Chapter 75: Xuzhou is in trouble

So Cao Cao's soldiers were full of food, there were advisers, and military generals, there was no unconvincing in the whole Shandong, at this time Cao Cao remembered his father, so he sent Taishan Taishou Yingshao to Yaoya County to pick up his father.

His father because of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo, has been in Chen Liu, secluded in Yaoya, received a letter that day, learned that Cao Cao now has a foothold, felt very happy, immediately took his younger brother and a family of more than 40 people, as well as more than 200 attendants, more than 100 cars, to the direction of Yanzhou, but Xuzhou is the only way.

Xuzhou Taishou Tao Qian, the word Gongzu, is gentle and pure, after learning about Cao Cao's power, has always wanted to make friends with Cao Cao, just there is no reason, knowing what his father is going to go through, feel very happy, personally go abroad to greet, thank you and pay tribute, set up a very grand banquet, entertain the family for two days.

Cao Song was about to leave, Tao Qian personally sent out of the city, specially sent the captain Zhang Min, with an army of more than 500 people to escort, his family walked to a place, at that time it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, suddenly heavy rain poured down, can only rest in a dilapidated ancient temple.

After Cao Song settled the family, he ordered Zhang Min's general Ma Tun to gather on both sides, but the temple did not have such a large space, so the soldiers who came together could only be drenched in the rain, and the weather was a little cold, so naturally there were some complaints.

Being summoned by Cao Song, Zhang Min felt bad, so he called the leader of his subordinates to discuss in a quiet place, and said: "We were originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and there was no way to go to Tao Qian, and we didn't get any benefit from him, and now the task of escorting Cao Song is on us again, and he carries his family and baggage innumerable, I think there must be something valuable in it, it is very easy for you to get a fortune, just need to enter the temple together at the third watch tonight, and kill all the old and young Cao Song's family." What do you think about robbing their finances and then living a chic life in the mountains? ”

These people were originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and they never had the idea of working in peace, so they all agreed to this matter.

The wind and rain had not stopped that night, Cao Song was sitting in the house, and suddenly heard the sound of killing outside, his younger brother Cao De hurriedly lifted his sword and went out to find out, and was directly stabbed to death, Cao Song hurriedly took his wife and concubine to the abbot's room together, and wanted to escape over the wall behind, there was a concubine who was too fat and couldn't come out at all, Cao Song was really anxious, and couldn't bear to give up and leave, so he hid in the toilet together, and after being found by the rebels, he was hacked and died under the knife. Ying Shao knew that the general trend was gone, so he went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao.

Zhang Min's sudden attack put the entire Cao family in danger, he beheaded all the other family members, took the property, and in order not to leave evidence, he also burned down the temple with a fire, and fled in the direction of Huainan with more than 500 people.

This happened very suddenly, although Ying Shao went to the direction of Yuan Shao, some did not go, but the sergeant who escaped reported the situation to Cao Cao, Cao Cao heard about it, cried very sadly, knelt on the ground, and was really heartbroken.

Everyone helped him up, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and said, "Tao Qian deliberately sent someone to kill my father, this hatred is not shared!" I am going to lead the army now, and I must sweep Xuzhou City to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

So he left Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to lead 30,000 horses to defend Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e counties, and the rest of the people went to Xuzhou to kill together, Xiahou Xuan, Yu Ban, and Dian Wei were the vanguard, and Cao Cao gave a ruthless order, as long as the city was captured, the people in the city, no matter who it was, were all killed.

This matter soon spread to Chang'an, and Yuyi and Jia Xu began to discuss again, saying: "I heard that Tao Qian has a good reputation, and he has always had the intention of scolding Cao Cao, so isn't such a move lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Do you know how to play Go, how about we play against each other?" ”

Compared with Go, Yuyi is more good at chess, but when others ask to play the game, there is no reason to refuse, so he said: "Come on, will I still be afraid of you?" At the same time, Yu Yi thought to himself, it would be good if he had a mobile phone in his hand, and if he built a computer with the highest difficulty, he would definitely be able to defeat Jia Xu.

Jia Xu held a white chess piece in his hand, observed the situation on the chessboard, and said: "I think the same as you, Tao Qian's doing this is tantamount to sticking out his head to cut off others, which is really unreasonable." ”

Yuyi sighed: "Could it be? ”

Jia Xu affirmed Yu Yi's words and said: "You are right, I investigated this Zhang Min, and it is strange that Tao Qian is too stupid to send such a person." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yuyi observes the situation while holding the black chess piece and thinking about the next route.

"This Zhang Min is the remnant of the Yellow Turban Thief, extremely greedy, Tao Qian sent him to escort the Cao family, isn't this sending the sheep to the tiger's mouth?"

Jia Xu laughed.

"I see, but Cao Cao also has strategists around him, we can think of it, and they should think of it too, why don't we tell him about it?"

Yuyi still has questions.

"This is their cleverness, Cao Cao is now in the prime of his army, but the military spirit is not unified, and he has not experienced a big war, this attack on Xuzhou is just a good time to practice."

Jia Xu touched his beard and looked at the chessboard.

"But if he wants to kill all the people in Xuzhou, what is the difference between his actions and Dong Zhuo?"

Yuyi continued to ask.

"But whoever achieves great things, does not stick to small things, if you blindly retreat and give in, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things!"

"Alright, you've lost!" After saying this, Jia Xu stood up and made a concession move.

"Come on, I still think it's good to lose to you, I'm still young, in a few years, I'll definitely be able to be better than you!"

Only then did Yuyi realize that the defense line he had built in the corner had been broken at some point.

"Well, I'll see!" Jia Xu arched his hand and left Yuyi's mansion.

This incident aroused Yu Yi's attention, he thought that Tao Qian was broken the city sooner or later, and the people in the city should be notified as soon as possible to flee, for Cao Cao's behavior, Yu Yi felt that he understood, but he didn't understand, but these are not important, after all, he knew in Luoyang at that time, when Cao Cao was ready to assassinate Dong Zhuo with the Seven Star Treasure Knife, and then failed, he still assisted in escaping, and now Cao Cao has become a murderous devil.

Jiujiang was too guarded by the border, and Tao Qian had a good relationship, heard that Xuzhou was in trouble, so he brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue, Cao Cao felt very angry, and sent Xiahoudun to intercept and kill them on the way.
