Chapter 12: The Good Man Cao Zheng
At the end of the battle, Chao Chong ordered the escort team to clean up the battlefield, and he also took stock of the gains in the battle by the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since his strength has risen to 70 points, his rise has become slower. In fact, this is very easy to understand, the more high-end the force, the more difficult it is to upgrade, as has always been.
So when the system told himself that he had an achievement bonus of 5 force points, Chao Chong was so excited. Open your own People panel
Name: Chao Chong
Health: 2520/2520 (exuberant vitality makes you unwilling to be lonely)
Commander: 29+3 (often giving orders makes you bind your subordinates)
Force: 76+5 (the breakthrough to break the bottleneck is the test of actual combat)
Intelligence: 52 (do more, see more, think more, do more)
Politics: 15 (Coordinating the contradictions of your subordinates makes you understand something)
Charisma: 56+8 (some people voluntarily stay with you)

Achievement: Leader (Becoming a leader in a group of more than 100 people allows you to claim their credit.) Commander +3, Charisma +3)
Ten Slash (Personally kill ten people in battle, making you murderous and intimidating.) Brawn +5, Charisma +5)
The system is not good at this, and almost never answers its own questions, only occasionally pops up to say a sentence or two, which is a fart.
Many of the functions of the system have to be figured out by yourself.
First of all, his health has increased by 50 points, and his qi and blood are stronger.
Then Strength and Charisma are increased by 5 points each. The force alone has finally exceeded 80. I guess it's a little master.
In the end, ten people were killed to achieve it, and they had to be killed themselves. Is this a temptation to evolve into a killer?
Chao Chong shook his head, at least for now, his thirst for power wasn't so strong.
After breaking through Erlong Mountain, a large amount of property and food were found in the temple, and after a while, Chen Cheng and Chao Sheng, who were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, reported back: "Report to the Heavenly King, we killed 320 bandits, and the escort team killed 5 people and wounded 13 people. But Deng Long, the second leader of Erlong Mountain, the golden-eyed tiger, fled. ”
Chao Gai said: "Deng Long is just a small character, he can't make any waves, so don't care about it for the time being." The brothers who died in the war should be well restrained and go back for a thick burial. The wounded brother took care of them and went back with his own reward. Chen Cheng and Chao Sheng were ordered to appease their brothers.
Wu Yong suggested that this den of thieves be burned down. Chao Gai thought for a moment and said, "Leave the Baozhu Temple, and the other houses will be burned." A hundred-year-old temple, it's a pity to burn it down. ”
Wu Yong sighed: "The temple that shelters the wicked, I think the Buddha will abandon it here long ago." Otherwise, it would not have been possible to allow these evil monks to be on the loose for so long! ”
Chao Gai looked at the fallen and dead Dragon Descending Rulai, and sighed: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, do you know that the Buddha didn't borrow our hands to clean the portal?" No matter whether people kill or not, they must always have a bottom line, and a good heart can never change. After speaking, he looked back at Chao Chong and said, "Do you understand?" ”
Chao Chong thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood his father's hard work. After the first killing, everyone's mentality is always a little unstable, and even a little fluttering, if there is no spiritual self-restraint, they will be obsessed with this killing power and gradually lost.
So he nodded and said, "The child understands, you said that the second layer of the sword realm: the knife is the arm. Although the essence of the knife is killing, if the knife is overwhelmed by the killing heart, he is just a slave of the knife after all! People are fundamental, the knife must be controlled by people, and people are the masters of the knife! ”
Chao Gai saw that his son's heart was clear and he was not overwhelmed by the heart of killing, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as you have good thoughts, you can become a Buddha by killing people." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the guards of the Chao family set fire to the thieves' den everywhere.
Coming down from the top of the mountain, to the second level, Chao Yang, who had regained some strength, hurriedly asked about the results of the battle, Chao Chong gave him a detailed explanation, and said, "How is the injury?" ”
Chao Yang said indifferently: "I have thick skin and thick meat, and the arrow didn't hit the vital point, it's okay." ”
Chao Chong looks at Chao Yang's character panel,
Name: Chao Yang
Health: 1600/2150 (Recovering from Injuries)
Commander-in-Chief: 16
Force: 67
Intelligence: 41
Politics: 14
Glamour: 36
Affinity: Reverence
Traits: Tiger's Back (An upgraded version of the strong muscles, his excellent physical fitness allows him to gain excellent suppressive power when playing against others.)
I found that my health had recovered, so I was relieved. But Chao Yang also killed twenty or thirty minions, why didn't he get the bonus of "Ten Beheading"?
Chao Chong immediately smiled, maybe except for himself, other characters don't have the item of "achievement", so there is no bonus.
Chao Chong nodded to Chao Yang and said, "Since your life is fine, then go back and command your first team, three brothers were killed and seven were injured in this battle, go and deal with it." ”
Chao Yang's guards who commanded the first team for a year had already cultivated feelings, and when they heard that some people were killed in battle and some people were injured, they didn't care about their own injuries, so they saluted Chao Chong and hurriedly looked for their own team.
Speaking of injuries, Chao Chong himself was also shot with two arrows, and when he pulled out the arrows, he also tore off two pieces of flesh. But I didn't care so much about it in the battle, I didn't bandage it, and I didn't care too much, now I am idle and check my injuries, the bleeding has long stopped, and the flesh wound that was torn off has also been closed. The ability to quickly recover from injuries is really a golden finger that is very suitable for battlefield fighting.
From attacking the mountain in the morning to breaking through the cottage, it took only half a day, and more than a dozen boxes of belongings transported from the top of the mountain, plus more than 50 sacks of grain, made transportation a problem. Chao Gai and the others came from Dongxi Village to hide themselves, and they did not organize logistical supplies, let alone transport vehicles such as horse-drawn carriages and ox carts.
And in the past three days, in order to achieve the purpose of concealed assault, Chao Gai did not dare to contact the people of the surrounding villages and towns, they all ate some dry food and drank some water in the wilderness, and now it is noon, everyone is hungry and thirsty, but because of the strict training, there are already some strong troops, they are all lined up in a neat queue, and no one dares to speak.
Chao Gai smashed his own somewhat dry mouth, and he was also wondering if he was treating his brothers and relaxing and relaxing. By the way, I also went to the villages and towns to get some oxen and horse carts to transport goods.
Chao Gai remembered that there was a Caojiazhuang not far away, with a population of hundreds, and there should be a lot of cattle, horses and vehicles, so he said to everyone: "There is a Caojiazhuang in the west five miles, let's go to the village to eat and drink." Before that, everyone worked harder and carried things there. ”
Chao Chong saw that Chao Gai was still the leader of the rivers and lakes, and knew that Chao Gai had not changed his opinion on the Chao family guards, and the current Chao family guards were no longer the Zhuang Ke team, but the army, although he was afraid that the government would investigate and dare not make such a claim.
So Chao Chong ordered the escort team: "The third team listens to the order and is responsible for carrying the bones of the dead in the battle and taking care of the wounded soldiers. ”
Chao Sheng: They are all a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers with limited physical strength, and they are responsible for taking care of the wounded. Chao Sheng arched his hand and said: "Order!" ”
Chao Chong continued: "The first team listened to the order and carried fifteen wooden boxes and ten sacks. ”
Chao Yang arched his hand and said: "Order!" "I led the people in the first row to assign tasks.
Chao Chong continued: "The second team listened to the order and carried forty sacks. ”
Chen Cheng arched his hand and said, "Get the order", and also led the uninjured people to distribute the sacks.
Chao Chong saw that everyone had completed the task assignment and there were still six bags of grain, so he fought with both hands, and the two sacks were on the left and right shoulders respectively.
Chao Gai was a little puzzled: "I see that Chao Sheng and their young men still have time, just hand over these sacks to them to carry." ”
Chao Chong said with a smile: "Father knows the difference between an army and a villager, that is, the military order is like a mountain, and the order is forbidden. Now that I have given the order, I cannot change it again. What's more, these six sacks are just a kind of exercise for me. Have you forgotten how I train? It doesn't bother me. ”
Chao Gai looked at Chao Chong with some emotion and said, "My son has really grown up." In that case, the father will also carry a few bags to share your worries. ”
Chao Chong hurriedly stopped: "Father can't be like this. I served as the head of the guard, and it was a necessity to enforce orders and prohibitions, and to share weal and woe with the soldiers. But as the head of the family, the father should properly maintain the mystery and nobility, which is also a need, and the superiority and humility must still be observed. ”
Wu Yong, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little moved, and stepped forward to dissuade: "Brother Chao, what Chong'er said is right, the superior and the inferior still have to be distinct, because you are the head of the family." ”
Chao Gai let out a long sigh and said, "I understand, I just feel a little estranged from my brothers." After speaking, he silently put the remaining four bags of grain on Chao Chong's shoulder.
Chao Chong stretched out his hands to support the six sacks on his shoulders, looking very strange.
Chao Chong said to the guards who had assigned their tasks: "Do you remember the slogan of our Chao family guards? ”
The crowd shouted: "Fight for the King of Heaven, smear your liver and brains, and do not give up!" "Shouted three times in a row.
Chao Chong said: "Very good, you have proved your oath with your actions. Now is the time to reward everyone. Everyone listened to the order, and the target was Caojiazhuang in the west. Let's go! ”
Chao Chong walked at the front of the line, and a long line behind him headed towards Caojiazhuang.
It was five miles away, but it took everyone half an hour to arrive. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he put down his belongings and food, and Chao Chong led the guards to guard at the entrance of the village, but did not enter, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the village. Chao Gai led Wu Yong into the village to find someone to negotiate.
There is a circle of one zhang high earthen wall around Caojiazhuang, which can be used to protect the general beasts and bandits, the people in the village were surprised to see more than 100 people with knives and bows guarding the entrance of the village, thinking that the bandits were coming down the mountain to rob again, and hurriedly rang the gong, and groups of villagers rushed to the street with sticks, and finally rushed to the entrance of the village under the leadership of a stout young man, and met Chao Gai and Wu Yong who entered the village.
The stout young man was holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, and he seemed to have some courage, and he was surprised to see Chao Gai and Wu Yong from a distance. He has also seen the world, and when he saw the big man opposite, eight feet tall, dignified and majestic, he knew that he might have met a hero. And the scholar is handsome, with a breezy appearance, and he doesn't seem to be a bad person. So he also said politely in his words: "Why do two heroes come to my Caojiazhuang?" ”
Chao Gai hugged his fists and said: "A certain Chao Gai, who has just led Zhuang Ke to exterminate the bandits in Erlong Mountain, passed by here and wanted to buy some food. I don't know if you can make it convenient, the money is naturally indispensable to you! ”
The villagers were all surprised when they heard this, "Is it Chao Gai Chao Heavenly King?" I've heard of him, and he's a big hero in our Yuncheng. ”
"No, will the bandits of Erlong Mountain be exterminated?"
"I think it's very likely that when I came back from the field, I saw smoke rising from Erlong Mountain."
Not to mention the discussion of everyone, the stout young man threw away the pig-killing knife in his hand, took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fist and said, "Is it really Brother Chao Gai?" The villain Cao Zheng, because he is good at killing pigs and cows, and people give him the nickname of the knife ghost, and he has to see his brother's face today, which is really a blessing for three lives! ”
Chao Gai laughed, helped Cao Zheng up and said: "Where don't we meet in life, you and I are fated to see each other, and now my brother has something to ask for you." ”
Cao Zheng immediately said solemnly: "Brother doesn't know, we farmers have been harmed by the bandits on Erlong Mountain, they go down the mountain from time to time to loot grain and grass, and sometimes they also harm girls, which really deserves a thousand cuts." Now that my brother has eliminated harm for the people, it's too late for us to be grateful, where can I make my brother plead, but please command! ”
A group of villagers behind Cao Zheng also said: "Heavenly King, please command, let us do anything." ”
Chao Gai clenched his fists and said, "You folks have suffered. In order to kill the bandits, I Chao Gai led his subordinates to sleep in the open for three days, only eating a little dry food, and now they are hungry, so I asked the villagers to make some hot dishes and hot meals. He looked at Cao Zhengdao again: "If there is wine and meat, it will be even better." ”
Cao Zheng said with a smile: "Brother don't say it, we will also prepare, folks, go home and prepare hot dishes and hot meals to entertain the brothers of the king!" I'm going to kill a few pigs in the village and give my brother wine! ”
Under the warm greeting of Cao Zheng and the villagers, Chao Chong and his party carried their belongings and food into the village, and then had all the wine, meat and hot rice, and enjoyed themselves.
During the banquet, Chao Gai said to Cao Zheng: "Brother Cao, I don't hear your accent like a local." ”
Cao Zheng sighed: "Don't hide it from my brother, I am from the Kaifeng Mansion, and my family teacher is Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army." My master was framed by Gao Yu traitors, and I was also Zhulian, so I could only avoid Tai'an Mansion, and later lost my capital in Tai'an Mansion for a rich man to do business, and I had no shame to go back to face it, so I joined Caojiazhuang. It's been half a year now. ”
When Chao Chong heard this, he became interested and looked at Cao Zheng's attributes
Name: Zheng Cao
Health: 1860/1860 (Hero of the Commons)
Commander-in-Chief: 21
Force: 55
Intelligence: 64
Politics: 17
Charisma: 19
Affinity: Favorability
Trait: Livestock Slaughter (Good at slaughtering livestock, allowing him to learn some tricks about slaughtering quickly.) )
When Chao Chong used to read the Water Margin, he also noticed that Cao Zheng's martial arts could only be regarded as mediocre, and saying that his master was Lin Chong was really discrediting his master. But Cao Zheng's character is still good, he runs a small hotel in the original book, but there has never been a rumor of murder and robbery. Come to think of it, people divide things into groups and gather like others, and the upright gentleman like Lin Chong naturally can't accept apprentices who are big traitors.
After Yang Zhi was robbed of his birthday in Huangnigang, he went to Cao Zheng's hotel to eat and drink and had no money to pay the bill, so the two did not know each other. Yang Zhi later went to Erlong Mountain, and met Lu Zhishen again at the foot of the mountain. Cao Zheng used a plan to send the two up the mountain, killed the mountain owner Deng Long, and occupied the cottage. Later, Cao Zheng returned to Liangshan with Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Shi En.
I have to say that Cao Zheng is still a little resourceful, at least around Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen, he seems to have become Zhuge Xiaojunshi, and it was his idea to make suggestions several times.
When Chao Gai heard Cao Zheng's life experience, he was also indignant and said: "I have also heard the name of Lin Chonglin's sect leader, but it's a pity that I haven't seen it, it's a pity." That high-ranking traitor misled the country, and the dynasty was corrupted by these traitors sooner or later. It's a pity that Lin Jiaotou has never met these talented people. ”
After a few bowls of wine, Chao Gai saw that Cao Zheng had an open-minded temperament and a clear mind, so he had the intention of soliciting, and said tentatively: "I heard that the head of the family teacher Lin is now in Liangshanbo, why don't you look for it?" ”
Cao Zheng sighed and said, "Why don't I want to? But I heard that Wang Lun, the lord of Liangshanbo, was jealous of his ability and his temperament, and he criticized my master more, and if I went, I could only be angry. ”
Chao Gai said: "In this case, why don't you come to my Dongxi Village, my Chao Gai also has a lot of land, and I need help." ”
Cao Zheng was quite tempted, but after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the King of Heaven, now that I am here, my wife and friends are here, and my responsibilities are here, I dare not leave lightly." ”
Chao Gai also had some regrets, but everyone had their own ambitions and didn't force it, and then laughed and drank wine.
Chao Chong watched from the side and didn't persuade much, although he knew that Cao Zheng was a good man, and it was even more rare to be wise and brave. But now Chao Gai is just a person who keeps upright, letting others give up their freedom and become a banker, and those who claim to be good men still disdain it. To put it bluntly, the status is not high enough.
Not to mention Chao Gai, even if it is Song Jiang, even if it is Chai Jin, before they rebel, the heroes of the rivers and lakes will respect them, but they will not be willing to attach themselves to them. This is because of status and prospects.
After eating and drinking at noon, he collected several cattle and horses carts in the village, and hurriedly passed for half a day, so he rested for one night in Caojiazhuang, and the next morning Chao Gai saw that the people in the village were robbed by thieves, and the grain was insufficient, so he took out ten bags of grain and scattered them to everyone, and left some gold and silver. It attracted the gratitude of the people in the village and praised it continuously.
Cao Zheng said goodbye to Chao Gai more than five miles away. Chao Gai took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Cao Zhengdao: "You can take these silver taels and do some small business, heroes should not always be tied up in the fields!" Do it for yourself! ”
Cao Zheng couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it, and watched Chao Gai and his party go away, and was moved in his heart: "Chao Gai, what a hero!" ”
