Chapter 216
Lu Bu gathered the five hundred cavalry led by Zhang Liao and sent him to meet Gao Shun's infantry. Lu Bu led the cavalry to the mansion.

The Bingzhou wolf was riding outside the mansion, and Lu Bu came to the mansion to pick up the family.

"Husband, you are back, you really scared me to death last night!" When Lu Bu's wife Yan saw Lu Bu, she immediately surrounded him, and Diao Chan and other children of Lu Bu's family also surrounded Lu Bu.It seems that Lu Bu is not qualified as a courtier, but he is very good as a husband and father.

Lu Bu glanced at Diaochan, his face was a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and ordered: "Hurry up and pack up the gold and silver, Chang'an City is broken, Liu Bian's army has taken the imperial city, let's leave Luoyang quickly."

Lü Bu's family panicked for a while, and when they heard that Liu Bian's army had invaded Chang'an, and Lv Bu was about to leave Chang'an, he hurriedly packed his bags and prepared to leave with Lv Bu.

Diao Chan did not leave, but asked Lu Bu, "Husband, how is my adoptive father?"

Lu Bu had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Father-in-law was killed by Liu Xie!"

Diao Chan was very sad when she heard this, and kept crying. Lu Bu quickly comforted her: "My concubine, don't be sad. Go and pack your bags. When I make a comeback in the future, I will avenge my father-in-law."

Diao Chan wiped away her tears and asked, "A comeback? Where does your husband desire?"

"Now that Hangu Pass is occupied by Liu Bian, the only option is to go southeast to Wuguan to join Yuan Shu in the Central Plains, or go west to Hanzhong or Xiliang. It's just that Xiliang is chaotic and there is no danger to defend. Even if I go for a year or two We have to face Liu Bian's attack. Before the Hulao Pass, Yuan Shu once attacked me. Although the army is strong now, I don't want to vote for him. Only in Shu, Liu Yan has always been ambitious. It is said that in Shu, even the emperor's clothes He must be an ambitious person, Liu Bian rises up, he will definitely not sit idly by, I will rely on him, and I will definitely be reused." Lu Bu analyzed it, and then sighed again: "Oh, what am I talking about with you? , you go and pack your bags, if a large number of cavalry arrives, it will be difficult to leave!"

Lu Bu waved his hand, and ordered his servants to prepare food and drink, and seize the time to recover their strength.The cavalry at the gate, as well as the servants of the mansion brought dry food and water, and took the time to rest and recover their combat effectiveness.

Not long after, Lu Bu's family packed up and saluted, got into the carriage, and the wolf cavalry also had a good meal, then got back on their horses and headed towards the west gate.

However, Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry to meet Gao Shun, and was about to arrive on the way with Gao Shun's soldiers and horses. Zhang Liao let Gao Shun's infantry go first, and he himself led [-] cavalry to cut off the rear.

At this time, the sky was already clear, and the corpses of Xiliang soldiers were everywhere on the streets, and even a small group of Han army cavalry could be seen from time to time.Fortunately, Zhang Liao was cautious, and sent someone to observe the surroundings in advance to avoid the large cavalry, and the small cavalry of the Han army was also beheaded by Zhang Liao's charge.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led the army to go straight to the west gate. Under the west gate, Lu Bu came to the city gate. On the west gate, Cao Xing immediately opened the city gate and let Lu Bu go out to Chang'an.

"Hurry up and lead the infantry south to Hanzhong. I'll meet Zhang Liaogao and go find you by the way!" Lu Bu ordered.

"Yes, General!" Cao Xing hurried south with his infantry to Hanzhong.

Lu Bu waited for a while, then saw Gao Shun arriving with infantry, followed by Zhang Liao's cavalry.Lu Bu still let Gao Shun go first with the infantry, and he and Gao Shun led the cavalry to break up, and the Han cavalry pursued.

In the middle of the night, Baima Yicong made an assault, and Liu Xie was terrified, so he led his confidant ministers to go down the tower quietly from another place, wanting to take the opportunity to leave the city.

In Zhu Jun's mansion, Liu Xie and all the ministers are sitting.

"Quick, what's going on outside the city?" Liu Xie asked the slave who had just gone out to inquire.

"Your Majesty, the three gates are closed and controlled by King Hongnong's troops, and only the west gate is open. I saw Lu Bu leading his army out of the city earlier!"

Liu Xie said happily: "That's great, let's clean up and go out of the city!"

"Your Majesty, no, the streets are full of Han army cavalry, they are all searching for us, how did we get away? Why don't we wait for Chang'an to settle down, and let us go out of the city disguised as ordinary people, and Your Majesty and all the ministers will take shelter at my residence for a while! "Zhu Jun said hastily.

"The cavalry of the Han army? We are the Han army, and they are traitors. Don't forget who is orthodox." Liu Xie stared at Zhu Jun in a deep voice, a little uneasy in his heart. The emperor has always been suspicious. Appoint cronies, but cannot appoint real virtuous ministers.

For a moment, Liu Xie felt that Zhu Jun had evil intentions, and he was suspected of committing meritorious service to Liu Bian.

"Now that the city gate is open, why don't we go out of the city pretending to be ordinary people? Doesn't he, Liu Bian, claim to be wise? Could it be that they can't even kill ordinary people?" The more he looked at Zhu Jun, the more Liu Xie distrusted him, and he didn't want to be in Zhu Jun's residence. Staying here for a long time, I am eager to get out of the city.

"Your Majesty is going out of the city, where can he go? The eldest prince is wise, and he will not hurt His Majesty. Why would Your Majesty let the world be chaotic?" Zhu Jun smiled wryly. During this time, he also looked away. Who is it? What can the emperor do? Compared with Liu Xie, Liu Bian has done better. As the emperor, he can quickly dominate the world.And even if Liu Xie escaped from Chang'an, how could he make a comeback? It's not a big deal, but he became the puppet of other princes.

Liu Xie laughed back angrily: "Okay, okay, you really have this idea in your heart, since you don't want to follow me, then you can stay here, and I will go out of the city with other ministers!"

Zhu Jun knelt down on the ground, weeping bitterly: "The old minister is utterly loyal, and the world can learn from it. I just don't want to see your majesty running around and suffering. If your majesty doesn't trust the old minister, the old minister will protect your majesty and go out of the city."

Where is Liu Xie willing to take Zhu Jun?Dang waved his hand and said: "No need, you can find some common people's clothes and give them to me. You can wait here for Liu Bian to arrive, and go to him to make contributions! Hmph!"

With a sad face on his face, Zhu Jun ordered his servants to find some clothes for Liu Xie and several ministers to change into.Most of the ministers who followed Liu Xie were influenced by the Confucian thought of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. They all changed their clothes with Liu Xie and planned to live and die with Liu Xie.

A group of people came out of the mansion quietly through the back door, and turned around a few remote alleys, the patriarch Dong Cheng said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, it is really not the best policy to go out of the city now, your majesty can't trust Zhu Jun, why don't you go to my mansion for a while! "

Dong Cheng is the head of the state, so Liu Xie can trust it, and immediately said happily: "According to what Aiqing said, I really can't trust Zhu Jun, so I will go to your house. If Zhu Jun seeks refuge with Liu Bian and informs, they will only think that we are out." If we leave the city, we will be safer!"

After discussing with each other, they put Liu Xie in the middle and went to Dong Cheng's mansion.

The streets were full of corpses of the Xiliang army. Several people walked through the streets and kept avoiding the cavalry of the Han army. Just after they walked out of a street, they bumped into a group of cavalry coming on horseback.

Dong Cheng and the others were about to hide in the street, when the leading young cavalry general shouted, "Stop!"

Dong Cheng was also alert, and quickly knelt down on the ground. The Gongqing behind him immediately understood, and quickly followed him on his knees, pretending to be panic-stricken: "Master, please forgive me. We are just poor people, please don't kill us." .”

That young cavalry general was none other than Lin Yu. He chased and killed Xiliang cavalry all night, and he had already separated from his subordinates. There were only a dozen or so cavalry around him.

Seeing the common people dressed up by Liu Xie and Dong Cheng, Lin Yu stepped forward suspiciously and asked: "The city is in chaos, how dare you go out of the house, could it be that the Xiliang bandit army can't dress up well?"

After one night, Lin Yu didn't see any common people who dared to go out of the city, but he saw quite a few Xiliang soldiers dressed as common people trying to flee for their lives.

"Master Jun, please tell me that the Xiliang army entered my house earlier, and I was panicked before I escaped from the mansion!"

Lin Yu nodded and said: "It turns out that they are the people who were bullied by the Xiliang army. Get up and tell me where your home is. I will protect you back!"

Dong Cheng had no choice but to think that this young man was really troublesome, so he stood up and pointed in one direction: "It's not far ahead!"

The cavalrymen behind Lin Yu immediately chased after him. Lin Yu nodded, turned his eyes, and suddenly saw the water bag hanging on Dong Cheng's waist.Looking at the others, they all carried dry food and water bags.

"Okay, where did the common people get the Xiliang army's water bags and dry food? You were almost deceived!" Lin Yu laughed back angrily, and shouted angrily, raising the spear in his hand, wanting to kill the gang in front of him who he thought They are civilians dressed up by the Xiliang Army.These things were originally prepared by Zhu Jun for dry food, but Lin Yu became suspicious when he didn't want to.
