Chapter 122 Yidai Zhao finds out that Liu Bei has fled
Chapter 122 The belt edict was discovered and Liu Bei fled
Then Pang Tong and Liu Bei looked at each other, then picked up a dagger and cut the belt open. A piece of brocade silk with blood was hidden in it.
Both of them couldn't help but breathe nervously. Pang Tong carefully took out the brocade silk, and it turned out to be a secret edict written in blood!
The two of them were shocked, and Guan Yu beside them was also extremely shocked.
This is actually a belt edict!
Pang Tong's face turned pale for a moment, and he said quickly: "Lord, retreat quickly, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time! Reorganize the troops immediately, we must withdraw from Xuchang immediately!"
You must know that this is the evacuated territory. How can Liu Xie, who is in his hands, not be monitored?
How could the emperor give someone a belt for no reason? Cao Cao would definitely know about it, and then they would be in danger.
At the same time, at Cao Cao's residence in Xuchang, a bronze bird came to summon him.
"My lord, your Majesty has been doing something strange recently."
Cao Cao quickly stood up, stared at him and asked quickly: "What's the strange movement?"
Zhao Feng on the side also looked thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, you summoned Liu Bei last night and gave him clothes and belts as a gift!"
Cao Cao was already suspicious, and his expression changed slightly after hearing this, thinking about the pros and cons.
At the same time, Zhao Feng immediately remembered the clothing edict in history, and his expression changed instantly.
"Go and arrest Liu Bei quickly. I'm afraid there is a secret edict hidden in this belt. Liu Bei must not be allowed to escape!"
Hearing what Zhao Feng said, Cao Cao quickly came to his senses and said loudly: "Immediately prepare a thousand Qingqi, and quickly go to intercept Liu Bei!"
If it weren't for Tongque's warning, Zhao Feng would have forgotten that Liu Xie, the puppet emperor, had this trick. He didn't expect that he would still have the courage!
At the same time, Liu Bei and others in Xuchang, who were preparing to escape, were here.
Pang Tong also knew that this time there was a lot of misfortune, and if he fled like this, he would definitely be caught up by Cao Cao.
"Lord, if this escape follows the normal route, Cao Cao will definitely catch up with him. After all, Yingchuan is his Cao Cao's territory!"
Although Liu Bei was a little frightened and nervous, he still asked Pang Tong: "What do you mean by the military advisor?"
Liu Bei had no objection at all to running away. After all, running away had become a habit, and the name Liu Bei was not called randomly.
Pang Tong said in a low voice: "The troops are divided into two groups. I will lead the elite to take a shortcut, while the lord and the generals will leave quietly by taking a secluded and uninhabited path."
How could Liu Bei not understand what Pang Tong meant at this moment? He was planning to attract Cao Cao's firepower for him and cover their escape!
"Lord, don't panic, I have a solution!"
In order not to worry Liu Bei, Pang Tong said this.
But in his heart, he couldn't think of any feasible solution. Now that His Majesty's decree on clothes and belts was only in the hands of Liu Bei, he would definitely send people to hunt him down.
How could Cao Cao allow Liu Bei to hold secret edicts and conspire with others?
Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and nodded. After all, he cherished his life very much.
"Okay, military advisor, be sure to take care!"
Liu Bei's team was divided into two, and the large army headed directly to Xuzhou for the shortcut, while there was another inconspicuous carriage carrying Liu Guan, Zhang and others, heading for a long detour.
Just a quarter of an hour later, the door to where Liu Bei was was pushed open.
There was no one inside, and there were some signs of panic. It was obvious that he left in a hurry and had no time to sort out other items.
Countless soldiers looked stunned.
"They just can't get far, chase them quickly!"
As Cao Ren roared, countless people continued to chase outside Xuchang.
"If you walk along the road to Xuchang, you will definitely find their traces!"
At the same time, there were countless pursuers asking passers-by for information.
"Have you ever seen a man with big ears and long arms running away?"
Countless people gave directions.
Cao Ren looked cold and said: "Hurry up and chase them, they are right here!"
Countless Qingqi headed directly towards the path Liu Bei had used to escape.
Countless people around the area expressed curiosity as to what was going on.
"They can't run far with their carriage!"
Cao Ren's eyes were sharp, this big-eared thief was so bold that he actually wanted to do harm to his lord!
"My lord said that if you go all the way eastward, you will definitely be able to find traces of Liu Bei!"
Liu Bei occupies Xuzhou and will inevitably return to Xuzhou. As long as he intercepts him on the only way to Xuzhou, it should be too late.
After mobilizing all his troops to pursue Liu Bei, Cao Cao discussed with Zhao Feng.
"Military advisor, according to your opinion, what secret edict will be contained in that belt?"
Zhao Feng said with a stern smile: "Since Your Majesty deliberately avoided the lord and passed the secret edict to Liu Bei, the lord must hunt them down just because of this action!"
"If my guess is correct, His Majesty's wings should be stiff and he wants to break away from the Lord."
Cao Cao's eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness. Fortunately, he took good care of Liu Xie so well and respected him so much, which gave him the emperor's face.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xie was so ignorant of praise.
Zhao Feng continued: "If my guess is correct, the content of this secret edict should be to attack Cao Cao, that is, your lord."
"What I said is correct, Your Majesty?"
The two of them turned around and looked at Liu Xie, who was sitting tremblingly on the dragon chair. They saw that his face was pale and his body was trembling slightly.
"I I didn't."
"This, this is not what I thought!"
Liu Xie never expected that less than half an hour after he sent out his secret edict, Cao Cao would already come to his door.
What was even more unexpected was that Cao Cao's military advisor in front of him actually said everything he was thinking.
How could the immature Liu Xie withstand such pressure?
His body was trembling and he didn't dare to take a breath.
Cao Cao could tell just from Liu Xie's performance. If not, why would he be so nervous?
He glanced at Liu Xie coldly and said calmly: "Keep an eye on your majesty!"
Since Liu Xie was rude to Cao Cao, Cao Cao could also take back some face, so Liu Xie was immediately placed under house arrest!
At the same time, Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we discovered it in time, so Liu Bei has not yet conspired with other princes. I hope General Zixiao and the others can catch up."
At the same time in Xuchang, Cao Ren and Zhao Yun, who were searching separately, met together, and their clues gradually overlapped.
All the news pointed to Liu Bei's escape route as the best shortcut to Xuzhou.
Zhao Yun said loudly: "Everyone, follow me!"
Thousands of Qingqi chased directly towards the east road of Xuchang. After the two of them walked five miles east, they saw the shadow of the carriage in front of them.
"They are right in front, let me chase them!"
Zhao Yun roared, and the soldiers behind him were a little faster.
However, looking at the team in front, Zhao Yun had doubts. According to the Lord's words, Liu Bei should have at least one of his fierce generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side.
But now there is no one.
But now I didn't think too much and just stepped forward.
The team in front seemed to be aware of the pursuers coming from behind, and one hundred of their attendants immediately left the team, preparing to intercept Zhao Yun and others.
However, Zhao Yun, who wanted to know the truth, and Cao Ren, who was eager to catch up with Liu Bei, did not hesitate at all.
The Qingqi under his command took action one after another, and countless spears chased and killed these one hundred people in an instant!
