An old soldier like Cao Cao has been in the army all his life. What kind of situation has he never encountered? He seems to be laughing and joking at ordinary times, but in fact his wariness is deep and deeply rooted in his bones.
This march was not a war, it was just to rush to the harbor to take a boat. However, because they were in Fusang territory, Lao Cao not only asked Sun An to bring 500 people to escort him, but also set up camp at ordinary times and refused to relax.
Although they did not have heavy supplies and could not build a strong camp that could withstand an attack, they still worked hard to cut down many small trees and large bamboos and build a high fence for one person.
The most embarrassing thing is that after the fence, a trench more than two feet deep was dug. First, it could be used by soldiers to relieve themselves. Second, if someone entered the camp at night and could not see the ground clearly in the dark, it would be a big somersault.
In addition, sentries posted two lines inside and outside - whistles were blown inside the fence, and there were four teams of ten people patrolling back and forth with torches. There were more than ten hunters outside, and there were no birds blindfolded. , taught him to carry a bow and arrow, climb high on the tree, and tie him tightly with vines.
That night, there was a loud killing sound outside the tent. Cao Cao jumped up from his deep sleep. He first put on his armor and drew his sword. Then he opened his eyes and woke up. He went out of the tent and looked around. He heard the enemies shouting in disorder. He didn't know how many there were in the darkness. He immediately shouted: "All troops, don't panic, follow me to defend the stronghold to face the enemy!"
Hearing the sound, all the brothers rushed to protect Lao Cao. Several generals under Sun An who knew Chinese immediately shouted loudly in Fusang language and rushed into the camp. While passing down Cao Cao's orders, they The sergeant who was sleeping to death was kicked awake and kicked out.
The enemies outside who were attacking at night were bound to win. Why did their leaders dare to attack at night? It is only because we know that today's Fuso, from the emperor to the head of Guizhou, eat mainly rice and vegetables, and rarely eat meat, so night blindness is extremely serious. And these enemy troops, because of the coastal area, have a lot of fish and shellfish in their food. You can see things at night, so if you are prepared and unprepared, don't you think you will win?
These enemies moved lightly and cautiously to the front of the stronghold. Seeing the patrols walking back and forth, they accurately calculated the rhythm of his back and forth, and were about to send people to sneak over for a sneak attack. Suddenly, several birds flew down from the big tree behind them. Arrow coming.
The arrow came unexpectedly, and the person who was hit by the arrow was caught off guard and howled miserably. The sentry in the village heard it, and immediately went to the fence, climbed on the prepared tree stump, and started shooting arrows randomly.
When the enemy leader saw this, he cursed and knew that his whereabouts had been revealed. He simply relied on the strength of his people and ordered a strong attack. All the troops shouted in unison and rushed forward with only a few bows and arrows. Soon they cut down the fence and poured in. .
The sentries screamed and retreated, and the enemies bravely pursued them. Within seven or eight steps, they stepped into the ditch and fell over. Then they saw that all the tents in the stronghold were on fire, and the flames were raging, shining like white. Average day.
The leaders couldn't help but be stunned: Why did he burn down his tent before we rushed over?
However, Cao Cao knew that most of his Fusang soldiers were blindfolded. When he saw that all the troops were coaxed out of the tents, he immediately ordered the tents to be lit.
There were several bonfires in the camp. After giving the order, Shi Wengong and others immediately started them, either throwing them with their hands or kicking them with their feet. The burning firewood turned into streaks of red light and fell on the tent.
When the fire started, the invisible Fuso soldiers could see it, and they were immediately calm. However, the enemy was stunned. They knew that the opportunity had been lost, but they broke through the wall again. They were unwilling to retreat, but they didn't dare to advance. They were in a dilemma. .
Seeing the enemy in a daze, Lao Cao was overjoyed, pointed his knife and shouted: "Kill the enemy!"
All the brothers shouted and fought out. Sun An waved his sword, and five hundred Fusang troops followed him to kill them. However, Cao Cao grabbed Shi Wengong and said, "Wait for a few of you and follow me on your horse to cut their way out."
He knew in his heart that although these five hundred Fusang troops had only been recruited for a few months, they had been trained extremely well by Sun An. They had also suppressed bandits several times near Ping'an Jing. They had seen blood. Their armors and weapons were obviously better than those at night. The enemy troops who attacked were well-equipped, and there were a group of tiger and wolf-like brothers leading the battle. Under this situation, since the enemy's night attack was fruitless, even if they were more numerous, they would still be defeated.
Therefore, regardless of the frontal battlefield, he took five of them, Shi Wengong, Fan Rui, Zhou Tong, Wu Lu, and Duan Jingzhu. They each got on their horses, ran out of the side door, and went straight to the enemy's rear.
In the camp, Jiao Ting brandished his two swords and was the first to charge into the battle. Several enemy warriors came towards them and were chopped down by him one by one with his swords. When an enemy general saw his bravery and came to fight with his spear, Jiao Ting slashed at them with his two swords. Jiang scrambled to parry, but Jie Bao came out from the side and stabbed him to death.
Then Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Meng Kang's three simple knives, two boring forks of Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, and Sun An's two heavy swords, six people rushed forward side by side, and instantly broke up the enemy formation, followed by 500 Fusang troops. Following a rush, the enemy was instantly routed.
Seeing this, the Fuso soldiers became more and more brave, shouting strangely, and wielding swords and guns. Li Jun looked at them and laughed and said: "These dwarfs are short, but they are good at fighting with the wind."
Just as he was talking, he saw a general with a tall robe and bright armor, surrounded by more than ten warriors about to retreat. Li Jun suddenly became energetic and pointed his sword: "That must be the leader of the thieves, brothers." Help me get this credit."
After saying this, he greeted Zhang Shun and Meng Kang, and the three of them rushed towards them. Seeing the fierceness of the three of them, the general roared loudly, and half of the warriors around him came to meet them, and blocked the three of them.
These seven or eight warriors were extremely brave. They didn't care about their own lives, and they slashed wildly with the sword in their hands. Li Jun and the other three were helpless, scratching their heads and scratching their heads anxiously as they watched the general rush out of the stronghold.
At this time, the sound of hoofbeats was suddenly heard, but Cao Cao and others came around to the rear. Shi Wengong took the lead. As soon as the ghost cry gun came out, the ghost roar was shocking and shocking. He immediately poked several people, and Duan Jingzhu next to him whipped up his long whip. , it tore people down with one roll, which was quite majestic.
The two warriors probably realized that Cao Cao was the general, and rushed towards him with a roar. Cao Cao used the Hualong Sword to slash left and right, cutting off his head as well as the blade.
In a moment, the enemy general was left alone and was about to escape. Zhou Tong flew up on horseback and gave a loud shout. He reached out from his saddle, lifted the enemy general with one arm, stuffed it under his armpit, and used all his strength to force him forward.
Ever since he heard that Sun Ce, the little overlord, "drank a general to death and held another general to death", he had wanted to imitate his predecessors for a long time, but he repeatedly failed. He also refused to admit that he was not as strong as Sun Ce. After all, no one had ever competed with him. He learned from this painful experience. , and finally found the answer: it was because of the wrong location.
Therefore, this time he learned to be good and no longer wanted to hold someone's waist, ribs or chest, but only held his neck firmly. After a while, the enemy was breathing hard, his eyes were bulging and his tongue was sticking out.
Wu Lu waved the knife between her eyebrows, Shi Wengong's Ghost Crying Spear, Lao Cao's knife, and Duan Jing's whip, the four of them ran back and forth, blocking the retreat of the defeated army, and killed nearly a hundred people in a row.
On the other side, Sun An led his troops to charge wildly. The defeated soldiers huddled together and were killed layer by layer. Some people shouted: "Surrender, surrender." They abandoned their weapons and knelt down.
Jiao Ting was about to slash him, but when he saw him kneeling down, he forced his sword back and slashed at others. Who among the defeated soldiers was stupider than who? Seeing such a situation, they all fell to their knees, their weapons clattering all over the floor.
When the brothers saw it, they stopped one after another, but the five hundred Fusang soldiers became even more excited. They slashed and slashed with swords and spears with increasing force. For a moment, the soldiers cried loudly. Sun An was furious when he saw it, and danced his swords. He slapped more than ten people in a row before he stopped.
At this time, Zhou Tong came to Cao Cao on horseback, threw the captured man to the ground, looked around, and was very excited. He suppressed his joy, deliberately made an expression of surprise and surprise, and even shouted "Xiao Cao". He shouted: "Ah, oh! Ah, oh! Brother, little brother, you have made a big mistake! I was going to capture this person and sacrifice him, but I was not careful, and instead I killed him - alive, alive, kidnapped, and dead!" I just want my brother to atone for his sins."
Wu Lu was shocked when she heard this. She quickly jumped off her horse, opened her hands, and stopped in front of Zhou Tong's horse like a little hen guarding her chicks. She pleaded for him: "Brother Wu, Zhou Lang didn't mean it. He didn't mean it either." If you are eager to kill the enemy, don’t you ask him about his crime, okay?”
Everyone was stunned, thinking that Zhou Tong acted so exaggeratedly, but Wu Lu didn't notice? It's a pity that she has good looks, temperament, and even martial arts skills, but it's a pity that she is a bit stupid.
Only Lao Cao, who was extremely experienced, knew that it was not Wu Lu who was stupid, but that she loved her so deeply that caring about her would lead to chaos. He couldn't help but sigh for a moment, thinking that Aguda was such a hero, and he gave birth to this daughter, and he loved her like beads. But she didn't have any eyes, so she fell in love with Zhou Tong, the shapeless person of her family. Fortunately, she was Aguda's daughter. If she were her own daughter, she wouldn't be able to vomit even if she had enough blood.
She glared at Wu Lu angrily, shook her head and sighed: "You silly woman, if he sells you one day, you might have to count the money for him."
Wu Lu was surprised: "Brother, are you kidding me? Haha, but Zhou Lang, how could he be willing to sell me out?"
Lao Cao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to everyone: "In my early years in Qinghe County, I sold some cooking cakes and married your sister-in-law Jinlian. Those wandering children deceived me for being weak and often teased me, 'What a piece of mutton. In the dog's mouth'..."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Tong with mixed feelings: "I feel at this moment that this sentence should be given to you. You kid, you must treat Wu Lu well in the future."
Although Wu Lu was fluent in Chinese, she couldn't hear these gag metaphors. She was at a loss for a while. She only understood that Lao Cao told Zhou Tong to treat her well, and quickly said: "Brother, just don't worry, Zhou Tong is very kind to me."
Zhou Tong also nodded wildly like he was pecking at rice: "Brother, don't worry. Although I am a prodigal, I know right from wrong in my heart. She gave up her dignity as a princess and followed me. If she betrays her heart, I am no longer worthy of being my brother."
Seeing that he was categorical in what he said, Cao Cao nodded, smiled, ignored the guy, dismounted and walked towards the surrendering soldiers.
Wu Lu looked at Zhou Tong in confusion and said cautiously: "Brother, are you not going to punish you?"
Seeing how infatuated she was, Zhou Tong couldn't help but be moved. He smiled in a low voice and said: "Your Zhou Lang is so powerful that he accidentally killed the enemy general. My brother was going to punish me, so it's all up to you to intercede for me." , therefore forgive me.”
After hearing this, Wu Lu was overjoyed, blooming like a hundred flowers, and even her eyes were full of smiles.
Lao Cao walked up to the surrendering soldiers and called one of Sun An's generals who spoke the best Chinese, Fujiwara Nagami's nephew, Fujiwaraemon, and said to him: "Ask these people. , but what is the origin and why did you come to steal my camp?"
Fujiwaraemon nodded sharply: "Hey!"
Immediately, a warrior with bright armor was picked up from among the soldiers, slapped four times with his front and back hands, and asked loudly in Fusang language.
Not long after, he came to report to Cao Cao: "Report to the general, these people are all members of the Matsuura clan. The man who was kidnapped by General Zhou Tong was their family head Keikazu Matsuura. This man was killed by the general. Brother Laiguang wanted to avenge him, so he gathered all his troops to attack."
Cao Cao wondered: "Does this guy have a good relationship with Minamoto no Yorimitsu?"
Fujiwaraemon smiled and said: "The general doesn't know something. Minamoto no Yorimitsu served as Hizen shou many years ago. When he took office, he moved many family members and clan brothers to Hizen country. Later, when he returned to the capital after serving, these clan members stayed behind. In Matsuura County of Hizen Province, he separated from the Genji family and changed his surname to Matsuura. Now he is the largest force in Hizen Province."
Cao Cao nodded - before many national guards sent out troops to attack, most of them only had a few hundred troops, but Matsuura Keihe brought more than a thousand people. After such a massacre, more than 400 people were still alive. , which shows that its strength is indeed extraordinary.
"Let the surrendered troops lead the way." Cao Cao said calmly: "Since we have made enemies, let's destroy the Matsuura clan."
The next day, Cao Cao forced his troops to surrender and lead the way. They suddenly rushed to the Matsuura family manor, surrounded them on all sides, and made noises to enter.
Poor Matsuura's soldiers and horses were all taken out by the family leader. How could they stop Cao Cao? The Matsuura clan's castle was taken down almost without bloodshed. More than 200 members of the clan were captured, and the cries were loud.
Cao Cao was unmoved and slaughtered all his men and looted his family property.
When Hizen heard this, he was extremely frightened and hurriedly came to see Cao Cao to plead guilty. Cao Cao saw that he was extremely respectful and interrogated him repeatedly. He really did not know about Matsuura's sneak attack, so he did not bother to embarrass him. He only taught him to prepare a large ship and sailors, and then let him go. Leave.
On October 17, the weather was sunny and the sea was calm. Cao Cao took a group of brothers on board the ship.
Because Fusang is rich in gold and silver, Cao Cao brought a large amount of gold and silver, as well as many Fusang specialties, with him on the ship.
Sun An ordered his men to guard the dock, and he came to the deck to say goodbye to everyone. His eyes were slightly red: "Brother is leaving. I don't know how long it will take before we see each other again."
The separation was imminent, and Lao Cao couldn't help but feel sad, but he forced a smile and said: "Brother, you are a good man, don't behave like a child. How can I, my brother, be willing to be separated from you for a long time? How many other brothers are you waiting for to save my and Zhangzi's child?" After taking the throne, we will definitely see each other again within two or three years."
He added: "Guan Zhong is both civil and military, he is cautious, and he can deal with all important matters. I have no worries because he is in charge. There is only one thing I want to tell you separately!"
When Sun An heard this, he perked up and heard Cao Cao say: "You have already passed the age. You have been fighting with me in the past few years. It has been very hard. It is rare for you to be raised in Fusang for a few years. Don't just focus on training in martial arts and your own life." Big things require a lot of care! Don't you see that Shi Xiu, Zhou Tong, and Ting Yu have done a good job first? Since that Kleina has caught your eye, you should take the initiative - see you next time You, I want to see you holding your son, remember?"
Seeing that Cao Cao had not forgotten about his marriage at this time, Sun An couldn't help but be moved. He nodded and said: "Brother, don't worry. I just need to go back and ask Luan Tingyu for advice."
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Jie Bao joked: "It doesn't matter anything else, but don't drink too much of the python bile wine."
After a hard time leaving, Sun An finally got off the boat. Looking at Li Jun and Zhang Shun, who were struggling with each other, he shouted loudly and guided a group of Fuso sailors to steer the boat and gradually melt into the distance.
There are different teachings: The little girl Wu Lu is deeply in love, and she is stronger than the overlord of Bo Fu Sai. Months of time passed by, and everything was smooth sailing. Farewell to Fusang.
