Lao Cao transforms into Li Dunzi

Since Cao Cao sent out troops, Chao Gai naturally no longer stayed, and immediately led his brothers back to the mountain. They all happened to be traveling together for several days, and arrived at Liangshan.

When the heroes who stayed behind on the mountain got the news, they were all overjoyed and came down the mountain to greet him. They could only hear calls for brothers and it was quite lively again.

Chao Gai was the most lively person, and his mood suddenly became high. He pulled Lao Cao and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, we are still in the New Year, and the weather is cold. How about we go up the mountain and gather for a few more days. After the New Year is out, how about we fight for him again?"

."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "My king, you have been drinking and getting drunk every day, how can you still drink even a drop? I won't go up the mountain. I will wait for my master to return, and the brothers will conspire to get drunk together."

When Chao Gai saw that he was determined, he reluctantly left and let everyone go. After walking for more than ten miles, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother, stay here and go out to play, why don't you take your little brother with you!"

Cao Cao turned around and saw an eight-foot-old man wearing iron armor and riding astride an inferior horse. He hooked a pen knife in victory and ran towards the future with a smile on his face: "Brother, stay here. I will go with you to conquer Fang La Ye!"

This person is not someone else. There is a hymn that just talks about this person’s benefits——

Born to be as fierce as a tiger, he rode his horse and swung his sword to devour Xia captives.

The fierce and heroic spirit inspires strong ambition, and the sonorous and iron courage boasts of mighty power.

He single-handedly defeated a large formation and saved the lives of many people, and stormed into the chief's camp to beat the drums of war.

In anger, all the demons were subdued, and the Liangshan god general poured down Han Wu!

When Cao Cao saw Han chasing after him with five horses, he had to stop his troops and waited for him to come near. He said helplessly: "Brother, it's not that I'm a fool who refuses to take you. It's just that I've said it before. Anyone who has served as a general in the imperial court will not take you."

He is just afraid that someone will find out."

Han Wu glared and said: "Brother, don't try to trick me. Like Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, etc., the whole world knows that he has descended to Liangshan, so naturally he dare not take him out. However, my younger brother eloped with Duan Sanniang that day. Who knew that I

Then he went to Liangshan? Isn’t it enough that I became a deserter? That’s one of the reasons! Second, they are all famous officers and generals, and my younger brother is just a general of the Western Army. How many people can recognize it? That’s when I met Mr. Liu.

I’m not afraid, I’ll just miss his old man and come back to serve as a soldier. Can he bite my eggs?”

When Cao Cao thought about it, it seemed that this was also the case. When Han Shizhong abducted Duan Sanniang and ran away, leaving a letter to say goodbye to Liu Yanqing, Lao Liu burned his letter on the spot, filled in the word "missing" on the roster, and now claimed to be fighting in the army.

He was injured and separated, but now he has recovered and returned to the team, so why not?

After thinking through this point, he nodded and said: "Brother, your plan is not bad, but Duan Sanniang, your family, loves you so much, how can you let you go so easily?"

When Han Shizhong saw that Lao Cao didn't chase him away, he immediately showed a smile and winked: "To be honest with you brother, my wife is a big-bellied woman. Between the curtains of the bed, one person can be as good as five ordinary women. Although I am a

The body made of copper and iron cannot withstand her spending her days and nights. Brother, why don’t you see that my younger brother has lost weight? Let’s go out to fight with him and nurse him back to health - I don’t want to see my younger brother die young, right?”

After hearing this, Lao Cao couldn't help but touch his face. He felt that the tentacles were all hard bones. He thought that Han Wu's words were true. As long as you work hard, the iron pestle can be ground into an embroidery needle. I miss me, Lao Cao, out in the wind, frost and snow.

Despite the rain and running around, I never lost weight. After returning home for months, drinking and eating meat every day, I lost a lot of weight. It can be seen that a good woman wastes a lot of money!

He smiled and said: "In the past, Lu Chunyang's poem said that the beautiful body of the twenty-eight-year-old woman was as soft as a stick, and she had a sword at her waist to kill a fool. Haha, my lady has a mace at her waist, which is ten times more powerful and evil than the sword. No wonder you ran out.

."

The two men felt sorry for each other, and after a while, they let Han Shizhong join the army, pretending to be a partial general, and the army set off again.

We traveled all the way and stayed overnight for more than a day, and finally drove outside Bianjing City, only to see that there were densely packed camps along the river. At a glance, the ground and the sky were endless.

Cao Cao sighed: "It seems that we arrived a little late. I am afraid that all the more than 100,000 Western troops have arrived."

He summoned Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and Du Bo, who were nominally his three generals after all, and asked them to go to the Chinese army camp to ask for an audience with Liu Yanqing. Because these three were not clever, they would not be able to avoid giving repeated instructions.

I was afraid that someone would tell the truth and leak out that I was mixed up in the camp, but I would be in trouble all my life.

Lu Junyi was the most honest person and worried: "Brother, according to the rules of the army, when I go here, I need to hand in the roster of all the troops under my command. Maybe there will be a military disciplinary officer to count people according to the roster. When the brother is called, how can I

No secrets?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just use the other person's name."

He glanced at the generals and suddenly asked: "Hey, I haven't seen Li Dunzi since I left Qingzhou. Who knows where he is?"

Who is this Li Dunzi? He was originally the commander of the Chenzhou army. Last year he accompanied Tong Guan to pacify Wang Qing. He was the commander of the army and horsemen of this state and was killed by the thieves' fierce general Su Jian. The army was temporarily in disarray.

Tong Guan personally charged into the formation and came back with courage. With a hob in his hand, he killed the Huaixi bandit general Ji Sansi.

Later, Chen Zhoubing was transferred to Lao Cao's command. In the battle of Fangzhou, it was this man again. In the melee, he killed Liu Yijing, a famous general among thieves, and was promoted to deputy general based on his merits.

Later, Lao Cao was promoted to Jiedushi and was ordered to form the Qingzhou Army. Originally, most of the Chenzhou soldiers returned home, but Li Dunzi was willing to stay in the army and officially became Lao Cao's tribe. During the conquest of Tianhu, he participated in the killing of thieves.

Generals Wu Cheng and Zhong Liang worked together to capture Yun Zongwu alive, which indeed made a great contribution and impressed Lao Cao deeply.

Seeing Lao Cao asking about this person, Du Bo smiled and said, "Brother, have you forgotten? In the days when you first came back, Li Dunzi also went with me to visit my brother's house."

When Cao Cao was mentioned by him, he immediately remembered it and said with a smile: "Yes, this guy is brave in battle, but his drinking capacity is not good. He will get drunk after just a few drinks."

Du Bo nodded repeatedly: "It was this drunkenness that actually led to a good relationship! That day he left his brother's mansion and was top-heavy and couldn't walk. It was his younger brother who supported him and took a rest in the teahouse of the old lady next to him.

I went back and ordered two cups of sobering tea. While I was drinking, a young lady like a flower came to join Po Wang. She said she was an old friend of that Po Wang's in Yanggu County, named Zhang Xixi. She spoke in a gentle and gentle manner.

, that fellow Dunzi looked straight through his eyes."

She said with a bright smile: "Wang Po is a warm-hearted person. After hearing that Zhang Xixi had never promised to marry anyone, she immediately praised Dunzi and said that he was highly valued by his brother. He went out to fight several times and fought hard, and made great achievements. Thanks to his brother's grace, he

He also saved thousands of dollars in family property, and he was honest and honest. It was a pity that there was no lady in the room to take care of him. When Zhang Xixi heard this, he became shy at that time, biting the handkerchief in his hand and keeping silent, and whispered

He turned his head and only looked at brother Dunzi secretly."

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. Don't he remember this Zhang Xixi? She was Ximen Qing's wife. After Ximen Qing was killed by him, he had no one to rely on, so he went to Wang Po as a matchmaker to hook up with Cao Cao. Cao Cao thought her behavior was romantic.

, pretending not to understand what she meant, and just told her to go to the Hero Building to perform and sing if she had no livelihood.

Later, Wang Po moved to Qingzhou with the Wu family, thinking that there would be no more entanglements. Unexpectedly, this woman was also thoughtful and chased her to Qingzhou. She still asked Wang Po to help find a lonely old man. Unexpectedly, she met Li

Dunzi.

This Du Bo seems to be an honest person, and he actually said that Zhang Xixi is shy. That woman is from Lu Qi, and she is a concubine for famous people like Ximen Qing. I am afraid that one hundred and eight postures have been unlocked.

The so-called shyness is just a way to show off coquettishness. It is difficult for him and Li Dunzi to see clearly.

I secretly sighed for Dunzi, and couldn't help but be curious: "What happened next?"

Du Bo said with a smile: "Later Dunzi promised Wang Po one hundred guan and asked her to be a matchmaker and marry Zhang Xixi back to his family. Alas, this boy is also lucky. He married a man who understands both love and warmth, and who understands both lightness and weight.

A virtuous lady."

Cao Cao was dumbfounded when he heard this: "How can you tell the pain and heat and the severity?"

Du Bu said seriously: "Dunzi is alone in Qingzhou. According to my younger brother's wishes, he should ask his elder brother to make the decision for him and preside over the wedding. But his bride heard this and refused in every possible way. She said that my elder brother is

General, there are so many important things to be done, how can we easily disturb them? The two brothers have not been at home for more than a year, and their wives and children have to be with them at home, so they should not cause trouble. Therefore, I only invited a few people and neighbors to have a small celebration.

"Brother, think about it, most women in the world love vanity. Who wouldn't want someone like my brother to preside over a wedding? But she knows what's right. Isn't this virtuous?"

Cao Cao was speechless and nodded, knowing in his heart: This woman was afraid that he would reveal her true identity, so how could she dare to allow him to officiate at the wedding?

Du Bo thought that Cao Cao nodded and agreed with his point of view, so he continued to praise: "Dunzi's bridal chamber was stained with blood on the white cloth, but she was a real young lady. Isn't this a good match sent by God? Dunzi has been working hard for half his life, but he has not yet established a family.

Now that I have met this beautiful woman, I am really afraid of melting away, and I am afraid of losing him. When my younger brother saw that he was newly married, he couldn't leave him. On this expedition, he deliberately did not pick him up, and asked him to seize the time to keep a boy and a girl.

It won’t be too late to fight with me.”

Yellow flower girl... Lao Cao sighed and thought that since he felt happy, why should he be a bad person? However, Mrs. Wang did not do this in a very honest way, and he would need to talk to her about it when he got back.

He shook his head to get rid of these distracting thoughts and said: "Well, since Dunzi never came, I will pretend to be Li Dunzi during this southern expedition. With an army of hundreds of thousands, can Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing see me?"

Now that Lao Cao had made up his mind, Wu Song and others naturally obeyed. The three of them immediately took a deputy, namely Yan Qing, Yang Zaixing, and Niu Gao, six men and six horses, and rushed to the Chinese army camp.

More than two hours later, when the sky darkened, the six of them returned and reported to Cao Cao: "Liu Jiedu is nostalgic and said a lot about his brother, but Tong Guan ordered the generals of the three of us and called me three.

Lead the troops and horses of our headquarters and act as the vanguard of the army. After replenishing our army's food supplies tomorrow, we will send out troops the day after tomorrow and go straight to capture Runzhou so that the army can cross the river."

After Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood Tong Guan's plan: He had been in command of the Western Army for a long time and regarded it as the foundation of his power. He had previously promoted Cao Cao to build the Qingzhou Army. His original intention was not to put all the eggs in one basket, but to cultivate another force that could compete with the Western Army.

The countervailing force thought it was balanced, but unfortunately he was "trapped in the Jin Kingdom", so he changed his mind about the Qingzhou Army and regarded it as expendable. He wanted to use the bravery of Wu, Lu and others to break up the Jiangnan pattern and teach the Western Army to make great achievements easily.

He immediately sneered and said: "It's a good calculation. They are all Western troops, but I, the thousands of people, can be regarded as guest troops. Now they teach us how to chew the bones, but they are good at eating meat. It's a pity that they underestimated my brothers in the end.

They want me to chew the bones, but I will tell them that they have no merit! Let’s see who is in a hurry then.”

The next day, the grain and fodder were indeed delivered, and the quantity was counted, and the shortfall was only a mere 30%. This shows that although Tong Guan wants to use them for consumables, he is quite sincere.

Another day, just after the fifth watch, Lao Cao immediately sent out troops. More than 3,000 people formed a long snake formation, took the dry road, traveled southeast, and headed straight for Yangzhou!

This is exactly what it means: Counting yourself before counting your enemies will lead to endless internal friction. The ambition of a proud dragon is in the white clouds, while the thoughts of snakes and rats are in the sewage.
