At this point.
Cao De was determined.
"Old Master Cao." Xiahou Dun's temper flared up. "In that case, I can only offend you…"
As he spoke, Xiahou Dun pulled Old Master Cao onto his horse.
"Yuan Rang, what are you doing?" Cao Song was shocked.
"Yuan told you to let me down…listen to a five-year-old child? Are you stupid too?" Cao De stood in front of Xiahou Dun.
"I don't care if he's a five-year-old child or not. Since Meng De has ordered, Old Master Cao can't go with the convoy!”
His words were firm and unquestionable.
Xiahou Dun had such a personality. No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do except Cao Cao.
"De 'er, listen to your big brother!”Cao Song had no choice but to compromise. "I'll leave these carriages to you! When Tao Qian heard that I was leaving, he sent two generals and a team of soldiers. They will definitely protect the convoy.”
Speaking up to this point, Cao Song turned his head and said,"Yuan Rang, I'll go with you first and wait for this convoy in Yanzhou."”
"It couldn't be better!" Xiahou Dun immediately agreed…
Just like that, Cao Song and the convoy loaded with gold, silver, and soft goods parted ways…
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Old Master Cao Song…
Two fast horses and a carriage went ahead!
……
……
At the border of Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
The soldiers of Qingzhou fed their horses and prepared for battle.
The leader was seven feet tall, with thin eyes and a long beard. He was Cao Cao.
At this moment, Cao Cao was very nervous, and a worried expression appeared on his face.
"Ah Weng…Has Ah Weng arrived?"
The Qingzhou soldiers were urgently mobilized by him.
Chen Bing was stationed at the border to deter Tao Qian and ensure that Ah Weng arrived safely.
But…
An hour later…
Two hours…
Four hours…
There was no news from the scouts that Cao Cao sent out.
At this moment, he was getting more and more anxious and worried.
Alright, alright, alright…
It was the neighing of warhorses.
What followed closely was the sound of horse hooves, dust and smoke billowing, sand and stones flying…
From afar, two horses and a carriage could be seen on the official road.
Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the two people riding on the fast horses. They were Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan!
"Ah Weng is here…Ah Weng is here." Cao Cao grinned and laughed out loud. The weight in his heart was finally lifted,"Fortunately…safe and sound."
"Quickly…quickly follow me to welcome them!" Cao Cao commanded as he rode his horse towards the carriage.
……
"Are you my son Meng De?"
"Old man, accept this child's bow!”Cao Cao immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground.
The Eastern Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Cao Cao was a true villain, but he was also a filial son!
When father and son met, they sighed.
"Old Weng?" Cao Cao seemed to have noticed something. "Why don't you see my second brother?"
"…De 'er will be slower if he follows the convoy.”At the mention of the caravan, Cao Song's face darkened, as if he was blaming Cao Cao.
"Meng De, your father has taught you since you were young that you will be wise if you listen to both sides, but you will be dark if you listen to one side.
Now that you are the ruler of Yanzhou, how could you be so foolish? Believing in the words of a five-year-old?"
Cao Song paused for a moment and frowned. "What do you mean by holding onto a treasure? What do you mean by giving up gold, silver, and soft goods?"
"Little did they know that Tao Xuzhou had specially sent generals and soldiers to protect the Cao family's convoy. Not to mention Yanzhou and Xuzhou being neighbors, even if there were thousands of mountains and rivers, the convoy would be fine.”
At this point, Cao Song's furrowed brows tightened even more. "Meng De, you've been fearless since you were young. However, the older he got, the higher his official position, but the more timid he became.”
Er…Cao Cao was a little stunned.
He fell into deep thought. Could it be…like what Ah Weng said? Was he thinking too much?
however
... Then what about the so-called 'listening to the words of a five-year-old child'?
Little Lu Yu was wronged.
Lu Yu's suggestion was not to throw away the gold, silver, and other valuables…
Cao Cao had learned it from Lu Yu's calligraphy.
Perhaps, Little Lu Yu was just casually writing and did not have any other intentions?
Was he really…thinking too much?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao nodded heavily.
He was too sensitive when it came to Ah Weng!
Tao Qian, the herdsman of Xu Prefecture, had the intention of befriending Cao Cao long ago…Along the way, he escorted Ah Weng, sent troops, generals, and confidants.
Why would they harm Ah Weng? Wouldn't that be placing Tao Qian? Put Xuzhou in a dangerous place?
Wrong…very wrong.
"Old Weng's lesson is right, this child will remember it!”Cao Cao answered Cao Song and mocked himself in his heart.
He thought that he would have to thank the generals and soldiers of Xu Prefecture when he saw them later.
"Meng De." Cao Song patted Cao Cao's shoulder. "I have high hopes for you. You must be careful when it comes to judging people and employing people…Don't listen to the lies and nonsense of a child!”
Subconsciously, Cao Song felt a sense of rejection towards the so-called five-year-old prodigy from Yanzhou.
At this moment…
Dust billowed, sand and stones flew…A dozen scouts sent by Cao Cao were rushing back.
From afar, everyone's faces were filled with shock…
" Lord…Lord…" Seeing Cao Cao, the scout hurriedly dismounted. "Old Master Cao's caravan…was robbed! Blood…There was blood everywhere…When we arrived…Old Master's family, gold, silver, and other valuables were all…all gone!”
As soon as he said that.
Cao Song trembled violently, and a wave of horror surged into his head…
Immediately after, his legs went limp…and he fell to the ground like a pile of soft mud.
"Old Master…"
All the onlookers were in an uproar!
