Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 315 Escape from Luoyang
After Liu Bei quietly left, Yan Xing soon ordered his men to plunder all the valuables in Yong'an Palace.

If it weren't for Han Sui's order not to destroy the imperial city, Yan Xing really wanted to burn it down to cover up their crimes.

But thinking that the whole of Luoyang will be under their control, who would dare to accuse them.

After Yan Xing and his gang left, the entire Yong'an Palace fell into dead silence instantly.

At this time, in the miserable backyard, suddenly there was a very faint cry from under the stone table of the gazebo.

"Princess, don't make a sound. Be careful if the thieves hear the movement, it will waste the lives of the two young ladies!" Zhong Chang Attendant Han Rang wiped his tears and advised Dong Bai to leave quickly through the tunnel.

It turned out that there was a tunnel under the stone table, which led to a small uninhabited courtyard in the city.

This is the escape path that Dong Zhuo left for his family. Once something happened to him, he could also ask his family to escape from the imperial city through here.

It's a pity that Dong's family heard that Dong Zhuo was killed, they just cared about being sad, they didn't expect bad luck to come here so soon.

Fortunately, Zhongchang attendant Han Rang arrived in time and brought the Weiyang princess in.

Zhongchang servant Han Rang has always been grateful for Dong Zhuo's kindness in rebuilding. He knew that Dong Zhuo loved his granddaughter Dong Bai the most, so he rushed back from Qiufengting at the risk of death.

But just when the two sisters Dong Yi and Dong Yuan thought of going into the tunnel to escape, Yan Xing led someone to rush in.

For the safety of their niece Dong Bai, the two gave up entering the tunnel.

"Woooo... how did my grandfather die? Was it the murder of the person who killed my aunt?" Dong Bai was heartbroken, and he witnessed two aunts being humiliated to death with his own eyes. Bai couldn't bear it, she had to avenge this hatred!
"The man who wielded the spear was Yan Xing. Although the grand master didn't die in his hands, he must have something to do with his father-in-law Han Sui!" Han Rang said angrily.

Han Rang didn't believe that Li Ru dared to kill Dong Zhuo, so he felt that the murderer should be Han Sui, otherwise why would Han Sui send Yan Xing to Yong'an Palace to kill him?

"I, Dong Bai, swear that one day I will kill Han Sui and Yan Xing, these two thieves!" Dong Bai was full of hatred, and wiped away his tears with pain, but she was just a young girl after all, pretending Strong below is full of longing for Liu Yu.

It would be great if my husband could be here at this time!

Dong Zhuo is dead, but Xiliang still has his younger brother Dong Min in charge of the overall situation, so Dong Bai is hesitant now, should he go to Xiliang to find his third grandfather to avenge his revenge, or go to his husband Liu Yu for help.

After pondering for a while, Dong Bai thought that when Liu Yu heard about the changes in the city, he would join forces with Niu Fu to fight Han Sui.

However, the number of soldiers Niu Fu brought to the southwest was only more than 2. I am afraid that it will be difficult to counterattack Luoyang City, and others like Xu Rong and Li Jue are simply unreliable.

So Dong Bai decided to go to Xiliang to find Dong Min first, so that more Xiliang troops could be dispatched to avenge his grandfather and two aunts.

The authentic exit is in a small uninhabited courtyard in the west of the city.

Han Rang has always been in charge of taking care of this place himself, just because it is very close to Ximen, and if something happens, he can escape from Luoyang in a short time.

But when Dong Bai and Han Rang approached the west gate, they found that the soldiers there were closing the main city gate, and all the people who wanted to enter and leave the city could only go through the heavily guarded small gate.

"Uncle Han, can we still pass here?"

"Don't worry, princess, the little school guarding the gate is my clansman, no one will dare to stop us!"

After speaking, Han Rang asked Dong Bai to put on his felt hat and wait for a while, while he came to the checkpoint in front of the small gate alone.

From a distance, Dong Bai saw him whispering a few words to the small school guarding the gate, and then saw that the small school moved all the soldiers aside, leaving only a few trusted people at the door.

Seeing Han Rang waving at her, Dong Bai lowered the brim of his hat and quickly followed Han Rang out of the city gate.

"It's a good thing that Han Sui hasn't sent his personal guards to replace the city defenses yet, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to leave the city, but now that we're out of the city, what's the princess' plan?"

This time Dong Bai did not hesitate, seeing the tense atmosphere in Luoyang City Square, she became more determined to go to Xiliang to rescue soldiers.

"I'm going to Anding County to find my third grandfather Dong Min! Ask him to avenge my grandfather and aunt!"

"In that case, I am willing to protect the Princess and go with me!"

Han Rang has no heirs, and usually stays close to the Dong family, and always treats Dong Bai as a junior.

Now that Dong Zhuo was killed and Dong's family was persecuted, how could he let Dong Bai go to Xiliang alone without worry.

"The journey to Anding County is no less than [-] miles away. We can't do it with just two feet. We should go to Anyi County to settle down first. The Han family has some property there. When we get there, we will prepare the carriage and servants before we can go west with confidence."

Hearing that Han Rang would continue to help him, Dong Bai thanked him for giving him a blessing.

"Thanks to Uncle Han for rescuing Xiaobai, I will definitely ask Third Grandpa to thank Uncle when we get to Xiliang."

"Oh, princess, get up quickly. The grand master has shown great kindness to our Han family, and I, Han Rang, will protect the princess Zhou Quan even if I die!"

The relationship between people is very strange. When the news of Dong Zhuo's death spread throughout Luoyang City, many high-ranking officials who were originally attached to him immediately tried to separate themselves from the Dong family.

But a servant in the palace rescued Dong Bai with a heart of gratitude, but after Dong Bai left, he thought he would return to Luoyang to reunite with Liu Yu soon, but the world is unpredictable, and Dong Min is not Dong Zhuo.

……

When Dong Bai and Han Rang left from the west gate, Ma Teng led his men straight to the north gate of Luoyang.

When he heard the news that Dong Zhuo had been killed and Han Sui seized power, he immediately became impatient.

Ma Teng is very familiar with his temperament of sworn brotherhood, once he is told to completely control Luoyang City, then Ma Teng will have nothing to do with him.

Ma Teng was transferred by Dong Zhuo to guard fifty miles outside Qiufeng Pavilion. At this time, Ma Teng's army was closer to the east gate, but the deputy general in charge of inquiring about the news said that the east gate was now full of Han Sui's soldiers and horses.

After hearing the news, Ma Teng didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered to turn around and go to the north gate.

He had to regain control of the North Gate before Han Sui completely controlled Luoyang City.

When Ma Teng led his troops to the north gate, there was a group of more than a thousand Han Sui soldiers who wanted to take over here.

However, both the east gate and the north gate used to be Ma Teng's post, and there are still some guards left by him here, so it is impossible for them to hand over the city defense to Han Sui.

The two sides were on the verge of breaking out, and it was not until Ma Teng led his troops into the city that Han Sui's troops retreated.

"Order the whole army to form formations in the city, no matter which side of the city comes, fight back!"

Before, Ma Teng had promised Liu Yu that he would guard the two gates and provide Hulao Pass and Mengjin County's Habayashi Army with a passage to raid Luoyang, but now that the east gate has been lost, the north gate must not be lost again.
