It is rumored that in the second month of the year of the Emperor, there is a unicorn in Yizhou.

The clouds are steaming and the clouds are long.

Biography, the unicorn is in the world, and all evils are resolved. The blind regain their sight, those who have been lying on the sickbed for a long time get up, and those who have been married for a long time and are infertile......

When the unicorn is infested, there will be auspiciousness, and all the people of Shu cheer......

……

It is difficult to distinguish whether the rumors are true or false, and it is unknown when auspicious rui will come, but the disaster is really in front of us.

Something happened in Xuzhou!

Liu Bei said in the letter that Cao Cao wanted to take his father Cao Song and his family back to Puyang, and Tao Qian of Xuzhou ordered his subordinate Zhang Min to lead troops to escort Cao Cao in order to curry favor with Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Zhang Min saw the wealth and slaughtered all the more than 100 members of the Cao family, and fled after looting the money.

Cao Cao cried bitterly, furious, and wanted to raise troops to ask for guilt, crusade against Tao Qian, slaughter Xuzhou, and avenge his father!

Liu Bei got the news and immediately sent a letter to Liu Mang with an urgent 600 li, asking Liu Mang to dredge up and down the court, send someone to mediate, and save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water.

But in fact, the matter is far from being as simple as Liu Mang and Liu Bei know......

……

Xuzhou, the west of Donghai County, the north of Yinping County, a convoy of hundreds of cars, slowly moving.

This is the team of Cao Cao's family members of Yanzhou Assassin Shi.

The Cao family is a big family, and hundreds of people are really troublesome to move.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian for Cao Cao, sent the commander Zhang Min, led 200 soldiers, to help carry it, and carefully protected all the way.

Yesterday there was a spring rain, the road was slippery and difficult to walk, and the soldiers complained a lot.

Zhang Min walked to a warm car and asked humbly: "Taigong, the road is slippery and difficult to walk, do you want to camp and rest, and then go tomorrow when the road is dry?" ”

Before Cao Taigong could answer, Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De said: "Let's hurry up, the boundary of Xuzhou is not very peaceful, rush to Xue County, Luguo, Yuzhou, and then enter the city to rest." ”

Zhang Min came back in a huff and ordered him to continue on his way. The soldiers complained, and their cronies muttered in a low voice: "Those big officials are talking to Cao Cao." But let our buddies suffer in the mud, unlucky! ”

Another cronie looked around and whispered, "Captain, it's not like you're suffering. It's not as good as ......."

Zhang Min stared at the cronie and wondered.

That cronie was born as a thief, and he had long been worried about the Cao family's belongings. "Du Wei, the Cao family's foundation is thick enough, if you rob it. Drill into the mountains, and in the second half of your life, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking! ”

"Stupid!" Zhang Min scolded, "Do you know how powerful Cao Mengde is?" I robbed the property, and I didn't have my life to enjoy it! ”

"Captain, but, what good do we have, why bother to suffer this crime?"

"You're stupid! Let's bear with it and send this family to Puyang. That's a big credit! At that time, we won't go back to Xuzhou, we will vote for the Yanzhou army, get the reward, spend it with peace of mind, how comfortable? ”

"Uh, well, let's listen to Captain's ......"

The convoy moved slowly and entered the border of Lu in Yuzhou, and it was already dark.

Cao De urged to hurry up. went to Xue County to rest, and suddenly saw a team holding torches on the road ahead.

Cao De was shocked. "Huh? There are thieves ......"

Zhang Min's scalp was also numb, and he insisted on ordering his subordinates to be on guard, while he picked up his knife and got on the horse.

The line came from near and far. Against the backdrop of the firelight, I could see clearly that there was a big "Cao" character on the military flag.

A general, carrying a spear, shouted and asked, "But the frame team of Cao Taigong who came from Langxie?" ”

"Exactly."

The spear will roll over and dismount, striding forward. He bowed and said: "Li Yan, the governor of Yanzhou, is ordered by Jiyin Taishou Xiahou Yuan to let the general, and is here to greet the Taigong." ”

"Ah, it turned out to be our Yanzhou Army." Cao De was overjoyed.

"The last general was ordered not to cross the border into Xuzhou, so he could only greet the Taigong here, and ask the Taigong and the second general to forgive their sins."

Cao De posed with his master's style and shook his hand indifferently. "You're doing the right thing."

"The last general's camp is in front, please ask the prince and his family to be wronged for one night, and then hurry tomorrow morning."

"Okay, my own barracks, I can live in peace of mind." Cao De immediately ordered the convoy to rush to the Yanzhou military camp.

Then Li Yan saluted Zhang Min again and said: "The military camp has prepared water and wine to entertain the Xuzhou brothers." ”

Finally able to rest, there is still wine and meat, and the Xuzhou sergeant is excited.

……

The Cao family settled in the back camp, and Li Yan accompanied Zhang Min to the front camp.

The wine and food have already been prepared, and dozens of camp tents have arranged banquets, and the Yanzhou army warmly entertained the Xuzhou army.

In the big tent, Li Yan personally accompanied Zhang Min and several Xuzhou team leaders and diligently persuaded them to drink. Zhang Min intended to take refuge in Cao Cao, drank a few bowls of wine, and was ready to pay tribute to Li Yan, and by the way, he asked for help and introduction.

Picking up the wine bowl, I just got up, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"Bang dang!"

A team leader next to him pounced on the banquet.

"There's a problem with the wine!"

Zhang Min just realized that something was wrong, but he saw that Li Yan had jumped up, and the oil lamp was yin and yang!

That Li Yan is none other than the thief chief Li Tianyan, who has just joined Yuan Shu!

"Oops......"

Zhang Min screamed in surprise and wanted to run, but his feet no longer obeyed.

"Lie down!"

Li Tian was hideous, the spear was handed over, and the gun was pointed at Zhang Min's leg socket.

Zhang Min "poofed" and fell to the ground, Li Tianyan's spear flew to the point, and several Xuzhou team members were all injured and fell to the ground.

In the other camp tents, Li Tianyan's subordinates also moved at the same time, and the Xuzhou sergeant trekked for a day, drank drugged liquor, and was slaughtered without any power to fight back!

The movement of the front battalion aroused the vigilance of Cao De in the rear battalion. Carrying a long sword, he rushed to the front camp, and was bumping into Li Tianyan.

Cao De was about to ask what was going on, when he saw Li Tianyan rush forward, and the gun in his hand was as fast as a ghost!

The cold light flashed, and the spear hit Cao De's heart, passing through his chest!

"Kill!" Li Tianyan's subordinates swarmed into the back camp, cut down anyone they met, and killed anyone they saw.

A small leader ran over, salivating. "Boss, and a few female dependents......"

"Kill! When you're done, you'll find the girl again! ”

"Okay!"

Poor Cao family more than 100 people, as well as 200 soldiers in Xuzhou, all of them were killed, and there were even two children under the age of one......

Only Zhang Min and a few team leaders were tied up and thrown on the frame.

Li Tianyan ordered his subordinates to carry all the corpses of the Xuzhou sergeants to the car, take their valuables, and flee westward.

More than 100 people of the Cao family, riotous corpse wilderness......

On the shore of Zhaoyang Lake, there have long been deep pits dug up. The corpses of the Xuzhou sergeants were all thrown into the pit and buried. Li Tianyan and his gang, with Zhang Min and others, fled westward.

……

"Boss, so much property, can we hand over less?"

Li Tianyan sneered: "Turn it in? Why? This is what our brothers bought in exchange for their lives, and they all stayed! Find a place to bury it, and we have to go to Chen Guo to do things! ”

Under the rule of Yuzhou, there were two counties and four countries.

Yingchuan County has an important geographical location, Runan County is the most populous county in the world, and these two counties have been controlled by Yuan Shu. And the other four countries, Lu, Liang, Pei, and Chenzhong, Yuan Shu only captured the largest Pei country in terms of geographical area.

Lu and Liang have a small population, a small area, and the geographical location is not important, so Yuan Shu didn't see it. However, Chen State, with a population of more than 1.5 million and close to Yingchuan and Runan counties, Yuan Shu has coveted it for a long time, but he has not dared to do it.

Liu Chong, the lord of the Chen State, is a hereditary prince and king, brave and fierce, with more than 100,000 people. Yuan Shu once tried to borrow grain from him, and he has always held a grudge.

After Li Tianyan was ordered to intercept and kill the Cao family, another task was to assassinate Liu Chong on the way back.

Li Tianyan and several of his subordinates changed into Xuzhou military uniforms, and asked to see Liu Pet with Xuzhou Road Chuan (road strip).

Liu Pet didn't know the truth, Li Tianyan took the opportunity to kill Liu Pet and Chen Guoguo's Prime Minister Luo Jun, and escaped from Chen Guo.

Li Zhu let out the wind, saying that after Zhang Min slaughtered the Cao family, he fled to Chen State to assassinate Liu Chong and Luo Jun.

As soon as Liu Chong died, the Nanyang Army immediately launched an operation around Chen State, and soon captured and killed the "culprit" Zhang Min.

With the merit of revenge, Yuan Shu's team entered the Chen State in a grand manner.

Liu Zhong had no heirs, the lord and the prime minister of the country were all poisoned, and the 1.5 million population and 100,000 troops of the Chen State were all returned to Yuan Shu.

So far, the population under Yuan Shu's control has exceeded 6.5 million, and the Ma Bujun is about 300,000!

Yuan Shu seized the state of Chen as he wished, waved his army to the east, stationed in Xiangxian County, the capital of Peiguo, and put on a posture of marching into Xuzhou at any time.

At the same time, he sent someone to send the heads of Zhang Min and others to Puyang, Yanzhou, to add another handful of firewood to the angry Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Cao finally couldn't hold it back, and ordered the whole army to rush to make filial piety, swore to kill Tao Qianmanmen, slaughtered the entire territory of Xuzhou, and avenged his father! (To be continued.) )
