"Your Majesty, the hour has come." Early in the morning, Liu Gonggong woke up Liu Xie, and on the day of today's sacrifice, Liu Xie could not be allowed to miss the time.

"Yes, got it." Liu Xie replied to Father-in-law Liu, and began to tidy up his clothes. The sacrifice is an activity that Liu Xie rarely makes himself feel that it is the emperor, and no one will oppose him in the sacrifice, even if Cao Cao is in Xudu, he is respectful, this kind of activity without power, Cao Mengde will not worry about it.

Liu Xie tidied up his clothes and left the dormitory, got into the carriage, and left the palace. After leaving the palace, Cao Ang personally set off with five hundred soldiers to escort Liu Xie and went to the Taimiao Temple east of Xudu to worship.

At this time, Pang Tong was ambushing near the Taimiao with a thousand soldiers.

The temple is about 100 miles away from Xudu, and this temple was built for Liu Xie three years after Cao Cao built Xudu. Originally, when the Western Han Dynasty was established, the Taimiao was set up in Chang'an City, and after Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty restored the country, the Taimiao was set up in Luoyang City. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's disaster, both were deserted, and the Taimiao Temple also lost its original function.

When building Xudu, Yang Biao and his party often used the Taimiao sacrifice to try to get Liu Xie out of Cao Cao's control, in order to curb this situation, Cao Cao built a small Taimiao more than 100 miles away from Xudu to block the mouth of Youyou.

"Strategist, the defenses here are so sparse, will there be an ambush for the Cao army?" One of Pang Tong's personal soldiers looked around, this Taimiao was only garrisoned by more than 100 soldiers, where it was like the Taimiao of the Han Dynasty, and it was not as good as a granary.

"No, Cao Cao's choice of this place as the Taimiao has two, and Liu Xie's idea of returning to the two capitals to sacrifice is broken. Second, it is also to break the luck of the emperors of the Han Dynasty. Strengthen the luck of its Cao family. Pang Tong smiled slightly. Luck? Nonsense, Zi Bu is strange and confused, Cao Cao himself went to rob the tomb, and he didn't care about any luck. This is just an excuse for the ignorant to die Cao Xing.

"I see, no wonder the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years is about to fall into the hands of the Cao family, it turns out that the ancestors are not blessed, and such places worship the ancestors. How could the ancestors bless the great Han? The soldier nodded, as if he understood.

Cao Ang took the guards to escort Liu Xie and his party from Xudu in the morning, and arrived at the Taimiao at noon, Liu Xie took several fathers-in-law into the Taimiao to worship, and Cao Ang took the sergeants to eat outside the temple.

"Strategist, when are we going to do it?" Seeing that Cao Jun was defenseless, the soldiers actually ate outside the Taimiao.

"Don't worry, let's observe first, we have a lot of time, as long as there is movement here. The nearby Cao Army rangers will definitely spot us, and the nearby patrols will also appear when the time comes. We only have a quarter of an hour at most. Have all the things in the temple been arranged? Pang Tong looked at the surrounding terrain, assassination was Pang Tong's goal, but Pang Tong would not say that he was set up here and wanted to try to escape from the encirclement of Cao's army.

"Please rest assured, the temple has been arranged, the dead have been ambushed in the main hall, as long as we do it outside, we will do it inside, all the short swords are coated with poison, as long as it stabs Liu Xie, there is almost no chance of survival."

"Okay, remember, tell the brothers, after rushing out, you can only cut and kill for a quarter of an hour, everyone must remember the time in their hearts, after a quarter of an hour, they will scatter and flee, and when they encounter the Cao army who came to besiege them, they will say according to the previous drill, remember, they must go in batches, if the first batch is discovered, the latter batch will kill the first batch, so that at least a group of people can rush out." Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, if he wanted to deceive Cao Jun's army, he still had to sacrifice something.

"No!" The soldiers arched their hands and went down to make arrangements.

"Eldest Prince, why did you personally come to escort His Majesty's sacrifice? In my opinion, the King of Wei is too unfair, and he actually let Chong Gongzi lead the troops to the battle, which is obviously to Chong Gongzi to establish military merit and prestige, the eldest prince "Cao Ang took the soldiers to eat, and one of Cao Ang's relatives began to complain to Cao Ang, as Cao Cao's eldest son, he was actually sent to stay in Xu Du.

"That's enough, don't say this again, this son has warned you many times not to sow discord between our brothers, my father has his own decision on the choice of the son, how can you say more?" Cao Ang interrupted the words of his own soldiers, since Cao Cao was named the king of Wei, Cao Ang was disturbed by these things from time to time, it was nothing more than Cao Cao's intention to abolish the long and young, and the generals of his subordinates were not convinced.

"Go, go and set up a cordon, the enemy is the easiest to surprise at this moment."

"The eldest prince, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the brothers, the brothers have followed the eldest prince for many years, if the eldest prince can't inherit the throne of King Wei, what hope do the brothers have?" The pro-soldiers did not stop admonishing, this is the hinterland of Cao's army, where will there be a surprise attack by the enemy?

"This?" Cao Ang listened to the words of his own soldiers, and was stunned and fell into deep thought. It is not unreasonable for him to say that although he doesn't want Cao Cao's position, he also wants to be a brother and a friend, but the actual situation makes Cao Ang have to consider the overall situation.

Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, and when Cao Cao raised his army, he had already followed Cao Cao to conquer the south and the north, so it can be said that Cao Cao's soldiers were Cao Ang's soldiers. Cao Cao's old generals all looked to Cao Ang as the head of the horse, and always believed that Cao Ang was the heir of the Cao family, so they all tried their best to get closer to Cao Ang.

Now Cao Cao suddenly threw out the intention of letting Cao Chong inherit the King of Wei, Cao Cao's veteran will of course not be convinced, he has followed Cao Cao for many years, Cao Ang has grown up with all the generals, although the talent may not be as good as Cao Chong, but to be reasonable, everyone used to be close to Cao Ang, basically Cao Ang's henchmen, and now Cao Cao suddenly came to this hand, so how can the generals stand it? In particular, some generals with different surnames complained about Cao Cao's arrangement.

The generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan don't care very much about who the Cao family is, any person in the Cao family is a member of the Cao family, a relative, and a close relative, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are the same as the king of Wei.

"The eldest prince, we all look forward to the eldest prince, as long as the eldest prince gives an order, Chong Gongzi will definitely not inherit the throne so easily!" Seeing that Cao Ang hesitated, the pro-soldier directly said even bolder words.

"Kill!" Pang Tong saw that Cao's defense was lax, so he seized the opportunity and led people to kill.

"Enemy attack, someone attack!" Cao Jun immediately reacted, and an enemy was coming.

"Oops. In the temple! Rush into the temple. Rescue Your Majesty. Withdraw Xudu! Cao Ang hurriedly pulled out his long sword and rushed into the temple.

The Cao army outside the temple and the soldiers of Pang Tong fought.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as he rushed into the main hall, Cao Ang found that Liu Xie had fallen to the ground with a broken arrow, the palace maids and eunuchs were all killed, and the guards were also dead.

"Quick, take Your Majesty out!" Cao Ang hurriedly ordered someone to carry Liu Xie on his back and rushed out of the Taimiao, at this time, Pang Tong's army surrounded Cao's army. forced Cao Ang to retreat to the Taimiao.

"Light the wolf smoke, light the wolf smoke, and notify the nearby army to come to the rescue!" Cao Ang was raided by Pang Tong, lost a lot of soldiers, and the army he brought was not as large as Pang Tong's army, so he had a flash of inspiration, closed the temple door, and used the place where incense was enshrined in the temple to cast wolf smoke.

Pang Tong outside the temple saw the wolf smoke rising, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, Cao Ang. Sure enough, it hit the trick! Cao Zi is more than clever and resourceful, and he is not resourceful.

At this time, the granary of Xudu, which is ten miles away from Taimiao. The soldiers found out that the Taimiao actually emitted wolf smoke, and hurriedly reported to the guard, who was called Zhang Fang, a partial general who followed Cao Ang in the early years.

Zhang Fang saw that Taimiao was in danger, and thought that Cao Ang would protect Liu Xie in Taimiao today, so he hurriedly ordered the deputy general to guard the city, and he took five hundred soldiers to Taimiao to rescue.

"General, someone from the granary has come out!" Liao Hua's own soldiers pointed to the granary at the foot of the mountain, where Cao's army had built a city to store grain. The defenders were about a thousand people.

"Okay, as the military advisor said, the Cao Junshou here will rescue Cao Ang."

"Tell the brethren to get ready, and when this army goes far, they will pretend to be defeated and attack the granary!"

"No!"

As soon as Zhang Fang and the sergeant left, Liaohua's army came to the granary under the granary pretending to be defeated.

"Open the city gate quickly, the eldest prince is injured, open the city gate quickly!" Liao Hua shouted towards the city gate.

"What? The eldest son? The adjutant general looked from the tower and saw more than 100 defeated soldiers dragging a dying man to the bottom of the walled city. The man's armor was all torn, and his face was blackened and unrecognizable.

"What evidence do you have to prove that this person is the eldest prince?" The lieutenant is not stupid and has begun to ask for tokens.

"Our army was raided in Taimiao, and the Gongzi token has been lost." Liao Hua began to answer the lieutenant general according to Pang Tong's instructions.

"If there is no evidence, how can it be proved that he is the eldest prince?"

"Bastard, the eldest prince is here, if you don't believe it, you can go down to the city to see it yourself, if it's not the eldest prince, I'll wait for you to dispose of it!" Don't talk nonsense, delay the time of Childe's treatment! Liao Hua roared loudly.

"This?" The deputy general can't be sure, if it's not Cao Ang below, everything will be easy, but if it's Cao Ang below, wouldn't he have committed a big crime.

"You wait here to be on guard, I'm going to go down and have a look!" For the sake of his own future, the lieutenant decided to go down to the city to find out.

"No!"

"My lord, the generals above have come down." Liao Hua's personal soldiers saw that the deputy general had left the city tower and reminded Liao Hua.

"Okay, put this person on the cart, push him under the tower, as soon as the gate is opened, use this car to jam the gate, as long as we take the gate, the granary will be in the bag of our army." Liao Hua nodded and began to deploy to capture the city gate.

"No!"

"The eldest prince, the eldest prince!" The adjutant general went down to the city, opened the city gate, and rushed to the vicinity of the cart with a few of his own soldiers.

"Hit the mark!" As soon as the lieutenant came to the front of the board car, he found that he had been tricked. It's a pity that Liao Hua killed the deputy general with a knife, and then quickly took control of the city gate, and the soldiers who were ambushed around suddenly besieged the city, and the granary was soon captured by Liao Hua.

On the other hand, after Cao Ang lit the wolf smoke, a large army soon came to the rescue. By this time, Pang Tong's army had already scattered and fled.

"Brother Ba, there is a situation ahead!" Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang saw that there was wolf smoke in Taimiao, and the two who were inspecting the city defense on the outskirts of Xudu hurriedly rushed to Taimiao with 3,000 cavalry.

"Strategist, there is an enemy ahead!" At this time, Pang Tong turned into a deserter and happened to meet the army of the Xiahou Ba brothers. At this time, Xiahou Ba's front army was already asking about a defeated Cao army, and Pang Tong recognized that this was the first group of people to retreat.

"Kill! Rush over and kill our men! Pang Tong drew his long sword and rushed out.

"They are Liu Beijun, brothers kill them!" Pang Tong took the lead and rushed towards the sergeant who was being interrogated.

Xiahou Ba's front army also reacted, and hurriedly drew their swords to meet the enemy. Soon, under the attack of Pang Tong and Xiahou Ba, more than 100 soldiers were all killed.

"The villain has seen the two little generals of Xiahou!" After Pang Tong killed the last soldier, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted Xiahou Ba.

"Who are you? Why are you chasing these disguised soldiers? ”

"General Hui, we are the subordinates of the eldest prince, the eldest prince was attacked in the Taimiao, we fought hard, just arrived at a peaceful place and found this person disguised as a sergeant of our army, the villain saw that the enemy was outnumbered, only to follow, waiting for the opportunity to move." Pang Tong knelt on the ground, did not raise his head, and replied to Xiahou Ba.

"How is the eldest son?"

"General Xiahou, the eldest prince estimates that there is less luck, and when we rush out, there will be enemy chasing and killing behind us."

"Brother Ba, let's go to Taimiao quickly, otherwise brother?"

"Okay, order the whole army to move forward at full speed, and target Taimiao."

"General Xiahou, we don't have any horses?" Pang Tong pointed to his sergeant, only a few of them had war horses.

"Just follow the army!"

"No!"

"Wait, Brother Shang, those defeated sergeants?" Xiahou Ba had just marched a mile forward when he realized that something was wrong, and he should interrogate those routs properly.

"What do you mean, brother?"

"The former military captain quickly went to the back to take a look, those routs are still there!"

"No!"

After the return of the former army, it reported to Xiahouba that the rout had long since disappeared.

"Brother Ba?"

"Hmph, how dare you play General Ben? Come on, bring the map, let Liu Jun's thieves see the power of General Ben! (To be continued......)
