Now Lao Cao's subordinates are full of generals, those who can rush into battle and cut generals, and those who can choose sharp training abound;

If you talk about strategists and Wenchen, there are also Wu Yong, Li Zhu, Zhu Wu, Li Huai, Huang Wenbing, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Pei Xuan, Jiang Jing, Song Jiang, Fang Xuedu, Xiahou Hu, and the newly acquired Lu General, Zu Shiyuan, etc.

However, in detail, these cadres can be roughly divided into three categories, one is like Wu Yong, Lu Jiang and others, who have repeatedly failed in the field and are unwilling to be lonely, so they come to the green forest to stir up the storm;

The second category is Xu Guanzhong, Xiahou Hu and others, although the knowledge is extraordinary, and the talent is also learned, but they are high and proud, wild cranes and idle clouds, if they do not meet heroes such as Lao Cao, they would rather die of old age than go out of office;

The other category is Huang Wenbing, Song Jiang and the like, low-level officials, empty ambitions, difficult to advance an inch, and for various reasons, they are in the rivers and lakes.

You must know that this era is not the same as the end of the Han Dynasty -

At that time, there were many talented families, and there were thousands of servants in the family, which were not inferior to the townships and counties.

What they have seen and heard since childhood is how the elders manage the family's land and business, and deal with all kinds of disputes.

The scholars of the Song Dynasty did not have such an environment, like the people under Lao Cao, there was no shortage of amazing talents, but the intelligence was excellent, and the herdsmen's experience could not be born out of thin air.

Lao Cao is not Liangshan at this time, there are Qingzhou, Laizhou, Weizhou, Zizhou, Mizhou, Dengzhou, Qizhou, Gaotang Prefecture a total of eight state foundations, but there is only one Gaotang Prefecture prefect Huang Wenbing who can really talk about the governance of herdsmen.

Fortunately, the rule of officials in the Song Dynasty is not extremely bad, although the officials are also corrupt, as long as they are not as vicious as Zhu Mian, in most places, the people still have to live.

Lao Cao Guan history, in the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 100,000 cities in the world, about 17, and the Song Dynasty at this time there were 52, although the territory is not as vast as the Tang Dynasty, the population is nearly doubled, and the cultivated land is also a lot more.

If we talk about the yield per mu, the average yield per mu in the Tang Dynasty is one and a half stones, but the Song Dynasty has two stones, and as for commerce, it is even more unreasonable.

It is precisely because of this that under the rule of Lao Cao, he used the Tongque merchant as a medium to make friends with the big and powerful people from all over the country, and to gather money and food to train the troops, and then used this to lay out the officialdom and control it remotely.

There are corrupt officials who abuse the people excessively and refuse to cooperate, so they send people to kill them, and this two-pronged approach has led to today's situation.

But according to this, it can only be described as a "yin basis", although it is okay now, if one day it is really against the court, I am afraid that it is a holy decree, and the rule will be in chaos. Therefore, the next step is to turn the situation upside down and turn the yin into the real one.

Therefore, Xu Churen, an experienced herdsman official, how could Cao Cao be willing to lose it?

It's just that these characters have been eating Song Feng for a long time, and Cao Cao refuses to really have a heart-to-heart with him, so he half-truths and half-falsehoods, and fabricates a set of words-

He made a statement about the imperial court's desire to form an alliance with the Jin State to attack Liao, and said that he personally sent the Jin State to the Jin State, and his lord was eloquent and strategic, working hard from top to bottom, not only with the intention of swallowing Liao, but also with the intention of destroying the Song Dynasty, so the day of the collapse of the Liao State was the time when the Great Song Dynasty sounded the death knell.

This remark is not surprising, there are many old people in the DPRK and China who are unwilling to form an alliance with the Jin State to destroy the Liao, otherwise Tong Guan has been arranging this matter for many years, why has he never advanced it on the surface? It's because there's too much resistance.

Lao Cao personally went to the Jin Kingdom, and when he held this theory, it was naturally particularly convincing.

After hearing this, Xu Churen pointed to the sky and scolded loudly, and was heartbroken, saying that the official family did not accept loyalty, and Tong Guan was greedy and misled the country.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to say that he had always had the heart to serve the country and wanted to save the heavens, so he wanted to gather the strength of the states in Shandong to store money and grain, so as to wait for the next war, report to the Son of Heaven, and go down to Lishu, but his own family is only a military general, and it is inconvenient for the herdsmen.

When Xu Churen heard this, he drenched Tong Guan's scolding more and more, saying that he had framed himself, otherwise he would have to go to the official's house to learn about this, and begged to be transferred to the governor of Shandong and Hebei to help Lao Cao, but now he has become a substitute, so he has to be suspended.

Lao Cao took out a dignified attitude, saying that there is nothing that cannot be done in the world, only people who are reluctant to throw away, if they are willing to throw away their reputation and even their lives, what can they not do?

Xu Churen listened to the blood stirred, thinking that he had been at odds with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others for a long time, and was suppressed countless times by him, and now he was framed again, that is, he was exonerated from the crime, and most of them also had to be killed, it was better to be a fugitive, if what he planned by Lao Cao came to fruition, were he afraid that he would not be able to wash away today's sins?

said at the moment, his own naming can be abandoned, but he doesn't know how to act.

The two talked for a long time, and Lao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he finally took the bait: "If you get Brother Ren to help me and help me, Brother Ren can go to Qingzhou with me, first inspect the terroir of Shandong, and then determine the policy of the herdsmen. ”

Xu Churen asked, "If he refuses, what will you do?" ”

Lao Cao said with a smile: "Brother Ren, I have recruited a number of brave generals this time, if anyone refuses to listen to Brother Ren's orders for their own selfish desires, these brave generals are afraid that they will inevitably be difficult to change their thief nature, and they will kill the official and escape." ”

Xu Churen was shocked when he heard his cruel methods, and he gritted his teeth at random and said: "That's it, those who become big things are not informal, and the virtuous brother saved me twice, and his kindness is deep and cannot be repaid." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, took Xu Churen's hand, and stroked it affectionately: "With my brother's help, it is not a blessing for me, but a blessing for the world." ”

At that moment, he summoned the poet and the poet, and asked them to lead fifty people, and secretly escorted Xu Churen to Qingzhou from another way, Xu Churen only said that this was a confidential act, and he also obeyed, and wrote a letter by himself, so that Lao Cao could help send it to his hometown in Henan, so as not to worry about his family.

Lao Cao agreed, sent him away, and sent the letter to Dai Zong: "Brother, you have worked hard, and with Wu Xuexue as a companion, go to Henan Yingtianfu for a while." ”

When Wu Yong heard that he was asked to go, he immediately smiled and said: "Little brother is going, and he should return to Qingzhou with the Xu family." ”

Lao Cao knew that he was ruthless and vicious, afraid of self-defeating, so he specially advised: "There is no need to use other means, just say that Tong Guan is this person, his mind is vicious, and he is the most desperate to do things, he wants to be embarrassed by my brother Xu, and now that he has escaped from Brother Xu, he will inevitably find trouble with his family, it is advisable to move to reunion as soon as possible, if there is a loss, I will make up for it." ”

Wu Yong nodded and said, "Brother don't worry, if he really refuses to come, I won't force it, just come back to negotiate with my brother." ”

Lao Cao saw that he understood, so he was relieved, and then the two tied up the armor horse and went to do the divine practice.

Cao Cao led the troops back to the north, slept in the open air, not to one day, on May 15, to Deliang Mountain.

At this time, Fang Qifo and other groups of people who took the waterway, it had been a few days, Chao Gai knew that Lao Cao's return was not far away, and he had already scattered the exploration horse more than 100 miles away, and he heard the news, and he was overjoyed, and he led the leader of the mountain, and he went out of the water to meet him for twenty miles, and saw that there were many heroes of the southern country, and his mouth could not close with a smile.

At the moment, in the Juyi Hall, the delicacies of the mountains and seas were set up, and the soldiers and generals at the bottom also scattered the wine and meat.

Cao Cao introduced the old and new brothers to each other as usual, and Wang Yin, Shi Bao and others were also amazed when they saw that the soldiers on Liangshan were strong and strong, and there were countless heroes.

During the banquet, Lao Cao talked about the Southern Expedition again, and heard the envy of everyone in Liangshan, and Fang Jie got up and helped him to thank Tang Bin and thank him for his kindness for thousands of miles.

Tang Bin's body had already recovered at this time, so why was he still willing to be worshiped by him? At the moment, Lao Cao came to relieve the siege: "Each other is brothers, today he will save you, tomorrow you will save him, don't be stubborn, when you are in good health, please drink Brother Tang." ”

Except for a few wounded that day, the rest were drunk.

Chao Gai set up a table, one day is naturally not enough.

The next day, the day after tomorrow...... A big banquet is set up every day, showing the generosity and heroism of the northern heroes, according to Chao Gai, if you don't eat enough wine for a month, how can you see the great joy of Liangshan Tianding imports?

Fang Qifo and the others were secretly speechless, no wonder this Tuota Heavenly King was as famous as the Holy Father, just looking at the style of this banquet, it showed a heroic spirit.

On May 20th, the heroes on both sides of the north and south, all of them were familiar, Guan Sheng heard that Shi Bao's knife technique was sharp, and he asked for a competition, Shi Bao had already had this intention, and he was determined to show his ability in front of people, and the two got up during the banquet, each put on his armor and got on the horse, and fought in front of the hall.

Who doesn't like to watch martial arts competitions? rushed out, holding a wine jug to watch, only to see two big buckets of more than 70 together, no matter up and down.

The two of them have knife skills, both of which attack more and defend less, and the fight is also sinister and abnormal, as evidenced by poetry-

The sassy wind rises and the tiger is flying, and the yellow knife method is passed on:

It is as handsome as Jingzhou yesterday, and it is really like the Hou of Guannei back then.

From the fire splitting the wind and breaking the sea mountain, the green dragon and the moon are in spring and autumn.

If it weren't for the Liangshan Mountain, it was suspected that the Changsha War was still unfinished!

After fighting for more than ten times, the longer Guan Sheng's spirit grew, although Shi Bao did not show defeat, his face was iron-blue, Cao Cao saw that his right hand was hooked and hooked, and he wanted to touch the flying hammer several times, afraid that the two of them would hit the real fire, so he hurriedly made Lin Chong separate.

Lin Chong didn't put on armor, he put on his horse and entered the formation, the snake spear stood out, making a move "one shot and two scattered", swinging the two big knives left and right, the two were slightly stunned, Shi Bao took the lead in arching his hand: "Brother Guan's knife technique, rare in the world!" Shi admired it so much! ”

Guan Sheng hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Shi Shuai's knife technique, not under Guan, you should ask Shi Shuai for advice in the future." ”

The two of them sympathized with each other, and Wen Da sighed: "But one generation is stronger than the next, there is more of this big knife on Liangshan, and the nickname of Wen is more and more difficult to match." ”

But seeing the two of them fighting fiercely, he thought that his knife skills may not be inferior to Shi Bao, but Shi Baofang is in his twenties, and if he talks about long strength, he is probably inferior, so he sighed.

Although Shi Bao was arrogant, he didn't dare to say anything big at this moment, but he only smiled: "Hearing that the general has a big sword, the power shocks Hebei, and the Khitan people are also afraid, and the younger brother is a junior, and he still needs to be taught by the general." ”

Wen Da saw that he gave enough face, he laughed, stepped forward immediately, pulled Guan Sheng with his left hand, pulled Shi Bao with his right hand, and the three of them talked about knife techniques together, and they were even deed.

Here, Wang Yin saw Lin Chong out of the spear sharply, saw that the hunting heart was happy, stepped forward to ask for battle, Lin Chong smiled: "Lin Mou was learning martial arts, and he had also heard of the prestige of the 'jade-faced spear god'. ”

Cao Cao knew that these two were still cautious, and he didn't stop drinking, so he let his two spears go back and forth, each showing his genius, and fighting until more than 140 times, Wang Yin was timid.

Seeing this, Lin Chong moved the spear a little slowly, and wanted to let him get a few more times, Wang Yin immediately noticed it, stopped and admitted defeat, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Your Excellency is skilled in martial arts, but it's just a matter of returning, this kind of heart is a person, so that Wang is heartily convinced." ”

Lin Chong smiled modestly: "The seniors have been in a hurry for days, and their strength has not been sufficient, so why worry about it." ”

The two entered the hall hand in hand, and they were close to each other.

Fang Qifo was shocked when he saw that he had lost Wang Yin, and he got up and said with a smile: "I have heard the prestige of 'Leopard Head' for a long time, but when I see it today, it is even better than the rumors!" Tomorrow, Fang also wants to ask for advice or two, I don't know if it's okay. ”

Before Lin Chong could answer, Du Yi preemptively said: "Seven Buddhas, you only have Lin Jiaotou in your eyes, and there is no old Du in me." If you want to compete with Du, you don't have to wait until tomorrow. ”

Fang Qifo laughed and said: "'Sai Zhang Fei' is powerful in Huaixi, and the Seven Buddhas have admired it for a long time, since this is the case, the two of me will fight together, and I will ask the head of the Lin sect tomorrow." ”

Du Bai was overjoyed, he obeyed Lao Cao's orders, and made the position of Qingzhou regimental training envoy, he has always been less in Liangshan, but he often envied Liangshan's 'Ten Divine Generals' ranking, and secretly thought: This Fang Qi Buddha is the first good man under Fang La, and his brother will definitely not let him be an official, most of them are left in Liangshan, with his ability, he will inevitably be among the gods, although I don't know whether to add people, or replace, but if I defeat him, the brothers also know that my old Du is enough to sit on the throne of gods.

The two of them each hung on their horses, a green dragon halberd, a zhang eight spears, each holding their hands, saying the word "please" to each other, and then they started fighting.

The number of fights was combined, and both sides were surprised.

Fang Qifo's ability, needless to say, at the beginning, Wang Yu, Wang Yuan, and Wang De, the three fierce generals came out, and they never fought him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has reached the peak.

Du Yan didn't give it for nothing, just in terms of immediate kung fu, he was also the first good man in Huaixi that year, Lu Junyi fought with him several times, if it wasn't for Xu Guanzhong's attack, how could he hold him?

They saw that their opponents were extraordinary, and they didn't dare to leave their hands at all, and they all showed their life's arts, and everyone couldn't help but cheer when they saw the highlights.

There is also a poem as proof -

The war horses kicked and trampled in the dust, and the heroes fought each other.

Coercive Huaiyou Wushuangshi, the first person in Wuzhen Jiangnan.

The white tiger is full of sharp eyes, and the green dragon roars around the body.

The spear comes to the halberd to turn the thunder and lightning, just like the Buddha fighting ghosts and gods.

These two also fought more than 100 times, and Fang Qifo suddenly became competitive: Shi Baoping is flat, Wang Yin is losing, and the rest of the brothers are no longer able to defeat these two, if I lose or draw, I will eventually be compared to Liangshan. It's okay to compare it to this, but I'm afraid that there are such snobbers on his mountain, and I can't afford to teach people, isn't it just burying hidden dangers in vain?

There was a roar at the moment, but it was the magic skill of urging the movement of the universe, squeezing out the potential of the body, and the halberd in his hand was suddenly a few minutes faster.

At this point, both of them have been sweating profusely, if it is common sense, so many rounds have not been divided into winners and losers, proving that the two martial arts are extremely close, and then compared, the comparison is who has more strength, and when the physical strength is not good, the subtlety of the strength of the tricks.

Like the Seven Buddhas of Fang fought for more than 100 times and suddenly strengthened, Du Yan was unheard of, and immediately saw the chaos of the move, and tried his best to parry more than ten times, seeing that he was about to be defeated, he shouted: "That's it, the Seven Buddhas are really extravagant!" ”

Fang Qifo smiled: "I agreed." ”

Du Yan looked down at the snake spear, and then looked at Fang Qifo blankly, his face dazed: "How can this be?" ”

Lu Junyi's heart was shocked, and there was coldness on his bodhisattva-like face: Ah, Du Yan's ability, even if it is different from me, it is still a millimeter, how can he eat Fang Qi Buddha and defeat like this? Am I not inferior to him in this way?

Don't say that Lu Junyi, for a while, even Wu Song, Lin Chong, and even Guan Sheng, Bian Xiang, Han Wu, Hu Yanzhuo, etc., all changed color.

Fang Baihua took the opportunity to bite her ear and said to Lao Lu: "Idiot! How do you claim to be the first of the Seven Buddhas of the Ming Sect? He has a secret method of running qi, if you learn it, you will not weaken him! Do you want to learn? As long as you're willing to use that pose tonight, I'll consider teaching you ......"

The laughter gradually faded away, and Lu Junyi turned his head to look at Baihua, his eyes full of struggle.

Fang Qifo saw everyone's expressions, knew that Liwei was successful, smiled modestly, closed his eyes and breathed for a long time, then opened his eyes and hugged his fists and said: "Brothers, don't be confused, if you talk about martial arts, there are all strong people in the brothers present, but this sect Wang Gong Lao Buddha has created a set of extremely clever luck exercises, and passed on the Holy Father and the Seven Buddhas, which can stimulate their own potential, and if they practice to a high depth, they can even pull and move the opponent's strength at will......"

Saying that, he sighed: "However, the creation of this skill is not yet complete, and there are many troubles after squeezing potential, one of them...... It is not good for the heirs, the two are detrimental to life, before the war child, the seven Buddhas had to be used twice, if it is not for the adjustment of the divine doctor, I am afraid that the internal injury will be difficult to heal. ”

After hearing this, everyone looked at An Daoquan, and An Daoquan nodded solemnly, obviously what Fang Qifo said was true.

Everyone felt sorry when they heard it, this kind of kung fu is enough to turn the tide at a critical time, if it is only detrimental to life, it doesn't matter, but it is not good for the heirs, and it is inevitably prohibitive.

What's more, listening to this meaning, it is clearly someone's town religion magic skill, and I am afraid that it will not be passed on lightly.

However, Fang Qifo said the secrets of his martial arts so frankly, obviously treating everyone as his own brothers, and everyone couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and even looked down on everyone in the Ming Sect.

Lu Junyi listened to him seriously, suddenly stunned, looked at Fang Baihua, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you and I are not young, we need a lot...... That, can you give birth to a child as soon as possible, since this kung fu is not good for the heir, how can you still teach me? ”

Fang Baihua chuckled, her eyes were like silk: "Except for Wang Gong Lao Buddha, my eldest brother, and the Seven Buddhas, there is no fourth kung fu meeting, I said that I would consider teaching you, but I wouldn't, so after thinking about it, I can only not teach you." ”

Lu Junyi suddenly became angry: "Then aren't you lying to me?" ”

Fang Baihua glared: "What's the matter with lying to you?" Who told you to be disobedient and refuse to try that position? No way! Since you have seen through it, you don't have to wait for tonight, come with the old lady......" jumped up and grabbed Lu Junyi and forcibly escorted him away.

Fortunately, most of the people surrounded Fang Qifo, only Duan Sanniang noticed this scene, seeing that the two of them were so in love, showing a look of envy, he immediately went to see Han Wu, but after a glance, Han Wu was not present, and after a closer look, he was really not there.

Duan Sanniang suddenly became angry: Han Wu is not here, maybe he went to pee, and that's fine, but Liang Hongyu is not there either, how can she bear it?

is the so-called: Glaive splitting wind knife to knife, Lin Chong Wang Yin beckoned. The Seven Buddhas are generous and moving, and the masters meet even higher.
