In a few days it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the second year of Xuanhe arrived as scheduled.

Chao Gai and others saw that the New Year was approaching, so they simply stayed in Qingzhou to celebrate the New Year together, and dozens of brothers were waiting for money all day long, and they couldn't think of returning.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Cao Cao saw that the deadline for the transfer was approaching, so he gathered everyone to go to his mansion to drink and discuss the dispatch of troops.

Hu Sanniang was reluctant to give up, and said angrily: "This Fang La, but it can also be hateful, he will be a few months late and then turn back, what can he do?" I can spend more time with my husband. ”

In fact, where did Sanniang know that if it weren't for Lao Cao wearing Wuda, Fang La's official rebellion would have been in October this year.

Later Westerner Edward Lorenz had the theory of "butterfly effect", saying that accidental variables affect the development of things.

It is Lao Cao who was born, the pattern of the rivers and lakes has changed greatly, Wang Qing and Tian Hu are unlucky, their fortunes have not reached their peak, and they have been destroyed by Lao Cao's hands, they are both the four big Kou, how can there be no waves in Fang La's heart?

In Fang La's view, as soon as Wang and Tian died, the eyes of the court only focused on themselves and Chao Gai, but who is Chao Gai? Hiding in Liangshan, shrinking his head and water, neither attacking the state nor hitting the government, not like the king of Tota, but like the king of the stele eight, how can he be comparable to his brilliant holy father?

He didn't believe that the princes of the court didn't know this.

It can be inferred from this that the next knife of the imperial court will inevitably be cut on his head.

Therefore, Fang La stepped up the recruitment of troops and horses, and made people compile nursery rhymes to spread around, saying that "ten thousand plus a little, the end of winter is respected." Across the Zhejiang water, the traces are in Wuxing. ”

Ten thousand is ten thousand, plus the point is the square, and the winter is the wax, that is, the south of the square is the meaning of respect, where can those farmers and peasant women distinguish the true from the false? Fang La, the capital of the city, has a mandate of heaven, competing for the scenery, Fang La thinks that he has occupied the hearts of the people, so he raised an army against the Song Dynasty, the year name is "Yongle", the big seal of civil and military, and the four attacks.

The officers and soldiers of Jiangnan, who have not heard of the golden drum for many years, how can they block the front of Fang La's soldiers? Eat him first Keqingxi, and then go down to Mu and Sheerzhou, and then attack Quzhou in the south, sweep Xincheng, Tonglu, Fuyang counties in the north, and finally attack Hangzhou, the end is like a bamboo, in a few months, the prestige is greatly inspired, and the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River have responded, killing officials and seizing the city, plundering the people, and the situation is rotten.

Lao Cao saw that Sanniang was unhappy, and said with a smile: "He rebelled early, and he calmed down early, just before Jin Guo came, and settled down first." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Kui sat not far away, and he rarely wrinkled a pair of wild eyebrows, and said eagerly: "Brother, Deng Yuanjue and Shi Bao are all good men, and there is also that ......, if you go to war with the imperial court, won't you want to be their enemy?" ”

Cao Cao sighed, remembering the scene of drinking at night in the barren mountains and talking about martial arts, as at present, he lowered his head and was silent for a while.

Li Kui's big eyes purred, and he suddenly smiled: "I know that my brother doesn't want to embarrass the hero, but he came up with a good plan with his belly, and he is about to dedicate it to his brother." ”

When all the heroes heard this, they were all full of surprise, Chao Gai laughed and said: "I was on the mountain, and I heard that Tie Niu had learned to compose poetry for a long time, and I only thought that the strange thing in the world was nothing more than this, who knew that today, he would still have a plan!" Pedant, your position as a military advisor is afraid that it will be remembered by this black guy. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Li Kui became anxious, jumped up and shouted: "Don't underestimate people, don't you want to underestimate people, how can Tie Niu just pick an axe?" I have a brilliant plan, discipline Fang La, and call him a minister! ”

Chao Gai smiled for a moment, and said strangely: "Ah, this guy really knows how to compose poetry!" ”

He is from Baozheng in the village, he can't say that he has no ink, and he really only knows a few words, and his level of appreciation of poetry is never more than Jiao Ting, so he was really taken aback, Wu Yong smiled and said: "Heavenly King, Shibei should be impressed for three days, since Tie Niu has a plan, and let him say, if he is really good, why not add a military advisor?" ”

Li Kui was overjoyed when he heard this, so he went to sit down beside Wu Yong, squeezed his eyebrows, hugged his shoulders tightly and said: "Sure enough, there are only literati like military advisors, Fang and I sympathize with each other, and when these people refuse to believe it, when I tell a clever plan, I am shocked by them." ”

Wu Yong smiled and said, "I'll listen to it." ”

Li Kui was proud, and said: "Now on the rivers and lakes, who doesn't know that the 'Southern Holy Prince, Northern Heavenly King' are equally famous? Since Fang La is reversed, according to my Tie Niu's strategy, we simply rebelled against the imperial court, so we led the soldiers and horses of various states, converged with the Liangshan generals, and entered Tokyo in one fell swoop, and seized the bird position, Wu Zhi's brother will be the emperor, Chao Gai's brother will be the little emperor, and I will be a general, so I will ask my brother to write a decree, maybe Fang La, a prince sits, Tie Niu went to Jiangnan to announce the decree for his brother, and brought Fang La to surrender to his brother. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi and others were overjoyed, and they all applauded and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's really a good plan!" ”

Wu got up with a smile, hugged his fists and said: "Brother, Tie Niu's words are not rough, we have the Yellow River Water Division, full force surprise attack, one drum can break Bianjing, the boundary has taken the righteousness in hand, I am not afraid that Fang La will not obey." ”

However, Cao Cao sighed, waved his hand and said, "If you only talk about anti-Song, then what's so difficult?" It's just that brothers, and listen to the words of the foolish brother - if you talk about Zhao's talent and virtue, it is really not enough to take charge of China, but the brothers also think, if we really raise troops at this time, the north and the south will rebel, and the heroes will inevitably rise together, and it will really become a world of great chaos over there, and then they will attack each other, and only the people will suffer. Therefore, the foolish brother has always been thinking, not to usurp Song Ye, but to replace Song Er. ”

Wu Yong and Xiahou Hu glanced at each other, and their eyes were bright.

However, more brothers are at a loss, what is the difference between the Song Dynasty and the usurped Song Dynasty?

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Xiahou Hu stood up and talked eloquently: "Usurp, rebel, substitute, Shun, brothers, what Brother Wu means is that if it is directly reversed, the war will continue to be in trouble, and the people will not suffer a lot?" But if one day, the will of heaven and the people's hearts belong to my brother, then the Zhao family will not usurp and collapse, so that there will be no major damage to the national strength and people's livelihood, and it is the best policy. ”

After that, he solemnly hugged his fist at Cao Cao: "My brother has the world in his heart, and he is really the lord of great benevolence and righteousness." ”

Cao Cao was not happy, waved his hand, and said in a heavy tone: "I still remember the time of the Han Dynasty, a Han can be a Wuhu, and those who dare to commit crimes will be punished even if they are far away, how majestic is that?" However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, dragons and snakes arose, and the heroes quarreled, from the eighteenth road princes to Dong Zhuo, to the later three kingdoms side by side, the lives were devastated, ten rooms and nine empty, and the national strength was exhausted. I have read the history books so far, I have not been able to sigh with tears, such an unbearable experience, one time, how can it be repeated? ”

When Wu Yong and the others heard this, their hearts were shocked, and then they knew why Cao Cao was obviously not subservient, but he was willing to fight for the Song Dynasty in the south and in the north.

Lao Cao said slowly: "It is said that heroes are born in troubled times, and when it comes to heroes, who are heroes?" In fact, those who take advantage of the chaos are mostly tigers and wolves! Rather than letting those hungry tigers gain power, it is better to let the well-fed tigers live first, but there is less harm, and now with the Jurchen on the side, it is a world of great contention in a blink of an eye, that is our protection of the country, only to really respond to the time, to win the hearts of the people, the abolition of the matter, I can make a decision! ”

Chao Gai and the others thought so, and said in unison: "Brother Wu has hills and valleys in his chest, and we only listen to orders." ”

Lao Cao saw that everyone understood their intentions, showed a smile, looked at Li Kui and said: "The Western Army is good at fighting, if I don't go, Fang La and the others will be defeated, those heroes, all of them have been killed in vain, if I go, I can learn from it, and leave the heroes useful." ”

Li Kui said with a smile: "My brother's strategy must be better than that of the Iron Bull, and there is only one case, that is, my brother will take the Iron Bull with him." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Jin Guo kept me as a hostage and fled back without permission, which is more or less a handle." In my opinion, this time I will let my family Erlang be the main general, assisted by Brother Lu and Brother Du, and I will bring some brothers, all of whom will be partial generals and captains, and they will be mixed in the army, and they will not meet Tong Guan and others. ”

When everyone heard this, they all rushed to go, and Liu Tang shouted: "Brother, I am waiting on the mountain every day to either train or practice martial arts, and the days are boring, how about taking my little brother to fight Fang La?" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Brothers, listen to me, there is no need for many people in this matter, the brothers who have been officials and generals know a lot of people, but they can't go, brothers from the rivers and lakes, if they haven't shown their whereabouts, they might as well go to see the characters in Jiangnan." ”

Immediately ordered "Zhiduoxing" Wu Yong, "Bull Demon King" Bian Xiang, "Nine-Pattern Dragon" Shi Jin, "Demon King of the Mixed World" Fan Rui, "Divine Horse" Ma Ling, "Pulling Mountain Force" Tang Bin, "Smashing Mountain" Shan Shiqi, "Sword Chaos" Yun Zongwu, "Prodigal Son" Yan Qing, "White Flower Snake" Yang Chun, "Jumping Tiger" Chen Da, "Red-haired Ghost" Liu Tang, "Dangerous Dao God" Yu Baosi, "Standing Tai Sui" Ruan Xiaoer, "Short-lived Erlang" Ruan Xiaowu, "Living Yama" Ruan Xiaoqi, "Black Wind Tiger" Niu Gao, "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui, "Little Wenhou" Lu Fang, " Sai Rengui "Guo Sheng, a total of twenty brothers together.

Those who are ordered are overjoyed, and those who are not ordered shake their heads and sigh.

Lao Cao has some calculations in his heart, for example, he has never brought Shi Wengong, first, he accompanied the envoy before, and the exchange was hard, and second, he assassinated Cai Jing's son last year, and he also appeared in public, unlike Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, who just responded, and no one could recognize it.

Yang Zaixing was overjoyed when he saw that those who were spotted, and he was envious in his heart, so he quietly approached Lao Cao and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wu, since you and the second brother are going, why don't you take the younger brother with you, or lead the horse for the eldest brother, and look around to see the long knowledge." ”

Cao Cao laughed in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that Zhang Qing will come again and rob your Qiongying sister?" ”

It turned out that after Zhang Qing was arrested, he lived in Qingzhou for a few days, and he fell in love with a group of heroes, until he ate Zhou Tongxi's wine, and then returned to Dongchang Mansion.

Yang Zaixing didn't eat him to scare him, his two eyes rolled around, and he smiled evilly: "Big brother Hugh wants to trick me, the second brother has written a letter a few days ago, asking Uncle Ye to come and pick up Qiongying back to Gaotang Prefecture quickly, calculate the time, today and tomorrow should come, this time, Zhang Qing is coming to Qingzhou, it's just a blind man lighting the lamp in vain, what do I care about him." ”

Cao Cao saw that he was not fooled, and was about to make up another reason, Wu Song smiled on the side and said: "Big brother, Zaixing's marksmanship has just reached a bottleneck, and he has to fight with Haojie a lot to go further, if it is not too troublesome, it is better to take him there." ”

Lao Cao naturally didn't refute Wu Song's face, nodded and said, "Since the second brother said so, how can there be any reason not to take him?" It's just that Zaixing, Fang La's subordinates, there are really a few extravagant characters, you are young and vigorous, but you must not be underestimated. ”

Yang Zaixing saw that he was relieved, and he jumped up with joy, but for those instructions, he went in the left ear and went out in the right ear, just put on a respectful and teachable demeanor, and couldn't help nodding yes.

There is a division of teaching: can write poems to give advice, once rude and now fine. Lao Cao read Shi and took pity on Li Min, and beheaded the Song Emperor.
