Under a dark, cold, and fishy thatched hut, Cao Song, Zou and Zhao Ji were hugging each other, their faces full of sadness, but they were biting their lips tightly, afraid that they would cry out because of their sadness.
"Let's hurry up and chase after each other, kill people when we see them, and don't care about anything else!"
"Yes!"
When such a conversation was heard overhead, there was a rush of "stampede" footsteps, and the surroundings returned to calm.
Under the gloomy thatched house, the corner of Cao Song's mouth showed a smile that seemed to have succeeded in his scheme, but it was fleeting, and then he returned to a sad expression. If it weren't for Cao Song's really smile just now, perhaps, it would still make people feel that this was an illusion.
That's right, Cao Song, Zou and Zhao Ji were hiding under the thatched house.
And this strategy is the strategy that Cao Song and the four of them have thought hard about. And now, this strategy seems to have successfully deceived Zhang Min's subordinates, as long as they wait a little longer, Cao Song and the three of them can escape this catastrophe.
At the beginning, Cao Song also thought about really escaping, instead of hiding under this unbearable thatched hut. However, the three of them fled with their feet, and many of Zhang Min's men and horses were on horseback, so if the other party wanted to chase after them, how could Cao Song and them escape? Therefore, after careful consideration, Cao Song decided to use one person as bait to lure Zhang Min's subordinates. thought that Cao Song and they had escaped, but they didn't know that Cao Song and they had been hiding under the thatched house.
The implementation of the strategy began with Cao Song and the others coming to the thatched house one after another. In fact, it is not a very clever strategy.
Cao Song, Zou and Zhao Ji came to the thatched house separately, and as early as before, Cao Song and they secretly bought drugs that can cause diarrhea. Tonight, when Cao Song's plan began to be implemented, the three of them took the medicine, and then caused them to have diarrhea. And in order to make this situation more realistic, Cao Song and the three of them waited until the excrement exploded once. poured into his clothes and pants before running to the thatched house to excrete. So it is, because of the stench that emanates from them. The guards would then move away from them, allowing them to stay out of the line of sight of Zhang Min's guards. When all three of them arrived, they endured the stench of the hut and hid under it. Take antidiarrheal medications. Quietly hiding under the thatched hut. At this time, Cao De was the last to appear, standing openly under the wall not far from the thatched house, and when Zhang Min's guards appeared, he put on a picture of the fact that Cao Song and the three escaped with his help.
If the four of them were hiding under the thatched house, then Zhang Min's guards might go to search the thatched house, and Cao Song and the four would naturally have nowhere to hide. But. Cao Song's bait plan is to give people a false impression, Cao Song and Cao De's help. had already escaped on the spot, and Cao De couldn't leave because there was no one to help. Coupled with Cao De's perfect performance, Zhang Min's guards thought that Cao Song and they had really escaped, and in a fit of rage, they killed Cao De and did not search the thatched house again. One reason is that he was deceived by Cao De's performance, and the other reason is that the thatched house is too filthy. How could Cao Song, a figure of such status, hide below? For this reason, Zhang Min's guards did not search the thatched house, so that Cao Song and the others escaped safely.
said that Cao Song showed that smug smile, although it disappeared quickly, Cao Song also thought that he was perfect, but he didn't know that Zou and Zhao Ji regarded Cao Song as their backbone, and in such a situation, they naturally focused their attention on Cao Song. Therefore, when Cao Song showed that smile, both of them saw it in their eyes.
So, why did Cao Song show such a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme? Could it be that he was so proud because his plan had deceived Zhang Min's subordinates? Of course, in fact, this was not the case.
The reason why Cao Song was proud was because he thought that he had deceived Cao De, so he showed such a smile.
That's right, Cao Song is deceiving Cao De. From beginning to end, Cao Song never thought of being a bait to get a chance for others to survive. Cao Song is a selfish person, he can't send them to death for Cao De, even if these people are his sons, wives and concubines, it's impossible. From the very beginning, Cao Song was thinking about this matter, he knew the character of his second son, so he deliberately put on a posture of wanting to be a bait to save the lives of others, Cao Song understood that at this time Cao De would definitely stand up to show his filial piety. And Cao De did not disappoint Cao Song, and did so. So, Cao Song pushed the boat down the river and left this opportunity to die to Cao De. In Cao Song's view, he has only one life, but he has more than one son, even if they are all dead, as long as he is still alive, can't he be reborn? Besides, Cao Song's other son Cao Cao is now serving as a assassin in Yanzhou, which is already majestic enough, and it is time for him Cao Song to enjoy happiness.
I have to say that Cao Song's emotional hand is played very beautifully, and it seems that people can't find the slightest flaw.
As Cao Song's wife, Zou knows her husband's character very well. When he saw Cao Song's weird smile, Zou already understood what Cao Song meant. However, as Cao Song's wife, can Zou accuse Cao Song of being wrong?
Zhao Ji was also stunned, although she was not Cao Song's wife, she was also Cao Song's favorite concubine, just in the blink of an eye, Zhao Ji also understood the meaning of Cao Song's smile, and a sad look flashed in her eyes. She and Cao Song's son were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to keep them alive, but in the end, Cao Song was just taking advantage of Cao De's feelings, and there was no regret at all.
Zou and Zhao Ji understood the meaning of Cao Song's smile, but they didn't say anything, just silently hugged Cao Song, and the whole scene seemed to be a little quiet and weird.
However, outside the thatched house, there was a fire in the sky, and at the same time, the sound of killing shook the sky!
"Ahh
"Spare your life, don't kill me!"
When the fire in this mansion burned, Zhang Min understood that Cao Song, the old thief, had already seen his intentions. Present. Zhang Min no longer hesitated, and decisively ordered his men to kill all Cao Song's guards, leaving no one behind. Zhang Min's more than 5,000 men and horses were all regular soldiers. It was not much difficult to deal with Cao Song's nearly 1,000 ordinary guards. In less than a quarter of an hour, Cao Song's nearly a thousand guards have all become dead souls under the knife.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Damn, hack those bitch guys to death with one knife, I really don't understand the hatred!"
solved Cao Song's guards, and Zhang Min immediately asked people to put out the fire. But he said that everyone had been killed, and this fire could not just help Zhang Min eliminate the evidence? Why put out fires. Of course, the reason why Zhang Min wanted to put out the fire was because he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Cao Song and the others were dead. If Cao Song and the others were still alive, his Zhang Min would be unable to save his life. Therefore, he must determine the life and death of the main master, Cao Song.
"Lord Qiqi, Cao Song and his wife and concubine have fled. Do you want to send someone to chase after you?"
Zhang Min gave the order to inspect the scene. The eight guards Cao Song and four others appeared in front of Zhang Min and told the news that Cao Song and his wife and concubine had escaped.
"Bastard, what are you doing?"
When Zhang Min heard this, he immediately roared angrily. The eight men he sent were usually extremely clever and shrewd, which was why he entrusted such an important task to the eight of them. Moreover, Zhang Min also emphasized again and again that Cao Song must be watched, and Cao Song must not be allowed to get out of their sight. But. In the end, there was no problem with the others, but it was the eight subordinates he trusted the most who had problems.
"What the hell is going on. Tell Captain Pontus about it. Otherwise, not only will Captain Bendu have a hard time, but your lives will not be saved. ”
The eight guards were all frightened, and one of them hurriedly told the story of the incident.
"Bastard, since you know that people have run away, and you don't chase after them, just your fucking fire, what's the use of raising you idiots? What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and give Captain Pontus..."
Zhang Min angrily reprimanded the eight people, and was about to order the eight people to chase after him, but suddenly stopped talking.
It turned out that Zhang Min suddenly thought that Cao Song and his wife and concubine were all old people, and if they really wanted to escape, how could they outrun the war horse? Therefore, Zhang Min doubted whether it was Cao Song's trick. However, whether it is a trick or not, we have to catch up, as the so-called reality is false, and fiction is real, and no one knows what is going on until things are clear.
"Each of the four of you will lead a hundred men to chase in four directions, centered on this place. If you see the target person, kill them on the spot, and don't leave them alive. Zhang Min pointed at four of them with a calm face, then looked at the other four and ordered: "The four of you take Captain Bendu to the scene to have a look." ”
After Zhang Min gave the order, the eight of them hurriedly took action, lest they would be one step slower and provoke Zhang Min to be angry, and they would be cut down by Zhang Min on the spot.
The four guards took Zhang Min to the place where Cao Song escaped, and Cao De's body was still lying quietly on the ground, telling about the tragedy that had happened here.
"Fuck it!"
Zhang Min kicked Cao De's corpse a few times, and cursed indignantly. Subsequently, Zhang Min carefully glanced at the scene, and also carefully looked at the position of the red embroidered shoe. Judging from the situation in front of them, Cao Song and his wife and concubine seem to have really escaped over the wall. However, Zhang Min did not give up easily, his eyes continued to scan, and then he froze on the thatched house. However, after staring for a moment, Zhang Min looked away. In such a filthy place as a thatched house, even Zhang Min would not have the idea of hiding in it, let alone Cao Song? Cao Song used to be a lieutenant, if he hid in such a place, he would be known in the future, and Cao Song probably would not have the face to live on his own.
It's just that Zhang Min doesn't understand that at the critical moment of life and death, some things, such as family affection, can be given up, let alone a little face?
"Old Cao Song, Captain Bendu knows that you are still hiding here, don't hide, hurry out and die, Captain Bendu will give you a good time. If you let Captain Pontus find it himself, you will be able to survive and die!"
Zhang Min shouted loudly into the air, but there was no response. Cao Song, who has also been a captain and has experienced strong winds and waves, how could he be deceived by Zhang Min's words? Besides, if he continues to hide and have a chance to escape, he can still save his life. As long as you are smart, you will know what choice to make.
"Did you really run away?"
Zhang Min waited for a stick of incense. But there was no response at all, and he asked a rhetorical question to himself. Even so, though. Zhang Min didn't want to give up easily.
"Come on, search for Captain Pontus, dig three feet into the ground and search for people for me. Captain Bendu didn't believe it, Cao Song could still grow wings and fly. If you let Captain Pontus find it, you will have a good fruit to eat, hum!"
Under Zhang Min's order, hundreds of guards searched the vicinity in a hurry. And. It was surprising that no one went to the hut to search. Actually, just look down in the thatched house. You can see Cao Song and the three of them. However, perhaps with the same thoughts as Zhang Min, no one thought that Cao Song would hide in such a filthy place. Therefore, the men and horses under Zhang Min's command searched around here for half an hour. It's really digging into the ground. But he didn't see Cao Song at all.
When he heard the news of the report from his subordinates, Zhang Min frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Did you really run away? However, Cao Song would be so stupid to think that his foot strength can outrun the war horse?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Min set his eyes on the thatched house again, but quickly looked away. A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and he secretly sighed that he was really suspicious. Will a character like Cao Song hide here?
"It seems that Cao Song Lao'er is really not here anymore, and he can't continue to waste time. Cao Song already knows my intentions, and if he is allowed to go to Yanzhou to join Cao Cao, even if Tao Qian is the mastermind behind the scenes, Cao Cao will definitely not let me go. In any case, Cao Song must be left with his life. ”
Zhang Min muttered to himself, and then summoned four centurions, and asked them to lead their men and horses to search in four directions again, and to expand the search area, not a single point should be missed.
However, it was said that the three Cao Song under the thatched house were frightened when Zhang Min ordered the search, for fear that Zhang Min's men would search for them. When the time comes, maybe just as Zhang Min said, he will treat them cruelly. Fortunately, the men and horses under Zhang Min's command unanimously gave up the search for the thatched house, which made Cao Song feel much more at ease. When he heard Zhang Min's words of preparing to evacuate, a smug smile appeared on Cao Song's face again, this time, Cao Song's smile was not concealed in the slightest, what impact could the death of a son have on him Cao Song? No impact, no impact at all. When he arrives at Cao Cao's territory in Yanzhou, he can still take another concubine, and when the time comes, won't he have a son again?
Cao Song didn't know that when he was proud, his concubine Zhao Ji looked at Cao Song's eyes, but they were full of hatred. If it was the first time Cao Song showed such an expression, all Zhao Ji had in her heart was sadness, and it was not worth it for her son Cao De. However, when she saw Cao Song's reaction again, and it was such an undisguised expression, Zhao Ji's eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Cao Song. Zhao Ji hated Cao Song for using his son, hated Cao Song for being so ruthless and unjust, and hated herself even more for being powerless to save her son's life. When this thought arose, the thought of revenge came to her heart, making Zhao Ji secretly think about avenging her son.
Pandora's box is full of all kinds of calamities, but it still attracts waves of people who want to open it. And at this time, Zhao Ji is the same, an idea of avenging her son has slowly grown from the initial seed into a sapling, and it is still growing more and more!
After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Zhao Ji's face flashed with a resolute meaning, as if a certain decision had been made.
"Retreat!"
"Tap, tap, tap..."
As Zhang Min's order to retreat was given, a sound of neat footsteps sounded, and Zhang Min seemed to be ready to leave. And at this moment, a voice with resentment sounded.
"Hahaha, we're here, come and get us!"
The resentment in the voice can simply rush into the sky, making the seeers cry and the hearers sad, but they don't know how much hatred the owner of the voice carries to show such a strong resentment.
Don't think about it, naturally only Zhao Ji is the one who made this sound.
When Zhao Ji's voice was heard, everyone in the audience was stunned! No, there were two other people whose expressions did not change. One is Zhao Ji, the owner of the voice, and the other is Zou. Zou looked at Zhao Ji's eyes, without the slightest anger, but full of sympathy, and a touch of sadness, and I don't know what Zou is sad about.
Of course, Zou can understand Zhao Ji's behavior, and his son was used by his father and lost his life. If it was replaced by his own son Cao Cao, I am afraid that the Zou family would have gone crazy a long time ago, how could he wait for all this time.
Cao Song was also stunned. However, he quickly reacted and knew that they had been exposed and were about to face the choice of death.
"Smack!"
"Slut, what are you doing!"
The first sound was naturally the sound produced by the angry Cao Song slapping Zhao Ji. Originally, Zhang Min had already given up the search and was leaving. That's it. Cao Song's little life can be saved. However, at this last moment, Zhao Ji suddenly made such a move. Making such a loud noise, unless Zhang Min and his subordinates are deaf, it is inevitable to know that Cao Song and they are still hiding here.
Zhang Min was also shocked by this sudden sound. Because he found. There are really people hiding under the thatched house. At the same time, Zhang Min was also very puzzled, which play was this play? He was about to leave, but the other party suddenly made a voice to attract him, could it be that Cao Song and the others still had a conspiracy? However, looking at the palm-sized place of the thatched house, it is really unimaginable to make an ambush.
"Haha. Sir, are you asking what the concubine is doing? Master, the concubine wants to ask you. Why do you want to take advantage of De'er's feelings and harm De'er's life in vain?"
Zhao Ji glared at Cao Song with resentment.
In this day and age, the appearance of a man is undoubtedly a great merit. Don't talk about ordinary people and big families, just talk about the performance in the palace, which is very in line with this reason.
was originally just an inferior status of a palace maid, but if she was inadvertently fortunate by the emperor and gave birth to a prince, her status would immediately change dramatically. It's not much of a problem to give a beauty or a concubine. Usually, there is only one queen of the emperor, and there are three or four concubines, and the difference is not big. Moreover, the candidates for queens and concubines are usually women from those big families. In addition, the highest status level is the concubine. and gave birth to a prince, from a palace maid who served people to a concubine, which can be described as a leaping dragon. is similar to the royal family's approach, Zhao Ji is just Cao Song's concubine, even if she is deeply loved by Cao Song, she can't change Zhao Ji's identity. Therefore, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son, and it is really a great joy to be able to add Ding to the Cao family, and Zhao Ji can also be a mother with a son, and she has a settlement in the second half of her life. However, all the original good wishes were all gone because of Cao Song's schemes. Therefore, when she saw Cao Song's unkindness twice, Zhao Ji was completely angry, and she didn't care about her goal being exposed, and she wanted Cao Song to get the punishment she deserved.
"How could the old man have ever harmed De'er? De'er is my blood and your blood, the old man can't protect him, how can it harm his life?"
Cao Song's words were so indignant that he seemed to have been treated unfairly.
"Haha, sir, you are really still so selfish, and you have never thought about others. If that's what you think, how can a concubine be like that?"
Cao Song stared at Zhao Ji deadly, as if he wanted to remember Zhao Ji forever and remember this woman who had betrayed him.
"Hahaha, yes, you're not wrong at all. The old man has always been taking advantage of De'er's feelings, and the old man has never thought of being a bait to let him live. The old man raised him so big, let him learn literature, and become a talent. Now the old man needs to use him, and he sacrifices his life for the old man, what's wrong with the old man?
Cao Song's words seem to be a matter of course for him to take advantage of Cao De's filial piety. Hearing this, the sadness on Zhao Ji's face became even stronger, and it seemed a little hard to believe that such words would come from Cao Song's mouth.
After being surprised for a long time, he heard Zhao Ji respond: "Master, don't you think that De'er is really just a scholar who is stupid in reading?" In fact, he has already guessed the master's intentions, but he did not resent or object, but silently agreed to this matter, which can be regarded as repaying the master's nurturing grace. When I heard what De'er said to the concubine, the concubine still didn't believe it, and felt that De'er was talking nonsense. However, the concubine now knows that the person who is really right is Cao De. ”
"What? You said De'er already knew?"
When Zhao Ji said this, Cao Song was stunned and looked at Zhao Ji in disbelief.
