The next day, Qin Shuhuang left Beidi Royal City with part of the envoy team and escorting soldiers.

The Eagle King led Beidi officials to send Qin Shuhuang ten miles away from the royal city before turning around.

Without General Liu, it's spring and the flowers are blooming again. The journey from Beidi Royal City back to Xiagong City will definitely be smooth.

As soon as something happened to the Wolf King, the two thousand soldiers and horses sent by the Cao family to protect Qin Shuhuang went to protect Cao Miao and her son.

Cao Miao left the royal city under the escort of two hundred Cao family veterans, and then reunited with about [-] Cao family soldiers and fled to Xiagong City together.

Cao Miao was frightened all the way back to Xia Gongcheng. She did not dare to stop at all.

He also sent someone to quickly deliver the news of the failure of the Wolf King's Palace to the Cao family.

Even so, she still encountered variables that she had not thought of.

Not far from Xiagong City, what she encountered was not the Cao family’s team coming to pick her up, but the Xu family’s army!
Xu Zizhang led people to Cao Miao. Cao Miao looked at the thousand Xu family troops behind Xu Zizhang, and suddenly frowned tightly.

Xu Zizhang said calmly: "Since I, the general, have met Miss Cao here, please ask Miss Cao to follow me back to Xiagong City."

How could Cao Miao be willing to submit?

Although it has long been rumored in Xia Gongcheng that Xu Zizhang is like a god in his military skills, that happened many years ago. Who knows what is going on now.

Moreover, she brought two thousand Cao's troops with her, while Xu Zizhang only had one thousand Xu's troops behind her.

Could it be that their Cao Jiajun was worse than Xu Jiajun?
joke!

Even if it's a little bit close, you can't beat two against one!
"If you want to capture me, you must first defeat the Cao Jiajun behind me!" As soon as Cao Miao finished speaking, he raised his right hand and waved, and the Cao Jiajun behind him rushed towards the Xu Jiajun led by Xu Zizhang.

The number of Cao Jiajun is twice that of Xu Jiajun, but once they fight, they can tell whether they are strong or weak at a glance.

It was even a draw at the beginning, but as time went by, Cao Jiajun was no match at all.

A team of three from the Xu Jiajun could even deal with a team of ten from the Cao Jiajun.

The soldiers of the Cao family originally only had [-] elite soldiers, and the rest were just scraps. Once they were at a disadvantage, they were immediately defeated.

Just a quarter of an hour into the fight, Cao's army had already begun to flee.

Cao Miao, who was riding on the horse, suddenly looked extremely ugly. Xu Zizhang led more than a dozen of his own soldiers and said to Cao Miao with a stern face: "Miss Cao should be captured as soon as possible. If we continue to fight, it will just be a waste of my Xia Gongcheng's troops."

The victory was already decided, and he would only suffer losses if he continued to fight hard. Cao Miao was not stupid, so he stopped the Cao family's army and surrendered immediately.

In her opinion, Xu Zizhang is strong, but that may not be the case when he returns to Xiagong City.

She should save herself and her son first, and then let her parents find a way to replace her and her son from the Xu family after they return.

At this time, it would be infinitely better for her and her son to fall into the hands of General Xu than to fall into the hands of the Beidi nobles.

General Xu asked his personal guards to capture Cao Miao's mother and son, and escorted 2000 Cao's troops back to Xiagong City.

In the Cao Mansion in Xiagong City, the Cao family and his wife were sitting on pins and needles in their room.

Cao Jian walked around restlessly, and finally waited until the deputy general came back to report.

He asked urgently: "What happened? Miao'er is back?"

The deputy general cupped his hands and said: "Back to general, the eldest lady was captured by Xu Zizhang's men... she just entered the city at this moment."

Cao Jian was startled and sighed helplessly. He originally had a glimmer of hope. At least there were two thousand Cao family troops around his daughter. Now that he got this news, all hope was cut off in an instant.

Cao Jian smiled bitterly. He never thought that these things would happen in the past few days.

After receiving the news that Qin Shuhuang and his party, sent back by Cao Miao, were trapped in the Eagle King's courtyard and contracted the plague, the Wolf King made a prompt decision to prepare for a palace coup, and he thought about it all night.

At dawn, he finally made up his mind to destroy the Xu family.

Over the years, after General Xu returned to Beijing, the Xu family's power became weaker and weaker due to his suppression.In the entire Xia Gong City, the Cao family accounts for [-]% of the power, while the Xu family only has [-]% left.

Keeping the Xu family was just a fig leaf for the regent.

If the Wolf King's Palace is successful this time, Beidi will be under the control of the Wolf King, and the status of her daughter and grandson will become higher.

Qin Shuhuang didn't know life or death, so he couldn't rely on him at all.

Only by taking Xiagong City and secretly surrendering to the Wolf King at this time can the Cao family take over the trade with Beidi, have the bargaining chip to negotiate with the regent, and continue to grow and develop!
If this is the case, the Xu family will be a nuisance in the eyes of the Cao family.

It would be better to eliminate them in the future than to annihilate them at this unexpected time!
Cao Jian knew that Xu Zizhang was extraordinary, and he had a thousand elite soldiers whom he personally trained.

Cao Jian did not dare to be careless, so he personally planned and planned to use his numbers to kill Xu Zizhang.

No matter how powerful he is, Xu Zizhang can be exhausted in a wheel battle.

Having made up his mind, Cao Jian made arrangements immediately.

He personally led people to fight against Xu Zizhang.

I originally thought that the Cao family could take down the Xu family even if they suffered some losses.

The actual situation is also the same.

But who would have thought that when the Xu family army could no longer resist, reinforcements would appear!
The fighting strength of the reinforcements was no less than that of Xu Zizhang's thousand elite soldiers. The 3000 reinforcements caught the Cao family's army by surprise, and then the Cao family's army was defeated like a mountain...

When he and his sons were escorted to Xu Zizhang, he realized that the reinforcements were Prince Du Qinglin of Beijing!

The Du family controlled [-]% of Dawu's troops. Although the Du family was not born to Mrs. Rongguo, he was loyal to Mrs. Rongguo.

He entered the military training when he was early ten years old. After more than ten years of training in the army, he is now a rare general among the younger generation in the army.

The fiancée of Prince Du is the daughter of the Xu family, and Mrs. Rongguo is the aunt of the eldest princess Qin Shuhuang...

It is useless for Cao Jian to regret now.

Qin Shuhuang must have arranged this before leaving Xia Gongcheng. His Cao family had long been plotted by the eldest princess.

Otherwise, how could Prince Du suddenly appear in Xiagong City when he was far away in the suburbs of Beijing!
After a bad move, Cao Jian thought that the Cao family would be destroyed in Xia Gong City, but he didn't know that Du Shizi and Xu Zizhang did not kill his family.

Not only that, but they also sent their family back to the Cao Mansion in the inner city of Xia Gong City.

But at this time, the Xia Gongcheng border troops were already under the control of the Xu family and Prince Du.

The lieutenant hesitated what he wanted to say.

Cao Jian frowned, "Just say what you want!"

The deputy general then said: "General, General Xu asked you to go to Xu Mansion."

Cao Jian:......

"Understood, I'll be there in a while."

The lieutenant retired.

Cao Jian straightened his clothes and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to go out, his old wife grabbed his arm and said, "General, don't go. What if Xu Zizhang wants to do something bad to you?"

Cao Jian turned around and patted the back of Mrs. Cao's hand, "Miao'er is still in Xu Zizhang's hands. I have to go. At worst, I will use my old life to exchange for Miao'er's return."

Mrs. Cao's tears fell straight down, "Miao'er has always said that you don't love her. In my opinion, the general's most beloved child is Miao'er."

Cao Jian pursed his lips, pulled off Mrs. Cao's hand holding his arm, and left quickly.

Cao Miao didn't expect to see her father in Xu's mansion... (End of chapter)
