The Kaiyangmen Bloody Case, the Tonghuo Street Case, the entire Luoyang City fell into a moment of great panic, and everyone fled home one after another, closing the doors and windows, lest they be exterminated as rebels. The soldiers of Xiliang were known for their unreasonableness and brutality. Since they entered Luoyang, because they are greedy for money, they do not distinguish between right and wrong, and they have not done one or two things, and the people of Luoyang have long despaired of them.

And in the north of Luoyang City, at the foot of the Bishan Mountain Range, there is a secluded house. The blue brick is the wall, the vermilion lacquer is the door, there is a plaque above the main gate, the words "good people" are written on it, and the inscription is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty! Within a three-mile radius of the house, there are no people. If someone asks about a nearby village, who does this family live in? No one can say for sure the surname of the head of the family, but they can only tell you that this mansion has been around since their grandfather's grandfather.

Today, the gate of the house is a rare gate, welcoming a group of uninvited guests from afar, as many as 500.

"The last general will join the Commander-in-Chief!" He Xian, under the leadership of Ren Hongchang, met Ren Zhong again, the leader of the embroidered messenger.

"How many soldiers and horses did General Wei bring?" There was no greeting, and Ren Zhong went straight in.

"Five hundred! All loyal and brave people! He Xian replied.

Ren Zhong frowned and said: "Dong Thief is quite suspicious, and now he has three soldiers and horses in the palace. Left Zhonglang will lead Li Ji to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the South Palace, right Zhonglang will lead Guo Yan to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the North Palace, and Hu Ben Zhonglang will Zhang Ji to order 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Chongde Hall and His Majesty. The entrance and exit of the secret passage are in the Jiade Palace, once the thief army discovers our invasion, within the time of a stick of incense, a thousand soldiers and horses under Zhang Ji's command can rush to the Jiade Palace. Half an hour later, Zuo Zhonglang, who was guarding the South Palace, rushed his soldiers and horses to arrive. An hour later, the soldiers and horses of the right Zhonglang general guarding the North Palace will also gather. “

"So we only have an hour at most?" He Xian asked rhetorically.

"Yes! After the three lieutenant generals' 3,000 soldiers and horses arrived, the hope of escape would be greatly reduced! Ren Zhong affirmed.

"Nope! We don't keep the Jiade Temple, we attack the Chongde Temple! He Xian retorted.

"What?" Ren Zhong was shocked. As an embroidered messenger, he is the emperor's dead soldier. He violated the order of the current emperor and participated in the rescue of the deposed emperor, which has already violated the principle of the dead. Let him participate in the attack on the emperor again, it is absolutely impossible!

"Don't worry! We don't really want to kill the Emperor! Our goal from beginning to end is to save lives! He Xian said with relief.

"Siege Wei to save Zhao's strategy?"

"Not bad! As long as we attack the Chongde Palace, Zhang Ji will definitely send a message for help! Li Dao will definitely give everything he has and rush to the rescue. That is the best time to rescue King Hongnong and the Queen Mother! He Xian calculated, "Guo Yan wants to guard the North Palace, and at most he can send five hundred soldiers and horses." In other words, Zilong, you may have to fight two thousand five hundred Xiliang soldiers for an hour with five hundred armor troops! Can you do it? ”

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and affirmed: "There is no problem!" It is inconvenient for war horses to charge in the palace, so we only need to block the periphery of Chongde Gate and not attack. Zhang Ji will definitely stick to the help. Taking advantage of the time difference between Li Dao and Guo Yan to return to help, the number of enemies that the Mask Armor Army needs to face at the same time is not much! Just build a simple defense, and the crossbows of the Mask Armor Army will be invincible for a short time! ”

"Good!" Zhao Yun's plan is mainly to delay, and it is the most suitable to surround the point and send reinforcements.

"King Hongnong and the Queen Mother, where do you live now?" He Xian asked Ren Zhongdao instead.

"Dong Zhuo placed King Hongnong in Age, and the Queen Mother still lives in Changqiu Palace."

Ren Zhong took out a map of Luoyang Palace, pointed to Ah Ge and Changqiu Palace, and said.

Luoyang South Palace, the whole presents a lattice-shaped layout. The main palace is located on the north-south axis, from north to south: Sima Gate, Duan Gate, but not the door, but not the hall, Zhanghua Gate, Chongde Palace, Zhongde Palace, Qianqiu Long Live Hall and Pingshuo Palace. Chongde Hall is the place where the current emperor Liu Xie lived and held a court meeting.

There are two rows of symmetrical palace buildings on the east and west sides of the central axis. The two rows on the west side are arranged from south to north. The east row is Hongde Gate, Mingguang Palace, Xuanshu Palace, Chengfu Palace, Jiade Gate, Jiade Palace, Yutang Palace, Xuande Palace, Jiande Palace; The west row is the Yuntai Palace, the Xianqin Palace, the Hanzhang Palace, the Yang'an Palace, the Yuntai, the Lantai, the Pavilion, the Changqiu Palace, and the West Palace. There are two rows on the east side, and the west row is the Golden Horse Palace, the Bronze Horse Palace, the Respect Law Palace, the Zhangde Palace, the Lecheng Gate, the Lecheng Palace, the Wende Hall and the East Palace; The east row is the middle of the service, the Qingliang Palace, the Phoenix Palace, the Yellow Dragon Palace, the Shou'an Palace, the Bamboo Palace, the Chengfeng Hall and the East View. The four rows of palaces on either side of the central axis are parallel to the central axis, making the buildings on the central axis more prominent and majestic. The five rows of buildings in the north and south can be divided into eight rows if they are arranged horizontally at the direct angle to the central axis. In this way, there are straight roads in the front and back of each palace building to the left and right to communicate with the other palaces.

Judging from the map, the Jiade Palace, A Pavilion, and Changqiu Palace are on the west side of the central axis, and the distance is not too far, which is a good thing. In particular, Ah Ge and Changqiu Palace are connected to the north and south, and if it goes well, they should be able to return to the Jiade Hall within half an hour.

"I'll talk as we go!" He Xian proposed.

"Good!" Ren Zhong put away the map and led He Xian and the others to the main hall of the courtyard. Remove the screen at the entrance of the main hall, lift the carpet, and a huge floor tile carved with the shape of the green dragon and white tiger and the red bird Xuanwu suddenly appeared underneath. The four deputy commanders under Ren Zhong took out a bronze talisman from his chest, which was in the shape of a green dragon and white tiger Vermilion Bird Xuan, which matched the four miniature grooves on the floor tiles.

After the four bronze talismans were embedded, the floor tiles several inches thick were divided into four. A swarthy hole was revealed, and blue brick steps led down from the ground to the depths of the earth.

"This is the secret passage to the Garter Hall?" He Xian asked in surprise. The last time he came, He Xian was blindfolded throughout the whole process, and in order to confuse He Xian's sensory system, the embroidered messenger deliberately carried him to turn left and right, up and down, so that He Xian couldn't judge the distance and trend at all.

"Not bad!" Ren Zhong took a torch from his subordinate and took the lead down the tunnel. After He Xian, Ren Hongchang, Zhao Yun and five hundred armor sergeants quietly followed down the secret passage. After taking all the personnel down, the four embroidered messengers received the bronze talisman of the four divine beasts, and the large thick floor tiles shook to return to their original positions, and the secret road entrance was closed again. The four of them covered themselves with a carpet and meditated cross-legged, guarding the entrance.

Ren Zhong walked all the way, lighting the torches along the way. The entire passage is paved with green bricks, allowing two people to enter at the same time. At critical moments, there is no pressure to run. At regular intervals, thin copper pipes lead to the ground, which seem to be used for ventilation, and the design is very clever.
