Can I get to the other side?

The night was hazy and the moon was bright in the sky.

The streets of Xu County, which had entered curfew, were empty and quiet, but soon the quiet was broken by the sound of footsteps and armor colliding.

A group of armored soldiers holding torches stepped into the street and ran towards the direction of Sikong Mansion under the moonlight - they were the Tiger Guards!

Most of these guards were stained with blood. They first fought with the guards planted by Cao Cao in the palace and killed them all before killing them.

At this time, Dong Cheng and Emperor Xian of Han were also among them.

Dong Cheng was wearing armor, with a bloody blade in his hand and an amazing murderous aura all over his body;

Emperor Xian of Han sat on the dragon chariot, wearing the emperor's crown and holding the emperor's sword in his hand, and was surrounded by the Tiger Guards.

"Your Majesty, the Sikong Mansion is ahead!"

"As long as Cao Cao is killed, the military power can be seized!"

Dong Cheng said, suppressing his joy.

Eight hundred Tiger Guards, Cao Cao's troops were simply unable to resist, victory was within reach, and the position of the general was just around the corner!

Emperor Xian of Han did not speak after hearing this, he was very nervous at this moment, even the hand holding the Emperor's Sword was full of sweat.

"I can't be timid, things have come to this point, there is no turning back, only by successfully seizing power can I get rid of the fate of a puppet!"

"I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! The two capitals and thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are all on my shoulders, I have no choice but to succeed!"

Emperor Xian of Han silently warned himself in his heart.

His eyes gradually became firm.

Not long after, everyone arrived outside the Sikong Mansion.

Then they had to stop.

Because at this time, right in front of them, rows and rows of armored soldiers holding heavy shields had already been waiting here, all dressed in armor, at least thousands of people!

"Damn it! Why are the city defense troops here?!"

Dong Cheng's face suddenly turned ugly. How long did it take for them to come here from the incident in the palace? How could the city defense troops come so quickly?

He even recognized the general leading the troops on the opposite side.

He had only one eye, and it was Xiahou Dun!

Emperor Xian of Han did not expect that there would be so many soldiers here. After gritting his teeth, he stood up from the dragon chariot, looked coldly at the many city defense troops in front of him who were waiting in full battle array, and shouted in a stern voice:

"I want to enter the palace to kill the traitors! Who gave you the courage to stop me here? You are holding a knife against me, do you want to rebel!"

"Get out of here!"

Although Emperor Xian of Han usually behaved cowardly, he was the emperor after all. At this time, he was not afraid of thousands of soldiers in danger, and the majesty of the emperor he showed was quite amazing.

After he shouted like that, the city defense soldiers in the front row all showed fear on their faces. They couldn't help but take a step back and lowered the blades in their hands.

Although most of them had never seen the emperor, they still recognized Emperor Xian of Han in his dragon robe and crown. At this time, he called him "I", so how could they not panic.

"That's it!"

Dong Cheng was delighted when he saw this. It was indeed the right thing to let the emperor come with him today. As long as the emperor showed up, these city defense soldiers would not dare to act rashly!

They might even turn against him!

Thinking of this, he no longer remained silent, and stood up and shouted loudly: "The thief Cao held the emperor hostage and disrupted the court order. His crimes are extremely serious!"

"Your Majesty will come in person tonight and lead the Tiger Guards to eliminate the traitors. Since you are soldiers of our Han Dynasty, you should help the emperor to fight against the traitors. How can you help Cao to be cruel!"

"Make way quickly! Let your majesty enter the palace to kill the thief Cao!"

As soon as the voice fell, the eight hundred Tiger Guards stepped forward and shouted at the same time: "Kill the traitor! Support the Han Dynasty!"

"Kill the traitor! Support the Han Dynasty!"

"Kill the traitor! Support the Han Dynasty!"

The roar of the Tiger Guards was extremely powerful and imposing, causing many city defense troops to retreat continuously and dare not confront them.

Only Xiahou Dun stood still, and said expressionlessly: "Dong Cheng held the emperor hostage, and your majesty was deceived by Dong Cheng and wanted to kill loyal ministers!"

"Don't be deceived by the traitors! Kill the traitors! Save your majesty!"

"Go!"

Xiahou Dun's words stabilized the army's morale. Most of the city defense troops believed in Cao Cao more than Dong Cheng, and the originally low morale was re-condensed.

Under Xiahou Dun's urging, they rushed towards the Huben guards!

"How dare you be rude!"

Emperor Xian of Han never thought that Xiahou Dun would dare to give the order directly. He was so angry that he drew out the emperor's sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "Cao Mengde's heart! Passersby know it!"

"Kill the traitor today!"

"I will advance and retreat with all the soldiers!"

This is exactly:

Get on the car and draw the sword, jump and fight the rebellious ministers!

Lingyun feels the stars shining, get on the chariot to punish the rebellious ministers!

The words and deeds of Emperor Xian of Han greatly boosted the morale of the Tiger Guards. It was such an honor for the emperor to fight side by side with them!

"Kill!"

The city defense army and the Tiger Guards instantly fought to the same place.

Although the Tiger Guards were the elite among the elite and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, the city defense army was not weak either. The two sides fought hard and the battlefield was in chaos.

Emperor Xian of Han was so excited that he wanted to take the Emperor's sword and kill the traitor several times, but he was suppressed by Dong Cheng every time.

"Are you crazy? Sit here honestly!"

Dong Cheng looked ugly and cursed in a low voice.

He did not dare to leave the side of Emperor Xian of Han for a moment, because if something happened to Emperor Xian of Han, everything would be over, and Cao Cao would definitely put the blame on him.

At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had fully awakened to the blood of the Han Emperor. He still had no trace of his usual cowardice. He threw away Dong Cheng's hand and said angrily: "A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time!"

"Tonight, I have put my life and death at risk! I will definitely kill Cao Cao and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty!"

After speaking, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty jumped off the dragon chariot and rushed forward to hack a soldier to death. However, due to his identity, the surrounding city defense troops only dared to retreat, and no one dared to attack him.

Dong Cheng looked dumbfounded from behind.

This guy...is he acting?

At this moment, he suddenly saw a large number of city defense troops holding torches rushing toward the battlefield at the other end of the street, and his expression changed drastically!

"Oops!"

Seeing these city defense troops, Dong Cheng knew that there was no chance of killing Cao Cao tonight. It was impossible for the eight hundred tiger guards to defeat so many city defense troops!

Without hesitation, he directly led two guards forward and forced Emperor Xian of Han onto the dragon chariot and withdrew back.

"Let go! Let me go!"

"I will continue to kill the enemy!"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was furious. He had never felt as happy as today since he ascended the throne and became the emperor. This was the day when he looked most like an emperor!

When Dong Cheng heard this, he just wanted to give him two big-eared melon seeds to wake him up. This false emperor really couldn't understand the situation!

"Don't kill! Cao Cao's reinforcements are coming!"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked in the direction of Dong Cheng's finger, and then saw countless city defense troops holding torches rushing towards here in the streets in the distance!

The number far exceeds that of the Tiger Guards!

Seeing this, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his heart, which was originally filled with passion.

"Where, where did all this army come from!"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty finally couldn't help but started to panic. He grabbed Dong Cheng's hand and said, "There are so many people that we can't defeat. Didn't you say that we would win? What should we do!"

Dong Cheng looked ugly. He had not expected that the mutiny would go so poorly tonight. Cao Cao was obviously much weaker than Yuan Shao, so why could the Emperor of Yecheng succeed but they couldn't?

Why!

Although he was filled with reluctance, Dong Cheng still calmed down and ordered: "Escape to the west gate! The city defense troops are here now, and the defense at the city gate must be weak! Let's fight out!"

He didn't even have the confidence to say this.

No matter how weak the defensive force at the city gate is, they cannot break through, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to mobilize all the city defense troops.

But there is no other way now.

If you retreat to the palace or fight to the death here, you will definitely die. Only by trying to rush out of the city can you have a chance of survival!

Following Dong Cheng's order, the Huben guards surrounded the emperor's dragon chariot and fled to the west gate. Seeing this, Xiahou Dun led the city defense troops to chase after him leisurely.

He always kept a certain distance from Emperor Xian of Han and others.

The two sides chased each other and soon arrived at the west gate. Then Dong Cheng saw that the west gate was not closed and there were no defenders on the wall!

"This thief is really stupid!"

Dong Cheng was overjoyed when he saw this, and without doubting his presence, he directly drove the Emperor's dragon chariot out of the city and headed for the military camp in the western suburbs.

There are also two thousand of his private troops there!

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was very surprised when he saw Xu County, but at the same time he remembered something and couldn't help but said to Dong Cheng anxiously: "We have to go back, the emperor... my concubine is still in the palace!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Are you going back to seek death?!"

Dong Cheng glared at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. How could he care about the concubines in the harem at this time? He couldn't even care about his daughter Dong Guiren when she was still in the palace!

But this is all a trivial matter, it's just a daughter, it's just a matter of rebirth. Anyway, the emperor is still young and he is still in the prime of life. It will not be difficult for him to have a daughter as his queen in the future.

"But……"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was extremely worried. If Empress Fu stayed in Xu County, she would definitely be retaliated by Cao Cao. I heard that the traitor was quite a good wife, so she would definitely not let Empress Fu go!

But Dong Cheng didn't care what Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty thought. Before he could finish his words, he whipped his horse whip hard, and the dragon chariot sped up and rushed towards the military camp.

All the soldiers in the military camp did not rest tonight.

Because Dong Cheng had notified them in advance that if they succeed in the incident, they will immediately call all the garrison into the city and take over the city defense.

But now that the mutiny has failed, they can only lead the garrison to escort Emperor Xian of Han to escape, and can no longer stay.

…

Ximen City Head.

Xiahou Dun watched the emperor's dragon chariot go away. He couldn't help but frown. He looked at Xu Chu with one eye and asked, "Why did my lord let Dong Cheng and the emperor go?"

If it weren't for Cao Cao's order, Dong Cheng's eight hundred tiger guards would have been surrounded and killed by them outside the Sikong Mansion, let alone escaping from the city.

"I don't know."

Xu Chu spread his hands and expressed that he was also confused.

Xiahou Dun sighed after hearing this, knowing that his question was in vain, so he ordered to withdraw his troops and return to Sikong Mansion to report to Cao Cao.

…

Inside the Yang Mansion, outside the wing.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Is Mr. Yang asleep?"

"Dong dong dong!"

A knock on the door woke Yang Biao up from his sleep. He put on his clothes and got out of bed and went to open the door. When he found that it was Xu You standing outside the door, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Why did Ziyuan come so late at night?"

Xu You breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if Mr. Yang is still asleep. Please clean up quickly and I'll take you out of the city."

"What? Out of town?"

Yang Biao lost all his sleepiness after hearing this, and couldn't help asking: "It's curfew now, the city gates are closed, how can we leave the city?"

Xu You explained: "Dong Cheng launched a mutiny and fled Xu County with the fake emperor. Now the city is in chaos, Cao Cao asked me to take advantage of the chaos to send you out of the city."

"???"

Yang Biao was even more confused.

How come he could understand each of these words, but he couldn't understand them together?

Dong Cheng launched a mutiny?

Cao Cao wanted to send them out?

What's going on!

Xu You had to tell the imperial edict again, and said: "Dong Cheng and his men launched a mutiny tonight, and Cao Cao deliberately let him escape to get rid of the crime of holding the emperor hostage."

"As for you, Lord Yang, you also have the father-in-law and the queen, and Cao Cao also plans to send them all away, so I let you go on purpose."

"This is a rare opportunity to get away. The carriage is already waiting outside, and I still have to find Fu Guozhang and the queen, so don't waste time;"

He was called over by Cao Cao in the middle of the night.

He did not expect that Dong Cheng and the fake emperor would dare to launch a mutiny to seize power, and he did not expect that Cao Cao would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to break the conspiracy of the imperial edict.

He could only admire Cao Cao's quick wit.

At the same time, he could not help but feel regretful.

Because if the fake emperor did not launch a mutiny, then with Cao Cao's character, he would most likely choose to serve the emperor in Yecheng when he had no choice.

Yang Biao's heart suddenly chilled after hearing this.

With his experienced eyes, how could he not see that the imperial edict was to kill them? It was basically a game with their lives, completely ruining the reputation of the fake emperor, forcing Cao Cao to serve, or completely become an enemy!

A move that can be called an unsolvable conspiracy!

"No wonder your majesty was able to succeed in the mutiny in Yecheng and drive Yuan Shao out. Such means, such a heart, and such cruelty... are really terrible."

Yang Biao's heart was very complicated.

Although he felt a little chilled by Liu Xie's approach, he was more willing and admired from the bottom of his heart.

This shows that Liu Xie has grown into a qualified emperor. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he is ruthless and cold-blooded. This is the mentality that a superior should have.

In the past, Emperor Taizu Gao pushed even his own daughter off the carriage in order to escape.

Everything can be sacrificed to establish the reputation of the orthodox Han Dynasty!

With such an emperor, why should the Han Dynasty not prosper?

"It's a pity that Cao Cao is a coward. If he kills me directly, it will also be considered as a complete reputation. My Yang family will definitely be reused by the emperor!"

Yang Biao is not afraid of death. He would rather die in exchange for the prosperity of the Yang family; he knows that the emperor knows his thoughts, so he and him have reached the same tacit understanding.

If Cao Cao chooses to kill him, then when the emperor revives the Han Dynasty, his Yang family will be among the top three in the merit list, which can at least guarantee the prosperity of the next one or two hundred years!

But Cao Cao's cowardice ruined it all.

After a slight sigh, Yang Biao packed up briefly, followed Xu You and left the Yang Mansion, went to the dungeon where Fu Wan was imprisoned, and rescued Fu Wan.

Finally, he went to the palace.

To find Empress Fu.
