The rebellion in Lu County lasted for two days. Although Liu Yi and the others ran, they didn't get far because Beigong Chun directly led his troops into Youzhou, capturing three cities and approaching Lu County.
When Liu Cong issued a notice saying he had quelled the rebellion and temporarily calmed the people, he returned to hear that Empress Dowager Shan had disappeared. He was immediately furious and ordered a thorough search in the palace and city, but no trace of her could be found.
Liu Cong was so angry that his chest heaved. Empress Dowager Shan was crucial, not only for some unspeakable thoughts but also because of her status. With her in his hands, he could not only threaten Liu Yi but also the Di Clan.
She had always been timid and obedient; how dare she escape?
A scout hastily rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, the Xiliang Army and Zhao Family Army have entered Yan Country, capturing three of our cities, and the Xiliang Army is already near Lu County."
