Ma Chao is a man whose martial arts is as good as those of Guan, Zhang and Zhao. In the battle of Tongguan, horses dominate the army. Who among the countless Cao generals can stop him?
You must know that even when Zhao Yun was invincible at Changbanpo, he did not make Lao Cao sigh like this: "If the horse does not die, I will not have a burial place."
The only regret is that Ma Chao died too late and could not compete with Lu Bu, the best in the world.
Although Dong Ping, the double spear general, is also a tiger general, from Cao Cao's perspective, he may be able to keep pace with Zhang Liao, Tai Shi Ci and others, but he is only half as good as Guan Zhang and Zhao Ma.
"That's true." Cao Cao thought to himself: "Ma Chao was in Xiliang and had been fighting with the Qiang people since he was a boy. But now in the Song Dynasty, Wen Tian and Wuxi are fighting. I don't know if these generals will fight again in a few years. , how can it be compared with those troubled times?"
Without the training of troubled times, these generals in the Taiping years were not as experienced as Wu Song and other people who traveled around the world all day long.
A smile couldn't help but appear on Cao Cao's lips.
In the field, Wu Song and Dong Ping were fighting to the top of Lily. Dong Ping was sweating profusely, holding his two guns firmly around his body, and his eyes were full of shock: he could see that Wu Song was not simple, but he did not expect to be so brave.
Dong Ping has always been arrogant and arrogant. The reason why he dares to be so arrogant is that he thinks he is handsome and charming and smart: "Three teachings and nine streams, he knows everything; he knows how to play bamboo and tune strings;" second, he thinks he is handsome and charming. Relying on his invincible martial arts, it is difficult to find a opponent against the two iron spears.
Unexpectedly, Wu Song, the "living Dian Wei", actually had the courage of Dian Wei. From the beginning to now, the speed and strength of his pair of iron halberds had not diminished at all, and he could only parry.
What's even more embarrassing is that Dong Ping has gradually started to feel numbness in his arms, and the iron gun in his hand is getting heavier and heavier. If he can hold on for another twenty or thirty years, he is afraid that the end will come.
At this moment, a voice like nature suddenly sounded in my ears: "Haha, General Dong is indeed a rare tiger general, and my second son is also brave and brave. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. How about the prefect call it a day?"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Song Shuangji hesitated.
Then Chen Wenzhao said with a smile: "Wu Dutou is right. He should have stopped it long ago, but I was fascinated by it for a moment. General Dong, Xiao Wu Dutou, stop it quickly."
Wu Song then spurred his horse and jumped out. Dong Ping gasped, as if he had been fished out of the water. He reluctantly put away his gun, cupped his fists and said, "Wu Erlang's two halberds are enough to defeat all the heroes in the world."
With his arrogant character, to be able to say this is to be completely convinced.
Wu Song also hung up his halberd and clasped his fists and said, "General Dong is so complimentary. Wu Er has never met such a warrior as General Dong in his entire life!"
Chen Wenzhao laughed loudly and said: "There are two generals like you in Dongping Mansion. Which bandit dares to look at you? Come on!"
Immediately, he summoned people and took two hundred taels of silver to reward Dong Ping and Wu Song. He also took two pieces of silk and satin and gave them to them to make robes.
After calling a few people back to Fuyin Yamen and sitting down, Chen Wenzhao said: "General Dong, can a brother from the Wu family be your deputy general with such skills?"
Dong Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Why would the prime minister tease Dong? With such skill, even if Dong gave up his position to him, he would still be able to sit securely, let alone the deputy general."
Chen Wenzhao slapped his thigh: "Okay, if the general says this, I will guarantee that the two of them will become deputy generals in the army..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Rongzhen: My brother's family background is all in Yanggu. If he comes to Fucheng to be a deputy general, Erlang of my family can do it. All my military training methods are in Erlang's mind. He happens to be serving in the army, but as for his humble position, Yanggu County cannot afford to lose his job."
Chen Wenzhao frowned when he heard this and said: "Not to mention your brother's skills, but this time the bandits were suppressed, and the credit is not small. You are still the leader, but outsiders say that I have no eyesight and cannot recognize a good man."
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Who with ears in Shandong and Hebei doesn't know the official reputation of the magistrate? How can there be such a small talk? Besides, I and Erlang are one brother. If he gets a reward, it's mine, and if I get a reward, it's his. It's such a humble position." All the minor achievements will be attributed to Erlang."
Chen Wenzhao shook his head repeatedly: "Everyone likes to be promoted, but you insist on holding a trivial position. That's all. That's up to you. Just let Wu Song be the deputy general."
In fact, in his mind, although Cao Cao was capable, he was a little short and was not as powerful as Wu Song as a general. He heard that Wu Song knew how to train soldiers, so he was too lazy to force him to obey his orders.
Cao Cao thanked him quickly and said, "Second brother, Magistrate Chen and General Dong are so kind to me, why don't you thank me?"
Wu Song frowned slightly and then said: He didn't want to be separated from his brother. How could a deputy general in Fucheng enjoy being together with his brothers every day? But seeing Cao Cao acting like this, he obviously had a plan, so he stood up and sang loudly: "Thank you, the prefect and the governor, for your appreciation! Wu Er is a rough man, with rude words, and does not understand the rules, but he only has one thing." Good: Even if Shangguan's banner points to mountains of swords and seas of fire, Wu Er will not look back."
Chen Wenzhao laughed and said, "He is indeed a good man."
Dong Ping was also happy in his heart: firstly, he respected Wu Erlang's ability, and secondly, he also saw that Wu Erlang was not a man who was greedy for power and was not afraid of taking his position. Wouldn't it be nice to have such capable and honest people to help you?
He immediately clasped his fists and returned the salute: "General Wu, there is no need to be too polite. We will all be brothers from now on! Don't blame me for treating you unfairly. Today, Dong will be a little boy and invite Xian Kunzhong to drink."
After business was finished, several people left the prefect's residence and went to the army to get Wu Song's flag and armor. Dong Ping personally arranged a place to live, then summoned a group of confidants and went to the restaurant together, where they ordered a table full of food and drinks. Drink freely.
Dong Ping has many talents, and he is a very interesting person when he puts down his pretensions. His confidants are all smiling, trying to win over the Wu brothers and trying their best to flatter Wu Song's abilities.
Cao Cao was eloquent, and Wu Song drank until his glass was dry. Within a moment, he became one with the generals. They agreed to live and die together in the army and take care of each other. They got drunk that night, and Cao Cao and Wu Song went to the camp to rest together.
Dong Ping and others went to have a rest respectively. Wu Song closed the door and washed his face. Most of his drunkenness was gone. He looked at Cao Cao with bright eyes: "Brother, you are following the trend and asking me to be a deputy general here. What is your purpose?"
Cao Cao cheered up and said seriously: "I heard that the Jin Kingdom built by the Jurchens in the north is gradually gaining strength. In my opinion, it will inevitably destroy the Liao Kingdom sooner or later. The Song Kingdom is not even a rival to the Liao Kingdom, but it is prosperous and prosperous. Then How can the Jurchens let it go? Sooner or later, we will lead the troops to fight, so you develop in the army early, recruit heroes, and train the soldiers well. You will be of great use in the future."
Wu Song laughed and said: "My brother's concerns are too far-fetched. It has been more than a hundred years since the Liao people established their country. How can they be destroyed at the last word?"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "That's not what you say. "Zuo Zhuan" says: 'Yu and Tang sinned against themselves, and their prosperity was also inconsistent; Jie and Zhou sinned, and their demise was also sudden.' Ten years is enough to build a country. , ten years is enough to destroy a country. The Liao Kingdom has been established for a long time, and its ambitions have been worn away. Wen Tian and Wu are playing, which is no different from the Song Dynasty. However, the Jin Kingdom was just established. For example, when a person is young, it is the time to strive for progress, and he will lose. Well, if we defeat the Liao, we must attack the Song Dynasty. The Liao Dynasty is still unstoppable, how can the Song Dynasty support it alone? If we don't make preparations early, we will suffer."
Wu Song had always been impressed by his knowledge. Seeing Cao Cao's caution, he also put away his smile and said: "These things are too big, how can brother understand? Since brother has made arrangements, I will do my best to do it."
The two agreed to sleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Cao Cao resigned from Wu Song, and headed straight for Yanggu County with one man and one horse.
