Chapter 194

According to the information, the situation changed this time was a few months ago after Cao Cao received the young emperor Liu Xie, who ordered the princes of the world to come to Xuchang to meet the young emperor! But later, except for a few princes who did not have much power to go to Xuchang to meet the young emperor, most of the princes ignored Cao Cao at all! They all found reasons to shirk, and some people even didn't even find reasons! Cao Cao did not take any action at the beginning, but was busy moving the capital and moving the court from Luoyang to Xuchang! After Xuchang was settled, the situation was relatively stable and he had settled it within himself! He made excuses to attack those princes who were relatively small but did not come to Beijing to meet to ease his internal conflicts!

Originally, Zhou Yu and others arrived in Xuchang. After Zhou Yu met Cao Cao, they reached an agreement with Cao Cao. Cao Cao recognized Sun Ce's rule in Jiangdong! Zhou Yu agreed to help Cao Cao, diverting Yuan Shu's troops from the territory where Yuan Shu and Cao Cao contacted, causing Yuan Shu's hinterland to be empty and convenient for Cao Cao's attack on Yuan Shu. Finally, both sides divided Yuan Shu's power to achieve a win-win goal! As a result, Zhou Yu's promise was indeed fulfilled! In order to fulfill the promise, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu

He deliberately seduced Yuan Shu, which made him have a strong affair with the Jiangdong area. Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong in the front, and Sun Ce was lucky to pick up the advantage behind. In this way, most of Yuan Shu's troops were transferred from the area where he came into contact with Cao Cao and ran to the Jiangdong area! Yuan Shu's hinterland showed a very empty situation, which was the best time for Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu's territory! Cao Cao was also ready to attack Yuan Shu's territory! But who knew that something happened again at this time!

But this time the accident was Cao Cao's father! Cao Cao now occupied Yangzhou and Sili and northern Yuzhou, with 500,000 troops, and obtained a young emperor. He was named Prime Minister. He was also successful and famous, and could shine his ancestors! Cao Cao was also a filial son. When he was so glorious, he thought of his old father and wanted to bring his father to him, one to let him get filial piety nearby, and the other to show off to his father! Although Liu Bin, who was always pressing on him in the whole world, no matter how much he said, Cao Cao was also a great prince who was intimidating the world! It was also necessary to show off to his father!

So Cao Cao sent Mount Tai prefect Ying Shao to take him to Langya County to take his father over! Cao Cao's family originally lived in Chenliu, but since the Yellow Turban Uprising, they fought with the government troops in the Central Plains. In order to take refuge, Cao Hao moved from Chenliu to Langya, and then lived in seclusion in Langya! After receiving Cao Cao's letter, Cao Hao was also very happy. His son did not disappoint his expectations and had a promising future. Now he has to take him to enjoy his blessings. Of course, Cao Hao was happy! Then he and his younger brother, Cao Cao's uncle Cao De, and a family of more than 40 people, brought about a hundred followers, carrying his wealth in Langya, and more than a hundred cars rushed to Yanzhou! From Langya to Yanzhou, he had to pass by Xuzhou's territory in the middle!

The governor of Xuzhou is Tao Qian! Tao Qian is gentle and pure! The last time Cao Cao issued an order to let the princes of the world come to Beijing to meet the little emperor Liu Xie, he did not go! His reason was also sick! Of course, he was not like other princes, who deliberately refused to go. He was indeed sick! He couldn't go even if he wanted to go! Now he heard the news that Cao Cao was preparing to use the excuse that some princes did not come to Beijing to meet the little emperor, and was preparing to attack the princes who had not arrived in Beijing! Tao Qian and Cao Cao were old acquaintances! When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, they knew that Cao Cao was very powerful in leading troops to fight. Now Cao Cao is occupant of two and half states, and has an army of 500,000 if he wants to attack him, he will definitely not be Cao Cao's opponent!

So Tao Qian wanted to repair a good relationship with Cao Cao and curry favor with Cao Cao so that he would not use the excuse to attack his Xuzhou! As mentioned earlier, Tao Qian is gentle and pure. Simply put, he is too honest and will not curry favor with others. When he was in the position, how could he know that Cao Cao's father Cao Hao and his family would borrow from Xuzhou to Yanzhou! He knew that this was a great opportunity! If he curled up with Cao Cao's father Cao Hao, then Cao Cao would be embarrassed to target himself!

So Tao Qian went out to greet Cao Hao and his group in person. He was very respectful to Cao Hao along the way, almost receiving Cao Hao according to the etiquette of his younger generation! After borrowing Cao Hao to Xuzhou, Tao Qian held a big banquet in the city and warmly treated Cao Hao, and he had been entertaining for two days! Tao Qian's kind hospitality made Cao Hao feel very comfortable! He almost thought that the old guy in front of him was his biological son, and he was a little reluctant to leave! However, he also knew that the reason why Tao Qian treated him like this was because his son was good and capable, so he finally had to go to Yanzhou and go to his real son!

Of course, Tao Qian would not stop Cao Hao from leaving. He felt numb when he flattered Cao Hao these two days, and his goal had been achieved. He didn't want to treat Cao Hao like this all the time! But everything he did must have a beginning and an end! When Cao Hao came, he was respectful. Now that he was leaving, he couldn't be rude! So Tao Qian personally sent Cao Hao out of the country! In order to prevent Cao Hao from encountering any troubles and dangers on the way, Cao Cao threw his anger on him, Tao Qian also specially ordered the commander Zhang Kai to escort Cao Hao with more than 500 Xuzhou soldiers along the way!

Cao Hao took his family and his family to leave Xuzhou and walked towards Yanzhou! It was late summer and early autumn, and it was raining season. It was almost evening when the sky suddenly rained heavily! Cao Hao and his group had no choice but to stay in an ancient temple halfway! When they arrived at the temple, Cao Hao settled the family and asked Zhang Kai to place the more than 500 soldiers he brought in on the corridors on both sides of the hall! It was raining heavily at that time, and these soldiers were all wet in the corridors, his clothes, armor, etc.! This happened, and the soldiers naturally complained! He was kind enough to escort Cao Hao's family, but who knew that Cao Hao's family was hiding inside to shelter from the rain, and letting him wait for him to get wet outside. It was too much!

When Zhang Kai heard the complaints from the soldiers, he summoned his leaders to discuss in a quiet place. Zhang Kai said, "We were all warriors of the Yellow Turban Army! In desperation, we had to surrender to Tao Qian! But we have never gained any benefits! But now the Cao family has countless supplies and vehicles, and there must be a lot of money! If you want to get rich, it is not difficult! As long as we all kill into the hall at the third hour tonight, we will kill all the Cao Hao family! Then this money will naturally belong to us! At the very least, we can find a mountain together, become a bandit, and recreate our Yellow Turban era! What do you think?" Zhang Kai's subordinates were originally some desperate and greedy people, and they were not happy at all under Tao Qian's men! Now that we hear that there is a chance to get rich, we naturally agree to everything!

So at the third evening, Zhang Kai and others took advantage of the heavy rain before they stopped and rushed into the hall together! Because the heavy rain was too loud, and Cao Hao was old and not so sleepy, so he sat in the hall. Suddenly, he heard the sound of killing outside, and was shocked! Cao De hurried out with his sword and saw what was going on, but as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he met Zhang Kai and the others. Before he could react, he was dismembered by a random knife! When Cao Hao saw that the situation was not good, he quickly pulled a concubine and ran back, preparing to climb over the wall from behind to escape! But when he arrived at the backyard, the concubine was too

He is fat and he is too heavy to overturn the high walls of the backyard, making Cao Hao so anxious! (Sweat first! I really doubt Cao Hao's taste! That was not like the Tang Dynasty era when fat was beautiful! What kind of person Cao Hao is not good for marrying! He actually married such a concubine! It is really puzzling! It seems that Cao Hao adopted the eunuch Cao Teng, and his taste has become different! In history, Cao Hao had no chance to escape because he married such an obese concubine, so he must have died very unwillingly!) Seeing that Zhang Kai and the others were about to kill him, Cao Hao was about to encounter an unexpected accident! In despair, Cao Hao could only squint his eyes and wait for death!

But before Zhang Kai and others could reach the front, Cao Hao suddenly heard another shout of killing from outside! Originally, Cao Hao thought that the other party had reinforcements, but when he saw Zhang Kai and others panic, it seemed that they did not expect such a thing to happen. Moreover, even Cao Hao ignored it and turned around and started fighting again! Seeing this situation, Cao Hao couldn't help but ignite hope again! If the newly opened person outside was his own, then he would have hope this time! After a long time, the sound of fighting outside gradually fell down!

Cao Hao and his concubine looked at each other, not knowing what was going on! After a while, a group of people came to the back hall and saw Cao Hao. The leader quickly knelt down on his luggage regardless of the water on the ground and said, "The uncle was scared when his nephew rescued him late! It was really a crime to die! Please punish him!" Cao Hao saw that he was his nephew Xiahou Dun! Cao Hao was originally a descendant of the Xiahou family and was brothers to Xiahou Dun's father, but later Cao Hao was adopted by the eunuch Cao Teng and became a member of the Cao family! Strictly speaking, Xiahou Dun was indeed Cao Hao's nephew!

When Cao Hao saw that it was Xiahou Dun, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then he quickly helped Xiahou Dun up and asked him what was going on! Why did he suddenly lead troops here! Xiahou Dun then said that when Cao Cao asked Ying Shao to pick up Cao Hao, he didn't think so much. He thought that he was now in power and had an emperor in his hands. Except for Liu Bin from Youzhou, there was no enemy! There was no particularly chaotic place from Langya to Yanzhou. Although there were many places on the way, the princes in these places would definitely not dare to offend him, which would be unfavorable to his father. Besides, he was preparing to attack Yuan Shu now, and his troops were tight, so he did not intend to send troops to support him!

However, an unknown official under Cao Cao's command made different opinions! He thought that if he was not afraid of ten thousand, he was afraid of something! The journey from Langya to Yanzhou was long, and Cao Hao and the others were carrying so much money, it was inevitable that there would be some unsightly bandits, who would be moved by money, which was not good for Cao Hao and the others! So it would be better to send some people to pick him up! Sending people to pick him up can not only ensure the safety of Cao Hao and his group, but also express Cao Cao's filial piety! It is a big hit! Although we are preparing to attack Yuan Shu now and the troops are tight, it does not require too many people to pick him up. Without such a little people, it will not affect the plan to attack Yuan Shu!

After hearing this, Cao Cao thought about it carefully and thought it made sense! Be careful not to be wrong! Although attacking Yuan Shu is very important, his father's safety is even more important! So he asked Xiahou Dun to lead hundreds of people along the road to welcome Cao Hao and his group! When Xiahou Dun and his friends arrived here, they happened to encounter this heavy rain, so they stationed not far from here. When they heard the sound of fighting in the middle of the night, Xiahou Dun brought people here! Just when they met Zhang Kai, they were about to be unfavorable to Cao Hao! So they started fighting quickly! In the end, Cao Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the extravagance of this little official under his son, he might have really encountered an unexpected accident! Before Cao Hao saw this little official, he had already developed a good impression of this little official!

After Xiahou Dun's men cleaned the battlefield, Cao Hao came to the front hall and saw that his family was almost half of the casualties, and the more than one hundred entourages he brought were almost dead! Especially his younger brother Cao De, he was even dismembered by a knife! He died extremely miserable! Cao Hao couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this situation! He howled and cried! Xiahou Dun hurriedly comforted him and let him be mournful and follow the changes! Under Xiahou Dun's comfort, Cao Hao finally stopped crying, but saw

Cao Hao gritted his teeth with hatred for these dead relatives! He said, "This time it was all the evil things that Tao Qian's subordinates sat down! Humph! Needless to say, they must be coveting the money I brought this time! I didn't expect that Tao Qian looked like a loyal gentleman on the surface, respectful and polite to others! But in the north, they are doing these dirty things! Humph! If you don't avenge this, you will be irreconcilable! Nephew! This time, we must avenge the dead family!"

When Xiahou Dun heard this, he nodded and said, "This revenge is naturally avenged! Tao Qian dares to do such a thing, so he has to take on this responsibility! But the most important thing at the moment is to escort his uncle back to Xuchang! Now it is still very close to Xuzhou, and we are short of troops now! If there is a conflict with Tao Qian at this time, we will definitely be unfavorable! It is better for the nephew to escort his uncle back to Xuchang first. Report this matter to the elder brother. Then let the army set sail! Strike Xuzhou and avenge the dead family! I wonder what my uncle is going to do?" Cao Hao heard it and thought for a while, and knew that it was not the time to take revenge, so he gritted his teeth, nodded, and agreed to Xiahou Dun's opinion!

Then Xiahou Dun escorted Cao Hao to Xuchang, and ordered people to ride a fast horse and return to Xuchang first. Report the matter here to Cao Cao! Cao Cao in Xuchang was originally planning to attack Yuan Shu, but when he heard Xiahou Dun's return, he almost fainted! He gritted his teeth and said, "I will not take this revenge! I will not be a human being!" Then he was worried about his father's danger! So he took people out to welcome Cao Hao and his group! A few days later, Cao Hao and Cao Cao and his son finally met! Seeing each other, the father and son couldn't help but hug each other and cried! At the same time, he was also glad! Fortunately, Cao Cao followed the advice of the small official and sent Xiahou Dun to welcome Cao Hao. Otherwise, Cao Hao and his group would not be able to escape!

Thinking of this, Cao Hao said to Cao Cao: "Baby! This time you must give a good reward to the Dun'er, and the official who proposed to pick us up! If it weren't for them, we would have really encountered an unexpected situation this time!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "Baby understand! I will give a great reward to them!" After Cao Cao returned, he really rewarded this little official! Through conversations with this official, Cao Cao found that this little official was actually a very talented person. He had not discovered it before. If he hadn't put forward this important opinion this time

, saved his father, but he could not find it! So Cao Cao transferred this small official to his Prime Minister's Mansion. This small official suddenly entered the core range of Cao Cao's power from an unknown person! Later, he also used his talents and was valued by Cao Cao! However, what Cao Cao didn't know was that this small official was actually an undercover subordinate to the Youzhou Intelligence Bureau! He entered Cao Cao's command according to the secret arrangements of the Youzhou General Administration, and according to the prompts, he put forward the opinions of responding to Cao Hao at this time! In the end, he was indeed valued!

Of course, even this little official, Youzhou's spies didn't know. In fact, Liu Bin made this secret arrangement. Liu Bin had known this incident for a long time, so he asked him to put forward this opinion when Cao Cao sent someone to pick up his father! One is to allow Youzhou's spies to penetrate Cao Cao's internal affairs, and the other is to avoid the death of Cao Hao and his group, which made Cao Cao have a deep hatred for Xuzhou. He issued an order to massacre the city! Avoid Xuzhou's life being miserable again! But even Liu Bin did not expect that although he issued this order and Cao Cao implemented it according to this order, Cao Hao and his group almost encountered an unexpected accident! Although Cao Hao was fortunately not dead, Cao Cao still gritted his teeth for Xuzhou! I don't know if Xuzhou can avoid being massacred and being miserable! Liu Bin has done everything he can do. If the ending still cannot be changed, then he has no choice!
