Chapter 122: Chaos in the Palace, Dong Zhongying, Mangshan Rescue
Outside the palace, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao waited for a long time and did not see him in and out of the palace.
Cao Cao said anxiously: "The general may be unexpected, and we still need to think of a way."
Yuan Shao smiled and said, "What's the difficulty?" Then he ordered the soldiers to shout in the palace, "Please leave the general and ask the general to leave the palace."
At this time, Zhang Rang and others appeared on the palace wall with He Jin's head.
Zhang Rang said, "He Jin has been killed, you will leave quickly."
"What?" Yuan Shao was shocked and then shouted angrily: "The eunuch party killed the general. All the soldiers and I broke through the palace gate, killed the eunuch party, and avenged the general."
"Avenge the general!" Cao Cao was also furious and pulled out his weapon and roared.
Then, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao took the palace gate while the palace guards were unprepared.
Yuan Shao took the lead and entered the palace. Zhang Rang saw that things were not enough and slipped into the palace, and led the young emperor Liu Bian and King Chenliu Liu Xie to escape from the palace from the small gate. Yuan Shao led his troops into the palace and ordered all eunuchs and others to kill them.
For a moment, there were shouts of killing in the palace, and it instantly turned into a purgatory on earth. Thousands of eunuchs of all sizes fell under Yuan Shao's butcher knife. The storm inside and outside the palace suddenly changed color, and the people did not dare to wander around the streets and kept their doors away.
The Eight Schools in Xiyuan kept shuttled through the streets of Luoyang. Anyone who had something to do with the eunuch party was killed. Crying, begging for mercy, and laughter were intertwined in the air, making the people of Luoyang deeply remember this bloody night.
In the palace, soldiers came to report that they could not find Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and even the young emperor Liu Bian and King Chenliu Liu Xie were not found.
At this time, Cao Cao rode a horse and led more than a hundred cavalrymen to Yuan Shao and said, "Benchu, why are you still here? Zhang Rang took the Shao Emperor and King Chenliu from the palace and fled westward."
Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this and chased Cao Cao out.
Zhang Rang was in a panic and ran to the vicinity of Beimang Mountain to the north of Luoyang. As the saying goes, Yuan Shao and others also came to the boundary of Beimang Mountain by chance.
The two men were separated by several miles, but they did not know that the other party existed. At this time, a man suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Rang and others. When approaching, Zhang Rang finally saw the banner of this man, which was the man of Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo.
Speaking of which, after receiving the message from He Jin, Dong Zhuo took his three thousand iron horses to Luoyang without stopping, but was led by his subordinates to the wrong way and came to Beimang Mountain. At this time, Dong Zhuo did not know that he had taken the wrong way. He suddenly saw a fire in front of him and quickly ordered the entire army to surround him.
When he saw that it was Zhang Rang, Dong Zhuo immediately laughed and said, "Where is Mr. Zhang going?"
Zhang Rang's face changed, and then he thought that he could use Dong Zhuo's power to return to the court, and said anxiously: "It turned out to be Dong Liangzhou in front of him. This marquis asked for help from Dong Liangzhou. After the matter was completed, our family would have a generous gift."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Rang pointed to the carriage and said, "He Jin raised an army to rebel, and was discovered by our family and planned to kill him. However, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others under his command were all tigers and wolves. They broke through the palace. We couldn't bear to see the young emperor and Chenliu King being persecuted, so we took the young emperor and Chenliu King to escape here. The carriage was filled with the young emperor and Chenliu King."
Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, then laughed endlessly, thinking that he was really favored by God and actually met Zhang Rang. This Zhang Rang actually hosted the Young Emperor Liu Bian and King Chenliu Liu Xie. Now it was his turn to develop the Dong family.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo rode forward and came to the carriage and whispered loudly: "The old minister, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou, came to rescue the carriage late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."
Zhang Rang's face suddenly turned pale and he said tremblingly: "Dong Liangzhou, didn't you come to Luoyang at our invitation?"
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "A few days ago, General He Jin secretly recruited me to lead troops to Luoyang to kill the eunuch party. The governor of this state came to respond. Because I had some friendship before, the governor of this state gave you a considerate way of death. How would Mr. Zhang die if he wanted?"
After hearing this, Zhang Rang shook like a sieve. The eunuchs around the carriage were all magnanimous, for fear of causing Dong Zhuo to be displeased, and they killed everyone. Then they knelt down like little chickens, pitiful. Only Zhao Zhong was calm, and he said, "Mu of Dongzhou, how can you let me go?"
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "You are hijacking the Young Emperor and King Chenliu, but now I am intercepted by me, Dong Zhuo. This is a great contribution. Do you think I will give up?"
Zhao Zhong's face changed, and then he said in a deep voice: "We will give all the property in our family to Dong Liangzhou, and I hope to let me wait for a horse."
Dong Zhuo said disdainfully: "Haha, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Your home is afraid of being visited by the soldiers in the West Garden several times!"
Zhao Zhong tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and asked, "Dong Liangzhou will definitely not let me wait, right?"
Dong Zhuo nodded without saying a word, his meaning was clear without saying a word.
"Catch them, catch them..."
"I saw a fire in front of me. It must be Zhang Rang and others, and the soldiers followed me to chase..."
"Haha...Look at where Zhang asked them to run?"
At this time, a burst of shouts came from the direction of Luoyang in the distance. Zhao Zhong and others looked up and saw that the West Garden cavalry had arrived.
Dong Zhuo frowned and shouted: "Soldiers, take down this group of eunuchs with me. If there are any resistance, they will be killed without mercy."
After hearing this, the soldiers of Liangzhou under Dong Zhuo pulled their swords forward. Seeing this, Zhao Zhong turned around and jumped into the river beside him. When Zhang Rang saw Zhao Zhong jumping into the river, he also gritted his teeth and jumped into the river. Some eunuchs followed suit after seeing this.
But some people were still unable to jump or dared to jump, and were killed by soldiers from Liangzhou who rushed to the front and were chopped to the ground.
Dong Zhuo immediately stepped forward and lifted the curtain. He saw the two children in the car tremblingly hiding in a corner, hugging each other, and looking at Dong Zhuo in horror.
Dong Zhuo grinned and said, "My minister, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou, has met Your Majesty, King Chenliu."
The young emperor Liu Bian was timid and afraid of things. At this time, he was so scared that he could not speak. Only King Liu Xie, who was younger than him, was braver. He said to Dong Zhuo: "Dong Aiqing has made contributions in saving the emperor, and he also asked Dong Aiqing to escort the king and His Majesty back to the Luoyang Palace. There will be a heavy reward at that time."
When Dong Zhuo saw Liu Bian vulgar, he felt a little contempt in his heart. However, since Liu Xie spoke, Dong Zhuo looked at him a few more times and said, "That's natural. The old minister will definitely send His Majesty and King Chenliu back to the palace safely."
At this time, Yuan Shao and others led their troops to arrive, and Yuan Shao asked loudly: "Where are you soldiers? How dare you rob the emperor's car? You are really brave."
Dong Zhuo came out of the carriage and looked at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "The governor of the state led his troops to Beijing to kill the eunuch party, and passed here to save the emperor and King Chenliu who were kidnapped by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. Don't turn the black and white!"
Yuan Shao had actually seen Dong Zhuo's flag. He just asked the question knowingly and took the lead, but he met the more experienced Dong Zhuo. He smiled and said, "It turned out to be Dong Liangzhou. I thanked Dong Liangzhou for saving His Majesty. However, protecting the safety of the emperor is the responsibility of my Xiyuan soldiers. Moreover, the Luoyang eunuch party has been killed by our Xiyuan soldiers. Dong Liangzhou also asks to bring troops back."
Dong Zhuo would not hand over the emperor to Yuan Shao, but he said, "Justice had ordered me to escort him back to Luoyang Palace. Please go back. With my Liangzhou soldiers here, I will definitely be able to protect the emperor."
When Liu Bian in the carriage heard that Yuan Shao was going to escort them, he was frightened and said, "Person Yuan, please come back. It is enough to have Dong Liangzhou escort me back." This chaos in Luoyang was caused by Yuan Shao and others. Liu Bian did not dare to let him escort him. He immediately ordered Dong Zhuo's general. Unfortunately, what Liu Bian didn't know was that Dong Zhuo, who was standing in front of him at this moment, was even more terrifying than Yuan Shao.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "I heard it at first, go back quickly, just have my Liangzhou soldiers here."
Yuan Shao was also stunned. He didn't expect that he was not as savage as Dong Zhuo in Liu Bian's heart, but how could he miss this great opportunity? He said, "In this case, then my soldiers in Xiyuan will set the way for His Majesty, and Dong Liangzhou will be responsible for His Majesty's safety."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "That's fine."
