Chapter 1160 Cao Ang Returns to Luoyang
Outside Luoyang City, Gao Shun occupied Hulao Pass and brought in a large amount of grain.
Gao Shun continued to guard Hulao Pass.
This Hulao Pass has been severely damaged, and it is not so easy to rebuild it.
Outside the city of Luoyang, there are military camps.
At first Zhang Yu went north with 200,000 soldiers and horses, but later he got the news and asked 100,000 soldiers and horses to stay where they were and wait.
Luoyang no longer needs so many soldiers and horses.
Both Hulao Pass and Mengjindu have been occupied, and more troops can be mobilized at any time.
Zhang Yu still hopes to solve Luoyang peacefully. Cao Cao, Cao Ang and others are all smart people, and the final resistance is meaningless.
Zhang Liao laid out a heavy siege and set up many obstacles before waiting.
On this day, he was handling military affairs in the big tent, and the scouts came to report.
"Report to the general. General Zhao is here to report that Cao Ang and others are approaching Luoyang. Let you get out of the way safely."
When the scout came to report, Zhang Liao nodded after listening. He knew Zhang Yu's purpose.
"This commander personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses to surround them."
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he went to make arrangements.
Cao Ang and the others thought they hadn't been discovered, but in fact the area where they were hiding was surrounded.
Moreover, without Zhang Liao's arrangement, he would not be able to enter Luoyang. At this time, Luoyang has arranged three defensive lines, so it is not so easy to enter.
After half a night of siege, Cao Ang and the others were besieged.
"Eldest Young Master, this subordinate will take you out." Zhang Xiu was in a hurry, he was surrounded, but he was about to die.
Cao Ang shook his head calmly and said, "It's fate, it's useless, they are already surrounded by them."
"Master Cao, please come out and speak."
At this time, someone came to shout.
Cao Ang and the others hid in a col.
at the col,
Cao Ang and others hid in it, already panicking.
Besieged, with nowhere to go.
Cao Ang stepped forward to go out.
"Young master, you can't." Zhang Xiu held him back.
Cao Ang shook his head lightly and said: "This place has long been besieged, if I go out, the brothers still have a chance to survive."
It's the end of the mountain, and with their few people, there is no hope.
To Cao Ang's disappointment, he failed to go back to Luoyang to see Cao Cao.
Cao Ang went out, and a group of people knelt down.
Cao Ang came out and saw that the outside was surrounded by the army.
Zhang Liao came up, folded his hands and said, "Young Master Cao Ang."
The person who came was Zhang Liao, and he was here in person, the army must have completely surrounded this place.
"I don't know how General Zhang will deal with me? Maybe my head is a bit of credit." Cao Ang said calmly.
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "That's right, your head should be very important, that's why the lord ordered you to come to Luoyang without touching you all the way."
Cao Ang understood. They were driven away several times along the way, but they didn't attack them. It turned out to be the case.
"Where's Zhang Yu?"
"My lord hasn't come to Luoyang yet, but I have already explained to Mr. Cao Ang." Zhang Liao said.
Cao Ang hesitated on the spot and did not speak.
"My lord, let me let you into Luoyang." Zhang Liao said again.
"Why is this? What's the conspiracy?" Cao Ang asked.
Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "There's no need for a conspiracy. Luoyang is already under heavy siege by us. If there is a conspiracy, it will let you enter Luoyang to shake the morale of Cao's army. But my lord still hopes that you can persuade Cao Mengde to surrender."
When Cao Ang thought about it, there was really no need for any conspiracy.
"Where is the brother who came out of Wancheng with me?" Cao Ang asked again.
"If you can take them away, you can take them all away. Anyway, there is no difference between here and Luoyang." Zhang Liao said.
This is so confident.
More than 2,000 people, facing hundreds of thousands of troops, have little effect.
"Okay, let's enter Luoyang City."
After Cao Ang finished speaking, Zhang Liao left with his troops.
If Zhang Liao didn't let them go, they wouldn't be able to leave alone.
Cao Ang didn't suspect any conspiracy and brought people out directly.
He believed that there really was no need for a conspiracy.
When Cao Ang and the others came out, Zhang Liao had made arrangements for them to enter Luoyang City along the designated route.
They had a safe journey and all left outside Luoyang City.
Here, there are already continuous barracks, and there are still a large number of soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth.
These people turned a blind eye to them and ignored them.
When Cao Ang and the others saw this posture, their hearts were also half-cooled.
Surrounded heavily, a total of three layers of defense.
Under the surveillance of the Tang army, Cao Ang came outside the city.
"I'm Cao Ang, put a basket and hang me up." Cao Ang shouted when he reached the city gate.
More than 2,000 soldiers and horses came over. Cao Jun did not attack, but they were all on guard.
Cao Ang knew that it would be very difficult for the defenders in the city to open the gate.
But it's no problem to hang him up alone with a hanging basket.
Naturally, the guards in the city did not dare to open the door, but they knew Cao Ang, so it was no problem to hang him up alone.
Someone hurried to report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was very shocked when he received the news. He never thought that Cao Ang would come back. He thought Cao Ang had died in battle long ago.
"Quick, take me there quickly."
Cao Cao was seriously ill and could no longer walk, but he valued Cao Ang so much that he wanted to carry it.
Cao Ang went to the top of the city and did not leave, but stood on the top of the city.
"Immediately report to my father, let my father send someone to open the city gate and let them in." Cao Ang knew that the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to make decisions, and he did not want to embarrass them.
Cao Ang didn't leave because he was afraid that the soldiers below the city would mutiny. He came up by himself, but let them stay below, followed by hundreds of thousands of Tang troops.
So Cao Ang did not leave.
Cao Cao was carried over.
"Father, father, what's wrong with you." Seeing that Cao Cao was being carried over, Cao Ang hurriedly knelt down and cried.
"Ang'er, it's good that you can come back. Seeing that you are alive, I feel relieved for my father."
"It's nothing, it's just old."
"Let someone open the city gate. There can be no problem with the people brought back by Ang'er."
With Cao Cao's order, the gates of the city were naturally opened to let them in.
The process went smoothly, and nothing happened.
"Father, go back quickly, it's windy outside."
"Okay, go back, go back."
Cao Cao was indeed a lot happier. After all, Cao Ang was his child, and he was just an ordinary father at this time.
Back to Cao Cao's room, Cao Cao did not call outsiders.
"Father, Zhang Yu sent his son back to shake the morale of Luoyang's army. However, his son was not filial, so he came back." Cao Cao knelt beside Cao Cao and said.
"Silly boy, it's good if you can come back. The defeat of Wancheng has already been guessed, and it doesn't have much effect on the morale of the army."
Cao Cao lay down and sighed, originally he was very sad, because Cao Ang might have died, but now that Cao Ang is still alive, the situation is like this, and he relaxes a lot.
The current situation is already difficult to change, and they can only wait for the time being.
Maybe a miracle will happen, but it is difficult.
