Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 124 Taking Out Cao Liu (3)

"Prime Minister! Everything is going according to plan!" Xu Maogong met Li Song in the palace and reported the progress of the plan to him.

At this time, Li Song was wearing armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and the cloak behind him was fluttering in the wind, with one hand on the hilt of the sword, followed by a group of guards in armor holding weapons in their hands.

"There's nothing wrong here!" Li Song looked at the palace in front of him, with his back turned to Xu Mao, and said.

"Nothing went wrong, it's just..." Xu Mao was fair.

"But what?" Li Song looked back at Xu Maogong and said.

"However, Cao Cao still had some doubts at the end. I was worried that he would find out and let him run away!" Xu Mao said fairly.

With Cao Cao's suspicious character, he would definitely find out the problem and then run away. It is unwise to fight in this palace full of Li Song's soldiers, let alone Cao Cao and others. It is undoubtedly courting death to attack the Imperial Forest Army in this palace.

The first thing Cao Cao had to do was to escape from the palace, go out of the city, and return to Cao Jun's camp. This way, the chances of winning would be much higher. Even if he couldn't fight against Li Song's army, it would be no problem to escape from this place of right and wrong.

Li Songdao: "Cao Cao is quick-witted and vigilant, coupled with his suspicious character, it is not surprising. After all, a small eunuch cannot deceive him."

"But there is no need to worry about these! I have ordered the imperial palace and Xuchang city to be under martial law, and no one is allowed to go out! Especially the imperial palace, all the passages leading to the outside of the palace are heavily guarded, only entering and not exiting."

"Even if Cao Cao has three heads and six arms, he still can't get out, so whether he finds out or not, it can't change his ending."

"In this way, Cao Cao is like a turtle in a urn, he can only wait for his death." Xu Mao said fairly.

"Okay! Don't let the emperor and all the officials wait! Let's go to the banquet together. What a great honor for the emperor to give the banquet." Li Song said, and took the lead to walk towards the palace where the banquet was held. Xu Maogong Followed by a group of guards.

Cao Cao broke the neck of the eunuch who led the way, dragged him to a corner, and covered it up. Cao Hong and Cao Ren looked around vigilantly, fearing that they would be discovered by the Imperial Forest Army. After all, they didn't have any weapons in their hands now.

After all, in the palace, except for the imperial guards guarding the palace, they were not allowed to carry weapons without permission, otherwise it would be treason. They really didn't understand why Cao Cao suddenly launched an attack and killed the eunuch who was talking and laughing just now.

Cao Ren handed over the task of vigilance to Cao Hong and the others, turned around and came to Cao Cao and asked, "Brother! Why are you..."

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to interrupt Cao Ren's words, looked around and found that there was no danger, "This place is not suitable for staying for a long time! This is not a place to talk, we have to find a way to get out of the city now, and we will talk about it later!"

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the nearest passage out of the palace. Cao Hong and the others naturally understood the urgency of the matter, so they followed Cao Cao without talking nonsense.

Cao Cao and others discovered that all the passages leading to the outside of the palace were heavily guarded, and it was completely unrealistic to go out through the palace gate, so Cao Cao took them to a sewer ditch.

"Brother! What should we do now? There are heavily armed imperial guards everywhere, and we can't get out of the palace gate. Brother, please make an idea!" Everyone followed Cao Cao to the drain, squatting on the side, Cao Hong said.

"Did you see the drainage hole in front of you?" Cao Cao pointed to the drainage hole in front of him.

"Brother! Are you planning to go out from here?" Cao Chun asked in surprise.

"That's right! Now that the palace is under martial law, it's impossible to go out through the main entrance openly! This is the only plan for the present!"

"The drain in front of us is the only one leading to the outside of the palace. We can't get out of the main gate. Now the imperial army is looking for us everywhere. This is our only way out!" Cao Cao said.

"Brother! Why don't we go directly out of Xuchang City through the drainage channel?" Cao Ren wondered, since we can go out of the palace here, why not go directly out of the city, which is more convenient.

"This drainage ditch leading to the outside of the palace is also a chance for me to hear about this drainage ditch from the person who built the palace. When the palace was built, there was no drainage channel leading to the outside of Xuchang City. " Cao Cao said.

Everyone suddenly realized!At this time, the voice of the imperial forest army came from a distance, "Quick! Search for me! Don't let them escape, the prime minister has an order! You must see people in life, and corpses in death!"

Li Song!Cao Cao and others have never hated someone so much, "Let's go!" Cao Cao went down the drain first, and everyone followed closely behind. The smelly water from the drain came in, and everyone resisted the smell and fled along the drain. out of the palace.

"What happened outside?" In a side hall, Liu Bei, who was waiting for the emperor Liu Xie, heard the movement outside and asked the eunuch who led him here.

"Return to Uncle Emperor! The slaves don't even know!" the eunuch saluted.

"I don't know, you don't know what's going on to see what's going on! Don't you want my eldest brother to go!" Zhang Fei glared at him and shouted, causing the eunuch to fall to the ground in fright.

"Yes, yes!" The eunuch replied, and scrambled out of the side hall to inquire about the situation. After a while, the eunuch came back in a hurry.

"What happened?" Seeing him coming back, Zhang Fei stepped forward and picked him up in his hand and asked.

"Third brother! Don't be rude!" Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei snorted and threw the eunuch on the ground casually.

"Responding to Uncle Liu's words, the Imperial Forest Army is searching for the rebels who broke into the palace with malicious intentions!" The eunuch hurriedly got up from the ground and said to Liu Bei.

"Concubine Dong Gui is here!" Liu Bei frowned, the palace was heavily guarded, how could anyone dare to break into the palace, just when Liu Bei wanted to ask about the situation, there was a voice that was neither male nor female.

Liu Bei and the others looked out of the door, and saw Concubine Dong Gui, supported by an eunuch, followed by dozens of court ladies walking in.

"I have seen the imperial concubine!" Liu Bei and Zhang Fei cupped their hands, and the eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Uncle, don't be too polite!" Concubine Dong Gui said to Liu Bei, "Get up!"

"Uncle Huang, sit down and talk!" Concubine Dong Gui said to Liu Bei.

"Thank you, Concubine Gui!" The three thanked, Concubine Dong and Liu Bei were seated separately, Zhang Fei stood behind Liu Bei, and the eunuch quietly retreated while they were talking and not paying attention, and hurriedly reported the situation here to Li Song!
In the palace where Liu Xie hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials, a group of heavily armed Imperial Forest Army rushed in. Liu Xie and the officials were in a panic, completely unaware of what happened.

"Presumptuous! How dare you trespass into the hall with weapons! Do you want to rebel?" Dong Cheng came out from the crowd and angrily reprimanded Yulin Jun.
