The old emperor passed away, and the courtiers began to fight, which was something that everyone had already expected.

And Liu Xie, who has the right to inherit, fled Luoyang when the palace change happened under Zhang Rang's prior entrustment, and fled to your Lujiang territory not far away.

……

To be honest, when I heard this, those powerful princes in the north were already a little itchy with envy.

His grandma's, why are you all prefects, you can pick up such a big bargain?

Why should he be the first to run to your Lujiang River when he encounters danger?

None of the people present were idiots. Of course they knew how much influence such a little prince could have on the current situation during the turbulent period.

If the other party finally inherits the Datong, it will naturally be the work of the dragon, so there is no need to say more.

And even if the other party fails in the "election" in the end, the existence of a little prince is like a free card. No matter who wants to touch him, he must weigh whether the people in the clan's mansion agree or not, and whether the imperial power of the Han Dynasty agrees.

……

It can be said that after knowing what happened, especially after knowing that the little prince Liu Xie is in danger, these people immediately began to express their opinions to Zhang Yan...Of course, they may also express their opinions to Fushou.

As long as I behave positively now, after Liu Xie is rescued, the other party will say something nice to me beside Liu Xie's pillow, wouldn't it be easy to get promoted and get rich?

As for bandits... it's a big deal!

The few people present, including Kong Rong, who is the weakest, all looked full of fighting spirit at the moment. It seemed that they didn't pay attention to the Shanyue forces at all, and they didn't worry about the failure of their own rescue or the murder of the prince. Appear.

Together, the prefects of seven counties and counties plus a governor... If so many people can't solve Shanyue, I'm afraid the other party has already raised the flag to become independent, and there will be the same as now Hide in the southeast mountain area.

Not to mention anything else in these counties and counties, the population alone is probably several million in number. One mouthful of spit from each person can drown these people properly.

As for the little prince being in danger...

Cough cough, in fact, the probability of this happening is not very high.

……

And everyone is not too worried.

……

To put it bluntly, it would be best if the prince could be saved, but if he couldn't be saved... that was the prefect of Danyang's fault. They rescued him bravely, but when they arrived, they were already gone, and no one could blame them.

And from what Fushou said just now, after those Shanyue arrested them, they were all locked together... If there was any danger, it would have already happened, and there was no waiting for them to pass.

And if there is no danger to life...

Then it doesn't matter much.

Isn't it just that the prince was captured and lost some face... It's not their face that was lost.

Rather, in the eyes of these people, it is a good thing for Liu Xie to lose face in Shanyue and be bullied.

Only in this way can it reflect how important it is for them to rescue Liu Xie.

Only in this way can the future possible little emperors be grateful to them...

This is a real benefit, much more important than a good reputation.

……

In this way, under Zhang Yan's signal, the people who knew Shanyue's crimes immediately began to dispatch troops and generals, intending to rescue the future Han Xiandi, who is now King Chenliu and the little prince Liu Xie, from the hands of the thieves. come out.

This time the alliance was undoubtedly based on Zhang Yan's Lujiang army as the main force, but other northern princes also expressed their support for money and food, for fear that Zhang Yan would exclude himself.

As for Changsha County, thousands of miles away...

Sun Jian's method is even simpler.

……

"Brother De Mao, Changsha is far away. If I go back this time and turn back, something will happen to the little prince."

"Fortunately, my grandson has some kung fu in his hands. Why don't you just find me some positions in your army so that I can do my best as a courtier's loyalty?"

……

I have to say that Sun Jian is no worse than his youngest son Sun Quan when it comes to shamelessness.

Zhang Yan even had a feeling that Sun Quan's shrewdness in the political field was probably learned from his father Sun Jian.

Sun Ce and Sun Quan...these two happened to have one literary and one martial arts, and they inherited Sun Jian's advantages.

And Zhang Yan and Sun Jian are now in the honeymoon period...

Zhang Yan had no choice but to hand over one of the three soldiers and horses to Sun Jian in name.

As for myself, with the other two soldiers and horses, 6 people rushed out towards Danyang County in the east with great fanfare...

……

……

……

Leaving aside Zhang Yan's actions for the time being, in Danyang County at this moment, a boy who is only eight or nine years old is sitting in a cave with his knees hugged, looking at the noisy outside of the cave with some ecstasy. scene.

……

"I'm Liu Xie."

"I'm eight and a half years old."

"It's the prince of the big man."

……

In the cave, apart from Liu Xie, there were hundreds of people gathered in a mess, some of them were still strong, and they kept yelling in the crowd.And more people were lying in the corner of the cave humming with a look of weakness.

Many of these people have children of the same age as him, and most of them follow behind their family members with a crying look.

But Liu Xie was different. He just sat silently near the entrance of the cave, looking out through the fence, looking a bit out of place.

……

"Last month, my father, who had always been good to me, passed away. I was very sad."

"I know that my father has always wanted me to inherit his position, because although I am young, I am mature and stable, which is different from my good-for-nothing brother who has no emperor's dignity and only knows how to laugh and scold."

"But due to the pressure from the courtiers, especially the pressure from the great general He Jin, my father failed to make me the crown prince until his death—of course, he didn't make anyone else the crown prince either."

"It's making it difficult for me."

……

Looking at the outside with ecstasy, it is now afternoon, and Liu Xie can clearly see the bustling scene in the cottage outside the cave.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of thieves dressed in ethnic minorities are speaking incomprehensible words, resting, chatting and celebrating in various places in the village.

They seem to have robbed another passing caravan today, not to mention getting a lot of money and food, and captured a child from a wealthy family...

The first son, the kind used to inherit the family lineage.

As long as they asked that person to send a letter to his family, the other family would be willing to pay a lot of money to buy the hostages—afterwards, they would be wiped out by tens of thousands of thieves hiding in the mountains and forests, and they would lose their money and people.

……

When did this big man become like this?

This is tens of thousands of thieves!

At the peak of the Yellow Turban, there were only 10,000+ people, right?

What is the prefect of Danyang doing?

What is the governor of Yangzhou doing?

Are you all eating rice?

Liu Xie didn't quite understand.

……

"Following the advice of the great eunuch Zhang Rang, Shouniang and I fled eastward all the way, and then left the north by boat, arrived in Wu County, Yangzhou, and then rushed to Lujiang County where his adopted son Zhang Yan is located."

"According to what he said, when we get to Lujiang, his adopted son will protect us... At the same time, he won't be like other officials in the court, who talk about respecting the emperor, but actually do those dirty things. "

"Who knows?"

"Maybe Zhang Yan is similar to a court official. Maybe when he arrives in Lujiang, the other party will put him under house arrest, just like what the former court minister Wang Yun and others wanted to do."

"It's that these things don't matter anymore."

……

Somewhat fearfully tightened his clothes, Liu Xie then sighed.

Yes, whether he can reach Lujiang Capital smoothly is another matter.

On the way west following the merchant gang, he was snatched away by this group of powerful and frightening thieves.

Although he didn't suffer any actual harm afterwards... but the royal family became prisoners, which made Liu Xie feel extremely uncomfortable.

who is he?He is the second prince of the big man!

But now, he can only be locked up with the common people like a useless person, without any dignity at all...

Looking outside the cave again, seeing the "prosperous" scene in the cottage, Liu Xie silently closed his mouth.

……

During the few days when he was plundered, he saw many things that he couldn't see in the palace, and also suffered a lot of humiliation.

——At least, for a prince, this is considered a great humiliation.

The raping and plundering of these thieves, as well as their crimes, are things that Liu Xie could not experience when he was in the palace.

And now...

Liu Xie has recognized the reality.

If there is a chance... If he can ascend to the throne in the future, he must wipe out all these local forces as soon as possible.

You know, this is still in Danyang!

Although it is not the hinterland of Dahan, it is also the place where Dahan clearly understands that Baili County has set up a county!

Within the territory of the Great Han, there are still tens of thousands of thieves doing evil...
