Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 182

According to what Yu Baosi said, the head of the Zeng family, named Elder Zeng, was originally a Jurchen, but his branch was enlightened earlier, and he has always been an obedient citizen of the Liao Kingdom. He bought low and sold high among the Liao people and his clan. , both ways, but also prosperous for a hundred years.

When Jurchen rose up and rebelled against Daliao, his branch became a bat—the bird didn't hurt, the beast didn't love, and he suffered from splint gas.There was no way, the whole family could not escape, and after several hardships, they changed their names and changed their surnames in Lingzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, and took root.

The elder Zeng had five children, all of whom were named in Chinese, they were Zeng Tu, Zeng Shen, Zeng Suo, Zeng Kui, and Zeng Sheng, all of them were arrogant, good at fighting and powerful, and they were called the Five Tigers of the Zeng family. .He also hired two teachers with a lot of money, one named Shi Wengong, and the other named Su Ding as an assistant teacher.

Don't look at him in Zengtou City, where there are only households, but there are five or seven thousand warriors who are capable of fighting. Many of them sold their stolen goods to his house, and they were the famous Sidihu.

Cao Cao and others were startled when they heard this.

Cao Cao continued to sneer: "What a good Song Dynasty, appointed a good official! If I were Zhao Ji, all the officials in Lingzhou should be killed! Five or seven thousand people capable of fighting are in the hands of a wealthy family, hehe, hehe."

Xu Guanzhong said: "In the past, when Wang Xianggong implemented the new law, he felt the harm of redundant soldiers, so he formulated the Baojia Law. Ten households are guaranteed one, five guarantees are one big guarantee, ten ten households are one capital guarantee, and every family has two Among the above, one person will be the Baoding, who will gather for military training during the slack season. This is the township army. According to Wang Xianggong's original intention, the forbidden army guards the capital, the frontier army guards the border city, the Xiang army guards the county, and the township army guards the village. Suffering. The result, hehe."

Cao Cao shook his head and sneered: "It seems that this kind of law is full of empty talk and power is given to private individuals. Those security chiefs and regiments who have this opportunity will definitely take the opportunity to extort and extort, so that the people are in dire straits. Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City today will inevitably take the opportunity to cultivate power and dominate one side, and it will be a disaster in the future!"

Li Kui jumped up and said, "What harm is he afraid of? Since this bird man has caused my brother a headache, I will go to Zengtou City for a while, and bring old Zeng and his five sons back, so as to share my worries. .”

Niu Gao got up quickly and said: "Brother Tieniu is so courageous, my younger brother will go with you, the two of you have a care."

The two men were about to pay the bill, but Yang Lin hurriedly stopped them.

Xu Guanzhong said: "Brother Li, you don't know, but in all these places, most of them learn the method of the western army's fortress. The outside is surrounded by earth and mountains, the wall is high, the road inside is like a maze, and there are traps everywhere. It is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. , although you are very brave, if you underestimate him, you will definitely be captured by him."

When Yu Bao heard this, he was even more admirable, nodded and said: "Brother Xu, you really have good knowledge! Zengtou City is really narrow, and there is a natural moat surrounded by high hills on three sides. Just like a city wall, many river ports have been excavated, as dense as a snake coil, and many willow trees have been planted to cover the situation. If outsiders don't know the way, they will get lost when they go in."

Li Kui said sadly after hearing this: "In this way, wouldn't it become a maze? How can he be willing to stand up and let me take the lead in chopping, but it will be happy."

Yu Baosi smiled when he heard this: "I don't know! We wait for green forest heroes, which one is easy to get along with? Why are you willing to trade with him and be exploited by him? It's just because the folk customs there are really tough, don't talk about those young and strong. It is a child of eight or nine years old, who picks up a knife and stabs people when he disagrees with each other, and an old woman can also wield a knife and a gun, so it is really difficult to deal with."

Huang Wenbing was panicked when he heard this, and offered a plan: "If he is so vicious, why should we bother with him? Brother, why don't you prepare some good gifts, wait for the younger brother to go for a walk, and use this three-inch tongue to make peace with him , it’s better for everyone not to invade each other.”

Cao Cao said: "Wen Bing is an old saying! However, the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty had a saying, and I admire it: How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? What's more, he sent Yu Bao to come to Yanggu to hide, and the hostility has already been seen." , would I let him go?"

Jiang Jingdao: "If that's the case, my brother must invite Chao Tianwang and Monk Hua to come here and gather elite soldiers and strong generals before we can fight him!"

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Swallowing the four prefectures is our top priority! Erlong Mountain's army and horses must not move lightly before the four prefectures are leveled. As for Liangshan, Lin Chong and Hua Rong are two generals on Erlong Mountain. Second, we are waiting for the performance of the play in Bianjing, and the imperial court will come to attack sooner or later, but we must not take it lightly."

Pei Xuandao: "Brother, it's better to be late and just ignore him. When the affairs of the four states are settled, the army will be trained, and the mere Zengtou city can be leveled."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's true." Then he frowned and thought.

But Xu Guanzhong got up and said: "My brother's opinion is different from that of the brothers. The so-called tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. It is just like what Brother Wu said. The enemy sent troops to ambush. The hostility has been seen. If I allow him, what kind of pass has I really reached? The imperial court conquered Liangshan, and he also took the opportunity to join in the fun, wouldn't it be more troublesome? According to my younger brother, it is the best strategy to destroy this imperial food with a thunder strike!"

Seeing his high spirits, Cao Cao was also infected, so he punched his palm and laughed loudly: "Guan Zhong's words won my heart! The subordinates of the four Yu Bao brothers, plus the people from Shi'er Mountain, plus the county can draw There are more than a thousand people who came out, and they are mentally calculating but not intentional, and they are worthy of a battle!"

More than 7000 people put together against people were still worthy of a battle. Huang Wenbing, Jiang Jing, and Pei Xuan all changed their faces, but Xu Guanzhong's eyes brightened a lot, and he cheered: "Brother, this sentence is true!" Mental calculation without heart, has won the essence of the art of war!"

Zhang Heng jumped up and shouted: "How come my brother forgot my brother who was waiting on the water? Could it be that we won't be able to kill anyone when we get to the shore?"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "I'm glad to hear about the war! With such a group of brothers, why should my brother be afraid of him being in the market?"

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly: "Wen Bing has the talent for governing. He has a good background and a cunning nature. He knows the many methods of officials. If he is willing to work hard and fight poison with poison, he will be able to use it; Jiang Jing has the talent for calculation. He is good at calculation, well-organized, seeks no faults in advance, and will never make mistakes if he entrusts logistics; Pei Xuan has the talent for law enforcement, is unselfish, straightforward, and would rather be slow than wrong. He is responsible for rewards and punishments. ..."

"As for Xu Guanzhong!" Cao Cao couldn't help thinking with a smile in his eyes: "Although he is young and still needs to experience, but he can see the overall situation, he is good at planning and decisive, and he has a great sense of filial piety!"

For a moment, I couldn't help but think of Yuan Shao's great power in the past, and many of his ministers were fearful and fornicating, but Guo Jia encouraged him with the saying "Shao had ten defeats, and the public had ten victories", and he won a decisive battle.

In fact, there is nothing surprising about his ten victories and ten defeats. It can be summed up in one sentence: Although he has more soldiers than you, you are better than him in person. , You are better than everything else, how do you say you lost?

Thinking about the current situation, isn't it normal?On the bright side, Zengtou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many people, but whether it is the elder Zeng or the so-called five tigers, how can he compare with himself?

At this time Lu Fang got up and said: "Mr. Xu just mentioned that his fortress is fortified, but my younger brother remembered that when he attacked Zhujiazhuang, his village was located on a high hill, surrounded by Pantuo Road, and it was also a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Taking their main force and attacking head-on, I don't know how much damage I will suffer. So the younger brother thought, how to find a way to lure him out."

Li Kui said happily after hearing this: "Isn't this what I said earlier? If he is willing to stand up, I will just cut off the head and win the battle."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Brother Lu Fang knows how to use tricks, and he has made great progress. Your thinking is right, the location is favorable and the people are harmonious, and he is one. If you want to lure him out, it is not difficult, as long as-"

Xu Guanzhong suddenly interjected: "As long as Brother Yu is willing to make a hook himself!"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

There are different teachings: the walls of Xiukua Fortress are high, and when Lao Cao melts the snow, he disappears.Get ready to bow down on the tiger, arrange fragrant bait to catch the golden ao!

　It's too late to come back after driving all day, it's too late today.
