Chapter 230 Escape to Lantian
After Dong Zhuo died, everyone around shouted:
"Dong thief is dead!"

The news spread quickly. From inside the palace to outside the palace, the whole Chang'an was shouting:

"Dong thief is dead!"

Everyone is excited, everyone applauds.

Soon Wang Yun ordered that Lu Bu send people to take over the garrisons inside and outside Chang'an, and garrison them everywhere. Dong Zhuo's old troops were panic-stricken.

Dong Zhuo's school lieutenant, Hua Xiong, brought hundreds of Flying Bear soldiers with him, and forcibly brought out Dong Zhuo's biological mother, Chi Yang Jun, Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, Wei Yang Jun, from Dong's residence. This is Dong Bai.

Hua Xiong should have died at the hands of Sun Jian, but Sun Jian was beaten away by Li Yao, so Hua Xiong survived.

Now Hua Xiong has three choices, one is to go to Dong Min, who is Dong Zhuo’s third brother, the other is to go to Dong Huang, who is Dong Zhuo’s nephew, and the third is to go to Li Ru, who is Dong Zhuo’s adviser.

Dong Min and Dong Huang have troops at hand, so it is safer to go to them, but Li Ru is obviously smarter, so Hua Xiong chooses to go to Li Ru.

Hua Xiong broke into Li Ru's place and found Li Ru, but now Li Ru's clothes are disheveled, his face looks depressed, and he just keeps drinking.

Hua Xiong was full of anxiety, and snatched the jug away, and said loudly:

"Sir, why are you still drinking? People are shouting outside, saying that the Grand Master is dead. What should we do?"

Li Ru was taken away from the flagon, and he didn't care, his mouth was full of alcohol, and he shook his head mockingly:
"What should I do? I'm just waiting to die! It's a pity that my ambition has not been paid, and my great cause has not been accomplished. Grand Master, if you can listen to my words, how could you end up in such a state..."

Hua Xiong's expression changed, if he knew that Li Ru had become like this, he might as well go to Dong Min, Dong Huang, maybe he could find the backbone.

At this moment, a young girl walked in slowly with an old woman on her arm. The old woman was very old, at least eight or ninety years old, her eyes were cloudy and she couldn't see. She said sadly:
"Is it Wen Xiansheng? My son was killed. He did a lot of wrong things. If he deserved it, but Bai is still young, she shouldn't die here. Please think of a way, sir!"

Hearing this and seeing such a scene, Li Ru jumped up immediately, looked at Hua Xiong, then at the grandparent and grandson, his face was uncertain, he could die, but the Dong family could not die.

Immediately, Li Ru quickly said:
"Come on, let's go now. Don't go to Dong Min and Dong Huang, the two generals who are guarding the gate of the city. You just need to send someone to tell them to leave Chang'an with your confidantes. Now that the grand master is dead, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong can't be trusted. Even the troops under them can't be trusted. Once the emperor's edict comes out, they will be traitors. At this time, they can only leave..."

"Don't think about resisting to the end, escape if you can, and escape to Shan County. General Niu Fu still has more than half of the main force of the Xiliang Army under his command. Duan Yan and Dong Yue can still be trusted..."

"No, it's too far away. If the imperial court sends people to hunt him down, we won't be able to escape at all. We're going to Lantian to find Li Yao. We'll go to Cai's mansion right away and bring Cai Yong with me. Those are the shackles I put on Li Yao. This shackle cannot fall into the imperial court's hands!"

Li Ru was Li Ru, and he found a way out of a dead end in an instant, with clear thinking and well-founded reasons.

With Li Ru's advice, Hua Xiong immediately went down to make arrangements, and they left here quickly.

After a while, more than a dozen flying bear soldiers forced their way into Cai's mansion. After finding Cai Yong, they set him up regardless of the opponent's struggle, and then led him away from home to the city gate.

Cai Yong didn't even react, he kept angrily saying:
"What are you doing? Let me down! Let me down!"

After meeting at the gate of the city, Li Ru looked at Cai Yong and said calmly:
"Cai Zhonglang, offended, now is the time to use you!"

Looking at Li Ru, Cai Yong gritted his teeth. In fact, this person is too hateful, he did evil, helped the evildoers, and harmed his daughter.

But Li Ru no longer paid attention to him, but turned to look at Li Meng, Wang Fang:
"Either leave with us, or surrender directly to the court, don't resist, risk your life in vain, wait for the opportunity, we will come back again, and then we will avenge the Grand Master!"

Li Meng, Wang Fang, they were greatly favored by Dong Zhuo, but they didn't want to waste their lives, so they said one after another:
"I stayed!"

"I'm staying too!"

After finishing his instructions, Li Ru greeted Hua Xiong, and immediately led them away without staying for a moment. This Chang'an was no longer the Chang'an they were familiar with, but a cave of dragons and tigers.

After leaving Chang'an, they went straight to Lantian. There were very few people who dared to confront the imperial court, and Li Yao was one of them. That's why Li Ru chose to flee to Lantian.

But after running for less than ten miles, there was the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground from behind, as well as the sound of scolding and cursing. Obviously, this was the person who came to chase and kill.

It is absolutely impossible for Wang Yun and Lu Bu to control the entire Chang'an so quickly, but after they fled, they still sent people to hunt them down immediately.

Hua Xiong's face changed drastically, he looked to the left and right and ordered directly:
"Zhu Neng, Yang Xing, take a hundred cavalry and stay behind to block the enemy!"

Hearing this, the person who was named gritted his teeth hard, and finally responded loudly:
"Follow the order!"

The few hundred people were divided into a hundred cavalry, and they waited in place, while the rest left at a high speed.

It didn't take long, Zhu Neng and Yang Xing had already seen the people who came to pursue them, at least thousands of cavalry.

Seeing the flags they played, Zhu Neng gritted his teeth and said:
"It's from Bingzhou!"

Yang Xing roared:
"Revenge for Grand Master!"

Immediately, the two charged the enemy with all the cavalry. Dong Zhuo was still a bit loyal, and he was really good to his own people.

After a while of fighting, the ground was full of corpses. Wei Xu, Lu Bu's general, panted heavily, and then cursed angrily:

"These Liangzhou barbarians are really difficult to deal with wearing iron armor!"

On the other side, Lv Bu's general Cheng Lian also felt uncomfortable, but he frowned and said:
"Dong Thief's family is far away. In this direction, they are going to flee to Lantian, which is guarded by General Li Yao. Shall we continue to pursue?"

Wei Xu burst out laughing, his face was full of obstinacy:
"Of course we have to chase. In the imperial court, it's not up to the people of Liangzhou to make decisions. As long as we threaten them, Li Yao will definitely hand them over!"

When Cheng Lian heard this, he nodded and said:
"Then continue to pursue, but Li Yao should not be underestimated. His troops are all elite cavalry from Liangzhou!"

After the two exchanged opinions, dozens of people were left behind to take care of the wounded and clean the battlefield. As for Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, they continued to pursue with the rest.

After chasing all the way to the Lantian camp, in just an instant, a large number of cavalrymen came out all around, and with the sound of hooves, they quickly surrounded Cheng Lian and Wei Xu.
