"Brother, do you know that there is a birdman in the Xijing army, named 'Luo E'?" Ma Ling suddenly asked.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's not Zhang Bangchang's favorite general, what is the nickname 'crocodile tyrant'?" Oh, isn't the crux of the problem in this person? ”

Ma Ling stomped his feet and sighed, "Alas! This Luo E, he was originally a military attache in Lingnan, because he killed the boss of a crocodile, he became famous for a while, Cai Jing heard about it, and told the old official's family as an interesting story, the old official's family was a frivolous, so he ordered Luo E to enter Beijing, personally gave him the nickname of 'crocodile ba', and stayed in Bianjing to be the guard of Lijingmen. ”

Lao Cao was stunned and said: "In this way, his master is Cai Jing, and the benefactor is Zhao Ji, oh, Zhang Bangchang took the wrong medicine?" How do you think of him as a confidant? ”

Zhang Bofen suddenly spoke: "Scared? Is this guy Cai Jing's doorman? Wu Shuai, listen to my advice, when my father Zhang Shuye, was impeached by Cai Jing and lost his office, and lived in Beijing, my two brothers were not angry, and they were going to beat Cai's mansion to relieve their anger, passing through Lijingmen, but it was this person who persuaded him with good words, saying that Cai Jing was in a high position, and this move was even more unfavorable to my father. ”

Zhang Zhongxiong continued: "That day, the Liao army entered the city, that is, this Luo E reacted quickly, and hurriedly closed the gate of the inner city, but the inner city had few soldiers and could not be guarded, my father persuaded them to retreat to the imperial city, and it was also Luo E who was in charge, leading the nine generals of the inner city to retreat into the imperial city, and everyone worked hard for many days, and the rest of the generals were all killed in battle, and the soldiers were also half broken, so they were helpless, and let Zhang Bangchang go to negotiate with the Liao people, saying that when they didn't let us go, they burned the imperial city and scattered in two, so the Liao army let us go out of the city. ”

Zhang Bofen shed tears and said: "Poor my father fought hard for days, he fell ill when he came out, and it was easy to get to Zhenjiang, the old faint king arrested him and put him in prison, and died in a few days, my brother was sad and hateful, this Zhang Bangchang rushed to say that my brother was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, since the emperor had no way, and went to Luoyang to protect the small official's house with him, so he went to Luoyang." ”

Zhang Zhongxiong also said: "Luo E didn't know how to get the news, and rushed to say that he wanted to go with him, Zhang Bangchang said that he was Zhao Yun, so he went to Luoyang, and later the two of us entered the Wushuai tent, and still left him in the Prime Minister's Mansion to listen to it." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "I understand, at the beginning, Zhang Bangchang was not serious in Zhenjiang, and he angrily voted for the new emperor and became the prime minister, most of which was to take the merits of your Zhang family's father and son in the bloody war as his own, for fear of being leaked by you, so he wanted to recommend him to me." As for Luo E, he probably concealed the roots, so that Zhang Bangchang felt that he could control it, but he didn't expect that people were not all the way with him, or they came to Luoyang, and most of them were instructed by Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and others, and did it intentionally. ”

Shaking his head and sighing: "Zhang Bangchang doesn't know people clearly, and he doesn't need to be such a kind man as the two brothers, and prefers to use those of unknown origin, which shows that his talent is limited, isn't it exactly: there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves?" ”

Ma Ling slapped his hand: "Brother really sees thousands of miles!" This incident happened, and it was exactly as my brother said. The old emperor's favorite prince is the third Zhao Kai, who asked Kui Xiangyang to go to Luoyang, took Zhao Kai's family away, and forced the little emperor to write a guilty edict on the grounds of losing Bianjing. At the same time, the surnamed Kui also privately contacted the Nine Emperor Princes, Zhao Gou and this Luo E, and asked them to wait for an opportunity to get things done. ”

Cao Cao applauded and smiled: "When I sent troops, how could Zhao Xiaojiu take the initiative so much to take charge of the city defense affairs, but he was waiting here!" The little emperor also guarded against him, so that Zhang Bangchang was the second, but unexpectedly, Zhang Bangchang's favorite general was originally a pawn of others. ”

Ma Ling nodded: "That's right!" The elder brother hit Zhengzhou and attacked Bianliang, so he made trouble together, Luo E personally stabbed Zhang Bangchang to death, and together with Zhao Gou, he made a mess, coerced the little emperor and other princes and concubines, and rushed to Zhenjiang. ”

Everyone listened to his royal infighting, and their expressions were surprised, as if they were listening to a commentary.

Liu Yanqing frowned and said: "In this way, the new emperor has issued an edict of guilt, and the emperor has soldiers and horses in his hands, and now he has moved to Jinling, but I am afraid that he is really going to move the capital and restore it." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, his smile full of joy.

Everyone wondered: "Why is my brother laughing? ”

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and laughed: "I only laugh at Zhao Ji Wumou and Cai Jing Shaozhi, now the Zhao family is in the world, and in an eventful autumn, he still dares to take power like this, and he really treats the heroes of the world as grass and trees." Hahahaha, he Zhao inherited the Nine Emperors, enjoyed the country for 160 years, although Zhao Ji's evil politics are frequent, after all, the people's hearts have not dispersed, I want to replace Zhao, it is inevitable to speak, but now he has given his own handle, isn't it the favor of heaven? ”

Everyone was thrilled to hear it, and they couldn't help but boil their blood, and suddenly heard Lao Cao shouting: "Where is my brother's time!" ”

Shi Qian came out in response, shaking his spirits, and his small chest stood tall: "Brother! Brother is here! ”

Cao Cao groaned: "Brother! I want you to do a big thing to change the world, I don't know if you dare! ”

When Shi Qian heard this, the blood in his cavity boiled, and he shouted, "Why did my brother say this? Since the younger brother has followed his brother, although his ability is slight, but what the elder brother pointed to in the flag, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, has the younger brother ever taken a step back? ”

Cao Cao looked at him for a moment, only to see Shi Qian's face full of resoluteness, that somewhat funny appearance, clearly solemn as iron, and couldn't help nodding: "Good brother!" But it was a gaffe for my brother. It's just that this one thing, if there is a slight mistake, it is the result of a thousand cuts, and my brother hesitates. ”

Shi Qian stepped forward, raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha!" Brother, younger brother, a thief who wanders the rivers and lakes and is scolded by everyone, wants to see the scenery above the nine heavens from the real dragon, how can he not risk death? Brother, there is a saying that 'when you are born to eat and die to be a marquis, a man will be rewarded with ambition in his life!' But it is beneficial to the elder brother, that is, a thousand cuts, and the younger brother is also willing! ”

Lu Junyi, Yuan Lang, Mu Hong, Zhang Jun and others, seeing his small body and majestic momentum, couldn't help but admire, Fang Baihua even shouted: "What a 'flea on the drum', it is really extravagant and generous, some people in the rivers and lakes disobey you, and the old lady and the boss slapped him in the mouth!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, only Niu Gao and Li Kui stared at each other with big eyes, and they were shocked: Scared? At this time, move one set at a time, and we want to be three with our poetry and hymns? Plus Li Niangzi four-dimensional side by side?

saw Cao Cao slap his leg and said loudly: "Okay!" Good brother, you have been a brother for a long time, and you have made many meritorious contributions, if this matter is successful, the marquis will not be enough to be rewarded-"

Lao Cao pulled over time, revealing a cunning and sinister look: "You go to Jinling for your brother, go to see Zhao Huan, and say that if you move that guy's mind, you must write an edict to me on a Zen position!" Ming told him that if Kenchan gave up the throne, he would ensure his peace and wealth for his brother, and he would be a happy and happy king! Otherwise, hum, the day of his father's restoration will be the death of his Zhao Huan. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard Lao Cao say this.

Yuan Lang suddenly scratched his head and smiled: "Big brother is so domineering!" People rebelled, but they were just grabbing the throne, and the eldest brother wanted to force the emperor to give up the throne himself. ”

A gleam flashed in Liu Yanqing's eyes, and he suddenly stepped forward and bowed down: "Marshal, this matter, the last general is willing to move the general to do it at any time." ”

Cao Cao looked at him with some surprise: "Oh? Brother Liu, this is a broken business, the time is unparalleled in the sea, if you are careful enough to do this, there is still life, if you go, a little dew, don't you have to die. ”

Liu Yanqing gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Marshal, but I don't hear it: I don't know if I don't gamble? Brother, at my age, I fought with the marshal, how many military exploits can I make? Pity my glorious boy who has broken his leg again—whew! He did not break his legs, and he was not a seed. Therefore, Lao Liu is willing to gamble for his children and grandchildren——"

But when he saw this Lao Liu, he pointed to the sky and shouted: "Let's bet on the chaos in the world, when a real dragon is born, Wu Shuai, you are this real dragon!" The second bet Zhao Huan is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is still alive in the Zen position, otherwise he will die, Liu has also worked with him for a long time, if he is willing to sacrifice his life for the Zhao family, Liu is the first to believe it! Three bets on my old Liu family are full of luck, and they will do this for the marshal, and they will also fight for a blessing for their descendants. ”

After saying that, he looked at Shi Qian: "Brother, your ability is naturally unparalleled, just persuade Zhao Huan to give way, it is not easy, you must know that this edict, he Zhao Huan will be stinking for 10,000 years, this guy is as timid as a mouse, I'm afraid I can't help but think about it?" If you take Lao Liu with you, you will be able to exert some strength. ”

Lao Cao and Shi Qian glanced at each other.

Cao Cao said slowly: "What my brother Liu said is not unreasonable. It's just that this matter must be based on time migration, so whether it is appropriate or not, Brother Shi, you can see for yourself. ”

Shi Qian smiled: "What is there to say? The younger brother's knowledge and eloquence are not enough to be on a par with General Liu, he is willing to take this risk, and he also sees his loyalty to his brother, so I go with him. ”

He said it magnificently, but in fact, he had a pair of eyes, and he knew Cao Cao's intentions: Take him there! One is indeed a helper, and the other is that if it fails, the weight and fame of Liu Yanqing, the general of the Western Army, are not far better than your "fleas on the drum"? With him on his back, wouldn't the chances of escape be greatly increased?

This is exactly what he was pecked by geese all day long, Liu Yanqing was calculating, but he didn't expect Lao Cao Shiqian to move two, and he had already calculated him in the blink of an eye.

After saying this, Lao Cao looked at Zhang Jun, Ling Zhen, Zhang Bofen, and Zhang Zhongxiong, and showed a smile: "A few generals, just heard Wu's words, what do you think?" ”

The four of them glanced at each other, and when Lao Cao Fangcai said the words "I want to represent Zhao", these four were shocked.

Lao Cao is now the king of Wei, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, seizing the clouds, destroying the Western Xia, leveling the remnants of Liao, the illustrious achievements, since the founding of Emperor Taizu, there is no comparable one, and his attitude towards Zhao Huan, as a brother, the heart of the disobedience is obvious, but now he really confides in his ambitions, and several people are still shocked for a while.

Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong glanced at each other, and the two bowed down: "Wu Shuai, my brother fights with you, so unhappy, I am obedient to you in my heart, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is mean and unkind to my father, and we would rather follow you." ”

Cao Cao didn't expect these two fools to understand first, and helped them up with a smile: "Although Uncle Yegong unfortunately passed away, the lintel of the Zhang family has your own brother to lift." Get up and call me brother from now on. ”

Ling Zhen also worshipped: "The younger brother is willing to listen to his brother's orders, and he doesn't dare to disobey him." ”

Cao Cao said happily: "With you's 'thunder', you can win thousands of troops." "Generally uplifted.

Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment: "Wu Shuai, the last general has a word to ask." ”

Cao Cao nodded and motioned for him to say.

Zhang Jun said: "Now that there is war in the north and south, I don't know how to make a decision?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The Jurchens, the beasts, are the great enemies of the Han people in China, and I will wave the whole army north tomorrow to join Liangshan and meet the Jurchens." ”

Zhang Jun nodded secretly, but said in his mouth: "Aren't you afraid that cranes and mussels will compete and fishermen will benefit, but you will be taken advantage of by the Zhao family?" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "I won't hide it from you, in my eyes, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty are no different from local chickens and tile dogs!" Besides, Jiangnan is still involved in the Ming Sect, forgive him what Zhao Ji is capable of, and he can resist the general trend of Huanghuang. ”

Zhang Jun sighed: "At this time, the throne is at your fingertips, but Wu Shuai would rather take the risk to fight the Jurchen, with a mind and ambition, worthy of the hero, Zhang Jun is not talented, and is willing to drive for his brother." ”

Cao Cao laughed and helped up: "Brother Bo Yingxian, I want to restore the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and I don't have to worry about having no place for you." ”

At the moment to straighten out the hearts of the people, Lao Cao let Ma Ling return to the south of the Yangtze River, help Fang La to re-raise the banner of Mingjiao, Shi Qian, Liu Yanqing disguised himself, went to Jinling Mansion to act, still left Xiao Jiasui, Song Jiang to sit in Bianliang, left Bian Xiang, Zheng Biao here to recuperate, and he led more than 20,000 people, together with Deng Yuanjue and several generals, to cross the river to the north, all the way to collect the city occupied by the Liao, and chase the Liangshan army.

After walking like this for three days, he regained Weizhou and Kaide Mansion successively, and was about to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, when suddenly a group of soldiers and horses burst out of the oblique spurs, about five or six hundred people, blocking the road from afar, and being the leader of the four generals, looking at the old Cao soldiers and horses from afar, seemed to be suspicious.

Cao Cao looked at the crowd and saw him under the banner of the Song army, and couldn't help but wonder: "This place has been occupied by the Liao State for a long time, where can there be a small Song army?" Which brother went to inquire. ”

Before the words fell, Li Kui shouted: "Don't fight, I'll be a scout!" After saying that, the war horse jumped out, and when he arrived in front of the opponent's formation, he looked at the four of them and shouted: "Bah! You four are sneaky, what is the origin, if it is the Song army, you will come with me to see my brother Generalissimo, if you are a Liao dog, and stand up, wait for me to strip naked and kill you. ”

Among the four people, a man with scars on his cheeks said angrily: "Wow! Where did this brute come from, such rudeness? Let him eat my flying fork! ”

Another man with a tiger's head tattooed on his neck also shouted: "You rude, be careful with my flying spear." ”

The two of them were about to get angry, and the other two scholars and craftsmen-looking leaders hurriedly stopped them, and one of the scholars shouted: "You black man, don't be brutal, let me ask you, are you waiting for the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to Pingliao?" ”

Li Kui glared and said, "Yes, what's wrong, isn't it?" ”

The scholar hurriedly said: "If you are an officer or soldier, don't misunderstand, I am here for the officers and soldiers of Dongchang Mansion and the Jeju Righteous Army, who have come to make difficulties with the Liao State." This general with a scar on his face is Ding Desun, the deputy general of Dongchang Mansion, known as the 'Arrow Tiger', this item swallows the tiger's head, and is also the deputy general of Dongchang Mansion, people call him 'Flower Tiger' Gong Wang, Xiaosheng is Xiao Rang from Jeju, and the people of Jianghu are called 'Holy Hand Scholars', this is Xiaosheng's friend, and Jin Dajian, the 'jade arm craftsman'. Can you, the general, give your name? ”

Li Kui listened to him instigating him to sign up, but he had never heard it, he felt depressed early, and shouted when he heard it: "Say my name, scare your guts!" I am the first fierce general under the generalissimo Wu Dalang in the world, and I am known as the 'black whirlwind' Li Kui! What kind of scholar are you, don't think that you can be arrogant if you know a few words, and I also have a nickname, called 'Qingzhou Poet Fairy'! ”

Several people were shocked when they heard this: "Wu Dalang? Could it be that the Qingzhou Festival makes Wu Zhiwu Festival? When did he become the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses? ”

Li Kui said proudly: "What do you and other countrymen know? My brother is not only the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but also the king of Wei, and when we swept away the Dajin Kingdom, the emperor Lao Er said that he would make my brother the emperor. ”

When the four of them saw that Li Kui was crazy, they knew that he was a reckless man, but they didn't dare to underestimate the neat appearance of the army behind him, Xiao Rang hurriedly said: "It turned out to be General Li Kui in person!" My brothers, we have been famous for a long time, can you go and see you? ”

Li Kui said happily: "You are interesting, let's go, I will take you to visit my brother." ”

This is exactly: a flag of the earth and Tiangang, a game of chess in the south and the north, and the heroes of the Central Plains work together to sweep the crowd like a sweep!
