Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty-Nine

Cao Cao got off his horse early, Deng Fei led Yang Lin to him, and proudly said: "My elder brother is either someone else, or Dalang from the Wu clan of Kunzhong in Yanggu County, brother 'Wu Mengde' Wu Zhi!"

When Yang Lin heard this, he immediately fell to the ground and said: "Little brother has been traveling all over the world for the past two years, and I have heard a lot about my brother's reputation. I was thinking about when I would go to Yanggu to pay a visit, but unexpectedly I met Daozuo. Isn't it fate for my little brother?"

Cao Cao helped Yang Lin up and said, "A little reputation is nothing to worry about. Where has Brother Yang Lin always been?"

Yang Lin smiled generously: "Where is it worthy of talking about high, my younger brother often lives in the green forest. Now that he is getting older, he is trying to find a way out. If you don't give up, please allow me to follow."

Seeing Yang Lin's free-spirited speech and amiable character, Cao Cao was willing to accept him. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile, "It can be seen that it is a coincidence that our brothers and I can gather together in one place."

At that moment, he called someone to fetch a horse and gave Yang Lin a ride, so he pulled it beside him and chatted.

Yang Lin has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he is courageous, well-informed, and very good at talking. After the two communicated, Cao Cao became more and more happy, thinking that this person is quite useful.

Everyone walked slowly all the way, and when it was dusk, they saw Chai Jin's manor from afar.

A companion had already gone to report the news on a flying horse. When Chai Jin heard that Cao Cao had recovered the goods for him, he was overjoyed with the return of many heroes. Pegasus came to meet him.

"Brother Yu travels far and hard, and I want to kill Brother Yu!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "My dear friend, I have seen the magnificent rivers and mountains during this trip, and I have also met many good men. How can there be such a word as hard work?"

Chai Jin grabbed the bridle and said, "Drink three cups of dust-cleaning wine, and slaughter cattle and sheep in the village, so as to welcome brother Wuxian and all heroes!"

Everyone drank a few cups at the crossroads, and when they arrived in Dezhuang, they saw bright lights, and long tables were set up, and good meat and wine were served on the tables like flowing water.

Cao Cao sat at the main table with Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, Meng Kang, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian, and Yang Lin, and introduced the newly recruited heroes to Chai Jin one by one. Pei Xuan and the other three To apologize, he said that Chai Jin should not have robbed Chai Jin's goods, but Chai Jin laughed it off and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, so it's nothing to worry about."

However, Cao Cao grabbed Chai Jin and said in a low voice: "Dear man, this section is not a misunderstanding. The heroes in the Jianghu respect the word 'little whirlwind'. The benefits of this reputation are the unimpeded flow of goods from north to Liao and south to Song Dynasty. There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": only utensils and names are the only ones, and no fake people! My dear brother, listen to my brother's words, from now on your Chai family banner , don’t borrow from others easily.”

After hearing this, Chai Jin felt a little displeased, and forced a smile: "Business matters are handled by his servants. People like me and my virtuous brother don't need to worry about such trivial matters."

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, who in the world doesn't love money? Only my dear brother regards it as a trivial matter. If this kind of heart is not a heroic husband, who can have it?"

Chai Jin was overjoyed when he heard the words, he pulled Cao Cao and said, "Your brother knows me."

Cao Cao laughed and drank with him, shaking his head secretly in his heart, Cangzhou Xiaoxuanfeng, who is generous and knowledgeable, is nothing more than that.

The next day, Cao Cao wanted to say goodbye, but Chai Jin stayed for three days in a row. On the fourth day, Cao Cao reported, "It's not because I don't want to stay, but I just agreed to Pei Xuan and wanted to have an injustice with him. Let’s wait for this matter, and then come and have fun with my dear brother.”

Only then did Chai Jin agree, and asked Cao Cao to take out many precious gifts, and desperately pressured Cao Cao to accept them. He sent them for twenty or thirty miles, and only then did he look forward to seeing Cao Cao and his party leave.

There were a hundred guests in Chai Jinzhuang, and they naturally stayed at the village, but there were still two hundred people from Yinmazhuang who came with them, and the team was still huge.

Yiyi bid farewell to Chai Jin, Deng Fei stepped forward and said, "Brother, it is said that meeting is worse than being famous, no one knows that. This little Xuanfeng Chai has a great reputation in the world, even higher than his elder brother. You can see the real person, but It's a misnomer."

Pei Xuan also said: "On the day of receiving the wind, my brother persuaded me with such golden and jade words, and he actually wanted to get angry, which made people feel chilled."

Shi Xiu sneered and said: "In the hearts of Chai officials, heroes are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Brother, who has an official position and property, is the first grade, and brother Pei Xuan, who has established a mountain and village, is the second grade. Younger brother who has no reputation in the rivers and lakes is the third class, and he doesn't want to say a word, how can there be a brother who is so kind and loving."

Shi Qian looked at everyone with grievances: "Brother Shi Xiu, you are still the third class. When the elder brother introduced the younger brother, he praised the younger brother's lightness skills, which is rare in the country. The tall buildings and spacious buildings are like walking on the ground. Don't you see that the official said: Xian Brother, you, you take a thief as your companion? If that look, if it is not for brother's face, I am afraid that I will be kicked out at that time."

He has a very similar pronunciation to the people, and when he imitated Chai Jin, his tone of surprise and contempt was so full of contempt that everyone laughed.

Cao Cao comforted: "Brother Shi Qian, don't be discouraged. If the world doesn't despise thieves, how can you want to do business with me? Why are you afraid of doing some ridiculous things when you are young? I stole it when I was young. She is a mother-in-law, if you do a great job in the future, who in the world would dare to lighten you?"

Shi Qian was moved when he heard this, but also felt unconfident, and murmured: "I don't have such extravagant martial arts as Brother Shi Xiu and the others, can I really make a big career?"

Cao Cao said: "Do you know Zhou Chu?" Except Pei Xuan, everyone shook their heads.

Cao Cao said: "I also saw this man when I was reading a few days ago. When he was young, he was brave and fierce. Everyone in the village was afraid of him. They all said that he was one of the three evils along with the tiger in the mountain and the jellyfish under the water. Zhou Chu was naturally brave and feared by others. The tiger jiao went up the mountain to stab the tiger, and entered the water to stab the jiao jiao. The jiao floated and floated in the water for dozens of miles. Zhou Chu was entangled with his life and death, and he didn't return it for three days. Everyone said he was dead and celebrated with joy. When Zhou Chu came back, he saw everyone After celebrating his death, I realized that I was so hated by others, so I wanted to change my past and find Lu Ji and Lu Yun as teachers to learn Confucianism."

Shi Xiu smiled and said: "At this age, do you want to abandon martial arts and follow literature?"

Cao Cao said sternly, "That's a good point! When I met Er Lu that week, I was also terrified. He said, 'I want to change my past, but after so many years of wasting, can I achieve anything?' Er Lu said to him , "The ancients said, it's okay to die at night after hearing the Tao, let alone you are still young. You should know that what people fear most is not having ambition. If you have ambition, do you still have to worry about not being famous in the world?" Sure enough, he became a famous minister of a generation."

Everyone was quite moved when they heard this, and they all heard Cao Cao's eagerness to look forward to each other.Although everyone thinks differently, their respect for Cao Cao is all doubled.

After walking like this for several days, it was not far from Yanggu, Cao Cao said: "Don't rush home, let's go to Shi'er Mountain and settle the brothers like Yinmachuan."

So a group of people went to Shi'er Mountain, stayed overnight on the way, and arrived at the foot of Shi'er Mountain at noon the next day.

The pathfinder quickly reported back: "At the foot of the Lion's Ear Mountain, I don't know where there are no less than a thousand soldiers and horses. They are surrounded at the foot of the mountain and are attacking the stronghold."

Cao Cao was furious immediately: "Qin Ming and others are on the mountain. They don't rob the road and don't loot the village. I'll take care of everyone with my own money. I live so honestly. How could someone bully me? Brothers, get on your nerves. Follow me to see which gang of thieves are so rude!"
