Chapter Seventy-One: Nothing to Do
Cao He and Qin Ye were discussing in the hall of the county government, but there were bursts of hurried footsteps at the door, and suddenly someone shouted loudly outside: "Cao Xing, you get out of here." ”
Hearing this, Chen Hu and Zhou Cang immediately took the case, but Cao Xing waved his hand, and there was a hint of a smile on his face, he first signaled everyone to be calm, and then slowly stood up, and at this time, the group of people walked into the door.
There were about thirty or forty people in this group, among which there were more than twenty people holding spears and wearing long swords, wearing armor, standing majestically on the side, looking at the makeup of soldiers, You Tie stood in front of them, with a proud face, and there were more than ten old men standing in the middle, looking at Cao Xing in front of him with a majestic face.
"Hehe, the head of the Cai family is really unharmed." Seeing this, Cao Xing immediately went up to say hello.
However, when Cai Gui saw this, he waved his hand coldly: "Cao Xing, you have also seen the current situation in Bianyun County now, it is all caused by you alone, what do you say to do now?" ”
Listening to Cai Gui's words, Cao Xing's mind was a little confused, what is the current situation of Bianyun County, it is all caused by Cao Xing alone, although Bianyun County is now surrounded, but that is not Cao Xing's fault, to be precise, Xianbei had surrounded Bianyun County that day, so everyone couldn't run out, but Cao Xuan also thought that this group of people escaped from their home tunnel last night.
Although these great families have dug tunnels in their own rooms, the leading of the tunnels is nothing more than outside the city, and at most it extends to a few miles outside the city, and this tunnel is already very deep.
If Cao Xing didn't guess wrong, these people from the family probably just ran out of the tunnel when they were seen by the Xianbei cavalry, and they had no choice but to destroy the entrance and quietly escape back again.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing's face showed a smile, he glanced at both sides, and then respectfully Cai Gui said: "Master Cai, there were many offends in the late generations that day, please let me go for the sake of my youth and ignorance, but now Bianyun County is in a moment of crisis, and our defensive forces are not enough, please also ask your families to open up and borrow some soldiers to use!" ”
The reason why Cao Xuan is so low in the face of Cai Gui and others now is only because Cao Xuan took into account these big families, everyone has more or less private soldiers in their homes, and these soldiers are all distributed with ordinary equipment for ordinary soldiers, if these soldiers are pulled to the battlefield, it is estimated that they will be a powerful force.
It's just that Cao Xing's words just fell, and immediately ushered in a loud shout, only to see that the head of the Zhu family walked directly in front of Cao Xing, stretched out his fingers, and his fingers were almost poked into Cao Xing's face: "Cao Xing, you don't sell well here, we came here today, and we are about to hold you accountable, you don't talk to us about other conditions!" ”
"Responsibility? What a responsibility! Cao Xing was really a little stunned this time, he took someone to the front line in person, and he held on for two days, isn't this enough? Even if it is reactive, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is any fault.
"Hmph, Cao Xing, I see you're still pretending to be stupid here!" A family head immediately stood up and looked at Cao Xing and scolded: "The bad luck that you came to us that night delayed us for two hours, if it weren't for you, we would have escaped by now!" ”
"Yes, it's Cao Xing's selfishness that caused us to be trapped in Bianyun County!"
"What do you say we should do now, Bianyun County has been surrounded, and sooner or later it will be broken, once it is damaged, the consequences are unimaginable, Cao Xing, I order you, now immediately take all your family wealth and go to Xianbei to ask for peace!"
……
Looking at the faces of these family heads and listening to the words that came out of their mouths, Cao Xing only felt a chill in his heart, he was not afraid of these verbal attacks, but the national disaster, these people even dared to say these words in a high-sounding manner.
Even if their lives are in danger now, they are still here to pursue their own interests and shirk each other's responsibilities, so Cao Xuan feels a chill, and more importantly, these families are usually deceiving their superiors and subordinates, hiding from the court, and not reporting all the wealth in their hands, so they pay a lot less taxes and squeeze the people downward, they can be said to be the most comfortable group of people, but at this critical period, they actually said this file, and the smile on Cao Xing's face gradually disappeared.
The head of the Zhu family had a very hot temper, accusing Cao Xing of constantly scolding him, as if he really had a grudge against Cao Xing for killing his father and taking his wife, and sprayed Cao Xingzi with a spit on his face.
Cao Xin showed a smile on his face, wiped the saliva off his face, and then turned around directly and walked back, while the head of the Zhu family and the others shouted loudly in the back, letting Cao Xin go, and he had to take an explanation.
Cao Xing nodded with his back to them, walked to a table and picked up a jar of wine, and then came to these people, and said word by word: "Want money?" I don't have Cao sex! Annoying? I don't want to give either! But! I can invite you guys, drink! ”
Looking at this stall full of cold spirits, Cao Xuan shouted, and a jar of wine smashed directly on the head of the Zhu family master, with a loud bang, the jar suddenly fell apart, and the wine splashed on the ground, and the Zhu family master also let out a scream like killing a pig, and he fell directly to the ground like this, covering his head and rolling constantly.
"Cao Xing, what are you doing!" You Tie, who was standing on the side, shouted directly at Cao Xing, but Youtie's words had just fallen, and before the other family heads and the private soldiers of the family could react, Chen Hu and Zhou Cang directly took weapons and took the soldiers and horses at the door to surround this group of people.
Seeing this symptom, the soldiers of these families originally wanted to resist, but when they saw that these people were all holding bows and crossbows in their hands, they had already aimed their heads at them, and they could only freeze in place, not daring to make any movement.
"Cao Xing, are you crazy? The head of the Zhu family is one of the three elders in the past, you dare to fight, I see you, I see you, you are ......" Cai Gui wanted to scold, but as he spoke, he didn't dare to continue.
Originally, Cao Xing showed a look of pretending to be a grandson at the beginning, they felt that Cao Xing was easy to bully, but they didn't know that the reason why Cao Xing showed weakness as soon as he came, the reason was that he just wanted to temporarily envelop them, these families let them borrow some soldiers to use, which can also ease the tense relationship between everyone, after all, now the foreign enemy is invading.
It's a pity that these big families not only won't borrow a soldier or a horse from Cao Xing, but they also keep counting Cao Xing's sins here, as if Cao Xing really did something unforgivable to anger people.
The moment Cao Xuan smashed the wine jar into the head of the Zhu family, Cao Xing's whole person's momentum suddenly changed, the most obvious thing was the eyes, Cai Gui looked at Cao Xuan at the moment, as if he was looking at a beast that chose people to devour.
During the day, Cao Xing's momentum of killing more than ten people in a row on the battlefield burst out, as for Chen Hu Zhoucang next to him and a soldier, everyone saw a lot of blood on the battlefield today, and now the anger in the body has not subsided.
"Hehe, Cai Gui, you guys who eat dry rice, I know that you have soldiers in your hands, and you won't lend them out, it doesn't matter, after you go back, close the door for me, close the door, and wait for the Xianbei people to come in, it's not too late for you to make plans, but I want you to give me all the guarantees here today, when Xianbei has not broken the city, you are not allowed to wander around in the remote county town, let alone make some unfavorable words about the battle situation, if you don't kill you!"
When Cao Xuan finished saying this, he suddenly drew his sword, the cold light flashed, and the knife light was directly on Cai Gui's neck, and Chen Hu, Zhou Cang and others also relied on a step, those soldiers had already pressed their bows and crossbows on the necks of those family members, as long as Cao Xuan gave an order, they would definitely not hesitate to slaughter all these so-called family magnates.
"Okay, good ......" Although Cai Gui, as the head of the family, has seen a lot of scenes, but now he really feels a fear of death, if he dares to say nothing, Cao Xing's blade will definitely fall.
Under the leadership of Cai Gui, these family heads have completely lost their former majesty, and those who are a little bolder are still trying to stay calm now, but those who are timid have been so scared that they pee their pants, and they walked in front of Cao Xing one by one, and there is no longer the inevitability of the past, and there is no longer the domineering of the past, they are all like a grandson, and they swear a good bet in front of Cao Xing, and they will definitely not interfere with the battle situation, otherwise the sky will thunder.
In the end, Cai Gui and others were helped up, and the head of the Zhu family, who had been beaten half-dead, then fled for his life and left the county office.
"Big brother, why did you let these old things go? If it were me, I would kill them with a knife! ”
Cao Xing's heart also lit up and slapped the table, and shouted: "You think I don't want to, but now that Xianbei is eyeing outside, you still keep your blade and kill a few more Xianbei people!" ”
When Chen Hu heard this, he immediately didn't dare to speak.
At this moment, another group of people hurriedly walked into the county office, and there were more people in this group, about a hundred, and Che Wu walked in front of them, and Che Wu looked at Cao Xing's archer and said.
"My lord, I have already found you the person you want, but most of the people have just run back to the city today, and they are now frightened, some of them have eighty old mothers and seven year-old children, and they seem to be unwilling to listen to our call!" Che Wu said slowly.
Cao Xing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then nodded indifferently, he beckoned, and Zhou Cang and Chen Hu immediately went to move the goods behind. Then Cao Xing shouted: "Go to the city tower!" "Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "The Strongest Marksmanship Claw Book House of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
