Lao Cao, who was heartbroken by Fan Rui's words, "Tomb robbers lack moral character," suddenly remembered many old things that he had deliberately hidden. It was a blessing in disguise. Some of the vague thoughts before his death in his previous life suddenly became clear and clear. It was as if the thick dust had been wiped away from my heart, becoming clearer and clearer.
He secretly said: "What I have done this year is a little different from the past. It is because I am young, but it seems that it is more than that. Anyway, it is rare to live a new life, so it must be a little different."
Mangdang Mountain is well-known, but the mountain is really not big. After two or three days of swimming, there was nothing new, so Cao Cao decided to set off on the road.
How to move the team of nearly two thousand people was a problem. After everyone discussed it, Cao Cao decided on a strategy and divided it into four teams.
The first team consists of the iron-faced Pei Xuan, the divine fortune teller Jiang Jing, the wasp-stinging Huang Wenbing, the desperate Saburo Shixiu, the fiery-eyed Suanni Deng Fei, the moyun-gold-winged Ou Peng, the golden leopard Yang Lin, and the flea Shi Qian on the drum. Eight brothers, with four to five hundred elites, returned to Yanggu first while preserving the property brought back from Jiangzhou.
According to Cao Cao's instructions, upon arrival, Pei Xuan, Jiang Jing, and Huang Wenbing were sent to invite Hu Sanniang to prepare a group of houses, either bought or rented according to the number of people and needs, so that everyone could have a place to stay.
At the same time, go outside the county town and buy land to build a village near Shi'er Mountain and Liangshanbo. From now on, everyone can live together in the village.
The second team, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Niu Gao, Meng Kang, Tao Zongwang, Xue Yong, and Hou Jian, led hundreds of people to protect their families and walked slowly.
The third team consisted of six teams: Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, and Lu Fang. Hundreds of people who knew the water were led by Lu Fang and went straight to Shi'er Mountain to meet Qin Ming and others.
Ten miles southwest of Shi'er Mountain is the northeast corner of Liangshan Water Park. At that time, Li Jun will make the decision to find a relatively secluded location nearby and build a water village under the cover of a fishing village. If a boat is needed, he can go directly to Liangshan with Cao Cao's letter. Go ask for it.
This water village has a very important relationship with the brothers who are familiar with the water. Secondly, it forms two horns with Shi'er Mountain, one high and one low. Thirdly, it establishes a waterway connection with Liangshan Mountain. Li Jun felt that he had gained Cao Cao's trust and was very happy.
In the fourth team, two brothers, Guo Sheng and Ma Lin, assisted Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun, and led the remaining troops to pack up the belongings in the cottage and set off.
Between the four teams, each team is separated by fifty or sixty miles. When they pass the big city of the state capital, they are divided into several small teams, traveling ten miles apart in front and back.
They also sent powerful and fast horses to scout at the front and liaise in the middle to ensure nothing went wrong.
After Cao Cao's arrangements were completed, all the brothers took their orders. Luan Tingyu didn't hear his name, so he smiled and said: "Brother, I have other important matters. Do you want me to go with you?"
Li Kui was delighted when he heard this: "You don't have my name either? Does your brother want to take me there too?"
Seeing that he could not follow, Niu Gao felt jealous and said strangely: "Brother Tieniu, if you follow Brother Wu, you won't be able to see your mother-in-law every day."
"Ah, Baolian!" Li Kui's expression changed upon hearing this. He desperately wanted to follow Cao Cao, but he couldn't let go of Baolian. For a moment, he was in a dilemma on his face.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Then you go to the second team and escort the family members with Niu Gao and others, and we can see each other day and night. Tell me about your hometown in detail, and then pick up a token. Teacher Luan and I will pick it up. Your mother."
"Brother, are you going to pick up my mother?"
Li Kui was dumbfounded. Although Cao Cao had already said, "After finishing the business, return to Yanggu, and take you to pick up my mother to honor me," but in his understanding, he had to go back to Yanggu first and then pick up his mother. Moreover, Cao Cao was busy with many important things. , you may not actually be able to go, but it’s the same thing if you pick it up yourself.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't even return home. He handed over the management of such a large team, a large amount of wealth, and many worldly affairs to others, and went directly to pick up his mother in person.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Didn't we agree a long time ago? We'll go back to Yanggu before going back and forth. Besides, you've been away from home for a long time. The sooner I'm picked up, the sooner you'll fulfill your filial piety."
Li Kui's hometown is under the jurisdiction of Yishui County. Although it is in the same Shandong Province as Yanggu County, one is to the north and the other to the east. They are six to seven hundred miles apart. They are separated by the Yellow River. If you go to Yishui first and then return to Yanggu, it will be more difficult than going back and forth. Much more convenient.
Li Kui stood there blankly. For a moment, the boss's tears rolled out from his big eyes. He suddenly knelt down, hugged Cao Cao's chest and cried: "Brother, brother, you are Tieniu's brother." . How can this happen? In order to pick up Tieniu, wouldn't it mean that I have delayed meeting my sisters-in-law."
Cao Cao frowned and said: "Get up quickly, don't act like a child. Your sisters-in-law and I are both young, should we wait or should your mother wait? No need to say more, find a token for me, otherwise I'm afraid your mother won't believe it."
Li Kui wiped his tears and stood up and said: "How can there be any token? Besides, my brother helped me to pick up my mother, but I accompanied my mother-in-law and had fun. That is not something people do. Let Niu Gao escort my mother-in-law for me, and I will go with my brother Let’s go pick me up together.”
He turned around and ran out of the hall, naturally going to talk to Song Baolian about the matter.
Niu Gao said enviously: "With so many brothers, my brother really loves Tieniu the most."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Every brother is the same in my heart, why do I favor him more? Look at a family with many brothers, do your parents favor the stupidest one?"
He was the eldest brother that all the heroes worshiped. These words were compared to those of a parent. Everyone was amused and felt warm in their hearts.
Niu Gao said: "My mother also said that I am stupid."
Ou Peng snorted coldly: "You are stupid. You are stupid enough to know that you cheated when gambling. You cheated me of five taels of silver and refused to pay it back."
Niu Gao argued: "Brother, although I am stupid, a fool also knows how to cheat nine times out of ten bets. Don't you know that?"
Ou Peng was speechless and everyone burst into laughter.
Speaking of which, Niu Gao is really stupid, but Ou Peng has suffered a lot from him these days. He can't even fight with each other, which is also a scene between brothers.
Suddenly, Shi Xiu said proudly: "Do you think my brother loves Tieniu the most? I'm wrong, I'm wrong, all of them are wrong. The one who loves me the most is me, Shi Xiu!"
Everyone laughed and said, "But if I ask you to accompany me for a few walks, how can I become someone who loves you?"
Shi Xiu slapped the knife and looked around: "Which of you can get the martial arts instruction from your brother?"
It was okay to live in the mountains these days, so everyone naturally used spears and sticks to compete with fists and kicks. After this competition, they found that Shi Xiu's martial arts improved greatly.
Luan Tingyu could suppress him to some extent before, but now he can no longer suppress him.
Mu Hong was also confident that he was not inferior to Shi Xiu, but yesterday the two competed three times in a row. Mu Hong lost one and a half moves to Shi Xiu in the 61st move, the 55th move, and the 37th move. The most embarrassing thing was that Yue The defeat became faster and faster, and Mu Hong was so angry that he threw away the Pu Dao and left. Otherwise, if he lost within thirty moves in the fourth game, how could he have the dignity to say "Nothing to block"?
Therefore, Mu Hong couldn't listen to Shi Xiu's talk about martial arts. He slapped his thigh and shouted: "Is that what my brother is giving you? I went to ask my brother for advice yesterday. My brother told me the truth. It was clearly you who was one to six in the pink tent. , realized the secret of "you can't do your best".
That day, the beauties from Yiqing Tower sent each other off, causing a sensation in Jiangzhou. Cao Cao was carving lotus flowers and showing off his riding skills. Naturally, the heroes knew they were here to see him off, and they all envied Cao Cao's skills.
But yesterday, Cao Cao really couldn't give advice to Mu Hong, so he had to tell the truth. Mu Hong yelled loudly, and everyone realized that there was something about Shi Xiu. Most of those beauties, like flowers and jade, came here because of Shi Xiu.
This made everyone so jealous that they went to ask Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu lamented and told the story of Man, Man, Zhen, Xiuxiu, Xing'er, Qin, Xianglan and the others. Many people were so angry that they couldn't sleep all night.
Cao Cao is the leading eldest brother, and his charm shines on everyone's face. Naturally, we don't envy him. Shi Xiu is just a red stick like us, so why is he more charming than me?
At this moment, Mu Hong exposed Shi Xiu to his face, and Shi Xiu was not annoyed, but even more proud: "Let's not talk about how my brother gave me advice, but just talking about one-on-six skills, who of you can do it?"
This completely aroused public anger. Mu Hong, who had the most explosive temper, didn't even have time to speak. Zhang Shun, who had the best temper, jumped to his feet first: "He is not a son of a man. Six brothers come to beat him together. I don't believe he can." One against six!"
Thinking of his pitiful five copper coins and the six taels of silver that Shi Xiu showed off, Zhang Shun felt that the power of his fists had become stronger.
(Some readers criticized the economic system of this book for being chaotic. In fact, I just directly followed the price system of Water Margin, and as we all know, Water Margin was written in the Ming Dynasty. The money in the Northern Song Dynasty was usually one thousand coins, but for a long time it was based on seventy-seven coins. It is a hundred, so it is seven hundred and seventy coins. The actual ratio to silver, depending on the fineness of the silver, ranges from 1:1 to 2.5:1. The girls gave Shi Xiu colored silver, and one tael of silver was worth about copper coins. 1925 text, that is to say, even if only counting the red envelope given by one girl, it is 385 times more than Zhang Shun. It can be deduced that one show is equal to 385 smooth, which is the source of Zhang Shun’s explosive boxing power.)
There are different teachings: close brothers and hot brothers line up in a row, and the friendship and affection are deep and the two are long? The stupid iron bull pushes the leader, one against six gods of war.
