Wu Song's flying halberd killed Gao Keli, the "Tai Sui God", with such majestic power that he shocked the scene.
The two thousand people under Gao Keli's command were all rushing to kill him while shouting, but now they all stopped in an extremely neat manner, as if they had rehearsed it thousands of times.
At this stop, morale was completely depleted, and everyone had a look of panic on their faces.
Ma Ling and others were overjoyed and were about to take advantage of the situation and rush to kill them. Wu Song shouted: "Wait a minute!" He stretched out his arms to block everyone, just like a roc spreading its wings, blocking everyone behind him.
Then he saw Wu Song raise his eyebrows, the divine light in his tiger eyes burst out, and he shouted: "Hey! I have something to say, just wait and listen - I have been ordered to beg Fang La this time. As a thief like you, you should be Kill them all, but my brother often said that the Chinese Miao people should help each other. Remember that we are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and remember that it is not easy for my parents to give birth to you, so why should I fill the ravines with my own flesh and blood for other people's ambitions? Therefore, I advise you with good intentions, Wouldn't it be nice if you, the wise ones, surrender early and save your lives for us to pacify the south and teach you to live and work in peace and contentment?"
How could Wu Erlang be so ambitious without Cao Cao's years of teaching and Zong Ze'er's support? I can't even say such words.
If someone else had said this, it would have been just a big statement and only made people laugh. However, Wu Song had just struck with his flying halberd, which was thrilling. Now he was shouting with such force and sonorous words that the two thousand thieves couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate.
After a while, someone among the thieves suddenly shouted unwillingly: "This general may not know why we rebelled with the Holy Duke? It's just because Zhu Meng was too cruel and didn't let us and other common people survive. How many good people in Jiangnan?" , all of them were harmed and their families were destroyed! Although the general allowed us to live and work in peace and contentment, Zhu Meng is still here, how can we live and work in peace and contentment?"
Liu Tang stared at him and said angrily: "My second brother is trying to persuade you with good intentions, but you have a lot to say? Stand up and recognize grandpa's knife!"
Wu Song was not angry, and stretched out his hand to stop Liu Tang. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said in a majestic voice: "That guy Zhu Meng has been running rampant in the southeast for many years and has always been lawless. I have also heard about it in Shandong. He is really a man who deserves to be beheaded. Fang La was killed one after another. Didn't the six prefectures and fifty-two counties capture that guy?"
Dozens of the thieves yelled angrily: "This guy has quick legs and has already fled to Jinling."
Wu Song nodded and swore an oath: "Let's do this - if you are willing to surrender and kill Zhu Meng, I will shoulder the responsibility!"
When the thieves heard this, they were all surprised and yelled: "You are a general of the imperial court. How dare you kill a minister without permission? Such words must be intentional to deceive each other."
Wu Song shouted: "I can kill you all with just a raise of my hand, why should we deceive each other? Wu Song, the Huo Dian Wei in Xia Shandong, has never broken his promise in his life, and he has spoken like a mountain. If you are willing to surrender, I will kill Zhu Meng with my own hands." .”
Many petty leaders among the bandits have traveled around the rivers and lakes in the past. Who has never heard of the good name of Kunzhong, the Wu clan of Shandong? When Wu Song signed up, everyone was moved: "Oh, could it be Wu Mengde's brother, Wu Song Wu Erlang? People like Wu Erlang would not be able to deceive us. In this case, we are willing to surrender."
These little leaders bowed their heads first, and the remaining soldiers knelt down one after another when they saw this.
Wu Song laughed loudly and ordered the surrendered soldiers to collect their weapons and escort them to see Cao Cao.
Here he beheaded his generals, surrendered all his troops, and everything went smoothly, but on the other side, it was not so peaceful.
But it was said that Li Kui led hundreds of people to fight, and Zhang Jinren, the "God of Thunder", led 2,000 troops to fight. The men from both sides were strangled under the city.
Ordinarily, the number of thieves was several times larger, and they should have had a huge advantage. However, Li Kui's men were all selected elite soldiers from Qingzhou's soldiers. Hundreds of them spontaneously formed large and small battle formations without Li Kui's command to control the enemy. Chaos, the fight was lively and dramatic.
The formations of the Qingzhou soldiers were interlocked with each other, each with its own portal. Li Kui, the killer, was in and out of them. He was like a tiger in the mountains and forests, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, darting east and west, chopping firewood with a pair of big axes. Harvest lives like this.
Zhang Jinren was unable to encircle and suppress Li Kui, and saw that his camp was attacked again. He was about to turn around to help him, but the Qingzhou soldiers' formation changed. They immediately switched from defense to attack, and they tightly entangled the enemy. In a short time, more than a thousand people were seen. The horse's murderous aura soared into the sky, and it rushed from the bandits' camp.
The leading general, with his hair disheveled and a gold and silver woven bandana on his forehead, showed his handsome appearance. He held a big gun in his hand and shouted: "That thief general knows Shanxi's 'Smashing Mountain' mountain." Shiqi?"
Zhang Jinren was furious, and he came to fight with his gun drawn. The two guns went up and down, becoming entangled in one place.
This Shan Shiqi was originally a powerful general under Tian Hu. In the battle at Shouyang Mountain in Xijing, he was subdued by Cao Cao and willingly served. He became one of the twelve mysterious generals in Liangshan.
This man was born into a wealthy family and learned how to use a forty-pound iron rod. Later, he switched to marksmanship and received careful guidance from famous masters such as Lin Chong and Xu Ning. Like a python turning over, Zhang Jinren couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
In fact, this Jinren is also very important. Among the twelve gods in the south of the Yangtze River, in terms of martial arts, he proudly ranks first. He has a poisonous snake spear technique and is extremely cunning and cunning, which is quite unique.
Originally, if it were a one-on-one fair fight, Shan Shiqi might not be able to defeat him within forty or fifty rounds.
Unfortunately, on the battlefield in front of him, he was alone. Shan Shiqi had a group of heroes like wolves and tigers to help him. With his troops and horses, he only charged. The two thousand people were attacked from both inside and outside, and they were instantly defeated. How could Zhang Jinren have the courage to deal with him slowly? War?
Therefore, the two of them fought for seven or eight times. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Jinren made a feint and tried to escape. However, Shan Shiqi refused to take advantage of him and ignored his feint. He stabbed out with all his strength and killed the "Thunderbolt God" It was a pity that this fierce general was knocked over by his horse. He fell to the ground with a thunderbolt.
Seeing this, the remaining troops under his command no longer had the will to fight, and they all knelt down and asked to surrender.
Cao Cao came on horseback. He first saw people kneeling on the ground and surrendered. Then he saw that Wu Song had not injured anyone and had brought two thousand prisoners. He couldn't help laughing loudly.
After laughing, his expression became solemn and he ordered: "All the brothers have sacrificed their lives for these consecutive great victories. Now you have worked so hard to defeat the enemy on the north bank in one go today! Erlang, please lead 300 people to help Ruan brothers. The remaining brothers were divided into four teams - two teams escorted the prisoners into the city, and then approached the city's strong civilians and fought out from the east and west gates. The other two teams took a detour and attacked behind the enemy's back. , so that both thieves can be defeated."
All the brothers agreed in unison, cheered up, and went to fight.
Lao Cao led Wu Yong and returned to the bandit camp with only twenty or thirty soldiers. He saw Chen Da and Yang Chun still fighting around Lu Shinang. Shi Jin immediately raided the outside of the formation, looking eager to try.
The three of them have been fighting hard to the point where they are close to seventy or eighty. Generals Chen and Yang are out of breath, Lu Shinang's face is covered with sweat, and the weapons in the hands of the three of them are too slow.
Cao Cao shouted: "Master Lu, your army has been destroyed. Your generals are either dead or captured, and even the fleet has fallen into my hands. If you know the opportunity, you can surrender quickly and still save your life." "
Lu Shinang's martial arts skills were superior to those of Chen and Yang. At the beginning of the battle, he wanted to leave but had no intention of fighting. The three of them fought to a draw. Later, when he saw that he couldn't escape, he calmed down and started fighting, but Shi Jin went around with the knife, so he had to distract himself and take precautions - so it was still a draw.
He only felt that this battle was extremely useless, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger. When he heard that Lao Cao was surrendering, the anger immediately rushed to Tianling Gai, and said angrily: "Fart, fart! You are only a few thousand people, Fortunately, the sneak attack was successful, it's just a small victory. I have an army of 20,000, so I will lose to you no matter what."
Cao Cao raised his head and laughed, and said proudly: "Don't you hear that 'soldiers should be more sophisticated than more, and generals should be more strategic than brave.' All your calculations were in my expectation. I deliberately tricked you into dividing your troops and defeating them one by one." , your resourcefulness is not as good as mine, and your soldiers and horses are not as elite as mine. Forget about just 20,000, there are 200,000, I think you are like a chicken and a dog! If you don't surrender, this life will not be saved."
When Lu Shinang heard this, his heart was shocked, and all his anger suddenly disappeared. He swung his spear with all his strength, forcing away the swords and spears, and suddenly looked at Cao Cao: "Unexpectedly, there is a person like you among the officers and soldiers. I would like to ask for your name." !”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, but he didn't call out the "Crazy Dragon" Li Dunzi: "Well, to tell you the truth, I am Yanggu Wuzhi."
Lu Shinang was shocked: "Wu Mengde?"
Then he frowned and said: "The year before last, Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others went to assassinate Zhu Xun. You helped me righteously. After returning, you were full of praise. They all said that you were a real hero. Logically speaking, you and Shenggong are friends, not enemies. Why are you willing to be the court's hawk and come to embarrass us?"
Cao Cao glanced at him, turned away, and said calmly: "The world is not won like this. The Holy Duke governs the heroes according to the doctrine, just like the Yellow Turban incident in the late Han Dynasty. Although he has the intention to save the world, he has no ability to save the world, and it is just chaos. The world."
After saying that, he smiled contemptuously and looked at Lu Shinang: "You raised an army, killed all the officials, and took control of your own family. Is there anyone who can restore production and care for the people? Officials are like snakes and tigers. You suffered from them in the past, but now you have gained power. If you act like a snake or a tiger, what will it do to the world?"
When Lu Shinang heard this, he was speechless. The rebels were revolting, and rapes and robberies were common. He was a high official in the party, so how could he not know about it?
After staying for a moment, he forced himself to argue: "Now that the great cause has just begun, there are fish and dragons mixed together. When the world is conquered one day, it will naturally be clear."
Cao Cao laughed: "Don't talk about the future, just talk about the present, and you will know that you are short-sighted. If I were Fang La, I would go to Hangzhou and concentrate all my strength to capture Jinling, then go down to Chaisang, and cross the Yangtze River to the north. It can take full advantage of the situation. In this way, the propaganda of the southern states and counties can be decided, and the affairs of the world can be decided. However, Fang La looked down on the Song Dynasty and advanced slowly, thinking that he was taking every step. In fact, he gave up the initiative to others. Now The Western Army has 150,000 soldiers marching south. You have no danger to rely on, and your soldiers and horses are not as good at fighting as the Western Army. They are already withered bones in the grave, so what future can you talk about?"
Lu Shinang took a breath of cold air, his expression changed, and he said blankly: "At the beginning of the army, a student from the Imperial Academy, Lu, surrendered to the general army. He strongly advised the Holy Duke to gather the entire army to seize Jinling first as a foundation. Chen Houtong also offered suggestions. Please hurry down to Jinling and drive across the river. The Holy Duke said with a smile: "The imperial court is decayed and we can't look south. We can get there slowly, so why rush?" Now it seems that the Western Army arrived so quickly. The Holy Duke actually made a miscalculation. .”
Cao Cao sighed: "If you have talented people but can't use them, why should you strive for the throne? Well, there is no need to say more. Now I just ask you, will you surrender?"
Lu Shinang laughed miserably and looked solemn: "I am the Protector of Dharma King. How can I surrender? You are so fierce and unwilling to show loyalty. You must be the enemy of the Holy Duke. I will kill you, Tong Guan." You may not be able to defeat the Holy Duke..."
Before he could finish his words, he mounted his horse and raised his spear, heading straight towards Cao Cao.
Wu Yong listened to Cao Cao talking about Fang La's military gains and losses, and was very drunk. Suddenly he saw Lu Shinang taking action. He was shocked and threw out the copper chain from his sleeve. He wanted to step forward to stop him, but heard Shi Jin shouting: "How dare you, thief!" He waved his three-pointed sword and blocked Cao Cao.
Lu Shinang refused to surrender, knowing that there was no luck today, and he only wanted to kill Cao Cao. He had been fighting for a long time, and was already exhausted. Now he had the will to die, but he squeezed out the last potential. A snake spear made the tiger and tiger alive. Power.
However, the martial arts of the "Nine-Patterned Dragon" are extraordinary and comparable to ordinary warriors. The three-pointed two-edged sword is fierce and agile, really like Erlang God coming to earth. Even though Lu Shinang was desperate, he could not get close to Cao Cao.
The two fought for a while, and Chen Da and Yang Chun both arrived. Lu Shinang was suddenly in a dilemma. However, Shi Jin saw that Cao Cao wanted to surrender, so he slowed down a little and kept looking at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and seeing Lu Shinang's determined expression, he sighed slightly: "That's all, since King Lu Fa has already made a plan, we can't force him to do it, so we'll just accept your loyalty."
When Shi Jin heard this, his eyes were blank: How can we call this guy loyal?
Wu Yongmu saw murderous intent, knowing that since Cao Cao revealed his true identity, the other party would not surrender and would not pardon him. He shouted coldly: "Shi Dalang, kill him!"
Only then did Shi Jin understand. With a sharp look on his face, the three-pointed sword made many shadows. Lu Shibao blocked it for a few times and screamed, but Chen Da shot him into the lower back. Yang Chun swung his sword diagonally. Cut him off his horse.
There is poetry to prove it:
There are talents in the immortal dwellings, and the lakes and seas are full of joy.
Read hundreds of volumes of war strategies, and dance with thousands of layers of snakes and spears.
The ambition is as fierce as a tiger, and the ambition is as high as a peng.
The guardian is willing to die, and the wind in the river moves the green lantern.
Cao Cao sighed and ordered: "Students, please note the merits of our brothers. This Lu Xinling is a loyal and righteous man, and I asked others to give him a generous burial."
Then he took Shi Jin and others to Yangzhou City. Xu Churen greeted them at the city gate with a smile, and boasted: "General Li Dunzi is really a genius in the world! I
When I learned about the Yongxing Army, I also saw famous generals in the Western Army. In terms of intelligence alone, no one could compare with General Li. The general beats 20,000 with three thousand, which is not inferior to the famous generals from ancient times. I will definitely write to the officials to ask for credit for the general. "
Cao Cao smiled and joked: "Mr. Xu, are you trying to help me, or are you trying to harm me? You have a turbulent relationship with Tong Guan and Cai Jing. Once this letter of application is published, your future will be bleak."
Xu Churen knew he was joking, and immediately laughed out loud, and was about to lead Cao Cao's horse. Cao Cao quickly dismounted, Xu Churen pretended to be unhappy and said: "People of Yangzhou, because you are alive, you don't allow me to ask for credit, and you don't allow me to lead the horse for you." Does the horse boast about merit?"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "All the soldiers and generals are willing to fight, so what merit do I have? It's enough to buy me a drink."
At this time, four armies attacked the east and west gates. There were five thousand rebels on both sides. It was still a situation where there were few soldiers and many thieves. However, Xu Churen did not panic at all. He took Cao Cao's hand and said, "Why don't you drink?" Easy, I have several famous wines in Yangzhou, I will ask General Li to taste them one by one today."
The two entered the city laughing and joking. On the way to the government office, they saw a group of government officials escorting a group of prisoners. They were old and young, and they were all crying. Only one girl was upright, with no tears on her face. Only angry, when he saw Xu Churen, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Master Xu, my father has deserted and should be executed for the crime. As a wife and daughter, I have been relegated to a lowly position and have no complaints. It's just that I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Sir Mercy, can you allow me to join the army and kill thieves to atone for my sins?"
The girl's voice was loud and clear. When Cao Cao heard the voice, he saw that she was seven feet tall and quite strong. However, with almond-shaped eyes and thick eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, she turned out to be a large beauty.
There are different teachings: Wu Erlang persuaded the rebels to surrender, and the white flower snake killed Lu Shinang. On the road to Yangzhou, I met a girl from the Liang family who didn’t like red makeup and preferred to be armed.
