Chapter 2: Escape overnight
"Tell me to go down, from today onwards, whenever Liu Ping comes to see the old man, he is not allowed to stop him, do you hear?"
Cao Song stroked his beard and looked at it.
Fat Butler: "......"
He could barely believe his ears, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't speak.
What's wrong with the head of the family, he was fooled by such a little guy as Liu Ping?
Cao Song glanced at him and continued: "Make two portions of the old man's meal, and send one to Liu Ping, there must be no mistake, let's go." ”
The fat butler was stunned, and instantly turned into a wooden man.
My obedient eats the same meal as the master, who among all the subordinates has ever been treated like this?
He couldn't enjoy it as a housekeeper.
What kind of shit luck did this Liu Ping take?
Anyway, he realized that his punch was probably in vain.
……
When it was completely dark, Liu Ping came to Cao Song's tent in the middle.
The two young family members at the door were keeping vigil, and when they saw Liu Ping coming, they nodded hurriedly and said, "Master Liu, you are here, the master has already asked you twice." ”
Liu Ping smiled slightly and entered the tent, where Cao Song was walking around rubbing his hands with restlessness written on his face.
In order to keep it secret, he even threw out the maid.
"When are we leaving?" Cao Song whispered.
"Naturally, the sooner the better."
Liu Ping didn't want to delay for a moment, blew out the oil lamp, and the two got out of the tent.
There is a crescent moon in the sky, and the stars are shining, so the surroundings are not too dark, and after a little habitation, you can see the road under your feet.
"Master, who are you?" The family at the door was puzzled.
"I'll accompany the master to go out of Gong, no matter who comes, you all say that the master has fallen asleep and can't let anyone in, remember?" Liu Ping gave orders on behalf of Cao Song.
The two family members looked at Cao Song's expressionless face, and nodded like a busy chicken pecking rice: "Remember, remember." ”
The two of them were envious in their hearts, how could this Liu Ping suddenly become a big celebrity next to the master like a different person.
Liu Ping supported Cao Song, and the two of them walked up the hillside with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but fortunately, the Xuzhou soldiers were not defended on both sides.
When I walked out of Erlidi, the mountain was already very high.
Cao Song glanced back at the valley camp, and could only see the bonfires lit by the sergeants on both sides, and the twenty carts pulling the baggage in the middle were no longer clear.
That's his life savings.
When his son Chen Liuliu raised the army, he took out half of his savings to fund it, and now he has the other half on his cart, which is all his family wealth, will it really be robbed?
I hope Liu Ping's words are alarmist, he has to comfort himself so much.
When Liu Ping and Cao Song climbed to the top of this small hill, they found that there was a small pine forest here.
After all, Cao Song was old and couldn't climb anymore, so he bent over and panted and said, "Liu Ping, it's better to be here." ”
Liu Ping looked around, this place has a wide field of vision, looking down on the entire valley, and there is a large open area to escape behind, and there is a small pine forest as a cover.
It's a great place to hide.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, the head of the family will rest early and watch the night for the head of the house." ”
Cao Song shook his head and said, "That's it, the old man can't sleep on the left and right, you can sleep first." ”
The two escaped and hid overnight, faintly feeling that they were in trouble together, and the gap between their identities was filled a lot.
Liu Ping knew that he was still worried about those properties, and he was not polite to him, lying on a stone with a lot of thoughts.
I don't know if the historical records are accurate, or if the Xuzhou soldiers didn't do it tonight, then the sin of this night was not in vain?
If Cao Song was allowed to freeze all night tonight, would he still believe in himself tomorrow?
But this place is already the boundary of Yanzhou, and it will be too late if you don't do it.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep......
When he was sleeping, he was woken up by the jingle bell next to him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Cao Song was throwing three copper coins on the stone for divination.
"The old man has been dividing three times, all of them are signs from above, maybe our villain's heart is a gentleman's belly, and we misunderstand this Xuzhou army."
Cao Song saw that Liu Ping was awake, so he put away the copper coin and laughed to himself.
At this time, it was already midnight, and the wind on the top of the mountain was already very cold, so Liu Ping wrapped his clothes vigorously.
Before Cao Song could finish speaking, all of a sudden, the valley was on fire, and all the tents were on fire.
In the light of the fire, the sergeants from the north and south attacked the center at the same time, and the sergeants were armed with spears and slaughtered.
Liu Ping could faintly hear the Cao family's subordinates crying for help.
Cao Song glanced at Liu Ping with wide eyes, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and the Xuzhou army really made a move.
Fortunately, after listening to Liu Ping's words, he hid out in advance, otherwise he would have been the same as his family over there at this time, and he would have died of old age.
"Liu Ping, you saved the old man's life this time, if the old man can reach Yanzhou alive, I will let my son reward you heavily." Cao Song said gratefully.
Then he sighed deeply: "I just don't know if I can live until that time." ”
"Thank you family master," Liu Ping smiled, thinking that you don't know yet, your son has personally led troops to save it.
Now, as long as you hide, you can definitely survive until then.
"Family master, we still need to hide away to be safe, if they can't find you, they may search the mountain."
Although there are only two hundred people on the other side, it is unlikely that they will be searched by the other party in this dark and reckless mountain, but Liu Ping doesn't want to joke with his own life.
Cao Song already trusted him extremely at this time, and he could be said to be obedient.
The two men went in the opposite direction of the camping valley, descended to the base of the mountain and climbed another mountain.
It is estimated that he has left the camp for more than ten miles.
In the end, I found a cave that was only a foot deep, and I could accommodate myself for the time being.
……
In the camp, the battle was over in just a few teas.
The corpses of the Cao family were all over the field, and blood flowed down the cracks in the stones.
These people were all ordinary servants, and they were suddenly attacked by the sergeants, and they died before they could react.
"Captain Yudu, there are two missing corpses in the inventory, and Cao Song has not been found." A low-ranking military attache bowed his head to Lieutenant Zhang Min.
"Cao Song actually escaped, could it be that someone leaked the news? It shouldn't be. Zhang Min was puzzled.
As soon as he left Xuzhou City, he set his sights on Cao Song's family wealth, for him as a little lieutenant, he had never seen so much wealth in his life.
Robbing this ticket is enough for a lifetime of glory and wealth.
But no one has ever told him about this, how could Cao Song know?
It must have been an accident, maybe it happened to be out of Gong.
Zhang Min pondered for a moment and said: "Within a radius of ten miles, quickly launch a search, not an inch is allowed to be spared, if you meet Cao Song and the others, kill them immediately." ”
"No!" All the soldiers immediately divided into several squads, scattered with spears, and began to search the mountain.
It's just that there are only 200 of them after all, and it's not so easy to search the mountains within a radius of ten miles at night.
After two hours, the sky was already dark, and all the mountain search teams returned, naturally finding nothing.
"Gather these corpses, light a fire, and withdraw." Zhang Min reluctantly gave the order to destroy the corpse.
……
After a while, the sky was already bright, and hundreds of black-armored cavalry in the valley swept in like a cloud of ink.
Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, who was nearly forty years old, was riding on his black war horse at this time, and he was anxious.
Four years ago, with the support of his father, Chen Liu raised troops, initiated the righteous division, and united more than a dozen princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Although the battle did not go well, he showed his face in front of the heroes of the world and made enough political capital, so that he can lead the history of Yanzhou today.
In order to thank his father for his great kindness, he sent an envoy to pick up the old man to Yanzhou to enjoy the joy of family.
According to the estimation of time, it is long overdue.
But he didn't come to the left and didn't come to the right, he knew that the road was not peaceful now, so he couldn't sit still and personally led his troops to meet him.
"Envoy, look ahead." A cavalry colonel pointed to the pile of charred corpses.
The pile of corpses had been burned beyond recognition and was still smoking.
"Let's see if there is anything that can confirm the identity," Cao Cao sat on the horse, his heart was beating hard, and he felt a faint chill.
A small colonel jumped off his horse and flicked the corpse with his spear, revealing a jade pendant underneath.
The little school hurriedly sent the jade pendant to Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao saw that the word "Cao Tai" was clearly visible on the jade pendant, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his head was dizzy, and he got off the horse.
It turned out that Mrs. Cao was the chief housekeeper of Cao's Mansion, and when Cao Cao saw this jade pendant, he immediately realized that this pile of corpses was his family.
And his father is also inside, and he has long become a pile of coke......
