Chapter 2146 the end
When he learned that due to Ma Chao's blockade, Yan Xing and Chen were one step slower and failed to stop the emperor, Zhu Huan was furious, but he was helpless.
The emperor went north and entered Dong Zhao's camp. It was urgent to conquer it and needed to make a long-term plan. Zhu Huan was not worried that the emperor would escape because of this. Lu Su was on the other side of the Pu River. It was not easy for Dong Zhao to break through the Pu River. It was just that the mastery of capturing the emperor slipped away from his hand, which still made him very angry.
In desperation, Zhu Huan ordered the scouts to inquire everywhere, and ordered people to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.
At this moment, Dong Yue's envoy Niu Gai arrived and informed Zhu Huan of the situation: Dong Yue had never planned to leave the camp, it was Liu Ye who was playing conspiracies, provoking discord, and creating misunderstandings. The emperor did not enter Dong Zhao's camp. They went east, and Dong Yue had sent troops to chase him, hoping to lose his merits.
After listening to Niu Gai's explanation, Zhu Huan and Lu Yi were also amused and crying. Who would have thought that Liu Ye would be so cunning, playing with everyone in his palm, and forced himself to pull his teeth out, and rescue the emperor.
Lu Yi sighed. "I have heard that Liu Ye is anxious and has seen it now. General, I am not careful and underestimated Liu Ye, and tried to do tricks, so Liu Ye seized the opportunity."
Zhu Huan thought about it carefully, and although he felt regretful, he had to admit that he had met an opponent. At this point, it was meaningless to blame Lu Yi. With a hundred secrets, no one could guarantee that everything would be done. He comforted Lu Yi for a few words, and then asked Niu Gai carefully. When he learned that Qiu Xing had made a plan, he could basically confirm that Dong Yue was not likely to be cheated. Then he ordered Chen Dao and Wen Chou to lead his troops to respond and keep a distance from Dong Yue to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Chen Zhi, Wen Chou took the order and left, and Ma Chao came to the camp to see him again. Zhu Huan was originally very annoyed by Ma Chao, but now after hearing Niu Gai's explanation, he knew that Ma Chao was also deceived by Liu Ye, and he was mostly angry. He knew that Ma Chao and Yan Xing and Pang De had old age and could not be neglected, so he ordered someone to invite him in. Ma Chao came to the camp with a embarrassed expression. Zhu Huan was very generous. After making a few jokes, he asked someone to take Ma Chao to see Yan Xing, and agreed to allocate some food and grass to let Ma Chao live alone in the camp.
Ma Chao felt relieved and grateful, so he turned around to meet Yan Xing. Yan Xing was injured, but it was not serious. After the doctor took the medicine, he was resting in the camp. Seeing Ma Chao visiting, he ordered someone to hold a banquet and receive Ma Chao. The two of them drank and talked about the situation after the separation.
After sunset, the scout came to report that the fire broke out in the northeast and Dong Yue was setting fire to the reed marsh. Judging from the location where the fire started, Zhang Fen might have set fire, but the area of this reed marsh is very large. I don’t know when the fire will be burned. No one can tell whether it can catch the emperor.
Lu Yi stood outside the camp, looking at the vague firelight in the northeast, feeling a little regretful. He believed that with Liu Ye's agility, he could not have failed to calculate this. Since he dared to enter the reed marsh, he would definitely have a way to get out of the predicament. Not to mention Dong Yue, even Lu Su might not be able to intercept Liu Ye.
Underestimating the enemy.
"Don't panic, don't panic." Liu Ye stood by the water, regardless of the river's wet clothes, and loudly directed the knights to cross the river.
Most of the knights came from Guanzhong or Liangzhou, and were not familiar with the nature of water and were a little afraid of water. However, Liu Ye was prepared for it. He asked each knight to take off his iron armor and put his weapons on the horse's back together. He cut two bundles of reeds, clamped them under his ribs, and then pulled the horse's tail across the river. The war horses would swim in the water, and the reeds were hollow, which could help the knights float on the water and avoid drowning.
Although they were a little embarrassed, most of the knights successfully crossed the Pu River. When they got on the shore, they didn't care that they were soaked and cold. They hurriedly got on their horses and rushed northward.
The place Liu Ye chose was on the west edge of the reed marsh, not far from where Zhao Yun blocked Dong Yue. Because the fire was very large, Dong Yue did not see them, and the soldiers sent by Zhang Fen were also too far away. When they searched here, Liu Ye and others had lost their traces and could only look at the dark night sky and curse, and they could only shout to the point of nowhere.
The knights who survived the disaster admired Liu Ye very much, but Liu Ye couldn't be happy. He just silently urged the emperor to go quickly. There was a river ahead, and no one dared to guarantee safety before crossing that river. The opponent he faced was not someone else, but Lu Su who knew him the most. There was not much time left for him, and every time he delayed for a moment, the possibility of Lu Su catching up was greater.
If Lu Su intercepted, he would not know how to face Lu Su, his former friend. After many years of separation, meeting in this way would never be in his plan.
The emperor didn't speak, urging the horse to go quickly. The night wind was cold, and the clothes soaked in water were blown by the wind, and they were frozen and cold. The wounds on his thighs were soaked in water. He couldn't help but shivered. No matter how hard he blew his nose, his head was a little hot. The scenes on the battlefield kept flashing in front of him, but he didn't have any strength on his body.
Unconsciously, he fell off the horse's back and landed on the ground with a "boom".
Lu Xiaohuan followed the emperor tightly. After crossing the water, she did not cry anymore, but gritted her teeth and followed the team. Seeing that the emperor was dismissed, she was the first to react, quickly tied her mount, turned over and jumped off the horse, and hugged the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Liu Ye woke up in shock and quickly ordered to stop moving forward, turn over and get off the horse, and hurry to the emperor. With the flames behind him, the emperor's face turned red and his eyes closed. Liu Ye reached out and touched the emperor's forehead, which was so hot that it was hot, and his heart suddenly sank. Although the emperor practiced martial arts all year round and was young and strong, he was the emperor after all, and he did not have the experience of sleeping in the open and hungry. After fighting for a day this year, he was exhausted and injured again. He was wearing wet clothes and suffered from wind and cold, and fell ill all of a sudden.
What should I do?
The doctor rushed over and after a brief examination, his expression became extremely serious. He looked at Liu Ye. "Lingjun, Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty is tired, nothing is wrong." Liu Ye interrupted him. He looked around and said to Lu Xiaohuan: "Guru Lu, Your Majesty is tired and cannot ride a horse. Can you hold him?"
Lu Xiaohuan hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously. "Yes." Her mount was a tall and majestic Dayuan horse, enough to carry her and the emperor. Moreover, she was strong and strong, and could even hold the emperor.
"Then please, Concubine Lu." Liu Ye knelt on the ground and gave a big gift to Lu Xiaohuan. "Your Majesty is a rare hero in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, carrying the hope of the Han Dynasty's revival. If you can escape this time, the noble man will be the noble man of the Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether you can have a son in the future, if Ye is there in one breath, he will definitely strive to ensure the noble man's status in the harem."
"I don't have to think about the status of the harem." Lu Xiaohuan said gritting his teeth: "As long as Lingjun can help me avenge my father's death, I can do anything."
Liu Ye bowed again. "Ye will do his best."
