On both sides of the official road, among the trees.
"General Zhang, Xuzhou soldiers turned into robbers, Cao Song's convoy was attacked, only Cao Song and a warrior came here... a total of two people!"
A soldier reminded, his words filled with a very strong Bingzhou accent.
The man called General Zhang was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the generals of the Bingzhou soldiers under Lu Bu.
This time, after receiving the military order, he secretly rushed to Langya County with more than 20 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, with the sole purpose of intercepting and killing Cao Song.
Zhang Liao was very thoughtful and the location of the ambush was the only way to go to Yanzhou from Langya County. He was originally muttering in his heart. After all, he only had more than 20 riders under his command. After all, this was the territory of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian!
But now... the development of the situation seemed to exceed his expectations. Cao Song's convoy was robbed by General Xuzhou who was escorting him along the way. Only Cao Song and a warrior escaped!
This...is a good thing!
Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that the task suddenly became much easier.
"No need to talk nonsense, just intercept and kill! Remember, be quick!"
Under the moonlight, the crescent halberd in Zhang Liao's hand glowed with cold light, and the fierce light in his eyes showed...
"Here..." the soldiers agreed and prepared to fight out.
But at this moment... the continuous "rustling" sound reached Zhang Liao's ears, and he was keenly aware that besides them, there were people ambushing in the nearby grass!
"Wait...come back!" Zhang Liao hurriedly called back to everyone.
Sure enough, at this moment, the same black clothes, the same sharp blade, the same grass... More than twenty assassins in black suddenly rushed out. Zhang Liao was sure that these people were definitely not his own, but... their purpose was obvious.
...also for "Cao Song"!
"It seems... there are many people who want Cao Song's life!" Zhang Liao murmured...
at the same time.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
There were bursts of cold light, as if these twenty or so assassins in black were well-trained. The weapons in their hands were similar to spears, except that a sharp sickle was installed on the head of the gun, named Hook Sickle Gun... dozens of them
The sickle hooked the leg of Cao Ren's war horse, and in an instant...the war horse, Cao Ren, and Cao Song all fell off their horses and fell to the ground.
"Damn it, there is an ambush here." Cao Ren sighed...
Cao Song's face didn't look good either. Looking at the hooks and sickles around him, he knew that today... he might not be able to escape this disaster.
"My son Mengde, father... I'm afraid he won't be able to go back!"
At this time, Cao Song's eyes were filled with tears.
Who would have thought that someone would become interested in seeing Cai;
Who would have thought that the person who wanted to make money was General Xuzhou sent by Tao Qian to escort the convoy;
Who... and... and... could have imagined that someone would dare to rob the convoy of his former captain, and even set up an ambush along the way!
Huaibi is a crime? Now think about what the young man mentioned about carrying a bi, and all the crimes have come true... But, half an hour ago, who would have believed it?
...At this moment, Cao Song could only shake his head.
There is no regret medicine in this world. If you know the current situation, what can you say... Just now, you should have abandoned the gold and silver, and fled with Cao De along the Zixiao path. They were not safe, and the convoy was used as a bait. How could they escape this situation?
What a disaster!
Alas... alas...
"Old Master, come behind me..." Cao Ren protected Cao Song. He tore off a piece of coarse cloth from his waist and covered his nose and mouth...
Anyone with combat experience knows that in such a close fight, blood will inevitably be splashed on the face. If it affects the vision, it will be very bad.
However, Cao Ren's actions were completely ignored by the enemy.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Cao A'ao's clan brother, General Cao Ren, would also be buried with Mr. Cao, hahaha!"
Cao Ren... does the other party recognize me?
Cao Ren was slightly startled. He wanted to recall who the voice of the man in black in front of him was? But... his opponent did not give him this time.
"Kill, leave no one behind!"
"Damn it, come on!" Cao Ren glared angrily, no need to talk too much nonsense, the two sides are already mortal enemies!
In an instant, Cao Ren single-handedly defeated the attack of more than 20 people!
Fortunately, the more than twenty people in front of him were not very powerful. In normal times, Cao Ren would probably be able to defeat ten of them.
But now... he had just experienced a day and night journey, 700 miles in a hurry, and had broken out of the battle just now. He was already exhausted, and fell into a disadvantage in just a few rounds.
But Cao Song couldn't help him at all. It seemed that his fate was doomed early on, and he could only wait for death.
Finally, Cao Song was heartbroken.
"Zixiao, please leave me alone, you go first..."
"Old Master, you..." Cao Ren had an unknown premonition in his heart.
"Zixiao! It's already this time. It won't help if you stay. We all have to die. But if you fight your way out of the siege, at least... at least Mengde will have one more brother. He will have one more brother to discuss things in the future!" Cao Song
After much persuasion...
In Cao Song's view, his era has come to an end, and now is the era of his son Cao Cao.
The world can be without him, Cao Song, but as long as there is a chance, he, Cao Song, will protect every brother who can help for his son!
"Old Master...you..."
"Hey." Cao Song responded. There was panic and confusion in his eyes, but more of them were kind and reluctant...
He looked at Cao Ren, and through Cao Ren, it was as if he was seeing his son Cao Cao... This stupid young man who used to always get into trouble, now... he has grown up, and it is time for him to create great achievements of his own.
As a father, you shouldn't be a burden to him!
"I can't escape with my body, but...I..."
In an instant, a sharp light flashed through Cao Song's turbid old eyes. He coldly faced the men in black. "At least, I can delay time for you!"
Just as he was talking, a killer in black slashed at Cao Ren's back with a knife, shouting while slashing, "Death!"
"Let's go!"
Cao Song picked up a wooden stick from the ground, rolled on the spot, and swung the wooden stick towards the black-clothed killer.
After all, it was because of his old age that when he hit the opponent, his own body was affected by the force and he fell to the ground.
"Old Master..." Cao Ren shouted.
But soon, Cao Song got up again, his clothes were messy, his eyes were red, and he roared and started fighting with the thieves again.
His hair is disheveled and he looks like a madman.
"If you want to intercept and kill me, Cao Song, first check whether you have the ability!"
"Why don't you come here and die!"
The rather vicissitudes of the voice echoed between heaven and earth, shocking Cao Ren, every black-clothed assassin, and the Bingzhou elite who were watching.
At this moment, Cao Song returned to that glorious past!
For twenty years, the world only knew that Cao Song was a smooth man. He had served as a lieutenant, a great minister, a great agricultural officer, and a prince of the dynasty. He had great power in both the government and the public!
The world also knows that he is well-read and is the best student in Taixue. He also once served as a doctor of Confucian classics!
But what few people know is that as early as when he was a filial piety for his adoptive father Cao Teng, he had written military works such as "On Defense". When he was young, Cao Song was also a good hand in martial arts!
This is in line with the characteristics of the civil servants of the Han Dynasty. Literary writing can bring peace to the world, and military force can mount a horse to determine the world.
To put it in layman's terms, that means he can fight when he's on a horse, he can manage politics when he's off his horse, he knows women when he's on the kang, and he knows shoes when he's off the kang. He's just a real man of iron and blood who poops in a latrine with his face facing outward!
If Cao Song was twenty years younger, he wouldn't dare to fight twenty fish, but he would still be able to fight three or five miscellaneous fish!
"Zixiao, leave quickly!"
"What I can do is to leave some hope for Mengde!"
"Zixiao, tell Mengde to put the overall situation first and don't worry about avenging his father. And...and..."
"That young man can bring up the crime of carrying a jade, which shows that he is extremely wise. Meng De must entrust him with important tasks and discuss everything with him!"
Every word of advice is like the last words of farewell, which makes people sigh.
Under the moonlight, it was hard to imagine that a white-haired old man was bravely and fearlessly killing more than 20 strong assassins, even though... the wooden stick in his hand had already been broken!
This is using flesh and blood to fight for a bloody path for Cao Ren, and also leaving an extra fire for his son Cao Cao!
The beloved son of his parents has a far-reaching plan. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be unimaginable that an old man in his dying years would do such a crazy thing!
But this…
But he is forging the pride and backbone of the Cao family and Xiahou family that have been passed down from generation to generation!
