The next day, Li Jun and Zhang Shun went to Liangshan first, saw Cao Cao, and were overjoyed: "Now that our fishing village has already been built, and some boats have been built, the brothers have nothing to do every day, and they are about to ask my brother to arrange some affairs to pass the time, and I don't want my brother to call me and me today." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "There is indeed a thought, there is a big event, and you two can't do it." It's just that the specific situation has to go with me to Qingzhou to meet someone, so I can talk about it in detail. ”

The two said happily: "Don't talk about Qingzhou, the ends of the earth will also go with my brother." ”

Cao Cao laughed, took Chao Gai's hand to the table, and said, "Heavenly King, what Monk Zhishen said, Yu Wu was not a little inspired. ”

He took three cups in his hand and put them down from left to right: "Heavenly King, you see, in this way, Bianjing is on the left, Liangshan is in the center, and Qingmi Denglai Sizhou is on the right......

Cao Cao stuck some tea, wiped it with his hand, left a water stain from the left cup to the right cup, passed under the middle cup, and said with a smile: "At that time, Qingmi Erzhou will fight in front, Liangshan will be in the back, and Wu will be in the middle, that is, hundreds of thousands of divisions, and it will be difficult for him to win." ”

Wu Yong was surprised and delighted when he saw it, clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful, this is exactly the plan of the army!" However, if you want to do this, you must quickly go down to the four states of Qingmi Denglai, otherwise the imperial court will arrive and the surrounding groups will attack it, but it will be bad. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Mr. Jia Liang said it!" Therefore, I want to go to Qingzhou first, and talk to the Zhishen monk, if he is indeed a hero, you might as well let him come forward, and we will work together to rob the four states of Qidi! If it is useless, it will be done by another hero. In short, our two sides work together, with the combat strength of the state capital's military horses, it should not be difficult to get down quickly. ”

Chao Gai slapped the table after hearing this, and the three cups jumped up together, and said boldly: "Brother Wu, what do you say about the two sides working together, Chao Mou is still the same as before: what Liangshan owns, it is owned by Brother Wu." Since Brother Wu intends to take those state capitals, Chao personally led Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Liu Tang, and Tang Bin, ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses, and followed Brother Wu to fight. ”

Song Jiang hurriedly said on the side: "Two brothers, attacking the city and conquering the land, it is no different from a rebellion!" Think again! ”

Chao Gai frowned, and was about to speak, but Cao Cao stopped and said: "Gongming is a virtuous brother, but I have my own reasoning, although I occupy the state and county, but I don't set up my own banner, I must teach Song Ting to get by." At first, they were not angry, or they would send troops to conquer, but I only defeated him a few times, so that he knew that he was powerful, but I did not take advantage of the situation, and then bribed the ministers with a lot of money, so that he knew that I was determined to be in peace, and had no intention of sitting big, and the society had no worries about falling into decline, so he naturally got by. It must be known that if it is today, it has long been full of holes, but for the faint monarchs and traitors, but if it can be pasted, it can be ignored. ”

Wu Yong smiled when he heard this: "Get by, these four words are really exquisite." Isn't this the case with this court? Brother Chao Gai, Brother Gongming, in the opinion of Xiaosheng, this matter is feasible, but the court must take a policy of recruitment. ”

Song Jiang's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.

Cao Cao observed his words and said, "Zhao'an and Zhao'an are very different. For example, when we become big in Liangshan and the imperial court recruits peace, we will inevitably burn the village out of the mountain, and even go to Beijing to meet and reward some official positions and goods. But we have soldiers and generals, how can he be at ease? Inevitably, we must be dragged around to conquer, or to conquer the Great Liao, or to fight against the Western Xia, or to fight against Tibet, in short, when the army is lost, it is no longer useless, so we will give up. Hehe, recruit An, recruit me, what kind of husband is it. ”

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but be shocked.

Chao Gai sneered again and again: "If you say that you go into battle to fight, my brother is not afraid of anyone, if you say that you are sprinkling rotten medicine and manipulating people, this is the skill of those traitors, how can we compare with others?" I always say don't recruit peace, just live happily in the water, that's why. ”

Cao Cao said: "The King of Heaven is a golden and jade good word. But then again, at this time and that time, if I occupy the four states, it will not be so easy for him to recruit again. I have the basics, you come to crusade, you can't beat me, pour the country to conquer, the country is shaken, it's better for everyone to get by, come to the edict to appease me, isn't it a penny? Our conditions are also very simple, Brother Chao Gai, I will be a prefect of Qingzhou, Brother Gongming, I will be a prefect of Dengzhou, Mr. Jialiang, the prefect of Mizhou, Brother Lin Chong, the prefect of Laizhou, hehe, those corrupt officials can do it, is my brother worse than them? ”

Chao Gai laughed when he heard this, Lin Chong shook his head, Wu Yong looked excited, but Song Jiang was stunned, only to feel that Cao Cao's words had opened a new world in front of him, he was bent on Zhao'an, how could he have thought about what would happen after Zhao'an? I never thought that one day, I would be able to be a state parent!

shook his head suddenly, and shouted: "If you want to fight Qingzhou, you might as well bring Wang Ying, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang, these are all Qingzhou people, familiar with geography, how much useful, the two elder brothers are relieved to send troops, there is a younger brother sitting here, and the cottage is foolproof!" ”

Chao Gai nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will take the three of him, and entrust the good brother to all the things of the cottage." ”

At that moment, several people agreed, and left Shi Xiu, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Xue Yong on the mountain, and when Qin Ming's troops arrived, they were led by Chao Gai and Wu Yong as the military division, with a total of 5,000 men and horses, and went to Erlong Mountain to converge.

Cao Cao took the first step, took Niu Gao, Luan Tingyu, Fan Rui, Mu Hong, Shi Qian, as well as Li Jun and Zhang Shun, a group of eight people, and hurried to Qingzhou to meet Lu Zhishen.

There is a way that two flowers bloom, each with a branch: not to mention Chao Gai and other powerful soldiers and horses, just Cao Cao, these eight people, since the water bo, Xiaoxing overnight, to the third day, has rushed to the foot of Erlong Mountain.

Cao Cao was looking up at the mountain, there was already a little minion on the road, and when he saw a few people with extraordinary momentum, he jumped out and said, "Guys, what is the matter with my Erlong Mountain?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Little brother, Lao Ling went up the mountain to report, and said that Wuzhi of Yanggu County, with a few brothers, came to visit Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, the two leaders. ”

When the little minion heard that he was looking for his own village owner, he didn't dare to slack off, and said: "In this case, please rest your horses under the mountain, and the little ones will go back when they go." "Fly up the mountain to report.

When this minion went for a short time, dozens of people came down from the mountain, and a big fat monk walked in the forefront, beaming, came to everyone, clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "What a 'Wu Mengde', it came so fast!" The Sprinkle family really didn't find the wrong person. The Sprinkle family is Lu Zhishen, because of the embroidery on his body, people call me 'Flower Monk', these two brothers, one is the 'blue-faced beast' Yang Zhi, who is the descendant of Tianbo Yang Mansion, and the other is the 'knife ghost' Cao Zheng, who is the apprentice of my Lin Chong brothers! ”

Cao Cao returned the salute and laughed: "Isn't it fateful like this? Sect Leader Lin is also my brother. There is also Brother Yang Zhi, my Erlang has a little brother Yang Zaixing, who joined the army in Dongping Mansion with him, and is also after Yang Men, his father Yang Jin, his ancestor Yang Gong Guangrong, and great-grandfather Yang Gong Bangyu, I don't know if it's your relative? ”

Yang Zhi is a big man with wide shoulders and long arms, and the boss has a cyan birthmark on his face, and when he heard this, he was immediately surprised and delighted: "Ah, Bang Yugong and my grandfather Huai Yugong are half-brothers, in this way, my father and I are brothers of the same generation, and he is my cousin!" Brother Wu, how is my nephew now? How old are you? ”

Cao Cao cocked his thumb and boasted: "Although he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, he has a glimpse of the Yang family's marksmanship, and even the head of the Lin sect is full of praise." ”

Yang Zhi nodded again and again after hearing this, his expression was sentimental and gratified, and said: "Back then, my great-ancestor Wen Guanggong went south and left behind Uncle Bangyu's ancestor, but I didn't expect that there would be a young talent. Brother Wu, how can you introduce me to Ze? In his lineage, he only passed on marksmanship, and I happened to pass on the Yang family's knife technique to my nephew. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This is the best of both worlds, you shouldn't wait for a long time, I will repair a book later, pick a capable brother and send it to Dongping Mansion, and take him to Erlong Mountain to meet my uncle." ”

When Yang Zhi heard this, he grinned, and there was nowhere to put his joyful hands and feet. Cao Cao secretly looked in his eyes and nodded: "He is also a straight-hearted man." ”

Seeing that Yang Zhi still wanted to ask about Yang Zaixing's situation, Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "My Han brother, I smell that there are still relatives in the world, and I am so happy, Brother Yang, how can I entangle Brother Wu here?" If you have something to say, go up the mountain and talk about it in detail. ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "Yes, yes, but I'm happy and stupid." ”

At that moment, everyone went up the mountain, the guests and hosts sat down, Cao Cao introduced his brothers one by one, Lu Zhishen couldn't help but say: "There are so many heroes to follow, and the martial brother must not be an ordinary person." It seems that the sentence of the Sprinkle family is right. ”

Seeing that he was talking about the topic, Cao Cao smiled slightly and said calmly: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, Wu is here for Senior Brother's words." Ming people don't say secret words, in Wu's opinion, the senior brother specially came to Qingzhou to fall into the grass without relatives, he should have made up his mind and wanted to occupy these states. ”

When Lu Zhishen heard this, his eyes widened, and he nodded: "It is worthy of 'Wu Mengde', peeking through the hearts of the Sprinkle family." Not bad! The Sprinkle family escaped from Tokyo at the beginning, only to feel that the world could not be saved, all living beings were suffering, impulsively, thinking why not occupy a place, can be no dog officials, no evil officials, male farmers and women weave, so that people in this world can live like some people, so they came to Qingzhou specially to do a career. ”

Cao Cao looked at his expression and knew that it was not a gesture, but indeed what he thought, and he couldn't help but pay respect: "Senior brother has a good vision, green and dense like a door, Denglai is like a room, the two doors are closed, the north and southeast are three sides, with the sea as the wall, there are benefits of fish and salt, and there can also be sea trade, which is the foundation of Qi Huan's hegemony in the past!" You can close the door and defend yourself, camp the paradise of Taoyuan, enter the door to chase the deer, and spread righteousness in the world! ”

When Li Jun heard this, he remembered that Jiang Jing had explained the words, his heart was pounding, and he glanced at Zhang Shun, and they both saw the horror and ecstasy in the other party's eyes.

Who knew that Lu Zhishen shook his fat head and said: "The Sprinkle family didn't think about it so much, but in the past, I saw the map under the public account of the small kind of Jingluo, and I thought it was good here, the sea on three sides, and if one side was sealed, the people could live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Since you have this plan, why don't you do it yourself?" ”

When Lu Zhishen heard this, his eyes rolled, his fat body was paralyzed, and he said helplessly: "It is extremely rare for the Sprinkle family to think of using Erzhou as the door and Erzhou as the room. After occupying these two dragon mountains, I also thought about making a big deal, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that things were chaotic and my head was as big as a fight. Having said that, if the Sprinkle family really knew how to implement it, they would not have just been a magistrate when they were in the Western Army. And ......"

He suddenly sat up straight again, and said: "The Sprinkle family has also inquired about the characters in Sizhou, and it is okay to be next to it, but there is an extremely powerful person in Dengzhou, and the Sprinkle family thinks to himself, and Wan Wan is not an opponent of this person." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao smiled faintly: "I don't know which master it is?" ”

Lu Zhishen showed a solemn expression: "It's Dengzhou's general judgment, Zong Ze!" ”

"Zong Ze?" Cao Cao looked puzzled.

There is a division of teaching: the obsession of half a life is to recruit peace, and the fierce generals and soldiers are all disasters. A few words brush away the obstacles of knowledge, and a few words recast values.
