Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 403 Weiling Jiangnan Twelve Gods
The current Jiedu envoy of the Great Song Dynasty has never had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

However, there are nearly people under Lao Cao's command, not counting Liangshan and Gaotang Prefectures. If it is spread, it will be shocking.

Therefore, the imperial court dispatched troops in two directions. Mu Hong and other five teams went to Daming Mansion, and they all asked him to bring more than a thousand people each. Ma, still under the names of Zhuang Ding, guard and so on, has been hiding in various states and has not moved.

These more than people were all carefully selected, and they deliberately pulled out heroes who were quick and easy to walk, bold and daring to kill.This time to be a pioneer, it is considered as a person who made the best use of it. He traveled sixty or seventy miles a day, leaving the brigade behind. After traveling for more than twenty days, he arrived in Yangzhou.

It was the middle of February in the second year of Xuanhe (1120). Cao Cao and his party walked along the river bank. Looking around, it was like an early spring scene. There is a saying:
The big river is on the side, the glaciers melt, the stinging insects start to vibrate, everything revives, the treetops and the ground are already hazy and green, and there are new plum blossoms on the hills and mountains by the water.

Seeing that the plum blossoms were just in bloom on that tree, Yan Qing couldn't help but get excited. He rode up the hill, climbed and broke off a lot of flower branches, and when he came back, he distributed them to a group of brothers, and put them on his temples.

When handing the plum blossoms to Cao Cao, Lao Cao didn't pick them up. He just stared at Dao Mo in a daze. Wu Song saw him, reached out to pick the flowers for him, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's on your mind?"

When Cao Cao was summoned by him, Fang came back to his senses, shook his head, and told, "I just happened to think of something from the past, hehe, I remember that when I was begging Dong Zhuo, all the princes didn't want to make progress, and they played songs every night. Going deep, he was ambushed by Xu Rong and almost died. Most of the soldiers under his command also lost half. He had no choice but to take Xiahou Dun to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers. With the help of Yangzhou governor Chen Wen and Danyang prefect Zhou Xin, he recruited soldiers. This is the way."

Wu Song laughed and said, "So, isn't this the blessed land of my elder brother?"

Cao Cao glanced at him, sighed, and said, "What a blessed place, the five thousand troops probably didn't want to go north, they started a rebellion at night, set fire to my tent, and Qi Qi came to kill me, but I killed dozens of people before I was shocked." Scattered, counted at dawn, most of them escaped, only 500 people did not rebel."

Wu Song didn't expect his elder brother to have such an experience in his previous life, so he couldn't help grinning and said, "Fortunately, my brother is capable. If I change someone else, even if I escape my life, I'm afraid it will be a failure of ambition."

Cao Cao smiled when he heard the words: "My husband, since you are determined to serve the country, you should be indomitable, and the more frustrated you become, the more courageous you will be."

After that, he took the plum blossom in his hand and stuck it on his head.

At this time, Yan Qing had finished dividing the plum blossoms and returned on horseback. He just heard Lao Cao's words of "perseverance", thinking that he felt something when he saw the plum blossoms, and said with a smile: "Brother said well, this flower is covered with frost and snow, shining brightly." Brilliance is exactly the portrayal of our generation."

Lao Cao didn't bother to elaborate, he laughed and said, "Xiao Yi's words are right, it's exactly the reason."

Looking at the scenery in front of me again, although it has been thousands of years, it seems to be just like before. On a whim, I improvised a poem of Qilu, and chanted:
"The spring breeze and clear water flow over the stone bridge, and the misty rain is full of love for wicker.

Unforgettable original intention to pick up old dreams, hold back old tears and shed new swords.

Qianqiu is strong and full of waves, and the Yangtze River is rolling with tides.

And wait for all the worries to be wiped out, and the plum blossoms will bloom all over to see Er Cao. "

When everyone heard it, although they didn't understand what it meant, they all applauded in unison. Wu Song heard the sentence "Look at Cao" best, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you miss Xiaoman?"

Cao Cao said: "My son, who can miss it? Don't you miss Ah Xiao?"

Li Kui listened to them talking about their children, and leaned forward and yelled: "I miss my Agua too. Hey, now that I have a child, I know what it means to be a parent. Thinking about how I beat someone and fled in the rivers and lakes, how is my mother?" Worrying about it."

Hearing what he said, Cao Cao said happily, "Tie Niu is getting more and more sensible. Now that your old lady has cured her eyes, she can be regarded as enjoying your blessing. But even though she is filial, I am afraid that she also misses your brother." , When you go back this time, you go to pick him up and do some living in Qingzhou. In the future, you will send troops with me, and my mother also has a son who will do his filial piety in front of her."

Li Kui laughed and said: "If this is very good, Tie Niu has saved a lot of money in the past two years, so I will buy hundreds of mu of land and give it to my brother, and also ask him to be a landlord, and spend half his life happily."

While talking and laughing, suddenly there was a loud shout in front of him. Cao Cao listened carefully, only to realize that it was very familiar: "Defeated, defeated, our army is defeated."

Cao Cao's expression was solemn, and he leaped up to the mound, followed by his brothers, looking down from the heights, only to see hundreds of officers and soldiers, all dressed in the uniform of the Song army, throwing away their helmets and armors and leaping forward, shouting: "defeated!" Defeated, let's go, let's go."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing: "The officers and soldiers I saw from the south to the north seemed to be poured out of the same mold. Like this kind of people, without my generation, how would they be able to deal with the Jin people in the future?"

Among the defeated army, there was an officer with a gray beard, wearing a third-rank civil official robe and a pair of nondescript heart armor, with a scabbard hanging from his waist, but his sword was lost somewhere. The donkey was running for his life, and when he looked up and saw Cao Cao and the others, he waved his hands and shouted, "Go, go, go, the old man has been defeated by the bandits, so he came after him."

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought that the old man was not a bad person, and he knew how to call me to escape with him. He said with a smile, "Don't be afraid of him. I'm the vanguard sent by Tong Shumi to suppress Fangla."

Hearing Tong Guan's name, the old man immediately became angry, stared at him, and shouted: "What skills can that fellow Tong Guan have? Don't act recklessly and try to be brave. You'll just die yourself. It's useless to harm you." A soldier's name is his life, and even being a ghost is not at ease."

Wu Song laughed loudly and said, "Old man, don't panic, let's see what we have to do."

With a wave of his hand, more than people rushed out from behind the mound, set up a formation on the road, and shouted in unison, it was like spring thunder exploding in the clear sky. He rushed forward and immediately fell into one piece. The big donkey was also frightened and barked wildly. The old man hugged the donkey's neck tightly for fear of being thrown off.

At this time, I saw more than a thousand thieves chasing after them, shouting. Among the thieves, there were flags on both sides, with a big book on one side: Taibai God Zhao Yi, and on the other side: Giant Spirit God Shen Ze.

Cao Cao yelled: "Soldiers, don't panic, go around to the back of our army quickly, and see how our army kills the enemy."

The old man was shocked when he heard this, and quickly shouted: "Don't underestimate the enemy, these two are generals under the command of Lu Shinang, a puppet privy envoy among the thieves, and they are among the 'Twelve Gods in the South of the Yangtze River', with high martial arts skills. Don’t underestimate him.”

Wu Song laughed and said: "What are the twelve gods in the south of the Yangtze River? When they meet us, they have to be the twelve dogs in the south of the Yangtze River."

Niu Gao quickly grabbed him by the bridle, and begged, "Second brother, what kind of butcher's knife should be used to kill chickens, and wait for my younger brother to capture those two enemy generals, so we can inquire about news from the south with him."

Li Kui shouted: "I've been traveling for days, and it's so easy to meet an enemy. If you can't hold back, wouldn't it be a loss of energy? I'll go with you."

The two descended from the mound and stood proudly in front of their own formation. At this time, the defeated soldiers all scrambled around to the back of the formation, and fled hundreds of steps away, looking back bravely to watch the battle. Only the old man The son had just appease the donkey, but before he could turn in with his subordinates, Li Kui was anxious and shouted strangely: "Get out, get out, grandpa splashed your blood when he was fighting, don't scare you to death again."

The old man is presbyopic, and he could see all the generals on the mound blurry. Now that Niu Gao and Li Kui came in front of him, he could see clearly. He saw that these two were about eight feet tall, with a strong body like a ghost, and they were like black charcoal. With a big face, bushy eyebrows growing wildly, steel whiskers like needles, and a heavy weapon in his hand, he couldn't help saying happily: "Ah, by the looks of it, they are two good men who can fight."

Hearing this, Li Kui turned from anger to joy, and said with a smile: "You old man, you can see that the two of us are heroes, but your eyesight is extraordinary. You might as well get close to each other."

The old man saw the bravery of the two of them, and saw that the more than people were lined up neatly. He immediately lost his fear, stroked his beard and said, "My surname is Xu, and my two names are Churen. I chose the cursive character. I live directly in Xianmo Pavilion. Bachelor, governor of Yangzhou, but I don't know the names of the two generals, but who are the generals?"

Niu Gao saw that his words were refined, and he refused to lose his demeanor, so he straightened his back, pretended to touch his bearded face and said: "It turns out that Xu Zhizhou was face to face, so it's easy to talk about it, we two are from Qingzhou General, I am General Niu Gao, known as "Qingzhou Poet Sage" and nicknamed "Black Wind Tiger". , it’s not a coincidence, or my brother will sing with you, old man.”

The old man was even more surprised when he heard his name as a Poet Immortal and Poet Sage. He looked up and down and said, "Oh, I'm sorry! Unexpectedly, the two generals are both civil and military geniuses! Wonderful, wonderful, there are two generals here. Yangzhou will definitely be worry-free."

Li Kui and Niu Gao were very proud to see him respectful, and when they looked at each other, they could see each other's complacent expression: "Thanks to you and I for learning the ability to compose poetry, otherwise how could these sour men admire you so much!"
He couldn't help but wanted to show off a few words, but the thieves had already rushed forward. He saw many officers and soldiers forming an formation blocking the way, so he quickly stopped within an arrow, and formed a formation in disorder.

Two thieves rushed to the front of the formation angrily, and one of them shouted: "Hey! You are so brave, don't you know the twelve gods in the south of the Yangtze River? How dare you block my way."

Niu Gao laughed, and pointed at the four-edged iron mace: "Hey! You are young in the world, don't you know me, 'Qingzhou Poet Sage' and 'Qingzhou Poet Immortal', two geniuses with both civil and military skills? Why don't you surrender quickly after seeing the masters? , could it be that you dare to resist?"

The person calling out to the other party was the "God of Taibai" Zhao Yi, Taibai, Jin Xing, the master of war, this Zhao Yi used this as his nickname, his nature was the most murderous, seeing that Niu Gao was even crazier than himself, he was furious Angry, without saying much, Pegasus wielding his spear, went straight to Niu Gao to kill him, Niu Gao was fearless, and greeted him with his two maces.

These two sycophants are exactly their opponents. I saw the two of them:

A long spear dances left and right, and a double mace swings up and down.The cold light of the gun dance is majestic and majestic, and the wind is heavy with the swift wind of the mace.

Here is the black wind tiger in Shandong, and the Taibai god in the south of the Yangtze River.The Taibai god general is good at fighting fiercely, while the black wind is hungry and the tiger wants to pounce on people.
