Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 384
High above the sky, the bright moon hangs alone, and the bright brilliance that used to be beautiful is dimmed by the blazing wildfire.

On the undulating road, the horse's hooves are galloping.

Out of Anma Mountain and head south for more than ten li, you will arrive at Ping'anjing.

Along the way, Fujiwara Changmi rode a pony, stretched his neck comically, and told Cao Cao the layout of the city.

The shape of this city is based on Chang'an and Luoyang, and the north side is Da Nei Li, also known as Ping'an Palace, that is, the imperial city. All other government officials are within the imperial city.

The imperial city has a wall, and the wall is more than ten feet high. In terms of the stature of Fusang people, "the height is extremely difficult to climb."

The southern gate of the imperial city is called Suzaku Gate.Outside the Suzaku Gate, the Suzaku Avenue runs through the north and the south, evenly dividing Ping'an capital into two capitals. .

The left side of Suzaku Avenue is called Zuojing, also known as "Luoyang", and the right is called Youjing, also known as "Chang'an". There are hundreds of streets in the two capitals, all horizontal and vertical.

All around Da Nei Li are places where dignitaries live, and you can tell the clue by looking at their surnames——

It turns out that as far as the people of Fusang were concerned at that time, those who were not rich and powerful had no surnames.The dignitaries, the ministers of the capital, and the guardians of the various countries, among them, Fujiwara, Yuan, Hira, and Tachibana are the four leaders, which are called the four major clans.

The four major clans are branched and scattered, and many branches stand on their own. Just take the Fujiwara Kita family, one of the four Fujiwara families, as an example. They choose to use the street as their surname, such as Yiyi, Jiutiao, Wanli Xiaolu, etc., or take their own location as their surname. Surnames, such as Hino, Saiyuanji, Luwei, etc., and these streets and places are all around Ouchi, and others will know that they are the emperor's close ministers.

The book implies that civilians in Fusang have no surnames. This rule will last nearly a thousand years. When Emperor Meiji was in power, it was inconvenient to collect taxes and serve. For example, there are six young men and eight fat tigers in a village. Can you tell who is who?This made the people take their own surnames.

Later generations often think that the more characters in the surname, the more noble it is, which is also a misreading.For example, "Dashen Narrow Tun Cangtianbu" sounds like an arrogant samurai, but in fact it means "the side of the grain storehouse of a large and slender village".If China also takes surnames like this, there will be characters such as "Debiao in Liaobei" and "Guangkun in Ivory Mountain". The author should also call him "Yanzu of Crescent Lake".This digression is not for the time being.

All in all, in the north of Ping'an Jing, there are either the royal family or the dignitaries, and if you go south from Anma Temple, you will directly kill this place.

You must know that although Ping'an Jing imitates Chang and Luo, there is one thing that has never been learned, and that is the city wall.

Fusang is surrounded by the sea on all sides, foreign enemies are rare, and there are many earthquakes, so no city walls are erected, and the water from the Kamo River and Guichuan River is used as a moat.

When Cao Cao and others rushed to the riverside, Fujiwara Nagami said wryly: "Unfortunately, it is already June. If my son-in-law comes here in February or March, you will be able to see the magnificent scene of the double cherry blossoms in full bloom and thousands of reds falling all over the river. "

Cao Cao smiled and said lightly: "Tonight, Ping'an capital is bleeding all over the city, let's regard it as falling cherry blossoms all over the ground."

He just said something casually, but it just fit the aesthetics of the Fusang people. Fujiwara Nagami immediately blushed with excitement, and his breath became thicker. He turned around and shouted to a group of warriors: "Mr. What do you mean? Heian-kyo without cherry blossoms is not its most beautiful appearance. Tonight, we should use our swords and guns in our hands to let the blood of the enemy bloom like falling cherry blossoms, awakening the most beautiful side of Heian-kyo. Please, gentlemen!"

More than eighty cavalrymen immediately became excited when they heard the words, and shouted strangely in unison: "If you can die in this most beautiful Ping'an capital, it will be a matter of life's pleasure."

Seeing that these cavalrymen suddenly became crazy like wild wolves, Cao Cao secretly marveled: The morale of these dwarf soldiers seems to be easily mobilized!They seem to have a yearning and obsession from the bone marrow for grand and important scenes. If this is used properly, it may cause a lot of trouble for the Jurchens...

Above the river, there is a wooden bridge spanning the river, nearly three feet wide. Originally, Cao Cao and Fujiwara Nagami were riding in front of each other. Unexpectedly, the knights were inspired, and seven of them, who are always known for their bravery, stood upright. With a big gun, he shouted: "The first cherry blossom in summer should bloom in my hands." Disregarding the etiquette, he overtook Cao Cao and Fujiwara Nagami, rushed to the long bridge, and galloped on horseback. Fujiwara Nagami laughed and said: "The aggressiveness of the warriors is as fierce as fire, which really moved me. From now on, the seven of you can be named 'burning seven guns'..."

Before the words were finished, more than a thousand archers suddenly jumped out of the shadows of the trees on the opposite bank, holding Fusang's unique longbow. It is difficult to reach far, but the penetrating power is quite strong. The so-called "longbow and huge arrow, come close and shoot."

It's just that these archers are using rockets at this moment. More than a thousand people draw longbows and set up rockets. In an instant, the sky is full of flames, and the momentum is like meteor rain. All the people and horses fell down, and immediately turned into "Seven Burning Porcupines".

Fujiwara Nagami screamed in shock: "No! The Emperor Shirakawa had already prepared for it. The old thief is so vicious. He is going to burn down the wooden bridge."

Cao Cao looked serious, Xu Guanzhong rushed forward, and said anxiously: "Brother, there are only 4000 soldiers in the Ping'an Jing army. With so many archers, it is obvious that they gathered all the archers in one place! The Emperor Baihe must have prepared for it long ago. "

Cao Cao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "He used rockets, one to stop the enemy, and the other to burn the bridge. If you want to burn the bridge, why not burn it early? I must have the idea of ​​attacking halfway! But don't underestimate him. If I do this Generally speaking, we must first mobilize troops and horses to cross the river, and when the enemy is blocked from crossing the bridge, attack from the left and right from the rear."

After hearing this, Fujiwara Nagashi's face was ashen: "Ah, ah, what should I do? My son-in-law, why don't you save me and escape back to Song Kingdom..."

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Father-in-law, if you want to do great things, how can you not go through dangers? If you leave my son-in-law here, it will be nothing but calculations."

After finishing speaking, he stared at him: "Brothers, please listen to Brother Wei's orders and join hands to defeat the enemy!"

More than a dozen brothers shouted in unison: "The little brothers are here!"

The voices of the heroes were like a bell, and their morale was like a rainbow. Immediately, the knights under Fujiwara's command were affirmed by them, and they couldn't help admiring them: they deserved to be ghosts from Shangguo, and they didn't show any timidity.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Fan Rui, Jiao Ting, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Meng Kang, and Duan Jingzhu, let you six dismount and fight on foot, and cross the bridge to kill scattered archers! Li Jun, Zhang Shun, you two swim Crossing the water darkly, respond to the four of them. Sun An, you lead more than ten Fusang warriors, wait for Fan Rui and others to entangle the enemy, and fly to kill them."

The brothers who came to the point said in unison: "Little brother obeys!" Immediately, those who crossed the bridge crossed the bridge, and those who entered the water entered the water. They all wore fish-scale armor close to their flesh, and when they pulled their masks, they were fearless of the enemy's bows and arrows.

Cao Cao said again: "Guanzhong and Wen Gong, you two lead warriors and fight to the left along the river. If he loses and flees, kill him five miles away; Tingyu and Alich, you two lead warriors He is a famous warrior who fights to the right along the river, and usually kills him five miles back. Hehe, he wants to attack me with an ambush, and I will break it with a surprise soldier!"

The four shouted: "Little brother obeys orders!" Each cheered up and led the Fusang cavalry to kill left and right.

Cao Cao looked around, Shi Qian, Zhou Tong, Wu Lu, and Sakabe Ichiro and others, smiled and said to Fujiwara Nagami: "Father-in-law, don't be alarmed, let's see brothers defeat the enemy."

Fujiwara Nagami reluctantly nodded, feeling panic in his heart.

Seeing his expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: My foreign father-in-law is fierce and timid, scheming and indecisive, and he cherishes his life when things happen, but he has a demeanor after the original decay, hehe, leave him in charge of power in Fusang, It's quite appropriate.

Suddenly the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Tai Zi hurriedly walked up to Cao Cao: "Wu Zhi, my grandfather has deployed thousands of troops, how many of you are there? You can't win this battle, why don't you capture Zhong Nayan and surrender?" , I’m going to ask my grandfather for forgiveness, how about sending you back to Song Dynasty?”

Fujiwara Nagashi was startled, and exclaimed strangely: "His Royal Highness, I, my loyalty is all for His Majesty the Emperor."

Cao Cao looked sideways, and saw that Taizi had practiced martial arts since he was a child. Although his appearance was graceful and graceful, his figure was quite plump and fit. He was tall and tall. He was wearing the dress in front of Yuzao, which looked like tights. It was wrapped exquisitely, and he sighed secretly : Tingyu lost it again and again, it seems that it is not because of his failure.

He turned his head away and said with a smile: "I heard that the etiquette of Fusang is similar to that of the Central Plains. You once shared the same robe with Tingyu in adversity. This is also a destined marriage. It is rude for you to call me by my name. You should call me." Brother Wu is right."

Taizi couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and said: "Okay, Brother Wu, time is running out, can we talk about business? My grandfather is the most sympathetic to me, so I'll go and beg him..."

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Your grandfather, who first seized the power of his descendants and then picked up the ashes of his grandson-in-law, is he a friendly man? He is quite a hero, if you go to intercede, he might even kill you in a fit of anger. You don't have to worry too much." Said, look at you, I only want to seize his power, not to hurt his life."

Tai Zi anxiously said: "Brother Wu, you must be strong..."

Cao Cao interrupted: "It's not me who wants to be strong, my brothers and sisters really don't know, but we are really strong, you see—"

Seeing him holding his hands behind his back and raising his head, Taizi looked more arrogant than his grandfather, and couldn't help but follow his fingers, but saw Fan Rui and the other six tore off their clothes, revealing their fish scales, and strode away. They rushed straight, each wielding their weapons to push aside the rockets, and some fish caught in the net were also blocked by the armor, and rushed straight to the opposite bank, killing a lot.

Those archers were not completely powerless, those who were close to each other abandoned their bows and drew their swords, but Jiao Ting's two swords danced into a silver ball, rolling towards the ground, where there were many people, they went to kill, wherever they passed, blood The light splashed and the wreckage flew around, like a meat grinder with wheels.

Jie Zhen and Xie Bao roared as tigers, each holding their boring forks, like tigers entering a herd of sheep, relying on the weight of their weapons, sweeping left and smashing again, really: one sweeps a piece of grass, one smashes a cake, Meng Kang Duan Jingzhu and Duan Jingzhu each wielded a simple knife, and Dingjie's Kunzhong let the blood of those who fell down and did not die one by one.

In the middle, Fan Rui's flying hammer smashed over a dozen people, took a chance, and wielded his sword with his hair loose. He invited a general who was riding a dragon dancing with a hammer to fight on his head. Those archers were so frightened that their legs went weak when they saw it. , Shouted loudly: "China's お化けが来た!" (Chinese ghosts are coming) I suddenly remembered that this was the "Ghost King of Disrupting the Law", fearing that he would catch him and suffer in the endless hell. Wherever he went, there were one after another He abandoned his weapon and turned around to flee.

At this time, the water splashed on the river, Li Jun and Zhang Shun jumped out of the water and leaped ashore like a dragon. The archers were all looking at Fan Rui, Jiao Ting and others, how did they expect people to come out of the river?A pair of heroic men swung their knives at the back of their heads and only slashed wildly, turning over twenty or thirty of them in an instant, and the situation became more and more chaotic.

Seeing that the enemy formation was in disarray, Sun An waved his hand and led twenty Fusang cavalry to rush across the bridge. Sun An personally led the way, clashing back and forth in the enemy formation, slashing and killing wantonly. Shouting, throwing away their weapons, they collapsed.

Taizi was stunned. Although she knew that Lao Cao and others were very capable, it is clear that the current situation is that Emperor Baihe not only has many soldiers, but also prepares first. In this situation, Lao Cao just made up his mind before the battle, and smashed it with his hands, which made her feel chills.

At this time, one mile to the left and right of the north bank, there was a loud sound of killing and hunting. He knew that it must be the soldiers and horses in ambush by the Emperor Baihe, and they had been discovered.

At this moment, she did not dare to count on Baihe's troops to win, she only prayed secretly, hoping that her grandfather would not be too eager for quick success and send all the troops under his command here.If there are enough people around my grandfather to guard the imperial city, maybe there will be some turning points.

Contrary to her heavy expression, Fujiwara Nagami, who was in panic all day long, raised his head and laughed, so happy that he could see the dinner: "Ahahahahaha, I was in Heianjing, and I heard that my son-in-law is good at fighting, but I didn't know why So good at fighting, hahaha, hahaha!"

After laughing a few times, he suddenly pointed at Ping'an Jing and yelled, "Old man Baihe, you have tried your best to ambush us, but it is nothing more than that, hahahaha, with you, how can you manage the government?"

Before the words finished, someone said from behind: "Heavenly Demon King, poor monk and ghost, borrowed seven imperial artifacts here, and I'm here to ask you for advice again!"

Cao Cao turned his head to look, but saw the ghost's eyes steaming, striding towards him, with a strange-shaped long sword in his hand, if you hold it carefully, you will find a line of inscriptions engraved on the front and back of the sword, which read: " On the th day of the eighth month in the fourth year of Taishi, on the day of Bingwu Zhengyang, seven knives made of a hundred steel smelters were made to light up a hundred soldiers. They were suitable for the princes and kings to ward off evil and eliminate evil. There has never been such a blade in the past. Therefore, the son of the king of Baekje gave birth to the holy sound. Created for the purpose of the Japanese king and passed on to future generations."

There are three thin blades on the left and right, twisting upwards, with the raging flames of the Kurama Temple set against the background, like a demon god wanting revenge.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Ghost Yifayan, you are so unfaithful, you don't obediently wait for me in Fuyutang for a decisive battle, how did you find it early?"

Gui Yi Fayan shouted: "I didn't know you were so cunning before! I was invited by His Majesty the Emperor to exorcise the devil, and I also wanted to avenge my Angoma Temple. You used the sharpness of the sword to force me back , today I am bringing my own artifact, and I will teach you how to recognize the best Fusang swordsman!"

Fujiwara Nagashi was shocked when he heard this, and his arrogance disappeared immediately: "Ah, my son-in-law, you said that you defeated this man with one move, did you only rely on the sharpness of the weapon? No, no, these seven knives are extremely sharp. It is a heavy weapon for the country, and it will definitely not lose to your precious sword. This, this, this ghost is unparalleled in swordsmanship, can you really beat him?"

The real one is: the emperor designed Fuxiong soldiers, and the ghost eyes borrowed a sword to argue.After several long stories, I was really scared, and the impermanence of the world was too shocking.
