Chapter 163: Misfortune Leads to the East
Taishan Hua County, in the courtyard of Cao Song's family, it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, in the afternoon, the sun is high in the air, hot like fire, as if to burn everything to ashes. Cao Song was sitting on a stone bench under the tree drinking tea and enjoying the shade.
"Father, the eldest brother sent a letter, saying that he would pick us up and Yanzhou Chenliu!" Cao Dexing rushed over, still holding Cao Cao's letter in his hand.
"Come on! Let me see! Cao Song took Cao Cao's letter and looked at it briefly.
Cao Song put down the letter, frowned and thought for a while, for a long time, he put down the letter in his hand and took a sip of tea: "De'er, inform those aunts of yours, hurry up and pack up your belongings, we will leave here tonight!" ”
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Cao De was puzzled.
"Well, we have to leave secretly, we can't alarm the local officials, let alone Tao Qian, once Tao Qian is alarmed, I'm afraid he will hold us hostage to persecute Meng De! So, leaving overnight is the best option! Cao Song explained.
"De'er understands, De'er will go and inform a few aunts!" Cao De turned around and entered the house.
"De'er, when will you be able to have half of Meng De's breath!" Looking at Cao De's back, Cao Song sighed, then looked at the letter in his hand again, and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Head! Are these people the ones we asked us to kill? Outside the courtyard where Cao Song lived, a group of people in black were silently watching the courtyard.
"Yes, that old man is Cao Song, our main target in this attack!" The leader nodded, pointed at Cao Song and said.
"Head, let's rush in now and kill them! These people are no match for us! A man in black said, drawing his sword.
"No!" The leader hurriedly stopped the man's movements, "We have to pretend that the Xuzhou army killed these people!" Splash this dirty water on Tao Qian's body! ”
"This ...... What to do? Several people scratched their heads, saying that they couldn't think of a countermeasure.
"Hehe, it's not easy, listen to me, ...... for a while Here's how we ...... Such...... And then ...... in the evening In this way...... "Before coming, Li Ru had already told the leader all the plans, and at this time he began to deploy.
That night, Cao Song led his family to quietly leave Taishan Huaxian and went straight to Chen Liu.
Haoyue is in the sky, you can see the faces of the opposite person clearly without igniting a fire, and along the way, Cao Song is looking for shortcuts in order to reach Chenliu as soon as possible.
"They're there! Don't let them run! Walking until the sky was bright, suddenly, a Xuzhou soldier and horse rushed out from behind them and chased them.
Cao Song was shocked, when was his whereabouts exposed? He hurriedly stopped and sat down on the horse, calming down his mood, "I don't know how many officials, what's the matter with looking for the little old man?" ”
"Huh? You're Cao Song, right? The soldier in the lead looked Cao Song up and down and asked.
"The little old man is Cao Song, I don't know what happened to the officials?" Cao Song was even more shocked, but since he had been recognized, he simply stopped hiding it.
"Hehe, Mr. Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time, my Lord Tao misses you very much, and I want to invite Mr. Cao to the house as a guest!" The leader said.
"What?" Cao Song was shocked, could it be that Tao Qian had already realized that they were going to escape? It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible!
"Hehe, you want to escape, but you have been discovered by my family, go back with me quickly!" The leader said with a smile.
"Run!" Cao Song was shocked, the matter had really been revealed, go back with them? Visiting Tao Qian's Mansion? Isn't that looking for death? Rather than that, it is better to run for your life directly, and there is still hope of survival.
Hearing Cao Song say this, his concubines, including Cao De, were all shocked and fled in all directions.
"Still want to escape? Kill them all! Don't leave any of them, just catch this old man and go back! The leader smiled and ordered his soldiers.
When the soldiers received the order, they drew their swords and chased after the scattered fleeers, but they did not chase Cao De.
"You guys! You are not Xuzhou soldiers!! Seeing the actions of these soldiers, Cao Song, who was captured, suddenly realized and exclaimed. Their appearance is obvious, they killed all these people, and then let Cao De go alone, what will Cao De think? Of course, he would think that the person who chased and killed him was the Xuzhou army!
"Hehe, the old man is quite smart!" The leader praised slightly.
"Haha, what a disaster! I wonder if Xiao Lao'er was lucky enough to learn the name of this mastermind before he died? Cao Song smiled weakly.
"My husband's surname is Jia Mingxu, and the words are harmonious! On Huangquan Road, don't report the wrong name! The leader said gloomily, and then the knife on Cao Song's neck slashed hard, and in an instant, Cao Song's head fell to the ground.
"Okay, the battlefield doesn't need to be cleaned up, out of Xuzhou, burn these sets of clothes, and we're done!" Leading the way.
"Head, according to your plan, we chased that Cao De, chased it far away, and pretended not to catch up!" said with one hand.
"Okay, let the frightened Cao De report to Cao Cao! Hahaha! The leader mounted his horse and led the group away.
A few days later, Cao De, who fled for his life in embarrassment, finally arrived at Chenliu.
"Report, Lord Qiqi, there is a person outside the mansion, who claims to be your brother, named Cao De, I don't know ......" A soldier interrupted Cao Cao, who was deliberating.
"Cao De? You mean Ade is coming? Let him in! The discussion was interrupted, and Cao Cao was very unhappy, but as soon as he heard that Cao De had arrived, all the unhappiness disappeared.
"But this man is unkempt and ragged, and this ......," the soldier hesitated.
"What?!" Cao Cao was shocked, could it be that something happened on the way back? Cao Cao hurriedly left a group of civil and military officers there, got up and came to the outside of the mansion alone.
I saw a man outside the house, as the soldier had said, unkempt and ragged. Cao Cao looked carefully, it was indeed his brother Cao De!
"Ade? How did you become like this? Cao Cao asked.
"Wow!" Seeing Cao Cao, Cao De couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly burst into tears, "Big brother! Father...... Father was ...... Killed by Tao Qian's dog thief! You want...... You want to avenge your father! Woowoowoo......"
"What ??" Listening to Cao Song's words, Cao Cao suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
"What's going on?!! Tell me quickly! Cao Cao hurriedly asked Cao De.
"Yes, big brother, we received your letter that day......" Cao De began to recall the events of that day.
"Someone! Raise your troops! I'm going to attack Xuzhou! Without thinking about it, Cao Cao immediately ordered.
