Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 359

Although the negotiation process was tortuous, the outcome was satisfactory.

After A Guda gave the banquet, Cao Cao and Hu Yanqing walked slowly out of the imperial city with the help of Ma Zheng.

It's not that he got drunk from drinking too much, it's just that when Lao Cao was violent before, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing shared the same voice, and they each overturned a few cases——

After Hu Yanqing took the door, after all, he still survived the physical fight, but Ma Zheng has thin skin and tender flesh, and he doesn't know any martial arts.

At that time his heart was surging, although he felt a pain in the back of his foot, he didn't pay attention to it. Later, the two sides were at war with each other, and he was nervous for a while, but he didn't notice it until the banquet was given, everyone relaxed, drinking and laughing, Ma Zhengfang felt that his foot was gradually hurting When I got up, not long after, the pain was unbearable, I endured it until the banquet was over, I got up and took a step, I yelled "Ah", my eyes turned black, tears flowed, how can I take a step?
It was A Guda who saw the situation and called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Apart from looking at him, his foot was already swollen like a steamed bun. The imperial doctor said that the bone in the arch of the foot was broken. Fortunately, Dr. Jurchen, even if he couldn't do anything, he has a unique way of treating this kind of trauma place.The imperial doctor first made a plaster with good medicines such as tiger bone and musk, and applied it externally, and then made deer fetal paste, bear bile powder, and pangolin powder with boiling hot rice wine, and took it internally. .

Ma Zheng was left with the help of Cao Cao's two left and right sides, consciously in a state of embarrassment and damage to the country, but unexpectedly, A Guda and others were talking about him behind his back: "That doctor Ma is clearly a useless and courageous rotten scholar, but Wu Zhi rose up to fight with us. When there is a fight, he dares to respond, which shows that the Song people's weakness may not be true, but when it comes to the joint, even those scholars dare to work hard."

Ma Zheng and others left the imperial city, and immediately packed up on the hour, waiting for the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin to be fully prepared, so that the two parties can set off conveniently.

Three days later, the team set off, and everyone drank and bid farewell. Except for the followers led by Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing, the Dengzhou sergeants and Lin Chong also set out on the road together, leaving only Cao Cao and a dozen or so brothers in Huining. The government is the quality.

After that, for many days, Aguda had a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days. He gave pearls when he got on his horse, and gold when he got off his horse.

Lao Cao's use of this, can't help but think of the past when he wanted to take back Guan Yunchang with kindness, and he felt amused while feeling emotional——

This is the reincarnation of the world, and the retribution is not good. Back then, I treated Yunchang no less than Jindi treats me today. However, Yunchang has the feeling of friendship in Taoyuan, he is in our camp, and his heart is with Liu Bei.Now the Golden Emperor wants to recruit me, but he doesn't know that I have the ambition to revitalize the Han family. Isn't it because I am in the north and my heart is in Qingzhou?

Hehe, in my previous life, I had nothing to fetch water from a bamboo basket. How can I taste this taste by myself?

Thinking of this, the feeling of homesickness intensified, but he was afraid that he would slip away too early. A Guda really doubted his identity, and sent people to catch up with Ma Zheng and others, wouldn't it be right and wrong?

So I endured it and stayed until late May.

At this time, Lao Cao had lived in the Jinhui Ningfu for more than a month. Calculating the time, the mission should have traveled two thousand miles, and it would be difficult for the Jin people to catch up with them.

On the night of May th, Cao Cao came back from a banquet at Aguda, gathered all his brothers, and made Shiqian stand guard on the roof, and discussed with them: "During these days, have you ever explored the geography of this place? If I want to go now, what path should I follow?"

Xu Guanzhong hurriedly went back to his room to get the bird map, and spread it out on the table. Cao Cao looked around, but saw that there were many blank spaces around Huining Mansion, but now there are mountains, rivers and water systems carefully drawn.

Then I heard Xu Guanzhong speak loudly: "For more than a month, all the brothers have been asking around, and all the results have been collected in my place. After deliberation, deletion and supplementation by my younger brother, I drew it as a picture. Brother, please see, if you follow the same path, you will travel thousands of miles. They all belong to Jurchen, if he sends troops to chase after him, it will be difficult to escape."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's natural, but seeing Guan Zhong's expression, there must be a clever strategy to teach me."

Xu Guanzhong raised his eyebrows and smiled, and pointed to where Huining Mansion is: "This Huining Mansion is where we are. The mountain to the east is called Mulingwo Jiling. The Jurchen language means old forest. This ridge is the rest of Changbai Mountain. More than miles south of Huining Mansion is Qigan Ridge, which is surrounded by mountains and is a place where Jurchen raises horses. We only went here in the name of watching horses, and all the brothers took the opportunity to change their horses. From the canyon to the east, across Mulingwo Jiling, you can reach the Mudan River. Along the south of the river for more than a hundred miles, there is a big river named Chanzhushui, which means Pearl River, the northern pearl produced by Jurchen, If you live in it, you can enter the sea along the river to the east!"

Cao Cao frowned and said, "It would be too far away from the Pearl River into the sea, and then to Dengzhou. We don't have a big boat, and the sea is unpredictable. If it is capsized, it will not be a loss."

Li Jun smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry. According to the map of Brother Guanzhong, this sea is shaped like a footbasin. It is in the middle of China and Fusang. Now it is almost summer, and the south wind blows from the north. There is no danger of being blown into the deep sea. When you go along the coast, you only need to go around Koryo to reach Dengzhou.”

Zhang Shun nodded beside him and said: "With the two of me here, don't worry, brother."

Seeing that the two generals of the navy had confidence, Cao Cao immediately took a picture of the map: "Wonderful! Since the brothers are confident, they will act like this!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Tong: "Brother, I have only waited for a day or two before leaving. Do you want to go with me or stay here as a son-in-law? Make up your mind quickly."

Zhou Tong stared at him, and yelled strangely: "Brother, is this little brother someone who values ​​sex and despises friends? I wait for my brother to live and die together, so naturally I will go with my brother!"

Cao Cao wondered: "Your princess, did you just let it go and ignore it?"

Zhou Tong smiled proudly: "If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since Wu Lu loves me, she should follow me and wait for the south!"

Luan Tingyu couldn't see his complacency, so he smacked his lips and said, "Twisting melons by force is not sweet, so don't force them."

Zhou Tong was suddenly annoyed: "Empty talk is always useless, brothers will see what I do tomorrow!"

The next day, Princess Wu Lu came to look for Zhou Tong as usual, Zhou Tong was sitting lazily in the yard, Wu Lu frowned suddenly: "Zhou Lang, why do you look unhappy?"

Zhou Tong shook his hand and sighed: "Wu Lu, I spend time with you every day, but my brother has been lonely for a long time, I think about it, I should stay in the hall to accompany my brother today. "

Wu Lu smiled and said: "Silly Zhou Lang, you are so loyal. If your brother is lonely, he can just find a wife. Could it be that he doesn't like my daughter from the Kingdom of Jin?"

Zhou Tong smiled wryly, "Follow me, you'll know at a glance."

Wu Lu followed him curiously, and the two turned to the backyard, but turned to the stables. Zhou Tong pointed to his green-maned horse and said, "I participated in martial arts in the Song Dynasty in the past, and defeated all the heroes in the world with a painted halberd." , the emperor saw that I was brave, and gave me a royal horse. It has been with me on the battlefield these years, just like my own brother. Now that I have you, it is still a lonely horse. Seeing it, I can't help but make me feel sad .”

Wu Lu opened her mouth in surprise, and after a while, two tears suddenly welled up from the corner of her eyes, and she was moved: "Unexpectedly, Zhou Lang is so benevolent, even he cares so much about horses. In fact, we Jurchens have always regarded horses as their own. For a good partner... that's all! If you want to find a companion for it, I will take you to Qigan Ridge today. There is a horse farm there. Are there any good horses? Naturally, let it find a good companion."

Zhou Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "If that's the case, how about taking all my brothers' horses for fun?"

Wu Lu said boldly: "Of course it doesn't matter. If you go and find a horse you like, you can just change it."

Zhou Tong immediately went to Lao Cao and others, and a group of people pretended to thank Wu Lu, got on their horses one after another, and headed for Qiganling.

Seeing that everyone was carrying their burdens, Wu Lu couldn't help but wondered: "Hey, it's not far there, we can go back and forth on the same day, why bother to bring luggage?"

Cao Cao smiled and was about to respond when he heard Zhou Tongdao: "Wu Lu, let's see!"

Wu Lu turned her head to look, and saw that Zhou Tong was waving a weird-looking sword in his hand. The sword was wide and long, round and without a point.

This sword was the long kiss of Ruan Xiaoqi who killed Saw Jiao when he was crossing the sea. He brought it all the way to the Kingdom of Jin. Later, he left it in a post in a hurry and was found by Meng Kang under the bed. The hilt of the sword was clasped tightly, like a sawtooth broadsword, but it was snatched by Zhou Tong, just to show off in front of Wu Lu.

Sure enough, Wu Lu forgot to ask about the baggage, Daqi said: "Hey, this sword is so weird!"

After finishing speaking, I stretched out my hand to touch it, and it became even more strange: "It's not gold or iron, but it seems to be some kind of bone."

Zhou Tong laughed and said: "Wu Lu is really smart, that's right, it's a bone! This is the bone of a sea monster sawing a dragon. It's a kind of dragon. It has the most ferocious nature. It only wants to eat people! When we crossed the sea, we happened to meet this beast in the sea. It was five or six feet long. It rolled in the water, and white waves beat the sky, almost capsizing our boat. Kneeled on the deck and kowtowed, saying that God forbids us to cross the sea, when Zhou heard this, he was furious!"

Wu Lu turned pale when she heard it: "Oh, this giant beast is really more terrifying than the giant python in the old forest, and it is even more invincible in the water. You should avoid it, why are you angry again? "

Zhou Tong said with emotion: "For this trip to the North Country, I had to talk to the officials so hard that the trip can take place. Firstly, what I did was a major national event, and secondly, I also went to a foreign country to find my destined good friend. Man, at that time, I managed to get to the sea, how could I retreat because of a mere dragon? I was so angry that I jumped into the sea, and the bird monster saw me in the water, flew over, and swung the saw sword to hurt me , I stepped on the waves to avoid it, and I whipped it to the head, smashing its skull into pieces, and dozens of sailors exhausted their strength before dragging it onto the boat..."

What he said was full of foam and spirit, and Wu Lu listened attentively, with admiration all over her face.

Cao Cao and other people watched Zhou Tong's performance, and they all thought that Zhou Tong taught Ruan Xiaoqi how to talk about ancient times on the boat when he came: "I will say that I did all the credit for you." Seeing him perform in person today, I know that this is still true Not only does it need a thick skin, but even the ability to explain is far better than ordinary people.

A group of people were rushing and listening to Zhou Tong's bragging. When he talked about how he challenged Guo Yaoshi and assassinated Dong Laokuang in front of the resentful army, they suddenly heard the sound of Bei's heels. Everyone was startled. Looking back, only Seeing the smoke rising from behind, Zhi Biaobiao stabs at Yuntian.

Cao Cao yelled: "Smoke and dust rushing into the night, it must be an elite teacher. Could it be that they came here for me? Listening to this movement, I'm afraid there will be more than a thousand soldiers and horses!"

Wu Lu stared, and shouted: "Brother, don't worry, I'll come out to play later, who dares to make trouble?"

Cao Cao wondered, "What does the princess call me?"

Wu Lu blinked her eyes: "Brother, if Zhou Lang calls you brother, if I teach you to be an envoy, you will be so unreasonable."

Cao Cao laughed, waved his hand and said, "My princess's siblings are the ones who decide. Don't be afraid that there are too many of them. Brothers rein in their horses and wait on the side of the road. Let's see who it is and why they came to chase me."

At that moment, all the brothers rode their horses to the side of the road, gave way to the road, and waited quietly.

Not long after, I saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them, leading a young general, not the other one, who fell from the horse in a martial arts competition with Shi Wengong and smashed the golden bullet in his nose!
Jin Danzi was startled when he saw Cao Cao and the others. He raised his hand and slowly slowed down.

These golden soldiers were really elite. From front to back, only relying on layer upon layer of hand gestures, they completed the deceleration movement while galloping. When the army stopped, the golden marbles just stopped in front of Cao Cao and the others.

Jin Danzi frowned and stared, swept Cao Cao's people away, and shouted: "Emissary Song, where are you sneaking around?"

Behind Zhou Tong, Wu Lu rode out, raised her brows slightly, and shouted: "Nephew Jintanzi, how dare you be rude to my friend?"

Jin Danzi was taken aback, obviously having a headache for this aunt who was two years younger than him but a generation taller, and said with a wry smile: "Aunt Wulu... I heard from my father that the emperor forbids you to have more contact with these Song people."

Wu Lu snorted coldly and said, "I can be friends with whomever I want. Father himself often treats the brothers of the Wu family to drink. He can be friends with Song people, so naturally I can, aunt! Hmph, you are aggressive Yes, are you here to trouble my friend?"

Jin Danzi shook his head, and said resentfully: "Emissary Song is the emperor's guest, so why should I trouble him? It was a Khitan captive captured by Lou Shimeng'an earlier, called Yelu Dashi, and he was silent. It sounded, they gathered more than a hundred Khitan captives, killed the little school they were imprisoned last night, seized the horse and fled, I went to capture him in the name of my father."

Yelu Dashi escaped?Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xu Guanzhong, the eyes of the two met, they were all happy: wonderful!In this way, the Jurchens must divide their troops to chase them in various directions, and when they turn around, they find that they and others have also run away, and if they want to send troops, they will probably not have enough manpower.

"Oh!" Cao Cao rolled his eyes, and suddenly pretended to be surprised: "This Yelu Dashi escaped, this is not a trivial matter! This guy has a deep prestige in the Liao Kingdom, and he is both civil and military. His skills are astonishing, which is enough to match him." Tens of thousands of elite soldiers!"

Jin Danzi said disdainfully: "It's ridiculous, if it's really so powerful, how could we have captured it?"

Shi Wengong said indifferently: "This guy's martial arts are very high, I spent a lot of effort to capture him alive that day."

"It was you who captured him!" When Jin Danzi saw Shi Wengong, his nose suddenly hurt, and then he became more aggressive, nodded and smiled grinningly: "Since you can capture him, I will not be weak to you! You just wait." Look, I will capture this fellow alive and bring him back!"

After finishing speaking, he gave a long howl like a wolf, hit his horse and left, followed closely by more than a thousand Jurchen knights, and disappeared from everyone's sight not long after.

Wu Lu waved her small hand to fan away the flying smoke, and said cheerfully, "My nephew is gone, let's hurry up too."

After walking for a short time, I saw a mountain peak, as majestic as a screen, and one of the peaks was so tall that it was as unique as a flagpole.

Wu Lu pointed and said, "This is the Qigan Ridge, our racecourse is inside!"

A few people turned along the path and walked another way. Suddenly, they saw a person galloping on a white horse. Dozens of Jurchen grooms chased after him, but the white horse was very handsome. The soldiers are thrown farther and farther.

Wu Lu praised: "This man's riding skills are really good, and his mount is also good... Hey! This horse looks so familiar, why is it so like my father's Zhaoyeyu lion?"

She stared blankly for a moment, until the man was a few feet in front of her, and then suddenly shouted: "Oh, it really is my father's BMW, this guy, this guy is a horse thief!"

When Zhou Tong heard this, was it okay?Immediately rushed out, turned the long halberd upside down, and swept across with the halberd shaft: "The horse thief, come down."

Unexpectedly, the knight was very agile. With a wave of his right hand, a leather whip was thrown out with all his strength. With a crisp sound, the halberd was swung away. Holding the saddle with his left hand, his whole body turned upside down, and he kicked Zhou Tong's chest.

Poor little overlord is devoted to showing off his might in front of his lover. Where has he ever seen the art of taking off on a horse and hurting people with his feet?This time, he was really unprepared, he screamed "Ouch", and he was kicked off the horse long ago.

Even Cao Cao's people did not expect the horse thief to use such a strange move.The horse and horse were fast, kicked Zhou Tong flying with one kick, and with more strength in their hands, they had already returned to the horse, and they were about to pass the crowd.

It was too late to say it, and then it was fast, the guy passed by all the heroes, suddenly a man flew out from the horse's back, jumped three feet lightly, and landed on the white horse's buttocks, but saw him bend his knees After a slight pause, let the horse's buttocks heave, it was as stable as a rock, and said with a grinning smile: "Hey, boy, do you still want to leave after hurting my brother?"

With a shake of his arm, a blade slipped from his fingers, and rested on the horse thief's neck.

The horse thief only felt a chill on his neck, and he couldn't help being shocked: When did I get stuck in the back?This kind of light work is really shocking!That's all, that's all, I didn't expect that my golden retriever, which runs all over the north, was actually folded here today - but I don't know where those Jurchen Tartars found such a master!

There are different teachings: the jade lock suddenly opens and the dragon enters the sea, and the golden rope tears the tiger back to the mountain.Stealing horses and golden retrievers howled furiously, and fleas were having fun on flying drums.
