Chapter 315 Cao Cao's benevolence
Cao Cao leaned against a big tree and fell asleep as soon as his eyes were closed. However, not long after he slept, suddenly there were bursts of fierce fighting not far away.
Cao Cao was shocked. He thought that Dong Zhuo's pursuers were chasing him again. He jumped up quickly and stared straight behind him. Cao Cao looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find the figure of the pursuer, so he secretly relaxed.
"Aman, are you awake? Oh, it must have been the sound of fighting that woke you up. Don't worry, this is not a chase. I just led someone over to have a look. This team of horse thieves was robbing a small village.
Cao Cao frowned, forced the sleepiness away, and then said a little unhungry to Xiahou Dun.
"Since there are horse thieves doing evil and harming the people. Why didn't Yuan Rang lead the troops to save him!?"
"Aman, I really don't want to stand idly by. But now I'm wanted by Dong Gou, and my portraits are posted everywhere. If I lead the army to save, if it is recognized by the horse thief, I will be besieged by the pursuers, and I'm afraid it will kill Ah Man!"
"What's the difference between death and beasts? Yuan Rang, we just want to have a clear conscience. Everyone, get up and wipe out these evil horse thieves with me.
Cao Cao's face condensed and said without a doubt. When Xiahou Dun saw this, he knew that he could not persuade Cao Cao, so he had to follow his orders. Soon, Cao Cao led less than 200 soldiers and horses to the village where there was a sound of fighting.
At this time, there was a flame in the village, and a team of 100 horse thieves ran wildly in the village. As long as they saw men, no matter how old or young they were killed. Some strong men took hoes and sticks to resist, but they were not the opponents of horse thieves who lived a life of licking blood with knives. Soon the strong men in the village were killed.
An old man who seemed to be highly valued in the village was stepped on his head by a giant man. Next to him, there were countless villagers kneeling on their knees and begging for mercy. Please let the old man go. However, the giant man pretended that he could not hear it. He stepped on the old man with one foot, holding the girl who had been as beautiful as flowers in one hand, and rubbed the girl's body wantonly with the other hand, and kept laughing in his mouth. When many horse thieves next to them saw it, they couldn't stop their impulse and rushed to the crying women around them, tearing up their clothes like wolves.
Cao Cao came to the front of the village and looked at this tragic scene. He was immediately furious and shouted!
"In broad daylight, how dare you jian** women and kill people! It's God's will! Yuan Rang, immediately chop all these horse thieves into meat sauce for me!"
"The last general takes the order!!"
When Xiahou Dun saw the surrounding scenes, he was so angry that he was furious all over his body. With a big knife, he led the soldiers into the village. Those horse thieves who were still doing evil were unexpectedly cut to death by the rushing soldiers. Xiahou Dun rushed straight. The giant man who stepped on the old man saw that Xiahou Dun was as powerful as a tiger and was frighten. He hurriedly pushed the woman in his hand. Xiahou Dun was afraid of bumping into the woman and quickly pulled the reins. The horse was too fast and hit the door of a wooden house. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun reacted in time. He had already jumped and waved a knife at the giant. The giant man was ready for a long time. He carried the knife to meet him. When the knives touched each other, there was a spark. Xia Hou Dun roared like a tiger, which scared the giant man to take three steps in a row. Xia Hou Dun's momentum suddenly increased and danced with a knife. The knife was sharp and fierce, which made the giant man difficult to fight. Just when Xia Hou Dun dropped the seventh knife. The giant man's big knife cracked in response, and the whole person was split in half by Xiahou Dun's knife.
At the same time, the surrounding horse thieves had been killed seven or eight times, and the rest saw that the giant was killed. They were immediately scared and quickly rode the horse to escape. However, Cao Cao didn't want to let a horse thief go. He quickly led the soldiers to chase him, chased him two miles away, killed them all, and then led the army back to the village.
As soon as Cao Cao Cao returned to the door of the village, the old man who had just been trampled on his head by the giant, with the villagers who escaped from the knife of the horse thief, knelt down at Cao Cao.
"The general was benevolent and saved the lives of 120 villagers in our Niuhe Village. We can't repay you. We can only kowtow to thank the general for his kindness.
The old man said excitedly with a crying voice, saying that he kowtowed heavily, and a group of villagers behind him also followed suit and kowtowed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao quickly got off the horse and helped the old man up.
"The road is uneven and draws a knife to help. I'm just trying to help, and I dare not accept such a big gift from you. Please stand up and don't let me be blessed.
At Cao Cao's hard request, the villagers of Niuhe Village stood up one after another, and Cao Cao and the villagers of Niuhe Village said polite words. I learned that the old man was the village head of Niuhe Village. After thanking Cao Cao repeatedly, the old village head asked Cao Cao's name. Cao Cao was running for his life now, so he did not dare to show his real name, so he casually found a name to fool him. Later, the old village head asked why Cao Cao appeared here. Cao Cao answered easily, saying that he was a prince of a family who was studying abroad. He happened to pass by here today. The old village head saw that although Cao Cao was mediocre, he was extraordinary and full of unusual atmosphere. At that time, many men and brothers took their private soldiers out. Most of these private soldiers were dressed in armor and dressed almost the same as the court soldiers. Therefore, there is no doubt that I believe in Cao Cao's words. Moreover, he and a group of Niuhe villagers kindly invited Cao Cao to stay and rest for a few days, which also gave them a chance to repay their lives.
And Cao Cao saw that all the soldiers around him were looking forward to it, and from their tired faces, he knew that they were already exhausted. What's more, in the future, they would have to go through a long life-running career with him. If they didn't have enough strength, I'm afraid it would be unsustainable.
After thinking for a while, Cao Cao decided to stay for a day. When he waited for tomorrow morning, he would recuperate and lead the army to continue to escape.
Cao Cao, the savior, was willing to stay. The villagers of Niuhe Village were overjoyed and treated him very warmly. They all took out and shared the best food and drinks in their family. Cao Cao and his subordinates were finally able to relax their tense nerves and eat a reassuring meal. After they were all devouring and eating enough, they rested in the room given up by the villagers.
At night, Niuhe Village was so quiet that people felt a thrilling feeling.
"What!? You said that the benefactor was Cao Cao who assassinated Dong!! It's a big deal! Rat, don't talk nonsense!"
"Really, village head. I just came back from Luoyang a few days ago. I can remember the portrait of Cao Cao clearly. You know what, village head? Cao Cao's head is worth a lot of money, and he can also be sealed as a marquis of ten thousand households!"
In the old village head's house, a thin and sinister man whispered to the old village head in a ** person's tone.
This sinister man, named Huang Er, is cunning and afraid of death. Today, when the horse thief attacked the village, he had been hiding in the water altar at home before he escaped.
"Oops. The weasel! Even if the benefactor is Cao Cao, we can't take revenge. Moreover, I heard that Dong Zhuoqi is the master of power, the concubine of the palace, who sleeps in the dragon bed of the emperor at night, is the biggest treacherous minister in the history of the Han Dynasty. The benefactor killed him, which made him even more brave and righteous. We should worship such people. How can we betray them!"
"Hey hey. Village head, don't talk big here. Let me tell you, Dong Zhuo also said that the harborer is guilty! If the court learns that our Niuhe Village has taken in Cao Cao and does not report it, then Niuhe Village will become a dead village. In fact, even if the village head disagrees, it can't change Cao Cao's fate.
Because I had already spread the news all over the village. Except for the village head, no one in the village agreed to tie up Cao Cao and give it to the court in exchange for thousands of money and ten thousand marquises.
"You! You! How dare you not discuss this big thing with me in advance!! Weasel, I am the head of a village! So...
These tens of thousands of households are mine! No one can grab it! Otherwise, just tell Cao Cao that you have ruined your big plan!"
Huang Er seemed to have long guessed that the old village head would change his mind, and an extremely sinister smile appeared at the corners of his mouth at the same time.
It's the third update at night. Cao Cao and others slept soundly, but Xia Hou Dun was the only one. I don't know why his eyes jumped all night and it was hard to sleep.
Suddenly, Xiahou Dun heard countless subtle footsteps outside the room and suddenly bounced up, narrowed his eyes and sneaked to the window to have a look. At this look, he was shocked and angry.
The Niihe villagers were all alert and their eyes were crazy. They actually surrounded their houses with weapons and hemp ropes.
Xiahou Dun looked at their eyes and knew what they were going to do, because he was too familiar with this look. It can be seen everywhere in Luoyang. This is an endless desire for power and money.
"These white-eyed wolves, Meng De did not hesitate to reveal his identity to save them. But they avenged their kindness and wanted to tie Meng De in exchange for gold, silver and power!"
Xiahou Dun was so angry that he picked up the big knife on the table, kicked the door open, and shouted loudly!
"You ungrateful white-eyed wolves deserve to die!!"
Xiahou Dun rushed out of the room, came to the two men, and killed them at the same time with a knife. Xiahou Dun's shouting of killing soon woke up the soldier under Cao Cao's command. The soldier fled for his life for days. Hearing the shouting of killing, his spirit immediately tightened up and quickly picked up the weapon and killed him. When they saw what the Niuhe villagers were holding in their hands, they immediately understood that they were furious. At this time, these people were no longer ordinary people in their eyes, but white-eyed beasts who did not know kindness.
"Ouch! Rat, you hurt me too! Spare my life!!"
When the old village head saw Xiahou Dun and a group of soldiers coming out, he was so scared on the spot that he knelt down with tears on his face and begged for mercy. Xiahou Dun sneered repeatedly, thinking that the wolf barked and barked, and led the man and horse to kill the villagers of Niuhe.
For a moment, screams, begging for mercy, and fighting were endless. Niuhe Village was once again stained with blood, and soon these Niuhe villagers turned into cold corpses with miserable faces.
After the sad sound of weapons stabbing, it stopped for a long time. Cao Cao, with a sad face, came out. He looked at the corpses all over the ground, and his mood was indescribably complicated.
In fact, when Xiahou Dun killed the first person, he woke up. He had been listening to the sound outside the room.
