Chapter 701: Crisis
Huan Fan immediately became alert, although there were only four words on the note, it contained a huge amount of information, who wrote this note? What was his intention in warning Huan Fan not to enter the city?
Huan Fan is such a shrewd person, since this note is full of kindness to himself, it proves that the person who wrote this note is a friend and not an enemy, and in this Luoyang City, except for Cao Liang, Zhan Fan really can't think of anyone who will help him.
Cao Liang is currently the only force that dares to confront the Sima family, and it is up to him to warn Huan Fan not to enter the city, obviously Cao Liang does not want Huan Fan to set foot in the place of death.
Unlike Cao Shuang's illusions about Sima Yi, Cao Liang saw Sima Yi's actions more thoroughly, and his judgment with Huan Fan was almost the same, that is, Sima Yi would never be merciful, and it was absolutely impossible for Cao Shuang and his people to give preferential treatment to the surrendered Cao Shuang and his people, so that they could enjoy a prosperous life.
In order to wait for all this, Sima Yi has been preparing for at least ten years, either if he doesn't make a move, or if he makes a move, he will win the game. Sima Yi has never been a benevolent person, and when it comes to enemies, he often shows his iron-blooded skills, ruthless and ruthless.
Sima Yi is nearly seventy years old, even if he has ambitions, but the years are not forgiving, he will die after all, if he is moved by compassion now, then the people left to the future generations of the Sima family will have a great chance of facing the crazy counterattack of these political enemies.
For the sake of future generations, Sima Yi will never let Cao Shuang and his henchmen live.
Cao Liang sent a note to Huan Fan, which means that Cao Liang has a clear understanding, and at this critical moment, he wants to pull Huan Fan along.
Although Huan Fan understands that he is likely to have the disaster of extermination, but the world is big, where is his place, even if he escapes from Sima Yi's clutches now, and once Sima Yi succeeds in the mutiny and grasps the government, Huan Fan will still have no way to escape after all.
But now it's different, Cao Liang pointed out the direction to Huan Fan, and Huan Fan accepted it without hesitation, he looked left and right, and these officials all drooped their heads, looking listless.
After all, he finally climbed to his current official position, but because he stood on the wrong team, he was stripped of his official position, for these officials, is there anything worse than this?
In fact, Huan Fan knows better than them that the so-called bottom of life has not yet been reached, once they enter the city, they will naturally become lambs to the slaughter, and whether they survive or not depends on the face of the Sima family.
Huan Fan stood still and didn't move, naturally the people behind him surpassed him, and Huan Fan was now full of thoughts about how to escape without being targeted by Sima Jiajun.
As for the others, Huan Fan is in no mood to care, he has almost no friends in the court, let alone a catastrophe, and friendship is unreliable.
And these officials who were about to enter the city undoubtedly provided him with the best cover, otherwise, it would definitely not be easy for Huan Fan to escape under Sima Yi's nose.
Huan Fan slowly took a few steps back to get himself out of the group, and Huan Fan believed that since Cao Liang had left a warning note for himself, he would definitely arrange for someone to pick him up.
Originally, Huan Fan was just preparing to run away by himself, but after seeing Lu Zhi, he changed his mind again, and when Lu Zhi passed by him, Huan Fan reached out and pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shiying, come with me." ”
In fact, Huan Fan and Lu Zhi didn't have any fateful friendship, but in the process of Huan Fan's persuasion of Cao Shuang yesterday, Lu Zhi was on his side and also helped.
Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, so many people, it is rare to have one or two people who have the same political views as Huan Fan, Huan Fan is naturally sympathetic, and at a critical time, Huan Fan thought of pulling him to avoid him being harmed by Sima Yi.
Yesterday, it was not only Lu Zhi who helped, but also the master Bo Yang Zong also strongly persuaded Cao Shuang not to surrender, but at this moment, the crowd was surging, as if Yang Zong had already stepped on the pontoon bridge, even if Huan Fan had the heart to save it, it was beyond the reach of the whip.
Lu Zhi was originally walking with his head down, but Huan Fan suddenly grabbed him, which surprised him, but when he saw that it was Huan Fan, Lu Zhi did not resist, but also stopped, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan Ze, what do you mean by this?" ”
Huan Fan said in a low voice: "Returning to Luoyang is a dead end, if you don't want to die, come with me." ”
Lu Zhi was obviously not as thorough as Huan Fan thought, but he still had a certain estimate of the situation in front of him, and since Huan Fan said so, he followed Huan Fan and quietly slipped out of the ranks.
Now the scene is chaotic, many people are like arrows, they are hurrying forward, not caring about what others are doing, and outside the pontoon bridge, they have not yet entered the control of Sima Jiajun, so the escape of Huan Fan and Lu Zhi is also relatively smooth.
Sure enough, they didn't expect Huan Fan, they didn't go far, and they bumped into Fang Bu disguised as an ordinary forbidden army, Huan Fan's heart warmed, it seems that Cao Liang really cares about himself, and actually sent his first guard to come, with Fang Bu's response, their escape will definitely become easier.
Fang Bu prepared his fast horse away from Sima Jiajun's line of sight, and escorted Huan Fan and Lu Zhi around the city, heading straight for Kim Yong City in the northwest of Luoyang City.
Although Kim Yong City is only a small city within a radius of several miles, it is an extremely important fortress in terms of strategic location, and the terrain of Kim Yong City is high, and from here you can even have a bird's-eye view of the entire Luoyang City, so Cao Liang in the attack plan of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the first thing to capture is Kim Yong City, followed by the Great Xia Gate.
Cao Shuang's surrender exacerbated the situation, and the entire forbidden army, except for the cavalry battalion, fell under Sima Yi's control, forcing Cao Liang to abandon the Great Xia Gate and stick to Kim Yong City instead.
Prior to this, Cao Liang had already moved all the Cao Mansion family to Kim Yong City, and he had no worries anymore, and at the same time, Cao Liang did not forget to bring out the families of Xiaoqi Captain Wen Qin, Xian Hong, and Liu Jing, Luoyang City must be difficult to hold, and Cao Liang was not ready to fight Sima Yi to the end, he was already planning a retreat.
Although Cao Liang has been preparing for nearly ten years in response to the Gaopingling Incident, when he was really involved in this tide of turmoil, Cao Liang found that the background of the Sima family was far deeper than he estimated.
