After taking the Great Xia Gate, it does not mean that the situation has become easier, Cao Liang does not dare to relax in the slightest, because he knows that the current situation is at the most critical moment, the situation is not optimistic at all, Sima Yi launched a mutiny, which has been planned for a long time, with Sima Yi's scheming character, he must be fully prepared, even if there is an accident here in the Great Xia Gate, Sima Yi will definitely have a solution plan, this incident, who will die, it is too early to draw conclusions.

Now Sima Yi's core task is to take the palace, coerce the Empress Dowager Guo, and then use the name of the Empress Dowager Guo to crusade against Cao Shuang and legitimize his coup rebellion in exchange for the support of more families.

Before the cavalry battalion entered the city, Cao Liang had nothing to do about it, because he had limited troops at hand, he could burn the arsenal and capture the Great Xia Gate, he had already done his best, at this time, and then sent people and horses to the palace, Cao Liang was really powerless.

Now that the Xiao cavalry battalion has entered the city, it is equivalent to making Cao Liang's strength soar, and with five thousand Xiao cavalry in hand, Cao Liang has the strength to wrestle his wrist with anyone.

If the Xiao cavalry battalion is sent to the palace now, it will inevitably pose a huge threat to Sima Yi, at least he will not be able to do nothing in Luoyang City.

Now Cao Shuang still has a lot of soldiers and horses in Gaopingling, and the Son of Heaven Cao Fang is in his hands, whether it is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the place, Cao Shuang will occupy a relatively large advantage, if the situation in Luoyang is confusing and unpredictable, Cao Shuang will not surrender as rashly as in history, this is really an unknown.

Therefore, what Cao Liang has to do is to muddy the water as much as possible, so that everyone has a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Cao Liang was about to discuss with Cao Yan about entering the palace, when the family of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion came to report that the Gaoling Marquis Mansion was besieged by Sima's army and was in danger.

When Cao Liang heard this, he immediately changed his mind and decided to go to rescue the Gaoling Marquis Mansion first, after all, there was still a mother, wife and children at home, no matter what, Cao Liang couldn't let them have an accident.

I have to say that Sima Yi's hand is despicable and vicious enough, and it plays the most critical role in containing Cao Liang, this is indeed Cao Liang's weakness, and other places may not be able to attract Cao Liang's attention, but the Gaoling Marquis Mansion is something that Cao Liang absolutely cannot afford to lose.

Cao Yan also supported Cao Liang's move, after all, the world is big, and his relatives are the biggest, Cao Yan knows that even if Cao Liang wins the world, if he loses his relatives, he will definitely not be happy.

Cao Yan deliberately transferred Liu Jing's right army to Cao Liang, and the team of the Xiao cavalry battalion was all cavalry, and the speed of travel was relatively fast, so that Cao Liang took this group of men and horses home, at least in terms of time, it gave him sufficient security.

Cao Liang didn't care about being wordy, and immediately led the troops to prepare to return home, at this moment, Cao Yan actually called him, Cao Liang turned around, thinking that Cao Yan still had something to say, so he immediately turned the horse's head and said to Cao Yan: "Father, I'll go back to rescue my mother and them, don't worry, there will be no loss." ”

Cao Yan did not reply to Cao Liang at this time, but took out one from his personal place and wrapped it in yellow satin.

Others don't know what is in Cao Yan's package, but Cao Liang knows very well that what is in this package is nothing else, it is the edict of the first emperor.

Cao Yan cautiously handed over the edict to Cao Liang and said, "Liang'er, you save this first, and we'll look at it after it's over." ”

On such an occasion, Cao Yan is naturally inconvenient to open the secret edict, all along, Cao Yan has scrupulously adhered to the last orders of the first emperor and guarded the secret edict, until now, Cao Yan found out that in fact, Cao Liang is more qualified to have the secret edict, originally he planned to wait until this gathering with Cao Liang, he will open the secret edict, because the moment of the first emperor's demise has come, and it is the time to open the secret edict.

But now Cao Liang is in a hurry to go home to rescue his family, and Cao Yan is not good at opening the secret edict in public, so he simply handed over the secret edict to Cao Liang, as for when he wants to open it, it is up to him.

Cao Liang wanted to excuse himself, but after a change of thought, he took it again, anyway, between their father and son, there is no need to distinguish between mine and yours, the secret edict is something that Cao Yan has guarded all his life, and now it is handed over to Cao Liang, which itself is a kind of inheritance and a continuation of responsibility.

Cao Liang solemnly took the secret edict, put it close to him, and said to Cao Yan: "When we see each other again, it's not too late to open it again." As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and led his troops all the way south, heading straight to leave the Mausoleum Mansion.

At this time, the sky gradually became overcast, and before noon, it felt as if it was dusk, and the cold wind was bitter, rolling up the snowflakes, blowing on the face, like a knife.

The Great Xia Gate is in the northernmost part of Luoyang City, and the Gaoling Marquis Mansion is located in the south of the city.

If you usually take this section of the road, it's nothing, but now the entire Luoyang City is in chaos, in addition to the rebels of the Sima family, there are many homeless people who take advantage of the fire to rob also rise up to make trouble, even if it is the capital of the Son of Heaven, there are also unstable factors, usually the country and the people are just the so-called illusion, once they fall into the war, many people will run out to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Of course, these homeless people will not cause any trouble to the Xiao cavalry camp, and what they loot is only the passing people or the residents of the city.

Cao Liang galloped all the way, he had seen a lot of these chaos, and he didn't bother to care, but at a glance, Cao Liang seemed to find something wrong, he hurriedly reined in the horse, and looked back to see that it was a few homeless people pulling a delicate woman, lying on the grass, wasn't that Sima Ru?

Cao Liang rushed straight over, and slashed one of the leaders with a sword, and the rest of them left in the wilderness, Cao Liang did not chase, jumped off the horse, helped Sima Ru, and said in surprise: "Ru'er, why are you here?" ”

Sima Ru's hair was messy and very embarrassed, but when she saw Cao Liang, she smiled very happily and said, "I'm going to go to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion to look for you, it's good to see you here." ”

Cao Liang frowned and said, "Now that the army is in chaos, why don't you stay at home well, how dangerous is it to run out?" ”

Sima Ru looked at him, his eyes were as clear as Qiutan, and he said bluntly: "No matter what my father did, anyway, I was born as a member of the Cao family, and I am a ghost of the Cao family when I die, and life and death are your people, even if the sky falls and everything is closed, I will be with you." ”
