Because the detour to Taiyuan was self-proclaimed, and he did not know the banditry in Shanxi, he was afraid that there would be too much delay, so Cao Wenzhao had to lead his troops to travel day and night.

When Wu Shengsheng heard the report, he sighed with emotion: "Wen Zhao believes in people, and he lives up to me." ”

Everyone said: "Please Cao Wenzhao to lead his troops to come, originally in order to clear out the rogue bandits, now the head of the rogue bandits, Gao Jiaji, has been annihilated, and the bandits in Shanxi are no longer to worry, why is the governor still looking forward to his arrival so much?" ”

Wu Shengsheng said with a slight reproach: "You don't understand, the current situation, it is difficult to eliminate bandits, if you can leave Cao Wenzhao in Shanxi, it is really a blessing for Wu, a blessing for Shanxi." ”

said, seeing that everyone was still half-convinced, he said: "When Wu was doing the imperial history, he paid special attention to this Cao Wenzhao, this person is a hero of bandits, but he is not treated by his boss, and he always deliberately lowers his merits when evaluating his merits, and even some people shamelessly blame him, and he has no complaints.

Alas, there are not many people like him these days. As the governor of Shanxi, Wu can't manage other places, but at least he should advocate an atmosphere of advocating heroes in Shanxi, so that he is satisfied. ”

Everyone said again: "It is said that this Cao Wenzhao is not afraid of fame, profit, and power, and it is not easy to satisfy him." ”

Wu Shengsheng said with a smile: "Everyone thinks about it a lot, in fact, it is simple, it seems that this kind of person is the most unbearable respect, as long as he is respected, he has the heart to die for you." ”

After speaking, he turned to the Chinese army and asked, "How far is General Cao from Taiyuan now?" ”

Zhongjun said: "Less than twenty miles." ”

When Wu Shengsheng heard this, he stood up, said, "Everyone, follow Wu out for ten miles", and went out first.

Cao Wenzhao didn't want Wu Shengsheng to be like this, his eyes involuntarily burst into tears, for fear of being seen, he secretly erased it, flew off the horse, ran over and hugged Wu Shengsheng tightly. After a while, I felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly let go and saluted according to the rules.

Wu Shengsheng was moved by his sincere feelings, hurriedly returned the courtesy, personally led him into the city, and after proper placement, he held a feast to wash the dust for him.

Now that everyone has understood Wu Shengsheng's intentions, and they feel that they still have a little face, which one can not compete for the banquet?

After more than half a month, seeing that Cao Wenzhao was sullen, Wu Shengsheng deliberately teased him: "What, I don't think Wu is well entertained, and I don't want to stay in Shanxi?" ”

Cao Wenzhao said sincerely: "How many times has Wen Zhao lived such a comfortable life in his life? However, Wen Zhao is the emperor's commander-in-chief military officer for aid and suppression, and his duty is to suppress bandits, and there is no major bandit trouble in Shanxi, so what is the use of Wen Zhao staying in Shanxi? ”

Wu Shengsheng said sincerely: "General Cao's loyalty to the country can be learned from heaven and earth, and Wu really admires it." ”

Cao Wenzhao was about to be humble, and Wu Shengsheng's Chinese army came in and said: "Lord Governor Qiqi, the new military governor of the five provinces, Lord Hong, plans to pass on General Cao to participate in the Xinyang Conference, and ask the governor to decide." ”

Wu Shengsheng glanced at Cao Wenzhao, and before he could speak, Cao Wenzhao had already said: "Lord Hong came back from Xining, the saddle horse was tired, and the generals of the Xinyang Conference did not rest, which shows that the bandits are urgent, and there must be major arrangements, and Wen Zhao does not dare to stay any longer, so he will leave and go." ”

Although Wu Shengsheng was reluctant, he still said: "What Wen Zhao said is very true, you should go as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, seeing that Cao Wenzhao had already walked out, he shook his head unconsciously, and said secretly: "If all officials can be like Cao Wenzhao, why can't the Ming Dynasty be strong?" ”

After the deployment was completed, seeing the generals taking the orders and leaving, the stuffiness in Hong Chengchou's chest disappeared a lot, and he went to stand in front of the map again, looking blankly. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Where is Cao Wenzhao now?" ”

The Chinese army said dissatisfiedly: "This Cao Wenzhao is too disagreeable, and he is actually late for the meeting." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "You can't blame him, the notice I gave itself was later than others." As he spoke, seeing that the Chinese army looked puzzled, he said: "Cao Wenzhao can take a detour to Taiyuan, which shows that he has learned how to be flexible."

Wu Shengsheng, the new governor of Shanxi, is the only one who is willing to speak for him, and has always protected him, and this time he was able to escape thanks to this Wu Shengsheng, who is his benefactor, and we can't even give people the time to see their benefactor.

Alas, Cao Wenzhao's biggest shortcoming is actually his stubbornness, and if he can change his shortcomings, there is still a lot to be done. However, judging from his detour to Taiyuan, he still knows how to be grateful. ”

When the Chinese army heard this, he immediately changed his mouth and said: "However, it is said that after he received the letter from the governor, he did not delay, and it is said that he did not even have time to resign, so he hurried to Xinyang." ”

Hong Chengchou let out an "oh" and said: "He followed me when he was in Shaanxi, hmph, if he hadn't made Zhiduan think of non-separation, it wouldn't have been like this." ”

As he spoke, his eyes began to wander on the map again, and suddenly, he tapped the direction of Suizhou with his hand, and said: "Suizhou is known as the 'throat of Hanxiang', and it is also occupied by the Liukou, and the fast horse told Cao Wenzhao that Xinyang should not come, go directly to Suizhou, and tell him that I am waiting for his good news in Ruzhou." ”

Cao Wenzhao left Wu Shengsheng, and after running fast for a while, he slowed down and couldn't help thinking: "Alas, why are we in such a hurry, isn't it disrespectful to Lord Wu?" ”

Thinking about it, and thinking of Wu Shengsheng's grace, he was so remorseful that he had to persuade himself: "Next time, next time we meet, we will definitely ask for guilt in person." Alas, the next time we meet, we don't know when. ”

Just thinking about it, Hong Chengchou's order arrived, Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to turn to Suizhou, and inevitably thought about the bits and pieces between him and Hong Chengchou, or sighing, or excited, or pessimistic, but there were mixed tastes.

Thinking about it while walking like this, I don't know how long it took, Cao Bianjiao said: "Suizhou has arrived, please make a decision with your uncle." ”

Cao Wenzhao suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "Have you figured out the banditry?" ”

Cao Dingjiao said: "There are a lot of rogues, no less than 5,000 people, and besides, this gang of rogues seems to be different from when we were in Shaanxi." ”

Cao Wenzhao let out an "oh" and said, "What's the difference?" ”

Cao Dingjiao was speechless, Cao Bianjiao wanted to say, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Cao Wenyao saw it and answered: "It should be more like a soldier, not as chaotic as in the past." ”

Cao Wenzhao glanced at his two nephews and said, "It's no wonder, seeing him fighting with officers and soldiers, even monkeys have learned well." ”

Cao Wenyao said: "Yes, it's getting late now, and we are sleepy and tired, why don't you set up camp first and rest for one night, and then fight them tomorrow?" ”

Cao Wenzhao turned to his two nephews and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

The two had obviously discussed, but when they saw Cao Dingjiao pulling Cao Bianjiao's robe, Cao Bianjiao immediately said: "What do the two of us mean, let's calm them down first." ”

Cao Wenyao was very dissatisfied, and when he was about to speak, Cao Wenzhao said: "Why? ”

Cao Bianjiao said: "No matter how they are like soldiers, they are not soldiers after all, we can completely defeat one enemy and two enemies, if they are taken by surprise again, they will be in chaos, and they will definitely be able to make contributions." ”

Cao Wenzhao said: "Okay, according to the meaning of the two of you, remember, this is our first battle, and we can only win and not lose." ”

After speaking, he turned to Cao Wenyao, who was extremely reluctant, and said, "Let's go", and drove the horse to kill him.

Cao Dingjiao and Cao Bianjiao were willing to lag behind, and shouted together to kill them.

The rebels were unexpected, and they were defeated, that is, they scattered and fled, and Cao Wenzhao killed more than 380 people.
