"Your Majesty, the time has come." Early in the morning, Eunuch Liu woke up Liu Xie. Today was the day for the sacrifice and Liu Xie could not be delayed. "Yes, I understand." Liu Xie replied to Eunuch Liu and began to tidy up his clothes. Sacrifice is an activity that Liu Xie rarely allows himself to feel that he is the emperor. No one will object to him when performing sacrifices. Even Cao Cao in Xudu is respectful. Cao Mengde will not worry about this kind of powerless activity. Liu Xie packed up his clothes and left the dormitory, got on the carriage and left the palace. After leaving the palace, Cao Ang personally escorted Liu Xie with 500 soldiers and set off to the Ancestral Temple east of Xudu to offer sacrifices. At this time, Pang Tong was ambushing near the Ancestral Temple with a thousand soldiers. The Ancestral Temple of Xudu is about a hundred miles away from Xudu. This Ancestral Temple was built for Liu Xie three years after Cao Cao built Xudu. When the Western Han Dynasty was founded, the Imperial Ancestral Temple was originally located in Chang'an City. After Liu Xiu restored the country in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he located the Imperial Ancestral Temple in Luoyang City. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's disaster, both cities were abandoned, and the Ancestral Temple also lost its original function. When building Xudu, Yang Biao's party often took advantage of the fact that the Ancestral Temple offered sacrifices to try to get Liu Xie out of Cao Cao's control. In order to curb this situation, Cao Cao built a small Ancestral Temple more than a hundred miles away from Xudu to block Youyou's mouth. "Military advisor, the defense here is so sparse, could Cao Jun have an ambush?" One of Pang Tong's soldiers looked around. There were only a few hundred soldiers stationed in this Ancestral Temple. It was nothing like the Ancestral Temple of the Han Dynasty, even with a granary. Not as good as that. "No, Cao Cao chose this place as the Ancestral Temple for two reasons. One is to break Liu Xie's desire to return to the two capitals to offer sacrifices, and the other is to break the luck of the emperors of the Han Dynasty and strengthen the luck of the Cao family." Pang Tong smiled slightly and said angrily transport? It's nonsense. Zi Buyu talks about strange power and chaos. Cao Cao himself went to rob tombs and didn't care about luck. This is just an excuse for ignorant people. Han Dynasty will fall and Cao Xing will be prosperous. "So that's the case. No wonder the Han Dynasty's centuries-old foundation is about to fall into the hands of the Cao family. It turns out that the ancestors did not protect it. If ancestors are worshiped in such a place, how can the ancestors protect the Han Dynasty?" The soldier nodded, seeming to understand. Cao Ang and his guards escorted Liu Xie and his party from Xudu in the morning, and arrived at the Ancestral Temple at noon. Liu Xie took several father-in-laws into the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices, while Cao Ang took the sergeants to eat outside the temple. "Military advisor, when will we take action?" The soldiers saw that Cao Jun was unprepared. Eating outside the Taimiao Temple. "No rush, let's take a look first. We have a lot of time. As long as there is movement here, Cao Jun's cavalry nearby will definitely find us, and then the nearby patrols will also appear. We only have a quarter of an hour at most. Things in the temple Have everything been arranged?" Pang Tong looked at the surrounding terrain. The assassination was Pang Tong's purpose, but Pang Tong would not say that he would try to escape from the encirclement of Cao's army. "Please rest assured, military advisor, arrangements have been made in the temple. The dead soldiers have already laid an ambush in the main hall. As long as we take action outside, we will take action inside. All the daggers are coated with poison. As long as they stab Liu Xie "There is almost no chance of survival." "Okay, remember, tell the brothers that after rushing out, they can only kill for a quarter of an hour. Everyone must remember the time in their hearts. After a quarter of an hour, they will flee. The Cao army who came to encircle them followed what they had drilled before. Remember, they should go in batches. If the first batch is discovered, the second batch will kill the first batch, so that at least one group can rush out. "Pang Tong. Narrowing his eyes, he still had to sacrifice something to deceive Cao Jun's army. "No!" The soldier bowed his hand and went down to make arrangements. "Eldest Young Master, why did you come to escort His Majesty in person to offer sacrifices? In my opinion, it is too unfair for the King of Wei to let Young Master Chong lead the troops on an expedition. This is obviously to build up his prestige through military exploits. Young Master " Cao Ang took the soldiers to eat, and one of Cao Ang's soldiers began to complain to Cao Ang. As Cao Cao's eldest son, he was sent to stay in Xudu. "That's enough, don't say any more. I have warned you many times not to sow discord between our brothers. My father has his own decision about the choice of the heir apparent. How can you say more?" Cao Ang interrupted. As for personal soldiers, since Cao Cao was named King of Wei, Cao Ang has been disturbed by these things from time to time. It is simply that Cao Cao has the idea of ????abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, and the generals are dissatisfied. "Go, hurry up and set up a warning. The enemy is most likely to make a surprise attack at this moment." "My eldest son, if you don't think about yourself, you must also think about your brothers. The brothers have been following the eldest son for many years. If the eldest son cannot inherit Wei What hope do brothers have for the throne of king?" The soldiers did not stop admonishing. This is the hinterland of Cao's army. Where can there be a surprise attack by the enemy? "This?" After hearing the soldiers' words, Cao Ang was stunned and fell into deep thought. It is not unreasonable to say that he has personal soldiers. Although he does not want Cao Cao's position and wants to be brothers and sisters, the actual situation forces Cao Ang to consider the overall situation.??. Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao. When Cao Cao raised his army, he had already followed Cao Cao in the north and south. It can be said that Cao Cao's soldiers are Cao Ang's soldiers. Cao Cao's old generals all looked up to Cao Ang and always believed that Cao Ang was the heir of the Cao family, so they tried their best to get closer to Cao Ang. Now that Cao Cao has suddenly proposed that Cao Chong succeed the King of Wei, Cao Cao's veteran generals will certainly not be convinced. He has followed Cao Cao for many years, and Cao Ang has been watched by all the generals while growing up. Although his talents may not be as good as Cao Chong's, but in terms of friendship, everyone In the past, they all stayed close to Cao Ang and were basically Cao Ang's confidants. Now that Cao Cao suddenly comes to do this, how can the generals endure it? In particular, some generals with different surnames complained about Cao Cao's arrangement. The generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were not very concerned about who from the Cao family came to the throne. Anyone from the Cao family who ascended the throne was a member of the Cao family. They were relatives, even if they were distant relatives. Who would be the eldest brother, second brother, or third brother? The king is the same. "Eldest Young Master, we all take the Eldest Young Master's orders as his command. As long as the Eldest Young Master gives the order, Young Master Chong will never inherit the throne so easily!" Seeing Cao Ang's hesitation, the soldiers directly said something bolder. "Kill!" Pang Tong saw that Cao Jun's defense was lax, so he seized the opportunity and led his men to kill him. "The enemy is attacking, someone is attacking!" Cao Jun reacted immediately. An enemy is coming. "Oops, the temple! Rush into the Ancestral Temple. Rescue His Majesty and withdraw to Xudu!" Cao Ang quickly drew his sword and rushed into the Ancestral Temple. Outside the temple, Cao Jun and Pang Tong's sergeants fought. "Your Majesty!" As soon as he rushed into the hall, Cao Ang found that Liu Xie had been hit by a broken arrow and fell to the ground. The maids and eunuchs were all killed, and all the guards were also dead. "Quickly, take your Majesty out!" Cao Ang quickly ordered someone to carry Liu Xie on his back and rushed out of the Ancestral Temple. At this time. Pang Tong's army surrounded Cao Ang and forced Cao Ang to retreat to the Ancestral Temple. "Light the smoke, light the smoke, and notify the nearby troops to come to the rescue!" Cao Ang was raided by Pang Tong and lost many soldiers. The troops he brought were not as large as Pang Tong's army, so he had an idea. He closed the temple door and used the place where incense was offered in the temple to release the smoke. Pang Tong outside the temple smiled slightly when he saw the smoke rising, Cao Ang had indeed fallen into the trap! Cao Zixiu is more clever than clever. At this time, the Xudu Granary was ten miles away from the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The soldiers discovered that the Ancestral Temple was actually emitting smoke, and quickly reported it to the guard. The guard was named Zhang Fang, who was a general who followed Cao Ang in his early years. Zhang Fang saw that the Ancestral Temple was in danger, and thought that Cao Ang would protect Liu Xie at the Ancestral Temple today. He quickly ordered his lieutenants to guard the city, and took five hundred sergeants to the Ancestral Temple for rescue. "General. Someone has come out of the granary!" Liao Hua's soldiers pointed to the granary at the foot of the mountain. Cao Jun built a city here to store grain. The defenders numbered about a thousand people. "Okay, as the military counselor said, Cao's army guard here will rescue Cao Ang." "Tell the brothers to be ready. When this army goes far away, pretend to be a defeated army and attack the granary!" "Promise!" Zhang Fang and his sergeants had just arrived. After leaving, Liao Hua's army pretended to be defeated and came under the granary. "Open the city gate quickly, the eldest son is injured, open the city gate quickly!" Liao Hua shouted towards the city gate. "What? Young Master?" The deputy general looked from the tower and saw more than a hundred defeated soldiers dragging a dying man to the walled city. The man's armor was completely damaged and his face was blackened, making him unrecognizable. "What evidence do you have to prove that this person is the eldest son?" The deputy general was not stupid and started to ask for the token. "Our army was raided in the Ancestral Temple, and the young master's token has been lost." Liao Hua began to answer the deputy general according to Pang Tong's instructions. "Without evidence, how can we prove that he is the eldest young master?" "Asshole, the eldest young master is here. If you don't believe it, you can go to the city and see for yourself. If it is not the eldest young master, I will let you deal with it! Don't talk nonsense, it will delay the young master's treatment. Time!" Liao Hua yelled. "This?" The deputy general was not sure. If Cao Ang was not down below, everything would be easy. But if Cao Ang was down below, wouldn't he have committed a serious crime? "You wait here and be careful, I will go down and take a look!" For the sake of his own future, the deputy general decided to go to the city to find out. "No!" "Sir, the general above has come down." Liao Hua's soldiers saw the deputy general leaving the tower and reminded Liao Hua. "Okay, put this person on the cart and push him under the city tower. As soon as the city gate opens, use this cart to block the city gate. As long as we capture the city gate, the granary will be in our army's possession. Yes." Liao Hua nodded and began to make arrangements to seize the city gate. "No!" "Young Master, Your Excellency!" The deputy general went down to the city, opened the city gate, and rushed in with a few soldiers.Near the trolley. "I've fallen into the trap!" As soon as the deputy general came to the cart, he realized that he had fallen into the trap. Unfortunately, Liao Hua killed the deputy general with one sword and quickly took control of the city gate. The sergeants lying in ambush surrounded the city suddenly and the granary was quickly captured by Liao Hua. On the other hand, after Cao Ang lit the smoke, a large army came to the rescue soon. At this time, Pang Tong's army had scattered and fled. "Brother Ba, there is a situation ahead!" Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang saw the smoke coming from the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The two of them, who were inspecting the city defenses on the outskirts of Xudu, rushed to the Imperial Ancestral Temple with 3,000 cavalry. "Military advisor, there are enemies ahead!" At this time, Pang Tong turned into a deserter and happened to meet the Xiahou Ba brothers' army. At this time, Xiahou Ba's front army was already questioning a retreating Cao army. Pang Tong recognized that this was a group of people who retreated first. "Kill! Rush over and kill our people!" Pang Tong pulled out his sword and rushed out. "They are Liu Bei's army, brothers, kill them!" Pang Tongyi took the lead and rushed towards the sergeant who was being interrogated. Xiahou Ba¡¯s front army also reacted and quickly drew their swords to meet the enemy. Soon, under the pincer attack of Pang Tong and Xiahou Ba, more than a hundred soldiers were killed. "I have seen the two young generals Xiahou!" After Pang Tong killed the last soldier, he quickly knelt down and saluted Xiahou Ba. "Who are you? Why are you chasing these disguised soldiers?" "Reporting to the general, we are subordinates of the eldest son. The eldest son was attacked in the Ancestral Temple. We fought hard to get out. We just found a calm place. This person who was pretending to be a sergeant in our army saw that the enemy was outnumbered and had no choice but to follow them and wait for the opportunity." Pang Tong knelt on the ground and answered Xiahou Ba without raising his head. "How is the eldest son?" "General Xiahou, the eldest son is probably in danger. When we rushed out, there were enemy troops chasing us." "Brother Ba, let's go to the Ancestral Temple quickly, otherwise brother ?" "Okay, order the whole army to advance at full speed, aiming for the Taimiao Temple." "General Xiahou, we don't have horses?" Pang Tong pointed to his sergeants. Only a few of them had horses. "Just follow the army!" "No!" "Wait a minute, Brother Shang, those soldiers who were defeated?" soldiers. "Brother, what do you mean?" "The former military academy captain quickly went to the back to see if the defeated troops were still there!" "No!" After the former army returned, he reported to Xiahou Ba that the defeated troops had long been defeated. There is no trace. "Brother Ba?" "Huh, you actually dare to play tricks on me? Come here, bring me a map, let Liu Jun's little thieves see how powerful I am!" PS: Thank you for your support! ! ! !
