Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 333

There is nothing new under the sun, and this is true.

For example, the romantic strategic idea of ​​"crossing the sea to search for the northern country to form an alliance and attack the enemy's upper and lower sides" is not a new idea.

For example, the master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the artist Li Jing.

As the father of the famous artist Emperor Li Houzhu, Li Yu's body of artistic bacteria is obviously the result of perfectly inheriting his father's blood.

"The drizzle dreams of returning to Jisaiyuan, and the small building blows through the Yusheng cold."

"Blue birds don't send messages from outside the clouds, but lilacs are empty and sad in the rain."

"There is no letter from the swan geese on the sand, and there are partridges crowing among the bamboos."

……

Reading these delicate and melodious poems, it is natural to see his talent - although he is slightly inferior to his son, he should be far better than Zhao Ji.

This artist emperor, in the third year of Zhou Shizong's Xiande, "Chen Chuyao, a doctor in the dispatching department, took heavy coins and floated into the Khitan to beg for soldiers. The Khitan could not send troops for it, but stayed at Chuyao."

The Khitan people refused to send troops, but they kept the envoys behind, probably because they thought, "You are quite courageous, why don't you keep doing things for our wolf lord."

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been six years since Taiping Xingguo.

This year, the suspect of the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle, the hero of Xiao Zhou Houtu, a generation of car god Song Taizong, wanted to avenge Gao Lianghe's forced racing, and wanted to march into Khitan again.

But thinking about how badly Gaolianghe was beaten, he also came up with the idea of ​​attacking from both sides. The car god chose the Bohai country.

The country of Balhae is a small country north of Koryo.The Khitan once attacked Fuyu City and changed it to "Dongdan Mansion", which was regarded as the Khitan's enemy, but the chariot god did not regard the other party as an equal ally, "I gave the king of Bohai an edict to send troops to respond to the king's division."

The god of chariots generously promised, "On the day when the Liao Dynasty is destroyed, the earth and the universe will be secluded, and they will return to China and North Korea. Outside the desert, we will all be with each other."

All the great rivers and mountains belong to me, and everything outside the desert is given to you.

The people of Bohai are not stupid, and they don't even make sense of it. According to historical records, "there is no one in Bohai."

Five years later, in the third year of Yongxi (986), Che Shen repeated his old tricks and sent people across the sea to seek alliances. This time, the target was Goryeo, and his attitude was still condescending. There is nothing wrong with it at all, but Goryeo has been perfunctory and has no choice but to let it go.

Eight years later, four years after arriving in Chunhua, the Khitan invaded Goryeo, and Goryeo was rolling all over the ground. Remembering the car god's invitation, he resolutely decided to send troops to attack Khitan. However, at the age of 55, The old and sick car god, who has long since lost his original ambition, sighed, and sadly refused—"Bei Pu Ning, don't lightly fight and make trouble for the country, but give him an imperial edict to comfort him, and generous gifts to send his envoy back."

Now the wheel of history is turning, and it is finally the turn of the successor to the title of emperor of art, the grandson of the car god, the painter Zhao Ji, to realize this great idea of ​​cross-sea alliance.

Chonghe first year, November, th.

At the coast of Penglai, Dengzhou, there is a cliff more than feet high, with ocher red stones, protruding to the north. It is called Tianheng Mountain. It was named after Tianheng, the king of Qi, stationed troops here during the conflict between Chu and Han.

Tianheng Mountain is also called Dengzhou Cape, and because it is located in the extreme north of Qilu, it is also called Laobei Mountain.

If you go north from this mountain to Nanjiao, the southernmost tip of Liaodong, and draw a straight line of two to three hundred miles, it will be the boundary between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. The island is nearby.

Two years after Song Taizu Jianlong, Jurchens sold horses from Liaodong to Su County to Dengzhou to sell horses for several consecutive years. Rent a tax, order to rule the horses paid by the Jurchens on the ferry."

Ma Zheng stood on Tianheng Mountain, pointed to the north, and said in a loud voice: "My lords, what I pointed to is the route of the Jurchen trade in the past. The Koryo tribute is also along this road. We will go north from here. Arrive in Liaodong in one day, travel li to the north, and you will find the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin! Pay according to the key, give him a gift, and narrate the things they came to Dengzhou to sell horses in the past to show the old good. Then pass on the edict to the officials, and then we can adapt to the situation and mention the matter of joining forces to destroy the Liao Dynasty to see what he means. If the Jin people are also interested, we can return with honor, and the imperial court will send important officials to discuss an alliance with him. On the day of the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, we are all heroes."

Most of the people cheered after hearing this, but Cao Cao and others just opened their mouths as if to deal with it: the day when the Liao Dynasty will be destroyed, I am afraid it will be the time when the Kingdom of Jin goes south.

Ma Zheng didn't notice the strangeness of Cao Cao and others, and he was still in high spirits. He ordered his entourage to fetch wine and invited everyone to drink together—in addition to Cao Cao's 20 people, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing also had or followers, and there were dozens of them in Dengzhou. There are two elite soldiers, and Gao Yaoshi, who fled from the north, as a guide, not counting the sailing and sailing army under the mountain, there are more than a hundred people in total.

After drinking, Ma Zheng led the people down the mountain and boarded the boat at the port. The boat was the best among the seagoing ships Mengkang had built, and it could carry 600 people.

Li Jun and Zhang Shun boarded the boat, and they returned to the sea like dragons. They gave orders loudly, commanded a group of sailors, and set sail in an orderly manner. When they got out of the port, they broke through the waves and headed north like a sharp sword.

Li Jun and Zhang Shun have practiced in the Dengzhou Navy for the past year, and they have long been used to seeing the sea. However, San Ruan was born in Shijie Village and grew up in Liangshanbo. When has he seen such a boundless scenery?The three shouted with joy, and when Ruan Xiaoqi was excited, he jumped up the mast like a monkey, climbed to the highest point, and howled loudly to express his joy.

In the cabin, Ma Zheng felt that the boat was jolting like a galloping horse, which was quite different from boating on the river. He became very nervous for a while, his face turned pale. Hearing Xiao Qi's continuous whistling, he couldn't help getting anxious, and turned the table As soon as the case was shot, he said angrily: "Who is outside? There are no rules! We are waiting to cross the sea this time. The mission is heavy, and it is like a march. Is it allowed to shout like this in the army?"

Hu Yanqing brought Wang Mei, Liu Liang and other six small schools under his command. His original intention was to serve as the commander of the navy, and he wanted these six to help him restrain the morale of the army.These six small schools are actually quite capable, but compared with Li Jun and Zhang Shun, they are nothing like that. Two, even Hu Yanqing didn't take them seriously.

Although Hu Yanqing is unhappy, but he thinks about the important things, he knows that as long as he completes the errands, he will be able to rise to the top, and he is only in the Dengzhou Navy, but he is temporarily suspended, so he doesn't take it seriously.

However, these six small schools did not have such a heart, they only hated Li Jun and Zhang Shun for stealing their limelight.

In the past few days, they had seen that the three of the Ruan family were getting close to Li and Zhang. When they heard Ma Zheng's attack, they were overjoyed. ! This fellow is belittling our army’s military discipline, and the last general will take him for questioning.”

Because of his childhood, when he made friends with Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing, Cao Cao was still modest in his words, but he had no scruples about others, rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and shouted in a deep voice: "Hmph, Ruan Xiaoqi is my martial artist. So-and-so's brother, who gave you the guts to find out what happened to him?"

Wang Mei was stunned when she heard this—these people on board included Ma Zheng, Hu Yanqing, and Cao Cao's cronies, as well as local officers and soldiers from Dengzhou. It was the sailor they found, and they were about to take the opportunity to save the two of them, but Cao Cao said it was his brother!
Cao Cao is a majestic Jiedu envoy, with a high position and authority, how dare he talk about it?Now he looked at Ma Zheng pitifully.

Seeing that Cao Cao was in the lead, Ma Zheng didn't want to provoke him, so he exchanged colors with Hu Yanqing, and said with a forced smile: "As expected of 'Wu Mengde', he really has a lot of friends. In fact, Wang Xiaowei also has good intentions, I'm afraid it will confuse the army."

Cao Cao laughed: "Doctor Ma is too worried. My brothers are all heroes of the lake and sea. Seeing the majestic sea, they will inevitably stir up their spirits. A long roar will do me a good job!"

Hu Yanqing saw that Ma Zheng looked worried, and was about to help out with a few words, when suddenly the speed of the ship dropped suddenly, and there was a commotion on the deck outside, and countless sailors shouted in panic: "Jiaolong! We have met a Jiaolong!"

Ma Zheng's complexion changed instantly, and his body trembled: "What? Dragon? What, what should I do?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but change his face slightly. After all, there are countless strange beasts in the vast sea. Although he is a hero, he can't help but feel small in this vast ocean. He took a deep breath and shouted: "Don't panic, let's see what is going on. What a monster."

After saying that, he pressed his knife and went out, but saw the sailors stopped the boat, all gathered at the bow, pointing into the sea and yelling, and some knelt and kowtowed. Two giant beasts in the water were fighting to the death, which happened to block the route.

The two water beasts stirred up the waves, but luckily the boat was big and there was no danger of overturning.

Cao Cao looked at it for a while and asked, "Which one is Jiaolong?"

The sailors next to him rushed to point and said: "The big one is the black shark, and the smaller one is the saw dragon. This saw dragon is the son of the dragon."

Cao Cao took a closer look, and saw that the big one was like a small boat, about one foot to five feet long, with a body like a spindle, a tall dorsal fin, a short nose and a wide mouth, and a very hideous figure.

Judging by the appearance and momentum of this black shark, it was supposed to be the overlord of the sea, but it happened to be crushed and beaten by the smaller ones.

The small one is actually about ten feet in size, its body shape is quite similar to that of a shark, but in front of its nose there is a flat beak that is more than three feet long, which looks like a broad sword, and its two sides are full of bone spurs, just like a saw.

But seeing this beast is nimble and vigorous, it circles around the black shark, avoids the big mouth of the black shark, shakes its head and tail from time to time, and the saw scratches the black shark, even if its skin is old and tough, it will inevitably be torn to pieces.

Cao Cao looked at it for a while, and felt that although the two water beasts were huge and brave, they didn't have any supernatural powers. Putting down his guard, he laughed and said, "Where are the flood dragons? They are clearly two big fish! Wouldn't it be a good meal to catch them? ?”

Those sailors were shocked, and said one after another: "That black shark can bite a person in half with one bite. It is the most vicious. There is no way to step on the waves and subdue the dragon. Who dares to pay attention to it? As for the saw shark, it is even bigger in the sea. A fish born of a dragon essence is a real dragon, who can beat me as a mere mortal?"

The words were not finished, but Ruan Xiaoqi was on the mast, shouting loudly: "Good fish, good fish, when grandpa was in Shijie Village, did you ever see such a big fish? And the one with the sword, cut it down!" By the handle, isn't it more domineering than Brother Huang Xin's Sangmen Sword? If this kind of good fish is allowed to pass by, the Dragon King will not agree to me!"

While talking, this guy was stripped naked, took out a chi and a half long and short water diverting knife, put it in his mouth, jumped straight out of the mast, condescending, flew straight five or six feet away, and when he fell into the water, his legs bent, A pair of kneecaps made of iron and steel hit the back of the black shark!

His weight of more than a hundred catties fell from a height, what a huge force?Even though it had the power to drain water, the black shark couldn't stand it, but with a puff, its back obviously folded down, a large amount of pink mist sprayed out from its mouth and nose, and the wounds on its body that were scratched by the sawfish were even worse. It was blood rushing wildly, and the huge body sank to the bottom of the sea.

The last thing Cao Cao saw was Ruan Xiaoqi riding on the back of the shark, stabbing it in the head with a sharp knife upside down.

Even though Lao Cao was so courageous, he was also frightened by Ruan Xiaoqi's reckless behavior. In his opinion, the so-called salvage was nothing more than javelins, bows and arrows plus fishing nets. Who would have thought that Ruan Xiaoqi jumped down like this? !

If there was only one black shark, maybe he would eat him and kill him, but the saw dragon next to him, how could he be willing to have his opponent who had fought so hard for a long time be taken away?
Cao Cao was so anxious that he leaned over to look, and sure enough, the saw dragon turned around and dived into the water.

"Ah! Xiao Qi!" Cao Cao stomped his feet anxiously. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two figures flying up. He hurriedly looked, but saw two brothers, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, naked like their brothers. Plop into the sea.

"Oh! Little Two, Little Five!"

Lao Cao was even more anxious now: "Quickly, put down the sampan!" However, the two beasts in the water stirred up the wind and the clouds, and the sailors feared them like tigers, so how could they listen to his orders?

"Brother Huarong, prepare your bow and arrow! Brothers Li Jun and Zhang Shun, hurry up and prepare to save people!"

What a good Cao Cao, after all, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, so he quickly ordered the three most reliable people, Li Jun and Zhang Shun said in unison: "Brother, don't worry! There are two of me, and the three of them will definitely be saved!" After taking off their clothes, each carried a water diversion fork, and was about to enter the water, when he saw a splash of water, Ruan Xiaoqi popped up, saw Li Jun and Zhang Shun about to get off, waved and said, "Don't bother you two brothers, my brothers will take care of themselves." Well cooked!"

After finishing speaking, he took a breath, and Gudu sank into the water.

Li Jun and Zhang Shun laughed and said: "This little Qi is really brave!"

Turning his head to look at Cao Cao, Cao Cao said decisively: "It's not when he was allowed to be brave, such a big fish can kill a person with one bite, but the two of you are still..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly saw the black shark, breaking through the water and floating up, without any movement, obviously dead.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Since one is killed, it should be no problem for the three of them to deal with one together?"

Li Jundao: "There are a lot of sharks in this sea area. If you smell blood, you will come. Hurry up and salvage this shark first."

The sailors of the Dengzhou Navy, let them go to the sea to fight, naturally dare not, but it is not a problem to help salvage, the guys are ready-made, and you are fighting for each other in a flash, and more than ten long hooks are put into the water, dragged The shark comes up.

This guy is big in the water, but it is even bigger when he fished it into the boat. A big man like Sun An is also extremely tall. There are more than two Sun Ans in this fish from head to tail.

Zhang Shun took a closer look and saw that the shark's head had been stabbed with more than ten knives, and the knives penetrated into the brain. He couldn't help sighing: "Xiaoqi is really amazing in water, and his tricks are amazing!"

At this time, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing came out to watch, and they were stunned to see such a big fish being killed, and when they heard that it was killed by Ruan Xiaoqi who had just screamed, Wang Mei and the others turned pale. .

After all, Ma Zheng is a bit more sophisticated, boasting again and again: "Sure enough, it is a strange person with ability who has such a strange practice. I don't think so, but it's a sign."

The sailors also praised in unison, only Hua Rong, with his arrow on the string, stared at the sea, and asked with concern: "His three brothers, why don't they come up now?"

There are different teachings: jumping into the waves, the means are amazing and courageous.From then on, don't praise the ruthlessness of the beasts, and Yan Luo Dao was spread all over Dengzhou.
