Zhao Kuangyi looked like a beggar and fell to the ground, almost fainting.
He reluctantly turned over, feeling sore in the muscles and bones all over his body.
"Brother!"
"Third uncle!"
Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao knelt beside Zhao Kuangyi and shouted in panic.
One of them is eleven years old and the other is eight years old. Although they are born in the general family, they are delicate and rich in body, far less brave and invincible than their brother and father Zhao Kuangyin.
Especially the appearance of Zhao Dezhao, who went with his mother He's family. He is not as tall and tall as Zhao Kuangyin at all, and is very thin.
In this situation, the two of them were completely helpless.
Thanks to Zhao Kuangyi's care along the way, everything he had to eat and drink was distributed to them, so much so that he almost couldn't support it anymore.
Historically, due to the relationship between imperial power, the relationship between Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao was not very good. However, before there was any dispute over imperial power, Zhao Kuangyi still had the responsibility of being an elder brother and uncle.
That night, Zhao Kuangyin decided to act hastily. The chance of winning was extremely slim, so he made two preparations.
On the one hand, he gave it a try, and on the other hand, he asked Zhao Kuangyi to take Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao to escape from the city.
Zhao Kuangyin was worried that his younger brothers were not good at martial arts, and Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao were too young to resist in danger, so he specially arranged for Liu Qingyi, one of the ten brothers in the charity society, and several old servants from his family who were highly skilled in martial arts to escort them.
Zhao Kuangyi's target was the Northern Han Dynasty, but they had nowhere to go except the Northern Han Dynasty.
Jiangnan and Bashu are too far away, and Li Jing and Meng Chang are two cowards.
Zhao Kuangyi felt that if he ran to these two places, let alone show off his talents. As long as Luo Youdu stamped his feet, they would have to arrest him and send him to Bianjing.
The Northern Han Dynasty had always been the enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the two sides fought almost every month around the border.
Li Jun, the military governor of Zhaoyi, has made many achievements in the Northern Han Dynasty in recent years, and his reputation in the border areas is comparable to that of Fu Yanqing and Wang Jing.
There was also a general who benefited from the Northern Han Dynasty, and Liu Jiye directly gained a reputation as Liu Invincible.
So Beihan is their only place to go.
They fled westward overnight and encountered trouble when they approached Mengjin Port.
After receiving the news that Zhao Kuangyi had absconded, Zhou Dynasty immediately sent people to various port passes to post notices and portraits, ordered sentries at various places to check passers-by, and offered generous rewards to capture Zhao Kuangyi and his party.
They were not allowed to cross the regular ferries across the Yellow River. The only places they could cross were some wild ferry boatmen or unguarded pontoons.
Moreover, they had no road guides and could not stay in villages and towns, so they slept in the wilderness every day.
Just as they were looking for a way to cross the Yellow River, Liu Qingyi became murderous.
Liu Qingyi is Zhao Kuangyin's best friend, and they had a very good relationship in the past.
Zhao Kuangyin entrusted his younger brother and son to his entrustment, but it was normal.
However, as the days became more and more miserable, Liu Qingyi couldn't stand it anymore.
Liu Qingyi served Zhao Kuangyin. He could die for Zhao Kuangyin, but it had nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei or even Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao.
Zhao Kuangyin is already dead, so where can I go with my martial arts skills?
Why should we suffer hardships with these Zhao family members?
Liu Qingyi took a sudden turn and killed all the old servants who were accompanying him.
Zhao Kuangyi knew that he was no match for Liu Qingyi, so he threw all his money and goods to Liu Qingyi in fear, and protected his younger brother Zhao Kuangmei. Zhao Dezhao begged Liu Qingyi to spare his life.
Seeing Zhao Dezhao shivering, Liu Qingyi couldn't bear to do anything, picked up all the money and ran away alone.
The main wanted persons in Dazhou are Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao.
Liu Qingyi, a little person, was not in the wanted portrait at all. He ran away blatantly.
As a result, Zhao Kuangyi became impoverished. Looking at his brother and nephew, he gritted his teeth and used hatred and humiliation as motivation. He led Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao to the river mouth east of Tongguan. They met an old man who was crossing the Yellow River privately, and forced him to send him there.
To the other side of the Yellow River.
In order not to expose his whereabouts, Zhao Kuangyi also killed the other party, stole the money and continued northward.
He took a younger brother and a nephew with him, lived in the open air, stole chickens and dogs along the way, and the most difficult time was sleeping in graveyards and eating grass roots. Finally, he entered the boundaries of the Northern Han Dynasty and arrived at a small place called Yindi south of Fenzhou.
The three brothers, uncle and nephew lost their way and came to a deserted land with no people and no water. After walking around for a long time, they could not see a single family or a river.
Under the scorching sun, Zhao Kuangyi collapsed from dehydration.
"Live, you must live!"
"Luo Youdu!"
"Liu Qingyi!"
"Zhang Qiong!"
"I'm going to chop you alive!"
Zhao Kuangyi supported his fat body and climbed up bit by bit.
Sitting on the ground, breathing heavily, it felt like smoke was coming out of my throat and it hurt to breathe.
Looking at the scorching sun in the sky, he didn't even have the strength to complain.
"I still can't pee, I really can't hold it any longer."
Zhao Kuangyi looked at his brother and nephew and saw that they all shook their heads. Guizhou Donkey was at his wits end.
Suddenly his expression changed suddenly, and when he looked north, he saw smoke and dust billowing, as if soldiers and horses were coming to kill the general.
Zhao Kuangyi was shocked and asked Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao to hide behind him, looking ahead in horror.
A cavalry team of 500 people came nearby. The leader was a man with a sinewy face and a tall and majestic man. He looked at the three people in front of him and said with a smile: "Three more heads, it didn't take much effort to get them!"
He turned over and dismounted, took out the sword from his waist, and walked towards Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei, and Zhao Dezhao with murderous intent.
Zhao Kuangyi saw their identities as Han soldiers and shouted in horror: "I am Zhao Kuangyi, my brother is Zhao Kuangyin, I want to see Emperor Liu."
The visitor was startled, spat on Zhao Kuangyi's face, and said with a ferocious smile: "Zhao Kuangyin, what the hell is Zhao Kuangyi? Is he the one who was shot into a hedgehog during the rebellion in the Central Plains? They say he is brave enough to be the best in the three armies, but that's not true.
If I, Hou Barong, really meet me, I will kill him with three swords and dismount him. You are a little pawn and you still want to see the emperor and the king of hell."
Hou Ba Rong was a native of Longgang, Dengzhou. In his early years, he was a thief between Bing and Fen, causing harm to his hometown. He was defeated by Liu Jiye and captured before Liu Chengjun, the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Liu Chengjun saw that Hou Ba Rong was very powerful and good at shooting, and he rushed forward like a galloping horse, so he collected him under his tent and served as a general to disperse.
There were constant wars on the border between the Han and Zhou dynasties, and Liu Jiye and Hou Barong often led their troops south to plunder.
Liu Jiye was a famous general of his generation. He used troops flexibly and often achieved miraculous results.
Hou Barong was brave and foolhardy, and his effect was far inferior to Liu Jiye's.
Hou Barong was so angry that he thought of killing good people and taking credit for their merits. Whether they were Han people or Zhou people, they all chopped off their heads to serve as the leader of thieves.
So much so that on the border between Zhou and Han, there were dozens of bones and bones and not a single living person within ten miles.
This also resulted in Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei, and Zhao Dezhao not even being able to talk to each other.
When Zhao Kuangyi saw Hou Barong approaching him ferociously, he was frightened. His aura suddenly flashed, he pointed at Zhao Dezhao and shouted: "He, he is Guo Zongxun, the eldest son of Emperor Guo of the Central Plains!"
Zhao Kuangyi heard the news that Guo Rong's princes were separated when he was absconding. He didn't know what the situation was. He didn't even know that Queen Fu had been rescued from the beginning. He really thought that Guo Rong's sons had beaten his brother.
Dispersed.
Now that he was about to be killed by a sword, if the name Zhao Kuangyin didn't work, then he would use the name Guo Rong.
It works wonders.
Hou Barong paused for a moment, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face. The situation was so great that they had many spies stationed in Bianjing, Luoyang and other places.
Major events such as Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion and the disappearance of the Zhou emperor's heir were known to everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Hou Barong looked at Zhao Dezhao.
Zhao Dezhao was also smart and said cautiously: "Family, my father, the Emperor of Zhou."
In an instant, Hou Barong walked back to the horse quickly, handed the water in his horse bag to it personally, and said: "Hou Barong has seen King Liang! Please drink water! Give the king a fan..."
He fanned Zhao Dezhao with his hand, his eyes rolled, and he thought to himself: "I was suppressed by Liu Jiye in the Han Dynasty and could not get over. It is better to take this Liang Wang to the Central Plains... to strive for great wealth. Without that Liu Jiye
Invincible, who is still my rival?"
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Liu Jiye approaching on horseback in the distance, and there was a wave of cavalry behind him. He secretly cursed: "Bad luck!"
He waved people to prepare some food for Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao.
Liu Jiye stopped his horse and said: "Li Jun has shrunk the front line, and there are no enemies around here. Let's withdraw to Jinyang for the time being..."
Hou Barong was unwilling to move and said: "Why? Liaozhou doesn't want it anymore?"
Liu Jiye said helplessly: "There is internal turmoil in the Central Plains. How can Li Jun have the heart to fight with us? Our national strength is limited, and we cannot bear the casualties in attacking Liaozhou. Let's go back to Jinyang."
During the Northern Expedition of the Zhou Dynasty, the Khitan sent troops to ask for help from Liu Chengjun.
Liu Chengjun sent Liu Jiye out of Jingxingguan to attack Hebei, killing Li Chongjin's general Cai Shenting and defeating him ten miles away.
But Li Jun, who was in Hedong, took advantage of Liu Jiye's attack on Hebei and suddenly went north to Liaozhou and captured Liaozhou by surprise.
Liu Jiye was originally in Hebei to contain Li Chongjin's army. When Liu Chengjun saw the fall of Liaozhou, he ordered Liu Jiye to withdraw to Hedong and attack Liaozhou.
Li Jun and Liu Jiye fought many times and knew that the Northern Han Dynasty had strong troops and Liu Jiye was extremely difficult to deal with because of his intelligence and bravery, so he huddled in Liaozhou City and could not leave.
Liu Jiye had no solution at all, and the two sides struggled for several months.
It was not until Zhao Kuangyin rebelled and changes occurred in Beijing that Li Jun left a force to garrison Liaozhou and led his troops to withdraw to Luzhou.
Liu Jiye knew that Hou Barong had committed evil deeds of killing good people and taking merit, so he was worried about leaving him here and wanted to take him back to Jinyang with him.
At this time, his eyes fell on Zhao Kuangyi and his party, and asked: "Who are they?"
Hou Barong knew that he could not hide it, so he pointed at Zhao Dezhao and said: "This is Liang Wang Guo Zongxun, the son of Emperor Guo of the Central Plains!"
Liu Jiye was instantly moved and hurriedly dismounted and said: "Liu Jiye has met King Liang." He was overjoyed and said: "Commander Hou, this is a great achievement..."
He was a decent man and did not like Hou Barong, but he was able to capture Chai Zongxun this time, which was great news for the Northern Han Dynasty.
Hou Barong was secretly anxious and chirping.
Liu Jiye was not convinced about Hou Barong's character and said with a smile: "I didn't get much credit from this expedition. I will take the glory with the commander. You and I will go back to Jinyang together."
Hou Barong had no choice but to ask his subordinates to protect Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao as they headed to Jinyang.
