Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 322

Four days later, Cao Cao led an army to Qin County.

When he returned from Jingnan and took command of Xijing, he already had [-] soldiers in his hands. Due to the shortage of food and grass in the city, he divided half of them and ordered Sun An and others to take them to Liangshan.

Then they recruited Huaixi thieves, and their strength reached [-]. They then defeated the Jinzhong Army twice, and selected [-] soldiers from among the captives to form the Taixing Army. More than ten thousand surrendered troops.

Divide 5000 troops to fight Qingyuan, and bring 30,000 people to rescue Taiyuan. Li Kui captured more than [-] prisoners, and the main force stopped Tian Hu from defeating the main force. , carefully pulled out two [-] people who were strong and strong, and filled them into the Taihang Army. The rest were either recruited by Han Cunbao or sent back to their hometowns.

Therefore, when he left Taiyuan, he had a total of [-] troops under his command, including [-] Huainan Army and [-] Taixing Army.

Bian Xiang and Ma Ling asked Ying to be the vanguard, drove to the base of the city, and brought out Tian Hu's king flag and Wu Li's sword to show that there were only two thousand guards in the city, and they were all timid. Not daring to fight, he decisively opened the door and sacrificed the city.

Cao Cao led the army into the city and ordered all the troops to commit no crimes and not to disturb the people. He only confiscated all the property of a puppet official—only the puppet uncle Wu Li’s family kept half of his family’s property for his wife’s retirement, and moved him to Qingzhou. To live here, in order to repay the virtue of adopting Qiongying, and to give Qiongying the name of filial piety.

When Qiongying heard this, she burst into tears of gratitude, and became more and more aware of how kindly this uncle treats her.

Why did Cao Cao value this woman so much?One is because she pitied her for her lonely life, but she did not fall into the lofty aspirations of the clouds. With the body of a young and weak girl, she could angrily kill the enemy chieftain, avenge her parents' blood, and keep chivalry and filial piety in her heart; the second and most fundamental reason was that she He is the eldest disciple of Wu Erlang.

The official heard: It turns out that the masters and apprentices in ancient times are very different in later generations.The so-called heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers, these five are the foundation of ethics!Among them, teachers and teachers are not the same-teachers, such as Lin Chong who taught the Forbidden Army marksmanship, teachers, such as Zhou Tong to Yue Fei, Wu Song to Qiongying, this is a master, a teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime, it is not necessary. It's just a nice word, but a real ethical principle.

For example, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the hero Yang Guo wanted to take his teacher as his wife, and the martial arts world was shocked.

Therefore, Qiongying was like a child to Wu Song, without a doubt, a long-term disciple who loves his younger brother, and has extraordinary ambitions, such a rare and good son, this is the reason why Cao Cao loves him so much.

That night, Cao Cao was staying at the Tianhu Palace. Niu Wenzhong came to see him, entered the room and said with a smile: "Fan Quan, the guard of this city, is an old acquaintance of my younger brother. I just found my younger brother and gave him 1000 taels as a bribe. I beg my younger brother to replace him." Introduction."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "You are honest. If so, [-]% of the money will be confiscated. Let Fan Quan come in."

Niu Wenzhong then went to lure Fan Quan in, but Fan Quan was born with a handsome face, but he was just flattering, which was unpleasant.

When the man saw Cao Cao, he danced and paid respects. Cao Cao waved his hands and said, "You don't need to be too polite. Since you want to see me at all costs, you must tell me something important, and let me listen to it."

Fan Quan didn't expect Niu Wenzhong to tell the story of accepting bribes, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled all over his face, and said cautiously: "The villain took the liberty to come to see him, it's not for other reasons, but because the villain has a daughter who was born to overwhelm the country." The color of the city, the villain once asked an expert to tell her fortune, but it was an extremely precious fate, and it was very prosperous. Later, Tian Hu heard about it and forced him into the palace. It is ridiculous that Tian Hu is a traitor. He is just a reckless person How can I bear my beloved daughter? Today, the villain sees the majesty of the Jiedu Envoy, who has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the body of the sun, and admires him in his heart. Therefore, he specially presents his daughter here, one of which shows the loyalty of the villain. The two talk about the loneliness of the general."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's rare that you have such a heart..." He touched his waist, but found nothing, because the Yitian sword was given to Qiongying, and he had not found a new sword to wear, so his expression did not change. , waved and smiled: "Come forward."

Fan Quan didn't know what he meant, so he rushed forward in small steps. Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pulled out Fan Quan's saber, and pierced Fan Quan's heart with a sword. Fan Quan was about to scream, but Cao Cao kicked half of his teeth, so he could only shut up and howl. With a grim smile on his face, he said: "It is said that we are close relatives of flesh and blood, but this guy sells girls for glory, and even sells them again. I really don't know what shame is. If people like you live in the world, I will fight to help the world, wouldn't it be in vain? effort?"

After finishing speaking, he twisted the sword until Fan Quan convulsed and died, then slowly pulled it out, sneered, and asked, "Did he bring his daughter?"

Niu Wenzhong was so frightened that his face turned pale, he nodded repeatedly and said: "His daughter is right outside the door, she is Fan Meiren whom Tian Hu regards as a treasure."

Cao Cao said, "Take me to see you."

Niu Wenzhong hurriedly led the way, Cao Cao followed him out of the room, and saw a delicate and embossed beauty under the long corridor not far away, standing silently with her hazel head hanging down, looking at her lovely and pitiful demeanor, I really felt pity for it.

Cao Cao couldn't help but walked forward quickly, the woman heard the footsteps, turned her head to look slowly, but saw her face was as flawless as a beautiful jade, her eyes were like lacquer spots, her lips were like cinnabar, her beauty was shocking .

At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and the silver light was shining down. The woman's body was bathed in it, as if Chang'e descended from the mortal world in the moon.

Cao Cao is a romantic figure who has seen all the beauties, but he didn't expect this woman to be so beautiful, so he couldn't help gasping, and thought to himself: "No wonder that Fan Quan dared to sell the girl with such a carefree attitude. Capital! He made a mistake, if he actually brought his daughter to see him, even Cao Mou might not have the heart to kill his father in front of this daughter."

I couldn't help but look at this woman again, sighed, and thought: "Fortunately, I killed him first, killed his father, and then took his daughter. If this deed spreads, some brothers will not accept me." , and that's why I can hold back my evil intentions!"

The thought was certain, the obsessive expression in his eyes disappeared, his eyes rolled twice, and suddenly he came up with a plan, looked at the beauty, smiled and said: "Tian Hu's rebellion is a serious crime against the nine clans. If it is about the law, even you There is no escape, but your appearance is rare in the world. If you die early, it will be a treasure! In my opinion, it is better to take you back to the capital and dedicate it to the official. The official will love you deeply, and you will be rich and honored Wuyou, this can be regarded as a kind of sympathy, I don't know what you mean?"

When the woman heard the words, she couldn't believe it at first, and then she couldn't help showing ecstasy. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Cao Cao without blinking and said, "If this is the case, the general will be the concubine's reborn parents."

Cao Cao laughed, waved his hands and said, "Don't talk about your parents. Although I may not be a good person, I don't want to be compared with your father. Do you know that? He wants to dedicate you to me for wealth, but he is afraid of being punished." I went to Tian Hu's old department to take revenge, so I sold you for three thousand gold, and hurried away with my belongings, no matter how I treat you, hehe, such a cold-blooded person is really rare in the world."

Hearing this, Fan Meiren couldn't help showing anger on her face at first, then forcibly suppressed it, and when she raised her head again, she showed a pitiful expression and cried softly: "He has been like this since he came. A big grandson, received a generous gift from others, and later Tian Hu gained power and dedicated me to Tian Hu, but now he is even more ruthless. Forget it, since ancient times, a concubine has a bad life, let alone a concubine? It is just a waste of money for the general , it really makes this concubine feel uneasy, or else..."

With a blink of her eyes, those few tears just now disappeared, and she looked at Cao Cao charmingly, and exhaled like blue: "Otherwise, I might as well accompany the general for a few days, and when I get to Bianjing, I will dedicate my body to the official family." Chi, although this act is disrespectful to the officials, it finally repays the general's kindness."

Cao Cao's eyes widened in an instant, thinking what a woman she really is to repay her kindness!Is this to teach Cao to learn from Lu Buwei?It's just that if I plant a seed, how can I let him recognize that trash as his father?

Struggling a little, he waved his hands righteously and said: "It's not that Wu is ignorant of good intentions, it's just that the king is the leader of the minister. Since he is determined to dedicate you to the official family, he will naturally treat you with courtesy and kindness, and dare not have other thoughts."

Fan Meiren showed a hint of surprise, then nodded and said: "Since this is the case, if I make an inch in the future, I will never forget the general's kindness."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The harem is also a place where cannibals are located. I am the favorite general of Privy Tong. Since I sent you in, I will not ignore you. I always ask Privy Tong to take care of you so that you can live in peace. I wish it would be enough." .”

Fan Meiren thanked her again, Cao Cao summoned Shi Qian immediately, and ordered him to protect Fan Meiren from today onwards, and not allow idlers to approach her.

When Shi Qian led Fan Meiren down, Niu Wenzhong stepped forward and said with a look of admiration: "Such beauty is not wavering in front of her, brother is really a man!"

Cao Cao looked up at the bright moon for a while, his face was full of holiness, and he sighed: "If you have killed your brothers and close relatives because of lust, you will naturally learn to control your own desires."

Niu Wenzhong's heart of respect grew stronger and stronger, and he said in his heart that if he only talked about women's sex, this person is more than Tianhu. If I follow him with my heart, there will be some results in the future!Just as he was sighing, Cao Cao turned around. Under his belt, there was a bulge, and a smile appeared on his face: "Although this woman is a snake, she is really seductive. Brother Niu, let alone, this time Are there skilled women in the city?"

Three days later, the army looted all of Tian Hu's treasury, and the whole army set off. Within a few days, they arrived at Weisheng Army. With Du Po and Niu Wenzhong as the vanguard, they defeated Tian Biao. After more than [-] battles, Tian Biao was captured.

The army continued to go south, and a day later, they copied the back road of Huguan.

The Huguan garrison had been in a stalemate with the Song Army led by Wang Huan, the Jiedu envoy of Hebei Province in Henan Province, and Zhang Kai, the Jiedu envoy of Anping in Zhongshan, for many days, blocking them to the east of Taihang Mountain. After some discussion, they had no choice but to surrender—because they fought with the Hebei Song Army for many days and formed a blood feud, so they came to ask Cao Cao to surrender. A total of six guards undressed and came to surrender.

Cao Cao took the rope with his own hands, and asked their names one by one. They were Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye (Yin Ye), Jin Ding, Huang Yue, Mei Yu, and Jin Zhen.

These six heard that it was the famous "Wu Mengde", and they were all elated, and they all shouted: "Brother, you are so famous, if you were the one who led the troops to attack Huguan, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Cao Cao took Huguan without bloodshed, so he sent someone to change the Song flag, and went out to inform the Hebei Song army.

"Old Merry" Wang Huan and "Kaishanhu" opened the two to receive the letter, and they both scolded: "I waited for many days regardless of life and death, but let him sit back and enjoy the great work! Go, go and argue with him!"

The two old generals came here with hundreds of confidantes and elites, and Cao Cao had already brought all the generals to meet him. The two angry ones did not get off their horses, and rode their horses until they stopped two feet in front of Cao Cao. The generals behind Cao Cao suddenly changed their colors.

Cao Cao, as if he didn't realize it, smiled to himself: "Wang Jiedu and Zhang Jiedu fought hard. The younger generation is Qingzhou Jiedu envoy Wu Zhi, and I am here to welcome the two old generals into the pass."

Zhang Kai shouted: "Since you know that we are waiting for the hard work, how did you secretly take this pass? You marched along Qinshui, how did you come to me to claim merit?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Old general Rong Zhi, I and Liu Yanqing, the old general Liu, marched all the way and took down Qinyuan. When they heard that Taiyuan and Jinning were fighting endlessly, they divided their troops to help. We went all the way to Taiyuan and broke the fields. After discussing with Han Jiedu, he returned to the army and returned to the court. He broke Tian Biao along the way and saw that Huguan had not yet entered, so he came to help, but he did not intend to take credit. On the return report, it only said that the Hebei army broke Huguan. Wouldn’t it be great if our army arrived?”

Hearing that he was willing to give up the merits of Huguan, the two veterans looked at each other, half of their anger subsided, and Wang Huan said again: "In this way, you are polite, we are all veterans, so we don't care about your juniors. It's just that among the surrendered generals, one was named Wen Zhongrong and the other was named Jinding. These two killed my two favorite generals. You hand over the two thieves and wait for me to take the head and heart and pay homage to my subordinates. "

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard the words, cupped his hands and smiled bitterly: "Wang Jiedu said it too late. If it had been earlier, it would be fine to let Wang Jiedu take it to kill him. But now I have allowed them to surrender. If they go back on their promises, the younger generation I have lost my faith, and I will not be able to lead troops in the future. I have to ask Wang Jiedu for forgiveness. As for the two generals who died in battle, Wu has another generous pension in his private pocket, which can be regarded as paying for the lives of Wen and Jin. how?"

Wang Huan rolled his eyes strangely, and shouted: "It's funny what you said. Doesn't Wang Huan have any money to bully me? Besides, whether you bring soldiers or not is your own business. I just want to avenge my subordinates, and nothing else ask."

Zhang Kai pretended to persuade: "Wu Jiedu, you don't know that Lao Wang loves his brothers the most, so why did you bother to break the heart of your family because of two thieves? This is your fault. "

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but get angry. He treated these old Jiedu with smiles. First, he respected them for their meritorious service in fighting against foreigners.But if you think that he is easy to deceive because of this, I am afraid that these people think too much.

Immediately, his face turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Two old generals, please respect yourself. Why should you kill someone who Wu has subdued with his own ability?"

Wang Huan said angrily: "You are so arrogant. If it weren't for the two of us attacking day and night, how could you take advantage of the chaos and attack the rear? What do you say? Just rely on this spear in Wang's hand!"

Zhang Kai also shouted: "There is also this gun in Zhang's hand! Wu Jiedu, with the two guns of the two of us, don't we deserve to ask you for two people?"

At this point, before Cao Cao could speak, several people behind him laughed loudly at the same time: "Haha, hehe, interesting, interesting!"

There are different teachings: when the tree wants to be quiet, the wind will not stop, and people will find it difficult to calm their thoughts and anger.Why the turmoil before the pass is only because the heroes are still seldom known.
