Chapter 438 Cao's Opera
Zhang Kui had time to react, and saw a huge dark shadow rushing in. He faintly saw two cold iron halberds and cut his head.
Zhang Kai hurriedly raised the knife to block it. Unexpectedly, the huge dark shadow, the power was so terrible that a pair of iron halberd fell. When the knife in his hand was cut violently, it suddenly fell. Zhang Kai's head was like a big watermelon, bursting suddenly, and his blood and his brain flew around. Several soldiers next to Zhang Jian fled in panic when they saw that Zhang Yu died so horrible. The huge shadow, smiling coldly, as if killing ants, inserted a pair of iron halberd into the waist, and then took out a few halberd, and every time it was thrown, it would make a scream.
At the same time, in a row of houses, there were bursts of sad screams in almost every house.
"It's haunted! It's haunted!! Where on earth did these people come from!!!"
While making the soldiers resist, the little leader under Zhang Yu's command hurriedly ordered the candle in the house. They killed these guards just now, so what the hell are those people outside? Ghosts!!
When the candlelight lit, the little boss saw the body of Xue Linlin in **, and his whole face suddenly turned blue. Although I can't see the appearance of the body clearly, the bare head is so recognizable. The person they just killed turned out to be the monk in this temple!!
"Isn't it! They also have the intention to kill us!!!"
The little boss understood in an instant and quickly shouted that we had been plotted!
When Zhang Ku's soldiers in the next house heard it, it was suddenly in chaos. Several little leaders led several pairs of soldiers out desperately and fled outside the temple in the heavy rain.
It's just that when these little leaders fled to the front door of the temple or to the back door, they all retreated in despair. Because, I don't know when the whole ancient temple was surrounded by a soldier and horse.
In the night, Dian Wei killed more and more crazy, just like the king of the Ming Dynasty coming to the world again and killing all creatures. He danced the iron halberd to kill wildly from the temple. Countless people died in his hands. Later, the soldiers and horses outside the temple rushed in, and the guards in the temple surrounded and killed Zhang Kui's remnants at the same time, until dawn. Zhang Kui's 500 soldiers survived in this one-sided massacre.
The corridors, monastic rooms, and the surrounding Buddha statues in the ancient temple are all covered with blood and broken meat. Cao Song walked into the ancient temple with a cold face with the support of a group of soldiers and horses. He walked to the side of the bodies of the monks who were killed by Zhang Kui last night. After making a deep Buddha ceremony, he then pointed to the corpses of Zhang Kui soldiers on the other side and shouted to the soldiers next to him.
"Peel off their armor and put on your armor and my small clothes."
After Cao Song made the order, he left the ancient temple, walked into a carriage, and sat quietly without saying a word. Two hours later, after the crime scene in the ancient temple was completed, Dian Wei led the escort out of the ancient temple and came to Cao Song's carriage and said a few words respectfully.
"Good. Well, let's go."
Cao Song slowly opened his eyes, said something plainly, and then the motorcade began to act. Dian Wei led the guard and the soldiers and horses who were ambush last night, and rushed to Yanzhou all the way.
Half a month later, Tao Qian saw that Zhang Qian had not returned for a long time, and he was in a bad mood for days. It seemed that there would be an ominous hunch that a great disaster was coming, and he was about to send soldiers and horses to find him. Unexpectedly, before the soldiers were summoned, Cao Bao, the general under Tao Qian's command, rushed over in a hurry and knelt down.
"Lord!!! It's not a big deal!! Cao Mengde sent a bloody letter, and he wanted to use 100,000 elite soldiers to invade Xuzhou!!"
"What!! I was kind to his father and let Zhang Yu escort him home. Why did Cao Mengde bully me so much!!"
"Lord, the problem is that Zhang Kai is an ungrateful and unrevegettable thief! On the way to escort Cao Taigong, Zhang Kai saw that there was a lot of money in Cao Taigong's convoy, so he had a bad heart and returned the soldiers under his command to seize money and kill him. Cao Taigong was lost in the chaotic war and disappeared. The guard soldiers who fled back told Cao Cao. I heard from the messenger that after Cao Cao heard it, he screamed on the spot, cried to the ground, and fell into a coma for several days before he woke up in pain! After Cao Cao woke up, he immediately repaired a blood letter, and at the same time, he knew the army and wanted to ask the lord for his father! Otherwise, I will go out to wash the land of Xuzhou!"
"Qian originally wanted to get married with Cao Cao, but he had no eyes. He believed in the wrong thief, which caused a big disaster. Zhang Kai is greedy for money by nature. I think he must have evil intentions, so he will say that he wants to escort Cao Taigong! It's really a sin of modesty for this!!"
Tao Qian listened and retreated three steps in a row. His face was full of sadness and regret. A breath of heat surged into his heart and almost vomited blood.
"Lord!! At present, there is no time to regret it. I hope that the lord will immediately recruit all the soldiers of Xuzhou to fight against Cao Cao's 100,000 elite soldiers. Otherwise, Cao Cao is full of hatred now. Once 100,000 elite soldiers are killed in Xuzhou, they will definitely be in the end!"
"No! If so, won't I be guilty of harming his father? Cao Bao, you send thousands of soldiers first to search for the area where Cao Taigong was killed. Then he recruited 30,000 soldiers, and the old man led him out to welcome him and explained the reason to Cao Mengde. I hope he could persuade him and give him a month to find the trace of Cao Taigong.
"But Lord, Lord Cao has been in danger for half a month, and there is almost no possibility of life. If Cao Cao waited for a month without fruit, he must have a deeper hatred, as if the lord is deliberately delaying time, collecting soldiers and horses, and playing tricks on him!"
Tao Qian suddenly lookedning, and his body was trembling frequently, as if he had a big choice.
"If you really can't find Cao Taigong after a month. For the safety of the people of Xuzhou, I volunteered to go to Cao's camp to plead guilty. At that time, Cao Cao will kill him, and he will do whatever he wants!"
"Lord!! You are the lord of Xuzhou, how can you!!"
"Enough!! I have made up my mind. It is precisely because I is a Xuzhou herdsman that I can't tolerate any Xuzhou people. Because of the mistakes I committed, I died innocently! Cao Bao, you should hurry up and execute the order I just dropped!"
"Yes! Lord!!"
As soon as Cao Bao gritted his teeth and took the order with a sad face, he walked out of the county hall.
But Cao Cao said that he led 100,000 elite soldiers to Xuzhou. Among them, Xiahou Dun, Yu Ban and Dianwei each led 10,000 soldiers to kill Pengcheng, Xuzhou for the vanguard army. The vanguard army attacked wildly for several days, and almost half of the cities and counties of Pengcheng were broken in a few days.
Until five days later, Tao Qian led 30,000 elite soldiers to Pengcheng, Tan County. When Xiahou Dun saw that there were heavy troops guarding in Tan County, he also thought that Cao Cao had ordered him not to attack in a hurry, so he ordered the whole army to settle down the camp for the time being. And the defenders of Tan County also guarded the city without any action under the strict order of Tao Qian. After Cao Cao's army arrived, 100,000 elite soldiers set up a large array. Cao Cao stood in front of the battle, looking angry and sad, pointing to the head of the city and calling Tao Qian to see him.
Tao Qian heard Cao Cao coming and hurriedly led the troops out to welcome him. Looking at the generals and soldiers from afar, they all looked hateful and looked terrible. He gritted his teeth and seemed to have a deep hatred with the whole Xuzhou army. I also saw that the army in the Cao array raised two flags, and the big book was the word 'Return my blood relatives'. Tao Qian's heart jumped when he saw it, and his whole body was cold. When Cao Cao saw Tao Qian's figure, he immediately rode out of the battle, ran to the vicinity, and raised his whip and cursed. Tao Qian also came out of the door and bowed to salute.
"Meng De is angry! I wanted to get married with Ming Gong, so I promised Zhang Kai to escort him. Unexpectedly, he got up early and plotted to kill Ming Gong's blood relatives. At this point, I didn't dare to stay out of the matter and get rid of myself. I hope Meng De can give me a month to look for the trace of Cao Taigong to get rid of Meng De's hatred!"
"Huh!! Old man! Your generals still dare to talk nonsense about murdering my father!! It has been nearly half a month since my father was killed. If he survived, how could he not come to see me!! As a son of man, I, Cao Mengde, have not been able to repay my father's great kindness, but he was murdered by your generals. Now his life and death are uncertain. If I only know how to stand in the world while waiting and standing by, won't this be laughed at by all the people in the world!"
"If it's fruitless in January! The old man volunteered to go to Mengde's camp to plead guilty, and let Meng De deal with it! This matter is the fault of the wrong thief, and it has nothing to do with the people of Xuzhou. Meng De's 100,000 elite soldiers came to Xuzhou, and the swords were blind, and the people would be implicated. Why does Meng De involve his anger on the innocent people? I hope Meng De can recruit troops for the time being and wait for a month. I promised that no matter what the result will be in a month, I will give Meng De an explanation!"
Tao Qian worshiped and worshipped immediately, with a generous attitude, as if he was ready to make amends for Cao Cao's anger at any time.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. Although he looked sad and angry on the surface, in fact, his brain was spinning and he was calculating quickly. After a burst of silence, Cao Cao deliberately suppressed his anger and hatred, and then showed a little unbearance.
"I also know that if I have 100,000 elite soldiers washed away Xuzhou, and 600,000 people in Xuzhou will be eaten by the war, most of them will be killed or injured. This is really hurtful, which is not my intention. However, as a son of man, I, Cao Mengde, if I am the father of the family, what's really the matter? This hatred is not the same! Old man, I swear to be brave and hate me with snow!"
Tao Qian originally heard Cao Cao's words, and his heart hanging high in his throat just fell. Suddenly, he saw Cao Cao gritting his teeth and hating. Suddenly, his face turned gray and gloomy.
"But! My father's life and death are not clear. If he can avoid disaster, but I have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people because of you alone, then what's the difference between me and Dong Zhongying in the past!
But! There is no reason to say it. How can I know that you are deliberately delaying the time, or inviting rescuers from other parties, or collecting troops in the rear!?"
Cao Cao changed his mouth repeatedly and took one of Tao Qian's heart straight up and down. How can Tao Qian be extremely deep in the city? He is good at attacking Cao Cao's opponents and being led by Cao Cao step by step.
"Meng De, I know that I am guilty of a felony, how dare I pretend to be mysterious!"
"I know the face but I don't know the heart!! If you really want to truce for a month, withdraw your troops and horses from Pengcheng and Xia Pi counties!"
Cao Cao finally threw out a deadly fishing net. His words exploded in Tao Qian's ear like a heavy bullet. There were only four counties in Xuzhou, Pengcheng, Xia Pi, Donghai and Guangling. If Pengcheng and Xia Pi, he gave up almost half of Xuzhou to Cao Cao's hands. And there are only four counties in Xuzhou, but the area of each county is very wide. There are only four counties in Xuzhou, but there are exactly 80 counties!
"This, this!! It's a big deal. I don't know if Meng De can give me half a day to discuss it with my advisers before making a decision!"
"Old man!! You really have bad intentions!! Where is Xiahouyuan? Prepare the vanguard troops immediately and prepare to attack the city!!"
Cao Cao's slender and sharp eyes suddenly burst out a strong light, and he raised his voice. In the array not far from the rear, Xiahou Dun immediately roared repeatedly. The 30,000 vanguard troops shouted in unison, raised cold spears one by one, with a violent fighting spirit and turbulent momentum, which scared Tao Qian's face.
