Cao Cao laughed loudly after hearing this, pulled out the knife from his waist, and cut Hu Yanzhuo's rope.
Hu Yanzhuo flapped his arms, and the broken ropes fell down one after another. He pressed the saddle and jumped down, running towards Zhou Pass: "It's either me or you!"
Zhou Tong exclaimed: "Oh, I called you brother a few times in vain, but you are a fool. I know whether to choose him or not to choose me." He hurriedly ran towards the horse Taoxue Wuzui, wanting to ride it. The horse fled for its life.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiu jumped out from beside him, hugged Zhou Tong from the waist, and said with a smile: "You idiot, what kind of person is my brother? How can he kill your meritorious minister?"
Zhou Tong turned his head and saw Cao Cao grabbing Hu Yanzhuo: "General Hu Yan, for the sake of me, how about we stop?"
Hu Yanzhuo jumped to his feet and said, "You don't know that this guy humiliates me and makes me suffer."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "To tell you the details, it was Wu who sent him to lure you out of the city. Otherwise, how could we defeat Qingzhou if the general was in charge? Forget it, if the general is really unsatisfied, Wu will just stand here and let you fight. A few punches to release the energy.”
Hu Yanzhuo rolled his strange eyes and shouted, "You said something about a toothache, knowing full well that I wouldn't hit you."
Cao Cao was exposed by him, but he laughed openly and said: "A gentleman can be deceived! If I didn't know that the general is a gentleman, how could I dare to say this? But a gentleman has no small fault, so why don't Zhou Tong and I fight for that bird?" How about you return your treasure to him and make him apologize?"
After hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo had no choice but to say: "Brother Wu, since you won't let me punish him, I forgive Hu Yanzhuo for not being able to serve."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "General, why did I go into battle wearing a mask last time? I didn't want people to know that I had a friendship with Liangshan. Now that the general knows it, how can he let him go? Secondly, it wasn't Wu who said it, Gao What kind of character does this guy have, the general really doesn’t know? You should go forward, not behind. If the general wins the battle, he will be fine. Now that he has been defeated again and again, do you think he is willing to take responsibility for you? Once he is investigated and prosecuted, his family will follow suit. Humiliated.”
Hu Yanzhuo sighed deeply after hearing what touched his heart. He was depressed and speechless.
Cao Cao observed his words and knew that his heart was moved, and said: "The man's fame will be obtained soon. If you want to restore the lintel of your ancestors, you might as well stay here. Wu has no intention of rebellion, but just needs a foundation to support the people and train the army. In a few days, In the new year, the rivers and mountains in the north are great, isn’t it the time for men to use force?”
Speaking of this, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but be moved, and said secretly: "I want to regain my lintel, but the current imperial court is unwilling to reuse military officers. When will I be able to achieve my wish? If he does not rebel against the imperial court and seize the land of Liao to establish his career, wouldn't he be the right one for me?" Opportunities?”
He made up his mind secretly, nodded, cupped his fists and bowed down: "If this is the case, I will eventually call Yanzhuo, and I am willing to follow Jiwei!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed and helped him up, saying, "If you can get help from the general, great things will happen! Brother Shi Xiu, go and select a few capable brothers yourself, and quickly take General Huyan's family home and settle it in Yanggu."
Shi Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, it will be done properly."
Hu Yanzhuo thanked him repeatedly and gave Fu Shixiu his address and tokens.
Cao Cao comforted Hu Yanzhuo and went to Zhou Tongtong: "Brother Zhou Tong, we are not unjust people. Now that we have made peace with each other, we will all be brothers from now on, and Brother Huyan will no longer argue."
Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Zhou Tong bitterly and said, "This guy is a sharp-tongued man. If you quarrel with the enemy next time, let him take action. He will be invincible in the world."
Zhou Tong is also very clever. He knows that Hu Yanzhuo is very powerful in martial arts and will be put to great use in the future. How can he compete with him? Just as he was about to calm down with him, when he saw him talking, he quickly smiled and said: "Brother Huyan, I don't know, if you are as capable as you, when you fight with others, you just clenched your fists and hit them. Who can defeat you? I'm not like you. If you have the ability to compete with others, you have to ask for some advantages in words. Don't be offended if you offended me before."
As he said this, he pulled over the horse Tuxue Wuzui and said with a smile: "Such a good horse, with a master like me, is a shining star. It is only under your crotch that it can show its majesty."
Hu Yanzhuo took over the horse that he had longed for, couldn't help but smile, and said, "That's all, don't mention the past anymore."
Cao Cao watched Zhou Tong's actions, nodded secretly, and suddenly said: "Brother Huyan, since this BMW has returned to its original owner, how about giving this green horse to Brother Zhou Tong? He has also made a contribution this time, so you can do it for me. Reward him."
Hu Yanzhuo smiled and said, "This horse was lent to me by Magistrate Murong. Since he escaped, it is an ownerless thing. It is all up to my brother." He took the reins of the horse and handed it over. I couldn't help but think more highly of Cao Cao.
Although this green-maned horse is fatter, it has a tall and square head, bright eyes, ears like bamboo, and long and strong legs. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as it takes some time to train, it will be a horse that is not inferior to a black horse walking on the snow. BMW.
It should be noted that a BMW has a huge bonus against a warrior. Otherwise, why would he never forget Tuxue Wuzui? It's not all because of the imperial gift.
In Hu Yanzhuo's view, Zhou Tong's martial arts skills were not worth mentioning. This green-maned horse, no matter which one was given to Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, or Yang Zhi, would immediately improve his combat power. How could Zhou Tong do it? Are you worthy of riding a BMW like this?
Therefore, Cao Cao was willing to give this horse to Zhou Tong. Firstly, it proved that he was willing to value the face and feelings of Zhou Tong, an ordinary grassroots bandit. Secondly, it was to see that this person was not a person who only cared about interests and not friendship.
Even Zhou Tong himself was slightly surprised, and then he squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother, this horse is wasted for me to ride. There is a black horse in my village that I am familiar with, and it matches the name of my little overlord. This horse Qing Ma, give it to another brother who is good at fighting, right?"
Cao Cao laughed after hearing this and said: "Brother, do you know why I asked you to give Taxue Wuzui to Brother Huyan? It's not that he is better in martial arts than you, but that this horse originally belonged to him. If it is an enemy, needless to say, since As brothers, it is only natural that the property should be returned to its original owner. As for why this horse was given to you, it is because of your superb scolding ability. Without the cooperation of the horse, it would be worrying. "
Everyone laughed in unison after hearing this, and Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but grin, thinking that it was indeed the case. If it weren't for Ta Xue Wu Zui, why would Zhou Tong lure him into an ambush? It has already been beaten into a pulp.
Zhou Tong himself also laughed, took the reins handed over by Cao Cao, smiled, his eyes suddenly turned red, he knelt down and raised his hands and swore: "Brother loves each other so much, and my younger brother will be loyal without regrets."
Cao Cao pulled him up and said: "The friendship between strong men is precious! My brothers don't have to do this."
At this moment, Kong Liang suddenly ran over and shouted: "Brother, Brother Ma Lin is alive."
As soon as Cao Cao heard that he was overjoyed, he couldn't even think of riding the horse, so he ran towards the hospital quickly. Hu Yanzhuo and others looked behind him, and they all said: "What a good brother, he is willing to take care of his brothers."
Shi Xiu said: "Brothers, Teacher Luan and I are going to take care of my brother." After that, he and Luan Tingyu led the horses and chased after him.
Cao Cao ran all the way to the medical center, his body was sweating, and he gasped: "How are brothers Ma Lin?"
Tao Zongwang said happily: "Brother, thanks to this good doctor, he really has extraordinary methods. Now he is awake, but he is still a little weak." After that, he led Cao Cao to the inner room.
When they entered the room, they saw Ma Lin with his head wrapped and his face pale. Seeing Cao Cao coming, he forced a smile and said: "Brother, I am incompetent and was run away by that dog magistrate."
Cao Cao said: "Just run away. Don't worry about not being able to catch him. As long as you are fine, it will be fine. Do you know who hurt you?"
Ou Peng, who was standing next to him, smiled bitterly and said, "I've asked him myself, but I haven't seen anyone. He just got hit hard on the head and then collapsed. The doctor said, judging from the condition of the wound, it was either a stick or a gun." .”
Tao Zongwang sneered: "The barrel of a gun! That fellow Wang Aohu is just using a gun!"
Cao Cao said: "Since there is no evidence, let's not say more. In short, no matter who it is, the debt must be paid with blood."
Then he said to Ou Peng: "It's not convenient to stay here for a long time. Let's go quickly to find a big car with soft and thick padding inside to carry Brother Ma Lin back to Erlong Mountain."
Ou Peng nodded and left as he was told. Cao Cao comforted Ma Lin a few words, invited the doctor over, asked about the injury in detail, and finally felt relieved.
At this time, he suddenly heard a loud argument outside the door. He frowned and asked Shi Xiu to take a look. Shi Xiu looked at it and reported back: "Brother, it turns out that there is a wealthy family next door to the hospital with many cars and horses. Ou Peng wants to go with him." They bought, but they refused to sell, so Ou Peng was anxious."
Cao Cao sneered and said: "What kind of luxury does this afford to a wealthy family? Go and tell them that we will sell it at twice the market price. If they still refuse to sell it, take it and leave."
Shi Xiu was about to leave, but the doctor said hurriedly: "Oh, I can't help it. Next to it is the ancestral home of the Zhao family in Qingzhou. His master is out on an official trip, and only his mistress is in charge of the house. That mistress is a famous and talented woman. , I think it’s because I’m afraid of causing trouble that I don’t dare to sell it to the kings.”
Cao Cao shook his head and laughed: "What you said makes no sense. What's the right and wrong of fair trade? They actually know that we are kings. If the kings refuse to buy things, don't they have to rob them?"
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Since the mistress is the only one at home and she is a talented woman, you can't intrude on her until you are here. Let my brother come and see her."
Luan Tingyu said quickly: "I can go with my brother. Shi Xiu, you are here to take care of brother Ma Lin."
At that moment, Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu left the hospital and looked to the side. In the high-walled courtyard, it turned out to be a wealthy family. I walked quickly to the front door of the house and saw Ou Peng standing in front of the door, saying angrily: "I have good words to buy a car with you, but I have a lot of bullshit. I have angered the master and smashed your house to pieces."
But there were twenty or thirty strong servants at the door, all holding sticks and barricading the door. One of them shouted: "You go and buy elsewhere. My master is an official. He does business with strong men and ruins his official reputation. You must pay for it." Can you afford it?”
Cao Cao became angry after hearing this. He walked up to Ou Peng and said, "You also have a good temper. The city has been destroyed, but you still can't break down his house? There are such stupid slaves who are blind to the mountains. It shows that the master of the house must also be a stupid person." Officer, what do you want to do? Go get the car."
Ou Peng defended: "It's just because the great monk repeatedly said not to hurt the people, for fear of contradicting him and embarrassing my brother."
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "He is from a family of officials, so what kind of common people are he? Even the common people put my brother's life first. Who can care about so much and take action?"
Ou Peng jumped into the gate. There was really a brave and strong servant who could hit him with a stick. Ou Peng reached out and grabbed the head of the stick, turned around and kicked the man away, and grabbed the stick in his hand.
The servants shouted one after another: "The strongman has entered the house, the strongman has entered the house." They were beaten in a chaotic manner. Ou Peng laughed and threw three times, five divided by two, and beat these people crying for father and mother.
Cao Cao said: "Isn't this simple? Let's go and harness the car."
Ou Peng was about to set up his car when he suddenly heard a female voice say: "Stop! Everyone in Qingzhou knows that Erlongshan is a thieves. How can he follow the example of robbing people's homes and bullying good people?"
Cao Cao was unhappy after hearing this and turned around to see a pretty woman standing in front of the hall, frowning slightly and speaking solemnly.
For a moment, Cao Cao felt his soul shake slightly. The woman in front of him and a figure he had not seen for a long time seemed to form double images. In an instant, it seemed like it was thousands of years away, the faint sound of bamboo sticks could be heard, and a piece of "Huanxi Sand" flowed through my heart like clear water:
Perhaps the tears of melancholy have not yet dried, the yellow flowers are thin and stained with wine stains, and the proud knees are not enough to rest.
How often does the moon in the West Tower become full? The fragrance of the east fence lingers all my life. The sadness in the world is about love.
There are different teachings:
After the sound of the bamboo flute, my eyes burst into tears, and I reported my spirit to you with four hundred letters. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, knowing one's best friend is elusive, but life is precious and the beginning of love is precious.
