Chapter Seventy-One: Liu Hong Is Not Dead
"General He Jin, what should we do next?"
Duan Xuan leaned over to He Jin and asked helplessly.
"What can I do... General Cao Cao, you lead the brave cavalry, and start from here to expand the search area. ”
"You must find out the emperor, even if it's ......"
He Jin was speechless.
He didn't know what would become of Liu Hong if the big man was gone.
"This..."
The generals were silent.
But they all know.
Once the news of Liu Hong's disappearance is transmitted, it will cause chaos in the world.
Even... The princes who came to take refuge in Chang'an City may have some other careful thoughts.
"You must return to Chang'an as soon as possible and make plans early!"
"But before that... We should start with one thing. ”
He Jin thought about it again and again, and then said his thoughts.
When everyone heard He Jin's thoughts, their faces changed greatly.
"General He Jin, are you serious?"
Duan Xuan couldn't help but ask.
The rest of the generals also looked extremely shocked.
He Jin's idea is a little too bold.
If only it had been before.
That's a great crime to kill your head!
He Jin brought it up, but he actually sent someone to pretend to be Liu Hong!
"No, General He Jin, this is ridiculous!"
"I don't agree either!"
"No, once the news is exposed, we are all going to be finished!"
Duan Xuan hurriedly shook his head and vetoed.
"General He Jin, we won the battle against the Huns this time, but the emperor didn't see anyone, do you think this is normal?"
"When the time comes, all over the world will come to congratulate, is it possible that we will send a fake emperor out?"
Hearing Duan Xuan's words, He Jin was immediately silent.
"That simmering general, in your opinion, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Duan Xuan thought for a while, and then said, "It's better for us to admit it directly." ”
"But before the news spreads, we must first purge the forces inside and outside Chang'an City."
"We can find out Liu Bei first."
"If something really happens to the emperor, then we ...... The only way to do this is to obey the emperor's will. ”
A look of worry flashed between Duan Xuan's eyebrows.
A few days later.
Chang'an City.
Dungeon.
"How's it going, is there any news?"
He Jin saw Duan Xuan coming out of the dungeon, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
But I saw that the other side was extremely gloomy.
"General He Jin, that Hun soldier has been recruited."
"Your Majesty... In the end, he lost too much blood and passed out on the horse's back, and he didn't know where he was taken. ”
"I'm afraid it's ......"
Duan Xuan wanted to speak and stopped.
Although He Jin had already been mentally prepared.
But when he heard the news, he still couldn't help but tremble.
The emperor really... He's dead?
"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”
"It must be that Hun soldier who didn't tell the truth!"
He Jin snatched the whip and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Duan Xuan.
"General He Jin, that Hun soldier is dead."
"Let's get rid of those restless forces first."
"In addition, I also found out about Liu Bei's actions, the other party and Chen Fan were kidnapped by the Southern Barbarians, and General Cao Cao had already taken Po Yong to ride to beg for thieves."
Duan Xuan said.
Then he reached out and patted He Jin on the shoulder.
Duan Xuan is the one who knows the relationship between He Jin and Liu Hong best.
Although the two are monarchs on the surface.
But in private, Liu Hong doesn't have an emperor's frame at all.
I drank wine with He Jin, fought together, and bled together.
can be called He Jin's friend of life and death.
Now I learned the news that Liu Hong might die.
The other party will inevitably feel grief.
And yet at this very moment.
A trembling figure appeared in the sight of the two.
"Zhang Tianjian, why are you here!"
He Jin and Duan Xuan hurriedly greeted him.
If Liu Hong was here, he would only be even more surprised.
Because Zhang Jiao was three points older than when he drove his own expedition to destroy the Huns.
Even those shrewd eyeballs have become cloudy.
He Jin Duan Xuan was also shocked when he saw the aging and unseemly Zhang Jiao.
"Zhang Tianjian, your body... How did it come to be like this? ”
He Jin couldn't help but ask.
He was a general who had fought against Zhang Yu at the beginning.
At that time, Zhang Jiao's powerful and majestic appearance He Jin still remembers.
It's just that now it doesn't look as good as the old man who takes a boat by the river.
Zhang Jiao waved his hand indifferently, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please don't worry about the two generals." ”
"When the emperor drove the expedition in person, I tried my best to change my life for the emperor, and I will not die."
"It's just that I calculated that after Liu Bei enters Chang'an, something bad will happen."
"But I don't know if this is coming from the inside or outside."
Zhang Jiao was out of breath after speaking.
Obviously, his body has also reached its limit.
"Two generals, I have leaked too many heavenly secrets, and I am afraid that my life will not be long."
"But please ask the two generals to burn me to ashes after I die, so as not to affect Chang'an City."
Zhang Jiao sighed slightly, and then left tremblingly on crutches.
Looking at each other's backs, Duan Xuan and He Jin were speechless for a while.
But after Zhang Jiao's words.
Their hanging hearts have been put down a lot.
Since the emperor can survive, he will definitely be able to return to Chang'an.
But before that.
Duan Xuan and He Jin want to eliminate all threats inside and outside Chang'an City.
And that night, there was blood all over the city inside and outside Chang'an.
Just one night.
He Jin and Duan Xuan killed thousands of restless people.
Among them, there are many forces that have taken refuge, or generals who have military power in the army.
Even the military power of Lu Bu and Wei Yan was taken away.
But because of the fear of Wei Yan's absence, no one was able to balance Lu Bu.
He Jin Duan Xuan did not drive the other party back to Jingzhou for the time being.
By the time dawn, the forces of the entire Chang'an City had already undergone a major reshuffle.
At the same time, He Jin and Duan Xuan secretly sent someone to inform Yuan Shang of the news of Liu Hong's disappearance.
Although they didn't want to tell each other about it.
But given that Liu Hong trusted Yuan Shang so much.
They eventually decided to take a gamble and tell each other what was really going on.
Inside the Yuan Shang camp.
"Report! Lord! There is a messenger letter in Chang'an City! ”
A soldier came to Yuan Shang's tent and spoke.
"Bring it in."
Yuan Shang motioned for the soldiers to come in, and when he saw the package in the other party's hand, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
A messenger to deliver a letter? And why did you send him a letter?
And since it's a message, how can it be a package?
Yuan Shang was a little incomprehensible for a while, and opened the package with some curiosity.
Then he saw a holy decree at a glance, and it was already a roll of bamboo slips.
Resisting the impulse in his heart, Yuan Shang took the lead in opening the bamboo slip.
However, when he saw the first line of the letter, his pupils suddenly constricted.
"Let's go out first, keep watch for me, no one can come in."
Yuan Shangqiang suppressed the shock in his heart and waved his hand to command.
"Yes!"
