Chapter Seventy-Six: After the Fact

I don't know when Yuan Jian found that there were fewer and fewer people around him.

First of all, Yuan Xiu and Yuan Bao Torch, who came up with the idea of searching for the family members of the forbidden army, disappeared, and Hu Sichun outside the city never joined him, and even Yuan Xin also did not know where to go after telling him to burn the attic.

Seeing that his subordinates were killed by the royal palace soldiers led by Er Zhu Ying'e, Yuan Jian finally recognized the reality, and in a panic, he hurriedly led dozens of henchmen to step on the human ladder and walk over the wall.

was about to look for his frame, but saw Yuan Xin leading people to snatch horses.

Yuan Jian hurriedly shouted:

"King Guangling, wait for me."

Yuan Xin turned his head to glance, but his movements became even faster.

Finally, before Yuan Jian arrived, he seized all the horses outside the mansion and fled in panic, leaving only Yuan Jian to eat ashes behind him.

Yuan Xin escaped not far away, and when he was congratulating himself for his quick action, he met Lou Zhao and a hundred armor soldiers.

Lou Zhao shouted:

"Good thief! I kind of bumped into you! ”

Yuan Xin was frightened, and when life and death were at stake, he suddenly had an idea, he pointed behind him, and shouted at Lou Zhao:

"Xin is just a rebellion, King Qinghe is the culprit, why does Lou Lingjun abandon the great merit, but make it difficult for me."

With that, he turned his horse's head and ran to the side alley.

Lou Zhao looked in the direction that Yuan Xin was pointing, and sure enough, he saw Yuan Yan who was looking up in the distance, but immediately turned around and fled.

"Why did King Qinghe leave in a hurry!"

With a plan in his heart, Lou Zhaolang laughed loudly, he really took the lead and chased straight after Yuan Yan.

With Yuan Yan attracting Lou Zhao's attention, Yuan Xin was able to get out.

In Gao Qian's mansion, after Yuan Jian fled, all the birds and beasts under his command were scattered, and Erzhu Ying'e easily broke the siege.

Li Yuanzhong bowed deeply and said with emotion:

"Today's matter, thanks to His Highness's efforts to turn the tide, otherwise I really don't know what the consequences would be."

Gao Qian also saluted and thanked:

"If it weren't for His Highness's rescue, I'm afraid that it has become charcoal, and I don't thank you for my great kindness, if I am driven in the future, but please ask Your Highness to command."

Erzhu Ying'e hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said with a smile:

"I am the daughter-in-law of the Gao family, and I should contribute to the Gao family, and the two gentlemen must not break the concubine."

Gao Longzhi's relatives were even more grateful, if it weren't for Er Zhu Ying'e appearing in time, they would have become the souls of Gao Qian and Li Yuanzhong.

Er Zhu Ying'e was worried about the resurgence of the rebellion, so she hurriedly led everyone to the Bohai Palace.

Lou Zhao is respected and praised as the best bow horse in the world, which may have an element of boasting, but after all, he is famous for riding and shooting.

He counted arrows and shot at the slaves around Yuan Yan, and gradually, the slaves also found it too dangerous to stay by Yuan Yan's side, and they scattered and fled, lest they be in the same direction as Yuan Yan.

Lou Zhao sent a group of people to arrest him, and he led the rest of the people to run away with Yuan Yan, teasing him like an old cat catching a mouse.

Yuan Jian didn't want to continue to be teased, he stopped, panted and said:

"Lou Lingjun wants to capture and kill, you can do it, but please remember that you are still in-laws in the two families, and don't play Yu Gu again."

Lou Zhao said hatefully:

"When you rebelled and wanted to kill me, did you ever think about this friendship!"

Yuan Yan was silent when he heard this, but he refused to run away anymore, so Lou Zhao ordered someone to tie him up.

Finally, Yuan Jian still entered Miyagi, but the way was a little different from his expectations.

Lou Zhao rode on a horse, holding a rope in his hand, and at the other end of the rope was Yuan Yan, who was staggering.

Yuan Jian often went in and out of the palace, and the soldiers of the forbidden army all recognized this face, and when they saw that the thief was captured, they no longer dared to have any other thoughts.

Lou Zhao ordered his cronies to detain Yuan Yan in a side room, and did not allow others to come to visit, intending to wait for Cheng Binggaohuan to deal with it.

Chen Yuankang took the opportunity to suggest:

"Now that the thief has been captured, the hearts of the soldiers have not been repeated, and the general should immediately lead the forbidden army out of the palace to search for the remnants of the thieves in the city."

"What Mr. Chen said is very true."

Lou Zhao did as he said.

To the west of Luoyang, Yuan Xin galloped on horseback, and today's plan is only to run south to Xiaoliang and west to enter the Guanzhong two ways out.

Xiao Liang was far away, and Yuan Xin finally chose the place of Kansai, which was close at hand.

The grudge between He Bayue and Gao Huan is well known, and maybe he can be the son of heaven in Guanzhong this time when he travels west.

What Yuan Xin didn't know was that someone had already rushed ahead of him and rushed to Kansai.

Yuan Xiu offered a plan to let Yuan Kang search for the family members of the forbidden army, but he took the opportunity to scavenge the horses, escaped from the city with his family and slaves, and met the Yuan Bao Torch with the same idea in the middle of the road, and the two hit it off and walked together.

There are still more than ten miles away from Tongguan, there is a sound of horses' hooves shaking in the northeast, Yuan Xiu and others looked in panic, only to see a young man galloping on two horses, and there were hundreds of horsemen chasing behind him.

The leader was Peng Le, the general under Gao Huan, and the outlaw took the initiative to ask He Bayue to envoy Yuwentai in Jinyang.

Yuwentai and Gao Cheng's itinerary is just staggered, Gao Cheng led the army south in the morning, and Yuwentai entered Jinyang at noon.

After some conversation, Yuwentai's talent was valued by Gao Huan, and he wanted to keep him by his side, but Yuwentai politely refused.

Sensing that Jinyang was not suitable for staying for a long time, Yuwentai hurriedly led the two horses and said goodbye.

When Gao Huan learned about it, he immediately ordered Peng Le to lead a light cavalry to chase him.

Yuwentai happened to meet Yuan Xiu and Yuan Bao Torch.

Yuan Xiu and Yuan Baoju thought that they were chasing him, so they hurriedly beat their horses and galloped, and a carriage carrying their families behind them overturned, and they refused to look at it.

Fortunately, it was close to Tongguan, Peng Le didn't dare to chase deeply, and Yuan Xiu, Yuan Baoju and Yuwentai were able to enter the customs.

Peng Le led the cavalry to surround the overturned carriage, and the people in the carriage had already climbed out, looking embarrassed, all women and children, Peng Le shouted and asked:

"Whose family are you waiting for?"

The people were afraid to speak.

Peng Le pulled out his waist knife and threatened:

"I'll only ask one last time!"

At this time, a woman stood up:

"Please don't be angry, I am a member of the clan, and I am the sister of the king of Pingyang."

Peng Lexin said: It turned out to be the younger sister of Wang Yuanxiu in Pingyang.

Then he pointed to the rest of the people and asked:

"Who are they?"

"These are brothers, wives and concubines."

Peng Le pointed to the seven-year-old doll in the crowd again:

"He's Yuan Xiu's son?"

Yuan Xiu's sister Yuan Shi protected her nephew Yuan Guangji behind her, but still admitted it:

"As the general said, please also treat the general with courtesy, so as not to let others talk about King Gao."

Peng Le laughed and said:

"How can I bully you?"

In my heart, although I didn't catch Yuwentai, it wasn't for nothing, that Yuan Xiu ran west, and my wife and concubine were captured by me, and they were dedicated to King Gao, and they will be rewarded.

Peng Le asked Xiang Yuan again:

"Have you ever been married?"

Yuan was shocked, thinking that Peng Le was going to marry him, so he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Peng Le said angrily:

"Why don't you answer when I ask you!"

Yuan Shi trembled and said:

"Never, never married."

Peng Le suddenly became excited: This Yuan family is beautiful, but she is not a woman, and she doesn't know if she can meet King Gao's wishes.

turned his gaze to Yuan Xiu's wife and concubine, and reinvigorated his spirits: so many women, as long as someone enters the eyes of King Gao, how can they lose their own rewards.

immediately escorted Yuan Xiu's family back to Jinyang.

Soon after Peng Le left, Yuan Xin also passed through this place and entered the customs smoothly.

......

The first time Gao Cheng led the army on a trip, he fully practiced the teachings of his uncle Wei Digan, carefully selected the camp, and led the army slowly.

After passing through the White Horse City of Jinju, he met Chen Yuankang's messenger.

Knowing that Yuan Yan and other clans had hidden a group of people from Hu Sichun, Gao Cheng immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation and handed over the pawns, family members, and staff to Duan Shao.

With the assistance of Murong Shaozong and Hu Luguang, he gathered more than 700 horsemen and hurried south.

When he arrived outside Luoyang City, it was late at night the next day after the Luoyang Rebellion, and order had been restored in the city at this time, and the walls of the city were full of heads of people who took advantage of the chaos and looted.

Gao Cheng's heart sank, after all, it was too late.

He didn't know who was in control of Luoyang now, out of caution, Gao Cheng ordered the knight to come forward and call the door, identify himself, and let Lou Zhao go out of the city with him.

If Yuan Ji and the others succeeded, there would be no reason for Lou Zhao to live.

After a long time, Lou Zhao climbed the city tower and saw Gao Cheng at a glance with the torches outside the city.

"Ah Hui! Nothing in the city! ”

Gao Cheng didn't enter the door, he shouted loudly:

"Please also ask my uncle to go out of the city to talk."

Lou Zhao shook his head and sighed, he was really cautious and suspicious like his brother-in-law, but he still followed what Gao Cheng said, and went out of the city with him alone.

Gao Cheng put his mind at ease and asked about the situation in the city again, but Lou Zhao did not hide it, and told Gao Cheng what everyone had done.

Especially full of praise for Er Zhu Ying'e and Chen Yuankang.

Gao Cheng was very relieved when he heard this.

After returning home, he ordered someone to recruit Chen Yuankang and Yang Su to come, and he first talked to Er Zhu Ying'e.

When Chen Yuankang and Yang Su came to the door, Gao Cheng went to the lobby to meet him.

looked at the two of them carefully, and was glad that nothing was missing, but the shame on Yang Su's face attracted Gao Cheng's attention.

After praising Chen Yuankang, Gao Cheng asked Yang Su:

"Why is Zunyan depressed and seems to be depressed?"

"A servant is ashamed to trust the son."

Yang Su was full of remorse and told all the reasons.

It turned out that Yang Kuan had been arrested, and it was also learned from the rest of the population that Yang Kuan was a member of Yuan Kuan's party, and they heard the news from Yang Kuan for him.

Gao Cheng was silent for a long time, and invited Hu Luguang to whisper a few words, Hu Luguang took the order to retreat, and Gao Cheng said to Yang Su:

"Yang Kuan was secretly ordered by me, pretended to submit to Yuan Yan, and passed the news for me, and was deeply hated by Yuan Kan's Yu party, and was assassinated, and Yang Kuan's posthumous affairs were entrusted to Zunyan."

Yang Su knelt on the ground and kowtowed and cried:

"The son of the world loves it, although it is difficult to repay death!"

Gao Cheng sighed secretly, the reason why Yang Yu died in history was because he was not secret.

After Gao Yang's death, Lou Zhaojun, Gao Yan, and Gao Zhan controlled the military power of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Yang Yu planned to get rid of Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, but he told Gao Guiyan the news, and Gao Guiyan told the informant, so Gao Yan and Gao Zhan preemptively beheaded all the important ministers who participated in the plan.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng couldn't help but persuade:

"'If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body.'" Zunyan has read more than me, and he understands this truth, and he will definitely take this as a warning in the future. ”

That night, Yang Kuan was released, and he walked on the street in the moonlight, still thinking in his heart: I didn't expect Zunyan to be so valued by Gao Zihui, and this could also protect me.

Before he could go far, a hidden arrow shot from the back of Yang Kuan's head.
