Langya County.
Cao Song of Langya County, who was hiding from disaster, was immediately happy when he received Cao Cao's letter.
Because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Cao Cao raised an army in Chenliu. Cao Song was worried that his entire family would be killed, so he hid in Langya Commandery to avoid disaster.
Now that Dong Zhuo was dead and his son was doing well in Yanzhou, Cao Song naturally wasn't worried about his entire family being exterminated.
Immediately.
Cao Song followed his youngest son, Cao De, and a family of more than 40 people, followed by more than 100 people and more than 100 cars, straight to Yanzhou.
At the county boundary, he met the Taishan Prefecture Governor Ying Shao who had come to receive him.
Ying Shao was worried that the bandits of Mount Tai would come to rob him, but he couldn't beat them and let Cao Cao down, so he suggested borrowing troops from Tao Qian to escort them.
Although Cao Cao had beaten Tao Qian up badly last year, Ying Shao felt that Tao Qian would give him face.
Moreover, by giving Tao Qian a chance to escort Cao Song, he could also do Tao Qian a favor.
After all, two years ago, Ying Shao had accepted Tao Qian's invitation and recommended Zhu Xi as the Grand Preceptor along with Kong Rong, Zheng Xuan, and ten others. They had sent out a call to arms to all the places to prepare for the crusade against Li Jue.
Ying Shao is a famous official.
As a celebrity, he always liked to add some stories to himself.
In this day and age, the reputation of a celebrity was still very high!
Ying Shao's face was indeed very big.
When Tao Qian heard the news, he immediately left the country to welcome them. He bowed again and held a banquet to entertain Ying Shao and Cao Song for two days.
When Cao Song wanted to leave, Tao Qian personally sent Cao Song out of the city. He also agreed to Ying Shao's suggestion and specially sent commandant Zhang Kai with 500 soldiers to escort him.
Cao Song was happy to be treated and immediately told Tao Qian that he would help Cao Cao form an alliance with Tao Qian.
Ying Shao also patted his chest and promised that he would put in a good word for Tao Qian in front of Cao Cao!
But what Cao Song and Ying Shao didn't know was…
Tao Qian had never thought of forming an alliance, much less improving his relationship with Cao Cao!
After being beaten up by Cao Cao and having his headquarters moved to Tancheng, with six or seven out of ten of his soldiers gone, would Tao Qian be willing to ally with Cao Cao?
You beat me up, and I still have to make up with you and call you big brother?
It was impossible!
More importantly…
Not long ago, Tao Qian had sent a letter to Gongsun Zan, asking for help from his colleague who had once conquered Xiqiang.
Gongsun Zan also agreed happily and promised to inform Tian Kai of Qingzhou.
In short.
Tao Qian was confident now. He wasn't afraid of Cao Cao!
Looking at Cao Song's troops that were far away, Tao Qian's gentle and pure expression from two days ago changed. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness."Cao Aman, you seized my city and killed my soldiers and civilians. This hatred is irreconcilable!”
"I'll let you have a taste of your entire family being slaughtered!”
....
Langya County and Taishan County, between Hua County and Fei County.
In a hidden village.
Chen Mu waited patiently for the news.
Guan Hai thought that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were the same kind of people.
However, Guan Hai eventually approved of Chen Mu's decision. The group of four hundred people headed south to Xuzhou and hid in the mountain stronghold at the border of the prefecture.?
The reason why he chose this place.
Chen Mu had determined that it was the most likely place for Cao Song to be buried.
This was the county boundary, there were many bandits and it was also the gathering place for the bandits of Mount Tai.
If Tao Qian wanted to kill Cao Song, this was the most suitable place!
"Chief, the brothers who were scouting for information have returned!”
"Tao Qian sent commandant Zhang Kai with five hundred soldiers to escort Cao Song.”
"Now that we're at the county boundary, when should we move?”
Chen Mu's gaze shifted slightly." Brothers in the stronghold, is there anyone familiar with Zhang Kai?"”
Guan Hai thought for a moment,"There's a guy called He Yi, he's from the same hometown as Zhang Kai."”
"Ask He Yi to find Zhang Kai. Tell him that we hope to follow Zhang Kai and share the glory and wealth!”Chen Mu quickly made up his mind.?
Guan Hai accepted the order.
He immediately sent He Yi to Zhang Kai's team.
He heard that a group of four hundred Yellow Turban soldiers had nowhere to go and wanted to seek refuge with him.
Zhang Kai immediately had an idea.
"I only have five hundred people, Ying Shao also has five hundred.”
"Although Tao Qian promised to help me go to Huainan, in order to keep it a secret, I can't tell the leader of my subordinates.”
"In a hurry, we might not be able to kill all of the Cao Clan. However, if we have these four hundred people as external aid, we will definitely be safe!”
Immediately.
Zhang Kai agreed to the surrender of Chen Mu's Yellow Turban soldiers and secretly met with Chen Mu.
Chen Mu pretended to worship Zhang Kai as his master and told him that it was summer and the rain was coming in a flash. There was an ancient temple at the county boundary that could shelter them from the rain.
Zhang Kai did not suspect anything else.
On the way, there was indeed a heavy rain.
Zhang Kai suggested that they hide in the ancient temple.
Cao Song settled his family down and ordered General Zhang Kai to station horses in the two corridors.
The clothes of the soldiers were all wet from the rain and they all complained.
Zhang Kai saw that the morale of the army could be used, so he called his leader to a secluded place to discuss and lied,"We were originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, and we reluctantly submitted to Tao Qian without any benefits. Now that the Cao family has more than a hundred wagons, it's not difficult for you to think of wealth.”
"As long as we kill Cao Song's family and Ying Shao's army at midnight, we can share the wealth and fall into the mountains together.”
The leaders agreed.
At this moment.
Outside the ancient temple.
Chen Mu also received a message from Zhang Kai.
"My plan worked!"
"Guan Hai, pass down my order. Tonight, pretend to be soldiers of Qingzhou and listen to my orders.”
