Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 324

Hearing the news of Xu Jing's death, even though Wang Huan and Zhang Kai lived their lives in the army, their hearts were as hard as stone, and they couldn't help but shed two old tears.

Cao Cao sighed and persuaded, "Two old generals, please give me my condolences."

Wang Huan shook his head, and said with a rare serious expression: "The earthen jar was broken on the well, the general died before the battle, and Xu Laoyuan died in the battle. , lived through dangers all his life, unexpectedly died before us."

The two clasped their fists to Wu Song again and said, "Thank you Wu Erlang for avenging Xu Lao Yuan and saving Lao Han again."

Wu Song turned sideways and said: "They are all heroes who have contributed to the country, who would not behave like this?"

At this point, the two major Jiedu naturally have no face to ask for revenge from the surrendered generals. Cao Cao also understood the state of mind of the two of them, and secretly transferred those surrendered generals to the camp after the pass. Please get two Jiedu envoys to enter the customs, set up a banquet and drink.

During the meeting, everyone discussed how to write the victory report. Cao Cao gave up all the credit for Huguan, and half of the credit for Wei Shengjun's defeat of Tian Biao. The only thing is that the two major envoys broke Huguan and joined forces with Cao Cao in the north and south. win the army.

The two envoys were overjoyed and praised Cao Cao for his benevolence and humanity. Cao Cao also donated most of the captives captured in Huguan, as well as money and food, to make up for the loss of his continuous research.

The next day, Cao Cao's troops went out of Huguan Pass, passed through Weizhou, sent fast horses to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, summoned the navy, and sent troops and horses, with Du Po, Li Kui, Niu Gao, Teng Jian, Teng Kan, Ma Ling and others as generals. , The boat loaded and went straight to Shandong.

His family only took the remaining 10,000 people across the river, and set up camp thirty miles away from Bianjing. Shi Qian, Bian Xiang, and dozens of seasoned soldiers made a small cart to carry Fan Meiren, and loaded five carts with the treasures obtained from Tian Hu's puppet prince's mansion, and went straight to Tong Guan's mansion in the city. Wrapped a heavy door bag, said: "Young general Wu Zhi, come back from victory, and pay homage to your benefactor."

This day was the st of October, and Tong Guan was drinking tea with others in the study room. When he heard the report that Wu Zhi was begging to see him, he immediately laughed: "I only know that there are many brave men in the mountains. Waiting for the plan, unexpectedly returning at this time, it can be regarded as a force - it can be seen that we are doing such a great thing, and the sky will help! Gentlemen, sit down, the old man will go see the fellow first."

Those people stood up respectfully and sent Tong Guan away.

Tong Guan said "this guy, that guy" behind Cao Cao's back, but he gave a lot of face to his face. He came to the door to greet him in person, led several people into the living room, and gave them tea. As soon as he was informed, he didn't even hide how to share the merits with the various Jiedu envoys.

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded again and again and said: "It's rare for you to have such a heart. These ten old guys are united in one body, and they have always been proud. They know that you are my favorite general, and now they have suffered from you. Because of human feelings, in the future when they attack Liao, they can't help but take their lives."

When I looked at Wu Song again, I was even more pleasing to the eye, and immediately decided to report Wu Song as the seventh-rank Wuyi doctor and confer the post of governor of Gaotang Prefecture, so that he will take up the post soon.

Cao Cao's heart moved. The original governor of Gaotang Prefecture was Gao Lian's younger brother Gao Lian, who was killed by Zhou Tong when he conquered Liangshan. From this point of view, Tong Guan wanted to seize Gao Lian's original power.

Immediately took the opportunity to say: "Enxiang, my younger brother is excellent in military art and martial arts, enough to be alone, but he is a straightforward person, afraid of being difficult to get along with civil servants. There is a Huangzhi County in his hometown, who has always been on good terms with Brother Wu. If you get this person It will be of great use to rule in Gaotang Prefecture and attack Liao in the future."

Tong Guan nodded again and again, and said: "Your thinking is really reasonable, and don't worry, this matter is all on the old man, and I will tell you to wait until you have no worries."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "There is another thing that needs to be reported to Enxiang. This time, Tianhu's lair, Qin County, was taken down, and a woman named Fan Ji was obtained. She was really beautiful. The general thought about it privately. She was so beautiful, except for officials. Who has the blessing to enjoy it? So bring it to Enxiang's residence."

Tong Guan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "It's rare for a fierce general like you to have such ingenious ideas, please come up to the hall and let the old man watch it."

Cao Cao followed the order to attract beautiful woman Fan to see him, and after a short while, the beautiful woman walked into the hall, as if a light suddenly lit up in the hall, even Lu Junyi, a hero who never loves women, was dumbfounded .

Tong Guan lost his voice and said: "Ah, you really have an overpowering appearance, a shameful appearance with a closed moon!"

He looked at Fan Meiren, and when he looked at Cao Cao again, he couldn't help being vigilant, thinking that such a beautiful woman, I, a childless woman, would be tempted, but you are willing to give it up, which shows that you must be an ambitious person.

Then he said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the official family will be more happy to have this girl than to kill Tian Hu. This credit is enough to make you go straight to Qingyun, and after the old man arranges, you can personally present the beauty, which is also a reward for your hard work." A tough fight."

Cao Cao thought that's all, your official family and I were at Shishi's house back then, but we had met face to face, and it's okay if we don't see each other. .

Hastily waved his hand: "Enxiang, the last general is your general, the contribution of the last general is the credit of the envoy, besides, the warriors of my generation are rude, but the officials are as delicate as heaven and man, how can they stain his eyes?" ? In the end, there is no way to go, only to be kind and beautiful."

What kind of person is Tong Guan?Whether Cao Cao is sincere or not is naturally difficult to hide from his eyes. Seeing Cao Cao's refusal is extremely firm, he doubts his previous judgment.He nodded and said: "That's all right." Immediately call someone to tidy up a small courtyard, and invite that beauty Fan to stay in temporarily, take a bath and rest, and wait for the spirit to recover before looking for an opportunity to offer treasures.

After the beauty went down, Tong Guan looked at Cao Cao intently, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, I think you are my own, and I want to ask you the truth. When a man sees this kind of beauty, he would rather kill his head than get his hands on him. Why do you Are you willing to sacrifice?"

Only then did Cao Cao realize Tong Guan's suspicion, and cursed secretly: "Old eunuch, you are so suspicious, so it turned out that I was asking me to present my beauty in person, but it was a temptation!"

But there was a look of self-pity on the face: "I dare not hide from my kindness. If I have the appearance of my younger brother, I am afraid that this woman will be really hard to let go. Just look at my kindness, this kind of appearance, even if the woman How can you be willing to submit temporarily? As the days go by, many disputes will arise..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and sighed, "Actually, let's not say that this woman doesn't like her. Even if she wanted to serve the country as a Forbidden Army, because of her short stature, it was hard to get her wish. If it wasn't for General Liu to take care of her and be kind to her Abandoned in appearance and promoted repeatedly, how can I be where I am today?"

Although his words were only a few short sentences, they immediately dispelled Tong Guan's doubts. Tong Guan couldn't help nodding his head: the imperial army always recruits soldiers with "soldier appearance" as a reference. It's really difficult for a short guy like him The threshold of entry is only people like the old man. Seeing that he is talented, he is willing to reuse him. If it is Gao Qi, Cai Jing and others, who will pay more attention to him?No wonder he is so loyal to the old man!

The doubts disappeared, and there was even a melancholy feeling of the same degenerate people in the world: the old man looks talented, but unfortunately he has no eggs in his crotch. Although this guy has eggs, he is short and ugly. Those who only care about appearance, how do they know us? Are these men heartbroken?

Immediately got up, patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, and said seriously: "You are also a Jiedu envoy now. In the future, I will wipe out Liao with troops. You should work hard. Who can say that the position of a prince is unattainable? A dignified husband, but you don't have to use your appearance. Self-suffering."

Cao Cao thought to himself, I am sorry for your mother, with a grateful expression on his face: "The kind words of kindness, kindness, and kindness will always be remembered in my heart."

He also asked Wu Song to push five carts full of treasures to the front of the hall, and led Tong Guan to have a look. Tong Guan smiled more and said kindly, "It's rare for you to have such filial piety. It shows that the old man has a good eye for people."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Let you little brothers wait a moment, you go to the study with the old man, and introduce some people to you."

Cao Cao respectfully followed him to the study. There were already three people sitting there, and they got up together when they saw someone coming.

Tong Guan coughed and said: "Let me introduce you, this one is Qingzhou Jiedu envoy Wu Zhi promoted by the old man, you should not judge people by their appearance, Wu Zhi is not tall, but he is very ambitious Qing and Zhan Tianhu have made great contributions and are also famous in the rivers and lakes. The heroes of Shandong and Hebei are all called "Wu Mengde". A gentleman may not be able to outshine him."

Cao Cao hurriedly cupped his fists: "Ah, Mr. Wu is ashamed of what Enxiang said. There are all kinds of wars. If Enxiang is not able to command effectively, how can the last general wait for little merit?"

Tong Guan satisfied with a smile, pointed to the other people and said: "These are also the old man's confidantes, this one is Ma Zheng, a doctor of Wuyi, who is capable and calm, I want to use him as a trainer for the Dengzhou regiment; this one is the founder of the National Railway Whip King Huyanzan's great-grandson, Huyanqing, is proficient in Jurchen language, and I want to name him as the commander of the Dengzhou Navy; as for this Zhao Liangsi, his surname was bestowed by the emperor himself, and he is also the first advocate of the plan to unite the Jin Dynasty and destroy the Liao Dynasty .”

The four greeted each other, said they had admired them for a long time, exchanged pleasantries, and took their seats.

Tong Guan slashed and said: "The emperor has been persuaded by the old man. From next month, he will change the Yuan and reconcile. He will send people from Dengzhou to cross the Bohai Sea, led by Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing, and go to Beidi to buy horses. In order to visit King Jin’s court and discuss with the wolf lord about attacking the Liao Kingdom!”

Looking at Cao Cao, he said, "I was worried that you would not come back after a fierce battle, but I am glad that you are back in time. It is a great fortune. This time, you will also quit your hard work and go with the fleet. You have brothers who are good at martial arts. Why don't you go?" Bring a few more, you must know that those Jurchens have not been enlightened for a long time, do not know literary talent, and blindly practice martial arts, it is inevitable that there will be martial arts performances, you bring a few good men, and on such occasions, I will show off the prestige of my Song Dynasty!"

It turned out to be the case.

When Tong Guan said this, Cao Cao probably understood his position. On this trip to the Kingdom of Jin, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing were in charge of discussing literature, and he was in charge of discussing martial arts, so as not to underestimate the military power of the Song people.

Immediately clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, Enxiang! If you talk about using martial arts, there are indeed several athletes under the general's command. If you lose your prestige, the general will come to see you."

The next day, Tong Guan ordered Cao Cao to return to Qingzhou first, and Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing also ordered to go to Dengzhou to prepare. They made an appointment to go to sea in Dengzhou on November .

Not to mention Cao Cao rushing along the road, just say that he walked for three days, Tong Guan went to see that beauty Fan every day, on this day, he saw her red lips, white teeth, full of energy, exhausted from the hasty journey, and was overjoyed immediately After giving detailed instructions, he invited officials to come and sit at home.

When the official's family arrived, Tong Guanzao laid out delicious food and wine, first invited the official family to sit down, and lifted the gauze curtain on the wall with his own hands, revealing the geographical map of Jinzhong painted on the wall!

At this time, the victory reports of all the armies and horses have arrived one after another. The officials only know that they have won the battle, but how can they have the time to take a closer look?He was waiting for Tong Guan to explain it to him. When he saw the huge map, he immediately lifted his spirits. He smiled, took a sip of wine, took a bite of vegetables, chewed, and leaned back comfortably, revealing that he was listening to the story. Come on.

Tong Guandao: "Officials, Wang Qing's remnants made a big fuss in Xijing earlier. Hebei Tianhu sent many soldiers and horses to help him, but they were all wiped out one by one by the old slave's plan. He doesn't know how powerful he is. Self-reliant, the old slave made a plan to divide the troops among the four routes, and the soldiers of the four routes fought each other, but it was so..."

He was full of energy, and his voice was full of emotion. He added fuel and vinegar to the battles that Cao Cao told him, and told the officials one by one. Every joint, he said that he had prepared a kit in advance, and Cao Cao and others followed suit.

"Liu Yanqing and Wu Zhi are on the two roads. The old slave told them to go northward by water. It is expected that there will be no sailors at the beginning of the bandits. Sure enough, the bandits along the road can only stare blankly on the shore and are killed by our army until Qinyuan. , but the old slave thinks, among the bandits, there may not be no resourceful people, if there are wise men, they will attack with water, so the first kit I prepared is to tell them to open it when they reach Qinyuan Baili!"

"According to the old slave's thinking, if the old slave uses troops and there is no navy to fight against the enemy, he will naturally build a dam to store water. When the enemy navy arrives and let go of the dam, how will those ships survive the flood?"

The official was very engrossed in the drama, and quickly spit out the wine in his mouth, showing an anxious look: "Ah, the bandit soldiers probably couldn't think of it? Otherwise, wouldn't my navy be in a terrible situation?"

"The officials don't have to worry about it!" Tong Guan smiled confidently, like Zhuge Zhiliang: "The old slave wrote in the kit: the dam is broken, the water is urgent, and even the boat can be broken!"

The official slapped his thigh: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Isn't that Cao Mengde's chain boat? Oh, ah, clever, fire can break chain boats, but chain boats can break water schemes. These boats are connected together. Let the wind and waves rise, and my soldiers should also sit on the swings."

Tong Guan was shocked immediately: "Ah! Your Majesty is the real wise man. I spent seven days and nights thinking about breaking his flood plan before I came up with this chain ship plan, but Your Majesty knew it immediately after hearing it. Your Majesty, you If you lead the army, who is your opponent from ancient to modern times? Could it be that this is the reason why the capable are omnipotent?"

The official laughed loudly: "You don't have to underestimate yourself, Privy Councilor. If I don't have your advice and inspiration, I'm afraid it will take me a while to come up with a way to break it. How about you talk about the future?"

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Liu and Wu Jiedu used this strategy. They are as stable as a mountain, and they sit and watch the waves come and go. When the bandits saw them, they only thought that the officers and soldiers had the help of gods, and they were so scared that they surrendered."

The official said with a smile: "In this way, this road is a big victory."

"Great victory? More than that!" Tong Guan said, "They went all the way to Qinyuan, and I have a second kit, which contains Tian Hu's countermeasures against my four-way conquest!"

"I have already predicted that when dealing with the east and west, the thieves must use elite soldiers and brave generals to defend against danger..." He gestured on the map as he spoke, and his words became more and more sonorous: "The real main force must go north to seize Taiyuan and seize the land." After passing the Yanmen Pass, in this way, it will be bordered by the Liao Kingdom, if I am in a hurry to suppress him, I will go directly to the Liao Kingdom, and from then on, the land of Shanxi will no longer be mine!"

"Ah! What a Tian Hu!" The official was so frightened that he overturned his wine glass, jumped up, and looked at the map carefully: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous, if Aiqing hadn't seen through his tactics, I would really give him Success!"

Tong Guandao: "It is clearly written in the minister's kit: three-way blocking, north-road decisive battle, unite Liao for self-defense, don't ignore it! Divide the army for a surprise attack, attack front and back, under the city of Taiyuan, the bandit chief will give the leader!"

The officials were delighted when they heard it, and said repeatedly: "Tell me in detail!"

Tong Guan then talked about how Liu Cao divided his troops, how he fought against Taiyuan, how he defeated Xu Jing, and how he captured Tian Hu. Happy, happy!"

Tong Guan's narration is all about the effect as the cause. It really seems that the overall situation of the war is in his belly, and the official listened with relish.

Especially when it comes to killing Tian Hu privately, Tong Guan said: "At that time, the generals took that Tian Hu, according to the law of the country, they should have taken him to the capital, and it was right to cut him into pieces, but this old slave had another idea. Therefore, I ordered the officer to cut Tian Hu on the spot."

The official wondered, "Why?"

Tong Guan smiled slightly, leaned forward and squatted down, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Does the official know how Tian Hu, a mere Orion, changed his body and made such a big commotion?"

I asked the officials for a while: "I have been thinking about it these days, but I can't understand it. In this world, the people are happy and the world is peaceful. How can he dare to rebel? How can someone follow him?" ? It really confuses me."

Tong Guan's eyes widened, and he revealed the answer: "It's just because Tian Hu snatched a peerless beauty. This beauty not only has the beauty of a country, but also has a very precious horoscope, which makes her husband very prosperous! Thinking of this Tian Hu, he is a humble man. That’s all for my husband, he became the grass head king after being prospered by this woman! It’s a pity that his own horoscope is too scribbled to suppress this fortune, and my great generals of the Song Dynasty are all descended from the stars in the sky to assist the sage. , This is how he was wiped out, the old slave killed him in advance, just to cut off his luck, and then set his mind on that beauty!"

The officials are frivolous by nature, and they like this kind of weird talk the most. Hearing that the words are true, he said happily, "There is such a strange woman? Have you ever succeeded?"

Tong Guandao: "After beheading Tian Hu, I ordered Wu Jiedu to raise a strong army to attack Qin County by surprise and snatched this girl in one fell swoop! Then she was sent to the capital, and now she is raised in the old slave's mansion! Your Majesty, Wu Jiedu is right! Good: This kind of stunning beauty is suitable for ordinary people to touch, and only the supreme can enjoy it!"

He secretly said in his heart: Wu Zhi, you are loyal to me, and the old man will naturally repay you. This sentence is worth 50 years of your hard work!
The officials were overjoyed when they heard this: "What kind of martial arts is this? Aiqing rewarded him heavily for me. Where is that beauty now?"

Tong Guan stood up, clapped his hands, and the orchestra sounded immediately. Tong Guan said with a smile: "Officials, the beauties are coming, and the old slaves will retreat!" To Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji took a closer look, and suddenly a silver thread fell from the corner of his mouth. Xiaolong, who has always been low-key since he was kicked, was encouraged to raise his head for the first time without strong drying medicine!

There are different teachings: in front of the court, there is a loyal minister, and in the tent, Tingting is a sleeping beauty.What is more valuable than beauty and loyalty?Officials are full of thoughts of spring.
