He was old and sick, and his weight was seriously exceeded. Liu Chan was in front of the palace gate carried by the Jin court guards. There were 300 fully armed imperial guards surrounded by his armies. At the same time, the generals of the Jin army led the team clearly told Liu Chan that he would be killed immediately!

The Jin court meeting continued. Liu Chan was not immediately carried to the hall. He lay on the sedan chair and looked at the magnificent Jin Palace, which covers a magnificent area far exceeds that of the Shu Han Palace. Liu Chan no longer envied quietly. On the contrary, he smiled directly, and his swollen eyes were filled with excitement, because Liu Chan knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he would soon become the new owner of the palace.

The past was also replayed before Liu Chan's eyes, reminding Liu Chan of the carefree days of his father during his reign. After the village man in Zhuge died of illness, he tasted power for the first time, and sold his own potency to support Jiang Weijiu's attack on the Central Plains. He believed Qiao Zhou's slander and refused to escape to Nanzhong. He also had the surprise and excitement of hearing that a loyal minister raised the Han flag alone in Nanzhong. Two drops of turbid tears also quietly poured out of Liu Chan's eyes.

With difficulty, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fat hands. Liu Chan reminded himself in his heart: "Stay calm and continue to live. As long as he can save his life, this thousand miles of country will belong to me."

After a long time, the palace was heard that Liu Chan would go to the palace. The guards hurriedly helped Liu Chan up, helped him slowly up the steps, and walked into Sima Yan's Golden Palace. In the Golden Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Jinting Temple had already stood on both sides, while Sima Yan sat high in the hall and watched Liu Chan's arrival coldly.

Even though he was so old that his eyes were blurred, Liu Chan could see at a glance that he had only been missing for two months. Sima Yan seemed to have been older than ten years old, and his temples had gray hair. Liu Chan quietly gloated, but he still struggled to bow down and said with his forehead: "Sinner Liu Chan, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Looking at Liu Chan with a blank expression, Sima Yan asked for a while: "What are you guilty of?"

"I am confused, I deserve to die." Liu Chan quickly replied: "When the criminal was in Chengdu, he should not let Zhang Zhi's traitor enter the official position. He should be executed directly."

"Like lies." Sima Yan sneered and said, "What you regret most is that you didn't listen to your minister's advice and ran to Nanzhong to join that old man Huo Yi, right?"

"I dare not, I dare not."

Liu Chan quickly paused his head, Sima Yan smiled and said, "Raise your head."

Life was hanging on his hands, and Liu Chan did not dare to disobey. He quickly knelt down and raised his head, with a stupid expression on his face again. Sima Yan asked, "Do you know everything outside?"

"Report to Your Majesty, you all know." Liu Chan said very frankly: "The whole city is sensation, and it is hard for the criminals to not hear it."

"I must be very happy, right?" Sima Yan asked again, "Do you think it will be your turn to do this throne in no time?"

"I dare not, I dare not."

Liu Chan quickly paused his head and coughed, saying, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister knows very well. Even if Zhang Zhi's traitor really respects his ministers, he will definitely want to treat the criminal ministers as Emperor Xian of Han. It won't be long before he will imitate Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo and replace the criminal ministers. At that time, the criminal ministers' situation will definitely be worse than they are now."

Liu Chan's clever answer reminded Sima Yan, which made Sima Yan unable to help but think about deliberately leaving Liu Chan to harm Zhang Zhi. So after careful calculation, Sima Yan asked the ministers: "All the ministers, do you think I should give up Liu Chan?"

"Your Majesty, I think Liu Chan should be left behind!" Xun Xu immediately said: "It has come to this point, no matter how Your Majesty treats Duke Anle, it is useless. Since this is the case, it is better to return Duke Anle to the pseudo-Han thief army and let him restrain Zhang Zhi from rebels and create opportunities for our King of Jin to make a comeback."

"I'm going to discuss it." Feng Yan immediately jumped out to agree and said, "Zhang Zhi is ambitious and will definitely not be willing to stay under the control of others. He deliberately returned Anle Gong to him, so that everyone in the world can see his hypocritical face clearly."

"I agree that instead of letting the treacherous and vicious Zhang Zhi prodigal self-reliance, it is better to let the simple Anle Gong restrain him!"

Sima Yan's two favorite ministers took the lead, and most of the court officials responded one after another, urging Sima Yan to return Liu Chan to the Han army and ask Liu Chan and Zhang Zhi to fight and bite the dog. Sima Yan, who already had this plan, nodded slightly, almost making up his mind to keep Liu Chan. However, he accidentally looked at Liu Chan with the corner of his eyes. When he saw a hint of unconcealed joy on Liu Chan's face, Sima Yan suddenly felt his heart moved and said to himself: "It's bad, I almost fell into the trap of these traitors!"

"They definitely didn't want to use Liu Chan to restrain Zhang Zhi's rebels, but were deliberately selling favors to Liu Chan. Because only by coaxing me to keep Liu Chan, they would have the opportunity to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of the thieves' army, and only by cheating me to leave a way out for Liu Chan, Zhang Zhi's rebels would no longer hold them accountable for their crimes for serving me, so that they would continue to be officials in the court and hold great power!"

Suddenly, he understood the reason why the ministers of the Jin court insisted on leaving Liu Chan, and Sima Yan said in his heart: "No, you must not leave Liu Chan! I have decided to move the capital to Yecheng. If Liu Chan is left, then these thieves who are life-saving to Liu Chan will definitely not follow me sincerely for their own industry in Luoyang. Perhaps the thieves who have not escaped the Yellow River have already run away! Only by executing Liu Chan and cutting off the retreat of these people will these traitors follow me to Yecheng to rebuild the Great Jin and rebuild the team!"

After figuring out this key, Sima Yan finally spoke and said, "Okay, quiet, everyone doesn't have to say the right thing. I know you are saying the right thing. I want to remind me that Liu Chan is good at forbearance and likes to entrust major politics to others. Even if he is returned to the pseudo-Han thief army, it will be useless and will only give him a free gift. Only by executing this Liu Chan and his whole family will the pseudo-Han thief army be without a leader and split into pieces. I understand what you mean."

Liu Chan was stunned, and all the officials in the Jin court were speechless. They didn't expect Sima Yan to be so unreflective. Sima Yan said without saying anything and said, "Well, since all the ministers think that Liu Chan should be killed, I will fulfill your wishes. The person who comes, take a knife to Jia Chong and Jia Qing, and let him execute Liu Chan with his own hands in front of me and the officials!"

The guards in the palace sang their promise and immediately handed a knife to Jia Chong, the number one important official in the Jin court. Jia Chong was stunned and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, are you not an executioner?"

"Today I want you to be this executioner." Sima Yan replied with a smile. Jia Chong was not only the number one important official of the Jin court, but also the leader of the largest party of the Jin court officials. Jia Chong personally executed Liu Chan and completely cut off his retreat. Naturally, Jia Chong had to lead a large number of Jin court officials to firmly support Sima Yan.

They are all human spirits, of course Jia Chong immediately understood Sima Yan's plan, and hesitated in his heart and was reluctant to take the sharp blade from the guards' hands. Sima Yan snorted coldly when he saw it, saying, "Why didn't Jia Qing take action? Does Jia Qing also want to leave a way out for himself?"

Hearing this, Jia Chong couldn't help but shuddered and had to take over the sharp blade and walked to Liu Chan with difficulty. Liu Chan's fat face was pale and he quickly begged Sima Yan: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Sima Yan was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Chan's plea, but shouted from Jia Chong: "If you don't do anything, you will be the same as Liu Chan!"

He took a breath helplessly. For the first time, he regretted that he had a great influence among the court officials, Jia Chong could only lift his sword and stab the sharp blade into Liu Chan's chest. Liu Chan's whole body was shocked, and he groaned, his swollen eyes wide open, staring at Jia Chong tightly. Jia Chong sighed in his heart and said to himself: "Don't blame me, I was forced, you have seen it. The people who really killed you are the common men who are eager to leave a way out for them!"

After saying that in his heart, Jia Chong pulled out his long sword, turned around and bowed to Sima Yan and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have followed the order to kill Liu Chan."

Sima Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work, add thousands of households to Lu, and be granted the title of Duke of Lu."

Jia Chong smiled bitterly in his heart and thanked him. Sima Yan turned to Yang Hu's cousin Yang Xiu and ordered: "Yang Qing, immediately lead the army to Anle Gong Mansion and kill Liu Chan's family. No one is allowed to leave behind, no matter men, women, old and young!"

Yang Xiu's official position is the Central Guard Army, and his duty is to command the Imperial Guard Army. Only by letting Yang Xiu's hands be covered with the blood of Liu Chan's family, can he obediently lead the Imperial Guard Army to protect Sima Yan's family from fleeing north without any other unfaithing.

After Yang Xiu sang his promise, Sima Yan ordered: "Everyone is back and prepare. We will gather at Guangmomen at the second update tonight, and then follow me to the north to hunt Yecheng. Sima Gan, the General of Guard, stayed in Luoyang and bought time for me."

The blood of Liu Chan's family quickly dyed Anle Gong Mansion red. Then at the second update of the evening that night, under the protection of the 6,000 imperial guards, Sima Yan took his wife, children and civil and military officials to leave the city from Guangmomen in a car and fled to the north overnight.

However, it is a pity that Sima Yan seriously underestimated Zhang Zhi's ability to foresee the situation. In fact, as early as the night of the Han army's defeat of the main force of the Jin army, Zhang Zhi had already set up secret sentries outside the city gates of Luoyang, and watched the movements of the city gates all night. So not long after Sima Yan left the city to escape, the Han army's secret sentry had already rushed back to the Han army camp and reported the situation of a brigade's escape from Guangmomen to Zhang Zhi.

After receiving this news, Zhang Zhi certainly did not dare to be negligent. He quickly ordered the cavalry to prepare for attacking all over the country. Then he immediately called Zhang Fa and Zhao Tong, the chief and deputy generals of the Han cavalry, to the front and ordered them: "If nothing unexpected happens, the thief army leaving the city will definitely flee to Pingyin, so you must pursue the thief army with all your strength. Even if you chase Pingyin, you must catch this thief army! After catching up, if Sima Yan is in the thief army, he will strive to catch the alive!"

Zhang Fa and Zhao Tong agreed together, and immediately ran out to command the Han cavalry to launch a large attack. Zhang Zhize breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "I hope to catch Sima Yan and catch him will be much easier."

The Han cavalry did not disappoint Zhang Zhi. When it was about to dawn, the Han cavalry successfully chased Sima Yan's escape route on the road from Luoyang to Pingyin. Although Yang Xiu immediately led his troops to fight, how could the Jinting Imperial Army, who had been pampered in Luoyang for many years, be the opponent of the Han cavalry who had passed the actual combat test? Less than half an hour of fighting, the Han cavalry, who was as powerful as a tiger, successfully defeated the Jinting Imperial Army and also killed Yang Xiu in the chaos.

Finally, Zhao Yun's eldest son Zhao Tong personally found Sima Yan in a regular suit from the car, and quietly pointed out to the Han cavalry that Sima Yan was not someone else's car, but was Sima Yan's favorite minister Xun Xu. Most of the officials in the Jin court were captured, and at the same time, those who fell into the clutches of the Han army were Sima Yan's queen Yang Yan and his dozen of his children.

The news that Sima Yan was captured alive by the Han army, as well as the bad news that Liu Chan's family was killed, reported to Zhang Zhi at the same time. After hearing this bad news, Zhang Zhi, the number one loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, naturally screamed and fainted on the spot. After finally being woken up, Zhang Zhi beat his chest and stamped his feet and cried loudly. No matter who persuaded him, it was useless. In the end, it was Yan Yu's reminder that made Zhang Zhi quiet.

"General, there are still 30,000 defenders in Luoyang City. It is possible to attack and rescue Sima Yan in full force. I suggest that we should send an army immediately to reinforce General Zhang Fa and the others."

"Zhao Quan, you will immediately lead 30,000 troops to pick up Zhang Fa and the others. You must take Sima Yan back." Zhang Zhi quickly ordered and cried in pain: "I will cut this dog thief into pieces and execute Ling Chi! Avenge our Majesty!"

Yan Yu's suggestion was very correct. After receiving the news that Sima Yan was captured alive by the Han cavalry, Sima Gan, who was anxiously red, did send an army north to rescue him. Fortunately, the Han reinforcements led by Zhao Quan took the lead in joining the Han cavalry and joined forces to easily kill the reinforcements of the Jin army, and successfully took Sima Yan's family and dozens of senior officials of the Jin court back to the Han military camp. Then...

Then, the overwhelming anger of Zhang Zhi, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, could almost ignite the entire city of Luoyang. As soon as he saw Sima Yan, Zhang Zhi rushed up with a horse whip, whipped Sima Yan himself, and cried while whipping, cursing Sima Yan constantly. Sima Yan, who was ashamed, did not dodge or dodge, but looked coldly at Zhang Zhi, the world's number one hypocrite, and sneered from time to time. He knew very well that Zhang Zhi hated him on the surface, but must have been grateful to him in his heart.

Everyone understands people, so don’t pretend to be disgusting.

Just as Sima Yan expected, although Zhang Zhi ordered Sima Yan to tie Sima Yan to the pillar and wanted to cut Sima Yan to death with a knife, under the strong persuasion of Yan Yu, Xue Rang, Cuan Gu and others, Zhang Zhi reluctantly took back the order and changed to the order: "Immediately issue an edict to Sima Gan, ordering him to open the city and surrender! Then, you Jin thieves control the order and order them to change their flags and surrender to the Han Dynasty! If you do well, I can consider leaving you a whole body!"

"Beg for the children and grandchildren."
