There was no such thing as a thousand-year dynasty, only a thousand-year aristocratic family!
These words clearly showed how terrifying the aristocratic families were. The world today belonged to the aristocratic families!
Especially in the eastern part of the country, the great clans ran amuck and dominated an area. The aristocrats monopolized the officialdom, and the commoners had no path to promotion at all. They could only rely on the disciples of the aristocrats!
Just like how the Yuan family was in Runan, all the local officials could be related to the Yuan family! And in Pei Country's Qiao County, the biggest aristocratic families were the Cao Family and the Xiahou Family!
Cao Can and Xiahou Ying were also from noble families, and their ancestors had followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world. Even after the Emperor Wu's reign, the power of the marquises had been greatly reduced!
However, these two families still passed down their inheritance safely. Although they were far inferior to the Yuan and Xun families, they were still powerful in Pei Country!
The fort was a small castle built by the powerful families in the north to protect their clansmen. It had already taken shape at the end of the Han Dynasty!
In the Cao Clan's fort, the current head of the Cao Clan, Cao Song, sat at the head of the table. His wrinkled face was filled with solemnity!
He had received terrible news! Cao Cao had offended someone in Luoyang and was in grave danger!
"There's no news of Eldest Brother yet, but Eldest Uncle, don't worry. With Cao Hong and the Xiahou brothers 'martial arts, they'll definitely bring Eldest Brother back safely!”
In front of Cao Song, a man in his thirties said in a deep voice. He was Cao Ren, Cao Cao's most valued brother!
Cao Song nodded with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice,"Meng De's misfortune in Luoyang has also given our Cao Clan a wake-up call!”
"Now that the Western Liang Army has entered the pass and Luoyang is under Dong Zhuo's control, the world is about to fall into chaos. Our Cao family has to strengthen our defenses.”
Cao Song was an old official, and his adoptive father was the former eunuch Cao Teng. He had a very clear understanding of the current situation!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have supported Cao Cao's army in the future!
"Yes! Uncle, we'll definitely strengthen the security. House Xiahou will be notified as well!”Cao Ren bowed and said in a deep voice.
The Cao Clan and Xiahou Clan had been on good terms for generations, and Cao Song was adopted by the Xiahou Clan. The two clans supported each other in Qiao County!
From the fact that the two Xiahou brothers had gone to save Cao Cao, one could see the relationship between the two families!
Cao Song nodded silently. In another room in the backyard, two women were sitting there worriedly!
They were Cao Cao's wife, Ding Shi, and his wife, Bian Shi. The two of them also knew about Cao Cao's death in Luoyang and had escaped from Luoyang.
"Sister, who did husband offend? He actually endangered his own life!" Lady Bian said in disbelief!
She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She was dressed in a pale white robe and had a fair complexion. She was dressed like a noble lady. Although she had given birth to Cao Cao's two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, she was at the best age for a woman!
On the other side was Cao Cao's wife, Ding Shi. She did not have any children. Although she was older, she took better care of herself!
She shook her head gently, her face full of worry as she said softly,"I heard from my father that my husband offended the Western Conquest General Meng Qian. Fortunately, the Prime Minister protected him, so he was able to keep his life. However, he is still in danger!”
"How did this happen?" Lady Bian said in shock. Her beautiful face turned pale as she stood up and stomped her small feet to walk back and forth in the room. She looked very anxious!
"It's over, it's over. Husband actually offended the Western Conquest General!”Lady Bian put on a sad face, her heart was panicking!
That was the Western Conquest General Meng Qian!
He was the famous commander of the Western Liang army. When he had suppressed the Western Liang rebellion, he had killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu people in the north. He had built a ten-mile fortress in the capital and became famous in one battle. He had been appointed as the general of the army!
Immediately after, he led the Western Liang army and swept across the entire Western Liang. All the Western Liang Qiang people were exterminated by Meng Qian!
Western Liang's cavalrymen used their sabers to slaughter all the foreign tribes, causing them to wail and tremble. Who knew how many corpses were hidden in Western Liang, and how many vengeful souls were floating in the air!
Even though Lady Bian was a woman, she also knew that Meng Qian was not only the famous Western Conquering General of the Great Han Dynasty, but also a devil whose hands were stained with blood!
Her husband had actually offended Meng Qian. Just the thought of this outcome terrified her!
Madam Ding shook her head worriedly. She didn't understand how Cao Cao had offended Meng Qian. Even though Cao Cao was the Commanding Officer of the West Garden Army, his status was far inferior to Meng Qian's!
"Sigh! I hope my husband can return safely!”Lady Bian said softly.
The two women were praying for Cao Cao. In fact, Cao Cao had many women, but most of them were concubines. These two were probably the only ones who could really worry for Cao Cao!
The light of the sun is getting higher and higher, the castle is getting more and more noisy, but the guard on the city wall is getting more and more strict!
Under such circumstances, the land of Pei Country trembled gently, and endless rumbling sounds resounded between heaven and earth!
A huge cavalry army was rapidly charging towards the Cao family's fort. The rumbling sounds were getting closer and closer. The 5,000 Western Liang cavalrymen were like a black torrent, trampling on the eastern part of the country!
Under the orders of the commander-in-chief Meng Qian, the Right Wei Army left Hulao Pass and set foot on the eastern part of the country!
The strongest Western Liang cavalry had appeared in the east of the country. No power in the world could stop them!
The county governors and provincial governors of the eastern part of the country scolded Dong Zhuo and the Western Liang army. However, when the Western Liang army appeared in front of them, they could only tremble endlessly!
Under the charge of the endless cavalry, the Cao family fort soon rang with the deep sound of a bell. The enemy had invaded!
Cao Song and Cao Ren quickly appeared on top of the fort. Looking at everything in front of them, their faces were filled with endless horror and paleness!
The endless horsemen were like a black torrent, charging onto the ground. The neighing of warhorses and the billowing of dust caused the heavens and earth to rumble, and the entire Cao Clan Fort seemed to tremble!
The endless Western Liang cavalry erupted with an aura that could destroy everything. The world was trembling!
Cao Song's face was pale as he stood on the city wall. His mind was blank as beads of sweat rolled down his face. He gripped the city wall tightly!
"The Western Liang cavalry!!”
There were basically no cavalry in the Kanto region. Even the Youzhou Army rarely appeared in the Central Plains!
In the entire world, only the Western Liang Army could have such a large cavalry army. Moreover, the immense murderous aura on their bodies seemed to be able to destroy everything. This was something that the other armies of the Great Han Dynasty had never had!
They were the Western Liang Army!
The Western Liang Army had come to the Cao family's fort? When he thought of Cao Cao's matter, Cao Song felt endless despair!
