Chen Gui is the head of the Chen family, which is also a well-known family in Xuzhou. Chen Gui's uncle is Chen Qiu, who has served as county governor, minister, and finally to Taiwei. In the end, because of his relationship with Qiao Xuan, Yang Qiu, Chen He, etc.
They planned to move the eunuch Cao Jie, but the plan failed and he was killed. Chen Qiu had two sons and one nephew: the eldest son Chen Yu, the prefect of Wu County.
The second son, Chen Cong, was the governor of Jiyin, and he also had a nephew, Chen Gui.
In fact, Chen Gui is not the only gentry in Xuzhou, the Mi family is also among them. The Mi family started out as a businessman, and in Mi Zhu's generation, both brothers served in the state government, which can be regarded as a glorious family name. There is also the Donghai Cao family,
He can be regarded as the local snake in the East China Sea, the Tu Emperor, holding half of Xuzhou's troops and horses, occupying the East China Sea and doing whatever he wants. The lowest-ranking figure is Zang Ba. Zang Ba was born as a local thief, but he has a strong military force, and now he dominates Xiapi.
Tao Qian, the nominal governor of Xuzhou, is worthless in the eyes of these people. The Chen family is famous, the Mi family is rich, the Cao family and Zang Ba have heavy troops and actually control everything in Xuzhou. These four people let you, Tao Qian, be the governor.
Mu, then you are the state pastor. On that day, if you are not pleasing to the eye, your position as state pastor can be deposed with just one sentence. However, it seems that it is not far away.
As soon as Chen Gui spoke, others quickly shut up. The soldiers who were about to take action did not dare to move forward. The old man was already over sixty years old, and it was difficult to get up as soon as he sat down. Chen Deng was his youngest son, who was extremely intelligent.
The old man had high hopes for him and stayed by his side to guide him at any time. Seeing that Chen Gui couldn't get up, Chen Deng hurriedly helped him.
Chen Gui cupped his fist at Tao Qian and said, "My lord, General Long is the special envoy of the imperial court. Your Majesty's treatment of him in this way is against His Majesty's will. To put it more importantly, it is treason!"
Everyone took a breath. Tao Qian gritted his teeth, glared at Long Fei fiercely, waved the soldiers to go down. He nodded at Chen Gui and said: "Thank you for reminding me, sir, otherwise I almost missed something important!"
With such a farce, the banquet could no longer go on. As soon as Tao Qian left, everyone dispersed one after another. Only Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, and Long Fei sat still and did not move.
He talked and just drank and ate. After a long time, Chen Deng slowly stood up and reached out to help his father: "Father, it's getting late, shouldn't we leave too?"
Chen Gui smiled: "It is extremely rare to have a drink in such a quiet place, how can you leave?"
"It's a pity that the bottle is empty!" Long Fei took over the conversation: "Sir, can you move away, how about we find another place to drink again?"
The best restaurant in Pengcheng is called Zuixianju. Here you can find not only lake fish caught from Hongze Lake, but also river fish caught from Surabaya, and even marine fish caught from the sea. Chinese people eat fish.
The method is nothing more than frying, steaming and frying. Looking at the big and lively big carp, Long Fei became interested and said to Chen Gui: "Sir, do you want to try my method of eating fish?"
"What's new?"
"Wait a moment!"
He followed the waiter to the kitchen at the back and explained the cooking method in detail. Then he returned to his seat. The food and wine had been put on the table and everyone sat facing each other. Talking about why Tao Qian lost his temper today, Long Fei smiled lightly and said
: "Do you know, Sir, Cao Song, the father of Cao Cao?"
Chen Gui nodded: "Cao Song was the Taiwei of this dynasty. For some unknown reason, he suddenly resigned and went into seclusion. I don't know where he is now."
“If it’s nowhere else, it’s in Xuzhou!”
Chen Gui thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Could it be taken away by the general? Hahaha... No wonder, no wonder!"
Just as Chen Gui guessed. When Long Fei heard the news that Cao Cao was going to attack Xuzhou, the first thing he thought of was that Liu Guan and Zhang helped Tao Qian to resist Cao, and later made three concessions to Xuzhou. Then he remembered the reason why Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou. Cao Cao
The Song family was wiped out, and Cao Cao used this as an excuse to lead his troops and vowed to massacre the city for revenge. Thinking of this, Long Fei had a bold plan. Although Cao Cao was not considered a filial son, he was still a son. With his father in hand, he could more or less do it.
Take some control and order people to inquire about Cao Song's movements.
At this time, Cao Song also received a letter from his son Cao Cao. After reading it, he was shocked. He quickly called his second son Cao De and asked him to pack up and leave Xuzhou immediately. Moving is not easy now, let alone in ancient times.
What to do with the servants and furniture? What to do with the house and property? Will there be enough food for the road? Wait! This work will last three or four days.
Tao Qian also heard about what happened to Cao Song in Xuzhou, but he didn't want to provoke it to avoid getting into trouble. Now that Cao Cao wanted to break up with him, what else could he say, so he sent general Zhang Kai to lead his troops to capture Cao Song.
When Zhang Kai arrived, he happened to catch up with the Cao family who were loading things into the car. Seeing the Xuzhou soldiers coming, Cao Song sighed sadly and sat down on the ground.
Zhang Kai smiled and said: "Fortunately, you came in time, bring them all back to me, and no one can escape!"
Li Pengcheng in Huaxian County is far away, and it takes a long time to move around with these prisoners and vehicles. When resting at night, a soldier accidentally discovered that there was a lot of gold and silver jewelry in a large car at the end. Zhang
Kai, who was greedy for money, immediately brought people to check. There were many good things in the Cao family, including a dazzling array of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and countless gold, silver and jewelry. What made Zhang Kai happy was that he found a one-foot-tall white jade sculpture while saluting.
The completed portrait is handsome and lifelike. I can't put it down.
Looking at the gold and silver jewelry in front of him, the deputy general sighed and said: "Hey! These things will all be turned over when they arrive in Pengcheng, and we have nothing!"
These words made everyone a little disappointed. After running back and forth for dozens of days and finding nothing, what kind of thing is this? Someone secretly suggested to Zhang Kai: "General, this group of people will be killed by Master Zhou Mu when they arrive in Pengcheng.
Why don't we take action first and then fly away with these things?"
Zhang Kai's eyes lit up, but he was still a little worried. These are Cao Cao's family members, and anyone from Cao Cao would definitely look for him. Someone else said: "As far as I know, there is an island in the sea eight hundred miles east of Penglai.
It is said to be the place where Xu Fu sought immortality. Fishermen who visited the island came back and said that the people on the island were short and clumsy, and they were slaves here. It would be better to go there and live a happy life as a local emperor."
This statement was recognized by many people. Zhang Kai gritted his teeth and said "Do it". A group of Xuzhou soldiers turned into bandits and surrounded Cao Song's family, old and young, and started killing. At first
Several servants still wanted to step forward to stop them, but these people had lost their minds under the temptation of gold, silver and jewelry. They chopped horizontally and vertically, and instantly chopped down all the servants and servants to the ground. Cao De went up to argue, but Zhang Kai also
I cut him off with a knife and hit him in the left arm, but my life was not affected.
Zhang Kai had a sinister smile on his face, holding a bloody knife and approaching the Cao family step by step. Just as he was about to take action, an arrow hit Zhang Kai squarely between the eyebrows. Zhang Kai fell on his back without saying a word. The grass around him
More than a hundred men in black appeared in front of the Xuzhou soldiers. The leader held a spear in his hand and had a murderous look on his face. No one spoke. Only the sound of the wind and frightened cries could be heard.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, the leader of the men in black gave an order, and the men in black swarmed forward. These men were strong and skilled in killing, and their killing techniques were terrifying. Once they saw them, they would never forget them. Zhang Kai only brought more than two hundred soldiers, but
As soon as they had a cup of tea, they were all eliminated by these men in black. Looking at the movements of this group of people, the Cao family members crowded together tightly, fearing that one of them would pounce.
After everything calmed down, the leader came to Cao Song and asked in a low voice, "Who is Cao Song, Mr. Cao?"
"That's it!" Cao Song pushed aside Cao De who was standing in front of him, and said with his hands raised: "Please tell me if you have any orders, Your Majesty. You can take these treasures at will, but please don't hurt my family!"
The leader in black gently pulled down his face covering, revealing a handsome face: "I'm Chen Dao. I'm here to pick up the old man on the orders of General Zhenguo!"
"General Zhenguo?" Although Cao Song lived in seclusion, he could still hear more or less about the situation in the Central Plains. Recently, this general Zhenguo, Long Fei, the prefect of Wancheng, has been quite active. I heard that Cao Cao married his granddaughter to
Long Fei, could this be someone sent by Cao Cao? Thinking of this, Cao Song said: "General, I would like to thank General Zhenguo for his great kindness. However, I am very homesick and want to rush back to my hometown in Qiaojun as soon as possible. Please forgive me, General."
Chen Da said: "So, the old man is unwilling to leave? The general has ordered that the old man must be brought back. If the old man refuses, then don't blame me for being rude!" He bent down and hugged Cao Song's hand with one hand.
With his legs and waist straightened, Cao Song was carried on Chen Dao's shoulders, turned around and walked away. The Cao family were shocked and chased him forward crying.
Cao De has been observing. Ever since the group of black-clothed men stopped killing, they all stood still without moving. Even when Chen Dao succeeded and turned around, these black-clothed men hurriedly followed.
Cao Song lay on Chen Dao's shoulder. He was so strangled that he almost vomited. He repeatedly begged for mercy: "General, please put me down and walk back like this. Even if you don't die, it's fine. I'll go with you!" A team of men was left to clean up.
Jewelry and clothes, the rest of the people protected the Cao family and went first to Jiugong Mountain.
"Hahaha..." Chen Gui laughed loudly: "So that's it. The general's move is really in Master Zhoumu's plan. No wonder Master Zhoumu is so angry!"
Long Fei said: "I have saved your life in Xuzhou. Cao Cao has been attacking Xuzhou for a long time, but he has no excuse. If Cao Song dies, it will give Cao Cao an excuse. If Cao Cao's tigers and wolves come to Xuzhou, their lives will inevitably be ruined!"
"
Chen Gui nodded: "This is true. If Cao Song's family dies in Xuzhou, Xuzhou will be over! I wonder what the general will do with Cao Song's family?"
Long Fei smiled: "I want to do business with Cao Cao. Sir, how much is this Cao Song worth?"
"Oh? Haha!" Chen Gui chuckled and said: "When it comes to how much Cao Song is worth, General Long has asked the wrong person. I don't understand business matters. General Long can ask Mi Zhizhong for advice. He is the most talented person in Xuzhou.
Money man!”
While he was talking, the shopkeeper personally led a few waiters and walked in with plates. When the items on the plates were placed in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded and looked at what was in front of them with wide eyes.
