Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 6 Success in Heaven Section 16
Chapter 6 is done in heaven verse 16
"Lu Aiqing, Lu Aiqing......" The Son of Heaven turned pale and shouted,
"Hurry up, hurry up, you can't beat them, you're sending them to death."
"Your Majesty......" Lu Bu looked back and roared,
"Swear to the death."
"Aiqing, you left me here, you go to Hedong for help......" The Son of Heaven saw Yang Feng's army in front of him, and the fear in his heart suddenly decreased a little,
"That's Yang Aiqing's army, I'll be fine."
"How can the minister throw His Majesty to the ** drow?" Lu Bu stomped his foot hatefully and waved his hand at the thirty soldiers behind him,
"Let's go, turn back, go back to Taoqiu." A thug picked up the Son of Heaven on his back, turned around and ran. The rest of the thugs were on the right and left, running for their lives.
Lu Bu looked at the overwhelming enemy and flew backwards. I hope Yang Feng didn't find out that his small team of people was with the Son of Heaven, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to rescue the Son of Heaven today.
At this time, Taoqiu gathered people to go to the camp, which was a good place to hide. Wait until dark, and then take advantage of the chaos to flee to the Yellow River crossing.
The drums of war resounded through the mountains. A troop of iron horsemen whistled like a whirlwind blowing from the flat ground, and the sound of dense horses' hooves was like a violent storm, which was thrilling.
Lu Bu stopped in shock.
"My lord, that's the king's army." A thug climbed up the branch of a large tree on the side of the road, looked at it carefully, and then shouted.
"How many steps away is Yang Feng's army?" Lu Bu's expression was grim, he looked back at the field behind him, and raised his head and asked.
"About three hundred steps." There are enemy cavalry in front and chasing soldiers behind, and there is really no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.
"Let's go, ...... west," Lu Bu's halberd pointed to the grove on the side of the road and shouted categorically,
"Take the small road, go to Fenglingdu, and ...... quickly" Wang Fang took his guards and rode like a roaring long arrow, and slammed into Yang Feng's army,
"Kill, kill ...... me"
"Save the Son of Heaven, rescue the Son of Heaven......" Yang Feng was caught off guard, turned his horse's head and ran, and his soldiers were even more killed to the point that they cried wolf howls, and there was a big chaos.
Wang Fang's army of foot soldiers was still behind, and he didn't dare to chase too quickly. Yang Feng took the opportunity to reorganize his army and retreated.
He commanded his own men to shout in unison,
"The Son of Heaven was snatched away by Dong Cheng." As soon as Wang Fang heard this, he immediately ordered the iron cavalry to stop the pursuit, and Yang Feng ran to the front of the battle in embarrassment.
Wang Fang was his superior, and he couldn't scold him, so he had to swallow his anger and say,
"Your Excellency, you've made a mistake. I didn't find the Son of Heaven. ”
"Where is the Son of Heaven?" Wang Fang roared angrily,
"I told you to protect the Son of Heaven, what did you do? Lao Tzu can't wait to kill you with a knife. Where is the Son of Heaven? Yang Feng briefly explained the situation.
"I have searched all the way to the ferry port in Ruxiang, but I have not found the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven must have gone to the Hucheng Ferry. If Dong Cheng can catch up, the Son of Heaven is now in Dong Cheng's hands. Wang Fang's eyes widened, and he was scolded again.
Zhang Ji, Dong Cheng, and Han Xian had just had a scuffle, and they didn't find the Son of Heaven at all. They have already pursued Hucheng together, and told me to chase in the direction of Ruxiang.
You said that there was no trace of the Son of Heaven along the way, and the Son of Heaven flew into the sky? Yang Feng suddenly thought of the small group of people who fled in a panic just now.
He had already found out about the team, but he didn't care, thinking it was a deserter. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that I fell for Lu Bu's plan to get rid of the golden cicada.
"My lord, did you spot a group of deserters just now?"
"Nope."
"When the deserters saw us, they ran back, their appearance was very suspicious, send someone to look for us, the Son of Heaven may be among them."
"Really?" Wang Fang will be skeptical.
"My lord just said that Li Le killed dozens of ministers in one go and threatened Yang Biao, but Yang Biao resolutely refused to tell the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, which shows that the Son of Heaven was not with him at all." Yang Feng said,
"I came all the way in a hurry, and I didn't even see a figure, where did the Son of Heaven go? Really go to heaven? ”
"Search ......" Wang Fang pointed to the woods in the distance and shouted,
"Order all the departments to search carefully along the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue." Out of the grove, there was a flat field again.
Lu Bu and the soldiers took turns carrying the Son of Heaven on their backs, walking like flying. The pursuers spotted them, and the war drums of the alarm rang out one after another, and one by one the drums soared into the sky.
Wang Fang and Yang Feng commanded thousands of soldiers to chase after them. Lu Bu exhaled a long breath and fired three arrows at the enemy horseman.
"Woo ......" The long arrow roared violently, and the three guards of the king could not dodge, and fell from their horses with a miserable howl.
"Spread out......," Wang Fang roared, raising his spear and shouting,
"Spread out, outflank the wings, kill them, kill them......" Fifteen thugs escorted the Son of Heaven and rushed forward, and the remaining fifteen thugs followed Lu Bu, running and shooting at the same time, hoping to slow down the enemy's pursuit.
The two sides are getting closer and closer. The horn sounded. An iron cavalry of hundreds of people suddenly rushed out of the hill, and the roar of iron hooves and the high sound of killing were deafening.
The thugs reluctantly stopped, looking desperate. Lu Bu didn't look back, he used all his strength to shoot the last long arrow,
"Brothers, protect the Son of Heaven, go north, break through to the north......"
"Let's go, let's go...... Go to the Yellow River ......" The soldiers roared like thunder, turned around again, and rushed towards the Yellow River.
As long as he can jump into the Yellow River, the Son of Heaven will be rescued. Lu Bu looked back suddenly, and was suddenly surprised.
Huang Fuhong is here, he is finally here. When Dong Zhuo was killed, he saved himself once in Fengcheng, Chang'an.
Today, he saved himself again. Lu Bu raised his head to the sky and roared, tears in his eyes with excitement. Huang Fuhong took the lead,
"Kill, kill me ......" Five hundred iron horsemen rushed down with a thunderous momentum. Wang Fang never expected that Huang Fuhong would appear here.
His first thought was that Tongguan was lost, and Yuan Shao's army had come in. Is Huang Fuhong crazy?
Then he found out that Huang Fuhong was really crazy. Huang Fuhong did not kill the group of suspicious men and horses head-on, but picked up his sword and slashed at himself.
Wang Fang and his guards were caught off guard, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of them fell in the rain of arrows.
Yang Feng was dumbfounded. Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong's two personal guards rode on the field and killed flesh and blood. A group of iron horsemen broke away from Huang Fuhong's brigade and caught up with the small group of foot soldiers who were running wildly on the field.
The two teams immediately joined together and galloped in the direction of the Yellow River. Huang Fuhong betrayed us, and the Son of Heaven must be in front.
"Beat the drums, order all the departments, go all out, and kill the Yellow River." Yang Feng's sword was raised high, and his voice was hoarse.
Thousands of foot soldiers roared and rushed forward like a tidal wave. Huang Fuhong and his iron cavalry were surrounded in the blink of an eye.
Yang Feng led a large group of men and horses to the bank of the Yellow River. At this moment, Huang Fuhong's army of foot soldiers arrived.
Three armies chased after me and fought bloody battles in the open fields. Lake City Ferry. Zhang Liao fell to the ground, dizzy, his eyes were shining, and he was in pain, and the only thing he knew was to open his mouth wide and gasp for breath.
Xu Rong walked up to him and picked him up,
"What about the Son of Heaven? Where is the Son of Heaven? Zhang Liao was soaked with sweat all over his body, softening, and had no strength at all, allowing Xu Rong to hold him in the air and keep shaking.
"I don't know, I don't know." Xu Rong raised his hand and lifted Zhang Liao's helmet and patted Zhang Liao's face hard,
"Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan, tell me quickly, where is the Son of Heaven?"
"I don't know, I don't know." Zhang Liao swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and closed his slightly open eyes tightly.
"Lord Xu, Lord Xu......" Captain Yang Biao stood up tremblingly with the help of two soldiers,
"The Son of Heaven was taken to the ferry port of Ruxiang by Lord Lu."
"You guys broke out separately?"
"Yes." Yang Biao sighed sadly,
"If it weren't for Lord Lu's quick decision, the Son of Heaven would have been captured by the rebellion."
"Quick, urgently tell Wang Dang and Yu Poison, as soon as there is news of the Son of Heaven, send it to me immediately." Xu Rong turned to the herald and said,
"Also, let them send more warships and search along the coast."
"My lord, the situation is critical, do you want to let Wang Dang and Yu Poison lead the army forward?" Chen Wei said in a low voice.
Rong shook his hand resolutely,
"If Huang Fuhong has given up Tongguan, now that Yuan Shao's army has come in, he must not risk attacking at this moment." Then he pointed at Yang Hua and said,
"Send someone to urgently inform Lord Koyi of Shaancheng and Lord Hongnong Huaxiong that they are ready to withdraw from Kansai."
"Withdraw from Kansai?" Yang Biao said in surprise,
"You're going to withdraw from Kansai?"
"My lord, Yuan Shao has already come in, and Kansai can't hold it." Xu Rong said respectfully,
"As long as the Son of Heaven is rescued, we will immediately withdraw to the east of the river."
"Lord Xu, the ministers of the DPRK and China were scattered by the rebels and are in danger, how can you turn a blind eye? In the camp tent of the Son of Heaven gathered in Taoqiu, there are more than 1,000 cars of royal items, Fu Xindian and book secret files, which are all heavy treasures of the Han Dynasty, how can you wantonly abandon them? Yang Biao was in tears, begging bitterly,
"Lord Xu, you have so many elite soldiers, why don't you attack and kill the rebels? Why not go to the rescue of the courtiers? Why can't we save those treasures of the country? Xu Rong's face was sad, and he knelt down and pleaded guilty,
"My lord, it's not that I don't send troops, but the situation in front of me is changing rapidly, and as long as the Northern Frontier Army leaves the ferry, it will definitely be difficult to turn back. My lord, how many people have died in the Northern Xinjiang Army this year, you should know very well in your heart. If I run out of people again, what will Hedong do? What should Jinyang do? Yang Biao shook his head again and again in despair, he looked at the frightened Queen Fu and Dong Guifei, looked at Situ Chun Yujia, Sikong Zhang Xi, and looked at the more than 30 large and small court officials scattered around, he couldn't hold back the grief in his heart anymore, and slowly sat on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and cried.
Zhang Ji, Dong Cheng, Han Xian, and Hu Cai went to the Hucheng ferry. The four of them discussed it and sent a personal guard to the front of the Northern Xinjiang Army to shout, and the hussar general Zhang Ji wanted to see Xu Rong, the general of Zhengxi.
The Northern Frontier Army did not reply. Instead, there was a roar of ballistas. The hapless guard and the horse on which he sat were shot like cunning and fell to the ground with a bang.
Zhang Ji and the other four were shocked. This loud bang represents Xu Rong's reply, no matter how to kill. Just when the four of them were hesitating, a subordinate came to report.
A minister who was caught said that Lu Bu had fled with the Son of Heaven to the ferry port of Ruxiang.
"In this way, the Son of Heaven should be in Yang Feng's hands now." Zhang Ji ordered the departments to turn around and retreat, and said to Dong Cheng.
Dong Cheng smiled bitterly, he wasn't sure,
Although Lu Bu fled on foot. But judging from the escape speed of Zhang Liao's gang, Lu Bu may have taken the Son of Heaven on the ship. ”
"Speaking of which, it's all your idiots." Zhang Ji said angrily,
"Why did you leave Lu Bu in the Son of Heaven camp? Do you think that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao with a hundred foot soldiers will not be able to save the Son of Heaven? Dong Cheng lowered his head and regretted it.
When the army was short of food, it first ate up the war horses and baggage horses of the Son of Heaven battalion. When the army withdrew to Tongguan this time, the baggage wagons of the Tianzi battalion were all pushed and dragged to Taolin by the soldiers.
Lu Bu didn't bring a horse, and there were no horses in the Son of Heaven camp, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were both fierce generals on horseback, and there were no war horses to rescue the Son of Heaven, so they were indeed asking for their own death.
Therefore, neither he nor Yang Feng resolutely prevented the Son of Heaven from leaving Lu Bu and his party. I knew that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were coming for the Son of Heaven, and I had to drive them away no matter what.
When the army reached the halfway point, Yang Feng sent someone to report that the Son of Heaven was being held hostage by a group of men and horses of the Northern Xinjiang Army and was fleeing towards the Yellow River.
Originally, the army could catch up, but Huang Fuhong suddenly killed, and the army was blocked, so please support your lordship quickly.
"It's over." Zhang Ji was stupid at that time.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Dong Cheng said anxiously,
"Why don't you go and save the Son of Heaven?"
"Save a fart." Zhang Ji was furious and gave Dong Cheng a whip,
"Tongguan is lost, Yuan Shao is killed, we will die if we save the Son of Heaven, and if we don't save the Son of Heaven, we will die, do you know? Huangfu Jianshou, since you don't let us live, then everyone will be finished together. Go, kill to the township. He left, but Dong Cheng didn't move, and Han Xian and Hu Cai didn't move.
"My lord, what shall we do?" Han Xian asked.
"What else can I do? Staying here is dead, let's go to Hedong. Dong Cheng said,
"I'm a national relative, you used to be the Yellow Turban Army, the general will neither kill me nor kill you, let's go." Zhang Ji did not kill Ruxiang, but led the army to gallop to Taolin Fortress.
On the way, he met Zhang Xiu, who came to help. Zhang Ji was overjoyed, and immediately joined forces and rushed to Taoqiu to gather.
"Uncle, is the Son of Heaven still gathering in Taoqiu?" Zhang Xiu asked puzzled.
"Now don't worry about the Son of Heaven, and mind our own business." Zhang Ji sighed,
"Yuan Shao has entered the customs, if we want to survive, there is only one way, to preserve our strength and take refuge in Yuan Shao." Zhang Rust was dumbfounded.
Lu Bu stayed on the embankment of the Ma River, looked at the surging Yellow River, and raised his halberd and roared.
"My lord, what should I do? I can't see the boat. Qin Yi looked back at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer behind him, and kept panting,
"It's more than ten miles away from the ferry port of Ruxiang, and it's too late for us to turn around."
"Down the river."
"What did you say?" Qin Yi pointed to the Yellow River and said in surprise,
"Swim over? Can adults swim through? Lu Bu shook his head,
"I can't swim, but they can." Lu Bu pointed to the thirty soldiers who had already flown off their horses, and laughed loudly,
"Lord Xu has been prepared. Of the hundred soldiers I brought, as long as one of them can make it to the Yellow River alive, he will be able to send the Son of Heaven safely to the other side. The Son of Heaven's face turned blue, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say that he would not leave, but when he heard the deafening shouts of killing, he did not dare not leave.
Lu Bu picked up the Son of Heaven, strode to the river, and sent the Son of Heaven onto a small cowhide raft that could only accommodate one person.
Lu Bu took off the leather armor on his body and carefully tied it to the Son of Heaven.
"It's windy on the river, Your Majesty be careful of catching a cold."
"Aiqing, aren't you leaving?" The Son of Heaven grabbed Lu Bu's big hand and asked fearfully.
"Lord Huangfu saved my life." Lu Bu took a step back and fell to his knees,
"Your Majesty, if Lu Bu does not die, he should fight for His Majesty in the world, even if he is broken, he will not give up." The Son of Heaven's heart was hot, and tears suddenly blurred his eyes,
"Aiqing, you must come back alive." Thirty thugs escorted the Son of Heaven sitting on a raft and swam to the opposite shore.
Lu Bu raised the halberd in his hand. The horse neighed and stood upright.
"Brothers, kill, kill......" jumped to
