Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 45

But he was happy to meet a good sail, and the boat arrived in Jiangzhou like a fast horse. Li Jun said goodbye to everyone. After returning home, Cao Cao and others first found a big inn to put their luggage, and then sent Song Jiang and the two gentlemen to vote in the city outside the city. prison camp.

When Song Jiang entered the prison camp, Cao Cao couldn't get in, so he said: "Let's go, let's take a leisurely walk in the next few days, and make plans after getting familiar with the roads in and out of the city."

His six soldiers were divided into three groups: Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu one group, Jiang Jing Tao Zongwang one group, Shi Xiu Shiqian one group, they made an appointment to go shopping separately, and returned to the hotel every night to collect news.

Here Jiang Jing and Shi Xiu went separately. Cao Cao took Luan Tingyu and circled the prison camp first. Let the prisoners out together, disturb the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, and attack the state government in the city is the best."

When he went back to the door, he suddenly saw seven or eight people fighting. He stood up and looked, but they were all wearing the same color of clothes. They were all small prisoners in the prison camp. One of them was tall and waist Wide, thick as a black bear, two messy red-yellow eyebrows, bloodshot copper bell eyes, and beards standing upright like steel needles, one person beat the other several people rolling and crawling.

Cao Cao was taken aback, and said to himself: "This guy and Xu Zhongkang are like the same mold. Could it be that Xu Chu was reincarnated?" Big up.

But I heard a young prisoner who was beaten shout: "Li Tieniu, you are not a son of man. If you don't have money, why don't you ask those thieves and prisoners to ask for it? What kind of a man is a man who steals money from his colleagues?"

The black burly man kicked the opponent so that he rolled over and over again, cursing: "You wait to blackmail the prisoner, the master blackmails you, how much trouble has the master saved?" In his arms, he laughed.

After laughing a few times, seeing Cao Cao only looking at him, he burst out suddenly, and shouted with wide eyes, "That short man, what are you doing with your bird eyes only looking at Master Ni? If you want to find someone to fight, Grandpa can help you."

Cao Cao clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I see you as a prisoner, you don't bully the prisoner, but you bully your colleagues, you are a hero, and I also see that your boxing skills are extraordinary, so you have a heart-to-heart friendship. If you have free time, how about drinking a glass of wine?"

The black brawny man was going to gamble after stealing someone's money, but when he heard this, his big eyes rolled, and he secretly said happily: "Seeing that this man is well-dressed, he must have a lot of money in his pocket, so let's eat him up first, and then go play money happily, isn't it?" Isn't it beautiful?"

But he said in his mouth: "I won't accept the invitation easily, unless the other party is sincere, then I will go."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "How can you count as Yicheng?"

The black man swallowed his saliva, showing a greedy look: "There is a pipating tavern facing the big river over there. It is very famous. It sells the famous wine Yuhuchun in Jiangzhou. If you go there to treat guests, you must be very sincere. gone."

Cao Cao said: "Okay, then go to the Pipa Pavilion and taste the beauty of this Yuhuchun."

The black man was overjoyed, gesticulating and said: "That wine, yes, everyone who has drunk it praises it. If you want to know what is good, you can ask me to drink it and I will know."

Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu couldn't help but smile, and immediately followed the black man to the Pipa Pavilion, chatted along the road, and asked his name, the black man said: "I am originally from Yishui County, Yizhou, Shandong. In Baizhang Village, I was called Li Kui. Because of my great strength, the villagers called me Li Tieniu. I also had a nickname called "Black Xuanfeng". , I also have an old mother in my family, and my elder brother Li Da is a coward and useless, and I don’t know if he can raise a good mother.”

When mentioning mother, a pair of tiger eyes suddenly burst into tears.

Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu looked at each other: Although this man is rude, he is filial.

Cao Cao comforted: "Don't worry, my home is in Yanggu County, only four or five hundred miles away from Yishui County. After I go back, I will send someone to visit your mother in your Baizhang Village. If life is hard, So leave some money for your brother to make money, and at least teach them to live comfortably."

When Li Kui heard this, he immediately stood still and said, "You short man, are you kidding me?"

Cao Cao also stopped and said, "Why should I joke with you?"

Li Kui raised his eyes and said, "You and I have never met before, how could you travel hundreds of miles to visit my old lady?"

Cao Cao said: "Firstly, I see you as a good man, and secondly, I pity you for your filial piety. A few hundred miles can only take two or three days, so what if you walk once?"

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Li Kui couldn't help shaking his heart, and bowed down: "Hero, Tieniu really doesn't know how to repay such kindness."

Cao Cao hastily pulled him up and said, "A man of honour, why should he do that?"

Li Kui could only feel grateful in his heart: "I have never met such a hero as you in my life. Thinking about it, Yu Hei Songjiang in time, Wu Mengde and Wu Zhi are nothing more than that."

Luan Tingyu smiled and said: "You have good eyesight, my brother is Wu Zhiwu Dalang!"

When Li Kui heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Master, it turns out that you are Wu Dalang, elder brother, and you will be worshiped by younger brother!"

He turned over and bowed down again. Cao Cao couldn't hold back this time, so he had to bow three times, helped him up and said, "Brother Luan Tingyu and I came to Jiangzhou this time, and sent Brother Song Jiang here to serve his sentence. in your prison."

Li Kui was even more delighted when he heard this, and shouted: "It's such a coincidence that the two extravagant elder brothers will see each other in one day. Brother Wu, wait a moment, and I will invite elder brother Song to have a drink together."

Cao Cao stopped him and said, "Brother Song Jiang has just arrived. Once he is properly settled, you won't be too late to find him."

Li Kui nodded, and patted his chest: "Since this is the case, I can't call my brother bad money. Tieniu happens to have money, and I will clean up my brother and me."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Since we are called brothers, we don't care about you and me. There is a friendship between friends, and your money is hard to come by. I will definitely treat you to this drink."

Li Kui rubbed his head, thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, I won't go to the bird pavilion. It's really expensive there. I didn't know it was my brother just now, so I wanted to take the opportunity to open my eyes."

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Brother, brother Yu is not short of money. I am greedy for the Yuhuchun you said. If I don't have it today, how can I have fun? Let's go and go."

Pushing Li Kui forward, after walking for a while, he went up to a small hill, and then arrived at the Pipa Pavilion.

One side of the pavilion is the Xunyang River, and the other side is the owner's house. There are more than ten seats in the pavilion. Luan Tingyu chose a clean one, let Cao Cao sit on the top, and let Li Kui sit on the opposite side. , The three sat down, Cao Cao called the bartender: "All kinds of good dishes, but those who are good at it, serve them as much as you like, regardless of the amount of money, jade pot spring wine, first take three bottles to rinse your mouth."

Not long after, vegetables, fruits, and all kinds of seafood were placed on the table, and the wine was served and opened. Eat with a big bowl."

Cao Cao laughed and called the bartender: "My brother is bold. You can bring us a big bowl of wine, and your dishes are exquisite, but my brother likes meat. There are good beef and mutton. Big bowls When the pieces are boiled, cut them into ten catties."

Li Kui was very happy when he heard this: "Brother knows me, how can this little snail and shrimp enjoy themselves? The bartender, hurry up, the meat needs to be fat."

The three sifted the wine and took a bowl to drink.

At that time, the big river in front of us was open, and the long wind on the river was blowing willow branches and reeds, and the clouds in the sky were full of clouds, and the atmosphere was myriad.Although Li Kui is a rough man, when he saw the scenery, he also felt that it was magnificent, and he felt a surge of spirit in his chest, and said to Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu, "No wonder this bird restaurant is very expensive. It turns out that the scenery is so good, if it weren't for the two elder brothers Dai Qi, Tieniu has been in Jiangzhou for several years. How has he ever seen such a scene? It's a pity that he doesn't know a few bird characters. Otherwise, he would learn from that bird literati and write a bird poem on this bird pillar, so that the later bird people Everyone knows my name."
