It's a pity that Liu Xie was so frightened that he couldn't answer Tian Feng's question at all. Tian Feng frowned and turned to ask the soldiers around him. In fact, these soldiers didn't know what happened.
, they just heard Liu Xie keep calling for escort, and then they gathered around. It seems that the only ones who can answer their questions are the soldiers in the mountain temple in front!
Frowning tightly, Tian Feng walked forward quickly. Although he didn't know what happened, Tian Feng still felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. When Tian Feng pushed aside the soldiers blocking the entrance of the mountain temple,
Just when he was about to ask, his eyes suddenly widened and he just stood there blankly because he had already seen Jushou lying in a pool of blood!
Tian Feng and Jushu have been close friends for many years. Tian Feng was under Yuan Shao's tent, while Jushou was under Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou at that time. After Yuan Shao captured Jizhou, it was Tian Feng's persuasion that convinced Jushou to join him.
He served under Yuan Shao. After that, Tian Feng offended Yuan Shao by admonishing him, and Jushou was angered by Yuan Shao because he wanted to intercede for Tian Feng. They were both sent to Yuan Shao. Later, Tian Feng and Jushou were both emperors at the same time.
He had been lurking for more than ten years! In fact, Tian Feng knew very well that Jushou was not as loyal to the Han Dynasty as he was.
Any lord can be reused! Therefore, over the years, Tian Feng has always felt guilty about Jushu. After rescuing the emperor this time, Tian Feng also made up his mind early on, waiting for the emperor to regain power in the future.
I must abdicate and give up my position as the leader of officials to Jushou!
But now, in Tian Feng's eyes, his friend was lying in a pool of blood, lifeless. Tian Feng was stunned for a long time, and finally let out a exclamation, and rushed directly to Ju Shou's side.
He started crying: "Gongyu! Gongyu! Wake up! Gongyu!"
It's a pity that Jushou is completely out of breath now, and he still maintains the same appearance as before his death, with his eyes wide open and his face full of shock and resentment. Tian Feng burst into tears and gently touched Jushou's eyes with his hands, thinking
He wanted to close Jushou's eyes, but found that he could not help Jushou close his eyes no matter what.
"Aren't you going to die in peace?" Tian Feng became even more saddened by Ju Shou's appearance. He suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily at the surrounding soldiers: "What's going on? Why did Lord Ju die? Who did it?"
When Liu Xie used Ju Shou as a shield, many of the soldiers around him saw it. However, Liu Xie was the emperor. How could these soldiers dare to speak ill of Liu Xie? After hesitating for a moment, he finally replied: "Master Tian
!Master Ju was hit by a cold arrow suddenly shot from the cave! But after so long, there was no response from the cave!"
Taking a deep breath, Tian Feng was worthy of being a first-class wise man. Although he was sad in his heart, he still suppressed the pain in his heart, wiped away the tears on his face, stood up and looked at the dark hole.
He shouted: "The enemy should be chasing us! In this case, it means that Xu Gongming has failed! The opponent's arrow should be just a test! You must destroy this hole immediately! We are ready to retreat!"
Knowing that there is an enemy and still fighting with them is the act of a reckless man. Tian Feng is a wise man, not a reckless man, so naturally he would not do such a stupid thing. Even if he ordered two sergeants to lift up Jushu's body,
He glanced at the dark cave entrance with hatred on his face, then turned around and left the mountain temple. At this time, outside the temple, Liu Xie was still in panic under the protection of the sergeants. Although Tian Feng felt sorry for Liu Xie in his heart,
Dissatisfied, but out of loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Tian Feng still took a few steps forward, clasped his fists at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty! The pursuers have arrived! We must retreat immediately!"
"Retreat? Yes! Yes! Retreat!" Liu Xie was already frightened at this moment. The word "retreat" was like a sound of nature to him. He nodded in agreement and said to Tian Feng: "Tian Aiqing, everything here is controlled by
You just take command! Let’s, let’s retreat quickly!”
In fact, even if Liu Xie didn't say so, the command power is still in the hands of Tian Feng. Compared with the emperor who met for the first time, the rebel soldiers probably still trust Tian Feng more. Tian Feng bowed to Liu Xie, and then
He waved his big hand and shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Everyone obeys the order and retreats to the southeast!" As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, there was a roar from the mountain temple.
The secret passage has a mechanism already set up. As long as the mechanism is touched, the exit of the secret passage will collapse in an instant, blocking the exit.
With Tian Feng's order, the more than 10,000 rebel soldiers immediately set off, preparing to rush toward the southeast. Not long after Tian Feng left with the rebel army, a group of troops also hurried from the direction of Chang'an.
When they arrived here, the leading warrior was none other than Luo Gan, the eldest son who had been left by Luo Yang in Chang'an to take charge of all matters!
Looking at the mountain temple that was already in a mess, Luo Gan couldn't help but waved his fist in annoyance. When he learned that the enemy had unexpectedly raided the palace through a secret passage, Luo Gan was also frightened and almost didn't lead the troops himself.
The soldiers and horses entered the palace. However, it was later learned that under the plan of Zhang Hu and others, all the soldiers and horses that invaded the palace had been wiped out. But the problem was that the emperor, all the princes, and the princess had disappeared! Together with the only ten people who stayed in the palace,
When the first prince Liu Ze and the thirteenth princess Liu Xing talked about the emperor's strange orders, Luo Gan immediately judged that all of this was premeditated by the emperor! Immediately, Luo Gan no longer delayed, and first dispatched the black team of Jin Yiwei.
Pursuing from the secret passage, it was a pity that although the soldiers and horses of the black team chased to the exit of the secret passage, they found that there were enemy soldiers and horses everywhere outside the secret passage. If they rushed out like this, they would undoubtedly die, so they had no choice but to shoot an arrow and run away.
.
However, this team in black was not without gains. At least they found out the direction of the rebel army. Immediately, Luo Gan led his army and chased him out of the city, vowing to chase the emperor back!
It's just that Luo Gan was a step too late this time. By the time he arrived at the mountain temple, the rebels had already escaped. Looking at the messy mountain temple in front of him, Luo Gan's face was full of unwillingness, and he just let the emperor run away.
?No! Luo Gan gritted his teeth. This was his first mission as Luo Yang's successor. If it ended like this, how would Luo Gan look in the future to take over Luo Yang's Western Qin hegemony?
Gan waved his hand and shouted to the Jin Yiwei soldiers behind him: "Chase me!"
Although Luo Gan didn't know how the rebels arranged it, he didn't pursue it blindly. Luo Gan had already secretly analyzed it in his heart. If the emperor wanted to escape from Western Qin, there was no other way. He could only go east and seek refuge with those in the Kanto region. The princes. Nowadays, the only roads from Chang'an to the princes of Guandong are Bingzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Bingzhou is too far from Chang'an, and going to Yanzhou must pass through Hangu Pass guarded by Gao Shun. Even a wise man with some wisdom will not do it. Choosing to take two roads, the only goal was Yuzhou under the leadership of Sun Ce! Going from Chang'an to Yuzhou, Luo Gan thought about it and decided that the most likely way for the emperor to go was Qingni Pass!
After figuring this out, Luo Gan didn't waste any time. He clamped his legs together and rode towards the southeast. The spies behind him also followed Luo Gan.
The rebels in front seemed to be aware of the dangerous situation and ran so fast. At dawn, the rebels had already arrived at Lantian at the foot of Huashan Mountain. Looking at the city in front of him, Tian Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This Although Lantian still has the flag of the Western Qin, in fact, the city has been occupied by the rebel troops. Thanks to the patience of Tian Feng and Jushou over the years, in order to plant a nail in the Western Qin, In the past few years, Tian Feng and Jushuo have continuously sent people to infiltrate the defenders in Lantian City. Only a few days ago, when the rebels were preparing to take action, Tian Feng ordered the rebels ambushing in Lantian City to cover their ears with lightning speed. The powerful force seized Lantian's military power! This Lantian City became a temporary base for the rebels to stockpile soldiers and horses!
After a tiring night, not to mention Tian Feng, an old man in his seventies, even the young and strong soldiers were a little overwhelmed. Tian Feng, who looked a little pale, turned to Liu Xie behind him and said: "Your Majesty, why not Let’s rest in Lantian for a while now!”
Liu Xie, who was frightened by the arrow before, gradually calmed down at this moment, and the previous fear also dissipated a lot. In addition, the night had really been going on for a long time. As for Tian Feng's proposal, Liu Xie also waved his hand and weakly said to Tian Feng: "Tian Aiqing, just do everything according to your ideas!"
After getting Liu Xie's approval, Tian Feng quickly stopped the advance of the army, and he led a small group of troops to rush outside the city of Lantian. Looking at the silent city of Lantian, Tian Feng coughed a few times. He cleared his throat, and then shouted loudly: "Open the door! Open the city gate quickly! I am Tian Feng!"
This city defender is Yuan Shao's nephew ** who escaped with Tian Feng back then! Over the years, ** has been assisting Tian Feng. Compared with Yuan Shao's three sons who have higher eyesight than , ** seems to be more tactful. After Yuan Shao and his son were defeated and killed, ** consciously became Tian Feng's subordinate and acted in accordance with Tian Feng's orders. It is precisely because of this that Tian Feng will feel relieved to do this. The important Lantian is left to ** to handle. Although ** is not as powerful as the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, he can still be regarded as a general. It is better to leave Lantian to ** than to those who do not understand military affairs. Let Tian Feng rest assured.
Tian Feng shouted several times at the city gate, but he never saw anyone replying on the city gate, which made Tian Feng frown a little. Although he had told him before, let the police keep a low profile and don't let the passing Western Qin soldiers Ma learned about the situation in Lantian, but now he has gone too far, right?
And just when Tian Feng was about to continue shouting, there was a sudden creak, and the city gate that had been closed before slowly opened!
