Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 617
Everyone entered the handsome tent and took their seats, Lao Cao let go of Yue Fei.

Zong Ze cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Wu Dalang, you and I were not speculative when we talked about Dengzhou a few years ago, but now in Luchen, Hebei, you can make trouble in the Liao territory. If your guess is right, you should come across the sea. ! It can be seen that when you first sought Dengzhou, you really planned for a long time, and this old man is far behind!"

Wei Yi pondered, and said: "I'm just pardoning the old man's blunt words—it's really hard to believe that this move is purely out of publicity."

Cao Cao gave him back a salute, and said with a smile: "Whether it is public heart or not, it depends on how to judge it. If the world is the public, Wu has a public heart! If only the emperor's joy is the public, Hua Shigang is the public heart, but Wu has a public heart." It's all selfish thoughts!"

The words "Hua Shi Gang is the public heart" made Zong Ze speechless.

Lao Cao smiled freely: "Whether Rulin believes in me or not, Wu still wants to say something bluntly: I am not a wolf with ambition! If the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, my brother and I will travel in the forest and live happily ever after. Also. The real difference between me and Mr. Ru Lin, and even Mr. Zhou Tong, is that you still believe in the way of the imperial court, but in my eyes, this imperial court master is not enough to protect the world."

Speaking of the last few sentences, the smile was restrained, and the voice was loud.

Yue Fei suddenly said: "Because of this, shouldn't we work harder?"

Zong Ze glanced at Yue Fei with admiration.

Cao Cao shook his head and couldn't help but laugh: "It's a good example of 'To Jun Yao and Shun, and then to make the customs pure', do you want to follow Du Zimei's "riding a donkey for years, traveling and eating in the spring of Beijing"?"

The poems quoted by the two are all the content of Du Fu's "22 Rhymes to Wei Zuo Chengzhang". The former is the ideal in the heart, and the latter is the reality of the situation.

Yue Fei was speechless immediately, and was considering how to deal with it. Old Cao Zhuo looked at him with interest, blinked at him and said:

"Brother Pengju, in fact, Brother Yu has a lot of connections with officials. If you want to see him, Brother Yu can introduce you to him. But do you believe it? If you want to marry Yao and Shun, the officials will not bother to talk to you. .If you can talk to him about how to write poems and paintings, raise flowers and prostitutes, then you will not be far away from being successful!"

Seeing Yue Fei, Lin Chong couldn't help but secretly looked at him, but kept clenching his fists, not knowing how to speak.

Seeing Yue Fei being teased by Lao Cao at this moment, his face flushed red, he couldn't help sighing, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, although the elder brother's words are humorous, but since you are a master's disciple, you should know the four words of teaching students according to their aptitude. Even if you teach it, you can’t teach it.”

Zhang Xian couldn't help but nodded, and said, "Brother, what Brother Lin said is actually true. The marksmanship that Master taught you is different from what he taught me. He said that you have great strength and quick reaction. These are all natural abilities, so you The marksmanship, I learned it but showed cowardice."

Wang Gui stared and said, "Hey! Master said that we are not allowed to recognize Instructor Lin as a senior brother, have you forgotten?"

Lin Chong's face turned pale, and he bowed his head in silence.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Gui, since your brother Lin entered the northern kingdom, you have killed countless Liao and Jin fierce generals. How many famous enemy generals have you killed in your master's life?"

Standing up and walking, he patted Lin Chong on the shoulder: "Professor Lin, although the respected teacher has a heroic heart, what he can see is limited after all. Between you two, which one is beneficial to the world, your own history is like a knife!"

While talking, he turned his head to look at Yue Fei and the others: "You believe that you are a brother. Mr. Zhou has to leave his name in the unofficial history, which is the ultimate. But you, Lin Chong, deserve to enjoy the martial arts temple and be famous in history. What's the difficulty? Although you two have teachers It's just kindness, but the achievements are very different, why do you suffer yourself with your words?"

Lin Chong was startled, and suddenly had the feeling of seeing the sky through the clouds.

It's like a son who has never been recognized by his father, who often has melancholy feelings, but one day he suddenly finds that his achievements have already surpassed his father's countless, and his previous melancholy turned into sympathy and tolerance for his father.

Standing up and clasping his fists, he said: "Lin Chongyu Lu Wufu, if it wasn't for my elder brother's constant teaching, I would have achieved nothing in this life."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Brother Yu, how could he be successful without brothers like you?"

Zongze stroked his beard, and said in a favorable manner: "Wu Dalang, you have these good brothers, you may not be able to do things that are difficult for others. Today, you are actually very smart, but you are only an important minister in the court. , so your mind is broken, and now a strong enemy is on your side, if you..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Mr. Ru Lin is wrong! The Master said that he is not confused at forty, and Zhao Guan's family is in his forty years. His disposition is bad, how can he recover? Besides, his frivolity is not what it is today. Although Wu I am ignorant and ignorant, and I also know Zhang Xiangyu's "frivolity cannot rule the world"."

Zong Ze and Yue Fei looked at each other and sighed.

Cao Cao said Zhang Xiang, that is, Zhang Dun and Zhang Zihou, a real strong man with both civil and military skills. Since Zhao Ji was still the king of Duan, he has been despised, and he will not be ignored until his death.

Although Zong and Yue are loyal, they are straight men after all, what they have seen and learned here, if they insist that Zhao Guan's family is wise and powerful, how can they say it out loud?
Cao Cao said again: "Wu is a good man who claims to be a good man. He has read history books and knows the misery of Shenzhou Luchen. How can he let Wuhu's misery happen again? The gate of the country should be guarded by good generals, and the world should be guarded by sages. There are no sage kings and good generals in the court, and there are hundreds of millions of Li Shu, so they deserve to be alien horses and cattle?"

Zong Ze and Yue Fei's expressions changed, and their hearts were pounding.

Gongsun Sheng looked at his words, stood up suddenly, laughed and said: "You two generals, one is Gongsun Shengye, a qi refiner from Erxian Mountain, who is called 'Ruyunlong' by people in the Jianghu! Xiaodao has practiced the word 'Tao' all his life, but he has some humble opinions. , do not spit fast!"

The turtle shell fan shook, and said softly: "Everyone, before you come, our brothers are discussing the Song Emperor's use of Jin soldiers to defend the Liao Dynasty. My brother compares it to Shi Jingtang who borrowed Khitan soldiers, and Li Heng who borrowed Huihe soldiers. Both are imperial powers. Self-interest, put the world at the bottom of the generation. Xiaodao thought of the "On Destiny" he read in the past, and suddenly realized: What is a sage? , to serve one person in the world."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Sheng waved his sleeves, and his face was full of chic: "Although Xiaodao is a foreigner, he was born in this world. He is a king, and he does not benefit me at all. Instead, he gave my life and wealth for the fish of other races." , for the sake of his own self-interest, if I still regard him as the king, the honor is the most precious, is it because the bones are cheap?"

He who is an emperor treats me like dust, a sacrifice to please others, and I still regard him as the supreme emperor, am I cheap?
Shi Bao jumped up, clapped his hands and yelled: "The Taoist priest is right. Zhao Guan's family has no protection outside, no kindness inside, how can it be worthy of being the master of the world!"

Yue Fei stared and shouted: "However, I was born in the Song Dynasty, lived in the Song Dynasty, lived in the Song Dynasty, ate the Song food and enjoyed the Song Lu, and the Dutch country's kindness, so I should repay it with loyalty! The king may not be everywhere, of course When I make amends, if the king is perfect and can do everything, what use is it for us to study and learn martial arts? Brother Wu, if you don’t know how to fly, I ask you to explain it to me!"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The Emperor Taizu of this dynasty was born in the Zhou Dynasty, lived in the Zhou Dynasty, ate Zhou's food and enjoyed the Zhou Lu, this is the grace of the country! Besides, Chai Rong treats him like a brother. Besides the grace of the country, he still has loyalty. His Zhao family How about the Zhou family? It’s like Guan Yunchang at the end of Han Dynasty. If Liu Bei’s foundation is taken away, what will we think of him? It’s not only ridiculous, but even shameful.”

Yue Fei blushed and argued, "During the Five Dynasties, the people were in dire straits, so destiny prospered the Song Dynasty..."

Shi Bao shouted: "When Zhu Man was raging in the south of the Yangtze River, the upper households went bankrupt and the smaller households starved to death. That is the people's desperation."

Cao Cao waved his hand, stopped Shi Bao, and said indifferently: "Pengju, I won't argue with you about small matters. Since you want to talk about the destiny, Mr. Gongsun is here, and I just talked about "On Destiny", so why don't you talk about it?" For the destiny, to open the eyes and ears of my virtuous brother Pengju."

Gongsun Sheng smiled unrestrainedly, and said: "There is a saying in "Theory of Fate and Destiny" that when a husband rules chaos, it is luck; , there must be loyal and virtuous ministers. The reason why they meet each other is that they get along without asking for it; Gains and losses cannot be doubted about one’s aspirations, slander cannot be divorced from one’s friendship, and then success is achieved. The reason why it is so, is it just human affairs? The one who teaches it is also the god, the one who tells it is also the god, and the one who succeeds is also lucky!”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Pengju, what's the theory? If luck is prosperous, a sage will be born, so if it is reasoned, if luck will decline, it will naturally give birth to a faint king. A sage must be accompanied by loyal and virtuous people. Therefore, a foolish king will naturally be accompanied by treacherous sycophants."

"Sage kings and virtuous ministers are naturally compatible, so they are successful. Continue to use reason to reason. Like those stupid and treacherous officials, they are also naturally compatible, so they are buried in their families and countries. Pengju, this is not the principle of human affairs, it is a gift from heaven!"

Yue Fei's whole body was shocked, and his complexion turned pale instantly.

Cao Cao, however, became more and more happy as he talked, pointing around: "You are like Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming, Shi Bao, Shi Wengong, etc., all of whom are talented generals! I know you are extremely talented, but look at Brother Yu, who are you?" Weak you? He is such a powerful general, but the state of Song is incompatible with each other. Why do you say that? God didn’t teach him! Look at Brother Yu and them again, neither are they from the same mother, nor are they neighbors in the same country. The South China Sea and the North, but finally get together and know each other, what is the reason? Heaven-sent!"

He used the topic to make use of these words, and he almost said it clearly-the destiny lies in Wu, not in Zhao!Otherwise, why would all these generals gather by my side?
When Shi Bao, Qin Ming and others heard these words, their ears were extremely pleasant, and they felt more and more that being under Cao Cao's command was an act of obedience to nature, and they all laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

However, one of them was not happy.

Seeing that Jiao Ting frowned, he came to the front and said in a low voice, "Brother, you have missed a tiger general."

Talking with a big face, he looked arrogantly at Yue Fei: "I am the tiger general Jiao Ting! They are not weaker than you, but I am different. If you and I fight with bare hands, Jiao will break you, believe it or not?"

Hu Sanniang hurriedly turned her head away, afraid that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.I thought to myself: Jiao Ting is really an honest person, with a straight heart!

I can't help but think of myself asking him in private before: Your brother came from Wusheng Pass, has he ever provoked a woman?Jiao Ting said at the time: Don't worry, sister-in-law, my brother is busy with military affairs, so he doesn't care about any girls.

At that time, Hu Sanniang was still worried about whether Jiao Ting would cover up her brother, but now seeing his naive behavior, she was completely relieved.

But Jiao Ting is a straight person who never tells lies, Xiao Sesu is a woman, and Lao Cao really doesn't pay attention to any girls.

Seeing that Jiao Ting was about to throw Yue Fei away, Wang Gui was unconvinced and said, "You think my elder brother can only use a gun? My elder brother created his own method of Sanshou, and the master said it was wonderful."

Jiao Ting waved his hand: "I don't believe it."

Wang Gui was furious, he tugged at him and said: "If you don't believe me, I have been taught a few tricks by my senior brother, do you dare to compare with me outside?"

Jiao Ting sighed: "When you fall apart, don't cry."

The two dragged each other to go, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai looked at each other and said, "You two are in the middle of a martial arts competition." They also followed.

Yue Fei had been friends with them since they were young, and they knew each other deeply. He knew that these brothers had been persuaded by the other party, but he was afraid of disturbing his thoughts and decisions, so he found an excuse to leave.

He bowed his head and pondered for a while, only to feel confused:

His mother taught him since he was a child that he must be filial for a son, righteous for a friend, loyal for a minister, practice literature and martial arts, be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and this is what a man should do;
The master also taught him that the heart must be upright, the road must be steady, that it can be rewarded to the king at the top, and the peace and prosperity at the bottom is the career of a man.

It's just that no one has ever told him that if the high-ranking king himself takes the lead in betraying the country and harming the people, what should a man do?

The thoughts in my heart were like a tide, and I subconsciously said: "Don't treat the world to one person..."

After repeating it several times, tears burst into tears, and he looked at Zongze as if hoping for a life-saving straw: "General Zong, this junior is dull in aptitude, confused by his words, and entangled in all kinds of things in his heart, I hope General Zong can teach me."

Cao Cao sighed and said, "You are really asking Yu Blind. Mr. Ru Lin has an earth-shattering ability. He only managed to pass judgments and become a general because he refused to harm the people and lied to the ministers of power. He has been a civil servant for decades You have lost every battle, and now you are in a hurry, and even come to seek help from wicked people like me, your heart is bitter, don't you think Duke Ru Lin is not bitter?"

Zong Ze was originally in a state of mind, and was about to try to solve Yue Fei's doubts with his heart. Hearing Cao Cao's words, he felt his breath go away without a trace. I'm in a hurry, the old man was killed in your handsome tent, and I will be loyal all my life."

Cao Cao spread his hands, and said with a smile: "You were killed by the collision, and Wu will bury you for you, but the Yanmen Pass is left in your hands. If Ru Lingong can rest his eyes, he will just bump into it."

Zong Ze pulled his sleeves, blew his beard and said: "You don't have to fool the old man, I know a little about you now, maybe you are not ashamed of the court, but you are even more afraid of aliens becoming bigger, so you will never sit idly by. Dangerous passes such as Yanmen fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Jin."

After Cao Cao heard this, he stared at him for a long while, then smiled helplessly, and looked at Yue Fei: "You can see Brother Pengju? In this gentleman's heart, Wu is not loyal, but when he wants to contribute to the country, he comes to Wu."

Zong Ze looked at Yue Fei and sighed: "Pengju, it's hard for me to solve your confusion now, so I just sent you a few words: let's do it, let's see. It's hard to be real, and it's hard to be real. I can't see clearly for a while. Just look at it slowly, there will always be a time when the clouds will disperse and the bright moon will appear, and the water will dry up and the bright pearl will appear."

After all, Yue Fei is not an ordinary person. Hearing Zongze's words, he immediately restrained his expression, wiped his tears and said: "General Zong is right. After all, the junior is young, and what he has learned and seen is still limited. He can't figure it out for a while, and he has to chew it slowly in his heart. For the immediate matter, Yanmen Pass cannot be lost."

Lao Cao said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, there are dark clouds everywhere, and all the passes of the Great Wall are now in the hands of Wu! The army of the Kingdom of Jin is not allowed to enter lightly, and the remnants of Lou Shi are also not allowed to leave. Then they occupied Yanmen Pass, and we are together. Lianzhou is also unique."

The reason why Zongze Yuefei was afraid of losing the Yanmen Pass was because he was worried about losing this pass. Once Jin Bing saw the world of flowers and flowers in the southern country, he became greedy, and he drove into it as if there was no one. Overjoyed——

As long as all the passes of the Great Wall are not lost, how many waves can he make with tens of thousands of troops alone?
Cao Cao suddenly sighed: "I only hate my brothers. There are infinite talents, but not many handsome ones. Now there are Zhu Dian, Du Po, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng who lead ten thousand troops to guard the tiger's mouth. Although Zhu Dian Steady, after all, I have never led an army alone, if it is really defeated by the golden soldiers, it will be troublesome."

Zongze smiled wryly and said: "'Wu Mengde', please generals are not as good as provocative generals. I understood at the age of ten that you don't need to provoke me. Yanmen Pass was lost to this old man, so I went to kill Hukou to help the staff, and redeem my merits."

Cao Cao looked at Yue Fei again: "Brother Pengju, there are many things to be considered, and you will feel wronged if I let you under my command at this time, it is better to stay in Juyongguan temporarily, the situation there is serious, you should know it! Now my four brothers, Bao Xu, Cao Zheng, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun, are guarding. These four brothers are all born in Jianghu, and they don’t know much about the art of war. Keeping this pass, two can just send people to Hebei, contact your master, ask him to take a look at the situation in the land of dark clouds, and then ask him about the past disputes, do you think about it now?"

Hearing this, Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Juyongguan is the key to the Great Wall, so don't be careless. Since 'Wu Mengde' is willing to believe in me, I'm a kid, this body will not die, and the pass will not be lost—it's just that Yue has said something first, so I'm going here." , is guarding the pass for the Han family, not your minister."

Cao Cao said solemnly: "Naturally."

Shaking my head in my heart: Forget it, another one who surrendered to Han but not Cao, it's just...you don't have a crying brother to make you worry about it!

Then he laughed and said: "Mr. Ru Lin is a genius in the world, and brother Pengju is also a rising star. With the help of the two of you, Wu can deal with this group of golden dogs with peace of mind!"

There are different teachings: Lao Cao's subordinates are rare, and Xiaoyue's old sect is for the time being.The golden armor penetrates the yellow sand of all battles, and the blood flowers bloom all over the husband's clothes.
