Liu Xie almost instinctively reflected, and quickly jumped up from the collapse. The childish face showed a frightened look, and the frightened eyes were fixed on the window door, and the heart was up and down. Lian Yue's escape made him like a frightened bird, and his heart was on the verge of collapse. The gorgeous pale gold dragon robe on his body was incomparably extravagant, but it intersected with his panicked expression, and it didn't look out of place.

Heavy footsteps and noises sounded outside the door, and the night sky was not calm. Suddenly there were countless torches in the air, shining as bright as day.

Liu Xie's face gradually turned pale, his fists clenched tightly, and cold sweat began to slowly emerge from his face.

There was a hurried knock on the door, and then someone shouted outside the door: "The emperor's big thing is not good, Li Xuan and Guo Yan's army is coming, and it is now less than ten miles away from the gate, and the emperor should leave quickly." There was a clear sense of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice. It can be seen that the situation is quite bad.

Liu Xie grabbed his scalp in pain and buried his head deep in his chest, feeling desperate and desolate in his heart. He was so noble that he was the son of today, but he was so depressed that he was like a lost dog and fled for his life. There are no more than a thousand soldiers, and there will be no more than a few. When will this be the end? But what can be done about it? Sometimes I really don't want to be this emperor.

A few people outside had seen the half-ring, but there was still no movement in the room, as if they were in a hurry, and forcibly rushed into the room. However, seeing that Liu Xie was still sitting on the collapse, he was just in a daze, and his heart was relieved, but fortunately, there was no accident in the saint. But it didn't matter so much, and several people quickly stepped forward and pulled up Emperor Xian to prepare to flee again.

Liu Xie raised his head slowly, his eyes were dull and dull. Numbly looked at the few people who broke through the door.

Taiwei Yang Biao, uncle Dong Cheng, prince Taifu Ma Yuechan and other important ministers of the Han family, their faces were vicissitudes, they were sad and angry, and their faces were bleak under the firelight. I have long hated the behavior of Li Xu and Guo Yan, and it has reached the point of no return. Among the crowd, only Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao was quite calm, his expression was slightly excited, and he took two steps forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Li Guo's thieves and horses are chasing, please move the dragon quickly." At present, Hongnong is too simmering, and the dog Yang Xiu has led people to meet the land, and he will arrive soon. ”

Mourning is greater than heart death, Liu Xie just nodded numbly, without any expression on his face, and the indifference was surprising.

For the first time, a strange feeling arose in everyone's hearts, is this the emperor who is timid, incompetent, and cowardly, and will only cry and shed tears whenever there is an incident? Why is it so calm, calm, and not nervous at all compared to the past? Is it stupid?

However, time could not allow them to think too much, the matter was imminent, everyone embraced the emperor, and in the night, they quickly retreated in the direction of Hongnong.

It's just that what no one knows is that Emperor Xian, who was considered cowardly and incompetent in history, began to slowly become strong and harmful from this moment on. This is something that no one expected. And he also worked hard for his short life in order to rejuvenate the Han family in Guangwu.

The horses whistled, the torches could not ignite the cold night sky, and the elongated overlapping countless figures slowly disappeared outside the lively and silent pass.

At the same time, Hongnong City.

In the post station in the city, the envoy placed by Yuan Shao, the head of the Hebei think tank, was frustrated, his eyelids were beating up and down, and he felt very depressed in his heart. It's as if something big is going to happen. But he couldn't grasp the lifeline, which made him uneasy, pacing back and forth.

Since Yuan Shaobing's bloodless blade in Jizhou, he has become the number one think tank in Yuan Shao's hands from Han Fu's hands, and has always been favored by Yuan Shao with a cool head, keen vision, and cautious mind.

This time, Yuan Shaoben sent Yingchuan Guo Tu to envoy Chang'an, Guo Tu was limited, and said Shao, thinking that the Han Dynasty Mausoleum was late, and it was not far away, if you want to prosper again, it is extremely difficult. And now the heroes in various places have states and counties, their ambitions are broad, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, and A is the number of vehicles. Although Yuan Shao was indecisive, he was undecided, and he was frustrated and bitterly admonished: "Welcoming the court today, the righteousness is also, and it is appropriate to plan at the right time, if you don't plan early, you will be the first to take the lead for others." The so-called power does not miss the opportunity, the merit is in the speed, and I hope that the general will plan it as soon as possible. ”

After frustration and analysis of the past and hardship, and then hard persuasion, Yuan Shao was finally moved, and saw that Gongsun Pingding said that it was feasible to wait, so he made up his mind to welcome the emperor in Yecheng. Then Shilling sent an envoy to Chang'an to lobby Emperor Liu Xie. Then he ordered the trial to lead the three armies and continue to besiege Yijing, preparing to uproot Gongsun Zhan's power in Youzhou. He interjected some people, diligently served the royal family, raised a large army into Chang'an, and welcomed the Son of Heaven to Yecheng.

The dim oil lamp wall in the room was swaying, and in the corner was an expensive screen of clouds and pine waves, reflecting countless long dark shadows, which were hazy and blurry. He sighed and knelt down in front of the desk again, looking at the glass of wine in contemplation. What went wrong? Studied but cannot comprehend. Once again, there was a faint but very irritating and unpleasant smell in the nose, mixed with bursts of sandalwood fragrance coming out of the Ding furnace, and the two smells were intertwined, making people feel very depressed.

Frustrated's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that this was the smell of pine oil. An extremely flammable oil extracted from plants.

But instead of getting excited, his face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and his eyes shone with a terrifying light. Under the light of the lights, it was bleak. He was a man of great wit, and he quickly figured out what had happened, and understood why he had had been so frightened since nightfall, and the smell of pine oil that came out of nowhere, it was clear that someone wanted to assassinate him.

When he understood what was going on, he rushed out of the door almost without any thought, and a cold blow came towards him, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. However, it was still a step too late, and the four sides outside suddenly seemed to break the darkness and silence, and at the same time began to turn dark red and agitated. Then soon the fire was in the sky, the smoke was thick, and the heat wave came in less than half a second, dissipating the cold air, and it became hotter and hotter, and the whole station was on fire.

Fu Zhu deserves to be the number one person under Yuan Shao, and he did not panic at such a critical moment, but calmly observed the surrounding situation.

The post station was in chaos up and down, and various voices were wafting back and forth in the air. The timid thought that his life was extinct here, and cried loudly for his father and mother, endlessly; With a little strength, he shook the water and prepared to put out the fire. More of a search for a living door, seeing that there is no fire there, ready to start running for their lives. In the post station of Nuoda, miscellaneous servants, girls, guards, etc., pierced back and forth, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The stout Han Meng had already led a dozen or so guards to quickly move closer to Fu Zhi, and protecting his safety was the biggest task and purpose of his trip.

Han Meng was also a step late, and several subordinates dressed as miscellaneous servants, in the panic of running, suddenly flashed a long sword in his arms, and the blade of the sword seemed to have eyes. Like a meteor, it is so fast that it is almost invisible to the naked eye. I only felt a cold light pass through the air.

The only personal guard on the side was extremely loyal, struggling to push away the frustration that had been stunned for a while, and the moment the sword entered his body, he roared and screamed extremely loudly: "There is an assassin......" The tragic sound was heard far away......

In the inn, Zhang Lang was hugging Yang Rong's plump and soft jade body on the collapse, and his spirit was surprisingly good. Although the night was very deep, there was no sleepiness at all.

Thinking of the ambitious Cao Ying, and the strong Yuan Shao, these two people, thinking about it with their toes, knew that they were pretending to be Li Yan's rebellion, driving the troops in, and commanding the world by coercing the Son of Heaven. So how to welcome the Son of Heaven one step ahead of them and go down to the south of the Yangtze River safely has become the most headache at present. Among them, if his army can go to Guanzhong in time at the end, it is equivalent to losing a strong military support, and it will become difficult.

Among the other warlords, Ma Teng, who is mysterious and unpredictable, seems to be an enemy and a friend, although he has formed an alliance with Zhang Ji, who lives in Chang'an and is eyeing each other, these two intend to compete for hegemony in Guanzhong, but they have no great experience with themselves. After Zhang Ji entered Chang'an from Shaanxi, he drove Emperor Liu Xie to Luoyang, and knew that he had little ambition for the emperor. But it's impossible to ignore their presence, and there's no guarantee that they'll stick to each other.

There is also Liu Biao, who has unknown intentions, although he is an ally, he is lukewarm and tasteless like boiled water. But once someone adds sugar and vinegar to it, then I don't know what it will taste. In the troubled times, Liu Biao was able to defeat the warlord Yuan Shu in Guanzhong, so that he withdrew from Nanyang, and later did not fall behind in the long-term confrontation with Cao Ying, and he did have excellent skills. Judging from the time and territory of his career, even if he is stupid, he will feel a trace of uneasiness from it. Jiangdong is flat, and the next step is either to go north out of Qingzhou, or to go west to Jingzhou. In the north, there are two warlords, Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, who are strong and have a large number of generals, and they are in a hurry for a while; Although there are Sun Ce and Liu Biao in the west, their strength is relatively weak. Sun Ce occupied part of the area south of Yuzhou, but the foundation was unstable, and the yellow turbans were clustered, which was not a big deal. As long as you send out your troops, you can be pacified. Then the next thing is to directly collide with Liu Biao's territory. Liu Biao is not a visionary person, and his subordinates Jing Yue and Jing Liang are even more Wang Zuozhi, who will definitely discover his ambitions, anticipate strategic dynamics, and guard against himself. In this way, it is even more difficult for him to move forward, and he must know that his army originally planned to take advantage of Jingzhou, and go out of Wuguan and then enter Chang'an. If Liu Biao turns his face around, then the army will be stopped in Jingzhou alive, not to mention supporting himself, whether he can exit Jingzhou safely is also a big problem.

The more Zhang Lang thought about it, the bigger his head became, not to mention the Shixie and Shiyi brothers in Jiaozhou; Zhang Lu, who still has no movement in the Meridian Valley of Bingtun; In the past, after pacifying Yangzhou, he must have felt a strong threat; Later, once there is a surprise attack, it will make the pass full of variables and confusing.

Hey, all of them are powerful separatist princes who occupy one side, and how they can get benefits from it is really difficult.

Zhang Lang has never been so worried as he is now, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Tian Feng and others are not around, and it is difficult to find someone to discuss.

Through the curtains, the crystal moon gently shone around the edge of the bed. There was only a light sound in the room, Yang Rong fell asleep comfortably in the crook of Zhang Lang's arm, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face, I believe it must have been a good dream.

It's all so harmonious and quiet.

"Tu, tu" There was a soft knock on the door, and then someone was heard deliberately lowering his voice: "Lord, lord." ”

Zhang Lang was confused for a while, Han Juzi came to call himself so late. Could something have happened? He replied softly, and looked at Yang Rong in his arms again, only to see her hands tightly wrapped around her body, muttering softly, and opening her hazy phoenix eyes at the same time. Zhang Lang gently took away her slender hand, then patted her charming face again, kissed her on the forehead, and then got out of bed.

opened the door, and the rough Han Juzi gave the master a courtesy, and then without waiting for Zhang Lang to ask questions, he said very excitedly: "Lord, the good news I just got, Yuan Shao's envoy was assassinated tonight, seriously injured, and his life and death are unknown. At such a critical moment, Yuan Shao folded the coach in front of the formation, which was a great opportunity to lose the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhang Lang was also startled, and hurriedly asked, "Is something really happening to Fu Zhu?" ”

Han Juzi also thought that Zhang Lang was very happy to get the news, but he didn't hear his somewhat changed voice, and once again affirmed his words.

That knew that Zhang Lang first fell into deep thought, and then his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. In the end, he said lightly: "I know, you go down." ”

Han Juzi looked at Zhang Lang a little strangely, but he still retreated obediently.

Zhang Lang closed the door, climbed to the top again, and passed one hand through Yang Rong's jade neck and hugged it in his arms. Yang Rong is also used to leaning in to make herself more comfortable. Zhang Lang opened his eyes and began to analyze the news brought by Han Juzi in his mind. As soon as I heard it, no matter if I was seriously injured or killed, it would be very beneficial for me to welcome the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River, so Yuan Shao's attitude towards this matter would not be known to the emperor, so even if Yuan Shao wanted to welcome the emperor to Yecheng, it was impossible. It also made itself temporarily less of a strong opponent on this issue.

But if you think about it deeply, if something happens at this juncture, there must be someone who wants to sabotage Yuan Shao's plan to welcome the emperor, so that he can succeed in his own conspiracy. So who will want to get their own interests and do this? Maarten? Unlikely; Zhang Ji? Definitely not; Zhang Lu? Not like that. Liu Biao? It's a bit of a problem. Cao Ying? Probably the largest surname.

But the problem is that with Cao Ying's wisdom and the ability of his subordinates to make such a stupid move, it is impossible for him to make such a stupid move at this time.

At this time, Yang Rong also woke up, and when she saw Zhang Lang's preoccupied appearance, she couldn't help but ask strangely, "What happened to my husband?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled bitterly and said what happened just now, and then told her his thoughts, when Guo Jia was away, only Yang Rong could help herself, in the end, she was also a special soldier before, and she understood some tactics and strategies.

Then he added his own analysis: "Think about which warlord gets the most benefit after the death of Fu Zhi, and you will know who did the good deeds!" ”

Yang Rong said interestingly: "Who does my husband think did it?" ”

Zhang Lang said: "If you die, you will benefit from me, Cao Ying, and maybe Liu Biao." ”

Delicate and lazy, with outstanding demeanor, it is said that women have a different flavor when they just wake up, and Yang Rong is even more so. I saw that she quickly sorted out some clues, and said suspiciously: "Husband, I don't think this is going to be done by Cao Ying." Although it was also of great help to him, with his determination to dedicate himself to the emperor, the duel was incomparable to Yuan Shao, and with his means, it was impossible to do such a stupid thing at this critical time. In this way, on the sensitive issue of welcoming Emperor Xian, is there still a war with Yuan Shao? ”

Zhang Lang said distressedly: "That's right, Cao Ying is the most suspicious, we thought about it, didn't he know?" ”

Sticking his face to Zhang Lang's chest, listening to his slow but strong heartbeat, he suddenly said coquettishly: "Husband, I wonder if someone wants to blame Cao Ying, and then make Cao Ying and Yuan Shao go to war, and get unknown benefits from it." ”

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, there is also this possibility." Let's think about who Cao Ying has an enmity with? After Cao Ying and Yuan Shao started the war, whoever was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, a cockroach catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind, it should be him. ”

Yang Rong snorted in understanding, suddenly sat up, revealing her delicate body with infinite scenery, looked at Zhang Lang with a smile on her delicate face, and said angrily: "Come to think of it, if Cao Ying and Yuan Shao really go to war, the person who gets the biggest benefit is your husband's Jiangdong power, could it be that you do good deeds?" Speaking of the back, Yang Rong couldn't help but giggle, because she knew it was impossible.

Zhang Lang didn't take it seriously, but when he heard this, the tiger's body shook violently, and his mind suddenly seemed to capture something, his face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he had no time to take care of Yang Rong's beautiful body, and he was horrified. If that's what you think, then the situation is really going to be broken.;
