After a while, the city gate was really opened in front of He Zhangqi. He Zhangqi thought about it for a while, and he felt that as far as he knew, the probability of this being a trap should be very low. Then he said to the soldiers around him: "Follow me and rush in!" Let's take control of the gates! After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out.

Just as He Zhangqi estimated, there was no ambush at the city gate. He led his cavalry through the gates and the urn, and immediately dismounted and went up to the wall, first taking control of the tower, and then looking out into the city from above.

By this time the city had been completely disturbed, and there was a commotion everywhere, and he saw fire dragons galloping along the dark streets. He Zhangqi, who had studied the model of Luoyang City more than once, immediately saw the goal of these fire dragons.

"This is going to King Fu's Mansion, this pair is heading towards the Patrol Yamen, and this team is heading towards the Governor's Mansion. It seems that Lao Liu's side has also succeeded. Well, there is a team coming this way, it should be Huang Guo, to control the north gate. By the way, what is the matter with Lao Tzu? Patrolling the city, you can't let King Fu run away from this direction of Lao Tzu. Ah! ”

Luoyang is a big city, and Huang Zide's tens of thousands of people are not enough to really "surround the city". In fact, most of the so-called "sieges" can only be done by sending troops to block a few gates. If it is really "surrounded", then either the army is spread thinner than the pancake, and then the army in the city will be killed, and a situation of more fighting less can be formed at any point. After a few fights, the morale of the besieging army should collapse. If you can do it at any point with no less troops than the opponent rushing out, you really don't know how many troops are needed. has such a strong force, go directly A, don't you have it, and surround what kind of city.

Therefore, in those days, even in the midst of a siege, if the people of the city climbed over the city wall and then evaded the patrol troops of the besieging side, they still had a great chance of escaping from the "besieged city". The people in those stories who emerge from the siege and go outside to ask for help are rarely really "out of the siege".

Of course, it is not completely impossible to really completely surround a city to death, and there is also a stupid way to dig a trench outside the opponent's city wall, build an earthen wall, and completely surround the city, just like what Jin Guo is doing in Jinzhou now. This was in effect the construction of another wall outside the city. Nature can besiege the city to death.

However, this method also requires a lot of manpower, so it is only suitable for dealing with a city like Jinzhou, which is strong but has a small city wall, and is not suitable for dealing with a large city like Luoyang. So now he is in charge of patrolling outside the north gate, so as to intercept the He Zhangqi of King Fu who may have fled, but now he is leading people up the city wall and occupying the city tower......

"Zhang Ruding, give you a hundred people, and guard the city gate for me. The others followed Lao Tzu down to inspect, but don't let King Fu escape. He Zhangqi handed over the matter of guarding the city tower to his officers, and hurriedly led people down the city, thinking to himself: "Don't let the blessed king of the dog run away from us, if you really want him to run away, Marshal Huang has something to say, Lao Liu's guy will definitely be furious and shouting to cut off Lao Tzu's head." ”

At this time, Liu Jiexuan had already handed over the east gate to the follow-up men, and he took a team of cavalry to Fuwang's Mansion. Along the way, he encountered several more rebels, but the defenders of the city saw that the city was broken, so they took advantage of the chaos to grab things in the city. Liu Jiexuan didn't care about them at this time, as long as they didn't block the way, he would let them go for the time being. If they stand in the way, they will rush away. After a while, they arrived in front of King Fu's mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw Huang Laiheng, the son of Huang Guo, guarding the gate of the mansion with a few soldiers. Liu Jiexuan jumped off the horse and asked, "Come to Heng, where is your father?" Did you catch King Fu? ”

Huang Laiheng replied: "General Liu, King Fu's father and son have all run away. My father is interrogating those palace maids and eunuchs. ”

"Dogs run fast!" Liu Jiexuan's righteous son Liu Dawei said.

"I can't run." Liu Jiexuan didn't care too much, "Several city gates are blocked by our people, they can't walk through the city gates, and they can't take horses when they go over the city wall." Without horses, where can they run? Have you seen the warehouse or anything? ”

Huang Laiheng said: "This is naturally guarded." ”

While the two were talking, they saw a group of soldiers coming, and the one who walked at the end was the little leader, holding Huang Zide's arrow, and at the front was a big man with a loud voice. The big man struck the gong and shouted Huang Zide's An Min Xiaoxiao.

When this team of soldiers passed, Liu Jiexuan said: "Send someone to take me to find Huang Guo." ”

Huang Laiheng answered, then called a small school and asked him to take Liu Jiexuan into King Fu's mansion.

Entering the mansion, he soon arrived at the place where Huang Guo interrogated the eunuch, but Huang Guo was no longer there, and the officer who stayed there said that Huang Guo asked some clues and knew that the father and son of King Fu and the princess went through the back door in the chaos. So he led the men and chased after him.

Liu Jiexuan said: "How to go to the back door?" Take me there. ”

The officer assigned another soldier to take Liu Jiexuan to the back door.

Liu Jiexuan followed the leading soldiers, led a group of personal soldiers, passed through a long alley, turned two corners, passed two or three gates, and saw a tall house, the door was locked with a big lock, and there were five or six brothers guarding the door. He inquired and learned that this place was called Xisanku, and it was full of fine silk and satin, all kinds of agate, jade, coral, jade, gold, silver, copper, lacquer antiques and all kinds of precious furnishings. There were three corpses lying nearby, dressed in officer uniforms. He continued to hurry forward, bypassing the side of the back garden, and saw some brothers with lanterns and torches looking up and down the rockery in the garden, in front of and behind the deer pen, and around the leopard house. The door of the deer pen had been opened, and several sika deer had rushed out of the enclosure and panicked through the trees. As soon as you pass through the garden, you will pass through a white jade archway and you will arrive at the back gate of Miyagi.

Li Jun, who was in charge of guarding the back gate of the palace, heard that Liu Jiexuan was coming, so he hurried to meet him.

Liu Jiexuan asked, "What about Huang Guo?" ”

Li Jun hurriedly replied: "I heard that King Fu's father and son have left the palace and gone to the north, and General Huang led people to chase after them. ”

Liu Jiexuan said angrily: "Li Jun, what kind of fame have you made? According to the rules, you should lead someone to block the back door as quickly as possible. Why are you moving so slowly and letting them run out? ”

Li Jun hurriedly said: "General Liu, you can't blame me for this. As soon as I entered the city, I came here with my cavalry. Unexpectedly, there are gates on the streets on the east and west sides of the harem gate, and the gate cannot be passed. After laboriously cutting through the gate gate, hundreds of rebellious soldiers came down from the city, intending to enter the palace to rob, and some had already swarmed into the palace. They block the road outside the harem gates. The drink caused them to disperse, and they not only did not listen, but also confronted them with swords and spears. We had to fight them again and disperse them before we reached the back door, and by this time, King Fu and they had already run out. ”

Liu Jiexuan thought about it, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little, so he said: "You leave a few people to guard this gate, and you take the rest of the cavalry yourself, and go out of the city to find it." Be sure to catch King Fu. Otherwise, even if the marshal spares you, Lao Tzu will cut off your head. Do you understand! ”

Li Jun knew that the matter was serious, so he answered, and hurriedly got on his horse and went to the north gate.

……

King Fu took his son and wife and ran in the dark to the city wall, and there was a commotion at the north gate, which was not a good thing to hear. King Fu naturally didn't dare to go over there. One of the guards took out a throwing hook and threw it at the wall. I pulled hard, and when I saw that the hook was firm, I pulled the rope and climbed up.

A few guards went up to the city wall first, and then lowered the rope again, and asked King Fu, the prince, the princess and others to tie the rope around their waists, and then everyone exerted their strength and pulled them up one by one. King Fu had never had such an experience in his life, and when he was hoisted into the air by a rope, his teeth chattered in fright. It's just that he knows that the city is full of thieves now, otherwise he would have shouted out a long time ago.

On the city wall, the two guards first went down to the outside of the city along the rope, and then still used the rope to put down the Fu Wang and them, and after the last few guards came down, they took the Fu King and them to the north.

At this time, although there was some moonlight in the sky, it was not bright. King Fu is a fat man, and he has never walked a few steps by himself in his life. After leaving the city, he had only walked three miles, and he was panting like a cow, and he could no longer walk. The guards took turns carrying him and continued to hurry.

Princess Zou proposed, saying that the goal of walking together is too big, it is easy to be discovered, and if you have horses or not, once you are discovered, there is nowhere to escape. It's better to go separately. King Fu's guards also agreed. King Fu divided the team into two halves, himself and the princess, and the three eunuchs and three guards in a team, and the prince and the other two eunuchs and two guards in a team, and fled separately.

After walking for another two or three miles, they encountered the patrol cavalry of the revolutionary army, and the group hid in the woods again. The trees obscured the moonlight, and it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. It was hard to wait for the cavalry of the revolutionary army to go away. King Fu and several of his guards and eunuchs came out, but found that the princess and the eunuch who was carrying the princess did not know where to go, probably lost in the dark. King Fu didn't dare to shout, nor did he dare to stay here to look for it, so he had to let the eunuch guards continue to escape.

At this time, a cloud floated in the sky, which just obscured the moon, and the ground was dark again. A few people groped their way up and down to walk. In this way, until the sky gradually brightened. Several people were tired, hungry and thirsty, and saw a temple on the mountainside in front of them from a distance, and a eunuch recognized that this was Ying'en Temple in the northeast of the city.

King Fu said, "Let's go to the temple to get some food, get some water to drink, and rest." The widow ran all night, and he was really tired. ”

A guard said: "Lord, this temple is not far from Luoyang, and it is very conspicuous, I am afraid that Liukou will find out that the prince is out of the city, and it will be easy to find this place if he chases him." Let's not go. ”

King Fu said: "The widow can't go." Be sure to take a break. Take a break and leave, what are you afraid of? ”

And the group went to the temple.
