Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 80

With Jiangzhou's previous example widely spread across the world, the people of Pengcheng became more courageous.

As soon as Cao Cao, who called himself Song Jiang, opened his mouth, the common people knelt down in unison. The few in front of them were all poor local scholars with no fame, and they all shouted: "Your Majesty Rong, the trouble in Pengcheng lies in Zhu Xun, the Zhizhou. He has not been in office for a year. Now, my concubine has married into Room No. 17, and every time I hold a big banquet, I invite Xuzhou merchants to the banquet. Wealth and gifts are all right, otherwise they will be framed and sued. At first, the local people didn’t know how powerful they were, and seven or eight members of the rich households went out to eat what he entrapped and ruined their families. After that, none of them dared to refuse, and they had to fill his desires.”

Someone else reported: "This dog has amended the national tax law without authorization, and overcharged the gate tax, wine tax, business tax, etc. The country people carry a lot of firewood to sell in the city, and the firewood is only sold for eighty or ninety yuan. The commercial tax will cost more than a hundred cash, so who would dare to sell firewood? It is inconvenient for me in Pengcheng to light a fire, so I have to pick dry grass and sticks to pay for it.”

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he heard this: "In this way, this Zhu Xun is actually a gentry who went to the pit, poisoned the common people, and a dog official who stretched out his hands everywhere? Even Cai Jiu of Jiangzhou, whom I cut down, is not like him. So bold, who is this guy relying on?"

Someone said angrily: "This man is a disciple of Taishi Cai, that's all, he has another identity, he is the younger brother of Zhu Miao, the defense envoy of Hezhou. , causing anger and resentment in the southeast area, and many people have lost their homes and sold their children and daughters."

Another person said: "Zhu Xun, relying on the power of this clan brother, has no ink in his chest, and also served as a county magistrate in Muzhou. After two years in office, the county's mountains and seas were wiped out, and his hands were even worse. The blood debt is boundless. Later, because of lust, he forced a girl to death, but she was a relative of a local tycoon. This is the Zhizhou."

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Then this thief will die together. Although the Jiangnan heroes can't kill him, let's see what the Shandong heroes can do!"

All the people applauded, and suddenly someone said: "King Song, although you are so good, you should not underestimate the enemy. This Zhu Xun is now following the example of his elder brother Zhu Miao, and he has a private guard called 'Tax Army', which consists of three people. The 400 people are all vicious and powerful men in the north and south rivers and lakes. They are protected by him, collect taxes for him, scrape money, and do evil. Compared with this tax army, the local officers and soldiers in Xuzhou are as useless as rotten wood and mud .”

Luan Tingyu was startled when he heard that, the imperial army was corrupt, except for a few elite border troops, the general forbidden army, Xiang army, and local soldiers were not to be feared. On the contrary, this kind of private guards were carefully selected, armed, and paid for money. Those who have fed enough, dare to fight to the death, do not allow people not to worry.

So he said in a low voice: "Brother, it's not easy to get rid of this guy. If you really want to kill him, you have to gather the strength of your brothers."

Cao Cao was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect to encounter a ruthless one. Although there were only three or 400 people, they all introduced him clearly. It's a ruthless person with a fake name. I only have three people here, how can I play well?
He is not a stubborn character who wants to save face, although Li Kui shouted from the side: "What are the three or four hundred birdmen to be afraid of? Tie Niu chopped off with a pair of axes, and even three or four thousand people will be killed." Cao Cao didn't care. He moved, and was about to say a few words on the scene, so he retreated first, but saw more than 4000 people running to the city gate against the wall, first locked the city gate, came out, pointed at the three people and shouted coldly: "Xiao Xiao, how dare you?" You still have the name of Liangshan? You know my master has been waiting for you for many days!"

Just now, the common people who enthusiastically sued Zhu Xun to Cao Cao got up and shouted: "The tax army is here!" They only scattered around, and every house closed their doors. Those scholars hurriedly reminded: "The tax army is here to kill you!" , King Song Jiang, please ask yourself for blessings." Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he fled into the back alley.

There was no one else on the bustling street for a while, and the wind blew across the empty street, stirring up some leaves and dust, creating a bleak scene.

"This bird tax army, the common people will be as if they have seen a ghost when they see it. It can be seen that they are all murderers with a broken heart." Li Kui cursed and jumped off his horse. Alright, wait until Tie Niu chops and kills the gangster, and then seizes the bird gate."

The leader of the tax army smiled coldly, took out a whistle and blew it suddenly, and a sharp and clear voice spread, and on all sides of the street, more than a hundred people came with weapons, each of them had bright armor and a fat body, obviously It is a Ruishi who spent a lot of money to raise.

Seeing that all directions were blocked, Cao Cao took a deep breath and regretted secretly: "It's too big. This place is not an imperial city, nor is it a border state. Even if you want to mobilize troops and horses, you won't be able to arrive at any time. There are some officials in the city. The local soldiers can't stop the three of us. Who would have thought that a magistrate would raise such a private soldier."

But after all, he has been a soldier all his life, and he has gone through many adventures. Although he regrets Meng Lang, he is not in despair. He sneered and said, "Last time in Jiangzhou, I was so happy that I didn't fight. Today I need to stretch my muscles and bones."

Luan Tingyu was a little frightened at first, but seeing Cao Cao's calmness, he couldn't help being infected, and said with a smile: "A group of young people who are like dogs with the powerful, it is their blessing to die at our hands."

Cao Cao looked at the situation, and said in a low voice: "Tie Niu, once the battle starts, you don't care about anything else, just go straight to kill more than people in front of the door, and break the lock to open the door. Teacher Luan resisted."

After finishing speaking, he stood up on the pedals, tore off the cloth covering the weapons on the horse's back, and first took the bow and arrow hanging on the side in his hand.He said in a low voice: "Brother Luan, as soon as the enemy moves, I will shoot a few of them over, to dampen the enemy's spirit, and then the two of us will gallop back on the horse, but we must not go too deep. When I say go, we will withdraw at the same time as me." , must not be entangled by the enemy."

Luan Tingyu took off the iron rod from the victory hook, pulled out the spear head inserted in the back waist, twisted it on the tip of the stick, and it became an iron spear, trembling in his hand, he said: "Brother Xu, I'll welcome ten thousand horses alone Luan Tingyu ’, how many people are here? It’s really urgent, my brother just wants to go first, brother has this gun, and he will never let anyone go.”

Cao Cao glanced at him, and saw Luan Tingyu gritted his teeth, with veins popping out on his forehead, his eyes were determined, and he was determined to die. He reached out and grabbed his forearm, and shook it vigorously: "It won't be like this! Three, three Let's go! Don't be impulsive!"

Luan Tingyu's eyes became firmer, and he nodded slightly.

Cao Cao put the feather arrow lightly on the string, stretched his back, narrowed his eyes, and only waited for the opponent's formation to move, and then he would preemptively strike and seize the initiative.

The tax army on the main road in front of us is divided on both sides, revealing a big fat man riding a horse in the middle, wearing a golden armor, with a face like a boar, stupid and treacherous, and a pair of bitch eyes looking at Cao Cao: "You Is it Liangshan Songjiang?"

Cao Cao secretly laughed in his heart: Brother Gongming, I have tricked you several times, today I will help you gain a reputation for being brave, and I will never owe you any favors in the future.He said proudly: "It is I, Song Jiang Song Gongming, who is here! Dog officer, you have a lot of people, so today I will teach you what it means to be invincible!"

Unexpectedly, the bitch Yan Guan'er raised her head and laughed, and suddenly shouted: "Stop pretending! Song Jiang, why don't you say you are Chao Gai?"

Cao Cao couldn't help being puzzled when he heard this, and thought to himself, could it be that this guy has seen Song Jiang before?Otherwise how do you know I am not?
But the man sneered again and again: "Fang Shisan didn't care about his face in order to kill me, Zhu Xun, and let his subordinates pretend to be Liang Shan. Hehe, if this gets out, how can he save the face of his so-called Shenggong?"

Holy Duke?Fang Thirteen?

Cao Cao was taken aback. Just now, the tax army also said "waiting for you for a long time". Could it be that he entered the city on a whim, and actually blocked the guns for other forces?I also remembered just now that someone said that Zhu Xun killed the relatives of the powerful people in Jianghu in the south of the Yangtze River, and came to the north to be an official. Fang La Fang Thirteen!

Fang La's reputation is the most famous in the southern countries, and Cao Cao has heard of his name many times, but he did not expect that the first time they had a relationship, it turned out to be like this.

There are different teachings: I have always played in the rivers and lakes, and I have never been defeated by drinking and throwing my arms.Don't look at Tongsheng out of the door, this time I'm scared to rush to the street. (The rivers and lakes have always been soaring, and they are good at banquets and throwing pots. Huang Li did not come here, and Lao Cao became the king of the pot.)
