Chapter 106: Cao Cao slaughtered the city

When Ying Shao's sergeants saw the letter, they knew that the matter was important and hurriedly reported it to Cao Cao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Cao received the letter, opened it and looked at it, cried loudly, and fainted to the ground.

The crowd hurried to wake up.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "Tao Qian killed my father with his army, this revenge is not shared!" I am raising an army today to wash Xuzhou, Fang Xue hates in my heart! ”

In fact, Cao Cao has long been dissatisfied with Tao Qian, and the rich land of Xuzhou is even more red-eyed, and now his father and family were killed by Tao Qian's subordinates, how can he not take the opportunity to raise troops for revenge?

Cao Cao ordered the whole army to wear filial piety, set up the banner of "revenge and hatred", and said through gritted teeth: "I must use the blood of Xuzhou to wash away the loss of my father." "Leaving Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Cao Ren to lead 30,000 troops to defend Yanzhou, raise a large army, and make Xiahou Chun, Yu Ban, and Cao Hong the vanguard, and go to Xuzhou.

The news spread, and the world was in an uproar.

The sages and celebrities couldn't bear to see the people of Xuzhou being poisoned, and they went to dissuade them.

The original Jiujiang was too guarded by the border, familiar with Tao Qian and Cao Cao, and when he heard that Xuzhou was in trouble, he went to Cao Cao to write to Cao Cao, don't kill the people in vain, and Cao Cao ignored it. Bian Rang was angry and angry, and organized 5,000 domestic slaves and village warriors to save Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was furious, and ordered Xiahou Chun to intercept and kill poor Bian Rang halfway, with benevolence and righteousness, turned into curling smoke, how could five thousand rabble be Xiahou Chun's opponent? It was crushed with a single blow, and Bian Rang was also killed by the rebels.

Chen Gong, who left Cao Cao, served as Dongjun at this time, and when he heard the news, he was shocked and angry, and came to see Cao overnight.

Cao Cao knew that he was a lobbyist for Tao Qian, but he didn't want to see it, but he was not an old favor, so he had to be invited into the account.

Chen Gong said: "The Ming Duke came to Xuzhou with a large army to avenge his father's revenge, and killed the people wherever he went, which really hurts the heavens. Tao Qian is a benevolent gentleman, not a person who forgets righteousness, and the murder of his father is really sad. This is Zhang Min's evil alone, not Tao Qian's intention. Besides, what enmity do the people of Xuzhou have against the Duke of Ming? Kill ominous. Wang Minggong thought twice. ”

Cao Cao was furious: "Gong abandoned me in the past, what face does he have to see me again?" Tao Qian killed my family, and vowed to pluck out his heart and hate him with Xuewu! Although the public lobbied for Tao Qian, I didn't want to hear it! Chen Gong withdrew angrily and sighed: "I don't have the face to see Tao Qian anymore!" So he rode his horse to Chen and stayed too guarded by Zhang Miao.

Wherever Cao Cao's army went, he killed all the people, excavated the graves, and searched all the funeral belongings.

Tao Qian heard Cao Cao's atrocities in Xuzhou, and looked up to the sky and wept bitterly: "I am guilty of heaven, causing the people of Xuzhou to suffer this great calamity!" "Gather together all the generals and counsellors to take counsel.

Cao Bao, the governor of Xuzhou, said: "Cao Bing has arrived, how can he be tied to death!" I am willing to lead my troops to destroy the enemy. ”

Tao Qian allocated 30,000 elite soldiers to Cao Bao as the striker, and brought 50,000 as the guard to welcome Cao Cao.

From a distance, I saw Cao Jun like frost and snow, and the Chinese army erected two white flags, with the words "revenge and hatred" in the big book. The military horses formed a formation, and Cao manipulated the horses out of the battle, wearing a vegetarian shirt, and scolded with a whip. Before Tao Qian stepped out of the horse formation, he bowed and said, "I wanted to marry Ming Gong, so I sent Zhang Min to escort me." I don't want Zhang Min to change his heart and lead to a tragedy, I am deeply saddened. I am willing to take the culprit and avenge the Ming Gong, and ask the Ming Gong to withdraw from the army, please don't hurt the innocent people. Wangming Gong Ming Ming Ming Investigation. ”

Cao Cao scolded: "Old horseman! Kill my father and family, and dare to talk nonsense! Who will take the old thief alive with me? Xiahou Chun came out in response, Tao Qian retreated into the formation, Xiahou Chun rushed over, Cao Bao jumped on his horse with a spear, and came to meet the enemy.

The two horses intersected, but in dozens of rounds, Cao Bao was defeated and retreated, and Tao Qian had to abandon Pengcheng and retreat to Tancheng.

After Tao Qian entered the city, he once again gathered everyone to discuss, and said with tears on his face: "Cao thieves are so powerful that it is difficult to resist, I can't bear Cao thieves to slaughter innocent people, I am willing to go to Cao Ying and let him dispose of it, as long as I can save the lives of the people of Xuzhou." ”

One person said: "Tao Gongjiu Town Xuzhou, the people are grateful." Now although Cao Bing is powerful, he can't break Tancheng immediately, as long as Tao Gong and the people stick to it, don't come out, although a certain is not talented, I am willing to use a small strategy to teach Cao ** There is no place to bury! And they were overjoyed, and they were anxious to ask what the plan was.

The original person who offered the plan, a native of Qu County, Donghai, surnamed Mi, named Zhu, and the word Zizhong. This person is a wealthy family, and it is rumored that Mi Zhu once went to Luoyang to do business, and on the way home, he met a beautiful woman on the way. The beautiful woman begged Mi Zhu to take a ride, and Mi Zhu gave the carriage to the woman to sit on, and got out of the car and walked by herself. The woman asked Mi Zhu to be in the same car, Mi Zhu could not refuse, and sat still at the back end of the car, not looking evil. After walking for several miles, the woman took her leave. Before parting, he said to Mi Zhu: "I am the Southern Fire De Xingjun, and I was ordered by the Jade Emperor to burn down your house, thank you for treating me politely, so I tell you." Come back quickly, and bring out your belongings, and I will come tonight. "It's out of sight.

Mi Zhu was shocked, rushed home, and moved everything out of the house. Sure enough, that night, the kitchen was on fire, and the house was burned.

Mi Zhu Huo De Xingjun's grace, since then the family wealth, help the poor, and was later hired by Tao Qian as a driver.

Mi Zhu offered a plan: "A certain person is willing to go to Beihai County and ask Kong Rong to raise troops to rescue; He had to go to Tiankai in Qingzhou for help. If the two armies and horses come together, they will retreat. ”

Tao Qian was overjoyed, wrote two letters, and asked, "Who dares to go to Qingzhou for help." "One man responded.

Everyone saw that this person's surname was Chen, his name was Deng, his name was Yuanlong, and he was from Guangling. Tao Qian was overjoyed, handed the letter to the two, and told them to go back quickly, and lead the crowd to defend Tancheng.

Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, the twentieth grandson of Confucius, once served as the general of the Tiger Ben. Kong Rong controlled the government of Dong Table and decided to abolish the emperor, and he did everything to persuade Dong Table with great righteousness, but Dong Table was extremely impatient. At that time, the Beihai Yellow Turban was in full bloom, and Dong Table had a plan to admit students, and recommended Kong Rong to be the minister of Beihai and come to govern and educate Beihai.

Kong Rong was anxious for justice and righteousness, and when he received Tao Qian's letter, he was extremely indignant at what Cao Cao had done. Prepare to go to Xuzhou to help,

At this time, Guan Hai, the remnant of the Yellow Turban, led 100,000 troops to borrow grain, shouting: "If you don't borrow grain, you will break through the city and wash the North Sea in blood." ”

Kong Rong said angrily: "How can I, an important minister of the court, be in the same stream as the thief and not borrow." ”

Guan Hai was furious and led an army of 100,000 to attack the city day and night.

Kong Rong ordered Wu Anguo to defend the city, waited for Guan Hai to retreat, and took Mi Zhu to drink in Taishou Mansion.

On this day, Captain Wu Anguo had just defeated the second attack of the Yellow Turban Army, and was patrolling the city, when he suddenly saw a horse in the distance suddenly coming from afar, going straight to the city, shouting to open the door, and then the Yellow Turban Army came, turned around and rushed to kill again, killed the Yellow Turban Army, and came to the city gate again.

Wu Anguo asked loudly, "Who is coming?" The person who came shouted: "Donglai Taishi Ci has come to help Kong Beihai on the order of his mother." ”

Wu Anguo was overjoyed when he heard this, and opened the door and invited him in.

Tai Shi Ci, the word Ziyi, Donglai Huang County, studious since childhood, has a brave name in the township, fine cavalry shooting, once played Cao Shi for Donglai, because of the discord between Donglai County and Qingzhou Thorn History, Thorn Shi because of a matter to the court on the county guard. The county guard was afraid of being treated unfairly by the court, so he sent Tai Shici to Luoyang to plead his case.

After Tai Shici received the approval order of the county guard, he traveled day and night, rushed to Luoyang before the small officials in the state, deceived the small officials under the pretext, damaged the concerto, and handed the county recital to the court, and the county guard's opinion was taken seriously and his reputation was greatly enhanced.

Tai Shi Ci was worried about the revenge of the assassin and fled to Liaodong for refuge. After Kong Rong took office as the minister of Beihai, he was very surprised when he heard about Tai Shi Ci, and he appreciated Tai Shi Ci's behavior, knowing that Tai Shi Ci's mother was at home alone, and often sent people to fund some money. Beihai was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army, Tai Shi Ci had just returned from Liaodong, and his mother asked Tai Shi Ci to come to help Beihai.

Tai Shi Ci saw Kong Rong, thanked him for taking care of his mother, and asked to lead his troops to retreat from the enemy.

Kong Rong said: "Although Kong Zhuangshi is brave, but the Yellow Turban Army is strong, I am afraid that it is not for this reason, but unfortunately no one can go out of the city to bring rescue soldiers." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "I don't know where the adults want to ask for help? ”

Kong Rong said: "Liu Bei, the plain minister, the hero of the world, is benevolent and faithful. If you can ask him, you will come to the rescue, but unfortunately no one can break through and send a letter. ”

Tai Shi Ci said loudly: "The grass people are willing to go!" ”

Kong Rong said: "The Yellow Turban Army is tightly besieged, and it is extremely difficult to break through. ”

Tai Shi Ci said proudly: "Although there are thousands of troops, the grass people are not afraid, and the grass people are willing to go." ”

Kong Rong said: "That's it, be careful on the road!" Then a letter was handed to Tai Shici.

Tai Shici put away the letter, said goodbye and left the house, and discussed the breakthrough with the commander Wu Anguo.

For two days in a row, Tai Shici, after one person and two horses protruded through the city gate, he encountered the interception of the Yellow Turban Army, so he shot with a bow and arrow, and returned after shooting. By the third day, the Yellow Turban Army thought that Tai Shici was still the same as yesterday, and he was not holding on to it. Tai Shi Ci took this opportunity to break out of the camp, and the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly intercepted it, and was shot down by Tai Shi Ci in a row, and broke out of the camp.
