"Damn it, how come Cao Song has two such powerful guards around him?
Are top-notch experts worthless these days?
It’s just fucking outrageous!”
Seeing that Zhang Kai could not attack for a long time, he began to feel anxious.
"Taishan County's army will arrive day and night. If we delay it any longer, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Zhang Kai knew in his heart that since he promised Tao Qian to come and kill Cao Song, regardless of whether he could kill Cao Song or not, he was already an abandoned son.
Knowing that he would become an outcast, he was still willing to carry out this task.
What Zhang Kai wants is nothing more than to make a big profit and then find another source of income.
“The world is so big, there is always a place for me.
Since you can't kill Cao Song, then just steal the property and go live freely!
Anyway, it’s Tao Qian who deserves the headache, hahahaha!”
Thinking of this, Zhang Kai waved his hand and ordered: "My sons, leave three hundred people to watch them, while the others go and take away all the valuable things in the carriage!"
Zhang Kai's order made the bandit soldiers who were born in the Yellow Turbans scream in excitement,
Some people not only stole valuable gold, silver and jewelry, but even maids and maids were not spared.
Seeing that the thieves turned to attack the money in the motorcade, the people surrounded by the motorcade only dared to watch and did not dare to take any action.
"Dad, they are robbing us!" Cao De whispered in Cao Song's ear.
Seeing that he seemed to have no fear of his life, Cao Song's initial panic quickly turned into calmness.
After all, he is still a high-ranking official, and he still has a good character.
After hearing what Cao De said, Cao Song smiled and said:
"Huh! It's just a few external things. As long as people are still around, they will always be there."
Cao Song had to take a lot of bribes when he was an official. He made a lot of money and became prosperous. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the money to buy an official position from the eunuchs, let alone the hundreds of carts of valuables he has now.
.
Cao De held up his hands and said, "Yes, that's what dad taught me!"
Seeing that his son was obedient and well-behaved as always, Cao Song couldn't help but mention:
"Well, don't panic when big things happen. First of all, you have to keep your composure. Only by being able to keep your composure can you become a superior person. So panic and irritability are just superficial things after all."
"Understood, the child has been taught."
It didn't take long, about half an hour,
The rumble of horse hooves and footsteps came again in the distance.
A scout from afar came to report:
"It's Cao Jun!"
"Leader, the garrison from Taishan County is here!"
Zhang Kai saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly called on his men to pack up their things and run away, "Brothers, take the valuable things and retreat!"
However, when Zhang Kai passed by a soldier, he was so angry at what he saw that smoke came out of his nostrils.
He couldn't help but stretched out his foot and put it on the man's butt, and cursed angrily: "You idiot, you can only think with your lower body!
What kind of girl can't you take those gold and silver jewelry?
Why the hell are you resisting an ugly woman?"
"Oh oh oh, what the leader taught me is, I will change to another one..." The scolded soldier woke up from a dream, quickly threw away the cook on his shoulder, turned around and threw himself at the gold and silver jewelry on the car.
Push it into your arms with all your strength.
"Retreat quickly. If you don't retreat until Cao's army comes, you will all stay and wait for death!" After Zhang Kai finished speaking, he ignored the soldiers who wanted to get more things. Sometimes people have to pay the price for their greed.
.
"Ying Shao was ordered by the governor of Yanzhou to come to greet Old Madam Cao. May I ask where Old Madam Cao is?!"
"Finally here!"
When Cao Song heard that his troops had finally arrived, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Where is the old lady? Xia Houyuan is coming!"
"Haha! Hahaha! It's Yuan Rang who's here!!" Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan also came. The excitement on Cao Song's face could hardly be suppressed. He even pointed at the back of the retreating enemy and shouted: "
The thief, please leave!"
I heard reinforcements have finally arrived!
The soldiers in the car formation finally relaxed their nerves that were about to break.
After suddenly relaxing, some fell straight down and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Some people could barely support themselves by relying on the car, but they still didn't lie down.
Xia Houyuan's army did not stop at Cao Song's place. He only left Ying Shao and 500 infantry behind, while he led thousands of cavalry in pursuit and pursued Zhang Kai in the direction where his troops were fleeing.
If you chase now, you can not only capture the heads of some thieves, but also recover some of the lost property.
Ying Shao sent his men out to help Cao Song's servants clean up the battlefield and pack up carriages and baggage.
He himself came to Cao Song, bowed his hands and said, "Ying Shao came late, which surprised Mr. Cao!"
Old Mr. Cao held his gray beard and replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, with Zilong and Ziyi protecting me, I will be safe."
"Survived!"
"I thought I was dead..."
"If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later!"
Zhao Yun looked at this group of resolute men and immediately smiled and joked: "You are all well done. When I get back, I will find my husband to ask for rewards from Duke Cao for you!"
"Ah! Such a good feeling!" A soldier replied with a smile, maybe he was embarrassed, but his hands were rubbing together until they were almost smoking.
"General Zhao, who is your husband? How dare you ask for a reward from Duke Cao?"
"Yes, are you bragging, General Zhao?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhao Yun didn't care at all that these people were joking with him. We were all brothers in life and death, and joking could actually enhance our relationship.
"My husbands are Lu Yan and Lu Changsheng, the governors of Chenliu County.
You must have heard about Mr. Cao's request for compensation for the soldiers who died in Chenliu County, right?"
Speaking of this matter, the soldiers who had been noisy and hooting just now became quiet in an instant.
Taishi Ci, Cao Song and others all heard about this for the first time, so they all looked at Zhao Yun at this moment, hoping that he could explain what happened in detail.
Zhao Yun looked at these injured men with a slightly gloomy expression on his face and said:
"Master said to Mr. Cao: I, Lu Yan, brought 40,000 men from Chenliu County, but when I came back, I brought back 8,000 urns..."
Zhao Yun's deep voice infected everyone present.
Even Ying Shao, who had heard a little bit about this matter, couldn't help but feel emotional and said: "Shao has also heard about this matter. Prefect Lu really loves his soldiers as much as his sons."
Taishan County Governor Ying Shao's words undoubtedly confirmed Zhao Yun's words, and the soldiers immediately felt sincere respect for such a governor who cared for his subordinates.
"Not only that, Governor Lu also asked the governor to allocate more pensions to him. Unfortunately, the governor himself is very poor..."
"Hahaha!" The soldiers couldn't help laughing.
As Cao Cao's guards, they naturally knew that Cao Cao had never treated them or ordinary soldiers badly.
It's just that Boss Cao is having a hard time. There are too many places to spend money, but too few ways to make money...
"Then what should we do? We can't let my lord sell iron to pay the pension to Prefect Lu!"
"No, Mr. Cao just told Governor Lu that apart from the tax on farmland, Chenliu County would be exempted from taxes for three years."
"Then what's the use?"
Maybe the soldiers didn't know what this was for,
But after being an official for decades,
Cao Song, who has seen countless storms and has rich experience,
But he knew that this measure was a rare opportunity for Chen Liu!
