Wu Song jumped off the horse and introduced Cao Cao first: "This is my brother Wu Zhi, as for the next, the surname is Wu Mingsong." ”

The two of them were pleasantly surprised: "Isn't it the Wu clan Kunzhong from Yanggu County, Wu Mengde and Huo Dian Wei in person?" ”

Cao Cao dismounted and helped the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's just a false praise from friends in the rivers and lakes, I don't know who the two brothers are, why are they fighting here?" ”

The one who wore red said: "The villain's surname is Lu Mingfang, Tanzhou people's name, because he loves Lu Bu as a person, he specially learned Fang Tian's halberd, and everyone is called Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, because he sold crude drugs to Shandong, he was deceived by the rich man of Ximen in Yanggu County of the capital and goods, and he couldn't return to his hometown, and he had the right to occupy this pair of shadow mountains to rob and live." A few days ago, I met a group of guests, saying that the martial brother killed Ximenqing, and the villain was so happy that he drank wine for three days, and he was going to Yanggu County to visit him......"

said and pointed to the white smile and said: "Who knew that this strong man came recently, and he wanted to seize Lu Fang's cottage and tell him that everyone would share a mountain, but he refused, so he fought with him for days." ”

The one who was dressed in white said: "The villain Guo Sheng, whose ancestral home is Jialing, Xichuan, loves to make halberds the most, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him Sai Rengui." Always sell mercury goods to sell, who knows that the Yellow River was overturned by the wind, can not return to the hometown, I heard that there is a king to the shadow mountain to make a good halberd, so this special to try the halberd method, even a few days of battle without victory or defeat, unexpectedly today to meet the second duke, the day and the fortunate. ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this and said, "It's rare, it's rare that the eight of us have such a fate." ”

Wu Song, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng were all stunned when they heard this, and Cao Cao solemnly pointed to the four of them: "Wu Zhi, Wu Song, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Cao Mengde, Dian Wei, Wenhou Lu Bu, Xue Rengui, aren't they eight people?" ”

Coincidentally, the nicknames of these four people are all in the names of the ancients. When everyone saw what he said interestingly, they all laughed, and even the two or three hundred little minions couldn't stand up with laughter, and they were close to this famous "Wu Mengde" big student.

Cao Cao thought to himself, although the martial arts of these two people are mediocre, they are better than young, and if they are trained by masters, it will not be difficult to go further. And they are all businessmen, so they must be neat and tidy, so it is better to take them under their command.

Then he said: "Brother Lu, Brother Guo, and Wu Guanru are all dignified and dignified, although the green forest is free, but it can't help but annihilate the heroism of the big husband, it is better to follow Wu to join the army to suppress bandits, a knife and a gun, fight a wife's shadow, and shine on the lintel, so that you can not live up to your parents and give birth to you, nor do you learn this skill in vain, I don't know what the two brothers want?" ”

Lu Guo and the others glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's joy, and they both bowed down and said, "My brother wants to lift me up, how can I refuse?" The two of us are young and knowledgeable, and I hope that my brother will teach me more. ”

Lu Fang immediately asked people to go up the mountain, took down the grain and grass baggage, and the cottage house was set on fire, so he joined Cao Cao's team.

Cao Cao counted the men, Lu Fang had more than 150 people, Guo Sheng had more than 110 people, and still let them lead their own people, and they went down to the village on the roadside that day, while instructing Wu Song, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng to camp in various particularities, as well as how the soldiers arranged and drilled.

He drew with his fingers and talked eloquently, explaining every question in simple terms. Wu Song has long been accustomed to this, but Lu Fang and Guo Sheng are shocked, only to feel that what the other party said casually is a golden rule, which contains infinite mysteries, which opened his eyes and became more and more convinced.

You must know that Lao Cao is a master of the art of war, and in this year, he bought a lot of military books for "later generations" to study, carefully comprehend the development and progress of military technology and tactics in the past thousand years, and integrate them into his own system.

Early the next morning, I packed up the camp tent and set off, and after more than an hour, I reported that there were forty or fifty people with swords, surrounded by several carts, and more than thirty of them were still riding horses, looking at the color of their clothes, they should be people in the green forest.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Wu Song and the others: "If what I expected is right, this group of people is the Qingfeng Mountain bandit gang that we are going to clean up." ”

Wu Song was a little unconvinced: "That thief has the ability to fight Qingzhou Mansion, how can he only have a few dozen people?" Besides, they don't stay in Qingfeng Mountain, what are they doing here? ”

Cao Cao said: "The gang of robbers in Qingfeng Mountain only robbed pedestrians before, and suddenly they first hit Qingfeng Village, and then hit Qingzhou Mansion, so big, there must be a reason for it, I expect that they know that they are guilty of a big crime, and they know that Murong Prefect has an extraordinary background, and they are afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the official army, so they abandon Qingfeng Mountain, don't go to Dazhai to avoid trouble." As for why there are only dozens of people, it must be because of the division of troops, or three teams, or five teams, to respond from end to end, and they will not provoke the state capital along the road to suppress because of the excessive number of people. ”

Wu Song suddenly realized when he heard this, and patted his leg and said: "According to my brother's opinion, most of them are going to go up to Liangshan on this road. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Although this Shandong is full of mountains, if the shape is enough to be the foundation, there is only Liangshan, and the water is surrounded by water for 800 miles under the mountain, and there is only one capable sailor, even 100,000 horses and horses to conquer, and there is no need to be afraid." Have you forgotten Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi? ”

Wu Song nodded again and again: "What my brother has seen is extremely true!" So what do we do now? ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "You and I are divided into half of the people, Lu Fang leads people to follow me, Guo Sheng follows you, and forty people from Yanggu County also follow you, we go to ambush in the forests on both sides, the first team of the other party is the pioneer, it must be elite, and let him go, the second team pays attention to see if he brings baggage, if he brings more, it is only divided into three teams." Also let him pass, if the third team has baggage, also let it go, if there is no baggage vehicle, it is the army of the broken rear, we will fight his rear army first, then I will kill first, intercept them to fight, if the other party's front army comes to help, Erlang will take Guo Sheng to kill, intercept his way, first destroy his two teams of men and horses, and then concentrate all his strength to deal with the front army, and then there is no reason to be invincible. ”

Wu Song, Lu Fang, and Guo Shengda were subdued, and immediately divided their troops on the spot and acted according to the plan.

After about half an hour, I saw a silver-armored and jade-faced general and a black and swarthy Humpty Dumpty, the two of them rode on horses, walking in front with more than 30 horsemen, and behind them were more than 20 small minions, surrounded by several large carts, some old and some young, who seemed to be family members in the village.

Wu Song hid in the forest on the right, looked at it and nodded secretly, since he took so many old and young, it seems that he really abandoned the village and left, and his brother really saw it accurately.

In the forest on the other side, Cao Cao pointed to Lu Fang in a low voice: "Look at this gang of bandits, marching in a hurry, not even sending horses, walking in a big way, is the first taboo in the march." Lu Fang hurriedly nodded and wrote it down.

This group of people passed, and after a short time, eighty or ninety horse troops came, escorting a large cart, the cart was full of boxes and rice bags, and it was thought that it was the baggage in the village, headed by two generals, with bright armor, one immediately hung a mace, and the other carried a mourning sword.

Cao Cao said in a low voice: "The second team is carrying baggage, so it seems that they are only divided into three teams, and the third team is broken." These two generals don't look reckless, they should be the commander of Qin Ming and Huang Xin, the commander of the soldiers and horses! Most of the first team wearing white armor just now was Huarong, the deputy governor of Qingfeng Village. ”

When Lu Fang saw him casually glance at it, he spoke conclusively, and admired it in his heart.

The second team passed, and after a while, the third team came, leading an army of forty or fifty horses, headed by three leaders, and the man in the middle was dressed in a red jacket, with a red silk handkerchief wrapped around his head, a rectangular face, red hair and yellow beard, and his eyes were gloomy and vicious;

One on the right, white and handsome, with a few strands of beard, a red veil wrapped around his head, a grass in his mouth, dressed in oily green, and a smile on his face;

There is a person on the left, who is as tall as Wu Dalang, short and reckless, with a wrist thicker than ordinary people's calves, no neck, a big head sitting on his shoulders, and a pair of small eye bones spinning.

Lu Fang looked at it and was secretly amused, and said in his heart, no wonder the martial arts brother said that Qin Ming and Huang Xin did not have reckless habits, and I also said how he could see it, and when he looked at these three people, he knew what reckless habits were.

was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard Cao Cao shouting in a deep voice: "Kill!" ”
