The first thousand one hundred and ninety-four chapters are forced to death
Wang Junlin's plan was to get rid of the pursuers behind him, sneak out of the city directly, and meet up with the 5,000 cavalry led by Luo Shixin.
As long as Wang Junlin is among these five thousand cavalry, unless Yang Guang wants to kill him and dispatches more than fifty thousand troops, he will be absolutely safe!
But what he didn't expect was that the pursuers would not only chase him along the tunnel, but another cavalry team would guess that he left at the East City Gate and come directly towards the East City Gate!
Seeing that the pursuers behind them were only dozens of feet away from them, Wang Junlin quickly led everyone to speed up the pace.
Now they turn back and hide in the densely populated Luoyang City, blending into the sea of people, but it is already too late, because when they turn back, they will be hit by those cavalry, so they can only leave the city now!
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers at the city gate were not controlled by the other party. They just pointed at the cavalry chasing after them, as if they didn't know what was going on.
…
After leaving Luoyang City, Wang Junlin led everyone to run away to the northeast of Luoyang City. According to Shen Guang, the 5,000 people led by Luo Shixin went to the northeast.
Wang Junlin knew very well that whether they could escape safely or not depended on how fast they could run and the route Wang Junlin chose.
The route Wang Junlin chose was of course rather strange. He avoided major roads as much as possible along the way, and used all the mountains, rivers and trees to hide his figure, and let Shen Guang follow behind to eliminate all traces of the group.
However, when they galloped toward the northeast for more than ten miles, they faintly heard the heavy and dense sound of horse hooves coming from behind!
"He didn't get rid of his pursuers. He was secretly followed by a peerless master who was good at tracking. Now we are in some trouble." Wang Junlin's expression became more and more solemn.
Wang Junlin knew that he might not be able to go very far on his next escape!
After running all the way here just now, he thought carefully about today's events. The more he thought about it, the more surprised he was that the enemy was always chasing them closely.
Because this is not only a factor of tracking masters, first of all, only if the other party knows in advance that they are leaving Luoyang City today, can they lay this big net in advance.
But there are not many people who know that they are leaving Luoyang today, and they are all people whom they can definitely trust.
Shen Guang, Zhang Tiangang, and Chong Yao around him will never betray him, and neither will the eldest princess Yang Lihua.
Yang Guang and the people around him are probably loudspeakers. There are probably no secrets in the palace. It is easy for some wealthy families to find out. But from the moment he went to the palace to ask Yang Guang to leave today, to himself In such a short period of time after leaving the imperial city, it was not enough to lay such a large net.
Perhaps the other side could have been prepared by mobilizing manpower and troops within the city, but it was too late in terms of time to kidnap Luo Shixin's parents and lure Luo Shixin and the five thousand cavalry away.
No, there is another person, Pei Yuanqing.
During the prisoner presentation ceremony the day before yesterday, Wang Junlin accidentally told Pei Yuanqing that he would leave Luoyang City as soon as the matter here was over.
"Pei Yuanqing... will never betray me, let alone plot against me with others."
"But after Pei Shiju learned from Pei Yuanqing that I wanted to leave Luoyang City as soon as possible... Pei Shiju is an old fox, known as the court tumbler, and he is smooth and cunning. But because of this, he will never choose to murder me at this time, let alone Pei Shiju and I have secretly formed an alliance. The Wenxi Pei family behind Pei Shiju, and even the entire Hedong noble clan, will never be so rash."
"But... what is certain is that the news should have been leaked from Pei Yuanqing."
Wang Junlin had a vague inference in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
But he had no time to think too much about it later. The other party knew in advance that he was leaving Luoyang today and laid a careful network in advance. At the same time, he prepared enough manpower and had peerless masters who were very good at tracking. He was about to catch up with them. I'm afraid it has become inevitable.
If Nie Xiaoyu were in this predicament at this time, with his accurate and terrifying calculation ability, he would definitely be able to find the gaps in this big net and escape quietly. But unfortunately, everything on Snake Island and the salt field is too important and needs Nie Xiaoyu to guard it, otherwise Wang Junlin was not at all worried about coming to Luoyang.
Seeing that the pursuers behind them were less than three or four miles away from them, Wang Junlin knew that it was almost impossible to get rid of them by relying on speed. As he ran quickly, his mind was spinning wildly, trying to find a way to escape quickly!
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Wang Junlin's mind, he stopped suddenly, changed direction and continued running.
The direction Wang Junlin chose was the roaring Yellow River.
When Shen Guang, Jing Tian, Zhong Yao and others saw this, their hearts suddenly sank. They ran in other directions. There was still a glimmer of hope. Towards the direction of the Yellow River, there was no road ahead. They were forced to the edge of the Yellow River. They could only fight with the one behind them. The cavalry fought hard.
However, although everyone had doubts in their hearts, they still chose to follow Wang Junlin without hesitation.
In the direction where Wang Junlin led everyone to run, there was nothing but a river beach covered with reeds.
Everyone thought that Wang Junlin wanted to jump into the river to escape, but they were in the water, so how could they get past the cavalry on the riverside so fast? Moreover, as long as they jumped into the river, it wouldn't take long for these cavalry to spread messages everywhere, and the other party's The person in charge will soon mobilize countless boats in this river to force them to a dead end.
If it were night, they might still be able to take advantage of each other's unclear vision to escape, but how could they escape in broad daylight?
Just when everyone was worried, Wang Junlin had already led them all the way to the edge of the Yellow River, and used the obstruction of the river embankment to temporarily escape the sight of the pursuers.
"Remove the footprints on the edge of the river beach, and then everyone will follow my lead and get a reed pipe for ventilation and then enter the water." Wang Junlin said while quickly breaking off a reed pipe and biting it in his mouth Inside, you enter the Yellow River.
Others were overjoyed when they saw this. After clearing away the footprints, they followed Wang Junlin's example, broke a reed pipe, bit one end, and jumped into the Yellow River, keeping the other end above the river surface and entering the river.
After the river beach became quiet again, the cavalry of about a thousand people also caught up.
In the river, Wang Junlin and his party heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the river embankment very close to them.
Then, a shout was heard, and then a team of cavalry rushed upstream and downstream along the river embankment, seemingly looking for their traces.
