Cao Cao was careless.
Cao Xu was about the same.
He knew about the assassination attempts against Cao Cao.
The most famous incident was the "Imperial Decree of the Clothing Belt" in the first month of the fifth year of Jian 'an.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, and General Dong Cheng plotted together. Liu Bei and the others were all involved. It was the most violent counterattack the Han Dynasty had against the Cao family, but it failed because the news was leaked in advance.
This was Cao Cao's base camp.
To be able to organize an assassination of this scale.
The mastermind was most likely not an external force.
There must be some old people and young people who were led by Dong Cheng.
It was the first month of the fourth year of Jian 'an.
It was one year earlier than the "Imperial Decree" incident!
This meant…
History had changed.
This was undoubtedly a warning.
It made Cao Xu understand that he could not rely too much on the Prophet's advantage.
Because…
The situation was changing rapidly.
Any minute change.
There was a possibility of causing a butterfly effect.
He had to be more careful in the future.
In reality.
Guo Jiagang warned.
In the end, he was warned yesterday and assassinated today.
Damn it, was Guo Jia a prophet or a jinx?
Now was not the time to think about this.
The sound of other carriages colliding could be heard from outside.
This was clearly the reaction of Cao Cao's personal guards. They immediately surrounded the father and son to form a barrier and cover to block the arrows from all directions.
"Sikong!"
"Lord Sikong!"
"Cao, are you alright?"
It looked like Xu Chu, the Xiahou brothers, and Lu Lingqi were all fine.
Cao Xu also heaved a sigh of relief. The assassins had a clear target, and their attacks were almost all focused on Cao Cao and his son. However, Cao Cao's carriage was reinforced and could withstand the arrows of ordinary crossbows, so there were no serious casualties for the time being!
"Father, lend me your sword!"
Cao Xu pulled out Cao Cao's sword.
With a leap.
He jumped out of the carriage.
He quickly observed his surroundings.
Cao Cao's carriage was filled with arrows.
The horses pulling the carriage and the two bodyguards were all shot to death, it was obvious how dangerous it was just now.
The other bodyguards had surrounded the area with their chariots and horses. They had used these chariots and horses to form a bunker, blocking most of the attacks. However, arrows still occasionally fell from the sky, so they still had to be wary of stray arrows.
Outside the carriage.
It was a small forest.
The assassin was hiding inside.
Xu Chu, the Xiahou brothers, and Lu Lingqi had arrived.
Xiahou Dun was pulling Cao Cao out, using the carriage as cover to temporarily protect himself.
Xuchang was only one or two kilometers away. As long as they resisted slightly, there would be reinforcements.
The assassins were not stupid. Seeing that they had failed, they decisively threw down their bows, drew their swords, and surrounded him from all sides.
He was fighting with a few bodyguards on the periphery.
Cao Cao was in plain clothes this time.
He didn't bring many personal guards with him, so he was outnumbered.
"I'll stop them!" Xu Chu shouted. Take Sikong and leave!"
He welcomed one person.
The saber suddenly slashed out.
With a few slashes, he fell to the ground.
Lu Lingqi also rushed in a direction.
The Plum Blossom Spear was as fast as a gust of wind and lightning, and it managed to knock down an assassin who was trying to get close to it.
The two guards blocked the enemy one after the other.
Cao Xu and the Xiahou brothers used cover to move Cao Cao to a safer location. From the current situation, there were many assassins, at least a hundred of them, and they were agile. They should all be elite death warriors or paladins.
Xu Chu was brave.
There was only one person and one saber.
It would be good enough if he could stall ten people.
Even if all ten of them worked together, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat Xu Chu.
However, he could temporarily stall them by fighting and retreating.
At this moment, the other assassins would be able to easily go around them and break through from Lu Lingqi, who looked weaker.
Lu Lingqi's strength wasn't bad.
However, he was definitely not as strong as Xu Zhu.
She could clearly feel the pressure increasing rapidly.
Cao Cao saw the crisis and immediately said,""The main target of these people is me. Yuan wants you to protect Zi Qiu and break out of the encirclement first!”
"Sikong…" Xiahou Dun said anxiously.
"This is an order!"
"Don't you understand?" Ziqiu and I can't both fall here! At least one of us has to go back!”
Xiahou Dun's martial arts.
It was slightly higher than Xiahou Yuan.
Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to escort Cao Xu away.
This meant that Cao Xu had a greater chance of survival.
It was hard to believe.
He was the ambitious man who had once said," I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."
There was actually a moment where he would sacrifice himself for others!
Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth." Ziqiu, don't be afraid. Follow me closely later. Even if I die, I will send you back to Xuchang safely!"”
Cao Xu was baffled.
Do I look scared?
"No need!" He shook his head.
Cao Cao quickly said," Now is not the time to show off. The bandits are well-planned and fierce. The most important thing is to protect yourself!”
"This assassination operation was indeed incisive and sudden, but these people also miscalculated some things," Cao Xu said.”
"What is it?" Cao Cao was puzzled.
Cao Xu pointed at himself.
What he wanted to express was very simple.
Some people thought that the plan was perfect.
He had miscalculated a variable and underestimated Cao Xu.
"Ziqiu, what do you want?"
"Come back quickly!"
"Generals, stay behind and protect Father!" Cao Xu said.”
He stood up and rushed out.
"I'll be back soon!"
Cao Cao panicked!
This scene seemed familiar.
It reminded him of two years ago.
The painful experience in Wancheng.
Back then, if Cao Ang hadn't let him have his horse, he wouldn't have died tragically!
To protect him, Cao Xu had given up the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and had taken the initiative to charge out to attract the enemy's attention.
Cao Cao's eyes were red, if anything happened to Zi Qiu, it would be a blow he couldn't bear!
