On the tenth day of September, Cao Cao's soldiers arrived in Jizhou.

The guard of the West Gate, it was Zhang Shun, who saw Cao Cao's troops from a distance, hurriedly went down to the city, pulled a horse and jumped on it, and galloped to meet him.

Cao Cao smiled: "My own brother, why do you bother to talk about this false courtesy? ”

Zhang Shun hurriedly said: "Brother, the younger brother is here to tell you something." ”

Let's talk about yesterday's victory over the Liao army: rescued Li Ying in prison, beheaded the enemy's main general, Wenda led the army to win a victory, beheaded more than 2,000 people, captured more than 1,000 prisoners, and the rest were all scattered.

also said that Li Jun exchanged Khitan heads for money and food, but he was afraid that Lao Cao would blame him, so he only said, "I will wait for the brothers to discuss", without mentioning that it was Li Jun's own idea-

"At the beginning, there were few people, most of them were the city fox society rats and the like, and then the news of the defeat of the Liao army spread, since last night to the present, thousands of people have come to exchange money and food, and now the city is in chaos, the Khitan rich people gather to protect themselves, and there are also groups of people who go to the street to kill the Han'er, Li Jun's brother ignores it, and only orders the brothers to put the big treasury and the city gate."

"It was also Li Jun who asked the younger brother to be here, and waited for the elder brother on a special trip, asking the elder brother to foretell him about this matter before entering the city, and then make a decision."

Cao Cao listened to him quietly, first a little stunned, then silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "This plan is not a superior strategy...... But Brother Li Jun's intentions are really good. ”

With his wisdom, although Zhang Shun deliberately concealed it, the sentence "Li Jun asked the younger brother to wait for the elder brother" has already seen the clues, and he is also aware of the plot behind it.

Bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and then pondered: "You wait for your brother to follow as a brother, and on the day when a hundred battles are successful, the wealth and glory of this life, and the shadow of your wife and son, needless to say." It's just that it's on top of history, and after all, it should leave a good name......"

Speaking of this, the faster he spoke, the more he obviously made up his mind: "That's it! From this moment on, the soldiers and horses in your Jizhou city are the chrysanthemum army of the Liaodi uprising, Wenda, Zhou Tong and the five hundred elite horsemen are all dialed in, and they have nothing to do with Wu's army! The Chrysanthemum Army takes Li Jun as the commander, Wen Da and Li Ying are the deputies, Li Jun is renamed 'Troubled Sea Dragon' Li Wuving, you Zhang is called 'Turning the Sea Yaksha' Zhang Tiedan, and the rest of the brothers are all pseudonyms......"

Speaking of this, there was a smile on his face again: "Wait for Ling and others to gather men and horses, attack Danzhou in the west, take Ping, Jing, Ying, and Luo in the east, and defend the Great Wall for my brother. When the opportunity comes, you wait for the 'lead to surrender', and then return to your original name, during which all the evil things are done by Li Wushu and Zhang Tiegu, and have nothing to do with Er Zhang Shun and Li Jun. ”

The so-called Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and divided into seven states in front of the mountain, Kyushu in front of the mountain, seven states in front of the mountain, Tan, Shun, You, Ji, Zhuo, Mo, Ying, its land is more plain, north of the Taihang Mountain, the Great Wall, the Kyushu behind the mountain, Xin, Fei, Confucian, Wu, Wei, Yun, Ying, Huan, Shuo, are all in the west of the Taihang Mountains, mostly mountainous.

Among them, when the Northern Expedition of Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Shizong was recovered, Yingzhou was recovered, of which Yingzhou was Hejian Mansion, and now the Liao soldiers went south, Mozhou was lost, and the Song and Liao countries were fighting fiercely in the area of Hejian Mansion.

The north of Kyushu behind the mountain is also the Great Wall, so if you take back the land of the clouds, the Great Wall is continuous, for the country, it is like a courtyard wall, when you are proud, you can open up the territory and expand the territory, and the frustration is enough to ensure that Kyushu is not defective, and the weight of the sixteen states of the clouds lies in this.

As for the four prefectures of Yunping, Jing, Ying, and Luo, since the Tang Dynasty, they have been occupied by the Khitan and Xi people alternately, and their land is within the Great Wall, west of Jizhou, and east of the Bohai Sea, that is, the area from Qinhuangdao to Tangshan in the later generations.

Lao Cao said something, Zhang Shun was stunned for a long time, and then turned the corner - in this way, Li Jun not only avoided bearing the name of the evil official, but also showed his skills, which can be regarded as truly in charge.

couldn't help but be overjoyed, bowed down and said: "Brother has good intentions, I thanked my brother for Li Jun." ”

Lao Cao shook his head and smiled, his heart was in vain, you worked hard to cover it up, thank me for him at this moment, wouldn't it completely expose the bottom?

pulled it up and said: "Li Jun is for me, regardless of his reputation, can I bear to bear his reputation for being a cruel poison and let the ignorant boys of later generations scold him?" Besides, in this way, I am originally an army, but I have two names, and outsiders do not know the truth and truth, and they want to be confused more and more, isn't it wonderful? ”

Zhang Shun nodded again and again: "Yes, this is killing two birds with one stone." ”

Lao Cao laughed and patted Zhang Shun: "Brother, since you act like this, I won't enter Jizhou, you will take care of Li Daguan for me!" And when you act in your own own ways, think a lot, and do not be careless about your enemies. ”

Zhang Shun hurriedly responded.

Lao Cao smiled, led his four thousand five hundred elite horses, bypassed Jizhou, and drove towards Youzhou.

Zhang Shun looked at Cao Cao's army and suddenly patted his head: "Ah, but I forgot to tell my brother that the Khitan royal brother king was killed by a guard named Abu, and the king forcibly occupied his woman, and he was angry and killed him, and now he has turned his head to Cheng, and Brother Li Jun saw that he was not a Khitan, so he made him a partial general in the army......

I was going to chase Lao Cao, but after thinking about it carefully, this matter didn't matter, so I did it, Pegasus returned to the city, and told Li Jun about Lao Cao's arrangements in detail.

When Li Jun heard him, his eyes were already red, and he couldn't help crying: "Ancient and modern people are masters, they can be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and they are already called heroes. ”

Zhang Shun listened to the crowd, and he was also embarrassed and emotional, and his loyalty to Lao Cao went straight to the full score.

Li Jun wiped away a handful of tears, cheered up and said, "Since my brother has allowed me the right to do so, how dare I disappoint him?" General Wen, Li Daguanren, your two martial arts, wisdom, and fame are above the younger brother, but because of the majority of the brothers' naval army, the eldest brother Wu has temporarily unified the younger brother, and there are two deviations, please forgive me. ”

Wen Da and Li Ying glanced at each other, and they both waved their hands and smiled: "Why should 'Mixed River Dragon' be too humble? This matter originally started because of you, since you should be the main one, and our brothers will definitely help you. ”

Li Yingben was rescued by Li Jun, and he knew that his family had never led soldiers, so Lao Cao appointed him to be Li Jun's deputy, and he was already satisfied.

Although Wenda thinks highly of himself, firstly, as Li Jun said, the Chrysanthemum Army is based on the Dengzhou Naval Army, and secondly, since he entered the city, he saw that Li Jun was ruthless, and he couldn't help but be moved.

Li Jun said again: "Since the two brothers are willing to help each other, the first thing now is to start the three words of the Chrysanthemum Army, and act well in the back, Sister-in-law Gu, I will leave this matter to you, go to the city to hire some embroidery girls, and sew hundreds of flags of my Chrysanthemum Army to show your reputation." ”

Sister-in-law Gu nodded in response, and asked again: "Brother, it's not difficult to sew the flag, but it needs a texture on it?" Or is it just embroidered with the three words of the chrysanthemum army? ”

Sun Xin said: "Since you want to make a name, it is naturally inappropriate to embroider words alone, and many people are illiterate. In my opinion, when embroidering a huge chrysanthemum, it is natural to see clearly. ”

Li Junxi said: "Brother Sun Xin is thoughtful, and he really deserves to be a disciple of the general." ”

Sister-in-law Gu was also happy when she heard her husband praise, and said to herself: "In this way, you should first set the embroidery pattern of the chrysanthemum, otherwise you embroider like this, she embroiders like that, but it will be messy." ”

Zhou Tong smiled when he heard this: "What's so difficult about this? If it is other flowers I dare not say, this chrysanthemum I know, it is a wisp of wisps growing on all sides, the most easy to recognize, I just need to find a big asshole, the butt more ink, take a piece of paper to sit, is it not the best embroidery? ”

Everyone was stunned, and Wenda jumped to his feet and scolded: "Fart, fart!" Wen has brought soldiers all his life, old and old, and brought the asshole army, you will kill me, and I don't agree with this ridiculous idea. ”

The rest of the people also laughed and scolded, Zhou Tong touched his head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's just an idea, if you wait for a good one, use your idea - it's just that asshole, it's really like a chrysanthemum." ”

Xie Bao said with a strange face: "Otherwise, how about we change our name?" The little brother suddenly couldn't look directly at these two words. ”

Li Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, walked out of the hall, picked up a beautiful chrysanthemum in the flower garden at the door, pinched it, came back and handed it to Gu's sister-in-law: "And use this as a blueprint, find a good painter, and draw an embroidery pattern accordingly, the flag is in the middle, then embroider this flower, it must be big, and embroider a few words at the bottom......"

He wanted to say that the word Chrysanthemum Army was embroidered, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered the chrysanthemum poem that Le He had mentioned before, and smiled slightly: "I will embroider 'I will kill a hundred flowers when my flowers bloom'!" ”

"Good!" When Wen Da heard this, his face smiled like a chrysanthemum: "This is good, elegant, and mighty, others will know that we are thieves at a glance!" ”

Li Ying also nodded and said: "The flag is so good, it's just that I look at the brothers in the army, and they all wear chrysanthemums in their ears. Since we are called the Chrysanthemum Army, the chrysanthemums are mainly yellow, it is better to find some yellow cloth and wrap the hair, one should be the name of our army, and the other is neat and beautiful. ”

Everyone applauded when they heard it, and Wenda said with a smile: "The head is wrapped in a yellow scarf cloth, and the flag book chrysanthemum poem, I am waiting for this chrysanthemum army, which can be regarded as a collection of ancient and modern anti-thieves." ”

At the same time, on the road from Jizhou to Youzhou, Lao Cao led thousands of people to ride horses slowly, and occasionally chatted with his brothers.

Li Jun became the vanguard and became the boss of one party, and all the generals were envious, and when they heard Lao Cao talk about his methods, they were all impressed, and they couldn't stop talking along the way.

But Guan Sheng smiled and said: "Brother, his army is called a Chrysanthemum Army, and we naturally have to have a name, so it is better to think about it in advance, so as not to have temporary setbacks." ”

Hu Sanniang nodded again and again after hearing this, and said with a straight face: "Brother Guan is right, the commander of our army, the military officer, is the most fond of flowers and fragrance, so we are called the Hundred Flowers Army, but it is bigger than the Chrysanthemum Army." ”

When the generals saw their sister-in-law teasing their eldest brother, they all bowed their heads and snickered, but Lao Cao was a cheeky person, and laughed: "General Hu said it very well!" In this handsome's house, there are only five famous flowers, if you call the Hundred Flowers Army, you still need to make up ninety-five famous flowers, so as not to laugh at this handsome name is not worthy of the name! ”

When Hu Sanniang saw that he had fallen to the army, she immediately blushed angrily: "'Wu Mengde', don't you think that this general's double sword is unfavorable?" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly clenched his fists: "Ah, General Hu's double sword ability is rare in the world, how dare this commander offend?" Ben Shuai's intention is to take this good brother to rob the gold and jewelry shells of the Liao State, and make a crown of flowers to give to the general, so as to take advantage of the color of the general. ”

When the brothers saw him complimenting his wife in public, they couldn't help but gain knowledge, and said secretly: "No wonder my brother married five, and it was also a harmonious faction, Han Wu only got two, and he was already beaten with chickens and eggs, but the trick was here!" ”

There are such bold and thick-skinned people, such as Shi Bao and Du Bao, who shouted one after another: "Since my brother has this heart, our brothers will take all the treasures of the Liao Kingdom and make a crown of flowers that is unparalleled in the world and unprecedented." ”

Hu Sanniang was ashamed, only then did she know that she didn't care about inside or outside the room, and she was not the opponent of this Cao thief, so she said "oops" and rode away.

Lin Chong looked at Lao Cao enviously and said with a smile: "Brother's amorous means are really unequaled in the United States, if I had my brother's means back then......"

He wanted to say that if I had this means, my lady would be much happier, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered the past between husband and wife, and he lost his mind for a while.

Lao Cao saw that his expression suddenly turned lonely, and knew that he remembered the sad thing again, sighed, took Lin Chong's hand, held it in his own hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lin, the past is gone, and leaving this lingering fragrance in my heart is enough to comfort the wind and frost of my life." ”

He shook him in the hand and said, "My brother-in-law, who has a spirit in heaven, will want you to be happy always." Brother, you are also a man in his thirties, this time the battle is just a battle, for your brother to say a family for you, but you don't want to blindly refuse, one, lest my brother and wife be uneasy, and the other is your martial arts, enough to open a sect, and how can no one inherit it? ”

Lin Chong wanted to say no, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Lao Cao's eyes were full of concern, worry, and expectation, and his heart suddenly warmed, and he choked up: "Little brother...... Listen to my brother's orders. ”

Among the heroes, those who knew Lin Chongjiu all showed a look of surprise, and Guan Sheng said happily: "If Brother Lin can let go of his knot, it is really something worth rejoicing, even Guan Mou, and he also feels happy." ”

Hu Yanzhuo teased: "You are naturally happy, when Sect Leader Lin has a son, your son can also learn knives from you with peace of mind, yes or no?" ”

Cao Cao listened to it strangely, and only when he asked did he know that Guan Sheng had a young son, called Guan Ling, although he was young, he was very talented in learning martial arts, all kinds of tricks, he would be able to teach, and he would be fine when he practiced, Guan Sheng was very proud, and often boasted that there were successors to his family's sword skills.

However, this son doesn't know how, and Lin Chong is very close to each other, his two families live close to Liangshan, this little Guan Ling moves a small bench every day, sits in front of Lin Chong's door, and waits hard for him to return from training, and he will not let go when he goes up to hold his legs, but he is more affectionate than seeing his own Lao Tzu.

refused to practice the knife with peace of mind, pestering Lin Chong to teach him marksmanship, although Guan Sheng liked his son to learn one more stunt, but he was a little jealous from time to time.

When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed, pointed at Guan Sheng and said, "Do you know why my son is intimate with others?" Just because you love to learn from your ancestors, you read the Spring and Autumn Festival with a straight face every day, and you must be strict with children, but Brother Lin is a gentle and benevolent person, how can children not like him? ”

When Guan Sheng heard this, he immediately thought about it, and thought about it carefully, although he loved his son very much, but the father and son got along, and it was really a lesson.

Hua Rong listened to the lively conversation here, and rode up and said with a smile: "Brother Wu is right, Lin Jiaotou is encouraging to that little Guan Ling, you father, but you are either beating or scolding, don't say that he is a son, that is, he raises a puppy, and he also wants to be close to Brother Lin - but in addition, there is another reason, but it is more critical." ”

Guan Shengqi said: "What is that?" ”

Hua Rong raised his face and said proudly: "Jun with a gun!" Look at Zhao Zilong, look at Jiang Wei, look at Luo Cheng, look at Lin Jiaotou, look at Xu Ning, and then look at me! Those who use big knives are reckless, and how can children be reckless? ”

When Tang Bin and Xu Ning heard this, they nodded their heads and said: "Brother Hua Rong's words sound simple, but in fact, there is a reason in it!" Teacher Shi, what do you think? ”

Sven smiled forgedly: "Sure enough! And not only with a gun, but also with a halberd, you are like Lu Bu, Tai Shici, Xue Rengui, Guo Ziyi, Wu Erlang, Fang Qifo, me! ”

Hua Rong immediately leaned out and stretched out his hand to shake him: "The teacher's words couldn't be more true, the guns and halberds are all used by handsome and romantic people, the teacher is nicknamed 'Magic Spear', and he prefers halberds, and he is the best among them." ”

Hua Rong has always been steady, and it is rare to see him joking at this moment, and Shi Wengong can't help laughing.

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to interject easily when the bigwigs spoke, but they also straightened their chests at the same time, revealing a smug look.

As soon as you say a word, Guan Sheng's nose was so angry that he pointed at Lin Chong and said, "I won't say anything else, Lin Jiaotou is now using a snake spear, and Xu Ning is also using a hook and sickle gun." ”

Shi Wengong smiled faintly: "The snake spear and the hook and sickle spear are also the genus of spears, isn't the three-pointed two-edged knife a knife?" ”

Du Yan grinned and said, "The head of the sect is right. ”

Shi Bao couldn't help it for a long time, and laughed when he heard this: "Yes, yes, Du Jun who makes the gun!" Look at Brother Du Yan, he can be used as a model. ”

Hua Rong and Xu Ning both looked at Du Yan, Hua Rong said with a bitter face: "Otherwise, the snake spear should not be counted as a gun, right?" ”

When Du Bai heard this, his face was full of grief and indignation, Shi Bao laughed, and went to grab Du Bai and said: "Old Du, I advise you not to get together with these little white faces, my husband is to be majestic to see his true colors, you might as well turn to the big knife, Li Shuai, you say right?" ”

Li Tianyan smiled faintly: "I can use both swords and guns, handsome and mighty, and complement each other." ”

Shi Bao was about to scold him for being shameless, Hu Yanzhuo suddenly shouted: "What are the swords and guns, now there are ten generals, five are guns, and four are swords......" turned his head and glanced at Qin Ming: "There is also a mace, it's just vulgar, if you want me to say, a real husband, you should use a double whip!" ”

Qin Ming rolled his eyes: "I didn't want to speak, if you say this, Qin Mou wants to say something, only the mace is really a good man, you just underestimate me Qin Ming, and watch Duan Sanniang speak!" ”

For a while, everyone was arguing endlessly, Cao Cao stopped everyone, and said with a smile: "You are not rigorous in your speech, you can boast about whatever you want, what results can you quarrel with?" Among my brothers, there is a truly honest man who refuses to lie in his life, and if you want to distinguish the superior and only consult him, what kind of weapon is the most powerful and beautiful. ”

When the heroes heard this, some of them shouted, "Who is this brother?" Some of them understood, and said with a smile: "My brother said it well, and let Jiao Ting say it." ”

Everyone looked at Jiao Ting in unison: "Oops! 'Faceless' Jiao Ting, sure enough, he is one of the best straight people in the world! Brother Jiao Ting, what kind of weapon is the most powerful and beautiful? ”

Jiao Ting kept looking at the clouds in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses until this moment, slowly looking at everyone, with an expressionless face: "You ask me?" Or will you obey me when I say it? ”

Everyone said: "If you open your mouth, you will tell the truth, who dares to disagree?" ”

Jiao Ting listened, smiled slightly, took out the iron double knife on his waist, and said undoubtedly: "If the weapons in the world are the most powerful and beautiful, they are naturally the two swords. ”

When the brothers heard this, they exploded, and Shi Bao shouted: "I said, where is the real straight person in this world? ”

Jiao Ting remained silent, suddenly turned his head, straightened his voice and shouted: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! ”

The heroes closed their voices in unison, and they were stunned one by one.

Within a moment, Hu Sanniang came on a flying horse: "Brother Jiao Ting, what are you calling me for?" ”

Jiao Ting said slowly; "Sister-in-law, junior brother wants to ask you, which is the most powerful and beautiful weapon in this world?"

Hu Sanniang did not hesitate, slapped the scabbard, and said as a matter of course: "Of course it is a double knife!" What else could there be? ”

Jiao Ting nodded and looked at everyone: "What do you say, brothers?" ”

Hu Sanniang's beautiful eyes flowed, and she also looked at everyone curiously.

Everyone said in unison: "Double knives!" ”

Hu Sanniang was happy, and said with a smile: "Jiao Ting, you stupid brother, sister-in-law can't lie to you?" ”

Everyone was stunned and said: "Jiao Ting is actually not stupid, but we are stupid." ”

Hu Sanniang looked at them puzzled, and without delving into it, she turned to Lao Cao and said with a smile: "Marshal, the last general just rode his horse and galloped, and suddenly thought of what our army should be called." ”

Cao Cao Qi said: "What? ”

"Zephyr!" Hu Sanniang grinned: "As soon as the west wind comes, the chrysanthemums will bloom, we are the mother of the Chrysanthemum Army, so naturally we should be called the west wind." ”

Cao Cao recited it silently twice, nodded and smiled: "Wonderful! Our army is called the Zephyr Army!

There is a teaching: the west wind rises all over the sky, and the chrysanthemum is fragrant all over the ground. Brother accompanies me, why not say goodbye to the old streamer!
