Chapter 61: Borrowing Money
At this time, seeing Cao Ba jumping up and jumping onto the gate of Cao's mansion, Cao Ba suddenly raised his arms and said, "Stop......"
The internal force accompanied the sound, like thunder, and the heads of the people who shook were stunned, and saw Cao Ba and said, "Everyone, stop it, you Lord Liao is also injured, you dragons have no leader, what's the point of resisting? If this continues, even if there are many of you, there is no master to compete with us, no accident, in less than half the night, we can kill all of you."
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ba continued, "Even if your emperor Lao'er sends someone here, I close the gate of Luoyang City, they can't enter at all, Luoyang used to be the imperial capital, presumably everyone knows that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if you come in, all you see is your corpse."
After a pause, Cao Ba continued, "It's better for you to be obedient to me, we will run Luoyang together, break hands with him Zhu Qizhen, talk about the conditions, Luoyang is full of people, it is impossible for him Zhu Qizhen to ignore it, so eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and the future will be long."
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are simple-minded and well-developed limbs, Cao Ba's words suddenly went to the heart, and it is dead to resist the designation, it is better to stick to Luoyang, there is still a glimmer of hope, at this time, the brocade guards brought by Liao Lichang suddenly shouted, "I will wait for Lord Cao to look at the horse", and suddenly all of them knelt on the ground.
When the injured Liao Lichang heard this scene in the house, he immediately felt very uncomfortable, Jinyiwei is a group of people who maintain imperial power and are filial to the emperor, but at this critical juncture, betrayed the emperor, sigh! Suddenly two lines of tears flowed.
And in the court, Zhu Qizhen appointed virtuous ministers, reused Peng Shi, Wang Ao and others, Cao Ba occupied the heavy city of Luoyang, and Zhu Qizhen planned to send a large army to attack Luoyang, he said" Ministers, I am worthy of my life, but I regret two things, one is to kill Yu Qian by mistake, and the other is to use Cao Jixiang by mistake, and now Cao Jixiang's henchmen have been almost cleared, and it has been decided, but Luoyang is an important city in the Central Plains, and the rebel general Cao Ba occupies the city for himself, I sent Liao Lichang to go, but I forgot that Cao Ba is a person in the rivers and lakes, and his subordinates are all strong martial artists, Liao Lichang took himself, and also took thousands of my Jinyi guards"
At this time, Wang Ao said, "Your Majesty, you can use the way of others to govern your body, call on the world, announce Cao Ba's crimes, and let all the sects in the rivers and lakes go to crusade, and we will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
Zhu Qizhen nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, but can the people in the rivers and lakes listen to my orders?"
Wang Ao said, "Today's rivers and lakes, by Cao Ba's reputation in the imperial court is bloody and bloody, before many people in the rivers and lakes did not want to bear the name of treason, Cao Ba is just blindly defensive, now we announce Cao Ba's charges, other sects on the rivers and lakes will justifiably conquest Cao Ba, send troops to Luoyang"
Zhu Qizhen said, "But, what if they are defeated? As far as I know, there are two of the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Central Plains Huguang are all under the influence of Cao Ba, and there are even more sects such as Tsing Yi Gate, Xianju Gate, and Tieshou Gate to follow."
Wang Ao said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the emperor can throw out the bait, thinking that Emperor Taizu fought the rivers and mountains, borrowed the hands of the rivers and lakes, and won a lot of achievements, and then didn't seal the first family in Lingnan, the first family in Jiangnan, the first family in Beijing and the first family in the Central Plains."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ao continued, "The emperor can follow the example of Taizu, the one who breaks Luoyang is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the one who kills Cao Ba is the leader of the Central Plains martial arts alliance, and those who participate in the siege of Luoyang will be rewarded, and no matter whether they succeed or fail, the two tigers are injured, and it is not too late for us to take action, but the forces in the rivers and lakes will regress, and there will be no civil forces to threaten the court."
Zhu Qizhen said, "Okay, this plan is feasible, you start to prepare, I can draw up the purpose"
Wang Ao said, "Yes, Your Majesty"
Sure enough, within half a month, the holy decree of Cao Ba was announced to the world, and in order to unite as one, Zhu Qizhen deliberately attacked Luoyang during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At this time, Tsing Yi Gate, Xianju Gate, Tieshou Gate, Wushan faction, and Dongshan faction successively announced apologies from the rivers and lakes, it was their own fault first, and they all officially withdrew from Cao Ying, and Cao Ba was recruited to Cao Ba, Cao Yi brought the information to Luoyang, Cao Ba was very cold after hearing it, and it was not false that the tree fell and scattered.
At this time, Cao Ba ordered, "Pass the order, discuss in the lobby", and after a while, everyone arrived one after another.
Cao Ba saw that they had all arrived, so he said, "Let me tell you a piece of news, now we are embattled, and the imperial court has ordered the people in the rivers and lakes to conquer my Luoyang, but it is still the same sentence, don't worry, Luoyang is the former imperial capital, easy to defend and difficult to attack"
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ba continued: "We have five or six thousand people in the original city, and now we have nearly 10,000 Jinyi Guards, and we will expand some of them, enough to have twenty or thirty thousand people, which is more than enough to hold Luoyang."
Cao Ba ordered, "Cao Long"
Cao Long said, "In"
Cao Ba said, "You lead 5,000 people to the east to guard the Jianchun Gate."
Cao Long replied, "Yes"
Cao Ba said, "Cao Hu, Li Yang"
Cao Hu and Li Yang said at the same time, "In"
Cao Ba said, "You lead 5,000 people to the south to guard the Changxia Gate."
Cao Hu and Li Yang replied "yes" at the same time.
Cao Ba said, "Cao Gang"
Cao Gang said, "In"
Cao Ba said, "You lead 5,000 men to the west to guard the Lijing Gate."
Cao Gang replied, "Yes"
Cao Ba said, "Cao Bao, Qian Ming"
Cao Bao Qian Ming said at the same time, "In"
Cao Ba said, "The two of you will also lead 5,000 people to the north and guard the Anxi Gate."
Cao Bao Qian Ming replied "yes" at the same time
Cao Ba continued to order, "Cao Yiyi"
Cao Yiyi said, "In"
Cao Ba said, "You draw two hundred of the fastest ones in the whole army, preferably with light skills, and you take them to be responsible for finding out the news."
Cao Yiyi replied, "Yes"
Cao Ba said, "You can get up, except for Cao Yiyi's scouts, no one is allowed to enter or leave, even a fly."
Everyone replied at the same time, "Yes, Lord Cao."
Cao Ba said, "Don't call it, don't call it, let's call the master, Cao Yiyi, I will give a special waist card to your two hundred scouts, tell them to keep it carefully, and release the people who defend the city."
Cao Yiyi said, "Yes."
Cao Ba said, "Brother Yi, you have to prepare quickly, it's not far from the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Cao Yiyi said, "Don't worry, before your waist card is created, I will complete the selection"
Cao Ba said, "Okay, you are the main general guarding the four gates, you can't be reluctant, if Cao Yi picks one person, I will make up ten recruits for you"
Everyone replied "yes" at the same time.
Cao Ba continued, "We finally dominated the Central Plains and lived a happy life, but the court did not agree, and we were killed, saying that we rebelled, and it was not me who attacked the imperial city, it was Cao Jixiang, it was Cao Qin, and Zhu Qi Zhenfei pulled us to be martyred, we can only take up arms to resist and protect our homeland, so we defend Luoyang, not for me Cao Ba alone, but for the black family."
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ba continued, "If we hold Luoyang, we still eat and drink spicy food, and if we can't keep it, we will be ghosts under the underground prison knife."
Cao Ba's brainwashing, the people below listened to the blood boiling, and they all stood up at the same time and said, "I will defend Luoyang to the death, and the people are in the city."
Cao Ba laughed and said, "Okay, with your impassionedness, we will be able to defend Luoyang"
When the various sects in the rivers and lakes received the news of the conquest of Cao Ba, they all began to prepare and began to select elite generals, and Jiangnan led Murong Yunhai to lead Murong Feng, Huo Guang, and Qin Nanfeng to practice day and night.
The Yanshan faction was led by Xiahou Baxian, and after Cao Jixiang's henchmen were destroyed, Hou Changlin and Xiahou Feiying, who were locked up in the capital, were also released, Hou Changlin was fine, but Xiahou Feiying was tortured by Jinyiwei and was dying, so Xiahou Bazhan must take the heads of Cao Ba's father and son to relieve his hatred.
Sichuan Tangmen, led by Tang Sangu, and the Dongshan faction was led by Zhang Dongshan, the Dongshan faction itself was established by Zhang Dongshan, and Zhang Dongshan's younger brother Zhang Donglai sought power and usurped the throne with the help of Cao Ba, and put his own brother under house arrest, and later Zhang Donglai was killed, and Zhang Dongshan was released.
And Tsing Yi Men originally wanted to unite Xianju Gate, Tieshou Gate, Dongshan faction and Wushan faction to form a coalition army, but was rejected by Xianju Gate, Xianju Gate Zisu was a deal with Cao Ba before, but then Cao Ba had to inch in, only to know that it was fake, Zisu was immediately angry, but she did not cooperate with any faction, she wanted to lead the way herself.
And the Dongshan faction also rejected the Tsing Yi Gate, Zhang Dongshan himself was anti-Cao Ba, and Zhang Donglai seized the gap to unite with Cao Ba, so he didn't want to be with Cao Ba's original Cao Ying's people.
Therefore, only the Tieshoumen and the Wushan faction agreed to unite with the Tsing Yi Gate, and the Ouyang family, the first family in Lingnan, after being humiliated, how could Ouyang Zhenhai be in the mood to do these things, in his heart, hating Ma Wen was more hateful than hating Cao Ba.
In addition, Shenlongling is not to mention, the Buddha is the arrival of spring, it is simply a great opportunity, they don't care about the martial arts alliance leader, they just want revenge.
Ximen Hai guarded the village, Tie Fei, Zhou Feiyan and Zhuge Yunnan came to the bandit army to practice day and night, looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
And Marin was burdened with the hatred of destroying the door, so he didn't ask Ma anymore, so he went north alone.
And during this time, Ma Wen has been in trouble, he thought that during this time, Lao Wang would definitely take out his savings to recuperate, he had been looking for a long job, no one wanted him, in desperation, he could only go to Shenlongling, he was also betting, betting that Tie Fei was in Shenlong Ridge, and now only Tie Fei can help him.
Ma Wen has no road fare, the whole process depends on the foot, the wind and rain finally arrived at Shenlongling, maybe people often say, God will close the door for you, will open a window for you.
Tie Fei was training soldiers in the small square of Shenlong Ridge, and the subordinates beside him whispered, "Big boss, someone is looking for you over there," the subordinate said and pointed to the horse and asked.
Tie Fei looked in the direction of his subordinates, and Tie Fei said in surprise, "I'll go, who is this?"
Tie Fei walked over to see that this man was wearing a raged shirt, a pair of cloth shoes with broken heels on his feet, his whole body was dirty, his face was full of stubble and dirt and dust, and he had a wooden stick as dirty as him, and the smell of sweat on his body came to his nose.
Ma Wen saw that Tie Fei was in front of him, so he slowly raised his head and said, "Iron Shaoxia"
Tie Fei was taken aback, if it weren't for the familiar voice, the person in front of him really couldn't recognize it was Ma Wen, Tie Fei said, "Ma Wen, you... How did you... Is this what happened?"
Ma asked and sighed, "It's a long story, now I'm like a waste."
Tie Fei said, "I'll go, what are you doing?" Come, let's go in, wash you well, and change your clothes."
Ma asked, "No need, such a wasted person, what is the use of wearing gold and silver, silk and satin, I came all the way to ask you to do me a favor."
Tie Fei said, "Thousands of miles away, are you coming from the South China Sea?"
Ma asked, "No, it's Xiangyang."
Tie Fei said, "I'll go, what the hell are you doing? Say, what's the matter?"
Ma Wen swallowed his saliva and said, "Borrow money"
