Chapter 609: The Escaped Prince
Is there a secret passage in the palace? The answer is yes!
No emperor would believe that the palace is the safest place in the world, on the contrary, the palace has always been one of the most unsafe places in the world.
Therefore, it is completely reasonable that there are one or two secret passages hidden under the underground of the palace.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong dared to design and kill He Jin in the palace, the existence of the palace secret passage is also an important factor, otherwise, now the entire palace is surrounded by Dong Zhuo's army, no matter how you look at it, it is definitely a dead place, Zhang Rang is no matter how awesome he is, he will not think that relying on the flowery Yulin army can fight his way out of the encirclement, or relying on the eunuch team of Qian Shuo to be able to stick to Ding Yuan and Liu Bei outside the city to kill in the palace to rescue.
So, after killing He Jin, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others immediately converged with the Empress Dowager Dong and the Prince Xie, who had been prepared early, and held the sad and angry Empress He and the prince hostage, and hurriedly entered the secret passage.
The scope of Luoyang City is huge, and even if there is a secret passage, it is impossible to build a secret passage from the palace to the outside of the city, but it can be in the form of a relay.
The exit of the secret passage is just a very ordinary residential courtyard, and the people who have changed their clothes set off from here, load the important people in a carriage, and then rush to an inn near the north gate, where there will be another secret passage, and this secret passage leads directly to the outside of the city, as long as they go out of the city, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to find them again.
The city is now very chaotic, Guo Yan is wantonly searching and killing those so-called traitors, the private soldiers of the clan are desperately resisting, and the aliens in the city are divided into several camps to burn and loot everywhere, and at the same time fight each other, therefore. The streets were also unsafe, and Zhang Rang's convoy was attacked by several groups of strangers.
But Zhang Rang was able to bring the guards with him. Obviously, they weren't such a good guy, but fortunately they didn't run into Li Wei's troops who were attacking the palace from the north gate, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.
Let's not talk about this group of fugitive teams that are panicking like lost dogs, and let's talk about the palace that is now in full swing.
In front of the palace gate in the south, Dong Zhuo was already very impatient, and went directly into battle in person, and climbed to the top of the city in a round of charge. The battle was extremely tragic with flesh and blood flying on the city, and these soldiers of the Yulin Army knew that they had no way to retreat at all, but to die.
But even the soldiers of the Yulin Army have the consciousness of death. But it is not enough to fight by sacrificing one's life and forgetting to die. The absolute disparity in numbers and strength will ultimately dominate the outcome of the war.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Dong Zhuo's troops successfully took the city wall near the palace gate, and then raised the broken dragon stone to open the palace gate. As soon as the palace gate opened, the fierce ability of the Xiliang cavalry was immediately brought into play, and the Yulin army still wanted to rely on the roundabout terrain to resist, but under the rain of spears of the Xiliang cavalry and the cavalry's squad charge, it became a one-sided slaughter.
The resistance of the Yulin Army quickly collapsed. When Dong Zhuo killed the palace of the queen of the harem, Wu Kuang and the others had already broken the palace. killed no one in the palace, but from the people inside, the whereabouts of the crown prince and queen could not be found.
Seeing He Jin's body, Dong Zhuo got off the horse and cried in the corpse, which moved Wu Kuang and others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the general has a great favor to me, I don't know what you plan to do, I, Dong Zhuo, will not kill Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other dog thieves in this life, and I will not be a human being1
"Avenge the general, swear to kill the eunuch 1
"We are waiting for General Dong to be the head of the horse
"Okay, since everyone is of the same mind, and you will not give up, everyone will follow me to hunt down and kill the eunuchs, avenge the general, and protect the crown prince to ascend the throne1
"Avenge the general, swear to kill the eunuchs, and protect the crown prince from the throne1
Li Ru nodded frequently on the side, Dong Zhuo recovered He Jin's old department in a few words, and He Miao had been killed by Wu Kuang, and the reward he gave to Wu Kuang was worth it!
Li Ru subconsciously looked sideways at the palace of the Son of Heaven, which was decorated with white linen cloth, which was very conspicuous, but now, there was no one there, there were only corpses all over the ground, poor Son of Heaven, he had been abandoned by all the people of the world...... When Dong Zhuo was searching for eunuchs in the palace, Guan Yu and Lu Bu were hurrying towards Luoyang, they had received the news that the three gates of Luoyang were no longer guarded, and Dong Zhuo had transferred all the troops to attack the palace, which was a good time for them to seize the gate of Luoyang City.
Also got the news Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, as soon as these two people heard the news, they immediately urged the troops to speed up, although the march in the snow was never fast, but both of them knew that whoever rushed into Luoyang first would be able to take the initiative.
Dong Zhuo's main forces are shrinking, except for Guo Yan muddying the waters in the city, the city has temporarily become a vacuum, this is simply a feast for players!
It's anarchy now! So what are you waiting for, hurry up and grab it!
But anarchy does not mean godlessness! There's a big brain in the sky watching! Therefore, the city of Luoyang is not as bloody as outsiders imagine.
Dong Zhuo strictly ordered not to harass civilians, Guo Yan naturally did not dare to disobey, maybe some bold soldiers will do something unseemly, but then they will be marked as a chaotic army by the system, and they will be chased and killed by the system task, and the player really thought that he could be lawless at first, but when some of them attacked civilian homes and shops, they were immediately wanted by the system.
This makes the majority of players understand that the so-called anarchy is actually still managed, and players can attack the target who received the task, such as Yuan Kui's mansion, Tai Duanqi's mansion, etc., or attack the palace, Zhang Rangji's nephew's mansion, Tai Zhao Zhong's mansion, etc., or attack buildings such as the military camp of the cantonment station, and others who have not received the task can only attack anyone they see on the street.
Therefore, in tonight's riots, the unlucky ones are those who are proud of their power on weekdays, of course, the people in the families of these characters will inevitably arrive at the pond fish disaster as early as possible, in this troubled world, it is just a very common thing to be implicated, and there is nothing to complain about.
The city is full of fighting, not to mention between players, in addition to the palace in the city, it belongs to the battle of Yuan Kui's mansion is the most intense, because the important clans in Beijing have concentrated their own families and private soldiers to the Yuan family one step earlier, the Yuan family occupies a wide area, and it has been deliberately reinforced in case of emergency, so Guo Yan, who attacked the Yuan family, has not been able to succeed.
This is also to blame the Xiliang army has always been bad at attacking tough street battles, so the efficiency of the battle is extremely low, if Gao Shun comes, there are 10,000 elite infantry in hand, and it is absolutely easy to take down the entire Yuan family, even if there are more than 30,000 private soldiers gathered there.
Guo Yan also knew that his move was actually an idle move, mainly to contain these people and prevent them from participating in the attack on the palace, as for whether the lord really wanted to kill these old ministers, the military advisor had explained to them in private, and the unfamous ones could kill a few, and these important ministers could never be killed.
Of course, what you can't do is burning, killing and looting, after all, Luoyang will be the land of the Xiliang Army in the future, how can you burn your own home...... Dong Zhuo searched the entire palace but did not find an important person, not to mention the crown prince, the queen mother and others, and even the eunuchs such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were nowhere to be found.
Finally found an informed Zhonghuang Gate, learned that there was a secret passage under the palace, and then after a careful search, it was really because of the hurry in which they escaped, and leaked the location of the secret passage, Dong Zhuo immediately named Zhang Ji and Li Dao to chase separately, and ordered Xu Rong to clean up the order in the palace and prevent the soldiers from messing up the palace.
Immediately, Dong Zhuo led people out of the palace, stationed troops at the four gates of the inner city of the palace, and then called Hua Xiong and Li Ru, and gave a few orders in a low voice, and Li Ru and Hua Xiong also took the order.
Dong Zhuo himself led the elite cavalry to set up a formation in the square in front of the palace gate, on the one hand, to defend against those blind guys, and on the other hand, to wait for further news, so that he could attack and chase Zhang Rang and others at any time. At the same time, Dong Zhuo let people spread the news everywhere, saying that the eunuchs in the palace were in turmoil, ambushed the general He Jin and the general He Miao, and then Dong Zhuo avenged the general and entered the palace, and the eunuch had been eliminated, and the order in the palace was restored, and the prince and Queen He were fine, but the prince and the Empress Dowager Dong were held hostage by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others and escaped from the palace through the secret passage.
Subsequently, Dong Zhuo used the task system to issue a wanted Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to the vast number of strangers, and the task of rescuing the prince and Empress Dowager Dong.
In fact, don't look at Dong Zhuo now, he looks very calm now, but he is already very anxious in his heart, in case the prince and queen and others fall into the hands of others, Dong Zhuo's hard work will completely make wedding dresses for others, unless Dong Zhuo directly reverses it now, but in that case, Dong Zhuo will run to Luoyang City to sit in the city of sorrow, it is better to rebel in Xiliang and be a carefree emperor!
Just when Dong Zhuo was suffering from gains and losses like an ant on a hot pot, Xu Rong suddenly came out of the palace and whispered something in Dong Zhuo's ear.
"What, are you sure?"
Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, and vanity could clearly see the burning torches around him from his pupils, and the flames were beating vigorously, as if they were about to burn the entire heaven and earth together.
"It has been confirmed, many people know 1
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed!
"Yes, yes! Haha, God favors you! You have also made great achievements, and you will be rewarded! Haha "You are welcome to your support,!" ~!
