Chapter 177: Li Dao's army is coming
Li Dao's five thousand iron cavalry concealed the guards everywhere, and rushed straight to this Xudu, and at this time he had already appeared fifty miles away from Xudu!
After hearing such news, Cao Ang's face immediately changed, such a thing was so abrupt that he didn't even notice it before!
"Impossible! I have hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers in Yanzhou, and there are soldiers in every county, how can the 20,000 troops under Li Dao come, if you fake the military information, this son will kill you now! ”
After such news came, Cao Ang's first reaction was disbelief, even if the army under the command of Li Dao had wings, it would be impossible to come to the vicinity of Xu Du so soon!
So in his words, there was also a strong threat, and after he finished speaking, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the meaning of the threat was self-evident.
And after hearing such words, the soldier didn't dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Returning to Gongzi, these 5,000 troops entered Yanzhou as homeless people, and the caravan with war horses, armor and swords came to transport, and they deceived everyone! If it weren't for the giant merchant Wei Hong who noticed the strangeness of this caravan, I'm afraid we wouldn't know this news until now! ”
As soon as he said that, there was a buzzing sound in Cao Ang's ears, and his pace was much weaker.
Although the 5,000 soldiers are not much, the defenders in the capital are even less, only about 2,000 people, and most of the more than 2,000 people are still recruits, and some of them are loyal to Liu Xie.
The five thousand cavalry under the command of Li Dao came to kill at this time, and Liu Xie chose to poison Princess Wannian at this time, everything was one step ahead of Cao Ang.
If the two didn't intersect in advance, Cao Ang wouldn't believe it anyway.
"Li Ru! Li Ru! This is hidden from us, and he should be damned! It's a thousand cuts! ”
Until now, Cao Ang still doesn't know what went wrong, and the root of everything is on this Li Ru!
Maybe Li Ru had already negotiated with Liu Xie in advance, and the reason why he hid in the palace during this time was to wait for this army to come, and then the internal and external alliances could be easily broken!
Although Cao Ang imprisoned this Li Ru by mistake, but what a smart person Li Ru was, after throwing out the matter of killing the young emperor, he really played Cao Ang around.
At present, Cao Ang is only looking for evidence of killing the young emperor, how can he look elsewhere, if it weren't for Cao Ang who happened to want to poison Princess Wannian at this time, I'm afraid this matter would not be clear.
So many things happened in an instant, and Rao is Cao Ang, who has seen a lot of the world, immediately became solemn.
"Full of favor, where is Li Ru now? Since this plan was planned by him, then he must know the details and quickly call this Li Ru! ”
At this time, Cao Ang still wanted to recruit Li Ru to ask him clearly, but after hearing such a scolding, his favored face immediately showed a look of guilt.
"Back to Gongzi, the minister has already sent someone to take this Li Ru out of the city according to Gongzi's instructions, and go to find the place where he said that he hid the young emperor."
When these words were spoken, Cao Ang's heart was cold again, and he was a step slower, it is very likely that this Li Ru has been picked up by the soldiers under Li Dao.
But even so, he didn't give up, and immediately made an order to Man Favor.
"Send the order to let those who took Li Ru out of the city come back, and quickly reorganize the army, and after half an hour, all the defenders in the city will quickly gather at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
The distance of fifty miles is not short, but it is not long, and the foot soldiers can reach it in half a day's march, and the cavalry is faster.
This also means that there is not much time left for Cao Ang, if he can't deal with it during this time, I'm afraid that by the time Cao Cao's army returns, Xu Du will already be plugged in by Li Dao!
After this full favor hurriedly took the order to leave, Cao Ang also called Guo Jiajia over as soon as possible and explained the matter.
While the two were still thinking about making a decision, Cao Ang continued to make a schedule.
"Jinyi Wei listens to orders! Quickly disperse, staring at the powerful ministers in the city, if they have any changes, report them as soon as possible! ”
"The crossbowman with the shield obeys the order! Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and assemble the defenders in the city! ”
"Xiahou De, Xiahou Shang, quickly go back and rectify the soldiers, the thousand guards in the palace must be won over, and no one must be allowed to get involved!"
"Cao Anmin! Hurry up and prepare the horse, my son will travel later! ”
After making a lot of orders at once, everyone in the Cao Mansion was busy, and Cao Ang also turned around at this time.
"Do you have any plans, gentlemen?"
Although this Jia Xu Guo Jia did not see through Li Ru's plan, and was also attacked by Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Cao Ang's respect and trust in them still did not decrease.
At this time, if there is a way to turn the situation around, there is only the strategy of these two people over there!
After Cao Ang said this, Guo Jia and Jia Xu also completed the discussion, and spoke almost at the same time.
"Childe, although there are 5,000 troops coming at any time outside the city, if we can prepare in advance, it is not without the strength to fight!"
If you can't beat it, run away!
What is the place? This is the hinterland of the Cao family, once this place is lost, although Cao Cao's army returns later, he may only see a dilapidated city that has been destroyed by fire.
The dilapidated scene of the remnant palace in Luoyang is still in front of us, maybe Xu Du will become like this!
Therefore, after Guo Jia and Jia Xu discussed it almost once, they determined a phalanx at the same time, that is, they had to hold Xu Du no matter what!
Hearing such words, Cao Ang also nodded, and then asked about his concerns.
"In this case, how can Xu Du keep it, and how should he keep it? First inside or outside? ”
As soon as he said it, Guo Jia's eyes also showed a look of determination.
"Childe, if the situation in the palace of Xu Du cannot be stabilized at the moment, I am afraid that Li Dao's army will kill, and if the inside and outside are combined, Xu Du will no longer be able to hold it!"
As soon as he said that, Cao Ang's eyes also showed a look of determination, and at this time, he bowed to Guo Jiajia and the two with a solemn face.
"The two gentlemen also invited to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet with the full favor, and this son will attack and control the situation now, once the affairs in the palace are settled, then come to discuss the plan to defend the city!"
After finishing speaking, Cao Ang also left the mansion in a hurry, and after a while, he took Cao Anmin straight to the direction of the palace.
Judging from the sound of the horse's hurried hooves, it is not difficult to find the anxiety in Cao Ang's heart at this time.
