When Cao Cao saw Dai Zong arriving, he was very happy. He hugged him and said with a smile: "Now that Dean Dai is here, the lives of Fang Jie and others are now safe."
If Dai Zong's background as a public servant had not been implicated by Li Kui, how smart would he have been if he had prospered in Laochengying? Seeing Lao Cao's eyes move slightly before speaking, he obviously noticed Xia Houcheng, and immediately knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "It's good to make my brother happy. Brother An went to see him in person and said that he was lucky to arrive in time. Thanks to my brother's proper handling, Marshal Fang Jie was able to recover as before, and the other brothers were also fine."
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly and sighed: "That's good, that's good. It's not worth your hard work... Hey, this brother is a bit unfamiliar. Could it be that he is a new brother on the mountain?"
Dai Zong's armor and horse can only bring one person with him at most. Even if there are any new brothers who come to the mountain, how can he bring them?
Xia Houcheng couldn't change his mind. He thought that when this man first met his brothers, the first thing he thought about was the injuries of Fang Jie and others. He was really a good man who valued love and justice, and he admired him deeply.
At this moment, when he saw him asking about himself, Dai Zong gave a deep salute without waiting for Dai Zong to speak: "My younger brother Xia Houcheng, whose bandit name is the 'Nine Peaks Hunter King', did not have the opportunity to go to Guishan. He is a general under the command of Zu Shiyuan, the right prime minister. In the past, I heard my dear friend's name for a long time in the world, and now that I can meet him, I am indeed extremely righteous."
Cao Cao hurriedly returned the gift with a smile on his face: "What a 'Hunter King of Nine Peaks'. Brother Xiahou must also be a hunter. I have two brothers, one is a 'two-headed snake' to solve treasures, and the other is a 'two-tailed scorpion' to solve treasures. I used to be a hunter. Last year in the Kingdom of Jin, I encountered a strange python that was more than ten feet long. Thanks to his two brothers who had the skills to kill the beast, I knew that there were many heroes among the hunters!"
Xia Houcheng said in shock: "A python that is more than ten feet long? Isn't that a dragon? These two brothers are so extravagant. If you have the chance to meet him, you must ask for advice."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "The two of them traveled thousands of miles with me last year and suffered a lot, so I didn't bring him here on this trip. But heroes in the world must be destined. You and he are both outstanding hunters, so we should have them." Time to meet."
Xia Houcheng nodded repeatedly, looking very yearning.
Lao Cao looked at Dai Zongdao again: "Brother, I asked Tang Bin to deliver the message. I wanted to meet you in Muzhou, but to guard this pass, there was a delay. You and the Mingjiao heroes accepted it, and nothing happened, right?"
Xia Houcheng immediately looked at Dai Zong nervously, fearing that he would say something disrespectful to Wu Yingxing and lose his face. However, Dai Zong chuckled and said: "The leaders guarding Muzhou love each other very much. If they weren't worried about my brother, In such a situation, I’m still drinking at his place.”
Cao Cao sighed: "Hey, it seems that you know that Tongguan has bypassed the pass. Brother Yu is very sorry for Qifuzi this time. Although the pass was not lost, he didn't watch it."
Xia Houcheng saw that he looked desolate and lonely, and he was obviously very guilty, and he admired him even more: he was entrusted by others and loyal to others. This "Wu Mengde" really had the style of the ancients.
He quickly advised: "Brother Wu, don't say that. Most of the locals don't know about that trail. Who would have expected that Tong Guan would find him? It's only a matter of days. Besides, Brother Wu is here, and he has no peace of mind. He has let go of tens of thousands of people." The troops and horses guarding the city have greatly relieved the Holy Duke's worries."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "I have already explored that path, and specially sent hundreds of the original garrison at this pass to guard it. However, I didn't expect that the officers and soldiers were so brave that not one of them came up to report the news. I sent someone to deliver the meal the next day. Only when he saw corpses all over the ground did he realize that his main force had bypassed them."
Fan Rui heard it from the side and was secretly amused: The path was narrow and rugged. Even if three to five hundred people could not defeat the army of officers and soldiers, how could there not be a single messenger? If Fan hadn't taken some sweat medicine, which made him sleepy and weak, the officers and soldiers An Neng would have passed so easily.
Naturally, Xia Houcheng didn't know his inner slander, so he only tried to persuade him with good words: "It's all a matter of days. Even if the officers and soldiers are killed in Muzhou, the Holy Duke will naturally fight him decisively, and they happen to be surrounded and killed here."
Cao Cao "stirred up his spirits" and pulled Xia Houcheng and said: "In that case, brothers, let's go back to Muzhou with some food and wine and tell Shenggong and the others that I will guard Wulong Ridge here without any loss. If they kill Tong Guan, I will strangle the way back, and it will be extremely difficult for the officers and soldiers to be separated."
Xia Houcheng nodded repeatedly and followed him to meet the other heroes. After a good meal, he looked at Dai Zong and saw that he had no intention of going back with him, so he couldn't ask for it. He simply asked for a horse and rode it at home. .
After sending him down the ridge, Dai Zongfang said: "Brother, when Tang Bin returned to the mountain, he talked about the fighting along the way, and all the brothers wished they could participate. Now my brother's troops are divided into two groups, and the yin and yang are in harmony. Brother Chao Gai is afraid that there will be no one under your command to use. Therefore, in addition to me and An Daoquan going first, we also selected a few brothers who are capable of fighting and asked him to sneak in and join you in Muzhou."
Cao Cao laughed loudly: "But which brothers are coming?"
He knew well that when he first came to Jiangnan, he was an officer and soldier, so those heroes who were registered in the imperial court and had many acquaintances did not dare to lead him. Now that he was assisting Fang La as a Liangshan official, naturally many people could be dispatched. Being able to deal with the imperial court together with the heroes from the south must be a big event, and many people must be willing to join in.
Dai Zong informed one by one that they were: "Mr. Golden Sword" Li Zhu, "Flower Monk" Lu Zhishen, "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming, "Green Faced Beast" Yang Zhi, "Pioneer" Suo Chao, "Beautiful Beard Gong" Zhu Tong, " The Winged Tiger Lei Heng and the Huaixi Demon Duan Sanniang!
Cao Cao knew what Chao Gai meant as soon as he heard this. Although there were not many people coming, they were all capable of playing their own roles. None of the weaker generals were spared.
He smiled and said, "It's just that Mr. Li is here, why should Sanniang Duan also join in the fun? Isn't it satisfying to have sex once?"
Dai Zong also said with a smile: "Brother Haojiao learned that Mr. Jin Jian heard that there was a very powerful master among the officers and soldiers. One was afraid that he would assassinate his brother, and the other was that he was very skilled, so he came. As for Duan Sanniang, she Tang Bin was questioned, asking him whether Han Wu had kept his peace and had sex with the ladies along the way? Tang Bin was an honest man, and immediately refused to speak. Duan Sanniang was so angry that she flew into a rage and grabbed Chao Gai. Brother Chao Gai was rolling around and was about to come. Brother Chao Gai had never seen such a battle before? He was so frightened that he agreed repeatedly - now Duan Sanniang came fiercely with big and small maces, saying that he would use small sticks to smash the big head of that woman. , the big stick smashed Han Wu’s little head, tsk tsk, he’s really not afraid of people.”
When everyone heard about this, they laughed loudly and urged Lao Cao to end the war in Muzhou as soon as possible so that they could watch Duan Sanniang smash her head in anger.
Cao Cao calculated the time and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient. It's more than two thousand miles, why don't we take more than half a month? I will be my brother by then."
Then he said to Dai Zong: "When I joined Run and Su, Tong Guan was afraid that I would achieve great success on my own, so my brother took the opportunity to escape from prison and used the reputation of the Song Jiang brothers to help Fang La. However, he asked my Erlang to lead his troops to fight against Hu Xuan. Erzhou, by the way, go to Jinling to escort Zhu Meng. Now that Erzhou is under attack, Fang La must pay attention to this partial army. It is not difficult to find out that Erlang is the main general. I have also been exposed here. He knows that my brother is acting like this, so he must guess that I want to Intimidation and inducement took advantage of him, so I have a few words to tell Erlang. You will have a hard time tomorrow and go to Jinling Road to find Erlang to report the news. However, his reply was brought by "Shenjuzi", and you two can interact with each other. If we go back and forth, it will be easier for me to use my plan."
Dai Zong immediately patted his chest and said, "It's all on my little brother. My brother only gives orders, and my little brother will set off now."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "There is no rush for a day. It doesn't matter if you take a good rest for a day."
At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi, who was sitting at the door, coughed. Cao Cao knew that Jin Zhi had arrived. He immediately gave Dai Zong a look and said something about the situation of the wounded in Muzhou. As expected, the door curtain lifted and Fang Jinzhi walked in: "Wu Brother, your brother has arrived, why don't you ask me to welcome him together? He sent a miracle doctor to save Fang Jie's life. My father and brother are not here, so logically it is my turn to come out and say thank you."
After saying that, she bowed to Dai Zong and thanked him. Dai Zong saw that she and Cao Cao were quite close, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly returned the gift.
Cao Cao laughed loudly and called her to sit next to him: "This is brother Dai Zong, a hero from Liangshan. He has the magic method and can travel eight hundred miles a day. People in the world call him the 'divine Taibao'! Brother Dai, this is the saint." My father’s daughter, Princess Jinzhi, is also my brother’s fiancée.”
"Ah!" Fang Jinzhi felt shy and dizzy after hearing his introduction. He immediately forgot what he was going to say, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Hey! Since you have such a powerful brother, When you didn't have time to see me in the past, why not ask Brother Dai Zong to send you a letter?"
Lao Cao said "Ah" and was speechless for a moment.
This is precisely: since there is magic and magic, why is there no book to express love? But Jin Zhi is easy to fool, and he talks about winning or losing.
