Chapter 121: Wind and Rain Killing Night
In Nancheng County, Xiahou Yuan was sitting in the room with a military book in his hand, and a personal soldier came in and said: "Report to the general, the scout is coming to report, saying that a team of Xuzhou soldiers, escorting hundreds of carts of baggage, is coming to Nancheng County."
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan slowly put down the bamboo slip in his hand and asked, "How many people are there, can you see the banner clearly?" ”
"There are about two or three hundred people, including a van car, and the flag is Zhang!"
"Zhang?" Xiahou Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this, Nancheng County returned to Yanzhou, which is the junction of Yanxu and Xu, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao let Xiahou Yuan lead his troops to hide here, preparing to attack Zang Ba.
Xiahou Yuan thought about it for a long time in his heart, but he didn't figure out who the general surnamed Zhang was, why did he lead the baggage to Nancheng, could it be that the generals under Tao Qian defected?
As soon as he thought of this, Xiahou Yuan suddenly got up and ordered: "Gather five hundred cavalry and follow me to check!" ”
The soldier listened and took the order.
Xiahou Yuan put on his armor, put on his coat, and walked out with a knife, the five hundred cavalry outside the door had already been assembled, and Xiahou Yuan didn't say much, turned over his horse, and led the cavalry to quickly disappear in the rainy night.
……
The ancient temple on the mountain, the temple is not very big, some dilapidated, there is no incense in it, and there is not even a single person.
Cao Song was helped out of the car by Cao De, and ordered someone to clean the room that could cover the rain, let his family live in the house, and then ordered Zhang Min to lead the soldiers to camp under the eaves on both sides.
At this time, it was already dark, and it was stormy outside, and the clothes of Zhang Min and the soldiers were already soaked, and they were shivering in the evening breeze.
Inside the house, Cao Song ordered his servants to make a fire, find some ginger and cut it into the urn, and then add water to boil some ginger soup to ward off the cold, and bake clothes by the way.
Outside the house, Zhang Min and several henchmen stood under the porch, biting the dry food wet by the rain, smelling the spicy smell of the faint ginger soup wafting out of the house, and they all complained.
A henchman took a bite of the damp dry cake, looked left and right, and then whispered to Zhang Min: "We were originally yellow scarves, and we had to surrender to Tao Qian, and we have not gained any benefits for several years, but we have been looked down upon by others, and we are very annoyed.
Don't talk about other places, just talk about today's events, the general kindly reminded the rain to arrive, but Cao Song didn't care about our embarrassment, just rushed away, and even got drenched in the rain.
When they get here, they don't think about our hunger and cold, they only care about our family to eat and drink, and they bake the fire in the house, but let us rain outside, how can there be such a reason in the world?
and that Tao Qian, who wanted to give favors to Cao Cao, but among many people, he chose to let the general come, wouldn't he not take the general seriously? ”
With a "snap", Zhang Min threw the dry food in his hand on the ground, and said fiercely: "Cao Song, you deceive me too much!" After speaking, he looked at a few henchmen and asked in a low voice: "The old thief has a lot of money, I want to kill him, and then take these hundred carts to find a deep mountain and grass, you are willing to go together?" With that, he placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
After hearing this, several henchmen were overjoyed, and they all replied: "We all show our heads as generals and horses, and we obey our orders!" ”
Zhang Min said happily after hearing this: "In this case, you and the others will disperse to contact the soldiers, just wait for the second watch tonight, everyone will cut in together, kill Cao Song's family first, and then drive the vehicle to Huainan to fall into the grass!" ”
After hearing this, all the henchmen nodded in unison, and then quietly left, secretly contacting the soldiers.
Cao Song in the house didn't know that Zhang Min and the others had already started to kill, so they were roasting and eating in the house.
Cao Song took a sip of ginger soup, then smiled and said to Cao De and a plump woman: "Eat more, get up early and go on the road when you are full!" ”
The woman was Cao Song's concubine, and she was very much loved by Cao Song, and after listening to Cao Song's words, she complained: "How good it is for us to only stay in Langya, but we suffer such a sin!" ”
Cao Song was not angry after hearing this, smiled slightly, and replied: "When my son is successful, you want to be rich in the world, and you will no longer say this!" ”
After hearing this, the woman glanced at her and said, "Your words are like watching the moon in the water, and there is a shadow in the sky. ”
After hearing this, Cao Song feigned anger and said: "The woman's words, Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”
When the woman saw Cao Song's anger, she snorted lightly and said no more.
Cao Song saw that the hour was not early, and said to everyone: "If you are tired from the journey, rest early!" After saying that, he got up and walked to the soft mat that was laid out, and lay down to rest.
When everyone saw Cao Song speak, they also got up one after another, each looking for a place to rest, and hurried for days, indeed sleepy, and not long after, a slight snoring sounded in the house.
Outside the house, Zhang Min heard the sound of snoring in the house, smiled slightly, and his eyes were cold.
That night, Cao Song suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, so he got up and cleaned his hands, and the fire in the house had already been extinguished, and it was pitch black.
Cao Song groped his way up, and just walked towards the abbot of the back room, when he suddenly heard shouts and killings outside, and the figure was longing.
Cao Song was shocked and hurriedly called Cao De to lead people out to check.
Everyone in the house had already woken up, Cao De took out the sword at his waist, led the servant to open the door and went out, who knew that as soon as he arrived outside the door, he suddenly saw Zhang Min leading people to hate and kill.
Cao De was shocked when he saw this, and shouted: "Zhang Min is the opposite! Then the leader stepped forward to stop him.
Cao Song in the house shouted after hearing this: "Bitter! Then he bolted the door and led the woman backwards, ready to jump out of the window and flee.
When he got to the window, Cao Song said to the woman: "Quickly escape through the window, don't delay!" ”
The woman was so frightened that her face was bloodless, and she struggled to crawl out of the window, but her body was too fat to turn over.
Cao Song was in a hurry and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he was old and his physical strength was no longer there, even if he was anxious, he couldn't do anything!
At this time, the sound of fighting outside the door became more and more tragic, and Cao Song cried anxiously: "Like this, I can't live!" ”
As soon as Cao Song's words fell, the door was knocked open, and then someone shouted loudly: "Hugh is gone, Cao Song!" ”
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Cao Song turned his heart sideways, drew his sword and blocked it in front of the woman, ready to fight to the death.
The woman looked at the thief who rushed in through the door, and she was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying.
Cao Song is not a person who has seen strong winds and waves, although he is very anxious in his heart, but his face does not change, he looked at Zhang Min who came with a smirk on his face, and asked: "I have no grievances with you, why do you have such a poisonous hand?" ”
Zhang Min shook the blood beads on the sword, and snorted coldly: "Old horseman, you take advantage of Cao Cao's momentum, and don't put us in your eyes, at this time of wind and rain, there is obviously a house to accommodate us, but I just let us freeze outside the house, how vicious is my heart, if I don't kill you, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart?" ”
After hearing this, Cao Song reprimanded loudly: "A bunch of nonsense, it is clear that you are a thief who does not change his heart, is greedy for my family's wealth, and then has evil intentions, and he is really a villain!"
Now I am suffering from this calamity, it is a catastrophe of fate, and I am still dead, so why am I afraid?
Rebel and thief, needless to say, just come over and see if the old man is still dancing with a sword? ”
Zhang Min laughed loudly after hearing this, and shouted loudly: "Old horseman, I will send you on the road!" After saying that, he raised his sword and killed.
