Before Zhang Min could react, he saw a huge black shadow rushing in, and faintly saw two cold iron halberds, and cut off his head.

Zhang Min hurriedly raised his knife to block, but he didn't know that the huge black shadow, the power was so terrifying, a pair of iron halberds fell, and he was about to slash the big knife in his hand, and it fell suddenly, only to see Zhang Min's head like a big watermelon, which exploded and the blood ** flew everywhere. Several soldiers next to Zhang Min saw that Zhang Min had died so terrifyingly, and immediately fled in a panic. The huge black shadow, smiling coldly, as if killing ants, stuck a pair of iron halberds at his waist, and then took out a few short halberds, each of which made a scream.

At the same time, in a row of houses, almost every room, there were bursts of miserable screams.

"Haunted! It's haunted!! Where the hell did these people come from!! ”

A small leader under Zhang Min's command hastily lit the fire candle in the house while making the soldiers resist. They obviously killed these guards just now, so what are those people outside! Ghosts!!

When the candlelight was lit, the little leader's face turned blue when he saw the bloody corpse on the bed. Although I couldn't see the corpse clearly, the bare head was so easy to recognize. The person they killed just now turned out to be a monk in this temple!!

"Isn't it! They also have the intention of killing us!! ”

The little boss instantly understood, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice that we had been plotted!

When the soldiers in the nearby house heard this, they were immediately in chaos, and several small leaders led several pairs of soldiers to fight desperately, braved the heavy rain, and fled outside the temple.

It's just that when these little leaders either led the troops to flee to the front gate of the temple or fled to the back door, they all retreated in despair. Because, I don't know when, the entire ancient temple was surrounded by a group of soldiers and horses.

Dian Wei in the dark night, the more he killed, the more crazy he became, just like the immovable king of the Ming came to the world again, exterminated all living beings, he danced the iron halberd from the temple to kill. There are countless people who have died at his hands. Later, the soldiers and horses outside the temple rushed in, and the guards in the temple surrounded and killed Zhang Min's remnants at the same time, and killed until dawn, Zhang Min's 500 soldiers did not survive in this slaughter.

The corridors and monks' rooms in the ancient temple, as well as the Buddha statues standing around, are all covered with blood stains and minced meat. Cao Song walked into the ancient temple with a cold face and the support of a team of soldiers and horses, walked to the side of the corpses of those monks who were killed by Zhang Min last night, and made a deep Buddhist salute, and then pointed to the corpses of Zhang Min's soldiers on the other side and shouted to the soldiers next to him.

"Strip off their armor and put on your armor and my little clothes."

After Cao Song gave his orders, he left the ancient temple, walked into a carriage, and sat quietly without saying a word. After two hours, after the crime scene in the ancient temple was completed, Dian Wei led the escort team out of the ancient temple, came to Cao Song's carriage, and said a few words respectfully.

"Good. So let's go. ”

Cao Song slowly opened his eyes, and after saying a flat word, the convoy began to act. Dian Wei led the escort team and the soldiers and horses who had been ambushed last night, and rushed to Yanzhou all the way to Yanzhou in concealment.

Half a month later, Tao Qian saw that Zhang Min had not returned for a long time, and he was in a state of distress for several days, as if he had an ominous premonition that a catastrophe was coming, and he was about to send troops and horses to find him. Before the herald soldiers were called, suddenly Cao Bao, the general under Tao Qian, looked hurried, rushed over with a rushed face, knelt down and said.

"Lord!! Big big thing is not good!! Cao Mengde sent a blood letter, wanting to use 100,000 elite soldiers to invade Xuzhou!! ”

"What!! I treated his father well and let Zhang Min escort him home. Why did Cao Mengde bully me so much!! ”

"Lord, the problem is Zhang Min, an ungrateful and unchanging thief! On the way to escort Cao Taigong, Zhang Min saw that Cao Taigong had a lot of money in the convoy, so he had a bad heart and returned his soldiers to take money and kill him. Cao Taigong was lost in the chaotic battle and disappeared, and the guards who fled back told Cao Cao. I heard from the messenger that when Cao Cao heard it, he screamed on the spot, fell to the ground crying, and was in a coma for several days before he woke up in pain! After Cao Cao woke up, he immediately repaired a blood letter, and at the same time gathered a large army, wanting to come to the lord to ask for his father! Otherwise, the army will go out to wash the land of Xuzhou! ”

"Qian originally wanted to marry Cao Cao, but he had no eyes and believed in the wrong thief, which caused a big disaster. Zhang Min is greedy for money by nature, I think he must have bad intentions, so he would say that he would escort Cao Taigong! To have this is really the sin of all humility!! ”

Tao Qian listened, took three steps back, his face was full of sadness, and he couldn't regret it, and a breath of hot air surged into his heart, almost vomiting blood.

"Lord!! It's too late to regret it at the moment, and I hope that the lord will immediately recruit all the soldiers in Xuzhou to resist Cao Cao's 100,000 elite soldiers. Otherwise, with Cao Cao now full of hatred, once 100,000 elite soldiers are killed in Xuzhou, they will definitely be killed! ”

"No! If so, wouldn't it be a confirmation of my accusation of harming his father? Cao Bao, you first send thousands of soldiers to search for the area where Cao Taigong was killed. Then 30,000 soldiers were recruited, and the old man led him out to greet him, explained the reason to Cao Mengde, hoping to persuade him and give the old man a month to find the traces of Cao Taigong. ”

"But the lord, Mrs. Cao has been in distress for half a month, and there is almost no chance of survival. If Cao Cao waited for a month to no avail, he would definitely have a deeper hatred, thinking that the lord was deliberately delaying time, recruiting soldiers and horses, and playing tricks on him! ”

Tao Qian's expression suddenly froze, his body trembled frequently, and he seemed to have made a big choice.

"If you really can't find Mrs. Cao after a month. For the safety of the people of Xuzhou, the old man volunteered to Cao Ying to take the guilt, and then Cao Cao wanted to kill or chop, and he was as he pleased! ”

"Lord!! You are the lord of Xuzhou, how can you!! ”

"Enough!! The old man has made up his mind, and it is precisely because the old man is a pastor in Xuzhou that he cannot tolerate any Xuzhou people who died innocently because of the mistakes committed by the old man! Cao Bao, you still hurry up and carry out the order that the old man just left! ”

"Yes! Lord!! ”

Cao Bao gritted his teeth, and after giving up his hand with a sad face, he walked out of the county hall.

But he said that Cao Cao led 100,000 elite soldiers to Xuzhou. Among them, Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Dian Wei each led 10,000 soldiers to kill Pengcheng in Xuzhou for the vanguard army, and the vanguard army attacked wildly for days, and almost half of the cities and counties of Pengcheng were broken within a few days.

Until five days later, Tao Qian led 30,000 elite soldiers to Pengcheng, the county seat of Tanxian. Xiahoudun saw that Tan County was heavily guarded, and thought that Cao Cao ordered him not to attack in a hurry, so he ordered the whole army to temporarily settle down and camp. And the defenders of Tan County were also under Tao Qian's strict orders, only guarding the city without any action. After Cao Cao's army arrived, 100,000 elite soldiers set up a large array, Cao Cao stood in front of the formation, his expression was angry and sad, and he pointed to the head of the city and called Tao Qian to see.

Tao Qian heard that Cao Cao was coming and hurriedly led the troops out to greet him, and looked at the generals and soldiers of the Cao army from afar, all of them looked hateful, their eyes were terrifying, and they gritted their teeth as if they had a deep hatred with the entire Xuzhou army. I also saw that the Chinese army in the drill formation put up two big flags, and the words 'return my blood relatives' were written in a big book. Tao Qian's heart jumped when he saw it, and he was cold. When Cao Cao saw Tao Qian's figure, he immediately rode out of the battle, ran to the vicinity, and scolded with a whip. Tao Qian also went out under the banner of the door and bowed his body.

"Meng De is angry! The old man wanted to marry Ming Gong, so he promised Zhang Min to escort him, but he didn't know that he got up early and murdered Ming Gong's blood relatives. The matter has come to this point, and the old man does not dare to stay out of the matter and get away with the crime alone. I also hope that Meng De can give the old man a month to let the old man find the traces of Cao Taigong to get rid of Meng De's hatred! ”

"Humph!! Old Puff! Your generals are plotting to murder my father, and you dare to talk nonsense!! Now that my father has been killed for nearly half a month, if he survives, how can he not come and see me!! I, Cao Mengde, as a son of man, have not yet had time to repay my father's great kindness, but I was murdered by your generals, and now my life and death are uncertain. If I only know what face stands in the world while waiting and standing idly by, wouldn't this be ridiculed by all the people of the world! ”

"If nothing comes of it in January! The old man volunteered to go to Mengde's camp to take the blame and let Mengde deal with it! This matter is all the fault of the old man who believes in the wrong thief, and has nothing to do with the people of Xuzhou. Mengde's 100,000 elite soldiers are in Xuzhou, the sword has no eyes, and the people will be implicated. Why should Mengde implicate his anger on innocent people? I also hope that Meng De can temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for a month. The old man promised that no matter what the result would be after a month, he would give Meng De an explanation! ”

Tao Qian bowed to him on the horse, completely with a generous gesture of righteousness, as if he was ready to make amends for his life at any time and extinguish Cao Cao's anger.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, although he looked sad and angry on the surface, but in fact, his brain was spinning, and he was quickly calculating. After a period of dead silence, Cao Cao deliberately suppressed his anger and hatred, and then showed a little unbearable.

"I also know that if my 100,000 elite soldiers sweep Xuzhou, and the 600,000 people of Xuzhou are wiped out by the war, most of them will be killed and injured. This is really hurtful to heaven and peace, and it is not my intention. However, I, Cao Mengde, as a son of man, if the father of the family, if there is really something wrong, this hatred will not be shared! Old horseman, I swear to pluck my heart and hate the snow! ”

Tao Qian originally listened to Cao Cao's words, and his heart hanging high in his throat just fell, and suddenly saw Cao Cao gritting his teeth, hatred was monstrous, and his face suddenly turned gray and gloomy.

"But! My father's life and death are unknown, if he can avoid the disaster, but I have caused hundreds of thousands of innocent people to die because of your fault, then what is the difference between me and Dong Zhongying in the past!

But! There is no basis for your words, how do I know that you are deliberately delaying time, or inviting rescue troops from other sides, or recruiting soldiers and horses in the rear!? ”

Cao Cao changed his mouth again and again, and one of Tao Qian's hearts was pulled straight up. Tao Qian is an opponent of Cao Cao, who is very deep in the city and good at attacking scheming, and he is led by Cao Cao every step of the way.

"Meng De, the old man knows that he is guilty of a serious crime, how dare he make a fool of himself!"

"Knowing the face but not the heart!! If you really want a one-month truce, then withdraw your troops and horses from Pengcheng and Xiapi counties! ”

Cao Cao finally threw out the deadly fishing net, his words exploded in Tao Qian's ears like a heavy bomb, Xuzhou only Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai, Guangling four counties, let Pengcheng, Xiapi almost half of Xuzhou to Cao Cao's hands. And don't look at Xuzhou, there are only four counties, but the area of each county is very broad. Xuzhou has only four counties, but there are a full eighty county seats!

"This, this!! The matter is big, I don't know if Meng De can give half a day, let the old man and his subordinates discuss, and then make a decision! ”

"Old Puff!! You really have bad intentions!! Where is Xiahou Yuanrang! Prepare the vanguard troops now, prepare for the siege!! ”

Cao Cao's slender and sharp eyes suddenly burst into a burst of bright light, and he screamed sharply. In the large array not far from the rear, after listening to it, Xiahoudun immediately shouted again and again, and the 30,000 vanguard troops shouted in unison, raising a cold spear, the violent battle intent, and the surging momentum frightened Tao Qian's face greatly.
