Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 38

Cao Cao pulled out Pei Xuan and said, "This brother's surname is Pei Mingxuan. He used to be Gongmen Kongmu, and he had a name called 'Iron Face Mu'. Why did he get this name? It's because he is not greedy for money, not afraid of power, and has one heart. I only want to be fair, and I don't want to wrong anyone, just think about it, how dark the government is, Brother Pei is so clean, how can those corrupt officials tolerate him?"

The four generals of Huangmen Mountain, Ou Peng was originally an officer guarding Dajiang, but because he offended his superior, he had to escape on the rivers and lakes, knowing that the officialdom is dark; There seems to be a grudge; Ma Lin is an idler on the street, Tao Zongwang is a farmer, who has not been oppressed by lawsuits?
So they shouted in unison: "The dog officials must not tolerate this brother."

"That's right!" Cao Cao clapped his hands, and said righteously: "The dog official Cai Jiu, who took advantage of Cai Jing's prestige to corrupt the law, how could he tolerate his stern face? Naturally, he was framed and harmed, and he was assigned to Bianzhou. Thanks to meeting Deng Two brothers, Fei and Mengkang, robbed the prison car and fell into the grass together. I waited for this trip to the south, not for anything else, just to take the head of Cai Jiu, and let out a bad breath, so as to teach those dogs who framed the virtuous Officials all know that although the sky has no eyes, we, the heroes, have a knife with eyes in our hands!"

The four people in Huangmen Mountain heard their blood boil, and Ou Peng was the first to shout: "How could I, Ou Peng, be missing for such a big event?"

Ma Lin said: "Brother Wu, Cai Jiu is the magistrate of Jiangzhou. There are five to seven thousand troops in Jiangzhou. How can things be done with so few people? Look at these two copper knives, my brother. At least I can block him from 80 people."

Tao Zongwang said in a low voice, "It's my shovel. How can you not kill dozens of officers and soldiers when you turn it around? Brother Wu family, why don't you take me with you?"

Jiang Jing looked at the bloody brothers, and said, "I have always heard of my brother's righteous name. I saw him today, and I am willing to travel thousands of miles for my brother's vengeance. I really deserve my reputation. I can't wait to fall into Huangmen Mountain." To waste time, if brother doesn't give up, he should burn down the cottage and do a big business with brother."

Seeing the four people looking forward to it, Cao Cao was overjoyed. He clasped his fists and said, "It's rare for you to be righteous. If that's the case, we will be brothers in the future. But this cottage doesn't need to be burned for the time being. You can leave some confidantes to guard it until we accomplish great things. Come back, let's make calculations."

The four agreed in unison, and immediately invited Cao Cao and the others to rest in the cottage, and drank heavily for a day.

And the next day, Jiang Jing ordered more than people to guard the cottage, and at the same time cut wood for carts to prepare for the subsequent transportation of the cottage. Another strong men, accompanied by four people, went to Jiangzhou with Cao Cao to seek revenge.

Even Cao Cao had a total of fourteen heroes, with 400 people horses, divided into multiple shares, personally led Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Pei Xuan, and Ou Peng, and brought three 40 people, and they traveled across the mountain mightily.

After another two or three days, after passing Shuzhou, he saw a high mountain in front of him blocking the road. Pei Xuanxi said: "This place is called Jieyang Ridge. After passing this mountain is the Xunyang River, which can reach Jiangzhou directly by water."

Everyone climbed over the ridge covered in hot sweat and went down the slope. They saw a restaurant on the mountainside, leaning against the dangerous ridge, with several thatched houses, and a strange tree in front of the door. Drink a bowl of wine to quench your thirst."

When he got closer, he saw a man at the door of the shop panicked and wanted to hide in the house. Guo Sheng shouted, "Where is that man going? Don't you see the old man coming to buy wine?"

The man was wearing a ripped turban and a chess piece cloth vest, showing his swarthy arms, with a dark red beard on his face, forced a smile and said, "I don't want to leave, it's just that Jieyang Ridge is rarely visited by visitors. There are so many people, it’s a moment of shame.”

Ou Peng laughed and said, "You're a rough guy, and you're not a girl. Why are you shy? You should get rich and come to a big business. You should have drinks in this store. Let's move them out together, and we'll count the money with you."

He got off his horse while talking, and walked into the store. Cao Cao glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw two water and fire sticks on the wall, and a pair of open shackles.

Looking at the shop again, there was a mess of cups and plates on a table, two wine bowls were overturned on the floor, and the wine dripped all over the floor, Cao Cao became more and more suspicious.

Goodbye to that man who was obsequious and didn't dare to look at people straight in the eye, he had already made up his mind, and suddenly shouted: "You open this black shop, and you dare to use Menghan medicine to harm the officials, what should you do?"

The man trembled all over, with a fierce light in his eyes, he held the two tables with both hands and threw them up, smashing Lu Fang and Guo Sheng separately, and came straight to Cao Cao, wanting to take one as a hostage before the outsiders entered the house. .

He came so fast that Cao Cao didn't have time to draw his sword, but he lived with Wu Song for a year and learned a lot of fists and kicks. When he saw this, he swung his arm and shook the man's hand away, and grabbed the belt with his right hand. , his shoulders against his lower abdomen, his left hand grasped the neckline, and he carried it hard. The man felt his head spinning, and then he was thrown heavily on the ground. Before he could get up, Cao Cao kicked the door in the face. Two feet were shot in the abdomen again, and he couldn't move up or down in one breath, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Ou Peng was still waiting to rescue him, but Cao Cao knocked him down in a blink of an eye, and cheered, "Brother is very skillful."

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng blocked the table and saw that the enemy had been knocked down by Cao Cao. They were both shocked and angry. They followed Cao Cao every day and pretended to be bodyguards, but now they almost let Cao Cao be captured. He kicked wildly, until the man's face was covered with blood.

Pei Xuan called Lu Fang Guosheng to stop him: "Kick him again and he will die. Don't kill him yet, search his shop." Lu Fang Guo Sheng just stopped bitterly, ordered a few young men, and searched behind the house. Go, after a while, there was a scream: "Brother, come and see."

Cao Cao said to the young men: "Look at this man!"

Going to the back room with Pei Xuan and Ou Peng, I saw a bed in the back room, several packages had been unwrapped by the minions, and a big package was full of gold and silver, and then went back, next to In a house by the cliff, a few dry human legs were hung from the wall, and in the middle of the room was a stripped human stool, with a familiar-looking black dwarf tied up on it, and two gentlemen tied up underneath, both unconscious.

Lu Fang said bitterly: "No wonder that guy felt guilty when he saw us waiting for so many people. It turned out to be a black shop, thanks to my brother's insightful eyes."

Guo Shengdao: "I heard that there are people in Jianghu who use anesthetics to anesthetize customers and cut human flesh to make steamed buns. I thought it was a frightening fabrication. I didn't expect that someone actually did such a wicked thing."

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning deeply when he smelled the stench in the room.

Lao Cao has been through troubled times for a long time. In those years, there were many wars and misfortunes, and there were no harvests at every turn. Cannibalism was not uncommon. However, the Song Dynasty was much more prosperous than he was in the past, and there were still people who wanted to kill people and eat meat, which made him feel cold.

Suddenly I heard Lu Fang shout again: "Hey, this man looks familiar."

Cao Cao listened and took two steps forward to take a closer look, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Ah, this is my brother Erlang's sworn brother, rain Song Jiang in time, didn't this guy go to Liangshan? Why did he get the golden seal and end up here?"

Guo Sheng came over to take a look, nodded and said: "Sure enough, it's timely rain, brother, do you want to save him?"

At the foot of Shadow Mountain that day, the two sides were enemies and not friends. The scene of Cao Cao's righteous words accusing Song Jiang is vivid in my memory. Lu Fang and Lu Fang also admired Song Jiang's reputation for a long time, but after learning that he harmed Qin Ming, they changed their minds and knew their elder brother. Seeing that this black guy can't get on, so I ask this question.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "After all, he is the brother of my family Erlang who has worshiped him. He didn't kill him last time. Could he be hurt this time? Save him from waking up."

Pei Xuan heard it from the side, and he couldn't help being very surprised. Song Jiang Shiyu's name, he also heard a lot of people say that he is a strange man who donates money with righteousness, but looking at Cao Cao's attitude now, he doesn't care about him at all. A bit disdainful.

Guo Sheng was quick, picked up the bucket beside him, splashed, half of the bucket of water splashed on the faces of Song Jiang and the two gentlemen respectively.
