Chapter 331 Another hero goes to sea

"On November 10, the first year of Chonghe, under the rule of Dengzhou, the owner of Maojiazhuang, 'Tan Shanhu' Mao Shan, and his son 'Black Heart Wolf' Mao Zhongyi colluded with his son-in-law Kong Mu 'Shi Wenrong' Wang Zheng in the sixth case.

, falsely accused the brothers Xie, a good local Orion. The prefect Zhou clearly understood the details, decided the case on the spot, found out the truth, and cleared the Xie family, and convicted Mao Shan of the crime of falsely accusing his beloved."

"Mao Shan was furious and roared in the hall: 'Whoever dares to sin against me will be killed!' Then he led nearly a hundred people with him, each armed with weapons, and rushed into the court to kill him. He appointed himself as a yamen servant below the prefect Zhou.

More than thirty people were all killed by Mao Shan and others."

On the Kongmu desk, there was ready-made pen and ink. Cao Cao wrote the above content calmly on the paper one stroke at a time. Looking up, he saw Song Jiang grabbing the prefect Zhou's hair and shouting strangely: "I want this from you."

Damn it, let’s see how you still take away my clothes!” He stabbed me randomly with the knife in his hand like a windmill, causing a honeycomb to form in Zhou Zhifu’s chest and abdomen, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose.

Xie Zhen and Jie Bao slowly moved their muscles and bones, picked up the steel fork, with a ferocious smile on their faces. Mao Taigong and his son hugged each other, crying: "God, please open your eyes, so confusing right and wrong, and openly killing good villains.

Doesn't anyone care about him?"

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were framed by him for nothing and hated him and his son to the core. They deliberately waited patiently for him to finish shouting. When they were completely desperate, they stabbed the fork fiercely, instantly poking more than ten bloody holes in both his father and son. Wang

Just as he was about to run away to the back hall, Jie Bao flew up and hit his thigh, causing him to roll to the ground. Jie Zhen caught up and struck him hard.

Lin Chong and others also went on a killing spree, killing all the official servants in the hall, as well as the men of the Mao family village outside, until rivers of blood flowed from them.

Cao Cao dipped his hand in ink and continued writing: "After Mao Shan killed the officials, he gathered a crowd and shouted: 'Emperor Song is unjust, and we are rebelling against him.' Just as he was about to make a big move, he happened to meet Song Jiang, the general manager of the Dengzhou Army and Horses Division, who came to the government office.

, looked at it and became angry, angrily scolded Mao Shan and others: "The Holy Emperor is in the court, the world is peaceful, you are rebelling, and you are unpopular." Then he took out his clothes and short sword and fought with the rebels."

Song Jiang threw the dead Magistrate Zhou on the ground, looked at the blood on his clothes and hands, his eyes shone with strange light, and Jie Jie smiled strangely: "It's so good, so good! I kill the dog official today, and I have lived up to my hard work in practicing this martial arts since I was a child."

.”

Cao Cao looked at him and smiled, and then wrote: "Song Jiang, a native of Yanggu, with the courtesy name Fuzhou. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has extraordinary courage. When he was fifteen years old, he was plowing the fields. When he saw two cattle horns touching, the owner of the cattle screamed and cried.

No one dared to approach. Song Jiang said with emotion: "The cow is the foundation of agriculture. How can you sit back and watch fighting to death? I will explain it to you." He stepped forward bravely, holding a horn of the cow in each hand, and shouted loudly,

The two bulls retreated together, and their fight resolved itself. The villagers were surprised, and Song Jiang's reputation for bravery and justice gradually spread to Shandong."

As I write this, all the villagers and government officials are dead. Only one of them, Dudu, wielding a pair of iron rulers, is fighting fiercely with Jiao Ting.

Jiao Ting danced two swords. His double-sword technique was taught by Wu Erlang himself. He had practiced hard for half a year and had become quite proficient. When it was running, it was like a silver ball of light rolling around on the ground. However, he was a little dizzy.

With his help, the two iron rulers turned into two black lights, tightly protecting the whole body, and they jingled and jingled for a while.

Lin Chong and others watched the two of them fighting with smiles. Only Song Jiang rarely killed one person. The bloody aura rushed out, and his murderous intent doubled. Seeing that Jiao Ting could not win, he picked up a fire stick on the ground and danced it up and down.

A stick flower shouted: "Jiao Ting, don't panic, Song is here!"

Cao Cao nodded and wrote faster: "Song Jiang always had the ambition to serve the country. When he was still in his prime, he went to Bianjing and found out where the Taiwei Mansion was. It happened that the late Gao Taiwei returned to the house and blocked the way to recommend himself. Gao Taiwei was surprised.

With his courage and strategy, he was sent to the palace to test his military strategy. Song Jiang responded fluently, and he also asked the generals in the palace to compete with him. Song Jiang defeated twelve generals in the Taiwei's palace in a row. The Taiwei loved his talent, so he joined the army and ordered him to Dengzhou.

War general, he will be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division through meritorious deeds."

Song Jiang rushed into the formation, poking, smashing, sweeping, and beating with a stick, which messed up Jiao Ting's sword skills. Fortunately, that guy was also very stupid and didn't realize that Song Jiang was a pig teammate. He slapped him two feet away, forcing Song Jiang to

The water-fire stick suddenly kicked up and kicked Song Jiang like a gourd on the ground. He fell into seventeen or eighty somersaults and screamed in pain.

This immediately angered Hua Rong, who raised an arrow and shot Na Dutou in the wrist. Jiao Ting took the opportunity to kill him on the spot with a knife.

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, and continued to write: "Song Jiang was talented in both civil and military affairs, and was also good at herding people and managing government. The prefect Zhou regarded him as a good teacher and helpful friend, and the two of them had frequent contacts. On this day, Song Jiang came to visit friends, but he saw the prefect martyred for his country and rebelled against thieves.

How can he bear this madness? Although he is alone and only armed with short soldiers, he has the loyalty to serve his country and kill thieves and the loyalty to avenge his friends. He attacks the crowd with a small number and shouts for fierce battle. Every time he strikes with a sword, he will kill a thief.

The thieves were hard-pressed to defeat Song Jiang, so he exclaimed: "There are Song boats in the world, and our lives are in danger! I hate to meet Director Song, but our lives are short." The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and nearly a hundred rebel thieves were all killed by Song Jiang.

The chaos has calmed down since then.”

After finishing writing, he put the pen down, gently blew the ink stains dry, and waved: "Brother, what do you think of this letter of mine? I hand it to Tong Guan, and he will praise you for your contribution."

Song Jiang asked curiously: "What credit?" He took the paper and read it, his face turned red immediately, as if he was drunk, and he said shyly: "Oh, brother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you praise me too much."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Since you love to be an official, you have to learn this skill. After all, I learned this from Tong Guan. Haha, it turns out that the credit of this dynasty depends on how well the story is told."

After saying these words, Song Jiang, Lin Chong and others all sighed.

Cao Cao said: "It's not our turn to think too much about the Zhao family's affairs. Let's make some arrangements here. Brother Song Jiang went to find Sun An, and Ma Zheng came. They are local defense envoys and regimental training envoys, so they are just doing the job.

A testimony.”

Not long after, Sun An and Ma Zheng arrived one after another. Sun An was naturally overjoyed to see Cao Cao, but Ma Zheng was shocked. He pointed at the corpses on the ground with blood stains and said, "How can we talk about this?"

Cao Cao said calmly: "I brought people here today, and I heard loud killing sounds at the door, but it was Mao Taigong and his son who were leading people to surround and kill Song Fuzhou. Fuzhou is an old friend of mine. Seeing that he was in danger, he naturally helped me. As brothers of mine

They were all wolves and tigers, and they killed all these madmen in an instant, and then I realized that it was like this... I thought it was useless for me to take this credit, so I just gave it all to Fuzhou."

As he spoke, he recounted the process of his previous fabrication. Sun An didn't care about the truth or falsehood at all, and casually echoed: "I see, you really deserve to die." After that, he drew a mark on the paper written by Cao Cao.

Ma Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, instinctively feeling that there was fraud in it - since he had the courage to kill an official in public, did he still need to make false accusations against two hunters?

However, in his opinion, it was just a prefect who died. How he died was not important. What was important was that the cross-sea alliance must not be compromised. Therefore, he did not want to offend Cao Cao. After thinking about it for a moment, he quickly signed the bond and pledged to Cao Cao.

Said: "Rebellion is a serious crime. Once you have done it, you must pursue it to the end!"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Brother Song will handle this matter himself."

Song Jiang immediately responded: "It all depends on my little brother, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, you two are familiar with each other, please help me take care of this matter."

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao nodded, and walked up to Cao Cao first. The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and the two brothers bowed deeply: "Today, I am relying on your Excellency Zhou Quan. My brothers will be rewarded for this kindness."

Cao Cao knew that they recognized him and said with a smile: "You're welcome. Real men don't know each other without fighting. Since you are brothers of Song Xiandi, you are also brothers of my Wu Zhi."

The two looked grateful, nodded, and followed Song Jiang away.

At this time, Cao Cao asked Sun An to arrange accommodation for Lin Chong and others, and he accepted Ma Zheng's invitation and went to his house for a drink. Hu Yanqing was also there, and the three of them discussed the matter of going to sea. Hu Yanqing said happily: "Brother Wu, we will wait for you.

This mission was blessed by God! What do you think? In the Dengzhou Navy, there is a great shipwright named Meng Kang, who has built several strong ships capable of crossing the sea early, as well as two lieutenants in the Navy.

, called Li Jun and Zhang Shun, but they are all heroes who can ride the waves and fight dragons. With the help of these few, the storms on the sea will not be able to stop us."

Cao Cao was very happy and said: "Let me tell you to make you happy. These three people are all Wu's brothers. It is precisely because of his ability that Song Fuzhou was specially entrusted with Song Fuzhou's connections and placed in the Dengzhou Navy.

I tried to fight for their future, but unexpectedly, it was a mistake that was beneficial to the Prime Minister's great cause."

Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing were surprised at first, and then became more and more happy, saying: "No wonder the Prime Minister attaches so much importance to Brother Wu and calls you his lucky general. Looking at it today, it is indeed the case, hahahaha."

The three of them had a drink, agreed to set off on the 20th, and then dispersed.

When Cao Cao came out, Shi Qian and Zhou Tong were waiting in front of the door. Shi Qian looked around and said in a low voice: "Brother, after we say goodbye today, Song Fuzhou ordered a group of people to fill Taigong Mao's house."

The good and the bad were all killed, and the leader was Sun Li, the 'Sick Yuchi'."

Zhou Tong made a fuss and said: "It's strange to say that this group of people in Dengzhou are all from the same family. Sun Li's brother Sun Xin is called 'Little Yuchi', and his mother-in-law is called 'Mother Big Chong' Sister-in-law Gu.

Sister-in-law Gu's biological mother is the aunt of the "Two-Headed Snake" and the "Two-tailed Scorpion". The biological mother of the Jie brothers is also the aunt of Sun Li and Sun Xin, so the Sun brothers are their uncle and brother, Sun Xin.

It was their brother-in-law again, uncle and nephew Zou Yuan and Zou Run, but they were close friends with Sun Xin. As for Sun Li's mother-in-law, she was the biological sister of 'Tiejingzi' Lehe, and Lehe was Lao Chengying's prisoner.

My dear, brother Shi Xiu followed his path last time, but how did he know about their tortuous relationship? So he trapped the four of us."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Last time I captured Sun Li first, and Zongze was favored, so I was able to get the services of this hero. Now the Song Jiang brothers have already won over their group, and the Jie family brothers have received my favor again today.

The grievances and resentments among them are also very interesting."

Shi Qian smiled and said, "Brother can see this very clearly. Now they are all at Sun Xin's house. They have prepared a banquet and are waiting for my brother to go."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "After all the detours, I am still the one in my pocket! Let's go and meet the heroes in Dengzhou."

When Shi Qian and Zhou Tong led the way, the three of them all rode horses. After a while, they left the city and arrived at Sun Xin's house. They heard the sound of horse hooves and a group of heroes came out to greet them. Two of them looked coquettish and took off their clothes.

Each of them tied a handful of thorn sticks behind his back. When he saw Cao Cao, he knelt down first.

Cao Cao took a look and saw that it was Zou Yuan and Zou Run's uncle and nephew. These two had agreed to join Cao Cao before, but they later turned against him. Zou Run made it clear at the time, firstly because of his deep friendship with Sun Xin, and secondly because of Zong Ze.

Forgive the previous sins and let both of them do their jobs.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Oh, it turns out they are two Zou Dutou. Why do they look like this?"

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, both of their ugly faces were red. Zou Yuan said dejectedly: "To be honest, brother Wu, he got a position as head of the capital last year. Unexpectedly, Zong Tongpan was transferred away a few days later. That dog

The Japanese magistrate had always been at odds with him, and now he was out of business. The next day, he found an excuse to strip off his clothes, take away his token, and chase me away."

Zou Run lowered his eyebrows and said with drooping eyes: "After all, my uncle and I are ignorant of heroes, so today we are learning from Guan Yu and asking for forgiveness."

Cao Cao laughed, raised his foot and kicked him lightly: "It is Lian Po who is asking for forgiveness, what does it have to do with Guan Yu? That's all, in that dispute between us, I was the one who took Sun Tiha first, you and Sun Xin were the ones

My best friend, how can you not contribute to him? However, now my brother Wu Erlang has become Zong Lao’s grandson-in-law. When I was in Taiyuan, I also fought with Zong Lao side by side. You and I, Song Jiang, have become brothers.

You and I are already a family, why are we still doing this?"

After saying that, he bent down, untied the two people's thorns with his own hands, and helped them stand up.

Lao Cao's solution and support actually solved the knots in the minds of the heroes in Dengzhou, and what he helped with was the dignity of these people.

Sure enough, as the uncle and nephew of the Zou family stood up, everyone behind them immediately smiled. Sun Li was the first to clasp his fists and said: "As expected of the righteous and world-famous 'Wu Mengde'! My little brother Sun Li, meet my brother!"

After saying that, he knelt down. Behind him, Sun Xin, Sister-in-law Gu, Lehe, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao all knelt down.

Cao Cao quickly helped him up: "Since brothers are worthy of each other, there is no need to be so polite. Enter the house. Zhou Tong boasted that Sister Gu cooked good beef. I am going to have a feast today."

During the banquet, Cao Cao talked about everything that happened after the farewell. Hearing Sun Li and others exclaim in surprise, they all said in shock: "Wang Qing, Tian Hu and his people are not ordinary people in the world. They are all grass-headed kings. Maybe they will...

Those who can aspire to dominate the world have all fallen into my brother's hands. Many of his elite soldiers and generals have fallen into my brother's hands, and King Chao Tian of Liangshan is here to help me. Who else in the world can be my brother's rival?"

Cao Cao was half drunk. Hearing the words, he stood up and pointed to the north: "Brothers, don't just look at the Song Dynasty. The real danger is only in the north! The Jurchen soldiers and armors are so sharp that it is shocking to see them guarding the foothills in a battle at Dagang.
To be continued...
