Chapter 347: The Change of Xiapi
It is said that Cao Bao left the state pastoral mansion depressed and returned home to drink stuffy wine, in the territory of Xuzhou, the military power has always been in his hands, Zang Ba is a bandit background, he is simply looked down upon.
In this battle, not to mention the loss of his own soldiers, and he was robbed of his exploits by Zang Ba, the more he thought about it, the more angry Cao Bao began to pick up the wine jar and drink wildly.
"The head of the family, the second son asks to see!" Just as Cao Bao put down the wine jar, the voice of the butler came from outside the door.
"Hiccup!" A wine burp gushed up, blocking Cao Bao's words vividly.
"Go, please invite the second son!" After finishing speaking, the housekeeper turned away, but before he could take a few steps, he heard Cao Bao speak again: "Slow, Ben will go to meet him in person!" ”
Tonight's Xiapi City is destined to be a sleepless night. In the state pastor's mansion, Tao Qian, who was still in good spirits at the banquet, was now unconscious.
Tao Qian, who was originally discussing the future of Xuzhou with his henchmen, suddenly relapsed from his old illness, and it was only a matter of time before he died, which frightened everyone. Yuan Shu's army has just been defeated, and there is no final conclusion on who will take over Xuzhou, but fortunately, a group of henchmen are inclined to Huo Yu, but there are also some people who are ready to move.
"The eldest son, the second prince has gone to Cao's Mansion!" Just when the potter was heartbroken, his henchman suddenly whispered in his ear.
"Tao Ying!" Suddenly, the potter's eyes became sharp.
Seeing that his father's life is not long, if Tao Ying takes the lead at this time, his chances of controlling Xuzhou will become slim.
Seeing the potter hurrying away, Chen Deng shook his head helplessly. This Tao Qian is good at everything, but these two sons are too uncompetitive, and now the situation in Xuzhou can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, why are the two so confused.
"Alas!" A long sigh.
Tao Qian left suddenly, he didn't leave a will at all, and tonight's Xiapi is destined not to be peaceful!
"That's it! That's it! After finishing speaking, Chen Deng ignored the surprised eyes of the others, flicked his sleeves, and left the state pastoral mansion by himself.
In the barracks, Zang Ba had already been drunk by the three of them at this moment. And Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu are not much better, but Gan Ning is still sober.
"Hiccup... Come on, help the three generals to rest! Gan Ning, who got up slowly, shouted loudly outside the tent.
Wen Shi, several guards opened the tent and sent the three people who were already the most unconscious back to their tents.
Gan Ning, who was surging with alcohol, felt extremely hot and dry, and picked up his big knife and walked out of the tent. Soon, there was a sound of breaking the air in the camp.
"Report! General, someone from outside the battalion claiming to be from the Chen Mansion sent a letter! Gan Ning, who was on the rise of the main dance, was suddenly interrupted by the captain who was patrolling the night.
"Where's the guy?" Gan Ning asked unhappily.
"I'm back in town!" The lieutenant replied truthfully.
"Oh? It's so late at night, how to get out of the city... Hiss.." Gan Ning, who woke up suddenly, quickly stepped forward to open the brocade silk, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
"I almost missed a big thing!" Gan Ning muttered to himself.
"Assemble the troops!" After thinking for a while, Gan Ning immediately ordered.
In Cao's mansion, Tao Ying and Cao Bao hurriedly discussed everything and then left in a hurry, what the two didn't know was that all this had long been under the supervision of someone with a heart.
For Cao Bao, he is still confident in controlling the military power in Xuzhou, not to mention, at this time, Zang Ba has not returned from the city, according to Cao Bao's analysis, I am afraid that he will be unconscious long ago.
"Someone, prepare the car!" Cao Bao shouted outside the door.
"Does the head of the house bring more private soldiers?" The butler outside the door immediately asked cautiously.
"Well, let's all assemble!" Cao Bao nodded with satisfaction.
For everything about himself, the housekeeper in front of him is very clear, and the housekeeper has been loyal to him for so many years, so Cao Bao has done some unsightly things, all of which are done by the housekeeper.
In the state pastor's mansion, looking at Tao Ying who was returning in a hurry, the pottery merchant, as the eldest son, naturally came forward to reprimand one or two.
"Humph! 's father died of illness, and the second brother never forgot to go out and fool around! ”
"Big brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense, of course General Cao must know about his father's death!"
"Oh? Just send someone to this matter, why did the second brother go in person? Isn't there something unsightly? "The potter is unforgiving.
"Big brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense, isn't it that the eldest brother has a weak heart!"
"Thou..."
"Shut up! Tao Muzhou's bones are not cold, how can the two sons be like this! Chen Gui, who had long been unaccustomed to it, immediately opened his mouth and reprimanded.
After receiving Chen Deng's news, Chen Gui, who was already old, didn't care about anything else, and immediately rushed to the state pastoral mansion to preside over the overall situation. For the time being, whether it is a senior or an official position, Chen Gui can afford to take on this responsibility.
"Humph!" The potter and Tao Ying snorted coldly at each other and didn't say much.
In front of the military camp in Xiapicheng, Cao Bao hurried over with more than 300 of his own private soldiers. Because Cao Bao was already in control of the military power in Xuzhou, no one dared to stop him from entering the camp.
It's just that tonight Cao Bao met Sun Guan. Sun Guan followed Tao Qian to pacify the Yellow Turban in Xuzhou with Zang Ba and Yin Li in his early years, and the official worshiped the captain. It's just that they have been squeezed out by the Xuzhou Shida family over the years, especially Cao Bao in front of them, so the two of them met like half enemies and looked at each other angrily.
"Cao Bao, this is an important place in the military camp, you must not trespass!" As soon as they met, Sun Guan shouted unceremoniously.
After being defeated by Ji Ling again, although Cao Bao was not dismissed, he was no longer reused by Tao Qian, so Sun Guan had this provocative remark.
"On official positions, you are under me, you are so rude, come here!" Cao Bao said without showing weakness.
"Who dare!" Sun Guan also drew his sword to greet him, Cao Bao came with private soldiers tonight, there must be no good thing, so Sun Guan shouted to the patrol soldiers in the camp.
Gradually, more and more people at the gate of the barracks accumulated, most of them were Zang Ba's subordinates, and at this moment, Cao Bao's back was in a cold sweat, but since things had come to this point, he couldn't take a step back, so he mustered up the courage to say loudly.
"Soldiers, I am Cao Bao, Zang Ba wants to misrepresent in order to prepare for the Fa-rectification, Sun Guan and others are accomplices! Come and give Ben will take it! Cao Bao's words were not shocking, and this sound came out, which made Zang Ba's subordinates a little confused.
"Cao Bao Hugh wants to talk nonsense! Suffer death! Sun Guan is a rough man, and he starts fighting when he doesn't agree with him, which makes the scene even more chaotic.
Cao Bao, who was not afraid, stepped forward, but after three moves, he took the opportunity to sneak into the private soldiers, and at the same time, his mouth was full of words, and he said it clearly, and for a while, the local defenders of Xiapi were easy for Zang Ba's subordinates to confront each other.
Although Cao Bao's side has the advantage in numbers, fortunately, Sun Guan and Yin Li's subordinates are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles and are not afraid. But after all, the two sides have guarded this city in life and death, and no one is willing to do anything to their robes for a while.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, accompanied by the sound of bells of "jingle bells, jingle bells".
What followed was a shout: "Cao Bao is killed!" ”
