This time, he should be ordered by Shao to receive Cao Cao's pastor in Yanzhou, and came to pick up Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, to go to Yanzhou.

When approaching Huaxian, a horse suddenly came to him, and the person on the horse jumped down and said urgently: "Envoy, it's not good, Cao Taigong was killed by Tao Qian's soldiers and horses." ”

"What!" Ying Shao's face changed greatly, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "Cao Taigong was killed?" Have you seen it with your own eyes? ”

The man hurriedly said: "The villain went to Cao's Mansion to report on the order of the envoy, and he didn't want to go outside Cao's Mansion, but suddenly saw five or six hundred Xuzhou soldiers killed in Cao's Mansion, and all the guards and servants in the palace were killed, and Cao Taigong also ...... The villain didn't dare to stay, so he rushed to report to the envoy. ”

"How so? How so? Ying Shao's face was pale, he was ordered by Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao to come to pick up Cao Song's family, but because he was delayed for some time to avoid the soldiers and horses of Yin Li and others, he didn't want Cao Song to be harmed, if Cao Cao knew, he would definitely not let him go.

Ying Shao wandered two steps, looked around the left and right, and said solemnly: "Near Cao Yanzhou's father and younger brother were killed, if he asks for the crime, we will not escape death, I am determined to leave Mount Tai and go to Jizhou to join Yuan Benchu, are you willing to go with me?" ”

The soldiers were also afraid of Cao Cao's anger, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to follow the envoy!" ”

Ying Shao immediately stopped hesitating, turned around, and went straight to Jizhou, but some people fled quietly along the way, and Ying Shao ignored it.

……

Xuzhou, Yinping County, Donghai County, Cao Cao was discussing the war in Xuzhou with Xi Zhicai, and suddenly someone rushed in and made an urgent report: "Lord, something is wrong." ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "What's so big about it?" ”

The man cried: "Lord, Old Lady Cao was killed by Tao Qian's troops!" ”

When Xi Zhicai heard this, his complexion changed greatly, and he couldn't help but look up at Cao Cao opposite.

Thump! Cao Cao sat down on the seat all of a sudden, his face colorless: "Is the news true?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "It was Ying Shao's subordinates who came to report, Ying Shao failed to save Taigong and fled to Jizhou, and his subordinates came to report the news." ”

Half a day later, Cao Cao's 30,000 army from Yinping, day and night, went north straight into Taishan Fei County, Hua County, 30,000 troops frantically attacked, Yin Li and Wu Dun, who had captured Fei County and Hua County, were suddenly defeated, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and hurriedly retreated east into Linyi County, Langya State, and then were chased all the way to Kaiyang by Cao Cao's army.

In Kaiyang, Cao Cao and Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Chang Feng started a big battle, he commanded Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Li Dian, Lu Qian, Shi Lian, Ren Jun, plus Bao Xin sent to help Yu Ban several generals are all very brave, Zang Ba, Sun Guan's soldiers and horses have been defeated and retreated, especially Le Jin and Yu Ban, successively defeated Zang Ba and Chang Xuan, forcing them to refuse to defend the city.

Cao Cao couldn't attack the city for a while, so he led a large army from Kaiyang to the south to Donghai County, and attacked Tan County, Tao Qian was terrified in the city.

Under the city, Cao Cao, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, had red eyes, glared at Tan County, and ordered a fierce attack, wave after wave without stopping.

Xi Zhicai beside him saw Cao Cao in grief and irritability, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Lord, it has been three days since the siege of the city, the army has been running for thousands of miles, fighting day after day, exhausted, Tan County is strong and tall, so fiercely attacked, heavy losses." ”

Cao Cao pointed to the city and gritted his teeth: "If I don't catch Tao Qian's puppet this time, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "It's just that now that the food and grass in the army have been exhausted, the army may not be able to support it for a long time." ”

"Running out of food?" Cao Cao's bloodshot eyes glanced at Xi Zhicai: "Then take grain from Xuzhou!" ”

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Cao Ren, who was also wearing filial piety on the side, and his voice was dull: "Zixiao, give the order to collect the troops, the army will go south, I will slaughter the East China Sea and Xiapi, seize the grain and grass, and avenge my father!" ”

"Lord!" Xi Zhicai changed his color and said: "By all means, if the city is slaughtered, the lord will be rare in Xuzhou, and the people will be innocent......"

Cao Cao interrupted him, and his thick eyebrows shrugged angrily: "The people are innocent, how about my father!" Those who attach Tao Qian will be killed! Order, the army goes south! ”

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, who was striding away, was silent for a long time, sighed, and a gloomy color flashed in his eyes.

……

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Zhongping, the imperial court granted amnesty to the world and changed the Yuan to Xingping.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Xie, the 15-year-old son of heaven, held a crowning ceremony.

In Xuzhou, Kwantung, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses went south from Tan County, slaughtering all the way, the people of Donghai County because they were in the center of the war, they had already hidden in the fort and the city, and Cao Cao's army did not attack the city, but went all the way south and rushed into the country of Xiapi.

Xia Pi Xiang Rong was originally a Buddhist believer, with the help of power, looting money, building Buddhist temples and floating pagodas, gathering tens of thousands of Buddhist believers on weekdays to hold a bathing Buddha meeting, in Xuzhou has a great influence, the reputation is very high, but there is no military talent, he learned that Cao Cao's army attacked the country of Xiapi, immediately took his soldiers and Buddhist believers a total of more than 10,000 people, and 3,000 horses, transported property, and fled south to Guangling County.

Xiapi lost the protection of soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao's army poured into Xiapi without hindrance, looting grain, grass and winter clothes, and wantonly slaughtering, especially the main Qingzhou soldiers under his command, like locusts crossing the border, countless innocent people fell under the butcher's knife, and Xiapi cried and wailed.

……

Qingzhou, Donglai County, Zhang Liao brought Cao Song back, in his opinion, Cao Song was saved, Cao Cao should not have a radical move, so he didn't pay attention to the matter of Xuzhou, just dedicated to arranging the defense of Gongsun Du, Donglai County has now moved a lot of people, and it is also an important stronghold for him, and there is no room for loss.

For this reason, he dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses from Dian Wei to come, preparing to follow Guo Jia's policy, first show the enemy to be weak, introduce Gongsun Du's water army to the shore, besiege and gather annihilation, and hurt Gongsun Du, so that he did not dare to watch Donglai for a while, and the rear was stable, so that he could free up his energy to plan the affairs of Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Dian Wei and three thousand soldiers and horses have arrived secretly, resting in Changguang County, Zhang Liaozheng and Dian Wei reminisced, asked about the situation in the north and stability, and by the way instructed Dian Wei some military techniques, at this time Shi A hurriedly came in: "Lord, shadow news, Cao Cao can't capture Tan County, go south to Xia Pi State, and slaughter the city." ”

Zhang Liao, who was talking and laughing, disappeared with a smile on his face, turned his head to look at the topographic map of Xuzhou hanging on the wall, was silent for a moment, and looked at Dian Wei: "Assemble the tigers and follow me to Xuzhou." ”

Then he turned to look at Shi A: "Ordered Tai Shi Ci and Hao Zhao to guard Donglai, act according to the plan, and you will bring 400 blows to Xuzhou with me." ”

"Whoa!"

Shi A was ordered to withdraw, he had been by Zhang Liao's side, he was very familiar with Zhang Liao, he knew that Zhang Liao's murderous intent was very strong at this time, and his eyes also flashed with murderous intent He was born as a civilian, and he hated soldiers slaughtering innocent people the most.

……

Cao Cao stood on a hill, wearing armor, wrapped in filial piety clothes, holding a long sword, and coldly watched his soldiers wreak havoc.

At this time, Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked over and said breathlessly: "Lord, lord, someone came to report the news and said...... said that Cao Taigong was still alive......"

"What!" Cao Cao's body was shocked, and his eyes widened: "But really? Who delivered the message? Bring it quickly! ”

"The man has been brought!" Xi Zhicai pointed behind him, and saw Ren Jun hurrying over with a person who looked like a guard.

As soon as Cao Cao saw the guard, his eyes lit up: "You are Cao Ping!" Where is my father? ”

The guard Cao Ping panted and said, "My lord, Cao Gong rushed to Qingzhou. ”

"Qingzhou?" Cao Cao's eyes stared at Cao Ping, and he asked urgently, "How can there be rumors that my father was killed by Tao Qian?" ”

Cao Ping hurriedly said: "Tao Qian sent someone to kill Cao Gong, many guards and servants in the house were killed, when it was critical, it was Zhang Qingzhou who rushed to save Cao Gong and the young son, and then Cao Gong insisted on going to Qingzhou, sent the villain and a few guards to deliver the letter, I didn't want to meet the fleeing Tao Qian thieves on the way, killed the other three, the villain escaped by luck, did not dare to slack off, all the way to find the eldest prince......"

"Qingzhou Mu, Zhang Wenyuan, saved my father? Hahahaha...... Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed: "I should respect Zhang Wenyuan!" ”

Xi Zhicai hurriedly said: "Since the Taigong has not been killed, this massacre should be stopped immediately." ”
