The next day, Lao Cao ignored the dissuasion of Chao Gai and others, rode a white horse without an inch of iron, and only brought four entourage, and left the camp to look at Cangzhou.

The four entourages were not others, but Yuan Lang, Teng Ji, Teng Ji, and Niu Gao.

These four people are not wearing armor, but they are dressed in green clothes, with waist knives, and holding a large box in their hands.

When he went out, he made a joke: Li Kui saw that he didn't take him, and he wanted to fight for life and death, so Niu Gao persuaded him: "The four of me happen to be in pairs, and there is one more of you, isn't it undignified?" ”

Li Kui pulled Mu Hong and said, "Then add Brother Mu Hong, six people, generally even numbers." ”

Niu Gao shook his head again: "There are only four boxes, and there are two empty-handed, isn't it undignified?" ”

Li Kui thought for a moment, and suddenly found the key, grabbed Niu Gao and said, "But it's not easy?" Take off this garment and give it to me, and I'll go for you. ”

Or Qiao Daoqing called: "Tie Niu, you have a dispute, you know that many brothers are here, why did my brother order him four?" ”

At that moment, they pointed at one by one: "Red-faced Tiger, Descending Mountain Tiger, Elephant Eating Tiger, Black Wind Tiger!" The king was half mad and half demon, and he was about to be shocked by the tiger power of these brothers. ”

Yuan Lang raised his head and burst out of his nose.

Li Kui bit his fingers when he heard this and said: "Yuan Lang is just three of you, what kind of tiger power does Niu Gao have?" It's better to change to a winged tiger. ”

Lei Heng was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "Good brother, Lei has secretly hidden a few jars of good wine, go back and share it with you." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Although Lei Heng is mighty, he has no official body. Niu Gao is a few military generals named in various states in Shandong - especially Yuan Lang, who are originally strong in Huaixi, and to a certain extent, Wang Yu's past victories. ”

Cao Cao spoke, Li Kui was helpless, and looked at Niu Gao following behind Lao Cao, shaking his head and tail.

After a while, they arrived at the bottom of the city.

Lao Cao looked up, the Cangzhou city wall was mottled, and the Songzi banner on the head of the city was tattered and dirty, slightly curled and swayed with the wind, and the end was full of desolation.

Lao Cao sighed and shouted, "The old man is visiting, where is General Wang Yu?" ”

When the soldiers in the city heard it, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to report, and in a moment, Wang Yu came, grabbed the city, looked condescendingly, with a pair of ghost-like red eyes, stared at Lao Cao for a long time, and hesitated: "Are you 'Wu Mengde'?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, raised his face and clenched his fists, and said sincerely: "General, Xijing has been in a hurry for several years, but I didn't expect to meet again today." ”

But it was Lao Cao who was under Liu Yanqing's command at the beginning, and conquered Wang Qing from Tong Guan, during which he had no less dealings with Wang Yu, but there was some friendship.

Later, Luoyang said goodbye, Cao Cao went to fight Tianhu, and from Wang Yu's point of view, the two never met again.

It's just that in the name of Li Dunzi, Lao Cao was mixed with Wu Song and Lu Junyi as a pioneer, and beat Suzhou, and with the name of Song Jiang, he went to help Fang La.

However, he was wearing a mask at the time, and the white horse under his crotch was also ridden by Tang Bin to Liangshan for help, and he deliberately did not bring a knife today, so it was difficult to recognize Wang Yu opposite.

When Wang Yu saw Lao Cao saluting, he didn't speak, just stared at him, looked at him for a long time, and then looked up at the Liangshan camp in the distance, and said slowly: "You are a gang with Liangshan Caokou?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Wu is an official of the imperial court, how can he be willing to be with Cao Kou?" General Wang, open the door and let me go in and talk about it in detail? ”

The official should know that when Wang Yu was sent to Cangzhou by Tong Guan, he didn't know that Cao Cao was going to fight Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and as for the rest of it, he was trapped in the lonely city, and he didn't know anything.

Moreover, he wanted to stop Wu Song from beating Tong Guan, but he was also afraid that Wu Song would implicate Lao Cao, so it can be seen that their friendship with each other is not evil.

When the king heard that he was going into the city, he was silent.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you have been guarding Cangzhou for more than a year, and you are as stable as a rock, which shows that you have excellent skills!" Now there are only five people here in Wu, are you still worried? Besides, the four of them are also your acquaintances. ”

pointed at the moment: "You take a closer look, Yuan Lang, Teng Huan, Teng Jie!" Remember? Back then, you and I conquered Wang Qing, and the three of them were among the five tigers of Jishan, how fierce! Finally because of you and me, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, willingly surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and make a lot of contributions, now Yuan Lang has done the Mizhou regiment training envoy, Teng Jian has become the Weizhou soldiers and horses capital supervisor, Teng Ji has done the Zizhou regiment training envoy, all of them have a chance, hehe, there is also a kindness from your general Wang. ”

Wang Yu showed a smile on his face: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's clear that several generals are motivated with their hearts, how dare Wang take credit?"

Cao Cao pointed at Niu Gao again and said: "This is my fierce general in Qingzhou, I used to go to Fangla with my younger brother, and you should also take a picture when you are in the army." ”

Wang Yu suddenly shouted: "Your brother, lawless, dares to beat Tong Shuai!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "General Wang, between you and me, don't tell lies, and ask yourself, shouldn't Tong Guan be beaten?" ”

Wang Yu said angrily: "Of course not, it shouldn't! Tong Shuai is the general, there is a difference between the top and bottom of the army, if the following is committed, how can the military prestige exist? ”

Cao Cao's expression was solemn, and he shouted: "General Wang, if you say so, Wu has now swept away the two countries of Liaoxia and made great contributions, Your Majesty has made me the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and you stopped me, the generalissimo, outside the city, wouldn't it be a crime?" ”

Wang Yu was taken aback, his red eyes flickered, and he looked at Lao Cao in disbelief: "Sweep away Liaoxia?" Are you serious? ”

Cao Cao smiled proudly: "General, you and I have a robe, don't you see my ability?" But if you don't believe, let me in, and show you the evidence. ”

Wang Yu gritted his teeth and struggled to think, but after all, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and slapped the city wall: "Open the door!" ”

In the distance of the Liangshan military village, all the brothers looked at the door, Lei Heng's eyes were sharp, and he pointed and exclaimed: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

Chao Gai admired: "It is worthy of Brother Wu!" Although the king was crazy, he was still willing to listen to him. ”

Cao Cao entered the city, walked more than ten steps, drilled out of the hole in the city gate, looked at it, alas! But you see—

The grass on the side of the stone road is green, full of devastation and white bones.

The prosperity of the past has become purgatory, and the alleys of the world have turned into darkness.

Who has ever read the life and death of the husband? The battle has not stopped.

The sky can't bear to hear the sudden rain, and the whining is like a ghost crying.

You must know that Lao Cao used to travel with Chai Jin, and also traveled in this Cangzhou, which is a famous and prosperous place in the north, but now, the ruins are full of eyes, and the corpses are piled up, and at a glance, it is no different from hell.

seemed to sense Lao Cao's mood, and suddenly a drizzle fell, and the rain fell to the ground, creating a layer of rain and mist, making this desolate scene in the city extra bleak.

Lao Cao sighed, turned his head to look, Wang Yu took hundreds of soldiers, swaying, and came down from the city: "What about the evidence." ”

Lao Cao waved his hand, and Yuan Lang stepped forward with the big box in his hand and opened them one by one.

Wang Yu looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned: those boxes were full of lime-pickled human heads!

Cao Cao pointed and said: "This is the head of Yelu Chun, the head of Xiao Gan, the head of Wu Yanguang, Yelu Dashi's life is big, eat him to escape for a while, and he will be caught and killed after a long time." ”

Wang Yu opened his mouth wide in shock, although these heads were full of white ash, he could vaguely see that they were indeed Ye Luchun and others.

Cao Cao pointed to the last one and said, "This is the head of Li Yuchang in Western Xia." ”

Wang Yu was stunned for a long time, and said in surprise: "The Minister of Western Xia? ”

Lao Cao nodded, and immediately colluded with the Western Xia Kingdom of Jin, annexed the northwest, and besieged Taiyuan, how he tossed and turned, and said it in detail: "Now the prince and princess of Western Xia are all imprisoned in Bianliang, if you don't believe it, you will know if you ask in the past." ”

Wang Yu also fought in the Western Army, and after listening to Lao Cao's explanation of the war clearly, he knew that most of it was true, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It turns out that you have made a great cause, no wonder Your Majesty made you the generalissimo of soldiers and horses!" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Hey, these feats seem to be extravagant, but they are actually nothing. The Liao State was originally killed by the Jin Kingdom, and how many elite soldiers and fierce generals were lost in the north, otherwise how could it be so easy to deal with? Then there is the Western Xia, and my Great Song Dynasty hundred years of bloody war, in fact, it has already reached a desperate situation, if there is no Jin State to trouble, sooner or later it will perish, the real disaster, is the Jin Kingdom, Wang Yu! ”

Wang Yu straightened his bone-like body: "The end will be!" ”

Cao Cao said: "The previous Tongguan Hebei was defeated, the elite of the Western Army was defeated, and the Western Xia then caused trouble in the northwest, and even the roots were injured. However, the soldiers of the Jin State are strong and strong, and they are more terrible than the Liao Dog and the Xia Dog combined, so I asked the Holy Decree to recruit the people of Liangshan, and it was also a last resort, I hope you understand. ”

Wang Yu smiled bitterly: "You are a handsome, who can control you except Your Majesty?" I don't understand it, but I don't understand it. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "This is not the case!" Now the fierce generals in the DPRK have lost a lot, and there are some left, although the martial arts are high, no one is as loyal and brave as you! I don't want you to make it clear, you have a pimple in your heart, how can you kill the enemy for the country? ”

Wang Yu looked back at the soldiers on the left and right, and his expression seemed to cry and laugh: "I am a sinner, how can I contribute to the country again?" Marshal, let's tell you the truth, Cangzhou has been out of food for more than half a year, I'll wait ......"

"Wang Yu!" Lao Cao saw that his expression began to get excited, and he spoke faster and faster, and suddenly shouted!

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, Lao Cao looked at him for a moment, and said slowly: "Han Geng guards Shule, Tang Zhang patrols Suiyang, how is the situation different from you at this time?" However, history books are like knives, word by word, can it be said that Geng Gong and Zhang Xun are not? ”

When Wang Yu heard this, his body trembled, tears fell like rain, and the officers and soldiers behind him all swayed their bodies and wept.

These officers and soldiers are all from the Shengjie Army. When Tong Guan presided over the military affairs of the Northwest, he deliberately selected burly people with excellent martial arts from various armies to form a personal soldier.

Its army originally had 5,000 people, of which 3,000 Tong Guan was placed by his side, and it was this army that later kept Zhao Ji to go to Zhenjiang Mansion. Another 2,000 were transferred to Cangzhou with Wang Yu, and Wang Yu was able to fight hard so far, mostly relying on the combat strength of this army.

Today, however, there are only five or six hundred left.

Cao Cao stepped forward, holding Wang Yu's hands, his own eyes were also red, looking at the remainder of the scrawny Shengjie army, and said loudly: "Brothers, I won't tell you that not long ago, Fang Yu killed Wu Yanguang, the general of the Liao State, in Yingtianfu, and then worshiped Zhang Xun Ancestral Hall, but seeing the cigarette smoke, he asked the temple Zhu Fang Zhi, and when those Liao people occupied here, they also offered incense to him every day!" It can be seen that loyal ministers and martyrs like you and other brothers must look up to each other in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad! General Wang said he was a sinner? Fart! You are all my heroes in China! ”

When Wang Yu and the hundreds of officers and soldiers heard this, their emotions could hardly be suppressed, and they wept loudly one after another, and their tears were mixed with the rain, and they could not tell whether they were tears or rain.

Lao Cao couldn't bear it in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "I came this time to ask you, brothers, the siege of Cangzhou has been lifted, if you are tired and tired, you will go to my Qingzhou, relieve the people of the people, land, mansions, gold and silver, there are a lot of things, discipline you all to be rich people!" ”

"No!" A young man behind Wang Yu suddenly shouted like a lone wolf: "Don't be a rich man, Lao Tzu's brothers are all on Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is full of inexhaustible strength, Lao Tzu wants to kill thieves!" After killing the Liao thief and the Western thief, Da Shuai will take me and others to kill the Jurchen thief! ”

"Yes, yes! I'm going to kill the thief! I can't wait to dismantle the armor! The rest of the hundreds of people chanted in unison.

Lao Cao looked at the young man, although his shape was erect, his eyebrows were quite impressive, and he asked in a low voice, "What a generous young man!" Who is he? ”

Wang Yu wiped a handful of rainwater, and on his ghost-like face, he finally showed a heartfelt smile, and grinned: "This is my son Wang Xun!" ”

Then he hooked Lao Cao's hand with his backhand, and looked at him with blazing eyes: "Handsome!" With our armor, food, and ordnance! Our army is willing to be the vanguard! ”

Cao Cao froze for a moment and nodded deeply: "Okay!" Your army will be called the Cangzhou Army in the future! ”

Soon after, Lao Cao and his people left the city, and immediately, countless military materials, grain and grass, and flowing water were sent to the city.

Lao Cao's meaning is to let Wang Yu lead his subordinates, will raise some time, and then go north to converge is not too late, but Wang Yu and others swore to die, the next day saw that Lao Cao was going to set off, immediately the whole army out of the city, a scrawny soldiers and horses, forced to the front, as the vanguard.

But after Yan Xianye finished speaking, after retreating from Yutian after the defeat, he immediately sent a scout horse to Shangjing to inform Wu Qimai of the war and ask for support.

At the same time, it will take several days to rest the soldiers and horses, and will raise morale.

On September 15, Shangjing sent a team of soldiers and horses, the number of which was only 3,000, which was the elite of the Jin people who did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to train, and the men and horses wore heavy armor and stood on the ground, which was as amazing as an iron tower, known as the "Iron Floating Massacre"! It was led by two generals, Wanmu Tuochi and Wanmu Tuoze.

Wan Yan Xian also saw it, and was elated: "Ah, Tiefutu is coming, how can Nanban be my blow?" ”

came with the army, and there was another young general, not someone else, it was the son of the eldest prince Wanyan Sticky Han, Wanyan Golden Bullet is also!

This son was in the old capital of the Jin people, heard that his father was killed in battle, and cried with grief, so he begged his master Pufeng and let him go south to take revenge.

The Jin soldiers received strong reinforcements, and their morale was greatly boosted, and Wan Yan Xian immediately led the army and killed Jizhou again.

Yue Fei learned that the Jin soldiers were coming again, and hurriedly gathered the generals: "He will come to the battle with the whole army so quickly, he must have something to rely on, we can't wait for it lightly, and defend the city steadily, so as to see its reality and reality!" ”

Not long after, the Jin soldiers were under the city, and Wan Yan Xian also set up a formation, shouting: "Xiao Nanban Yue Fei, sneak attacked our army before, if you have the courage, you might as well go out of the city for a decisive battle!" ”

Yue Fei listened to it in the city and sneered: "It seems that he doesn't want to attack the city, so I will go out of the city to meet him for a while, if I take the opportunity to kill a few of his generals, it will also boost the morale of my army!" ”

After that, he got on the horse and picked up the gun, and opened the city gate and came out: "Xianye, I didn't kill you in the previous battle, but today I came to die, come and come, you and I are in front of the two armies, high and low!" ”
