Chapter 476 Capturing the Prince of the Cao Family Alive
When Ma Di entered Luoyang Yin again, everyone in Cao Wei did not notice it at all. At this moment, the entire Luoyang is undergoing relocation work in full swing, striving to move the capital to Yecheng as soon as possible.
Since the Han army pushed the battle line near Hangu, it seemed as if a sharp sword was hanging over the heads of Cao Wei and his ministers. Because there are many roads from Guanxi to Guandong, the Han army might come out again one day, so Cao Rui and his ministers were always on tenterhooks, fearing that Ma Su would come to appeal again.
So the Cao Wei court showed the fastest administrative efficiency in history and passed the motion to move the capital at the speed of light. Later, after dispatching a large number of soldiers and horses to block Hangu and monitoring all the paths eastward from Kansai, Cao Wei began to move the capital.
The Cao family clan and officials must be moved out of the war zone in Luoyang as soon as possible.
So at this time, a large number of cars have been traveling between Hulao Pass and Luoyang. There were many carriages and horses, and for a while there was an illusion of prosperity.
However, this prosperity was false after all. After these officials moved away, Luoyang would completely become a battlefield frontline. During the next Han army's eastern expedition, this place will probably become a huge meat grinder.
"Your Highness, please sit tight in the car. We still have a long way to go." A courtier said to a young child, while helping a beautiful woman next to him to cover the wind blowing out of the window.
And around this chariot, thousands of knights were guarding it. Even on Cao Wei's own territory, the knights were still highly vigilant about their surroundings.
There was no other reason than that the current prince was in the car they were guarding. There must be no problem with these two, otherwise the country and the country will be unstable.
Under the protection of more than a thousand cavalry of the Yulin Army, the prince's chariot of the Cao family was slowly traveling eastward. They will first enter Puyang from Hulao Pass, and then go north to Yecheng, the final destination this time.
The cavalry of the Yulin Army just want to reach Hulao Pass as soon as possible. After all, Luoyang is still under the front of the Han army and is still somewhat dangerous.
But what you are afraid of often comes. Just when this group of Yulin soldiers were thinking about going away to avoid trouble, they suddenly saw smoke and dust suddenly rising in the south, and many birds were frightened.
"There's a situation! Get in formation!" The leader of the Yulin Army immediately issued a warning and ordered the Yulin Army to form a formation to protect the prince. All the troops are on high alert and ready to fight hard.
"Your Highness! Hide quickly! There seems to be an enemy attack!" The ministers also hurriedly entered the car and reminded the prince to take avoidance.
At the same time, Ma Su also saw the unique car from a distance. The size and appearance of the car were completely unworthy of a minister.
In other words, this is very likely to be a member of the Cao family clan, or even a descendant of the royal family...
"Okay, it looks like we really caught a big fish!" Ma Di was overjoyed and turned around and ordered in person.
"Everyone, please be careful. There is a big fish in that car! Don't get hurt!"
"As for the others, just get rid of them all!"
"As you command!"
A group of guard cavalry agreed together, and the five hundred cavalry excitedly rushed towards Cao Wei's prince's chariot.
When the two armies came closer, the Yulin army also saw the banner of the Han army. When the leader saw Ma Su clearly, he was almost frightened and fell off his horse.
"It's Ma Su! Ma Su is back to fight again!"
"Go to Luoyang quickly and ask for help! Ma Di is back to fight again!"
As soon as they heard that the enemy general was Ma Su, the Yulin army was immediately in chaos. Due to Ma Su's reputation, all the knights of the Yulin Army panicked.
But after all, it was Luoyang's imperial army, and because it was the prince they were protecting, these Yulin Army soldiers still pushed forward.
However, it was of no use. As soon as the two sides met the enemy, the Wei army immediately felt the gap between the two sides. The five hundred Han soldiers crushed the most elite Yulin army, and the Wei army fell to the ground like grass.
"Get out of the way!" Ma Su and the leader of the Yulin Army passed by on the wrong horse, and beheaded him in just one turn.
However, the fighting will of the Yulin Army really surprised Ma Su. These more than a thousand Forbidden Army soldiers were not afraid of casualties at all. After that, he asked Ma Su to kill them all, and then the battle was over.
"As expected of the Forbidden Army, the fighting power is mediocre, but the fighting will is really impressive." After hacking the last Yulin sergeant to death, Ma Su couldn't help but sigh.
After dealing with all the resisters, Ma Di led the cavalry and surrounded the prince's chariots. After killing the nearby ministers who tried to resist, Ma Su opened the curtain of the car and looked inside.
Sitting in the driver's seat were a well-dressed woman and a three- or four-year-old child. When she saw Ma Su, the woman looked frightened and protected the child behind her.
"Fang'er, hide behind me..."
"Fang'er..." When Ma Su heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
He had thought about catching a big fish, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
Feeling: Did I capture the crown prince of the Cao family?
"This time I'm really getting rich!" Ma Di spoke to comfort Cao Fang and her son inside, then exited and laughed.
"If Cao Rui doesn't shed some blood now, this matter won't end so easily!"
This is the crown prince of the Cao family. Cao Rui has only one son so far. Although he is only an adopted son, he is still valuable enough.
"General, what should we do next..." Ma Zhong stepped forward and asked cautiously.
"What to do? The wind is blowing hard! If you don't run away after catching a big fish, are you going to get lost like a fisherman?" Ma Di snorted and gave a decisive order.
"Run! It's better to run away with the Cao family prince! If Wei Jun takes it back, I will be so distressed that I won't be able to sleep!"

Just when Ma Su captured the queen and prince of the Cao family alive, Cao Rui was in Luoyang preparing to board the emperor's chariot. At this moment, most of the royal family had already gone ahead, and as the emperor, he was the last to leave.
God knows how frightened Cao Rui spent this month in Luoyang. Every day he dreamed of Ma Di's face. He woke up in the middle of the night and opened the bed and saw Ma Di.
But even so, when Zhuge Liang sent people to negotiate for redemption, Cao Rui still flatly rejected Zhuge Liang's request to return Huang Quan.
If Xiahou Ba is gone, a clan general will be lost. If a great talent like Huang Quan is returned, something will really happen.
In the end, Cao Rui exchanged part of the food for Cao Shuang and some of his troops, which was considered a return of some blood.
The only thing that made Cao Rui feel distressed was the news coming back from Bingzhou. Chen Qun's son Chen Tai did not survive in the end and died of illness in Taiyuan, becoming the highest general to die in the Guanzhong War.
"That's all, everything will be fine when the capital is moved to Yecheng." Cao Rui shook his head, took one last look at the Luoyang Palace, and planned to leave by car.
However, at this moment, Cao Rui saw a Yulin Army cavalry returning from outside the city in panic.
"Your Majesty! The Prince's chariot was attacked by the Shu army! The Queen and His Highness are in danger!"
"What!"
