Chapter 236: The Disaster of Xuzhou
One mistake, these two chapters are Zhang Yan and not Zhang Kai!!
…… Cao Song's face shook, and he smiled forcibly: "If the general is too little, how about ten cars?" Fifteen...... Twenty? ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Kai slashed out, and suddenly blood splattered, and a head rolled down to the ground, Cao Song didn't understand until he died, why did this kid suddenly start, business is not benevolent, the price can be negotiable!
Mei'er next to her looked at her body trembling, looked at Zhang Kai's body getting closer and closer and cried for a while, she threw herself at Zhang Kai's feet, and whimpered: "General, you are finally here, you don't know how hateful this old horseman is, Mei'er has been worried about the safety of the general just now, and now she has finally killed this old horseman, the general killed it well,"
Zhang Kai laughed, wiped the blood stains on the knife on Cao Song's corpse, and then slowly put it into the sheath, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Mei'er's collar, and tore off the incomplete clothes she was wearing at once, and in an instant, the snow white of the whole body came out. In the night breeze, Mei'er's body didn't know whether it was really cold or frightened, and she shivered all over.
"General, Mei'er is just a weak woman, so spare Mei'er! Mei'er is willing to do anything for you. He flew over with winkling eyes, and hugged the pair of little white rabbits in his arms with both hands.
Zhang Kai was thrilled when he saw it, and one of his brothers suddenly shouted: "Big brother, this little lady looks white and tender, if you don't get hurt, just throw it to me and other brothers!" Brother, I can't wait, I haven't touched the smell of meat in the army for half a year, and I can finally vent today. ”
Zhang Kai hooked his fingers, and when the man came over, he kicked the man's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "You all know that this little lady has fine skin and tender meat, can the eldest brother not do it!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and shouted to Mei'er: "Get up, visit me with Lao Tzu and be happy, brothers, the maids who haven't been killed will be given to you, but you have to finish before dawn, do you know the old rules?" ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they agreed in unison, the old rule is to kill them with a knife, and resolutely leave no one alive.
Mei'er couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that Zhang Kai didn't mean to kill him, threw herself into Zhang Kai's arms, and said softly: "General Zhang, the slave family is cold to death, why don't you hurry up and take the slave family back to the room." Her voice is already good, she can be seduced at this time, Zhang Kai listened to the ** bone erosion, and her whole body was numb, and she almost corrected Mei'er on the spot.
picked up Mei'er and strode forward, and soon after, Mei'er's touching cry and Zhang Kai's wheezing sound when he was working came from the room. The brothers couldn't help but run backwards when they heard this, there was at least some soup there, the boss was on it, and he couldn't touch it.
When it was said, more than 100 members of Cao Song's family were all killed, and after Cao Ying's interrogation, everyone was left alive, even Mei'er could not escape the fate of being killed. Zhang Kai is lustful, but he knows that Cao Yinger is so powerful, Mei'er is not a good person at all, keeping the command is the bane, with money, there are no women in the world.
The news reached Cao Ying's ears, and when Chao fainted to the ground, everyone hurried to rescue him, and after a while, Cao Ying woke up and turned around and cried loudly again.
The subordinates of the Cao clan said one after another: "Lord, although the evil thief Zhang Kai has escaped, Tao Qian's old man is still there, and the old man's revenge must be avenged!" ”
Cao Ying was suddenly shocked, thought about it, and suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, now my soldiers are strong and strong, and Eryuan is clearing the enemy in the territory, it is the time when I take the opportunity to grow, before I was forced to be in the name of Tao Qianren and a gentleman, there is no name for sending troops, and it is justified to enter the country. It's just that there is a shortage of food and grass, what can be done to solve it? Borrowing from others, Yuan Benchu would definitely not be willing to let me grow, Yuan Highway hated me for not advancing and retreating with him, and it was even more delusional, Han Xiuyuan was too far away, it was impossible, it seemed that there was only danger...... Killed the people. With their food, our army will attack Xuzhou all the way, and it will be smooth. In an instant, Cao Ying set a strategy to attack Xuzhou, to defeat the enemy, in fact, Tao Qian won the hearts of the people of Xuzhou, even if Cao Ying won Xuzhou, it is impossible to win the hearts of the people in the name of benevolence and righteousness in the short term.
The next moment, Cao Ying's face changed, pretending to be sad, and shouted loudly: "The generals listened to the order, Tao Qian's army plundered, and killed my father's family. You wait and immediately prepare for battle, the whole army will wear linen and filial piety, and the troops will be sent to Xuzhou after three days. ”
At the sound of an order, all the generals agreed in unison, as generals, the favorite is war, and only war can bring them glory and wealth.
After three days, Cao Ying left Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's army of 30,000 soldiers, and let them be stationed in Yecheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e. He personally commanded the army all the way to Xuzhou, and ordered Xiahou and Yu Ban to be the vanguard of the front, but there were those who blocked the resistance, and there was no forgiveness for killing, and for a time, Xuzhou was shaken.
At that time, Jiujiang was too guarded by the border, and Tao Qian had always had a good relationship, and when he heard Cao Ying's slaughter order, he was immediately furious and scolded: "Eunuch child, it's really not a good thing, Taozhou Muren is a gentleman, a good heart, but he doesn't use people properly, he dares to do such a thing that is indignant to the people." Come on, raise an army of 5,000 and go with this official to help Tao Gongzu. ”
Bian Rang has an excellent reputation in Gunzhou, and he is a famous person in the world, and his talent and fame are better than Cao Ying. Cao Ying listened to the news of Bian Rang's troops, not surprised but rejoiced, before that, he intended to take Jiujiang, the matter of Bian Rang's reputation is very good, and the people are extremely supportive of him, not to mention that Cao Ying can't come up with a reason to send troops, I didn't expect him to automatically send it to the door at this time, Cao Ying couldn't help sighing, father, you really don't have to say it carefully, you have to leave a property to me when you die.
At the moment, celebrities sent orders to Xiahoudun to destroy Bian Rang's army, Cao Ying had no doubt about Xiahou Tun's ability, although the two of them were each with 5,000 troops, but Xiahou was a famous general in a hundred battles, and Bian Rang was just a literati. Xiahoudun's 5,000-strong army has undergone rigorous training and has been on the battlefield for a long time, while Bian Rang's subordinates are just a group of county soldiers. It's easy to kill.
Things were as expected, Xiahoudun encountered Bian Rang soon after he sent out his troops, and the two armies faced each other, and Xiahoudun jumped out of the horse. shouted: "My lord avenges his father, how dare Bian Taishou lead troops to stop him." ”
Bian Ran lifted the reins. walked out slowly, and scolded loudly: "What kind of thing are you, and you also cooperate with the official to speak, Cao Mengde killed the people, people and gods are angry, how can the old man watch him do evil." ”
When Xiahoudun heard this, he laughed angrily, he had never seen such a crazy one. He didn't say much, raised the spear in his hand, took the lead in killing, and in an instant, five thousand soldiers pounced viciously on the border army like wolves and tigers. Bian Rang's face changed, but the literati style made him grit his teeth and stand up. It's not that he doesn't know his weaknesses, but there are some things that he still has to do even if he knows that there is no result, and morality is here.
"Kill!"
Bian Rang pulled out his sword and took the lead to greet Xiahoudun, who couldn't help but admire him a little at this time. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, literati were accustomed to hanging swords on their waists, and many people could brush them a few times, but most of them were mainly decorative, not to mention the decisive battles on the battlefield.
The two horses intersected, a bell sounded, Bian Rang's saber flew out without any suspense, Xiahoudun directly slapped Bian Rang off his horse with a shot in the back, at this time, the two armies had started a melee, Xiahoudun probably took a look, and his side completely pressed the other party to fight.
He turned the horse's head, grabbed the half-dead forehead and shouted: "Bian Rang has been captured by the general, don't you surrender yet!" ”
With a loud shout, more than 10,000 troops saw it clearly, Bian Rang's body was raised by Xiahou Tang with one arm, like a dead corpse, his sergeants saw it, and immediately changed color, and Cao Jun's momentum was greatly invigorated, and he shouted, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he was full of energy and killed Bian Rang's army without the power to parry.
Before the tea time, the army's morale was already chaotic. Flee and flee, surrender. After the Cao army won the battle, Xiahoudun counted the results, and his army only killed more than 100 people, seriously injured more than 300 people, and slightly injured only 6 or 700 people, this victory was too easy.
He glanced at the dejected Bian Rang, and sneered: "With such a good thing as you, you dare to do a lot of things!" ”
Bian Rangti listened to his words full of ridicule, his expression changed uncertainly, and he suddenly scolded for a while: "We are benevolent gentlemen, naturally not the opponent of you and other butchers, but Cao Mengde dared to slaughter the people, and sooner or later he will be punished and die at the hands of others." ”
Xiahoudun sneered, "The lord will die or not, I don't know, but you are dead!" He has always had an unusual respect for Cao Ying, and when he heard Bian Rang insulting Cao Ying, he was immediately furious in his heart, waved his hand, and Ang Ren sent Bian Rang to Cao Ying to deal with it.
The news of Xiahoudun's victory reached Cao Ying's ears, and he was overjoyed, and when he saw Bian Rang, Cao Ying greeted him with a smile, "Brother Bian, the subordinates are rude, please forgive Brother Bian!" As he spoke, he went to pick up the rope with his own hands.
Bian let go of his body and scolded: "Cao Mengde, don't be benevolent and righteous, Taozhou Mu Qianqian gentleman, you still don't let go, a certain family is now in your hands, if you want to kill and scrape casually, if you want to succumb to Bian, unless you collect troops and will be in Gunzhou, Bian Mou and you are incompatible." ”
Cao Ying's face changed, "Bian Rang, don't be arrogant, Tao Qian connived at his subordinates, hurt my family, hurt my father, I am a son of man, my father is not a common enemy, how can I not report it!" ”
Bian Rang sneered and turned his head away from speaking, Cao Ying saw him with such a look, knowing that it was impossible to say that he would surrender to the other party, and the thought in his heart flew like lightning, I am conquering Xuzhou today, and the surroundings are restless, it seems that Bian let such people eye, if he does not cut off the disaster, Xuzhou's plan will not be a failure. Arrived here first, he glanced at Bian Rang and sneered, since you have loaded the gun and don't know what to do, then I can only borrow your head to kill chickens and monkeys.
After thinking about it, he snorted, pretending to scold loudly: "Bian Rang, I avenge my father, it is a matter of course, whoever dares to stop it is my Cao Mengde's enemy, since you are so ignorant of lifting, then I can't tolerate you." Come on, take it down and cut it down. ”
The four sergeants agreed, grabbed Bian Rang's arm and dragged him down, and Bian Rang's shouting and scolding could be heard from afar.
At this time, one of the people below cut out and bowed and said: "Lord, Bian Rang has a very good reputation in Gunzhou, if you kill it here, I am afraid that it will not be good for the reputation of the lord!" ”
Cao Ying looked, but it was Xun You, Xun You was imprisoned by Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and then Dong Zhuo was defeated, Xun You was saved, and since then he abandoned the official and went home.
"Gongda doesn't know, there is this person in Gunzhou, I can't sleep at night!" Cao Ying sighed.
Xun You's heart sank, so it was, Cao Ying was afraid of this person, afraid that he would affect his rule in Gunzhou in the future. Bian Rang is from the world, representing the great family of Gunzhou, Cao Ying will command Gunzhou in the future, and he will inevitably have to deal with these people, but these people have never put Cao Ying after the eunuch in their eyes, so Cao Ying killed him to set an example, and the harm of the family is not only a big trouble for Han Jin, but also a problem for Cao Ying.
Cao Ying thought that if he solved the problem, no one would bother him anymore, but who knew that he would come the next day with an acquaintance - Chen Gong. Chen Gong was engaged in Dongjun at this time, and he had always had a good relationship with Tao Qian, and when he heard about Cao Ying's evil surname, he remembered that Cao Ying killed the Lu family in the past, and he couldn't help but be anxious, this person killed and became a surname, if I don't stop it, I'm afraid of causing a big disaster.
He used to abandon Cao Ying and leave, and he didn't want to see Cao Ying again, but at this time, the situation was critical, and he cheekily begged to see Cao Ying, hoping to persuade Cao Ying to withdraw from the army.
Cao Ying listened to his request to see him, and he didn't want to see him again, but when he thought of the old relationship, he couldn't let go of it, so he had to let people in.
Chen Gong was dressed in a white shirt, a lupine scarf, a tall figure, and a ruddy complexion, which seemed to be very moisturized.
"Don't come to the public station unharmed!" Cao Ying greeted him with a smile.
Chen Gong bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Gong has seen Cao Gong!" Chen Gong was humble and polite, respectful with strangeness, which made Cao Ying stunned.
"Is the public station here to be a lobbyist, if so, don't say it!" Cao Ying knew about his relationship with Tao Qian and directly named him.
Chen Gong shook his head and said, "I'm not talking to Tao Gongzu, I'm just here to save Cao Gong." As soon as Chen Gong said this, it immediately aroused Cao Ying's curiosity, if Han Jin heard Chen Gong say this, he would definitely scoff at it, or this set of words. If you want to promote and suppress first, the students wrote essays at that time.
Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Gongtai, you should tell me what danger I want you to rescue!" "Cao Ying is not Han Jin, so he left according to Chen Gong's routine.
Chen Gong had already organized his words, stood up and said loudly: "Cao Gong is in the land of a hundred battles in the Central Plains, with Yuan Benchu in front, Yuan Highway in the back, and Han Xiuyuan in the west. Cao Gong's ancestors have a bad reputation, and if Cao Gong wants to do great things, he must first correct his name, and this is the second. Creating more evil, people and gods are angry, losing the hearts of the people, and scolding the people of the world, this is the third. Zhang Kai's murder is a selfish action, Tao Zhou Mu is humble, has always respected Cao Gong, repays virtue with grievances, and has a bad reputation for Cao Gong, which is the fourth. Xuzhou soldiers must fight, Cao Gong wantonly killed, even if Xuzhou is captured, with Cao Gong's current strength, he will not be able to hold it safely, this is the fifth. With these five points, Cao Gong is not suitable to attack Xuzhou. May Ming Gong think twice. ”
After hearing this, Cao Ying looked up to the sky and laughed. Chen Gong's face changed, and he said coldly: "What does Gong Cao mean by this?" ”
Cao Ying's laughter stopped, shook his hand and said: "Gongtai is going to be angry, Cao just admires Gongtai's sharp words, but Cao asked each other, could it be that more than 100 members of my father's family died in vain?" ”
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Gong Cao's father's revenge naturally wants to be avenged, but the one who harmed Lord Cao is Zhang Kai, although Tao Gongzu is suspected of being ineffective, after all, it is a good heart, how can Gong Cao take revenge." After Cao Gong finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that this Cao Ying has always been the master of revenge, and he killed the Lu family back then, isn't this the case, thinking of this, Chen Gong glanced at Cao Ying, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Fortunately, Cao Ying didn't see it. He sighed, got up and said: "Don't talk about the public platform, a certain family's attention has been decided, even if Tao Qian is not the main offender, he is also an accomplice, not to mention, is this very important?" ”
After speaking, he squinted at Chen Gong, and his eyes showed a hint of a smile.
Chen Gong's heart was shocked, and then he understood, it turned out that he intended to be in Xuzhou, and the so-called revenge was just a disguise.
"Cao Gong, since this is the case, Chen Gong has taken his leave, but Cao Gong wants to take Xuzhou, don't hurt the people." Chen Gong hugged his fists and was about to leave.
Cao Ying didn't say a word, and after letting people send Chen Gong away, he ordered the army to continue to advance. I didn't take Chen Gong's words to heart at all, but I didn't know that it was precisely because of his indifference that he died for the rest of his life.
Cao Ying's army entered the territory of Xuzhou, but there were resistors, after breaking the city, all the cities were slaughtered, the people did not care about the old and young men and women, they did not stay, the money and grain at home were robbed by the Cao army, and the army was killed under the city of Xuzhou.
When Zhou Mu Tao Qian heard the news, he cried on the spot, "I have harmed the people, now what face do I have to stay, everyone, Tao knows that one person is wrong, I will take Cao Ying to confess, you can appease the people, don't let Cao thief harm the people." ”
The subordinates and others hurriedly stopped, and the soldier Cao Cao Bao stood up and said: "My lord, although Cao Ying is powerful, but my Xuzhou soldiers are not easy to mess with. ”
Tao Qian secretly thought to himself, if I go like this, I'm afraid that Cao Ying will not easily let go of my family and surrender without a fight, if Cao thief is angry and kills the people in the city, I will not kill again. In this case, let Cao Bao go out to meet the enemy, try the reality of the other party, if I am not the enemy, I will take the guilt, if I can fight, why should I die! Everyone is afraid of death, and Tao Qian is naturally no exception.
At the moment, Cao Bao led the army out of the battle, and the Cao army and the two armies of the two armies, Tao Qian looked up, Cao Ying's army was overwhelming, and he was the first to take a big flag, with two white flags on it, and four big words on it, "revenge". Its Cao Ying is wearing filial piety clothes.
Seeing Tao Qian, Cao Ying jumped out of his horse, raised his whip and scolded: "Tao Qian's old thief, he killed my father, and now that Cao's army has arrived, he will not be captured." ”
Tao Qian patted his horse and debuted: "Meng De, don't blame me for this fact, when I asked Zhang Kai to escort Master Cao, I just allied with Meng De, and I didn't have any bad intentions, I didn't expect that the thief coveted Master Cao's property and killed Meng De's family, Tao is also related, Meng De thinks twice!" ”
Cao Ying snorted, didn't answer, waved his hand, Xiahou jumped on the horse and came out with a spear, and Cao Bao here also hurriedly urged the war horse to meet it, and the two of them killed twenty or thirty rounds, and suddenly a gust of wind swept in, flying sand and stones, and the soldiers couldn't open their eyes.
The two sides couldn't, so his son had to collect his troops and return to the camp.
