Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 401

A few days later it will be New Year's Eve, and the second year of Xuanhe will come as scheduled.

Chao Gai and others saw that the New Year was approaching, so they simply stayed in Qingzhou to celebrate the New Year together. Dozens of brothers were mighty and mighty, drinking and raising money all day long, and they were too happy to return.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Cao Cao saw that the time limit for the transfer order was approaching, so he gathered people to his mansion to drink and discuss the matter of sending troops.

Hu Sanniang was reluctant to let go, and said angrily: "This Fang La is also hateful, so what can he do if he waits a few months later? At least I can spend more time with my husband."

In fact, how did Sanniang know that if it wasn't for Lao Cao passing through Wuhan University, Fang La officially rebelled, it should have happened in October this year.

Edward Lorenz, a later Westerner, has the theory of "butterfly effect", which is very talkative about the influence of accidental variables on the development of things. Please think about it, a small butterfly can still do this, let alone the dignified old Cao?
It was Lao Cao who was born in the sky, and the situation in the world changed drastically. Wang Qing and Tian Hu were unlucky, and their fortunes had not yet reached their peak.
In Fang La's view, once Wang and Tian died, the court's eyes would only focus on himself and Chao Gai, but who was Chao Gai?Hiding in Liangshan, shrinking his head to the water, neither attacking the state nor hitting the mansion, he is not like the King of Tota, but like the King of Tota, how can he compare with this talented and bold Shenggong?
He didn't believe that the princes in the court didn't know this point.

Based on this inference, the court's next knife must be cut on his own head.

Therefore, Fang La stepped up his recruitment and bought horses, and made people compile nursery rhymes and spread them around. The saying goes, "Add a little to ten thousand, and you will be honored at the end of winter. Cross the Zhejiang River and show up in Wuxing."

Ten thousand is ten thousand, adding a little is square, and the winter is full of wax, which is the meaning of respect in the south of Fangla. How can those farmers and women tell the truth from the fake?The capital said that Fang La had a destiny, and she competed for success. Fang La thought she had won the hearts of the people, so she rebelled against the Song Dynasty.

The Jiangnan officers and soldiers, who haven't heard the golden drum for many years, how can they block Fang La's soldiers?After eating him, he first conquered Qingxi, then went down to Muzhou and Shezhou, then attacked Quzhou in the south, Xincheng, Tonglu, and Fuyang counties in the north, and finally defeated Hangzhou in one fell swoop. The heroes responded one after another, killing officials and seizing the city, plundering the people, and the situation was corrupt.

Seeing that Sanniang was not happy, Lao Cao said with a smile: "If he rebelled early, he would have settled down early. Just before the Kingdom of Jin came, he settled down first."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Kui sat not far away, frowned a pair of wild eyebrows, and said eagerly: "Brother, Deng Yuanjue and Shi Bao are all good men, and there is Fang... If you go to war with the court , don’t you want to be their enemy?”

Cao Cao sighed, remembering the scene of drinking at night in the barren mountains and discussing martial arts, just like now, he bowed his head and remained silent for a while.

Li Kui rolled his big eyes and said with a sudden smile, "I knew that my brother didn't want to embarrass a good man, but I came up with a good plan and I'm going to offer it to my brother."

All the good men were surprised when they heard the words, Chao Gai laughed and said: "I was on the mountain, and I heard that Tieniu learned to compose poetry for a long time. I just thought that there is no wonder in the world. Suggestion! Pedant, your position as a military adviser may be missed by this black guy."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Li Kui became anxious, jumped up and shouted: "Don't underestimate people, the king of heaven, the iron bull doesn't just swing the axe? I have a wonderful plan, discipline Fang La to become a minister!"

Chao Gai's smile faltered, and he said strangely: "Ah, this guy really knows how to compose poetry!"

He was born in Baozheng in the village, so it can't be said that he is illiterate, and indeed he only knows a few words, and his level of appreciation of poetry is by no means higher than that of Jiao Ting, so he was really surprised, Wu Yong said with a smile : "Heavenly King, Shibie will look at you with admiration for three days. Since Tieniu has a plan, let him say that if he is really good, why not add a military advisor?"

Hearing this, Li Kui was overjoyed, so he went to sit beside Wu Yong, winked, hugged his shoulders tightly and said, "Sure enough, only literati like military advisers can cherish each other with me. Startle them up."

Wu Yong smiled and said, "I'll be all ears."

Complacent, Li Kui said, "Nowadays in the world, who doesn't know that 'Southern Sheng Gong and Northern Heavenly King' are equally famous? Since Fang La has rebelled, according to my Tieniu's plan, we may as well rebel against the imperial court and lead the soldiers and horses of all states. , together with the generals of Liangshan, entered Tokyo in one fell swoop, and took the bird position. Brother Wu Zhi will be the great emperor, brother Chao Gai will be the little emperor, and we will all be generals, so I ask my brother to write the imperial edict, maybe Fang La is a prince After sitting down, Tieniu went to the south of the Yangtze River to proclaim the decree for his brother, and brought Fang La to surrender to his brother."

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi and the others were overjoyed, and they all applauded and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, it really is a good plan!"

Wu Yong stood up with a smile, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, Tieniu's words are not rough. We are waiting for the Yellow River navy to attack Bianjing with all our strength. You can break Bianjing with one drum. You have won righteousness in your hands. Don't be afraid." That Fang La will not follow."

However, Cao Cao sighed, waved his hands and said, "If you only talk about anti-Song, then what's the problem? Just listen to Brother Yu's words - if you talk about Zhao's talents and virtues, it is not enough to control China, but brothers and sisters I think, if we really raise our troops at this time, and the north and the south will fight against each other, the heroes will inevitably rise together, and there will really be a chaotic world over there. At that time, they will attack each other, and the only people who will suffer will be the people. Therefore, Brother Yu has always been thinking, It is not to usurp Song, but to replace Song Er."

Wu Yong and Xia Houhu looked at each other, their eyes brightened.

However, more brothers are at a loss. What is the difference between replacing the Song Dynasty and usurping the Song Dynasty?
Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Xia Houhu stood up and talked eloquently: "The usurper, the rebel, the substitute, the obedient, brothers, what Brother Wu means is that if you directly rebel, the war will continue, and the common people will not suffer." Suffering? But if one day, the will of heaven and the hearts of the people belong to my brother, then the Zhao family will collapse without usurping it. In this way, there will be no major damage to the national strength and people's livelihood, and this is the best policy."

After finishing speaking, he solemnly clasped his fists at Cao Cao: "My brother has the hearts of all the people in the world, and he is really the master of benevolence and righteousness."

Cao Cao didn't see any joy, waved his hands, and said in a serious tone: "I still remember that in the Han Dynasty, one Han could be the five Hus, and those who dared to know the offenders would be punished even if they were far away. How majestic was that? The quarrels between the heroes, from the th princes begging for Dong Zhuo, until the three kingdoms stood side by side, the people were devastated, the ten houses were empty, and the national power was exhausted. It was the disaster of the five chaos in the Jin Dynasty. 'Also! I have read history books so far, but I have shed tears and sighed a lot. This unbearable experience has been done once too many times. How can I repeat it?"

When Wu Yong and the others heard this, their hearts were shocked. Only then did they know why Cao Cao was willing to fight for the Song Dynasty, even though he had a heart of disobedience.

Lao Cao said slowly: "It is said that heroes come out of troubled times, and who are heroes? In fact, those who rise up in the chaos are mostly tigers and wolves! Those generations gained power, and compared with today's faint kings and ministers, they are more tyrannical or more powerful. Rather than letting those hungry tigers gain power, it would be better to let the full-fledged tigers live on their own first, and the harm will be less. Can respond to the weather, win the hearts of the people, and abolish the establishment, I can resolve it with one word!"

Chao Gai and the others were deeply convinced, and they all said in unison: "Brother Wu has hills and valleys in his chest, we just listen to orders."

Seeing that everyone understood his intentions, Lao Cao showed a smile, looked at Li Kui and said, "The Western Army is good at fighting. If I don't go, Fang La and others will undoubtedly be defeated. All those good guys will die in vain. If I go, I can learn from them." Take a trick and keep the heroes useful."

Li Kui said with a smile: "My brother's strategy must be better than Tieniu's. There is only one thing, that is, my brother must take Tieniu with him."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Jing Guo kept me as a hostage and fled back privately. In my opinion, I will let my family Erlang be the main general this time, with brothers Lu and Du as assistants. I will bring some more brothers to pretend to be partisans. Generals and school lieutenants, stay in the army and don't meet Tong Guan and others face to face."

When everyone heard this, they rushed to go, Liu Tanggao shouted: "Brother, I'm waiting on the mountain to train soldiers or martial arts every day. Life is so boring, how about taking my younger brother to fight Fangla?"

Cao Cao waved his hands and said: "Brothers, listen to me. There is no need for many people to do this. The brothers who were officials and generals know many people, but they can't go. Brothers who are born in the rivers and lakes, if they haven't revealed their whereabouts, they will go. You might as well go and meet the people in Jiangnan."

Immediately ordered "Smart Star" Wu Yong, "Bull Demon King" Bian Xiang, "Jiuwenlong" Shi Jin, "Demon King of Confusion" Fan Rui, "Shenjuzi" Ma Ling, "Mountain Puller" Tang Bin, "Smashing Mountain" Shan Shi Qi, Yun Zongwu of "Sword and Sword Rebellion", Yan Qing of "Prodigal Son", Yang Chun of "White Flower Snake", Chen Da of "Jumping Tiger", Liu Tang of "Red-haired Ghost", Yu Baosi of "Dangerous Dao God", and "Lidi" Tai Sui Ruan Xiaoer, Short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu, Huo Yanluo Ruan Xiaoqi, Black Wind Tiger Niu Gao, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, Little Wenhou Lu Fang, Sai Rengui Guo Sheng , a total of twenty brothers walking together.

Those who clicked were overjoyed, while those who were not clicked shook their heads and sighed.

Lao Cao had some calculations in his mind, for example, he never brought Shi Wengong with him. One was that he accompanied him on missions before, and it was hard work. Two, he assassinated Cai Jing's son last year and showed his face in public, unlike Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. It's just a response, no one can recognize it.

Yang Zaixing saw that those who were hit were all beaming, envious in his heart, he quietly approached Lao Cao, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wu, since you and the second brother are going, why don't you take the younger brother with you, just to lead the horse for the elder brother?" Son, it’s good to have a look around and learn a lot.”

Cao Cao laughed softly, "Aren't you afraid that Zhang Qing will come again and snatch your sister Qiongying away?"

It turned out that since Zhang Qing was captured, he lived in Qingzhou for a few days, and hit it off with all the heroes. He didn't go back to Dongchang Mansion until he had finished Zhou Tong's wedding wine.

But Yang Zaixing didn't take his threats, his eyes rolled around, and he said with a smirk, "Don't lie to me, elder brother, second elder brother wrote a letter a few days ago, asking Uncle Ye to come quickly to pick up Qiongying back to Gaotang Prefecture, do the math." The time should be here today and tomorrow, and if Zhang Qing comes to Qingzhou now, it will be a waste of time for a blind man to light a lamp, so I don't care what he does."

Seeing that he wasn't fooled, Cao Cao was about to make up another reason, when Wu Song smiled and said, "Brother, Zaixing's marksmanship has just reached its bottleneck, and he has to fight many heroes to make further progress. If it's not too troublesome, take him there It doesn't matter."

Naturally, Lao Cao would not refute Wu Song's face, nodded and said: "Since the second brother said so, is there any reason not to take him? It's just that Zaixing, Fang La's subordinates really have a few extravagant characters. You are young and vigorous, but Never underestimate the enemy."

Seeing him let go, Yang Zaixing jumped up and down with joy, but he listened to those instructions with one ear and out the other, and just put on a respectful and teachable demeanor, and kept nodding his head in agreement.

There are different teachings: he can write poems and offer advice, he used to be rude and now he is fine.Lao Cao read the history to pity the people, and killed all the heroes to replace the Song Emperor.
