Chapter 175 Lu Bu kills Cao Song
Half a month after Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty fled eastward.
Xiapi City, Xuzhou.
In ancient times, news was delivered slowly. Now the news has not reached Yuzhou, let alone Xuzhou, which is further away.
Xuzhou is rich, but there are also many poor people. The areas in the city where civilians live are very chaotic.
And deep in the slums.
No one knew that the God of War Lu Bu was hiding here with fifty elite warriors.
Lu Bu followed Yuan Tan's guidance and went south. He entered the Taishan area a few months ago. Li Ru suggested a plan to annex Zang Ba and other Taishan bandits to strengthen himself.
Lü Bu was extremely brave and subdued Zang Ba and others, and gained another [-] troops. He left Gao Shun and others to reorganize these traitors, while he took Zang Ba and others to Xiapi City to assassinate Cao Song and put the blame on Cao Cao.
The small courtyard house was Lu Bu's temporary residence, and the people living around it were also his warriors.
In the place where the lights were shining, Zang Ba said: "My lord, Yuan Tan's move is really vicious, but why did he choose my lord to send the plan?"
Lu Bu smiled, he had discussed this matter with Li Ru. Now the only one who can do this and plunder Yanzhou is Lu Bu.
Said: "Yuan Tan uses me as a spearman to mess up the situation in the Central Plains, which will help him go south in the future. Alas... this person is cunning. Even if I know it is a plan, I have to follow it. This is a conspiracy. Terrible place.”
Lu Bu changed the topic and said coldly: "But I will never really serve him as a gunman."
"My lord, everything is ready. Cao Song is packing up Xinruan and preparing to leave the city tomorrow. We will kill him tonight."
At this time Li Ru came and said excitedly.
After hearing this, Lu Bu stood up and said, "I will go with you."
After half an hour.
Cao Song's mansion.
Cao Song first lived in Chen Liu's hometown, but after the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was afraid that Chen Liu would be too close to Dong Zhuo's power. If the situation went wrong, as the person who summoned the princes, he would definitely be the first to be retaliated by Dong Zhuo. So my father and the Cao family were sent to Xuzhou in the rear area.
The rest of the Cao family had returned to Chenliu before, and now they also moved to Xuchang with Cao Cao's base camp and followed him.
Only Cao Song was old and had been feeling unwell some time ago, so he didn't go together. Originally, the whole family had to wait for him to go on the road together, but Cao Song also felt that it would be safe for his descendants to return to their own territory as soon as possible, so he personally urged them to go on the road.
So in the end, only Cao Song stayed in Xuzhou.
Fortunately, my health has gotten better recently, so I am ready to leave.
"There is no need to inform Lord Tao tomorrow. We will leave at dawn." Cao Song sat in the hall and looked at the people who were cleaning up.
"Okay grandpa," Cao Ang said.
"Ang'er, you father and son are both filial, but I delayed you." Cao Song sighed.
Cao Ang said: "Grandpa, how can you say that? It is right for your grandson to come to pick you up in person."
At this moment, screams came from outside.
Cao Song was shocked, "What's going on?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of men in black rushing in.
As the eldest son of this generation of the Cao family, Cao Ang was also a man accustomed to fighting. When he saw that the situation was not right, he didn't say a word at all, "Kill them!" He drew his sword and called to the guards.
For a moment, a fierce battle broke out in the hall with the flash of swords and shadows.
Cao Ang was shocked because the force of the newcomer was too high, beyond his imagination.
Lu Bu knocked Cao Ang unconscious with just three moves, but did not kill him.
Later, Cao Song died tragically under Zang Ba's sword.
a while.
"My lord, they are all dead, only Cao Ang is left."
Li Ru looked at Cao Ang who was still unconscious in the pile of corpses and said.
Another half hour passed.
Lu Bu was a little impatient. At this time, he finally saw Li Ru's eyes. He hurriedly asked: "Are they all dead?"
Li Ru said: "General Zhang, they are all dead. No one knows that it was us. Hurry up and take your wealth to report to Tao Shijunjun. As expected, Cao Song took all his family property to Xuzhou to take refuge..."
"Take the sword and stab it again to make sure it's safe."
After Cao Ang woke up, he heard these words. He was shocked and his heart was bleeding. The overwhelming anger made him resist the temptation of a sword.
……
half a month later.
Xuchang City, Yuzhou.
This is a place full of outstanding people. Cao Cao set his base camp here and continued to expand the city.
People say that Cao Cao chose his base camp well. In fact, Cao Cao was helpless because Chen Liu was too close to Yuan Tan's power.
Xuchang is different, there are no strong enemies around.
He came to build Xuchang because he was completely afraid of Yuan Tan.
this day.
Cao Cao is having a meeting and he wants to continue to expand his power. If we advance westward, Luoyang will be in ruins, and Cao Cao cannot bear it now.
If they go south, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will have more soldiers and food, so it will definitely be a war of attrition.
The places most conducive to the use of troops are Qingzhou and Xuzhou. But Kong Beihai of Qingzhou is a descendant of Saint Kong, and Tao Qian is a good old man who has good relations with everyone. Although these two do not have elite soldiers and generals, they cannot attack without a suitable reason.
Cao Cao sighed: "Yuan Tan annexed Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu, Yuan Shao and others in a short period of time. He needs time to consolidate the place and has no time for the Central Plains. Such a good opportunity, why do I have no place to use troops?"
You must know that Yuan Tan's current situation has unified the North. If he waits for him to gain a firm foothold, he will definitely not allow Cao Cao to expand casually.
"father!"
At this time Cao Ang appeared.
When Cao Cao heard the news that his father had been killed, he was stunned and immediately passed out.
When the hero woke up again, the first thing he did was to raise troops to attack Tao Qian.
Xun Yu and others did not stop him. Firstly, they could avenge the old man, and secondly, they could seize the prosperous Xuzhou area.
As a result, Cao Cao quickly mobilized an army of [-] to conquer Xuzhou.
As in history, Tao Qian defended himself, but how could Cao Cao not believe his son Cao Ang?
Tao Qian knew that he could not defeat Cao Cao, so he had to ask Kong Rong for help. At this moment, Liu Bei and his second brother Guan Yu were living in Qingzhou.
In Beihai City.
Liu Bei was crying again today, "The third brother actually betrayed his trust, surrendered to Yuan Tan, and even helped him fight on the battlefield. How could this happen..."
In fact, he already wanted Zhang Fei to die, but there was Guan Yu beside him, so Guan Yu would also run away, and he would cry from time to time.
Guan Yu was also very sad. They had sworn to surrender if they were caught by Yuan Tan again. People like them took their oath very seriously.
Now Guan Yu doesn't know what to do.
At this time Jian Yong ran in and said, "My lord, something bad has happened. Cao Cao is conquering Xuzhou, and Tao Shijun's envoy for help has arrived in Beihai City."
When Liu Bei heard this, his heart moved. He had been scheming all day long, so he immediately had an idea. He was very afraid that Guan Yu would also run away, so he wanted to leave Qingzhou as soon as possible, as far away from Yuan Tan as possible.
After a while, when Liu Bei knew the specific situation, he said: "How can Tao Shijun be motivated by wealth? It must be a misunderstanding and someone else took advantage of it. Tao Shijun took good care of me during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I can't help but save."
Ever since, Tao Qian and Kong Rong had a good relationship.
Similar to history, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and five thousand troops supported by Kong Rong to go south.
Liu Bei did not intend to return this batch of understanding, nor did he intend to come to Qingzhou again. This was also an important reason why he went to Xuzhou to support.
In this way, Liu Bei got another five thousand soldiers and horses in vain, and the prestige of benevolence was greatly improved.
