Chapter 333 The rain is coming
February 187 AD.

Cai Yong was imprisoned in Beisi Prison.
On the way Cai Yong was taken to Beisi Prison, Zhang Rang, Song Dian and other middle officials were urgently summoned by the emperor to the Imperial Study Room to discuss countermeasures.When encountering important matters related to his own life, the emperor did not hesitate to choose Zhongguan as his most loyal helper.
Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang personally experienced the two coups that killed the generals Liang Yi and Dou Wu. Among the middle officials, no one can match in terms of seniority and prestige. For any major event, the middle officials all followed the example of these two men.
But when things happened suddenly, Zhang Rang was also a little at a loss.He thought for a long time, and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, if you want to make Marquis Dong the crown prince, you must murder the general, but it will take time to prepare. If we act hastily, we may be restrained by the general instead."
The emperor sneered and said nothing.
Zhang Rang saw that the emperor had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to play again: "Cai Yong's memorial is currently seen by a few of us. As long as it doesn't leak out, He Jin will not be on guard, so..." He Looking at the people in the room, he suddenly said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to die, don't speak out. Anyone who speaks out will kill the nine clans."
Standing behind the emperor, Jian Shuo was startled when Zhang Rang Leng Sen's eyes swept over him, and quickly lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, just in case, burn Cai Yong's memorial first."
The emperor nodded and glanced at Jian Shuo.Jian Shuo picked up the scroll on the case table and hurried out of the imperial study.
"Aiqing, do you want to recruit General Zhenbei to go south immediately?" the emperor said with a pair of short brows furrowed.
Zhang Rang pondered for a while, shook his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, don't scare the snake before the time comes. Once He Jin dies, Luoyang will definitely be in chaos. At that time, we will have to deal with the Northern Army and the gentry bureaucrats. So, when will Your Majesty If He Jin is killed, General Zhenbei will go south at any time. At this time, His Majesty can secretly summon General Zhenbei to station troops in the Yellow River, as long as the order is issued, the army will arrive sooner or later."
"How to kill He Jin?" the emperor asked.
===
General He Jin was preparing a banquet for Mr. Cai in the mansion, but suddenly received the news that Cai Yong had been arrested. He Jin was very surprised and asked what happened.Wang Yun, who rushed back from Ma Rizun's mansion, said that Cai Yong had written a memorial, which probably scolded the middle official and offended the emperor, "Now all the ministers have rushed to the North Palace to intercede for Cai Yong. .”
When the general heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare horses, and he also went to the palace to intercede.Walking halfway, he wanted to ask He Yong (pronounced yong) to see what He Yong had to say.Cai Yong was invited back by the emperor from a thousand miles away, and he was also the teacher of the emperor. It seemed a little unreasonable that the two monarchs and ministers turned their faces when they met.
When He Yong heard this, he was taken aback and stuttered, "General, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is going to kill you, get out of the city, out of the city."
He Jin was so frightened that he stood beside He Yong's sick bed and didn't move a step for a long time.
"General, immediately send [-] miles of fast riding to General Zhenbei, and ask him to keep his promise and not ruin the entire Han Kingdom because of His Majesty's stupidity."
"Then send someone to Hanoi to urgently call Yuan Shao back to the capital, and sit in the General's Mansion."
"Urgently order Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, to lead his troops to Pingyang immediately."
"Inform Wu Meng Duwei Ding Yuan and ask him to garrison Pinggao to prevent sudden changes in Beijing."
Panting quickly, He Jin sat down on the couch slowly, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Qiu, Hanoi Ant Thief..."
"It's already winter, why do you still fight? The ant thief is eager for us to withdraw." He Yong spoke loudly and urgently because of his excitement, which affected the wound, and he grinned in pain immediately, "calling Liu Biao back is to tell Your Majesty that we have already Know what he wants to do, let him figure it out."
"General, you go to the northern camp." He Yong urged.
"Boqiu..." He Jin was panicked and looked at He Yong with a bewildered look, his eyes were full of fear.
He Yong cursed secretly, and said angrily: "I will go with the general."
===
Lu Zhi had been kneeling for more than an hour, no matter how much he begged, the emperor was indifferent.Of course Lu Zhi did not dare to say that Jian Shuo had already told him what Cai Yong wrote in the memorial, that would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and force the emperor to kill more people, but now the emperor was deceived by the middle officials and decided to kill Cai Yong, kill He Jin, abolish his son and establish his concubine, how can he ignore the chaos in the country?
As long as the emperor can change his mind not to kill Cai Yong, patch up the window paper, and put the matter of abolishing the concubine and establishing the concubine into the water, Luoyang will not be in chaos.As long as there is no chaos in Luoyang, there is hope for peace in northern Xinjiang.Once the northern border is pacified, the country will gradually stabilize, and the Great Han Kingdom will have the hope of revival.
Lu Zhi implicitly repeated this meaning dozens of times, but the emperor just didn't listen.Killing He Jin established the imperial line, even if he paid a price, he would accept it.What he was thinking about was the future of his royal family and the life of little Donghou.Little Donghou is the hope of his life, the love of his life, he has already lost one, and he will never allow anyone to hurt his only one.
"Aiqing, get up, go and tell those ministers, stop kneeling outside, and go home." The emperor stood up and sighed, "Mr. is my teacher. If I have to, how can I do it?" This is a god-defying thing."
With Jian Shuo's support, Lu Zhi stood up unsteadily.
The emperor looked at his sad eyes and said in pain: "I like my teacher, but why can't the teacher understand me?" He suddenly punched the desk and shouted loudly, "Why can't anyone understand me?" What are your difficulties? Why?"
===
In Ma Rixun's study, several close friends of Cai Yong sat around together, sighing and hesitating.
"Yesterday, I shouldn't have said those things to Bo Jie. I shouldn't have said that." Lu Zhi lowered his head, remorseful, "Why did I tell him so much? I hurt him."
Zhang Wen patted him on the shoulder, comforted him, and said in a low voice, "Zigan, there are no outsiders here. Tell us, what did Bo Jie write in the memorial?"
Lu Zhi told the story before and after, and the people in the room were really dumbfounded and shocked.
"Did Bo Xi do it on purpose?" Ma Rixun said desperately, "He knew that the general's power had been damaged, so he deliberately used this method to force his wife to eunuch his hands, and fight to the death with the general."
Everyone bowed their heads and were speechless.Regardless of Cai Yong's purpose in presenting the memorial, anyway, his life is considered gone, and there is really no way to save it.
Zhang Wen felt miserable, stood up and walked back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, looked at Huangfusong and asked, "Yizhen, if General Zhenbei doesn't go south..."
"Boshen, if General Zhenbei doesn't lead his troops south, how will His Majesty's safety be guaranteed?" Huangfu Song sighed.
"If General Zhenbei is determined not to go south, will His Majesty give up..."
"The arrow has been wound, and it has to be fired. It's too late." Lu Zhi waved his hand, "General He Jin has already left the city this afternoon to the camp of the Northern Army, and Wei Wei Liu Bo has ordered the Southern Army to strengthen the defense of the palace. , Guang Luxun and Liu Ting have also been ordered to enter the palace to serve the emperor."
Everyone was shocked.
"The news has leaked?" Ma Rixun asked in panic.
"The middle officials are also their own masters, and it's normal for it to leak out." Huangfusong said, "What can we do now?"
"The reason why the capital is in today's situation is that the instigator is General Zhenbei. If he hadn't forced the court to pass the salt and iron agreement, the general's power would not have been lost, and the general's strength is intact. How dare the treacherous eunuch encourage the emperor to do so?" This catastrophe." Zhang Wen said, "but you have not found out, the last thing General Zhenbei wants to see at this time is the chaos in Luoyang, and the chaos in Luoyang will have dire consequences for the whole northern Xinjiang, so he What do you think, who knows if he will go south according to the order?"
Huangfusong and Lu Zhi immediately understood what Zhang Wen meant.
"According to my understanding of Li Hong, he is loyal to the Great Han Kingdom first, and His Majesty second. Look at what he has done in Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Hedong in the past few years? What he doesn't want to do, he You may not be able to submit." Zhang Wen suddenly thought of something, smiled, and said slowly, "If Cai Yong is not dead, the news of the memorial may not be spread all over the world, and if General Zhenbei does not go south, His Majesty may not go his own way. What do you think? ?”
Lu Zhi jumped up and said loudly: "Immediately write a letter to General Zhenbei. If Cai Yong dies, we will immediately support His Majesty's abolition of the first son and establishment of the concubine, but the condition is that His Majesty must abolish the proposal to reopen the salt and iron."
===
"A bunch of dead eunuchs who only care about their own lives, completely disregarding the life and death of the country, there is no good thing." Situ Xuxiang yelled in the study, with no demeanor at all.
At this time, if you want to abolish the father-in-law and establish the concubine, if you want to kill He Jin, even if you succeed, the harm to the country will be obvious.For people like Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, the nature of scholars is still deeply rooted in their hearts. Although they have to establish good relations with middle officials in order to get promoted and make money, they also hate middle officials for harming the country.Seeing that the chaos in Luoyang was imminent, Xu Xiang, Cao Song and others were very anxious, and they got together to discuss countermeasures.
If the Son of Heaven and the Zhongguan win, not only will their lives be safe, but they will also be meritorious officials; but if the Son of Heaven and the Zhongguan lose, they will be doomed, and He Jin will never let them go; and if both sides lose, they will perish If it is too late, the powerful bureaucrats will immediately occupy the court, so their lives may not be in danger, but their official careers will come to an end.
Xu Xiang, Cao Song and Fan Ling were not optimistic about the emperor and the middle officials.At this time, the emperor's order was established, not to mention the urging of the matter, but the attitude of Li Hong, the Zhenbei General Li Hong, whom His Majesty relied on as his reliance, is anyone's guess.
Cao Cao said bluntly: "General Zhenbei is now dragged down by the rebellion in northern Xinjiang and the settlement of Bingzhou. His faith and arrogance, he will definitely keep his promise and set up troops to defend himself. Without Li Hong's army as a backer, as long as His Majesty makes a move, he will be restrained by the general. At that time, we will all die without a place to die .Your Majesty can't see the situation clearly because it's deeply involved, but those stupid middle officials..."
Cao Cao shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "The middle officials are wronging the country, the middle officials are wronging the country."
Fan Ling sighed: "Hasn't Your Majesty already made up his mind to wait until the northern border is pacified before taking action? Why did Cai Yong change immediately when he came back?"
"Mr. Cai is too aggressive. He tore through the window paper." Cao Song said helplessly. This person is so confused. If I had known this, what would I do with [-] million yuan to buy this captain? I might as well take the money and go back to my hometown to retire.”
"Brother Jugao, don't be discouraged." Xu Xiang persuaded, "We don't know Li Hong's attitude towards the Luoyang matter, but Nephew Meng Dexian's speculation is very reasonable. He managed to get the benefits of salt and iron. Stabilizing the situation in Luoyang, of course, will not let all my hard work go to waste in a flash. Let's wait, the situation may change. You must know that this happened suddenly. We were not prepared, and neither was the general. , everyone was caught off guard, and it is unclear who will win and who will lose."
"Gongfu, you go ask Mr. Zijiang and tell him to look at the sky." Fan Ling said suddenly.
"Forget it, if the general tells us to submit our resignations and go home separately, would you like it?" Xu Xiang said angrily, "You have to work hard on your own to do anything. The sky is not static, sometimes, it also It will change as the situation develops.”
"Work hard? How hard? Is there a way, Brother Gongfu?" Fan Ling asked anxiously.
"As long as Cai Yong doesn't die, there is room for redemption." Xu Xiang said with a frown, "Once Cai Yong dies, rumors of abolishing the prince and establishing the concubine will immediately spread, and His Majesty will immediately confer the crown prince to calm people's hearts. When it came time to kill Cai Yong, if the general didn't have a countermeasure, he would be very passive. But judging from the fact that the general quickly left the city and hid in the camp of the Northern Army today, he was not only caught off guard, but also a little anxious to jump over the wall. It's a desperate fight."
Cao Cao understood, and immediately said, "Master Situ, you mean to rescue Cai Yong?"
"Yes. Without Cai Yong, His Majesty will have no excuse to abolish his son and establish his concubine, and the general will not make a hasty backhand attack. Luoyang immediately calmed down. What everyone should do is to do it. What are you going to do?"
Xu Xiang looked at Cao Cao, patted him on the back affectionately, and said with a smile, "Nephew, are you sure about this?"
Cao Cao pondered for a while, then said: "As far as our strength is concerned, it is definitely not enough. Yuan Shao is now the Sima of the General's Mansion, I guess he will come back soon, and I will go to him as soon as he comes back. Now, whether it is for Mr. Cai For our own sake, or for the Han Kingdom, we must rescue Mr. Cai to quell the current crisis."
Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Should we tell General Zhenbei what we think, in case..."
"Yes, yes." Xu Lian said, "Brother Jugao, you and I will write a letter together to tell Li Hong about the situation in Luoyang, and tell him to calm down and not to rush like Cai Yong. National affairs."
Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said: "Did you also drag in the Zhenbei General's Mansion? The Sima Li Wei of the Zhenbei General's Mansion is now in Luoyang, and he still has a hundred black panthers in his hand. Strong support."
These words immediately reminded Xu Xiang, and he said loudly: "My nephew is still smart. Luoyang's powerful family must want to save Cai Yong. If we take the lead in rescuing Cai Yong, we will not only improve the relationship with the general's mansion and the powerful family, Get a good name. Well, well, great."
He rubbed his hands excitedly, stood up and said: "Brother Jugao, you go to contact Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, and Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Ma Rixun and other adults. I will go to Yuan Clan and Yang Clan Take a walk at home. Meng De, it's not too late, you go to the post office to find Li Wei immediately."
Fan Ling hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Gong Fu, the matter of killing Li Wei..."
"Forget it, forget it, why are you killing Li Wei at this time?" Xu Xiang smiled wryly, "I'll go to Lord Zhu Jun's place in person, and tell him by the way that the engagement between the two families has been cancelled, so I'll just do it to the end."
===
General Li Hong of Zhenbei ran to Fengling Ferry to meet Wang Han, the prefect of Hedong.
Wang Han said with a smile: "The general is not far away to meet you, do you have any plans?"
Li Hong bowed and said with a smile: "I don't dare to have any schemes for you, as long as you don't scold me when you are working day and night."
"You must be scolded." Wang Han said bluntly, "You put 20 Yellow Turbans behind my back, why don't I scold? Do you want me to live a stable life?"
Li Hong took Wang Han's hand and laughed endlessly.
"With adults sitting in Hedong, next spring, I will have no worries when I go north to Youzhou."
"Oh." Pointing at him, Wang Han pretended to be surprised and said, "The general is so courageous, he dared to go north to Youzhou, bloody and corrupt. Do you want to kill all the bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty before going north?"
When the two were in Luoyang, they often met at the emperor's place, and they were very familiar with each other. After laughing and chatting with each other, Wang Han pointed to the attendants who got off the boat one after another and said, "General, there is another acquaintance here. Do you see who it is?"
Li Hong looked behind him, his face was filled with joy, and he waved his hands and shouted: "Master Sang, it turns out to be Master Sang..."
He bowed his hands to Wang Han apologetically, and strode forward to meet him.Sang Yang was still so delicate and elegant, he smiled and wanted to greet Li Hong, but Li Hong stopped him.
"How is Master Zhang?"
"After my lord was dismissed, I was happy and relaxed. I wrote books and played the piano at home. The days are gone, and my health is much better than before." Sangyang smiled.
"What joke are you talking about? You were my superior in the past, and I can't afford it." Li Hong held his hands and said sincerely, "If you still think about the fact that we killed the enemy together in Xiliang, you Just come to my Zhenbei General's Mansion, my Zhenbei General's Mansion is now a hollow shelf."
"General, you are robbing people." Wang Han who followed behind grabbed Sang Yang and smiled at Li Hong, "You have gone too far, you have not taken office yet, you started Poach my corner?"
Li Hong couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, you are too stingy. You brought more than 30 people, and I can't do without just one?"
"No, it's not negotiable."
===
Back in Anyi, Li Hong received the news from the Hun Hun Zhonglang, Xian Yufu.
Xian Yufu led his army to Duliao River, and within a few days of entering the Duliao camp, the Tu various tribes rebelled.Considering the situation in Bingzhou, Xian Yufu asked Li Hong for support, and at the same time sent someone to invite Da Shanyu Qiangqu and Yupeng King Xubu Guduhou to come forward to appease him.Although the armies of the two sides confronted each other in Huze and the atmosphere was tense, there was no confrontation.Soon, Yan Rou led the Yueqi Battalion, and Xu Rong led the Duliao Battalion to Huze one after another.
At this moment, Tiger King Baimatong suddenly accepted the appeasement of Da Shanyu Qiangqu and Yupeng King Xubu Guduhou, and led his army back to his territory, but he refused to plead guilty to the Han court, let alone pay tribute apologize.Xian Yufu was very angry and planned to attack the Tu clan before the snow fell.
After much consideration, Li Hong decided to agree to Xian Yufu's attack request.Don't hurt the Tu various clans, once the army goes north to Youzhou next year, and he rebels again, he will look south from head to tail.
As soon as Babaili Kuaiqi left the camp, Li Hong received a military order from Shangshutai: "Assemble the army and garrison the Yellow River."
Li Hong turned pale with fright, rushed out of the big tent like flying, and shouted at the machete guarding outside the tent: "Quickly, lead someone to stop the Eight Hundred Li Kuaiqi, stop it immediately."
===
After receiving Li Hong's letter, Wang Han and Sang Yang rushed out of the city to Daying.
"When the two adults left Beijing, was there anything unusual in Beijing?"
Wang Han and Sang Yang were also very shocked when they saw the brief military order sent by Shang Shutai.
"An accident happened in Luoyang." Wang Han said in horror, "There must be a big accident in Luoyang. The military order issued by Shang Shutai was very hasty, and he didn't even say the reason for the assembly of the army. The matter seems to be very urgent."
"It's almost New Year's Eve, what else will happen in Luoyang?" Li Hong asked in bewilderment.
Sangyang's scalp was numb. He looked at Wang Han, moved his lips, and whispered, "My lord, is it the general..."
Wang Han lowered his head with pain on his face.He thought about it when he got the military order, but he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to think it.At this time, if the emperor and the general fight for the imperial lineage, the country is basically over.
Li Hong also thought about it, but he thought that he had already negotiated with the general in private, so this should not happen.Li Hong threw the military order in his hand onto the case table, feeling extremely frustrated.what to do?If Luoyang really becomes chaotic, should he send troops or not?What about Tuntian?What about counterinsurgency?What about northern Xinjiang?
Not half an hour later, the emperor's edict was delivered to the camp.
The emperor didn't say what happened in Luoyang in the edict, he just asked Li Hong to immediately assemble the army and wait for his order to go south to Beijing at any time.But the emperor's order is enough to explain the problem, and everyone in the tent knows that the emperor has already engaged with the general.What else can Li Hong's army do when it goes south to Beijing besides dealing with the Northern Army?
Xie Ming sighed and said: "It's over. The chaos in Luoyang, I don't know when it will be settled down. The matter of farming will be delayed, let alone going north to suppress the rebellion."
"There is a general in northern Xinjiang. Even if things are delayed for a few years, there is still a possibility of salvation." Sang Yang said with a wry smile, "But the chaos in Luoyang, the imperial power has been damaged, and the bureaucrats in the court are busy fighting among themselves. Take advantage of the opportunity to riot, and the big man is in danger."
"Save it?" Li Hong sneered, "What can I do to save it? There are turmoil in the Han Dynasty, and the people's livelihood is dying. Who is this salt and iron sold to? Where does the money come from? If Luoyang is in chaos, northern Xinjiang will be over."
"My lord, then you..."
Before Sangyang finished speaking, he suddenly saw Li Hong standing up murderously, so frightened that he quickly swallowed the rest of the sentence.
"Order Qu Yi, assemble the army, and immediately rush to Fenglingdu and cross the Yellow River." Li Hong said through gritted teeth, "The army will directly kill Luoyang, and anyone who rebels against the ministers or thieves will be killed."
"Rush to Handan with a fast ride of [-] li, and order Zhao Yun to go south quickly and head straight for Luoyang."
"Notify Xian Yufu to give up attacking the Tu various tribes, and ask Yan Rou to lead the army back to Longshan camp immediately."
"Tell Xiao Lan, immediately invite the boss to the Zhenbei General's headquarters to act as the Zhenbei General's military."
Xie Ming was shocked, and shouted: "My lord, Luoyang has fifty thousand northern troops."
"I want to see how many people from the Northern Army dare to kill me!" Li Hong left without looking back.
Outside the tent, the sound of ox horns soared into the sky.
"Master Wang, why don't you persuade General Li?" Sang Yang looked at Wang Han who was sitting silently, and asked loudly, "Do you want to watch the big man perish?"
"Kill!" Wang Han slapped the case suddenly, and shouted angrily, "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone should be punished. If we don't kill all these people who harm the country and the people, my country will not be destroyed today, but it will be destroyed tomorrow."
"Go, go to Luoyang!"
===
Thirteen thousand cavalry galloped along the road at full speed, and arrived at Pubanjin in the middle of the night.
General He Jin's letter was sent to Li Hong in a hurry.He Jin finally made it clear what happened in Luoyang. It was not that he threatened the emperor to establish an imperial order, but that the emperor and the middle officials wanted to kill him.
After listening to Li Hong's narration, Wang Han felt relieved.He wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile, shook his head and said, "This Cai Yong, it's crazy to cause such a big disturbance after returning to the capital. What is the general going to do?"
"I stationed troops on the Yellow River to prevent changes in Beijing." Knowing that nothing major happened in Luoyang, Li Hong also heaved a sigh of relief, and his emotions immediately relaxed, "Your Excellency, you should go back to Anyi. I will try my best to find a way to solve this crisis. Stabilize the situation in Luoyang."
Wang Han nodded and said with a smile: "The general loses his temper. It's scary, but I like it very much. General, you should be so imposing."
Li Hong laughed, bowed his hands and said goodbye to him, and led the army to continue to Fenglingdu.
When he arrived at Fenglingdu, Li Hong received a letter from Lu Zhi.
"My lord, why are you angry again?" Xie Ming saw that Li Hong's face was as frosty before he finished reading, so he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What did Lord Lu say in the letter?"
"He dares to threaten me." Li Hong smashed the bamboo slips to the ground, and said angrily, "He actually threatened me with a million refugees. Is this a celebrity in the world?"
===
In the morning of the next day, a joint letter from Taiwei Cao Song and Situ Xuxiang was sent to Fenglingdu Camp.
"Lianzhi, the situation in central Beijing really changes three times a day, making people dizzy." After reading it, Li Hong laughed, "Look, now Luoyang, except for the emperor and those damn middle officials, everyone else We have already teamed up. This famous scholar Cai is really the No. 1 scholar in the world, and there are so many people who want to save him."
Xie Ming smiled while reading the letter: "Of course, in the past 400 years of the Han Dynasty, how many famous people like Mr. Cai have been there? How can they be killed?"
"Lianzhi, when do you think the Son of Heaven will kill Cai Yong and force He Jin to take action?" Li Hong waited for Xie Ming to read the letter and asked casually.
"Last month, the Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday. He Jin planned to kill the traitor, but we destroyed it. I didn't expect his retribution to come soon. Now the emperor and the middle officials are going to kill him again. Haha, it's really interesting." Thank you Ming smiled and said, "The best chance to kill He Jin is during the first few days of the first lunar month. If He Jin doesn't enter the palace, he'll make excuses, and it's hard not to die, but if he enters the palace, it's over immediately , I guess I can only leave the North Palace with my head in my hands."
"If you do bad things, you will always be punished by the gods, and no one can escape." Li Hong laughed and said, "It is very difficult for Lord Taiwei and Lord Situ to rescue Cai Yong before the year, and there are not many days until the New Year. "
"Why, my lord wants to do it yourself?"
Li Hong smiled without saying a word.
"My lord, let me make it clear to you. The leading generals leave the station without permission to conspire with the rebellion. Anyone who breaks the law will kill the nine clans. You don't want to..."
"I know, I know." Li Hong hurriedly waved his hands, "Don't worry, I will never leave Beijiang."
"After crossing the Yellow River, you are no longer General Zhenbei, but an imminent crime." Xie Ming looked at him in disbelief, and said seriously, "This is not a joke."
Li Hong felt guilty when he showed him, nodded again and again, and changed the subject, "Why is there no news about Zhong Yuan?"
He was talking here, and Li Wei's letter arrived there.
In the letter, Li Wei explained the whole story in detail, and said that Cao Cao had made an agreement with him, and now he was waiting for Yuan Shao, the Sima of the General's Mansion, to come back.As soon as Yuan Shao came back, rescue immediately.Just one question, where did Cai Yong flee after being rescued?
Cai Yong caused such a big disaster in the capital, which brought catastrophe to all parties. Although all parties are trying to save him for different purposes, after being rescued, the crisis in Luoyang will be resolved. At that time, what should kill him will still kill him.As long as Cai Yong does not die in Luoyang, he has nothing to do with the powerful people in Luoyang, but if Cai Yong never dies, he has something to do with the powerful people in Luoyang. Cai Yong is a hidden worry in their hearts.Therefore, it is probably easy to rescue Cai Yong from Luoyang, but it is very difficult to ensure that Cai Yong is still alive and intact.
Li Hong had a headache.Li Wei What does this mean?Do I have to promise Cai Yong to live forever?How can I guarantee that he will always be alive?
"My lord, my lord Lu..."
"Don't mention him." Li Hong said unhappily, "When I mention him, I will get angry. I know that they are all kind-hearted, and they are all friends of Cai Yong. They all hope that I will take Cai Yong to Bingzhou, but they How can you threaten me? How can you threaten me with the lives of millions of refugees? Are millions of refugees not as good as one Cai Yong? Ordinary people’s lives are not their lives, are they grass or ants?”
"My lord, Mr. Lu may be in a hurry..."
"Don't talk about it. When Cai Yong arrived in Bingzhou, how can I explain to His Majesty? You know, as long as His Majesty opens his mouth, our agreement on salt and iron will be abolished. Compared with the millions of refugees in Bingzhou, his Cai Yong's life What is it?" Li Hong said loudly, "Reply to Li Wei, tell him not to get involved in this matter, and get out of here immediately."
"My lord, isn't a life a life?" Xie Ming knelt down and said excitedly, "My lord cherishes the life of every refugee and every soldier. Why can't you cherish Mr. Cai's life?"
"Lianzhi, get up for me." Li Hong slammed his desk and shouted loudly, "I will never agree, never."
===
When Li Wei received Li Hong's letter, his heart suddenly became cold.
He hurried to Zhu Jun's house and handed Li Hong's letter to Zhu Jun.
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Zhu Jun was speechless for a long time.
"Zhong Yuan, General Zhenbei is thinking about the survival of millions of refugees in Bingzhou. He is indeed not wrong, not wrong. If it were me, I would not agree." Zhu Jun smiled sadly and stopped talking.
Zhu Mu patted Li Wei lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving right away?"
"If I don't leave, I want to rescue Mr. Cai. Without him, how could Xiao Lan's engagement be broken? Just for this, I will save him."
Zhu Mu asked strangely, "Aren't you afraid that General Zhenbei will chop off your head?"
"It's okay. Your Excellency is very kind to his subordinates. As long as he is not corrupt and perverts the law, he will not punish him. He will only scold you." Li Wei said with a smile, "What do you mean? I want to go back and marry Xiao Lan. Do you want me to be punished?" Beheading?"
Zhu Mu laughed.
"Ding, can you follow me to Bingzhou?"
Zhu Mu looked at his father.
"You go, now, Beijiang needs people to serve the country." Zhu Jun nodded, "Besides, when Zhong Yuan and Xiao Lan got married, neither your mother nor I could go. If the eldest brother is a father, you have full authority." Let's deal with it."
===
Zhu Mu and Li Wei walked side by side in the garden, discussing where Cai Yong should go.
"Zhong Yuan, think about it carefully, under what circumstances would General Zhenbei agree to protect Mr. Cai?"
Li Wei said with a smile: "If Mr. Cai arrives in Bingzhou, it will help to farm, help to appease the refugees, and help the stability of northern Xinjiang. Your Excellency will definitely agree."
"Mr. Cai, a fugitive, has nothing to do with the stability of northern Xinjiang. You can really talk about it." Zhu Mu laughed, "Mr. Cai can neither be an official nor give lectures. He can only hide in a hidden place and play the piano..."
"Yes, yes..." Li Wei suddenly came to his senses, punched Zhu Mu hard, and shouted, "You are really a genius."

Xie Ming walked into the big tent lightly and sat beside Li Hong.
Li Hong looked up at him, pointed outside the tent and said, "If you want to talk about Cai Yong, go outside the tent and say it, I won't listen."
"My lord, I won't talk about it today." Xie Ming said with a smile: "Today I will tell you about opening a school in Bingzhou."
Li Hong suddenly became interested. He put down the paper in his hand and said, "Yes, you reminded me of that. Once the refugees in Bingzhou are full and warm, the next step is to let young people and Young children go to study classics and history, and learn to be human.”
Xie Ming smiled and said, "Your Excellency is biased when he says that. There are not only millions of refugees in Bingzhou, but also hundreds of thousands of barbarians. If we want to completely tame the barbarians, this education is a big deal."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Hong nodded again and again, cupped his hands in admiration and said, "Please speak, Lianzhi, please."
Xie Ming talked eloquently, and he talked endlessly about the idea of opening a school in Bingzhou and recruiting Han and beard children to study in the same class.Li Hong applauded the case, but then he sighed and said: "Lianzhi, your idea is good, but in a desolate place like northern Xinjiang, who wants to be a doctor who teaches here? Although you are all talented, you are all burdened. Heavy duty, no time to clone at all. Difficult."
Xie Ming said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you can offer a lot of money to recruit famous people from all over the world."
"Celebrities?" Li Hong sneered, "How many celebrities are willing to go to northern Xinjiang? They are all staying in Luoyang and waiting to become famous, and the glory of their ancestors."
Xie Ming said with a smile: "Your Excellency, can you invite celebrities from Border County? For example, Wang Jian, who is stable in the western border, do you still remember him?"
Of course Li Hong remembered that Li Wei was planning to send Fu Gan to study under Wang Jian's school. Wang Jian's father was the famous Confucian Wang Fu who wrote "On the Latent Fu".Li Hong asked in surprise: "I invite him, is Mr. Wang willing to come?"
"Your Excellency is now an important general in the Great Han Kingdom. He recruited Mr. Wang to open a school. It will benefit the country and the people. How could he not agree? Mr. Wang will definitely accept the recruitment."
Li Hong thought for a while, and said: "It's better to be cautious, so as not to be self-defeating. What am I? In their eyes, I am just a vulgar martial artist. When the matter in Luoyang is settled, I'd better ask the boss to come forward and invite me. "
"Is there anyone else like Mr. Wang? The more you invite, the better."
Xie Ming smiled and said, "Yes, for example, Mr. Cai..."
Li Hong finally understood that Xie Ming made such a big circle, and finally it was for Cai Yong.
"You boy, is this how you treat me?" Li Hong looked at the smiling Xie Ming, dumbfounded.
===
Seeing that Li Hong was not angry, Xie Ming knew that his persuasion had worked, and immediately explained: "Zhong Yuan sent me a letter asking me to persuade you again. He said that Mr. Cai could open classes when he arrived in Bingzhou. Future stability will go a long way, so..."
Li Hong thought for a long time, and said: "Let Zishan come, tell him to take the arc tripod, abandon the sink, and three hundred black panthers, and rush to Luoyang immediately to help Zhongyuan rescue Mr. Cai."
Xie Ming was overjoyed, leaned over to thank him and said: "Master Xie..."
"Lianzhi, okay, okay, I should be the one who should thank you." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "You are knowledgeable, proficient in political affairs, and have a long-term perspective. In this regard, I feel ashamed."
Yan Liang, Hu Ding and Qi Shen hurried to the big tent.Li Hong explained in detail what happened in Luoyang and how he might be hunted down after rescuing Cai Yong.
"Zishan, after leaving Luoyang, don't go to Hedong, but to Jizhou."
Yan Liang asked puzzledly: "My lord, after we rescued Mr. Cai, we were only four hundred miles away from the east of the river, and we arrived in no time. Why did we have to detour to Jizhou for thousands of miles?"
Li Hong smiled wryly, and said, "I need time to beg His Majesty to pardon Mr. Cai, I need time."
Xie Ming glanced at Li Hong guiltily, bowed his head and remained silent.It is indeed very difficult for Li Hong to get His Majesty, who is in a rage, to pardon Mr. Cai for his capital crime, but the risk is too great for Li Hong to directly hide Cai Yong who has committed a capital crime. Therefore, Li Hong could only use both soft and hard tactics to force His Majesty to accept the fact that Cai Yong had fled, forcing His Majesty to give up his idea of plotting to kill the General and attempting to reunite with the Emperor.
"I have already ordered Zhao Yun to go to Hanoi to meet you. After you leave Xingyang, immediately cross the Yellow River north and head north quickly. Remember, don't delay in Hanoi, let alone go to Yanzhou, understand?"
"Why did we go to Yanzhou?" Qi Chen said with a smile, "My lord is too worried."
"Mr. Cai's hometown is Chenliu. If he wants to go back and have a look, that bastard Zhong Yuan will definitely agree." Li Hong said, "This time he caused me a lot of trouble. I want him to look good when he comes back."
Then he took out a military order and handed it to Yan Liang, saying: "When you leave Hulao Pass, you will be in command, don't listen to Zhongyuan anymore, you understand?"
Yan Liang accepted the military order with a smile and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I'll tie him up when he gets out of the prison. If he talks nonsense again, I'll gag him."
Li Hongda laughed and said, "Zishan, I didn't ask you to do this. You should think about the consequences yourself. If Xiaolan finds out, you..."
Yan Liang chuckled and said, "Forget it then. By the way, my lord, when shall we go back to Bingzhou?"
"After receiving my order, you will protect Mr. Cai back. If you have enough time, you can go back to Changshan and bring your mother and two wives to Bingzhou."
===
Yuan Shao returned to Luoyang and immediately met with Cao Cao and Li Wei.The three discussed for two days, and after confirming that the rescue plan was foolproof, they immediately split up.
Although the officials also thought that someone might come to rescue Cai Yong and strengthened the guards in Beisi Prison, the combined strength of the three prefectures was too strong.On a morning when the north wind was howling, dozens of generals from the three prefectures headed by Yan Liang forced their way into Beisi Prison and rescued Cai Yong.With the tacit cooperation of all parties, Cai Yong escaped from Luoyang without any danger.
Four hundred black panthers guarded Cai Yong and his daughter Cai Yan and rushed towards Hulao Pass.The guard at Hulao Pass was a member of General He Jin, who turned a blind eye and let him go.
After leaving the tiger prison, Yan Liang immediately ordered the carriage to be abandoned, and Qi Shen carried Cai Yong on his back, and Li Wei carried Cai Yan on his back. Each of them had two horses, and they flew at Xingyang overnight at the fastest speed.
"Zishan, sir is tortured by eunuchs, and he can't stand such running around at all. You will kill him." Li Wei said loudly, "Mr. must take a carriage."
Yan Liang ignored him, handed Li Hong's military order to him, and said in a cold voice: "Listen to me now, you go and carry Mr.'s daughter, don't be wordy."
Li Wei was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he shouted angrily: "Sir, something will happen, go back and wait for death."
Yan Liang glared at him, and said: "My lord said, you caused him a lot of trouble this time, and he wants you to look good after you go back. Think about it yourself."
Li Wei felt a chill in his heart and became discouraged.
When he arrived in Xingyang, Cai Yong really asked to go home.He said he couldn't do it anymore, and if he could die in his homeland, he would die in peace, but Yan Liang didn't pay any attention to it, and only cared about galloping.
A group of people hurried across the Yellow River, turned around and ran towards Jizhou.
Suddenly, there was the sound of roaring horseshoes behind them, and a cavalry army flew towards them.
Black Panther Yicong was exhausted at this time, if he continued to run, he would not even have the strength to resist.Yan Liang decisively ordered to stop the advance and waited in line.
Holding a big knife in his hand, he galloped up to meet him.
The chasing cavalry army was about 2000 people. When they saw the black panther Yicong put down the formation, they stopped immediately.A tall and strong officer came on horseback with a halberd in his hand.
"Who is coming?"
"My subordinate, Lu Bu, pay my respects to the Captain."

(End of this chapter)
February 187 AD.
===
Cai Yong was imprisoned in Beisi Prison.
On the way Cai Yong was taken to Beisi Prison, Zhang Rang, Song Dian and other middle officials were urgently summoned by the emperor to the Imperial Study Room to discuss countermeasures.When encountering important matters related to his own life, the emperor did not hesitate to choose Zhongguan as his most loyal helper.
Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang personally experienced the two coups that killed the generals Liang Yi and Dou Wu. Among the middle officials, no one can match in terms of seniority and prestige. For any major event, the middle officials all followed the example of these two men.
But when things happened suddenly, Zhang Rang was also a little at a loss.He thought for a long time, and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, if you want to make Marquis Dong the crown prince, you must murder the general, but it will take time to prepare. If we act hastily, we may be restrained by the general instead."
The emperor sneered and said nothing.
Zhang Rang saw that the emperor had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to play again: "Cai Yong's memorial is currently seen by a few of us. As long as it doesn't leak out, He Jin will not be on guard, so..." He Looking at the people in the room, he suddenly said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to die, don't speak out. Anyone who speaks out will kill the nine clans."
Standing behind the emperor, Jian Shuo was startled when Zhang Rang Leng Sen's eyes swept over him, and quickly lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, just in case, burn Cai Yong's memorial first."
The emperor nodded and glanced at Jian Shuo.Jian Shuo picked up the scroll on the case table and hurried out of the imperial study.
"Aiqing, do you want to recruit General Zhenbei to go south immediately?" the emperor said with a pair of short brows furrowed.
Zhang Rang pondered for a while, shook his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, don't scare the snake before the time comes. Once He Jin dies, Luoyang will definitely be in chaos. At that time, we will have to deal with the Northern Army and the gentry bureaucrats. So, when will Your Majesty If He Jin is killed, General Zhenbei will go south at any time. At this time, His Majesty can secretly summon General Zhenbei to station troops in the Yellow River, as long as the order is issued, the army will arrive sooner or later."
"How to kill He Jin?" the emperor asked.
===
General He Jin was preparing a banquet for Mr. Cai in the mansion, but suddenly received the news that Cai Yong had been arrested. He Jin was very surprised and asked what happened.Wang Yun, who rushed back from Ma Rizun's mansion, said that Cai Yong had written a memorial, which probably scolded the middle official and offended the emperor, "Now all the ministers have rushed to the North Palace to intercede for Cai Yong. .”
When the general heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare horses, and he also went to the palace to intercede.Walking halfway, he wanted to ask He Yong (pronounced yong) to see what He Yong had to say.Cai Yong was invited back by the emperor from a thousand miles away, and he was also the teacher of the emperor. It seemed a little unreasonable that the two monarchs and ministers turned their faces when they met.
When He Yong heard this, he was taken aback and stuttered, "General, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is going to kill you, get out of the city, out of the city."
He Jin was so frightened that he stood beside He Yong's sick bed and didn't move a step for a long time.
"General, immediately send [-] miles of fast riding to General Zhenbei, and ask him to keep his promise and not ruin the entire Han Kingdom because of His Majesty's stupidity."
"Then send someone to Hanoi to urgently call Yuan Shao back to the capital, and sit in the General's Mansion."
"Urgently order Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, to lead his troops to Pingyang immediately."
"Inform Wu Meng Duwei Ding Yuan and ask him to garrison Pinggao to prevent sudden changes in Beijing."
Panting quickly, He Jin sat down on the couch slowly, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Qiu, Hanoi Ant Thief..."
"It's already winter, why do you still fight? The ant thief is eager for us to withdraw." He Yong spoke loudly and urgently because of his excitement, which affected the wound, and he grinned in pain immediately, "calling Liu Biao back is to tell Your Majesty that we have already Know what he wants to do, let him figure it out."
"General, you go to the northern camp." He Yong urged.
"Boqiu..." He Jin was panicked and looked at He Yong with a bewildered look, his eyes were full of fear.
He Yong cursed secretly, and said angrily: "I will go with the general."
===
Lu Zhi had been kneeling for more than an hour, no matter how much he begged, the emperor was indifferent.Of course Lu Zhi did not dare to say that Jian Shuo had already told him what Cai Yong wrote in the memorial, that would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and force the emperor to kill more people, but now the emperor was deceived by the middle officials and decided to kill Cai Yong, kill He Jin, abolish his son and establish his concubine, how can he ignore the chaos in the country?
As long as the emperor can change his mind not to kill Cai Yong, patch up the window paper, and put the matter of abolishing the concubine and establishing the concubine into the water, Luoyang will not be in chaos.As long as there is no chaos in Luoyang, there is hope for peace in northern Xinjiang.Once the northern border is pacified, the country will gradually stabilize, and the Great Han Kingdom will have the hope of revival.
Lu Zhi implicitly repeated this meaning dozens of times, but the emperor just didn't listen.Killing He Jin established the imperial line, even if he paid a price, he would accept it.What he was thinking about was the future of his royal family and the life of little Donghou.Little Donghou is the hope of his life, the love of his life, he has already lost one, and he will never allow anyone to hurt his only one.
"Aiqing, get up, go and tell those ministers, stop kneeling outside, and go home." The emperor stood up and sighed, "Mr. is my teacher. If I have to, how can I do it?" This is a god-defying thing."
With Jian Shuo's support, Lu Zhi stood up unsteadily.
The emperor looked at his sad eyes and said in pain: "I like my teacher, but why can't the teacher understand me?" He suddenly punched the desk and shouted loudly, "Why can't anyone understand me?" What are your difficulties? Why?"
===
In Ma Rixun's study, several close friends of Cai Yong sat around together, sighing and hesitating.
"Yesterday, I shouldn't have said those things to Bo Jie. I shouldn't have said that." Lu Zhi lowered his head, remorseful, "Why did I tell him so much? I hurt him."
Zhang Wen patted him on the shoulder, comforted him, and said in a low voice, "Zigan, there are no outsiders here. Tell us, what did Bo Jie write in the memorial?"
Lu Zhi told the story before and after, and the people in the room were really dumbfounded and shocked.
"Did Bo Xi do it on purpose?" Ma Rixun said desperately, "He knew that the general's power had been damaged, so he deliberately used this method to force his wife to eunuch his hands, and fight to the death with the general."
Everyone bowed their heads and were speechless.Regardless of Cai Yong's purpose in presenting the memorial, anyway, his life is considered gone, and there is really no way to save it.
Zhang Wen felt miserable, stood up and walked back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, looked at Huangfusong and asked, "Yizhen, if General Zhenbei doesn't go south..."
"Boshen, if General Zhenbei doesn't lead his troops south, how will His Majesty's safety be guaranteed?" Huangfu Song sighed.
"If General Zhenbei is determined not to go south, will His Majesty give up..."
"The arrow has been wound, and it has to be fired. It's too late." Lu Zhi waved his hand, "General He Jin has already left the city this afternoon to the camp of the Northern Army, and Wei Wei Liu Bo has ordered the Southern Army to strengthen the defense of the palace. , Guang Luxun and Liu Ting have also been ordered to enter the palace to serve the emperor."
Everyone was shocked.
"The news has leaked?" Ma Rixun asked in panic.
"The middle officials are also their own masters, and it's normal for it to leak out." Huangfusong said, "What can we do now?"
"The reason why the capital is in today's situation is that the instigator is General Zhenbei. If he hadn't forced the court to pass the salt and iron agreement, the general's power would not have been lost, and the general's strength is intact. How dare the treacherous eunuch encourage the emperor to do so?" This catastrophe." Zhang Wen said, "but you have not found out, the last thing General Zhenbei wants to see at this time is the chaos in Luoyang, and the chaos in Luoyang will have dire consequences for the whole northern Xinjiang, so he What do you think, who knows if he will go south according to the order?"
Huangfusong and Lu Zhi immediately understood what Zhang Wen meant.
"According to my understanding of Li Hong, he is loyal to the Great Han Kingdom first, and His Majesty second. Look at what he has done in Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Hedong in the past few years? What he doesn't want to do, he You may not be able to submit." Zhang Wen suddenly thought of something, smiled, and said slowly, "If Cai Yong is not dead, the news of the memorial may not be spread all over the world, and if General Zhenbei does not go south, His Majesty may not go his own way. What do you think? ?”
Lu Zhi jumped up and said loudly: "Immediately write a letter to General Zhenbei. If Cai Yong dies, we will immediately support His Majesty's abolition of the first son and establishment of the concubine, but the condition is that His Majesty must abolish the proposal to reopen the salt and iron."
===
"A bunch of dead eunuchs who only care about their own lives, completely disregarding the life and death of the country, there is no good thing." Situ Xuxiang yelled in the study, with no demeanor at all.
At this time, if you want to abolish the father-in-law and establish the concubine, if you want to kill He Jin, even if you succeed, the harm to the country will be obvious.For people like Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, the nature of scholars is still deeply rooted in their hearts. Although they have to establish good relations with middle officials in order to get promoted and make money, they also hate middle officials for harming the country.Seeing that the chaos in Luoyang was imminent, Xu Xiang, Cao Song and others were very anxious, and they got together to discuss countermeasures.
If the Son of Heaven and the Zhongguan win, not only will their lives be safe, but they will also be meritorious officials; but if the Son of Heaven and the Zhongguan lose, they will be doomed, and He Jin will never let them go; and if both sides lose, they will perish If it is too late, the powerful bureaucrats will immediately occupy the court, so their lives may not be in danger, but their official careers will come to an end.
Xu Xiang, Cao Song and Fan Ling were not optimistic about the emperor and the middle officials.At this time, the emperor's order was established, not to mention the urging of the matter, but the attitude of Li Hong, the Zhenbei General Li Hong, whom His Majesty relied on as his reliance, is anyone's guess.
Cao Cao said bluntly: "General Zhenbei is now dragged down by the rebellion in northern Xinjiang and the settlement of Bingzhou. His faith and arrogance, he will definitely keep his promise and set up troops to defend himself. Without Li Hong's army as a backer, as long as His Majesty makes a move, he will be restrained by the general. At that time, we will all die without a place to die .Your Majesty can't see the situation clearly because it's deeply involved, but those stupid middle officials..."
Cao Cao shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "The middle officials are wronging the country, the middle officials are wronging the country."
Fan Ling sighed: "Hasn't Your Majesty already made up his mind to wait until the northern border is pacified before taking action? Why did Cai Yong change immediately when he came back?"
"Mr. Cai is too aggressive. He tore through the window paper." Cao Song said helplessly. This person is so confused. If I had known this, what would I do with [-] million yuan to buy this captain? I might as well take the money and go back to my hometown to retire.”
"Brother Jugao, don't be discouraged." Xu Xiang persuaded, "We don't know Li Hong's attitude towards the Luoyang matter, but Nephew Meng Dexian's speculation is very reasonable. He managed to get the benefits of salt and iron. Stabilizing the situation in Luoyang, of course, will not let all my hard work go to waste in a flash. Let's wait, the situation may change. You must know that this happened suddenly. We were not prepared, and neither was the general. , everyone was caught off guard, and it is unclear who will win and who will lose."
"Gongfu, you go ask Mr. Zijiang and tell him to look at the sky." Fan Ling said suddenly.
"Forget it, if the general tells us to submit our resignations and go home separately, would you like it?" Xu Xiang said angrily, "You have to work hard on your own to do anything. The sky is not static, sometimes, it also It will change as the situation develops.”
"Work hard? How hard? Is there a way, Brother Gongfu?" Fan Ling asked anxiously.
"As long as Cai Yong doesn't die, there is room for redemption." Xu Xiang said with a frown, "Once Cai Yong dies, rumors of abolishing the prince and establishing the concubine will immediately spread, and His Majesty will immediately confer the crown prince to calm people's hearts. When it came time to kill Cai Yong, if the general didn't have a countermeasure, he would be very passive. But judging from the fact that the general quickly left the city and hid in the camp of the Northern Army today, he was not only caught off guard, but also a little anxious to jump over the wall. It's a desperate fight."
Cao Cao understood, and immediately said, "Master Situ, you mean to rescue Cai Yong?"
"Yes. Without Cai Yong, His Majesty will have no excuse to abolish his son and establish his concubine, and the general will not make a hasty backhand attack. Luoyang immediately calmed down. What everyone should do is to do it. What are you going to do?"
Xu Xiang looked at Cao Cao, patted him on the back affectionately, and said with a smile, "Nephew, are you sure about this?"
Cao Cao pondered for a while, then said: "As far as our strength is concerned, it is definitely not enough. Yuan Shao is now the Sima of the General's Mansion, I guess he will come back soon, and I will go to him as soon as he comes back. Now, whether it is for Mr. Cai For our own sake, or for the Han Kingdom, we must rescue Mr. Cai to quell the current crisis."
Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Should we tell General Zhenbei what we think, in case..."
"Yes, yes." Xu Lian said, "Brother Jugao, you and I will write a letter together to tell Li Hong about the situation in Luoyang, and tell him to calm down and not to rush like Cai Yong. National affairs."
Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said: "Did you also drag in the Zhenbei General's Mansion? The Sima Li Wei of the Zhenbei General's Mansion is now in Luoyang, and he still has a hundred black panthers in his hand. Strong support."
These words immediately reminded Xu Xiang, and he said loudly: "My nephew is still smart. Luoyang's powerful family must want to save Cai Yong. If we take the lead in rescuing Cai Yong, we will not only improve the relationship with the general's mansion and the powerful family, Get a good name. Well, well, great."
He rubbed his hands excitedly, stood up and said: "Brother Jugao, you go to contact Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, and Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Ma Rixun and other adults. I will go to Yuan Clan and Yang Clan Take a walk at home. Meng De, it's not too late, you go to the post office to find Li Wei immediately."
Fan Ling hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Gong Fu, the matter of killing Li Wei..."
"Forget it, forget it, why are you killing Li Wei at this time?" Xu Xiang smiled wryly, "I'll go to Lord Zhu Jun's place in person, and tell him by the way that the engagement between the two families has been cancelled, so I'll just do it to the end."
===
General Li Hong of Zhenbei ran to Fengling Ferry to meet Wang Han, the prefect of Hedong.
Wang Han said with a smile: "The general is not far away to meet you, do you have any plans?"
Li Hong bowed and said with a smile: "I don't dare to have any schemes for you, as long as you don't scold me when you are working day and night."
"You must be scolded." Wang Han said bluntly, "You put 20 Yellow Turbans behind my back, why don't I scold? Do you want me to live a stable life?"
Li Hong took Wang Han's hand and laughed endlessly.
"With adults sitting in Hedong, next spring, I will have no worries when I go north to Youzhou."
"Oh." Pointing at him, Wang Han pretended to be surprised and said, "The general is so courageous, he dared to go north to Youzhou, bloody and corrupt. Do you want to kill all the bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty before going north?"
When the two were in Luoyang, they often met at the emperor's place, and they were very familiar with each other. After laughing and chatting with each other, Wang Han pointed to the attendants who got off the boat one after another and said, "General, there is another acquaintance here. Do you see who it is?"
Li Hong looked behind him, his face was filled with joy, and he waved his hands and shouted: "Master Sang, it turns out to be Master Sang..."
He bowed his hands to Wang Han apologetically, and strode forward to meet him.Sang Yang was still so delicate and elegant, he smiled and wanted to greet Li Hong, but Li Hong stopped him.
"How is Master Zhang?"
"After my lord was dismissed, I was happy and relaxed. I wrote books and played the piano at home. The days are gone, and my health is much better than before." Sangyang smiled.
"What joke are you talking about? You were my superior in the past, and I can't afford it." Li Hong held his hands and said sincerely, "If you still think about the fact that we killed the enemy together in Xiliang, you Just come to my Zhenbei General's Mansion, my Zhenbei General's Mansion is now a hollow shelf."
"General, you are robbing people." Wang Han who followed behind grabbed Sang Yang and smiled at Li Hong, "You have gone too far, you have not taken office yet, you started Poach my corner?"
Li Hong couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, you are too stingy. You brought more than 30 people, and I can't do without just one?"
"No, it's not negotiable."
===
Back in Anyi, Li Hong received the news from the Hun Hun Zhonglang, Xian Yufu.
Xian Yufu led his army to Duliao River, and within a few days of entering the Duliao camp, the Tu various tribes rebelled.Considering the situation in Bingzhou, Xian Yufu asked Li Hong for support, and at the same time sent someone to invite Da Shanyu Qiangqu and Yupeng King Xubu Guduhou to come forward to appease him.Although the armies of the two sides confronted each other in Huze and the atmosphere was tense, there was no confrontation.Soon, Yan Rou led the Yueqi Battalion, and Xu Rong led the Duliao Battalion to Huze one after another.
At this moment, Tiger King Baimatong suddenly accepted the appeasement of Da Shanyu Qiangqu and Yupeng King Xubu Guduhou, and led his army back to his territory, but he refused to plead guilty to the Han court, let alone pay tribute apologize.Xian Yufu was very angry and planned to attack the Tu clan before the snow fell.
After much consideration, Li Hong decided to agree to Xian Yufu's attack request.Don't hurt the Tu various clans, once the army goes north to Youzhou next year, and he rebels again, he will look south from head to tail.
As soon as Babaili Kuaiqi left the camp, Li Hong received a military order from Shangshutai: "Assemble the army and garrison the Yellow River."
Li Hong turned pale with fright, rushed out of the big tent like flying, and shouted at the machete guarding outside the tent: "Quickly, lead someone to stop the Eight Hundred Li Kuaiqi, stop it immediately."
===
After receiving Li Hong's letter, Wang Han and Sang Yang rushed out of the city to Daying.
"When the two adults left Beijing, was there anything unusual in Beijing?"
Wang Han and Sang Yang were also very shocked when they saw the brief military order sent by Shang Shutai.
"An accident happened in Luoyang." Wang Han said in horror, "There must be a big accident in Luoyang. The military order issued by Shang Shutai was very hasty, and he didn't even say the reason for the assembly of the army. The matter seems to be very urgent."
"It's almost New Year's Eve, what else will happen in Luoyang?" Li Hong asked in bewilderment.
Sangyang's scalp was numb. He looked at Wang Han, moved his lips, and whispered, "My lord, is it the general..."
Wang Han lowered his head with pain on his face.He thought about it when he got the military order, but he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to think it.At this time, if the emperor and the general fight for the imperial lineage, the country is basically over.
Li Hong also thought about it, but he thought that he had already negotiated with the general in private, so this should not happen.Li Hong threw the military order in his hand onto the case table, feeling extremely frustrated.what to do?If Luoyang really becomes chaotic, should he send troops or not?What about Tuntian?What about counterinsurgency?What about northern Xinjiang?
Not half an hour later, the emperor's edict was delivered to the camp.
The emperor didn't say what happened in Luoyang in the edict, he just asked Li Hong to immediately assemble the army and wait for his order to go south to Beijing at any time.But the emperor's order is enough to explain the problem, and everyone in the tent knows that the emperor has already engaged with the general.What else can Li Hong's army do when it goes south to Beijing besides dealing with the Northern Army?
Xie Ming sighed and said: "It's over. The chaos in Luoyang, I don't know when it will be settled down. The matter of farming will be delayed, let alone going north to suppress the rebellion."
"There is a general in northern Xinjiang. Even if things are delayed for a few years, there is still a possibility of salvation." Sang Yang said with a wry smile, "But the chaos in Luoyang, the imperial power has been damaged, and the bureaucrats in the court are busy fighting among themselves. Take advantage of the opportunity to riot, and the big man is in danger."
"Save it?" Li Hong sneered, "What can I do to save it? There are turmoil in the Han Dynasty, and the people's livelihood is dying. Who is this salt and iron sold to? Where does the money come from? If Luoyang is in chaos, northern Xinjiang will be over."
"My lord, then you..."
Before Sangyang finished speaking, he suddenly saw Li Hong standing up murderously, so frightened that he quickly swallowed the rest of the sentence.
"Order Qu Yi, assemble the army, and immediately rush to Fenglingdu and cross the Yellow River." Li Hong said through gritted teeth, "The army will directly kill Luoyang, and anyone who rebels against the ministers or thieves will be killed."
"Rush to Handan with a fast ride of [-] li, and order Zhao Yun to go south quickly and head straight for Luoyang."
"Notify Xian Yufu to give up attacking the Tu various tribes, and ask Yan Rou to lead the army back to Longshan camp immediately."
"Tell Xiao Lan, immediately invite the boss to the Zhenbei General's headquarters to act as the Zhenbei General's military."
Xie Ming was shocked, and shouted: "My lord, Luoyang has fifty thousand northern troops."
"I want to see how many people from the Northern Army dare to kill me!" Li Hong left without looking back.
Outside the tent, the sound of ox horns soared into the sky.
"Master Wang, why don't you persuade General Li?" Sang Yang looked at Wang Han who was sitting silently, and asked loudly, "Do you want to watch the big man perish?"
"Kill!" Wang Han slapped the case suddenly, and shouted angrily, "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone should be punished. If we don't kill all these people who harm the country and the people, my country will not be destroyed today, but it will be destroyed tomorrow."
"Go, go to Luoyang!"
===
Thirteen thousand cavalry galloped along the road at full speed, and arrived at Pubanjin in the middle of the night.
General He Jin's letter was sent to Li Hong in a hurry.He Jin finally made it clear what happened in Luoyang. It was not that he threatened the emperor to establish an imperial order, but that the emperor and the middle officials wanted to kill him.
After listening to Li Hong's narration, Wang Han felt relieved.He wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile, shook his head and said, "This Cai Yong, it's crazy to cause such a big disturbance after returning to the capital. What is the general going to do?"
"I stationed troops on the Yellow River to prevent changes in Beijing." Knowing that nothing major happened in Luoyang, Li Hong also heaved a sigh of relief, and his emotions immediately relaxed, "Your Excellency, you should go back to Anyi. I will try my best to find a way to solve this crisis. Stabilize the situation in Luoyang."
Wang Han nodded and said with a smile: "The general loses his temper. It's scary, but I like it very much. General, you should be so imposing."
Li Hong laughed, bowed his hands and said goodbye to him, and led the army to continue to Fenglingdu.
When he arrived at Fenglingdu, Li Hong received a letter from Lu Zhi.
"My lord, why are you angry again?" Xie Ming saw that Li Hong's face was as frosty before he finished reading, so he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What did Lord Lu say in the letter?"
"He dares to threaten me." Li Hong smashed the bamboo slips to the ground, and said angrily, "He actually threatened me with a million refugees. Is this a celebrity in the world?"
===
In the morning of the next day, a joint letter from Taiwei Cao Song and Situ Xuxiang was sent to Fenglingdu Camp.
"Lianzhi, the situation in central Beijing really changes three times a day, making people dizzy." After reading it, Li Hong laughed, "Look, now Luoyang, except for the emperor and those damn middle officials, everyone else We have already teamed up. This famous scholar Cai is really the No. 1 scholar in the world, and there are so many people who want to save him."
Xie Ming smiled while reading the letter: "Of course, in the past 400 years of the Han Dynasty, how many famous people like Mr. Cai have been there? How can they be killed?"
"Lianzhi, when do you think the Son of Heaven will kill Cai Yong and force He Jin to take action?" Li Hong waited for Xie Ming to read the letter and asked casually.
"Last month, the Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday. He Jin planned to kill the traitor, but we destroyed it. I didn't expect his retribution to come soon. Now the emperor and the middle officials are going to kill him again. Haha, it's really interesting." Thank you Ming smiled and said, "The best chance to kill He Jin is during the first few days of the first lunar month. If He Jin doesn't enter the palace, he'll make excuses, and it's hard not to die, but if he enters the palace, it's over immediately , I guess I can only leave the North Palace with my head in my hands."
"If you do bad things, you will always be punished by the gods, and no one can escape." Li Hong laughed and said, "It is very difficult for Lord Taiwei and Lord Situ to rescue Cai Yong before the year, and there are not many days until the New Year. "
"Why, my lord wants to do it yourself?"
Li Hong smiled without saying a word.
"My lord, let me make it clear to you. The leading generals leave the station without permission to conspire with the rebellion. Anyone who breaks the law will kill the nine clans. You don't want to..."
"I know, I know." Li Hong hurriedly waved his hands, "Don't worry, I will never leave Beijiang."
"After crossing the Yellow River, you are no longer General Zhenbei, but an imminent crime." Xie Ming looked at him in disbelief, and said seriously, "This is not a joke."
Li Hong felt guilty when he showed him, nodded again and again, and changed the subject, "Why is there no news about Zhong Yuan?"
He was talking here, and Li Wei's letter arrived there.
In the letter, Li Wei explained the whole story in detail, and said that Cao Cao had made an agreement with him, and now he was waiting for Yuan Shao, the Sima of the General's Mansion, to come back.As soon as Yuan Shao came back, rescue immediately.Just one question, where did Cai Yong flee after being rescued?
Cai Yong caused such a big disaster in the capital, which brought catastrophe to all parties. Although all parties are trying to save him for different purposes, after being rescued, the crisis in Luoyang will be resolved. At that time, what should kill him will still kill him.As long as Cai Yong does not die in Luoyang, he has nothing to do with the powerful people in Luoyang, but if Cai Yong never dies, he has something to do with the powerful people in Luoyang. Cai Yong is a hidden worry in their hearts.Therefore, it is probably easy to rescue Cai Yong from Luoyang, but it is very difficult to ensure that Cai Yong is still alive and intact.
Li Hong had a headache.Li Wei What does this mean?Do I have to promise Cai Yong to live forever?How can I guarantee that he will always be alive?
"My lord, my lord Lu..."
"Don't mention him." Li Hong said unhappily, "When I mention him, I will get angry. I know that they are all kind-hearted, and they are all friends of Cai Yong. They all hope that I will take Cai Yong to Bingzhou, but they How can you threaten me? How can you threaten me with the lives of millions of refugees? Are millions of refugees not as good as one Cai Yong? Ordinary people’s lives are not their lives, are they grass or ants?”
"My lord, Mr. Lu may be in a hurry..."
"Don't talk about it. When Cai Yong arrived in Bingzhou, how can I explain to His Majesty? You know, as long as His Majesty opens his mouth, our agreement on salt and iron will be abolished. Compared with the millions of refugees in Bingzhou, his Cai Yong's life What is it?" Li Hong said loudly, "Reply to Li Wei, tell him not to get involved in this matter, and get out of here immediately."
"My lord, isn't a life a life?" Xie Ming knelt down and said excitedly, "My lord cherishes the life of every refugee and every soldier. Why can't you cherish Mr. Cai's life?"
"Lianzhi, get up for me." Li Hong slammed his desk and shouted loudly, "I will never agree, never."
===
When Li Wei received Li Hong's letter, his heart suddenly became cold.
He hurried to Zhu Jun's house and handed Li Hong's letter to Zhu Jun.
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Zhu Jun was speechless for a long time.
"Zhong Yuan, General Zhenbei is thinking about the survival of millions of refugees in Bingzhou. He is indeed not wrong, not wrong. If it were me, I would not agree." Zhu Jun smiled sadly and stopped talking.
Zhu Mu patted Li Wei lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving right away?"
"If I don't leave, I want to rescue Mr. Cai. Without him, how could Xiao Lan's engagement be broken? Just for this, I will save him."
Zhu Mu asked strangely, "Aren't you afraid that General Zhenbei will chop off your head?"
"It's okay. Your Excellency is very kind to his subordinates. As long as he is not corrupt and perverts the law, he will not punish him. He will only scold you." Li Wei said with a smile, "What do you mean? I want to go back and marry Xiao Lan. Do you want me to be punished?" Beheading?"
Zhu Mu laughed.
"Ding, can you follow me to Bingzhou?"
Zhu Mu looked at his father.
"You go, now, Beijiang needs people to serve the country." Zhu Jun nodded, "Besides, when Zhong Yuan and Xiao Lan got married, neither your mother nor I could go. If the eldest brother is a father, you have full authority." Let's deal with it."
===
Zhu Mu and Li Wei walked side by side in the garden, discussing where Cai Yong should go.
"Zhong Yuan, think about it carefully, under what circumstances would General Zhenbei agree to protect Mr. Cai?"
Li Wei said with a smile: "If Mr. Cai arrives in Bingzhou, it will help to farm, help to appease the refugees, and help the stability of northern Xinjiang. Your Excellency will definitely agree."
"Mr. Cai, a fugitive, has nothing to do with the stability of northern Xinjiang. You can really talk about it." Zhu Mu laughed, "Mr. Cai can neither be an official nor give lectures. He can only hide in a hidden place and play the piano..."
"Yes, yes..." Li Wei suddenly came to his senses, punched Zhu Mu hard, and shouted, "You are really a genius."
===
Xie Ming walked into the big tent lightly and sat beside Li Hong.
Li Hong looked up at him, pointed outside the tent and said, "If you want to talk about Cai Yong, go outside the tent and say it, I won't listen."
"My lord, I won't talk about it today." Xie Ming said with a smile: "Today I will tell you about opening a school in Bingzhou."
Li Hong suddenly became interested. He put down the paper in his hand and said, "Yes, you reminded me of that. Once the refugees in Bingzhou are full and warm, the next step is to let young people and Young children go to study classics and history, and learn to be human.”
Xie Ming smiled and said, "Your Excellency is biased when he says that. There are not only millions of refugees in Bingzhou, but also hundreds of thousands of barbarians. If we want to completely tame the barbarians, this education is a big deal."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Hong nodded again and again, cupped his hands in admiration and said, "Please speak, Lianzhi, please."
Xie Ming talked eloquently, and he talked endlessly about the idea of opening a school in Bingzhou and recruiting Han and beard children to study in the same class.Li Hong applauded the case, but then he sighed and said: "Lianzhi, your idea is good, but in a desolate place like northern Xinjiang, who wants to be a doctor who teaches here? Although you are all talented, you are all burdened. Heavy duty, no time to clone at all. Difficult."
Xie Ming said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you can offer a lot of money to recruit famous people from all over the world."
"Celebrities?" Li Hong sneered, "How many celebrities are willing to go to northern Xinjiang? They are all staying in Luoyang and waiting to become famous, and the glory of their ancestors."
Xie Ming said with a smile: "Your Excellency, can you invite celebrities from Border County? For example, Wang Jian, who is stable in the western border, do you still remember him?"
Of course Li Hong remembered that Li Wei was planning to send Fu Gan to study under Wang Jian's school. Wang Jian's father was the famous Confucian Wang Fu who wrote "On the Latent Fu".Li Hong asked in surprise: "I invite him, is Mr. Wang willing to come?"
"Your Excellency is now an important general in the Great Han Kingdom. He recruited Mr. Wang to open a school. It will benefit the country and the people. How could he not agree? Mr. Wang will definitely accept the recruitment."
Li Hong thought for a while, and said: "It's better to be cautious, so as not to be self-defeating. What am I? In their eyes, I am just a vulgar martial artist. When the matter in Luoyang is settled, I'd better ask the boss to come forward and invite me. "
"Is there anyone else like Mr. Wang? The more you invite, the better."
Xie Ming smiled and said, "Yes, for example, Mr. Cai..."
Li Hong finally understood that Xie Ming made such a big circle, and finally it was for Cai Yong.
"You boy, is this how you treat me?" Li Hong looked at the smiling Xie Ming, dumbfounded.
===
Seeing that Li Hong was not angry, Xie Ming knew that his persuasion had worked, and immediately explained: "Zhong Yuan sent me a letter asking me to persuade you again. He said that Mr. Cai could open classes when he arrived in Bingzhou. Future stability will go a long way, so..."
Li Hong thought for a long time, and said: "Let Zishan come, tell him to take the arc tripod, abandon the sink, and three hundred black panthers, and rush to Luoyang immediately to help Zhongyuan rescue Mr. Cai."
Xie Ming was overjoyed, leaned over to thank him and said: "Master Xie..."
"Lianzhi, okay, okay, I should be the one who should thank you." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "You are knowledgeable, proficient in political affairs, and have a long-term perspective. In this regard, I feel ashamed."
Yan Liang, Hu Ding and Qi Shen hurried to the big tent.Li Hong explained in detail what happened in Luoyang and how he might be hunted down after rescuing Cai Yong.
"Zishan, after leaving Luoyang, don't go to Hedong, but to Jizhou."
Yan Liang asked puzzledly: "My lord, after we rescued Mr. Cai, we were only four hundred miles away from the east of the river, and we arrived in no time. Why did we have to detour to Jizhou for thousands of miles?"
Li Hong smiled wryly, and said, "I need time to beg His Majesty to pardon Mr. Cai, I need time."
Xie Ming glanced at Li Hong guiltily, bowed his head and remained silent.It is indeed very difficult for Li Hong to get His Majesty, who is in a rage, to pardon Mr. Cai for his capital crime, but the risk is too great for Li Hong to directly hide Cai Yong who has committed a capital crime. Therefore, Li Hong could only use both soft and hard tactics to force His Majesty to accept the fact that Cai Yong had fled, forcing His Majesty to give up his idea of plotting to kill the General and attempting to reunite with the Emperor.
"I have already ordered Zhao Yun to go to Hanoi to meet you. After you leave Xingyang, immediately cross the Yellow River north and head north quickly. Remember, don't delay in Hanoi, let alone go to Yanzhou, understand?"
"Why did we go to Yanzhou?" Qi Chen said with a smile, "My lord is too worried."
"Mr. Cai's hometown is Chenliu. If he wants to go back and have a look, that bastard Zhong Yuan will definitely agree." Li Hong said, "This time he caused me a lot of trouble. I want him to look good when he comes back."
Then he took out a military order and handed it to Yan Liang, saying: "When you leave Hulao Pass, you will be in command, don't listen to Zhongyuan anymore, you understand?"
Yan Liang accepted the military order with a smile and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I'll tie him up when he gets out of the prison. If he talks nonsense again, I'll gag him."
Li Hongda laughed and said, "Zishan, I didn't ask you to do this. You should think about the consequences yourself. If Xiaolan finds out, you..."
Yan Liang chuckled and said, "Forget it then. By the way, my lord, when shall we go back to Bingzhou?"
"After receiving my order, you will protect Mr. Cai back. If you have enough time, you can go back to Changshan and bring your mother and two wives to Bingzhou."
===
Yuan Shao returned to Luoyang and immediately met with Cao Cao and Li Wei.The three discussed for two days, and after confirming that the rescue plan was foolproof, they immediately split up.
Although the officials also thought that someone might come to rescue Cai Yong and strengthened the guards in Beisi Prison, the combined strength of the three prefectures was too strong.On a morning when the north wind was howling, dozens of generals from the three prefectures headed by Yan Liang forced their way into Beisi Prison and rescued Cai Yong.With the tacit cooperation of all parties, Cai Yong escaped from Luoyang without any danger.
Four hundred black panthers guarded Cai Yong and his daughter Cai Yan and rushed towards Hulao Pass.The guard at Hulao Pass was a member of General He Jin, who turned a blind eye and let him go.
After leaving the tiger prison, Yan Liang immediately ordered the carriage to be abandoned, and Qi Shen carried Cai Yong on his back, and Li Wei carried Cai Yan on his back. Each of them had two horses, and they flew at Xingyang overnight at the fastest speed.
"Zishan, sir is tortured by eunuchs, and he can't stand such running around at all. You will kill him." Li Wei said loudly, "Mr. must take a carriage."
Yan Liang ignored him, handed Li Hong's military order to him, and said in a cold voice: "Listen to me now, you go and carry Mr.'s daughter, don't be wordy."
Li Wei was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he shouted angrily: "Sir, something will happen, go back and wait for death."
Yan Liang glared at him, and said: "My lord said, you caused him a lot of trouble this time, and he wants you to look good after you go back. Think about it yourself."
Li Wei felt a chill in his heart and became discouraged.
When he arrived in Xingyang, Cai Yong really asked to go home.He said he couldn't do it anymore, and if he could die in his homeland, he would die in peace, but Yan Liang didn't pay any attention to it, and only cared about galloping.
A group of people hurried across the Yellow River, turned around and ran towards Jizhou.
Suddenly, there was the sound of roaring horseshoes behind them, and a cavalry army flew towards them.
Black Panther Yicong was exhausted at this time, if he continued to run, he would not even have the strength to resist.Yan Liang decisively ordered to stop the advance and waited in line.
Holding a big knife in his hand, he galloped up to meet him.
The chasing cavalry army was about 2000 people. When they saw the black panther Yicong put down the formation, they stopped immediately.A tall and strong officer came on horseback with a halberd in his hand.
"Who is coming?"
"My subordinate, Lu Bu, pay my respects to the Captain."
