Chapter 580: Windfall comes with unexpected misfortune

With Lao Cao's permission, Zhu Tong nodded and agreed to Murong Bo's request to send his remains to the east of Longcheng and be buried in Longshan.

Speaking of this Longshan, its origin is actually not trivial——

The ancestor of the Murong family, the former Emperor Murong Hui of Yan, saw two black and white dragons circling and dancing in this mountain. He thought it was auspicious, so he granted amnesty to the whole world and built the Longxiang Buddhist Temple on the mountain. It is so large that it is known as the first Buddhist temple outside the Guan.

Famous temples have their own eminent monks. Everyone knows that Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, and his reputation will last forever. In fact, two hundred years before him, there was a monk named Shi Tan Wujie in Longxiang Buddhist Temple who led 25 people to Tianzhu to seek the "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva".

According to the Prophecy Sutra, Longshan incense flourished and became the ancestral home of Buddhism outside the Pass.

In the original time and space, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Hongli, a mad poet nicknamed "Little Iron Bull", visited this place and wrote a poem "Passing through Chaoyang County". The poem said: Chaoyang County, the capital of Xingzhong, three

One of the pagodas is in ruins and the other two are still there. The ruins of the towers still carry the records of the Zhang family.

There is a saying that the quality of this poem may be slightly inferior to that of Qingzhou Poetry Immortal.

But Hongli's poem has a special meaning: Ya changed the name of Dragon City to Chaoyang, and took the meaning of "Fengming Chaoyang", and changed the name of Longshan in the east of the city to Phoenix Mountain, so that when we talk about it,

Even the people in Chaoyang didn't know what Longshan was, so they had to explain it - it was Fenghuang Mountain.

Let’s not talk about gossip for now.

Talking about Murong Bo alone, when Zhu Tong solemnly responded, he was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, his eyes showed gratitude, his body trembled slightly, and he sighed: "That's it! I have never had any good intentions in treating others in my life. Unexpectedly, heaven and earth pity me.

May I meet a gentleman before I die, but what can I say if I encounter such a situation?"

He looked at Lao Cao again and his voice became sharp: "I, Murong Bo, have always wanted to be strong in my life and compete with God for my destiny. I only hate that God's will is unpredictable. Even if I want to defeat it, I will never be able to win...'Wu Mengde', it is not you who defeats me, it is God's will."

Yeah! How could I die at the hands of rats! Hahahaha——"

Amidst the long and desolate laughter, he slowly raised his palm, and suddenly hit his Baihui Point with a heavy blow. Amidst the loud sound of bone cracking, blood oozed from his eyes, nostrils, and corners of his mouth. He rolled his eyes and that was it.

No breath left.

Qin Ming was shocked and said: "This old man is quite strong. He actually beat himself to death."

Zhang Jue was suspicious, so he cautiously stepped forward, pointed under his nose, and after concentrating for a long time, he sighed: "He is indeed dead! Hey, this guy is really happy."

Zhu Tong shook his head and said: "Actually, this person has extraordinary intelligence and superb martial arts. If it is not a delusion, how could he be like this?"

He wanted to step forward and collect his body for him.

Lao Cao suddenly said: "Brother, wait a minute."

Zhu Tong was stunned for a moment, then turned around, only to see Cao Cao's face was filled with uncertainty. He stared at Murong Bo's body without blinking. After a while, he said to Li Ying: "Brother, you might as well show off your knife-throwing skills."

Li Ying was startled and stayed for a moment before he understood what Lao Cao meant. He nodded, swung his hand and fired a flying knife, but in a flash of white light, the knife had already penetrated Murong Bo's thigh.

Zhu Tong frowned slightly, a little unhappy, and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said calmly: "A gentleman can be deceived. You treat him sincerely, but he still has deceitful intentions. You didn't see that his expression changed just now. It was quite deliberate. Is it like an actor doing a show? Haha, I have seen many heroes in my life.

No one is as full of emotions as him when it comes to defeat - Li Ying, there is no need to test, just fly a knife to the chest and you will know the clues."

Li Ying didn't hesitate, and threw the knife straight into Murong Bo's heart.

Murong Bo remained motionless, letting the flying knife pierce his chest.

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I'm afraid I guessed wrong, but this guy is really dead."

Cao Cao didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled and said: "Brother, you are stunned! Look at the flying knife on his leg, and then look at his chest."

When everyone heard this, they looked over and took a closer look. Zhu Dian shouted angrily: "How dare this old thief bully me like this!"

What do you think? The knife on the leg penetrates the flesh for a foot, and the knife on the chest penetrates the flesh at most two inches. Most of the blade is outside the body. If it is not for the secret force of the muscles to clamp it when it penetrates the flesh, why is there such a difference?

?

Zhu Tong was a careful person. After Cao Cao told him, he knew it at a glance. In a rage, he strode forward and stepped on the handle of the knife. Murong Bo suddenly raised his left hand and hit Zhu with a punch.

With the sole of his foot, he staggered and fell back. He pulled out the flying knife from his chest. When he opened his eyes, a carp jumped up and looked at Cao Cao with hatred on his face: "Traitor! Evil thief! If you are not a treacherous and evil person, how can you do this?

Do you see my plan?"

Cao Cao chuckled: "Your acting skills are worse than those of the low-ranking bitches in the prostitute village. How can you deceive these gentlemen?"

Murong Bo was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, he yelled, jumped up with all his strength, held a flying knife in his hand, and went straight for Lao Cao.

Zhu Tong stepped in front of Cao Cao, wielding his sword wildly to block his attack. Qin Ming raised his stick and blocked his waist, causing Murong Bo to roll and fly out. After landing, he vomited blood.

It turned out that this guy was old and cunning. He slapped his skull with his right hand and used secret force to break his own metacarpal bones, making a cracking sound that deceived people's ears and eyes. Then he used the Turtle Breathing Kung Fu and closed his breath to pretend to die. Unexpectedly, Lao Cao found out and was stabbed twice in vain.

.

As for the pounce just now, it had squeezed out the last bit of potential. Now it hit the ground, but even the little finger couldn't move.

Li Ying hated him for being cunning, so he decisively flew out the knife and penetrated his forehead. Murong Bo raised his head and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

Cao Cao looked at it for a moment, then pointed and said, "That's right. Wait and see, how natural is this death?"

Zhu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This old thief is extremely cunning. If it weren't for my brother, I'd be afraid that he would hide it and be embarrassed."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Actually, if he just faked his death, I don't care. With his age and injuries, what can he do even if he survives for a few years? I am only worried that you will send him to Longshan, but he will be killed by him on the way. This person will be at the end of his life.

, it’s so heartbreaking that we have to guard against it.”

Zhu Tong was so moved that his eyes turned red. Thinking of his displeasure with Cao Cao just now, his heart felt like a knife stabbing him. He knelt down and clasped his fists, saying: "I'm sorry, I'm so virtuous, but I deserve to be so loved by my brother."

Cao Cao pulled him up and said, "Since you called me brother, why did you say these unforeseen words?"

Qin Mingdao: "This old thief wants to play tricks on others before he dies. Why don't I smash him to pieces and let him die without a whole body?"

Lao Cao laughed and said: "He is missing his left foot, so he has no complete body. That's all. The debt will be wiped out after death, and poisoning the body will only show that my brother is narrow-minded. What's more, Brother Zhu Dian promised him first. Although he is unkind, how can we not be the same?"

Yi? Let's find a coffin to restrain him. There is no need for Zhu Tong to go there himself. Brother Zhang Juexian borrowed a few capable subordinates to transport this guy to Longshan and bury him randomly. The rest of the Mingjiao followers also buried him.

.”

After hearing this, everyone was convinced and shouted in unison: "Brother is so kind and righteous."

Zhang Juedang immediately selected a few useful generals and asked them to act according to Lao Cao's orders.

For several days afterwards, Lao Cao and others stayed at Luandao Valley, mobilized soldiers and horses from Yuguan, and transported all the gold and silver to Lulong County. They counted the quantities and found a total of more than 70,000 jins of gold and 180,000 jins of silver.

.(Note 1)

However, before Lao Cao could figure out how to use this windfall, Ma Ling, the "Shen Juzi", stepped on the hot wheel and flew towards him: "Brother, something big has happened! The Emperor of Liao Kingdom opened the tiger's mouth to kill the tiger and let the gold man enter the country.

The whole country surrenders!"

Even for a city like Lao Cao, when he heard this, he couldn't help but jump up in shock: "Is Emperor Tianzuo crazy?"

Ma Ling smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid I'm not crazy, but I'm really desperate! After my brother came to Pingzhou, two brothers, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong, sent troops overnight, and within two days, they defeated Guizhou and Ruzhou, and took advantage of the victory to advance.

Destroy Wuzhou and Xinzhou again!"

Wuzhou is known as Zhangjiakou in later generations, and Xinzhou is known as Zhuolu County in later generations.

Cao Cao wondered: "Most of our troops are new recruits, how can we fight so smoothly?"

Ma Lingdao: "I only found out recently that the Song army, with Zhongshi Dao as its commander, sent 150,000 troops out of Yanmen Pass to attack Luo and Shuo prefectures, and then attacked Yingzhou. Brother, Yingzhou is only a hundred miles away from Datong, Xijing.

Here, Emperor Tianzuo was panicked and mobilized all the soldiers and horses from several states in the east to fight with Mr. Laozhong."

Cao Cao sighed: "No wonder our army attacked smoothly, but they took advantage of Mr. Zhong!"

Ma Ling nodded repeatedly and said: "Our army will take four of the nine states behind the mountain, and the Song army will take two. In the hands of the Liao Kingdom, only Yunzhou, Yingzhou, and Yuzhou are left. Moreover, they are attacked from both sides. Emperor Tianzuo is desperate.

I don't know how to negotiate with the Jin people. On November 4th, the gold was formally paid. The Jin Kingdom named him the King of Yunzhou, opened the Killing Tiger Pass, and let the Jin soldiers in. On November 7th, 70,000 Liao soldiers were sent in.

There was a decisive battle with the Song army at the foot of Yingzhou City. Seeing that they were defeated, 20,000 gold soldiers suddenly rushed out from the flanks. Mr. Lao Zhong was defeated. We found out the news and came to report to my brother immediately."

In the original time and space, it would have been four or five years later, when Emperor Tianzuo was forty-eight years old, that he was captured by the Jin people and named the King of the Seaside. Now that Lao Cao has entered the country, the situation has changed drastically, and the fate of Emperor Tianzuo has also changed.

From being captured to asking for surrender.

After hearing this, Cao Cao looked at everyone and saw that several of them had surprised faces. He adjusted his mood and forced out a smile and said: "I want to take the Liao territory, and sooner or later I will encounter the Jin soldiers. Now half of the Great Wall is in my hands."

, Youji is as stable as Mount Tai, so I would like to hunt with him behind the mountain to observe its beauty."

When all the generals saw that his arrogance had not diminished, they felt at ease.

Cao Cao ordered: "Qin Ming and Huang Xin, lead the leopard cavalry and follow me back north. Zhang Shun will join Duan Sanniang and return to Li Jun's tent to obey orders. You must guard the Great Wall for me! As for Ping, Ying, Jing, and Luansi,

The prefecture, as well as the Great Wall within its borders, were handed over to Brother Zhang Juexian for guarding, and Brother Li Ying assisted him."

Zhang Jue was shocked. He surrendered to Cao Cao, thinking that Cao Cao would transfer him to another place. Unexpectedly, he still appointed the local people and handed over Jing and Luan. His heart was agitated for a while. He stood up and said: "As long as I have three inches of energy left, I will not let you go."

One golden soldier passed the test! Brother, I heard that most of the troops under my command are newly recruited soldiers and horses. If the golden soldiers arrive, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the heavy responsibility. I have 50,000 troops here, and I would like to give half of them to my brother."

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He held Zhang Jue's hands and said, "Brothers working together can cut through gold. Brothers should keep this friendship in their hearts."

The next day, Cao Cao led the Leopard Cavalry and 15,000 troops to leave first. The gold and silver obtained from Zushan left 100,000 gold and 200,000 silver to Zhang Jue for military supplies. The rest was ordered by Zhang Shun to receive 10,000

The Pingying Army gathered with Duan Sanniang and escorted them to Daku in Jizhou.

On November 12, Lao Cao returned to Wusheng Pass after a long journey.

Sun An was overjoyed to see this and quickly reported that the newly acquired Wuzhou and Xinzhou had fallen. Now Guan Sheng led five thousand troops to defend Guizhou and was heavily surrounded by enemy troops. Sun An tried to rescue him several times, but was helpless.

There are few soldiers under his command, and he is afraid that he will be defeated in a moment, but he will be stuck in a pass. He never dares to make up his mind, and his mouth is full of anxiety.

Cao Cao comforted him and said, "Don't panic! I see that they are all traitors. Now that I'm back, I will have a plan to deal with them!"

There are different teachings: Emperor Tianzuo opened the tiger's mouth to kill the tiger, and the Jurchen soldiers moved towards Shanxi. Dadao Pass was defeated and trapped in a tight siege, and Wu Mengde wanted to meet his old friend!

More than seventy thousand catties of gold, calculated as sixteen taels, is more than one million taels, and 180,000 catties of silver is more than two million taels.

The design of this number is based on the assumption that it was left by the Sanyan royal family and was plundered by Murong Longcheng and his predecessors for generations. Whether it is reasonable can be referred to the treasury of the Song Dynasty——

After the Jin people broke into Bianjing, they "checked the treasures and found 54 million pieces of silk, 15 million pieces of Dacai jokes, 3 million gold ingots, and 8 million silver ingots."

The gold and silver ingots of the Song Dynasty were generally 10 taels to 20 taels. Based on the calculation of 10 taels per ingot, the Jin people plundered 30 million taels of gold and 80 million taels of silver from the warehouses of the Song Dynasty - this was still guarded in Bianjing

The remnants of huge expenditures after years of war.
