Let's say that Zhao Yun had sent someone to keep a secret eye on him since he had suspicions.
When he escorted Yan Qing to the council chamber in the daytime, it was not impossible for him to speak up during that time, but he hesitated and chose to remain silent for the time being.
It was not just that he had always been prudent and careful, but that he was unwilling to believe that he had any treasonous intentions without seeing any real evidence, having worked with him for many years.
They were also worried about the possibility of killing innocent people or alerting the police by telling them too early.
When he put aside the idea of telling Yan Qing and returned to the barracks, he received a report from the soldiers he sent to spy, that there were suspicious soldiers and horses in the Changsha area, and without saying a word, he ordered hundreds of cavalrymen, and was about to go there to find out what was going on.
When he ran all the way to Changsha, the surrounding mountains and forests are dark, but those military tents are empty, no silhouettes, and then his heart sank, where he did not know that he was afraid that he had already been trapped!
Sure enough, he wanted to quickly lead the people to turn back to the horse, but not a few steps, the horse's feet were stumbled by the barbed wire, and because of the dim light, can not see the foot buried traps, under the presumption of action, it is a few people muffled grunts fell off the horse.
Both blame his own eagerness to catch the thief, and by colleagues or rebels disturbed mind, but also he never thought that just informed the troops of the place of the soldiers, but was actually bought, and was ordered to deliberately lead him to this!
The soldier who had been leading the way ahead had disappeared after leading them into the trap.
Although he knew that this trip was probably a disaster, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all, holding a sharp silver snatch, his eyes shining with murderous intent, he raised his voice and shouted, "Which despicable villain is it that doesn't dare to show up until now, ashamed to fight with me, Changshan Zhao ZiLong!"
Shortly after the words fell, they saw the fire light abandoned in all directions, and the soldiers diving in the shelter lit up torches dipped in bundled grease, surrounding the trapped Zhao Yun and the others tightly.
The leader's helmet was blood red, white armor was bright, and he also held a long snatch, which was Ma Chao Ma Meng Qi who had been trained in Zhao Yun's army.
It is no wonder that he was able to gain access to his own soldiers to the point where he managed to buy off one of the key men and then lure him into a trap.
Zhao Yun calmly thought about this, more than his own safety, he was more concerned about who the mastermind behind this was.
Ma Chao's mutiny could only barely be described as unexpected and reasonable.
Zhao Yun was his marshal, contact quite a lot, view his usual performance peacefully and naturally, has been thoroughly integrated into the barracks, and because of the sensitive identity, can only live in the micro-position, it is really difficult to keep a vigilant mind at all times on the robes and zees.
The only person who can move Ma Chao is Ma Teng, the warlord of Xiliang, who is also his father.
Zhao Yun's thoughts coincided with Yan Qing's analysis, and it immediately occurred to both of them that Ma Chao's role alone would be impossible to
And the reason why he was dragged to this place, and did not rush to kill, either because of the fear that the clanging and killing sound of the clash of arms would attract the attention of the sentries; or laying this trap was a temporary necessity, and in the way of preparation was too hasty, so he could only trap him in this place, delaying the time, and so that he could be in the darkness of some other place.
Zhao Yun preferred the latter.
Ma Chao is leading more than a thousand foot soldiers, the number of soldiers is only slightly superior, the military appearance is not stronger than Zhao Yun's temporary point of five hundred elite, even if they fall into the trap, the action is impeded, can be reckless to abandon the horse, line out of the circle to do the flat ground to meet the attack, but also can be a battle of two losses.
The only thing that puzzled him the most was that they were all holding bows and arrows in their hands, but Ma Chao, who was the main general, had somehow delayed in giving the order.
After the thought of electricity, Zhao Yun face a calm, only Xu Xu escaped a breath, indifferently said: "Lord treats you well on weekdays, you are so return?"
The firelight jumped slightly, Ma Chao face color also followed to become dark and unknown, heard did not show disdain, complacency, or annoyed mood, only hard to explain: "for the son of a man, eat Han Lu, human righteousness, ZiLong generals will be able to sympathize with Chao's difficulties--"
Zhao Yun interrupted without mercy, "I can't."
Macho: "......"
Zhao Yun gazed at the mute Ma Chao with an incomparably cold gaze, and said forcefully, "Lord treats Yun's favor as heavy as a mountain, and Yun can't repay it even if he dies ten thousand deaths, so how can you and other recurring villains understand it!"
At this point, it is already a poor dagger, Zhao Yun decisively nicked the snatch and shouted: "The whole army listen to orders! Follow me, Zhao Zi Long, to stand out from the siege, no delay!"
Without any hesitation, he abandoned his mount which had become a burden, and took the lead in stepping on the spiked wooden tsubo, and even when he was drenched in blood, he seemed not to be afraid at all, and he raised his snatch to knock down the many arrows that were shot at him, and at the same time, he guided the 500 soldiers that he brought with him to kill towards the outer circle in a rainbow-like manner.
While Zhao Yun was fighting with a will to die, Lu Bu was also in the lead, leading a number of men and horses in the outskirts of Xu County.
Of course, he is not only rely on his own personally led by this unit, but before leaving the city formally under the orders of all the soldiers in Xu County will be divided into more than 20 roads, leaving only Jia Yan Zhang Liao with the remaining 10,000 town guards the city, the rest of the four scattered to look for.
The effect is very significant - although the other party is planning for a long time, and enough to hold back, but first due to or by Zhao Yun noticed and was forced to act earlier, and then did not think that Yan Qing is so delicate and keen mind, revealing the foot in the haste, it is too late to cover up too much.
And in finding at an absolute disadvantage with Ma Chao fought hundreds of times, despite all the scars, but the will to fight is still full of incredible, froze until the arrival of reinforcements to really fall, dying dying Zhao Yun before, but the first to be caught, but along the sneak in the Empress Palace dug out of the tunnels escaped from Xu City, gray face of the little emperor and his entourage.
Although Yan Qing guessed that what they were trying to do was not small, he really didn't think that the real purpose was to conceal the little emperor from the world and smuggle him out.
To really let them go into, fall into the hands of Liu Yan, said not shake their fundamentals, but will also create no small trouble.
Not long after the blood of the Han loyalists removed through the Clothesline Edict last time had dried up, a new crop of loyalists for the country sprang up again.
However, the Han room has lost power for too long, Lu Bu in power has become a foregone conclusion, in the old generation, leaving the brand of loyal Han recommending the country is still relatively profound, and in the generation of Zhuge Liang Lu Xun, I am afraid that has been faded will be no trace.
Yan Qing to these people at all costs of death also want to maintain the royal family orthodoxy although disdain, but they do not have a real evil feeling, but the liquidation, but also will not be merciful and soft is it.
The root of the problem is that each is a different person with different beliefs.
May be less Li Guo and other people chaotic martial arts in charge of that part of the humiliation of the sharpening, Yan Qing saw this Liu Xie, not even as good as the one written in the history - although also the same thin grace and justice, at least there is some compassion for the people's heart.
But in any case, he was only sixteen years old, and his survival environment often went to extremes, so there was no excuse for his character to be a bit more biased.
The real mediocrity, loyalty and treachery, is his father Emperor Han Lingdi, Liu Xie actually did not enjoy how long honor and glory, but have to pay back the father's faults.
Yan Qing was slightly saddened and sympathetic to Liu Xie's situation, but that was all.
And Liu Xie at first was really scared sick by Yan Qing's unpredictable and ruthless methods, but also his high fever for several days, nearly lost his life in the eyes of Empress Fu's tragic situation, straight to make her unbearable, bitterly begged his father Fu Wan to enter the palace, so that he could witness the fear and humiliation suffered by the titular Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty.
The noble blood that should have been honored was dying and murmuring, and it was a scene that would have produced intolerance in even the most hard-hearted man.
And Fu Wan heart is always loyal to the Han Dynasty, before the heart of self-preservation prevailed, Fang did not directly involved in the matter of the Clothesline edict, this time also determined, even if it can not support the orthodoxy, eradication of traitors, but also to save the emperor out of the depths of the fire.
At this time, Liu Yan, who had successfully reached an alliance with Ma Teng and Han Sui, also secretly contacted Cui Yan, and through this, convinced some people in charge of the jade seal of Fu Bao Lang, and the two groups of people hit it off immediately, and decided to dig tunnels to send the empress out of the palace, which was already full of Lu Bu's henchmen and was heavily guarded, and then hurriedly fled to the west of Yizhou.
If the sick and drowsy Liu Xie knows, his eyes suddenly become loyal and reliable Han clan, in fact, with the harm he fell into such a situation of Ma Teng and other people for the alliance, it is not possible to say will have to reconsider one or two.
He had no way of knowing, however, and when he heard of this glimmer of hope after his health was getting better, he was too busy to oblige.
But they alone, want to completely conceal the palace ears and eyes, is also extremely difficult thing, if the leakage of half a bit of information, can completely provoke Lu Bu, so that the last group of Han loyal and good people to die for this.
After or Xu Shu to do the ranger to know a former friend happens to be serving in the dynasty, thinking that he may still have the will to repay the Han, they thought of a way, first let Liu Yan sent troops to capture Xu Shu mother, and then by the emperor to write a letter accusing Lu Bu notorious evil deeds of the blood, so both hard and soft tactics, will be called to the filial son of the assistance.
Things did, indeed, develop as they should.
Although Xu Shu is far away from Yangzhou, he is very senior and trusted by Lu Bu. With him sending people to cover up for him, even Yan Qing, as cunning as he is, has not been able to notice a single thing.
If it wasn't for the fact that after the tunnels were quickly dug, some of their people inevitably slacked off a bit, inadvertently revealing some traces and making Zhao Yun, the most meticulous of Xu Cheng's army, suspicious.
That's why they panicked and had to push through their plan, and it was a lost cause.
Now the soldiers of Yizhou who were to receive their party were killed by Lu Bu's men in the twinkling of an eye. When the tall and majestic Red Hare came in front of Liu Xie, who was shivering from the cold wind and covered with dust and dirt, he finally could not help but cover his face with his sleeve and burst into tears under the endless despair and fear of death.
Lu Bu turned a blind eye to these ministers who knew that they would surely die, but instead looked at death as if they were at home, and only spared the last of their strength to swear at him, and only looked indifferently out of the corner of his eye at Liu Xie, and calmly asked, "Why did Your Majesty come out of the palace in the middle of the night?"
Liu Xie sobbed without answering.
Queen Fu collapsed and pointedly said, "You traitors will not be allowed to die for deceiving your superiors!"
Lu Bu was scolded, the one who reacted the most to this was Yan Qing. Because they still need to be tortured from their mouths to find out the details and other soldiers who are still lurking, they are still useful, so they will not be killed for the time being, and only commanded the soldiers to rudely drag them away one by one and lock them up, and soon only the emperor and the empress two people remain.
Empress Fu cursed in agitation, but Yan Qing only smiled blandly, "What's a sinful woman talking too much about? Drag her down and imprison her first."
Even though Lu Bu has the intention of being an insubordinate, he has saved the emperor's life many times, but it is a fact. If not for Lu Bu, the smart Liu Xie would have died many times and would not have been able to live in luxury and dream of a better life.
The historical Cao Cao once proudly said, "If there were no Cao in the world, I don't know how many people would be kings or emperors," which is also extremely applicable to Lu Bu.
If the emperor is not wise, how can he expect the people to be obedient?
The Han family owed the world a heroic lord, while Liu Xie owed Lu Bu several lives.
As soon as Yan Qing's words fell, Empress Fu was dragged away by soldiers covering her mouth.
Lu Bu continued to press Liu Xie and repeated, "Why is Your Majesty here?"
See around in addition to like a wolf like a tiger Lu Bu potential under the pawns, is left alone, and is a description of the woeful, disgraced, the plan has been exposed, there is no hope of escaping, Liu Xie heard trembled a tremble, tearful and forced a smile: "I do not know."
If he can still have some bearing, will be this thing to recognize, or try to intercede on behalf of those who were born to die for him, Lu Bu can still be a little higher look at him.
As a result, Liu Xie, fearing that he was really killed by Lu Bu, even opened his eyes and refused to admit it.
Not as backbone as a woman like Empress Fu.
Lu Bu secretly held Yan Qing in his arms a little tighter and pivoted his horse back, while lightly saying, "In that case, then please have Your Majesty take care of the dragon's body and return to the palace as soon as possible."
Author's Note: Actually, this was supposed to be a big high. In my imagination, Yan Qing would not have found out so early, and there would have been more people involved, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Gao Shun would have had to die ......
But after writing and deleting and deleting, I changed the idea and couldn't be bothered to do so.
History has been so brutal, fiction would be better.
But with you guys watching, it might be a bit of a tiger's tail ......
