the south of the mountain and the north of the mountain are different, the snow in the south of the mountain is very thin, and the snow stops quickly, except for one main passage, the road is inevitably muddy, but the only main passage, that is, the famous Shangluo passage, is too obvious, it is likely to attract pursuers!

In this regard, Hu Ben Zhonglang suggested that Jing Ze take the avenue directly, because there is only one Shang County and two or three small checkpoints that cannot cover all the passages from Wuguan in front, speed up, and the past will pass.

But Yang Biao and other old adults have expressed doubts about this, they think that these small checkpoints are very deadly, among which the guards are all low-level officers, and they are naturally more close to General Wei's side of the low-level martial arts, once there are a few of them who are stunned, who will guarantee the life of the Supreme?

It must be known that the real decision of this group of people is the Yang family, so since Yang Biao and the others are suspicious, they naturally have no right to speak in Jingze, and naturally they can't go from Nanmian Avenue.

So, the Son of Heaven and his entourage naturally chose to walk from the trail with thick snow in the north of the mountain, so such a group of ministers who can't lift their hands and shoulders on weekdays have seen what is called the howling north wind in the mountains and the snow and ice on the road.

In the next few days, it was really hard, just a mountain and a mountain, seven livestock were exhausted, four cars were broken, and even Wang Mang's skull was crushed to the corner of his jaw, so he could only go to Nanyang to see if he could make up for it with gold.

As for the death of a few Yang slaves, it was even more inevitable in a fleeing team of nearly five or six hundred people.

What's even worse is that the seriously sluggish speed made the Son of Heaven and his party more and more worried about the possibility of chasing the soldiers, in order to prevent being hacked to death in the mountains with knives, but later, so many people didn't even dare to start a fire, so they could only drink snow water and eat fried cakes.

However, it is worth mentioning that the performance of the Son of Heaven is extremely good, after realizing that it is obvious that Yang Biao made a big mistake in the choice of route, the young Son of Heaven did not complain about anyone, but untied the six seals, took off the crown clothes, changed into ordinary clothes and got out of the car and walked in person, and even symbolically participated in the cart, and did not complain about food and drinking water.

The various performances of the young son of heaven made Yang Biao ashamed and almost burst into tears, and he even added two more expectations for his future trip to Nanyang.

And on the afternoon of this day, thanks to the blessing of the Son of Heaven and the unity of the group, everyone finally walked out of the north path and came to the Shangluo passage behind Wuguan, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Needless to say, Yang Qi and Jing Ze took the lead and led the latter's dozens of elite Tiger Ben soldiers to Wuguan to contact Han Xian, while the Son of Heaven and the others took a break in a col in Shannan that had turned snow, and waited for the two to come back to respond.

Unexpectedly, when the night came, the two had not yet returned, but there was a sudden chaos in the convoy.

"What's the matter?!" The young son of heaven was awakened by the sound of swords and fire, and panicked for a while. "Have the pursuers arrived?"

"Supreme, don't be impatient." Right Zhonglang made Li Shao embarrassed, ignoring that there were still Fumei people in the tent, and came directly to the tent with a white blade to report. "It's not that it's chasing soldiers, but that some of the Yang family servants don't want to go east, they want to rob their property and leave...... It's just a few dozen people, and Yang Cheng is dealing with it! ”

The Son of Heaven bowed slightly.

And Li Shao only noticed the beauty behind the Son of Heaven at this time, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to confess and leave, and then sat upright and guarded outside the tent, with a loyal posture.

Seeing this, the Fumei people bowed on the shoulders of the Son of Heaven and asked carefully: "Supreme, it should be fine, right?" ”

There was a lot of fire outside the tent, and it was a mess, and Liu Xie, who had been sleeping in clothes, turned around and smiled reluctantly, but he didn't say a word, just learned the posture of Li Shao outside the tent and sat upright with a sword.

What can be said? Although Liu Xie is a teenager, after all, he has experienced many things, and he is sixteen years old, and thanks to the protection of the court system of the Han family in Chang'an, he has received a complete basic education (reading in the bundle refers more to the construction of the system), although some things are not said, they do not understand.

For example, why did Jing Ze have to lead those dozens of armor soldiers to find Han Xian in the afternoon? In fact, it wasn't Jing Ze's meaning at all, but the Yang family still couldn't trust Jing Ze and wanted to take the opportunity to win the right to defend the Son of Heaven.

This is not some malice, it is ridiculous to say that fighting for power and profit at this time, but really can't trust Jingze, which Liu Xie knows very well in his heart.

Like now, Li Shao's performance is somewhat of a playful posture, if he is really loyal, go up and fight for the knife? But on the other hand, if Li Shao hadn't stayed outside the tent at this time, Liu Xie and Fu Meiren might not have peace of mind...... This young man also understands this.

In the final analysis, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, and it is impossible to see clearly until the last moment when a person's position is hidden in his heart, and the final decision may not be the true embodiment of his heart.

Located in the wilderness, the sword soldiers have no eyes, and there is nothing superfluous to say, so the Son of Heaven can only hold the sword in a daze. On the other hand, Yang Biao was in a predicament.

In fact, at the beginning, it was only a few ambitious Yang slaves who had bad intentions, because they suffered a lot when they walked from the mountain path, and gradually woke up to the risk of the head of the family's trip, coupled with the reluctance to leave Guanzhong, so they had a bad heart for a while, and recruited more than a dozen people to steal a cart of goods and leave quietly.

However, as soon as they acted, these men alarmed the others, and then a confrontation ensued. In the melee, what caught Yang Biao off guard was that on the one hand, these people stubbornly resisted and fought to the death, on the other hand, almost all of the Yang slaves were resentful and could not contribute to the work, plus a group of domestic servants naturally lacked combat experience, so they couldn't take it for a while.

And in the middle of the night, the consequence of not being able to stabilize the situation quickly is that the chaos is getting bigger and bigger.

During the struggle, some people grabbed torches and set fire to tents and vehicles; Some people fish in troubled waters and try to imitate these people to steal property; There were also some servants who simply turned against the water and tried to plunder openly.

In the face of such a situation, Yang Biao and a few ministers from civil servants are useless!

The chaos was late at night, the situation was completely out of control, most of the baggage was robbed, and the Son of Heaven was robbed of two of the several cars that he brought out of the Yang Palace.

At dawn, the rebellious servants disappeared, and after a little inspection, they found that Ding Chong, a villager and close friend of Cao Cao, was frozen to death naked in a ditch.

It turned out that Ding Chong was a well-known alcoholic, but it was difficult in the mountains and dodder, and he didn't drink much, and he couldn't bear it at all on the mountain path that came out yesterday, so he drank a few more glasses, so that he couldn't get drunk. In the chaos, someone looted his tent, and simply took advantage of the situation to strip the drunken squire who could not stand naked, and threw him into the ditch.

There was a lot of noise in the chaos, maybe the cries for help were not heard, or there was no time to call for help, or even the people were drunk and could not call for help, so they were frozen to death.

In this regard, Yang Biao and others mourned for a while, but they couldn't do anything.

Or, now, there is already a faint bit of the miserable posture of Luoyang moving the capital to Chang'an that day, who cares about anything else?

In the morning, Yang Qi and Jing Ze rushed back, and they were also shocked to see such a situation, among which Jing Ze immediately went to check the safety of the Son of Heaven, which made people secretly ashamed - who didn't know that if Jing Ze and his tiger armor were there last night, there would be no such thing at all? And Jing Ze doesn't care about these things, he only cares about the safety of the Son of Heaven, but it seems precious.

"Death to the minister!" Jing Ze saw that the Son of Heaven was unharmed and was sitting in the tent to hold on, so he breathed a sigh of relief, almost slumped in front of the messy tent, but motioned to the armor to patrol around.

The Son of Heaven, who was also embarrassed, saw Jing Ze bring the armor back, and his heart was a little calm, but he couldn't help but calm down: "Let the Qing family bother, it's useless to think about it too much, those thieves will inevitably expose our location after they disperse, how about Wuguan, can you leave immediately?" ”

Jing Ze hurriedly sat up straight, but lowered his head again: "I was about to talk to the Supreme about this matter......"

"Something happened to Wuguan too?" The Son of Heaven was not surprised. "But Chang'an sent a messenger from the main road to prepare in advance, or simply replaced Captain Han?"

"Not really." Although the two beauties around the Son of Heaven and Yang Biao's wife Yuan, as well as Li Shao, Zhou Zhong and other ministers were there, Jing Ze couldn't care much about it, and directly told the reason. "According to the previous agreement between Yang Gong and Han Duwei, Han Duwei should have been ready to follow the example of his ministers to open the way for the Supreme, and then lead his henchmen to Nanyang to escort him...... His family is in Hedong, and he was originally a big and powerful man, so he was dissatisfied with the new policy, and he was even more dissatisfied with guarding a military pass for five or six years...... These Supremes should be aware. ”

"Not bad."

"But when Han Duwei came to the end, he was a little timid, hesitated for a while, and turned unwilling to accompany him." Jing Ze was a little hesitant, but he still hid the death of Liu Yu, which even he didn't expect, in the expectant eyes of the Son of Heaven. "I don't want to let go of Wuguan, let me wait to leave from the main road. He only said that he was willing to provide ships, so that the Supreme pretended to be a merchant to turn into Danshui from the path on the west side of Wuguan and go down the river, and he would not lead troops to stop him when he passed under Wuguan. ”

This news is tantamount to adding insult to injury, the Son of Heaven was angry for a while, but he was immediately speechless. After all, where is his retreat at this time? I just want to get to Nanyang as soon as possible.

is so calm from the Son of Heaven's side, at the same time, in the corner far away from the Son of Heaven's tent, Yang Qi, who has also returned from Wuguan, is arguing with his younger brother Yang Biao.

Of course, between scholars, especially between the Yang brothers of the fourth and third dukes, it is necessary to talk about a plain cultivation, and the so-called quarrel is not obvious.

It's not so much a quarrel as it is more like a serious conversation with each other.

"When you first said that you would go to Nanyang, I have always objected, just because you are a descendant, ranked as the third duke, and the leader of the clan, and this matter involves the life and death of the whole clan." Yang Qi's eyes were red, as if he was resentful in his heart. "The arrow at the city gate is to remind you that our Yang clan has no way out...... How can you blame me now? Do I want Liu Bo'an to die?! ”

Yang Biao sighed: "Big brother, I know that the matter was caused step by step, and no one has the intention of deliberately destroying the overall situation, but this arrow is really too bad!" Liu Bo'an is not only an auxiliary political clan identified by Emperor Xianling when he was there, nor is he only the Taiwei Lingshang who commanded the Chang'an court for six years, but also one of the three serious emperors of the Son of Heaven...... It's okay if this arrow doesn't die, now that Liu Bo'an is dead, wouldn't the Son of Heaven be named a killer? ”

"I know better than you!" Yang Qi forcibly suppressed his emotions. "But it's still the same sentence, Wen Xian, I knew this was the case, wouldn't it be okay to listen to me and not do it that day? If you are still in Chang'an, let the public security (Yang Zhong) keep the family business, let the ancestors serve the grandson, the two of us and the public court (Yang Mi) really come to the time in case, it is a big deal to die for the Han family, and then the family will naturally continue for all generations, why will it end up in today's situation? ! ”

Yang Biao bowed his head and said nothing, he didn't understand anything, no one thought that the soft arrow would have such a consequence, and the consequences were so serious that Yang Qi himself could not bear it at all, so his clan brother was so out of shape, he was not looking for a reason for himself, but it was really difficult to accept this fact.

And from another point of view, Yang Qi's questioning is indeed reasonable.

Yang Biao, who had seen the heroic demeanor of the Central Plains when he met the Nanyang Alliance that day, put forward this idea, and the two sides hit it off, and also won over Wang Yun, Zhou Zhong, Ding Chong and others, and finally the Son of Heaven himself actually said that Jing Ze was moved.

As for the entire Yang family, it was simply because of the importance of this matter that they passively got on the ship.

Even Yang Qi was the fiercest opponent from the beginning, but seeing that the Son of Heaven and the patriarch had reached an agreement, as a courtier and a member of the clan, he could only join it, and gradually played a backbone role.

And the arrow outside the city gate, in all fairness, on the one hand, the situation is urgent, and on the other hand, there is a little bit of resentment against the patriarch Yang Biao and the Son of Heaven - it is obviously you people who started it, but now you still want to turn back?

But I never expected that that arrow would lead to such serious consequences, and even a martial artist like Han Xian would be shocked by this, and then change his position.

"It's useless to talk too much!" Yang Qi saw Yang Biao bowing his head and was silent, and he also raised his head and slowly let out a white breath. "So far, only try your best to send the Son of Heaven to Nanyang, with the southern capital (Wancheng is one of the three capitals of the Eastern Han Dynasty) and the imperial township as the foundation, in order to recover, if you can really recover the old capital one day, you must give a good gift Liu Bo'an is ......"

"It's nature." Yang Biao hurriedly agreed.

"The family must also be revived." Yang Qi continued. "The name of Hongnong Yang cannot be destroyed by you and me, you are the patriarch, you must be attentive."

Yang Biao hurriedly responded.

"Prepare to cross the river!" Yang Qi finally regained his composure, but shook his hand again. "The boat had already set off when I had a happy time with Jingyou, and it should have been idle at the Danshui Upstream Ferry at this time...... After this chaos, it can be called a light battle. ”

Yang Biao bowed his head again and again.

In this way, since they had the quasi-letter, and they were worried that those escaped Yang slaves would have the courage to plunder again, everyone did not dare to slack off, but only cleaned up a little, and the team that had shrunk to only one or two hundred people set off again. Among them, dozens of armor soldiers were covered in white robes, guarding the Son of Heaven and others who had changed their clothes and the few remaining two carts of palace treasures, and the rest of the people were guarding the ministers and the only remaining three or five carts of supplies, and they hurriedly set off.

As for Ding Chong, in order to prevent wild beasts from gnawing on the mountain, he can only be treated with the other dead bodies yesterday - cremated together with sundries.

However, things were full of twists and turns, but the Son of Heaven and his party crossed Shangluo Avenue and came to the agreed boarding place in the evening of the same day, only to find that there was not even a ghost here! When I asked the residents near the ferry, I learned that there were indeed a number of boats that arrived near noon, but after a short wait, they went back downstream.

As a last resort, Jing Ze went to contact hard, only to know that Han Xian's henchmen were afraid of being exposed, and when he saw that this ferry port was quite populated, he took the initiative to go down and asked the Son of Heaven and his party to board the boat from the downstream wilderness.

Everyone had no choice but to drive from the side road to the east downstream.

In the middle of the night, I saw the boat, but there was no one to answer - Han Xian was afraid of being exposed, so he simply asked people to park the boat on the wild beach, and then went back immediately!

What's even worse is that several ships were left unattended, and they were drifted hundreds of steps eastward by Danshui! And the two sides of the strait are almost equivalent to cliffs, and it is impossible to board the ship calmly!

"Although the river is not frozen, it is only because of the rapid current, it is extremely cold, and you must not go into the water easily, otherwise you may die!" Yang Qi ignored his advanced age, and personally tried to the beach, but shook his head again and again. "Don't say that it's so dark, and the Supreme can't easily get into danger!"

The crowd had nothing to say, but they became more and more desperate.

Several female dependents simply cried, but they were stopped by Yang Qi.

"How's that ship?" In desperation, Jing Ze held the torch and took a closer look, but suddenly saw an opportunity. "It seems that you can get off the boat by hanging ropes from the cliff above, and then when there are people on board, you can easily put down the Supreme with a silk bondage."

When everyone heard this, they went to see it, but they made the longest gesture they had made on the trip - the so-called temporary silence, a typical helpless performance in a desperate situation.

First of all, what Jing Ze said was right, the ship was blocked on the shore, facing the protruding cliff above, and the distance should only be three or five zhang high, and it could indeed be operated in this way. However, there was only one ship next to each other near the ship, and it was far downstream, too far away from the other ships.

Once you enter this ship, the terrain is narrow, and it is not easy to risk turning back to get other ships, so you will have to go alone in two boats...... With so many people, I'm afraid I can't go all the way.

When the time comes, who will go and who will not? How many things do you have to bring?

Theoretically, it is natural that the Son of Heaven, the two beauties, the ministers and the ministers' families get on the ship, and only send a few palace treasures, and then the servants and armorers stay, so that the latter can share some of the goods and disperse calmly, which seems to be acceptable...... But in fact, no one knows how many people these two ships can carry, and this action is very important, it is right for people to carry one, and at the same time, there are so many palace treasures, it is a pity to throw any of them.

So, the silence was followed by an argument.

And the fight was over, but it was still necessary to let the Son of Heaven and the ministers get on the ship as much as possible, and then leave the appropriate people to break the rear, in order to escort the supplies and the remaining personnel out of the military pass by land.

"The minister is coming to break off!" In the midst of the argument, Jing Ze, who was still wrapped in one arm, suddenly raised his voice to the Son of Heaven. "The armor is heavy, it is difficult to get off the boat, I took the headquarters armor to break off on the shore, and then carried the rest of the people and the vehicle from the main road, to Nanyang to meet the Supreme."

Everyone was just about to sigh at Jing Ze's loyalty, that is, the Son of Heaven had become more and more trusting of Jing Ze in the future after this period of time, so he was also ready to give words of encouragement.

But at this moment, Yang Qi suddenly spoke up: "Supreme, the minister has a word!" ”

The Son of Heaven, who was concealed from Liu Yu's death, naturally said solemnly: "Please speak in the waiter." ”

"Everything in the world is people-oriented, and the rest are not to worry! And there are differences between people, such as Your Majesty is involved in the overall situation of the world, naturally it is extremely precious, and everything comes first, so the minister thinks that it is ...... The ship should be the first of the Son of Heaven, the two beauties, and the ministers, and the armor is the heaviest in the troubled times, so it should be followed by the armor, as for the treasures in the palace, the ministers' daughters, and the goods, they will be in the back row! Yang Qi spoke up. Therefore, when the tiger Ben Zhonglang will disembark first, and then receive the Son of Heaven, the two beauties, and the ministers, and then hang down with the armor of the armor, and then leave immediately...... The minister is willing to follow up with his brother Yang Zhong to escort the female dependents out of the military customs by land! ”

The Son of Heaven was at a loss for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't know whether to agree or not. And Jing Ze and Yang Biao wanted to speak together, as if they disagreed.

"Say no more!" Seeing this, Yang Qi directly pulled out the sword in his waist and made a sharp sound. "Is this the time for argument? What's the point of strife? I am the oldest here, and I will make a decision today, and I will make a decision, and Hu Ben Zhonglang will go first. But those who have it must be ill-intentioned! Kill! ”

Everyone was frightened for a while, and the Son of Heaven could only bow his head. And Yang Qi's eldest son, Yang Liang, is also a third-public official, who is in the team, and has the heart to speak, but he was also glanced at by Yang Qi angrily, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more.

Now that someone has made a decision, everyone immediately takes action...... Open the cage he carried, find the rope and silk silk, and tie them into strips, but although Kyozawa was unwilling, he could only be forced to be the first to hang down and enter the ship.

Immediately, the Son of Heaven, Fu, Dong Ermei, Yang Mi, Zhou Zhong, Li Shao and other ministers also disembarked one after another. Although Yang Biao hesitated, he also hung the silk and got off the boat under Yang Qi's forced gaze. Immediately, after several palace treasures that were not very heavy were thrown off the ship, they began to keep getting on the tiger armor.

Later, after dozens of armor soldiers all boarded the boat, they found that the two ships could barely get on board some people, so Yang Biao's wife, that is, Yuan Shu's sister, was tied down, and the rest of the people waited, so it stopped.

In other words, on the shore boat, the torches were lit and each other was clearly visible, and when the two boats started and the people on the boat parted ways, asking Yang Qi and Yang Zhong to take care. In the waiting, Yang Qi, the head of the Yang family, suddenly made an unexpected move.

"The minister is ashamed to have made such a big mistake, and even more ashamed to make the Son of Heaven suffer such a great wrong!" Under the torch, Yang Qi put his sword in front of him and bowed directly on the cliff. "I only hope that Your Majesty will go to the southern capital, with your back to the emperor's hometown, and enjoy the blessing of Guangwu, you must cheer up and rebuild the Han Dynasty!"

The Son of Heaven was inexplicable, but Yang Biao and Jing Ze were suddenly in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything about it.

The boat drifted to the east, Yang Qi stood up, whispered to Yang Zhong, who was also confused on his side, and looked back at the Son of Heaven on the boat, and exhaled again: "Jing Ze works hard, regardless of hard work, can be of great use, may Your Majesty listen to it!" ”

After that, Jing Ze and Yang Biao were cold together, but Yang Qi did not hesitate, directly backhanded himself on the cliff, and then smashed into the Danshui with a thud!

The speed was so fast that after the splash, the Son of Heaven and Yang Zhong were still at a loss.

—————I'm the dividing line of the splash—————

"Emperor Han to Wuguan, Wuguan Captain Han Xian with two boats privately indulged, the boat can not be fully loaded, is to make the Yang Zhonghu ministers and the Son of Heaven Chongbao travel by land through Wuguan, Siam is surprised, recaptured. The next day, Yongzhou Mu Zhong Xiang led the troops to chase him, Siam was terrified, and rode out of Wuguan to the Son of Heaven alone. He then killed the people, pardoned the female dependents, and sent the envoy to Nanyang. And the Son of Heaven got the minister's daughter, and he knew what Siam had done, and he also made Hu Ben Zhonglang kill Jingze on the side of the road. When the Taizu of this dynasty heard it, he said: 'The style of the minister is respectable. Siamese selfish villain, ridiculous also. —"The World Speaks New Language". Elegance
