Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 522

This discussion lasted for a long time.

Fang Qifo and others are very famous, and it is not convenient to take them to Qingzhou for resettlement for the time being, so they all stay in Liangshan.
Lao Cao then proposed to let Fang Qifo, the "son of the Seven Buddhas", be the deputy head of the village. Fang Qifo was shocked and waved his hands again and again, claiming that he had not made any achievements, and that if he ascended to a high position, it would not disturb the law of the village.

Chao Gai knew what Cao Cao wanted, and this position was not only given to Fang Qifo, but also to the Ming Cult heroes.

What's more, Fang Qifo's high martial arts skills are well known to everyone, and he once commanded an army, and he was alone. Regardless of his prestige in the world, or his personal talent, it was a momentary choice. up.

Fang Qifo became the second in charge, and he was sincerely grateful. Shi Bao and others also smiled when they saw it, and they felt more of a sense of belonging to the cottage.

"Nanli Magic Sword" Shi Bao, "Little Lu Bu" Fang Jie, and "Ghost Commander" Li Tianrun were added to the ranks of the gods. The original Liangshan ten gods were added to the thirteen gods.

"Tiger Saber" Si Xingfang, "Xiaoyangyouji" Pang Wanchun, and "Xuanzhou Tiger" family Yu Qing are all three generals, and Duan Sanniang went to Qingzhou. The vacant seat will be filled by "Qiaoguanxing" Liang Hongyu, who is the fifteenth mysterious general.

Jia Yuqing, although he doesn't look like a mountain dew, is also a famous tycoon in the south of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, how could he let him take charge of Xuanzhou alone?
"Death Scholar" Tang Fengshi, "Ghost Monk" Wen Kerang, "White Eagle" Bei Yingkui, "Little Impermanence" Li Shao, and "Tianmu Xiao" Wei Heng, five of them are all listed as generals, making up a total of thirty generals.

"Baoguang Tathagata" Deng Yuanjue and "Jiufeng Hunting King" Xia Houcheng were better at fighting on foot and were incorporated into the ranks of Biao Generals. Together with Liu Tang, Lei Heng, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun, they were collectively called the Seven Biao Generals.

The remaining four heroes of Taihu Lake are naturally the navy, and the three heroes of the Ruan family and Wang Ding Liuhe are the eight generals of the navy.

As for Wang Yin and Gao Yu, because they are going to Fusang, they are not in the top positions. There are also Zu Shiyuan and Lu Jiang, who don't show up much, and their reputation is not obvious, and they surrendered earlier in the Golden Festival, which has already washed away their reputation as thieves , will go to Qingzhou with Lao Cao.

After discussing whether everyone should go or stay, Lao Cao asked Wang De and Yao Pingzhong to release their shackles, and sat down to drink together.

The two entered the hall and sat down, Yao Pingzhong felt a little uneasy, Wang De didn't feel restrained at all, he drank the wine and ate the meat, then tore the meat and stuffed it into Pingzhong's mouth, he said with a smile: "I don't eat the meal if the head is severed." If you're full, wouldn't it be miserable on the way to Huangquan?" According to the case, he chewed, as if there was no one else around.

Seeing how heroic he is, everyone applauded secretly, and Chao Gai said happily: "What a brave general! Putting him among the officers and soldiers is nothing but a loss to this man."

After he ate and drank, Lao Cao personally persuaded him: "With your two martial arts skills, you are enough to sit on the top spot, why don't you join the gang together, and in the future, we will do a big business together and make a name in history. Wouldn't it be great? "

Yao Pingzhong was quite moved when he saw the tigers and wolves in his village, and they were all generous and friendly, but Wang De swallowed the wine and meat in his mouth, and shook his head proudly: "Although I was wrongly loved, the Zhao family has never been sorry to a certain family. , If you lose, you will surrender. How can there be any bones? I would like to behead my head and break my will."

Shi Bao was furious when he heard this, jumped up and said: "In that case, let me kill this guy."

Wang De leaned back and stabbed sharply: "Shi Bao, don't think you have some bravery. In my eyes, Wang De, you are nothing more than a chicken and a dog. I only hate that I didn't kill him in the battle, and I am still clamoring for it today! Come on!" Come, here is the head, let you take it!"

Seeing his bravery, everyone respected him more and more, only Shi Bao hated him for killing his good friend "Shocking Cloud Spear" Wang Ren, couldn't let it go, and really got up to kill him.

Cao Cao quickly stepped forward to hold Shi Bao, and asked Yao Pingzhong, "What will General Yao say if Wang De does not surrender?"

Yao Pingzhong looked at Wang De with a puzzled expression on his face: "If Yao said that the military power of the imperial court is controlled by Tong Guan, a eunuch who knows how to exercise power and form cliques for personal gain, Yao will not see him, so he will demote you. It doesn't matter-"

Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that he was captured in Bangyuan Cave before, and he was originally rescued, but it was Yao who was greedy for merit and wanted to catch Fang La, so he was trapped again, but Wang De was caught. I was implicated, otherwise, at this moment, he should be promoted in Bianjing and make a fortune."

After saying that, his eyes gradually became moist, and his voice became a little crying: "Now that he won't surrender, how can Yao be willing to live alone? Just die with him. Shi Bao, you killed Wang De, and by the way, you will also send the young master away." On the road, you must sharpen your knife quickly, so don't make the young master suffer more."

Wang De glared at him and said: "Little Taiwei, who in the world will never die? Sooner or later, if a man dies, he will die. You are so cowardly, but you are just laughing at the bandits."

Yao Pingzhong's two lines of tears finally rolled down his cheeks, his body trembled, and he cried out in a mournful voice: "Am I willing to show my cowardice? Its tears will flow on its own, what can I do? Shi Bao, kill me first, and then drag it on." I'm afraid I can't help but beg for mercy."

Seeing that he was so afraid of death, all the heroes couldn't help laughing, but Lao Cao stopped him: "Hey! Don't you all laugh at him, don't you hear that Mencius said, 'Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. Also, you can’t have both, those who give up their lives for righteousness!’Brother Ping Zhong is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is willing to die with his brothers, and he sacrifices his life for righteousness, he is a role model for my generation.”

Patriarch Yuan nodded and said: "Brother Wu is right. He is obviously afraid of death, but he is loyal. It is more rare to ask for death than not to be afraid of death."

When all the heroes think about it, isn't this the reason?Immediately stopped smiling.

Yao Pingzhong waved his hands while wiping his tears: "It's too good, I didn't think so much, but I begged Wang De to stay and help me. If he dies, but I live alone, wouldn't I die laughingly? Or..."

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he suggested: "Or wait for Haosheng to persuade him a few more words! If he is willing to surrender, I will not die."

Wang De shook his head and said: "Little Taiwei, you are you and I am me. At that time, it was not you who asked me to stay. Wang himself also wanted to make meritorious service. If you wish to surrender, you can surrender. Everyone has his own ambition, so why bother?" force?"

Yao Pingzhong's face darkened: "Needless to say, my surname is Yao after all, how can I embarrass the generations of Yao family generals? Shi Bao, hurry up..."

The more Guan Sheng listened, the more he admired him. He clasped his fists and said, "General Yao, Guan should not have laughed at you just now, but he has humiliated a hero! In this way, there is no need for Shi Bao to do anything. Guan personally swung his knife and sent General Yao on his way."

Yao Pingzhong trembled, and smiled wryly: "It's so much work!"

"Wait a minute!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand and held Guan Sheng back.

Wang De laughed and said, "Why do the thieves have good intentions? You must know that those who want to achieve great things must not have the benevolence of women. Your Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, and their power is even higher than that of Fang La. If you don't kill me, if you escape for a while, you will lead the army Come to destroy you—do it quickly!"

He said that he would shoot several cases with great emphasis, with his back straight and his neck waiting to be killed.

Cao Cao's expression changed, he thought for a long time, sighed and said: "Forget it, people in Huaxia are so weak now, this king is so arrogant, if he can't bear it, he will kill him. Heavenly King, I will imprison this man on the mountain, and I will fight Jin Liao in the future. If you don't believe me He wouldn't try."

Wang De laughed loudly: "Even if we are fighting against foreign countries, the imperial court has its own western army, so why should you wait for the grassroots to contribute?"

Yao Pingzhong quickly covered Wang De's mouth, and smiled at Lao Cao: "Sure enough, there are a lot of adults, and you are worthy of being a hero of Liangshan! Well, where are you going to shut me up? Yao took him with him."

Everyone laughed when they saw it, Cao Cao also shook his head and laughed, and asked Liu Tang to take him down.

The brothers sat down and talked about this matter, Chao Gai said unhappily: "Brother Wu is still too benevolent, although this Wang De is tough, but he is too ungrateful, I also have a lot of good guys here."

Suo Chao hurriedly said: "Brother Chao Gai doesn't know, but this guy is really good at martial arts. When he was captured, it was me, brother Yang Zhi, and monk Deng Yuanjue who worked together."

Deng Yuanjue nodded and said: "This is true, not only Wang De, but also Yao Pingzhong. Although his temper is weird, his martial arts are really superb."

Chao Gai spread his hands and said: "Even so, if it can't be used by us, it will be useless in the end."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I won't kill him. For the sake of the country, I feel pity that he is a brave hero. The other has another idea. Brother Zhu Dian, his whereabouts are unknown so far, and the two brothers Li Zhu and Lei Heng have no papers." The news, although Brother Lu and others are looking for it, I can't rest assured. I am planning to send a smart brother to Bianjing to find out. If it happens that it falls into the hands of the officers and soldiers, I can use these two people to negotiate with Tong Guan. .”

Everyone suddenly realized: "So it is!"

Hearing this, Niu Gao stood up happily: "Brother wants to send a clever brother to Tokyo, so why not call me by name? This is just to go for my brother."

Cao Cao wondered: "I never asked you. I thought you two had a family and asked you to escort Xu Zhizhou to go first. I wanted you to reunite with your family as soon as possible. Why did you come to Liangshan again in such a hurry?"

Li Kui was so angry that he immediately got up and complained: "I want my brother to know that this guy has become Jin Jie's brother-in-law. The more I think about it, the more afraid I become, and I am too scared to go home to see my wife. When I go outside Qingzhou City, it is very frightening." Go and quietly invite Brother Shi En, let him settle down with Mr. Xu, but dragged Tieniu to Liangshan, only to cause Tieniu to pass through the house and not enter, dreaming of Agua for the past two days, and every night."

Zhu Gui wondered, "Why do you become someone's brother-in-law? Brother-in-law, what's going on?"

Niu Gao came here in a hurry today, he wanted to ask Cao Cao about his advice, but he saw Zhu Gui at the banquet and was too intimidated to speak, but he was exposed by Li Kui, his black face suddenly turned pale.

Jin Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, unexpectedly his wife and sister's dream caused such trouble, but after thinking about it again, Niu Gao's fear of guilt is not a bad thing, he stood up immediately and said: "Brother Zhu Gui, I'm here to talk to you about this..."

Immediately pulled Zhu Gui aside, chattering, talking about how Niu Gao was captured, how his wife and sister had dreams, how he said that he was married, and joined hands with him to offer the city, and finally said: "This matter is always wrong for my younger brother. Sure, I offended Lingmei, but Niu Gao is an honest man, if my elder brother wants to be beaten and punished, it's because of my younger brother."

Zhu Gui couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that, he called Niu Gao and said, "Don't be afraid, my family, Mingyue, is not as violent as Duan Sanniang, seeing Brother Jin as a person, his wife and sister must be virtuous, so you just have to speak kindly." I told my sister that in the future, if a bowl of water is level, you will be safe and sound.”

Brother-in-law opened Jinkou, Niu Gao immediately showed joy, he pulled Zhu Gui and said: "Brother-in-law, how about you go back with me, if Mingyue is very angry, you can help him hit me twice to let her vent her anger."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Gui felt a little unhappy at first, but he calmed down and said with a smile: "Do I have time to run around here and there? The hotel at the foot of the mountain, how can I be missing?"

Niu Gao rolled his eyes, pointed at Li Kui and said, "It's just a hotel, let Tieniu take care of you for a few days."

Li Kui was furious: "You black guy, you have repeatedly blamed me. If you ask me to watch the hotel, I will drink up the wine in one day, close the door, and everyone sleeps."

Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said: "Xiao Niu, what's the use of begging this black guy? Does he look like a businessman? Fifth Brother taught you to be good, you only come to beg my sixth brother Ding, the king of the navy, but his family is For those who have been doing business for many years, let him go to Zhu Gui for a few days, it will complement each other."

Niu Gao was overjoyed, and hurriedly went to ask Wang Dingliu, Wang Dingliu was easy to talk, so he agreed with a smile.

Now that Niu Gao had settled his worries, he didn't mention the matter of going to Tokyo anymore. Lao Cao looked around, and was about to order, when suddenly a man stood up and said with a smile: "My little brother came from the village and sat on a high seat empty. I have never made an inch of merit, but I am willing to take it for my brother."

Cao Cao saw that it was Qiao Li Qiao Daoqing, the "Phantom Demon Lord".

But I heard him say: "In the past few years, my brother has made troubles in Tokyo several times, and many of the brothers have shown their faces. If others go and find out that he is a public servant, it is not playing tricks. It is better for the younger brother to go alone. Go, if there is any news, send a paper crane to pass it on, if there is something good or bad, use a trick to escape naturally."

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and felt that it really made sense. Qiao Daoqing, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, is vigilant, has swordsmanship and Taoism, and is indeed a good candidate.So he clasped his fists and said, "In that case, thank you brother Dao! Brother Dao should also be careful. If you get something, you should report it to the village in time, and you will have brothers to help you."

After everything has been arranged, everyone continued to cheer and drink, and they all ended up having fun that night.

On the next day, regardless of Chao Gai's persuasion, Lao Cao went down the mountain and returned to Qingzhou. The people accompanying him were: Fang Jinzhi, Wu Song, Lu Junyi, Fang Baihua, Du Po, Fan Rui, Yanqing, Li Kui, Niu Gao, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Yang Zaixing , as well as Wang Yin, Gao Yu, Zu Shiyuan, Lu Jiang, Jin Jie, and Zhu Gui who was dragged away by Niu Gao to help.

Chao Gai couldn't keep him, sighed, and led the Zhaoye jade lion himself: "Brother Wu, this horse is already in good condition, you should ride this horse."

Cao Cao took a look at the horse and saw that the horse was full of energy. He was immediately happy: "Thank you, Heavenly King! I thought that this horse ran like a horse, and I was afraid it would be difficult to recover, but unexpectedly, the horse is even better than before!"

Chao Gai said: "Thank you, but I can't find it. It was the brothers of the Tongque Trading Company who learned about this. After asking around, they learned that there is a man named Huangfu Duan in Dongchang Mansion. He is known as 'Purple Beard Uncle'. , so a lot of money was invited, and it took several days to recuperate, so that the muscles and bones will not be injured."

Cao Cao said: "Since there is such a strange man, why don't you give him a lot of gold and silk, and please go to the village and sit in the top spot? There are more and more horse troops in the village, why can't he be used?"

Chao Gai said happily after hearing this: "Exactly! Ah, I shouldn't have let him go."

Lin Chong stepped forward and said: "Mr. Huangfu is in Japan, but I can say that he is a hero with blood. Since the brothers are interested, I will go to Dongchang Mansion by myself and invite him to join the gang. "

Cao Cao said with a smile: "If Coach Lin does this, he will be able to succeed in no time. You should bring more property. Don't let people say that I am stingy."

Immediately, he hurriedly packed two loads of presents, and crossed the shore in a boat. Qiao Daoqing headed for Tokyo alone. Lin Chong took two companions and carried the loads of gifts to Dongchang Mansion. Horse, go east.

It took more than one day along the way, and arrived in Qingzhou on May 26.

Earlier Li Kui sent Xu Churen here, everyone in the city knew that Lao Cao was going to return, and Duan Sanniang came two days ago, everyone sent people along the road to inquire, and now hearing that Lao Cao returned, Shi Wengong led a group of left-behind brothers , far out of the city to pick him up.

When Lao Cao returned home, he didn't let go of his horse. As he was walking, he suddenly saw many brothers, surrounded by a few young women, waiting on the side of the road, and he was overjoyed.

Wu Song saw Zong Yun'er at a glance, and hugged her son Wu Xiao fiercely. The mother smiled happily, and her son deserved to be called a "laugh" in vain. With all his heart lost, he galloped wildly, and was afraid that the big horse would startle his son, so he jumped off the horse from a long distance, first descending the mountain like a tiger, and when he came closer, his movements were as gentle as a big cat. Stretching out his arms, even the mother and son were hugged in his arms, turning around gently, the tenderness on his face was like water, how could he have the prestige to kill Zhu Mian among thousands of troops?
Li Kui also got off his horse and galloped, yelling: "Baolian, Agua, I'm back! Good girl, Agua, your father has only dreamed of you for days."

Agua is bigger after all, he stared round his small eyes for a moment, recognized his father, was so happy that he just kicked in his arms, Baolian couldn't hold him, so he had to put it on the ground, spread his short legs and rushed After passing by, Li Kui slid on his knees, picked up his daughter in his arms, slid to Baolian's feet, put his arms around her thighs and said, "I want to kill Tien Niu."

Although Baolian was born as a singer, she was not as cheerful and lively as Zong Yuner. Zong Yuner was hugged by Wu Song and spun around, laughing like a silver bell.

Seeing the joy of his brothers, Lao Cao was also very happy, with a smile all over his face. He rode his horse and looked at his four daughters. Hu Sanniang and her four daughters also greeted them with tender eyes. Sanniang said with a smile : "This time it's finally in time. I was worried that Yuzao's ex-sister would give birth to a child alone like me. It's hard for you to rush back."

Cao Cao glanced at it, but saw Yuzao's small body in front of her, with her high belly, and her beautiful eyes were open to look at it happily. for you."

He was about to go forward and hug the ladies, but suddenly a boy with a thick head and a thick brain appeared from behind Sanniang, stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword from Sanniang's waist, and shouted childishly, "Hey! Come on, let me know your name!"

Lao Cao took a closer look, and found that this doll, with a beautiful makeup and exquisite decoration, was exactly his own big boy, Wu Mengwu Xiaoman!A two-year-old child can lift a sword with one hand, which shows how strong his muscles and bones are. He can't help laughing: "Good boy, don't you recognize your father?"

Hearing this, Xiaoman saw that the bearded man looked familiar, and was blinking his eyes in thought, when he suddenly heard a female voice exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, my Qingluan sword is here!"

There are different teachings: Yesha is arrogant, and Taiwei is light on life and death.How many heroes will return with tears and rain.
