Thousands of ambush soldiers kept pouring in front of everyone's eyes.

The clothes worn by these ambush soldiers were tattered.

Like a mountain thief rogue, and like a thug of homeless.

"This... What is this situation? "

Wang Lang and Xun Yu frowned.

The Runan's territory is the territory belonging to Cao Ying.

Being able to send ambushes in this place shows that there is a high probability that the murderer behind the scenes is still someone from Cao Ying.

Among the carriages.

Cao Ying's face was calm as usual.

Around him, there are not only tiger and leopard riders and dark guards, but also Gan Ning and Jinfan thieves.

With this lineup, let alone the thousands of ambushes in front of you with tattered equipment and scattered queues.

Even if he encounters more than 10,000 regular troops, Cao Ying still has the power of a battle!

Under the night.

The killing is officially on!

Huang Zhong and Pound De led the tiger and leopard horses to launch a surprise attack.

The secret guard, led by Xu Yi and Wang Shuang, guarded Cao Ying's side.

The Jinfan thief is the incarnation of the "Night Reaper", constantly roaming the chaotic army and collecting the lives of the enemy.

Thousands of miscellaneous soldiers are not at all opponents of the tiger and leopard horse, the jinfan thief, and the dark guard.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the battle was nearing its end.

The beheaded enemy numbered more than 2,300 people.

Only two or three hundred deserters left the battlefield while it was dark.

Xun Yu and Wang Lang walked towards Cao Ying and said with concern:

"Gongzi, are you all right?"

Cao Ying waved her hand and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, two gentlemen."

"With so many excellent soldiers of our army, the enemy can't hurt me in the slightest."

"But this ambush seems very strange."

"I don't think the person behind the scenes is a very smart guy."

The voice fell.

Xun Yu and Wang Lang's faces gradually became solemn.

With their wisdom, they can naturally guess that the murderer behind the scenes must be from the two major factions of Hebei or Henan.

But.

Xun Yu was sure that it couldn't be the hand of the Yingchuan Xun family.

The Xun family was almost tied to Cao Ying, how could they make a move on the Dragon Express?

Soon.

Huang Zhong and Pang De came to Cao Ying's side and reported:

"Lord, the clothes worn by these enemies are all worn by mountain thieves and rogues on weekdays."

"Their fighting power of 667 is also not strong."

"It's not like a private soldier."

"It's like... A thief in nearby Mangtang Mountain. "

"Mangtang Mountain?"

Cao Ying smiled slightly.

Then the order was given that the whole army marched in the direction of Mangtang Mountain.

It doesn't matter who is behind this gang of thieves.

Anyway, they provoked Cao Ying.

In Cao Ying's dictionary, there is never the word "loss"!

Since you provoked him, you need to pay a price!

......

Under the Mangtang Mountain

Looking at the cottage where only the old, weak and sick remained.

Cao Ying ordered the Jinfan thieves to act as the vanguard, kill into the mountains, and arrest all the remaining personnel inside the cottage.

Soon.

In a wail.

This cottage in Mangtang Mountain was reduced to ruins in the sea of fire.

As for the group of thieves, Cao Ying planned to bring them back to Xuchang to serve as free labor and squeeze out the last trace of value.

Among them, some mountain thieves took the initiative to ask Cao Ying for mercy.

And he said that not long ago, someone came to their Mangtang Mountain and gave them a large amount of money and grain, hoping that they would rob and kill Cao Ying.

The king of Mangtang Mountain did not know the reality of the situation under Cao Ying.

Mistakenly thought that it was just a small force transiting.

So, the king of the mountain was obsessed and planned today's ambush.

However.

As soon as the fight began, the king of the mountain immediately regretted it.

The combat effectiveness under Cao Ying is not at all comparable to that of the mountain thief rogue.

The mountain king of Mangtang Mountain also died at the hands of Pound on the battlefield.

But.

The remaining bandits in the cottage did not know who the person who hired them to rob and kill Cao Ying was.

Looking at Xun Yu's frowns, Cao Ying came to his side and soothed:

"Master rest assured, this ambush, the Xun family must not be aware."

"But if there are other Henan families involved."

"Master, you know, I'm not the kind of character who suffers losses."

The voice fell.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly.

The influence of the Henan family in Cao Ying is too great.

The Xun family was nominally the head of the Henan family.

But in fact, other families in the Henan family do not have their own careful thinking?

For example, the Yingchuan Chen family once openly contradicted the Xun family.

And the Xun family's proximity to Cao Ying also made a large number of people in the Henan family feel very uncomfortable.

This group of Henan families still hoped that Lao Cao could pass the position to Cao Pi instead of Cao Ying.

The Xun family, and this group of families, have naturally drifted apart, and even parted ways.

Subsequently.

Cao Ying ordered the whole army to speed up and return to Xuchang.

At the same time, Cao Ying sent a sentry horse to Xuchang first, telling Lao Cao about the ambush.

......

Xu Chang

Prime Minister's House

After learning the news of his eldest grandson's return from Shouchun, Lao Cao has been in a good mood these days.

With it, old trees bloom new flowers.

And Mrs. Bian studied the creation of people again.

I plan to create another little uncle for Cao Ying.

Of course, the business-going old Cao will not delay.

For example, Liu Bei intends to send troops to Hanzhong in the near future.

Old Cao pondered whether to go to Hanzhong in person.

It's different from the original history.

During the Hanzhong War in history, there were frequent rebellions in various parts of the north.

Lao Cao is like a "running cow and horse", every day is either on the counterinsurgency or on the way to counterinsurgency.

This caused Lao Cao to delay until the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, and on the eve of Xiahou Yuan's death in battle, he freed up his hand to go to the Hanzhong battlefield to support Xiahou Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan actually died in battle one step ahead of Old Cao.

But now it's completely different.

The first is inside Xu Chang.

The group of people who secretly opposed Lao Cao had long been caught out by Cao Ying.

Again.

Since Xun Yu did not die, the relationship between the Xun family and Lao Cao was still close.

As a result, within the family, there were not many people who secretly joined the anti-Cao camp as in the original history.

All parts of the north are currently stable, and there is no outbreak of war.

Not long ago, Tian Yu, the captain of the Xianbei Guard, even killed a Xianbei Wanfu who went south to plunder and prefecture!

The situation is very good.

Even if Old Cao is not in Xuchang or Yecheng, there will be no big trouble within Cao Ying.

However.

Just when Lao Cao finished a whole day of official business, he planned to go and continue to study the creation of people with Mrs. Bian.

Xu Chu suddenly panicked and walked in quickly from outside.

"Zhongkang, are you...?"

Old Cao was suddenly shocked in his heart.

Subsequently, Xu Chu delivered a letter to Lao Cao, and said with a bitter face:

"Lord, Ei Gongzi was ambushed near Runan."

"Although he completely destroyed the ambush soldiers, but..."

"But that's the land of Runan, the territory that my Cao Mengde has been operating for more than ten years, right?"

Xu Chu's words did not fall, and Lao Cao took his words and helped him complete them.

Subsequently.

Lao Cao opened the letter.

The epistle is Cao Ying's handwriting.

Details of the ambush are recorded above. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"The thief of Mangtang Mountain?"

"Oh, some people, it's really impatient."

Old Cao's eyes were full of fierceness.

He had witnessed the death of his two favorite sons before his eyes.

Nowadays, even the eldest grandson Cao Ying can't protect it. (CGAE) So what else does he, the lord of the north, mean?

At this moment, Lao Cao only had one thought left in his heart.

"Those who move Cao Ying, there is no mercy for killing!"

Thinking of this, Lao Cao ordered Xu Chu:

"Zhongkang, you immediately take the Tiger Guard Army and go and lock up the three unscrupulous sons of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Chang at home."

"Anyone who wants to meet with them, arrest them immediately and bring them to the old man!"

"Whoosh!"

Xu Chu left on order.

The Tiger Guard was dispatched.

Soon surrounded the mansion of the third son of the Cao family.

I don't know if it's because Lao Cao is the most suspicious of Cao Pi.

Outside Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang's mansions, the people in charge were the two deputy commanders of the Tiger Guard.

Outside Cao Pi's mansion, the leader of the team was Xu Chu himself.

Seeing Xu Chu's face showing a fierce and evil expression, Cao Pi couldn't help but wonder:

"Uncle Zhongkang, what are you?"

Xu Chu said coldly:

"Prince Pi, the last will be ordered by the Lord to wait outside your palace."

"Until the Lord gives the latest order, the last will not leave this place."

Cao Pi people are going numb!

If it is put in the future life, he will definitely have to say at this time, "Who in the family understands!?" "

Yes, this time the ambush of Cao Ying, Cao Pi did not know.

Or rather, it has nothing to do with him.

Since the last time he stole the rice, Cao Pi has been much more honest recently.

What he wanted was a fatal blow, not this ambush that gave Cao Ying his head for nothing.

Of course.

Cao Pi did not know at the moment that Cao Ying had been ambushed.

He just keenly felt that something big was about to happen in Cao Ying.

Old Cao was furious, although he would not ambush a million.

But killing someone's head rolls is still easy.

......

Meanwhile.

The mansions of Cao Zhi and Cao Chang were also surrounded by the Tiger Guards.

Cao Zhi's eyes were filled with a trace of hesitation.

Cao Zhang, on the other hand, was full of confusion, shouting that he wanted the Tiger Guard to release him, but was pressed against the wall by several Tiger Guard soldiers and could not move.

The news that the third son of the Cao family was surrounded by the Tiger Guard soon spread throughout Xuchang.

After some hesitation, Xun Yu decided to go to Lao Cao's mansion.

Old Cao seemed to have thought that Xun Yu might come here.

Tea was prepared in advance.

Prime Minister Fuzhong

Old Cao invited Xun Yu into the study.

Personally poured tea for Xun Yu, looking at the inky sky outside the window, Lao Cao said with a smile:

"Wen Ruo, you and I haven't narrated here for a long time."

"Time has passed, and Cao has finally stood on the opposite side of some old friends."

Some old friends did not refer to Xun Yu.

It is some other leaders in the Henan family.

Xun Yu and Lao Cao have cooperated for so many years, and naturally understood the subtext in Lao Cao's words in an instant.

Yes, this time, Lao Cao is ready to do something to some people.

All the people of the Henan family involved in this matter, Lao Cao advised Xun Yu not to interfere, because Lao Cao would not give him this opportunity to keep these people!

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and sighed:

"Lord, his subordinates, like you, want to catch everyone who intends to kill Eigongzi!"

"After all, Ei Gongzi is a subordinate's brother-in-law."

Hear this.

The originally somewhat dignified atmosphere instantly became much lighter.

Old Cao almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xun Yu is also nearly fifty years old.

Although he is younger than Lao Cao, he is still the same generation after all.

If Cao Ying marries Xun Cai, it is equivalent to becoming Xun Yu's brother-in-law.

And Cao Ying is the grandson of Lao Cao.

Is this equivalent to Xun Yu being the grandson of Lao Cao?

Forcibly holding back a smile, Old Cao Zhengsei said:

"Wen Ruo, the old man will make a long story short."

"Those three unfilial sons, the old man does not know whether he participated in this matter for the time being."

"But if they are also involved in this matter, don't stop the old man, the old man will definitely slaughter them with his own hands!"

Looking at the murderous aura that appeared in Lao Cao's eyes, Xun Yu couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Lao Cao in his heart.

At that time, Cao Chong was violent, and the old Cao suffered from no evidence.

Otherwise, if it was really the third son of the Cao family who was caught by Lao Cao, the third son of the Cao family would definitely suffer!

This time, Xun Yu hoped that the third son of the Cao family would not cocoon himself.

Old Cao is very protective.

Moreover, he had already lost Cao Ang and Cao Chong.

If he loses Cao Ying again, I am afraid that Old Cao will become even more irrational!

"Yet."

"Wen Ruo, do you think it could have been done by the group of people from Yecheng?"

Old Cao paused and pointed out.

In this regard, Xun Yu said:

"Lord, the people of Yecheng, logically speaking, should be powerless to interfere in Runan's affairs."

"But those mountain thieves, to be honest, it doesn't feel like the hands of people from Yuzhou or Yanzhou."

Xun Yu said this very bluntly.

Yuzhou and Yanzhou refer to the Henan family.

If it is a Henan family that does it, it should send private soldiers, or more clever ambush methods.

On the contrary, the people behind the ambush of Cao Ying could not mobilize much force near Runan.

I can only make this strategy and spend money to hire the sixth floor of the thief to make a move.

And.

Xun Yu always felt.

This person behind the scenes may not be too smart.

It was not even clear how many defensive forces there were around Cao Ying.

Mobilizing the mountain thief to assassinate Cao Ying, this TM is a proper act of giving away people's heads!
