Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 525

The calm fleeting time is often like water, and it is also in a hurry without realizing it.

A few days later, in June, after days of fierce fighting, Lao Cao occasionally spared no time to write a letter. He found an illiterate mute in the barracks and ordered him to ride a skinny donkey to the Privy Council in Tokyo to write a letter.

This letter was written to Tong Guan. It is said that he was sent as an envoy before and was held hostage by Emperor Jin. During this period, news came from the Liao Kingdom that the Song and Liao alliances were good. The Jin people were furious and wanted to do harm repeatedly. Fleeing away, he was chased and killed by the golden man national teacher. The national teacher, the Holy Mother of Wuling, had infinite magic powers, and was forced to escape into the barren ocean. .

The mute writes books during the day, and Yan Qing arrives at night. Thirty carts of gold and jewels are delivered to Tong Guan's mansion in a fair manner, and there is another cart of all kinds of precious jewels and expensive furs, selected by Li Shishi himself. Give it to Fan Meiren.

Seeing the gift list, Tong Guan secretly sighed Cao Cao's loyalty, called Yan Qing into the study, put on a bad face and said: "Wu Jiedu has always been a generalist, and the Liao people used to cheat and provoke the relationship between the Jin people and me. It is not uncommon for the golden man to get angry for a while, for the sake of the country, he should bear it, how can he start a sword? If the golden man turns his anger on me, the covenant will fail, can he bear this responsibility?"

Yan Qing had received Lao Cao's advice a long time ago, and when she heard the words, she was calm and unhurried, showing aggrieved expression: "Marshal, my general is wronged! There are some things that cannot be explained in the official document, so I specially called the villain to tell them. Those golden men actually started I didn't mean to harm my general, but I wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law and let him return to the south. After the Jin soldiers wiped out the Liao Dynasty, it was convenient for Shandong to respond. The two sides joined forces to rob Bianjing and occupy the territory north of the Yangtze River. After the incident, Make my general the king of Qi."

Tong Guan was startled when he heard this, he opened his old eyes, and said angrily: "These Jurchens are barbarians! Don't they want to be blind, the old man is not dead yet, he will come with twenty soldiers, and the old man will also wipe out the officials!"

Yan Qing followed the words, and hurriedly said: "The commander-in-chief is me who holds up the jade pillars of the sky and builds the golden beams of the sea..."

He was meant to compliment him well, but as soon as he said the words, he saw that Tong Guan's expression was wrong, and suddenly he understood: ah, Yan Qing, Yan Qing, you claim to be eloquent, what are you talking about in front of an eunuch?What beam?

Hastily said: "In short, if he is not afraid of the great commander Huwei, how can he be willing to take out the princess and force my general to be a traitor? It's just that my general is loyal, and he is not good at women, so he refuses to fall into his bait. Wanting to kill, my general had no choice but to run away, and after going through hardships and dangers, he finally survived and returned, but he also fell into a serious illness and is bedridden to this day."

Tong Guan recalled carefully, Wu Zhi was able to sacrifice Fan Meiren back then, so it was obvious that he was not a womanizer, besides, those Jurchen leopards could only change for a few years, and if they were said to be princesses, they must have grown up hunting and fishing, with rough skin and flesh. What color can it be if it is thick?
At present, most of the letters were believed, and after thinking for a while, pointing at the gift list with his fingers, he nodded and said: "I understand this matter, you go back and tell Wu Zhi: He is my favorite general, as long as he is loyal and loyal, I will not lose my integrity." To protect his wealth and safety for the rest of his life."

Yan Qing thanked her and went, Tong Guan thought about it again, and went to the palace to ask to see the official, saying that Fan Meiren missed the emperor so much.

There is still a follow-up to this matter. In July, Jin Guo sent envoys to the court to meet with the Emperor Song and questioned "the envoy of Song kidnapped the princess and fled privately".

Tong Guan sneered in his heart, but he acted astonished. The reason is that Wu Zhi and others have not returned so far, where did he start?
He blamed the Jin envoy, saying that Wu Zhi was a famous general in the Song Dynasty, and he was sent as an envoy to show his sincerity.
As for the theory of private escape, there are only a few of them in your country's vast snowy land, if you really want to escape, how can you escape from your hands?There must be emotional disadvantages in this matter, and you must give me an explanation to Song Guo.

Zhao Guan's family was also unhappy. He had planned before, and when Tian Hu's matter faded away, he would call Wu to implant in the capital, recognize Fan Meiren as his younger sister, and formally dedicate her beauty to the king, so that he could be brought into the palace.

For this reason, Wu Zhi has been waiting for more than a year, but unexpectedly, this incident suddenly happened. According to what Tong Guan told him in private, it is inconvenient for Wu Zhi to appear in public during this period, so as to shirk with Jinren.

This meant that his plan was completely disrupted, and Fan Meiren cried bitterly because of this, saying that her family's fortune was poor, and she had no chance to serve the king in the end, Zhao Guan's family's love and sympathy did not make her stop crying, and she felt so sorry.

At this moment, taking advantage of the situation, he shouted loudly: "You are a small country, a backward foreign country, I am the master of the Chinese country, and I have taken the initiative to send envoys to make a covenant. I am decent enough for you and others. You have misunderstood the lies of the Liao people and killed our envoys. I don’t know, if you don’t say pleading guilty, but asking guilty, do you really think my sword is not good for you?”

At this time, the Kingdom of Jin didn't really know the reality of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing the emperor's anger and majesty, he felt terrified for a while, and said aggrievedly: "In fact, our country has never harmed the military envoy. He escaped by himself and offended the national teacher. So much so that it was blown into the depths of the ocean, and even our princess disappeared with it, is it my fault?"

Tong Guan sneered and said: "People are missing in your country, don't you blame us? It's like your envoy. If you cannibalize people in Tokyo, we will send someone to report to the emperor of your country. It is said that your envoy committed a crime and fled privately. But so what?"

After hearing this, the envoy knew that if there was no clear evidence, he had no choice but to put the matter aside, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, since this person has never returned to the country, let's not say much, let's discuss the matter of our two countries joining forces to attack Liao! "

Tong Guan snorted coldly and said: "Your country harmed my general, even though it was Liao who made rumors first, there are always your faults--how about this, to defeat Liao, you need to pick two other states besides Youyun sixteen prefectures. A good city belongs to our country, and it is regarded as compensation."

The messenger said with a bitter face: "This is a big matter, and we need to reply to my emperor before we can discuss it."

Tong Guan and Zhao Ji looked at each other, and the princes and ministers were full of color: look at the majesty of our monarch and ministers!Don't scare those savages to death!
Marshal Tong and Miss Fan showed their power at the same time, and the section "Wu Zhi's escape from gold" was just lightly exposed.

However, at the beginning of June, not long after Lao Cao sent the letter to Tong Guan, he personally accompanied Xu Churen, traveled all over the eight prefectures under his rule, secretly observed the civil affairs of each prefecture, and recorded all those who harmed the people and officials and those who refused to cooperate with the Tongque Trading Company. On paper, he had to wait until he reported back that there was a reason of "robbing and banditry", and eradicate all of them, and then arrange for his own family members to occupy positions that were out of reach, and buy their successors with money, so that Xu Churen would secretly rule the eight states.

After going for a few days in a row, just returning to Qingzhou to rest, the "magic horse" Ma Ling rushed here on a hot wheel.

Ma Ling was in a hurry, and when he saw Lao Cao, the first thing he said was: "Brother, brother Zhu Dian was never killed by officers and soldiers. He fell into the hands of Wang Gong and old Buddha! Li Zhu and Lei Heng , but captured Tokyo.”

Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Speak carefully!"

Ma Ling took a sip of tea, and immediately explained the details of the farewell——

After everyone left, Fang La gathered up the people who didn't want to go north with Cao Cao, and most of them taught him to rectify the dilapidated Muzhou. The remaining hundreds of people personally led them to Quzhou to meet Yu Wupo.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Quzhou, I found the valley where Yu Wupo was stationed, but the building was empty, and there was no living person.

Fang La was in doubt, so Lu Zhishen asked: "Could it be that when the news of our defeat came, the soldiers and horses here were shocked?" Fang La frowned, and shook his head, "Definitely not! My apprentice, I am so proud, If you don’t give birth to a man, something must have happened.”

He picked up a branch, scribbled on the ground once, then shook his head again and again: "Tong Guan retreated, but he couldn't come here anyway. What happened? Hey, it's good to leave the ancestors far away, but now Short of a planner."

There were a total of eight heroes left behind, they were Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Ma Ling, Shi Jin, Yang Chun, Chen Da, Ruan Er, and Ruan Qi, and the latter seven nodded at the same time when they heard this.

Lu Zhishen chuckled and said, "Why didn't Sheng Gong ask Ji Sa's family? According to Sa's family, if there was a military chaos here, it must be in a mess, but you can see that there is not even a drop of blood, and the warehouse is also empty. It can be seen that your apprentice is probably He led the troops on his own. In the Ming Cult, who did not go with my brother, besides you, who else can mobilize your female apprentice?"

Fang La woke up like a dream, and slapped her leg: "My two masters, anyone can mobilize her!"

Lu Zhishen said again: "If the two of them transfer your female disciples, where will they go? Your Mingjiao is in the southeast, how many lairs do you have?"

At this time, Fang La fully understood: "Master Chen Kuutong's Maitreya religion was originally preached in the north. In the seventh year of Qingli (1047), the leader Wang Ze rebelled in Beizhou and was wiped out by Emperor Renzong. The rest fled to the south. It is profound, but Manichaeism is powerful and deeply rooted. Besides me, Wang Gong Laofo also has two disciples, Zhongxiang and Wang Zongshi. Although they play the banner of Mingjiao, they don't listen to my preaching. I see it for the sake of my brothers. , has never been dealt with.”

Lu Zhishen said: "Needless to say, most of your female apprentice was deceived by Wang Gong and old Buddha, and brought soldiers and horses to meet his apprentice, but I don't know whether to go to the place with the surname Zhong or the one with the surname Wang."

Fang La resolutely said: "Master Zhong, people in the Jianghu are called 'Dongting Jiao', and they are thousands of miles away from the local area. Wang Zongshi, who is called 'Chanting Bodhisattva', is based in Xinzhou. According to this, it is less than three hundred miles away. My apprentice must meet Wang Zongshi first!"

Ruan Xiaoqi then said: "Sheng Gong, I think Wang has bad intentions. When he arrives in Xinzhou, he might coerce people to go to Dongting. Are we going to follow him to eat ashes? Why don't you take a token and ask Ma Ling Take the first step and try to intercept your apprentice, I will just catch up."

Fang La said: "A great plan! Since this is the case, Brother Ma Ling has to work hard."

Then he untied the jade around his waist—it was when he passed his birthday that Yu Wupo carved it and gave it to Fang La herself.Give it to Ma Ling, let him catch up with Yu Wupo's team with the help of Hot Wheels, and ask her to stay and wait for Fang La to join.

Ma Ling didn't refuse, put away the pendant jade, finished it, and chased along the road alone, but Wang Gong and Laofo's movements were faster than they expected. When he found Yu Wupo's subordinate, he was already In the countryside of Xinzhou, it merged with Wang Zongshi's troops.

Ma Ling didn't dare to show up rashly, and stayed until late at night before avoiding the sentry and sneaking into his village quietly, looking for the house where the fifth wife Yu lived.

After searching for more than ten rooms, I suddenly heard someone speaking in a low voice with a very familiar accent. I hurried over to listen and recognized Zhu Dian's voice, saying: "I think Brother Wang Zongshi is very prestigious here, so why not?" Do you have to go to the Dongting? Isn’t it a waste of a good foundation.”

Ma Ling discovered Zhu Tong's whereabouts. He was overjoyed and breathed heavily, and was immediately noticed by the people in the house. Wang Gong and Laofo sternly shouted: "The lackeys of the Imperial City Division have been entangled every day. Is there no end?"

Before the words were finished, the man broke through the window and flew out, stabbing with his sword.

Relying on his own ability, Ma Ling was not afraid at all, and immediately fought with him. The two fought seven or eight times.

Wang Gong and Laofo saw that he was using magic skills, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and hurriedly danced his sword to protect his body tightly.

When Ma Ling came to Bangyuan Cave, the man had already hid in the secret room, so he didn't know him.

Now seeing Ma Ling's extraordinary abilities, especially the golden brick technique, which is far superior to Zheng Mojun's technique, he couldn't help asking: "Little brother, you are so skillful, you can work for those who have no eggs, don't you hold back?" Qu? How about you just vote for my Mingjiao, and I will make you the Right Envoy of the Light?"

Hearing this, Ma Ling must have recognized himself as a member of the Imperial City Commissioner. Although he didn't know the reason, he still followed the words: "The rebellion is arrogant. I work for the court. How can I help the rebellion?"

Old Buddha Wang said angrily: "Kui Xiangyang came here to kill me, but both of us were hurt. It can be seen that the Zhao family dynasty is at the end of its life. You say I am a traitor today, but you don't know that I have achieved great things. You are a traitor!"

After finishing speaking, he shouted: "Brother Zhu, I'm pestering his gold brick, you go and capture this man."

Sure enough, Zhu Tong jumped out, holding a long spear in his hand, and went straight to Ma Ling. He raised two spears and halberds at the same time, and fought fiercely.

After fighting for a few times, Zhu Dian lost his color, Ma Ling understood, turned around and left, Zhu Dian yelled and entangled, the two fled and chased, and when they were a little farther away, Zhu Dian whispered: "Hurry up to Wu Dian!" The eldest brother reported that Li Zhu and Lei Heng were all in the hands of the Imperial City Division! The commander of the Imperial City Division, Kui Xiangyang, went to the south of the Yangtze River in person to eliminate the remnants of the Ming Sect. He was also wounded by Li Zhu's sword."

Ma Ling was surprised when he heard this, nodded, swung his halberd to force Zhu Dian away, and then drove away, but Zhu Dian yelled and couldn't catch up.

Ma Ling made a circle, collected the gold bricks with a trick, and retreated into the darkness like a fly. Seeing him retreating like a god, Wang Gong and Laofo were secretly startled, and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​chasing him.

Although Ma Ling failed to contact Yu Wupo on this trip, he gained a lot. First, he confirmed Zhu Dian's safety and whereabouts. Banjiu didn't make any sound at all. It turned out that he was caught by cannibalism.

Immediately, he was about to return to Quzhou and tell everyone the news. Unexpectedly, five miles outside the village, he met two masked men in black, who sneaked into the village. It doesn't take much effort to get it, just catch it and make it a tongue!

Immediately, the golden brick method was used, one was killed, the other was knocked unconscious, and he carried it on his shoulders. When he came back, he met Fang La and the others. After telling the story, Lu Zhishen slapped his thigh: "Needless to say, Brother Zhu Dian It must have been captured by the old thief in Bangyuan Cave, and he pretended to submit because he had to."

Fang La wondered: "My master is the best at deceiving people's hearts. Will brother Zhu really be persuaded by him?"

Yang Zhi sneered and said, "Sheng Gong doesn't know, our brother is nicknamed 'Beautiful Beard'."

Fang La said strangely: "I know his nickname, I have already mentioned it when you first met."

Yang Zhi frowned and said: "'Beautiful bearded man' is so righteous, brother Zhu is willing to do unrighteous things?"

Fang La hesitated, smiled wryly and said, "Forget it, I made a slip of the tongue."

Ma Ling said quickly: "If brother Zhu is really obedient, he won't let me take the lead. I just don't know who is that Kui Xiangyang who can catch 'Mr. Jinjian'?"

Shi Jin said: "Brother is so stupid, put this tongue here, why should I guess? Let's save him, don't worry about him not talking."

At the moment, he was in a hurry to wake up the man in black. After some torture, he finally confessed that he was indeed a subordinate of the Imperial City Division. Based on his confession, everyone roughly guessed the cause and effect——

After the First World War in Hangzhou, Huang Shang, a master follower of the army, disappeared without a trace. Tong Guan thought it was weird, so he sent someone to send a message back to Bianliang, just in time for Kui Xiangyang, who had achieved great martial arts skills, and officially left the customs.Knowing this, he said: "Mr. Huang is really kind to preach in the Zajia. Since he has something to do, the Zajia should look after him personally."

Then he reported to the Emperor Ming, led a group of elite deployments, and divided them into several groups and quietly went to the south of the Yangtze River.

Kui Xiangyang knew that since Hangzhou fell, Tong Guan needed to send his troops to Muzhou, so instead of going to Yangzhou to cross the river, he took Luzhou, crossed the river from Chizhou, and went straight to Shemu.

It was also a coincidence, not long after arriving in Shezhou, I met Li Zhu and Lei Heng, who pretended to be Fengshui masters and Taoist boys, and were about to find a boat to go to Muzhou. He is an expert in the Jianghu, Xin Dao now that the officers and soldiers are suppressing Fangla, it is reasonable to stay away from irrelevant people in the Jianghu, and these two people are going to go, most likely they have something to do with Mingjiao.

So he pretended to tell a fortune, and tested the two with his words, both of them had their own ulterior motives, and gradually became estranged, Lei Heng became agitated, and knocked them down with his hands.

At this time, the seven or eight people who followed Kui Xiangyang were all experts of the Imperial City Division, they were violently injured by him, and the rest attacked together, Lei Heng couldn't help immediately.

Seeing this, Li Zhu drew out his sword to help, and the sword came out of the head and fell, killing six people in a row in an instant.

Kui Xiangyang was shocked, screamed, and struck with all his strength, Li Zhu fought back with his sword, both of them used swords, fought hundreds of moves, each suffered minor injuries, Kui Xiangyang used lightness kung fu to escape.

Lei Heng searched the body, and Fang knew that this group belonged to the Imperial City Division.

This is the first time since Li Zhu Yicheng met his opponent, he went down the mountain this time because he was afraid that Huang Chang would assassinate Lao Cao, but now that he met such a master of the imperial court, how could he let him go to Muzhou?He was determined to kill the opponent in Shezhou.

Although Lei Heng's martial arts can't interfere with the fight between the two of them, but he has been doing it for many years, and he is quite good at chasing people. Now the two of them competed with Kui Xiangyang, chasing and killing them all the way, but Kui Xiangyang's lightness kung fu is extremely powerful , Several confrontations, but never left this person.

At this time, the masters of the Imperial City Department came to Shezhou in batches. Kui Xiangyang's subordinates became more and more, and the situation was reversed. They began to chase and kill Li Zhu and Lei Heng. The two were afraid that they would lead to troubles and go to Muzhou, so they struggled with him. .

After fighting like this for a few days, news came out from the rivers and lakes that Fang La's army was completely defeated. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that a large number of subordinates of the Imperial City Division had left Shezhou.

However, after Tong Guan's great victory, he heard that Zhu Man was killed, and his great achievements made him a good man, and he had regrets for nothing. He was annoyed in his heart, so he asked the Imperial City Secretary to help him deal with it. The head of the thief, cut and kill to understand the hatred, so as not to be born again in the spring breeze.

Li Zhu and the others didn't know the cause and effect, they were afraid that their going was related to their brothers, so they followed along.

As soon as Kui Xiangyang entered Muzhou, he bumped into Old Buddha Wang who was sneaking away, and stepped forward to intercept him decisively. There were twenty or thirty good fighters around him, but Old Buddha Wang had only Zhu Nian by his side, and fought hard , Seeing that he was invincible, Chen Kuutong, the leader of Maitreya, suddenly came out!
Chen Kuutong was about like Fang La, he had already noticed something strange about Wang Gong and Laofo, so he followed him, seeing that his life was at an instant, thinking of the years of friendship, he couldn't help showing up to help.

If the two of them worked together, they would have been better than Kui Xiangyang at first, but when Chen Kuutong made a move, Wang Gong and Laofo took the opportunity to sneak away. Fighting with all his strength, he killed seven or eight masters of Huangcheng Division, and his family was also chopped off the cliff by Kui Xiangyang's palm. At his age, it is rare for him to fall off a cliff, and most of them will die.

Kui Xiangyang led his men to pursue again, surrounded him several times, and stopped Wang Gong and Laofo again, but Wang Gong and Laofo were also blessed. When they saw that they were invincible, Li Zhu and Lei Heng rushed to fight out.

This time, Wang Gong and Laofo ran away from the beginning, and he didn't know the two of them. Seeing Lei Heng's martial arts is superb, and Li Zhu's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, he immediately wanted to attract the four of them. Use your strength to fight off this group of masters of the Imperial City Division.

Unexpectedly, Kui Xiangyang is a man with superb martial arts skills, but he doesn't have the demeanor of a master. He suffered a small loss in front of Li Zhu a few times before, and he has already arranged countermeasures. Helped, turned over and kicked Lei Heng unconscious, Wang Gong and old Buddha had a bad sense, forcibly picked up Zhu Ni, and fled again.

Why didn't Kui Xiangyang chase him?But before Li Zhu fell down, he thought he was going to die, so he counterattacked with all his strength, and his sword penetrated into his chest, causing him serious injuries.

There are different religions: Shenju sent a letter to Jiangnan, and the prodigal son sent a letter to the Privy Council.Where the golden sword is rustling, the sunflowers are blooming towards the sun.
