The history of horse-drawn carriages is very long, and some historical and cultural relics also show that as early as the late Shang Dynasty, there were two-wheeled carriages. At the beginning, horse-drawn carriages were mostly used in wars. The "country of rides" and "country of ten thousand rides" actually refer to the number of chariots in a country, from which the comprehensive national strength of the country can be obtained. Obviously, horse-drawn chariots are a very important combat resource.

However, in the Han Dynasty, especially from the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, cavalry appeared in large numbers in the battle against the Huns and began to occupy the mainstream. The cost of a carriage is not cheap, and the styles of carriages are becoming more and more diverse. From the initial "open-air convertible" to gradually replaced by carriages, this is also related to the privacy of the powerful.

And now the carriage that appeared in the eyes of Cao Cao and passers-by, not to mention the strong men guarding it, is the carriage itself. Look at the spirit of the horse pulling the carriage, and the half-closed, only a curtain in front. The gorgeous decoration on the exterior of the covered carriage also shows the extraordinaryness of its owner.

However, the speed of the carriage team was very slow, as if they were traveling all the way, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people:

"Who is this person so arrogant?"

"Shh, if you dare to be so arrogant, you must have a lot of power. Now Luoyang is in chaos, there are everyone, and Dong Zhuo is still in power. We'd better be careful and don't talk nonsense..."

"It's true, be careful, there is no big mistake, talk less and talk less..."

……

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was hiding on the edge of a residential wall next to the city gate and leading a big maroon horse, watched the car approaching gradually, the target was obviously heading towards the city gate, and it was only seen from the outside. The decoration is very luxurious, the owner should have a well-known carriage, and the surrounding guards are full of arrogance and domineering. Their eyes are twinkling, but they are still struggling to make up their minds.

In the backyard of the Xiangguo Mansion, Cao Cao stabbed the horse's buttock to stimulate the horse's speed to increase sharply at a critical juncture. After passing through the back door, Cao Cao was like a wolf entering the plain as soon as he came out, and the rest was to run as he wanted.

But what he didn't expect was that from Dong Zhuo's assassination to the release of the order to hunt him down, to the fact that Luoyang's imperial guards and city gate garrison began to patrol, search, and lock the city, it can be said that all kinds of methods were used. The efficiency is so high, but when he rode a fast horse all the way without any danger and finally arrived at the east gate of his destination and was about to leave the city as soon as possible, the captain of the city gate had already received the order "only entry and no exit", and immediately The gates of the city were half-closed at the beginning, so that his plan to take the opportunity to leave the city quickly fell through.

Now, it is difficult to get out of the city, but Cao Cao knows that staying in the city will only be more dangerous.

Seeing this carriage, Cao Cao was inspired. At that moment just now, he had many ideas in his mind, but no matter how many and beautiful his thoughts were, it was another matter to implement them. In particular, there were two reasons Let Cao Cao decide on his own.

The first point is naturally that he cannot be sure that the owner of this carriage will be able to pass through this city gate. After all, Dong Zhuo is now in control of Luoyang City, and the strength of these troops is naturally dominated by Dong Zhuo. Now that Dong Zhuo is assassinated, they block the city gate It must be that the murderer was ordered not to be let go, so it is difficult to fish in troubled waters, and the owner of this carriage does not know who it is. Judging by the appearance of his servants, he is arrogant, and the car is luxurious enough and big enough. But it is not impossible if it is a silver gun with a wax head, and all the effort will be in vain; the second point is more important, that is, it is too dangerous to do so. Although it is a gamble, if If he really went, he would put his foot directly on the edge of the cliff. If he succeeded, if he was found out, his life would be in danger immediately. Breaking through the barriers of the guards at the back gate of Xiangguo Mansion, he can also deal with these well-equipped soldiers guarding the city gate.

But these hesitations were only for a moment. If Cao Cao didn't dare to take risks, then he wouldn't be called Cao Cao, so it didn't take long for these thoughts to flash in his mind, and he had already made up his mind to try it anyway.

While he was thinking, the slow-moving carriage approached again. Before Cao Cao had time to think about it, he immediately put his thoughts into action——

First of all, he picked up a hand-sized stone on the side of the road under his feet, stared at a place directly in front of him, took a deep breath, and then threw the stone with one hand. After a while, the stone stopped in the middle of the road , and Cao Cao's heart almost went to his throat, because the next thing is beyond his control, and he still needs a little luck.

It may be that Cao Cao was lucky this time. The stone stopped at the right position. When the luxurious carriage came, one of the wheels passed by on the straight line blocked by the stone. As expected, the carriage drove slowly. He came over, but stopped suddenly. Naturally, it was because the wheel on the other side was stuck by that rock, and there were only two horses pulling the carriage. They walked slowly all the time, probably did not expect to encounter obstacles suddenly, so they stopped for a while. They didn't move forward there anymore. Even at the beginning, because only half of the wheels were stuck by rocks, the other half of the wheels were still sliding on the ground. The balance of the carriage was broken, and most of the carriages swung towards Cao Cao's direction. It happened that the back of the carriage was facing Cao Cao's side.

Then there was an angry curse from inside the carriage: "What the hell is going on? Oops... It hurts me to death!"

As soon as he heard this voice, he seemed to be able to imagine the weak bones of his master, and his plan was a half-successful so far. Cao Cao couldn't help but feel happy, and felt that this was beneficial to him. He and some pedestrians around focused their attention on the front of the carriage, but he led the horse and ran to the back of the carriage, found a handrail to tie the horse's rein to it, and then finally saw the structure of the carriage clearly, and his heart was even more happy. It's just because the carriage is open from front to back, that is to say, apart from a curtain separating the front, there is also a door behind the carriage.

Of course the door was closed, and it was locked tightly. No wonder I didn't see the door just now at first glance.

After Cao Cao lamented his luck, he naturally drew out the seven-star sword without hesitation, and gradually inserted it into the thin door crack in the middle, then twisted forcefully, the blade turned, and the door was swung open.

Cao Cao turned over and rushed into the inside with a kite. In an instant, he could see clearly that there was a figure inside. He didn't care to see who the other party was, and while quickly closing the car door behind him with one hand, he stabbed the Seven Star Sword in there. He snorted softly: "Stay there honestly, don't scream or move, or be careful, I will kill you soon..."
