That night, the Sunset Pavilion, more than 20 miles from the western suburbs of Luoyang, was the Grand Camp of Bingzhou.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, with one pavilion of ten miles. Gucheng County and Luoyang were forty miles apart, with three pavilions in the middle. The Sunset Pavilion was halfway, which was the place where Dong Zhuo stationed his troops.

Because of Li Su's butterfly effect, Dong Zhuo's efforts to urge the infantry to supervise the reinforcements of the rear army were far beyond the same period in history - because Dong Zhuo also knew that if three thousand Youzhou cavalry entered Luoyang and he had only three thousand Xiliang troops, it would be impossible to ensure that the opponent was suppressed and the force of the capital was controlled.

However, despite increasing the supervision efforts, his 20,000 infantry army was still struggling to move forward at a speed of sixty or seventy miles a day in the Huhan Road. He could not leave Hongnong County and enter Henan Yin within four or five days.

In order to mobilize so many troops, Dong Zhuo even sacrificed the battle situation on the Hedong battlefield - the Bai Bo army, which was destroyed by Guan Yu at the beginning of the year, had already lost Yang Feng and Li Le's troops, and only 60% of the combat power was left compared to the same period in history.

However, Dong Zhuo exhausted the lake and fished and drew all the mobile troops from Hedong, causing the Baibo army to turn defense into offense on the Hedong battlefield. Wenxi, who was revived by the court during the Guanyu era, and Zhouyang counties were once again captured by the thief.

In the Fengshui River Basin, Dong Zhuo only has the territory in Zhouzhi'anyi, Laochao Jieliang, and Puyangjin, which is the ferry.

It can only be said that Dong Zhuo has completely bet on all his chips for the sake of Luoyang situation, and even if his money and grain supply land was taken back by Bai Bojun, he would not care about it.

Not only did he draw so many soldiers, he also transferred many elite generals, Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Li Jue and Guo Si, all of whom were transferred to the capital. Only his son-in-law Niu Fu and his younger brother Dong Min were guarding Anyi, Jie Liang, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were the two deputy generals respectively.

Dong Zhuo was woken up by his subordinates at midnight that day.

"Empress, there is a light of fire in Luoyang!" Staff Li Ru and his general Li Jue instructed in unison.

Dong Zhuo rubbed his eyes, woke up for a while, and looked east, and he saw that the sky was slightly red.

In ancient cities, there were no high-rise buildings, only palaces were built on high platforms with rammed earth bases and raised layers backwards.

The Book of the Later Han Dynasty clearly records that the Wei Que on both sides of the Deyang Hall of the North Palace and the Vermilion Que on the Nangong can be seen in Yanshi County, forty-three miles away from Luoyang!

Of course, you can also see the spires of the Wei Que in the Sunset Pavilion where Dong Zhuo is located.

When the flames only spread in the low buildings in the palace, the fire burned very much, and only outside the city could you feel the light of the fire in the east.

However, when the Suzakuge is ignited, it is as conspicuous as the lighthouse.

This is a fire that hits the eyes directly! It is not a secondary diffuse reflection of the sky!

"It's Zhuqueque that caught fire! There must be a change in the palace! Immediately lit all the cavalry of the flying bear army to advance eastward!" Dong Zhuo immediately reacted and personally put on his horse.

Twenty miles are not far from the cavalry. In history, Dong Zhuo did not pick up the Shao Emperor first. The key is not the distance, but he did not know where the Shao Emperor was and could not find the right place.

Once the emperor is taken to the countryside by eunuchs, it is not about who is close, but about who is lucky. Maybe you will be with a large group of people, but the emperor and King Chenliu will hide timidly and not let you find him. You must meet a small civil servant before you dare to meet him.

Therefore, those who think that Dong Zhuo cannot catch up with the protection of his journey are actually completely untenable.

This time, Dong Zhuo was also the first goal to go to the nearest Luoyang Xicheng Gate to see if the defenders could let him go into the city. If he couldn't enter, he had to ask slowly at dawn and then follow the information to find a way to find out.

...

After dawn, at the beginning of the Chen hour, the last entry of Nangong was in Wende Hall.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were in a panic and were already waiting for the final trial.

Even if Yuan Shao and Wu Kuang attacked slowly, they had already reached the last main gate in front of Wende Hall.

Yuan Shu, who was even more lawless, tried to set fire to a certain section of the palace wall everywhere, and directly demolished the wall and detoured it, and stabbed it in.

"It's urgent. Please ask the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to go from the overpass to the Beigong! I swear to stop the rebellious soldiers here to die!" Zhang Rang decided to ask Empress Dowager He to go on the road.

Of course, Empress Dowager He had to struggle: "I will not go anywhere! I will come, I will not leave!"

As Da Changqiu, Zhao Zhong was loyal to his duties and refuted to Zhang Rang: "The Empress Dowager is not allowed to be independent unless he is a childish age! How can we be rude to the Empress Dowager? Please ease it."

Zhang Rang slapped the table and scolded: "Now is the time to be polite! The chaotic soldiers rushed in and the jade and stones were burned. Can those people distinguish the queen mother? You are foolish and loyal to the queen mother in danger!"

Zhao Zhong gritted his teeth and compromised, "Shi Shi Zhang took Your Majesty first, I personally send the Empress Dowager to Beigong. You can't force me!"

Then Zhao Zhong turned to Empress Dowager He: "Empress Dowager! I can only do this. If the Empress Dowager refuses to obey, I am afraid that even such conditions will not be able to win over for the Empress Dowager after I die. Then others will definitely be even more rude to the Empress Dowager!"

Queen Mother He had no choice. She also knew that Zhao Zhong was telling the truth. At this critical moment, if Zhao Zhong defended him, he would probably be killed by his accomplices in a hurry. The others were not as loyal to her as Zhao Zhong.

She had to give up half and be led by Zhao Zhong to follow her.

On the north side of Wende Hall is the north wall of Nangong, and on the south side of Deyang Hall is the south wall of Beigong. Both walls are three meters high and there is a corridor two meters wide in the middle...

Lu Zhi and Li Su, who have pretended to be ordinary guards guarding the corridor between the two walls, pretended that nothing had happened and have been waiting here for a long time.

Until they saw the overpass surrounded by imperial covers and other ornaments, Lu Zhi made a quick decision, believing that the emperor was moved to the Beigong by the eunuchs.

Don’t be curious about how Lu Zhi judged it, because Lu Zhi judged it in official history. Without Li Su’s help, he just guarded the bottom of the overpass alone. It was obvious that he had a better look, or was too familiar with the inner palace and the royal family members, and could tell through the bridge window by looking at clues.

Lu Zhi immediately shouted: "Where will you go if you dare to rob him? You can't let go of the emperor quickly, the queen mother!"

Li Su was shocked by the side. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi was so old, and his righteous shout was so loud, no less than Zhang Fei!

Otherwise, his voice in history would not be enough to shock Zhao Zhong's shame, relax his control over Empress Dowager He and give Empress Dowager He a chance to jump off the bridge.

However, this time, Lu Zhi shouted again: "The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty can jump off the bridge and escape quickly! I have laid a soft quilt under the bridge to respond! I will not worry!"

Empress Dowager He was in sorrow and panic. She was shocked and stunned for a second or two when she heard the sound, but also looked along the sound and saw dozens of quilts under the overpass at some point.

The palace wall is three meters high, and the overpass is half a meter higher than the palace wall, so it can only be built with two palaces in the north and south. So if you jump out of the window, it will be about seven or eight meters high. If you have a quilt and someone catches it, you will definitely not be able to die.

Queen Mother He didn't know where the strength and courage came from, maybe it was the inertia of fate. Seeing Zhao Zhong being so scared by Lu Zhi's loud shout that he was at a loss. He didn't come to support her for a while, the Queen Mother ran two steps and broke through the window and jumped out of the bridge.

"Catch the Queen Mother quickly!" Li Su was wearing armor, afraid that the noble man would fall to death with the iron armor, so he held two quilts outside the iron armor to cushion.

Seeing the empress dowager falling down, Li Su rushed over and wanted to use the quilt in her hand to buffer it.

"Puff--" Queen Mother He fell down. Li Su was too slow, one or two meters away from the landing point, so she got empty.

But Zhao Yun rushed over first, and he also held two quilts and wrapped Queen Mother He skillfully, just like a Southeast Asian master taking durian without any harm.

"Huh--It turns out that I still have to rely on Zilong for the operation. We are running too slowly." Li Su breathed a sigh of relief.

Queen Mother He felt dizzy, but it didn't hurt. When she came to her senses, she realized that she was cleverly wrapped in a quilt with a heroic iron-armored general.

But Zhao Yun did not catch Empress Dowager He for too long. His eyes were always on the overpass, so after just stabilizing the Empress Dowager for a second, he stuffed the quilt wrapped in the empress dowager into Li Su's arms, allowing Li Su to protect the empress dowager. Zhao Yun picked up a quilt on the ground and flew out.

Someone from above saw that the Empress Dowager had successfully escaped and jumped down like this!

Zhao Yun almost transformed into Zhang Wuji, the person who was jumping from the tower in Wan'an Temple, wrapped around the left and right gears, buffering one by one, further reducing the damage caused by everyone to land. Of course, it doesn't matter if he didn't catch it. The quilt was covered on the ground, it was just a little hurt or a broken arm or leg, and there would definitely be no worries about life.

Li Su hurriedly went to help, and he carried the empress dowager to the bottom of the overpass to sit so as not to be hit by the person jumping behind. Then he did his homework like Zhao Yun's assembly line. Zhao Yun took one and sent it to Li Su's arms, so that Li Su would carry it aside and put it in.

"Why is it another woman? Isn't it the emperor? Oh, it's Tang Ji."

"This is... King Chenliu! King Chenliu has jumped, why doesn't the emperor still jump? Could it be that he is being taken too seriously?"

"Is this... who are you? Where are the emperor?" When Li Su received the third person and found that he was another woman, he couldn't help but scolded him sternly regardless of the etiquette and law.

The little girl looked only eleven or twelve years old. She was so scared by Li Su's questioning that she cried a little, and explained innocently: "I...I am Princess Wan'an! Just now, my sister-in-law and I advised the emperor to take the opportunity to jump and fall and not die. The emperor is timid!"

The whole process is quite long, but in fact, it was only five or six seconds before Empress He landed on the ground. After hearing his daughter's crying, Empress He realized that her son was very timid. She cried and cried and cried and shouted to the overpass: "Bian'er! Don't be afraid! Only four meters tall, there is a quilt that cannot be killed! This brave general will catch you! Bian'er!"

"Mother...Mother, I don't dare." The cry of the young emperor Liu Bian gradually faded away. It was obvious that Zhang Rang had already reacted from the incident just now and completely held back and controlled Liu Bian.

Li Su stood dumbly, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.

No wonder this young emperor was deposed by Dong Zhuo. As expected, he is so timid and cowardly, he is famous for being the world.

His nine-year-old brother, his eleven-year-old sister and his thirteen-year-old concubine (concubine) dared to jump off the building and escape. He was fourteen years old and was still afraid of heights!

Is it that difficult to jump off the fourth floor?
