After the little emperor returned to Luoyang, in order to commemorate this event, it was decided to change the first year of Xingping in the following year, that is, in 194 AD, and at the same time issued an edict to amnesty the world.

What the little emperor didn't know was that because of his amnesty to the world, a person who had fled from Yingchuan to Xiangyang was pardoned for his sins, so that he could enter the door of his fellow villager Sima Hui to study.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the summer of the first year of Xingping, that is, when Pei Qingna, Cai Zhaoji and Dong Bai were concubines, but a major event happened in Xuzhou, where a person died, in fact, it was not a big deal to die a person in that era, but the problem was that the person who died was named Cao Song, and Cao Song had a son named Cao Cao!

It turned out that after Cao Cao Chen left the army, Cao Song fled to Langya in Xuzhou to avoid trouble, and later although Tao Qian and Yuan Shu formed an alliance, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were allies, the two brothers were not in harmony, resulting in Cao Cao and Tao Qian There was also a discord between the two groups, but Tao Qian has not moved Cao Song, and there is no direct military conflict with Cao Cao, although Tao Qian has certain ambitions, but he just wants to monopolize Xuzhou, so even if it is to protect himself and Yuan Shu, But he never participated in the melee between the heroes, on the contrary, he treated Cao Song more politely.

But after Cao Cao pacified Yanzhou and Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou, the situation changed, and Cao Song was not safe to live here again, after all, there was a deep grudge between Lu Bu and his son, so when he learned that Lu Bu was taken in by Tao Qian and was appointed as the minister of Langya, Cao Song was completely panicked, he lived in Langya, but Lu Bu was the minister of Langya, which was simply a dead end.

Fortunately, the first thing Lu Bu did after taking office was to go to Chang'an to pick up his family, and Cao Song decided to take this opportunity to leave Xuzhou, go to Yanzhou, and then go straight to Luoyang.

But after all, this is Tao Qian's territory, and Cao Song must get Tao Qian's consent if he wants to leave, so he personally sent a letter to Tao Qian to explain the matter.

Tao Qian understood this very well, and immediately ordered his subordinate Zhang Min to lead two hundred cavalry to escort Cao Song out of the country, after all, Cao Cao is now in the middle of the court, and his power is close to his neighbors, there is no need to offend him.

However, what is unexpected is that Tao Qian used the wrong person this time, history has proved that Tao Qian is a relatively benevolent person, but he is not very good at employing people, the most typical is Zhang Min and Zhenrong, one of these two brought him a monstrous disaster, and the other took advantage of the fire to rob, which made the already disaster-stricken Xuzhou even worse.

Zhang Min was originally a thief, and in the process of being ordered to escort Cao Song, he saw that Cao Song had a lot of property, so he had evil intentions and killed Cao Song's entire family, men, women and children, including Cao Song and his wife and concubine, the young son Cao De and others.

After killing Cao Song, Zhang Min knew that he was in trouble and couldn't stay in Xuzhou at all, so he hurriedly escaped from Xuzhou and went to Huainan to join Yuan Shu.

Now Yuan Shu occupies the entire Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, forcing the Yangzhou assassin Liu Xuan sent by the imperial court to Qu'a to take office, but even the Danyang County where Qu'a is located was almost beaten down by Sun Ce, and at the same time, Sun Ce sent his adviser Yu Fu to persuade the new Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin to surrender, so Yuan Shu has occupied nearly four counties, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, and there are fierce generals like Sun Ce's minions, and now the strength has exceeded the heyday.

However, since the last time he attacked Nanyang, he was hit hard by Xu Rong, the Taishou of Nanyang under Pei Qing, Yuan Shu has almost given up the idea of fighting Pei Qing, but has successfully incited Sun Ce to lead the army to launch a fierce attack on Liu Biao's Jiangxia by taking advantage of the hatred between Sun Ce and Liu Biao.

Although the two sides are now evenly matched, Yuan Shu's strength is now conceivable, and only Yuan Shu can guarantee Zhang Min's safety in this world.

Tao Qian almost fainted after hearing the news, he hurriedly wrote a letter to Cao Cao, explaining in detail what happened, and ordered someone to send the corpses of Cao Song's family to Luoyang.

Cao Cao is full of joy looking forward to his father being able to return to Luoyang, after all, Cao Song used to be the captain of the school, Cao Song's adoptive father Cao Teng is a famous eunuch who shocked the world, although Cao Teng is now dead, but the current Cao family is also regarded as a hairpin in the past dynasties, and has deep connections in the court, once Cao Song can reach Luoyang, it will inevitably be more beneficial to Cao Cao.

But he never expected that what Cao Cao was looking forward to was his father's corpse.

In fact, when he heard the news that Cao Song was preparing to leave Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not send someone to greet him, he sent Taishan Taishou Ying Shao to lead the army to meet Cao Song, but Ying Shao only waited for the news of Cao Song's death.

Ying Shao, who was shocked in his heart, was afraid that he would be punished by Cao Cao, so he immediately fled to Yuan Shao in Jizhou to avoid trouble.

Cao Cao, who heard the news, was immediately grief-stricken, and he immediately ordered Tao Qian's envoy who was escorting the corpse to be killed on the spot, and announced through gritted teeth: "Tao Qian's old thief, dare to harm my father, I will be inseparable from him!" ”

Cao Cao actually blamed Tao Qian for everything, saying that Tao Qian had deliberately murdered his father in order to win over Lu Bu, otherwise why would he appoint Lu Bu as the minister of Langya? Where are Xiapi, Donghai, Guangling and other places? Why did Lu Bu appoint Lu Bu to Langya? What is the relationship between Lu Bu and himself? Tao Qian would not be unclear, but he still did it, and his intentions were obvious.

In fact, since he heard that Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou, Cao Cao's heart was already strongly dissatisfied, but his father was in Xuzhou at the time, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only send someone to persuade his father to come back, and wait until Cao Song came back to find a way to deal with Tao Qian.

Now Cao Song's death made him seize the excuse, and immediately ordered the production of white flags and white armor, and the three armies hung filial piety, and then he personally led the army to conquer Tao Qian, this time he must wash Xuzhou in blood and avenge his father!

"But the lord, once you leave Luoyang, Dong Cheng will definitely take the opportunity to strengthen his influence in the court, in case he has other actions, I am afraid that the lord will never be able to return to Luoyang in the future."

When Cao Cao decided to lead the army into battle, Cao Ren, who was in charge of staying in Luoyang, said to him very worriedly.

Cao Cao sighed when he heard this and said: "Of course I know what you said, but my father's hatred is not shared, if I don't avenge this revenge, it will be in vain as a son of man, so everything in Luoyang will depend on your son's filial piety, since I will leave you, that is to let you be in charge, if there are really people who want to disadvantage us, then take the opportunity to kill a good one, I want to see, is it the knife in my hand, or the neck of some people?" However, you must guard against Pei Qing in this line, you must guard the passes along the road, and stick to it carefully, I believe that Pei Qing will do his best to attack, and he may not be able to break through the two levels of Hangu and Lu Hun! ”
