Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 361

The Mulingwo Ridge is more than four hundred miles long and over a hundred miles wide, with numerous peaks and ridges, vast and vast.

Among them is a canyon trail, which just runs across the east and west, with the Qiganling Racecourse to the west and the Mudan River at the east exit.

The canyon road is winding and narrow, at most it can only accommodate two or three people abreast, the ground is also rough and uneven, it is very difficult for horses to stumble and stumble.

The crowd simply led the horses and walked with the torches attached, just like a small long snake array, the snake's head is the "two-headed snake" Xie Zhen, and the snake's tail is the "two-tailed scorpion" Xie Bao.

It was late May at this time, and everyone was wearing leather clothes bought by Wulu. Although it was late at night in the dense forest, they didn't feel the cold, but they hated the mosquitoes disturbing people.

Fortunately, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao have a lot of experience. Although the plants in his house are quite different from those here, they still found some useful herbs, smashed them together, and applied them on the people and horses. Mosquito attack.

That night, everyone kept walking and walked fifty or sixty miles straight on the mountain road. Zhou Tong felt sorry for Wu Lu, and let her take a nap on the horse early, and his family took care of her carefully. Fortunately, there were a lot of horses, and they took turns driving her for a few miles without losing horsepower. .

At dawn, when everyone was walking, they saw a plain surrounded by peaks. Judging from its scale, it was much larger than the Qiganshan horse farm.

Looking around, the ground is full of green grass, and there is a bright spring in the middle. Hundreds of acres of fertile fields have been cultivated in all directions. Not far away, there is a small village with big logs as walls and bark as the roof. There are hundreds of houses, with an air of forgetting the common world, as if breaking into a peach blossom garden.

Such a good scene, everyone couldn't help cheering, Wu Lu woke up rubbing her eyes, looked around, and cheered: "It's a tribe in the mountains, go and ask them for a bowl of hot water."

The people led their horses away slowly, and the strong women and old women in the village were all fetching water by the spring, and when they saw the people coming, they got up in panic, with terrified expressions.

Wu Lu jumped off the horse, took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Hi everyone, we are passing by and would like to ask you for a bowl of hot water."

Those people backed away again and again, but no one answered, and each of them trembled, as if they were terribly frightened.

Xie Zhen was puzzled and said, "It's strange, why are the wild people living in the mountains so timid?"

Meng Kang looked down at the color of his own clothes, touched his head, and asked in puzzlement, "Could it be that we are dressed in Jurchen clothes and have Han hairstyles, so they are surprised?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "No, there are no Hans in the north. They are so afraid of people. I'm afraid there are bandits and bullies around here."

At this moment, Shi Qian pulled Cao's sleeve and signaled with his eyes. Cao Cao followed his line of sight and saw an eight or nine-year-old child behind the crowd, who was sneaking back to the village, so he waved his hand to tell Shi Qian not to say anything .

Not long after, only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and three old men who could not tell their age came riding three old mixed-haired horses.

The three old men were not much better, only one in the middle was holding a short spear in his right hand, but his left arm was broken at the elbow, and the other two were holding bows and arrows. It was only when people got closer that they were missing a spear leg.

The three old men galloped up to the women and children to block them, hurriedly looked them up, and the one in the middle spoke something.

They seemed to speak the Jurchen language, but it was extremely difficult to understand. Cao Cao and the others frowned—they had no problem communicating with the Jurchen at this time, but the old man could only understand -% of what he said.

Fortunately, there was a real Jurchen, Wanyan Wulu, who finally understood the other party's language, and immediately translated for her: "They asked who we are and why we came here?" Then she turned to the old men and said, "We are passing guests. , want to buy some hot water with you..."

She originally wanted to talk about begging, but now seeing these people in shabby clothes, she couldn't help feeling pity, so she changed her words to buying, and wanted to take the opportunity to give him some money.

The old man in the center looked everyone up and down, his expression gradually softened, and he turned his head and said a few words to the women and children. After hearing this, the women and children all heaved a sigh of relief, no longer panicked, and went back to the village one after another.

Wu Lu frowned and said: "The old man said, we are not members of the Fish Scale Army, he sent someone to go back to boil some hot water and fetch some food."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "They are good people. Just ask them, who are the Yulin Army?"

Wu Lu asked according to her words, those old men showed anger, and babbled for a while, the three of them spoke to each other, danced and looked very excited, the more Wu Lu listened, the more embarrassing her face became.

Zhou Tong said angrily: "What did they say? Do you dare to be rude to you?"

Wu Lu shook her head, bit her lips, looked a little sad, and said in a low voice, "These people... were originally my Jurchen soldiers, but because the boss was seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, my father gave this land to They, let them bring their clansmen to live here..."

Cao Cao looked around, nodded and said: "This place is not small, and the surrounding products are abundant. If we work hard, open more fields, add hunting, fishing, and gathering some medicines and fruits, more than a thousand people can have enough food and clothing."

Wu Lu shook her head and said: "They originally consisted of fourteen veterans, with a family of no more than a hundred people. Everyone farmed, fished and hunted, and their life was enough... But my father... the year before last was not far away. A Wanjin Mountain, together with hundreds of miles of land nearby, was given to the Notre Dame Palace. The fish scale army is a subordinate of the Notre Dame Palace, and they often come to blackmail them. Killing people, many of their old brothers died at the hands of these people. The women were afraid before because they thought we were members of the Fish Scale Army."

Zhou Tong wondered: "What is the Palace of the Holy Mother? Is it where your mother lives?"

Wu Lu rolled his eyes at him, shook her head and said, "My queen mother will naturally live with my father! The Palace of the Holy Mother is a palace dedicated to the Virgin of Wuling. I know the Virgin of Wuling. I heard that she is the most powerful shaman of Jurchen. , has lived for 800 years, has boundless mana, and married a dragon as his wife—I only knew that the Notre Dame Palace is in Wanjin Mountain, but unexpectedly that mountain is here.”

The brothers looked at each other after hearing this, and Fan Rui suddenly sneered and said, "Seven 800 years? What a breath! Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain has amazing mana, and he has not lived for hundreds of years. Yehu Chan is a heretic, boasting and tricking those ignorant people to worship her. If I meet Fan, I want him to know how powerful I am as a monk in the Central Plains!"

Thinking of Fan Rui's ability, everyone became wary, and laughed: "In this way, it would be better to meet this woman, firstly, to know the methods of Brother Fan, and secondly, to eliminate harm for the local people."

At this time, the women and children came back again, holding earthen jars and basins in their hands. The hot water boiled with some fruit in the jar was fragrant, and the pancakes were made of unknown materials. They looked rough, but they were steaming hot.

They walked all night, although they had dry food on their bodies, how could cold food compare with hot food?Can't help but reach out to pick it up.

Cao Cao was vigilant, and said calmly: "Half of the brothers will eat first, and eat slowly. After half an hour, the other half of the brothers will not be too late to eat."

He spoke Chinese, and those Jurchen mountain people even spoke Jurchen dialect so weirdly that they couldn't understand him.

But Wu Lu glanced at Cao Cao and thought to herself: This brother of the Wu family is so cautious, just like my father. "

Everyone finished eating one after another and rested for an hour or two. Feeling that most of their energy had recovered, Xu Guanzhong flipped through the map and said: "There are still thirty or forty miles before we can go out of the mountain. I will go out in one breath and find a big road." It’s safe for some boats to go down the Mudan River and spend the night on board.”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile, "Guan Zhong thought carefully, that's how he should act."

After finishing speaking, he took out a few pieces of silver from his bosom and handed them to the old man with the broken arm.

The old man shook his head repeatedly, pointed at the arrow on the horse's back, and muttered something.

Cao Cao looked at Wu Lu, and Wu Lu said, "He said he wanted money but it was useless. He asked if you could give him a pot of arrows. He has lived enough and wants to avenge his old brother before he dies."

Cao Cao looked at the three crippled old men in surprise, frowned and said, "They are meritorious ministers who once shed blood for your father, but were bullied by the Laoshizi fish scale army to such a field, why don't they report to the government ?”

Wu Lu frowned, chatted with the three old men, blushed, and said to Cao Cao: "The Holy Mother of Wu Ling promised my father that in ten years, I will help him train three thousand fish-scale troops, not afraid of guns." Even if you slash with a knife, you are not afraid of flooding and burning, my royal father is greedy for her army, so she will take whatever she asks, even if you report it, it will be useless—how can I, my royal father do this!"

Cao Cao shook his head secretly, thinking that the three thousand invincible troops and a few useless veterans, for a hero like Aguda, naturally the former is the most important.This little princess is pampered and pampered, how can she understand his father's stomach?
He didn't want to say anything, just asked: "It's strange, since you are not afraid of being stabbed by a spear, you must be wearing some kind of armor. What is the use of arrows for this Jurchen old man?"

Wu Lu asked again, and said: "The armor of the Yulin Army is not easy to refine, and only a few hundred pairs are available now. Usually, the Yulin Army does not know how to wear armor when they come out, so they can be killed."

Cao Cao sighed, took two pots of arrows, and gave them to the three old men.The three old men suddenly became excited and thanked Cao Cao repeatedly.

Cao Cao waved his hand, but said to Xu Guanzhong: "When I get home, Guan Zhong remembers to remind my brother that I should have someone check it out carefully. I have always fought for us, and the brothers who were injured and left now have a good life. suffering."

Xu Guanzhong was overjoyed immediately: "This is what the lord of benevolence and righteousness should do! Brother, don't worry, I will call Brother Jiasui for this matter, and the two of us will handle it in person."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "What kind of lord of benevolence and righteousness? It's all about duty. Let's go, we have to hurry."

Everyone was about to leave when they suddenly heard the noise of people. Looking forward, there were more than a hundred strong and strong men walking towards this place, each of them looked arrogant. Judging by their clothes, they were Jurchens, Bohai people, and Han people. .

The expressions of the three old men changed, they quickly climbed onto the horse, pointed at those people and shouted loudly.

Wu Lu said anxiously: "Those people are the Fish Scale Army! The old men said that the food has been eaten up, and the things in the field haven't grown yet, so let them leave."

Those men laughed, and one of them said loudly: "Old man, I wanted to have fun with you, but you are so lucky that so many outsiders have come here. These people's horses are pretty good. They must have been stolen from Qiganling Racecourse. Right? Hahaha, grandpas got these horses, let your village go today, and help bury people later.”

Cao Cao shook his head and laughed: "Guan Zhong, can you hear me? These guys are very good at predicting things." He knew that these people were planted casually to do wrong things, but unexpectedly they hit the right one. Although they were not stolen, they were also worse. not far.

Xu Guanzhong also laughed and said: "It's not counting as predicting things like a god, otherwise you should know that their lives will be ruined here today."

Both of them are resourceful and resourceful. Seeing the rampant and domineering aura of these people, they knew that it was difficult to be kind, and they all became murderous.

Cao Cao said to Wu Lu: "Let's tell these old men, I will avenge them today. They have so many women and children to take care of, so they should save their old lives for a few more years."

Wu Lu was stunned for a moment, and told the three old men as she said. The three old men were stunned and looked at Cao Cao and others in disbelief.

Old Cao was too lazy to talk to the old men, so he yelled to himself: "Brothers, eat other people's food, and kill all the offal for cooking money! No one will be left alive, just kill and walk!"

These good men are naturally fond of fighting against injustice, and hearing Wu Lu tell the grievances of several Jurchen old men, their hearts were already burning with anger. At this moment, when they heard Cao Cao's order, they cheered in unison. go.

It's a pity that these fish-scale soldiers are all infantry, they are not out to fight, they don't wear armor, and their long weapons are only more than ten hunting forks, and the rest are short knives. Although there are more than a hundred people, how can they withstand such a big beast?

I saw Ali Qi rushing in immediately, and with a flick of the steel gun in his hand, he had already knocked down seven or eight people; Sun An followed closely, turning his two swords away like a meat grinder; Shi Qian stood on the horse , hit the slingshot indiscriminately, and he shot out countless eyeballs; Zhou Tong is the best at this kind of battle, screaming continuously in his mouth, and a halberd makes the murderous look.

There are also Xu Guanzhong, Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu and Li Jun, each guarding one side with horses. Anyone who escapes will be killed one by one by stabbing with a gun or bayonet, or shooting with a bow.

In just one stick of incense, all the hundreds of people were killed, only one who escaped the fastest was left, galloping back and forth on the road, Luan Tingyu rode a bay red horse, rolled away like a ball of fire, and stabbed the vest with a spear , the man was clever, and rolled around like a lazy donkey to avoid it, and shouted heart-piercingly, "Who are you! Our Lady of Wuling will not let you go!"

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he shouted: "Ting Yu, capture him and come back!"

Luan Tingyu stabbed out with two spears, breaking the man's legs and feet. He hid in a stirrup, pulled the man's vest and lifted it up. He galloped back and threw it on the ground.

Cao Cao said coldly, "Want to die? To live?"

When the man heard it, he burst into tears and said, "I want to live, I want to live!"

Cao Cao said: "If you want to live, and answer me truthfully, how many people are there in your fish scale army?"

The man cried: "There are four hundred and seventy-seven people, all of whom are heroes selected from various ethnic groups."

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "How can a good man deceive a poor man? What is your invulnerable armor?"

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know how to make that armor, but it's light and thin. When I wear it on my body, it won't catch fire, and it won't sink when crossing water. It won't get in with a knife, chop or spear."

Cao Cao nodded, and said again: "The Holy Mother of Wuling, what powerful people do you have under your command?"

The man shook his head and said: "The Holy Mother's family is the most powerful. Not only does she have supernatural powers, but she also has outstanding martial arts skills. She can also call her husband the Dragon King to help out. In addition, there are me and the fish scale army, and the servants in the palace... Oh, yes Yes! The Holy Mother also has a young disciple named Hamichi."

Cao Cao asked again, and learned that Wanjin Mountain, where the Notre Dame Palace was located, was more than ten miles ahead. On his only way, the Notre Dame Palace was built at the foot of the mountain, and there was a Thousand Flowers Cave on the top of the mountain. The place where the husband of the Holy Mother of Wuling, the "Dragon King", practiced, only looked like the Dragon King, but few people saw it.

After careful cross-examination, Cao Cao said: "You have answered all the questions. Although I don't know the truth, I don't want to kill you, so I have to let you go." Turning to the three Jurchen old men, he said: "I have killed this person. Let it go, if you want to dispose of it, please do it yourself."

The three old men suddenly showed simple and ferocious smiles, each drew out a dagger, dismounted and rushed towards the man.

The poor guy had his feet broken by Luan Tingyu's stabbing, and he didn't have a weapon, so he couldn't stop the three old men who were full of hatred, and suddenly let out screams.

As if Cao Cao had never heard of it, he summoned a group of brothers and said, "Unexpectedly, the Palace of the Holy Mother of Lao Shizi is just in the way of our way. Look at this man's demeanor and domineering tightness. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to wait for a good life." , when the generals will be killed, there are still more than people in these fish-scale troops. If they are not wearing armor, they are naturally worthless.

Xu Guanzhong frowned and said: "Brother, apart from these fish-scale troops, you should also consider the abilities of the Wuling Virgin Mary. If she shows off her sorcery, Brother Fan will deal with her. If she recruits the Dragon King, what should she do?" ?”

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Dragon people live in the deep sea or in rivers and rivers! How can a mere cave be a place where dragons are hidden? If my guess is correct, the so-called Dragon King and Jiaolong are just lies, and most of them are the old lady who pretends to be a ghost. , I have a big snake in my house.”

Xie Zhenjie Bao heard the words, his spirit was shaken immediately, and he stepped forward and said: "Brother, if it is really a dragon or a jiao, my brother dare not pretend to be able to deal with it, but if it is just a long worm, it is not my brother's bragging. Well, my two brothers work together, if I don’t take off its skin to make boots for my brothers, I’m not worthy to be the leader of the Dunzhou hunters!"

Cao Cao said happily: "If your brother can deal with this guy, I have a little strategy for you. I would like to discuss it with you brothers-we might as well do this, this, this, and then this..."

All the brothers became more and more delighted as they heard it, and they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

Xu Guanzhong also said: "It can still be like this, most of the time it will be successful, not only cross the road safely, but also get hundreds of good armors from it!"

There are different religions: the Notre Dame Palace at the foot of Wanjin Mountain, Wuling shamans practice magical powers.Supernatural powers are invincible for days, and heroes can slay giant dragons by themselves.
