Since Cao Cao sent troops, Chao Gai naturally no longer stayed, and immediately led his brothers back to the mountain, and everyone happened to do the same way, for several days, they had arrived at Liangshan.

The heroes who stayed behind on the mountain got the news, and they all came down the mountain to greet them one by one, only to hear the call for brother and brother, and it was a lot of fun.

Chao Gaiben was the most lively, and he was suddenly in high spirits, pulling Lao Cao and smiling: "Brother Wu, the left and right are still in the year, and the weather is cold, so I simply go up the mountain to meet for a few days, and after the new year, how about fighting for him again." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Heavenly King, I drink happily every day, I get drunk every day, where can I still drink a trickle?" I won't go up the mountain, and when I wait for the class teacher to return, the brothers will conspire to get drunk a few more times. ”

Chao Gai saw that he was insistent, so he was reluctant, let everyone walk, and walked more than ten miles, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Brother stay, go out to play, how not to take the little brother!" ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look, but saw an eight-foot man, wearing iron armor, straddle an inferior horse, and hooked a pen knife on the hook of victory, running quickly into the future, with a smile on his face: "Brother stays, and the younger brother will go with you to conquer Fang Laye!" ”

This person is none other than him, there is a hymn, just talking about the benefits of this person-

Born to be fierce like a tiger, riding a horse and wielding a knife to swallow Xia Lu.

The cold and heroic intestines are fierce, and the sonorous iron courage boasts of might.

Destroy the big array alone, hold people's heads, and break into the chieftain's camp to step on the war drums.

Angrily subdue the heavenly demons, and the god of Liangshan will splash Han Wu!

Cao Cao saw Han five horses chasing after him, so he had to stop the army, and when he ran closer, he said helplessly: "Brother, it's not that the foolish brother refuses to take you, but there is something to say first, whoever has been a military general in the imperial court will not take him, but I am afraid that someone will find out." ”

Han Wu glared and said: "Brother don't want to take me, like Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, etc., the whole world knows that he descended to Liangshan, so naturally he didn't dare to take it out, but the younger brother took Duan Sanniang to elope that day, who knew that I went to Liangshan?" Am I not going to be a deserter? This is one of them! Second, they are all famous generals, and the younger brother is just a general of the Western Army, how many people can know him? Even if I meet Mr. Liu, I am not afraid, I will only miss him as an old man at that time, so I will come back to be a soldier, can he bite my eggs? ”

Cao Cao thought about it, it seems to be the same reason, when Han Shizhong abducted Duan Sanniang and ran away, left a book to say goodbye to Liu Yanqing, Lao Liu burned his letter on the spot, and filled in the word missing on the roster, and now he claims that he was injured and scattered during the rebellious army, and now he has returned from injury, why not?

After thinking about this section, he nodded his head and said, "Brother, your calculation is not bad, but Duan Sanniang of the Lingjia family has a deep affection for you, how can he easily let you walk?" ”

Han Shizhong saw that Lao Cao didn't pick him up, and immediately showed a smiling face, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, the mother-in-law in my family is a big belly, between the bed curtains, one can be equal to five ordinary women, although the younger brother is a copper cast iron embryo, she can't help but spend it day and night, brother doesn't see that the younger brother is thin and out of appearance?" And go out to fight with my brother, and I should recuperate - my brother doesn't want to see my younger brother die young, right? ”

Lao Cao listened to the laughter, and couldn't help touching his face, only to feel that the tentacles were hard bones, thinking that Han Wu's words were true, as long as the kung fu was deep, the iron pestle was sharpened into an embroidery needle, thinking of me Lao Cao, outside the wind, frost, snow and rain, tossing and turning, and never saw weight loss, went home for a month, drank and meat every day, but lost a lot of weight, it can be seen that the good fire and charcoal, the good woman Fei Han also!

smiled and said: "In the past, Lu Chunyang Shiyun, the twenty-eight best people looked like crisps, and they slashed fools with swords around their waists. Hehe, but Mrs. Zun has a mace on her waist, which is ten times more vicious than the sword, no wonder you ran out. ”

The two men had the same fate and sympathized with each other, sighed at each other for a while, and then let Han Shizhong join the team, and mixed as a partial general, and the army set off again.

All the way to the night stay, not only one day, finally drove to the outside of Bianjing City, but saw that along the river, densely packed with camp tents, at a glance through the sky, is boundless.

Cao Cao sighed: "It seems that we are indeed late, and I am afraid that the more than 100,000 Western troops have arrived." ”

He called Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and Du Bai, after all, they were his three main generals in name, and asked the three of them to go to the Chinese army camp to see Liu Yanqing, because these three are not clever tongues, so they have to tell me a thousand times, for fear that one of them will say that they will leak out the matter of mixing themselves in the camp, but they are right and wrong.

Lu Junyi is the most honest, and said worriedly: "Brother, according to the rules of the army, I will wait for this to go, and I need to hand over the roster of all the armies under my command. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll use someone else's name and surname." ”

He swept his eyes, looked at the generals, and suddenly asked: "Hey, I don't seem to have seen Li Dunzi since I left Qingzhou, who knows where he is?" ”

Who is this Li Dunzi? This person was originally the head of the Chenzhou soldiers, last year with Tong Guan to Ping Wangqing, he was killed by the thief in the thief general, the army was scattered for a while, and then because he saw Tong Guan personally rushed into battle, he drummed up and killed back, relying on a hob in one hand, and beheaded the Huaixi thief Ji Sansi.

Then Chen Zhoubing was transferred to Lao Cao's command, and in the first battle of Fangzhou, it was this person again, who killed Liu Yijing, a famous general among the thieves, in the melee, and was promoted to deputy general with merit.

Later, Lao Cao was promoted to the envoy of Jiedu, and was ordered to form the Qingzhou Army, most of the original Chenzhou soldiers returned to their hometowns, but this Li Dunzi was willing to stay in the army, and he officially became Lao Cao's subordinates.

Seeing Lao Cao ask about this person, Du Yan smiled and said, "Brother forgot? In the first few days after you returned, Li Dunzi also went with me to my brother's mansion to pay respects. ”

Cao Cao was mentioned by him, and suddenly remembered, and said with a smile: "Yes, this guy is brave in battle, but the amount of alcohol is not good, and he will get drunk after a few glasses." ”

Du Yan nodded again and again: "It's this drunk, it's a good relationship!" That day, he left his brother's mansion, top-heavy and could not walk, it was the younger brother who helped him, and rested in the teahouse of the princess next to him, ordered two decanting teas, and was drinking, but there was a little lady like a flower and jade to go to the princess, the road was the mother-in-law's old friend in Yanggu County, called Zhang Xixi, who spoke gently and gently, and even if he looked straight. ”

Said eyebrows and smiled: "Wang Po is a warm-hearted person, I heard that Zhang Xixi has never allowed others, and immediately praised Dunzi, saying that he is very important to his brother, and has fought hard several times, and his meritorious service is not small, relying on his brother's grace, he has also saved thousands of family business, and he is honest and honest, but it is a pity that there is no lady in the room to take care of him. ”

Cao Cao was dumbfounded when he heard this, didn't he remember this Zhang Xixi? It was the outer room that Ximen Qing raised, after Ximen Qing was killed by him, he had no support, so he asked Wang Po to talk to the matchmaker, and wanted to hook up with Cao Cao, Cao Cao thought she was behaving amorous, and pretended to be incomprehensible, so she only told her to go to the hero building to perform and sing if she had no livelihood.

Later, Wang Po moved to Qingzhou with the Wu family, thinking that there would be no more entanglements, but this woman was also a heart, and she chased to Qingzhou, and still looked for Wang Po to help find a lonely old man.

This Du Yan seems to be an honest person, and he actually said that Zhang Xi is shy, that mother-in-law is a Lu Qi person, and she is an outer room for romantic characters like Ximenqing, I am afraid that one hundred and eight postures have been unlocked, the so-called shyness is just a means of showing off amorous feelings, and it is difficult for him and Li Dunzi to see clearly with their four eyes.

I secretly sighed for Dunzi in my heart, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What happened later?" ”

Du Yan smiled and said: "Later, Dunzi promised Wang Po a hundred yuan of money, begged her to be a matchmaker, and married that cherished to his home, hey, this kid is also blessed, married to a virtuous lady who knows pain and heat, and knows light and heavy." ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this: "How can you see that you know the pain and the heat, and the severity of it?" ”

Du Yan said seriously: "Dunzi is alone, alone in this Qingzhou, according to the younger brother's meaning, he should invite his brother to make decisions for him and preside over the wedding, but his bride listened, and refused in every way, saying that one brother is the master, how many big things to do, how can it be easily disturbed, the two brothers have not been at home for more than a year, and the wife and children at home must be accompanied, let alone add trouble." Therefore, I only invited a few robes and neighbors to celebrate a little. Brother, you think, most women in the world love vanity, and characters like my brother come forward to marry, who doesn't want to? Isn't it virtuous that she can read proportions? ”

Cao Cao was speechless, nodded, and knew in his heart: This woman is afraid that she will expose her bottom, how dare she really let herself go to the main marriage?

Du Yan thought that Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with his point of view, and continued to boast: "Dunzi was in the cave room that day, and the blood stained white cloth, but she was a real yellow flower girl, isn't this a good fate from God?" Dunzi has been fighting hard for half his life, and he has not yet started a family business, and now he has to meet this beautiful woman, and he is really afraid of being afraid of being transformed, holding and afraid of losing. When the younger brother saw that he was newly married, he couldn't give up, and he deliberately didn't order him when he went on this expedition, and asked him to hurry up and keep a man and a woman, and then wait with me to fight before it was too late. ”

Yellow Flower Girl...... Lao Cao sighed, his heart is difficult to dismantle, since he feels happy, why should he be a wicked person? However, Wang Po did not do a good job in this matter, and she must be dealt with when she goes back.

Shaking his head, he shook off these distracting thoughts and said, "Okay, since Dunzi has never come, I will act as Li Dunzi on this southern expedition." With an army of more than 100,000 people, can Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing see me? ”

Since Lao Cao's idea was decided, Wu Song and the others naturally obeyed, and the three of them immediately brought a deputy each, Yan Qing, Yang Zaixing, Niu Gao, six people and six horses, and galloped to the Chinese army camp.

More than two hours later, the sky was dark, and the six people returned, and said to Cao Cao: "Liu Jiedu is a person who misses the old and says a lot of words about his brother, but Tong Guanna ordered the three of my generals and asked the three of us to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and act as the vanguard of the army. Tomorrow to replenish our army's rations, the day after tomorrow will send troops, go straight to Runzhou, so that the army can cross the river. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood Tong Guan's calculations: he had long been in charge of the Western Army, and regarded it as the foundation of his own power, and he had previously promoted Lao Cao to build the Qingzhou Army, which was intended not to put eggs in one basket, and then cultivate a force that could compete with the Western Army, thinking that it was balanced, but he was unfortunate enough to "fall into the Jin State", so he changed his mind about the Qingzhou Army, regarded it as a consumable, and wanted to use the courage of Wu, Lu and others to break the pattern of the south of the Yangtze River, so as to teach the Western Army to make great achievements.

Immediately sneered: "It's a good calculation, he is all the Western Army, only my thousands of people can be counted as guest troops, and now teach us to gnaw bones, but they are good at meat, but unfortunately after all, I underestimated my brothers, they want to tell me to gnaw bones, I call them no credit!" Let's see who's in a hurry. ”

The next day, the grain was really delivered, and the quantity was ordered, only a short thirty percent, which shows that although Tong Guan wants to use them as consumables, there is a lot of sincerity.

Another day, after the five watches, Lao Cao immediately sent troops, more than 3,000 people to make a long snake formation, take the dry road, go southeast, and go straight to Yangzhou!

This is exactly what it is: before counting the enemy, you will count yourself, and there will be endless internal friction. In the arrogant dragon's ambition and white clouds, the snakes and rats are in the sewage.
