Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 301 Duan Wu strives for self-improvement

Hearing that Duan Wu was captured, Cao Cao immediately put on a smile and congratulated him, "Congratulations to Enxiang, congratulations to Enxiang!"

Tong Guan waved his hands, and said with a smile: "Duan Wu, this person, can't succeed in literature or martial arts, just because he is Wang Qing's brother-in-law, and has a reputation as a bandit chieftain, but he is actually just a straw bag. What's the point of getting it like a quail? gratifying?"

Cao Cao smiled unabated, and said happily: "The young general heard that there is a person with great luck in the world. He is in harmony with the will of heaven and the heart of the people, and he is loved by heaven and earth. In this generation, everything can be done, and everything you want to achieve can be achieved. I can't reach it. Now that Enxiang is about to restore Xijing, so the key comes from the sky, isn't it just a sign of unparalleled luck?"

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself that all these years, he had really achieved what he wanted. Even if there were some twists and turns for a while, everyone was happy in the end. So bless a certain family!"

Joyful for a while, he asked curiously again: "Xiao Wu, why did you just say that Duan Wu's idiot bag is the key to Xijing?"

Cao Cao smiled, and talked eloquently: "Duan Wu lived in Jiancheng, why was he captured? From the point of view of the general, it must be the two Huaixi thieves Xi Sheng and Xie Ning who were killed in the daytime. Under Duan Wu's subordinates, there is no one to support him, this person is afraid of being captured by the army, or being controlled by Tian Hu, so he simply escaped from Xijing, hoping to escape far away."

Tong Guan heard what he said clearly, nodded secretly, and heard Cao Cao laughing: "Duan Wu is not a man who can win the hearts of the people. Seeing his defeat, his subordinates will naturally turn against each other. It is also appropriate to tie him up and ask for rewards." There are countless of them. However, he knows this matter and I know it, but how did the bandit soldiers in the city know about it?"

Tong Guan clapped his hands and sighed: "Wonderful! You want to take his heart first, and then let him lead the army into the city? If so, you have to act as soon as possible, otherwise the bandits will find out that Duan Wu has fled privately. Useless."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

Tong Guan nodded, with a solemn expression, his eyes widened: "Come on, bring those two people up."

Not long after, a few schoolboys pushed two men into the tent, first pointing at a five-flowered man who was already in the tent and said, "This is Duan Wu."

He also pointed to another man with his hands tied behind his back and an obscene face, and said: "This man claims to be Duan Wu's confidant, and he captured Duan Wu to offer it to him. I don't know what his words are true, so I bound his hands."

The man quickly knelt down, didn't know who was who, just kowtowed his head like garlic: "Little man Niu Si, I have seen two generals."

Tong Guan looked at Cao Cao, meaning to go, take his heart first, and break through his city quickly!

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and shouted: "Forget it, Niu Si, raise your head and talk, and tell me how you captured Duan Wu?"

Niu Si raised his head tremblingly, and forced himself to smile: "General Rong, the villain is the kind person next to Duan Wu's dog thief. This dog thief was afraid of the generals' mighty power, so he took us away privately." Out of town, and so-and-so, and so-and-so..."

After he told the story, Cao Cao's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Since he is caring for his own people, but he captured his master in exchange for rewards, it can be seen that he is also an unfaithful person!"

"I am wronged, General!" Niu Si was startled and burst into tears: "The villain is originally from the Song Dynasty, so he is naturally loyal to the Song Dynasty. The villain seems to be his confidant by the side of this traitor, but in fact, in fact, it seems that he is in Cao Ying. Guan Yunchang's heart is in the Han Dynasty, although he is trapped in a den of thieves, he still looks at the bright moon with his heart, and never forgets the big man, ah no, he doesn't forget the big Song! Now that he knows that the heavenly soldiers are coming, he specially captured this damned Cao Cao, ah no, Duan Five! Capture the damned Duan Wu and present it to the general."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words, and said lightly: "In this way, I would have wronged you."

"He, he's wronged!" Duan Wu was so frightened that he was as soft as mud, but when he heard that Cao Cao didn't seem to think much of Niu Si, he immediately cheered up:
You rebellious boy, even if I die, I should drag you to the street with me!
Immediately, he began to scold while rolling, exposing Niu Si's old background one by one: "General Mingjian, we didn't force this guy to rebel. Wang Qing and I just went to Fangshan Luocao not long ago, and we heard Fangzhou officers and soldiers kill After becoming an official and general, his own family rebelled, so he listened to Li Zhu's plan and went to Fangzhou to build the foundation. Niu Si was originally a Fangzhou rogue. Thanks to him, he joined the gang, he is still in Cao Ying and his heart is in the Han, I'm sorry! And Guan Yunchang, he is also worthy!"

Niu Si was shocked when he heard this, and regardless of being in the handsome tent, he jumped up and kicked Duan Wu indiscriminately—he only bound his hands, but Duan Wu was bound.

The two juniors hurried forward and pulled Niu Si away. Cao Cao sneered and said, "It turns out that he is a thief who bit his partner back and pretended to be a good person? Someone, pull him away and kill him for me."

Niu Da was shocked: "General, master, please spare me. How about I give all the rewards to the master? Master, ah, dog officer, but the master is stupid. You still have to squeeze oil out of stones. How can you give me a large reward? I am wrong..."

The sound faded away for a while.

Duan Wu sat up and laughed loudly: "Okay! Good death! A ruthless thief! Forget it, although Duan is inevitable to be cut, seeing him die before he dies, he is also... heart, heart willing ..."

Although the words were hard, but thinking of the pain of the cuts, I couldn't help trembling, tears streaming down my face, suddenly turned over and knelt up, kowtowed: "My lord, be merciful, be merciful, give me a happy knife!" , Duan Wu has been a ghost, and I will also repay the kindness of the two masters."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Who said they will kill you?"

These five words floated into Duan Wu's ears, and it was really "like listening to fairy music, and the ears are temporarily clear". Suddenly, his face was full of surprise and uncontrollable, and he looked at Cao Cao eagerly: "General, what did you say, old man? My short-lived brother Duan , the spies reported back, knives, not a single knives less."

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "When it comes to punishment by cutting, since ancient times, only the chief culprit has been asked. Although you are also a bandit chieftain, you are not the leader like Wang Qing. The reason why your brother is severely punished is that he went crazy and insulted my commander! If you don't punish him severely, no soldier in the Song Dynasty would be willing to do so, you are so timid, could it be that you have also insulted my commander in chief?"

"No! Wronged! Impossible!" Duan Wu shook his head and almost shook his head: "The villain has worshiped Marshal Tong since he was a child, and when he was a good citizen in the village, he would feel angry every time he drank alcohol. Dashuai Tong is a soldier and let him kill those summer dogs. My brother is so daring, because of this, Duan Er and I have turned against each other and beat him several times."

"It turns out that you actually have the heart to serve the commander!" Cao Cao pretended to be amazed, then shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity! Duan Wu, if you have not abandoned the army and fled privately, you are still in the position of the anti-thief leader. , donating the city of Xijing, wouldn’t it be possible to pay off your merits, not to mention Ling Chi, you might be exonerated from the death penalty, but you can really be a general under the command of the commander-in-chief.”

Duan Wu showed an unbelievable expression: "How is it possible? Rebellion is the crime of punishing the Jiuzu..."

Cao Cao smiled pitifully: "Hey, the main culprit is Wang Qing, not you Duan Wu. You should know him after hearing about the world, right? This person sacrificed Nanfeng, not only did he not be held accountable for participating in the rebellion, the commander even sealed him personally. Became the commander of the Yellow River Navy. Let’s talk about the top ten Jiedu envoys in this dynasty, which one was not the first to rebel against the mountain? After the recruitment, it was the big salary and the big salary.”

Duan Wu was stunned, with a look of remorse on his face, suddenly he raised his head, his eyes were urgent and determined: "General! The general let me go, I led my own troops to surrender!"

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Now in the city, there are more Jin rebels than you, and Niu Wenzhong has many generals, and you are alone. Do you have any strong generals under your command? Don't let him kill you before the city is opened."

Duan Wu felt that it was reasonable, and suddenly became stunned. He was not a wise man, but at this moment of life and death, he suddenly felt lucky. He rolled and rolled to Cao Cao's feet. I have a group of soldiers and horses, enter Xijing with me, and the southern city of Xijing is all my troops, there is not a single Jin thief, with only Duan Wu's face, it is easy to get in and out."

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Tong Guan, Tong Guan was full of joy and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, it was the fourth watch. Cao Cao ordered all the troops under his command and divided them into three groups: Yuan Lang, Teng Jian, and Teng Jian led the way and went around to garrison outside the north gate; Du Po, Zhu Jing and Liu Yuan led the way and went around the west gate. Outside the garrison; Cao Cao personally led troops with Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Lu Junyi, and Sun An, and took Duan Wu to the south gate to enter the city.

As for the east gate, Tong Guan led the army to garrison it.

Let's just talk about Cao Cao's journey, people wear soft battles, horses pick luan bells, take advantage of the frosty and snowy moonlight on the ground, go far around the city wall, come to Nancheng, and come straight to the city gate.

Seeing the large group of soldiers coming, the guards on the city immediately beat the gongs and drums and shouted. Duan Wu was shocked when he saw this, so he rode a horse alone, galloped to the bottom of the city, and shouted: "What is the noise, have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Where are the dogs and the birds, you fucking don't recognize Ben Shuai?"

A general in the city heard the sound familiar, so he hurriedly gathered many lanterns to look down and take a look. After a closer look, it was indeed Duan Wu!

When the general met Duan Wu, he was surprised and delighted, and said in great surprise, "Ah, it's the fifth master who came back. Fifth master, you, didn't you abandon us and go away alone?"

After hearing this, Duan Wu remembered that he had called this person to open the city gate before, his face flushed instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Stop talking nonsense, disturbing my army's morale, this commander came out of the city to personally pick him up. Reinforcements, now that the reinforcements have arrived, why don’t you open the city quickly?”

Coincidentally, that general, Duan Gou'er, was originally the Zhuang Ding of the Duan family, and he was the one who killed Fangshan Luocao at the beginning. Although he was old, he was not popular, so he only served as a general in the army. That's why Duan Wu is called the fifth master, but he is different from the second master and Duan Er.

At that moment Duan Gouer happily opened the gate of the city, Cao Cao rushed in with his army, and was about to give orders to rob the city gate, but Duan Gouer laughed and said, "Fifth Master, where can we get reinforcements now? It must be you Is it right to surrender the Song army and lead the Song army to take Xijing?"

Duan Wu's shock was no small matter, but Cao Cao said strangely: "You know we are the Song army, and you still open the city gate?"

Duan Gou'er laughed and said, "What about the Song army? Isn't it better than the Jin army? You don't know this general, but those old Xi'er knew that the King of Chu was defeated, and each of them has a very tricky face. They ridicule and insult you when they meet Those of us from Huaixi fight back the slightest bit, and hit with our fists. Damn, everyone is obviously a rebel, but they seem to be a head above us. Think about it, general, if you want to be a rebel, you have to be a rebel right now. Not wronged? Fifth Master, he refuses to make decisions for the brothers, rather than being bullied by them for nothing, it would be better for everyone to follow Fifth Master and surrender the Song Army, we are also Song people."

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "This brother can see clearly. Since you have such a thought, go and gather your own soldiers and horses, hand over your weapons, and wait in the camp for punishment."

Duan Gou'er listened and shook his head and said: "General, it's better for us to be the vanguard, and we all go to fight Lao Xi'er together, at least give some credit to the brothers, pay off the crime, clear the name of the thief, and go home to be a good citizen .”

Cao Cao was even more amazed when he heard this, nodded and said: "Forget it, if you have such ability, not only will you pay for your merits, but I will also reward you for your merits."

Duan Gou'er shook his head again and said, "If he really deserves some credit, then it will all be attributed to Fifth Lord. His crime is serious, and it must be worth more credit."

When Duan Wu heard this, he couldn't help being moved, he choked up and said: "Ah, dog, you are so loyal, Lord Wu, I have always treated you poorly."

Duan Gou'er said with a naive smile: "What are you talking about? There was a severe drought when I was five years old, and my parents were starved to death. If it wasn't for the third lady who asked me to go to Duan's house to make a horse for her, and then forced you and the second master to use steamed buns as a substitute." Feed me as fodder, but the bones have already been gnawed by wild dogs. Don't you want to repay this kindness?"

Cao Cao made up his mind secretly, frowned and said, "Duan Wu, you don't need to have such loyal subordinates, why did you take four wolf-hearted people to flee privately?"

Duan Wu was so ashamed that he wanted to die, he lowered his head and muttered: "It's just because Duan Gou'er often speaks against his ears, so my brother and I don't like him."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Your sister must like him."

Duan Gou'er sighed and said: "Miss treated me very well at first, but later she was going to marry the King of Chu, I was the one who said that guy was unreliable with a pretty face, so Miss didn't want to pay attention to me anymore."

Xiao Jiasui shook his head and sighed: "Good words are harsh, but loyal words are hard to hear. Since ancient times, when a king has admonishing ministers, he will not destroy his country, and a father will not destroy his family if he has admonishing sons. He has such loyal servants but does not know how to treat them kindly. We can see that the Duan family has fallen into such a situation. also."

Xu Guanzhong, Lu Junyi and others also sighed endlessly.

Cao Cao said: "Forget it, since Duan Gou'er has such a loyal heart, I will do it for you! You lead the troops forward to fight, and my people will cover later."

Duan Gou'er nodded happily. At this time, many Huaixi thieves rushed forward when they heard the gong beating. When they saw Song Jun, they exclaimed in unison, and then came up to fight. Duan Gou'er ran up the city wall, raised his arms and shouted: " Brothers wait a moment, listen to what my little brother said, everyone rebelled with the king of Chu, some were sincere, some were false, but now the king of Chu has been suppressed by the army, I will bear the name of a rebel, and I will never return home. There are only two paths, before you start, please choose one."

Some people shouted: "Is it a dog? Are you telling me to surrender to the officers and soldiers? You forgot that the officials made me wait so hard."

Duan Gou'er sighed: "When my parents starved to death, it was the government that robbed the only food in the family to pay the land tax. The government is hateful, don't I know? But in the whole world, where is there a way for the poor to survive? I don't ask you to surrender, I just ask you to choose. The first road, the king of Chu is gone, and continue to rebel with King Jin. We are not from his hometown. You know how old Xier bullied us these days, so It is hard to fight a deadly battle, so I must wait first, if I choose this path, I have to, but I am bullied on weekdays, and I die in the war, everyone should not regret it."

After saying these words, all the Huaixi thieves were silent.

Xu Guanzhong whispered in Lao Cao's ear: "This dog is a rare talent. It's a pity that Wang Qing and others have no eyes and don't know how to reuse them."

Xiao Jiasui also did not hide his admiration in his eyes, nodded and said: "This son is very talented, he is not an ordinary person."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let's watch what he does."

But I heard Duan Gou'er say again: "The second way is to demote the officers and soldiers. Everyone goes to kill the Jin thieves, clears the name of the thieves with meritorious service, and returns home as a good citizen."

Someone heard it and shouted: "Aren't you being oppressed by the government again?"

The dog sighed and said, "fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud. If you don't want to serve the people, you go to serve as a soldier and earn fame with one knife and one gun. Besides, the court may not want to see the disturbance of King Chu. I'll see." At least in the next few years, we should treat the people of Huaixi more or less favorably, as for the future, can you think so far?"

The man smiled and said, "I want to fuck, I'm so hungry, I just want to eat soup cakes tomorrow."

When the Huaixi group of thieves heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Lao Cao suddenly burst into tears, and said loudly: "Huaixi men, follow me to kill the thief today, if you don't die, tomorrow I will discipline you to eat enough soup and cakes, and there is meat in every bowl!"

The thieves in Huaixi were stunned at first, and then they cheered loudly. Countless men shouted: "I told you there was meat and soup cakes earlier, so I went to kill the Jin thieves earlier, what are you talking about so much nonsense!"

All the thieves jumped up one after another, waving their knives and guns and shouting in unison: "Kill the Jin thieves, kill the Jin thieves and eat soup cakes!"

The tide generally rushed to the ground of the Jinzhong Army.

Cao Cao couldn't help himself for a while, pulled Xu Guanzhong to tears and said: "Guan Zhong, you don't need to fight this battle, you go to see Tong Guan immediately and ask him to make the Huotou army prepare enough soup cakes, and every bowl must have meat Three two!"

The so-called: Don't laugh at Mr. Cao with tears and rain, his passion has broken people's hearts since ancient times.If two meals of soup and cakes are full, whoever raises a sword will die.
