Zhang Kai, a general under Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou, received a secret letter.
Zhang Kai didn't know who wrote this letter.
But what he said in the letter moved his heart.
Zhang Kai was originally an old member of the Yellow Turbans.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, Zhang Kai, who was desperate, defected to the good old Tao Qian.
From a careless person to an official in the imperial court.
After a few years, I have realized my own life value.
But there are always times when people are not satisfied.
This secret letter captured Zhang Kai's insatiable mentality.
He was encouraged to break away from Tao Qian's control and rob Cao Song's money to start his own business.
Zhang Kai thought about it.
I feel like no matter who wrote this letter.
It is good for himself.
So he asked Tao Qian for help.
Expressed his willingness to escort Cao Song and his family to Yanzhou.
Tao Qian happened to have this intention as well.
Cao Cao's recent rise has been too rapid.
No slower than the rise of the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Cao will soon become a powerful figure in the party.
Tao Qian also wanted to lay the foundation of friendship with Cao Cao.
Many friends mean many paths.
Zhang Kai was sent out by Tao Qian to escort Cao Song.
At first Zhang Kai was quite polite to Cao Song.
Protecting Cao Song along the way across Xuzhou.
We arrived at the junction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou.
Seeing that they were about to enter Taishan County in Yanzhou, Zhang Kai's anger was about to reach its peak.
why?
Cao Song was a rich man.
Even though I am traveling, I still enjoy spicy food.
At this point, Cao Song was still very dissatisfied and reprimanded the accompanying chef more than once for not doing his best.
Look at Zhang Kai again.
The food Tao Qian gave them was only cold and hard dry food.
Not as good as the leftovers that Cao Song dumped on the roadside after eating!
There is no harm without comparison. Zhang Kai's accumulated anger almost burned through his head!
Driven by endless rage.
Zhang Kai transferred all his dissatisfaction and anger to Cao Song.
Recalling the contents of the secret letter, a bold idea appeared in Zhang Kai's mind:
Killing and stealing goods!
Cao Song carried hundreds of carts of money with him!
Tempting or not?
Through the tarpaulin covering the carriage, Zhang Kai could feel the jewelery emanating from it!
Then, tragedy happened.
Zhang Kai led his 500 soldiers to rob Cao Song's troops.
He robbed Cao Song of all his money.
If anyone refuses to obey, Zhang Kai's subordinates will strike him with a knife.
Cut the guards in Cao Song's motorcade into two pieces.
Facing Zhang Kai's atrocities.
Cao Song did not dare to resist and hid in the toilet with his concubine.
He escaped the riot with the pungent smell and the sight of filth.
When the noisy noise outside gradually subsided.
Cao Song poked half of his head out of the toilet and looked out.
I saw nothing but a mess outside.
The vicious gangsters have all dispersed.
Zhang Kai did have murderous intentions at first, but when he thought that Cao Song was Cao Cao's son.
In the end, he didn't dare to kill him.
After leading people to loot the property, they left Cao Song and left.
It was quiet and empty all around.
Cao Song breathed a long sigh of relief.
He crawled out of his dirty hiding place and cursed through gritted teeth:
"Tao Qian! I'm not finished with you! My son is Cao Cao! I will never let you go!"
The words have not yet finished.
A voice suddenly sounded from the corner:
"I didn't expect that the dignified Duke would hide in the hut."
Cao Song quickly turned around and looked.
I saw a dozen people in black clothes coming out of the corner.
Everyone holds a shining sword in their hands!
"You...who are you?"
Cao Song, who thought he survived the catastrophe, panicked again.
The group of men in black in front of me are obviously coming with bad intentions!
The leading man in black hesitated to speak.
He shook his head and said: "You don't need to know so clearly, you will become a dead person anyway."
The leading man in black threw up the sword in his hand.
Then a nice roundhouse kick.
Kicked on the hilt of the knife.
The sword swirling in the air flew out immediately.
It penetrated Cao Song's heart accurately!
"Well……"
Cao Song went down, covering his heart.
It didn't take long for him to lose his breath.
Came to Cao Song's body.
The leading man in black pulled out the sword inserted in Cao Song's heart.
He cut off Cao Song's concubine's neck with a knife.
shouted:
"Search the scene! No survivors left!"
The dozen men in black following him immediately took action.
Anyone who falls to the ground does not matter whether they are dead or alive.
A knife to the heart!
The methods are extremely cruel!
Until he stabbed everyone in the heart one by one.
A dozen men in black returned to the leader.
Indicating that there are no more survivors.
The man in black who took the lead nodded with satisfaction.
He reached out and slowly pulled off the black mask on his face.
Surprisingly, it was Chen Dao who served under Liu Bei!
The whole thing was Chen Gong's plan!
He was sure that Tao Qian, a good old man, would definitely send troops to escort Cao Song.
The secret letter Zhang Kai received before was written by Chen Gong.
Through Mi Zhu, a local wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, the secret message was quietly sent to Zhang Kai's residence.
He encouraged Zhang Kai to take the initiative to ask Tao Qian to take over the task of escorting Cao Song.
It aroused his desire to kill people and sell goods.
However, Chen Gong had already decided that Zhang Kai did not have the guts to attack Cao Song.
So Liu Bei sent Chen Dao over.
Zhang Kai killed all the dozens of guards Cao Song had brought with him.
After leaving with Cao Song's money.
Let Chen Dao come forward to finish the story and appear as a robber.
Kill Cao Song with one strike.
Zhang Kai's goal was Cao Song's money.
And Chen Dao’s goal is Cao Song’s old life!
As long as Cao Song dies.
Cao Cao will definitely bear a grudge against Tao Qian.
He raised a large number of troops to attack Tao Qian.
At this time Liu Bei's opportunity came.
Nowadays, Cao Cao is developing rapidly and is in the limelight for a while.
There are not many people who dare to offend Cao Cao.
Tao Qian, who has no ambition, will definitely feel intimidated by this.
Even proactively seeking alliances.
Then Liu Bei's opportunity came.
When others are afraid of Cao Cao and dare not lend a helping hand.
Liu Bei stepped forward to help Tao Qian in time.
Isn't that just giving timely help?
Not only can he establish a strong alliance with Tao Qian.
He can also win Tao Qian's great trust.
What happens after that is easy to say.
How did Yuan Shu's elder brother Yuan Shao kill Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, step by step, and take control of Jizhou.
Liu Bei just did the same thing.
Liu Bei, who entered Xuzhou, could borrow the financial resources of Mi Zhu, the richest man in Xuzhou.
Secretly wooing the famous nobles in Xuzhou, gradually evading Tao Qian's power.
Then he replaced him and became the new Lord of Xuzhou.
From Pingyuan Ling sat down to Xuzhou Mu's position.
Isn't it just one step to reach the sky?
This is Chen Gong's entire plan.
In fact.
The direction of things also developed completely according to the script he had written in advance.
so far.
There hasn’t been any deviation yet!
Next.
It all depends on Cao Cao's reaction.
Taishan County belongs to Yanzhou.
The soldiers stationed here soon discovered Cao Song's tragic death.
Taishan County Governor Ying Shao did not dare to hide it and quickly reported the matter to Cao Cao.
Two days later.
Cao Cao received the bad news that his father died tragically in Xuzhou!
"ah--"
A shrill roar came from Cao Cao's room.
Completely opposite to his usual calm tone.
Immediately afterwards there was a sound of "ping ping ping pong" hitting things angrily.
Cao Cao smashed everything in the room to pieces!
Until all the strength is exhausted.
Until he collapses to the ground from exhaustion.
outside the room.
Xun Yu whispered worriedly: "As a son of man, this is a difficult road for my lord to go through."
Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others nodded.
Xu Chu, who served as Cao Cao's personal bodyguard general, snorted angrily.
He walked out without saying a word.
Dian Wei, who was also a guard general like Xu Chu, asked in a rough voice: "Zhongkang, what are you doing?"
Xu Chu kept walking.
Without looking back he said: "I'm going to cut off the heads of Tao Qian and Zhang Kai to pay homage to the old man's spirit in heaven!"
Dian Wei immediately chased after him: "Count me in!"
These two idiots.
Two people dare to cause trouble in Xuzhou!
It’s not that they are arrogant, it’s that they have the capital.
The fighting power of these two Tiehanhans is definitely not inferior to that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
Seeing the two people walking away angrily side by side, Xun Yu and others quickly chased after them and tried to stop them.
But how can these two idiots be willing to listen?
He immediately started arguing with Xun Yu and others.
Noisy and noisy.
Cao Cao's door suddenly opened.
"What's the noise?"
Everyone turned to look.
Cao Cao, whose temples turned gray, walked out of the room.
His face was extremely gloomy!
