Chapter 7: Cao Cao's Great Joy (Asking for Votes)
It was past noon, and Cao Cao walked restlessly on the side of the road, stopping from time to time to look south.
The morning passed, and the two pursuing men and horses still did not return, and even Cao Ang and Liu Ping, the two guys who didn't know the severity, had disappeared.
He had a faint feeling in his heart that something was not good.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the valley, and Cao Cao was overjoyed that he had finally returned.
Cheng Yu beside him shook his head in disappointment and said, "The sound of this horse's hooves is very urgent, I'm afraid this team of people will return empty-handed." ”
Cao Cao listened carefully, and sure enough, it was a rapid march, and it obviously didn't look like he was carrying a baggage.
I was in a hurry, I didn't expect this layer.
Not long after, sure enough, a team of men and horses came back, and it was the team that was pursuing in the direction of Yuzhou.
The leading general rolled the saddle and dismounted, and half-knelt in front of Cao Cao to report: "Envoy Jun, we are about to chase to the city of Yuzhou, and we have not found a heavy vehicle. ”
"Let's go down," Cao Cao said to himself in disappointment: "It seems that the thieves should have returned to Xuzhou, and I don't know if they can catch up." ”
Cheng Yu said: "I'm afraid that someone will answer in the direction of Xuzhou, so it won't be easy to do." ”
"Wait and see," Cao Cao said smugly.
It was another hour to wait, and the team of men and horses chasing Xuzhou finally returned.
It's just that only about 30 people came back.
"Returning to the envoy, we chased out more than 30 miles to encounter the Xuzhou army patrolling the city, the enemy is several times larger than me, only I waited for these 30 or so people to rush to the death, so that they could come back alive, the rest of the soldiers have been killed in battle, and the crime of death will be ten thousand deaths."
The leader with a bloody face knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
"Damn!" Cao Cao clenched his fists fiercely and said, "Tao Qian'er actually arranged an ambush, it seems that the baggage has fallen into the hands of that old man." ”
He didn't know that it was only Zhang Min who wanted to see the wealth, and it had nothing to do with Tao Qian, but Zhang Min was Tao Qian's general, so he naturally wanted to count this account on Tao Qian.
The lost soldiers have not recovered the baggage, which makes Cao Cao angry, which is equivalent to raising the enemy.
But he had no choice, so he brought this little person, and he couldn't go deep into the hinterland of Xuzhou to snatch it.
"Go down and fix it, it's not your fault that you lost this battle."
Cheng Yu sighed, shook his head and said: "It seems that Xuzhou has been prepared for a long time, we can only admit this lost baggage, envoy, hurry up and order the class teacher, this place is located on the border, and it is not safe." ”
"Wait for Ang'er and Ping'er to come back and take up the class, these two ...... Ay! Cao Cao also sighed, he was not a good-tempered person, if it weren't for Cao Song beside him, this fire would have erupted a long time ago.
Military affairs were treated as child's play by these two people, what to learn to ride a horse at this time?
Even if you can't share his worries, you can't add to the chaos, it's okay now, everyone is waiting for them.
Another hour passed, the sun was already setting in the west, Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao: "Envoy, the situation is not right, even if they learn to ride horses, they should have come back for such a long time, and they won't run into rogues, right, why don't you send someone to pick them up?" ”
There are many outcasts in this chaotic army, and there are even thousands of people in the larger ones.
Cao Ang and the others only have a total of about 100 people, and if they really encounter large-scale rogues, they may not be able to beat them.
"Answer what? They are not children," Cao Cao said hatefully: "I really don't know the severity, look at how I clean them up when I go back." ”
At this time, Cao Song also panicked, after all, he was his eldest grandson and life-saving benefactor, if he really ran into a rogue, he would regret it if he made any mistakes.
He now regretted supporting the two of them to go out on horseback.
"Or ...... Just listen to Mr. Cheng, let's go and see, if there is any danger, it will be troublesome, even if they have to be punished, they must be rescued. ”
"Humph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, but still stepped on his peerless horse, he wanted to find it himself.
"Drive! Drive! ”
Then I heard someone shouting in the valley ahead, accompanied by the creaking of the axles.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, who were sitting on the horse, looked at each other, what was the situation?
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Isn't that the eldest prince and Liu Pinggong?" ”
Cao Cao put his hands on the pergola, and saw that in the valley in the distance, Liu Ping and Cao Ang walked with their heads and reins, followed by more than 100 of his cavalry.
What's even more incredible is that they are escorting the twenty carts in the middle......
There were even a hundred captives with their hands tied......
Cao Cao rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure that what he saw was true.
He was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic, patted his thigh on the horse and smiled: "Ang'er Ping'er, is this chasing back the baggage?"
How did these two boys do that? ”
The two said that they were going to ride horses, but they accidentally brought the baggage back, which surprised Cao Cao too much.
"One, two...... Twenty cars, not a car," Cao Song excitedly stood on a high place and counted it, and when he heard Cao Cao's question, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Fang Cai Ping'er suggested chasing to the southwest, don't you believe it?"
I guess he must have chased him southwest in the name of riding a horse.
If I had not, this child would not have been so ignorant. ”
Cao Cao thought about it, as if there was really such a thing, so he said embarrassedly: "It's me who blames Ping'er." ”
To say that the most embarrassing thing at the scene was Cheng Yu, it was his misjudgment that caused one team of men and horses to pounce in the air, and the other team of men and horses encountered the enemy army and lost their troops.
When Liu Ping insisted on chasing to the southwest, he also taught Liu Ping a lesson, but now it's good, Liu Ping really chased the baggage back, where did he put his face?
"Envoy, I will ask you for your guilt."
He got down on one knee, his face was hot, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground.
While speaking, Liu Ping and Cao Ang had already escorted their baggage back to Cao Cao.
"Uncle, fortunately, we have snatched the baggage back," Liu Pingle hugged his fists.
"Okay, good," Cao Cao Dayue called three good words in succession.
"Ping'er, I didn't expect you to be a lucky general, the lost baggage can be recovered, and I will definitely be rewarded when I go back."
thought that the baggage had fallen into Tao Qian's hands, but he didn't expect Liu Ping to give him an unexpected surprise.
Liu Ping gave him too many surprises today, he had to think about how to reward him when he went back.
It's a lot of credit, and it's a real headache.
"Thank you, uncle!" Liu Ping Shili.
Now, the first thick leg of the Three Kingdoms is stable.
Liu Ping remembered that in the romance, it was said that Cao Cao rewarded ten beauties in order to get Guan Yu......
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang again and said with relief: "Ang'er has done a good job, make this great achievement, go back and receive the reward together." ”
"Father, this time, the son is confused, but it is to occupy the light of Liu Pingxian's brother, please ask my father to reward him." Cao Ang was also kind-hearted and did not be greedy for merit.
"I know it in my heart," Cao Cao nodded, and said, "The prisoner behind you, but Tao Qian's thief soldiers?" ”
"Exactly, the rest of the thieves have been killed."
Cao Cao squinted his eyes at the group of captives, making people shudder: "Are you under Tao Qian's instructions?" ”
"Exactly, exactly, we were all instructed by Tao Qian to offend Lord Taiwei."
"I beg you to spare your life, and we are willing to surrender."
The captives fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
Cheng Yu didn't care about his identity, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Min and asked loudly: "Why don't you go back to Xuzhou, or go to Yuzhou, but flee to Runan?" ”
He was obsessed with this, after all, he made a mistake in judgment and was embarrassed.
Zhang Min looked at him and said weakly: "Because...... Because the young general's home is in Runan...... Close to home. ”
Cheng Yu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, it turned out to be such a simple reason.
Cao Cao recovered the baggage, he was in a good mood, and Chong Cheng Yu smiled: "This is not a miscalculation by Mr., but that people are not as good as heaven, and Mr. does not have to mind."
Fortunately, Ping'er was blessed and chased back.
It is of great use to send these people back. ”
Cheng Yu naturally knew that in fact, Cao Cao had long wanted to use troops against Xuzhou, but he never found an excuse, and the division was unknown.
But if you control these Xuzhou soldiers in your hands as witnesses, it is justified to send troops.
Whether it is Tao Qian's instruction or not, it can finally be relied on on Tao Qian's head.
Avenging the Father is the best name.
"Class teacher!" Cao Cao gave an order, and all the soldiers got on their horses and went back to Yanzhou.
