Cao Cao observed Qin Ming's words and demeanor, and he knew that although he had followed the thief, he would not be reconciled.
In Cao Cao's opinion, there are only a few points. First, Song Jiang's reputation is too great. Once he is a corporal of courtesy, it is difficult for others to disapprove of him; secondly, Qin Ming is obviously a soft-spoken person who prefers softness to toughness. If others deceive him, he will lower his attitude and be soft-hearted. He was at a loss when he asked for help. The third reason was that although this person had the nickname Thunderbolt, he was not really a tough guy after all.
A true tough guy only talks about right and wrong, right is right, wrong is wrong, and ignores all other nonsense.
But it doesn’t matter if he’s not a real tough guy. On the contrary, it’s easier to control. After all, Qin Ming’s martial arts skills were really noticed by Lao Cao. Although he is not as good as Wu Song, he is much higher than Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. In his previous life, he was Cao Hong. His level is already considered a rare tiger general.
So he decided to conquer Qin Ming, even though he had voted for Song Jiang as his master.
But it doesn't matter, just like those women who have husbands, as long as Lao Cao likes it, it belongs to Lao Cao.
This is the domineering power of the king of Wei.
"Song Gongming, I have heard a lot about him in Yanggu County." Cao Cao looked at Huang Xin. He could see that this man was deeply grieving for his master and superior: "Where is he at the moment?" ?”
Huang Xindao: "Song Gongming Dao, Qingfeng Mountain is short and the village is small, so he can't resist the big army, so he moved the village to Liangshanbo and divided it into three groups to go on the road. He and Hua Rong were in the first group."
Cao Cao said: "I heard that Hua Rong is the deputy commander of Qingfeng Village, and he is also a military general. How are his methods better than yours?"
Huang Xin said frankly: "I am no match for his marksmanship. My master is not inferior to him, but what this person is even more powerful is is his archery. Huang has seen many people who are good at shooting, but none of them can match him." Huarong."
Qin Ming also said: "Hua Rong's arrows are divine arrows."
Cao Cao nodded and said to Lu Fang and Guo Sheng: "I want to talk to Song Gongming. Please don't mind running around, catch up with him quickly, and tell Song Gongming that their second and third teams have been captured by me. Yang Yang Brothers Wu Zhi and Wu Song from Gu County are here to serve as marquises!"
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng agreed in unison, and the two horses, one red and one white, flew away.
After about an hour, four horses came galloping forward. As they approached, a short, fat black man rolled off his saddle and dismounted. He knelt on the ground and worshiped: "You guilty little official, I didn't know that Kun Zhong of the Wu family came here with his heavenly troops, but he couldn't do it." I'll be bound to you from afar, and I won't be able to redeem myself with a hundred deaths. I just want to let a few of my brothers go, and I'll kill Song Jiang with a thousand knives, and Song Jiang is willing to do so."
Cao Cao frowned slightly, but then relaxed.
With Song Jiang's bow, Cao Cao had already seen through 80% of him: this man was generous with his wealth and treated people sincerely, so he was quite able to win the hearts of heroes in the world. However, his posture is often too low, and he feels like a dog can't get on the table. Well, he has the humble and kind side of Corporal Liu Bei, but without the arrogance and confidence in Liu Xuande's bones, he looks a bit greasy and vulgar.
This person is not enough to be my enemy.
Wu Song and Song Jiang were friends, so he quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Brother Gongming, we are all brothers, why is this like this?"
Song Jiang threw his arms to the ground and said, "Erlang, you and I have a personal friendship. My brother came to arrest me, but it is a business matter. How can I abolish the public affairs privately and embarrass my brother?"
Wu Song looked back and saw Cao Cao standing there with a straight face and not moving. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Brother, please persuade Brother Gongming to get up. They are all brothers. Do you really want to capture him?"
Then he said to Song Jiang: "When I sent out the troops, I really didn't know that my brother was here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done anything and wouldn't come to embarrass my brother."
He was a guest at Chai Jin Village, and Chai Jin accepted the hospitality at first. Unexpectedly, Wu Song was too strong-tempered and drunk. If the villagers did not do well, he would hit them with their fists. Therefore, all the villagers said that he was a guest. No, Chai Jin gradually started to dislike him. Although he didn't drive him away, he just gave him a bowl of rice.
How proud is Wu Song? Seeing that he had no beginning and no end, he was about to leave, but he contracted malaria and could not walk, so he could only endure the illness and recuperate. At this time, Song Jiang came to the village and loved Wu Song. Wu Song felt his kindness and worshiped him as a sworn brother.
Cao Cao smiled slightly: "Second brother, don't be anxious. You are famous in time, and you are the same all over the world. Not to mention that he is your sworn brother! But before we talk about our feelings, as a brother, I have something to say, and I have to ask Song Gongming face to face!"
Song Jiang knelt straight on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what brother you want to ask, but Song Jiang never said anything false."
Cao Cao put his hands behind his back and his expression became more solemn. He was not as tall as Song Jiang, but when people around him looked at him, they felt that he was like Yue Linyuan, not at all short.
Cao Cao's eyes were slightly focused, and he shone on Song Jiang's face like two rays of cold electricity: "Song Gongming, you are famous for your loyalty. However, in order to force Qin Ming to fall into disgrace, he had people pretend to be him and stormed the state, killing countless people. , so that the ignorant officials retaliated and massacred their entire family. Wu Mou will ask you today: How did the people deserve it? Why did Qin Ming deserve it? How did his wife and family who were brutally killed be blamed?"
These few words he said categorically were like a thunderbolt in the sky, illuminating the inner secrets of people's hearts.
Qin Ming trembled, thinking of the corpses lying on the ground outside Qingzhou City that day, and of the officers and soldiers at the top of the city picking up his wife's head with spears, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
He is tall and broad, with a beard all over his face, and he is as fierce as fire. He is usually the most masculine man. He is crying like this at this moment. Who can be moved by his heart? For a time, many people couldn't help but have red eyes, feeling deeply sad and hateful.
Song Jiang stayed for a long time and argued: "Brother Rong Zhen, although this villain's plan is more vicious, its original intention is to keep the Qin brothers together. I think that Murong Yanda is a fool, and the Qin brothers attack the stronghold." How can we tolerate him if he fails? Therefore, the villain can only come up with this strategy. The villain has also inquired carefully before. Brother Qin's family has no high-ranking officials and no children. Although the population is large, the closest relative is only his mother-in-law. Although they are not harmonious, he My sister-in-law is dead, but it happens that Hua Rong has a sister who is both beautiful and virtuous, and the villain has already acted as a matchmaker to marry brother Qin to make up for the regret of losing his wife."
In this era, especially these self-proclaimed heroes, women are looked down upon. Therefore, Song Jiang's words became more and more arrogant the more he said them.
Cao Cao sneered and pointed at Qin Ming: "According to this, he is now married to a beautiful woman, which is the time of his life when he is proud, but do you think he is proud? A man will not shed tears easily, but he is not sad yet! "
Song Jiang looked at Qin Ming and sighed: "I didn't expect brother Qin to be so affectionate towards my mother-in-law, but this matter was handled badly by a villain. Brother Qin, it's me, Song Jiang, who can't help you. If you have any resentment, just stab me a few times, and Song will never fight back."
Qin Ming wiped away his tears and slowly shook his head: "That's all, it's just Qin Ming's fault that his life was so miserable that fate took advantage of others."
Cao Cao slowed down his speech and said seriously: "Song Gongming, you are a famous hero. Logically speaking, Wu is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. But when things come to a close, there are some things that I can't say out loud: Men of our generation are born in this world, and we have fame and fortune. They are all second-rate. The most important thing is to respect this heaven and earth! Human beings are the spirits of all things. Only because of the word "emotion" and all living beings have feelings can there be beauty in this world. Therefore, no matter what you do, you must always observe people's hearts and be friendly to others. .”
"Furthermore, those common people are also descendants of me from China. They are of the same language and species as me. If I am strong, I will treat them like pigs and dogs and kill them like chickens and dogs. How am I different from the beasts? A man who has learned his skills, At the top, I protect the country and protect the people; at the bottom, I draw my sword to help when there is injustice on the road. I live up to my majestic body and live up to the praise of others who praise me as a hero! Now I look at the face of my family, Erlang, and let you go. If I know that you will drive people to kill innocent people again, Song Gongming, even if the sky is high and the sea is bottomless, I, Wu Zhi, will also demand justice for those wronged souls! Don't say that I didn't predict what I said!"
After saying that, without looking at Song Jiang, he got back on his horse and shouted: "Withdraw the troops!"
