Different timelines, multiple parallel epochs, and similar hypotheses were only put forward in the second half of the twentieth century, so after the popularity of time-traveling novels, countless people with lofty ideals went back to ancient times, acted recklessly, and made the target era unrecognizable. However, before that, most science fiction literature involving time travel had to take care of the "grandmother's paradox", thus raising the question of historical inertia. In other words, no matter how much influence you exert on the original history, history will return to its original direction in the general direction, just like a train in motion, which cannot be changed by the force of one or two people, and it will continue to move in the original direction due to inertia.

What Shixun didn't expect was that he would also encounter this inexplicable "inertia" problem, although because of his birth...... Or modestly say that it is a horizontal bar, resulting in the current situation in Xuzhou Prefecture is very different from the original history, and several major forces led by Cao and Elk may join forces to control the state government, and Tao Qian also intends to negotiate peace with Cao Cao, or rather, implement a plan for harmony earlier than the original history. In the past, he was in Qingzhou, whether he summoned Tai Shici to rescue Duchang, or said that Guan Hai's father and daughter took the initiative to withdraw their troops, in fact, it did not change the trajectory of history. He didn't want to change anything, and he was even a little afraid that if history was changed, he would no longer have the ability to foresee the future. But now he really wants to change history, and he doesn't want the tragedy of Cao Cao's slaughter of the five counties (if it is true) to happen, but is it because of the inertia of history, will Cao Song's father and son still be murdered in Xuzhou in the end? And it is also half a year ahead of schedule......

Looking at the distant firelight, he felt that his whole body froze, and a cold current couldn't help but swim around his limbs, as if all the blood and muscles were about to freeze everywhere he passed. I heard Sun Fan ask in surprise: "It's the Cao family...... Sir, how to deal with it? ”

It was Xun Meng who came to his senses, and opened his mouth and shouted: "What else should I do, hurry up and save Cao Gong!" If Cao Gong has three long and two short, there will be a war between Xu and Yan, and then the corpses will be piled up like mountains and rivers of blood, you ...... I ......" I couldn't go on, because Sun Fan had already led the soldiers to run away, and there were only the two guards brought out from Tancheng and a horse groom left by Shi Xun's side.

Shixun's head was hot, and he didn't care about his own safety, so he jumped out of the carriage, changed into his mount, drew his sword at his waist, and was about to rush over to help. A soldier tugged at the reins of his horse and said, "Sir, be careful, don't get into danger!" But the other took a spear and said, "This is better than the sword." ”

Two soldiers, you say yours, I say mine, the idea is to go in the opposite direction, and after speaking, they glared at each other. Shi Xun removed the hand of the previous soldier pulling the reins, but did not accept the spear handed by the next soldier, but just stretched out his hand and shouted, "Where are my bows and arrows?" ”

The bow and arrow that Tai Shi Ci gave him before he was ten years old had already been searched by the Yellow Turban thieves on the Covered Mountain, and when he went to Tai Shi Ci to rescue Kong Rong, he asked for another pair with a shy face, which was slightly harder than the previous one. When one of the soldiers heard this, he hurriedly went to fetch it and handed it to him. With his left hand clenching his rough bow arm, Shi Xun calmed down slightly, and now took care of the coachman waiting here, taking care of the two soldiers: "Follow me to see what is going on, you don't have to step forward, just shoot the enemy with arrows from a distance, if there is a ...... You'll have to keep me going. ”

The two soldiers agreed, each armed with his own weapon, and guarded him. He hurried to the gate of Cao's village, only to see the gate of the village open, and the sound of fighting came from inside - before he saw who attacked Cao's house, he saw two Lang evil soldiers guarding the door with spears, and when he saw Shixun, he reported and said: "Team Sun has led the brothers to kill in, and the enemy is less than a hundred, so it should not be difficult to win." ”

It was Xun Xin who said that what I wanted was not to win, but to live for the Cao family's father and son. Immediately rode his horse into the village, and saw that in the firelight, there were soldiers fighting in groups everywhere, and he could not see which ones were his own people and which were enemies. There are also some corpses on the ground, looking at the color of the clothes, most of them are servants in the village or Ding Yong. His eyes swept away, and he couldn't find where Sun Fan was, nor could he see where the Cao family's father and son were, and he was in a hurry, when he heard someone shouting not far away: "On the order of Tao Envoy, I came to hunt and kill the Cao family father and son, where are you soldiers?" Dare to stop it! ”

When Shixun heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and even his hair almost stood up.

Could it be that Cao Hong changed his mind? But I'm your niece and son-in-law, can't you say hello to me first? Or did Tao Qian really have murderous intentions, or was it ......

He was shocked at first, and then the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he immediately raised his bow, mounted an arrow, and shot it at the man who shouted at him. At this time, the man was only more than thirty steps away from him, and he was quite sure of shooting a living person at this distance - only to hear a scream, the man was hit by an arrow in the buttocks, and his body was crooked, and then two Lang evil soldiers pounced, one of them stabbed, and the result was the man's life.

Under the protection of two Tancheng soldiers, Shi Xun bypassed several fighting war groups and went straight to the depths of the Zhuang courtyard - whether it was his own side or the enemy, it was all infantry, and he rushed in with his head high, and no one dared to stop him. After running a short distance, I saw Sun Fan with more than a dozen Lang evil soldiers in a circle, defending against some scattered enemies, and the circle was like a mountain of meat, it was the old lady Cao Song.

It was Xun who saw Cao Song staring at a pair of big panicked eyes, not only was he still panting, but he was also flickering and moving from time to time with the actions of Sun Fan and others—and he didn't know where his stubborn figure and flexibility came from—and finally a boulder in his heart was completely put down. Riding a horse to answer, Cao Song saw him at a glance, and shouted with horror on his face: "Don't kill me, don't kill me...... Tao Qian thief, do you want to rob the old man's property?! ”

Shi Xun couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, so he immediately hugged his fists and reported: "Cao Gong is shocked." Those are all thieves, falsely passing on Tao Yuanjun's orders, and Tao Yuanjun has no intention of murdering Cao Gong. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked left and right, and couldn't help but worry again: "Where is Ling Lang?" "I won't suffer by relying on Cao De, even if my father is alive but my brother is dead, then Cao Cao will have an excuse to send troops to fight Xuzhou!

A weak voice suddenly sounded next to the horse: "Yes, sir, I'm here ......" Shi Xun turned his head to look, only to see Cao De leaning against a low wall, covered in blood to greet him. Yes Xun was surprised and worried, surprised that you guys have no sense of existence, wearing a "stone hat", why is it next to me, and I can't even see it when I'm still red, I'm worried that Cao De has suffered multiple injuries, won't this be hanging?

Seeing that the battle situation was absolutely favorable to his side, and there were fewer and fewer enemy soldiers who dared to attack Sun Fan and others, it was Xun who had the courage to throw the stirrup and dismount, squatted beside Cao De, and asked him: "Go to the disease, are you injured?" Cao De stretched out his left arm, only to see a knife cut more than two inches long on his big arm, and the flesh and blood were blurred: "It's just a small injury, and most of the blood on my body is not my own." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly stared at Shi Xun's eyes tightly, and there was a cold aura in his eyes that he had never seen before, and asked word by word: "Who, yes, is?" ”

Shi Xun was at a loss in his heart: "I don't know what to do." He turned his head and instructed Sun Fan: "Be sure to catch a few live mouths for interrogation!" ”

He really didn't know who Lu Dao wanted to murder Cao Song. Just a few words of Cao De immediately exploded above his head like thunder, and his brain was shocked by this, and he instantly became extremely clear. I have never considered a very important point: the statement that Tao Qian was the mastermind of killing Cao Song does not make sense from the root, it is just that Cao Cao is blamed on Tao Qian in the history books and finds an excuse to cut down Xuzhou.

For what? Because killing Cao Song is not beneficial to Tao Qian at all, if it is to deal with Cao Cao, then it is valuable to take Cao Song as a hostage, so it is possible to attack and kill, but it is impossible to attack and kill. Moreover, at this time, although the Kwantung princes were fighting, they were still nominally under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and according to Tao Qian's later case of paying tribute to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty against all odds, the old man Tao either attached great importance to the traditional order, or valued his own reputation, and Cao Song was not an ordinary scholar, he was a former captain of the Han Dynasty, one of the three dukes, and killing him would only make Tao Qian's reputation plummet, and he was despised by scholars near and far.

Let's put it this way, if it was really Tao Qian's murder of Cao Song, whether it was Gongsun Zhan or Tian Kai, he would have no face to send troops to save him, and at this time, Liu Bei was only more embarrassed than Tao Qian, and he would definitely not come under orders.

Therefore, no matter whether Tao Qian really wanted to kill Cao Song or not, he had to disguise it as an accident on the surface, and would not take the initiative to send troops to attack and kill him as recorded in some historical materials. In other words, if Xun protected Cao Song on the road, Zhang Min or Zhang Kai suddenly took out a knife on the road, it would be reasonable, and openly killing under the banner of Tao Qian would definitely not be what Tao Qian meant, and it would not even be Cao Hong's meaning.

In any case, his lord was notorious for killing the retired third prince, and everyone shouted and beat him, could it be that Cao Hong, who was Tao Qian's subordinate official, had a glorious face? The future is bright?

"On the order of Tao Envoy, I came to hunt and kill Cao's father and son" - when I first heard that sentence, I should have immediately figured this out. It's still Cao De, this kid Min, as soon as the words "research, actually, yes, who" came out, he couldn't help but immediately sober up Shixun's brain, and made Shixun unconsciously look at him again.

In a short time, Sun Fan led the Lang evil soldiers to win the battle, and nearly half of the nearly 100 enemies who came to attack were killed by him and more than 60 people were captured. Only then did he extinguish the fire in the courtyard of the village and send the Cao family father and son back to the house, Sun Fan came to report with a cold face: "I have inquired, they are all Yin Duwei's subordinates." ”

Shi Xun was shocked when he heard this: "Yin Li?!" Did he send it himself? "Yin Li is Zang Ba's subordinate general, and he is as famous as Sun Guan and Wu Dun.

Sun Fan shook his head: "It's Sun Duwei's subordinates, but they have always been stationed in Ju County - they claim to have come on order, and no one knows who gave the order." ”

Shi Xun asked, "Who is the leader?" Sun Fan stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's the team rate, and I can't speak anymore." Shi Xun looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a corpse lying at the bottom of the stairs, with several knife cuts on his body, and a feather arrow stuck in his buttocks, which looked so familiar......

"Since the troops were sent from Ju County, it is very likely that the Ju County Commander was the one who gave the order." Suddenly there was a voice in his ears, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped - I said Cao Quji, when did you come with me?

"You are so good at comforting and protecting Cao Gong," Shi Xun ordered with a frown, "I'll hurry to Ju County to find out!" ”
