Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 502 Secretly crossing Chencang
There were less than a thousand soldiers left inside the palace gate, and they all fled in all directions. As they ran away, the soldiers outside the palace gate who had not yet directly seen Wei Ji and others escape soon learned about the situation inside and their morale plummeted.

The soldiers outside the palace fled, and naturally there was no one to stop them. In a short while, the soldiers who had just been desperately attacking the palace gate had disappeared among the mansions and streets in the northern city of Luoyang.

Deng Yuan shot and killed a slow-running rebel.

"These guys aren't very good at fighting, but they're pretty fast at running away."

"Ouch, ow, ow..."

Da Meng was in such a killing mood that he could not help but imitate the roar of the tiger under his crotch. When he saw the rebels running away, he quickly chased after them.

Zhao Yun quickly called him back.

"Hey, Da Meng, stop chasing me. Have you forgotten what the military advisor told you?"

Da Meng didn't care about these things: "I don't remember. Da Meng just knew that the military advisor said that if we win the battle and rescue the eldest brother of the Liu family, we will have beef to eat."

Zhao Yun was left speechless after hearing his answer.

Deng Yuan looked at Zhao Yun and couldn't help but smile. He patted Da Meng on the shoulder.

"Da Meng, the military advisor also said that you have to listen to me and Zilong when you come out this time, otherwise there will be no beef. My lord, oh, your eldest brother of the Liu family, may not come back."

Da Meng slapped his head heavily.

"That's right, Da Meng is stupid and almost harmed the eldest brother of the Liu family. Da Meng will listen to you."

When the two heard this, they were a little surprised that he could still regret "harming the eldest brother of the Liu family" but did not mention "not being able to eat beef".

However, after a brief surprise, the two of them hurriedly followed Xun Yu's instructions, took out Liu He's "General's Seal", and showed it to the imperial guards at the north gate.

"My name is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong. This is Deng Yuan, Deng Ziyang. And this one, I'm sure you're all familiar with him, is General Wang Han. The three of us have been ordered by the military advisor to come and assist the Imperial Guards, wipe out the rebels, and stabilize the palace. Soldiers, follow me and rush to each gate to kill all the rebels!"

These imperial guards were unfamiliar with Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan, but they were of course familiar with Da Meng. In addition, with the seal of the general in Zhao Yun's hand, they naturally believed his words completely.

In this way, Zhao Yun left behind a part of the Imperial Guards to take care of the injured soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers all followed him and Deng Yuan and ran towards the east gate and the south gate separately.

Luoyang City was the largest city in the Han Dynasty, covering a vast area. It took Chen Ji and his party two quarters of an hour to walk from the imperial palace to the east gate of the city, but they still couldn't reach the destination. In the end, the elderly Chen Ji could no longer hold on, so the soldiers had to find a carriage to carry him on.

The sudden outbreak of war inside and outside the city had already made this most prosperous city of the Han Dynasty a place where everyone was in danger. As they walked along the way, they saw that every house was closed and the streets were deserted.

They were almost at the city gate. The noise of fighting from the palace behind them could no longer be heard here, but the faint shouting and screaming coming from the front made Chen Ji and Zheng Tai even more excited.

They quickened their pace and headed towards the east gate of Luoyang City. Outside the east gate was the official road leading to Hulao Pass, so in Chen Ji's mind, this gate was naturally the first one that needed to be breached.

It was already noon, and three hours had passed since the court meeting began. It was early summer, and Chen Ji was old and frail. He had already been panting and sweating all the way from the palace to here. But despite this, he could not hide the joy on his face.

He hurried to the gate, and sure enough, there were shouts of killing outside the gate, and the flashes of swords and sabers on the tower. Behind the gate, more than a dozen soldiers were holding the gate tightly. It was obvious that something heavy was hitting it from outside, causing dust to fall from above the gate.

"Well, little Liu He, your luck has run out!"

Chen Ji's old face was almost distorted with excitement.

"Kill these gatekeepers and open the city gate!"

The soldiers behind the city gate and the soldiers who were fighting desperately on the city wall were frightened when they saw Chen Ji leading thousands of soldiers to attack them suddenly with murderous intent.

"What's going on? Why did the gentlemen lead troops to attack the city gate?"

"Did they rebel?"

"We can vaguely see something strange happening in the direction of the palace from the tower. Could it be that a battle is also taking place there? What should we do?"

"No, we have to defend the city gate no matter what!"

"But there are tens of thousands of troops outside who are attacking the city. There are too many of them. We are already struggling. Now we are in trouble."

The soldiers defending the city fell into chaos, which made Chen Ji very happy.

"Okay, okay, the city gate is about to be captured, hurry up, kill them!"

However, the dozen or so soldiers guarding the city gate, although panicked, were soldiers who had followed Liu He for many years and soon calmed down. Several of them poked their spears into the ground to temporarily hold up the city gate for themselves. Then they drew their swords, stood in a row, occupied the narrow terrain of the city gate, and fought with the rebels who were rushing over.

These soldiers responded calmly and cooperated with each other. In the blink of an eye, they killed dozens of rebels who rushed over.

"Damn it, what a bunch of rubbish!"

Chen Ji became angry and embarrassed.

Zheng Tai advised: "Mr. Chen, they are inside the city gate and cannot be surrounded from all sides. We can only fight head-on. But how can our servants be a match for these elite soldiers? However, ants can kill elephants. They have been fighting for a long time and will soon be exhausted."

That being said, for some reason, Chen Ji's heart suddenly began to beat faster and his right eyelid twitched for no reason.

"No, I always feel like something is going to happen..."

Zheng Tai looked at him in confusion: "Why did Lord Chen say that? The situation is now in our hands. Benchu's army has gathered at Huguan Pass. After we take Luoyang and Hulao Pass, we will send troops to attack Shangdang from the rear and defeat Guan Yu in one fell swoop. Then we will issue a letter to lead the princes of the world to attack Yanmen together. After that, the overall situation will be settled. What else can happen?"

Chen Ji felt inexplicably nervous. He turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial palace, then walked back and forth a few steps, and then suddenly gave an order.

“No matter what, block them all! Stomp them to death, and open the city gate as soon as possible!”

"This..." Zheng Tai hesitated. "Mr. Chen, the city gate is so narrow. If these thousands of soldiers rush in, not only will they be helpless, but they may even trample their own people to death."

"Oh, I don't care about that anymore. Let's rush forward quickly. Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed!"

He almost yelled the last four words.

Although the thousands of soldiers behind him were extremely puzzled and did not agree with this, after all, he was the master and they were the servants.
In desperation, thousands of people had to bite the bullet and rush towards the city gate together.

But Chen Ji had a good idea. Thousands of people rushing forward to deal with a dozen people would be a piece of cake in an ordinary place. Even ten Liu Hes would not be able to resist.

However, the city gate was only about 20 feet wide, and the more people rushed in, the more chaotic it would become. These improvised servants were already somewhat chaotic, and if they dragged on like this, they would be able to capture the city in less than a quarter of an hour and at the cost of dozens of soldiers' lives. But at this moment, everyone rushed in, making the battle even more chaotic.

There were thousands of soldiers, you pushed me and I stepped on you, you cursed me and I cursed you twice, and in the blink of an eye, it was a mess.

And at this moment, several figures appeared behind Chen Ji and Zheng Tai.

"Minister Chen, Praetorian Guards, we meet again."

When they heard the voice, their hearts skipped a beat.

They opened their eyes wide, turned around slowly, and then seemed to have seen something terrifying, and their expressions became shocked and terrified.

"You...how did you..."

"Aren't you dead..."

Yang Biao and others who were being escorted by soldiers not far from them showed expressions of great surprise.

The person who appeared before their eyes was none other than Liu He, who they firmly believed was only breathing his last breath even if he was not dead.

Liu He, who had clearly been "breathing weakly" in the palace just now, was now standing in front of them in good health. Not to mention being dead, he didn't even have a single injury on his body.

"How is it possible? How is it possible? Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Liu He? What is your intention?!"

Chen Ji and Zheng Tai stepped back repeatedly, totally unable to believe that the Liu He in front of them was real.

Liu He just smiled and didn't say anything to them. Instead, he turned around and waved behind him.

Then, a beast roar was heard, which was earth-shaking and frightening all the beasts. A black shadow suddenly jumped out, jumped directly over the heads of Liu He and the other two, and came in front of Liu He.

"Ah... Tiger..."

The Black King is now in his prime, with strong muscles and a plump body. In addition, he has followed Liu He in battle for many years, and has killed countless horses and enemy soldiers at his claws and fangs. He is so murderous that even an ordinary wild tiger cannot be compared with him.

At this moment, he opened his bloody mouth and looked at the two old men in front of him in an attacking posture. The tiger hair on his body almost stood up, and his face was so ferocious that Chen Ji and Zheng Tai were so scared that they sat down on the ground.

The Black King's roar calmed the chaotic rebels on the spot, and the soldiers guarding the city on the top and bottom of the city walls were greatly encouraged when they saw the Black King, Liu He and the other two appear.

"It's him...it's him...the Black Tiger mount, only he can give orders..."

Jung Tae was so frightened that he stuttered over his words.

"Hehe, these two old guys, the Black King hasn't done anything yet, but they showed their teeth, almost frightening them to death. They really should let everyone see their moral character."

Zhu Ye sneered at the two of them.

"You...you are just a brat, how dare you humiliate me!"

Chen Ji was so angry after being scolded by Zhu Ye.

"I have humiliated and scolded you, what are you going to do with it?"

Zhu Ye not only cursed, but also walked towards Chen Ji step by step.

Chen Ji and Zheng Tai were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Even though they were slumped on the ground, they kept moving backwards.

At this time, Chen Ji turned his head and saw Yang Biao and others who were tied up tightly beside him. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stood up, ran behind them, and put the sword in his hand on Cui Lie's neck.

"Don't come over here! If you take another step, I'll kill Cui Lie first!"

Zhu Ye paused and had to stop.

"Fifth brother, please step back."

Liu He called out from behind, and Zhu Ye then retreated back to his side.

Liu He took two steps forward, and Chen Ji immediately shouted, "Don't come over, or I'll kill him!"

"Okay, okay, I won't go over there."

Liu He raised his hands, stopped, and looked at Chen Ji and Zheng Tai with an amused expression.

"You two are elders. What do you think of Liu's secret plan?"

His words made the two of them blush, then purple, then white, and no one knew whether it was out of shame, anger, or anxiety.
