Chapter 050: Another Poison Scheme
The next day, Li Yuan didn't get up until three poles in the morning, and when he saw that the time was not early, he sent someone to Caojiabao to lock the door and ask Cao Qi to provide food and drink for his army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Cao Qi hated it in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately asked people to prepare and sent it to Li Yuan's army, so that it would be noon.
After eating and drinking, Li Yuan was about to take a nap before going out, when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that several women who had been captured by the Beishan Yellow Turban were going to pass through the barracks.
Li Yuan was very strange, the Beishan Yellow Turban thieves have indeed arrested a lot of people over the years, and the men who don't want to be thieves will definitely be locked up or killed, and the women are naturally left behind, or taken as wives, or become maids and servants, how can they suddenly come down the mountain and go home.
Strange, Li Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he said to his own soldiers: "Take them all to my main camp, and this military marquis will ask for an understanding." ”
This pro-soldier is a person who understands, and immediately persuaded: "Lord Junhou, unless there are special circumstances, women cannot enter the barracks, otherwise, if Zhao Sima knows, I am afraid that ......"
"Grandma's, it's really troublesome." Li Yuan immediately came to his senses, cursed, and took his personal team to ask about the situation outside the barracks.
Of course, these women didn't witness the fight scene last night, but they knew the result, and they knew that Cao Ju manipulated the tiger and leopard to help, so they told the story of last night again, and Li Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he didn't react for a long time.
Damn, it's too exaggerated, single-handedly, oh, no horses, no guns, just a single knife, killed all the Yellow Turban thieves in Beishan, is that Cao Ju the reincarnation of Xiang Yu?
Li Yuan is not a fool, of course he will not fully believe the words of these women, and immediately ordered the camp to set off, he wants to go to Beishan in person to see what the situation is like.
At this time, Cao Ju was on his way to send Widow Xing back to her parents' house, which was the result of some discussion between the two.
This time was captured by the Yellow Turban Thieves, and Cao Ju was angry and saved people alone, if Widow Xing returned to Caojiabao at this time, I am afraid that no one would believe that the two of them were innocent. Especially Widow Xing's mother-in-law, she will definitely use this as an excuse to continue to abuse Widow Xing, so it is a good policy to let Widow Xing go back to her parents' house to avoid her for a while.
Among the women rescued by Cao Ju, two were from Xingjia Village, and they happened all the way, so Cao Ju only sent the three widows of Xing to the entrance of Xingjia Village and returned to Caojiabao.
Coincidentally, Xingjia Village and Caojiabao are exactly in the two directions of Beishan, and when Cao Ju returned to Caojiabao from Xingjia Village and passed by Beishan, Li Yuan had already taken his men to Beishan, and there was no encounter in two miles.
Back at Caojiabao, Cao Lun was surprised and delighted to see that Cao Ju had come back safely, and hurriedly went out of the fort to greet him, took his hand, looked Cao Ju up and down, but was not injured, and asked in surprise: "Ah Ju, you... How did you escape? ”
Cao Ju said with a smile: "Thanks to the sudden escape of those people from the prison, causing chaos among the Yellow Turban thieves, I took the opportunity to escape down the mountain. ”
Cao Lunxi said: "Okay, great, it's good to escape, go home quickly, Ah Ju, don't worry about your mother and your sister." ”
"Hmm." Seeing that Cao Lun didn't ask about the news of Widow Xing at all, Cao Ju sighed in his heart, in this era, the status of women is too low.
But it was said that on the north mountain, Li Yuan was walking towards the cottage with a calm face, and there were all dead corpses along the way, most of them were yellow turban thieves, and a small part were ordinary people's clothes.
Grandma's, Li Yuan was shocked and regretted, and scolded secretly, I knew this was the case, Lao Tzu came up the mountain last night, this is good, I missed a lot of credit in vain.
Half an hour later, the search was completed, but no living person could be found, but the number of corpses was counted, sixty-eight corpses of ordinary people, and three hundred and twelve yellow turban thieves, three of whom seemed to be the leader of the cottage.
Moreover, there are almost more than a dozen corpses that seem to have been eaten by tigers and leopards, the flesh and blood are blurred, more than half of the flesh on the body is missing, and the internal organs are also incomplete, which makes Li Yuan secretly frightened, is what those women said true?
If he had killed the Yellow Turban Thief together with the mountain last night, and then took the opportunity to kill Cao Ju and kill all those women, the credit would have been his Li Yuan's, but now that those women have been put back, the matter of Cao Ju's killing of the Yellow Turban in Beishan alone will soon spread, and he Li Yuan will naturally not have any bird relationship.
Suddenly, Li Yuan remembered something again, and immediately called his own soldiers, shouting: "Immediately upload the order of this military marquis, everyone will search Beishan again, don't let go of any corner, and be sure to find out the location of the Yellow Turban Thief's treasure." ”
"Whoa." With the issuance of Li Yuan's order, the officers and men became busy again and began to search in all directions, with chickens, ducks, jumping dogs, and barking indiscriminately.
However, when it was dark, no one found where the treasure of the Beishan Yellow Turban was hidden.
"Impossible." Li Yuan was furious and roared, "The Beishan Yellow Turban is a branch of the Yellow Turban Army, and it has been here for several years, how can there be no gold, silver and jewelry, it must be hidden somewhere." ”
A pro-soldier stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Lord Junhou, the Beishan Yellow Turban was destroyed by Cao Ju last night, and we arrived at three o'clock today, Cao Ju definitely has enough time to transfer all those gold, silver and jewelry." ”
"Hmm." Hearing the words of this pro-soldier, Li Yuan immediately came to his senses, nodded, squinted his eyes, and said hatefully, "Yes, it must have been transferred away by Cao Ju, hum, Cao Ju Xiao'er, you don't want to monopolize the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by the Beishan Yellow Turban for many years." ”
The pro-soldier said again: "Lord Junhou, this time Cao Ju has made such a contribution, he is bound to become famous, Lord Junhou must be careful when he takes action against him." ”
"Hmph." Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course this military marquis understands, but if this evil breath can't come out, I am really unwilling." ”
The pro-soldier smiled slightly and said: "Lord Junhou, in fact, if you want Cao Ju to die without a place to be buried, it is not difficult, but those gold, silver and jewelry have little to do with Lord Junhou. ”
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of this pro-soldier, and laughed and said: "Even if those gold, silver and jewelry are not transferred by Cao Ju, this military marquis cannot be swallowed alone, it would be good to get twenty-one, Zhao San, you kid has a good brain, tell me quickly, what is a good plan to make that Cao Ju die without a place to be buried?" ”
The pro-soldier stepped forward, put his lips to Li Yuan's ear, and whispered something, but Li Yuan's face was happy, and he laughed and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, and it's so simple, then Cao Ju will inevitably die without a place to be buried." ”
