Chapter 640 Death of Cao Song
It is said that Cao Song returned to his youth and lived in seclusion in the countryside, just like the emperor of Qiao County. I have no worries every day. I take advantage of the good weather in the morning to look at the large white walls and black tiles of the clan temple by the Qiao River, and I feel extremely satisfied.
The calm water of the Qiao River reflects the tall ancestral temple like a mirror. The slanting arches and cornices reach high into the sky, forming a natural and harmonious picture, which is a perfect match for the beautiful scenery.
Cao Song looked at the river, thinking about the merger of the Xiahou family's ancestral temple and the Cao family. Suddenly, a breeze seemed to blow from the horizon, ruffling a section of the river water, and the reflection became distorted and no longer so clear. Cao Song couldn't help but rub his old eyes, sighing secretly that age is not forgiving, and whether his old eyes were dim.
Sure enough, the reflection became clear again, and Cao Song couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that he was not old enough to see clearly. In the morning, Xia Hou said that this boy was going hunting. Looking at these energetic and fierce children, Cao Song couldn't help but think of the fat concubine he had just married.
Xiahou was eighteen years old. He led thousands of local soldiers to guard his hometown in Qiaojun. He used to use an iron spear and was quite good in martial arts, but he had a hot temper. A while ago, it was said that Cao Pi was not favored by his father, so he returned to his hometown to live for a while, and had a heated fight with Xia Houchen.
Cao Song thought of Cao Pi and couldn't help but shook his head slightly. The boy was taciturn and looked a little gloomy. No wonder, Cao Cao liked Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, the eldest son of the eldest son, Cao Zhi, Cao Zijian, the fourth son, and Cao Chong, the newly born Cao Chong. He was willing to take his third son, Huang Xuer, Cao Zhang, Cao Ziwen with him during the war. However, the second oldest son was not good at writing or martial arts. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not like it.
Cao Song sighed slightly and turned to look at the generals on the left and right. Cao De stood beside him and stretched his head. Seeing Cao Song looking over, he thought the old patriarch was about to get up and quickly came over. Unexpectedly, Cao Song shouted: "Jiu Son, bring me a deck chair! The weather is nice today, I’ll sit by the river for a while.”
Ji'er is Cao De's nickname. He is Cao Song's youngest son. He has no ability and has never been an official. Cao De agreed and hurriedly asked people to bring a lounge chair to his home. Cao Song lay comfortably on the chair and basked in the sun, and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Half asleep and half awake, feeling the warmth and lingering warmth of the sun, like a lover's hand, my eardrums suddenly vibrated, as if another breeze was passing by, bringing with it a few sounds of horse hooves. Cao Song turned sideways, wondering which boy was riding a fast horse in the city, maybe he was the son of the Xiahou family.
The world became quiet again, and Cao Song was just about to fall asleep when suddenly the sound of horse hooves came again in his ears, this time it was a rumble of hooves,
I don’t know how many iron hooves trampled the green bricks on the street, and also trampled Cao Song’s dream. Cao Song opened his eyes and stood up. He saw that the entire river was shaking, as lively as a jumping fish pond. The beautiful reflection just now was completely destroyed. He said angrily: "Who is so bold? Could it be that boy Xia Hou called him Are you back from hunting?”
Seeing that the old man was angry, Cao De quickly ran towards the sound of hooves to check, secretly cursing who dared to lead troops into the city in broad daylight after taking advantage of the leopard's courage. In a moment, Cao De ran back again, this time with a fast horse chasing behind him. The general immediately held a sharp sword in his hand, and struck Cao De on the leg. Cao De fell to the ground with a thud. , was picked up by the general and said: "Where is Cao Song?"
At this moment, chaos began in the city. Cao Song saw Cao De being dragged up from the ground. He happened to look at the general on the horse. The general immediately felt that he was Cao Song, threw Cao De away, and rode straight away. Come to Cao Song. Cao Song saw that his young son Cao De was not sure whether he was alive or dead. He was shocked and hurt. He turned around and wanted to run away, but he forgot that it was the river. He stepped into the Qiao River and immediately sank down. His old arms and legs could not swim, and even the dog could not swim. He didn't know how to plow, and the more he struggled, the more he drifted toward the center of the river. He didn't even have time to call for help, and soon he was no longer heard.
The general on the horse was none other than Yang Feng, who had led the troops to attack Qiao County. Seeing Cao Song disappear into the Qiao River, he took the reins of his horse and the war horse whistled softly, then turned around and headed towards the Cao Family Ancestral Temple. Qiaohe returned to its harmonious and beautiful state, as if nothing had happened.
There were more than 300 people living in the Cao family ancestral temple, most of whom were women, children, and children. Wherever they had any ability to resist, mourning and blood flowed all over the place. All the luxury and fine goods inside the Cao family ancestral temple were plundered by these sudden ferocious spirits. Everyone thought it was a sudden arrival of mountain bandits. Yang Feng ordered his people to separate the captured Cao family members according to gender and age, and tied up all the young men, young girls and young women. Except for Cao Song, who was drowned in the Qiao River, Yang Feng had no time to ask the prisoners who they were. Who is it, packed up and taken away along with everything.
Qiaojun suddenly encountered a disaster. There were no generals guarding the city. The soldiers at the gate were dead on the ground. Everything happened so fast, even hundreds of war horses from Qiao County were swept away by Yang Feng, and the captured Cao and Xiahou people were immediately tied up. More than two thousand cavalry rushed back the way they came. It was not until Xia Houchen returned from hunting that he learned that a huge accident had happened. He searched everywhere for the absence of Master Cao Song. Xia Houchen thought that the master had also been kidnapped by the bandits, so he quickly gathered a thousand cavalry. , looked at the horseshoe marks and chased after him. In the end, Cao De was injured and survived. After bandaging his wounds, he ordered people to pick up Cao Song while sending people to report to Cao Cao.
Han Xian waited on the boat all night and day. Seeing the sun setting soon, he felt a little panicked. He must have killed Yang Feng's two thousand men by Cao Cao's black-armored warriors. If he didn't leave, I'm afraid Cao's soldiers would follow him. The prisoners' confessions found their own troops. Han Xian was like an ant on a hot pot, with heaven and man at war in his heart. Finally, when the sky was getting dark, he issued an order for everyone to pull out the anchor. The boat had just turned around when suddenly there was a loud sound of hooves on the shore, and then the light of torches flowed out like a flood from the shore and piled up on the bank of the Xiaohong River. Someone screamed strangely in the dark night: "General Han, hurry to the shore! General Yang has returned victoriously!"
Han Xian was startled. In the dark night, he couldn't see how many teams there were on the shore. It was also unknown if it was a trap by Cao Bing. Han Xian rolled his eyes and had an idea. He ordered dozens of people to shout towards the shore: "We are Cao Bing from Chen County. Which Cao Bing are you from?"
There was a commotion on the shore, and suddenly a loud shout rang out from the crowd: "Han Xian! You coward, pull the boat over quickly!" When Han Xian heard it, it was Yang Feng's voice, and he twitched lightly. He slapped himself in the face and responded with a loud voice: "Get to the shore immediately! Brother Yang, please be patient, we are approaching now!"
This time, Yang Feng captured more than fifty Cao clan hostages. He first planned to shoot Cao Ang to death, and then led to Cao Song's final death, forming an inextricable blood feud with Cao Cao. Yang Feng and Han Xian returned to Luohe Castle this time and were about to face Cao's army of more than 200,000 people. Can these more than 50 hostages stop Cao Cao's determination to take revenge?
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
