Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14 Burning the Palace Gate
In the main hall of the imperial palace, Emperor Ling was sitting in the middle, showing no signs of panic. He Jin had already drawn his sword, and was guarding in front of the hall with all the military officers, watching the front.Qingliu looked filled with righteous indignation, but Yuan Kai and others were the most unbearable, their faces pale with fright.It's just that seeing that Emperor Ling is as immobile as a mountain, it's not easy for him to move around.Yuan Kai glanced at Zhang Rang, saw that Zhang Rang looked confident at this time, and thought that this eunuch was a bit courageous, and he couldn't lose to this eunuch, thinking of this, he also straightened his back.

In fact, Lingdi and Zhang Rang are not confident, but there are secret ways in the palace. As the emperor, Lingdi naturally knows the secret way, and Zhang Rang, as the head of eunuchs, has served the emperor for many years. Zhang Rang also knew the location, so these two people were not in a hurry, at worst, they just hid in the secret passage!

Outside the palace gate.

Ma Yuanyi had already wrapped up the wound.At this time, he is directing the believers to compete for the Urn City.Seeing that he could not attack for a long time, Ma Yuanyi was very angry.At this time, Ma Yuanyi also made great efforts, and personally led the people to rush up.

In the Wengcheng, more than half of the guards were dead or injured, and they were about to be overwhelmed.

"My lord, we won't last long if this goes on!" the subordinate reported to Zhi Jinwu.

"Nonsense, of course I know, brothers hold on! Damn, why haven't the reinforcements come! What are the [-] Yulin soldiers outside the city doing?" Jin Wu tuned up.

At this time, Jian Shuo had already arrived outside the south gate with 1 people. Seeing that the city gate was closed, Jian Shuo went up to call for the gate.

"I am Captain Jian Shuo, open the city gate quickly!"

But Captain Nanmen had just received news from Captain Ximen that Jian Shuo had rebelled, so how dare he open the city gate.Then he shouted from the top of the tower: "Jian Shuo, what do you want to do with your troops into the city? Do you want to rebel!"

"Stop talking nonsense, I Jian Shuo is loyal to His Majesty, and the world can learn from it. I am going to catch the traitor!" Jian Shuo shouted.

Colonel Nanmen hesitated. Jian Shuo was the most loyal to Emperor Ling. Everyone in the court knew that Jian Shuo had rebelled. I feel that I would rather believe in what I have than believe in nothing, and dare not open the gate of the city even if I say anything.

……

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, Zhang De knew that once the Wengcheng fell and the bandits broke in, these guards would be even more unable to stop them. Now he could only rely on the Wengcheng to deal with the enemy.Zhang De suddenly saw the lanterns hanging on both sides of the road in the palace, and he had a flash of inspiration, and immediately ordered one of his soldiers: "You immediately bring a few people to collect all the lanterns!" Then he ordered his men to find the usual lanterns. Oil, and I took people to find flammable things, and found everything that could be burned.

Zhang De's men were all cavalry, and they moved quickly. They found a lot in a short time. Zhang De immediately ordered people to pile up in front of the gate of the Wengcheng City.

After a while everyone closed the door, the people from Taiping Dao really couldn't rush in, and of course they couldn't get out, but those guards in the urn city were besieged and killed by several times of Taiping Taoists!

The guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang De hurriedly ordered people to look for flammable objects. Once the fire was extinguished, Taipingdao would rush in!
A moment later, in the hall.Emperor Ling already knew that Zhang De had sealed the palace gate with fire.

"Who is this piece of virtue? He's so clever, he came up with such a good idea!" Lingdi asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this piece of virtue is the new adoptive son of the old slave. The old slave originally asked him to search Fengxuan and Xu Feng's mansions. He presumably came to escort him because he saw changes in the palace." Zhang Rang felt in his heart at this time. Not to mention how beautiful it is.

"Let the father's adopted son, good! You must reward the repelled bandits. Someone, send an order to quickly find flammable objects and send them to Zhang De!" Lingdi was much more relaxed at this time.

At this time Zhang De was directing people to throw things into the fire.What screens, curtains.Everything that can be burned is thrown in.

"You, hurry up and get some more oil, no matter what kind of oil it is, go to the kitchen to get some fat!"

"Oh, don't throw such a big screen whole, chop it up and burn it!"

"You, don't just hold the clothes, throw them into the fire! What, do you have a bellyband? You can leave the bellyband and throw the rest in!"

"Why is it so smelly? Damn, who put the toilet in the fire!"

……

Jian Shuo was outside the south gate, looking at the smoke rising from the direction of the palace, thinking that something was wrong, maybe there was something wrong with the palace, and immediately shouted to the captain of the south gate: "Look, sir, there is smoke rising from the direction of the palace. There is a change in the palace, quickly open the city gate, I will rescue you!"

Captain Nanmen looked in the direction of the palace, and sure enough there was smoke rising. If Jian Shuo really came to rescue him, but because he didn't let him go and caused His Majesty to suffer some kind of injury, not only himself, but also his family would be in bad luck. How can this be good!
Seeing Nanmen Xiaowei hesitate, Jian Shuo shouted: "Master Xiaowei, the country is the most important thing in everything. If something really happens to Your Majesty, I will be in chaos!"

Nanmen Xiaowei thought for a moment, then turned cruel, and said to his subordinates: "Come here, open the city gate and let Mr. Jian Shuo in!"

……

Seeing that the raging fire blocked the way to enter the palace, Ma Yuanyi knew that today's major event was over, and all the believers also wanted to retreat.Ma Yuanyi thought to himself, I'm afraid it's not going to work today, so I better run, if the imperial reinforcements arrive, it will be bad!So he led people to rush towards Ximen. After all, Captain Ximen is one of his own. As long as he reaches Ximen, he can rush out of Luoyang, leaving the green hills behind without fear of no firewood.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes. Not long after I left, I saw a group of people blocking the way.The leader was wearing a golden armor and looked quite heroic. When he saw Ma Yuanyi, he shouted: "Where are the thieves going? Yuan Benchu ​​is here. Why don't you get off your horse and die!"

Yuan Shao originally led people to arrest officials related to the Taiping Dao. He happened to see many people running from the direction of the palace. Yuan Shao ordered people to stop a few people. After asking, he found out that there were a large number of rebels besieging the palace. Yuan Shao was shocked Out of a cold sweat!
Chunyu Qiong next to him said: "At the beginning, the rebels besieged the palace, let's go and rescue him!"

But Han Juzi, Yuan Shao's deputy, said: "General, the enemy's situation is unknown now. The so-called know yourself and the enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. I think you should send someone to find out how many rebels there are. It's not too late to act!"

Chun Yuqiong said: "That's not okay, now I'm going to rescue you, if your Majesty is injured a moment later, can you afford it?"

Han Juzi said: "General Chunyu's words are wrong. The palace is heavily guarded. It will not be so easy to break through in a while. Let's find out the situation first and then make plans!"

Yuan Shao was indecisive, and when he heard that what these two people said made sense, he hesitated, not knowing what to do.It wasn't until Zhang De set fire to the palace gate, and Yuan Shao saw gunpowder smoke rising from the direction of the palace, that he really became anxious, and hurriedly led people towards the palace.He happened to meet Ma Yuanyi who was fleeing.

When Ma Yuanyi saw Yuan Shao obstructing him, he cried out in displeasure, and ran away with the horse. At this moment, a general appeared beside Yuan Shao.Ma Yuanyi raised the saber to block it, but forgot that his right arm was injured by Zhang De, so he couldn't use his strength, so he couldn't raise the saber, and was cut in half by Chunyu Qiong.

Chunyuqiong picked up Ma Yuanyi's head, and shouted at Taoist Taiping: "I, Chunyuqiong, beheaded the head of the bandit, and you will not surrender!"

Seeing that the general trend was going, Taipingdao surrendered one after another.At this point, the turmoil is finally over, but this is only the beginning of a bigger turmoil. The massive Yellow Turban Uprising is coming!
