Xuzhou, Tan County.

Cao's convoy came from Langya, accompanied by a total of more than 90 people, most of whom were Cao Song's slaves and family members.

One of them was Cao Cao's brother, named Cao De.

A teenager, Cao Anmin.

Except for them, most of them are women.

The female dependents are more than ten concubines of Cao Song.

Over the years, he took refuge in Langya and was in the company of the local Hanmen and scholars in the mountains, but although Cao Song did not care about political affairs, he still knew the current situation of his son Cao Cao.

It's a great thing.

However, after living in Yanzhou and resettled by one million displaced people, 300,000 soldiers had to be reduced, and 70,000 Qingzhou soldiers were selected to train day and night.

In this way, he needs money even more.

It was just at this opportunity to sell the family property and send it all to Yanzhou on the occasion of the strike of the army in Xuzhou.

Cao Song expected that even if Xuzhou Tao Qian knew, he would not do it.

First, although he was deposed, he was also the third duke.

The second is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he does not dare to act like this, and besides, Cao Jun was very powerful before, and he was kind to quell the chaos in Xuzhou.

For those who are gracious, if he does something wrong, Tao Qian will be ruined and the people will be scattered in the future, not to mention fighting for the world, and even revenge will be revenged, and the reputation of the hypocritical villain will end in depression.

Therefore, when he walked to Tan County, Cao Song generously accepted Tao Qian's banquet, drank wine and talked all night, and told the grand occasion of the Han Dynasty.

Although it is not as prosperous as it is, it is also poor and happy, and the people are happy to work and have food and clothing.

Before leaving, Tao Qian did not show any hatred for his son, but said with a smile on his face that he would send someone to escort him.

In order to reconcile the two families, please ask Cao Song to say to Cao Cao again, and make a few words to stabilize the words to ensure the safety of Xuzhou.

Therefore, he sent Zhang Min, one of the generals in the Danyang soldiers under his command, to lead his troops to see him off, and Cao Song was sent into Xiaopei.

Along the way, he gradually became relieved, which made Cao Song feel very good.

I thought that there were thieves and soldiers in the vicinity of Xiaopei, and although it was suppressed, there may be remnants of people who robbed homes and houses halfway.

But now that Zhang Min is leading the team, it will not be simple.

happened to enter Xiaopei, and he still needed to find someone to find the wife of a confidant who had not passed through the door as mentioned in Meng Dexin.

At this time, the cavalry and horses dispersed to garrison on both sides, and they went to rest in a ruined temple, and dozens of Cao's chariots and horses stopped at the flat place in front of the temple.

Cao Song and his concubine's wife went to the inner hall to rest.

"De'er," Cao Song has a kind face, his long beard reaches his chest, and he is already mostly bearded, and his hair is tied with a square scarf, and there are few of them.

He shouted.

Outside the door, a small but sturdy man came in, dressed in a gray robe, and bowed and said, "Father." ”

"What about the general? Tell him to come in and get something to eat. ”

"He led his men out and went out to explore the way."

"Oh...... Then, leave some for the general, and when it is almost time for Xiaopei, give them three hundred gold as a reward. ”

"Yes, father."

……

As the night deepened, Cao Song temporarily spread a blanket on the bed in this temple and slept peacefully, while the slave servants he brought with him waited outside.

Cao De and An Min slept in another side courtyard.

Suddenly, one of Cao Song's concubines heard the movement outside the door and was suddenly awakened.

went to push Cao Song.

"Outside the door, there seems to be movement......"

"Huh?"

Cao Song felt little himself, and immediately woke up, and after reacting, he quickly got up and sat on the edge of the bed, squinting and looking outside.

Bang!

There was a crisp, loud sound, and the servant crashed in from outside the door, "My lord! Quick, run away!! ”

"Those people are thieves! It's a thief! Snatched our property, and now we want to kill people! ”

"Adults flee from the backyard first!!"

"Ah?!h Cao Song immediately jumped to his feet, where did he dare to be calm, and before he had time to make up his mind, Cao Ran in with Cao Anmin outside the door.

"Father, go! This Zhang Min is not a good person, what they are waiting for is to come here at night to kill people, rob their property and run away! ”

"Tao Qian, Tao Qian'an dares to harm me?"

"Father, now is not the time to talk about this, run away first!"

Cao De is in a hurry, if he doesn't leave now, I'm afraid he really won't be able to go, and there are hundreds of soldiers and horses guarding along the way.

And he is only now guessing that the reason why Zhang Min left today is definitely not to clear the hidden dangers ahead and explore the way.

He should have gone back to the barracks to gather his own troops!

Now that the people have arrived, it is estimated that the cavalry will surround this place.

At this time, there was a shout of killing in the distance, and there were neighing of war horses in all directions, and there was a faint vibration.

Cao Song's concubines all got up, panicked, and even shouted one after another, and a rather fat concubine even grabbed Cao Song's arm and shook it constantly.

But at this time, there was only a hole in the back wall of this house to escape, but Cao Song heard that there seemed to be someone shouting to kill outside the hole.

Can't you really run away!

Cao Song's face was pale, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by something.

At this moment, the gate of the temple was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people rushed in, instantly surrounding the entire courtyard.

"Father, it's over!"

"It's over, I can't run away!"

The man at the head, dressed in light armor and a half-style helmet, and carrying a knife at his waist, strode up the steps and entered the main hall.

Cao Song was stunned.

This person blocked the door, covering the moonlight a little, but looking at his face, it was not Zhang Min's people, this person was much more elegant, quite handsome, like a Confucian student.

"Is the old lady here?"

The person who came was Xun Xiao, looking in at the door at this time, there was still blood stains on his body, but his expression was quite afraid.

"You, who are you?!"

Cao Song glanced up with some fear, but he was still not sure who this person was.

"In Xia Xun Xiao, the people of the Xun family, lead the troops to save Old Lady Cao!"

"I, I am! I am! ”

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that the name he said in the letter was Xun Xiao!

He also said that this person is a rare and proud talent, because he is too arrogant and not easy to accept, so he can only slowly figure it out.

Use a beauty to win over Xun Xiao and let him know that Cao's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and it will not be good to leave him in the future.

After all, Xun Xiao doesn't have a righteous brother or anything outside.

"You're from the Xun family?! Loyalty! ”

"Thousands of miles to help, let me escape life!"

"I am Cao Song! And please take my family away, and all my family property, all here!! ”

When Cao Song heard that he had come to save himself, he was moved to tears at that time, after all, he thought he was going to die for a moment.

This feeling of escaping death is really wonderful, and the gratitude to Xun Xiao in his heart at this moment is that he can't wait to treat him as his own descendant, and give him all his family property in the future.

Dozens of lives in a family can still be saved!

"I can't do that much now! Old lady, let me ask you, can Tao'er be here?! ”

Xun Xiao suddenly asked.

Cao Song was stunned, "She, she...... She's not here. ”

I haven't looked for it yet!

"Oh, Dian Wei, you take the old lady away."

Xun Xiao's smile suddenly froze, and she didn't have the idea of continuing to chat with Cao Song.

simply turned around directly, hurriedly carried the knife and went elsewhere.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce man as strong as an ox came in from outside the door, and walked out with Cao Song in his arms.

Cao Song was still in a daze and never came back to his senses.

Huh?!

Didn't you come to save me?

How does it feel wrong?

Don't say a word, I'll get a credit or something in the future?!

Aren't you so happy that I'm still alive?!

Did you come to save me on purpose?!
