Lu Bu left behind a thousand Bingzhou cavalry to assist Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and others in rectifying the three armies. The fifth battalion of the Northern Army was temporarily led by Xue Lan and Li Feng, and Lu Bu wanted to lead two thousand cavalry to Xiaopingjin in person.

Lu Bu remembers that historical records show that Zhang Rang took Shaodi and King Chenliu to Xiaopingjin in a panic (Note 1), instead of the two little emperors who went to the manor of Cui Yi, the brother of Cui Lie of the previous dynasty. Cui Lie's Situ bought it from Emperor Ling of Han for money, and Emperor Ling of Han said that the official was sold cheaply (Note 2). Cui Lie's reputation was disgraced. It is estimated that the two little emperors would not be written into the history books even if they arrived at Cui Yi's manor.

Lu Bu looked at the sun and had just set foot. Although he killed the eunuchs in one day, saved the empress dowager, accepted the reward, met Diao Chan by chance, salvaged the jade seal, and reorganized He Jin and He Miao troops. It seemed that he had done a lot of things, except for the reorganization of the army, Lu Bu did not spend much time on other matters. He had already planned to save the young emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu King Liu Xie, because it was not enough to save the empress dowager, and he also had to save the emperor, so that he could just get the position he liked.

Zhang Rang and Hou Lan two eunuchs, holding the young emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu King Liu Xie, took more than 30 fully armed eunuchs, and in a panic, they actually ran to the Yellow River and ran to Xiaopingjin on the bank of the Yellow River.

Xiaopingjin is also an important Yellow River ferry crossing in the northeast of Mengjin Ferry. In the first year of Zhongping, in order to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, he set up a guard on Tianjin. Now Xiaopingjin is empty and no one is stationed.

It turned out that for his ambition, Yuan Shao pretended to be He Jin and issued an order to let all the garrison soldiers around Luoyang gather into Luoyang City. This was also convenient for the escape of Zhang Rang and others to escape the Yellow River. As for where to escape, Zhang Rang's heart was blank.

But there was no boat at Xiaopingjin Ferry. Zhang Rang looked at the empty Yellow River and couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "Can you kill me, Zhang Rang?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Zhang Rang, the evils of heaven can still be preserved, but the evils of oneself cannot survive!" Hundreds of soldiers rushed out from the side of Xiaopingjin Pass, surrounding Zhang Rang and others in the center.

Zhang Rang looked closely and saw that the person in charge was Ding Yuan's subordinate Lu Bu. Zhang Rang knew that Lu Bu was very skilled in martial arts, and that his more than thirty were not enough for him to kill, not to mention that he had brought hundreds of elite soldiers, he couldn't help but be frightened.

Lu Bu led two thousand cavalry and whipped the horses and finally arrived in Xiaopingjin before Zhang Rang and others. He wanted to ambush and catch Zhang Rang, but Xiaopingjin Pass was small and could not accommodate two thousand cavalry at all. Fortunately, the Bingzhou Army camp was not far away, so Lu Bu asked Chen Wei to lead 1,500 cavalry back to the camp to be responsible for guarding and receiving Wei Xu and others. After all, all the property robbed by Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian from the capital had to be brought back to the camp.

Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian Painted Riven, one halberd, and the soldiers below were like wolves and tigers, and chopped people and cut melons. In a short while, only Zhang Rang's subordinates were left, Hou Lan, and a few small eunuchs.

Seeing that Zhang Rang and other eunuchs surrounded the two little emperors with swords and guns, Lu Bu was afraid that if he continued to kill, they would hurt the little emperor. If he failed to rescue the emperor, he would kill him. He was afraid that no matter how powerful he had, he would be able to be destroyed by Yuan Shao's party in public opinion, so he remained silent and discussed the conditions with Zhang Rang first.

Lu Bu put Fang Tian Hua Ji on the ground, carried only the seven-star sword, and walked towards Zhang Rang alone. Qin Yi took a few guards to follow him, and Lu Bu hurriedly stopped him.

Lu Bu walked up to Zhang Rang and whispered: "Shi Shi Zhang, I don't actually want to kill you."

When Zhang Rang saw Lu Bu approaching, he nervously couldn't even hold the sword tightly: "Then let us go."

Lu Bu signaled Zhang Rang to take a few steps forward, and about the two little emperors couldn't hear it, so he smiled slightly: "You can let you go, you must exchange the treasures of your ten eunuchs."

Lu Bu met Wei Xu on the way to Xiaopingjin. Wei Xu learned from a small eunuch that the Ten Eunuchs had been in charge for many years and had accumulated countless money. He did not put it in the palace or in the mansion outside, but buried it in an extremely secret place.

Seeing that his life was in danger in a blink of an eye, Zhang Rang realized that all his wealth was empty. He looked at Hou Lan. Hou Lan nodded in a sad way: "Tell him, no matter how much money he has, he is afraid he will be spent."

Zhang Rang was a greedy master who was as greedy as his life. He didn't want to end up in poverty and fell to his knees: "General Lu insisted on killing us cleanly?! The Han Dynasty was so declining, it was not just the fault of us and other disabled people. Those who really harmed the country and the people were the famous ministers of the aristocratic families and families. They all annexed land, concealed the population, refused to accept taxes, and the court wanted to seek disaster relief for Qiang, but they had no money, so the late emperor had to sell his official positions. Those aristocratic families kept saying that they were loyal and kind, and we were treacherous ministers, but they had never shared the worries and problems for the late emperor. I hope the general would be careful."

Lu Bu pulled out the Seven-Star Sword, pointed at Zhang Rang, and shouted in a low voice: "There are certainly mistakes among the great families, but you are also wrong. The difference is that if you fall into my hands today, you have to pay your price. Whether it is a life or a money, it is up to you to choose! Besides, I will not take away all your money. As long as you cooperate well, I will give you enough money to make you have no worries about food and clothing and live a safe life."

Zhang Rang shook his head and refused to believe it: "The Yuan family's four generations and three disciples are everywhere. Yuan Shao wants to find us and kill us easily. Why do you say that you can make us live a safe life? You took our money and then killed people to silence you. Do you think I'm stupid? Why do I believe you?"

Lu Bu turned around and pretended to leave: "If you don't believe it, forget it! Shangshu Lu Zhi, Wang Yun's subordinate Min Gong and hundreds of soldiers arrived in a blink of an eye. Lu Zhi was falsely accused by Zuo Feng and was dismissed from his post. Therefore, he missed the great achievements of destroying Zhang Jiao when he saw his hand. Wang Yun was also falsely accused by you, Zhang Rang, and he was dismissed from his post. They all hated you to the core. When they arrived in Xiaopingjin, would they say these words to you? I am afraid that you would have cut you into meat paste long ago! Besides, my Lu Bu's Tianhua Ji still disdained to kill you, a eunuch, and that would only dirty it!"

When Zhang Rang heard Lu Bu say this, his heart suddenly calmed down. Lu Bu turned out to be disdainful of killing him.

Note 1: "Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Biography of Dou He": Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others were trapped, so they led dozens of people from the Emperor and King Chenliu to go out of the valley and rushed to Xiaopingjin. The ministers and ministers came out of Ping and were optimistic, but there was no one who could follow him. Only the Minister of Shang Lu Zhi rushed to the river at night. Wang Yun sent Min Gong, a clerk from the central Henan, to follow Zhi. When the tribute arrived, he killed several people with his sword, and the rest jumped into the river and died. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Emperor Xiaoling Ji Zi No. 8" records: Rang, Gui and others robbed the Shao Emperor again, and King Chenliu left Xiaopingjin. The Minister of Shang Lu Zhi chased Rang, Gui and others, and killed several people, and the rest jumped into the river and died. The emperor and King Chenliu Xie walked along the light for several miles at night, and got the people's car exposed and rode together.

Note 2: "Zizhi Tongjian·Volume 58·Han Ji Fifty": In March, the court guard Cui Lie was appointed as Situ. Lie, a follower of the brother of the emperor. At that time, the three dukes often obtained it because of the regular attendant, Abao, and the Qianxiyuan. Although Duan Ying, Zhang Wen and others had great achievements, they all delivered money and became the official position. Lie was appointed as Situ because Fu's mother earned five million yuan. When they were worshiping the sun, the emperor came to Xuan and the officials met. The emperor looked at the person who was lucky and said, "I regret it, but I can reach tens of millions!
