Chapter 3 Luoyang

"Is that really what He Liuhun said?"

When Sun Teng traveled to Xihe County, the seat of Fenzhou Governance, Er Zhuzhao had actually learned the news of Luoyang, and followed the advice of his cousin Murong Shaozong to prepare to lead a light cavalry to seize Jinyang.

"If today's two remaining sons of the pillar are all young, not enough to be a big thing, after a few days of Zhu clan relatives, only the assassin Shi Haoyong, can continue the great cause, Gao Jinzhou, please assassinate the history do not hesitate."

Sun Teng's words were earnest.

"He Liuhun is a loyal person, he treats me sincerely, and he will not be disappointed."

Er Zhu Zhao was enthusiastic and forgot all about Er Zhurong's previous warnings.

Luoyang City.

Some time ago, Erzhu Rong's younger brother escaped from Luoyang Erzhu Shilong sent more than 1,000 cavalry to Luoyang City to cry and ask for Erzhurong's body.

Yuan Ziyou sent generals to lead 10,000 people out of the city to expel them, but they were killed.

It is difficult for Erzhu Shilong alone to deal with it, and how to resist when Fenzhou Erzhu Zhao, Guanzhong Erzhu Tianguang, Xuzhou Erzhu Zhongyuan and others arrive.

As a last resort, the prince born to Erzhu Ying'e, the daughter of Yuan Ziyou and Erzhu, is the crown prince, hoping to ease the contradictions:

Stop, stop, don't fight, don't fight.

I have already issued a pardon, why do you gang of murderers refuse to stop, look, the prince is the blood of your Erzhu family, I really won't liquidate you.

However, Yuan Ziyou's script was well written, but he met the people of the Erzhu clan who liked to play freely.

It is not without good news, Er Zhurong's general, He Batsheng, the governor of Wuchuan, who once guarded Zhongshan, was transferred to Luoyang to be monitored because of his great prestige among the people of Beizhen, and Gao Huan was also suspicious.

After Er Zhurong's death, He Batsheng did not flee, but chose to cling to Yuan Ziyou.

But that's all, and then, news from all sides came one after another, which made Yuan Ziyou completely panic.

Erzhu Zhao occupied Jinyang, inherited the remaining soldiers and horses, and threatened to go south to avenge Erzhurong.

On October 13, because the river bridge was destroyed, Erzhu Shilong crossed the river and retreated to the eldest son (Changzhi), passing through Jianzhou (Gaodu Town, Jincheng), because Jianzhou assassin Lu Xizhen was unwilling to open the city, Erzhu Shilong slaughtered the people in the city, and Lu Xizhen was the only one who fled early before the city was broken.

Soon Er Zhu Zhao led his troops south and joined Erzhu Shilong and Yinzhou (Longyaodong, Hebei) Assassin Shier Zhu Yusheng at the eldest son.

Erzhu Tianguang, who was dividing troops with Jingzhou (Jingchuan, Gansu) to assassinate Shi He Bayue to quell the chaos, after learning the news of Er Zhurong's death, immediately took the division and gathered troops in Guanzhong in Jingzhou, preparing to send troops to Luoyang.

On October 30, the Erzhu clan, who was in the eldest son, elected Erzhu Zhao, who succeeded the Jinyang army, as the leader, and respected Yuanye, the king of Changguang, as the son of heaven, and everyone in the Erzhu clan had their own rewards.

On the fifth day of November, Zhu Zhongyuan, the assassin of Xuzhou, raised troops to attack West Yanzhou (Cao County, Shandong).

Yuan Ziyou finally woke up and there was no possibility of reconciliation between himself and the Erzhu clan, and Gao Qian, the former minister of Yuanziyou's mansion, heard that Er Zhurong had been killed, and came to Luoyang to serve.

And Gao Qian's brother Gao Gao, known for his bravery, Er Zhurong was jealous, and ordered people to trap and imprison him in Jinyang, Er Zhurong entered Luo, and Gao Gao was transferred to Luoyang.

After the death of Er Zhurong, the Gao cadres and Gao brothers were able to meet, and Yuan Ziyou sent the Gao brothers back to Hebei to recruit the righteous Qin Wang.

He also issued an edict to the confidant general Zheng Xianhu and Xingtai Yang Yu to lead the troops to Huatai (Huaxian County, Henan) to conquer Er Zhu Zhongyuan.

After that, he ordered He Batsheng to lead the troops to support Zheng Xianhu.

What Yuan Ziyou didn't expect was that Zheng Xianhu, as a diehard loyalist of the imperial party, did not trust He Batsheng, an old general of Erzhurong, at all.

He Batsheng marched all the way to the slipway, but Zheng Xianhu did not allow his troops to enter the city to rest, causing He Batsheng to be defeated by Erzhu Zhongyuan.

He Batsheng had no choice but to surrender to Erzhu Zhongyuan and return to Erzhu's command.

In this regard, He Batsheng, who is ranked above Gao Huan, He Batyue, and Hou Jing, who is the first foreign general under Er Zhurong, no longer has the prestige he once had.

The city of the eldest son.

Sun Teng was once again ordered to be an envoy.

"General Qiyu, there are people in Jinzhou who are in turmoil, Gao Thorn Shi is busy quelling the rebellion, and he can't go south to avenge Tianzhu, and I ask the general for forgiveness, Gao Thorn Shi has a word, when the people are calmed down, he will definitely send troops for the general to drive."

After supporting Yuan Ye, Erzhu Zhao was named a general, and everyone in the Erzhu clan was regarded as the leader, it was when he was complacent, and now he heard that Gao Huan refused his proposal to jointly send troops to the south, although he was angry, but he did not hold a grudge:

"You go back and tell He Liuhun that I have a feeling in my dream that this battle will be won, and the reason why I invited him to send troops is just to thank him for his loyalty and plan to share his credit, since he wants to quell the chaos, I will no longer force it."

Sun Teng hurriedly thanked him.

Maybe it's a blessing from heaven.

On the first day of December, when Erzhu Zhao led the army to the north bank of the Yellow River, the water depth was not as deep as the horse's belly, and Erzhu Zhao quickly led the light horse to cross the river.

On the third day of December, the wind was strong, the sand and stones were all over the sky, and Erzhu Zhao's cavalry arrived outside the gate of Luoyang Palace at night, only to be discovered by the forbidden army, but the wind was too strong, and the leeward defenders could not shoot arrows, so they scattered and fled, and Erzhu Zhao led the troops into the palace calmly.

"Your Highness, good news, good news, the general has entered the palace, the Son of Heaven, no, Yuan Ziyou has been captured by the general."

Countless palace people flocked to the queen's bedroom to report to the queen Zhu Ying'e, who had been under house arrest for a long time.

When Erzhu Ying'e heard the news, she was overjoyed.

Since she learned that her father and younger brother were killed by Yuan Ziyou, she hated it to the core, and she was looking forward to her mother's family entering Beijing for revenge every day.

She stretched out her finger and tapped the fleshy cheek of the baby in her arms, and her eyes were full of love:

"Son, you're going to be the son of heaven."

A moment later, there was a sound of the collision of the armor, and Erzhu Ying'e looked out of the door, and sure enough, it was Erzhu Zhao who led the people to come.

Don't wait for Er Zhu Ying'e to greet her mother's family.

Erzhu Zhao snatched the baby in his arms.

The baby was awakened and cried.

Seeing Er Zhu Zhao's hideous face, Er Zhu Ying'e panicked:

"What are you going to do, give me the child quickly, give it back to me quickly!"

Erzhu Zhao shouted:

"Do you want to wait for him to avenge his father?"

"No, don't, I don't let him be the Son of Heaven, I only keep him by my side, I won't tell him who his father is, please, give the child back to me quickly."

Erzhu Zhao turned a deaf ear, and he lifted the baby above his head and threw it down.

"Ahh

Erzhu Ying'e's screams pierced the dome, and seeing her son being thrown to the ground, even crying was weak, Erzhu Ying'e's face was distorted, as if she was crazy, constantly impacting the blocking of Erzhu Zhao's generals, but she couldn't get close.

"Don't, don't hurt my child, please, let my child go, I'm my father's daughter, I'm the daughter of Taiyuan Wang Er Zhurong, you can't hurt my child."

Although Er Zhu Ying'e married Emperor Xiaoming Yuan Xu and Yuan Ziyou successively, she was not very old, and she was only sixteen years old.

When Er Zhurong was alive, she relied on her power and acted without scruples, and even said angrily: The Son of Heaven was originally established by my family, and my father could have established himself as the Son of Heaven at the beginning, even now, my father can also abolish the emperor and stand on his own.

When her father and brother were killed, she even thought that her relatives would abandon Yuan Ziyou and support a prince with the blood of the Erzhu clan.

never thought that the mother's family she had been thinking about for a long time would kill her child as soon as she entered the palace.

How can Zhu Ying'e accept this kind of gap.

"The Great General of Tianzhu was born because of this evil obstacle, and he was booby-trapped by Yuan Ziyou, since you are the daughter of Tianzhu, you should avenge Tianzhu."

After that, Erzhu Zhao ordered the baby to be killed by throwing his breath away.

No longer paying attention to Erzhu Ying'e, who was crying behind her, just gave a few words to the palace people in the dormitory:

"Take a good look at Ying'e, don't let her seek death."

led his henchmen away.

Leaving Er Zhu Ying'e, who cried dry tears and had a dull expression, muttered to herself:

"My child, my child ......"

Inside and outside the palace city of Luoyang, there were looting soldiers everywhere, and the firelight illuminated the entire Luoyang.

"General, now that Yuanzi has been captured, the foreign enemy has gone, and although Taifu (Er Zhu Shilong) and others are headed by the general, they are just succumbing to the general's strength, not sincere."

Liu Gui, a fellow Hun from the Xiurong clan of the Erzhu clan, found an opportunity to speak.

Erzhu Zhao is also worried about this:

"I don't know what Guizhen has to teach me?"

"Taifu has been in Luoyang for a long time, but he can't protect the Tianzhu general, why don't the generals use this as an excuse to make trouble and deter his people, no matter how lenient he is, he will definitely be convinced."

Liu Gui offered advice.

Er Zhu Zhao heard the great joy:

"Guizhen treats me loyally, he is a sincere person, I have Guizhen's help, why worry about the clan's restlessness!"

So when Erzhu Shilong entered the palace to meet him, Erzhu Zhao became angry, he drew his sword and shouted angrily:

"Taifu, you were ordered by Tianzhu to stay in Luoyang, widely spread your ears and eyes, and you should be well-informed, but when General Tianzhu was ambushed and killed in Mingguang Palace, where are you Zhu Shilong!"

Er Zhu Shilong was depressed in his heart: I reminded General Tianzhu several times, he didn't listen to me, what can you do, you Er Zhu Zhao just entered Luoyang, just take me to Liwei, forget who recommended you as the leader, who helped you enter Luoyang!

But now that he was pointed out by Jianfeng, Erzhu Shilong didn't dare to argue, and hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake.

Er Zhu Zhao saw that he was soft, so he withdrew his sword and said arrogantly.

"Humph! Let me spare you your life today, and there shall be no slackness in the future. ”

Erzhu Shilong thanked him, but he hid resentment in his heart.

Among the people behind Er Zhuzhao, the corners of Liu Gui's mouth were lightly raised, and his expression was quite playful, hidden in the corner.

Liu Gui is not only a beautiful person, he is still Gao Huan's hair.

Gao Huan turned his back on Ge Rong and defected to Er Zhurong, and it was because of Liu Gui's recommendation that he was summoned by Er Zhurong to show his talents, and was finally reused.

After Gao Huan left Jinzhou, he made a lot of money, and all the property obtained was handed over to Liu Gui, so that he could bribe Er Zhurong's cronies for himself, so that He Batsheng was recalled to Luoyang to monitor, but Gao Huan was able to stay in Jinzhou to lead the soldiers and horses.

When Sun Teng made the eldest son, he had conspired with Liu Gui, and today Liu Gui offered advice, which was a generous gift from Gao Huan to Er Zhu Zhao.

However, Er Zhu Zhao never imagined that in addition to Gao Huan, Yuan Ziyou also prepared a big gift for Er Zhu Zhao before he went south.

In order to gather the strength to resist the Erzhu clan, the dignified son of heaven actually issued an edict to the Hexi thief marshal, ordering him to attack the Erzhu clan's ancestral land of Beixiurong in order to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
