Cao Cao got off the horse early, Deng Fei led Yang Lin to him, and said proudly: "My brother is not someone else, it is the eldest lang of the Wu clan Kunzhong in Yanggu County, and the brother of 'Wu Mengde' Wu Zhi is!" ”

When Yang Lin heard this, he immediately fell to the ground and said: "The younger brother has traveled south and north in the past two years, and he has heard more about his brother's reputation, and he is thinking about when he will go to Yanggu to pay a visit. ”

Cao Cao picked up Yang Lin and said: "A little thin name, why worry about it." Where have the Yang Lin brothers always been? ”

Yang Lin smiled generously: "Where is it worth talking about the word high, the younger brother often settles in the green forest, and now that he is getting older, he is trying to find a way out, if the elder brother does not give up, please allow him to follow." ”

Cao Cao saw that Yang Lin was talking freely and freely, and the characters were amiable, but he also had the heart to accept it, and he was overjoyed when he heard it, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the fate of heaven is coincidental, so that our brothers can gather together." ”

At that moment, he called someone to take a horse and gave it to Yang Lin to ride, so he pulled it to his side and talked.

Yang Lin has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he is extraordinary, and he is well-informed, very good at talking, and the two communicated, Cao Cao became more and more happy, and felt that this person was quite useful.

Everyone walked all the way, and when it was dusk, they saw Chai Jin's village courtyard from a distance.

Chai Jin heard that Cao Cao had retrieved the goods for him, and he was overjoyed when he got a lot of good men to return to him, so he brought wine and snacks and personally responded at the intersection, and saw Cao Cao and others coming, and Pegasus came to greet him.

"The virtuous brother has traveled hard, and he wants to make a foolish brother!"

Cao Cao laughed: "Brother Ren, I saw the magnificence of the rivers and mountains on this trip, and I met many heroes, how can there be the word hard work?" ”

Chai Jin grabbed the bridle: "Let's drink three cups of dust-washing wine, kill cattle and sheep in the village, and catch the wind for Brother Wuxian and all the heroes!" ”

Everyone drank a few cups at the intersection and arrived at Dezhuang, but when they saw that the lights were bright, long tables were set down, and good meat and wine were served on the table like water.

Cao Cao took Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, Meng Kang, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian, and Yang Lin to sit at the main table together, and introduced several new heroes to Chai Jin one by one. ”

Cao Cao grabbed Chai Jin and said in a low voice: "Brother Ren, this section is not a misunderstanding. The heroes on the rivers and lakes respect the word "little whirlwind", which is to respect the benevolence of the brothers, the generosity and righteousness, this reputation, it is not easy, the goods of the brothers are in the north into the Liaotu, and the south is unimpeded, which is the benefit of this reputation. "Zuo Biography" has clouds: only weapons and names, no dummies! Brother Ren listened to his brother's words, in the future, you will not easily borrow the banner of the Chai family. ”

Chai Jin listened, a little unhappy, and said with a forced smile: "Business matters, have their own subordinates to handle, me and my virtuous brother and other people, why worry about such trivial things." ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, who in the world doesn't love money?" Brother Weiren regards this as a trivial matter, if this open-mindedness is not a heroic husband, who can have it? ”

Chai Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled Cao Cao and said, "Brother Xian knows me." ”

Cao Cao laughed and drank with him, shaking his head secretly in his heart, Cangzhou is a small whirlwind, and he has the strength to see, but that's it.

The next day, Cao Cao wanted to resign, Chai Jin where to stay, stayed for three days in a row, on the fourth day, Cao Cao said: "It's not that I don't want to stay, but I just promised Pei Xuan that I want to have an unfair affair with him. ”

Chai Jin agreed, and asked people to take out many precious gifts, and they desperately pressed Cao Cao to accept them, and they kept sending them for twenty or thirty miles, before they watched Cao Cao and his party leave.

Chai entered the village with 100 villagers, and naturally stayed in the village, but there were still 200 people in the same drinking horse village, and the team was still huge.

After saying goodbye to Chai Jin, Deng Fei stepped forward and said, "Brother, it's better to meet than to be famous, who knows." This little whirlwind firewood official is so famous in the rivers and lakes, still above his brother, it can be seen that he is a real person, but he is not worthy of his name. ”

Pei Xuan also said: "On the day of the wind, my brother persuaded him with such good words, and he was angry, which made people feel cold. ”

Shi Xiu sneered: "In the hearts of Chai officials, heroes are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the elder brother who has an official position and industry is the first class, Pei Xuan's brother and others who open mountains and villages are the second class, and the younger brother who is not famous in the rivers and lakes is the third class, and he doesn't want to say a word, how can there be such a benevolent and loving brother." ”

Shi Qian looked at everyone aggrievedly: "Brother Shixiu, you are still a third-class mile, when my brother introduced my younger brother, he praised the younger brother's light skills and high fortune in the sea, and the high-rise buildings are like walking on the ground, don't you see that the big official lost his voice and said: Brother Xian, you, you accept a thief as a companion?" That look, if it weren't for my brother's face, I was afraid that I would have driven me out at that time. ”

He learned to have a very similar accent, and when he learned Chai Jin, his tone of surprise and disdain was like a full one, and everyone laughed.

Cao Cao comforted gently: "Brother Shiqian, don't be discouraged. If the world doesn't despise stealing, how can you want to do something with us? What are you afraid of when your husband is a teenager doing something ridiculous? When I was a teenager, I also stole other people's mother-in-law, he did a big business every day, who in the world dare to take it lightly? ”

Shi Qian was moved when he heard this, but he didn't feel confident, and muttered: "I don't have Brother Shi Xiu's extravagant martial arts, can I really make a big career?" ”

Cao Cao said, "Do you know where you are?" Except for Pei Xuan, the rest all shook their heads.

Cao Cao said: "I also read a book some time ago to see this person, this person was brave and ruthless when he was young, the township was all afraid, all said that he and the tiger in the mountains, the bottom of the water Jiao side by side with the three evils, that week was born brave, saw people afraid of the tiger Jiao, then went up the mountain to stab the tiger, into the water thorn Jiao, that Jiao in the water ups and downs floating and wandering for dozens of miles, Zhou Death entanglement, three days in a row did not return, people are said to die, singing and celebrating. When he returned from all over the world, he saw everyone celebrating his death, and he knew that he was so hated, so he wanted to reform his life and go to find Lu Ji and Lu Yun as teachers and Confucians. ”

Shi Xiu said with a smile: "At such an age, do you want to give up martial arts and follow literature?" ”

Cao Cao Zhengse said: "That's a good thing! When I saw Erlu that week, I was also terrified, and he said, 'I want to change my life, but after so many years, can I still achieve something?' Erlu said to him, "The ancients said, you can die at night, not to mention that you are still young, you must know, what people are most afraid of is not ambition, if you have ambition, do you need to worry about not being able to spread your name to the earth?" 'Everywhere is enlightened, diligent day and night, and really became a generation of celebrities. ”

Everyone was quite moved when they heard it, and they all heard Cao Cao's eagerness. Although everyone's thoughts are different, their respect for Cao Cao has multiplied.

After doing this for a few days, it was not far from Yanggu, Cao Cao said: "Don't rush home, go to Shi'er Mountain, and settle these brothers in Yinmachuan." ”

So the group of people went to the Lion's Ear Mountain, stayed overnight on the way, and at noon on the second day, they arrived at the foot of the Lion's Ear Mountain.

There was a way-finding minion who quickly reported: "At the foot of Lion Ear Mountain, there are no less than 1,000 soldiers and horses from nowhere, surrounding the mountain, and attacking the cottage." ”

Cao Cao was suddenly furious: "Qin Ming and the others are on the mountain, one does not rob the road and the other does not wander the village, I will take my own money to support everyone, live so honestly, there are still people who bully the door?" All the brothers, come with me and see which gang of dog thieves are so rude! ”
