As Sima Yi expected, when Cao Ang received the Southern Xiongnu going south, his first reaction was that someone was joking, and the second reaction was that the Southern Xiongnu were looking for death. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Boren, are you sure that the Southern Xiongnu have gone south, how is this possible? Is the Southern Xiongnu crazy, our Han army is sweeping the northern frontier, if he doesn't make a move, there is still a glimmer of life, if he makes a move, he will inevitably face the full force of our army. Cao Ang looked at Xiahou Shang in disbelief.

"Uncle has mobilized all the troops in the north, and now our troops north of Sili are extremely scarce, and when the news came, it was nearly two days late." Xiahou Shang didn't answer Cao Ang's question at all, and directly named the main points.

"The defense of the north is empty?" Cao Ang was shocked, and instantly understood what this meant.

"But even if the defense of the north is empty, with the strength that our Han family is showing now, the Southern Xiongnu should not have the courage to provoke." Cao Ang immediately asked rhetorically.

"Regardless of whether you have the guts or not, and no matter what the reason is, since the Southern Huns have already gone south, there is no point in finding the reason again." Xiahou Shang said in a deep voice, "What we have to do now is more about how to repel the Southern Xiongnu, or how to protect the people under our rule!" ”

"Huh ......" was said by Xiahou Shang, Cao Ang also reacted, now there is no practical meaning to say what the reason is, only to solve the problem is the most meaningful, so Cao Ang took a deep breath and stood up.

"How many troops can we mobilize now?" Cao Ang looked at Xiahou Shang and said with sharp eyes, "Even if the defense in the north is empty, there should still be some troops in other places, so how many troops can we mobilize in five days and three days?" ”

"The troops that can be dispatched within five days, that is, as far as Meixian in the west and Huayin in the east, are more than 25,000 people, but this is the situation of vacating troops from all over the country and leaving only the government service, and 20,000 troops in three days." Xiahou Shang was silent for a while, calculated slightly, and said.

"Why is it so little, has the number of troops in Chang'an been calculated?" Cao Ang was taken aback, "How can we only have 20,000 troops when all of them are exhausted?" ”

"It's calculated, it's because of Chang'an, it's only two days short of 5,000 troops to transfer troops." Xiahou Shang looked at Cao Ang and said.

"How many generals do we have now?" Cao Ang took a deep breath and asked, not dwelling on the number of troops, but focusing on the generals.

"There is no problem with the generals, although my uncle took away a large number of generals when he left, but the Southern Huns only have two or three internal qi out of the body, and they do not have the talent of the legion. Xiahou Shang thought for a moment and said.

"So how many days will it take for the Southern Huns to arrive in Sili?" Cao Ang's heart was slightly calmer, and he asked another question.

"Six days if it's fast, eight days if it's slow." Xiahou Shang informed Cao Ang of his estimated speed of the Southern Xiongnu, and Cao Ang's heart sank, and he couldn't help pressing his temples.

"That is to say, we don't have much time, and it's just a matter of merging states, there are not many people in the Han family there, and once the Southern Xiongnu enter the Sili Society, it will cause great damage to our rule, so we must block the other party at the junction of the Sili and the state, and we only have three days to transfer troops?" Cao Ang was silent for a while and spoke.

"That's it!" Xiahou Shang said with a gloomy face.

Cao Ang immediately removed Cao Cao's sword from the wall on the side, and then walked outside, Xiahou Shang was stunned, and immediately followed Cao Ang out of the door, only to see Cao Ang turn over and get on his horse, ready to go straight to Weiyang Palace.

"Boren, inform the generals and colonels of our army to get ready, and inform all men over the age of sixteen in the Cao family to prepare for the battle." The moment Cao Ang went out, he yelled at Xiahou Shang, "Tell my father about this matter quickly." ”

At this time, Cao Pi, who was learning archery on the side, looked at Xiahou Shang when he heard the words, "Brother, what is my eldest brother doing here?" ”

"He went to ask for orders, I always thought that he was too modest and lacked decision, I really didn't expect that when he really encountered something, he made a decision at the first time." Xiahou Shang looked at Cao Ang's back and did not look back at Cao Pi.

Cao Pi tilted his head, slightly able to understand what Xiahou Shang meant.

In the past, Xiahou Shang also admired this eldest brother of the Cao family, but in his opinion, Cao Ang was a little too modest and too accommodating to other people's opinions, but this time he really saw Cao Ang's decisive side.

And this time, even when Xiahou Shang was hesitating whether to rescue or to hold on, Cao Ang made a decision almost instantly, although it cannot be said that Cao Ang's decision to rescue must be better than sticking to it, but at this time, being able to make a choice has already proved his excellence.

"Ziheng, you keep playing, I'm going to gather my brothers and Wenwu." Xiahou Shang stepped out and said without looking back, Cao Pi looked at Xiahou Shang's back ignorantly with a bow and arrow.

Cao Ang rode directly through Chang'an, went straight to Weiyang Palace, unloaded his sword at the palace gate, and walked all the way to Liu Xie's study with the eunuch.

It is reasonable that Cao Ang's current official position and title are not qualified to meet Liu Xie, but most of the people in the palace are already Cao Cao's people, so Cao Ang forced the other party to take him to find Liu Xie, and in fact, there was no obstacle.

Cao Ang rode through Chang'an and rushed into Weiyang Palace, and at this time, Xiahou Shang began to gather the generals of the Han army again, and the soldiers and horses belonging to the Cao family moved when they heard the wind, the younger generation of the Cao family, and the generals who are still staying in Chang'an, but the generals who follow Cao Cao also gathered quickly.

This kind of action surprised Dong Cheng, who had been monitoring Cao Cao's side, Fu Wan and others, thinking that Cao Ang was going to do it today, so he immediately closed the door and began to mobilize various private soldiers, and Fu Wan immediately rode his horse to the palace, and secretly ordered people to mobilize the northern army and prepare to do it.

Once Cao Ang has any misdeeds today, the ambush in the inner palace will do his best to chop Dong Zhuo to death, cut Cao Ang into meat sauce, and then lead the northern army to escort the Son of Heaven and the concubine to Hanoi to Jizhou, and Chang'an City has its own Dong Cheng, Chongji and others led various private soldiers to fight desperately.

After all, Cao Ang had never entered the inner palace, and the eunuch that Cao Ang caught happened to be one of the candidates arranged by Wu Shuo to protect the Son of Heaven in the inner palace, so this eunuch led Cao Ang to the wrong path, and secretly made gestures to inform the others, so that they could inform the Son of Heaven and other loyal people to get ready.

Because of this, when Cao Ang arrived in the study, Xiao Huangmen had already entered the study first, so when Cao Ang arrived, Fu Wan was reading with Liu Xie.

"In the Hanbei Army, Cao Ang sees the Son of Heaven." Cao Ang respectfully saluted Liu Xie, although Cao Ang was unhappy with Liu Xie, but he could still get by on the face.

"No courtesy." Liu Xie said nonchalantly, "I don't know why the candidates of the Northern Army can enter the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Please also forgive Your Majesty, the minister has important matters to report, and the matter is under the authority in a hurry, and I also ask the Son of Heaven to forgive me." Cao Ang respectfully saluted Liu Xie again.

"What's the big deal, you actually need to break into Weiyang Palace to meet me?" Liu Xie said coldly, "Let's hear it, trespassing on the palace is not a small crime. ”

Fu Wan coughed lightly twice on the side, signaling Liu Xie not to make the atmosphere so tense, after all, they are not ready now, even if Fu Wan is in charge of the Northern Army, he is not sure that in the case of Dong Cheng, Wu Shuo and others, he will take the Son of Heaven to Yecheng.

However, Liu Xie didn't pay attention to it at all, and he was now in a state of complacency.

"Almost all the departments of the Southern Huns are heading south, and they will enter the division in a few days." Cao Ang bowed down and said to Liu Xie.

"What?" Fu Wan was taken aback, and then suddenly reacted, "Your Majesty, the minister is rude." ”

"Don't care." Liu Xie said indifferently, as if he didn't take the Southern Huns to heart at all.

On the contrary, after being taken aback, his hands and feet were almost cold, and he had already opened his mind to think that Cao Ang ordered the Southern Xiongnu to go south and get rid of the Son of Heaven with the hands of the Southern Xiongnu, but this is also the brain hole under the panic, Cao Ang is not stupid to this extent.

After all, it doesn't matter whether the Son of Heaven is a puppet or not, as long as the Son of Heaven is dying in the war, then the person who guards must give an explanation.

Even if Liu Bei protects the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven dies by himself and dies in the war, Liu Bei may need to commit suicide to thank the world, if Liu Bei does not apologize, the forces under his rule may not be subject to turmoil, and it is estimated that only one-third of the entire force is scattered, and Liu Bei's ability is extraordinary.

"The Southern Xiongnu will approach Sili in six to eight days, and Bingzhou has already been in chaos because of the Southern Xiongnu going south, and many people have been displaced because of this." Cao Ang said with a little anger, "If you don't send troops to stop the Southern Xiongnu, Si Li will also be a mess." ”

"Hmph, the Southern Xiongnu were summoned by my edict, they are the king of Fengzhaoqin, and I will integrate them into the Southern Army and the West Garden after I come." Liu Xie said proudly, completely arrogant.

"What!" Cao Ang and Fu Wan were taken aback, and Fu Wan was almost colorless, unsteady on his feet, and his eyes were dim.

"Your Majesty, how can you be so confused!" Cao Ang roared angrily, this kind of roar with anger even made Liu Xie's face pale and his face showed fear.

But in the next moment, Liu Xie reacted, why should he be afraid of him, just a Cao Ang, and his southern army and Xiyuan New Army are about to arrive in Chang'an, what else is there to be afraid of!

Liu Xie, who had already collided in his heart at the time of the arrival, was full of hatred for Cao Ang in his eyes, and he dared to say that he was confused!

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, you dare to roar at me!" Liu Xie screamed angrily, "Come on, come on, take him down for me!" Dragged out and chopped, chopped! ”

"Whoa!" With the sound of the study door being pushed open, dozens of elite guards pushed the door in, and a sharp whistle sounded in the entire inner palace, and the guards in the inner palace immediately surged towards here! (To be continued.) )
