There is a precedent in Jiangzhou that has been widely spread all over the world, and the courage of the people of Pengcheng is obviously much greater.

As soon as Cao Cao, who called himself Song Jiang, opened his mouth, the common people knelt down together, and the first few were poor local scholars with no merit, and they all shouted: "King Rongyu, the trouble of Pengcheng is in Zhizhou Zhu Xun." Less than a year after taking office, the concubine has been married to the seventeenth room, and the banquet is held again and again, and the Xuzhou businessmen are invited to the banquet, the congratulatory gift is slightly lighter, and the next day the tolerance will come to the door to provoke in every way. At first, the locals didn't know what was going on, and seven or eight rich family members went out to eat the family he harmed, and no one dared to disobey after that, and the family went bankrupt to fill his desires. ”

Someone else complained: "This fang has changed the national tax law without authorization, and has indiscriminately collected door tax, liquor tax, commercial tax, etc., and the countrymen have carried a large amount of firewood into the city to sell, and the firewood is only sold for eighty or ninety wen, and the commercial tax collected indiscriminately in the city and out of the city has to pay more than 100 wen, so who dares to sell firewood?" It is inconvenient for me to burn a fire in Pengcheng now, so I have to pick up dry grass and dry branches to deal with it. ”

Cao Cao was slightly surprised when he heard this: "In this way, this Zhu Xun is actually a dog official who goes to the pit gentry, poisons Li Shu, and reaches out everywhere?" Even the Jiangzhou Cai Jiu I waited for is not as bold as him, whose power is this guy? ”

Someone said indignantly: "This person is a protégé of Taishi Cai, that's all, he has another identity, he is the brother of Zhu Mian, the defense envoy of Hezhou, that Zhu Mian is in charge of the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, wantonly procuring Huashigang, making the southeast area angry and resentful, I don't know how many people are bankrupt and sell their children." ”

Another person said: "Zhu Xun's house, relying on the power of this brother, has no ink on his chest, and he also served as a county magistrate in Muzhou, and after two years in office, the mountains and seas of the county have been exhausted, and the blood debt in his hands is boundless." Later, because of the lust, he forced a girl to death, but it was a relative of the local tycoon, and the hero was really angry, and countless heroes wanted to take his dog's life day and night, so he had no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy Taishi Cai, and put it here to be Zhizhou. ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "That is the death of this thief, although Jiangnan heroes can't kill him, and look at my Shandong heroes' methods!" ”

All the people applauded, and suddenly there was a humane: "King Song, although you can wait, you must not underestimate the enemy." This Zhu Xun is now following the example of his brother Zhu Mian, and his subordinates privately raise a guard, known as the 'tax army', there are three or four hundred people, all of whom are murderers and powerful people in the north and south rivers and lakes. ”

Luan Tingyu was shocked when he heard this, the imperial army was erosive, except for a few elite border troops, the general forbidden army, the box army, and the local native soldiers, all of which were not to be feared, but this kind of private guards, all of which were carefully selected and armed, and fed enough silver, dared to die in battle, and no one was not worried.

So he said in a low voice: "Brother, this guy is not easy to kill, if you really want to deal with him, you still have to gather the strength of your brothers." ”

Cao Cao was secretly taken aback when he heard it, but he didn't expect to encounter a ruthless stubble, although there were only three or four hundred people, but everyone introduced it clearly, it was "a murderer in the north and south rivers and lakes, and a powerful gangster", I can't say how many ruthless people are mixed up in the name, there are only three people here, where can I have fun?

He is not stubborn and desperate to save face, although Li Kui shouted beside him: "What are the three or four hundred birdmen afraid of, if the iron bull is cut down with a pair of axes, even three or four thousand people will be killed." Cao Cao was unmoved, and was about to say a few words, so he retreated first, but saw more than 20 people running to the city gate against the wall, locked the city gate first, came out and pointed at the three of them and shouted coldly: "The young man is still famous in Liangshan?" I know that my master has been waiting for you for many days. ”

The people who had just enthusiastically accused Zhu Xun to Cao Cao all got up and shouted: "The tax army is coming!" The four sides only dispersed, and the families were closed, and the scholars hurriedly reminded: "The tax army is also killed, and the king of Song Jiang also asks for more blessings." "I relied on the terrain to know it and fled into the alley.

On the originally lively street, there was no one else for a moment, and the wind blew through the empty street, rolling up some branches and leaves of dust, a bleak scene.

"This bird tax army, the people are like ghosts when they see it, and they know that they are all murderers with bad hearts." Li Kui scolded and jumped off the horse, the two axes rubbed against each other, grinding out the fire, and said with a cruel smile: "The two brothers sit down, wait for the iron bull to kill this dry bird, and then take the bird gate." ”

The leader of the tax army smiled coldly, felt a whistle and blew it suddenly, a sharp and loud voice spread, and on the streets on all sides, more than 100 people came with weapons, all of them with bright armor and fat bodies, obviously sharpened by spending a lot of money.

Cao Cao saw that the road was blocked on all sides, gasped, and secretly regretted: "It's too big." This place is not an imperial city, nor is it a border state, even if you want to transfer military horses, it is not possible to arrive at a moment or three, and there are some officials and soldiers in the city, and they can't stop the three of us. Who would have thought that a Zhizhou would raise such a private soldier. ”

But after all, I have been fighting horses all my life, I don't know how many adventures I have experienced, although I regret Meng Lang, I am not desperate, and sneered: "Last time in Jiangzhou, I was happy to fight, but today I have to stretch my muscles and bones." ”

Luan Tingyu was originally a little frightened, but seeing Cao Cao so calm, he couldn't help but be infected, and said with a smile: "A group of young people who are dogs with the powerful can die at the hands of us, which is their blessing." ”

Cao Cao looked at the situation and whispered: "Tie Niu, once the war starts, you don't care about anything else, go straight to kill more than 20 people in front of the door, split the lock and open the door, it is a great achievement, and the army behind will have me and Teacher Luan to resist." ”

Then he stood up, tore off the cloth that covered his weapons on his horse's back, and first took the bow and arrow hanging from his side in his hand. He said in a low voice: "Brother Luan, as soon as the enemy moves, I will shoot a few of him to frustrate the enemy's spirit, and then the two of us will counterattack, but we must not rush too deep, and when I say to leave, I must withdraw at the same time, and I must not be entangled by the enemy." ”

Luan Tingyu took off the iron rod on the winning hook, pulled out the head of the spear inserted in the back waist, and screwed it on the tip of the stick, it became an iron gun, and trembled in his hand and said: "Brother praised me for 'welcoming ten thousand horses Luan Tingyu alone', how many people are there?" It's really urgent, my brother just cares about going first, my brother's gun is here, and I will never let go of one. ”

Cao Cao glanced at him, only to see Luan Tingyu gritting his teeth, green tendons bursting out on his forehead, his eyes were resolute, he was already determined to die, reached out and grabbed his forearm, and shook it vigorously: "It's not like this!" Three come, three go! Don't be impulsive! ”

Luan Tingyu's eyes became more and more determined, and he nodded slightly.

Cao Cao lightly put the feather arrow on the string, stretched his waist, squinted his eyes, and waited for the opponent's formation to move, he wanted to take the initiative and seize the initiative.

The tax army on the road ahead was divided on both sides, revealing a big fat man on a horse in the middle, wearing a golden armor, his face was like a mountain boar, and he was stupid and treacherous, and a pair of female dogs looked at Cao Cao with gloomy eyes: "You are Liangshan Song Jiang?" ”

Cao Cao laughed secretly in his heart: Brother Gongming, I have cheated you several times, I will help you make a name for yourself today, and I will not owe you favors in the future. Said proudly: "It's me, Song Jiang and Song Gongming, who are here!" Dog officer, Mo Dao has a lot of people, and today I will let you see what it means to be invincible! ”

Unexpectedly, the looked up and laughed, and suddenly shouted: "Don't pretend!" Song Jiang, why don't you say that you are Chao Gai? ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, and said in his heart, could this guy have seen Song Jiang? How else would I know I'm not?

But he saw that the man sneered again and again: "Fang Thirteen didn't care about his face in order to kill me Zhu Xun, and actually let his subordinates pretend to be Liang Shan, hehe, if this is spread out, how can his so-called Holy Father's face exist?" ”

The Father? Fang Thirteen?

Cao Cao was stunned, just now the tax army also said words such as "waiting for you for many days", could it be that he entered the city on a whim, and actually helped other forces block the gun? I remembered that someone just said that Zhu Xun killed the relatives of the wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River and came to the north to be an official to avoid trouble, and after a little pondering, the answer is already about to come out: The person who Zhu Xun has been guilty of and guarded against is the Fang La Fang Thirteen who the people of the rivers and lakes call the Holy Prince!

Fang La's name is the best in the south, and Cao Cao has heard of his name a lot, but he didn't expect that the first time he communicated, it turned out to be this situation.

There is a division of teaching: The rivers and lakes have always played with me, and I am not defeated in splitting wine and unloading. Don't see Tongsheng out of the door, this time I was shocked to hit the street. (The rivers and lakes have always been soaring, and they are good at feasting, drinking, and throwing pots.) The yellow calendar has not been turned here, and Lao Cao has become the king of the back. ）
