Chapter 349: Leaving Beidi
The next day, Qin Shuhuang left the Beidi Royal City with part of the envoys and the escorted soldiers.
The Eagle King led the officials of Beidi to send Qin Shuhuang ten miles away from the royal city before turning back.
Without General Liu, it is the season of spring flowers, and the road from Beidi Wangcheng back to Xia Gongcheng will definitely be very smooth.
At the first moment of the Wolf King's accident, the two thousand soldiers and horses sent by the Cao family to protect Qin Shuhuang went to protect Cao Miao's mother and son.
Cao Miao left the royal city under the escort of two hundred veterans of the Cao family, and then joined up with about one thousand and five Cao family soldiers and fled to Xia Gongcheng together.
On the way back to Xia Gongcheng, Cao Miao was frightened, and she didn't dare to stay at all.
And sent someone to send the news of the failure of the Wolf King's Palace to the Cao family quickly.
Even so, she encountered variables that she hadn't thought about.
Not far from Xia Gongcheng, she met not the team of the Cao family who came to pick her up, but the Xu family's army!
Xu Zizhang led people to Cao Miao, Cao Miao looked at the thousand Xu family troops behind Xu Zizhang, and immediately frowned.
Xu Zizhang said lightly: "Since General Ben met Miss Cao here, please follow General Cao back to Xia Gongcheng." β
Where is Cao Miao willing to comply.
Although Xia Gongcheng has long rumored that Xu Zizhang used soldiers like a god, it was all many years ago, who knows how it is now.
And she took two thousand Cao family troops, and Xu Zizhang only had one thousand Xu family troops behind her.
Could it be that their Cao Jiajun will be worse than the Xu Jiajun?
Joke!
Even if it's a little closer, can't you beat two to one!
"If you want to hold me, first defeat the Cao family army behind me!" As soon as Cao Miao's voice fell, she raised her right hand and waved, and the Cao family army behind him rushed towards the Xu family army led by Xu Zizhang.
The number of Cao Jiajun is twice as large as that of Xu Jiajun, but once they fight, they can tell at a glance whether they are strong or weak.
At first, there was a draw, but as time went on, Cao Jiajun was not an opponent at all.
Xu Jiajun's three-person squad can even deal with Cao Jiajun's ten-person squad.
These soldiers of the Cao family were originally only two hundred elites, and the rest were all miscellaneous fish soldiers, and once they were at a disadvantage, they were immediately defeated.
After only a quarter of an hour of fighting, Cao Jiajun had already begun to escape.
Cao Miao, who was riding on the horse, suddenly looked extremely ugly, and Xu Zizhang took more than a dozen of his own soldiers and said to Cao Miao with a stern face: "Miss Cao, let's catch it as soon as possible, and if we continue to fight, it will just be a waste of my Xia Gongcheng's troops." β
The victory and defeat have been divided, and no matter how hard he goes, he will only suffer, Cao Miao is not stupid, he stopped the Cao family army and surrendered immediately.
In her opinion, Xu Zizhang is strong, but it is not necessary to return to Xia Gongcheng.
protect herself and her son first, and when she goes back, let her parents find a way to exchange her and her son from the Xu family.
At this time, she and her son fell into the hands of General Xu and they were many times better than falling into the hands of the Beidi nobles.
General Xu asked the guards to capture Cao Miao's mother and son, and escorted 2,000 Cao Jia's troops back to Xia Gongcheng.
In the Cao Mansion of Xia Gongcheng, the husband and wife of the Cao family sat on pins and needles in the room.
Cao Jian walked around uneasily, and finally waited for the deputy general to come back to report.
He said urgently, "What's wrong?" Is Miao'er back? β
The adjutant general arched his hand and said: "Back to the general, the eldest lady was captured by Xu Zizhang and others...... I've just entered the city. β
Cao Jian was stunned and sighed helplessly, there was still a glimmer of hope, at least there were two thousand Cao family troops by his daughter's side, and now that he got the news, all hope was cut off in an instant.
Cao Jian smiled bitterly, where did he think that these things would happen in the next few days.
After Qin Shuhuang and his entourage, who were sent back by Cao Miao, were trapped in the Eagle King's courtyard and contracted the plague, and the Wolf King immediately decided to prepare for the news of the palace change, he thought about it all night.
As soon as the morning dawned, he finally made up his mind to destroy the Xu family.
Over the years, after General Xu returned to Beijing, the power of the Xu family was weakened by him.
In the entire Xia Gong City, the Cao family's power accounts for seventy percent, and the Xu family only has three percent left.
Keeping the Xu family is just a fig leaf, which is for the regent to see.
If the Wolf King's Palace becomes successful this time, Beidi will be under the control of the Wolf King, and her daughter and grandson will have a higher status.
Qin Shuhuang didn't know life and death, so he couldn't be relied on at all.
Only at this time can the Cao family take over the trade with Beidi, have the bargaining chips to negotiate with the regent, and continue to grow and develop!
If this is the case, the Xu family will be very in the way in the eyes of the Cao family.
In the future, it is better to be annihilated at this unexpected time!
Cao Jian knew that Xu Zizhang was not ordinary, and he had a thousand elite soldiers trained by him.
Cao Jian didn't dare to be careless, so he personally laid out the layout, planning to use the number of people to kill Xu Zizhang.
No matter how strong the strength is, the wheel war can consume Xu Zizhang to death.
The decision has been made, and Cao Jian immediately arranged.
He personally led people to fight against Xu Zizhang.
originally thought that the Cao family would be able to take down the Xu family even if it was consumed.
The same is true of the situation.
But who knows, when the Xu family army was about to be unable to resist, reinforcements appeared!
The combat strength of the reinforcements killed was no smaller than Xu Zizhang's 1,000 elite soldiers, and the 3,000 reinforcements instantly caught the Cao family army by surprise, and then the Cao family army was defeated......
When he and his sons were escorted to Xu Zizhang, he knew that the reinforcements were Du Qinglin Du Shizi in Beijing!
The Du family controls the soldiers and horses of Dawu Sancheng, although this Du Shizi is not from Mrs. Rongguo, but he is loyal to Mrs. Rongguo.
He entered the army for training in his early teens, and has been honed in the army for more than 10 years, and is now a rare general among the younger generation in the army.
This Du Shizi's fiancΓ©e is the daughter of the Xu family, and Mrs. Rongguo is the aunt of the eldest princess Qin Shuhuang......
Cao Jian regretted it now, and it was useless.
Qin Shuhuang must have arranged this play before leaving Xia Gongcheng, and his Cao family had already been calculated by the eldest princess.
Otherwise, Du Shizi was far away in the suburbs of Beijing, how could he suddenly appear in Xia Gongcheng!
Cao Jian thought that the Cao family would be destroyed in Xia Gongcheng, but who knew that Du Shizi and Xu Zizhang did not kill his family.
Not only that, but they also sent their family back to Cao Mansion in the inner city of Xia Gong City.
It's just that at this time, the border army of Xia Gongcheng has been controlled by the Xu family and Du Shizi.
The adjutant general was hesitant to say something.
Cao Jian twisted his eyebrows, "Say whatever you want!" β
The adjutant general said, "General, General Xu said that you should go to Xu's mansion." β
Cao Jian: ......
"Got it, I'll be over in a moment."
The lieutenant stepped back.
Cao Jian straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and was just about to go out, but was grabbed by his arm by his wife, "General, don't go, what if Xu Zizhang wants to be unfavorable to you!" β
Cao Jian turned around and patted the back of Mrs. Cao's hand, "Miao'er is still in Xu Zizhang's hands, I can't help but go, it's a big deal to use my old life to exchange Miao'er for coming back." β
Mrs. Cao's tears fell straight down, "Miao'er has always said that you don't love her, in my opinion, the most beloved child of the general in the mansion is Miao'er." β
Cao Jian pursed his lips, tore off Mrs. Cao's hand that held his arm, and walked away quickly.
Cao Miao didn't expect to see her father in the Xu Mansion......
