"The Dragon from the Forest" Zou Yuan, "The One-horned Dragon" Zou Run!
There was also an angry and handsome young man whom he didn't recognize, but as soon as he spoke, he was so frightened that Cao Cao turned pale: "But in front of Brother Wu, I'm Lehe, Iron Caller, if you catch my brother-in-law, and You have the guts to get me out of jail! If it hadn’t been for Zong Tongpan to tell you the truth, I would have been kept in the dark, which would be too much of a deception!”
After saying that, he thrust his spear towards him. Cao Cao swung his sword, causing him to retreat five or seven steps, and shouted: "This guy is awesome! Let's get in together!"
Zou Yuan's flying tiger stick and Zou Run's ax came at the same time. Cao Cao resisted on both sides and shouted: "Zongze's granddaughter wants to kill you, why are you working with him now?"
Zou Run said: "You guys haven't taken advantage of me to build bridges and pave roads. How can you be a good person?"
Zou Yuan said: "Wu Mengde, traitors should not be bullied together, and beauties should not be concealed. On the one hand, my uncle and nephew and 'Little Yuchi' Sun Xin are close friends, and his brother was captured by the gangsters. We will naturally help; on the other hand, the sects will pass judgment." He came to the prison in person, pardoned his previous sins, and recommended my uncle and nephew to be the capital of Penglai County. With such a future, I naturally have to work for him, it is better than you turning a blind eye."
Cao Cao argued: "I arranged for Shi Xiu to rescue you and so on, how can I just ignore it?"
Zou Run suddenly laughed and said: "Speaking of this matter, it's funny. You guys made all kinds of calculations and taught the four of them to go to the casino to hide? But he didn't know that the casino he went to was owned by Sun Xin's family. Wouldn't he be falling into a trap? ? What a pity for four good men, they were thrown away just as soon as they were given anesthesia."
Cao Cao's face became more and more gloomy: He specifically asked Luan Tingyu and the others not to stay in an inn or restaurant, but to find a remote gambling place and pretend to be gamblers. Who knew such a coincidence? He actually ran into his enemy's house.
For a moment, he became angry and shouted: "In that case, let me use some of you as replacements!"
A shot of horse stick makes the tiger and the tiger fly. The three of them are only mediocre in martial arts. Which one can get close to the horse?
At this time, Zongze rushed to the horse and stabbed with a spear, which was accurate and fast. Cao Cao was stunned: "This old man is extraordinary!"
At that moment, he cheered up and fought against the four generals alone. Xiang Chong and Li Gun saw them and hurriedly came to help. The two barbarian cards rolled to the ground and took the weapons of Er Zou and Le He, leaving Cao Cao and Zong Ze to fight alone.
Cao Cao fought with Zongze for a few moves, and his anger gradually subsided. He thought that in order to strike, you still need to be strong. Although this old man had some advantages, in the final analysis, he still speaks on the battlefield. How can his ragtag army be as good as my long-trained army? His helpers are ultimately inferior to my brothers. Even if Shi Xiu and others were temporarily defeated, how dare they kill Sun Li with Sun Li in their hands?
For a while, his mind gradually calmed down, and Ning Xin fought with Zong Ze for a while. Suddenly, the swords of the two sides collided, and the sword was swept back violently. Zou Yuan and the others were fighting fiercely with Xiang Chong and Li Gun. Tumbled to the ground.
Xiang Chong was shocked, Man Pai knocked away the spear and shot with a flying knife. Zou Run quickly dodged and was hit in the right arm, and the ax fell to the ground immediately.
When Lehe saw this, he panicked and was about to leave, but was hit by Li Gun with a barbarian card. He immediately fell to the ground. Several card players jumped out and captured three people immediately.
Zongze was furious when he saw it and shouted: "Despicable!" Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "The two armies are going to war. At the moment of life and death, you tell me whether you are despicable or not? Xiang Chong, give this old man a flying knife." .”
Xiang Chong pulled out a flying knife from his back and made various gestures. Zongze suddenly panicked, and his attention was usually on the flying knife in his hand. Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack him, and he was in a hurry.
At this time, all the soldiers of Dengzhou Minzhuang were heard shouting in unison: "We are defeated, defeated." However, they could not withstand the attack of Cao Jun and finally collapsed.
At this moment, the battle situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Sun Xin shouted: "Brothers, don't do anything, just leave quickly!" With a false stab, he turned his horse to escape, but Deng Fei took off his hand and threw the iron chain, whistling and smashing it. On his back, he suddenly somersaulted and fell off the horse.
Sister-in-law Gu hurriedly came to save her husband, but her sword skills were messed up, and she was knocked off her horse by Niu Gao with his mace. This was because Niu Gao saw that she was a woman and could actually deal with him, and he admired her in his heart, so he showed mercy. Otherwise, a blow to the head with a mace would have killed this strong woman.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao turned around and ran away. How fierce is Qin Ming? He was willing to let him go. Just as he was about to chase him, the two men took off their small crossbows from their waists and turned around to shoot. Qin Ming quickly dodged and the two took the opportunity to get into the forest.
Qin Ming was angry and wanted to catch up, but the fire in the mountain forest became stronger and stronger. Qin Ming's horse refused to enter even if it was alive. Qin Ming said bitterly: "It's better to beat two idiots to death with my stick than to be burned to death." ?”
Before he finished speaking, a burst of purple lightning suddenly swept across the sky like a startling dragon. In a moment, deafening thunder rang out. Everyone fighting was shocked by it, and the swords and guns in their hands could not help but slow down.
Immediately, the heavy rain poured down like a river. The lantern was immediately extinguished as soon as the fire was fired, and everyone's vision was dimmed.
Fortunately, the forest fire is still going out, and people can be seen in the shadows.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the defeated troops in Dengzhou dispersed in a hurry. These people were all natives of the hometown and were familiar with the roads. They all took advantage of the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
Zongze thought he was going to die today, but he didn't expect life to come from the sky. He was not a stubborn person, so he immediately shot a feint, pulled his horse and ran away, disappearing into the darkness.
The rainy ground was slippery and the road was unfamiliar, so Cao Cao did not dare to pursue him. He loudly shouted to his men to concentrate on him. The captured uncles and nephews of the Zou family, Lehe, Sun Xin, Sister-in-law Gu, and several officers and soldiers were also closely guarded. When everyone gathered together, he asked where the nearest village was, and rushed to the village to take shelter from the rain.
The rain continued until noon the next day.
Cao Cao put on dry clothes, took Qin Ming and Deng Fei, and inspected the village. He found out that the soldiers who were staying in each house had not robbed or deceived anyone, so he took the prisoners out and kept them. Give some money to the villagers and wait for the whole team to set off.
Suddenly Zou Yuan shouted: "Deng Fei! That person riding the horse over there is my brother Deng Fei?"
Deng Fei turned around and saw Zou Yuan, whose body was covered with mud and his face was filled with confusion. Seeing this, Zou Run quickly lowered his head, revealing the tumor on the back of his head. Deng Fei was shocked and said, "Ah, how come it's you two?"
He quickly jumped off his horse and rushed over: "How come your uncle and nephew were also captured?"
Zou Yuan's face was full of regret. After seeing the whole story of his acquaintance with Cao Cao and others, Deng Fei shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "You two have never had a chance to meet each other. The incense has been burned into the temple of the real temple, but the incense has been folded and left. Seeking immortality. That’s all, let’s just be friends. I’ll go and intercede with my brother to save the lives of your uncle and nephew!”
After saying that, he quickly went to find Cao Cao and begged: "In the past, when Yang Lin and I were together in the green forest, we had some friendship with the uncle and nephew of the Zou family. These two people are good people and have great loyalty. I beg you, for the sake of my younger brother, to spare their lives." .”
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this and said: "I didn't want to kill them. As soon as we met, they used them to make rafts. It was reasonable for him and me to be unhappy. I apologized again at the right time, but by some strange combination of circumstances, Zongze was killed. Take the opportunity to accept them. Mr. Zongze is also tolerant, and with Sun Xin's kindness, it will not be difficult to win their hearts. You can relax, I won't hurt him, I will only trade them for Shi Xiu."
Deng Fei immediately felt relieved after hearing this. Everyone walked slowly towards Dengzhou. When they passed Dengyun Mountain, they saw that half of the mountain had been burned down. The large trees that were originally lush and leafy were now turned into black patches. The wood points directly to the sky, and the scene is very desolate.
Cao Cao sighed: "We know that war is not a good luck symbol. Now, with just a slight movement, half of a good mountain has been built. In the future, war will break out, and the earth will collapse and the people will be displaced. Alas, speaking of the heavy rain last night, it was a sign of mercy from God. At least half the mountain was left behind.”
Qin Mingdao: "Who told us to be in the game? Since we don't want to let people prey on us, we can only rely on fighting to restore peace. If we kill more enemies, good times will come sooner."
After hearing what he said, Cao Cao couldn't help but be happy: "Brother's words make it clear. With a Bodhisattva's heart and Shura's methods, he looks like a leading general."
The group of people walked forward and saw that they were about to reach Dengzhou. Suddenly, a middle-aged man on horseback stopped in the middle of the road, clasped his fists and shouted: "Is the person coming here an official from Wuhan?"
Cao Cao stopped his army and horse, then stepped forward and replied: "It's Wu, who are you? Why did you stop my army and horse?"
The man said: "My father Zongze, I am Zongfang!"
Qin Ming became angry after hearing this. He picked up the mace and said, "Your father has been defeated. How dare you stop my army alone? Come on, let me see where you are."
Zongfang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I am not here to make enemies with you. To be honest, my father was sweating profusely from fighting last night. After being poured down by the autumn rain, he fell ill. However, the people in Dengzhou all Feeling the kindness of my father, I am willing to serve for him. This is what is called united will to form a city! If Wu Daguan and his men are determined to attack the city, even though the soldiers are elite and brave, I am afraid it will not be easy to do so. It will only hurt people's lives and have no benefit. I don't know what Wu Daguan and his men think. ?”
Cao Cao defeated Zongze last night, killing the army and people of Dengzhou to the point of defeat. If it hadn't been for a heavy rain, he would have completely wiped out the enemy. However, my own casualties were around 200. I thought that with these 800 people left, if the army and the people were united in defending, it would indeed be difficult to capture them. I nodded and said, "I trust your words. I only tell you your purpose of coming."
Zongfang immediately smiled after hearing this and spoke something.
There is a branch of teaching: with a roar of thunder, the sky and the river pour down, and in the middle of the night, the rain and the mountains stop and the fire stops. Even if he quits fighting every now and then, his eyes will no longer be as green as before.
Dead today. . .
