Chapter 477 Several Cavalry Charge into the Formation
"What! Ma Di is back again?" Cao Ruidang panicked after hearing the report.
"Isn't there surveillance on the road from Guanxi to Luoyang? How can the Shu army still appear in Luoyang Yin?"
What do the troops in Beimang Mountain do for food? Such a big demon king didn't even notice. Thanks to me being the last one to leave Luoyang, otherwise if I had met Ma Di in the wild...
Cao Rui couldn't even imagine his fate.
"Your Majesty! The Shu army came from the south, not from the north." The Yulin Army cavalry who came to report the news replied in horror.
"Your Majesty, now the prince's chariot has been ambushed by the Shu army, and the prince is in danger!"
"I know, I will issue an edict for rescue." Cao Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Beiman Mountain did not release the Han army.
Since it came from the south, it should have taken a detour from Nanyang. Taking the same route to make a surprise attack, Ma Su was destined not to bring many troops.
In other words, this time it was still a harassing attack by the Shu army, not a general attack. With Ma Su's small number of people, at least Luoyang would be safe for the time being.
Then there is no need to be too anxious. At worst, we can wait until Ma Di is gone before moving the capital.
As for Cao Fang... although he is indeed established as the prince now, in the final analysis he is an adopted son of the clan. At worst, he would adopt another one later. Being kidnapped would not have a huge impact on Wei.
After figuring out that Ma Di was still unable to capture Luoyang this time, Cao Rui quickly felt relieved. Then he quickly got off the emperor's chariot, drove back to the palace, and ordered Luoyang Yin's ministries to intercept him.
Ma Su gathered a total of five hundred people, and everyone came together. Even if they couldn't keep him, they couldn't watch him take the prince hostage and drive back to Kansai. What is lost in this way is no longer a prince, and the prestige of Cao Wei will be ruined.

At the same time, a group of unarmed and exhausted soldiers also returned to Hangu. The leader among them was Cao Shuang, a member of the Cao family who was captured for the second time.
This group of people originally besieged Ma Su in Hongnong together with Sima Yi. Cao Shuang was even more fierce and prepared to fight Ma Su to the death.
As a result, at the critical moment, the Yellow River happened to thaw, instantly blocking Cao Shuang in Pubanjin. Especially because it had just thawed and there was a lot of ice floating on the river, the Wei army would not be able to cross the river for a while.
As a result, Cao Shuang could only watch as Sima Yi was defeated, and then the entire Hongnong was occupied by the Han army. And he was blocked in Pubanjin for nearly half a month. Finally, he ran out of food and had to surrender to the Han army.
This is the second time he has been captured, which makes the face-saving Cao Shuang extremely embarrassed. When he was redeemed and returned to Hangu, Cao Shuang kept a gloomy face and said nothing.
"Uncle Zhao, you are back."
At the head of Hangu City, his old friend Qin Lang welcomed him back smoothly. Although the words were dry and emotionless, Cao Shuang could feel that Qin Lang really didn't care.
"Why are you here?" Cao Shuang was very surprised that Qin Lang appeared here. And when he looked around, he found that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed throughout Han Valley to Beimang Mountain.
This was obviously not to welcome him, but rather to be wary of the threat from Kansai.
"A month ago, Shu general Ma Di led thousands of cavalry out eastward, crossed the river from Heyin, and fought all the way to Luoyang City. Although the Shu army left quickly due to insufficient logistics, His Majesty was very worried about it." Qin Lang replied casually,
"Now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in the entire Beimang Mountain, and we are always on guard against the Shu army moving eastward again. At least until His Majesty finishes moving the capital, I have to stay here."
Cao Shuang was a little surprised when he heard this explanation, but he quickly accepted the fact.
Since it is Ma Su, nothing is surprising. Cao Shuang even believed that even if Ma Su came to kill from Luoyang now, he would not be surprised at all.
"In short, Uncle Zhao, hurry back to Luoyang and go to Yecheng with His Majesty. Don't run to the front line anymore. Your Majesty may not redeem you if you are captured again." Qin Lang waved his hand, as if he had been captured together. An old friend, he sincerely suggested to Cao Shuang.
Although being defeated by Ma Su is nothing, it is really embarrassing to be captured every time.
Look at Chen Tai. Even if he was hit by an arrow in the knee, he could run away from Ma Su's hand. In the end, he died on his own territory.
"This was an accident. I won't be captured a third time." Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang's mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
Which pot should not be opened and lifted?
However, Cao Shuang was too lazy to say anything about this, and immediately planned to ride towards Luoyang with a few cronies.
But just when Qin Lang was about to see him off, he suddenly heard a warning sound from the rear.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"The enemy is in Luoyang!"
"The Shu army is coming from the direction of Luoyang! Be alert!"
"What are you shouting about?" Cao Shuang was a little confused, but before he could have a major attack, a deputy general rushed to the front line in panic to report,
"General Hussars, Shu troops have appeared from the direction of Luoyang and are attacking here! Their flags have Ma Su's name embroidered on them! They are only ten miles away from here."
"Oh..." Qin Lang was very calm about this, touching his chin and pondering for a while.
"It looks like we are going to be defeated again."
"Can you have some courage!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Shuang's face suddenly darkened. Obviously, he was ready to be a timid lizard before the Qinlang battle even started, which made Cao Shuang very unhappy.
After saying that, regardless of whether he still had the power to mobilize troops, he immediately passed Qin Lang and gave the order.
"Every unit is in formation to prepare for war! Since the Shu army is attacking here, there is a high probability that they are planning to escape back to Guanxi! We must not allow them to escape smoothly!"
Cao Shuang thought very well. Although he didn't know where the Shu army came from to Luoyang, he thought there shouldn't be too many troops. Even for Ma Su, it is not easy to successfully break through in front of so many soldiers and horses.
Today, I, Cao Shuang, am going to avenge my previous humiliation!
The abacus was very good, but before his order could be passed on, he immediately heard the noise of the Wei army in front.
"The great Han chariot general Ma Su is here! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Just hearing a sunny and cheerful laughter, several figures suddenly appeared in front of Cao Shuang. The leading man turned into gray and even Cao Shuang recognized it, it was Ma Di!
"This group of Wei soldiers are really useless. They were stabbed through by just a few of me." Ma Su said to himself as he killed the Wei soldiers in front of him.
Originally, Ma Su planned to use 500 cavalrymen to seize the Cao family's emperor's chariot and forcefully break through the Wei army's troops in Hangu. But considering that this was still not enough to kill him, Ma Su decided to make a temporary appearance.
He only took a few servants and cavalry, and went ahead with Ma Zhong to attack the Wei army before the larger force.
Because there were only a few people, Wei Jun didn't respond at all. In addition, no one expected that the Shu army would rush over from Luoyang, so they were unprepared.
In this way, Ma Su cosplayed with Guan Yu on the spot, and prepared to personally take the enemy general's head with thousands of troops!
