In the second year of Chuping (191), the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army made great progress, broke Yanzhou counties and counties, and beheaded Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoJibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao as Yanzhou pastor. Cao Cao and Bao Xin joined forces to attack the Yellow Turbans. Bao Xin died in battle. Cao Cao "set up a strange ambush and fought day and night", and finally defeated the Yellow Turban. In the winter of that year, more than 300,000 people were killed, and the population was more than 1 million. Cao Cao collected its elite, formed an army, called the Qingzhou soldiers, and since then has been dominant in the Central Plains, which is a rare strong person in the world. Under the command of Wu Jiji, there are opera Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Bao Xin, Wu Dianwei, Xiahou brothers, Cao brothers, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Le Jin, strong soldiers and horses.
As the saying goes, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, after Cao Cao stabilized Yanzhou, there was no war outside, and there were two great talents presided over by Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, and decided to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Cao Cao's ancestral home is Peiguo County, Yuzhou, and belongs to the Yanzhou Yuzhou junction zone. In May of the second year of Hanzhongping in 191 AD, Cao Cao settled everything in Puyang and returned to Qian County with his family, military generals and relatives.
A few days after the trip, Cao Cao and the others had just arrived at the border of the Liang Kingdom, and when they arrived at the edge of a forest, the face of the commander of the guards, Dian Weihu, changed his complexion, pulled out his halberd and shouted: "Be on guard! There's blood in the woods! ”
When Cao Cao and the others heard this, their faces changed, Xiahou Tang sniffed vigorously, and then leaned in the direction of the woods and listened to Cao Cao, and said to Cao Cao in a deep voice: "Lord, what a bloody gas!" There is still the sound of gold and iron clashing in the forest! ”
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, jumped off his war horse and said, "I'm afraid someone has encountered mountain bandits!" The smell of blood is so strong, many people have already died! After a pause, he said, "Cao Hong, you will take ten people to guard the horses and supplies here, and the rest will dismount and follow me in to have a look!" After closing the words, he carried the Qinghong Sword and walked into the forest surrounded by Dian Wei, Xiahoudun and others.
As the smell of blood in the air became heavier and heavier, Cao Cao and Dian Wei finally came to an open area with their personal guards. After arriving, although everyone had already prepared, they were still taken aback! I saw several carriages tilted and dumped in front, and nearly a hundred corpses lying on the ground, including men and women, old and young, the only thing that was the same was that these people were wearing silk cloth house slave costumes, which showed that they should be the house slaves of a certain family! The death of these corpses was horrific, many of them were bloody and fleshy, and more than one was slashed! Some of the corpses had their limbs amputated! And apparently he was killed by a severed throat after his leg was amputated first.
Seeing this, Cao Cao frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's a bloodthirsty bandit here!" After speaking, he motioned for everyone to come forward to check the corpses, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to check and collect the corpses all over the ground.
Cao Cao walked carefully to see if there were any survivors, walked to the side of a fallen carriage, and suddenly grabbed Cao Cao's ankle, startled Cao Cao to take a few steps back, and Dian Wei and Xiahoudun around him also drew their swords in their hands, Cao Cao exhaled and saw an old man in a housekeeper's costume covered in blood, his eyes were weakly open and looked at them, and he said intermittently: "This ...... The general...... Ask the general...... Ask the general for help...... My Master...... Madame, Childe! After the old man finished speaking, he swallowed his breath and stared at Cao Cao with his eyes wide open, as if Cao Cao would get up if he did not agree.
Seeing this, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Old man, go away in peace, I should lead someone to rescue!" ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, the dead old man's angry eyes slowly closed, and his forward arm also fell down.
Suddenly, there was a faint cry of a woman and the shouts of bandits in the dense forest on the left, Cao Cao and the others followed the sound to the dense forest, and the scene that caught their eyes made Cao Cao, Dian Wei and the guards almost blow up their lungs!
I saw more than a dozen bandits with obscene smiles on their faces surrounding a woman dressed as a maid, and a strong man as strong as an ox rode the maid and tore the maid's clothes vigorously! The maid struggled in pain, crying and begging!
Seeing this, Cao Cao shouted violently: "The thief dares! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Wei next to him threw the halberd in his hand fiercely, only to see that the halberd with a burst of shouts, a loud bang passed through the heart of a bandit, and then pierced the head of the strong man who was committing violence, and then the remaining momentum was unabated and nailed through the big tree not far away, shaking the big tree violently, the halberd sank deep into the trunk, and there was a bloody black heart at the end that was still beating!
The corpses of the robbers who had been cut open and the strong man who had lost his head shook and fell to the ground with a bang! The bandits who were stunned by the loud shouts next to them came back to their senses at this time, and a bandit who seemed to be the leader of the bandits turned his head to look at the location of Cao Cao and the others, but saw that Dian Wei had approached him, and he was immediately frightened.
The bandit leader was stunned, but Dian Wei didn't, I saw Dian Wei take out an iron halberd from his waist and wipe it flat, and the leader of the bandit leader rushed into the air, and then Dian Wei was like a tiger into the flock, his footsteps kept changing positions, the iron halberd in his hand or thorn or chop or chop or tease or point or hit, every time he waved, a bandit fell to the ground and died, and when Cao Cao and the guards approached Dian Wei, these bandits were all killed!
After Dian Wei slaughtered these more than ten bandits, the woman in the maid costume said loudly: "General, please save my family's master, wife, and little son!" ”
"Where are the head of the Ru family, the lady, and the little son?" Cao Cao approached and asked.
"When the head of the family, his wife, and the little son returned from his mother's house, Hou Gongzi went to Peiguo with his wife. We met more than 1,000 Mengze Mountain bandits here, and we were invincible, so I asked Hou Gongzi to lead nearly 100 soldiers to escort his wife's carriage and flee to Peiguo, and we led away this group of bandits! Unexpectedly, the bandits were so powerful that they killed all the soldiers in a short time! When the group of evil bandits saw that our wife and little son were not here, they led more than 800 bandits to pursue ......! The maid said calmly.
"How long has it been?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked.
"About a stick of incense! There are only a dozen horses in the bandits! The maid said.
"Lu Chang, you take people here to clean up, collect corpses, and treat the wounded! The rest will go to the rescue with me! After Cao Cao finished speaking, he led the people behind him to run out of the forest.
Outside the forest, Cao Cao still left Deng Zhan and others to guard the sycophants and materials, and he and Dian Wei and Xiahou Tang threw down the rest of the guards to chase in the direction that the maid said.
After chasing for more than ten miles, Cao Cao and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of gold and iron clashing and shouting from the front, because as long as there was still a big killing sound, it meant that the battle was not over, and the battle was not over, which meant that the family of three had not been stolen!
When Cao Cao and the others turned around the woods and approached the battlefield, they saw hundreds of bandits surrounding dozens of guards in simple clothes and armor and armed with war knives constantly attacking, and those dozens of guards were guarding the carriage under the leadership of a big man riding a tall horse and holding a long sword, constantly blocking the attack of the bandits!
Seeing this, Cao Cao drank: "Everyone, follow me to quickly kill the evil bandits and rescue the besieged!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, Dian Wei and Xiahoudun rode their horses and rushed away, and the guards also cheered and followed the two of them when they saw this. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of this group of bandits.
The bandit heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves behind him, and hurriedly looked back, only to see dozens of knights in front of him under the leadership of two generals dressed in armor, one holding an iron halberd in both hands, and one carrying a broadsword.
