The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Cao Song wanted to scold people. He gave birth to a son not to support his old age, but to collect debts.

An ominous premonition hit Cao Song, and many years of experience told him to run away!

If you don’t run, you probably won’t be able to escape!

There was absolutely no way he could count on this bastard son in this life, so Cao Song quickly packed his luggage and rushed to Yanzhou with his family.

Cao Song's life came to an abrupt end because of his father who was a eunuch and because of Cao Cao, the "great filial son".

When Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, Cao Song refused to accompany him and took his young son Cao De to Langxie to avoid trouble.

The reason was that at that time Huang Wan, the shepherd of Yuzhou, went crazy and killed Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, he represented Cao Cao as a Xiaoqi captain. Cao Cao was dismissed from his official position and escaped from the capital.

The Cao family dispersed, and Cao Cao himself fled to Chenliu to join Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, while Cao Song fled to Langya Kingdom in Xuzhou with his son Cao De.

Cao Song felt miserable!

Is it his decision to become a eunuch?

At that time, Huang Wan, the shepherd of Yuzhou, had outstanding political achievements in the world. He was granted the title of Marquis within the Pass. What political achievements? Brush the political achievements of local snakes!

Huang Wan and Chen Fan were good colleagues back then, but were later implicated in the party's imprisonment and fell silent for almost 20 years.

You, Cao Cao, seem to have surrendered to the gentry, but your Cao family was founded by eunuchs. Although Cao Teng is a good eunuch, eunuchs are just eunuchs!

Huang Wan hated eunuchs the most in his life, fuck him!

As a local king cobra, the Cao family unexpectedly encountered Huang Wan who had soldiers in his hands after the fall of the court. The Cao family is now in trouble. Not only has Cao Song fallen, but even the eldest son of the Cao family has become a wanted criminal.

Huang Wan launched a very brutal suppression of Cao Cao. Cao Cao's clan brother, Cao Zhen's father, was killed at this time.

Why did Cao Cao later raise Cao Zhen as his own son, and was even closer to him than to his own son?

The Cao family was so badly punished by Huang Wan that even Cao Song had to avoid his influence and ran to Langya County to avoid trouble.

The Cao family had good relations with Liu Rong, King of Langya. Cao Song took refuge in Langya and was protected by Liu Rong. The Cao family had good relations with Liu Rong. In 190 (the first year of Chuping), after Dong Zhuo moved the emperor to Chang'an, Liu Rong, king of Langyashun, sent his younger brother Liu Miao to the capital to pay tribute. Liu Miao vigorously promoted Cao Cao to the emperor, saying that he was very important to the emperor. Extremely loyal. Cao Cao was very grateful for this.

Why did Cao Song leave Langya? The main reason was not because Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, but because Liu Rong, king of Langya Shun, passed away this year, and Cao Song's biggest backer in Langya fell.

Because of Liu Han, the Liu family's status not only did not decline after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, but actually rose a lot.

Especially since last year, Liu Han swallowed up two states in one go and killed so many people to establish his authority, which made the princes even more afraid. The Liu clan members under the princes' rule would not provoke them if they could, so as not to be used as evidence to kill them.

If the new King Langya continues to protect Cao Song, there will actually be no problem.

However, the Langya Kingdom was not just as simple as the death of its king. King Shun Liu Rong may not have had a legitimate son at that time, so Langya was cut off from the country Zuo, and the Langya Kingdom was about to be exempted and changed to Langya County.

Then, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's black hands can openly extend into Langya territory.

How long will it take if Cao Song doesn't run away now? In fact, since the death of Langya Shun King Liu Rong, Tao Qian's Cavalry Commander Zang Ba has stationed in Kaiyang County, the capital of Langya Kingdom. If Cao Song left a little later, he would be gone.

Regarding Cao Song's death, there have always been two theories. Some think that Tao Qian was unjust; others think that it was Tao Qian who did it.

The statement in "Three Kingdoms" is relatively straightforward: "Dong Zhuo's rebellion took refuge in Langxie and was harmed by Tao Qian."

To put it simply, it was Tao Qian who killed him. The statement in "Shishuoxinyu" is more detailed. On the way to Taishan County, Cao Song had already reached the junction of the two states. Tao Qian sent thousands of cavalry to chase and kill him.

But there is actually a small problem here. Even without Liu Han, could Tao Qian have so many cavalry in Xuzhou?

Even Cao Cao at the time couldn't muster so many cavalry.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Ying Shao Biography" says: "Former Taiwei Cao Song and Zide came from Langxie to Taishan. Shao sent troops to meet them, but before they arrived, Tao Qian, the shepherd of Xuzhou, and his son blamed Song Zicao and attacked him several times. , so he sent Qingqi to pursue Song and De, and killed them at the county boundary. Shao was afraid of Cao's execution, so he abandoned the county and went to Jizhou to pastor Yuan Shao."

That is to say, Cao Cao made Tao Qian anxious. Tao Qian became angry and sent cavalry to catch up with Cao Song and kill him.

Anyway, Cao Song died like this, and the gray income over the years became Tao Qian's military expenses. .

Tao Qian said that he was afraid of being beaten by Cao Cao and did not dare to offend Cao Song, so he sent 500 people to send Cao Song out of the country. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kai, who was born in the Yellow Turban, took advantage of Cai and killed Cao Song.

After all the talk, Tao Qian refused to admit it.

Cao Cao threatened to swear: "Tao Qian sent troops to kill my father. This hatred is irreconcilable. Send an order to Xiahou Dun, the vanguard, but anyone who dares to save Xuzhou will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Cao Cao led his army towards Xuzhou...

Cao Song's death gave Cao Cao an excuse to launch a war against Xuzhou. He withdrew his troops because of lack of food and grass. After the spring harvest, the troops and horses were strong. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he didn't capture Xuzhou, it would be too late.

Cao Song helped Cao Cao before his death, and he also exerted his residual enthusiasm after his death.

Wherever Cao Cao led his soldiers, they slaughtered innocent people and destroyed all lives.

Tao Qian's mistake was that the timing was wrong. If he had sent troops when Cao Cao first arrived in Dongjun, he would have taken a bite of fat. Now not only did he not get a bite of meat, but he also got angry. Cao Cao has Qingzhou soldiers, whose combat effectiveness is comparable to Tao Qian's Danyang elite soldiers. Now it would be foolish to trouble Cao Cao.

But to be honest, this cannot be blamed on Tao Qian. In the battle of Luoyang, Tao Qian also suffered heavy losses and his elite troops were reduced. He returned to Xuzhou angrily and wanted to work hard, but he was old and lacked energy. .

When Dong Zhuo entered Luo, the world was in chaos, and Xuzhou was not immune. Although Tao Qian had great ambitions, there were powerful nobles who held him back.

As a noble himself, it is impossible for the local nobles to do anything that goes against the interests of the nobles. The local nobles do not want to participate in the disputes outside and only want to benefit from Xuzhou.

Especially Mi Fang, the spy of the King of Hejian!

Everyone knew that Mi Zhu was working under the King of Hejian, but Mi Fang stayed in Xuzhou to guard the property.

This kid does nothing but inherit the family business and start a business.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this guy spent all his wealth to buy people and land for no other reason!

Over the years, Mi's land in Xuzhou has expanded four times!

The Mi family had more than 100,000 domestic slaves. If she was ruthless, Mi Fang could organize an army of ten thousand people in an instant. This was like a nail driven into Xuzhou by the King of Hejian, which made Tao Qian very uncomfortable.

Now that Cao Cao was coming, Tao Qian couldn't care less. He just hoped for a miracle from heaven and asked Cao Cao to withdraw his troops quickly. (End of chapter)
