Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 218

With a glance in Cao Cao's eyes, he knew that Guan Sheng's mood had fallen.

He said with a smile: "General Guan, let me say a simple and profound sentence——has the general thought about it, if this battle is defeated, how will the general deal with himself?"

Guan Sheng raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to refute, but he didn't open his mouth. After a moment of silence, Fang slowly said: "Guan Jiaerlang, who takes loyalty and righteousness as the foundation of his life. Success or failure is also the horoscope."

Cao Cao nodded in praise and said, "As expected of a descendant of Guan Gong. Since that's the case, Wu Mou wishes the general the victory—"

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and said with a slight smile, "However, if the situation of the battle is really unfavorable, the general might as well think about three old sayings."

Guan Sheng was curious: "I would like to hear the details!"

Cao Cao said: "The first sentence, the sky sees itself and the people see it; the sky listens to the people and listens to it."

Guan Sheng nodded in doubt: "This is what the "Shangshu" said."

Cao Cao smiled, and said again: "The second sentence, the vast traces of Yu, are painted as Kyushu."

Guan Sheng became more and more puzzled: "This is the words in "Zuo Zhuan"."

Cao Cao nodded and continued: "The third sentence is that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least."

Guan Sheng felt completely at a loss, and said in a daze, "Ah, this is what Mencius said."

Cao Cao said: "The general is knowledgeable! Once you understand these three sentences, you will know what a country is."

Guan Sheng's heart moved, and he saw that Cao Cao's circle around him seemed to be aimed at himself by saying "ordered country". After thinking for a while, he asked, "Brother Wu, you can teach me!"

Cao Cao opened his arms and said solemnly: "The sky above the head, the soil under the feet, the acres of rivers and mountains, and the descendants of the Chinese Miao, this is the country. The country you speak of is the emperor and the court!"

Brother Wu startled and said, "Nothing is the same?"

"Small is the same!" Xing Ning said solemnly, "Using the power of the country to support the imperial court, and the power of the imperial court to protect the country, this is the way of circulation and the principle of heaven and earth. If the court can raise talents and use energy , reconcile yin and yang, and broaden the righteous way, where you can conquer ministers, defend the enemy's gates, protect the border and the people, and each other fulfills their responsibilities, then the court is the country, and the country is the court."

Speaking of this, there was a short pause, and the lower the voice became, the window paper buzzed: "If the imperial court wastes its national power, it is for the enjoyment of a few people, it covers the blue sky, shows the power of the powerful, and it imposes tyranny on the inside and cruelty on the common people. If you flatter other races and beg for peace, the country is the country, and the imperial court is the imperial court. They are no longer one body. Such an imperial court is a small harm to the country! In time, the righteous people will raise their arms and imitate the revolution of Tang and Wu, and respond according to heaven. People too!"

Those words were thrown silently, and everyone listened mesmerized, Li Kui sighed: "Ah, what court, what country, what is brother talking about? Why do I, Tieniu, feel like my blood is hot?"

Cao Cao glanced at me and whispered to me loudly: "My brother said a lot, it seems to be just one sentence."

Li Kui looked at Cao Cao in surprise: "Which sentence?"

Cao Cao's occasionally stupefied face suddenly turned into a frenzied look, and he uttered a few words heavily: "Brother said, it's the other way around!"

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they paid attention to the whispers of the seven people, but seeing Yan Qing's eyes brightened, they said in a heavy voice: "What my brother said is from ancient times to the present, and no one can explain it thoroughly!"

Zhu Ting clenched his fists vigorously, his chest throbbing: "This is... the appearance of the hero!"

Lu Junyi smiled wryly and shook his head: "Lu is arrogant and has read books, and everyone is a scholar, but how can I say such earth-shattering words? Could it be that your brother reads the same books as you?"

Brother Wu was dazed for a long time, then he quickly turned his face and met Hao Siwen's eyes.

The seven brothers had their own affairs in the past, and occasionally discussed the ups and downs of the past and the present together, but why didn't they have Xing Ning's vision?
For a moment, I felt shocked and inexplicable. If you want to say that I am deviant, I just quoted the scriptures. What I said and said is completely brilliant. Is it reasonable to overthrow the bird court?

When the officials of the court appointed Cai Jing, Zhu Yu and others to engage in small flower and stone gangs in the south, so that the people lived in desperation, is it just "wasting national power for the enjoyment of a few people"?There are no eunuchs such as Yang Jian, Tong Guan, etc., and the servants of the door can run rampant in the market. Is it just in response to "covering the blue sky and showing the power of the powerful?"

As for the words of "imposing tyrannical government internally, cruelly abusing the common people, flattering foreigners, begging for peace", it is even more similar to the line drawing technique of painting, and vividly outlines a "Picture of the current politics of the Xiao Song Dynasty"!
Thinking of that, Brother Wu shuddered and looked at Xing Ning in horror: "Xuan Zan, who is he?"

Guan Sheng smiled and said: "Yanggu County is a capital, people in the Jianghu are called 'Wu Mengde', and Wu Zhi is also."

Brother Wu shook his head again and again, with an extremely weird expression on his face, he laughed and said: "Dutou, hehe, Dutou!"

Laughed a few times, but suddenly woke up from a drunken dream, and clenched his fists: "That's all! After all, I am a small army commander, and I am busy with military affairs. Since Xing Ning handed over your brother, I, my superior Then I left, and if I had no time before, I would ask Xuanzan again."

Xing Ning cupped his hands, and said with a chic smile: "General Guan can do as he pleases."

Brother Wu pulled Hao Siwen, the two seemed to avoid some kind of epidemic, and they walked away slowly with panicked expressions.

Guan Sheng smiled and winked, and Zhu Dian chased them out in small steps: "General Guan, General Hao and other subordinates, many of them disturbed the people before they were defeated, and were caught by the county police, and all of them were locked up in the original camp."

Xing Ning hurriedly said: "Thank you less, thank you less."

The two of us fled for our lives and left Yuncheng County, and when we were in the army, we got a little anxious, Brother Wu said: "These defeated soldiers still have to be taken back, incorporated into the team, and then go to war.

Hao Siwen said in surprise: "Ah, you can take that soldier."

Brother Wu smiled and said: "Worry, you have already made a plan in your heart, let Jiao Ting take over the defeated soldiers, he will only be a lieutenant by your side."

Xing Ningjin also wanted to see these bird soldiers who had thrown her away, and immediately nodded in response.

Back in the camp, Jiao Ting greeted him slowly, Xing Ning was willing to mention the grand theory of the "National Court", but only said a few words, saying that "Wu Mengde" was extravagant and bold, and everyone explained the misunderstanding, so he let him go naturally, Then he asked Jiao Ting to lead two thousand troops to the vanguard battalion to recruit these defeated soldiers.

The next day, Brother Wu left the camp and joined Jiao Ting.

On the eighth day, the whole army was mobilized and approached the Shangzhai ten miles away from Liangshanbo.

On July 77, the weather was fine and the east wind was mild.

The officers and soldiers returned from their scouting horses, and thousands of boats raced under the water, coming slowly.

Brother Wu hurriedly led his troops out and lined up behind the camp to wait.

At that time, Liangshan's boats were also close to the shore, and seven thousand people walked up and down the boats, orderly and slowly forming an array.

Brother Wu heaved a sigh of relief, pointed and said, "Can you see that? The grass bandits actually lined up with their backs in the water. If they won, if they rushed to get off the boat in a hurry, they would be defeated. It can be seen that even if the grass bandits have no brave generals, they know the art of war after all. !"

At that time, when the formation on the opposite side moved, a majestic young man came out first, and a dozen young generals lined up on both sides, each with bright armor, showing off their might.

Just listen to the little man shouting in a low voice: "You are the 'Tuota Heavenly King' Chao Gai! Brother Wu, you and others have already seen through the strategy of the Eight Routes of Conquest. If you are alone all the way, you dare to commit crimes knowing your life and death, if you surrender early, every one of his bones will be saved!"

As soon as those words came out, there was an uproar in the camp of the officers and soldiers. Many generals knew about the plan of the Eight Routes to conquer Liangshan, but just after they arrived, the other two routes had been wiped out, and morale suddenly dropped.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Brother Wu has a good heart, if you tell me more about it, will it damage morale in vain?As soon as Xiaodao was mentioned, he wanted to go to the field to invite a battle. He killed a few of my generals first, so as to boost the morale of the army.

Xing Ning saw my every move, anxiously thinking, how can the master general make another move?Wait for you to kill a few people to stand up.Immediately rode his horse and rushed out, brandishing a steel knife in his hand, he yelled: "Grass bandit, who dares to fight you, Jiao Ting?"

In Liangshan's formation, Yang Zhi shouted: "Ugly county horse, don't be arrogant, wait for Yang to come and meet him!" Dragging the ancestral golden-backed machete, he patted his horse and rushed to the back of the formation.

Xing Ning looked at the other person's face, the old and the young, and heard that the surname was Yang, and his heart moved, and he shouted: "Is that fellow the former imperial envoy, the 'green-faced beast' Yang Zhi? A certain family In Bianjing, I also heard about his bravery, but it is a pity that before he was a general, he turned into a bandit and sullied the name of his ancestors. On the four springs of our day, how can he face Old Master Yang?"

Yang Zhi said angrily: "Anyone who has nothing to say can say that this guy, Low Qiu, must have persecuted him! According to the Sajia family, this kind of treacherous official who has caused troubles to the government, he has to work for me, so he is really a gangster. grown ups!"

The two scolded each other for a few words and got angry with each other, but they didn't spend much time talking. They brandished two small knives and fought like iron.

There is no division of religion: Meng Dezhuang distinguishes the country and dynasty in his language, Brother Wu loses his voice and adds loneliness.Against Liangshan drums and horns, a pair of ugly ghosts each wielded their knives.
