Chapter 14, Dog Father Tiger Son

If Cao Song is a powder keg, then this Zhang Min is the fuse. There is a record that Tao Qian sent this Zhang Min to lead a small team of soldiers and horses to escort Cao Song back to Yanzhou, but when he marched between Hua County and Fei County, Zhang Min saw that the old man Cao had brought dozens of carriages of gold, silver and jewelry, and became greedy for a while, so he killed people and robbed goods, and then fled without knowing where to go.

In this way, Cao Cao and Tao Qian formed a blood feud, so in the name of "revenge", he led the army to attack Xuzhou, slaughtering five counties in a row, killing people so much that even a certain river was blocked by piles of corpses.

Of course, this large section of the record is somewhat untrue, and there are many details that are difficult to delve into. First of all, at that time, Zang Ba was stationed in China and Fei, why didn't Zhang Min do it early or late, but he had to go to this place full of Xuzhou soldiers to do it? Isn't he afraid of being caught soon? Could it be that there is some secret agreement between him and Zang Ba?

Well, if this person really acted on Cao Hong's secret order, then it would be easier to explain, maybe when he walked here, the secret order had just been delivered, and Zang Ba might also turn a blind eye because of this secret order.

Secondly, this Zhang Min immediately fled without a trace, and there was no follow-up. Dad was killed, this is the shame of Cao Cao's life, even if he wants to take the opportunity to blame Tao Qian, it is impossible not to send people everywhere to search for Zhang Min - Tao Qian of course wants to arrest Zhang Min to exonerate himself - if he can't catch it for a day, he won't stop for a day, why don't there be any afterwords in the history books?

In the end, Cao Cao's slaughter of the five counties is also a little vague, and Xun can't remember the specific names of the five counties now, but if you think about it, you can also know that it is impossible for the five counties to circle around a river, so how can the people killed by Cao Bing be piled up in that river? Under normal circumstances, only when two armies fight by the river, one side is defeated, or even the defeated soldiers wade into the water to flee, then the river will be blocked.

Of course, there are also people who want to whitewash Cao Cao, saying that there was no such thing as slaughtering the city at all, but it was slandered by the people of the time or later generations. After all, Cao Cao was a warlord in the feudal era, not a Red Army that fought local tyrants and divided the land, especially at that time when he had just accepted more than 100,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans as soldiers, and the military discipline was a mess.

It was Xun who respected Cao Cao, and he wanted to avoid this tragedy. Then the premise is that don't let Cao Cao crusade against Xuzhou, and if Cao Cao doesn't fight Xuzhou, he has to protect his father well, or send him back to Yanzhou safely and securely - when you get to Yanzhou, your father will hang up again, then you can't complain about others. So today, I actually saw the executioner who murdered Cao Song, Shi Xun, a spirit, and almost didn't fall off the horse.

That Zhang Min was very sensitive, and when he saw Shixun dangling on horseback, he quickly stretched out his hand to help, and with this support, he saw the stirrups: "Alas, what is this?" ”

It was Chief Xun who took a breath, fixed his mind, and did not answer his question, but asked, "Your Excellency's name is Zhang Min?" I don't know what two words are Lu Dao? He saw that this guy was not tall, only a little more than one meter six, a public face, full of syrass, not to mention that there was no robber domineering, and even the heroic spirit of a serious soldier was not worthy - is this really this guy? There are many people with the same name in the world, and it doesn't necessarily mean him, right? Maybe his name is actually Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai or Zhang Kaizhang......

The man scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Rough man, illiterate, I don't know which two words it is." In short, the villain is called Zhang Min. ”

Okay, Zhang Min is Zhang Min, all in all, ask Zang Ba to ask for soldiers to protect Cao Song, you must not bring this guy!

Under the guidance of Zhang Min, soon, Shi Xun met the famous Zang Ba Zang Xuangao in Huaxian County. If you want to say that today's Xuzhou ministers, the most famous person in later generations is this person - ordinary Three Kingdoms fans often ignore Chen Deng, but they will never ignore Zang Ba, besides, Chen Deng's highest is only to do Guangling Taishou, Zang Ba was entrusted by Cao Cao with the responsibility of Qing and Xuzhou, according to later generations, Chen Deng is the secretary of a region, but Zangba is the commander of the large military region.

As for Cao Hong, Cao Bao, and even Lu Zhu and Zhao Yu, it will be even more waiting. Is the third brother wide? Even in the corners of the history books, you can't find that guy's name!

It's a pity that it's not as famous as meeting, it stands to reason that Zang Xuangao is also a general who has a number of Cao Ying's later, and his force value is 70, but compared to the fierce generals he has seen, Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yulai, they are all a whole head shorter, and they are almost similar to Zhang Min, except for the width of the shoulders, I can't see the appearance of a martial artist at all. And when they met, Zang Ba didn't wear armor or a helmet, or even a military uniform, but a high crown and a broad belt, a wide robe and big sleeves, dressed like a scribe.

Yeshun couldn't help but think maliciously: Actually, you deliberately wore such a tall hat in order to raise this short body.

After meeting and saying hello and talking a few words, it was Xun who found that he was really unseemly, and this Zang Xuangao talked very well. Thinking about it, there are very few old and rough generals who have risen from the bottom in this era, and they have to be small landlords, and they are basically literate - Guan Erye still likes to read "Spring and Autumn", Zhang Sanye is said to be able to paint beauties, and Lu Bu has also been the chief bookkeeper of a state, like Zhang Min's goods, it is impossible to rise. Besides, to be a defender of one side, you have to deal with the scholars, if you don't have any knowledge at all, you can make the generally tricky and snarky scholars laugh at the anti-flag!

Shixun told Zang Ba about his mission, and Zang Ba said Okay, I will arrange soldiers to protect Mrs. Cao with you. Yes Hoon made his own request, saying that you have to find some honest soldiers to follow me, and there can't be anyone surnamed Zhang. Zang Ba looked at him inexplicably, but Shixun didn't explain - in fact, he couldn't explain it at all.

In the end, Zang Ba allocated 300 soldiers, led by a strong general, and followed Shixun back to Langxie. Shi Xun asked one by one, these soldiers are all from Langxie, some are surnamed Wang, some are surnamed Li, and one is more weird than the surname Zhuge , and sure enough, his hometown is in Yangdu, but he doesn't know who Zhuge Gui and Zhuge Xuan are, and I don't know who Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are WHO. As for the athlete, his name is Sun Fan, who is the younger brother of Sun Guan, the deputy general of Zang Ba.

The group searched for their way back to the east, and within a few days came to Haiqu County, Langxi. According to Cao Hong's instructions, Cao Song lived in seclusion in a village outside Haiqu City, a long way away from the seaside - it was Xun who estimated that this was probably near the Rizhao of the later generations. His hometown in his previous life was in Rizhao, and he felt a little timid about his hometown, but what touched him the most was the vicissitudes of life and the impermanence of the world - what a beautiful and prosperous city Rizhao was, but Haiqu County in front of him, the soil was only three meters high, and the old nest camp was neat and tidy.

They were stationed outside Haiqu County for one night, and it was Xun who went into the city to meet the county magistrate and enjoyed a banquet. Then the next day, he took a car to visit Cao Song - he only brought a few soldiers given by Tao Qian, but not Zang Ba's soldiers, for fear of scaring Old Man Cao.

Wait for the place to see, frightened, this village courtyard is up well, stretching several acres of land, outside is a circle of earth walls, not much shorter than the city wall of Haiqu County, there are a lot of arrow towers erected in the wall, there are Zhuang Ding guards on the upper floors, all of them hold sharp blades, reflecting the morning sun is the cold light flickering. Although he doesn't know how to fight at all, Shi Xun can also estimate that the difficulty of capturing this village will definitely not be much less than conquering Haiqu County, so he will bring those 300 soldiers, and he may not be able to fight in three or five days.

He remembered that according to Tao Qian was the mastermind of killing Cao Song, in the historical records, Cao Cao ordered Taishan to guard Ying Shao to meet his father, so when Tao Qian's army arrived, the Cao family thought that Ying Shao was coming, and they didn't take precautions, so they were served off by Lian Pot. It is estimated that if there is a defense, Tao Qianjun will not be able to defeat it. In this way, this account is very reliable, and even the details are logical...... But wait, it seems that according to that record, Cao Song should have lived in seclusion in Taishan Huaxian instead of Langxihaiqu...... What is the real history? Even if you cross over by yourself, it is estimated that it will still become an unsolvable mystery.

As soon as he approached the courtyard, the gate opened, and a butler came out, asking who the visitor was and what his intentions wereβ€”it is estimated that because he was dressed as a scholar, he came in a carriage, and there were only two soldiers behind him, and the coachman was only four people, so he was not on strict guard as if facing the enemy. Shi Xun showed Tao Qian's official document, and then handed over the name thorn, saying: "A certain person is ordered by Tao Envoy Jun to come to pay homage to Cao Gong." ”

The housekeeper went in and returned, and after a short time, he came out again and guided Shixun's carriage in. When Shixun got out of the car and entered the main hall, the housekeeper pointed upwards: "That's my master, the late Taiwei Cao Gong." "Yes Xun raised his eyes and looked, hey, you are really Cao Song, you are really not Dong Zhuo?!

I saw that this old man Cao was fifty or sixty years old, with a round face, a beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and when he sat there, he couldn't even see his chinβ€”because his stomach was too big, and his whole neck seemed to be shrinking back. Shi Xun remembered that in the historical records, Tao Qian sent troops to kill him, and Cao Song took the concubine to escape by drilling a dog hole, but the concubine's body was too fat and stuck, so he lost his life. Now it looks - it's not that the concubine is too fat, it's that you're too fat, just your hammer figure, not to mention the dog hole, even if you can't get into the bear hole!

Forced himself to suppress the inner complaint, and Xun stepped forward to salute. Cao Song didn't even invite him to sit down, and asked first: "I don't know what position does the honorable driver hold in the state capital?" Shihoon replied, "White body." ”

Hearing this, Cao Song's mouth immediately pursed, and he snorted coldly: "Is there no one in Xuzhou?" How can you send a white body to see the old man? As soon as he spoke, he raised his hand, and the two concubines next to him took him by the arm and helped him up, and then the old man turned behind the screen. Shi Xun was still complaining "It's like two foxes setting up a hippopotamus", and suddenly pondered, no, even if you look down on me for being unofficial and unofficial, and don't like to take care of me, but I am a guest from afar, you can't leave me alone in the living room!

I didn't know what to do, but suddenly I heard a voice in the shadow next to the screen: "My father is unwell and has been slow to treat distant guests, don't blame me, sir." "This scared Shi Xun a shudder - where are you hiding by my brother? Are you a ninja?!
