Chapter 5 Yanggu County Dutou Wuhan University

When he returned home, it was already dusk. Pan Jinlian did not light any lights and sat alone in the twilight. When he saw Cao Cao coming back, he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream and said, "Da Lang is back. You must be hungry. Let's do it now."

meal."

Cao Cao put down the book, took her hand and said, "I'm not busy."

He took out the gold hairpin from his arms, put it in her bun, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Beauties also need to dress up, but it's a pity that I am in trouble now, otherwise you would have to be dressed in beautiful clothes and wear eight treasures to be suitable for your appearance."

Pan Jinlian touched the golden hairpin and couldn't help but have mixed feelings. She shed tears and said, "My family wanted to buy a silver hairpin in the past, but you said I didn't know how to live. Now, how can you be willing to buy me such a gold hairpin?"

Cao Cao said sternly: "In the past, you were the wife of a commoner, but now you are an orphan. The reasons are naturally different."

Pan Jinlian burst into tears and said with a smile: "If you want to divorce me, you are the same, if you want to pamper me, you are the same, but you are not making trouble."

After saying that, she went to wash rice and cook. It seemed that a golden hairpin really put her in a good mood. She was humming a ditty softly while she was busy.

Cao Cao lit the oil lamp, hurriedly flipped through the history books, and thought to himself: "Pi'er has indeed become emperor, and he has given me the posthumous title of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu of Wei. Haha, I hate that Pi'er has a limited mind and cannot accommodate his brothers. If he is willing to reuse Huang

Xu'er, how can you make the Sima family bigger? Sima Yi looks down upon the wolf, and Gu has indeed never mistrusted him. His son has usurped the foundation of the Wei Dynasty. Is this the retribution of my family for usurping the Han Dynasty? "

When he saw Wu Hu messing with China and crossing south in his clothes, he couldn't help but get angry: "How dare the Hu people do this! Huh, the descendants of the Sima family are so unworthy that they let the Hu'er roar in the Central Plains and hate me. If I have the powerful soldiers in my hands, I will

Their clan must be wiped out."

Angrily watching the unification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Fang nodded and said: "This Li Shimin is indeed a talented and strategic emperor, but killing his brother and imprisoning his father is not what a man should do."

Seeing Wu Zhou usurping the Tang Dynasty again, he couldn't help but be shocked and stunned: "The harem is in power, and it is very ominous. Who would have thought that this woman actually became the emperor? It is really a strange story through the ages, but she did a good job."

Secretly imagining how charming Wu Zhao would be, I couldn't help but feel itchy.

When he saw the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Liao and Song Dynasties standing side by side, he kept shaking his head: "Qin, Han, Tang, and the unified country of Jiuzhou, it's just a big name. The Song Dynasty cannot swallow the Liao and destroy the Xia, but also needs to give away coins as a gift.

Is buying peace worthy of being called great?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw the book away and cursed: "The descendants are incompetent! Have they forgotten our heroic spirit of 'one Han is like five barbarians' and 'will be killed no matter how far away'? I was thinking of the Song Dynasty."

If the emperor is a hero, what if I am a loyal minister in this life? But how can such a despicable person be worthy of serving Cao?"

In the midst of his rage, someone suddenly kicked the door of his house with a loud bang. Cao Cao raised his sword and opened the door. There were twenty or thirty men outside the door. Each of them was holding a wooden stick or an iron fork, and they shouted: "Wuda, Wuhan University,

If you offend a noble person, today is the day you die."

Cao Cao shouted: "Did Ximen Qing ask you to come?"

The faces of those people changed and they shouted: "We don't know any high-ranking officials from Ximen. We are heroes from Liangshan Mountain. We heard you were unjust and came here to get rid of you!"

Cao Cao laughed and said: "The heroes of Liangshan came to attack me, who sells cooking cakes? What a generous act." He shouted: "My neighbors will testify for me, these people are gangs of thieves and strongmen who entered the county town to rob homes and houses."

Those people shouted: "You screamed until your throat was broken, and no one dared to save you, so just accept death."

Pan Jinlian heard the noise inside the door and ran to the door to take a look. She was so frightened that she stretched out her hand to pull Cao Cao hard: "Dalang, close the door quickly." Then she screamed: "Come here, report to the official, the robbers are killing people."

La."

Cao Cao touched her face and praised: "It's like a good woman to protect me like this. But don't worry, I had expected that Ximen Qing would not pay the money obediently, so I bought this sword in my hand."

After saying that, he pushed Pan Jinlian in, pulled out the sword with his right hand, jumped out of the door and shouted: "Come up if you are not afraid of death!"

When those people saw his short stature and the shining sword in his hand, they all laughed: "Three inches of T-bone bark, are you going to make a big show?"

A man held a stick and hit him on the head. Cao Cao turned to the side to avoid it, and with a sword in his hand, it pierced the man's heart.

The rest were shocked and shouted: "Wu Dalang killed someone!" One by one, they held up their swords and beat them in all directions. Cao Cao didn't care. He jumped up and rushed into the crowd. He saw a sharp blue light and screamed with blood.

, broken arms and legs fell one after another.

Cao Cao also worked as a ranger when he was young. His swordsmanship was passed down from an expert and was honed in actual combat. How could he be matched by these gangsters?

In just a few breaths, six people were killed and seven were maimed. The rest were so frightened that they dispersed when they saw how brave he was.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao had short legs and no mount, so he was unable to pursue him. He wiped his sword on the corpse and returned it to its sheath.

At this time, the neighbors dared to open the door cautiously, but they were frightened to death when they saw corpses strewn on the ground.

Cao Cao shouted: "My dear neighbors, don't be alarmed. These thieves invaded the county and killed them without any fault. They all followed me to carry the bodies and went to the county government office to ask for merit."

Seeing him standing majestically in the middle of the street, the neighbors just lost their fear and called their friends one by one. In an instant, dozens of people gathered, lifted up the dead and wounded, and headed straight to the county government office.

Along the way, the news spread wildly, alarming the whole county. People said: "The gang invaded the county, and the gods protected them. They got into Wu Da's body and killed and injured dozens of people with flying swords."

By the time we arrived at the county government office, there was already a sea of ​​people holding lanterns and torches, making it look like daylight.

The likes of Yao Wenqing, Zhao Zhongming, and Hu Zhengqing, with their chests held high and their bellies folded, would talk vividly to everyone about how they and others were not afraid of danger and how they fought against bandits.

Cao Cao also learned what kind of place Liangshan was during the discussion. He rolled his eyes slightly and immediately asked for paper and pen to write a piece of paper.

It was written: "Ximen Qing, a wealthy family in this county, has been disobedient for a long time and secretly planned to kill soldiers. On a certain day of a certain month, Ximen Qing had an affair with Liangshan bandits, and they cooperated with others to attack the county. The county leader heard the report in advance and ordered the righteous soldiers to fight.

Zhi led all the warriors to lie in ambush in advance, waiting for the enemy bandits to arrive. They made a noise and rushed out. The county magistrate rushed into the formation in person, shouting, "Why die to repay the officials?" The morale of the army became stronger, but the thieves' spirit weakened, and they fled in a huge rout, leaving several corpses...

…”

Not long after, the county magistrate opened his office, and everyone rushed in, handing in the petition, along with the prisoners, corpses, weapons and other belongings. When the county magistrate heard that the Liangshan bandits who had broken into the county were defeated, he couldn't help being surprised and happy. He looked at the petition again.

, even more so with joy and excitement on his face.

After a quick interrogation, the captives confessed that they and others were gangsters from the villages and towns, and Ximen Qing had given money to them to kill Wu Zhi, falsely claiming to be Liangshan bandits.

When the county magistrate heard this, he was mostly overjoyed. Cao Cao looked on coldly and suddenly shouted loudly: "Nonsense! You are clearly the Liangshan bandits. You are the 'Magic Sword' Li Si, you are the 'King of Hell' Zhang San, he is

"One stick knocks down the mountain" Wang Wu, the one who lost his head is "one punch breaks the monument" Saturday, they are all famous murderers in the world, you and others are clearly colluding with Ximen Qing's fellow inside and outside, you want to attack Yanggu first

County, and then attack Dongping Prefecture, and then establish a country to rebel against the Song Dynasty, you Liangshan chieftains, chieftains..."

Just as he was about to make it up, the magistrate reminded him: "Chao Gai, the 'King of Pagodas'!"

Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and continued: "Yes, the big leader Chao Gai, the King of Tota, has established himself as the king of Daliang, and granted Ximen Qingna the title of King of Side by Side. The county magistrate has already been able to find out this information clearly and make arrangements.

We, the volunteers, will set up an ambush to defeat Ruliang Mountain first, then wipe out Ximen Qing, and confiscate his thousands of possessions, home, and private belongings! Do you still want to hide it?"
