Chapter 1507 Going straight to Yumen Pass
Xu Huang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, I promised to never allow the Roman thief to cross the second pass of Sanxiao."
When the general was most afraid of a boss who was ignorant of his profession, he was a little excited when he received the news of the Roman army's invasion and was ready to take away the word "Personal Governor" before the war and formally corrected it.
After learning that Cao Ang was in charge, the smile on his face frozen on the spot. Who doesn’t know that the entire Wei Dynasty was doing things well. His Royal Highness was thinking about it and said that he would say it. He would not talk about the word "dai" with him. I guess the word "Governor" would have to be removed.
Who knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was so self-aware that he did not interfere in military affairs, but also took the initiative to take responsibility for himself. Such a leader is simply the favorite of his subordinates. It seems that the rumors about His Highness the outside world are wrong. When he returns to Xudu in the future, he will definitely defend his Highness for a few words.
Cao Ang nodded and said, "Okay, you and Shi Yuan are responsible for the matter in Guanzhong for the time being. I am going to go to Zhangye to see the situation in Lusu, prepare my room for a night to rest. I will leave tomorrow morning, Zhao Yun and Cao Zhang will go with me, and the others will stay and obey Governor Xu's command."
Only by bringing the two people with the highest military power can your safety be guaranteed. This is not a fear of death, but a useful person to continue to contribute to society.
"Here."
Xu Huang responded and took him away. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, someone came to report to the envoys of the Western Regions for their visit.
Xu Huang had already learned about the arrival of the Western Region envoy, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He couldn't finish his own family affairs, so who has the time to deal with outsiders?
But now that they have arrived in Chang'an, they have asked to see him, the left governor, when they come, it seems inappropriate. After all, the visitor is a guest.
Xu Huang turned his head and looked at Cao Ang. Cao Ang turned back to the hall and said, "Take them in."
Shortly after the monarch and ministers sat down, more than a dozen Western Region envoys were brought here. After being introduced by someone, they learned that the person sitting in the head was Cao Ang, the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty. The envoys were overjoyed on the spot and knelt down and bowed.
I asked to see the left governor but met the crown prince of the dynasty. This was a real surprise. The countries in the Western Regions were saved.
After the salute, the envoy of Loulan, Maimati, said on behalf of everyone: "The envoy has seen His Highness the Prince of the Great Wei. The countries in the Western Regions were invaded by the Roman army. More than a dozen countries have fallen. The situation is in danger. Please send troops to save the Western Regions?"
Cao Ang asked about the situation of the Roman army, and after he pulled out all the news they mentioned, he said helplessly: "I am very sympathetic to you when you encounter it, but you also know that the Roman army has 20 million, and the Great Wei only 300,000, and half of it has not come on the way. Even if you arrive, you can't beat the stone with an egg to hit the stone. So I can't help you. You should find another way."
What does it mean, no matter?
Maimati was anxious and bowed again: "Your Highness, the countries in the Western Regions have been vassal states of the Han Dynasty since ancient times. In the case of difficulties, the sect leader cannot refuse to save him."
Cao Ang sneered: "What does it have to do with our great Han vassal state? The great Han dynasty has not been destroyed yet. Otherwise, you go to Jianye to ask, and the Han Emperor Liu Bei will definitely be happy to support you."
Maimati: "..." seems to be right. He is now the Great Wei Dynasty, not the Great Han Dynasty.
As for going to Jianye to ask for help from Han Emperor Liu Bei, let’s forget it. The long journey cannot be delayed at all. Maybe the Roman army will attack Yumen Pass before arriving at Jianye, and Liu Bei may not be able to take care of it.
Besides, even if they are willing to lend a helping hand, how can they come over when they enter the Western Regions be blocked by the Great Wei? Will Cao Cao give it up?
The Great Wei was unwilling to control it, and the Great Han couldn't control it. It seemed that the countries in the Western Regions could not escape this disaster.
After figuring out the reason, all the messengers showed despair.
Cao Ang was lazy to take care of their mood, stood up and stretched, yawned and said, "Shi Yuan, I will hand it over to you. They come from afar to entertain their children, but don't make people think that I, the Great Wei, do not understand etiquette."
After saying that, he left the hall with great strides and went to sleep in the room.
Pang Tong shouted "No" to his back, and then smiled and said, "Please, everyone, the Governor's Office has prepared meals. After the meal, we will discuss going to Jianye."
The expressions on the faces of the messengers were even worse than those with hemorrhoids, but they had to get up and leave with Pang Tong.
The next day, Cao Ang got up early and took Zhao Yun, Cao Zhang and Hu San's guard regiment and rode fast horses to Liangzhou.
After passing Sanguan, I saw that the road was full of migrant people. The Jialing River Bridge was blown up and could not be repaired in a short period of time. Dozens of floating bridges were built on the river with wooden boards for the people to pass through.
When he learned that Cao Ang was coming, the officials in charge of the migration hurriedly set a floating bridge for him to go over. After crossing the river, Cao Ang inquired about the migration situation and continued to head west. He rushed for seven days without stopping and finally saw the dusty Lu Su on the border between Zhangye and Wuwei.
As soon as the two sides met, Lu Su complained: "Your Highness, you are here, you are talking about this."
Cao Ang patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, didn't the saint say that God will give a great responsibility to this person, so he must first..." It's okay if he doesn't comfort him, but when he comforted Lu Su, he became more and more depressed, and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to do anything now, I just want to catch Jiang Wan and beat him up. Isn't this bastard good to live in Rome? Why are you going back?"
Cao Ang really couldn't say anything about this, so he had to laugh and said, "It's time to return to his roots, so he can understand it."
After the joke ended, Lu Su's face became solemn and said seriously: "Your Highness, there are too many Roman troops, and it is difficult to deal with the Great Wei alone. The people of Liangzhou have withdrawn and exposed Yangping Pass under the Roman army. This is an external enemy. I think the Chinese people should work together. Should we give Zhang He a copy of the information we have received so that they can prepare early?"
Cao Ang thought, "It should be that there are many secret spies of the embroidery guards lurking in Liangzhou. They must have received the news and sent it back, but their news is not as detailed as us. In this way, you can sort out the information sent by Jiang Wan and the ones you have obtained in the past few days, and find the secret spies of the embroidery guards in the team to send it to Zhang He."
Liangzhou embroidered guards have many secret spies and exposed them. The reason why they were not arrested is to keep them for emergencies. Isn’t this useful?
Lu Su nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, I will prepare immediately."
Cao Ang smiled and said, "I'll leave the migration to you. As for cooperation with Zhang He, you can discuss with Xu Huang and Pang Tong. I'll go to Yumen Pass to see it."
Go to Yumen Pass?
Lu Su's face changed slightly and hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, you can't. The Roman army is too large. If Yumen Pass can't stand it..." Cao Ang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I dare not say anything else. I am sure of escaping. If you are really worried, I will speed up the migration speed. If you end one day earlier, we can retreat one day earlier. By the way, take away everything you can take along the way, and destroy all the things you can't take away, and not even a hair can be left for the Roman army."
Lu Su said solemnly: "I understand, I promise Your Highness that the Roman army will definitely not find a grain of food in Liangzhou."
Cao Ang nodded, continued to set off with the guards, and finally arrived at Yumen Pass for ten days.
The guard general Hao Zhao immediately came out of seclusion to greet him, and ran to Cao Ang and bowed and said, "My minister Hao Zhao has seen Your Highness."
Cao Ang dismounted and helped him up and asked, "Have the Roman army arrived?"
Hao Zhao replied: "I received the news yesterday that I have passed Pulei Country and I guess I will arrive in another seven or eight days."
