Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 131 The prefect laughs at Gongming
The next day, Li Jun and Zhang Shun went to Liangshan first and met Cao Cao. They were overjoyed: "Now our fishing village has already been built, and some boats have been built. Brothers have nothing to do every day, and I am going to ask my brother to arrange some affairs. To pass the time, if you don't want to call me two today, brother."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I do have an idea. There is a big event that you two can't do. It's just the specific situation. I have to go to Qingzhou with me to meet someone before I can go into details."

The two said bluntly: "Don't talk about Qingzhou, the ends of the earth and the corners of the world will follow my brother."

Cao Cao laughed, took Chao Gai's hand to the table, and said, "Heavenly King, what Monk Zhishen said was a lot of inspiration to Yu Wu."

He took three cups in his hands and put them down from left to right: "Look, king of heaven, in this way, Bianjing is on the left, Liangshan is in the middle, and Qingmi Denglai Sizhou is on the right. , Liangshan is only a disease of ringworm and scabies, if the imperial court crusades, the four prefectures will be the primary target..."

Cao Cao glued some tea, wiped it away, leaving a water stain from the left cup to the right cup, passing under the middle cup, and said with a smile: "At that time, the two states of Qingmi will fight in front, and Liangshan will circle behind, and Wu will be in a row. Among them, there are hundreds of thousands of teachers, and it is difficult for him to win."

Wu Yong was surprised and happy when he saw it, clapped his hands and laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful, this is exactly the plan of the army! But to do this, you must go to Qingmi and Denglai four states quickly, otherwise the imperial soldiers will come, It's going to be bad if the surrounding groups attack them."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Mr. Jia Liang's words are right! Therefore, I will go to Qingzhou first, and have a story with that monk Zhishen. If he is really a hero, you might as well let him come forward. We will work together to rob all four states!" If it is unusable, then another hero will be recruited to do it. In short, our two sides will work together, and with the combat power of the army and horses of the state capital, it should not be difficult to get rid of it quickly."

After hearing this, Chao Gai slapped the table, and the three cups jumped up together, and said boldly: "Brother Wu, what about the joint efforts of both parties, Chao is still the same as before: what is owned by Liangshan is owned by Brother Wu. Since Brother Wu wants to To take those state capitals, Chao will personally lead Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Liu Tang, and Tang Bin to order soldiers and horses, and follow Brother Wu to fight."

Song Jiang hurriedly said from the side: "You two brothers, attacking cities and conquering land, not taking over the mountains as king, is no different from rebellion! You can think about it again!"

Chao Gai frowned, and was about to speak, when Cao Cao stopped him and said, "Young brother Gongming is an old man, but I have my own reasons. Although I occupy the prefectures and counties, I don't want to stand up for myself. I have to teach Song Ting to save face." At first, they were not angry, and they might send troops to conquer. I only need to defeat him several times, so that he knows how powerful he is, but he doesn’t take advantage of the situation to make a big fuss. Then he bribes powerful officials with a lot of money to let him know that I am determined to live in peace and have no intention of being big. , and the society has no worries about its collapse, so he will naturally get by. It must be known that the world today is riddled with holes and wounds, but for the treacherous ministers, if they can be vague, they can ignore it."

Wu Yong laughed and said, "Let's get by, these four words are really subtle. Isn't this the court? Brother Chao Gai, brother Gongming, from Xiaosheng's point of view, this matter is feasible, but the court must implement a strategy to recruit security."

Song Jiang's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.

Cao Cao looked at his words, smiled and said, "There is a big difference between Zhao'an and Zhao'an. For example, if I wait to make a fortune in Liangshan, and the court recruits for security, I must burn the village and go out of the mountain, and even go to Beijing to have an audience, and reward some officials and goods. But we have There are generals in the army, how can he be at ease? He will not drag us around to conquer, or conquer Daliao, or Xixia, or fight against Tubo. Go now, what a man."

After saying these words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but be terrified.

Chao Gai sneered again and again: "If you talk about fighting in battle, my brother is not afraid of anyone. If you talk about spreading bad medicine and manipulating people, this is the specialty of those treacherous officials. How can we compare with others? I always say not to recruit , Only happy in the water, that's why."

Cao Cao said: "Heavenly King, this is a golden word. But then again, if I occupy the four states at one time and another, it will not be so easy for him to recruit peace. I have a foundation. If you come to crusade, you will not be able to defeat me. If the whole country is to be conquered, and the foundation of the country is shaken, it would be better for everyone to muddle through. Wouldn’t it be convenient if the edict came to appease me? Our conditions are also very simple. Brother Chao Gai will be the prefect of Qingzhou, and Brother Gongming will be the prefect of Qingzhou. The prefect of Dengzhou, Mr. Jia Liang, the prefect of Mizhou, brothers Lin Chong, the prefect of Laizhou, hehe, those corrupt officials can do it, so my brother is worse than them?"

Chao Gai laughed out loud, Lin Chong shook his head with a smile, Wu Yong looked excited, but Song Jiang was dumbfounded, he felt that Cao Cao's few words opened up a new world before his eyes, he only wanted to recruit security, why did he think about what would happen after recruiting security?I never thought that one day, I would be able to be a parent of a state!
Shaking his head violently, he shouted strangely: "If you want to attack Qingzhou, you might as well bring Wang Ying, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang with you. These are all from Qingzhou. Sitting here, the cottage is safe!"

Chao Gai nodded and said: "Since that's the case, I'll take the three of them with me, and I will entrust my virtuous brother with all the affairs of the village."

Several people agreed at the moment that Shi Xiu, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Xue Yong should stay on the mountain. When Qin Ming soldiers arrived, they would be led by Chao Gai, with Wu Yong as the military adviser, with a total of 5000 people and horses, and go to Erlong Mountain to meet up.

Cao Cao took the first step and took Niu Gao, Luan Tingyu, Fan Rui, Mu Hong, Shi Qian, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, and a party of eight to Qingzhou to meet Lu Zhishen.

There is a saying that there are two flowers blooming, each showing one branch: not to mention Chao Gai and other soldiers and horses, but Cao Cao, the eight people, came out of the water by themselves, and stayed overnight at Xiaoxing. On the third day, they had rushed to the foot of Erlong Mountain.

Cao Cao was looking up at the mountain, there was already a young man who was lying on the road, and when he saw a few people with extraordinary momentum, he jumped out and said, "Everyone, what are you doing here at Erlong Mountain?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Little brother, Lao Ni went up to the mountain to report, saying that Wu Zhi of Yanggu County, with a few brothers, came to pay a special visit to the two leaders Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi."

The little guy heard that he was looking for the owner of his own village, so he didn't dare to neglect, and said: "In this case, please rest your horses down the mountain, and the younger ones will go back." He flew up the mountain to report.

Not long after this guy left, dozens of people rushed down from the mountain. A big fat monk walked in the front, beaming, and came to the crowd. So fast! The Sajia did not find the wrong person. The Sajia is Lu Zhishen. Because of the flower embroidery on my body, people call me "Hua Monk". These two brothers, one is the "green-faced beast" Yang Zhi, who is a descendant of Tianbo Yang's family. One is Cao Zheng, the 'wielding ghost', and he is my brother Lin Chong's apprentice!"

Cao Cao returned the salute, laughed and said, "Isn't that predestined? Instructor Lin is also my brother. There is also Brother Yang Zhi. Erlang of my family has a younger brother, Yang Zaixing, who joined the army in Dongping Mansion with him. Yang Tian, ​​his ancestor Yang Gong Guangrong, great-grandfather Yang Gong Bangyu, I don’t know if they are your relatives?”

Yang Zhi is a big man with broad shoulders and long arms, with a blue birthmark on his face. Hearing this, he was both surprised and happy: "Ah, Mr. Bangyu and my grandfather Mr. Huaiyu are half-brothers." In this way, his father and I are brothers of the same generation, and he is my cousin! Brother Wu, how is my nephew doing now? How old is he?"

Cao Cao raised his thumb and praised: "Although he is only fourteen or five years old, his Yang family's marksmanship has been mastered, and even Coach Lin is full of praise."

Yang Zhi nodded after hearing this, his expression was both sad and gratified, and he said: "Back then, my great-grandfather Wen Guanggong went south and left behind the lineage of Uncle Bangyu. I didn't expect that there would be a young talent. Brother Wu, how can you Introduce someone for me? His lineage only passed on spear skills, and I happened to pass on the Yang family's saber skills to my nephew."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It's such a great event to have the best of both worlds. I shouldn't wait long. I'll write a book later and pick a capable brother to send to Dongping Mansion. I'll take him to Erlong Mountain to visit my uncle."

Hearing this, Yang Zhi grinned loudly, with nowhere to put his hands and feet in joy.Cao Cao secretly looked into his eyes, nodded and said, "He is also a straightforward man."

Seeing that Yang Zhi still wanted to ask about Yang Zaixing's situation, Lu Zhishen said with a chuckle: "My silly brother, I heard that there are still relatives in this world, so I am very happy. Brother Yang, why are you pestering Brother Wu here? I have something to tell you." Say it."

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Yes, but I was so happy and stupid."

Now when everyone went up the mountain, the guests and hosts were seated. Cao Cao introduced his brothers one by one. Lu Zhishen couldn't help but said, "With so many heroes following, Brother Wu must be no ordinary person. It seems that what the Sa family said is right."

Seeing that he got to the point, Cao Cao smiled slightly, and said calmly: "To tell you the truth, brother Wu came here for what brother said. Ming people don't speak in secret, and in Wu's opinion, brother came to this unaccompanied Qingzhou on purpose. Luocao, it must have been planned long ago, and wants to occupy these states."

Lu Zhishen heard the words, opened his eyes wide, nodded and said: "As expected of 'Wu Mengde', he saw through the heart of the Sa family. Not bad! When the Sa family escaped from Tokyo, they only felt that the world was hopeless and all living beings were suffering. Why not occupy a place where there are no dog officials and no evil officials, men farming and women weaving, so that people in this world can live like some people, so I came to Qingzhou specially to do something."

Seeing his expression, Cao Cao knew that it was not a gesture, but that he really thought so, and he couldn't help but respect him: "Brother has a good eye, the green is like a door, and the door is like a room. The two doors are closed, and the north, south, and south sides are surrounded by the sea. The profit of fish and salt can also be traded in sea trade, which was the foundation of Qi Huan's hegemony in the past! If you retreat, you can close your door and guard yourself, and you can work in the paradise of Taoyuan;

Hearing this, Li Jun remembered Jiang Jing's words at the time, and his heart pounded. He and Zhang Shun looked at each other, and both could see the horror and ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhishen shook his fat head and said: "The Sa family didn't think so much, but I read the map under the account of Mr. Xiaozhong's manager in the past, and I think this place is good. There are three seas and one side is sealed, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. .”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Since there is such a plan, why don't senior brothers do it themselves?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhishen rolled his eyes, his fat body collapsed, and he said helplessly, "It is extremely rare for the Sa family to think of Erzhou as their gate and Erzhou as their house. After occupying Erlong Mountain, they also thought of It's too much, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that things are messy and my head is like a big fight. Speaking of which, if the Sajia really knew how to implement it, they wouldn't just be a commissioner when they were in the Western Army. And..."

He suddenly sat up straight again, and said solemnly: "The Sa family has also heard about the people in the four states, and the others are nothing, but there is a very powerful person in Dengzhou. The Sa family thinks that they are absolutely no match for this person."

"Oh?" Cao Cao said with a faint smile, "I don't know which expert it is?"

Lu Zhishen revealed a dignified expression: "It's Dengzhou Tongju, Zongze!"

"Zong Ze?" Cao Cao showed a puzzled look.

There are different teachings: the half-life obsession is recruiting security, and fierce generals and soldiers are disasters.A few words break away the barriers of knowledge and vision, and a few words recast values.
