Xuzhou,

"Brother Cao, why don't you stay in Xuzhou for a few more days so that you can do your best to be a landlord."

Tao Qian said to Cao Song with a smile, Cao Song is naturally Cao Cao's father Cao Song, in the early years, in order to avoid war, he took part of his family property to live in Langya County on the border of Xuzhou, and now Cao Cao is hegemonic in Yanzhou, and Cao Song, who got a message from his son, naturally hopes to return to his hometown to stay with his son and enjoy the joy of family.

"I also want to communicate more with Lord Thorn Shi, but my son is anxious, and I also want to see my grandchildren as soon as possible, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time."

Cao Song said with a smile, Cao Song still respects Tao Qian, and his life in Langya County over the years is thanks to Tao Qian's care. Not only did he live a stable life, but he also expanded his industry.

"In this case, I don't force it, but your family is rich, I'm afraid the road will not be smooth, I plan to send a team to escort you to Yanzhou, I don't know what you think?"

Although Tao Qian abides by his duty, he is unwilling to compete with the major princes, and has no ambition, but it does not mean that he is stupid.

Xuzhou is rich and full of people, although Tao Qian does not have many talents, but his subordinates can still be regarded as strong soldiers, so the choice of allies is extremely important.

For a long time, Tao Qian did not have much good impression of Yuan Shao, but admired Cao Cao, who seemed to be from a humble background.

Now Cao Cao's achievements have also verified his idea, using Cao Cao as an ally is exactly what Tao Qian thinks, and Cao Song is his best bargaining chip.

"Then thank you, Lord Thorn!"

Thinking of his treasures, Cao Song was worried, and naturally he would not refuse Tao Qian, but what Cao Song didn't know was that his consent was that he himself let himself embark on the road to the underworld.

"Zhang Min!"

Tao Qian called out to a general not far away.

"The last general!"

Zhang Min hurriedly came over.

"You take five hundred people to escort Brother Cao to Yanzhou!"

Tao Qian instructed Zhang Min, and Zhang Min did not refuse Tao Qian's orders on weekdays, which also made Tao Qian trust.

However, he forgot Zhang Min's previous identity, Zhang Min was the leader of the Yellow Turban before, and many of his men were Yellow Turban soldiers.

Their lust and greed for wealth are much more serious than ordinary people.

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Min naturally did not refuse.

"Thank you, Lord Thorn Shi, there is also General Lao Zhang."

Cao Song first thanked Tao Qian, and then thanked Zhang Min.

"That's what the last general should do!"

Zhang Min was the first to answer, his face was serious, and he looked like an upright general.

Tao Qian smiled in return, he had his purpose, and he was naturally interested in Cao Song.

"Farewell!"

After saying goodbye, Cao Song stepped into the carriage and began his road to Yanzhou.

……

"This Cao Song is really lucky! is so old, and there are such beautiful women with him. ”

Looking at Cao Song, who was playing with young women and eating tofu in the carriage, the people around Zhang Min were very envious.

"Whoever made his family have a great cause and a good son."

Zhang Min echoed and said, Zhang Min dislikes people like Cao Song very much, after all, he was born in poverty, and his purpose in participating in the Yellow Turban in the first place was actually to defeat people like Cao Song and find a way out for his family.

"Stay under Lord Tao, although you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but the life is really light, looking at this old dog Cao, it's really embarrassing."

Zhang Min's subordinates spoke again, and at this time their faces were no longer envious, but jealous and resentful.

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Zhang Min fell into silence, thinking about Tao Qian's attitude towards Cao Song, recalling Cao Song's wealth, recalling the young and beautiful women in this team, and recalling Cao Song's charming and moving concubine, Zhang Min's calm heart became confused.

The sky gradually darkened, and the group found a place to set up camp.

At night, Zhang Min led a few people to patrol the camp, but suddenly heard the abnormal sound of Cao Song's tent.

The group approached cautiously, and finally they heard the mixed voices of men and women, and they naturally understood after a long time on the battlefield.

After listening for a while, several people stayed away from Cao Song's camp.

"This Cao Song is really old-hearted!"

"It's a pity that the handsome little lady was at the hands of Cao Song!"

"This Cao Song is really lucky!"

Listening to the discussions of several subordinates, Zhang Min's mind gradually became clearer, and with a bite of his teeth, Zhang Min secretly made a decision.

The next day, the procession continued to advance, and by this time it was already close to the Yanxu border.

That is, on the night of the same day, Zhang Min exploded, took his original subordinates, got rid of Cao Song, and occupied Cao Song's family property, except for the dozen or so young women who were taken away, the rest were killed by Zhang Min and others.

Among them are Cao Cao's own brothers, cousins, uncles and others.

This matter soon spread to Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Tao Qian's ears, and Cao Cao's ears.

……

"Tao Qian, damn Tao Qian!"

After learning the news, Cao Cao was naturally furious, his father, younger brother, and uncle died, which Cao Cao couldn't accept at all.

"The Lord is angry!"

Xun Yu and others persuaded that although they knew that this matter must not be instructed by Tao Qian, they were very dissatisfied with Tao Qian's choice.

"How do you let so-and-so calm his anger, so-and-so father died, so-and-so brother died, how do so-and-so calm his anger!"

After everyone's persuasion, Cao Cao's anger did not decrease but increased.

"Lord, we are also extremely saddened by the death of the old lady, but this matter is not an opportunity for the lord."

Guo Jia opened his mouth and said that Guo Jia was a very courageous person, so even if he knew that Cao Cao was angry, he dared to brush the tiger's beard.

"What do you mean!"

His face sank, Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia, his eyes were full of anger, no matter how angry he was on weekdays, Cao Cao called Guo Jia also called Feng Xiao, but this time it was obviously different.

"Lord, this is the opportunity for the lord to take the opportunity to take Xuzhou, although the words of his subordinates are rebellious, but they are all for the sake of the lord."

Guo Jia was not afraid, and said solemnly to Cao Cao, of course, Guo Jia is not a fool, he did not look directly at Cao Cao, but knelt down and said this.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia's appearance, extremely angry, he had an urge to let people pull Guo Jia out and cut him, but he couldn't be ruthless.

"Lord, the old lady died unexpectedly, and this revenge must be avenged!"

Xun Yu spoke at the right time, his words were obviously much more tactful than Guo Jia, he was telling Cao Cao to take Xuzhou through revenge.

"Yes, revenge must be taken!"

Cao Cao was blinded by hatred, but he didn't understand the meaning of Xun Yu's words for a while.

Whether it is Guo Jia or Xun Yu, they all have only one idea, that is, to take this opportunity to take Tao Qian's Yanzhou, as for whether they kill Tao Qian in the end, it doesn't matter at all in their opinion.

"Pass my order, order 100,000 troops to attack Xuzhou, and I want Xuzhou City chickens and dogs not to stay!"
