Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 40

Li Jun was taken aback, and quickly looked at Song Jiang. He was indeed black, fat and short, just like the legendary Jiyu's appearance.

Immediately panicked, he subconsciously went to help him, but after all his brother Li Li died at his hands, even if this revenge is hard to avenge, why should he make friends with the enemy?I was in a state of disarray for a while.

Cao Cao saw that it was funny, and helped Song Jiang up by himself, and picked up some cheap words in his mouth and said: "You Dao means that if you don't fight, you don't know each other. We are all straight-hearted heroes. There are some conflicts, so what are you afraid of? After drinking, you are still good friends."

When Pei Xuan saw it, he ordered the young men to clean up the hotel, dug out clean wine, and poured bowls of wine on the table.

Cao Cao held Song Jiang with his left hand and Li Jun with his right hand, and they entered the table together. At this time, several teams from behind also arrived one after another. The young men went to enjoy the shade under the shade of the tree. The leading heroes all entered the room and took their seats. Cao Cao got up and introduced everyone After a while, Song Jiang saw that Cao Cao had added many heroes, so he was very envious.

Only then did Li Jun learn that he had mistakenly thought it was Song Jiang, but he was also a very extravagant hero, Wu Mengde, Wu Zhi of Yanggu County, how could he sit still when he was surprised?Standing up, he was about to bow down, but Cao Cao held him firmly, and said with a smile, "We are all Jiang Hu men, don't talk about politeness, everything is in the wine."

After finishing speaking, he picked up two bowls of wine and drank one bowl with Li Jun.

Although Li Jun is a hero of the world, he is not quite the same as those people who are drunk now and now. He often likes to slowly ponder some seemingly irrelevant questions in his heart. It's quite long-term.

He quarreled with Cao Cao today, and he was silenced for a few words. If it was another person, he would be anxious and angry, but Li Jun looked up at Cao Cao when he was depressed.Seeing his generous words and upright demeanor at this moment, he became more and more heartbroken.

I thought to myself: Sure enough, meeting is not as good as being famous, and Song Jiang has been well-known in time. In recent years, he has become very famous, and I think this person is nothing more than that.On the contrary, Wu Zhi, although short-lived in fame, but judging from his spirit, he really has the air of a hero!It's not in vain to be called Wu Mengde.

During the banquet, Cao Cao saw that Song Jiang was a little unhappy, so he said: "Gongming, you go to Liangshan well, why are you here again?"

Song Jiang smiled wryly and said, "Just as I was about to sue my elder brother to learn that we were not separated from my elder brother in February? My younger brother took Hua Rong and others to Liangshan, but he met a hero named 'General Shi' Shi Yong on the way, and brought his younger brother Song Qing reported the funeral letter. I heard that my father had passed away. I cried so many times that I fainted. Luocao insulted the lintel, and deserved amnesty, and the death penalty was changed to a lesser one, so my younger brother lied to me to come back, went to the Yamen for a sentence, and sentenced me to be exiled to Jiangzhou. I was sent here by the two public servants Zhang Qian and Li Wan. Unexpectedly, due to bad luck, he ran into a black shop again, and it was not the eldest brother who rescued him. At this time, there is no Song Jiang in the world, only the steamed buns filled with Song Jiang."

When he talked about his family's bad luck, he was open and generous, and he was merciless in making jokes about himself. All the heroes burst into laughter for a moment, thinking: This person is still open-minded.

Here, Song Jiang poured a bowl of wine and wanted to kneel down to thank Cao Cao for saving his life. Cao Cao stopped him and said, "You are the elder brother of my Erlang. Speaking of which, you and I are also brothers. What can I say to thank you? Come, drink and drink." .”

Song Jiang was very grateful, drank a bowl of wine with him, and asked, "Brother, what's the matter when you come to the south this time?"

Cao Cao pondered for a while, swept his eyes from the faces of Song Jiang and Li Jun, and said, "It's okay to say, but it's me, brother Pei Xuan, who was bullied in Jiangzhou in the past and has some grudges. We are dispatched, and we are about to avenge ourselves."

Hearing that he traveled thousands of miles just to avenge his brother, Li Jun and others were greatly admired, and they all cheered: "As expected of Wu Mengde, this kind of loyalty is comparable to that of Meng Changjun."

Li Jundong asked: "But I don't know which villain killed this Brother Pei?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The left and right are just eunuchs who think they are noble, but are actually useless." While speaking, his eyes casually passed over the two gentlemen, how shrewd is Li Jun?Immediately understood, the opponent is obviously a public figure, with these two public figures here, I don't want to say more.

Li Jun immediately said: "My little brother is not talented. I have been working on this big river for many years. I am familiar with the roads in several state capitals. If I use my place, I will go through mountains of swords and fires. It doesn't matter whether the opponent is a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman. It's just a knife." thing."

After that, I poured a bowl of wine and drank it, which means that I know that what you have to deal with is not an ordinary person, but I am not afraid, I am willing to help you.

Cao Cao was moved and said: "Okay, brother, the kindness, the surname Wu has received it!" He also poured a bowl of wine and drank it, and the two laughed together.

Everyone had a drink in this hotel, Li Jun said: "I have one more thing to ask, Wanwang Brother Wu and Song Brother promise."

Song Jiangdao: "But what's the matter?"

Cao Cao had already guessed it, and said with a smile, "You want to bury the owner of the shop?"

Li Jun winked, and Er Tong and the three got up and knelt down and said: "Although Li Li's behavior is a bit unbearable, he has known me for a long time, and he has always respected me and loved me. As a friend, I don't want to see his body exposed. Brothers, please be considerate."

Song Jiang sighed: "so that's the case, that's all, people die, and I have avenged them. Do I still care about the dead?"

Cao Cao also said: "When friends are together, they should be divided."

Now Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng found some guys, went out and dug a hole, found two boxes in the room, split them open, nailed a coffin hastily, boiled hot soup, cleaned Li Li's body, changed into good clothes, Sheng was buried in a coffin.

After the tomb was piled up, Li Jun took out some yellow paper from his room and burned it. He poured a pot of wine in front of the grave, lit three sticks of incense, and prayed: "Brother Li Li, these incense candles and yellow paper were originally sent by you." Those unjust ghosts who died in your store unexpectedly benefited themselves today. We know that there are days in the dark, and the retribution is not good. We brothers, I only hope that you will join a wealthy family in the next life, and don’t come to the rivers and lakes again. Ask for food."

After all, tears fell like rain, and I bowed three times in front of the grave.

Seeing his sincerity, Cao Cao couldn't help being moved, so he lit three sticks of incense, bowed, and said: "Friend Li Li, everyone has his own life, so don't blame me for spoiling your food and clothing, and taking your life. It's your fault." , It’s not the work of a hero, if there is an afterlife, I hope you will have a good pregnancy and be a good man.”

Put the incense in the soil, pull up Li Jun and say, "A person lives for a lifetime, and the grass and trees fall once, and brothers still have to mourn."

Li Jun wiped away his tears and said: "Although he is a villain, he always has kindness towards his brothers."

Everyone sighed, and as the sky was getting dark, Li Jun invited everyone to his house for a rest.

Li Jun lives in a fishing village at the foot of Jieyang Ridge. He has twenty or thirty companions, all of whom are engaged in private business with him. Immediately mobilize these people and teach them to kill chickens and dogs, cook rice and boil fish, entertain Cao Cao, etc. People, and asked each household in the village to clean up the vacant houses, and let a group of people rest for the night.

At night, Li Jun privately said to Cao Cao: "Brother, a large number of people are going to Jiangzhou. They are afraid of attracting attention. In my humble opinion, it is better to station the people in this village and send people to Jiangzhou to visit first to find out the way. The younger brother also has a stronghold in Jiangzhou, but it is in a certain shop in a certain street, a certain alley, my dear brother, as long as you send someone to the shop and say you want to see Hun Jianglong, within two days, the younger brother will be able to go there to meet, and then mobilize troops and horses Not too late."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that, he had intended to leave the troops outside the city first, and with Li Junzhi's help, it would be better, so he immediately called a group of brothers, and the discussion was over, he went to Jiangzhou in person, and Pei Xuan led the people to stay behind. He also took out money and forced Li Jun to accept it, and asked him to send people to buy more rice and meat to feed the army.

After discussing, everyone stayed overnight and had breakfast the next day. Cao Cao said goodbye to everyone, and walked alone with Luan Tingyu, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian, Jiang Jing, and Tao Zongwang, without riding a horse, and accompanied Song Jiang and two gentlemen on foot.
