Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1061: Zhong Shao’s Lifeline

"Your Majesty is up?" Zhong Shao asked a little Huangmen, stopping him.

Xiao Huangmen bowed and replied: "Mr. Zhong...Your Majesty has already woken up..."

Chong Shao ignored the little yellow gate and walked straight into the hall.

Xiao Huangmen lowered his head, and waited until Chong Shao and his party passed by, then slowly raised his head, looked at Chong Shao and his party, stretched his chin forward, stretched his neck, pulled the corners of his mouth down, and secretly grinned. tooth.

Chong Shao didn't notice this, or even if he did, now he can't take into account the emotions of these eunuchs...

The most important thing right now is how to protect yourself, and then seek a chance to come back.

Over the past few days, Zhong Shao's heart has been extremely anxious, he has lost countless hairs, and blisters have formed at the corners of his mouth, and his face twitches with pain when he moves slightly.

Zhong Shao didn't know that he was at a disadvantage now, procrastinating would only make his situation worse and worse, but he was unable to fight back, after all, the military strength was too disparate...

"Damn Liu Jiashu!" Zhong Shao cursed in a low voice, the anger in his heart completely obscured his sanity for a moment, and he didn't even realize that the emperor he was about to meet was also surnamed Liu.

Liu Xie also didn't rest well these days, causing a dull pain in his head. This kind of headache is a little different from ordinary illnesses. It seems to be the pain radiating from the inside of the skull, sometimes in front, sometimes in the back, it seems to be Liu Xie is reminded all the time that the current environment is indeed a headache.

"Your Majesty..." The eunuch in front of the main hall came to report, "...the Duke Seeking See..."

Liu Xie closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "Please come in..."

The main hall of Changle Palace has not undergone large-scale repairs for a long time. The wooden boards in the hall will naturally become loose after being trampled on for a long time, and people walking on them make rattling noises.Accompanied by the crackling voice, Zhong Shao came to Liu Xie and bowed to meet him.

"Qing Aiqing came here, I don't know what's going on?" Liu Xie said slowly, although his nutrition has not kept up and his body is a little weak, but his demeanor is still calm, even better than that of ordinary adults .

Zhong Shao's eyebrows and eyes slightly swept left and right, and he bowed his head in silence.

"You all stand down..." Liu Xie agreed, pondered for a moment, and then ordered.In fact, there are not many people serving around Liu Xie, just three or two people, but seeing Zhong Shao's serious face, they let these servants stand far away.

Chong Shao is now saying that he is trying to make up for it after a dead sheep, or he is a frightened bird. Anyway, although he now knows that the palace is still under his control, it is still better to be careful, try to keep the information confidential, and not let the third person know. Nature is the best.

"...Your Majesty..." Seeing that everyone retreated from the left and right, Zhong Shao lowered his voice and said, "...Mr. Yang conspired against the emperor and wanted to kill the emperor. I heard that Mrs. Yang is sending envoys to visit King Hejian..."

"What?!" Liu Xie straightened his back, his eyes widened.

Hejian is a good place. Naturally, like most good places, it was granted to the children of the Liu family.Of course, Hejian is not close to Chang'an. Even if there is such a thing, it will take a long time to come and go. Liu Xie does not have much risk for the time being, but such a thing makes it difficult for Liu Xie to calm down.

Everyone needs to have some support, and those who don't have any support and support often become the bottom cornerstone, and become the target of being trampled and bullied by others.

The same is true for Liu Xie, he knows that the only thing he can rely on is his identity as the emperor.If he is no longer the emperor, then maybe he might follow his brother's path...

In any case, the emperor is more or less respected, but who would especially respect a deposed emperor?
Strictly speaking, the king of Hejian is even more orthodox than Emperor Ling of Han. But his father is just a Marquis of Jieduting...

So if only in terms of blood, the current king of Hejian, Liu Kai, is much more orthodox than Liu Xie.In this way, if what Zhong Shao said is true, then Yang Biao sent someone to contact King Hejian, the implication in this will inevitably make people think deeply...

"...this matter..." Liu Xie suppressed his beating heart, tried to calm his voice as much as possible, and said, "...how did Chong Aiqing know?" Zhong Shao and himself are the same Being surrounded within this palace wall, how could he know every move of Yang Biao outside the city wall?What's more, it is naturally impossible for Yang Biao to do this kind of thing with great fanfare, so how can Zhong Shao find out about it?
Zhong Shao lowered his eyelids, cupped his hands and said, "Although I'm trapped, there are still loyal and brave people outside the city... It's just that the power is weak, and the Yang family has rebellious soldiers, so I can only spread some news..."

Liu Xie nodded, it made sense.

If it is really as what Zhong Shao said...

Liu Xie thought about it, suddenly frowned slightly, and gave Zhong Shao an angry look.That's right, if it wasn't for the fight between Zhong Shao and Yang Biao, how could he have fallen into such an embarrassing situation!
Zhong Shao seemed to have noticed something, so he knelt down slowly, took off the beam crown on his head, put it on his side, and said: "...the old minister is guilty, implicate your majesty... If your majesty wants to punish the old minister, Your Majesty, please bind your ministers under the gate of the palace and hand them over to the Yang family, maybe your majesty will be safe, and the Yang family may not be..."

Zhong Shao didn't finish speaking, just kowtowed and lowered his head deeply.

Liu Xie was silent for a moment, stepped forward, helped Zhong Shao up, and said, "You don't have to be like this, I can trust you..."

What if you can't believe it?There are people from Zhong Shao inside and outside the hall, and if I say a sentence here to punish Zhong Shao, maybe in the next moment, Zhong Shao will jump up and punish him...

Taking a step back, even if Zhong Shao is handed over to Yang Biao, will Yang Biao give up the idea of ​​King Hejian and come to assist him loyally?
I can only take care of the moment!
Chong Shao kowtowed again, then stood up, and said: "...Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Even if the old minister abandons his remnant body, His Majesty will be safe! For the present plan... Your Majesty, the only thing is to break through!"

"Breakthrough?" Liu Xie said blankly, "...how to break through, and where can we go?"

Zhong Shao smiled slightly, not knowing whether it was self-deprecating or something else, but to have such an opportunity, he still had to thank the Xiliang bandits who made trouble...

It was because of these Xiliang thieves that Chong Shao could not take his soldiers back to Chang'an, which gave Yang Biao a chance to breathe and gain a foothold, but now these Xiliang thieves also brought Zhong Shao a glimmer of life.

Previously, Yang Biao had been using Zhong Shao to not clean up the Xiliang bandit soldiers, or he said that Zhong Shao and Xiliang bandit soldiers colluded with each other, and there was an argument that Zhong Shao was in vain for the peace of Guanzhong, but now that Zhong Shao was besieged in the palace city, Yang Biao controlled If the overall situation in the periphery is compromised, then these Xiliang thieves will naturally become Yang Biao's responsibility.

When you are in the opposition party, you can naturally spit wildly. Whether there is something or not, it is the fault of the ruling party. However, now that the opposition party is in power, I suddenly find that all the saliva before has fallen on me.

Ma Chao led a small group of troops all the way to the east, plundering the surrounding area unreasonably as military rations, causing urgent calls for help to fly to Chang'an like raindrops, and to Yang Biao's desk.

As far as Yang Biao is concerned, it is natural that the best strategy is to deal with Zhong Shao first, but what about attacking Miyagi now? Soldiers don't have the guts to do so, plus they still have to take into account the issue of reputation, so they can only besieged for the time being, not directly.

Then we can only deal with this small group of Xiliang thieves first, and to appease the fragile hearts of the nobles in Guanzhong, and then say...

But the general who led the soldiers had some problems.Although Xia Mou saw that Zhong Shao's momentum was not right at the time, he turned his back in the end, but Yang Biao was not at ease at all, so he couldn't hand over the team to Xia Mou's hands, so after many calculations, Liu Fan was the only one who could use it for the time being. one use.

As soon as Liu Fan moved, Yang Biao could only take over the management of the personnel in charge of Chang'an city defense, but naturally there were some loopholes in this mutual handover and management. The familiar process, so it is inevitable that there will be opportunities in front of Zhong Shao...

"...Your Majesty!" Chong Shao looked a little excited, and said with a white beard, "...Yang is not familiar with the defense of the city gate at the moment. Taking advantage of the fact that his troops are divided into two places and the defense is negligent, His Majesty will escape from the place of thorns Great opportunity!"

That being said, there's nothing wrong with it, but...

Even if you can break through, where can you go?

Do you still go to Luoyang?

"...Your Majesty, the Hongnong line is all Yang's land, so this is the current plan... Go north to Diaoyin, take the way to Pingyang, and then make plans..." Zhong Shao suggested breaking out, and naturally he had already considered the direction.

Speaking of which, Zhong Shao may not be willing to go north, but the problem is that there is no other place to go except in this direction.

To the south is Lantian, and the mountain road is rough and difficult. Even if you pass Wuguan with great difficulty, you are basically in Yuan Shu's territory. Will the Yuan family treat you kindly?Even if he treats himself kindly, will he still have a chance to regain control of the government?
Needless to say, to the west, but to the east is Hongnong, isn't it like throwing yourself into a trap?
After thinking about it, he could only go north to seek the assistance of General Zhengxi. At least there was a non-embarrassing alliance before, even if General Zhengxi didn't think about it, according to Zhong Shao's judgment, Zhengxi Western generals Fei Qian and Yang Biao, on the surface, are quite harmonious and raise the banner of righteousness, but in fact they are not all the same, so there is still a glimmer of life.

Most of the time, the only option is the best option for a person in a difficult situation.

"North?" Liu Xie subconsciously repeated.

Chong Shao nodded and emphasized: "... General Zhengxi is dedicated to serving the country, opening up borders and guarding the land, so he is naturally loyal to His Majesty... Your Majesty will be free from worries... and the distance from Chang'an to the north is also the shortest. Even if Mrs. Yang notices it and comes to chase him, we can still reach Diaoyin before he arrives... Besides, as soon as His Majesty sets off, the old minister will send a fast horse to General Zhengxi and ask him to mobilize troops and horses to escort him , can also keep His Majesty safe..."

After Zhongshao Balabala finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xie.

"..." Liu Xie closed his eyes, pondered for a while, then opened his eyes again, nodded and said, "...so, according to Zhong Aiqing's words... break through, break through is... just this breakout , how to act?"

Chong Shao said: "My old man sees that most of Yang's soldiers gather at the Bacheng Gate, and there is a lot of slack outside the Fu'an Gate...so you can go through the Fu'an Gate at three o'clock tonight!"

"Leave today?" Although Liu Xie said that he had already made a decision, he was still a little nervous and flustered when he heard that he was leaving that day.

Zhong Shao nodded heavily, and said, "That's right! If you delay until the Yang family straightens out the city's defenses, we'll have nothing to do!"

Liu Xie sighed slightly, and said: "... what Qing Aiqing said is very true... so that's it, tonight is tonight... so... how many people can I take with me?"

"This..." Zhong Shao paused, almost blurting out, saying that it would be good to let Liu Xie alone, but after silently calculating, he looked around and said, "...Your Majesty, the number of people should not be too many... Three or five are fine... After all, there are too many people, and the movement will be more inconvenient..."

In any case, you have to give Liu Xiebei a few servants, or else let Zhong Shao serve tea and water for Liu Xie himself?Unexpectedly, Liu Xie said: "...Then, what about the other people in the palace?"

Zhong Shao arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is an extraordinary period... Besides, Your Majesty is a man of gold, and the rest of you... I think Yang will not be embarrassed..."

As for whether Yang Biao would vent his anger on those unlucky palace guys after knowing that Liu Xie had escaped, that was Yang Biao's business.

"...No, no, Chong Aiqing..." Liu Xie turned around twice, and then said, "...If there are fewer attendants, I will take less, but Fu...Queen Fu must go with me!"

"Queen Fu?" Zhong Shao's eyes widened, "...how come such Queen Fu?"

Liu Xie said: "A few days ago, I was canonizing Fugui as the queen, and I was about to announce it to the Taimiao, but unexpectedly..." That's right, the canonization of the queen was still short of a procedure, and the order of the canonization of the queen was not officially placed in the Taimiao go.But at that time, Yang Biao and Zhong Shao were fighting each other, even if Liu Xie wanted to put this order in the Taimiao, he had no chance.

Zhong Shao nodded embarrassingly, and said: "...So, of course, the queen will go with me..." Although Zhong Shao didn't say anything, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. It's hard to hide when there are too many people Plus, with the addition of female counterparts, most of the psychological quality is still not good enough, who knows what kind of moths will come out...
