Chapter 247: Cao Song's Death

There was no moat, and there was no decent trench, the Chu soldiers rushed to the city wall quickly and unhindered, and then used the simplest siege equipment - bamboo ladders and flying hook ants attached to the city, and the defense measures on the city wall were equally simple, just some poles used to push back the long ladder, and directly use both hands and blades to deal with hooking ropes, and then there are some stones that are not big or small. The fire oil collected by the pen and the pavilion www.biquge.info all over the city is only enough to prevent the Chu army from hitting the city gate, where dare to separate it and use it as a garrison wall.

Both the offensive and defensive sides are not very well prepared, so the next step is to rely on blood and courage to fight.

Rushing to the front and leading the Chu soldiers to attack the city was a general under Zhang Xun, named Zhang Min. That's right, you don't think that this Zhang Min is the one who killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song's family of one hundred and ten people in history, and the one who caused Cao Cao's anger to the sky.

Although Zhang Min is famous for his fictional romance, this little person does exist in history, and what he did in history was not only to kill Cao Song's family.

Zhang Min was the leader of the Yellow Turban Army at the earliest, and after the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he reluctantly surrendered to Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou. In the end, he instructed Zhang Min to kill Cao Song's family who were passing through Xuzhou and use them as outcasts.

It is necessary to explain the meaning of this "instruct" here, and it is also necessary to justify Zhang Min's image in the romance. In historical facts, Cao Cao was not very famous after the incorporation of Qingzhou soldiers, as an old local official, Tao Qian did not have a lot of interest in Cao Cao, who suddenly started as a nouveau riche, and Cao Cao was also very disgusted with Tao Qian's inaction after the dissolution of the Dong Alliance, and the relationship between the two has always been very cold.

This cold relationship reached a level of hostility after Cao Cao occupied the entire territory of Yanzhou, first because Cao Cao supported Yuan Shao, and Tao Qian supported the Gongsun Zan forces that entered Qingzhou at that time, and the two sides began to have a conflict over swords, but they had not yet torn their faces.

It was not until then that Cao Cao pursued and defeated Yuan Shu, the Black Mountain Army, and the Southern Xiongnu coalition army in Kuangting for 600 miles, and Tao Qian's threat to Cao Cao was even more difficult to sleep, so he took the initiative to send troops to Yanzhou and captured Rencheng in the south of Yanzhou.

When the situation between Tao Qian and Cao Cao suddenly heated up, Cao Song, who had taken refuge in Langxie, also smelled the smell of danger, and hurriedly contacted his son while taking his family to Yanzhou with gold and silver, and Cao Cao also hurriedly sent Ying Shao to pick up his biological father.

Tao Qian in real history is not the honest and incompetent person rendered in the romance, he was born in Danyang, but he was named "profligate" since he was a child, and he never knew what benevolence was! When he was in his prime, he and Huangfu Song fought against Beigong Boyu together, and made war exploits in the battle against Han Sui, Bian Zhang and other Xiliang rebels.

To say that this Cao Song is also unlucky enough, his son has just become a prince and he has not come to enjoy the blessings, so he is targeted by Tao Qian. So, Tao Qian sent his subordinate Zhang Min with hundreds of soldiers to intercept Cao Song and his family in the name of escorting Cao Song on the way, but in fact, he instructed Zhang Min to kill Cao Song. And Zhang Min is also an interesting person, knowing that Tao Qian has refused to take him in, it is better to kill Cao Song and take his goods elsewhere.

As for the so-called Tao Qian in the romance in order to curry favor with Cao Cao, he sent Zhang Min to escort Cao Song, and Zhang Min finally became wealthy but Tao Qian was unexpected, in fact, it is not valid at all when you study it carefully. Zhang Min as a Yellow Turban general has never been Tao Qian's descendant, and Tao Qian's subordinates are not without other generals, since it is to curry favor with the Cao family, why send non-cronies to carry out this task?

In fact, after a closer examination, the reason why Tao Qian killed Cao Song was not only the conflict between Tao Qian and Cao Cao over their territory, but the irreconcilable contradictions between Tao Qian and Cao and the bureaucracy he once represented.

Tao Qian was an orthodox Han bureaucrat who could no longer be orthodox, and this is undoubtedly universally acknowledged. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, whether it was the Biansai Rebellion or the Yellow Turban Uprising, or the alliance of the Kwantung princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Tao Qian has actively participated in these things, and even after Dong Zhuo's death, he also took the initiative to unite with the former Yangzhou Assassin Zhou Gan, the Lang Evil State Minister Yin De, the East China Sea State Minister Liu Kui, the Peng Cheng State Minister Ji Lian, the Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong, Taishan Taishou Ying Shao, Runan Taishou Xu Xuan, the former Jiujiang Taishou Fu Qian, Doctor Zheng Xuan, etc., a large number of Han officials took Zhu Jun as the Taishi, moved the Mu Bo, and discussed Li Dao Guo Yan together, ready to welcome the Son of Heaven, It's just that in the end, it didn't work out for various reasons.

Tao Qian is loyal to the Han, and he is the kind of upright and tough Han bureaucrat, this kind of loyal minister has always had a natural enemy called "Shechen traitor". Unfortunately, Cao Song and Cao Cao were classified into this category by Tao Qian.

It is superfluous to talk about Cao Song's life here, which is actually very good to explain why Tao Qian had murderous intentions. People who are familiar with history should know that Cao Cao and his father Cao Song were not originally surnamed Cao but Xiahou, and the reason why Cao Cao was not called Xiahou Cao Cao was because his father Cao Song was the adopted son of Cao Teng, the tenth permanent servant.

Cao Teng is a eunuch, and we don't need to evaluate whether people are good or bad for the time being, we just need to know that he has the same nature as most eunuchs who hold authority - he likes yellow and white things and likes to take his son, and Cao Song has no big ability, but he is rich and can pat on the back, which can be said to be Cao Teng's appetite, so he naturally became Cao Teng's adopted son and got his protection. And Cao Song himself and Cao Cao himself don't have much disgust with this, because although Cao Teng is a eunuch, he is still the famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty After Cao Shen, where will the descendants of Cao Shen be embarrassed?

The difference arises here, Tao Qian is a serious minister of the Han Dynasty, while Cao is a eunuch, how can they look at each other?
