Chapter 325: Cao Ning
Cao Rong's son's name was Cao Ning, and he was ordered by the old wolf lord to lead three armies to help Jin Wuxuan. On this day, he came to the camp, and after seeing it, Cao Ning said that he had come here to help in the battle on the order of the old wolf lord.
Jin Wushu said: "You have worked hard all the way, go back to the base camp to rest first." ”
Cao Ning thanked him and asked, "Wolf Lord, how is this battle going?"
Jin Wushu said: "Don't say it, the Central Plains has Yue Fei, a barbarian of the Southern Song Dynasty, he is very powerful, his soldiers are strong and brave, and it is difficult for our army to win." ”
Cao Ning said: "Wait for the minister to meet Yue Fei for a while, see how difficult it is?"
Jin Wushu said: "Since the general is going to go into battle, I will wait to hear your good news." ”
Cao Ning said goodbye to Jin Wushu, went out of the camp and got on his horse, and led the troops to the Song camp to fight. This Cao Ning is a brave general in the Jin Kingdom, he is more ruthless than Lu Wenlong, and he used a black iron gun, which is as thick as a bowl. Jin Wushu said that the Yue family general was so powerful that he couldn't beat him, but fortunately, Lu Wenlong won two battles in a row, and the Yue family army hung up the battle card, so he suspended the troops. In order to show his means, Cao Ning asked for an order to fight with the Yue family's army, and Jin Wuxuan ordered Cao Ning to go out to fight.
Cao Ning led the troops to the front of the Song camp and shouted: "Well, I heard that the men and horses of your Yuejia army are like wolves and tigers, why did you put up this shameful card? ”
The little colonel hurriedly entered the camp and reported: "There was a junior general Jin Guo who was fighting outside the camp, and he said that he was going to kick into the camp. ”
The following can annoy Xu Qing and Jin Biao, and the two stepped forward and said: "The young general is here, and he has not yet made great contributions, and the two of us are willing to go out to capture the generals and make contributions." Yue Fei immediately ordered the removal of the exemption card, and allowed the two to go out to challenge.
The two of them received the order and led the soldiers to the front of the battle. Xu Qing stepped forward and shouted: "General, report your name!"
Cao Ning said: "I am Cao Ning, the general under the command of the Dajin Guojin Wu, who are you?"
Xu Qing said: "I am Marshal Yue's tent in front of Xu Qing, come and receive my sword!"
Jin Biao couldn't stop his heart from burning and scolded: "Golden dog, dare to hurt my brother, look at the knife!"
Jin Biao shook the three-pointed knife and slashed at the face. Cao Ning saw that he was coming fiercely, opened the gun frame, returned to the horse and left, Jin Biao patted the horse and rushed over, Cao Ning returned to the horse and stabbed Jin Biao in the front heart, Jin Biao couldn't dodge, was in the center of the nest, and fell off the horse. Cao Ning made a move of the gun, and the Jin soldiers stepped forward together, killing the Song soldiers in defeat and fled, Cao Ning took the heads of Xu Qing and Jin Biao, and went back to the camp to report his merits.
Song Bing returned to the camp with the headless corpse on his back and reported to Yue Fei, Yue Fei heard this, his eyes were full of tears, and he ordered the coffin to be prepared. This annoyed the young general Zhang Xian, he asked for the order to fight, Yue Fei allowed it, Zhang Xian picked up his gun and got on the horse, came to the front of the battle to fight, and named Cao Ning to go out.
Cao Ning got the report, led the troops to the front of the battle, and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhang Xian said: "I am Zhang Xian, the general under the generalissimo Yue Fei. ”
Cao Ning said: "You are Zhang Xian? I was about to take you." ”
The two fought with two guns, and fought for more than 40 times, regardless of victory or defeat. Look at the red sun sinking in the west, Fang Yu stopped fighting, and each withdrew his troops.
The next day, Cao Ning led his troops to the front of the battle again, and Yue Fei ordered Yan Chengfang to go out to meet the enemy. Yan Chengfang came to the front of the battle, and Cao Ning shouted, "Who is coming?"
Yan Chengfang said: "I am the commander of Marshal Yue Yan Chengfang, you are a golden dog, but is it Cao Ning?"
Cao Ning said: "I am Cao Ning, the former general of the Golden Vulture Wolf Lord's account, since I know my prestige, why don't you get off the horse and surrender?"
Yan Chengfang said: "I was about to take you." ”
Yan Chengfang raised his hammer to fight, and Cao Ning held it with a gun. The two fought for more than 40 rounds, until late the day, when they each withdrew their troops. After fighting for several days, Yue Fei had to hang out the battle exemption card again, and Yue Fei saw that Jin Ying had added another brave general, and the more he felt very depressed.
When Wang Zuo, who was in the Jin camp, heard this, he panicked, he came to Lu Wenlong's camp, and saw Lu Wenlong in the tent, Lu Wenlong asked, "Bitter man, what story will you tell today?"
Wang Zuo said: "I have a wonderful story today, but I must call these soldiers out, and only His Highness will be left to listen." ”
Lu Wenlong ordered everyone who was waiting to go out, and Wang Zuo saw that the soldiers were all going out, so he took out a painting and presented it and said, "Your Highness, please read it first, and then I will talk about it." ”
Lu Wenlong took a look and saw that it was a picture, and there was a person on the picture who was somewhat recognized, as if it was Jin Wuxuan's father-in-law. Then I saw a general and a woman dead in a large hall, and a little child crying beside the woman, and there were many golden soldiers in the painting.
Lu Wenlong asked, "Bitter man, what kind of story is this?" I don't understand, you tell me about it." ”
Wang Zuo said: "Your Highness, please flash to the side first, and wait for me to point to the picture." The location in the picture is Lu'an Prefecture in the Central Plains, this dead old man, the official residence festival envoy, surnamed Lu Mingdeng, this dead woman is Mrs. Xie, this son, named Lu Wenlong. ”
Lu Wenlong asked, "Bitter man, why is he also called Lu Wenlong?"
Wang Zuo said: "Listen, this Changping King Jin Wushu soldiers rushed to attack Lu'an Prefecture, this Lu Wenlong's father is loyal, and his wife is full. Seeing that his son Lu Wenlong was young, Jin Wuyu ordered his nurse to hold him well, take him to Jin Kingdom, and consider him his righteous son, and now it has been thirteen years. Wouldn't it be painful for him to call his enemies his fathers instead of avenging his parents?"
Lu Wenlong said: "Bitter man, you are obviously talking about me. ”
Wang Zuo said: "It's not about you, but it's about not making it myself? I broke my arm for you, if you don't want to believe what I said, you can go in and ask the nurse to know." ”
Before Wang Zuo finished speaking, he saw the wet nurse crying and crying and walked out, she said: "I have been eavesdropping on the side for a long time, the general's words are true, the lord and the lady are really so bitter to die." When the nurse had finished speaking, she burst into tears.
When Lu Wenlong heard this, he knelt down and bowed down with tears in his eyes and said: "I am an unfilial son, how can I know such hatred? I don't know the truth until today, how can I not avenge my parents?"
Lu Wenlong knelt down to Wang Zuo: "Engong accepts my worship, this kindness and virtue, I Lu Wenlong will not forget it." ”
Lu Wenlong bowed, drew his sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I'll go and kill the enemy, take his head, and then we will return to the Song Kingdom together." ”
Wang Zuo hurriedly stopped: "The prince can't make a mistake, there are many people under Jin Wuxuan's account, and if the big thing fails, he will suffer from it, and everything needs to be thought twice before acting." ”
Lu Wenlong said: "What should I do according to what Gong Engong said?"
Wang Zuo said: "Wait for the opportunity to build some credit, and it is not too late to return to the Song Dynasty." ”
Lu Wenlong said: "I have been taught. "The golden soldiers were outside, and they only heard crying and crying, and they knew what was going on inside.
Wang Zuo asked, "Then what is Cao Ning's origin?"
Lu Wenlong said: "He is the son of Cao Rong and grew up abroad. ”
Wang Zuo said: "I think this person is also loyal and upright. Childe can invite him and wait for me to probe his tone with words. ”
According to Wang Zuo's words, Lu Wenlong ordered someone to invite General Cao to come. Not long after, Cao Ning arrived, he dismounted and entered the camp tent, finished saluting, and sat down. I saw Wang Zuo enter from outside, and Lu Wenlong said, "This is General Cao, you have to salute." Wang Zuo saluted Cao Ning.
Lu Wenlong said: "General, Wang Zuo can tell good stories. ”
Cao Ning said, "Ask him to tell me a story." ”
Wang Zuo told the two stories of the birds returning to the south and the Hua Lu going north, Cao Ning said: "Birds and beasts still know how to miss their homeland, how can people be inferior to birds and beasts?"
Lu Wenlong said: "Does the general know where your grandfather was born?"
Cao Ning said: "Your Highness, Cao Ning is young, I really don't know. ”
Lu Wenlong: "It's from the Song Dynasty." ”
Cao Ning: "How does Your Highness know?"
Lu Wenlong said: "You will know if you ask the bitter people." ”
Cao Ning: "Bitter man, do you know?"
Wang Zuo said: "I know that Ling Zun was deceived by Liu Yu of Shandong and surrendered to the Jin State, and the official title of Zhao Yu was sealed, so he was trapped in the Jin State. But he didn't want to repay his father's kindness, but abandoned his ancestors, so I told these two stories. ”
Cao Ning said: "Bitter man, Your Highness is here, you have to talk nonsense." ”
Lu Wenlong came to visit Wang Zuo with his broken arm, explained his grievances one by one, and then said: "Isn't it a pity that the general is trapped in the Jin Kingdom? ”
Cao Ning said: "If there is such a thing, then I will go to the Song camp, but I am afraid that Marshal Yue will not believe it and will not accept me." ”
Wang Zuo said: "When the last general repairs a book, it will be brought back to the general." Wang Zuo then wrote a book and handed it to Cao Ning.
Cao Ning took it and put it away, said goodbye and returned to the camp, he thought about it all night, his mind had been decided, and in the early morning of the next day, he got up and dressed neatly, got on his horse and went out of the gold camp, until he dismounted in front of the Song camp and said: "Cao Ning is waiting to see Marshal Yue." ”
The sergeant entered the camp to report, and Yue Fei said, "Let him in." ”
Cao Ning came to the tent and knelt down and said, "The sin general has come to return to the Song Kingdom, and today there is a letter from General Wang Zuo. ”
Yue Fei took the letter and opened it to read, he understood in his heart, and said with great joy: "My younger brother has broken his arm and reduced his gold, and he has made such a miraculous feat today, and it is not in vain that he has suffered a lot." ”
Yue Fei then hid the letter and said: "General Cao does not dislike his hometown, lives up to his ancestors, and returns to the Song Kingdom. ”
Yue Fei instructed the flag: "Give General Cao a new coat and armor." Cao Ning thanked him.
