Chapter 687: Great Xia Gate

After Jia Chong retreated, he immediately gathered a large number of black-clothed dead soldiers and pounced on the dead end for the second time, but when he arrived there again, he found that Cao Liang had already disappeared.

The slums were originally chaotic, and the streets were like a labyrinth, in this case, once Jia Chong lost Cao Liang, and then wanted to recover it, it was already a great difficulty, and he had no choice but to retreat in a huff and return to the arsenal to return to Sima Yi.

At this time, the arsenal has been put out by Sima Jiajun's efforts, the fire has finally been controlled, and it can be regarded as God's care, there is no wind today, if there is a strong wind, not only can the fire of the arsenal not be saved, but it may also spread everywhere, maybe half of Luoyang City may be burned by Cao Liang.

The fire in one of the warehouses was the first to be extinguished, but the weapons taken out of it were all burned to scrap metal, and under the barbecue of the fire, these weapons and equipment were completely deformed, and they were no longer equivalent to weapons.

Sima Yi couldn't help frowning when he saw that the swords, guns, and armor in the warehouse were no longer in shape and could no longer be used, it seemed that these weapons had all been destroyed, and there was no use for them anymore.

Sima Yi, who usually has a calm and breezy expression, was really angry this time, the anger in his eyes was burning, his plan was so flawless, but he didn't expect Cao Liang to destroy it, this Cao Liang, is it really the natural enemy of his Sima family?

At this time, Jia Chong also turned back and explained the situation to Sima Yi. didn't catch up with Cao Liang, and Jia Chong also looked a little depressed.

Sima Yi snorted heavily and said, "If you run away, the monk can't run away from the temple, Gonglu, you take someone to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion and arrest all the old and young of the Cao family, and leave no one behind." ”

Sima Yi didn't have to worry that Cao Liang would escape from the city now, because Sima Shi and Sima Fu had already controlled all the twelve Luoyang city gates, as long as Cao Liang's family members were all captured, Sima Yi didn't believe that Cao Liang would not obey.

Sent away Jia Chong, Sima Yi went straight to the palace, he had been delayed in the arsenal for too much time, and found nothing, now the top priority is to go to Yongning Palace, to meet the Empress Dowager Guo, now his mutiny is still equivalent to a rebellion, only to get the Empress Dowager Guo's decree, can his mutiny be legitimized.

At this moment, Cao Liang had already led his troops to approach the Great Xia Gate, and joined up with Fang Bu Cao Gui who was ambushed near the Great Xia Gate.

Cao Gui saw that Cao Liang's body was covered in blood, and couldn't help but cry out: "Little Junhou, are you injured?" ”

When breaking through, Cao Liang's left shoulder was indeed stabbed, but fortunately it did not hurt the muscles and bones, only a little skin injury, Cao Liang didn't have time to bandage it properly, just simply pulled a strip of cloth and wrapped the wound, as for the stains of blood, he naturally had nothing to deal with.

Cao Liang said disapprerovingly: "It's not in the way." What's the situation on your end? ”

Fang Bu said: "Sima Fu personally led the troops to occupy the Great Xia Gate, together with the original defenders of the Great Xia Gate, now in Sima Fu's hands, there are at least five or six hundred people, they have closed the city gate, prohibiting anyone from passing, and the cavalry camp has not yet arrived." ”

Cao Liang's instruction to Fang Bu was to cooperate with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, because it was meaningless for them to act in advance, but they would expose their strength, even if they snatched the Great Xia Gate from Sima Fu's hands, they would inevitably be attacked by Sima Jiajun's crazy counterattack.

Therefore, Cao Liang asked Fang Bu to bring one hundred and fifty people to the Great Xia Gate to temporarily ambush him, and when the Xiao Cavalry Battalion arrived, he would join them inside and outside, take the Great Xia Gate in one fell swoop, and open a passage in and out of Luoyang City.

This is crucial, only in this way can the powerful armed force of the Xiaocai Battalion enter Luoyang City and completely break the blockade of Luoyang City by the Sima family.

Cao Liang looked at the sun, it was already three poles in the sun, it was said that Cao Yan had already gotten the news at this point and rushed to the outside of the Great Xia Gate, but now there was no movement outside the city, could it be said that there was any accident on Cao Yan's side?

Cao Liang is not too worried about this, after all, Cao Liang has discussed several sets of plans with Cao Yan in advance to deal with different emergencies, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is obviously not beyond the scope of Cao Liang's estimate, Cao Liang only needs to wait patiently for a while now, I believe that Cao Yan can arrive soon.

The only thing that made Cao Liang a little worried was that he encountered Sima Fu in Daxiamen, this guy is also a powerful character among the Sima Bada brothers, second only to Sima Yi, both civil and military, and he is also a good hand in the military.

Sima Yi sent him to guard the Great Xia Gate, obviously Sima Yi also attaches great importance to the Great Xia Gate, I am afraid that today's fierce battle is inevitable.

Sure enough, after waiting for about a quarter or so, I heard the rumbling of horses' hooves from the city gate, and needless to say, it was also the team of the cavalry battalion that arrived.

When Cao Yan left the Beibi military camp, he drove south, looking at the Great Xia Gate, and when he was still far away from Luoyang, Cao Yan saw the scene of the smoke column in Luoyang City, and he couldn't help but worry about Cao Liang's safety, so he quickly stepped up and rushed to Luoyang City in one breath.

Since Wen Qin and Zhao Hong took 3,000 men and horses to take Jin Yong City, Cao Yan and Liu Jing only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses to the Great Xia Gate, but the huge momentum of the 2,000 cavalry was enough to alarm the defenders of the Great Xia Gate.

After Sima Fu quickly took control of the city gates to the north and east, he took control of the Great Xia Gate himself, and sent his son Sima Wang to the east to guard it.

Because Sima Yi had made full preparations before, they almost didn't encounter any resistance in the process of taking these city gates, and it can be said that they were bloodless.

But Sima Fu knows that the test of the Sima family has just begun, although they control all the gates of Luoyang City and block the internal and external transportation of Luoyang City, but Cao Shuang is still outside the city, and in his hands, he still has most of the forbidden army, if Cao Shuang counterattacks, there will be a fierce battle.

In addition, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion at the foot of the Beibi Mountain has always been a force that Sima Yi is deeply afraid of, although Sima Yi has tried his best to woo Cao Yan and Cao Liang's father and son, hoping that the Xiao Cavalry Camp can remain neutral, but no one can guarantee whether Sima Yi's wish can be realized.

Originally, Sima Fu was still patrolling the city, and when he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, he immediately hurried to the head of the city, and when he looked down, what caught his eye was the banner of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
