After Sun Jian adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion and directed and staged an assassination, he has been "recuperating" in the Marquis of Hefei and watching the changes in the situation in Yangzhou.

Because Sun Jian could not avoid the battle, the forces in Yangzhou began to frantically grab the city.

Although Liu Miao was appointed by the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang and others obeyed Yuan Shao's orders and refused to accept Liu Xuan.

The new Huiji Taishou Wang Lang came from Xuzhou again.

Although Wang Lang nominally obeyed Liu Xuan's orders, he secretly connected with Yan Baihu, a wealthy family in Wu County.

Wu County is too shou sheng Xianzi filial piety, will be an auditor, a famous person in the late Han Dynasty, after being raised as filial piety, he served as a scholar in Luoyang.

It is worth mentioning that Sheng Xian once intersected with Kong Rong and became brothers.

Zheng Ping asked Tai Shici to buy warships in Wu County, and Sheng Xian also contributed a lot.

When Tai Shici and Guan Cheng went south and prepared to forcibly break through Liu Xuan's blockade by force, it was Sheng Xian who persuaded Liu Xuan to reconcile with Qingzhou.

Although Liu Miao superficially agreed to Sheng Xian's proposal and asked Sheng Xian to come forward to reconcile with Qingzhou, he was also secretly suspicious of Liu Xian.

So Liu Miao secretly ordered Xu Gong, the governor of Wu County, to seize Sheng Xian's power, intending to set Sheng Xian up.

Considering that Sheng Xian was Kong Rong's sworn brother and had a good relationship with Qingzhou, Zheng Ping asked Kong Rong to send a letter to Sheng Xian, inviting Sheng Xian and his wife and children to come to Qingzhou to attend the meeting, and on the other hand, asking Sheng Xian to take the initiative to resign from the post of Wu County Taishou and recommend Xu Gong to serve as Wu County Taishou.

Sheng Xian was afraid of Liu Xuan, so he privately made an appointment with Xu Gong, and asked Xu Gong to hide his intention to go north to Qingzhou on the condition of recommending Xu Gong as the Taishou of Wu County.

Xu Gong saw that Sheng Xian took the initiative to leave Wu County, so he was naturally happy.

But this move also made Liu Miao dissatisfied with Xu Gong, so Liu Miao asked Xue Li, the late Pengcheng Prime Minister, to serve as the Taishou of Wu County.

Xu Gong saw that Wu Juntai, who was in his hand, was too guarded, and directly sent troops to intercept and kill Xue Li halfway.

Xue Li's soldiers were defeated and fled back to Qu'a, which made Liu Miao furious.

However, Xu Gong has been operating in Wu County for a longer time than Liu Xuan, and he has formed good relations with the famous Xu Jing and others, so he is not afraid of Liu Xuan at all.

Xu Gong connected with Yan Baihu, a wealthy clan in Wu County, and at the same time sent people to show loyalty to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was naturally happy to have someone to work, so he made Xu Gong the Taishou of Wu County and ordered him to attack Liu Xuan.

In addition, Zu Lang and others, who are from Shanyue, have a good relationship with Tao Qian, and they don't accept Yuan Shu or Liu Xuan, and whoever comes will beat him.

Originally, Yangzhou was a refuge for Jiangbei scholars, but the war became more and more chaotic, and a large number of scholars had to take refuge in Jiaozhou.

In such a complicated situation, Yuan Shu's order to fully support Sun Jian's pacification of Jiangdong also ignited Sun Jian's ambition.

"In the past, the heroes who fought against Dong Zhuo together, Yuan Shao became the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Bei became the pastor of Qingzhou, Zang Hong became the pastor of Yanzhou, Cao Cao became the pastor of Yuzhou, and Tao Qian became the pastor of Xuzhou."

"Only this general is just a general under Yuan Shu, who will come and go as soon as he is called."

"I could have taken advantage of Liu Biao's unstable foothold to take Yangzhou, but Yuan Shu asked the general to fight Liu Biao, and before Liu Biao could distinguish the winner from Liu Biao, Yuan Shu changed the general to fight Cao Cao."

"If it weren't for Ayu's good strategy, so that Ben Jiang would have a respite, he could wait and watch the changes in this Hefei Hou Kingdom, and I don't know where Ben Jiang will fight today."

"I knew that Yuan Shu was such a waste, and I should have attached myself to Yuan Shao."

Sun Jian sighed with emotion and was quite dissatisfied with Yuan Shu.

In the early years, Sun Jian knew that he was from a humble background, and if he wanted to achieve a great career, he had to rely on the powerful, so he took the initiative to become a protégé of the Yuan family in Runan.

But when choosing between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Sun Jian looked away.

Who would have thought that as the son-in-law of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu, who was vigorously cultivated by the Yuan family and successively served as Henan Yin and Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, would not be as good as Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy.

What made Sun Jian even more unbelievable was that with Nanyang County and Runan County, and most of the Yuan family's protégés and former officials were dependent on Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu would be reduced to an embarrassing position in Huainan in a short period of time.

Sun Jian was unbelievable, and the former officials of the Yuan family, who were attached to Yuan Shu, were also incredulous.

I thought that I would follow Yuan Shu and rise to the top from then on.

As a result, the money is gone, the people are gone, and the family is in decline.

So much so that after Yuan Shu came to Huainan, Yuan's former protégé, Lujiang Zhou, hated to draw a line with Yuan Shu.

On the side, Sun Ce was quite excited: "Father, pacify Jiangdong, can you let the child also join the army!" ”

In Sun Ce's eyes, Sun Jian is an unshakable mountain.

Everyone said that Sun Jian was a Jiangdong tiger, but Sun Ce thought that Sun Jian was like the overlord of the past.

Looking at Sun Ce, who had reached the age of eighteen, Sun Jian stroked his short hair proudly.

This son is brave and courageous, which is naturally a blessing for being a father.

"Ce'er is eighteen years old, and it's time to go to the army to sharpen it."

"However, you have not made an inch, even if you are the eldest son of the general, you can only be a foot soldier when you fight with the army."

"Would you like to?"

Sun Ce was arrogant: "If you can't make contributions with your real skills, what kind of face does the child have to stay in his father's army!" I wish to be my father's next pawn! ”

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao on the side were frightened.

"My lord!" Cheng Pu admonished: "The young master is young and has not been in battle, so it is better to follow me first and take care of him." ”

Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zumao also persuaded one after another.

Sun Jian was convinced: "Ce'er is brave, how can others take care of it?" After learning martial arts for more than ten years, if you can't even adapt to the battlefield, how dare you claim to be the eldest son of this general? ”

Sun Ce laughed: "Uncles, don't treat me as a child!"

"When my father was seventeen years old, he was able to carry a knife and kill the pirate Hu Yu and others alone, but now that I am eighteen years old, how can I not even be a foot soldier?"

Sun Jian laughed: "This is the son of the general!" Command, prepare for battle! ”

"I was going to destroy Liu Xuan, who was going to kill Qu'a, and then went south to Wu County, defeated the six counties and eighty-one prefectures in Jiangdong, and also became a Yangzhou pastor, and was named a marquis!"

Cheng Pu's four generals are all awe-inspiring.

Yuan Shu only promised to give Sun Jian a Wu Hou, but Sun Jian's ambitions did not stop there.

Just a Wu Hou, how can Sun Jian be willing?

If you can't become a pastor in Yangzhou, such as Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Zang Hong, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Tao Qian, shepherd a state and worship the generals, wouldn't it be underestimated!

Jiangdong Tiger, how can they live under the people for a long time!

And when Sun Jian was preparing to level Jiangdong, Cao Song also came to an end.

Cao Song, a beggar, bought a position because of stolen goods, replaced the treasure with money, lost the right to the door, stole the Dingsi, and overturned the heavy weapon.

In the years of huge greed, there are not a few people who have been ruined and their wives separated because of Cao Song.

Although there is no shortage of honest officials in this world, with Cao Song's powerful position, there is no honest official sanction.

Huaxian, ancient temple.

Rain.

This summer thunderstorm is coming.

However, the ancient temple was too narrow, Cao Song and his son could shelter from the rain, and Zhang Min and other 500 soldiers could only squeeze under the eaves.

Zhang Min was born as a yellow turban thief, and was appeased by Tao Qian and attached to Tao Qian.

When Yuan Shu was in Yuzhou, there were many generals under his command who were born as yellow turban thieves, and they persuaded Zhang Min to defect to Yuan Shu.

Zhang Min originally thought that he could be like Zang Ba and have his own family, so he was not ready to go south to join Yuan Shu.

But as Tao Qian paid less and less attention to Zhang Qian, Zhang Min's resentment towards Tao Qian also increased day by day.

Escorting Cao Song to Yuzhou this time, Zhang Min actually had careful thoughts.

Zhang Min wants to follow Cao Song to go to Yuzhou Mu Cao Cao!

"If you can get an errand under the command of Yuzhou Mu Cao Cao, it should be stronger than being angry with Tao Qian in Xuzhou."

"But if I see Cao Cao directly, Cao Cao won't believe me."

Come to think of it.

Zhang Min came to see Cao Song and explained the meaning of the effect.

If Cao Cao was there, Zhang Min's investment might have been successful, but Zhang Min met Cao Song and Cao De.

These two fathers and sons don't have Cao Cao's heart and strength, and they despise Zhang Min's dedication.

Cao Song was okay, but he just said, "The old man went to Yuzhou just to be a rich man, and he didn't care about anything." ”

Cao De said: "I have heard that it is treacherous to vote for the new master instead of telling the old master. If you want to vote for your brother, you can go to Xuzhou first to resign. ”

The implication is to ridicule Zhang Min's bad morals and is not qualified to be recommended by Cao Song.

was ridiculed by Cao De, and Zhang Min was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Zhang Min gritted his teeth: "Now that the rain is pouring down, the soldiers are sheltering from the rain under the eaves, they are cold and hungry, can you let them enter the temple to take shelter from the rain?" ”

Cao De snorted coldly: "What if they are allowed to go into the temple to shelter from the rain, and the money in the car is less?" ”

Zhang Min's palms were almost oozing blood: "We are no longer thieves, and the soldiers under my command will not take money indiscriminately." ”

Cao De was about to speak, but was stopped by Cao Song.

Cao Song didn't look at Zhang Min with his eyes: "Zhang Duwei, are you thieves or not, the old man is not interested at all, but the old man doesn't want to hurt the harmony because of the lack of money." ”

"Stand down!"

Faced with the indifference of Cao Song's father and son, Zhang Min held back his anger and retreated.

Although the rain was pouring outside the temple, the fire of anger in Zhang Min's heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"Cao Song and Cao De, these two puppets, dare to humiliate me like this!"

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

The more Zhang Min thought about it, the more angry he became, so he convened all the leaders to discuss.

"I intend to ask Cao Song to recommend and let the brothers go to Yuzhou to enjoy happiness."

"I can only hate Cao Song's father and son, but I am sarcastic with words and disdain for us."

"Since Cao Song is unkind, why should we give lectures?"

"Killing Cao Song's father and son, robbing these fifty carts of money, I wait to go south to Huainan to join Yuan Gong, it's better than being angry with Tao Qian in Xuzhou!"

These yellow turban leaders also had a bad time in Xuzhou, and when they heard that Zhang Min wanted to kill people and rob money, they echoed one after another.

Twilight.

The rain stopped.

Taking advantage of Cao Song's father and son's arrangement for servants to make a fire and make food, Zhang Min led the crowd into the temple, first hacked Cao De to death with a knife, and then hacked Cao Song and the fat concubine to death in the toilet.

then killed Cao Song's servants, preparing to take the money away at night.

What Zhang Min didn't know was that Cao Hong also led the Danyang elite soldiers to arrive near the ancient temple.

Finding out that Zhang Min had killed Cao Song's father and son, and was celebrating in the ancient temple, Cao Hong was shocked and angry: "A thief is a thief, and it is a bad thing for the king!" ”

Originally, Cao Hong was going to take advantage of the night to surround the ancient temple, destroy Cao Song, Zhang Min and others in the ancient temple, and blame Ying Shao.

As a result, Zhang Min took the first step and escaped a lot of Cao Song's servants.

In this way, it is difficult to blame Ying Shao for the death of Cao Song's father and son.

"None of them will be left!"

Cao Hong hated Zhang Min deeply and ordered the Danyang soldiers to attack the ancient temple and kill Zhang Min.

As soon as he saw Cao Hong coming, Zhang Min immediately understood everything: "Tao Qian, he is so ruthless!" I want to kill me and Cao Song's father and son together, and blame Yanzhou! ”

Looking at the brave Danyang soldiers and the angry Cao Hong, Zhang Min had only one thought in his heart.

"Run!"

"Gotta escape!"

Zhang Min knew very well that Cao Hong was going to kill people.

The strong desire to survive made Zhang Min more bloodthirsty and crazy than before.

Finally, Zhang Min fought his way out of the bloody road and escaped by taking advantage of the night.

"Hateful Zhang Min!"

Cao Hong failed to catch up with Zhang Min after all, and smashed his helmet to the ground.

"Now that Cao Song's father and son are dead, Zhang Min has fled again, and he has returned to Tancheng, so that Jun will definitely be blamed." Cao Hong was a little panicked.

Looking at the money in the ancient temple, Cao Hong was ruthless in his heart, and asked people to send the fifty cars of money to Qingzhou.

"As long as the money goes to Qingzhou, Cao Cao will definitely think that the death of Cao Song's father and son is related to Liu Bei!"

"In this way, the envoy will not have to face Cao Cao's anger alone."

Come to think of it.

Cao Hong gathered together the servants of Cao Song's father and son who had time to escape in the ancient temple, and shouted: "Cao Song's father and son committed a big incident in Qingzhou, and they still want to abscond in fear of crime. ”

"Kill him today as an example."

"If you send all this money to Linzi City, you can avoid death!"

The servants did not dare to be disobedient, so they could only nod their heads one by one.

Cao Hong was also treacherous, deliberately whipping and humiliating several unlucky servants that night and expelling them.

These servants had a grudge in their hearts and fled to Yuzhou overnight.

When he first arrived in Lu, he met Yuan Yi who came to answer.

When Yuan Yi heard that Cao Song's father and son had been killed, he was so shocked that his soul was almost gone.

"If Cao Cao learns about this, he will definitely blame me!"

"I can't go back to Yecheng, for the sake of today, I can only go south to ask Yuan Shu for shelter."

Yuan Yi made a quick decision, directly abandoned the soldiers and horses, and rode his horse south to Huainan to avoid trouble.

The rest of the soldiers and horses were at a loss, so they could only go to find Lu Xiang Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was originally a wall-to-wall grass, no one wanted to offend, hearing that Cao Song's father and son were killed, and Yuan Yi fled in fear of crime, Chen Yi's whole person was not good!

"Quick, quick, go to Yingchuan and inform Cao Yuanjun of this matter."

Chen Yi was shocked and frightened, and while sending someone to inform Cao Cao, he personally went to Huaxian County to collect the bodies of Cao Song's father and son, build a good coffin, and send someone to escort him to Xu County.

And in Xu County.

Cao Cao, who learned that Dong Zhuo was ambushed, was quite regretful: "I didn't expect Dong Zhuoquan to invade the government and the opposition, and he was killed by Lu Bu, which made Cao miss a great achievement." ”

thought that Guo Jia's plan could balance Liu Bei in Qingzhou.

Unexpectedly, this Qinwang Zhu Dong's great merit was taken away by Lu Bu.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lu Bu, it's just a husband." It was Lu Shangshu who really set up a situation to kill Dong Zhuo. ”

"It's just that Jia heard that after Lu Shangshu killed Dong Zhuo, he vomited blood and fell into a coma, and he is still delirious."

"And the ministers and officials of Chang'an are also taking the opportunity to compete for power and profit."

"Shang Shufu shot Xun Yu, and had to call himself sick at home."

"It's really ridiculous, although Dong Zhuo is dead, but Dong Zhuo's remnants are still there, such an urgent struggle for power and profit, this group of people is not far from death!"

There are still two shifts today, and the second shift is nine o'clock in the evening
