Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 13

Cao Cao took a swig of the wine and showed a reminiscence look: "It happened in Chuping years. I was the governor of Dongjun. At that time, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army ravaged Shandong. The eunuch Zhu Jun recommended me to suppress the rebellion, so the Yellow Turban was broken. I recruited more than soldiers, including more than a million men and women from thieves, and I selected the elite among them to form a Qingzhou army, and the imperial court named me General Zhendong."

He looked at Wu Song and smiled: "With an army but no generals, it is like a snake without a head. At that time, my generals were not enough, so I recruited talents everywhere. One day, Xiahou Dun invited a big man to see him and said that he was hunting in the mountains. When I saw this big man chasing a tiger across the stream, I invited him to recommend him to me. I asked his name, and he said that his name was Dian Wei."

As he said that, Cao Cao pointed at Wu Song and said, "Dian Wei looks majestic, tall and burly, just like Erlang out of a mold! Using two iron halberds, weighing eighty catties, dancing like flying, no one in the whole army can defeat them, and With more than a dozen short halberds, they fly out to kill people, without fail! My opponent Liu Xuande, Guan Zhang and Zhao are all enemies under his command, and he may not be able to defeat General Dianwei."

Everyone cheered and said: "Duan is a hero!"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "In the previous life, he chased the tiger across the ravine, and in this life he killed the tiger with his bare hands. Regardless of his past life or present life, Wu Erlang has always been the enemy of the tiger."

Everyone laughed, and Wu Song murmured to himself: "It turns out that in my previous life, I was actually a general under my brother's tent."

Cao Cao said: "In the battle at Puyang against Lu Bu, I was trapped by an ambush and had no way of getting out. It was Dian Wei who entered the siege and rescued me. After several years of conquest, he was invincible in every battle. He made a lot of contributions. It's a pity that year I was in Wancheng to conquer Zhangxiu. This person first surrendered and then rebelled. He attacked our camp at night. Because he was afraid of Dianwei Wudi, he specially invited him to drink. …Ugh."

Thinking of Dian Wei's loyalty and bravery in the past, Cao Cao couldn't help but burst into tears even after years of separation, and said sadly: "It was night, the enemy attacked unexpectedly, Dian Wei said to me: 'My lord, go, wait for me to meet the enemy! 'He couldn't find the halberd he was used to, and the armor was also missing, so he drew out his waist knife and killed more than enemy soldiers..."

"...The blade is damaged and cannot be reused. The enemy's gun array is dense like a row of reeds. Dian Wei defends the gate of the camp and does not retreat. Death in vain!'"

"My heart is like a knife, but the battle is ruthless. My nephew Cao Anmin led my horse and ran away..."

At this point, Cao Cao burst into tears and struggled to breathe. He said to himself: "...Later, I heard that Lord Dian captured two enemy soldiers, held them upside down as a sledgehammer, and killed dozens of people in a row. The group of thieves dare not enter. , Shoot it with random arrows, Dian Jun..."

"...Blood flowed all over the ground until he died. Judas opened his eyes and stood at the gate of the camp. There were tens of thousands of enemy troops, and no one dared to enter the gate..."

Cao Cao's words were shocking, and everyone thought about him and his situation, and they all shed tears generously. Liu Tang and Ruan Xiaoqi slashed the ground with their knives, and cried out in tears: "The life and death of a man is heroic, and this awe-inspiring body is not in vain!"

Cao Cao said again: "Thanks to Dianwei blocking the door, I was able to escape from the back door. My nephew Anmin followed me on foot, and I encountered an ambush on the road. I was hit by an arrow in my right arm, and my horse was also hit by three arrows. When I walked to the river, the bandits chased me. Anmin Turning around and fighting hard, I was chopped into meat. I rode my horse across the river and came ashore. I was shot in the eye of the horse by a cold arrow. Fortunately, my eldest son Cao Ang came and gave up the horse, so I escaped from the siege. shoot..."

When Cao Cao talked about the emotional part, he took Wu Song's hand, and tears fell on his arm: "I have fought all my life, and I have regarded life and death as nothing. But if there are no Dian Wei, An Min, A Ang and others, how can there be me?" Destiny? Anmin and A'ang are close relatives, but Dianwei is not of my blood. Fortunately, God is pitiful to see that after a thousand years, I will be born as flesh and blood brothers with you. When you were young, you were so aggressive and courageous. Thinking about it now, I want to repay your life-saving debt from your previous life."

Wu Song thought of his cowardly short brother, who lived frugally to support himself when he was a child, and even provided him with a teacher to learn martial arts, and because he had been implicated a lot, his true feelings flowed for a while, and he fell down in tears and said: "It turns out that my brother and I have a very close relationship." Only in this life, if it wasn’t for my elder brother’s instruction, how would Wu Er know about the previous situation? In this life, I should follow my elder brother’s footsteps, so that my brother’s loyalty will be complete.”

Everyone in Liangshan applauded when they saw it, and they all said: "If it wasn't for such a brother, how could he be worthy of this brother? If it wasn't for this brother, how could he be worthy of such an elder brother? We know that he is a pair of brothers, and he will definitely do extraordinary things in this life."

So one after another persuaded them to drink, each of them poured out their guts. After drinking two jars of wine, they took another two jars. Everyone was very drunk, spread a few quilts on the spot, and fell asleep all over the floor.

The next day, Pan Jinlian made porridge and rice, and woke everyone up to eat. Chao Gai said goodbye: "After all, my brother and I are not good people, and you two are officials, so it is inconvenient to get together for a long time. When the time comes, you might as well come to Liangshanbo to visit us, and have a drink when the time comes."

Cao Cao immediately agreed, and took out a plate of gold and silver as a gift. Where would Chao Gai wait for him?Sworn to refuse.Cao Cao and Wu Song sent the six of them ten miles away from the county seat before returning them.

On the way back, Wu Song said: "Brother, I have also acquired a skill in these years. I can use swords, guns and sticks, but I have never chosen a real weapon. From what you said last night, I should use double halberds. "

Cao Cao nodded: "I have also observed and speculated these days. Now the world seems to be peaceful, but in fact, the disaster of overturning is already at hand. It's just that the Song Dynasty's court is incompetent and sycophantic, and it turns a blind eye. I am a dignified man, how can I Can you let the Hulu bully you? Maybe one day, I will ask my brother to come forward and open up a new world for the Han people in the world. Brother, your martial arts will be of great use in the future. It is best to order the equipment as soon as possible."

So the two went to the iron shop where they bought swords together, and found a pen and paper. Cao Cao drew the shapes of the Dianwei Shuanghalberd and the small halberd, and asked the blacksmith to select the best quality iron to make them carefully. Forty catties, twelve small halberds, one and a half catties each, paid 20 taels of silver, and agreed to pick them up on the th.

Since then, Cao Cao took Wu Song to the yamen's servants every day, and when he had nothing to do, he used literature and martial arts to build up his strength.

Sometimes when Wu Song asked about military affairs, Cao Cao would tell in detail about his previous life experience and the way of leading the army in battle. How knowledgeable and broad-minded is he?After getting along for a long time, Wu Song's admiration increased day by day, and his own wisdom was also greatly enlightened.

Half a month later, Wu Song went to the blacksmith's shop to retrieve the large and small iron halberds. Wu Song was so excited that he found no one to perform them once. One by one I came up with it out of thin air, but it seemed like it would be, and it was more powerful than other weapons he used. I became more and more convinced that my previous life was a matter of Dianwei, and I always carried a eucalyptus when I ate and slept. .

As a result, the reputation of the two brothers spread far and wide. Because of his elder brother's nickname "Wu Mengde" and the fact that he wields double halberds, he soon got the nickname "Huo Dian Wei".

Cao Cao refused to sit still, and bought several stores one after another. Now he has become famous, and wherever he goes, heroes from the north and south are willing to sell some favors. Therefore, the source of goods is very smooth, and he hired a few experienced people to manage the stores. , because the goods are good, the price is reasonable, and he is willing to share the profits with others, the business soon flourished, and people from the surrounding counties and even the prefectural city came to take his goods, and the family became more and more prosperous.

When the business was on the right track, Cao Cao let go and stopped asking any more questions. He bought two good horses from Beidi at a high price. One yellow horse was named Feidian, and the other dark horse was named Lve Ying. Wu Song was overjoyed in riding and fighting, and the days went by more and more.

So half a year passed in a hurry, on this day, the county magistrate suddenly called the two brothers to discuss matters.
