Chapter 183: Save Zhang Rang and meet the Young Emperor
Everyone who enters the palace has their own selfish desires, Yuan Shao is to control the Han court, after Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang killed He Miao, they took the opportunity to divide the soldiers and horses of the southern army, Su Chen is not pragmatic, but pragmatic, thinking that only what is in his hands is the most down-to-earth, among these people, I am afraid that only Cao Cao is really in order to get rid of thieves.

Zhang Rang and Duan Jue walked out on foot with dozens of people including Liu Wei and Liu Xie. At night, arrive at Kohiratsu. The six imperial seals used by the emperor were not brought with him, and there were no ministers to follow, only Shangshu Lu Zhi and Peng Mingong in central Henan arrived at the bank of the Yellow River at night.
Min Gong reprimanded Zhang Rang and the others sharply, and said: "If you don't die now, I will come to kill you!" So he hacked several eunuchs to death with the sword in his hand, Zhang Rang and others were shocked and frightened, bowed again, and kowtowed to Liu Wei to say goodbye: "We are dead, please take care of yourself, Your Majesty!" So he prepared to throw himself into the river.
To say that the eunuchs are also cornered, in terms of who is the most loyal to the emperor in the world, it must be the eunuchs, they grew up in the palace since childhood, and have a deep relationship with the emperor, even if it is at the last moment, they will not hurt the emperor, because they know that everything they have comes from the emperor, once they lose the emperor's trust, then there is nothing.
Because Su Chen was a cavalryman, he chased all the way, and suddenly heard a movement in front of him, he asked Wei Xu to find out, and Wei Xu immediately reported after seeing it: "Lord, someone in front of you threw himself into the river?" ”
"Throw yourself into the river? This is new, I have only heard of those who beg for life, but I have never heard of those who begged for death, go and rescue the people who threw themselves into the river, Ben Hou wants to see who they are. ”
After Wei Xu got the order, he ordered the wolf to ride down to save people, but the wolf riders were all northern men, who were not familiar with water by nature, so let them go down to the river, even if they cultivated well, but the river was turbulent, and I am afraid it would be more than lucky.
Su Chen saw the embarrassed appearance of these people, and immediately understood, and hurriedly said to the tiger guard who followed beside him: "If anyone has a good water nature, go down to save people, if you save those who are alive, Benhou will be rewarded." ”
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention, there are really a few southern rangers, a few people don't care about the danger, jump straight down, after a while, there is a cry for help on the river, he quickly let people pull the rope, fortunately, these rangers in addition to the good cultivation, the water is even more, simply did not cause casualties.
A total of three people were saved, and with the help of torches, he looked at these two watery soup chickens and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" Why can't you think of jumping into the river here to commit suicide? ”
Because the fire was dim and there was no moonlight, he didn't completely see the faces of the two soup chickens, and as soon as his words fell, a familiar voice came: "Hou Ye is really a noble man who forgets things, and he forgot the old slave so quickly." ”
"It turned out to be the Marquis Zhang?" He got off the horse and saw who else was the person who spoke was not Zhang Rang, although he had not met Zhang Rang privately in order to avoid suspicion, and he was done by other people, but above the court, he had seen Zhang Rang.
"Hou Ye Zhang is polite!" In any case, Zhang Rang helped him, although the interests of both parties were needed at that time, but there was no one here, and it was nothing to salute Zhang Rang.
His attitude towards Zhang Rang made the other party's heart warm, and then he listened to him say: "How can there be any Zhongchang Servant Zhang Hou Ye here, Zhongchang Servant is dead, and what remains is just a corpse of the walking dead." ”
Su Chen understood what Zhang Rang meant, now that the Ten Standing Servants have become the existence of shouting and shouting and killing, they have no soil for survival, but since they were rescued by Su Chen, Zhang Rang will not continue to seek death, as the so-called good death is better than living, Zhang Rang has scavenged a lot of goods over the years, and he should not have enjoyed it yet.
"I don't know what Marquis Zhang's plans are in the future?"
"Intended?" Hearing this, Zhang Rang laughed self-deprecatingly, "If it is so big today, where is there a place for Zhang Rang, Yuan Benchu has arrested and killed all Zhang's clansmen, and Zhang has become a lonely ghost with nowhere to go." ”
Hearing this, Su Chen had an idea, and suddenly said: "Hou Ye Zhang has helped Ben Hou a lot, if Hou Ye doesn't dislike it, can you go to Ben Hou's Youzhou as a guest?" It is far away from Luoyang, there is no so-called politics, and Hou Ye can live there for a long time? ”
This proposal surprised Zhang Rang: "Master Hou dares to take Zhang Rang in? Not to mention that Hou Ye is the general of Wei Youzhou Mu, but he is the mainstay of the court today, but it is said that Hou Ye was born in a family, and he is the son-in-law of the Cai family, and his prestige is all over the world. ”
"A mere name is like a floating cloud to me! As long as Zhang Houye is incognito, Ben Hou guesses that there are only a handful of people who can know Zhang Houye in Youzhou, so there is no hindrance. After that, he looked to the north and muttered to himself: "Besides, what if the world knows?" The world has been in turmoil, Cao Mengde has a good saying, those who mess with the world must start with He Jin. ”
"After the chaos in the world, it will naturally be like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the princes will rise together, and at that time, who in the world will remember Zhang Rang, who once committed suicide by throwing himself into the river?"
"What's more, Hou Ye Zhang has scavenged so many people's fat and ointment over the years, and he has gone before he has enjoyed it, so isn't it cheaper for those who come after him?"
"Hahahaha, this time Zhang Rang knows why Hou Ye wants to take Zhang Rang in? Didn't you fall in love with the wealth of a certain collection? ”
"Yes and no!" Su Chen said half-truthfully: "What does Marquis Zhang think about the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce of Benhou? What about Su wine? Do you think Ben Hou is a person who is short of money? ”
"Moreover, I'm not afraid to tell you that Ben Hou has seized Zhang Jiao's treasure house, does Zhang Hou know how much gold and silver there is in it? That is to rob the wealth of most of the families in Jizhou, does Marquis Zhang still think that your little money can enter the eyes of Benhou? ”
"This..."Yes, thinking that the other party was in control of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, which was extremely rich and rivaled, and there were so many goods that made people go crazy, Zhang Rang was also a little suspicious of his inference just now.
Su Chen didn't give him much time to think, and finally asked, "How is it?" Hou Ye Zhang, Ben Hou still has to save His Majesty, there is not much time, if Hou Ye is willing, he will temporarily pretend to be Hou Hou's servant, and when the matter in Luoyang is settled, when the time comes, when he returns to Youzhou, Hou Ye is not at ease? ”
Zhang Rang gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and finally decided: "Since Hou Ye is willing to take in the old slave, the old slave has nothing to say, but if the name is not right, it is not good, since the Hou Ye can afford the old slave, the old slave will recognize the Hou Ye as the master, and Zhang Rang will meet the master." ”
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" He didn't expect Zhang Rang to worship him as the master, although he didn't know what medicine this old guy sold in his gourd, but this did not prevent him from buying people's hearts, so he quickly helped him up.
"Master, Zhang Rang is dead, please give the old slave a name!" Zhang Rang said firmly.
"This ......" Since the other party is so resolute, in order to reassure him, Su Chen didn't shirk anymore, thought about it, and said: "In the future, you will call Su Zhong, and take the meaning of loyalty to the Su family, but Zhang Gong is an elder after all, and Ben Hou can't call him at will, so I will call you Uncle Zhong in the future." ”
"The master can't help it, never let it!" Su Zhong said that he was about to refuse, but Su Chen stopped him and said undoubtedly: "It's settled, Ben Hou now has several sons, and he is worried that no one will discipline him, Uncle Zhong has been accompanying the holy driver in the palace all the year round, and he will have to trouble Uncle Zhong to discipline those rabbit cubs in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Zhong faintly noticed his ambition, but not only did he not get angry, but he was very excited, maybe he would be able to be beautiful in the future.
Immediately, Su Zhong introduced another rescued eunuch named Bi Lan, who was a relatively talented and learned person among the eunuchs, and once made a dump car to take river water to sprinkle the road. This person is also very valuable, Su Zhong served Su Chen, and Bi Lan followed, and Su Chen named him Su Lan.
Following the direction pointed by Su Zhong, he chased all night, and when it was dawn, he didn't see any trace of the emperor and his party, at this time Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also chased after him, and the two sides happened to meet.
Seeing that it was Su Chen in front of them, Yuan Shao and the others immediately chased after them.
"Fifth brother, have you seen any traces of Your Majesty?"
As early as when Yuan Shao came over, Su Zhong and Su Lan were mixed in the army, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't see it, hearing Yuan Shao's words, Su Chen replied: "Big brother, third brother, little brother chased all night and didn't find any trace of His Majesty, but I guess Your Majesty should have found a place to hide nearby, why don't we look for it together?" ”
"Very good!"
The three groups of people searched for Liu Bian together, and at noon, there was no result.
However, it is said that after Zhang Rang and others threw themselves into the river, Min Gong helped the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, and chased the faint light of the fireflies in the night, and walked south, wanting to return to the palace. After walking a few miles, they got a board car from the people's house, and after the three of them took the car to Luoshe, they got off the car to rest.
After dawn, I found two horses, the young emperor rode one alone, Chen Liuwang and Min Gong rode one together, and went south from the house, and happened to meet Su Chen and three people along the way, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao did not have many people and horses, but fortunately Su Chen had five thousand cavalry, after the emperor saw it, he was initially startled by these alien races, and when he saw Yuan Shao, he knew that it was his own people, and he was ecstatic.
After receiving Liu Bian's encouragement and praise, everyone began to return to the palace. With the escort of the army, the emperor's hanging heart finally let go.
Su Chen was strange that he didn't see Shizun Wang Yue, and he didn't know if the other party was secretly protecting him or if he was not here for a long time, it stands to reason that when he saw him coming, he should have appeared, but he didn't appear at this time, so he couldn't help thinking nonsense.
The army marched to the north, and suddenly saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of him, Su Chen had a guess in his heart, and immediately ordered Han Ying to form a formation to resist the enemy, at the same time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were also in strict formation, and the emperor saw that the carriage and horses stopped, and he was panicked in his heart, for fear of repeating the scene of last night.
