Chapter 15: Assassination

Zhang Rang gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Quick! Go and give orders to the nearby troops, assemble! Concentrate! Gotta stop them for me! ”

"In addition, hurry up to prepare for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and at the same time notify all places to come and escort! Those who have merit are crowned marquis! ”

Zhang Rang hurriedly said.

Enthronement ceremony?

Zhao Zhong looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said:

"Since the Yellow Turban Army is coming towards the capital, it proves that Liu Hong has encountered an accident."

"And even if he's not dead... As long as the new emperor ascends the throne, even if he doesn't die, he will die! ”

Zhang Rang's voice was extremely cold.

Zhao Zhong's face suddenly changed greatly.

"Zhang Rang, are you crazy?"

"If Liu Hong hadn't died, you really wanted to assassinate him!?"

Zhao Zhong didn't dare to say anything like that just now.

"I'm not crazy. This is our only chance, if we can't grasp it, do you think Liu Hong will let us go? ”

Zhang Rang sneered.

This is the closest they can get to the pinnacle of power.

As long as you can seize this opportunity.

What glory and wealth are not yet at your fingertips?

"This ......"

Zhao Zhong couldn't help but be a little moved.

In the end, he simply gritted his teeth.

Done!

If you hesitate, you will lose!

At that moment, Zhao Zhong turned around and went to do what Zhang Rang said just now.

But Zhang Rang turned his head to look at the palace maid behind him and smiled coldly.

The next moment.

A cold light flashed.

A pool of blood slowly flowed to his feet.

"Liu Hong... Whether you die or not, you have to die this time, otherwise we won't feel at ease..."

Zhang Rang muttered to himself, his expression was very ruthless.

Not much.

The news of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony quickly spread to all forces.

People such as Yuan Shao immediately decided to lead the army to set off.

As long as it is handled well, this is definitely a chance to soar.

The new emperor was young and weak.

This is the best opportunity to intervene in the core regime of the Han Dynasty.

Not only Yuan Shao, but other forces almost all sent troops at the same time.

However, only Dong Zhuo didn't know the news.

At this time, he was still on the way to Luoyang City with his army.

Speaking of... When Liu Hong left Luoyang City, he seemed to have forgotten Dong Zhuo.

I don't know what will happen next.

As time passed, the 300,000 troops led by Liu Hong were less than 20 miles away from the capital.

At this time in the capital, the enthronement ceremony was unfolding in a hurry.

However, no matter how simplified it is, the necessary steps are indispensable.

It will take at least two days to complete the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.

And Yuan Shao's army, which moved the fastest, also took three days to reach the capital.

Therefore, Zhang Rang and others gave the death order to the defenders of the capital.

Even if the whole army is annihilated, it will delay the 300,000 Yellow Turban army.

However, the capital was just a temporary patchwork nearby, and the 80,000 troops composed of each prime of life became the dead line of defense to guard the capital.

Zhang Rang was very suspicious, how could such an army be able to stop an army of 300,000?

The head of the capital.

Looking at the billowing smoke rising in the distance, Zhang Rang and the others were all embarrassed.

It would take at least three days for Yuan Shao's army to come.

But it was unknown whether the defenders in front of him would last three days.

"It's better for you and me to make plans earlier."

"After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will immediately lead people to kill him."

"As long as we can keep the little emperor, we can be invincible."

A regular attendant said in a deep voice.

The rest nodded their heads.

As soon as something went wrong, they immediately fled.

Soon.

The true face of the army of 300,000 was revealed to everyone.

It was really overwhelming, and the sound shook the sky.

The 80,000 soldiers defending the city couldn't help but clench the weapons in their hands.

However, at this moment, everyone found that the front army of the Yellow Turban Army was automatically divided into two columns.

Immediately after that, dozens of generals on straddle war horses walked out of it.

The person at the head is wearing an exclusive robe that symbolizes the emperor.

When Zhang Rang saw the person in charge, his eyes immediately froze.

Liu Hong!

He's still alive!

As if sensing Zhang Rang's gaze, Liu Hong, who was outside the city, looked up at his location.

Then he smiled coldly and stretched out his hand to make a neck-cutting motion.

It was this action that made Zhang Rang unable to help himself.

He found that his body was not obeying him.

How... How could it be...

Are you so scared of this guy!?

"Damn it!"

"Why is he still alive! Why! ”

Zhang Rang slammed his fist into the city wall, not caring even if blood was oozing.

The rest of the attendants also saw Liu Hong's figure, and their faces turned pale.

So it seems.

It wasn't the Yellow Turbans who captured him.

Rather, he subdued an army of 300,000.

Why?

Why?

Why did this waste suddenly become so powerful?

"It's over, we're defeated......"

Someone couldn't accept the reality, sat on the ground with a butt, and muttered in distraction.

"Sting!"

The sound of a long sword piercing into flesh suddenly sounded.

Zhang Rang suddenly pulled the long sword out of the opponent's chest and turned his head to look at Zhao Zhong.

"Zhao Zhong, gather all the dead soldiers, and when Liu Hong enters the city, kill him for me!"

Zhang Rang said coldly.

Now, there is no way back for him.

Only when Liu Hong dies can all his plans continue to be realized smoothly.

Liu Hong, Liu Hong.

If you die, don't blame me.

After all, if you don't die, it's me who will die.

Looking at the emperor Liu Hong outside the city, Zhang Rang couldn't wait for the other party to die immediately.

Not much.

The gates were wide open.

The ten permanent attendants Zhang Rang and others stood around the city gate.

They were greeted by hundreds of defenders.

"Ministers, see the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor on his triumphant return! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhang Rang and the others knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Liu Hong sneered.

"Zhang Changshi, are you very comfortable in these days when I am away?"

Liu Hongpi asked with a smile.

When the words came out, Zhang Rang immediately chuckled in his heart.

The meaning of the other party's words could not be more obvious.

Is this going to be a showdown?

Zhang Rang's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he gestured to the defenders behind him.

"Do it!"

Suddenly, Zhang let someone behind him yell.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of defenders unexpectedly showed their weapons and rushed towards Liu Hong.

However, before the assassin could take a few steps, he saw dozens of generals rushing out from behind Liu Hong.

"Escort!"

He Jin shouted violently, straddled his war horse, and overturned an assassin with one shot.

The other dozens of generals were also firmly in front of Liu Hong.

Hundreds of Assassins were killed in a matter of minutes.

"Zhang Chang Shi I had already guessed that you were going to do something to me, but I didn't expect that the means would be so crude."

"I'm so disappointed."

Liu Hong sneered and shook his head.

Just as he was about to continue talking, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his back.

Followed by.

Liu Hong's whole person flew out in an instant.

Slam it against the wall.

"Your Majesty!"

"Escort! Hurry up! ”

Seeing this, He Jin's complexion changed greatly, patted the war horse under his crotch, and quickly came to Liu Hong's side.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiao and the others also hurriedly disarmed the general who made the move.

However, Zhang Rang and others also shouted to escort the car.

The soldiers of the defenders not far away immediately rushed to the city gate.

The Yellow Turban Army and the defenders of the capital were entangled together.

Suddenly, the entire city gate was in chaos!
