Emperor Xian's face also showed a hint of panic. His fear of Li Dao and Guo Yan is simply deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even though he was jealous of Chen Xu, he didn't want to go to Bingzhou, and he didn't want to be caught by Li Dao and Guo Yan again.

Now there is a big river blocking the road in front of him, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, when Zhang Ji and his soldiers are all killed, Guo Yan will lead the army to come.

Zhang Xiu's face was also a little pale, he struggled in his heart for a while, and suddenly said sharply: "Since there is no way out, you all go back with me and fight to the death." Even if you die, you must die with grace! ”

Then, he came to Liu Xie's side, lowered his head, and said apologetically: "The minister is incompetent, there is no way to send His Majesty away." ”

Liu Xie opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat without making the slightest sound. His face showed deep fear and confusion......

After tidying up the armor on his body, Zhang Xiu was about to lead some of his own soldiers around him to return to fight.

"General, no!"

A personal soldier suddenly stepped forward to stop Zhang Xiu, and he said excitedly: "We can all die, but the general must bring His Majesty to Chen Bingzhou." ”

Zhang Xiu's body paused, and her voice was a little hoarse: "The sky is going to kill me, how can I survive in secret?" ”

The soldier shook his head vigorously and said, "General, since we have found a small boat, it means that God has given the general a way out." ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes showed a hint of anger, and then when he saw the steep embankment, he shook his head again: "The embankment is steep, and there is no way to get on the boat." ”

The soldiers hurriedly untied the reins from the horses and said to the rest, "We will untie the reins, tie them to the waists of the general and His Majesty, and send them to the ship." ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was shocked.

"yes, why didn't I think of that? Although the river bank is steep, you can tie yourself with a rope and slowly descend to the boat. ”

Suddenly, Zhang Xiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Now that there is only one small boat, how can you take us and others to leave this place?" You are all my Zhang Xiu's brothers, and I can't leave you alone. ”

Dozens of pro-soldiers were all moved.

However, their hearts were full of anxiety. Zhang Xiu's temper, how can they not know?

Although his own generals are brave, they are a little indecisive, and they are also very good to their subordinates.

Now in this critical situation, he is still hesitating, if Guo Yan leads his troops to chase after him, what should he do?

The pro-soldier who had just spoken had a resolute look on his face.

He directly pulled out the sword in his hand, put it on his neck, and said sharply: "As a general's personal soldier, it is my duty to protect the general." If our existence has become a fetter for the general to flee for his life, what reason do we have to continue to survive? ”

After speaking, the saber in his hand directly slashed his throat, and blood splattered out.

"No!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu screamed loudly, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the corpse of his own soldier who was soft to the ground.

The pro-soldier, although his eyes were no longer focused, was still staring at him with a tiger's eyes, and he didn't bat at him.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers also drew their swords, put them on their necks and shouted: "If the general does not leave quickly, I will kill myself here!" ”

"Don't!"

Zhang Xiu, who had tears in her eyes, hurriedly spoke out to stop her.

One of the soldiers said: "The general doesn't want me to kill myself here, please board the ship quickly!" ”

Everyone shouted loudly: "Please also ask the general to board the ship quickly!" ”

Wiping away a handful of tears, Zhang Xiu directly hugged Liu Xie and said to those pro-soldiers: "Take care!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiu had made a decision, a smile appeared on everyone's faces. And Liu Xie, who was staying in Zhang Xiu's arms, had a faint light flashing in his eyes.

"Even a mere general, there are so many people who are willing to die for him. As a great man, I don't want to fall into such a situation! ”

The more he thought about it, the more sad Liu Xie's heart became. After all, he was still too young, and he couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he was sad.

When Zhang Xiu saw Liu Xie's appearance, he thought that he was moved by the behavior of his own soldiers, and he didn't answer.

Zhang Xiu asked everyone to tie their waists with ropes. He hugged Emperor Liu Xie and asked his soldiers to slowly hoist him to the fishing boat in the river.

Liu Xie sat on a small, dilapidated fishing boat, looking at the vast water of the Yellow River around him, and his heart always felt uneasy.

"Boom!"

Zhang Xiu had just started rowing when he heard a deafening sound of horses' hooves. He knew that it was Guo Yan's pursuers who had arrived.

"Uncle!"

Zhang Xiu held the spear in his hand tightly and held back his tears so that he didn't let the tears fall. He knew that since Guo Yan had already chased him here, Zhang Ji would definitely be killed now.

"I must avenge this revenge!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiu tried to calm the grief in his heart. He looked at the dozens of pro-soldiers on the shore, shouted and turned around and left, Zhang Xiu knew that these people had said goodbye to him forever.

"I'm going to live well."

Putting the spear in his hand on the boat, Zhang Xiu picked up the oars and rowed hard. In the beginning, due to his uneven force, the fishing boat kept spinning in place.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu is not a stupid person, he adapted, and he was barely able to maintain the balance of the fishing boat.

He rowed desperately in the boat, because he knew that when Guo Yan eliminated his dozens of personal soldiers, he would come to the shore.

Even if Zhang Xiu and Emperor Xian stayed on the boat, if Guo Yan ordered the arrows to be released, the two would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being shot to death.

Zhang Xiu would not be naïve to think that Emperor Xian was on his own boat, and Guo Yan would not dare to order the arrows.

Even if Guo Yan shoots Emperor Xian to death on the boat now, it is a great addition to the sinner who killed the emperor. However, now that the heroes are rising, who will stand up for a dead son of heaven?

On the contrary, if Emperor Xian escaped, he then issued an edict ordering the princes of Kwantung to come and crusade against Guo Yan.

Even if the emperor is in name only, many people will send troops to attack Guo Yan for the sake of their reputation of loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

What's more, those princes who have long been eyeing Guanzhong, they will not let go of this God-given opportunity.

Therefore, Guo Yan will definitely want to keep the Son of Heaven at all costs, and even kill Liu Xie.

It was with this in mind that Zhang Xiu hoped to quickly row the fishing boat to a place where the arrows could not be shot.

Now in the river, there are no other boats at all, even if Guo Yan saw Zhang Xiu and the Son of Heaven escaping by boat, there was no way to catch up for a while.

As long as he crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory of Hedong, Zhang Xiu was very likely to be in contact with the Bingzhou army.

With the strong and strong Bingzhou army as the backing, Zhang Xiu had the opportunity to lead the army to kill Guo Yan in order to avenge his uncle.

Zhang Xiu has no doubt that if he can live and hand over the emperor to Chen Xu, he will definitely be reused by Chen Xu.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Zhang Xiu rowed the oars in her hand vigorously, expecting to be able to stay away from the riverbank.

"Kill!"

Guo Yan slashed the last Zhang Xiu's personal soldier to death with a knife, and blood splattered on his face, making Guo Yan look a little hideous.

"Where is the Son of Heaven? Where is the Son of Heaven? ”

Guo Yan roared loudly in anger, and he was terrified in his heart.

If the Son of Heaven is allowed to escape, and then an edict is issued to tell his crimes, and the princes of the world are ordered to come to crusade against him, how can he Guo Yan live?

"Lord, there's a fishing boat in the river!"

Guo Yan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly rode his horse to the bank of the Yellow River. He fixed his eyes and saw Zhang Xiu rowing hard.

Guo Yan looked around and looked for a long time, but he didn't see a single ship, and a fierce look suddenly flashed on his face.

"The armies listened to the order, put the arrows on the bowstring, and shot the traitor Zhang Xiu in the boat to death!"

Guo Yan's words caused a commotion.

Although Guo Yan said that he shot Zhang Xiu, everyone knew that he wanted to shoot the Son of Heaven to death.

Even if these Xiliang troops did a lot of evil, but let them shoot the Son of Heaven, these people still had some fear in their hearts.

For hundreds of years, the power of the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this influence is not so easy to eliminate.

"I told you to release the arrows, didn't you hear?"

Watching the fishing boat drift away, Guo Yan suddenly jumped like thunder and scolded loudly.

When those soldiers heard Guo Yan's words, their hearts sank, so they reluctantly pulled out their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the fishing boat.

However, almost all of the soldiers were deliberately shot crooked.

For a while, some arrows fell on the front and back of the fishing boat, but only the boat was not hit by an arrow.

Seeing this, Guo Yan was even more angry, and he shouted loudly: "Pro-barracks, shoot me arrows!" ”

Since ancient times, people who can serve as a general's personal soldiers are almost always absolutely loyal to the general. Guo Yan's personal soldiers are no exception.

The rest of the soldiers were afraid and did not dare to shoot the Son of Heaven, and these personal soldiers who were completely loyal to Guo Yan naturally did not have so many worries.

When they heard Guo Yan's words, they immediately bent their bows and arrows and aimed at the fishing boats in the river.

"Chirp!"

With a piercing sound of arrows breaking through the air, the arrows rained down on the fishing boats in the river.

Fortunately, the fishing boats have gradually drifted away, although those Guo Yan's personal soldiers are aiming at the fishing boats. However, not all of them were marksmen, some missed and some shot in the back of the fishing boat.

Rao was so, and a few arrows were still on the ship. There was even an arrow that grazed Liu Xie's face, and if it was an inch off, it would kill Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was so frightened that he collapsed on the boat, with a frightened and angry look in his eyes. He didn't expect that Guo Yan really had the guts to kill the emperor.

Even Dong Zhuo, who was once invincible, only dared to abolish the young emperor Liu Wei first. Only then did he send someone to kill Liu Wei, who had become King Chen Liu.

And now Liu Xie is still a real son of heaven.

"Your Majesty, you come rowing, I'll intercept the arrows!"

When Zhang Xiu saw this, he was also shocked in his heart. If the Son of Heaven really died on his ship, even if it was not his doing, Zhang Xiu would not be able to escape the involvement.

At that time, Mo said that he went to Chen Xu, I am afraid that the world is so big that there is no place for him.

The crime of killing the emperor is not something that a person without the slightest power can afford.
