Chapter 5: The Eighteen Paths
"Since Brother Chang lives in seclusion in the mountains, why did he come out?" Cao Cao glanced at Chang Fa's outfit, this clothes, this appearance.
Most of the hermits in the mountains are dressed strangely, and they are dressed differently from ordinary people, and if Chang Fa is a hermit in the mountains, he really believes it.
"Cao Gong, the world is in turmoil, thieves are in charge, I heard that Cao Gong is bent on getting rid of thieves and rejuvenating Han, and he came out of the mountain to help Cao Gong. ”
Chang Fa's sentence simply said to Cao Cao's heart, whether it was secretly assassinating Dong Zhuo over the years, or participating in the alliance of princes to fight Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao's purpose was to let the world know that he had a heart to get rid of thieves and rejuvenate the country.
Regardless of whether you are true or not, as long as the world thinks so, someone will come to take refuge, and it will be much easier to recruit soldiers and horses.
When Cao Cao heard this "hermit" say such a thing, he suddenly felt that he was finally appreciated, and a hermit came out of the mountain to take refuge.
No, whether he is a real hermit or not, as long as he tells the world about the hermit's coming, his reputation will instantly increase a lot, and it is still a good reputation.
"Cao Gong, the same world, the same ...... , ah no, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, Chang is willing to be a guest of Cao Gong, and discuss the plan to get rid of thieves and help Khan. ”
In order to behave like a hermit, Chang Fa pulled out a sentence from Gu Yanwu, a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and expressed his intention to mix with Cao Cao in a crepe manner.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband.
He recited this sentence silently, the battle was neat, and the meaning was profound, and he felt that the young man named Chang Fa in front of him seemed to have some ability.
"Brother Chang, are you really here to vote for me?" Cao Cao confirmed again with some suspicion.
"Really! Cao Gong doesn't have to call me Brother Chang, just call Dafa. After speaking, Chang Fa also nodded, expressing his affirmation of his words.
"Hahahaha. Cao Cao laughed again.
"Dafa, come, let me introduce you, this is my brother Cao Hong, I didn't mean to offend you just now, but we don't know each other. Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Haha, if we don't meet here, I will naturally go to Cao Gong's camp to defect, but I do have a question for General Cao Hong. Chang Fa said, and suddenly his face turned straight.
"Why did General Cao shout and kill me when he saw me?" his voice was a little angry.
It's nonsense to say that you don't know each other, Cao Hong saw that he raised a knife and slashed, which made Chang Fa very angry, if it weren't for the fact that they had more than 100 people, Cao Hong would have been beaten into a powder fracture.
"Brother Chang, Dong Zhuo's army has been stationed on the opposite side, most of the people walking here are Dong Jun's horses, and when I saw Brother Chang walking here alone, I was suspicious and collided with Brother Chang, I'm really sorry. Cao Hong said, bowing deeply and saluting.
Yes, it turned out to be my own fault, I did a high-risk behavior, and I often said from my heart.
It turned out that the people walking alone in this place were all Tanma, and they suddenly appeared here, and said that they were nearby villagers, so it was no wonder that Cao Hong was suspicious.
Seeing him apologize to himself so respectfully, Chang Fa suddenly became embarrassed.
"General Cao, please get up, it's Chang who doesn't know the rules. Chang Fa leaned over and helped Cao Hong up.
In the afterglow of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Cao Cao glancing at Cao Hong appreciatively.
Cao Hong was a general who led troops to fight, and most of these people were short-tempered and unreasonable people, and it was basically impossible to expect them to bow down and apologize.
But Cao Hong did this, and he was able to bend and stretch, so Cao Cao was very pleased.
After explaining this misunderstanding, Cao Cao immediately invited Chang Fa to Cao's army station.
The Eighteenth Route Princes were stationed in one place, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army had already moved from Kyoto, rushing all the way to break their alliance.
At this time, the two sides have become like fire and water, and a big war is about to break out.
Sitting on Cao Cao's horse, for more than ten minutes, the hundred-man cavalry roared back to the camp.
"Dafa, and follow me into the tent to drink tea. After dismounting, Cao Cao cordially took Chang Fa's hand and prepared to enter the camp.
The ancients walked hand in hand as a way to express friendship, meaning that the two were good friends and iron buddies with a good relationship. Cao Cao did this as a gesture of goodwill.
However, as young people in the new century, college students with higher education often face this kind of behavior......
He got goosebumps.
But in this case, he could only follow the customs, and he was embarrassed and couldn't shake off Cao Cao's hand, and sighed helplessly in his heart, after ten years, the first time he held his hand was not a beautiful girl like Chen Chen, but an uncle with a long beard.
"Report-" Before Cao Cao could open the curtain of the big tent and enter, a herald shouted anxiously and rushed over.
"Lord, Dong Jun has been stationed in Tiger Pass, and Lu Bu is shouting battle under the city with one person and one horse. ”
"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Dafa, you come with me. He lowered the curtain of the tent and walked outside with Chang Fa in tow.
Cao Cao's tent was in the back, and more than a dozen other princes were also distributed nearby, and the two walked briskly for five or six minutes until they arrived at the door of a large hall in front of the city.
Chang Fa looked through the palace gate, and many princes were sitting inside, arguing "majesticly".
"Yuan Shu, why did you withhold my army's food and salary, without food, do you let my subordinates fight hungry?"
"Yuan Highway, where are the three thousand soldiers and horses you promised to allocate to me!"
"Liu Dai, why did you occupy my Dangyang Three Counties and not return ......"
The sounds of yelling, scolding, slapping the table and smashing cups are mixed together, and it is a mess, more noisy than a vegetable market.
Chang laughed.
This is indeed the original version of the Eighteen Roads, the hearts of the people are not aligned, and they are shouting to get rid of the thief, but they are actually fighting for their own interests.
Now that Lu Bu is coming to challenge, no one dares to fight, because they are afraid that they will lose their troops and let others benefit.
Cao Cao listened to the noisy noise inside, and his face showed an angry look, and he was about to walk inside.
At this time, a group of three people happened to come out of it.
Chang Fa looks at the past. Walking in the middle is an uncle with an indifferent temperament, dressed in cloth clothes, with long hands and big ears, shaking his head and sighing as he walks, with a faint look of helplessness on his face.
Seeing this man's unusually large ears and arms that almost fell to his knees, his heart often moved.
This person is like Liu Bei's Uncle Liu Huang described in the history books.
Chang Fa immediately turned his face to look at the two people behind him, and affirmed his answer in his heart.
Behind him was a black-faced man, fat and strong, with a leopard head and eyes, and a fierce face, screaming and angry as he walked.
Behind him on the right is a beautiful man with a red face, very tall, with a beard nearly half a meter long, with a dignified appearance, and he also has a serious face at this time.
These two people must be Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
There are many things in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms that are fictional, which are not completely consistent with its own history, and the Taoyuan Three Knots are also fictional.
But this is the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, here, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are good brothers and good friends who wear the same pair of pants.
Liu Bei's benevolence, Guan Yu's righteousness, and Zhang Fei's bravery, these three people are often admired.
When he was thinking about it, Cao Cao had already faced the three of them.
"Where is Brother Xuande going?"
