Chapter 140

Cao Cao glanced at Zong Yun'er lightly.

This girl has already overturned three pots of water. Although she didn't burn anyone, she extinguished the charcoal twice.

He talked a lot today, and his throat was really smoky.

when!The bottle was overturned again.

Can't you make tea for your guests?Cao Cao glanced at Zong Ze, the old man looked expectantly, waiting for him to explain the reason, obviously not thirsty.

That's it.

Cao Cao swallowed, and forced a smile: "Zong Tongpan, you are an experienced person. To be honest, although I am a leader, I can communicate with many heroes in Shandong and Hebei. As far as I know, This Monk Hua has a lot of ambition!"

Zongze frowned into a Sichuan character, and said sadly: "The old man once served as a county magistrate in Longyou, Quzhou. The people there believed in cults, and Zhejiang and Zhejiang called it Muniism, Huainan called it Eryingzi, and Jiangdong called it The four fruits are called Vajra Chan in Jiangxi, and Mingjiao and Jiedizhai in Fujian. Although they have different names, they are related to each other. The believers are white-clothed and black-hatted. Even in the army and the yamen, there is no lack of followers, just like a sore under the skin, although it has not flared up, it will take shape, this monk Hua, is he also such a monster?"

good taste!Cao Cao has seen Fang La's heroes before, and the eight words "a sore under the skin will become a success" are accurate in exposition, which is enough to show that Zong Ze has great foresight.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Although he is a monk, he usually drinks and eats meat. He is not a member of a cult, but he deeply feels that the government is corrupt and the world is difficult. He wants to teach the people in the four prefectures of Qinglai, Dengmi and other places to live and work in peace."

Having said that, Zong Yun'er miraculously boiled tea, and was about to pour it into tea bowls, when a big hand reached out, grabbed the teapot, smashed it into pieces, and the tea flowed all over the floor.

Cao Cao sighed in disappointment, Luan Tingyu and others were startled by the noise, and they all rushed to the door to see.

However, Zong Ze's face was livid and his body was trembling slightly. He was obviously extremely angry: "Occupy the four states! Thanks to him daring to think! If it is said that he occupies the mountain as king, he is still forced by the world, and his feelings are pitiful. But once he occupies The state capital, raising the people and training the army, isn't it a flagrant rebellion! He also had a salary from the Song Dynasty, how could he do such an act of having no king and no father!"

Zongze has served as county magistrate in Laizhou Ye County and Jiaoshui County, and now he is a general judge in Dengzhou. How can he not know geography?If this piece of land is really occupied by someone with a heart, with Yimeng Mountain as the gateway, it can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.With the current strength of the imperial court, if the frontier army is not moved, it will be difficult to get it back. Even if the frontier army is moved, it is between two choices.

Moreover, this place is not too far from the Liao Kingdom, so if you are in a hurry, the rebels are so ruthless that they simply surrender to the Liao Kingdom, and it will be a catastrophe immediately.

Like an angry tiger, Zong Ze walked around the signing room a few times, stopped and shouted: "The Great Song Dynasty is our mother country, even if there is something wrong, we should repair it instead of destroying it! A treacherous official, who can be assassinated and killed, can be overthrown? For example, the old man has been in the officialdom for decades, and the eight words of serving as an official to benefit one party are never forgotten."

Cao Cao observed his words and looks, his heart grew cold, and he realized that Zongze's heart was as hard as stone, and there was absolutely no room for speech.

Standing up, he smiled slightly and said, "Being an official will benefit one party. Hehe, Mr. Zong is indeed an upright and capable official, but I don't know how long the blessings he has created will last after he leaves office?"

Zong Ze was dumb for a moment, and then his eyes became alert.

Cao Cao also knew that this sentence was a bit ambiguous, but he didn't care much about it. He smiled and said: "I saw you today, and I realized that there are still loyal and daring people in the world. Wu is very pleased. But in Wu's opinion, What Monk Hua thinks and thinks may not be inferior to the lower vehicle. He and Mr. are both following the Dao, the only difference is their standpoint. Mr. Hua is from the standpoint of the Song people, but Monk Hua is from the standpoint of the Han people. It’s even just a person’s standpoint. There’s no distinction between high and low standpoints, and it depends on your own means. As for me, today’s exhaustion is over, so I’ll go back here.”

After saying that, he bowed to the ground, got up after a long time, and went out.

The respect that was not given to Zhou Tong, he gave it to Zong Ze after all.

In Cao Cao's heart, he always admires the doers more.

Zong Ze was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Cao Cao stopped, turned around, and looked calm.

Zong Ze looked him up and down, his eyes sharp: "You have such an aura that no one else can possess. Are you really Wu Zhi, the capital of Yanggu?"

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and took out his waist card to display.

But Zongze shook his head, his eyes became brighter, and he was very imposing: "Maybe it's Dutou, but it's not just Dutou! The old man might as well ask clearly: Monk Hua and you, who is the main one?"

Sure enough, you saw it, Cao Cao secretly said.

There was seven points of calm on his face, two points of surprise, and an amused expression, as if he didn't expect the other party to think so: "Mr. Zong... I'm afraid I misunderstood. My Wu family's business is not small. Four states Who will take charge of this place is a big deal for me, and I have to make plans in advance. I have already met Monk Hua, and he is a real man. If there is no Mr. Dengzhou, I will make a deal with him first. Relationship. But I met Mr. today, and I still need to think about whether to have this relationship."

I am just a businessman. If there is no you Zongze, I am optimistic that Monk Hua can take this place, so I will make friends in advance. But with you Zongze, I will come to see for myself whether you can stop Monk Hua.Now it seems that there is still hope.

Zong Ze blinked, but it was only for business?However, the bustling world is all for profit, and it seems to be right.

Apologetically, he gave a wry smile: "I accidentally knocked over the tea, but it's not easy to see off the guests. Wudutou, excuse me if I take the liberty to say one more thing: You are still the capital of the imperial court after all."

Cao Cao smiled and nodded: "Naturally, I have never forgotten it. Otherwise, why should I only think about business? Farewell!"

Zong Yun'er didn't understand why the situation changed suddenly, and she was stunned. Seeing that Cao Cao was about to leave, she subconsciously wanted to send it off, but was stopped by Zong Ze.

The five of Cao Cao kept walking, they went straight to the backyard and went to the door. When they arrived at the back door of the mansion, Shi Xiu cheerfully greeted them outside the door.

The six of them didn't speak, and went straight to a restaurant. Cao Cao reined in the horse, changed the waiter and led him to the corridor, asked for a private room, drank half a pot of tea first, then asked for wine and food, and waited for the wine and food Qi Qi, chased Xiao Er away, closed the door, and chatted in a low voice while eating and drinking.

Cao Cao first asked Shi Xiu how things were going, and Shi Xiu smiled and said, "I have met an interesting friend. He is a prisoner in the prison. His surname is Le Minghe. I am from Jinling Jiankang, and he is from Maozhou. Half a fellow, this man is clever and loyal, he heard that I was doing things for my elder brother, and refused to accept my money even to the death. Another coincidence is that Sun Li, brother Luan's younger brother, is his brother-in-law."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It's interesting, but it's useful for other purposes. Just now I chatted with Zong Ze for a long time. Although he is old, he is a man with great foresight and extraordinary means. He is also popular. Senior Brother Lu is cautious." He is very reasonable. This man is loyal to the imperial court. When he heard that Senior Brother Lu was going to occupy the four states, he was furious. It can be seen that he is stubborn. Now it is luck, most of the soldiers in the city were brought out by Sun Li. , directly broke the city, captured Zongze, and handed it over to Brother Lu to deal with."

Luan Tingyu said: "My brother must have made arrangements."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Although I have deceived that old man for a while, at most tomorrow, he will wake up. But the enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. Let's see what methods he can use to mend the sky."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Niu Gao and I went out of the city in the starry night to meet Qin Ming. First, we went to Dengyun Mountain to hide, and wait for the follow-up people to arrive."

"Teacher Luan, the four of you, don't stay in a big shop. Let Brother Mu Hong lead you to look for a private gambling place, pretend to gamble, and have the right to settle down. When my team is all together, if he doesn't guard against it, I will drive straight in." , Naturally everything will be fine, if he is prepared, I will openly attack his west gate, but secretly lead people to ambush him outside the east gate, wait for me to attack the city, Shi Xiu and Zhou Tong will contact Lehe, rescue the uncle and nephew of the Zou family, release the prisoner, and let him go A commotion broke out in the big prison, Teacher Luan and Mu Hong went to the east gate to set fire to kill people, and they cooperated with each other to take his city."

Everyone was overjoyed and said, "Such an arrangement is invincible."

At the moment, everyone was hungry and full, and went to work separately.

On the other side, at Zongze's home, the old man was staring at the candlelight in a daze.

Zong Yun'er's mouth was dry. At the request of her ancestor, she had repeatedly told the whole story of how she met Cao Cao and others three or five times. Many details that she didn't care about before were reminded of Zong Ze's repeated inspiration.

It's just that the girl's eyes are a little confused. I don't know why Cao Cao and others, who were also very interesting in catching bandits before, suddenly became villains.

Zong Ze's eyes dimmed, and he said slowly: "So when they were helping you catch Er Zou, those fellows shouted 'Wu Mengde, you don't care about the loyalty of the world.' Isn't it wrong?"

Zong Yuner nodded.

"Why did that person say that? It must be that they had a good conversation before. When you appeared and saw that you were my granddaughter, you took advantage of the opportunity to take down that strong man to please you so that you could see me!" Zong Ze became more and more angry. He slapped his thigh and scolded: "This old man deserves it! What a shameless person, he bullied me so much! What kind of monk Hua is not a chess piece, but a cover, whoever has the heart of disobedience, that is People too!"

Zong Yun'er blinked in confusion: "Ancestor, you...don't wrong a good man."

Zong Ze rolled his eyes angrily: "Idiot, don't you understand? They intend to rebel, but they are afraid that the old man is in Dengzhou, so they came to check the facts. Sun Li was arrested and the city was empty. Their idea was to Let's see how good the old man is. If he is an old trash, then he will be fine. If he really has some skills, then he will find a way to persuade the old man to surrender. If he refuses to surrender, he will take advantage of the situation and eradicate him! Why do you think he ran into Dengyun Mountain to make friends with those robbers? Around the state city, it is the place where it is easiest to hide the army! This person must bring soldiers and horses behind him."

Zong Yun'er was terrified when she heard it, and she couldn't believe it: "Zu Weng, but when did they ask you if you would surrender?"

Zong Ze didn't bother to explain any more, so he just shouted: "There's going to be a big chaos, so I'm going to stay at home, my grandfather is going to see the magistrate! Hmph, how can I let them be afraid for nothing? This time, the old man will take advantage of him to underestimate my city. Emptiness, in one fell swoop, eliminate this serious trouble for the country!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and left in a hurry.

There are different teachings: Cao concealed his plan to Dengzhou, and the old man went back to investigate the ghost's conspiracy.The sea floods over a thousand waves, and the high sky cranes cry out in autumn.
