Li Ru left with Dong Cheng's military talisman seal and went to take over his troops.

Dong Cheng himself was still very calm and pretended to sigh and finished the meal slowly. He also asked the people in the kitchen for two pots of wine, pretended to drink and complained to Liang Xing about "official luck is not good."

He drank a little unqualified, and it took about half an hour to pass. It was about half past You and the hour of Xu that he wanted to return home with the intention of drinking.

He had just walked to the corridor at the door of the side hall of Shiqu Pavilion, and naturally someone came to persuade him. It was Li Xian, who was in charge of Suwei Palace, who was personally blocked by his soldiers: "Mr. Dong, please stay. Shizhong Li gave an order when he left. Before he came back, please sit down!"

Dong Cheng slanted with drunken eyes and said in anger, "Bastard! When you were still Dong Zhuo, you wouldn't let outsiders stay in the palace at night? Li Xian, don't be too arrogant to me. Your uncle is a pillar of the court, so there is nothing to say. We respect him. Your father is just a violent success. If you meet someone before, I dare not be arrogant, let alone you come!

This time, Guo Piaoqi will return to the court with Li Cheqi. He made great contributions in Longxi, so you should be more restrained at that time! The matters of our generals in Xiliang have always been discussed! If you are arrogant, aren’t you afraid that General Guo will use his excuses to establish his authority in the future!”

Li Xian didn't understand official struggles very much, so he was fooled by Dong Cheng, a veteran who was nepotism. He seemed to be drunk and spoke the truth after speaking the truth, but he was really stunned.

Indeed, if Li Jue's subordinates were now doing too ruthlessly in order to stabilize the rule of terror, Guo Si would return to the court in the future, and General Cavalry and General Cheval were on the same line. Li Jue in this life had not yet joined Sima and could not completely suppress the other party.

Even if Guo Si is a rough man and does not understand political struggles, if someone is interested in going to Guo Si to sue the truth and instigate Guo Si to "find someone who did too much before in the Li family, and have a solid handle, killing the chicken to scare the monkey to establish his authority." Then Li Jie may not be able to keep it.

As for political struggles, they are all exchanges of chips. In the previous stage, they are too aggressive and aggressive. Maybe they have to retreat and show weakness to find balance and calm the emotions of their political enemies.

Given Li's insidiousness, if it really came to that time, he might be disdainful to launch a cheap nephew who had a high hatred value in the Xiliang camp. Anyway, he had many nephews, and all nephews were worth it because of his title of Marquis, so they would have been worth it in this life. Even if one of them died, the other nephews would still devote themselves to Li Jue's life to the sake of the Marquis' and the senior officials.

Dong Chengmao was drunk, but he knew very well. He saw Li Xian's harsh and cowardly look at him and continued to complain just right: "I'm not Li Wenyou in a hurry to leave the palace as soon as he left, he's gone... It's been a while? He delayed his own work. If he didn't finish it overnight, I would have to stay overnight? Do you think I want to leave? Today, Japan is the palace that was disturbed by him. Isn't it uncomfortable to drink too much, and I stayed in front of the palace and lost my etiquette and burped-"

As he spoke, Dong Cheng burped angrily.

In the end, this acting was just right, which made Li Xian realize: Dong Cheng was not afraid or anxious, but he just drank too much and wanted to leave unexpectedly. Moreover, today's meeting was originally proposed by Li Ru, and Dong Cheng didn't know what Li Ru was going to do, so how could he prepare for anything else?

Moreover, Dong Cheng is the uncle of the country, so it would be fine if he stayed in the palace, but Liang Xing is a rough man, so it would be a big deal to stay.

After hesitating and struggling, Li Xian decided to let it go.

"Since that's the case, Dong Guojiu returned to his house to rest. Someone came to send a team of people to escort Dong Guojiu back to his house. Liang Ziwei returned to the camp!" Li Xian waved his hand and made this decision that later made him regret it to death.

Dong Cheng still maintained his acting skills online. Before leaving, he remembered whether he was going to say goodbye to His Majesty. Then he learned that His Majesty had already gone to bed. He did not do anything and walked away in an orderly manner.

Li Xian also took a scruple and went to Liu Xie's bedroom to greet him before sending Dong Cheng out of the palace. However, when he heard the voice of Concubine Dong inside, Concubine Dong showed her face from behind the screen and asked him to whisper. Li Xian did not ask again.

...

The real Liu Xie had just gone to bed in name just now, and he secretly left with the eunuch who was sending him to bed.

When he left the bedroom, he wore the eunuch's clothes, and then he mixed back to Shiqu Pavilion, changed the clothes and armor of Dong Cheng's guard, and also wore increased wooden boots, and had two more thick clothes inside to cover up his thinness.

It is mid-April and the weather is getting a little hotter. Liu Xie will not be able to sweat too long after dressing up like this, but fortunately, he still held on the moment he left the palace and did not reveal any flaws.

"Thanks to the cleverness of the country's uncle, why would I escape from the tiger's mouth today? With Li Jie's cruelty, when the emperor attacked the city, he would definitely threaten me. The consequences would be unimaginable. I wonder how the country's uncle made Li Ru unable to take over your troops for a long time today?" Liu Xie kept riding back to Dong Cheng's mansion. After Li Xian's surveillance guards were all sent away, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained to Dong Cheng in a sad tone.

Dong Cheng smiled bitterly: "Before I entered the palace, let Sima delay my commander and Sima try to delay. If Li Ru makes things difficult, don't fight him head-on. However, now most of the troops are probably controlled by him. The personal guards in our mansion have not been mobilized. It should be that Li Ru has not received my troops from the headquarters, and it has not yet affected the troops of Liang.

We immediately go to the east gate quietly. If we can open the door, we can open it. If we can't, we can only find the wall section where our army's confidant is still guarding, and put the hanging basket and fall down to the city."

Liu Xie was quite smart, and thought for a while: "What if the horses do if they put the hanging basket down from the top of the city?"

Dong Cheng: "When you arrive at the east camp of the city, you will be able to obtain horses from Liang's cavalry."

The group of people tweaked a little and changed their clothes again. This time, there was no need for Liu Xie to wear too thick clothes. Then the group of people went out of the wall without walking on the ordinary road. After a lot of hardships in the night, they finally broke out of the city at the end of the Xu hour. When they arrived in Liangxing Camp, they gathered five hundred cavalry escorted them, and changed their horses and headed straight for Huayin to the east.

Before dawn, they can play the three-hour time difference first.

Liang Xing left two Simas in other departments, taking charge of the remaining infantry and moving slowly. Another Sima in other departments did not let him go, but stayed in the camp and allowed him to surrender to Li Ru. At that time, he would only say, "I don't know where other comrades have gone."

Because if all of them left, if Li Ru opened the city gate in advance to recruit Liang Xing's men and found that Liang Xing had also ran away in advance, he would definitely pursue him in advance.

Five hundred guards were running wildly, and when they reached the end of the afternoon, Liu Xie was so overwhelmed that he couldn't stand it anymore.

He lived a pampered life. Although he followed his brother, who was still Jianzai at the time, and once rode a horse in the middle of the night, that time was not like this. He didn't have to grab time and was not that bumpy.

Liu Xie gritted his teeth and cried bitterly: "Uncle Guo, the bumps are too much, may I change the car?"

Dong Cheng had already sent a light and good horseman to ride with Liu Xie to ride with him so that he could not get tired and not fall off the horse. But he was still sturdy enough to find a car that could run fast, but he really couldn't find it.

Dong Cheng could only persuade: "Your Majesty! Now it's a time of life and death. Please bear with it. Let's do it. Add two more layers of mats to your Majesty's saddle, and add a set of iron to step on the stirrups to reduce the difficulty of sitting on them. Your Majesty, when riding a horse, you use your legs to clamp the abdomen of the horse and support your body with your feet slightly on the stirrups. You cannot eat all the food on your buttocks, otherwise you will naturally be unable to bear it."

Liu Xie’s horsemanship was not good, so he could only temporarily improve his equipment. He learned and modified it now. He felt so painful that he could ride an egg until dawn.

In ancient times, people who were pampered and lived in a state of high intensity and unstandard posture suddenly rode horses and rode in a row, and many people were riding in pain and even disabled. The most famous one was Zhao Gou, the Emperor Gaozong of Song, who was chased by Jin Wushu for thousands of miles and fled wildly. He had been incompetent for many days, but his equestrian skills were still poor. In the end, he was so tired that he was disabled and infertile for the rest of his life. After arriving in Lin'an, when the prince died, he could only adopt one and make him the prince, which was later Song Xiaozong.

Of course, Liu Xie only needed to ride for one day and one night, and it was not as good as Zhao Gou's torture for many consecutive days.

...

At dawn, after Li Ru took over most of Dong Cheng's troops, he continued to check Liang Xing's camp in detail after opening the city, and found that Liang Xing had a lot less troops - it was too late to open the city gate, so he just sent someone to inspect and investigate the Liang Xing's camp. It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly, so some of the troops were missing.

It was not surprising that this kind of thing was not considered a dereliction of duty every night.

But what followed was Li Jue's announcement of Duan Wei's rebellion and the secret envoy who was defeated on the front line finally arrived in Chang'an. After Li Ying received it, he was shocked and asked Li Ru again.

After a lot of trouble, Li Ru immediately sent someone to Dong Cheng's mansion to get people, and found that there were only some worthless servants and slaves left. He realized that it was not good, so he hurried into the palace to ask for a meeting, only to find that even the emperor could not be found.

Li Ru was furious and drew his sword and killed Dong Guiren who was covering the emperor's escape. He discussed with Li Yingyi and led his troops to chase him.

They mobilized almost all the cavalry in Chang'an City to pursue it, but when they arrived outside the east gate, there was another small wave of riots, which seemed to be the remaining soldiers in Liangxing camp. They were told that the emperor had run away and Li Jue no longer represented the court, and many soldiers scattered.

Together with some of the soldiers of Dong Cheng who were just controlled by Li Ru last night, they fled after they had been trusted, either causing trouble in the city or taking the opportunity to rob. The troops were busy for half an hour, clearing the congestion and chaos along the way before starting a pursuit.

When the troops left the East Gate of Chang'an and crossed the Ba River from Bashang, Dong Cheng and Liu Xie had already passed Xinfeng. There was only one Zheng County left in front, which was Huayin, and only one hundred and twenty miles left, one county every sixty miles away.

Before noon, around 10 o'clock, the cavalry of the Li family chased to Xinfeng, and Dong Cheng had just arrived in Zheng County. In the afternoon, the cavalry of the Li family was the fastest vanguard, and then approached Dong Cheng's personal guards in the western suburbs of Huayin.

"The generals fought to the death and cut off the rear! Protect Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng also fought to the death, killing behind him so hard that he continued to run wildly with Liu Xie himself.

The hundreds of dead soldiers he brought were fed with money and money. At this time, he fought to the death. Even so, the pursuers could not stop them. Several times, "arrows and horse heels" were shot to death. Dong Cheng and Liu Xie's mount were shot to death twice. Both of them were injured, mainly because of falls and abrasions. There were no fatal arrow injuries, so they rolled and crawled and fled into Tongguan in a mess.

"Li Jue's rebel thieves plot to kill the lord! All the generals should be ordered to fight the thief!" After getting on the Tongguan wall, Dong Cheng became cheered up and hurriedly controlled the troops with Liang Xing, and then organized defense.
