Chapter 20: The Rhythm of Death
Yuan Shu Yuan Highway not only wanted to tie Xuzhou to his chariot, and would never allow Xu and Yan to join forces, but also wanted to find an opportunity to discredit Tao Qian in order to replace him, so the mastermind behind the murder of Cao Song's father and son was the general. Prior to this, it was Xun and Cao De who judged according to the speed of the news transmission that Yuan Shu had not had time to react so quickly, so what really ordered it should be his spy lurking in Xuzhou, and this spy is likely to be hidden by the Tao father and son.
However, if they also used carrier pigeons to convey messages, both between Yuan Shu and the spy, and between the spies and his subordinates, such as the person who gave the order to the Juxian county order and later murdered the Juxian county order, and then Xue Gang, who had just been shot dead, then it is very likely that this order was indeed given by Yuan Shu himself. After all, the murder of a former third prince of the imperial court under the banner of Tao Qian is such a big plan that an ordinary spy can decide.
Cao De couldn't help gritting his teeth, and said hatefully: "A certain is different from Yuan Shu's evil thief swearing!" ”
According to Zhang Min's suggestion, all the Huaxian soldiers who were ordered to attack and kill Cao's father and son, but they were so confused that they didn't even know who their real masters were, and next to the corpse road, Zhang Min's own companions would report to Zang Ba. Then the group continued on the road, this time none of them could believe it, even when they passed through Fei County, they resolutely refused to enter the city, but wanted to summon the guard Yin Li to go out of the city alone to pay homage to Cao Song.
If you go north out of Fei County, it is no longer the scope of Zang Ba's power, and the people you encounter are no longer Xuzhou soldiers but Yanzhou soldiers. But they didn't dare to trust the Yanzhou soldiers, because Cao Cao had not been in charge of Yanzhou for a long time, and many areas were not firmly in their hands - in other words, the Xuzhou soldiers in this era could barely be regarded as Tao troops, but the Yanzhou soldiers could not necessarily be regarded as Cao troops.
Therefore, despite Cao Song's opposition, they still refused to enter any county town, and camped in the wilderness every day, as if facing a great enemy. Shi Xun found that Zhang Min's troops, dispatched sentry agents, and set up camps to guard were quite disciplined - he was indeed Cao Hong's henchman and killer.
So, where exactly is the destination of this trip? It is said that the state governance of Yanzhou was originally in Changyi County, Shanyang County, but Cao Cao's base camp was in Dongwuyang, Dongjun County, which was more than 400 miles away. According to Zhang Min's latest information, Cao Cao besieged millions of yellow scarves in Suixiang and Sheqiu County in the southwest of Mount Tai, and the specific location of the camp is unknown, but as long as he arrives in the vicinity, he will definitely be able to meet the genuine Cao army.
Speaking of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Shi Xun couldn't help but see the cute look of Guan Si's little Luo Li pouting again......
I was busy with Xu and Yanhezong for this period, and I almost left the Guan father and daughter behind. He knew the fate of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and if there was no other external interference, he would definitely fall into the hands of Cao Cao and become an important chess piece for him to dominate the Kanto region. But the problem is that there is no record of Guan Hai's fate in the history books, let alone Guan Si. What will be the ending of Guan Hai's worst end?
Theoretically, his fate is nothing more than three kinds: first, the body and head are different; Second, reduce Cao to general; Third, return to the countryside.
The most likely is that the head is different. Although the yellow scarves have been making trouble for more than ten years, surging in the eight states of the Central Plains, except for the Zhang Jiao brothers, there is really no one worthy of the scholars to add more reasons for death, death dates, and places of death when recording history. Don't talk about Guan Hai, including Zhang Huan, Bai Huan, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, etc., which record the ending? Unless he was recruited later and became a pawn of the princes to fight for hegemony, such as Zhang Yan - and Zhang Niujiao, if it weren't for his later transmission to Zhang Yan, how he died, no one will definitely know Lu Dao.
The second is to reduce Cao to general. Although Cao Ying's fierce general Ruoyu is not much in charge of Hai, and there are not many of him, but he is the old commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, if he really becomes Cao Cao's subordinate, he will definitely find some clues in the horns - but unfortunately there is no at all. It's really strange to say, after the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was demoted to Cao as the Qingzhou soldiers, not everyone tuntian, and they didn't go into battle to fight anymore, but who led this Qingzhou army? I couldn't find a single clue in the history books.
The third is to return to the countryside - the last time Xun talked about Guan Hai in the downstream of Duchang City, Guan Hai claimed that he planned to return to his hometown to farm. But the problem is that he used to be the commander of a million yellow turbans, so he was easily put back to his hometown, not to mention the suspicious Cao Cao, no one can rest assured, if one day you have any dissatisfaction suddenly revealed, what can you do?
So the biggest possibility is that millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans surrendered to Cao, but Guan Hai hung up - maybe he was killed in battle, maybe he was murdered by the surrender faction, and it is more likely that he was a victim as a condition for Cao Cao's surrender. If Guan Hai dies, Guan Si will be in danger, no matter how strong her martial arts are, after all, she is just a minor little Luo Li, and she will fall into the hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans and more than 10,000 Cao soldiers, what will be the end? Yeshun really can't even think about it......
This time I went to Cao Ying, and Guan Hai would be fine, if only he could save Guan Si's life. Jihoon couldn't help but start racking his brains about it. But when he thought about it, he didn't know what the road was about, and he would often deviate - if he could receive Guan Si's little Luo Li by his side, it would be very good. It's a pity that the girl is still young, and ...... Can't you grow a little taller? With that little appearance now, you know the way of the road and don't know the way of the people who accept you with a sense of guilt? And by Guan Si, he couldn't help but think of his fiancée, the Miss Cao family who had "met" in the snow...... As for this one, he's already taller than me, so please don't grow any longer!
In his meditative thoughts, the group turned west from the north of Liangfu County, crossed Wenshui, passed through Juping County, left Taishan County, entered the northern country of Jibei, and pointed directly at Sheqiu County. Staying in a pavilion in the east of Snake Hill County that night, there are about thirty miles ahead, it is estimated that tomorrow morning departure, you can see the county seat before the morning meal - besides, maybe you haven't seen the county seat yet, you will bump into Cao Bing first, as long as Cao Song's font size is lit, it will not be immediately guarded, and it will be as stable as Mount Tai?
God, please don't come out of the demon moth again, let us arrive at Cao Ying safely.
Yes Xun is so trembling in his heart, because this way, on the surface, it seems to be peaceful, but in fact, there are all kinds of hidden crises, he sees them all in his eyes and is shocked in his heart. Since he didn't enter the county, he had to sleep in the wilderness most of the time, and occasionally he could stay in the house or pavilion for a few days. Needless to say, the Cao family's father and son, ancestors and grandchildren live in, and they can also be mixed in as soldiers, and the soldiers camp outside, which is reasonable, and no one can say a "no" word - the national system, non-officials are not allowed to live in the pavilion, not to mention those big-headed soldiers?
However, if they slept in the wilderness, the Cao family would set up a super luxurious big tent, with a golden roof and silk, divided into several compartments, which was more eye-catching than the main tent of ordinary generals, and it was impossible for the soldiers not to look at it. Of course, no matter how big this tent is, hundreds of soldiers can't squeeze it if they want to, so it's just hot. But the old man Cao eats Zhong Ming Ding twice a day, eats high-quality Liang rice, and has wine, meat, vegetables and hot soup, Shi Xun must be a guest, Zhang Min can occasionally come and rub a meal, even the servants of the Cao family, Ding Zhuang followed the light, and ate well, you say that this makes those soldiers who eat dry food and drink white water all day long.
Shi Xun instinctively noticed that there were many soldiers looking at the Cao family's big tent and the Cao family's servants who were cooking outside the tent, their eyes were not good, full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and there were faint hints of fierce light. If these negative emotions accumulate over time, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen - after all, Zhang Min is not their real chief, but just temporarily manages these little 300 people.
Therefore, Xun Feng advised Cao De to take out some corn, pickled vegetables and even pickled meat to distribute to the soldiers, and try to control their unstable emotions. According to his original intention, it is best to give each person a little more money, and then promise to have a double reward when he arrives on the ground, but it is just a little food, when it comes to the money, the old man Cao Song is not happy to roll around, even if Cao De wears out his mouth, he has not been able to pull out a child from his father's hands.
It's really an old thing who sacrifices his life and money, you are the rhythm of death! Shi Xun sometimes thinks hatefully, it is best to send you to Cao Cao, unload the burden of Lao Tzu and Xuzhou, and you will be hacked to death by the soldiers immediately mutinied!
So he hurried to the place day and night, and hurried to hand over the old man to Lu. However, there is a saying that "sincerity is spirituality", and Xun himself does not believe in God, so God will definitely not give him any kindness......
On the evening of the day before arriving in Sheqiu County, after setting up camp, Shixun went to the Cao family's banquet again, ate a round belly, and then felt sick and was forced to leave the camp and run behind a bush on the side of the road to relieve his hands. Originally, it was not necessary to run too far, and there were often soldiers skimming next to the camp, but on the one hand, Xun was not used to squatting in front of people, and on the other hand, after all, the face of the soldier had to be maintained, so he walked a little farther.
Leaning against a bush, he lifted up his shirt, unbuckled his trousers, and squatted down. In those days, because the scholars wore long robes, the trousers they wore were basically two trouser legs with a rope, and there was no crotch, and only the poor man in short clothes wore crotch pants for some special purposes—such as riding a horse, for example, climbing high—so they were also called "poor trousers". However, Shixun is a person who came from the future, so he is not used to leaking air between his legs, and he also needs to ride a horse along the way, so he has been wearing poor pants.
This thing, sometimes quite strange, is like luck or the opportunity to pick up a girl, always surging unexpectedly without warning, and when you are fully prepared, it is like a yellow crane, drifting and disappearing. Shi Xun squatted there, worked hard for a long time, but he couldn't get rid of it, and was silently reciting in his heart, "This intention has gone with the yellow crane, and there is ...... spare here", when he suddenly heard a slight human voice not far away.
Could it be that someone else is here to defecate? I don't want to go back to ancient times, but I can also meet the friendship of the pit and see it. While he was thinking wildly, he pricked up his ears to listen, and heard a voice say, "The defense is quite tight, but what? Another voice rebuked him: "Whisper! If it is detected by the thief, it will be difficult to do it. ”
I don't want it, God, I'm not protecting Tang Seng to go to the West to learn scriptures, I don't need to take one step at a time, go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties! Besides, that old guy is a pig and a pig, how can he be like Tang Sanzang, who is white, clean, delicious and visible! Shixun's surprise was not trivial, and he instinctively stood up with his pants in his hands, and heard the sound of "Kara" under his feet, as if he had stepped on a branch.
This time Shi Xun was completely panicked, and he didn't even have time to lift his pants, so he turned around and fled!
