Tong Guan's army withdrew. Although Lao Cao knew that the Jinling Incident was about to happen, he did not dare to be careless and sent out scouting horses, fearing that his plan would fall into his trap and the boat would capsize in the ditch.
Within a day or two, news came back that all the officers and soldiers had indeed withdrawn, but Muzhou was in ruins, especially in Qingxi County, where ten houses and nine were empty, and all the nearby villages were massacred.
Most of Fang La's troops were from the local area. When they heard this, they cried for their fathers and mothers, and there was a lot of wailing in Bangyuan Cave. Although Lao Cao was as stone-hearted and saw his emotions, he couldn't help lamenting the tragedy of the military disaster.
For important figures such as Fang La, they all know that if they cannot destroy, they cannot establish. What's more, with Cao Cao as a big player, a temporary setback is nothing to worry about.
However, for the soldiers under his command, after being defeated, it would bring disaster to their country, and they would inevitably become discouraged and unable to recover.
Therefore, Li Kui mentioned that he wanted to sacrifice heaven and earth and announce the return of Liangshan Mingjiao. For him, it was just for fun, but for Lao Cao, it was just to boost the morale of the army.
In order to sacrifice the Heavenly Pig and Sheep, Fan Rui stood up and went straight to Bangyuandong's cell to pick up Xin Xingzong. Fearing that he would tell him about the two men's mischief, he first cut off his tongue with a dagger, dragged him by his hair to the hall, and threw it at The man on the ground laughed and said: "Brothers, aren't these ready-made pigs and sheep?"
Xin Xingzong was horrified. He suddenly remembered that he had formed an alliance with Fan Rui in Hangzhou. He had pointed out a lamp and vowed to be a true brother. If he was not sincere, he would be transformed into a pig or sheep and be steamed in braised sauce. But he did not expect that he would have to fulfill his oath today!
In desperation, he immediately wanted to sell his "ally", pointed at Fan Rui and screamed, blood surged from the severed tongue area, and he almost choked to death.
He knew that life and death were on the line at this moment, so he held back the pain, stretched out his hand to wet his tongue with blood, and was about to write on the ground. Fan Rui had already expected it, and stepped down with a heavy foot, breaking the opponent's palm, pointing and cursing: "This guy's bones are tough." , there were constant scoldings in the prison, even after I cut out my tongue, they still wrote and scolded me!"
As he spoke, he kicked Xin Xingzong's left hand again.
Everyone had no doubt that he was there, and laughed and cursed one after another, but Fang Jinzhi recognized Xin Xingzong with a "Hey", pointed and cried: "Dad, it was this dog officer who captured Tian Ding. If Brother Wu hadn't arrived in time, even My daughter will be killed by him, and the second brother of the Li family will also be killed by him, cutting him into pieces with a knife."
Fang La said bitterly: "I must handle this guy carefully."
Li Tianrun's eyes were filled with blood. Everyone in the Ming Cult knew that his parents died very young and he raised his younger brother alone. He was said to be an elder brother, more like a father.
Therefore, when I first heard the bad news, I was really distraught, so much so that my injuries were severe. If An Daoquan hadn't arrived in time, I would have been dead. Now that I saw the culprit, how could I hold back?
He quickly stepped forward, gritted his teeth and begged for orders: "Let me take care of him!" Fang Layunzhi said: "I'm just trying to see what you can do!"
Li Tianrun nodded, mentioned Xin Xingzong fiercely, stared into his eyes, his mind wandered through the years when the brothers depended on each other, and the words he spoke sadly made people feel chills on their backs——
"When Li was a boy, he begged for food with Tianyou and almost starved to death. He was kept in a restaurant by a kind-hearted owner. However, he learned in the kitchen for several years. When it comes to making sheep, he is best at..."
His eyes were like ice, passing over Xin Xingzong's body inch by inch, and he spoke slowly.
"I still remember the first time I roasted a lamb. I used the wrong heat and burnt a piece of the boss. I had a good meal with my boss. God bless ate all the burnt meat and said it tasted delicious. Haha, that was the first time he ate mutton. ...Li made a vow at that time that one day, my brother would have mutton to eat every day..."
When he said this, his voice gradually became shrill, and he raised his head and screamed: "God bless you! Your heroic spirit is not far away. As an elder brother, I managed to take care of this sheep and practice it for you!"
Xin Xingzong had his hands and tongue cut off, which was already in unbearable pain. At this moment, he was even more trembling and urinating.
Li Tianrun didn't mind it, so he peeled off the clothes, ordered two buckets of cold water to be poured on it, picked up a sharp peeling knife, and said in a ferocious voice: "First remove the skin, then cut and roast it carefully."
Fang Jinzhi hated this man surnamed Xin for harming her younger brother, so she came forward and gritted her teeth to watch. As soon as she saw him undoing a few inches of skin, she couldn't help retching, and her face turned pale. Cao Cao advised: "There is a lot of blood here, I will accompany you." Take a walk outside.”
Fang Jinzhi shook his head and said fiercely: "Brother Wu, don't underestimate me. I am also a ruthless and ruthless woman... ugh!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Tianrun made a "chi" sound and tore off the skin of Xin Xingzong's forearm like tearing off his sleeve. Xin Xingzong howled loudly. Fang Jinzhi trembled all over, jumped up like a rabbit, covered his mouth and smoked.
Li Tianrun had a look of relief on his face. He took his time and unhurriedly cut off a piece of skin alive. Then he cut and roasted it from bottom to top until the lower half was cooked. Then he lost his temper. Li Tianrun said coldly: "Dog If you exchange your life for my brother’s life, this guy will be better off after all!”
The head was cut off with a knife and placed on the table.
Li Kui squatted aside and watched with great interest. He stared at his big copper bell-like eyes and commented seriously: "This brother's craftsmanship is better than that of Wang Aohu. Compared with the old master who chopped up Wang Aohu, he is also unique. You see, he doesn’t even need a fishing net. The cut is about the same size, and the roast is delicious..."
Lao Cao saw the movements in his throat, swallowing saliva, frowned and kicked him: "You black guy, why are you eating and drinking when your brother is short? You are also greedy for human flesh. When I go back, I will tell Baolian..."
Li Kui hugged Lao Cao in a panic and complained: "Brother, if you don't want it, why is Tieniu so greedy? If Baolian finds out, he will drive me to sleep in the kitchen."
Next to him, Shi Bao stared at the heads on the table for a long time, smacked his lips and said: "It's not beautiful to have only one sheep head. I heard that the ancients used three animals to sacrifice to heaven. There are Wang De and Yao Pingzhong in the prison, so why not get them?" , one is a pig and the other is a cow, wouldn’t it be wonderful?”
Cao Cao panicked and hugged Shi Bao, complaining: "A sheep's head is enough, brother, sincerity is what is said to be spiritual. Is it possible that God is greedy for this bloody food? Those two heroes are of great use as brothers. Don't make any plans." .”
Yao Pingzhong and Wang De killed many southern generals, especially Wang De who killed Wang Ren, the "Shocking Cloud Spear", and had a close relationship with Shi Bao. Yao Pingzhong also kicked Monk Deng's little monk, Shi Bao and others Thinking of it, naturally the desire to kill is hard to get rid of.
However, although these two had a blood debt, they were fighting in battle after all, and each had his own master. It was not a personal grudge, unlike Xin Xingzong who first captured Li Tianyou himself and then brutally killed him.
Therefore, seeing that Cao Cao wanted to surrender the two generals, Shi Bao and others had no choice but to endure their bad breath.
At that moment, everyone sacrificed sheep heads to heaven, and Cao Cao and Fang La stood side by side, announcing that the Ming Cult would be incorporated into Liangshan.
And because Cao Cao was about to leave, Fang La took the initiative to organize a happy event for Cao Cao and Fang Jinzhi.
If in the past, the Qingzhou Jiedu envoy married a Mingjiao princess, the excitement might not be as exciting as the emperor's concubine.
However, after a hard battle at this time, everything in Bangyuan Cave was lacking, not even much wine. Fortunately, although the things outside were simple, the intentions were true. All the brothers were happy and busy.
Li Kui was clamoring to be the male matchmaker, but Lu Zhishen snatched the title. He wanted to be the female matchmaker, but was suppressed by Monk Deng. He wanted to be the best man, but Shi Jin had already cleaned himself up, changed his gown, and stood in front of Lao Cao with a smile. On his side, he was so angry that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and refused to get up.
Everyone in the Mingjiao couldn't help but laugh when they saw that he was very happy when he saw Peixin Xingzong earlier and knew that this man was a murderer. Unexpectedly, he acted petty like a child at this moment.
Shi Bao teased him and said, "How can a bride not sit in a sedan chair when she gets married? Brothers Tieniu are so strong and strong. They can be matchmakers and best grooms. They are worthy of being a sedan bearers."
Li Kui was overjoyed when he heard this. He went out of the cave with an axe, cut down a lot of wood and bamboo with a bang, and asked a few soldiers who knew carpentry to build a sedan for him.
They also picked a lot of mountain flowers and decorated the sedan chair with vitality and interest. When Shi Bao saw it, he also liked it and immediately pulled Liu Tang and Zheng Biao, and four generals carried the sedan chair for Jin Zhi.
After Fang Jinzhi fulfilled her long-cherished wish, she no longer had a phoenix crown or a halo, and her appearance was stunning. As she looked at it, her joy almost overflowed, and she didn't care about the simple form.
When Lao Cao saw her joy and enthusiasm, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and resorted to all the tricks in his life to imitate the harmonious singing of Luan and Phoenix.
The next day, Cao Cao "returned home" with Jin Zhi, and formally paid homage to Mrs. Fang La and Mrs. Shao as his son-in-law. The military morale of the entire Ming Cult was lifted.
Another day, Cao Cao ordered Qin Ming, Suo Chao, Ruan Xiaowu, Zu Shiyuan, Fang Qifu and others to lead 10,000 men and horses who were willing to go to Qingzhou. They headed to eastern Zhejiang first, collecting large ships along the way, and returned to Qingzhou by sea.
A few days later, Lao Cao brought Xin Na's lovely wife, Li Kui, Wang Yin and other generals to accompany him. He said goodbye to Fang La and his wife and headed to Shezhou via Huixing Road. He met Fang Baihua and others and returned to Qingzhou by land.
Lu Zhishen and others did not stay long. The day after Lao Cao left, Fang La took six generals and thousands of old troops who were unwilling to leave to join Yu Wupo.
There are several flowers in bloom, one for each: not to mention the two places where Qin Ming and Fangla were visited, but only Lao Cao and his party, traveling over mountains and ridges to Shezhou. This journey was rugged and difficult, but we also saw some real mountains and rivers, which was refreshing and refreshing.
At this time, all the major events were over, and there were new people around. Lao Cao was in high spirits and talked non-stop. Whenever he saw a strange scene, he would call Li Kui to write a poem about it.
After traveling like this for more than a hundred miles, the "Qingzhou Poet Immortal" showed off his talents and wrote more than ten excellent works, such as: My brother and I came to walk in the mountains, and we walked happily. Walking through this mountain and that mountain, the higher the mountain, the wider your eyes become.
Another example: The eagle croaked in the sky, the toad jumped in the water, the sister-in-law looked at it and laughed, and the brother came to hug her.
Shi Bao, Liu Tang and others cheered without realizing it. Li Kui became more and more proud. He peeled off many bamboo shoots along the way and carefully wrote them down with ocher strokes. When he wanted to see Niu Gao, he asked him to read them.
Fearing that these masterpieces would be lost, they hid them against their flesh in their clothes. Not far away, the fine hairs on the bamboo shoots stuck into their pores. They sweated and felt painful and itchy. They scratched and scratched them like black bears, making everyone laugh.
After traveling for two days, we arrived at Shezhou. When we turned out of the mountains, we saw a group of people and horses coming in a hurry, kicking up dust for a long time.
Everyone was shocked, and Wang Yin shouted: "Don't panic, where is the large group of people here in Shezhou? Let Wang go and take a look."
He picked up the gun in his hand and rode the horse "Zhuanshanfei". The four hooves of the horse spread out. Soon he arrived in front of the army, but he saw the general in front of him, it was the Mingjiao saint Fang Baihua. He suddenly said in wonder: "Holy Saint Female! How did you get here if you weren’t stationed at the pass?”
Fang Baihua stopped the troops, took a closer look, and wondered: "Wang Shangshu! If you didn't go to save Bangyuan Cave, why are you here?"
Wang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know something. The officers and soldiers are sharp and our army has been defeated repeatedly. Fortunately, 'Wu Mengde' Wu Dalang saved everyone. Now that the officers and soldiers have withdrawn, your brother has become Wu Zhi's father-in-law and has been in Liangshan, Mingjiao." Become a family.”
Fang Baihua laughed loudly when he heard the words, showing all kinds of charm: "Ah, I am in trouble how to talk to my brother! Wang Shangshu, you can no longer call me a saint in the future. Baihua now belongs to her body and mind, and she has become a family with Liangshan." .”
Wang Yinzhengqi saw a white horse coming to the front of the battle, with a majestic fat white man sitting on it, smiling and saying: "Could it be that the 'Jade Faced Spear God' is in front of you? I am Lu Junyi, the brother of 'Wu Mengde', and also your family Holy Duke’s sister-in-law! I wonder where my brother is?”
After Wang Yin heard this, he laughed loudly, turned around and left, shouting: "Come quickly, good son-in-law, but he is from his own family, your brother surnamed Lu, and your uncle surnamed Lu, please come and recognize me." A relative."
Lao Cao heard his shouting from a distance. Even though he was always shrewd, he was confused for a moment. Only then did he realize. He couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Well, why is there such a strange thing in the world? Is Brother Lu enlightened? He actually knows how to find a wife."
After saying that, Ce immediately went to greet him, but Fang Jinzhi was stunned: "That's it! Where should we start talking about this weird relationship? If we talk about this weird relationship from brother Wu's side, wouldn't my aunt become my younger brother and sister-in-law? "
Shi Bao and others were also surprised when they heard this. Fang Baihua was more than just a saint from the Ming Cult? She is the goddess in the hearts of all their brothers. This delicate flower has been broken. How can we not get angry?
Now everyone is working hard to see who can hold the beauty back.
Although they met each other not long ago, they experienced many things and felt that things are right and people are wrong.
Lao Cao rushed over and saw Fang Baihua at a glance. He felt that this woman was extraordinarily beautiful but also heroic. Her whole body was filled with air. He immediately nodded secretly: "This is my true brother-in-law!"
Immediately dismounted, smiled and clasped his fists: "My lord, Wu Zhi, I have met Aunt Baihua! I heard that my aunt has got a good son-in-law. Please invite my uncle to let my nephew-in-law see me."
Fang Baihua jumped off the horse and laughed loudly: "So you are Wu Dalang. You are an interesting person. No wonder my niece never forgets him. Husband, come and meet your niece-in-law."
Lu Junyi was generous and cheerful when he saw Wang Yin and others. As soon as Lao Cao arrived, he hid behind Duan Sanniang, but was dragged out by Han Wu and said loudly: "Brother Lu, please meet your nephew-in-law soon."
As expected, Lao Cao stepped forward and bowed: "My nephew Wu Zhi..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Junyi had already hugged him: "Brother, don't make fun of me, I'm really ashamed of you!"
Fang Baihua clicked her tongue twice, shook her head and said, "After all, he is a Liangshan hero with deep loyalty. You see, hugging his brother is more powerful than hugging his wife."
The so-called thirty-year-old is like a wolf. Fang Baihua spent time with many heroes in the Ming Cult and was used to making fun of her. Although she has the body of a girl, in her heart she lives like a man who picks his feet. She teases her husband without any shyness.
Shi Bao and others saw that although the goddess was married, she still retained her yesterday's grace. Apart from feeling sad, they also felt comforted. Anyway, the goddess would get married sooner or later. Marrying Yu Qilin was not as good as marrying other old brothers besides her own family. ? So they all laughed.
Lu Junyi was invincible in battle, but he was usually a little tender-faced. It was just a joke among his brothers. Shi Bao and others were all strangers. They laughed at him like this, which made him even more embarrassed. With a cry, he bowed his head and buried himself on Lao Cao's shoulder. .
Fang Baihua walked over and snatched the unicorn from Lao Cao's arms. She hugged him tightly and stared at Shi Bao and others: "Anyone who dares to laugh at my husband will chop you off with a knife!"
Shi Bao and others all shut up.
Wu Yong waited for everyone to hold back their laughter, went forward to pay homage to Lao Cao, and reported: "Nvxia Fang captured the general in front of the formation, and the jade unicorn returned with the beauty in her arms. Even Yuling Pass made a dowry. Everyone joined forces and was about to Go to Muzhou to meet your brother."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "There are many things, it's a long story, and we will talk about it in detail later in the evening. Now the Mingjiao and I are both members of the same family. Let me introduce to you some brothers who are extravagant!"
At that moment, the heroes on both sides were introduced to each other. They all joined forces and went to Shezhou to settle first.
This is exactly what it is: a pair of brothers and two sisters-in-law, each marrying a beautiful woman and sharing his husband-in-law. After returning from the victorious campaign in the south of the Yangtze River, the heroes of the Han Dynasty joined forces and the Han Dynasty flourished.
I didn’t have time to make up for yesterday’s, sorry! Take time to make up for it these two days.
