Chapter 13 The king and his ministers became brothers in the previous life

Cao Cao took a long sip of wine and showed a look of recollection: "That happened during the Chuping period. I was the governor of Dongjun. At that time, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were causing trouble in Shandong. The servant Zhu Jun recommended me to suppress the rebellion, so I defeated the Yellow Turban and recruited peace. There were more than 300,000 soldiers and more than a million thieves, men and women, so I selected the best among them to form a Qingzhou army, and the imperial court named me General Zhendong."

He looked at Wu Song and smiled: "An army without generals is like a snake without a head. At that time, I did not have enough generals, so I recruited talents everywhere. One day, Xiahou Dun brought a big man to see him and said that he was hunting in the mountains. At that time, I saw this big man chasing a tiger across a stream, so he came here to recommend him to me. I asked him his name, and he said his name was Dian Wei."

As he spoke, Cao Cao pointed at Wu Song and said: "Dian Wei is handsome, tall and burly, just like Erlang! He made two iron halberds weighing eighty kilograms and danced like flying. No one in the army could defeat him. He carries more than ten short halberds and flies out to kill people, without fail! My enemy Liu Xuande has ten thousand enemies at Guan, Zhang and Zhao, so he may not be able to defeat General Dian Wei."

Everyone cheered: "Duan is a good man!"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "In the past life, I chased the tiger across the gorge, and in this life, I kill the tiger with my bare hands. No matter in the past life or this life, Wu Erlang has always been determined to be the enemy of the big insect."

Everyone laughed, and Wu Song murmured to himself: "It turns out that in my previous life, I was a general under my brother's command."

Cao Cao said: "In the battle with Lu Bu in Puyang, I was trapped by an ambush and had no way to escape. It was Dian Wei who rushed into the siege and rescued me. I fought for several years and was invincible in every battle, and I made a lot of achievements. It's a pity that that year I was conquering Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. He surrendered and then rebelled. He attacked our camp at night. Because he was afraid of Dian Wei Wudi, he invited him to drink. He came back very drunk and had two of his spurges stolen... …well."

Thinking of Dian Wei's loyalty and bravery in the past, even after many years and a world apart, Cao Cao couldn't help but burst into tears and said sadly: "It was night, the enemy army made a surprise attack, Dian Wei said to me: 'My lord, hurry up and wait for me to meet the enemy!' 'He couldn't find the halberd he was used to, and his armor was nowhere to be found, so he had to draw his sword and kill more than 20 enemy soldiers..."

"...The blade of the blade was damaged and could not be reused. The enemy's spear formation was as dense as a line of reeds. Dian Wei stood guard at the camp gate and refused to retreat. He was hit by dozens of bullets and his body was covered in blood. He shouted to me: 'When my lord doesn't leave, Dian Wei It's a waste of time!'"

"My heart is like a knife, but the battle is ruthless. My nephew Cao Anmin leads my horse and gallops..."

At this point, Cao Cao burst into tears, breathed hard, and said to himself: "...Later I heard that Dian Jun captured two enemy soldiers, held them upside down as a sledgehammer, and killed dozens of them in a row. The thieves did not dare to enter. , shoot him with random arrows, Mr. Dian..."

"...Blood flowed all over the ground, and when he was exhausted, Judah opened his eyes and stood at the gate of the camp. There were tens of thousands of enemy troops, but no one dared to enter the gate..."

Cao Cao's words were so moving and shocking that everyone shed tears as they thought about him. Liu Tang and Ruan Xiaoqi drew their swords and slashed the ground, shouting in tears: "A man's heroic life and death are truly worthy of his majestic body!"

Cao Cao said again: "It was all thanks to Dian Wei blocking the door that I was able to escape through the back door. My nephew An Min followed me on foot. I encountered an ambush on the road. I was hit by an arrow in my right arm, and my horse was hit by three arrows. When I reached the river, the thieves chased An Min. I turned around to fight, but was cut into pieces. I rode my horse across the river, and then came ashore. I was hit in the horse's eye by a cold arrow. Fortunately, my eldest son Cao Ang came over and gave the horse to me. I was able to escape from the siege, but my eldest son was hit by random arrows. Shoot..."

When Cao Cao got to the emotional point, he held Wu Song's hand and tears fell on his arm: "I have fought all my life and regarded life and death as nothing. But without Dian Wei, An Min, Aang and others, how could I be here?"

My destiny is to bring peace to the people. Aang and Ang are all close relatives, but Dianwei is not of my blood. Fortunately, God has mercy on us. A thousand years later, you and I are actually born as brothers. You were very aggressive and brave when you were young. How much suffering will I suffer along with you?

Now that I think about it, I have to repay your life-saving debt in my previous life."

Wu Song thought of his cowardly short brother, who had lived frugally to support him since he was a child, and even allowed him to learn martial arts from his master. And because he had been involved in many things, his true feelings flowed for a while, and he fell down in tears and said: "It turns out that my brother and I are destined to be different.

In this life, if it weren't for my brother's instructions, how would Wu Er know about his past relationship? In this life, I should follow my brother before and after, in order to maintain the loyalty of my two brothers."

When everyone in Liangshan saw it, they all cheered and said: "If he is not such a brother, how can he be worthy of this brother? If he is not such a brother, how can he be worthy of such a brother? It can be seen that he is a pair of brothers, and he will also do extraordinary things in this life."

So they all brought wine to persuade them, and each of them poured out his heart and soul. After drinking two jars of wine, he took two more jars. Everyone was very drunk. They spread several quilts on the spot and slept on the floor.

The next day, Pan Jinlian cooked porridge and rice and woke everyone up to eat. Chao Gai said goodbye: "After all, we brothers are no longer good friends, and you two are officials, so it is inconvenient to stay together for a long time. If you are willing to cherish this sense of loyalty, you can spend your free time."

When the time comes, you might as well come to Liangshanbo to visit us, and then have a good drink."

Cao Cao immediately agreed and took out a plate of gold and silver as a gift. How could Chao Gai and others accept it? They refused to death. Cao Cao and Wu Song sent the six people ten miles out of the county before returning them.

On the way back, Wu Song said: "Brother, I have acquired a skill over the years and can use swords, guns and sticks, but I have never chosen a real weapon. I heard you tell me last night that I should use a pair of halberds.

"

Cao Cao nodded: "I have also observed and speculated these days. The world seems to be peaceful, but in fact the disaster of overthrow is already at hand. It's just that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was ignorant and treacherous, and turned a blind eye. I am a noble man, how can I

Can you let the barbarians bully you? One day, I will ask my brother to come forward and open up a new world for the Han people. Brother, your martial arts will be of great use in the future. It is best to order the weapons as early as possible."

So the two of them went to the iron shop where they bought the sword together and found paper and pen. Cao Cao drew the shapes of the Dianwei double halberd and the small halberd, and asked the blacksmith to select the best quality iron and carefully forge it, indicating that the two large halberds had different shapes.

Forty kilograms, twelve small halberds each weighing one and a half kilograms. I paid twenty taels of silver and agreed to pick them up on the fifteenth day.

From then on, Cao Cao and Wu Song went to the yamen every day to serve as servants, and when nothing happened, they resorted to literary and military exercises to build up their strength.

Wu Song sometimes asked about what was going on in the military formation, and Cao Cao would tell him in detail his past life experiences and the way he led troops in battle. How knowledgeable and open-minded he was? After spending time together, Wu Song's admiration grew day by day, and his own intelligence was also greatly inspired.

Half a month later, Wu Song went to the blacksmith's shop to retrieve the large and small iron halberds. Wu Song was so excited that he found no one to practice them once. He had never learned the halberd technique and was still a little unfamiliar at first. After practicing it, he gradually became proficient in various tricks.

He came up with it out of thin air one by one, but it seemed that he already knew it. It was more powerful than other weapons he used. He became more and more convinced that his previous life was a matter of Dian Wei. He had to carry a euphorbia with him when he ate or slept.

.

As a result, the reputation of the two brothers spread far and wide. Because the elder brother had the nickname "Wu Mengde" and because he wielded double halberds, he soon got the nickname "Huo Dianwei".

Cao Cao refused to sit still and bought several stores one after another. Now he became famous. When letters came, heroes from the north and south were willing to show their favor. Therefore, the supply channels were greatly smoothed, and he hired several experienced people to manage the stores.

, because the goods were good, the prices were reasonable, and he was willing to share profits with others, the business soon flourished. People from surrounding counties and even prefectures came to pick up his goods, and the family became more and more prosperous.

When the business was on track, Cao Cao let go and didn't ask any further questions. He bought two good horses from the north at a high price. One yellow horse was named Feidian and the other was black horse Lian Ying. He and Wu Song went to practice equestrian skills outside the city every day.

Riding in the battle, Wu Song was overjoyed, and his days flew by.

More than half a year passed in such a hurry, and on this day, the county magistrate suddenly summoned the two brothers to discuss something.
