Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 402

Since Cao Cao sent troops, Chao Gai naturally didn't stay any longer, and immediately led his brothers back to the mountain. They all happened to go all the way together, and they reached Liangshan for several days.

Those heroes left behind on the mountain were overjoyed when they got the news, and they all came down the mountain to greet them. They could only hear calls for brothers and brothers, and it was very lively again.

Chao Gai was the most lively person at first, so his interest was immediately high, and he pulled Lao Cao to laugh and said, "Brother Wu, you are still in the middle of the year, and the weather is cold, so why don't you go up to the mountain and gather for a few more days. How about going to fight for him after the young year?" .”

Cao Cao smiled wryly and said, "Heavenly King, how can I get drunk every day after drinking happily? I won't go up the mountain anymore, and wait for my teacher to return, and the brothers will conspire to get drunk a few more times."

Seeing that he was determined, Chao Gai was reluctant to part with him, and let the crowd go for a walk. After walking for more than ten miles, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother, stop and go out to play, why don't you take my little brother with you!"

Cao Cao turned his head to look, but saw a big man of eight feet, wearing iron armor, straddling a poor horse, with a pen knife hooked on the hook of Desheng, galloping towards the future with a smile all over his face: "Brother, stay a step, younger brother will go to conquer Fangla with you!"

This person is not someone else, there is a hymn, just talking about this person's benefits——

Born with a fierce spirit like a tiger, he rode his horse and swung a knife to swallow the Xia captives.

Bitter and bold, strong and strong, sonorous and iron, boasting of might.

Destroy the big formation alone to pull people's heads, break into the chieftain's camp and step on the drums of war.

Angrily subdue all the demons, Liangshan God will throw Han Wu!
When Cao Cao saw Han five horses chasing him, he had to stop all the troops, and when he came to him, he said helplessly, "Brother, it's not that Brother Yu refused to take you, but I just said that anyone who had served as a general in the court would not take you with me." He is only afraid that someone will recognize it."

Han Wu stared and said: "Brother, don't lie to me, like Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, etc., the whole world knows that he has descended from Liangshan, so naturally he dare not bring it out, but my younger brother took Duan Sanniang to elope that day, who would have known me? So I went to Liangshan? Could it be that I became a deserter? First of all! Second, they are all famous officials and generals. The younger brother is just a general of the Western Army. I'm not afraid, I just think of him as an old man, so if I come back to serve as a soldier, can he bite my eggs?"

When Cao Cao thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason. At the beginning, Han Shizhong kidnapped Duan Sanniang and left a letter to say goodbye to Liu Yanqing. Old Liu burned his letter on the spot, and filled the roster with the word "missing". Sometimes injured and separated, and now returning to the team after injury, why not?

Thinking through this point, he nodded his head and said: "Brother, your calculation is not bad, but Duan Sanniang of your family has a deep affection for you, so why would you let you go so easily?"

When Han Shizhong saw that Lao Cao was not pushing him away, he immediately showed a smiling face, winked and said: "To tell you the truth, my mother-in-law has a big stomach, and between the curtains of the bed, one of them is equivalent to five ordinary women. A body made of copper and iron can't help her wear away day and night, does the elder brother lose weight when he sees the younger brother? Let's go out to fight with the elder brother, so it can be recuperated—the elder brother doesn't want to see the younger brother die young, right? "

Lao Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and couldn't help touching his face, only to feel that his tentacles were hard bones, and thought that Han Wu's words were true, as long as he was skilled enough, the iron pestle could be ground into embroidery needles, thinking of me, Lao Cao, in the wind, frost and snow The rain, tossing and turning, never saw weight loss, after returning home for a month, drinking and eating too much meat every day, but lost a lot of weight, it can be seen that Fei Han is a good waste of charcoal and a good girl!

He laughed and said: "In the past, Lu Chunyang's poem said that Erbajia's body is like a crisp, and she cuts fools with a sword at her waist. Hehe, the lady has a mace at her waist, which is ten times fiercer than a sword. No wonder you ran out .”

The two men had the same fate and sympathized with each other. After sighing with each other for a while, they let Han Shizhong join the team, pretending to be a partial general, and the army set off again.

It took more than a day to stay overnight all the way, and finally drove to the outside of Bianjing, but saw that the area along the river was densely packed with camp tents, and the ground stretched to the sky at a glance, but it was boundless.

Cao Cao sighed: "It seems that I was really late, and the more than one hundred thousand Western troops may have arrived."

So he summoned Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and Du Po, who were his three chief generals in name after all, and asked them to go to the camp of the Chinese Army to ask Liu Yanqing to see him. I'm afraid that someone will say something wrong and leak out the fact that he was mixed in the camp, but he has a life of right and wrong.

Lu Junyi is the most honest person, worried: "Brother, according to the rules in the army, when I go here, I need to hand in the roster of all the troops under my command. Maybe there will be a military discipline officer to count people according to the roster. When the time comes, brother will be counted." Don't tell me?"

Cao Cao waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'll just use other people's first and last names."

He swept his eyes, looked at the generals, and suddenly asked: "Eh, since I left Qingzhou, I don't seem to have seen Li Tunzi. Wait, who knows where he is?"

Who is this Li Tunzi?This man was originally the head of Chen Zhou's army, and he followed Tong Guan to pacify Wang Qing last year. He was killed by a bandit general, Yi Kuan, in his own state's military and horse capital, and the army broke up for a while. Gu Yong came back from the fight, and with the hob in one hand, he beheaded the Huaixi thief general Ji Sansi.

Afterwards, Chenzhou soldiers were assigned to Lao Cao's command. In the battle of Fangzhou, it was this person again who killed the famous thief Liu Yijing in the melee, and was promoted to lieutenant general after his meritorious service.

Later, Lao Cao was promoted to Jiedu envoy and was ordered to form the Qingzhou Army. Originally, most of the Chenzhou soldiers returned home, but this Li Dunzi was willing to stay in the army. The help of Wu Cheng and Zhong Liang to capture Yun Zongwu alive has really made a lot of contributions, and Lao Cao has a deep impression on him.

Seeing Lao Cao asking about this person, Du Po laughed and said, "Brother forgot? In the few days you first came back, Li Tunzi also followed me to visit my brother's house."

When Cao Cao was mentioned by him, he thought of it immediately, and said with a smile, "Yes, this guy is brave in battle, but he can't drink enough, and he will get drunk after a few drinks."

Du Po nodded again and again: "It's this drunk, which actually led to a good relationship! That day when he left the elder brother's mansion, he was top-heavy and unable to walk. It was the younger brother who supported him, and he took a rest in the tea house of the old lady next to him. Going back, I ordered two sobering teas, and while I was drinking, a young lady like a flower and jade came to join Wang Po. It was said that she was an old friend in Yanggu County, Zhang Xixi, who spoke softly and softly. , that fellow Dunzi should look straight ahead."

He said with a smile on his face and eyes: "Wang Po is a warm-hearted person. Hearing that Zhang Xixi had never won someone else, she immediately praised Dunzi, saying that he was highly valued by his elder brother. He also saved thousands of family property, and he is honest and honest, but unfortunately there is no lady in the house to take care of him. When Zhang Xixi heard this, he became ashamed at that time, biting the handkerchief in his hand, and said in a low voice. He turned his head, and only secretly looked at Brother Dunzi."

Cao Cao was dumbfounded when he heard that, didn't he remember Zhang Xixi?It was Ximen Qing's concubine back then. After Ximen Qing was killed by him, he had no one to rely on, so he went to Wang Po as a matchmaker and wanted to seduce Cao Cao. Without a livelihood, I went to the Yingxiong Building to perform and sing.

Later, Wang Po moved to Qingzhou with the Wu family. She thought that there would be no more entanglements. Unexpectedly, this girl also had a heart, and she chased Qingzhou. pier.

This Du Po seems to be honest, but he even said that Zhang Xixi is shy, that woman is from Lu Qi, and she is a concubine for romantic figures like Ximen Qing, so she probably unlocked all poses, The so-called shyness is just a coquettish way, it's hard for him and Li Tunzi's four eyes to see clearly.

I secretly sighed for Tunzi in my heart, and couldn't help being a little curious: "What happened next?"

Du Po smiled and said: "Later, Dunzi promised Wang Po a hundred coins and asked her to be a matchmaker to marry Zhang Xixi back home. Hey, this kid is also blessed. Virtuous lady."

Cao Cao was stunned: "How do you know the pain and heat, and the severity?"

Du Po said solemnly: "Dunzi is alone in Qingzhou. According to my younger brother, I should ask my elder brother to make decisions for him and preside over the wedding, but his new wife listened and refused in every possible way. General, there are so many important things to do, how can you disturb them easily, the two brothers have not been at home for more than a year, and their wives and children have to accompany them at home, let alone troublesome. So I only invited a few robes and neighbors to celebrate a little Fan. Brother, think about it. Most women in the world love vanity. Who would not want a person like brother to propose marriage? But she can know how to measure, isn't this virtuous?"

Cao Cao was speechless, nodded his head, and knew: This woman is afraid that I will expose her, so how dare she let herself be the officiant?

Du Po thought that Cao Cao agreed with his point of view by nodding, and continued to boast: "Dunzi's bridal chamber was stained with blood on the white cloth, but she was a real girl with yellow flowers. Isn't this a good match from heaven? Dunzi has been fighting for half his life, and he has not yet married. Now that I have to meet this beautiful woman, I am really afraid of losing it. Seeing that he is newly married, my younger brother is reluctant to leave him. This time I went to the expedition, I deliberately did not point him out, and asked him to hurry up and keep a man and a woman. It's not too late to fight with me."

The girl of the yellow flower...Old Cao sighed, his heart is hard to break, since he feels happy himself, why should he be a villain?But Wang Po didn't do it very well, so I need to talk to her when I go back.

Shaking his head and throwing away these distracting thoughts, he said, "Okay, since Dunzi never came, I will pretend to be Li Dunzi during this southern expedition. With an army of 10,000+, can it be that Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing can see me?"

Now that Lao Cao made up his mind, Wu Song and the others naturally obeyed, and the three of them immediately took a deputy, namely Yan Qing, Yang Zaixing, and Niu Gao, six men and six horses, and rushed to the camp of the Chinese army.

After more than two hours, the sky was dark, and the six returned and reported to Cao Cao, "Liu Jiedu is a nostalgic person, and he said a lot about his brother, but Tong Guan ordered the three of us to be generals, and called me three Lead the troops and horses of the headquarters and act as the vanguard of the army. When we replenish our army's food and fodder tomorrow, we will send troops the next day, and go straight to rob Runzhou so that the army can cross the river."

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately understood Tong Guan's calculations: He has been in command of the Western Army for a long time, and regards it as the foundation of his power. Before that, he promoted Lao Cao to build the Qingzhou Army. The counterbalancing forces thought they were balanced, but unfortunately they were "trapped in the Kingdom of Jin". Therefore, they changed their minds about the Qingzhou Army and regarded it as a consumable.

Immediately sneered and said: "It's a good plan. He is the Western Army, but I, the few thousand people, can be counted as the guest army. Now I teach us the bones, but they eat meat. It's a pity that after all, I underestimated my brothers. They want to tell me to gnaw my bones, so I will call them no credit! When the time comes, let's see who is in a hurry."

The next day, the food and fodder really arrived, and the quantity was counted, and it was only % short. It can be seen that although Tong Guan wanted to use them as consumables, he was sincere.

Another day, just before the fifth watch, Lao Cao immediately sent out troops. More than people formed a long snake formation, took the dry road, traveled southeast, and went straight to Yangzhou!

This is exactly: Before counting the enemy, count yourself first, and there will be endless internal friction.The ambition of the arrogant dragon is in the white clouds, and the thoughts of snakes and rats are in the sewage.
