"Go! Of course I want to go!"
Before Hu Sanniang could answer, Duan Sanniang suddenly jumped up, stretched out his arm like a pillar, hugged Hu Sanniang, and said in a demonstration.
Lao Cao couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister, can you do what your sister-in-law does?"
Duan Sanniang raised her head and blew out two breaths from her nostrils: "Brother Wu wants to promote the prestige of the Han family? How can the younger sister and sister-in-law be absent! It just makes those barbarians know that the prestige of the Han family is not only Even a Han woman can ride on a horse and kill the enemy!"
Her saying that it didn't matter immediately aroused Hu Sanniang's courage that had been suppressed for several years! It should be noted that back then, the six characters "Hujiazhuang Yizhangqing" were also a strong brand name in Shandong Wulin!
Now she has been married to Cao Cao for several years, and she looks after her husband and raises her children every day, following the example of the housewives of the house. In fact, she felt tired early on. She was originally going to go on an expedition with Cao Cao, but she overheard it when she came to deliver tea. On a whim, she was stimulated by Duan Sanniang. , the female power became more and more powerful, and she shouted sweetly: "Sister Sanniang, you are so brave! Now that you and I are sisters, we will definitely let the barbarians know that there is a brave Sanniang in the Han family!"
Seeing her arrogance, Cao Cao laughed and said, "If you want to go, that's fine, but why should I ask the girls from the Duan family to go too?"
When Duan Sanniang heard this, her eyes widened and she said anxiously: "If the elder brother doesn't take the younger sister, how can he ask the younger sister to make contributions? Has the elder brother forgotten? The younger sister is going to be a female princess. When the time comes, she will be a princess." When discussing matters in the palace, you must stand in front of Han Wu, so that you can be proud of all the women in the world!"
All the brothers know that Lao Cao has always had the ambition to change the world, but it is enough for him to be aware of these things. This is the only thing that Sanniang always talks about, never forgetting her dream of a female princess.
Seeing that she was anxious, all the good men rushed to help her: "Brother, why don't you take the girl from the Duan family with you? You can be a companion with your sister-in-law."
"Yes, brother, even in terms of martial arts, the girls from the Duan family are very proud of themselves. I think they are better than Lu Fang and Guo Sheng!"
"Niugao, you black guy! Come on, come on, let's compete in the school field. Let's see if your 'Black Wind Tiger' is more powerful than my 'Little Wen Hou'!"
The judge heard that it turned out that Sanniang had been in Qingzhou for several months, and she was very popular with her. She was a woman, so she had full access to everyone's back house, and she formed a handkerchief relationship with the wives and concubines of all the heroes - - She divorced her husband first because Han Wu wanted to take a concubine. This behavior was so shocking that the wives and concubines did not dare to agree with their mouths, but they really admired her in their hearts.
If another woman behaves like this, men will naturally look down upon her. However, Duan Sanniang has a strong physique, a great drinking capacity, and a bold temperament. After several rounds of heavy drinking, the heroes in Qingzhou all treat her with sincerity and regard her as their own. brothers and sisters.
Fang Xuedu and others took the opportunity to advise: "Brother, not only Sanniang's sister, but also all the brothers should bring more of them. There are wolves and tigers at the front and there are many crises. The five thousand troops are inevitably weak, so it is better to send troops." How about fifty thousand."
Lao Cao has taken over the military power of the Eight Prefectures. He has been training a lot of troops in the past few years, but most of them are under the name of Tongque Trading Company. They are used as laborers and guards to the outside world. With the addition of Liangshan troops, it will really make a big fuss, with 200,000 soldiers. It can pull out 50,000 men without any effort.
When everyone talked about this section, Lao Cao became serious, waved his hand and said: "You only know one, but not the other. There is something special about my trip, and this section must not be unclear!"
Everyone hurriedly said: "I am willing to listen to my brother's teachings."
Cao Cao motioned for everyone to sit down, and said something calmly: "In my brother's heart, the real enemy is the Jurchen! From what I see, the remaining Khitan soldiers are like chickens and tiled dogs!"
When he said these words, his waist became straighter and straighter, he stroked his beard with his hand, and narrowed his eyes: "If I mobilize all my troops and horses, sweep from south to north in a majestic formation, I can reach the sixteen states of Youyun, with a flip of my hand." Yes! It’s just like that, haha——"
A cunning light flashed in his eyes: "Don't I really become the eagle dog of Zhao Guan's family? Besides, if I show my full strength, I am afraid that the court will not be able to tolerate me. It will not be surprising if the generals start to cause trouble and join forces with the Jurchens to suppress me."
Xia Houhu said in confusion: "In that case, why bother crossing the sea? Wouldn't it be nice for us to just hold Shandong and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"
Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "The Khitan situation is extremely poor, but they come to attack the Song Dynasty. They clearly regard the sons of the Han family as nothing. Although I do not want to work hard for the Zhao family, I do not want to lose the prestige of the Han family! Therefore, I have three purposes for going north. , The first is to show off my Han power! The second is to seize Youyan! The third is to scare the Jurchens! But I don’t use my own banner, I only pretend to be a hero in the north, but I follow the example of Liangshan and stand alone in Youyun."
After everyone heard this, they realized that Lao Cao was not planning to use the banner of the Song Army to regain Han territory!
In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the Northern Rebels are doing their own thing. After occupying Youyun, if they become independent forces, they will deal with the Jin and Song Dynasties. With Qingzhou secretly echoing them, the situation is promising.
Fang Xuedu thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Although my brother's plan is good, it's still a bit risky to lead only five thousand men?"
Lao Cao laughed and said: "Soldiers are more valuable than more. A few thousand black armors by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty are enough to dominate the world. If he can do it, can't I? Besides, the North is martial and it is in turmoil. I only need to show my name." , how many men and horses are needed?”
General Lu thought for a while and agreed: "Brother Fang, in fact, there are advantages to having fewer people. One is easier to supply, and the other is easier to move. Since there are enemies on all sides, we should move forward like the wind."
Speaking of this, everyone understood Lao Cao's intentions and no longer advised him to bring more troops.
Lao Cao smiled and said: "This matter is not a trivial matter. We need to make careful preparations to ensure that all strategies are in place. Xuedu, Xiahou, Shiyuan, and General Lu, the four of you, do not need to follow the army. You can guard the local area for me, protect the people's livelihood, and govern the country. Please be kind to me." Let’s discuss it, brother.”
The four stood up quickly and responded in unison.
Then he looked at Wang Yin and said, "I still have to work hard for my father-in-law and brother Gao to set off to Fusang as soon as possible to replace Xu Guanzhong and others. When Guanzhong comes back, he will be in charge of the military affairs of the various states and will echo Erlang from afar. I will be more and more worry-free." ”
Wang Yin responded with a smile: "After a few months of idle work, my bones are starting to itch. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on that overseas business for you."
Lao Cao nodded and dispersed everyone, leaving Dai Zong alone. He wrote a letter and asked him to hand it to Chao Gai and dispatch a group of brothers and soldiers to Qingzhou.
There was nothing to do for more than ten days. Lao Cao stayed with Tamamozai day and night. He often washed his face and gargled his mouth, and often did it himself. Although Tamamomae was moved, he refused to calm down and drove him several times to accompany him. Fang Jinzhi.
However, Jin Zhi was not as smart as Tamamo Mae. After getting pregnant, her emotions were easily fluctuated. When she heard that Lao Cao was going to send troops to fight, she became even more angry and wanted to tie Lao Cao to his belt.
She is so obsessed with life, but the other women don't care -:
Tamamo-mae has an insight into human nature and has her own way of manipulating men. She wishes that the more debt Lao Cao would owe him, the better;
Because his old father had to guard the country for her husband, Master Wang was about to part ways, so he stayed with Wang Yin every day to fulfill his filial piety, and also helped Wang Yin to purchase various necessities;
Hu Sanniang lost her temper because she couldn't wear the old armor. Now she practices swordsmanship for four hours a day and spends the rest of the time holding her son.
Only Xiao Pan and Pan Jinlian were really offended by Fang Jinzhi. She was so angry that she secretly ran to find Wang Po to learn the magical skills of beating villains. When Wang Po heard about it, she almost died of fright. The villain who stabbed your sister, this is obvious. It is the most taboo technique of Nightmare Suppression among the royal nobles!
Since she knew about these things, she didn't even dare to ignore them, for fear that Pan Jinlian would do something stupid and affect herself.
Immediately, he told Jin Lian the story that An Daoquan had just told her last night, adding more details to it.
That story is not unusual. It was just a witchcraft disaster in the family of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the consequences were not very big. From the queen and prince, to the princes and ministers, to ordinary people, hundreds of thousands of people were implicated.
After hearing this, Jin Lian's face turned pale with shock, and then she realized that she had almost caused a disaster. The disadvantage of this woman is that she is petty and brainless, but the advantage is that she is cowardly and has some evil intentions in her heart, so she tries her best to please Fang Jinzhi.
Fang Jinzhi's mind is a little better than Jin Lian's. She pays attention to who is kind to me and who is kind to me. Who is cruel to me, I am more cruel than her. She doesn't use any twists and turns. Seeing that Sister Jin Lian is so kind to me, she even In order to be moved, he reciprocated the love and was willing to share Lao Cao with her - but maybe it was from Fang Baihua's teachings. After all, the demon sect's witch cannot be judged by common sense.
In short, Pan Jinlian managed to get her wish fulfilled. She was a shallow person, and she would forget everything if she was given some sweetness. Instead, she thought in her heart: I want to harm this Fang Jinzhi, but she is so kind to me. It shows that she is a very good person. I It's a good idea to get close to her. So he became more and more friendly to Jin Zhi. As the saying goes: the friendship between villains is as sweet as honey. As time went by, Lao Cao felt that he was a bit redundant.
In the blink of an eye, September came, and war reports from Hebei kept coming: The Liao Kingdom had raised more than 200,000 troops, occupying half of Hebei. Now they were forced to attack Hejian Prefecture and Cangzhou City, day and night.
In Hejian Mansion, there were three heroes, Yuan Lang, the "Red Faced Tiger", Sun Li, the "Sick Yuchi", and Ma Lin, the "Iron Flute Immortal". They followed the "Old Flute" Wang Huan and the "Kaishan Tiger" to open two military envoys and lead the troops. Thirty to forty thousand stick to it.
In Cangzhou, four people, "Qin Xin Jian Dan" Xiao Jia Sui, "Iron Gan Dan" Zhu Jing, "Down Mountain Tiger" Teng Kan, and "Eating Elephant Tiger" Teng Xun, came to help, and Chai Jin, Mu Hong, Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong, Su Ding, Deng Fei, Ou Peng, Tang Long and other heroes led 10,000 troops to guard it.
In addition, Wu Song, under the guidance of Lao Cao, led his troops out of Gaotang Prefecture and wandered along the line from Hejian Prefecture to Cangzhou, thinking that he would be the follow-up. If anything was lost, he would kill to help.
Bianjing also got the news. Zhao Ji had originally imagined sending troops to recapture Yanyun, and the people were eating pots of rice to welcome the king's army. Unexpectedly, the Liao soldiers attacked first. In anger, he urged Tong Guan to send troops eight times a day.
Tong Guan originally wanted to wait for Zhongshi Dao to lead his troops to join together, but he was pushed to the point of being unable to do anything. He had to lead the victorious division that fought against Fangla and headed for the battlefield in Hebei.
At this time, the people from Liangshan had also rushed to Qingzhou, and they were all carefully selected elite soldiers. After an inspection, Lao Cao immediately took these 5,000 people and dozens of heroes and hurried to Dengzhou!
This is exactly what happened: Pan Fang and his two daughters had a good friendship, and Duan Hu and Sanniang were good at martial arts. A group of brave men from Liangshan want to follow Emperor Wu across the stormy waves.
