Hearing that Duan Wu was captured, Cao Cao immediately smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, congratulations!" ”

Tong Guan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Duan Wu, this person, he can't write or martial arts, just because he is Wang Qing's brother-in-law, and he has the reputation of being a thief chieftain, but in fact he is just a straw bag, and he is like getting a quail, what is the joy?" ”

Cao Cao's smile did not decrease, and he said leisurely: "The young general hears that there are atmospheric luck people in the world, who are in line with the will of heaven and the hearts of the people, and they are the ones loved by heaven and earth." In this generation, everything that is done will be accomplished, and everything that is desired will be achieved. Now that Eun Xiang is about to restore Xijing, so the key from heaven has come down, isn't it just a sign of unparalleled luck? ”

Tong Guan listened to the great joy, thinking that he had been doing all these years, and he really could call his wish come true, even if there were some twists and turns for a while, the result was finally happy, and he nodded again and again: "I know that the destiny of heaven is in Song after all, and I pity Tong Guan and be loyal, so I am blessed by a certain family!" ”

After rejoicing for a while, he was curious: "Xiao Wu, why is the straw bag in Duan Wu the key of Xijing?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and talked eloquently: "Duan Wu lives in Jiancheng, why was he captured?" From the point of view of the last general, it must be the two members of the Huaixi thief Xi Sheng and Xie Ning during the day, and the thief was so frightened that under Duan Wu's men, there was no one to support the portal for him, this person was afraid of being captured by the officials and soldiers, and the second was afraid of being controlled by Tian Hu, so he simply escaped from Xijing, hoping to escape. ”

Tong Guan listened to him in an orderly manner, nodded secretly, and heard Cao Cao laugh again: "Duan Wu, this person, is not able to convince the public to win the hearts of the people, and his subordinates naturally turned against him when they saw his defeat, and it is also appropriate to tie him up to ask for a reward." However, he knows about this, but where did the thieves in the city know? ”

Tong Guan clapped his hands and sighed: "Wonderful! Do you want to take his heart first, and then let him lead the army into the city? If this is the case, it is better to act as soon as possible, otherwise the thieves will be useless if they know that Duan Wu has escaped. ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Grace and high see!" ”

Tong Guan nodded, his expression was solemn, and his eyes glared: "Come on, bring those two people up." ”

After a while, several colonels pushed two men into the tent, and first pointed to a five-flowered tie and entered the tent and said: "This is Duan Wu." ”

He pointed to another man with his hands tied behind his back and a lewd face: "This person claims to be Duan Wu's henchman, and he grabbed Duan Wu to offer it. ”

The man hurriedly knelt down, and he didn't know who was who, so he just kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Villain Niu Si, I've seen two generals." ”

Tong Guan looked at Cao Cao, which meant to go, first collect his heart, and quickly break through his city!

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and shouted: "That's it, Niu Si, raise your head and speak, and say how did you capture Duan Wu?" ”

Niu Si raised his head tremblingly, and forced himself to squeeze out a smile: "General Rongyu, the villain is the body of Duan Wu's dog thief, this dog thief was afraid of the generals, so he took a few of us to escape from the city, and then so, so, so......, so

After he told what had happened, Cao Cao's face turned cold, and he said: "Since he is a considerate person, but he caught the master in exchange for a reward, it can be seen that he is also a disloyal and unrighteous person!" ”

"Wronged, General!" Niu Sisi was shocked and burst into tears: "The villain is originally a Song person, naturally loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, the villain is by the side of this anti-thief, it seems to be his henchman, in fact, in fact, it is like Guan Yunchang who is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, although he is trapped in a thief's den, he is looking forward to the bright moon, and he never forgets the Great Han, ah no, he does not forget the Great Song!" Now that I learned that the heavenly soldiers were coming, I specially captured this damn Cao Cao, ah no, Duan Wu! Captured the damned Duan Wu and dedicated it to the general. ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and said lightly: "In this way, the general has wronged you." ”

"He, he's wronged!" Duan Wu was originally scared as soft as mud, but when he heard that Cao Cao didn't seem to think much of Niu Si, he suddenly lifted his spirits:

If you are an anti-bone boy, Lao Tzu is dead, and you should be dragged to the street together!

At the moment, he rolled and scolded, and exposed Niu Si's old bottom one by one: "General Mingjian, this guy is not what we forced him to rebel against, I and Wang Qing just went to Fangshan and fell into the grass not long ago, I heard that the officers and soldiers of Fangzhou killed the generals, and their own family rebelled, so I listened to Li Zhu's plan, and went to Fangzhou to do the foundation, Niu Si was originally Fangzhou splashing skin, taking advantage of the chaos to rob houses on the street, killing and injuring people's lives, just because he opened the door to welcome Wang Qing's merit, which allowed him to join the gang, he was still in Cao Ying's heart in Han, I bah!" is also Guan Yunchang, he also deserves it! ”

Niu Si was shocked when he heard this, he didn't care about being in the handsome tent, and pounced on Duan Wu and kicked Duan Wu indiscriminately - he only tied his hands, but Duan Wu was tied up with five flowers, and he immediately won a big victory, kicking Duan Wu and howling wolves.

The two colonels hurriedly stepped forward to pull Niu Si away, and Cao Cao sneered: "It turned out to be a thief with bones, biting his companions, so he wanted to be a good person?" Come, pull him down, and slaughter him for me. ”

Niu Si was shocked: "General, the lord spares his life, how about I give all the rewards to the master?" Master, ah, dog officer, but the master is stupid, you still have to squeeze out the oil from the stone, how can you give me a large reward, I am wronged......"

The voice faded away for a moment.

Duan Wu sat up and laughed: "Okay! Good to die! Ruthless and unrighteous thief bones! That's it, although Duan Mou will inevitably be chopped, before he dies, he sees him die, and he is also ...... Heart, heart willing......"

Although the words were hard, but thinking of the pain of the 3,600 knives, I couldn't help trembling, tears flowed all over, and suddenly turned over and knelt up, kowtowed: "Master mercy, great mercy, give me a good time, Duan Wu is a ghost, and he also reads the kindness of the two masters." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Who said they were going to kill you? ”

These five words floated into Duan Wu's ears, and it was really "like listening to Xianle's ears for a while", and his face was suddenly full of surprise and irrepressible, and he looked at Cao Cao with blank eyes: "General, what did you say about the old man?" My short-lived brother Duan Er, the spy returned, 3,600 knives, not a single knife. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "If you talk about punishment, since ancient times, only ask the main culprit, although you are also a thief chief, but not as headed by Wang Qing." The reason why your brother was punished so badly was that he was rude and insulted me! If you don't deal with him again, who is willing to be willing to do it, you are so cowardly, don't you also insult my handsome? ”

"Nope! Treat unjustly! No way! Duan Wu shook his head almost and shook it off: "The villain has admired Tong Dashuai since he was a child, and when he was a good citizen in the township, he would hate every time he drank wine, and he hated to be a pawn under Tong Dashuai and follow him to kill those summer dogs." My brother is very bold, so Duan Er and I have turned against each other and punched him several times. ”

"It turns out that you actually have the heart to serve the handsome!" Cao Cao feigned exclamation, then shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity!" Duan Wu, if you didn't abandon the army and flee privately, and still occupy the position of the anti-thief general, ascend to the heights and shout, and sacrifice the Xijing City, wouldn't you be able to redeem your merits, not to mention Ling Chi, the capital crime may be exempted from you, no, you can really be a general under the command of the marshal. ”

Duan Wu showed a look of disbelief: "How is it possible? Rebellion is the sin of the Nine Tribes......"

Cao Cao smiled pityingly: "Hey, the main culprit is Wang Qing, and it's not you Duan Wu, you should know Wen Shichong, right?" This person dedicated Nanfeng, not only did he not investigate the responsibility for participating in the rebellion, but the marshal even personally named him the commander of the Yellow River Water Army. Besides, which of the ten major festival envoys of this dynasty was not the first to rebel according to the mountain? After recruiting An, he was used by Da Yu Dalu. ”

Duan Wu was stunned, his face showed remorse, and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were urgent and resolute: "General! The general let me go, and I led my own troops and horses to surrender! ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Now in the city, there are more Jin thieves and horses than you, Niu Wenzhong has many generals, you are only alone, whether there are strong generals under your command, don't want the city to be opened yet, he will be killed first." ”

Duan Wu heard that Dajue was reasonable, and he was suddenly stunned, he was not a wise man, but at this moment of life and death, he suddenly blessed his soul, rolled over, rolled to Cao Cao's feet, and prostrately said: "General, please join me with a group of soldiers and horses, and enter Xijing with me, Xijing South City, all my men and horses, and there is no one who is a thief, only with Duan Wu's face, it is easy to get in and out." ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Tong Guan, Tong Guan's face was full of joy, and he nodded again and again.

At this time, it was the fourth watch, Cao Cao ordered the troops under his command and divided them into three routes: Yuan Lang, Teng Ji, and Teng Ji led the way and went around the north gate to garrison; Du Yan, Zhu Jing, and Liu Yuan led all the way to garrison outside the West Gate; Cao Cao personally led 10,000 troops with Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Lu Junyi, and Sun An, and took Duan Wu to the south gate to enter the city.

As for the east gate, it was garrisoned by Tong Guan's army.

Speaking of Cao Cao's way, people wore soft battles, horses picked up bells, took advantage of the moonlight like frost and snow all over the ground, bypassed the city wall far away, came to the south city, and came straight to the city gate.

When the defenders of the city saw a large number of soldiers coming, they immediately beat gongs and drums and shouted, Duan Wu was shocked, rode a horse alone, galloped to the city, and shouted: "What is the noise, are you crazy?" Where is Duan Gou'er's handful of birds, you can't fucking recognize Ben Shuai? ”

A partial general in the city heard it familiarly, and hurriedly gathered many lanterns to look at it, and took a closer look, it was indeed Duan Wu!

When the general saw Duan Wu, he was surprised and delighted, and said in surprise: "Ah, it's actually the fifth master who is back, the fifth master, didn't you, didn't you abandon me and leave alone?" ”

After Duan Wu heard this, he remembered that he had also called this person to open the city gate for him before, his face instantly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Hugh is talking nonsense, disturbing the heart of our army, this commander went out of the city in order to personally receive reinforcements, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, why don't you open the city quickly?" ”

That partial general Duan Gou'er, coincidentally, was the Zhuang Ding of the Duan family, who fell into the grass with the killing of Fangshan, although his qualifications were old, he was not popular, so he was only a partial general in the army, so he called Duan Wu to be the fifth master, but it was different from the second master Duan Erye.

When the dog opened the city gate happily, Cao Cao led the army to pour in in one fell swoop, and was about to give the order to seize the city gate, but he heard the dog laugh and said: "Fifth master, where are the reinforcements now?" You must have surrendered the Song army and led the Song army to take Xijing, right? ”

Duan Wu's surprise was not trivial, but Cao Cao said strangely: "Do you know that we are the Song army, and we still open the city gate?" ”

Duan Gou'er smiled: "What about Song Jun? Wouldn't it be better than the Jin army. You don't know this general, those old Xi'er, since they knew that the King of Chu was defeated, their faces were so tricky, and when they saw each other, they ridiculed and insulted us Huaixi people, and fought back a little, and beat them with their fists. Damn, everyone is clearly a thief, they seem to be a head above us, general, you think, when a thief has to be a first-class thief, isn't it wronged? The fifth master refused to make decisions for his brothers, rather than being bullied by them plainly, it was better for everyone to surrender the Song army with the fifth master, and we were also Song people. ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "This brother can see that since you have such a thought, you should go and gather your own soldiers and horses, hand over your weapons, and wait for the landing in the camp." ”

Duan Gou'er shook his head when he heard this: "General, it's better for us to be the pioneers, and everyone will go to Lao Xi'er together, so that we can give some credit to the brothers, make the merit for the crime, clear the name of the thief, and go home to be a good citizen." ”

Cao Cao became more and more surprised when he heard this, nodded and said: "That's it, if you have such a skill, not only will you be guilty of your merits, but I will also ask for a reward for your merits." ”

Duan Gou'er shook his head again and said: "If there is really merit, it will be counted on the head of the fifth master, his sin is big, and he must need more credit to fold it." ”

When Duan Wu heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and choked up: "Ah, dog, you are so loyal, Fifth Master, I have always been slow to treat you." ”

Duan Gou'er smiled and said: "What do you say about being slow, when I was five years old, there was a great drought, and I starved and killed my father, if it wasn't for the third lady asking me to go to Duan's house to make a horse for her to ride, and forcing you and the second master to take steamed buns as fodder to feed me, I would have been gnawed by wild dogs." Don't you repay this kindness? ”

Cao Cao secretly frowned, "Duan Wu, you don't need such loyal subordinates, why did you escape with four wolf-hearted dogs?" ”

Duan Wu was ashamed to die, lowered his head and muttered: "It's just because Duan Gou'er is a guy who doesn't listen to him every time, so my brother and I don't like him." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Presumably your sister is happy with him." ”

Duan Gou'er sighed and said: "Miss originally treated me very well, but later she was going to marry the King of Chu, but I said that the guy looked like a little white face and couldn't be relied on, so Miss didn't want to pay attention to me." ”

Xiao Jiasui shook his head and sighed: "Good words are bitter, loyal words are contrary to ears, since ancient times, the king has a minister, not to die in his country, his father has a son, not to die in his family, he has such a loyal servant and does not know how to treat it well, it can be seen that his Duan family has fallen into such a situation." ”

Xu Guanzhong, Lu Junyi, etc., also sighed.

Cao Cao said: "That's it, since Duan Gou'er has this loyal heart, I will fulfill you!" You lead your troops forward to fight, and my men then take cover. ”

Duan Gou'er nodded happily, at this time many Huaixi thieves heard the gong, rushed to the future, saw the Song army, exclaimed in unison, and waited to come up to fight, Duan Gou'er ran up to the city wall, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, move slowly, listen to the words of the younger brother, everyone rebelled with the king of Chu, some are sincere, some are false, but now the king of Chu has been killed by the official army, I will carry the name of the thief, there is no return, there are only two roads, before we start, let's choose one first." ”

Some people shouted, "Is it a dog?" Are you telling me to wait for the surrendered officers? You forgot that the government has made me miserable. ”

Duan Gou'er sighed: "Back then, my father and mother starved to death, and it was the government that robbed the only grain in the family to fill the field tax, and the government hateful, don't I know?" But where in the whole world is there a way for the poor to live? I don't ask you to surrender, only ask you to choose, the first way, the king of Chu is gone, follow the king of Jin to continue to rebel, we are not from his hometown, how Lao Xi'er bullied me, these days you know yourself, so it is difficult to fight to the death, we must wait first, if you choose this road, it is not impossible, but you are bullied on weekdays, and you are sent to death during the war, so you don't have to regret it. ”

After saying this, all the Huaixi thieves were silent.

Xu Guanzhong whispered in Lao Cao's ear: "This dog is a rare talent, but it's a pity that Wang Qing and others have no eyes and don't know how to reuse." ”

Xiao Jiasui also did not hide the appreciation in his eyes, nodded and said: "This son is talented, not an idle person. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let's watch what he does." ”

But I heard Duan Gou'er say again: "The second way is to lower the officers and soldiers, everyone go to kill the Jin thieves, make meritorious service and wash the name of the thief, and go home to become good citizens." ”

When someone heard this, he exclaimed, "Aren't you being oppressed by the government again?" ”

The dog sighed and said: "Fish eat shrimp, shrimp gnaw mud, you don't want to serve the people, so you go to be a soldier and earn a reputation with a knife and a gun." Besides, the court may not want to see this turmoil of the King of Chu, I see that at least in the next few years, I will treat the people of Huaixi more or less, as for the future, can you think so far? ”

The man laughed, "I think of a fart, I'm hungry, I want to eat soup cakes tomorrow." ”

When the Huaixi thieves heard this, they all laughed.

Lao Cao suddenly burst into tears and said loudly: "Huaixi men, kill the thief with me today, if you don't die, tomorrow I will discipline you to eat enough soup cakes and have meat in your bowls!" ”

The Huaixi thieves were stunned at first, and then cheered loudly, and countless men shouted: "I said that there was meat and soup cakes, and I went to kill the Jin thieves earlier, and I still talked so much nonsense!" ”

All the thieves jumped up one after another, waving swords and guns and shouting in unison: "Kill the Jin thief, kill the Jin thief and eat soup cakes!" ”

The tide generally rushed to the ground of the Jinzhong army.

Cao Cao was embarrassed for a while, and pulled Xu Guanzhong to tears: "Guanzhong, you don't need to fight this battle, you go to see Tong Guan quickly, and let him order the Huotou Army to prepare enough soup cakes, and each bowl must have three taels of meat!" ”

The so-called: Mo Xiao Cao Gong tears and rain pounds, amorous since ancient times. If you have two full meals of soup and cakes, whoever raises the sword will die.

Sorry for coming home late. Today, the two chapters are released in one.
