Luoyang City.

Above the sky, pieces of crystal clear snowflakes were flying thinly, and this ancient city, which was already like ruins, had already fallen silent, but at this time, there were bursts of shouting and killing sounds that rushed to the sky.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing and the sound of fighting alarmed countless people.

Early in the morning, Cao Jun led the troops into the city, from the southeast two city gates into Luoyang, Xu Lei and Zhang Feng are the vanguard army, Zhang Feng took the south gate, Xu Lei went to the east gate.

After Xu Lei entered the city, he took his own troops and originally went to the former imperial city, but the sudden turmoil in the southern city made their troops quickly stop and be on guard.

"It's moving!"

Xu Lei heard the shouting in Nancheng, and suddenly understood in his heart that he was afraid that Gao forgot to succeed, as long as Zhang Feng died, after he completed the task, he would have a scapegoat.

"Ergouzi, you take a few scouts to see, what's going on?" Xu Lei is a serious way.

"No!"

Several of Cao's scouts quickly made their way to the hall, but they soon returned, bringing back a man in Cao's uniform.

"Who are you?"

"Returning to the captain, the younger one is the captain under the command of Captain Zhang, Xu Dagou!"

"Say, what the hell is going on in your department? What about Zhang Feng? Why did you fight with the soldiers and horses in the city? Xu Lei's eyes narrowed, and there was a cold light brewing, and said: "The lord has repeatedly resigned five orders, at any time, you must not clash with the soldiers and horses in the city, if you and others spoil the lord's affairs, a certain family can be merciless." ”

"Lord Captain, wronged, this matter doesn't matter to us, it was Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses who suddenly rebelled, they have killed our captain Zhang Feng, and now they are besieging and killing our sons and daughters not far ahead, asking your Excellency to send troops to rescue."

The man crawled up to Xu Lei, crying and reporting at the same time.

"What, Zhang Feng is dead?" Xu Lei was surprised.

"Our captain accepted Yang Feng's military camp, but was cut off by a Yang Feng's officer in front of everyone."

"It's true!"

"The villain's words are true!"

"Sons, Yang Dong and the others are both in rebellion, and they will inevitably hold the Son of Heaven hostage, the lord is here to welcome the Son of Heaven this time, we must protect the Son of Heaven to the death, we will rescue our brothers and kill the thief army!"

Xu Lei was not ambiguous at all, and directly took the soldiers and horses and killed them.

"Kill!"

"They actually dared to kill the captain, brothers, kill them."

"Cao Jun deceived people too much, brothers, take weapons, kill them, kill one is to kill, two is also to kill, kill them all, and then rush out of Luoyang City!"

"Kill!"

"That one is the general, kill him!"

The battlefield was on a piece of ruins not far from the south city gate, this was originally Yang Feng's temporary military camp, and there were some simple camps on it, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were very sudden, and they even fought without knowing why.

But both sides are elite soldiers, after countless bloody battles, the vanguard of Cao Bing is naturally elite, and Yang Feng's soldiers and horses can escort the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang from Chang'an, which can be regarded as their elite soldiers who have experienced life and death.

"Brothers, don't fight, listen to me! Stop, stop, and now I command you all to stop. ”

Yang Feng came quickly, looking at this scene, he was a little stupid, he had red eyes and shouted loudly, but he could stop his soldiers and horses at most, and he couldn't command Cao Jun's soldiers and horses at all, and now Cao Jun even the biggest one is dead, and these little soldiers naturally want to take revenge, and they are all red-eyed.

"Damn, it's all stopped, you still come, Lao Tzu wants to ......"

"That's your general, not ours, kill our captain, we will naturally take revenge, sons, kill these bastards!"

When a soldier of Dong Cheng heard the order, he naturally stopped, but one of Cao Jun's soldiers directly stabbed him in the chest.

"We want revenge, kill, kill the thief army!"

"Kill these miscellaneous pieces of Cao Jun!"

One side does not stop, and the other party naturally can't stop and die, and now the men on the battlefield who have been involved in the battle are gradually killing red-eyed, and no one can stop.

"Stop, otherwise don't blame Ben for being ruthless!" Dong Cheng led the troops into the road with a shock.

"Kill!"

As soon as Xu Lei's 2,000 soldiers and horses joined, the scene became even more chaotic, even Dong Cheng couldn't suppress it, and in the face of casualties, he could only fight, and the weapons exchanged weapons, and the sound of shouting and killing was deafening, and it became a mess.

At this time, one wearing Dong Cheng's Xiliang Army uniform, two men wearing Cao Jun's military uniform, three figures in the snowflakes, galloping, like an afterimage, quickly rushed to the ruins palace in the middle.

"You remember, now that the movement has been made, at most one stick of incense, the Cao army outside the city will quickly enter the city, so we must use the time of one stick of incense to quickly fight and kill Liu Xie!"

Gao Forget looked at the two killers recruited from the rangers by the same Jinyi Guard, and said coldly.

"No!"

"If you miss and get caught, do you know what to do?" Gao Forget had a very thin sword in his hand, and the cold light was compelling: "The people of the Jinyi Guard Assassin Team have never been captured, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and nodded.

They were trained by the Jinyi Guard, and as an assassin, many of the most powerful were to kill others, but at the most critical time, to kill themselves.

"Go your separate ways, quick!"

"No!

Gao Forget's eyes looked at this ruined and broken palace, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he jumped and crossed the steps, like a ghost, and walked into an abandoned palace.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the Imperial Palace, a large hall that had been cleaned once, Liu Xie's figure sat on the ground that had been tidied up, and his face was a little gloomy.

In fact, he originally planned to go to quell the battle in the city in person, firstly, to establish prestige, and secondly, to win over the military power of Cao's army.

However, his move was opposed by the officials in the main hall.

The so-called hundred officials, now there are only about 20 left to follow him, these are the officials born in the Han Dynasty at present, they are all first-class officials on weekdays, and now they are all in distress.

After hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court still had many loyal ministers, who were able to go all the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an back to Luoyang. These ministers are all courtiers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they can be regarded as the last reliance of his Liu Xie.

Since he was completely opposed, he couldn't refute it, so he could only wait quietly in the main hall and wait for news.

"How's it going out there now?" Liu Xie raised his head, looked at a guard, and asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, Cao Bing's attack is so fierce that even General Yang Feng can't suppress it." A scout whispered: "Now all the guards of the palace are basically deployed, and He Cao's army is fighting!" ”

"What!"

Liu Xie was suddenly taken aback, and sighed: "Yang Feng Dong Cheng is confused!" ”

"Your Majesty, they are all stable people for the second day, I'm afraid there is something else in this matter." An old minister reminded in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

Liu Xie groaned, stood up, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, you are a body of ten thousand gold, how can you take risks, General Yang and Dong Guozhang will definitely be able to deal with this matter." A minister came out and said respectfully, his name is Fu Wan, he is Liu Xie's father-in-law, the current queen's son, and one of Liu Xie's dependents.

The Fu family is also a big family in the world, and the Fu family has put everything on top of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

"I'm afraid there is something else hidden in this matter, I am afraid that this matter will make Cao Mengde have a grudge against us, and I should come forward for the sake of courtesy." Liu Xie said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, now that Cao Cao has been so presumptuous, I'm afraid that he will make trouble in this matter!" Someone has a gloomy way.

Although they are a group of down-and-out ministers, they are basically high-ranking and powerful back then, and they were originally unhappy with Cao Cao, a eunuch, but now Cao Cao is above them, which makes them even more resentful.

"I know, but now that we have to rely on Cao Mengde, at this moment, Chang'an is eyeing us, and it is not appropriate to fall out with Cao Mengde!"

A cold light flashed in Liu Xie's eyes, but he shook his head and said calmly: "I'll wait to go and see, what's going on?" Let's also see if Cao Mengde is loyal or has other intentions."

"No!"

When more than 20 ministers heard this, they nodded hurriedly and said respectfully.

"Let's go!"

Now that they were down, the clothes on their bodies were all sent by Cao Cao, and there was not even a carriage, so Liu Xie had no choice but to lead the group out of this hall, stepping on snowflakes, and began to move towards the direction of the battlefield in the city step by step.

"Majesty, be careful!"

Walking to a corner, Liu Xie suddenly felt a little cold, the old eunuch's face changed suddenly, and he saw a cold sword light in the corner of his eye, coming towards Liu Xie.

At this moment, the breath of the old eunuch's whole body exploded, wisps of qi exploded, and the Buddha dust in his hand was scattered, pushing the tip of the sword that came from the attack off.

Click!

However, this sharp and thin long sword came too fast, and the sword was still inserted into Liu Xie's arm, penetrating his waist, blood flowed like a spring, and Liu Xie's body was weak and fell.

"There's an assassin, come on!"

Everyone was shocked by this touch, and their hearts were very shocked, and they shouted loudly one by one.

It's a pity that now the only soldiers and horses they have are all led by Xu Lei on the battlefield of Nancheng, and there are less than twenty guards around them.

"I didn't expect Liu Xie to have such a master by his side, Cao Gong has an order, Liu Xie's position is not justified, but it is a former national thief Dong Zhuo's henchmen, and he should be killed to sacrifice the spirit of the young emperor in the sky!"

Dressed in the yellow military robe of the Xiliang Army, the slender body of this assassin just stood there, exuding a thick murderous aura, which made everyone's hearts chill involuntarily.

"You were sent by Cao Cao?" One of the ministers stared at the assassin with wide eyes.

"Kill!"

The assassin's answer was firm, and a sword slashed through it, sending the head to the ground.

"Stop him for me!" The remaining guards rushed straight forward.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, two more assassins came out, striking left and right, like a bamboo, only twenty guards, in the swordsmanship of the two, they could not be defeated.

"Quick, escort His Majesty into the main hall!" The old eunuch snorted and said.

"Quickly carry His Majesty into the main hall!"

These ministers have all experienced countless turmoil, and they quickly calmed down, reacted very quickly, and immediately separated a few people, hugged Liu Xie in their hands, and retreated to the back.

"Where to go!"

The assassin Gao Forget followed closely behind, and the long sword struck left and right, with a murderous and cold aura: "Liu Xie will die today!" ”

"Who are you?" The old eunuch quietly blocked in front of him, the Buddha dust in his hand rotated gently, and a sharp weapon emerged from the Buddha dust, looking hideous.

"Die!" Gao Forget didn't say a word, the sword qi slashed, raised pieces of snowflakes, and rushed directly over.

"If you assassinate Your Majesty, you deserve death, and you should be punished by the Nine Clans!" The sharp weapon in the old eunuch's hand was very short, but it was very flexible, and it kept flying around the long sword of Gao Wang.

"Old guy, if you have the realm of Lian Gang, you can still stop me today, but you have no chance, die!" Everyone's martial arts realm is almost the same, but Gao Wang's swordsmanship is getting faster and faster, like lightning slashing through the void, sharp and tricky, and the old eunuch is old after all, his blood is insufficient, and there are more and more wounds on his body.

"Thief, even if the old slave dies today, he won't let you hurt His Majesty." The old eunuch's face was hideous, and the sharp weapon in his hand did not care about his own safety at all, and changed to a life-for-life fighting style.

"An old thing, who still wants to hinder the lord's plan, die!"

Gao Forget is calm and calm, the sword has never returned, not only has his skills improved a lot in recent years, but also under the guidance of Wang Yue's intentional or unintentional guidance, the two factions of Zhang Rang and Wang Yue, who are integrated, have become more and more mysterious.

"Spirit Snake Flash!"

A sword slashed, like a void spirit snake, unable to see the direction of the attack, unable to prevent it, the old eunuch's chest had a small scar, and after half a sound, he felt the blood surge wildly.

"This is, Zhang Rang's martial arts, who are you Zhang Rang?" The old eunuch's sharp weapon fell to the ground, and the whole person fell, hanging his last breath, looking at the assassin with a somewhat stranded gaze, and asked in a cold voice.

"Yoshiko Moth!" Gao Forget said lightly.

"I see!"

The old eunuch's eyes were silently pressed, and there was a sudden smile on his face, he had been running around with Liu Xiedong all these years, and he was already tired: "Your Majesty, the old slave will go to explore the way for you first." ”

"Your Majesty, Gong Cao let you die for the third watch, and you can't stay for the fifth watch!"

Without the old eunuch's obstruction, the rest of the people were not the opponents of Gao Wang's three at all, the three of them were like bamboos, and forcibly entered the palace, and one by one the guards fell under the swords of several of them, and in the end, only the less than twenty civil officials were left to protect Liu Xie.

"Get out of the way!" Gao Forget let out a loud shout and kicked a minister away.

"Dog thief, you can't wait to die!" A very temperamental civil official, said loudly: "If you want to kill Your Majesty, kill us first!" “

"Kill!"

The three of them looked indifferent, and directly took out their swords, and the swordsmanship cooperated, and they killed directly.

"You are not Cao Cao's person, if Cao Cao wants to kill me, don't be so troublesome, say, where are you?"

Liu Xie watched as he fell one by one, he stood up forcibly with his injured body, looked at the three assassins, and said coldly: "I'm not stupid, you can't fool me, let's say, who is it that wants my life?" ”

"Your Majesty, you're thinking too much."

Gao Wang's eyes swept with a touch of murderous intent, his figure flickered, the sword was like lightning, and Liu Xie's chest, which was directly sent in, pierced his heart bit by bit, penetrating through his back.

"Say, who wants to ...... Kill...... I! ”

Liu Xie felt that his strength was passing little by little, his consciousness was becoming more and more confused, his eyes were flowing with a very unwilling light, and his hands grabbed Gao Wang's hands fiercely: "I am the Son of Heaven, even if I die, I must know who killed me!" ”

"You're too much of a hindrance, only when you die, can my lord be rightfully the son of heaven?" Gao Forget looked at the persistence on Liu Xie's face, his mind moved, the corners of his mouth were in Liu Xie's ear, and he whispered.

"Name...... Correct...... Speech...... Shun? ”

Liu Xie knew that he was going to die, but his hatred was still flowing wildly, he gritted his teeth, still held his breath, and asked, "Is it Liu Biao of Jingzhou...... Still is...... Yizhou Liu Zhang? ”

As soon as he dies, even if his vein is broken, the bloodlines of the other branches of the Liu family are qualified to sit on the throne, but those who have the strength to sit on this throne only have the princes of the two major Liu family bloodlines in the world.

"Guess!"

Gao Forget pulled out the long sword, with a touch of intense satisfaction in his heart, looked at the two left and right hands, and said loudly: "Let's withdraw!" ”

"Your accent is from Jingzhou, yes...... Be...... Liu Biao? ”

Liu Xie was lying on the ground, bleeding like a spring, his eyes were pressed bit by bit, and the last thing this world left him with was the burned black ceiling of the hall

The last emperor of the Han Dynasty died in obscurity in this ruined palace.

――――――――――――――

Outside the city, Cao's army camp.

Cao Cao sat in armor and rode a big horse, in a good mood and with a smile on his face, he gathered all the soldiers and horses, gathered at the east city gate, and waited for the Son of Heaven to come out.

As long as he returns to Xudu, it will be his decision in the future, he is loyal to the Han, but he knows that only hegemony can support the Han to stand up again.

"Lord, it's not good, there's a fight in the city!" A scout Pegasus newspaper.

"What?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and he asked loudly, "What's going on?" ”

"Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses have rebelled, and now they have killed one of our captains who went into the city, Zhang Feng, and Captain Xu Lei is leading troops to resist!"

The scout said respectfully.

"Lord, I'm afraid things have changed, go into the city immediately!" At Cao Cao's side was Guo Jia.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhi are Cao Cao's two most trusted strategists, not only because of their talents, but also because they are from a humble family, without worry, and dedicated to him.

Xi Zhicai was in Xudu to watch his family, while Guo Jia was with the army.

"All obey the order, the Chinese army will enter the city immediately, and the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings will immediately give it to me, and the city will be surrounded, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave!"

"No!"

Cao Cao rode his horse and galloped away, taking the lead in the Chinese army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and entered the city.
