Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 77 What is the virtue of Meng Deru

Song Jiang felt that he had hurt his face, and his expression was a little uncertain.

But after all, he is not waiting for idlers. After a moment of silence, he suppressed his unhappiness and laughed without hesitation: "Brother Wang Ying is also a brave man. I know his heart. , If you take bribes and break the law, retribution is inevitable. But brothers, think about it, why do we have to be corrupt officials when we become officials, and why can’t we be honest and good officials?"

When the boss stood up for himself, Wang Xiaohu regained half of his strength in an instant, and said: "Brother is right, if Zhao Guan's family let me be an official, I will definitely love the people like a son..."

"A woman who loves the people is like a wife." Ruan Xiaoqi snatched up with a smirk, and the hall roared with laughter, and the hall was filled with a happy atmosphere, only Wang Aihu was so angry that he grew shorter out of thin air.

After laughing, Song Jiang said earnestly: "Brother Wang Ying is a bit lecherous, but he can take a few more concubines at most. It will not be bad for the people. The brothers are all warm-hearted men. If you don't want to be an official, There will be one less good official in the world..."

Seeing that Liu Tang still didn't think so, Song Jiang suddenly pointed at Cao Cao, and gave evidence: "If you don't believe me, let's look at Brother Wu! Isn't he the head of the capital? Wu Erlang is also the deputy general of Dongping Mansion, isn't he a good official?"

Cao Cao laughed, waved his hands, and said, "Brother Gongming's words are bad, Wu doesn't dare to be called a good official..." After speaking, he pretended to count, "It's almost half of this year, and Wu has four Yue is not in the county, so neglecting the errand, how dare you call it a good official."

For a while everyone laughed again, and after laughing, Song Jiangqiang laughed and said: "Although Brother Wu is not in the county, the county is full of powerful people, who is not Brother Wu's help? Naturally, there is no need to worry about things in the county. This is by no means a negligent errand."

After all, he looked at Cao Cao sincerely, and said eagerly: "Brother Wu, you can also help me persuade my brothers. I am naturally incompetent. Although I am loyal to the country, I cannot make progress. Seeing that these brothers are so heroes, why can’t they do a great job? Even if they go to the side with a knife and a gun, they will also fight for their wives and sons, and they will leave a good name in the history after a long time, and they will live up to their lives.”

The tone of his words was sincere, Cao Cao sighed, looked at the people in Liangshan and said: "Brother Gongming wants to recruit security, but he has good intentions. Although Juxiao Mountain Forest is happy, it is not the end. It's just Wu , the situation may change drastically in the future, but there is no need to rush. After all, the real priority now is how to deal with the imperial court's conquest. Brother Gongming also said that it is necessary to kill them a few times first. This is a golden theory. "

Hearing what he said, although Song Gongming was unhappy, he didn't directly say that he would not recruit security.Even Liu Tang and the Ruan family are used to being at ease in the Jianghu. Could it be that Wu uses him as a scholar, and there are still people who don't want to be an official?

He was thinking to himself, but Cao Cao got excited and got up and walked to Chao Gai: "Brother Chao, although the -mile water pond is an excellent barrier, if the imperial court comes to attack at any cost, it can be filled with thousands of troops and horses." .Brothers, we should also strengthen the strength of the cottage, recruit heroes from all over the world, refine the armor, and train the soldiers diligently. This is the real capital. Second..."

He patted his chest and said, "Even though my brother is the head of the imperial court, how can he be against all the brothers? If there are really soldiers coming to suppress him, Wu will respond to the cottage, one light and one dark, one mile and one outside, how can we be a concubine?" Nothing to lose."

Before Chao Gai could understand, Wu Yong's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, wonderful! As expected of Wei...a good brother who thinks about Liangshan!"

He looked at Chao Gai excitedly: "Brother, please think about it, if the officers and soldiers are too powerful to fight against, Brother Wu will lead the troops as the head of Yanggu County to help, then I will know the opponent's true and false movements. Why worry about undefeated officers and soldiers?"

Chao Gai understood, and was overjoyed immediately, stretched out his hand to hold Cao Cao's hand tightly and said, "If that's the case, why is Liangshan afraid of the imperial court?"

Cao Cao clasped Chao Gai backhandedly, pointed at his group of new and old brothers and said with a smile: "My brother, isn't he also the brother of the king of heaven? I'll make a detailed arrangement later. If there are brothers who like to be lively, they can go to Liangshan first. Falling grass, what's the problem?"

Chao Gai also likes to be lively, wishing to be together with his brothers all day long, he became more joyful when he heard the words, he laughed and said: "If it is according to Chao Gai's opinion, it is better to find a brother to fill the position of the head of the capital, and Brother Wu will come to Liangshan to make decisions in person. With Brother Wu's military strategy, hundreds of thousands of troops will come to attack, and you will not be afraid of him!"

Cao Cao said solemnly: "Jiangzhou and his party live and die together. In Wu's heart, we are our own family, and Liangshan, Yanggu, and Yanggu are all in the same family. It's the same for you and me who are the masters. How to divide each other."

Chao Gai, Wu Yong, etc. were overjoyed when they heard the words, and Liu Tang and the others were also overjoyed, saying: "With the words of elder brother, we will be closer to each other again."

Huang Wenbing laughed along with everyone, his small eyes sparkled, and his heart was restless like a cat scratching: "This person acts like cooking porridge on a slow fire. There is no smoke, but the porridge has boiled by itself. Now most of Liangshan is in his palm." , everyone is still unaware that these methods are profound and unpredictable, and they will have to be used in the future. I will show my true talents and practice what I have learned, and I don’t believe that I will not have a bright future.”

After roughly discussing the direction, Fan Rui asked the young men to serve a table full of wine and meat. Everyone had a drink and parted temporarily. Chao Gai and others took half of the things seized in Jiangzhou, and divided into teams to go forward.

Cao Cao and the others agreed to take a rest for a few days first, and also let the family members who had been on the road for several days take a breather and recharge their spirits, just waiting for Chao Gai to go a little farther before going on the road.

On the second day, everyone gathered in the hall to gossip again. Fan Rui took out his identity as a landlord and said with a smile: "Although this Mangdang Mountain is not high, there are several scenic spots, which are quite interesting. If you brothers are interested, we might as well Travel with wine."

Hearing this, many good men were very interested and went to visit the mountain one after another. Cao Cao was also happy to participate in it, leaving a few Xijing brothers at home to take care of him, so he took Shi Xiu and others to visit the mountain with Fan Rui.

They walked to several places of interest, and then arrived at Chen Sheng's tomb, but it was already damaged beyond recognition. They all sighed and said, "A good man, but the tomb can't be preserved." Cao Cao said, "This tomb was empty in the Eastern Han Dynasty." Yes." Shi Qian heard this, jumped into the tomb to check it out, and came out to report: "There is nothing in the stone chamber, and the stone coffin in the tomb passage has been completely damaged. Judging from the traces, it was indeed stolen hundreds of thousands of years ago."

Cao Cao sighed: "This person is also a person who stirred up the situation for a while. Han Gaozu once named him the 'King of Yin' and ordered families to farm here and guard it for generations. Unexpectedly, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the court no longer asked, and those families also How can they not be stolen and destroyed if they move away from each other?"

Fan Ruihu clapped his hands and said, "That's right! I heard that Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao raised troops in Qiao County, robbed and dug countless large tombs, and set up tombs for military funds. This Mangdang Mountain is only one or two hundred miles away from Qiao County. Evil."

Lao Cao set up General Qiu Zhonglang and Lieutenant Mojin in the past, and they were notorious. When Fan Rui said it, many people laughed.Cao Cao's expression suddenly became strange, and he was silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying: "This guy is actually very wronged. When Captain Mojin was sent here in the past, there was an empty tomb here."

Fan Rui was surprised and said: "Brother is really knowledgeable. He knows such trivial things in detail. However, Cao Cao has robbed a lot of tombs, but it is true. Hey, posting someone's tomb is too damaging."

Fan Rui just sighed casually, but Cao Cao's expression became more and more embarrassing, he walked a few steps silently, and sighed in a deep voice: "Brother Fan's words are actually quite reasonable. Heh, thinking about Cao Cao, who wanted to bring his parents to him to fulfill his filial piety, unexpectedly He killed his old parents and second younger brother, met bad guys, and killed his whole family; and because of underestimating the enemy, the generals rebelled. Unexpected death, the love of flesh and blood, the separation of yin and yang, these are all the faults of Cao Cao's lack of virtue. Oh, this guy uses Cao as his name and virtue as his character, but where is virtue? The root of this disaster."

Exercise and virtue are synonymous, and those who cultivate virtue are also good at virtue.

As he spoke, his voice became more and more sorrowful: "The eldest son Ang, who was loyal, filial and brave, died young; the youngest son Chong, extremely intelligent, died young due to jealousy... so that there are no successors. The character, in the 45th year of Guozuo District, was usurped by the Sima clan, just like the situation of usurping the Han in the past, this is also Cao Cao's fault of virtue."

With a long sigh, he spoke again after a long silence, with a sad tone:

"Han conquers the west, Han conquers the west,

The blood of the emperor is hidden in Yin Yin's clothes;
The four poles collapsed and re-established,
Surabaya does not flow bones,
There are no singing cocks in thousands of miles in the north;
Han conquers the west, Han conquers the west,
Ambition gradually shifts and meaning gradually diminishes;

Cao is your name Deru,
Wen Ruogong's death is so miserable,
Virtue is neglected to the best of our ability;
Han conquered the west and came back,
Return to the soil of the Han Dynasty and hold the Han flag;
The long journey is only Hongyi,
The blue sky above your head cannot be bullied! "

At some point, two lines of tears rolled down Cao Cao's cheeks.

If others are around, they will be afraid that their subordinates will see their panic and helplessness, but Cao Cao is frank and open. Since he wants to cry, he is not afraid of being laughed at.

Fan Rui bowed deeply: "My elder brother is so knowledgeable about Cao Cao's thoughts. It's a pity that after thousands of years, Cao Mengde's words did not reach Cao Mengde's ears, which made him realize the value of virtue."

Cao Cao shook his head: "It is said that a hero has no regrets, but a person lives a lifetime, who can have no regrets? Cao Cao spent his twilight years on the sick bed, with all kinds of past events, vividly present, do you know that he really has no regrets in his heart? Deben Intangible, the world knows it by itself, but unfortunately, it took a lifetime to understand the truth."

Fan Rui was born in Quanzhen, and felt the deepest about these issues. He sighed: "Yes, life is short, and everything is uncertain. If you understand life, life is over. Who can live it again?"

Cao Cao seemed to be in a better mood, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "If that guy can live a new life, he will benefit the people, accumulate virtue for his descendants, and bring peace to all generations."

Everyone was so depressed that they didn't dare to speak much. Seeing that Cao Cao's emotions had recovered, they finally lost the pressure. They laughed together. Huang Wenbing praised loudly: "With the great talents of Wei Wu, if we set this ambition, it will truly be the goal of all people. Blessing, the blessing of the world! However, I think the elder brother of the Wu family is very talented, and he may not be inferior to his predecessors!"

Everyone agreed, Cao Cao laughed and walked forward surrounded by his brothers.

Suddenly, I felt something in my heart. Looking back, my eyes were slightly in a trance, as if I saw the far end of time and space. There was a solid young man holding a scripture and wearing a sword. He tilted his head and looked at the blue sky above his head. The unscrupulous smile seemed to imagine that after he became the general of the Han Dynasty, he would steal the glory of the wife of the king of Xianbei.

Alas!
The past is more than a thousand years old, Wei Wu waved his whip.
