Let's talk about Cao Bao.

Although Cao Bao, under Chen Deng's careful planning, seized the right time and place and successfully ambushed the Tianping Army. However, due to the unexpectedly strong force of the other party, Cao Bao and his gang stole chickens and rice, and lost the mastermind Chen Deng.

If Chen Deng was just the mastermind of this group of young rangers, Cao Bao would never be so troubled. However, Chen Deng is not only a famous ranger Lang'er in Xuzhou, he is also the son-in-law of the Chen family of Donghai County Wang, and the future heir of the family.

Although the Cao family's power is not under the Chen family, if they are at odds with the Chen family because of this incident, I believe that Cao Bao's eldest brother will definitely hang Cao Bao on the wall and whip him dozens of whips.

Therefore, for the sake of the harmony within Xuzhou Haoqiang, for the sake of the lives of the outstanding children of the Chen family, and even more for the sake of Cao Bao's own future, Cao Bao must go all out to rescue Chen Deng. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army on the other side seemed to know that the hostage in their hands was a big fish, and they did not kill people on the spot. In this way, things can still turn around.

"What? Chen Yuanlong was arrested? ”

Cao Hong, a famous scholar in Xuzhou who has always been gentle and elegant, heard the words of his second brother, and his eyes suddenly straightened. For a while, he didn't care about getting angry, but unconsciously turned around in the big tent, muttering:

"How? How? …… This is how I explain to Chen Hanyu! ”

Chen Hanyu is Chen Deng's old son Chen Qi. Chen Jue's vision and wisdom are well-known in Xuzhou. Cao Hong wasn't afraid of Chen Jue, but he was a little ...... Fearful.

When he turned his eyes, he saw Cao Bao, who was silent on the side, and said angrily:

"Why wasn't it you who killed the embryo and was taken away? Now, how can I explain to Chen Hanyu? ”

Although Cao Bao is not afraid of the sky and the earth outside, he has been used to being disciplined by this eldest brother since he was a child, and he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Cao Hong, but just said in a whisper:

“…… When Yuanlong was caught, he told me to come back immediately and lead the army to rescue him......"

"Take the army to save him? However, Chen Yuanlong's life is in the hands of others, isn't this a 'rat trap'? Unless ......"

Cao Bao is also quite concerned about Chen Deng, a very good-tempered friend. He hurriedly repeated Chen Deng's last words.

"According to Yuanlong's meaning, it should be backed by a large army and talk about the conditions for ransom. It is expected that those 'moth thieves', since they did not kill Yuanlong on the spot, should think that Yuanlong is a strange commodity to live in......"

"Nonsense! Do I still want you to teach? Prepare for ink! I want to repair a book immediately and give it to Chen Hanyu, an old fox. Zhong Biao, immediately gather the whole army and go after those moth thieves who don't know whether they are alive or dead! ”

Faced with such a situation, Cao Hong, who has always pursued the "way of Lao Huang", made a rare killing decision. While sending his cronies to inform the heads of the Chen family, Chen Deng's Laozi Chen Qi and Chen Hanyu, he quickly assembled the whole army and chased it in the direction of the departure of the Tianping Army.

The Balance Army is not going fast. Moreover, there is a Chen Deng as a bargaining chip in hand, and he is not too worried about the pursuers. If Chen Deng wasn't as important as he himself said, the pursuers would naturally not appear. If Chen Deng is really that important, and the chasing soldiers catch up, they will also have to throw a mouse bogey.

In Zhang Qiang's heart, in fact, I still hope that Chen Deng's identity is more important.

You must know that the Tianping Army had to go all the way east due to the threat of the Yanzhou Governor Bao Xin's department, and it has not been fully supplied with military rations for a while. With Chen Deng's background, the possibility of him defecting to the Tianping Army is infinitely close to zero. It makes sense to bring such a person to the team, it is better to directly exchange him for some food.

Therefore, when He Qian, who was punished by ten military sticks, found out the news of the Xuzhou army's dispatch, he hurriedly reported that he was arrogant. Insolently, who already had an idea in his heart, he smiled confidently, and immediately ordered the Tianping Army to choose a small hill and set up camp.

When the Xuzhou army marched all the way to the position of the Tianping Army, although it had an advantage in troops, it did not dare to act rashly in the face of the opponent who occupied the geographical advantage. The two armies lined up in formation, and although Cao Hong didn't like to show up in front of the battle, he still had to drive an exquisite chariot, under the protection of Cao Bao and other generals, to shout in front of the battle.

"Your guest came to my Xuzhou, but I don't know what to do?"

- Boy, do you want to die when you come to my territory?

Zhang Mad rode on a war horse, crossed the crowd, and rode one step at a time. Step is Zhoucang, riding is Lejin.

"Huh...... Just passing by, there is no intention of harassment. ”

- Don't worry, it's not a threat to you.

"So my heart is at peace. A few days ago, there was a small friend, surnamed Chen Mingdeng, who was accidentally lost because he was greedy for the scenery. But I don't know, is it in your barracks? ”

- Chen Deng is dead or alive, give me a word!

"What you say, do you mean Chen Yuanlong?"

- Alive, of course.

"Exactly! Chen Yuanlong is really in your army? ”

- It's good to be alive. Otherwise......

"Huh...... The general needs not worry. Yuan Long was very greedy because he saw the unique scenery of our army, but he wanted to live in our place temporarily. ”

- However, it is not so easy to release people!

Seeing the insolence of his words, Cao Hong's heart was a little more stable. Chen Deng has always had the name of "unruly" in Xuzhou. Cao Hong was still afraid that this kid would be slaughtered by the other party if he didn't go well for a while. Now that people are fine, everything is discussed.

"Chen Yuanlong's father, Pei Xiang Chen Qi Chen Hanyu, because he has not seen Chen Yuanlong for many days, he is worried in his heart, so he asked me to pass the word on his behalf and recruit him to return quickly. Can the unprovincial army be 'filial piety of adults'? ”

- Chen Deng's background is not small, you have to be careful!

"Since I have my father's order, I should return home as soon as possible. Helplessly, Chen Yuanlong was in the camp, and there were still some things that were not finished, so he couldn't get out for a while. I also hope that in front of Chen Hanyu, I will say a few more kind words. ”

- It's okay to release people, but you have to talk about the conditions first.

"In this case, I should rest for a while, and wait for Chen Yuanlong's return."

- Yes, my army is watching right here, let's talk slowly.

Since it can be resolved in words, the commanders on both sides have no intention of mobilizing troops. After all, these days, the world is so chaotic, whose family doesn't have a puddle of trouble? Zhang Qi was about to return to his horse, but he heard the big man who took the lead in raiding the Tianping Army, shouting on his horse:

"That little dwarf, today I let you escape with your life. It's still early, do you dare to compete with Cao on the horse? ”

It turned out that Cao Bao played against Le Jin today, and he obviously fell behind, and he relied on two helpers to maintain a draw. Such a result is a great shame for Cao Bao, who has always been in Xuzhou and has never met an opponent. Now seeing Le Jin riding on a horse, Cao Bao relied on his strong riding skills, so he challenged Le Jin on his own.

Cao Hong was angry at first, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again and let Cao Bao appear. Although for the sake of Chen Deng's life, he cannot force it, however, it is also beneficial and harmless to show the other party his own force.

After all, Cao Bao has been rampant in Xuzhou for several years, and he has not yet encountered a few opponents who can compete with him. Cao Hong is still quite confident in the strength of this second brother.

However, he didn't know that Cao Bao had fought with Le Jin and was still at a disadvantage. If I knew, I was afraid that I wouldn't be so relieved.

However, is Lejin a soft persimmon?

One of Cao Cao's "Five Good Generals", second only to Zhang Liao in ranking, and Le Jin, who was still before Zhang He and Xu Huang, has full fame and status, but he has earned it back from the battlefield with a knife and a gun!
