Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

As dusk approached, Ji Ping said goodbye and left after comforting the emperor.

After all, he came to the palace only to see the emperor for a follow-up visit. If he stayed in the palace for too long, it would probably arouse the suspicion of Cao Xiu, who was guarding the palace.

After Ji Ping left, the young emperor Liu Xie sat in the hall with dull eyes and a complicated expression. I don’t know what he was thinking about...

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, the city of Xudu was still as peaceful as ever.

It was as if nothing had happened during this period of time and nothing would happen in the future.

But in the dark, the undercurrent had already surged!

During three days, in the mountains outside the city of Xudu, some figures appeared in those places that were usually sparsely populated.

These figures, in various identities, gradually gathered in the mountains and fields through all directions. They were all the warriors trained by the noble families for many years.

Of course, the number of private soldiers and warriors of the noble families was so large that the mountains and fields outside Xudu City alone could not accommodate them all.

After all, so many people appearing in the mountains and fields would always attract attention.

So, in addition to those who hid in the mountains and trees.

There are also some manors outside Xudu City. Those manors are all high-walled and have their own courtyards, just like a small fortress, which is the characteristic of this era, the fortress.

The owners of these fortresses are some high-ranking officials and noble families in Xudu City.

The noble families have countless industries in the local area. Outside Xudu City, they also bought land industries and manors for them to live in when they go out of the city for a walk during their holidays.

At this time, more people gathered in these fortresses that were usually used for leisure.

Some of them came from outside during the past three days.

There were also many who hid here a month in advance.

There were even some who were guarded by ministers and powerful families in order to deal with the chaos when the court moved the capital to Xudu a few years ago.

There are so many noble families in the world. There are dozens or even hundreds of families who are famous and can be ranked in the court!

If one of these noble families dispatches dozens of private soldiers, it will be thousands of troops.

If one family dispatches one or two hundred, it will be tens of thousands of troops!

According to their various investigations, the court troops and Cao's private soldiers in Xudu City are less than 3,000 at this time.

Among them, there are 1,000 who obey Cao Xiu's orders and guard the palace.

That is to say, including those guarding the city and patrolling the city, there are only two thousand soldiers who can obey Cao's orders and can be mobilized in a short time.

This number is not false, but was finally determined by the agents of the noble families after many investigations.

Because Cao Ang almost sent all the troops he had built to sweep across the princes to all parts of the world,To quell the rebellion of those noble families.

So the city of Xudu was very empty.

There were no sentries outside the city of Xudu.

This is why the noble families were able to deploy troops outside the city of Xudu without being discovered!

And these noble families did not miss this opportunity. For today, they deployed 20,000 private soldiers outside the city of Xudu!

Because Cao Ang wanted to cut off the foundation of the noble families, the noble families in the world had long been mortal enemies with the Cao family.

In order to eliminate Cao Ang and Cao Cao, the father and son, it can be said that no effort was spared!

Some top noble families even sent thousands of private soldiers.

And some ordinary noble families also sent at least a hundred people.

What a huge force this is?

Even the agents of these noble families are not clear!

They only knew that this force hidden outside the city of Xudu had the same combat power as the most elite cavalry under Cao Ang.

If it exploded, it could overturn the entire city of Xudu! All.
