Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 20
The sudden change on the field was obviously unexpected, and Cao Ren was shocked.

In the dark night, he didn't know how many people came from the other party, and he was frightened by being hunted down before, so he immediately shouted: "Li Qian, you are the queen, retreat first!"

Shen Chen had already noticed that Zhao Yun had already clenched the short sword around his waist, and immediately shouted: "Uncle Zilong, it's now!"

Zhao Yun drew out the short sword in an instant and threw it with his left hand. The short sword shot towards Cao Ren's back like a shooting star. The distance between them was not too far, and Cao Ren only escaped by more than ten feet, which was about 20 meters away.

Now Cao Ren got on his horse and wanted to escape, but how could the horse speed up so quickly?
The short sword shot quickly, and ran straight towards the back of Cao Ren's neck.As if aware of the sharp blade piercing the air attack behind him, Cao Ren turned his head abruptly at the critical moment.

"what!"

There was a scream, and it was unclear where the short sword had hit in the dark night, but Cao Ren was still galloping wildly and continuing to flee.

Li Gan and others beside him quickly organized soldiers to defend against the enemy.

In fact, when Li Gan rushed over at the beginning, the formation was very disorganized. In addition, Li Gan was eager to save Cao Ren, so he only brought a dozen or so cavalry over quickly, causing the team to be out of touch.

So although he has a thousand soldiers, the distance between him and the front is very far. For example, there are less than a hundred people around him, and the rest of them are like a fire dragon.

At this moment, the formation was temporarily organized. Liu Bei believed that this was an opportunity to defeat the enemy, and waved his double-strand sword: "Kill!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came late, and their horses were not good enough to carry them.

Hearing this, the two immediately led the cavalry to kill.

However, although the two sides fought, it was actually Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun who led more than a dozen cavalry entourages to fight the hundred or so guards led by Li Qian.

Including the members of the Huangmenting clan, they were all far away.

Because this is in the plains and wilderness, the shouts can be heard for a long distance. It sounds loud, but it may be a mile or two away, and neither side can arrive immediately.

Soon Liu Bei and the others fought for a while with Li Gan and others, killing Li Gan and retreating, but Cao Ren had already taken this opportunity to escape a hundred feet away.

It is definitely too late to chase at such a distance, but Liu Bei and the others still wanted to ride their horses and chase after them, but Shen Chen's voice sounded behind him: "Mr. Xuande, stop chasing."

Liu Bei reined in his horse and came to a stop. Li Gan's large army had already come to meet him. He and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't catch up even if they wanted to. Cao Ren's head is also good to pay homage to the ghosts of Xuzhou."

Shen Chen said in a deep voice, "It's okay, let's charge some interest first this time."

His gaze was on the ground.

Under the moonlight, Zhao Yun's dagger on the ground was stained with blood, and beside it was an ear cut off by a sharp blade!

"Hahahaha!"

Cao Ren's maniacal laughter came again, echoing in the wilderness far away: "Liu Bei, you are not qualified to kill me. Shen Chen, let you get away with it this time, next time I will kill the whole clan!"

"Cao Ren, listen to me!"

Shen Chen roared angrily: "I, Shen Chen, swear against you, the Cao family. One day, I will take the heads of you and Cao Cao to pay homage to hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou!"

"Go dream."

The sound became farther and farther away, while the footsteps and shouts of Li Gan's army were getting closer.

Looking at the back of Cao Ren who was going away, Shen Chen's eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Ugh."

Liu Bei sighed, "Let's go."

The four reined in their horses and left in the direction of Huangmen Pavilion.

The wildfire in the distance was still going on, and the [-] soldiers Cao Ren had brought over had been wiped out, but the villagers of Huangmenting were also killed and injured.

During the daytime of the next day, the entire Huangmen Pavilion was in mourning. After counting yesterday, there were 37 households and more than 170 villagers in Zhuangyang. Only forty people survived, and the rest were slaughtered.

There is also Ding Xiangyong, who also killed and injured more than 100 people in the battle with Cao Ren's army.In this way, there were more than 1000 villagers in Huangmenting, and more than 300 people died overnight, a quarter less.

Half of them are young village laborers, which is a serious blow to the entire Huangmenting people. Even if they move to the south in the future, they will lack the ability to work.

However, it was not completely fruitless. After all Cao Ren's soldiers were wiped out, the weapons and equipment they left behind just made up for the lack of weapons of the tribe.

In this way, with a few more days of training, the matter of the clan's southward migration will be a little faster.

It’s just that such a sudden change occurred in the clan. Every family mourned and cried, and some families were almost wiped out. Walking along several townships within ten miles of Huangmenting, the whole village of Zengyangju was wiped out, and the rest of the townships were also crying. Constantly, plain onyx all over the place.

Deng Hong happened to stay in Deng's old house yesterday to discuss the sale of some land with several elder brothers, and escaped disaster. Now, he called the elders of the Deng and Shen clans, as well as some participants including Shen Chen, to discuss the meeting.

In the old house of Deng's family, everyone's faces were not good-looking. Some relatives died in several families, and there were still tears on their faces. Deng Zhao was also injured yesterday, and he was wrapped in gauze and sat on the mat.

He looked around and saw the mournful faces of the people, he sighed and said: "Fortunately, Shen Chen reminded me, I escaped the previous massacre, Cao Jun's revenge this time is obviously also because Shen Chen reminded the villagers to flee, if it weren't for Ah Morning, all of us are dead."

"That's right, Ah Chen, thanks to you this time, the villagers should not have any objections to the relocation to the south."

Elder Deng Mao set the tone for the meeting.

Deng Zhao's words were to determine Shen Chen's contribution first, while Deng Mao wanted to completely determine the clan's relocation.

Even though they escaped a catastrophe before, the entire Huangmen Pavilion and even some elders of the Dengshen Second Clan still couldn't make up their minds about the relocation. The procrastination these days was probably because they were reluctant to part with their property.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to leave the homeland when people leave their hometowns. Dozens of people in an ordinary village may fight each other, let alone hundreds of households and thousands of people in Huangmenting. It is normal for them to have different opinions.

It's just that Deng Mao, Deng Zhao, and the other Deng-Shen clan elders are quite sensible, knowing that if they don't find a way to leave the quagmire of war in the Central Plains, the whole village and even the whole pavilion will die at that time.

That's why I used the authority of the elders to forcibly suppress a lot of opposing voices.

But what happened yesterday has already told everyone that it is impossible to simply think that Cao Jun will be safe after leaving. Cao Cao just left for a short time, and one day he will come back. If he does not want to die, he must leave.

Now that the facts are in front of us, even if it is difficult to let go of the property field, a decision must be made.If you don't want to leave, you can stay here to fend for yourself, at least the Deng and Shen clans will definitely move.

"Oh, in this troubled world, we have to move too."

"At first, I wanted to take chances, but Cao thief will not let it go. He hates Tao Shijun too much."

"Even if Tao Shijun killed his father, why would he involve us and other villagers? Now the villagers are suffering heavy casualties, and we are forced to move to our homeland, alas, that Cao thief"

The village chiefs and village representatives of various clans are devastated. If they leave their hometowns and live in strange lands, they will lose a lot of things.

Relying on others, relying on others, lingering on one's last breath, dignity... But no matter what, even living in humiliation is better than losing your life.

Seeing everyone's grief, Deng Mao murmured: "Don't worry too much, everyone. Nanyang is the ancestral land of my Deng family. Although most of the ethnic groups have moved away, there are still a few remaining. This time we are going to Xinye, just to recognize Returning to the ancestors should be able to have a place to survive."

When the Deng family moved to their homeland, it was the third year of Emperor Yanguang of Han'an, that is, in 124 AD, which is exactly 70 years ago.Deng Mao is 57 years old this year and has not experienced clan migration, but his parents and grandparents have.

After Empress Dowager Deng died of illness, the eunuch Jiang Jing, the mother-in-law of Han'an Emperor Wang Sheng, Zhongchang Shi Fan Feng and others framed Xiping Hou Deng Hong, deposed him as a commoner, and framed the Deng family, which led to the decline of the Deng family.

At that time, there were mainly two branches of the Deng family, one was the Luoyang Deng family, which was an official in the capital, and there were many clans.The other branch is the Deng family in Xinye, who guards the ancestral land.

After Deng Hong was abolished and the Deng family was framed, the two clans chose to migrate on a large scale. Today's Deng family in Xiangben is from a branch of the Deng family in Xinye. At that time, there were more than 100 clansmen who migrated. The development of Ding has doubled.

A big family like them with a family background has a family tree.

Deng Mao felt that now that Nanyang was being occupied by Liu Biao, after returning to Xinye, if he took out the genealogy and identified his ancestors, he might be able to get the land and start over.

But Deng Mao is actually just trying to comfort everyone, although they are indeed from the Xinye Deng family, but after all, they have left their hometown and are no longer in their hometown. It is still unknown whether people will recognize them.

What's more, there is a shortage of supplies in this troubled time. The arrival of these people will crowd out the survival resources of the local people. Maybe they will not accept them when they return to their hometown.

But the others didn't think so much. Hearing Deng Mao's words, they thought that their lives would be settled after going to Jingzhou. They all smiled and the atmosphere improved a lot.

Everyone began to discuss how to return to the village to persuade the villagers to leave, and at the same time, the village gathered the land, and the property was sold and sorted out.

Everyone over there was still discussing this matter, while Shen Chen sat on the side without saying a word, thinking about something silently.

He is thinking about one thing.

Although Cao Ren is hateful, but luckily he didn't hurt his life yesterday.

Because Liu Bei who is currently in Xuzhou is not worthy of assistance, his temperament, city government, and way of thinking about problems are still too simple, and he has not yet grown to a certain level.

So you need to give him time to improve.

According to the historical process, Liu Bei would be attacked by Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in Xuzhou in turn, and finally had to flee Xuzhou and go to Xudu.

Many people thought that he was attached to Cao Cao when he went to Xu, but in fact, Han Xiandi Liu Xie was already in Xudu at that time, and Liu Bei went to Xudu to defect to Han Xiandi Liu Xie, not Sikong Cao Mengde.

At that time, Liu Xie still had some real power, because after Liu Xie arrived in Xudu, many powerful families and celebrities from all walks of life went to Xudu to join him. Liu Xie is in control.

In the second year of Jian'an, because Cao Cao killed Yilang Zhao Yan without authorization, Liu Xie was furious. Cao Cao's face changed greatly in fright, and he kowtowed like garlic. Please.

This situation lasted until Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, conquered Lu Bu eastward, wiped out all the princes in Henan, and finally wiped out Yuan Shao's main force in the Battle of Guandu. His own prestige and power reached its peak.

It was also during this period that Liu Xie's power was greatly weakened.

The guards at the palace gate were gradually controlled by Cao Cao's people, and many royalists were either eliminated by Cao Cao or defected to Cao Cao.

So the Yidaizhao happened.

It was at that time that Liu Bei realized that Cao Cao had completely controlled the emperor. He fled Xudu before and after the Battle of Guandu, went to Yuan Shao, and finally left Runan to attach himself to Liu Biao.

It can be said that the experience in Yingchuan Xudu in the past few years has given Liu Bei a lot of growth, and it has also allowed him to sharpen himself in the officialdom and officials.

And if Cao Ren is killed at this time, then the Liu Bei Group and the Cao Cao Group will have a deadly feud.

Although Liu Xie had some real power in the early days, most of the military power was still in the hands of Cao Cao. All he had was the command of the palace guards and the support of the royalists.

After Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, he went to Xudu to attach himself to Liu Xie. Even if Liu Xie protected him, with Cao Cao controlling the military power, he might forcefully remove Liu Bei just like killing Yilang Zhao Yan.

Therefore, Cao Ren was not killed yesterday, which is considered a good thing in the future.

Because the two sides did not have a deadly feud, Liu Bei went to join Liu Xie, and Cao Cao had no good reason to kill Liu Bei.

Moreover, Liu Xie was able to hand over the clothes and belts to Liu Bei, which means that Liu Bei quickly gained Liu Xie's trust when he went to Xudu. If Liu Bei was killed forcibly without reason, Cao Cao was likely to be counterattacked by Liu Xie.

So that's one thing for sure.

That is, Liu Bei defected to Liu Xie between 196 and 200 AD. As long as Cao Ren did not die, Cao Cao would most likely not kill him, and history would follow the original course.

So Cao Ren was not killed now, which is regrettable in the short term, but in the long run, it is a good thing.

only.

only.

It's just that the hatred in my heart is hard to get rid of!
Shen Chen clenched his fists, his veins twitched violently, and the anger in his eyes still burst out like flames.

No matter what, the blood debt of hundreds of relatives gathered in Zhuangyang will not dissipate.

Shen Chen didn't personally experience the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, and didn't have much feeling.

But the elders in my hometown, who were still living people the day before yesterday, have become ghosts who died in vain today.

How could this blood debt calm Shen Chen down?
His eyes were red with resentment.

The hatred of extermination is as deep as the sea.

at this moment.

Shen Chen silently swears in his heart.

As long as he, Shen Chen, and Deng Shen's clan were still around, the hatred between Cao Ren and their Huang Menting would never end there.

One day, I, Shen Chen, will tear you Cao Ren to pieces.To avenge the people of Xuzhou who died, to take revenge for the people of Huangmenting who died, and the blood debt of hundreds of relatives gathered in Zuoyang, you, the Cao family, will definitely pay it back!

This hatred is unbearable!
　I did consider writing Cao Ren to death. I intend to write this book in a more cruel way. Whoever deserves to die will die, and I won’t be procrastinating. But since I wrote Ji Hanwen, I have also analyzed Cao Cao’s strength in the Central Plains. Liu Bei did not For the chance to stand up, I can only go to Yizhou according to the normal route. At that time, the protagonist will grow up, and the main text will just start, but if Cao Ren is killed, Liu Bei will definitely be gone, so this is also a matter of no choice, but according to my plan It won't be long before the protagonist will take revenge, some readers, please don't rush?Threatening the author to abandon the book just by opening my mouth, I must have my own considerations and plans. The protagonist takes revenge from morning to night. The outline is that Cao Ren will die within the first volume, and he will live a few more chapters. Why should I change the outline?
　　In addition, if you feel uncomfortable, please turn to the chapter, there will be a chapter on the death of Cao Ren.
