Chapter 721 Bloody Storm Luoyang City
ps: Chapter Anti-theft, will be corrected later……………………………………………………………………………………
Although the woman in front of him was disheveled and wearing servant's clothes, this did not prevent Cao Liang from recognizing her at a glance among the crowd.
Cao Liang knew Wang Yuanji. They had met her once at Master Sima's wedding. Wang Yuanji was also a rare beauty. Her beauty and outstanding temperament left a deep impression on Cao Liang.
Although the woman in front of her is wearing shabby clothes, her hair is messy, and her face is smeared with black ash from the bottom of a pot, no matter how she tries to cover it up, she can't hide her graceful and luxurious temperament.
Give up on yourself, Wang Yuanji comes from a wealthy family after all, and her innate aura of being a lady is not something that ordinary servants can possess.
What's more, she was holding the hand of a boy about ten years old tightly in her hand. Cao Liang noticed her from a distance. When he got closer, he almost didn't need to judge anymore, he could distinguish it clearly at a glance.
No wonder she couldn't be found. It turned out that Wang Yuanji disguised herself as a servant and mingled among the slaves, trying to get through. It seems that this woman is really not an easy person!
Cao Liang smiled slightly. Fortunately, he firmly believed that Wang Yuanji was still in the city and deliberately conducted a search, otherwise he would have let her escape.
After all, after leaving the city, the Bingzhou Army's supervision of these subordinates was not as strict as that of the direct descendants of the Sima clan. If Wang Yuanji was determined to escape and could get help, the probability of successful escape would be at least 90%.
Now that her identity has been discovered, Cao Liang will naturally send someone to take care of her. This time, she will not be able to escape even if she has wings.
Because her face was covered with thick black ash, Cao Liang couldn't really tell Wang Yuanji's expression, but from her eyes, she looked calm and calm, without too much panic. She moved the little boy to
He pulled himself behind, faced Cao Liang, and said calmly: "Since you have seen through it, then kill him if you want, and chop him if you want. It's just that he is still a child, I hope you can let him go."
Cao Liang glanced at Sima Yan with interest. The child was timidly hiding behind Wang Yuanji, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Cao Liang smiled and said: "Mrs. Wang and Mr. Ling are our distinguished guests, so there is no reason to harm them. Come, please take Mrs. Wang and Mr. Sima to freshen up. Don't neglect them."
Throughout the whole day, Sima Division has been busy directing the construction of the pontoon bridge. However, due to limited raw materials, the progress of the pontoon bridge is relatively slow. So far, it has only been laid to the center of the river. There is still a short distance to cross the river.
It seems that if Sima Jun wants to cross the river, he will have to wait until tomorrow at least.
The progress was so slow that Master Sima was anxious. If he delayed here for a moment, the possibility of Cao Liang flying away would increase. If he could only cross the river tomorrow, then what was the point of crossing the river?
Now Sima Shi's only hope is that Hu Fen, the governor of Hanoi, can hold off Cao Liang and prevent Cao Liang from escaping back to Bingzhou. Once Cao Liang leaves Hanoi and enters Shangdang, he will let the tiger return to the mountain and try to capture him again.
Oh my god.
The army did not dare to cross the river directly on the ice. After all, Sima Wang's lessons were still in front of them, but this did not prevent a small team of scouts from crossing the river. Choosing those who were small and thin, and being more careful, they could still cross the river.
Climb on the ice.
Sima Division really needs to send someone to cross the Yellow River first to spy on Cao Liang's whereabouts, or wait for his army to cross the river and march with a purpose and direction.
However, the results of the scout's spying surprised Sima Division. Hu Fen was defeated by the Bingzhou cavalry in Heyang and has now fled to Jizhou. The entire Hanoi County is now controlled by Cao Liang, and the latest information he has obtained
, Cao Liang went on a rampage in Wen County and retaliated wildly against the Sima people, killing countless people and plundering heavily. His methods were despicable and outrageous.
When Master Sima heard the news, he frowned. He originally expected Hu Fen to be able to hold off Cao Liang, but now it seems that this plan has obviously failed. The entry of the Bingzhou cavalry has completely changed the situation in Hanoi. Cao Liang turned to defense.
After attacking and controlling Hanoi, the situation was completely out of control.
As for Cao Liang's massacre in Wen County, although Sima Shi was angry, there was nothing he could do about it. Moreover, these side branches were not too important to Sima Shi. If it were Sima Shi, he would have had the opportunity to deal with Cao Liang.
As for his family members, their methods may be much more cruel than Cao Liang's.
But this news was nothing less than a thunderbolt for Sima Zhao, because his wife and children were in Wen County at the moment. Now that Wen County had fallen, and the lives of his wife and children were uncertain, how could he not go berserk.
Sima Zhao rushed to the river and roared at the soldiers who were building the pontoon bridge: "Build the bridge quickly! What do you trash do for food and drink? You can't build a pontoon bridge for so long? What if you can't build it again today?"
If it’s good, throw them all into the Yellow River to feed the fish!”
The soldiers looked at Sima Zhao, who was almost going crazy. They all looked confused. We have provoked whom, and made the second master so angry. Besides, if the bridge cannot be built well, is it our responsibility?
The leader of the school captain quickly said to Sima Zhao: "Second Master, this pontoon bridge cannot be built well. The main reason is the lack of wood. Unless I wait and try my best."
Sima Zhao pointed at the surrounding mountains and said angrily: "Lack of wood? The mountains over there are not all wood. You should send people to chop them quickly. Why are you still lingering here?"
The captain had a wry smile on his face. There was no shortage of wood on Beimang Mountain, but cutting down trees required a lot of manpower and tools, and transporting them down from the mountain was not easy. They had already sent people to cut down the trees.
But it had little effect.
The captain was about to explain to Sima Zhao. Master Sima came from behind, gave Sima Zhao a hand, and said: "Second brother, I can't eat hot tofu in such a hurry. This pontoon bridge also needs time to build, not to mention the situation in Hanoi."
If there are changes, we have to take a long-term approach."
Sima Zhao said with a tearful look on his face: "Your siblings and nephews are all trapped in Wen County now. If we arrive too late, I'm afraid their lives will not be saved!"
Master Sima then remembered this matter. After all, it was the old man who arranged for Wang Yuanji and Sima Yan to return to Wen County. But he didn't expect that he originally wanted to reserve a way out. He was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, but
