Lu Dynasty

Chapter 257 Cao Song's Distress
After I accepted Yan Xing, a small school came to report that there was an urgent military situation in Chang'an. Fortunately, we were only two hundred miles away from Chang'an in Yulu Mountain, and we could rush back to Chang'an in just one day and one night.Anyway, except for Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, the troops brought this time are not elites, so I took Lu Bu, Yan Xing, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao's subordinates first, and Li Ru took Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to walk slowly.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Jue and Guo Si told me that it turned out that the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were revived, and Zhu Jun and Huang Fusong recommended Cao to fight against the bandits.I told Li Jue and Guo Si to suppress them as much as possible, and wait until Cao picked up Han Xiandi.As for the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, I will go to pacify them myself in the future.Li Jue and Guo Si didn't care about this matter after listening to my words.

Cao has been very depressed since he received my letter.He didn't understand why I reminded him to be careful of thieves when his father passed through Xuzhou.But Cao remembers that I always tell what I say, so no matter how suspicious he was, he still sent an extra group of troops to pick up Cao Song.How to put it, Cao Song is Cao's most respected and beloved father, and Cao would not joke about his father's life.

When the cautious Cao learned that Cao Song was about to arrive in Xuzhou, he immediately sent two generals, Cao Hong and Cao Ren, with his army and horses, to pick up Cao Song.Tao Qian was very nervous because of the momentum, thinking that Cao was going to beat him.At this time, Cao Song passed by Xuzhou, and Tao Qian realized that Cao Hong and Cao Ren had come to pick up Cao Song.Tao Qian let go of the big stone in his heart, received Cao Song well, and asked Zhang Kai to escort him to Chenliu.

Cao Song was praised by Tao Qian, and he thought he was so great, so Cao Song lost his cautiousness at the beginning.Cao Song opened the box he was carrying in front of Zhang Kai.The box full of jewels, gold and silver treasures immediately dazzled Zhang Kai's eyes, arousing Zhang Kai's desire.

Zhang Kai was a remnant of the Yellow Turban Party. At that time, he was dealt with miserably, so he reluctantly surrendered to Tao Qian.Seeing so many gold, silver and jewels now, how could Zhang Kai not be dissatisfied?So he planned to kill Cao Song's family, seized property and fled.Originally, if Cao Song hadn't revealed these things, he would have been fine, but Tao Qian's humility made him a little carried away.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong were not stupid either. Cao Ren led his troops to wait outside Xuzhou, while Cao Hong took three hundred personal guards to pick up Cao Song in Xuzhou.But even the gods didn't want Tao Qian to spend his old age safely, and it seemed that the gods wanted the people of Xuzhou to suffer, when suddenly the heavy rain fell.Seeing the heavy rain, Cao Song immediately found a deserted temple to live in.

Cao Song is a bit stingy, usually when encountering such a situation, the master will arrange some food or something to appease the unhappiness of his subordinates, and will give a few small money if he finds it troublesome.But Cao Song looked at the complaining Zhang Kai and the five hundred escort soldiers and said nothing.Zhang Kai was already envious of Cao Song's wealth, but because of the heavy rain, he felt angry, so Zhang Kai summoned [-] soldiers under his command to discuss killing Cao Song and taking the property.

Zhang Kai can be regarded as a man of action, and he does what he says.He took five hundred soldiers to kill Cao Song's family one by one, and lit a fire by the way.Searching while setting fire, wanting to see if any fish slipped through the net.Cao Hong was leading his troops to meet Cao Song when he suddenly saw a temple on fire in front of him. He felt a little uneasy, so he rushed to the temple with his troops.

When Zhang Kai saw that there were troops coming, he didn't care about continuing to kill, so he took his soldiers and fled around.Cao Hong looked at the Xuzhou army who ran out of the temple and still didn't understand what happened.Just as he was about to grab one of them to ask what was going on, he saw a few house slaves in Cao's costumes lying on the ground.Cao Hong immediately understood, he was frightened and angry, and ordered [-] soldiers under his command to capture these Xuzhou troops, and if they resisted, they would be killed without mercy.

Originally, Zhang Kai would leave after the robbery, and he would be fine, but he wanted to kill them all.In fact, Zhang Kai would have escaped if I hadn't given my warning.Unfortunately, he is now captured alive by Cao Hong.Cao Hong found Cao Song in the toilet of the temple. Although Cao Song was filthy and scared to death, fortunately he was not injured.Cao Song took care of the filth on his body, pointed at Zhang Kai angrily and said, "Your Tao Xuzhou flatters me so much, how dare you do that?"

Zhang Kai rolled his eyes and said: I was forced to surrender to Tao Qian, and Tao Qian was not good to me.So Zhang Kai said proudly: "Old thief! We just want to show our respect for Tao Xuzhou because you are so arrogant towards Tao Xuzhou!"

"Okay! Okay!" Cao Song angrily snatched a horsewhip from Cao Hong's hand, slapped Zhang Kai a few times and said, "Then why do you want to rob property, kill people and set fire? Didn't you trap your family Tao Qian? Is it unrighteous?"

Zhang Kai said: "This is what Tao Xuzhou meant. He wants us to kill you and pretend to be a robber and run away, so that he can blame us for all the crimes, so that he can report to Cao. And if we get Cao Song's money, we will be able to be a rich man for half our life!" Despite Zhang Kai's lack of brains, this nonsense is very good.

Cao Song listened to Zhang Kai's words, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and saw his youngest son being hacked to death, Cao Song yelled: "Tao Qian! My Cao family is incompatible with you!" A mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth, and he passed out.

When Cao Hong saw this situation, he ordered people to pack up the belongings and tie up the prisoners, and rushed to Cao Ren with the unconscious Cao Song.When Cao Ren saw Cao Hong leading the unconscious Cao Song, he thought Cao Song was dead, and was so frightened that he almost passed out.It wasn't until Cao Hong told him that Cao Song had just fainted that he was relieved.And when Cao Hong told him Zhang Kai's words, Cao Ren was so angry that he was going to attack Xuzhou.

Although Cao Hong was also very angry, he still persuaded Cao Ren: "Zixiao, I know you are very angry, and I feel the same way as you. But without the master's consent, we will attack Xuzhou on our own. , you and I will die!" Cao Ren was originally a general who knows how to advance and retreat, and when he heard Cao Hong say this, he calmed down.So Cao Ren and Cao Hong reported the matter to Cao while teaching.

When Cao received the news from Cao Ren and Cao Hong, his heart was shaken again.To be honest, I indirectly saved his father, Cao is naturally very grateful to me.But my move made Cao's fear of me a little deeper.Cao looked at the message in his hand, shook his head, and handed the message to Xun Yu, a newly recruited counselor.

Xun Yu looked at the message in his hand and said in surprise: "My lord, where is this Lu Feng now? How did he know that the lord's father would be in danger?"

Cao smiled bitterly and said, "This Lv Feng is unpredictable, how do I know how he knows my father will be in danger! As for where he is, I'm afraid only God knows!"
