Chapter 1729 The wind and snow do not block the way

After arriving in Chang'an, Cao Liang and his party basically did not stop and headed straight for Chen Cang, which shocked the Yongzhou Governor Du Bi in cold sweat. Cao Liang was the emperor and was so light and simple. If anything went wrong, his new Yongzhou Governor would be no more than death.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, the whole journey was under the control of the Wei army, so even if Cao Liang had fewer guards, it would have nothing to do with it. Ordinary thieves and bandits could not threaten him at all.

But from Chang'an to Chencang, we have entered the enemy-to-we-war zone. The situation there is mixed and the military situation is complicated. Once the spies of Sima's army learn about Cao Liang's identity, they are likely to send someone to assassinate Cao Liang. Can more than 100 guards alone be able to defeat the thousands of troops of Sima's army and Shu army?

So Du Bi proposed to send troops to escort Cao Liang to Chen Cang, but Cao Liang refused. Cao Liang did not make any big fuss on his expedition this time, but just went to the expedition in a concealed manner. Not to mention the spies of Sima's army, except for a few ministers, even many ministers in the court did not know where Cao Liang was going, so Cao Liang thought that it was actually the safest for him to go to Chen Cang to lightly.

On the contrary, Du Bi sent troops to escort with great fanfare, which was easy to attract attention. The people under heavy escorts must be big shots, and it is unknown whether they even attracted Sima's army to send people to assassinate.

Therefore, Cao Liang, who had been relatively low-key on this trip, politely declined Du Bi's kindness, and immediately led his troops to Chang'an and headed straight for Chen Cang.

There was a storm along the way, but this did not delay Cao Liang's itinerary at all. Three days later, Cao Liang rushed to the Wei army camp outside Chencang City.

Originally, Deng Ai, Yang Hu, Ma Long, Qian Hong, Wen Qin, Wang Jun and other six chief and deputy governors of the Central Army were discussing affairs together. Suddenly, they heard the news that His Majesty arrived and were shocked. They hurriedly got up and ran to the gate to welcome the Holy Lord.

Cao Liang came in a clothed cloth and walked on the snow. His hat was covered with snow? He was covered with snow? Deng Ai and Yang Hu thought that his Majesty had arrived. He must have been guarding the guards in groups of chariots and horses, but he did not expect that Cao Liang appeared in front of them in this way, which surprised the generals and claimed that he had come late, which made His Majesty suffer.

Cao Liang brushed the snowflakes with disregard, and smiled, saying, "I came here on the night of the starry night? It's just for the Chen Cang matter? Well, this is not a place to talk about. Please be calm."

The generals then felt that it was inappropriate to stand in the heavy snow, so they hurriedly welcomed Cao Liang into the central army's tent. Yang Hu also specially ordered people to pick up a few charcoal braziers to keep Cao Liang and Huan Fan warm and drive away the cold.

Cao Liang sat down and asked directly: "Shizai, uncle, how is Chen Cang's battle now?"

Yang Hu was responsible for the attack on the city? He reported with shame: "Report to Your Majesty? I am incompetent and have lost your high hopes. I besieged Chen Cang for more than 20 days and have not achieved any merit. Please punish you for your crimes."

Cao Liang smiled slightly and said, "Victory and defeat are common affairs. What's the crime of you? What's more, the battle between Chen Cang has not yet ended, and it's too early to say success or failure. Chen Cang City was built by Guo Huai. It was originally intended to prevent the invasion of Shu Kingdom. Such a fortress city would definitely not be able to be taken down without spending some great effort. You have only fought for more than twenty days. If you want to take Chen Cang, this time is far from enough."

Qian Hongdao: "Your Majesty, Chen Cang City is indeed a strong city with excellent defense. In addition, the guard general Zhou Tai was originally a brave and good at fighting. He just attacked and attacked hard. His soldiers were killed and killed. Governor Yang was polite to the soldiers and was unwilling to hurt the lives of the soldiers. He was looking for other ways to break the city."

When Cao Liang heard this, he said with great interest: "Have you thought of any good idea?"

Yang Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "I am still planning and there is no good plan yet."

Judging from his expression, there should be some substantial plans, but it has not been implemented yet. Cao Liang, the character of Yang Hu, is relatively clear, calm, calm, not ostentatious, and not impulsive. He will not be placed on the table until he is almost certain.

Cao Liang smiled, did not ask him again, stood up and said, "Let's go out and see how powerful this turtle shell of Chen Cang is."

Without practice, there is no right to speak. Although Cao Liang received the latest reports on the front line of Chen Cang from time to time, just looking at official documents and on-site investigations are completely different. Only by seeing Chen Cang’s situation in person can Cao Liang have a clear mind. This is also the reason why Cao Liang rushed to Chen Cang to come. Now that he is here in person, how could he not go and see with his own eyes?

The generals dissuaded them one after another. After all, it was getting late and it was snowing again. Because of the weather, the Wei army's siege operation was suspended for a day today. At this time, Cao Liang went to investigate, and it might not be safe. Therefore, everyone's suggestion was to see it again after tomorrow sunny tomorrow.

But Cao Liang did not agree. It was Cao Liang's principle to do today's business, so no matter whether it was getting dark or not, Cao Liang insisted on going to Chencang City to take a look.

The generals had no choice but to arrange a large number of guards and follow Cao Liang to the city of Chencang. At the distance of the distance of an arrow below the city, Yang Hu and others refused to let Cao Liang approach the city wall. If they approached the city wall, they would probably be attacked by cold arrows on the city, and their safety could not be guaranteed.

Cao Liang had no choice but to obey, rode his horse around the city for a while, and carefully checked the situation of Chen Cangcheng.

A large group of people peeking under the city, which naturally aroused the alert of the defenders. It was snowing today, and the Wei army did not come to attack the city, which just gave Sima army some breathing opportunity. Zhou Tai was also resting. After hearing the sentry's report, he immediately caught up with the city.

Sure enough, the Wei army dispatched a large number of cavalry to wander around the city. Looking at this stance, they were just here to reconnaise and spy, and had no intention of siege.

Logically speaking, the Wei army has been sieging the city for more than 20 days. They should know exactly what Chen Cang City is like. Do they need to observe it specifically in snow?

No, looking at the Wei army's formation, it seemed that some big shot was coming. Zhou Tai looked from a distance and saw the generals of the Wei army surrounded by one and pointed at Chen Cangcheng. Zhou Tai felt that this person looked familiar, but the distance was too far, the weather was not good, and it was a little unreal.

The Wei army came and went quickly. They walked around the city and soon disappeared into the wind and snow. Zhou Tai muttered for a long time before suddenly awakening. Isn’t that person Cao Liang?

Zhou Tai couldn't help but slam his thigh and almost hit the wall in annoyance. If Zhou Tai had recognized it earlier, he would lead his troops out to rush out, and he might have a chance to capture and kill Cao Liang.

What a pity, this opportunity to change the destiny of the world was wasted in vain.
