Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 8 Wu Mengde's Fame Broadcast

Once a person has a reputation, status will follow.

At the beginning, it was only the local "heroes" such as the county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant, and even local wealthy merchants and rich men who made friends with him. They kept entertaining him every day, and sat down and talked with each other every day. After a while, the businessmen and celebrities who came and went also heard about this person's reputation. Anyone who comes to Yanggu County must pay a visit.

After more than a month, the news of a hero "Broken Gate Sword" Wu Zhi from Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture has spread throughout Shandong and Hebei.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that this Duanmenjian is not only majestic, generous and generous, but more rare is that he has extraordinary insight and a broad mind. He is omnipotent in governing the country, literature, military, and even commercial farming.

Many things that seem tortuous and incomprehensible to others can be clarified in a few words in his mouth, which makes those who talk to him always have a sense of enlightenment.He is especially good at talking about Cao Cao, and he often says "If Duke Cao will do this", "If the king of Wei will take care of it", "Mr. Cao has a precedent for this, so it just needs to be like this", so he soon got another one. Nickname: "Wu Mengde".

One is that his surname is Wu, and the other is that in the hearts of Song people, Cao Cao is not good at martial arts, but this Wu Dalang is very good at swordsmanship, so he is called Wu Mengde.

It should be noted that there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Nicknames are very important to people in the Jianghu. They are not only a code name, but also serve as a brochure and a slogan. A good code name has a huge bonus to a person's reputation in the world and society.

In the arena, it is not easy to have a nickname. Many people have nicknames by themselves, and they have not made a name for themselves. Every time they have to be wronged, they have to introduce themselves.

A real gangster would not be so ashamed. For example, Song Jiang, every time he introduces himself, he is very self-effacing and says: "Xiao Ke's name is Song Jiang." Righteousness, Brother Song Gongming from Timely Rain?"

This is called portion.

Song Jiang has a high prestige ceiling for many Jianghu people, so he has multiple code names.

Hu Baoyi, timely rain, and there is Xiaoyi Heishanlang.

Now Wu Dalang played by Cao Cao also has two nicknames, Broken Gate Sword and Wu Mengde, which shows his prestige in the world.

Moreover, unlike Song Jiang, who only relied on being willing to spend money and being generous in his prestige among the bottom groups of the rivers and lakes, Cao Cao was generally willing to spend money and was generally generous. Wisdom is also highly valued among the middle and upper class, and often a penetrating analysis can bring great help to others, so there are too many people who are willing to make him famous.

On this day, as usual, more than a dozen well-dressed idlers gathered around, helping the drunk Cao Cao home like a father. Two of them each picked up a pair of baskets, hehehehe quite For Shen Shi.

As soon as I set foot on Zishi Street, I was greeted with cordial and sincere greetings from the neighbors.

"Da Lang, where did you come back after drinking?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "There is an official Chai in Cangzhou. He heard my name and asked him to send some gifts. He came here from a long distance and treated them to a drink."

"Hey, isn't it Chai Jin Chai? That's an extravagant character."

"Yeah, I've heard his name mentioned a lot, and I should meet him when I have the chance." Although Cao Cao drank, he didn't get drunk, his face was red, and he answered questions with a smile.

Some also took the opportunity to sell it: "Oh, when can't I say something? I didn't see Dalang drinking, let him go back quickly, don't suffer from the cold again."

"Thank you for your concern, my lower body is still strong, see you tomorrow..."

Just saying hello all the way home, Pan Jinlian heard the movement early, opened the door and stood waiting in front of the door.

Looking at her attire, the colorful brocade from Chengdu, the silk from Hangzhou, the embroidery from Suzhou, and the tailors from Jinling, she is really full of brocade and silk. Look at her neck, wrists, fingers, and yellow hair. What is gold is what is white, what is white is silver, what is warm is jade, what is light is treasure, such as hairpins, hairpins, pendants, tins, grates, pendants, rings, chains, bracelets, rings... all kinds of colors are available. , when the warm light of the setting sun shines, it is so bright and eye-catching, even the empresses in the palace are not so brilliant.

Her appearance is also outstanding, with a face of peach blossoms in March, eyebrows of willow leaves in early spring, a pair of charming eyes with amorous feelings, snow-white skin like snow and jade, graceful and slender waist, and a light sandalwood mouth with a slight fragrance. Coupled with what you are wearing today, it is really like a beauty walking out of the picture.

In front of this beautiful woman, none of the idlers who helped Cao Cao back dared to look up, they all lowered their heads, and the two burden-bearers lowered their heads and smiled: "Sister-in-law, this is the famous little whirlwind Chai Jin Chai in Cangzhou The gift for Brother Wu will be placed in the main room for you."

Pan Jinlian nodded slightly, stepped forward to help her, her face was full of concern and tenderness: "Ah, you, I heard that a housekeeper came, and I just let the little brothers accompany you to drink, but you want to drink this by yourself. As much as you think your body is made of iron..."

The idlers around nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Mrs. Wu, the elder brother of the Wu family is just too loyal..."

Cao Cao put his arms around the woman's slender waist, and said with a slight smile, "You don't know if I'm made of iron?"

Pan Jinlian blushed in an instant, bit her lip, stomped her feet and said, "Damn it, is it okay to say such things in public?"

Those idlers looked up at the sky one after another: "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, my ears are broken, sister-in-law, brother, let's go first, and come tomorrow to serve brother and play tricks."

"Wait!" Cao Cao stopped the crowd, with his eyes half-opened and half-closed, he touched his bosom and took out a big silver of ten taels: "Just now I saw that you were only joking and persuading people to drink, and you didn't eat well. Find a place to have a good meal."

The group of idlers refused to reach out their hands, and said in a hurry: "On weekdays, whoever eats and drinks my brother, is there anyone who is reaching out to take it?"

Cao Cao laughed, and said: "They are all brothers from my own family. What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to wait, I will throw it away." After saying that, he threw the money away, and the idlers quickly picked it up, bowing one by one: "In that case, thank you brother for your generosity."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense, nonsense."

Pan Jinlian hurriedly said: "Let's go, your brother is going to sleep." He helped Wu Da enter the room and closed the door.

The idle man respectfully waited until the door was bolted, and then left, chattering among himself, one said: "Two days ago, there was a blind man in front of the Lion Tower who told a fortune teller, saying that our Ziqi East, Yanggu County Come on, there must be a hero from here, and as expected, it should be on the elder brother of the Wu family."

The other said: "Isn't it? I have a dysentery head, Wang Xiaosi, and no one loves me all my life. Only the brother of the Wu family took care of me as if I were his own brother. He passed by my house that day and bought ten catties of meat, saying that he wanted me to eat more." The meat is so big."

Another said: "Hey, Brother Wu is good in everything, but he is a little short, otherwise he is not like a god?"

The idlers were furious, and a man flew up and kicked him, saying viciously: "Liu Ping, if I hear you say anything bad about brother Wu, I will kick your teeth. Beauty and ugliness are nothing."

The man named Liu Ping called Qu and said, "I didn't say that Brother Wu's family is not good. Damn it, I had a knife sore that day. If Brother Wu's family hadn't bumped into him and gave me twenty taels of silver to ask a doctor for medicine, I would have been in bed early." Into the mass grave, he is my Liu Ping's reborn mother, how can I say he is not good? I mean, it would be better if he was taller."

Someone shouted: "There is nothing perfect in the world, besides what Zhou Tongtou said is right, tall and short, beautiful and ugly are nothing, but Wu's elder brother is short, I don't see how my sister-in-law loves him so much?"

……

A group of idlers were talking excitedly, and they didn't notice that there was a tall and dusty man behind him, and there was a puzzled look on their faces.
