Chapter 225: Gather the crowd and hope that the tigers will return to the mountain

Cao Cao formally expressed his intention to recruit, but Guan Sheng Su Rong remained silent.

Everyone couldn't help but stare, and even Li Kui stared blankly, wanting to see how Guan Sheng would respond.

There was a battle between heaven and man in Guan Sheng's mind. He slowly closed his eyes, and the past events and thoughts flowed through his eyes like water——

He recalled how much hard work he had endured since he was a child studying literature and martial arts, and he did not dare to neglect it at all, just for the sake of reviving his family's lintel.

I recall that when I was young, I was full of loyalty and made friends with heroes, hoping to help them in the future, supporting each other, and building achievements together.

I also remembered that more than ten years after I was born, I had been stuck in a mere district inspection position, and my ambitions were gradually fading away, and my heart was full of blood, but it was secretly cold.

This time, Xuan Zan and Bao Zou led the expedition. He thought that all the hardships would be rewarded and he was full of self-confidence. Unexpectedly, the whole army was wiped out, leaving only himself and Xuan Zan. Although he did not return to Beijing, he was "a scapegoat".

I'm afraid I can't escape my title...

A wry smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of Guan Sheng's mouth.

In my mind, I suddenly thought of what Cao Cao said that day: If the war situation is unfavorable, think of three old sayings.

God sees me and the people see me, God listens to me and the people listen.

The vast traces of Yu are painted as Jiuzhou.

The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important.

After chewing it several times, Guan Sheng suddenly said: "Brother Wu, there is actually no shortage of strong generals on Liangshan."

Cao Cao did not hesitate: "Jin, Liao and Xixia have countless fierce generals, how can they not be lacking?"

Guan Sheng nodded and added: "Guan learned the art of war at a young age and claimed to know the art of war, but he was played by Brother Wu without realizing it. It can be seen that it is all about talking about war on paper and is of no use."

Cao Cao smiled slightly: "You haven't left the capital yet. I have already inspected the three-pronged expedition. I will know how many troops and horses each route has and who will lead the troops. In this battle, I know myself and the enemy. You don't know yourself or the enemy. This is

The defeat of the war has long been doomed, and it does not depend on how well you use your troops."

Guan Sheng nodded again, opened his eyes, looked at Cao Cao, and said with a wry smile: "Guan has eaten Song Lu after all."

Cao Cao said: "If the Song Dynasty does not come to attack, I will not go to destroy it. Wu Mou has already said it before. He only wants to support the country and bring peace to the people. He is not trying to rebel."

Guan Sheng nodded deeply, leaned down and bowed down: "In that case, Guan is willing to surrender, and he will die without regrets."

Cao Cao raised his head and laughed, walked over to help him up, and said with a cheerful and contented face: "Hahaha, there is a long way to go... I have someone to help me, so that I can worry about the difficult road ahead. Hahahaha."

Guan Sheng's joy at seeing Cao Cao came from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but be secretly grateful: Unexpectedly, Brother Wu valued such a person so much. With his abilities, why not sell him?

Looking back at Xuan Zan: "Brother Xian, what are your plans? If you don't intend to be here, Brother Yu will ask Brother Wu for mercy and let you go back."

A bitter smile appeared on Xuan Zan's ugly face: "Go back? I don't want to go back. I think since my brother is willing to surrender to 'Wu Mengde', he will not misjudge the person. If he doesn't give up, I will surrender as soon as possible."

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "I have heard for a long time that the name of 'Chou Commandery Horse' is so powerful at home and abroad. Now that I have gained the throne, I am like a tiger with added wings."

After hearing this, Xuan Zan fell down and bowed down. Cao Cao helped him up. Lu Junyi stood up and said with a smile, "Congratulations, dear brother, I have gained two more Shezhe brothers."

Li Kui also smiled and said: "How can we not drink wine or write poems for such a happy event?"

Guan Sheng glanced at the rude man in surprise and said quickly: "Brother, you can drink wine anytime. It's just that my sworn brother Hao Siwen was trapped in the battle before or was captured by Liangshan. He is a solid-minded man and doesn't know how to adapt.

If he doesn't see me, he will refuse to surrender. I'm afraid that he will offend the leaders on Liangshan Mountain. There are also Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui. They are also wizards in the army. I hope that my brother will take pity on his bravery and spare his life."

Cao Cao immediately said: "Brother Shi Qian, please ride your horse back to the mountain. If General Hao is captured, everyone must spare his life. In Wei, it's normal for just two of them."

He turned to Guan Sheng and said, "You two have been working so hard, and even the horses can't bear it. Just feel free to use some food and wine, and let the innkeeper drink and feed the horses. I will move back here sometimes to report the news, so of course nothing will go wrong."

Guan Sheng nodded gratefully, clasped his fists at Shi Qian and said, "Brother Shi Qian, please do me a favor!"

When Shi Qian saw Guan Sheng Zhili, he was also very happy. He patted his chest and said, "We are all brothers, how can we not do our best? Brother Guan, don't worry, Shi Qian will go!" After saying that, he jumped out of the back window. After a while, the horse's hooves galloped away.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao took Guan Sheng and others, said goodbye to Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, and planned to go to Liangshan.

Zhu Tong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly bowed down and said: "Brother, after we have been together for a few days, I have learned a lot from my brother's teachings, so that I can understand the world today. The Emperor of the Zhao family originally had an unjust country, and now he is even more ignorant and treacherous. I love my country. Although I am not a hero, I am not willing to serve him. If I don’t think my brother is dull, I am willing to go to Liangshan together to join in righteousness."

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He took Zhu Tong and held his hand and said: "Brother, you are an extraordinary person. Why don't I want your help? It's just because you are a wealthy local and live a peaceful life. I can't bear to have the knife head licked by me." He has a bloody career, so he has never said anything."

Zhu Tong said with emotion: "If a man has learned a lot of skills, who wouldn't want to meet the Ming Lord and make contributions? If it were an ordinary matter, I would naturally not want to. However, I see that my brother is really the Ming Lord of the world, so I am willing to follow him. As for the small family, I am willing to follow him. And move to Liangshan, why not?"

When Lei Heng saw this, he had some thoughts in his mind. On the one hand, he saw Cao Cao changing the clouds and rain, destroying the three armies of the imperial court while talking and laughing, and even Guan Sheng, Wen Da and others surrendered to Liangshan; on the other hand, he had always been convinced by Zhu Dian's vision. Loyalty, seeing that Zhu Tong surrendered without hesitation, he immediately wanted to surrender.

He said secretly: I have lived happily in Yuncheng County for many years, killing cattle, gambling, and working as a boss. Although I have made a lot of money, a man who comes to this world cannot just end up as a rich man! I will never end up being a rich man. I have never seen Zhu Tong admire someone so wholeheartedly. He is so old and willing to fall off the grass. It shows that the brother of the Wu family is really extraordinary and will need to do something big in the future. Forget it, his beautiful beard voted for Liu Bei. How can I not do it even if I am a tiger with wings? Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun?

At that moment, his body moved, and he wanted to bow down, but suddenly he remembered that Chao Gai was so friendly with him. He tried hard to stay before, but he refused in the name of his mother. Now that he went back, Chao Gai didn't care about his face. nice.

What kind of person is Cao Cao? With a glance, he immediately understood Lei Heng's mood. He put down the steps with a smile and said, "Brother Zhu Dian is willing to accompany you. It's a blessing for Mr. Wu! Brother Lei Heng, Brother Yu has something to say, please listen carefully."

Lei Heng said: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you say so."

Cao Cao said: "You and Zhu Tong have been inseparable from Meng for many years, and Meng is inseparable from Jiao. Now that he has gone up the mountain, you will definitely be jealous if you stay in Yuncheng County. Although you are unwilling to leave the grass easily in order to honor your mother, However, people are not in control of things in this world. If those who are greedy for merit report them, arrest them and torture them, won’t they harm the young and old? It will turn filial piety into bad things.”

After hearing this, Lei Heng said happily: "Ah, what my brother said is right! In that case, I have no choice but to join you and others for a reunion!"

Cao Cao said: "That's the best. Guan Sheng and others like me and others will go ahead and leave two brothers, Yan Qing and Jiao Ting, to help you. We moved the two families and came to Liangshan to join us!"

Lei Heng immediately clasped his fists and said, "It's all on my little brother! Brother Zhu Tong, just go ahead and rest assured. My brothers will take care of things at home."

Zhu Tong saw that this was Cao Cao helping Lei Heng to do some minor work, so he asked him to cover his face, and said with a smile: "Brother, I can rest assured when doing things."

Now everyone divided into two groups, one went to move the old and the young, and the other went straight back to Liangshan.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Chao Gai heard that he had persuaded General Guan Sheng to surrender and brought Zhu Tong with him. He was overjoyed and ordered all the generals to come down the mountain to pick him up. He laughed from a distance and said: "Brother Wu, it all depends on strategizing.

Now that all the armies and horses of the three armies have disappeared, and many extravagant heroes have been obtained, the great prosperity of Liangshan is in sight!"

Cao Cao also smiled and said: "What does it have to do with me? It's not because the King of Heaven led the brothers to help. When the news comes back, the traitors in the court will be frightened. In a year or two, they will not dare to look at us seriously."

When all the generals heard this, they all laughed happily.

There are different teachings: Tigers return to their hearts and cross great rivers, heroes gather for righteousness and forge great passes. White snakes spread dangerous news thousands of miles, and heroes go to Huashan in great glory.
