Outside Xuzhou City, Zhao Yun Gaoshun was standing behind a big tree, and Cao Song and his tribe were also standing behind them.

A few soldiers stood at the back, observing the surrounding situation.

Zhao Yun Gaoshun looked at the position of the Xuzhou City Gate in front, and the soldiers on the city wall held torches.

There were also soldiers holding torches outside the city gate. Some distance in front of them was the path to Yanzhou.

However, when Zhao Yun took Cao Song and his tribe with him, he would inevitably be seen by soldiers holding torches as they headed towards the path.

Cao Song also saw at this time that there were soldiers holding torches under Xuzhou City and on the city walls.

Cao Song frowned when he saw this scene, not expecting Tao Qian to be so cautious.

The city gate has been closed, and soldiers holding torches have been posted outside the city gate.

Now he completely believed what Cao Cao's military advisor said, and Tao Qian really wanted to take him to the Governor's Mansion and put him under house arrest.

Otherwise, why would some soldiers holding torches be arranged outside the city gate in the dark night when the city gate is closed.

These soldiers were clearly here to survey the situation outside the city gate and were running towards him.

Thinking of this, Cao Song felt a little angry. He and Tao Qian were also officials in the same court.

Unexpectedly, this man could be so vicious and threaten Cao Cao with his life and that of his people.

Cao Song took a breath, saw Zhao Yun and Gao Shun in front of him and said:"Two generals"

"There are soldiers arranged by Tao Qian outside the Xuzhou city gate holding torches. If you want to go to Yanzhou from the trail, you will definitely be discovered by the soldiers."

Cao Song said with a trace of distress on his face. He couldn't go from Xuzhou to Yanzhou during the day.

There were soldiers patrolling along the dark night path with torches. Tao Qian arranged the soldiers very comprehensively in order to put him under house arrest.

"Don't worry, Duke Cao, these soldiers outside the city will return to the city, and those on the city wall will also leave."

Zhao Yun looked at the city gate in front of him that was illuminated by torches"527" like daytime, without any worry on his face.

Gao Shun on the side also nodded, his face very relaxed.

Cao Song saw that Zhao Yun and Gao Shun were so calm , there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

These soldiers were arranged by Tao Qian to survey the surrounding situation outside the city, so how could they return to Xuzhou City?

"Squeak!"

Cao Song suddenly heard a loud noise, and Cao Song looked at the Xuzhou city gate.

At this time, the city gate slowly opened, and a soldier came out holding a torch and looked at what the soldiers outside the city said.

The soldiers outside the city held torches Quickly, enter Xuzhou City through the gap in the city gate.

The soldiers on the city wall also held torches and left the city wall. Soon it was dark outside Xuzhou City.

Cao Song was stunned when he saw this scene. Cao De and other tribesmen saw this scene I was also stunned.

The city gate, which was brightly lit just now, was now completely dark.

"Cao Gong took advantage of the soldiers to enter the city and returned to Yanzhou from the trail."

Zhao Yun said as he drew out the long sword hidden in his sleeve and quickly headed to the trail.

Gao Shun also drew out a long sword from his sleeve and followed Zhao Yun to the trail.

Cao Song saw this and quickly followed Zhao Yun and Gao Shun. Cao Song De and other tribesmen also followed Cao Song's footsteps towards the trail.

Several soldiers brought by Zhao Yun were at the back, covering Cao Song and his tribe as they entered the trail smoothly.

Soon, under the cover of darkness, everyone successfully entered the trail and headed for Yanzhou.

Inside Xuzhou City The Governor's Mansion!

Tao Qian was lying on his couch, next to his new concubine.

"Report to my lord!"

"Something bad is happening!"

Tao Qian, who was immersed in sleep, suddenly heard the voice of a soldier outside the door.

Tao Qian sat up, and his face changed drastically when he heard the soldier's words.

He quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room, not paying attention to the resentful look in his concubine's eyes.

"what is going on?"

Tao Qian walked out of the room and looked at the magic soldier next to him with a very ugly expression.

"Report to my lord!"

"The granary and weapons depot in the city suddenly caught fire at night, and General Cao Bao and his soldiers were putting out the fire."

The soldier looked at Tao Qian, who had an angry face, and said quickly.

Tao Qian's face changed drastically after hearing the soldier's words. The granary and weapons depot are the two most important places in Xuzhou City.

"Let's go and see what's going on!"

Tao Qian walked out of the governor's mansion and rode his war horse to the granary. The soldiers mounted their horses and followed Tao Qian.

In Xuzhou City! The granary!

Cao Bao stood outside the granary with a trace of anxiety on his face.

At this time, the fire in the granary had been put out. , with thick smoke evaporating outwards

"General, the fire in the granary has been put out"

"About 10% of the food and grass were burned by the fire."

After a while, a deputy general who was blackened by smoke came to Cao Bao and told him about the situation of the grain and grass in the granary being burned.

Cao Bao looked better after hearing the deputy general's words.

Fortunately, he was discovered in time and the fire only burned 10% of the fire. of food and grass.

Once more than 50% of the food and grass is burned, the Lord will not let him off lightly.

"General, the fire in the weapons depot has been put out."

"Only some bows and arrows were burned, other weapons were undamaged."

A deputy general rode a horse and came to Cao Bao. He dismounted and looked at Cao Bao and told him about the fire in the weapons depot.

Cao Bao nodded slightly when he heard the deputy general's words. The weapons in the weapons depot were not seriously damaged.

Tonight, these two The fire did not cause much damage to Xuzhou City. The lord could at most give him a light punishment.

"Cao Bao, what on earth is going on?"

Tao Qian hurried to the granary on his horse. He got off the horse and looked at Cao Bao, who was standing aside and frowned.

Cao Bao was startled when he saw Tao Qian coming here, but soon his expression returned to normal.

"Report to my lord!"

"Tonight, thieves set fire to the weapons depot and the granary, trying to burn down all the weapons in the arsenal and the grain in the granary."

"Fortunately, the general discovered it in time and led his soldiers to put out the fire in the weapons depot and granary."

"Don't worry, my lord, there is no loss in the granary and weapons depot."

Cao Bao looked at Tao Qian and tried to minimize the loss in his words.

Tao Qian no longer frowned when he heard Cao Bao's words. As long as the food and weapons are fine.

Looking at the granary still filled with smoke, Tao Qian frowned again. Cao Bao looked at Cao Bao aside and said:

"Have the robbers been caught? Why did they set fire to the granary and weapons depot?"

"Lord, there are only a few thieves"

"These thieves were quick in action and strong in martial arts, and they knocked out the soldiers guarding the weapons depot and granary."

"Throw the torches into the food and weapon depots, and escape from both places while the night is dark."

"The soldiers patrolling around quickly discovered that the granary and weapons depot were on fire, and the patrolling soldiers found the general."

"General Mo took the soldiers on the city wall to these two places to put out the fire."

Cao Bao looked at Tao Qian and told him the reason for the fire in the granary and the weapons depot.

Tao Qian could hear Cao Bao's words and frowned slightly. He felt that there was something wrong with the fire in the weapons depot and the granary. After thinking for a moment, Tao Qian Looking at Cao Bao, he said:"Since we set fire to the granary and weapons depot,"

"How could it be discovered so easily by patrolling soldiers, and only a few people set the fire?"

Cao Bao also felt that Tao Qian's words made sense. He also felt that something was wrong just now.

Several people set fire and were quickly discovered by patrolling soldiers. In this way, they could not burn down the granary and weapons depot.

"The Lord seems to be the thieves who set the fire, deliberately letting the patrolling soldiers discover that the weapons depot and granary were on fire."

Cao Bao thought for a moment and watched Tao Qian express his thoughts.

Tao Qian's face changed drastically when he heard Cao Bao's words. He looked at Cao Bao and said,"Cao Bao, you just said that you would take the soldiers on the city wall to the granary and weapons depot to put out the fire."

"Do you also call the soldiers outside Xuzhou City Gate to return to the city to put out the fire?"

Cao Bao had a trace of confusion on his face when he heard Tao Qian's words. He looked at Tao Qian and said,"The last general heard that the weapons depot and granary were on fire."

"Worried that the soldiers inside the city could not extinguish the two fires, they sent soldiers outside the city and soldiers on the city wall to"

"Bring them all to these two fire places."

Tao Qian's face turned gloomy when he heard Cao Bao's words. He finally understood.

"Cao Bao, you fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, the thief who set fire to the granary and weapons depot."

"Why was he discovered by patrolling soldiers so quickly?"

"I just want you to take the soldiers on the city wall and outside the city to these two places to put out the fire."

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao and said it with anger on his face.

"Plop!"

Cao Bao sat down on the ground, dumbfounded and couldn't believe what Tao Qian said.

"Lord!"

"The city gate has been closed, and it will be useless for the thief who set the fire to trick the general back into the city."

Cao Bao looked at Tao Qian and quickly explained.

In Cao Bao's opinion, the city gate has been closed, and there is no problem for him to lead the soldiers outside the city and on the city wall into the city to put out the fire. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"There is a trail outside the city to Yanzhou. If Cao Song had someone set fire to the city,"

"By tricking the soldiers outside the city walls and gates into putting out the fire, Cao Song and his tribe could head to Yanzhou via the trail."

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao and said Cao Song's name.

"This is impossible. Cao Song and his lord were officials in the same dynasty. Naturally, he had to pass through Xuzhou when going to Yanzhou."

"Even if Cao Song did not pass through Xuzhou and wanted to go to Yanzhou from the trail,"

"Cao Song and his tribe couldn't go to Yanzhou from the trail with their money and supplies."

Cao Bao looked at Tao Qian and quickly explained. He didn't believe that it was Cao Song who sent the tiger away from the mountain tonight.

Maybe some princes were eyeing Xuzhou and wanted to set fire to the granaries and weapons depots to weaken Tao Qian's strength....0

"Visitors go outside Xuzhou City to see if there are any traces of people walking on the trails."

"Yes!"

Tao Qian called a soldier and asked him to go to the trail outside Xuzhou City to see what was going on.

Hearing Tao Qian's words, the soldier rode his horse towards the city gate.

Cao Bao sat on the ground and looked at the direction of the soldiers leaving, feeling in his heart Thinking silently, there must be no trace of walking.

Tao Qian looked at the granary with a gloomy face. He thought that what happened tonight was probably what Cao Song said. He hoped that it was not what he thought. Maybe one of the princes was eyeing Xuzhou and wanted to burn down the granary and the granary. Armory[]

Cao Song and his tribe may be heading to Xuzhou with money and supplies.

The soldiers around him didn't dare to breathe when they saw Tao Qian with a gloomy face.

Cao Bao sat on the ground, still looking decadent.

Everyone is waiting for the soldiers who went outside the city to return. Only when the soldiers return will they know whether anyone has passed through the trail outside the city.

"Report!"

After a while, a soldier riding a war horse came to Tao Qian.

Everyone looked at this man

"Tell me quickly, are there any traces of anyone walking on the trail outside the city?"

Tao Qian looked at the soldier with a trace of urgency on his face.

Cao Bao also stood up at this time and looked at the soldier.

"Report to my lord!"

"There are freshly stepped footprints on the trail outside the city. The villain took a careful look."

"There are at least thirty footprints, all heading towards Yanzhou."

The soldier looked at Tao Qian and quickly said what he saw.

After the soldier's words fell, the area around the granary became quiet.

The soldiers around him shivered and looked at Tao Qian.

"thump!"

Cao Bao couldn't stand still after hearing the soldiers' words, and fell to the ground again.

There were freshly stepped footprints on the trail outside the city, more than thirty people in total.

Cao Bao knew in his heart that these must be the footprints of Cao Song and his tribe.

Only Cao Song. Only the Cao family could have so many people, so they headed to Yanzhou from the trail at night.

Tao Qian's face was very ugly, and his guess just now was right.

Cao Song arranged for people to set fire to the weapons depot and granary in the city, and the purpose was Tune the tiger away from the mountain.

Let the soldiers outside the city wall and city gate enter the city to put out the fire, so that Cao Song and his tribe can go to Yanzhou via the trail.

Tao Qian never imagined that Cao Song actually knew that he wanted to put him under house arrest to threaten Cao Cao.

Cao Cao never expected that Song, an old guy who loves money as much as his life, wanted to go to Yanzhou from the trail. He didn't bring any money or supplies. Tao Qian understood that Cao Song must have passed the trail without bringing any money or supplies.

His plan was the same from beginning to end. What a joke, not only was Cao Song not put under house arrest by himself, but he returned to Yanzhou through the trail.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao with a trace of anger on his face, if Cao Bao hadn't been transferred away from the mountain. 0.5

Even if Cao Song knew that he was going to put him under house arrest, Cao Song wanted to Going to Yanzhou was about to be discovered by his own soldiers.

Cao Bao's face turned pale at this time, and he didn't expect that he was really being transferred away from the mountain.

Cao Song set fire to the city so that he could enter the city with the soldiers from the city wall and outside the city. Put out the fire.

In this way, Cao Song and his tribe can reach Yanzhou safely.

"Cao Bao, you did a great job, Cao Song wants to thank you for saving his life!"

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao, who was sitting on the ground beside him, with a gloomy look on his face.

"My lord, spare your life. I am also worried that the weapons depot and granary will be burned to ashes by the fire."

"In the end, he will be loyal to his lord and will not have the slightest idea of ​​betraying him."

Cao Bao watched Tao Qian kowtow and admit his mistake. Tao Qian's words just now made him feel a hint of murderous intent.

He knew that Tao Qian had murderous intentions towards him, and he let Cao Song and his tribe go. He might really be killed.

Those around him The soldiers trembled when they saw this scene. At this time, Tao Qian was furious and no one dared to intercede for Cao Bao.

"Get up, this matter is not all your fault. You are also worried that the granary and weapons depot will be burned down."

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao who was kneeling on the ground. He really wanted to kill Cao Bao just now. But he still needs Cao Bao now. Cao Song returned to Yanzhou safely.

Not only did he fail to catch Cao Song, but he also offended Cao Song.

Since Cao Song knew that he was going to threaten Cao Cao with house arrest, he would naturally tell Cao Cao about this.

Tao Qian's plan failed and gave Cao Cao the opportunity to attack Xuzhou.

"Thank you Lord for not killing me!"

Cao Bao quickly stood up after kowtowing, looked at Tao Qian and said with a trembling voice:

"Lord, what should we do next?".
