Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 15

Wu Song jumped off his horse and first introduced Cao Cao, "This is my elder brother Wu Zhi. As for me, my surname is Wu and my name is Song."

The two people were pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that Wu's Kunzhong from Yanggu County, Wu Mengde and Huodian Wei are face to face?"

Cao Cao got off his horse and helped the two of them up, he said with a smile, "It's just that friends in the Jianghu are absurd. I don't know the names of the two brothers. Why are you fighting here?"

The man in red said: "The villain's surname is Lu Mingfang, a surname from Tanzhou. Because he loves Lu Bu as a man, he specially learned how to draw a halberd from Fang Tian. Everyone calls him Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang. He was arrested by the west gate of Yanggu County for selling raw medicine to Shandong. The rich man defrauded his capital and goods, so he could not return home, so he had the right to occupy the pair of shadow mountains and rob them. A few days ago, I met a group of customers who said that the brother of the Wu family had killed Ximen Qing, and the villain was so happy that he drank wine for three days. Go to Yanggu County to pay a visit..."

He said with a smile pointing at the man in white: "Who knows that this strong man came recently and wanted to take Lu Fang's stronghold, so that everyone could share a mountain with him, but he refused, so he fought with him for days."

The man in white said, "Guo Sheng, a villain, was born in Jialing, Xichuan. He loves painting halberds. He is called Sai Rengui by people in the Jianghu. He has always sold mercury and goods. Who knew that the boat capsized in the Yellow River and he couldn't go back to his hometown. I heard that he is right." There is a great king in Yingshan who is good at halberds, so I came here to try out the halberd skills, and I have been fighting for several days without winning or losing. I didn't expect to meet the second lord today, it's a blessing from heaven."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "It's rare, it's rare that the eight of us have such a fate."

Wu Song, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng were all taken aback when they heard the words, Cao Cao pointed at the four of them solemnly and said, "Wu Zhi, Wu Song, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Cao Mengde, Dian Wei, Wen Hou Lu Bu, Xue Rengui, aren't there eight people?"

Coincidentally, the nicknames of these four people all use the names of ancient people.When everyone saw what he said was funny, they all burst into laughter, even the two or three hundred youngsters couldn't stand their ground. They felt close to this famous "Wu Mengde" student.

Cao Cao thought to himself, although these two people's martial arts are mediocre, they are better because they are young. If they are trained by masters, it will not be difficult for them to make further progress.Moreover, they are all businessmen, so they must be able to handle things neatly, so it is better to take them under their command.

He said: "Brother Lu, Brother Guo, and Wu Mou Guanru are both dignified and dignified. Although the green forest is at ease, it will inevitably annihilate the heroism of a man. It is better to join the army with Wu Mou to suppress the bandits, with one knife and one gun , fight for a wife and a son, and shine on the lintel, so that you will live up to your parents, and it will not be in vain to learn this skill, what do you two brothers think?"

Lu Guo and Lu Guo looked at each other, they could see each other's happiness, they both bowed down and said: "Brother wants to praise us, how can you refuse? We are young and inexperienced, and I hope you can teach me a lot."

Lu Fang immediately ordered people to go up the mountain, loaded the carts with food, grass and supplies, set fire to the cottages, and joined Cao Cao's team.

Cao Cao counted men and horses, Lu Fang had more than people, and Guo Sheng had more than people. He still let them lead each other. Pay attention to, and how soldiers organize and perform.

He painted with his fingers and talked eloquently, explaining every question in a simple way.Wu Song has long been used to this, but Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were astonished as heaven and man, only to feel that what the other party said casually was all golden rules and jade rules, with infinite mysteries hidden inside, which opened his eyes and made him more convinced.

You must know that Lao Cao was originally a master of the art of war. During this year, he bought a lot of military books of "later generations" to study, and carefully understood the development and progress of military techniques and tactics in the past thousand years, and integrated them into his own system, just like a golden fairy. Instructing casual practitioners during the Qi training period, every word is enough to make people think.

Early the next morning, I packed up my tent and set off. After walking for more than an hour, the horses in front reported that there were four or fifty people each armed with weapons, surrounded by several carts, and about 50 of them were still riding horses. Judging by the color of his clothes, he should be a character in the green forest.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Wu Song and the others: "If my prediction is correct, this group of people are the Qingfeng Mountain bandits we are going to eliminate."

Wu Song didn't believe it: "Since the robbers have the ability to attack Qingzhou government, how can they only have a few dozen people? Besides, they don't guard Qingfeng Mountain, what are they doing here?"

Cao Cao said: "The bandits in Qingfeng Mountain only robbed pedestrians before, but they suddenly attacked Qingfeng Village first and then Qingzhou Mansion. There must be a reason for such a big fight. I guess they knew the crime was serious and knew that the prefect of Murong had an extraordinary background. , afraid of being encircled and suppressed by the government and army, so they abandoned Qingfeng Mountain instead of going to Dazhai to avoid disaster. As for why there are only dozens of people, it must be because of the division of troops. It may be three teams, or five teams. Because of the large number of people, the state capitals along the road came to suppress them."

Wu Song suddenly realized when he heard this, he slapped his legs and said: "According to my elder brother, most of them are going to go to Liangshan on this road."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Although there are mountains everywhere in this Shandong Province, in terms of physical strength, there are only Liangshan Mountains, which are surrounded by eight hundred miles of water and lakes. As long as there is a capable navy, even 100,000 people and horses will not be enough to conquer them." Fear. Have you forgotten Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi?"

Wu Song nodded again and again: "What brother saw is very true! So what should we do now?"

Cao Cao laughed and said: "You and I will divide the troops into half. Lu Fang will lead people to follow me, Guo Sheng will follow you, and 40 people from Yanggu County will follow you. Let's go to the forest on both sides to ambush. The opponent's first team is the pioneer, and it must be elite. Let him pass, and the second team will pay attention to see if he has luggage. If he brings too much, it will be divided into three teams. Let him pass too. If the third team has luggage, let it go. If there is no luggage The vehicle is the army with the broken rear. I will fight his rear first, then I will fight out first and stop them from fighting. If the opponent's front army comes to help, Erlang will lead Guo Sheng to fight out, stop his way, and kill him first. If the two teams concentrate on dealing with the former army, there is no reason for them to be invincible."

Wu Song, Lu Fang, and Guo Shengda paid homage to them, and immediately divided up their troops on the spot, and acted according to plan.

After about half an hour, I saw a general with a silver armor and a jade face and a short and fat man with a black face. The two were riding on horses, leading more than horsemen in front, and behind them were more than young men. Surrounded by several carts, there are old and young in the carts, it seems that they are family members in the village.

Wu Song was hiding in the forest on the right, and nodded secretly when he saw it. Since he had brought so many old and young, it seemed that he had abandoned the village and left, and his brother was really accurate.

On the other side of the forest, Cao Cao pointed out to Lu Fang in a low voice: "Look at this group of bandits, they are marching on the road, they don't even send scout horses, and walking in a big way is the number one taboo in marching." Lu Fang nodded quickly and wrote it down.

This group of people passed by, and not long after, another army of eighty or ninety horses came, escorting a large cart full of boxes and rice bags, presumably it was the luggage in the village, two generals in the lead, with bright armor, one immediately hung a wolf Tooth sticks, each carrying a Sangmen sword.

Cao Cao said in a low voice: "The second team carried the luggage. From this point of view, they only divided into three teams, and the third team was cut off. These two generals don't seem to have any reckless habits. They should be the commander in charge of Qin Minghe. The soldiers and horses are all in charge of Huang Xin! The first team wearing white armor just now is probably Huarong, the deputy magistrate of Qingfeng Village."

When Lu Fang saw him casually glanced at him, he spoke with certainty, and was filled with admiration.

The second team passed by, and after a while, the third team came, leading an army of forty or fifty horsemen, with three leaders at the head. The man in the middle was wearing a maroon jacket, with a red silk handkerchief wrapped around his head, and had a square face. , with red hair and a yellow beard, and dark, vicious eyes;

The one on the right is fair and handsome, with a few strands of beard and a red veil wrapped around his head, with a grass dangling from his mouth, dressed in oily green, with a half-smile on his face;

The person on the left is as tall as Wu Dalang, short and reckless, with wrists thicker than ordinary people's calves, no neck, a large pot head sitting on his shoulders, and a pair of small eyes spinning around.

Lu Fang looked at it secretly amused, and thought to himself, no wonder the elder brother of the Wu family said that Qin Ming Huang Xin didn't have the habit of recklessness, I also asked him how he could see it, after seeing these three people, he knew what the habit of recklessness is.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Cao Cao yelling in a deep voice, "Kill!"
