Cao Ren and Cao Hong were originally the commanders and Sima of Qiaocheng, but Qiaocheng belonged to a county in Yuzhou, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were in the same family as Cao Ju, and they were promoted by Cao Ju, so they were naturally branded with Cao Ju's mark.

Now, Cao Ju followed Dong Zhuo, and was ordered by Dong Zhuo to lead the army to attack Kong Ling, but Kong Ling did not deal with Cao Ren and Cao Hong, so before sending troops, Cao Ju sent someone to quickly inform Cao Ren and Cao Hong to leave Qiaocheng and go west to Luoyang.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong also knew that their only way out was to take refuge in Cao Ju, so they did not hesitate to lead their headquarters with 500 men and horses to the west into Luoyang, and when Cao Ju's army was about to arrive in Yangcheng, they met with Cao Ju.

With the attachment of Cao Ren and Cao Hong, almost all the famous generals of the Cao family have come under Cao Ju's camp, and there is still one Cao Xiu Cao Wenlie who is far away in Wu.

Historically, when Cao Cao raised troops to fight against Dong, Cao Xiu rushed all the way from Wu to Cao Cao, and was called the Cao family's Qianli Horse by Cao Cao.

But now, the situation has changed, the four major generals of the Cao family are all under Cao Ju's command, and Cao Cao only has Xiahou in his hands, but Cao Ju is under Dong Zhuo's command, and I don't know if Cao Xiu will come thousands of miles to defect to Cao Ju.

However, although Cao Xiu has not yet been attached, when Cao Ren and Cao Hong defected to Cao Ju, they brought a figure who surprised Cao Ju, who was also from Qian County, named Qin Shao.

Speaking of Qin Shao, there is a small story.

Cao Teng's next generation, that is, Cao Song's generation, has a cousin named Cao Ding, who is Cao Hong's uncle and Cao Xiu's grandfather.

The reason why Cao Ding is good is because his eldest daughter married Song Qi, the nephew of Song Xu, who is the ruling Jinwu Song Xu, and this Song Yu's daughter is the first empress of Emperor Ling, that is, the Song Empress before the He family.

Cao Ding has this relationship with the Song family, and his status is naturally rising, and on his way back to his hometown, officials from almost all over the country and many surrounding states and counties have sent him generous gifts.

As a result, Cao Ding, who had only stood still at the county guard level for more than ten years, was extremely proud, and after returning to his hometown in Qiaocheng, he began to toss as soon as he stabilized his footing.

With the money, Cao Ding's first thing was to purchase real estate and land, and assigned his subordinates to buy all the fields of nearby small families and prepare to build a large manor.

This kind of thing was not a big deal at that time, because the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty regime was inseparable from Liu Xiu's support from the powerful people, and those powerful people became great heroes, some of them entered the official career as officials, and the rest of them built manors, recruited family soldiers, set up streets in the courtyard, cultivated themselves, raised cattle and sheep, and it was almost a small city, and these heroes were the predecessors of the big landlords.

However, for the poor, there are two kinds, one is the land-owned free man, that is, the small family.

This kind of person, although he has been farming for generations and poor for generations, is free, free, and happy, relying on the little land handed down by his ancestors. And Cao Dingjian Manor, it is inevitable to buy some land, although the price is not low, but it cuts off the long-term source of life for those people, and gives them money at one time.

For the poor, if they have no land, they can only go to be tenants, and from now on they can only eat with the Cao family.

No matter how much money Cao Ding gives, whether it is ten years or twenty years, there will always be a day when it will be spent. At that time, their children and grandchildren can only become tenants of the Cao family, and they will be beaten and scolded by the Cao family, and their status will naturally change completely.

Of course, there will be many people who do not agree to sell land, but the Cao family is powerful, and these people dare not speak out, but only one person stands up and provokes trouble, and that is Qin Shao and Qin Bonan.

Qin Shao is known for his bravery, and he came alone to find Cao Ding's trouble, but he met Cao Ren, and after a fight, he actually fought a draw, which made Cao Ren sympathize with him, and encouraged the people of the Cao family to persuade Cao Ding, so that Cao Ding canceled the plan to buy land and build a manor.

Qin Shao, and Cao Ren naturally became friends of life and death, some time ago, Cao Ju returned to his hometown and province, killed Wang Hu, and recommended Cao Ren to be the county governor. Cao Ren also promoted Qin Shao and made a county Sima, so that there were three county Simas in Qian County, each leading 3,500 people.

This time, Cao Ren and Cao Hong defected to Cao Ju, and of course Cao Ren would not leave Qin Shao behind, so he asked Qin Shao to take his family and go to Cao Ju's tent together.

Qin Shao, who is equivalent to Cao Ren's force, is definitely a fierce general, and Qin Shao has a son, who is even more famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, that is, Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen's original name was Qin Zhen, because Qin Shao was friendly with Cao Cao in history, because Cao Ding bought land and got acquainted, and later because of Cao Cao's righteous help, Qin Shao died in Huangquan in order to repay his kindness, Cao Cao accepted Cao Zhen as a righteous son, changed his name to Cao Zhen, and the treatment was no different from Cao Cao's parent-child Cao Pi and others.

Cao Ju knew that Qin Shao's son Qin Zhen was the historical Cao Zhen, and he was naturally overjoyed in his heart, this Qin Shao and Qin Zhen's father and son were just like Huang Zhong and Huang Xu's father and son, two generations of heroes.

It's just that Qin Shao and Qin Zhen's father and son died early, and their son later became heroes, while Huang Zhong and Huang Xu's father and son were just the opposite, Huang Xu died early, and Huang Zhong later shocked the world because he killed Xiahou Yuan.

Qin Shao followed Cao Ren to Cao Ju, but because his family followed, he could not go east with the army, so he first escorted his family to Luoyang City to settle down, and then returned to the army.

After the plan to lure the enemy out of the city was decided, Cao Ju continued to leave Ganning's army of 5,000 men and horses to wave flags and shout at the east gate of Yangcheng, beating drums and shaking the sky, but he did not attack the city.

Then, Cao Juqin led a large army, quietly bypassed Yangcheng, and marched towards Yangzhai City.

The next day, the scout brought the news back to Yangcheng, and the Sima named Li Cheng was shocked, and immediately summoned several generals to discuss countermeasures, but it took more than half an hour to discuss and discuss, and finally reached an agreement, that is, on the one hand, send scouts to report the news to Kong Ling, and on the other hand, divide troops to chase Cao Ju's army.

However, before Li Cheng could start the execution, he heard a report from the sergeant, saying that there was a scholar outside the door, holding Kong Ling's letter, asking to see Sima Li Cheng.

When Zhao Li was killed, Li Cheng had already sent someone to report to Kong Ling, thinking that Kong Ling would send another leading general over and increase his troops in Yangcheng, but he didn't want to send only one scholar over.

Since it was sent by Kong Ling, Li Cheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the sergeant to invite him over.

After a while, a young scholar dressed in white came in, about 20 years old, with a Chinese face, a mustache, and a very tenacious expression. ”
