Sanruan went for a long time and didn't return, Cao Cao couldn't help but worry in his heart, took a group of brothers, walked to the camp gate and waited, but saw a person on the canal walking in a panic.

Wu Song's eyes were sharp, and he pointed and shouted, "But it's not Niu Gao?" How did he come back alone? ”

Cao Cao frowned, greeted the water's edge, saw him covered in blood and dust, his face was bruised, and asked urgently: "Why are you so embarrassed?" And what about the three brothers? ”

Niu Gao jumped ashore, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Brother, woe too! The four of us were looking for a flood city, so they rowed to a mountain peak in Taihu Lake to see the water potential, but there were four thieves on that island, in charge of two or three hundred men who could fight, their words and deeds were very rude, and he did not agree with him to fight, he cast a fishing net to catch the second brother, the seventh brother, scratched the hook and caught the fifth brother, the younger brother ran into the forest, they could not cast the net, only to be escaped to the water's edge by the younger brother, and walked back with the broken waves, but the three brothers were trapped on the island, saying that they wanted to eat their hearts and livers. ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and angry, and Li Kui shouted even more: "Dare to eat our brother? What a thief! Brother, give me a horse, and the iron bull will level the island for my brother. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "If you fight on land, you will naturally be used, but he is on the island, and now that he has broken the Ruan family brothers, how can he still fight with others?" ”

After all, he had experienced the Battle of Chibi and knew that water warfare and land warfare were completely different, and he had to have specialized talents to be able to fight.

Li Kui hurriedly said: "Don't you care about the three of them?" ”

Wu Song said angrily: "How can it not care? You don't want to be Luo, let the big brother think about it. ”

Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, Cao Cao interrogated Niu Gao carefully for a while, repeated every word of the other party, and nodded: "In this way, this group of people is not idle. ”

Lu Junyi said curiously: "Where does this start? ”

Cao Cao said: "Fang Lanai is a great man in the rivers and lakes, this rebellion is huge, and there are famous heroes in the south of the Yangtze River, all of whom are under his command, such as the Lu Shi and even the twelve gods of Jiangnan. In terms of these four people, they can recognize the water nature, and they can fight with Sanruan, and there is another cadre of people under their command, if they are willing to take refuge in Fang La, it is not too much to make him a naval commander, right? But he would rather be at ease, which shows that he has a hill in his chest. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Cao Cao said: "They live in the Taihu Lake, and the upper and lower states are all occupied by Fang La, but they sit back and watch their arrogant side, it can be seen that his island is by no means easy to fight, otherwise why let him sleep soundly by the couch?" ”

Lu Junyi touched his head and smiled: "I also heard Niu Gao's words, but I never thought about what my brother thought. ”

Bian Xiang thought for a moment and said slowly: "If that's the case, wouldn't we be able to beat him?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and sighed: "Although the three thousand men and horses in our camp are all capable of fighting, there are very few who are good at boating, and there is a lack of warships, and they don't know the water conditions of Taihu Lake, so if you want to start a war with these sitting tigers, it is really not the best policy." ”

Everyone was angry after hearing it, but after thinking about it, everything Cao Cao said was the truth, and they had to swallow their anger.

Lu Junyi frowned and said, "In this way, do you want to give in to him?" ”

Cao Cao smiled disapprerovingly: "If you can save the lives of my three brothers, what does it matter if you obey it?" If he is really rude, when he rescues people, I will transfer the Yellow River and Dengzhou water divisions to kill him so that no chickens and dogs will be left. ”

Niu Gao said happily: "Brother's words are the same as what the younger brother said, and the younger brother also said that if they don't respect the three elder brothers of the Ruan family, they will send a large army to kill him." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's what you said the most!" I expected that when they saw that Ling was carrying a strange treasure and was a general of the imperial court, they would not dare to easily hurt San Ruan. Otherwise, everything is over. ”

After that, he said: "In the current situation, we can't take it with strength, so we have to move it with emotion." Jiro—"

Wu Song heard him call, and hurriedly responded: "Big brother, brother is here." ”

Cao Cao said lightly: "You and I are brothers, go to his island together, do you dare?" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Wu Song laughed and said, "Big brother, didn't you deliberately tease your brother?" The Heavenly Lingxiao Palace, the city of death in the underworld, how can there be a place where Wu Song dare not go? It's just that the eldest brother doesn't have to take risks in person, and the younger brother ......."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao interrupted him, pointed and smiled: "You all see, I asked him if he dared, and he said that he dared, but he also said that I don't want to go, don't you still dare?" ”

Li Kui hurriedly explained: "The second brother has always been a smart person, but how did he stay today? My brother didn't ask you if you dared to go, but if you dared to let him go. ”

Wu Song didn't think that there was a trap in Cao Cao's words, and glared at Li Kui: "You are a smart black guy!" ”

sighed and looked at Cao Cao: "Big brother, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, there are many brothers who are like wolves and tigers, no matter who they are, if you go with me, you will definitely rescue the three brothers of the Ruan family, and the eldest brother has the Han family on his shoulder, why go to the risk?" ”

When he said this, all the brothers nodded one after another, and they all persuaded Cao Cao not to go in person. Lu Junyi touched his belly, and said: "Brother only cares about sitting high, and when the younger brother takes Xiao Yi, he will go for a walk with Erlang, if he doesn't pick up his three brothers back, the younger brother will come to see him." ”

Du Yan, Bian Xiang, Han Shizhong and others also rushed to go.

Cao Cao waved his hand and stopped him from talking: "You and other brothers don't have to fight, if you want to go for your brother, you have to be strong." If you go into battle to kill the enemy, you will naturally wait for your brothers, but this matter is peace, and there must be many matters that need to be decided at the critical level, and only for brothers is the most suitable. As for the danger ......"

He glanced up at Wu Song and said proudly: "Although I am afraid of his water war, but now that there are only two of me, won't he dare to let me go to the island?" Since he has been on the island, hehe, my second brother is invincible in the world, don't say that he has two or three hundred people, that is, two or three thousand people, how can he bear me? ”

He said this sentence "My second brother is invincible in the world", and his eyebrows fluttered, and he was very proud, Wu Song listened to it and was extremely useful, although he didn't want Cao Cao to take risks, but in a word, it was about his itch. Immediately held his head high, reported to the brothers, and said angrily: "Brothers, don't worry, but with Wu relieved, my eldest brother can't hurt a single hair." ”

Niu Gao was a little unconvinced: "Second brother, your ability, the brothers are not unconvinced, but you have never seen it, that guy has a fishing net array, a large net is scattered all over the sky, and the end is unguardable, if you eat him in the net, it is a god, and you have to be helpless." ”

Yan Qing smiled: "Brother Niu, are you stupid?" Don't you know the twelve halberds of Second Brother Wu? Within twenty or thirty steps, useless and unhit, those guys still have to cast their nets? I'm afraid that Fang just raised his hand, and his life has returned to the west. ”

Wu Song laughed: "Yan Xiaoyiduan has good knowledge, and Wu Er also wants to come like this." ”

Li Kui shouted: "Although the second brother is capable, after all, it is not three heads and six arms, it is better to take me with the iron bull, if it is a fight, the second brother will kill the enemy by himself, and the iron bull will protect the elder brother, wouldn't there be no worries?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Brother, it's not that I refuse to take you, it's just that Erlang is already mighty, and if I take you with such an extraordinary man, he will have doubts, if I am stopped outside the island, everything will be over." ”

After some words persuaded everyone, he immediately ordered Han Shizhong to guard the camp, and he and Wu Song found a small boat, so that the two soldiers who knew how to water rocked the oars, and Niu Gao led the way, squeaky and squeak, and entered Taihu Lake from the canal.

At this time, the sky is getting twilight, and a remnant sun spreads out the surface of the lake, illuminating the lakes and hills far and near. Just when a breeze swept across the lake, it shimmered like a lake of broken gold. Cao Cao saw it in his eyes and praised it endlessly, and then he suddenly heard Niu Gao shouting: "Brother, it's that island." ”

Cao Cao retracted his gaze, glanced at the big island in front of him, and told Niu Gao to tread water and return, so that the soldiers who were rocking the oars would go straight to the past.

When they got closer, they heard the sound of a whining snail, and many sturdy men rushed out of the island, jumping straight to the boats, and surrounded Cao Cao's boats on the lake, and those men each held fish darts, bows and arrows, and stared at the two men with fierce gods.

Wu Song stood up, picked up the double halberd, and protected Cao Cao.

Lao Cao's voice did not move, pushed Wu Song away, and smiled and reported his fist: "Brother Wu Zhi and Wu Song in Yanggu County, they have come thousands of miles south to pay a special visit to the four heroes in Taihu Lake, and I hope to show up!" ”

There is a division of teaching: the mountains and rivers are full of joy, and the rivers and lakes are full of excitement. Why do you trespass in the tiger's wolf's den? My second brother is invincible in the world.
