Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 102: Unexpected "Harvest", Ying Shao Delivered It to the Door

Zhang Kai's attack played into Cao Yan's hands!

"Zhonglang, I'll be back soon!" Zhao Yun saluted with his hands clasped together, his heroic spirit could not be hidden under the collar of his coarse cloth shorts.

After saying that, he picked up his spear and strode out the door.

Zhang Kai rode atop a tall horse, looking majestic and imposing. He raised his long sword and shouted, "Brothers, charge in and kill them all! The wealth and women inside are yours to take!"

"kill!"

"Hahaha! We're going to get rich!"

"Don't leave any one alive, kill them all!"

Zhang Kai and the two hundred cavalrymen behind him pounced on the camp like hungry wolves.

But he had no idea that this seemingly weak convoy had actually already laid a tight net, waiting for him to fall into it.

Zhang Kai took the lead and rushed into the camp. He swung his long sword and instantly chopped down two servants who had no time to escape.

At this moment, a figure dressed in rough servant's clothes suddenly jumped out from the darkness and rushed towards Zhang Kai's horse "ignoring his own life".

When Zhang Kai saw this scene, a sinister smile appeared on his lips, and his heart was full of disdain.

He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, charged forward, and chopped down the man on the head with the long sword in his hand, carrying a strong wind.

He thought that with his own strength, coupled with the powerful impact brought by the charging warhorse, how could a mere servant withstand this blow?
However, something strange happened!

At the moment when the long sword touched the opponent's spear, Zhang Kai felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, and then half of his body was numb from the shock.

There was a loud "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the man actually managed to withstand his powerful and heavy sword attack!

"Who is this monster?!" Zhang Kai was shocked and horrified.

He looked carefully,
Good guy!
Isn’t this the “servant” who follows Cao Yan all day long?

Zhang Kai's pupils suddenly shrank, and before he could react, the opponent's spear had already darted out like a poisonous snake, accurately cutting the flesh on his thigh.

The shot scared Zhang Kai so much that he almost died. He quickly reined in his horse, turned around, and fled in panic.

Zhang Kai looked around again and saw several of his own cavalrymen being stabbed off their horses.

It was only at this moment that he finally realized, "Damn it, I've fallen into a trap! Cao Yan was prepared!"

"kill!!"

Just at this moment, a burst of orderly and rapid horse hoofbeats and deafening shouts of killing suddenly came from the distance.

This is the Flying Dragon Cavalry led by Xiahou Lan, they have arrived!

Three thousand well-trained elite cavalrymen were like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes when dealing with Zhang Kai's mere two hundred men.

Zhang Kai's cavalry was killed in pieces in an instant under the fierce charge of the Flying Dragon Cavalry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Kai turned his horse around and fled desperately.

Seeing this, Xiahou Lan shouted, "Don't let this villain get away!" Then he spurred his horse to chase him.

Zhao Yun shouted, "Qingyuan, don't chase!"

Xiahou Lan pulled the reins, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun came up to him and explained in a low voice, "The Zhonglang specifically instructed us to let him go."

Xia Houlan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly chuckled and said, "Are you trying to play the long game and catch a big fish?"

Zhao Yun said nothing, but nodded slightly. At this time, Cao Yan walked out of the temple slowly, followed by Dian Wei, who looked unwilling.

When the two of them approached, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan heard Dian Wei muttering, "We just killed two people and then we dispersed. It's not satisfying, it's really not satisfying..."

Cao Yan said to Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan, "Send someone to spread the news immediately. Say that Ying Shao colluded with Tao Qian and ordered Zhang Kai to rob and kill the caravan. Cao Erlang was killed."

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan looked at each other, understood what he meant, and then took the order and left.

At this time, a team of 2,000 people from Taishan County Magistrate Ying Shao had arrived in Hua County!
The leader was none other than the county magistrate Ying Shao himself.

It turned out that Ying Shao had previously received a secret letter from Yuan Shao.

The letter asked him to intercept the convoy when Old Master Cao passed through Taishan County, and then frame the incident on Tao Qian of Xuzhou, intending to provoke a war between the two families.

Moreover, the letter was signed by someone Ying Shao was very familiar with, Chen Gong!
Chen Gong had secretly won over a group of nobles and gentry in Yanzhou who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and was determined to create an opportunity for Lu Bu to take control of Yanzhou.

Chen Gong has already done the work on Yuan Shao's side.

After taking control of Yanzhou, Lu Bu only wanted Dongping, Jibei and Taishan Commandery, and then he captured Xuzhou and went south to Jiangdong, working together with Yuan Shao to conquer the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao was moved by Chen Gong's plan, so he submitted a memorial to the court, recommending Lu Bu as the governor of Yanzhou.

At the same time, he ordered Chen Gong to secretly contact Ying Shao, the governor of Mount Tai, and asked him to kill Old Master Cao halfway.

Ying Shao came from a prominent family in Runan and had a close relationship with the Yuan family. Naturally, he welcomed Yuan Shao's people to control Yanzhou.

Ying Shao was very happy when he learned that Chen Gong had also joined Yuan Shao.

Therefore, he accepted the task assigned to him by Chen Gong without hesitation.

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhao Yun hurried to Cao Yan's side and reported: "Lieutenant General, an army of one to two thousand men is approaching our army!"

"Can you find out who leads the army?" Cao Yan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"They haven't raised any flags, but judging by the armor and weapons of the soldiers, they must be soldiers from the imperial court."

"No flags? Could it be another group coming to kill Dad?" Cao Yan whispered to himself, "Could it be Tao Qian's group? Or maybe... Ying Shao?"

Thinking of this, Cao Yan said to Zhao Yun: "Brothers, hide and see what that team is planning to do."

"Yes!" Zhao Yun took the order and quickly made arrangements.

Let’s look at Ying Shao again.

He led his army and searched all the way, and finally found Old Master Cao's convoy.

He made a prompt decision, waved his hand, and ordered: "Kill, leave no one alive!"

The Cao family finally survived the long night and waited for dawn, but they saw an army rushing towards them with great momentum. They were immediately frightened and cried out in pain.

Seeing that they were indeed here to kill Old Master Cao again, Zhao Yun no longer hesitated. He led the cavalry out of the nearby woods and charged towards Ying Shao's troops.

Cao Laosan's face was pale, his body was trembling, and he asked Cao Song in a trembling voice: "Just when one group arrived, another group came! Dad, what should we do?!"

Although Cao Song was a little panicked in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

With his eyes fixed on the menacingly approaching team, Cao Song said in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking? Lao Liu has his own plan for dealing with it."

Ying Shao originally thought that intercepting a civilian convoy was a trivial matter and could be accomplished easily.

But he never expected that when he led his soldiers to rush to the front of the convoy, he encountered Cao Cao's most elite Flying Dragon Cavalry!
How could Ying Shao, a scholar, be a match for Zhao Yun and others who were experienced in the battlefield?
After just one encounter, Ying Shao was captured alive by Zhao Yun.

When the rest of the Taishan soldiers saw their commander being captured, their morale suddenly became chaotic, and some died or surrendered, making them completely vulnerable.
