Cao Chun's words talked about Cao Cao's psychology, and according to Lao Cao's thoughts, this matter is estimated to be eight or nine.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.

His voice trembled slightly, and he shouted to the people outside the door: "Bring Bao Zhong and Bao Tao and the two of them in." ”

The butler did not dare to delay, and left in a hurry.

When he was young, he took Bao Zhong and Bao Tao to Cao Cao's study.

But I saw that the armor on the two of them was full of traces of blood that had been coagulated, and many places on their arms and legs were bandaged, and the injuries were not light.

However, there seems to be a suspicion of ingenuity in the middle, and the two of them obviously did not clean up, especially because of this embarrassment.

As soon as they saw Cao Cao, Bao Zhong and Bao Tao couldn't help but cry.

The one who cries is called a pear blossom with rain, and I feel sorry for it.

Looking at this situation, Cao Cao roughly guessed what was going on.

Cao Cao's lips and face turned pale, he stared at Bao Zhong tightly, and asked hoarsely, "My father...... What about people? ”

Bao Zhong cried and kowtowed: "Lord, I'm sorry for you!" The old lady and Brother Ling, on the way back, were all victimized by traitors! The end will not be well protected, it seems to be a capital crime! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was dizzy.

He felt dizzy in his head, and his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.

Cao Chun's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly helped Cao Cao.

"The sky has no eyes! Which bastard hurt my father! Cao Cao shouted angrily.

Cao Cao was heartbroken, and Cao Chun asked Er Bao in his place, "What's going on?" Hurry up! ”

Bao Zhong and Bao Tao wept as they recounted the situation to Cao Cao and Cao Chun.

They were ordered to take their men to welcome Cao Song back to Yanzhou, during which they visited Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, and Tao Qian politely opened the way for the two of them to go to Langya to meet Zang Ba.

And Zang Ba was afraid of Cao Cao's might, so he didn't dare to stop him, so the two of them smoothly took the old lady Cao out of Langya and returned to Yanzhou.

I didn't want to go to the vicinity of Surabaya, but I was attacked by a group of thieves.

At first, Er Bao didn't take the other party seriously, but after the fight, he realized that something was wrong.

These thieves are extremely strong in battle and proficient in battle formations, Rao is Bao Zhong and Bao Tao fought hard to resist, but they were also killed, and the soldiers and horses under their command were almost completely destroyed, and the rest fled in all directions.

And Cao Song, Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De, and all the Cao family members were slaughtered by the gang of thieves in the chaotic battle.

The thief didn't stay long after the killing, but he just took some of the valuable baggage and quickly withdrew.

Comes like the wind, goes like electricity.

The more Cao Cao listened, the more he held his breath, sobbing and unable to speak.

When Cao Chun heard this, his eyes also turned red, he reached out and grabbed Bao Zhong, gritted his teeth and said, "The old man's corpse, have you brought it back?" ”

Bao Zhong nodded vigorously and said, "I brought it back, not only the body of the old lady, but also the corpse of some thieves who were killed by us, as well as the weapons and other leftovers used by the thieves, we brought them back, just to verify the lord!" ”

Cao Cao had already come back to his senses at this moment, and he said coldly to Bao Zhong and Bao Tao: "Take me to see!" ”

When he came to the morgue and saw the bodies of Cao Song and his younger brother Cao De, Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly.

From now on, he Cao Cao will completely become a child without a father and a mother.

After a while and a half, Cao Cao reluctantly came back to his senses, and together with Cao Chun, he examined the bodies of the thieves and the weapons used by Bao Zhong.

The more they looked at it, the more frightened they became.

The shape and specifications of this smelting knife are extremely uniform and familiar.

After a long time......

Cao Chun took a breath and asked Bao Zhong: "You say, those thieves who fought with you are like a fine battle array, what kind of tactics do they use?" You describe it carefully for me, and don't leave it out. ”

Bao Zhong then gave a precise description of Cao Chun.

Cao Cao listened from the sidelines...... The more I listened, the stronger the anger in my eyes became.

After Bao Zhong finished narrating, Cao Cao suddenly said, "What kind of person is the general they lead?" What kind of weapons are used? ”

Bao Zhong thought for a while and said: "The leading man is masked, and he can't see it really, but the other party's body is huge, his voice is like thunder, and he is fierce and irritable, so that a tiger's head and horse knife are extraordinary, brave and unmatched, and they are not comparable to leisure......"

"Are they really?" Cao Chun turned his head suddenly, and roared angrily: "The little thief surnamed Tao dares to harm my uncle!" Brother, you must not bypass the Tao family. ”

When Bao Zhong heard Cao Chun shout out a sentence surnamed Tao, he didn't understand what was going on at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly got his senses.

"My lord! That's right! The last general remembers! Before the last general went to pick up the old lady, he went to Xuzhou to ask Tao Qian to open the way...... Secretly, Tao and the lord are allies, and they are both vassals of Yuan Shao in Jizhou, so in such a relationship, the lord wants to take the old lady back to Yanzhou, Tao Qian should have something to say...... But in addition to opening a way out, the old man stayed out of the matter, didn't even ask, and dodged ...... The subordinates feel that there must be something strange about this matter! ”

After Bao Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao expectantly, probably expecting Cao Cao to praise his wisdom.

The problem is that now that even your father is dead, how can you still be in the mood to praise you?

If you don't beat you and can't take care of yourself, it's already Cao Cao's great kindness.

Cao Cao had regained his composure at this moment.

He quietly pestled his head with his hand, lowered his head and pondered carefully, and countless thoughts instantly changed in his mind.

"Potter...... Xu Chu...... Jinling Military ......"

When he was young, he saw Cao Cao open his half-closed eyes and muttered: "If it is according to Bao Zhongzhi's description, it seems that it is really made by the Tao family......"

Cao Chun was anxious: "What seems to be wrong!" It happened in the realm of his Xuzhou! The opponent's tactics and blades, as well as the leading generals, seem to be the same! Who can imitate such an image? It must be a potter thief! The despicability of this sub-end! Big brother, you treat him like a brother, he is so ungrateful, he hurt his uncle, if he doesn't kill all the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou this time, he will block the Sihe River with millions of corpses! How can you avenge this sea of blood! ”

Cao Cao is not Cao Chun's recklessness, and he is pondering a key issue in his heart.

What benefits will this do to the Tao family?

Cao Cao's expression this time was extremely gloomy, compared to the mournful appearance of the right talent, as if he had changed a person, and his temperament seemed deep like the sea, and no one could guess what he was thinking in his heart now.

He looked down at the body of the deceased Cao Song.

But I saw that my father's body had begun to stink, and there were faint corpse spots on his skin.

"Father." Cao Cao muttered to himself: "This world is really chaotic, and even you are involved...... Rest assured, sooner or later, the child will find you a true justice. ”

……

……

Hebei, Yecheng.

Cao Cao flattered the Son of Heaven and reached a political height to a certain extent, which was naturally a threat to Yuan Shao.

But even so, Yuan Shao had no choice, because as a representative of the old Shi clan, if he welcomed the Son of Heaven to Yecheng, it would be extremely unfavorable to his current rising political status.

So Yuan Shao has already made up his mind: let the Son of Heaven hold it in Cao Cao's hands for a few years!

After taking possession of the four states of Hebei, the chips in his hands are getting thicker and thicker, and when he can get rid of the constraints of those who support his own clans, he will take the Son of Heaven from Cao Cao's hands.

And let the surname Cao Apu stumble.

Now that the plan has been decided, the urgent need for delay is to occupy and merge the state first.

In fact, Yuan Shao has already begun to reach out to Bingzhou.

Since the death of Ding Yuan, it has been in a relatively chaotic situation.

Although Zhang Yang under Yuan Shao had a certain ability to control the prefecture, it was limited to Shangdang County and Hanoi County, and some county towns in the two counties were harassed and controlled by foreign races.

In addition to these two counties, most of the remaining counties west of Taihang Mountain were under Zhang Yan's deterrence.

With Yuan Shao's position, it is not possible to recruit the Montenegrin army, and the contradiction between the two sides cannot be alleviated at this moment.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was ready to start attacking the Montenegrin Army.

At the same time, he also sent the most capable senior cadre in his next life to take office in the state and serve as the assassin of the state.

The uncle and nephew are in harmony with each other inside and outside, and the goal is to sweep away the Montenegrin Army and control the nine counties of the state.

Just when Yuan Shao was planning to fight against the Montenegrin army, on this day, Zhang Yan sent someone to deliver a letter, although the tone of the letter was tough, but faintly, it seemed to be cowardly.

Obviously, Zhang Yan did not want to start an all-out war with Yuan Shao.

Therefore, in his letters, he tried his best to have a relationship with Yuan Shaopan, and even his subordinate Qu Shuai Bai Huan, and Yuan Shao's two sons were friends of life and death, all of which were written in the letters.

The letter stated in detail that Yuan Shao's two sons had a friendship with Bai Huan for a drinking party.

Yuan Shao was dumbfounded.

What is this?

My son has a relationship with a Montenegrin thief, how did I not know?

So, Yuan Shao called his three sons: Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang.

As soon as the three sons entered the hall, Yuan Shao directly threw the letter in front of them.

You three rebels, which two carried me to the Black Mountain Army to eat?

When the three sons saw Yuan Shao angry, and then looked at the content in their hearts, they were immediately stupid.

Who the hell has eaten with the Black Mountain thief!

Still a friend of life and death?

This is simply a frame-up, a frame-up!

Montenegrin Junguang said that he had dinner with Yuan Shao's two sons, and he didn't write clearly which two they were with, which is not particular!

Of the three sons, the younger one reacted the fastest.

He knelt down on one knee at Yuan Shao and directly brushed himself off: "Father, you know me!" The child never eats with the eldest man, this must have been done by the eldest brother and the second brother! ”

When Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi heard this, they almost ran out of breath.

You little, it's not you, it's not you! Why are you still correcting your two brothers?

This kid is too unsophisticated.

Yuan Tan also hurriedly cleared up the relationship: "Father, you know me, and the child never eats with the old man!" This is the third brother black me! He must have done it with his second brother! ”

Yuan Xi was stupid, and he was so angry that he almost didn't spray white foam.

I'm willing to eat with the old men, right? You are all elegant!

You two are beasts!

The three of them immediately quarreled loudly in front of Yuan Shao, causing Yuan Shao's headache to split.

"Go back and think about the past! Who rubbed the Black Mountain Army's meal, and thought clearly about himself to reflect with me! ”

One sentence sent the three bastards away.

After the three children left, when they were young, the guards came to report that they were frustrated and led Wen Chou and Zhang He to visit.

As soon as he heard that a few of them were back, Yuan Shao felt comforted in his heart, and hurriedly recruited a few of them in.

"It's done?" Yuan Shao glanced back and forth at Wen Chou and Zhang He, and asked excitedly.

Zhang He lowered his head, his face was not very good, and there was no squeak.

Wen Chou laughed and said, "Don't worry, the lord is doing it according to the strategy set by you and Mr. Fuzhu, and there has been no omission, and the last general deliberately pretended to be Xu Chu's barbarian...... Mr. Fu said that there were at least eight or nine imaging. ”

"Shh——!h Yuan Shao raised his finger and made a silent gesture at Wen Chou.

Fu Zhi stroked his beard on the side and said with a smile: "General Wen, the matter is done, and it is a good thing to get credit, but remember that the trouble comes from the mouth, and you can't be so loud." ”

Wen Chou raised his hand and patted his mouth, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes!" Sir is taught! The last will remember! ”

Yuan Shao nodded appreciatively and said, "The two generals have worked hard, so go down and rest first...... Junyi, you quit but worked hard, after a few days, although Yuan went out to fight the Black Mountain thieves, this time you led an army alone, don't let Yuan down! ”
