With Lao Cao's permission, Zhu Tong nodded and agreed to Murong Bo's request to send his remains to the east of Longcheng and be buried in Longshan.

Speaking of this Longshan, its origin is actually not trivial——

The ancestor of the Murong family, the former Emperor Murong Hui of Yan, saw two black and white dragons circling and flying in this mountain. He thought it was auspicious, so he granted amnesty to the whole world and built the Longxiang Buddhist Temple on the mountain. It is so large that it is known as the first Buddhist temple outside the country.

Famous temples have their own eminent monks. Everyone knows that Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, and his reputation will last forever. In fact, two hundred years before him, there was a monk named Shi Tan Wujie in Longxiang Buddhist Temple who led 25 people to Tianzhu to seek the "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva". According to the Prophecy Sutra, Longshan incense flourished and became the ancestral home of Buddhism outside the Pass.

In the original time and space, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Hongli, a mad poet nicknamed "Little Iron Bull", visited here and wrote a poem "Passing Chaoyang County". The poem said: Chaoyang County, the capital of Xingzhong, three One tower is in ruins and the other two remain. The records of the Zhang family are still handed down in the scraps, and it is difficult to judge whether they will rise or fall over time.

There is a saying that the standard of this poem is probably not as good as that of Qingzhou Poetry Immortal.

But Hongli's poem has a special meaning: Ya changed the name of Dragon City to Chaoyang, and took the meaning of "Fengming Chaoyang", and changed the name of Longshan in the east of the city to Phoenix Mountain, so that when we talk about it, Even the people in Chaoyang didn't know what Longshan was, so they had to explain it-it was Phoenix Mountain.

Let’s not mention the gossip for now.

Speaking of Murong Bo alone, when he saw Zhu Tong solemnly agreeing, he was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, his eyes showed gratitude, his body trembled slightly, and he sighed: "That's it! I have never had any good intentions in treating others in my life. Unexpectedly, heaven and earth pity me. May I meet a gentleman before my death, but in such a situation, what can I say?"

He looked at Lao Cao again and his voice became sharp: "I, Murong Bo, have wanted to be strong all my life and compete with God for my fate. I only hate that God's will is unpredictable. Even if I want to defeat it, I can't win even half a life...'Wu Mengde', it's not you who defeats me, it's God's will." Yeah! How could I die at the hands of rats! Hahahaha——"

Amidst the long and desolate laughter, he slowly raised his palm, and suddenly hit his Baihui point with a heavy blow. Amidst the loud sound of bone cracking, blood oozed from his eyes, nostrils, and corners of his mouth. He rolled his eyes and that was it. No breath.

Qin Ming was shocked: "This old man is quite strong, and he actually beat himself to death."

Zhang Jue was suspicious, so he cautiously stepped forward, put his finger under his nose, and after concentrating for a while, he sighed: "He is indeed dead! Hey, this guy is quite happy."

Zhu Tong shook his head and said: "Actually, this person has extraordinary intelligence and superb martial arts. If it is not a delusion, how could he be like this?"

He wanted to step forward and collect his body for him.

Lao Cao suddenly said: "Brother, wait a minute."

Zhu Tong was stunned for a moment, then turned around, only to see Cao Cao's face uncertain, staring at Murong Bo's body without blinking. After a while, he said to Li Ying: "Brother, you might as well show off your knife-throwing skills."

Li Ying was startled and stayed for a moment before he understood what Lao Cao meant. He nodded, swung his hand and fired a flying knife, but in a flash of white light, the knife had already penetrated Murong Bo's thigh.

Zhu Tong frowned slightly, a little unhappy, and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said calmly: "A gentleman can be deceived. You treat him sincerely, but he still has deceitful intentions. Didn't you see that his expression changed just now? It was quite deliberate. Is it like an actor doing a show? Haha, I have seen many heroes in my life. No one is as full of emotions as him when it comes to defeat - Li Ying, there is no need to test, just fly a knife to the chest and you will know the clues."

Li Ying didn't hesitate, and threw the knife, piercing Murong Bo's heart.

Murong Bo remained motionless, letting the flying knife pierce his chest.

Li Ying was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I'm afraid I guessed wrong, but this guy is really dead."

Cao Cao didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled and said: "Brother, you are stunned! Look at the flying knife on his leg, and then look at his chest."

When everyone heard this, they looked around. After a closer look, Zhu Dian shouted angrily: "How dare this old thief bully me like this!"

What do you think? The knife on the leg penetrated the flesh for a foot, and the knife on the chest penetrated the flesh at most two inches. Most of the blade was outside the body. If it wasn't for the moment when it penetrated the flesh, it secretly clamped it with the muscles, why was there so much difference?

Zhu Tong was a careful person. After Cao Cao told him, he knew it at a glance. In a rage, he strode forward and stepped on the handle of the knife. Murong Bo suddenly raised his left hand and punched the sole of Zhu Tong's foot, causing him to stagger and fall back. He pulled out the flying knife from his chest. When he opened his eyes, he jumped up like a carp and looked at Cao Cao with hatred on his face: "Traitor! Evil!" Thief! If you weren't a treacherous person, how could you have seen my plan?"

Cao Cao chuckled: "Your acting skills are worse than those of the low-ranking bitches in the prostitute village. How can you deceive these gentlemen?"

Murong Bo was so angry that his eyebrows straightened up. He yelled, jumped up with all his strength, held a flying knife in his hand, and attacked Lao Cao.

Zhu Tong stepped in front of Cao Cao, wielding his sword wildly to block his attack. Qin Ming raised his stick and blocked his waist, causing Murong Bo to roll and fly out. After landing, he vomited blood.

It turned out that this old man was cunning and cunning. He slapped his skull with his right hand and used secret force to break his own metacarpal bones, making a cracking sound that deceived people's ears and eyes. Then he used the Turtle Breathing Kung Fu to hold his breath and pretended to die. Unexpectedly, Lao Cao found out and was stabbed twice in vain. .

As for the pounce just now, it had squeezed out the last bit of potential. Now that it hit the ground, it couldn't even move its little finger.

Li Ying hated him for being cunning, so he decisively flew out a knife and penetrated his forehead. Murong Bo raised his head and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

Cao Cao looked at it for a moment, then pointed and said, "That's right. Wait and see, how natural is this death?"

Zhu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This old thief is extremely cunning. If it weren't for my brother, we would have been hidden by him and would have been embarrassed."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Actually, if he just faked his death, I don't care. With his age and injuries, what can he do even if he survives for a few years? I'm just worried that you will send him to Longshan, but he will be killed by him on the way. This person will be dead. , I am so heartbroken that I have to guard against it.”

Zhu Tong was so moved that his eyes turned red. Thinking of his displeasure with Cao Cao just now, his heart felt like a knife stabbing him. He knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so virtuous, but I deserve to be so loved by my brother."

Cao Cao pulled him up and said, "Since you called me brother, why did you say these unintentional words?"

Qin Mingdao: "This old thief wants to play tricks on others before he dies. Why don't I smash him into a pulp and let him die without a whole body."

Lao Cao said with a smile: "He is missing his left foot, so he has no complete body. Well, the debt will be wiped out after death, and the torture of the body will only show that my brother is narrow-minded. What's more, Brother Zhu Dian promised him first. Although he is unkind, how can we not be the same?" Righteousness? Let's find a coffin to restrain him. There is no need for Zhu Tong to go there himself. Brother Zhang Juexian borrowed a few capable subordinates to transport this guy to Longshan and bury him indiscriminately. The rest of the Mingjiao followers also buried him. .”

After hearing this, everyone was convinced and shouted in unison: "Brother is so kind and righteous."

Zhang Juedang even selected a few useful generals and asked them to act according to Lao Cao's orders.

For several days afterwards, Lao Cao and others stayed at Luandao Valley, mobilized soldiers and horses from Yuguan, and transported all the gold and silver to Lulong County. They counted the quantities and found a total of more than 70,000 jins of gold and 180,000 jins of silver. . (Note 1)

However, before Lao Cao could figure out how to use this windfall, Ma Ling, the "Shen Juzi", stepped on the hot wheel and flew over: "Brother, something big has happened! The Emperor of Liao Kingdom opened the tiger's mouth to kill the tiger and let the gold man enter the country. The whole country surrenders!”

Even for a city like Lao Cao, when he heard this, he couldn't help but jump up in shock: "Is Emperor Tianzuo crazy?"

Ma Ling smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid I'm not crazy, I'm really desperate! After my brother came to Pingzhou, the two brothers Guan Sheng and Hua Rong sent troops overnight, and within two days, they broke through Guizhou and Ruzhou, and took advantage of the victory to advance. Destroy Wuzhou and Xinzhou again!"

Those from Wuzhou will be known as Zhangjiakou in later generations, and those in Xinzhou will be known as Zhuolu County in later generations.

Cao Cao wondered: "Most of our troops are new recruits, how can we fight so smoothly?"

Ma Lingdao: "I only found out recently that the Song army, with Zhongshi Dao as its commander, sent 150,000 troops out of Yanmen Pass, defeated Luo and Shuo prefectures, and then attacked Yingzhou. Brother, Yingzhou is only a hundred meters away from Datong, Xijing. Here, Emperor Tianzuo was panicked and mobilized all the soldiers and horses from several states in the east to fight with Mr. Laozhong."

Cao Cao sighed: "No wonder our army attacked smoothly, but they took advantage of Mr. Zhong!"

Ma Ling nodded repeatedly and said: "Our army will take four of the nine states behind the mountain, and the Song army will take only two. In the hands of the Liao Kingdom, only Yunzhou, Yingzhou, and Weizhou are left. Moreover, they are surrounded by enemies from both sides. Emperor Tianzuo is desperate. I don't know how to negotiate with the Jin people. On November 4th, the gold was officially dropped. The Jin Kingdom named him the King of Yunzhou, opened the Killing Tiger Pass, and let the Jin soldiers in. On November 7th, 70,000 Liao soldiers were sent in. The Song army was engaged in a decisive battle at the foot of Yingzhou City. Seeing that they were defeated, 20,000 gold soldiers suddenly rushed out from the flanks. Mr. Lao Zhong was defeated. We will find out the news and come to report to my brother immediately."

In the original time and space, it would have been four or five years later, when Emperor Tianzuo was forty-eight years old, he was captured by the Jin people and named the King of the Seaside. Now that Lao Cao has entered the country, the situation has changed drastically, and the fate of Emperor Tianzuo has also changed. From being captured to surrendering.

After hearing this, Cao Cao looked at everyone and saw that several of them had surprised faces. He adjusted his mood and forced out a smile and said: "I want to take the Liao territory, and sooner or later I will encounter the Jin soldiers. Now half of the Great Wall is in my hands." , Youji is as stable as Mount Tai, so I will hunt with him behind the mountain to observe its beauty."

When the generals saw that his pride remained intact, they felt at ease.

Cao Cao ordered: "Qin Ming and Huang Xin, lead the leopard cavalry and follow me back north. Zhang Shun will join Duan Sanniang and return to Li Jun's tent to obey orders. You must guard the Great Wall for me! As for Ping, Ying, Jing, and Luan four The prefecture, as well as the Great Wall within the territory, are all entrusted to brother Zhang Juexian to guard, and brother Li Ying to assist him."

Zhang Jue was shocked. He surrendered to Cao Cao. He thought that Cao Cao would transfer him to another place. Unexpectedly, he still appointed the local people and handed over Jing and Luan. His heart was agitated for a while. He stood up and said: "As long as I have three inches of energy left, I will not let you go." One golden soldier passed the test! Brother, I heard that most of our troops are newly recruited. If the golden soldiers arrive, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the heavy responsibility. I have 50,000 troops here, and I would like to give half of them to my brother."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, held Zhang Jue's hands and said: "Brothers work together as one, and their sharpness can cut through gold. Brothers should keep this friendship in their hearts."

The next day, Cao Cao led the Leopard Cavalry and 15,000 troops to leave first. The gold and silver obtained from Zushan left 100,000 gold and 200,000 silver for Zhang Jue to use as military supplies. The Pingying Army gathered with Duan Sanniang and escorted them to Daku in Jizhou.

On November 12, Lao Cao returned to Wusheng Pass after a long journey.

Sun An was overjoyed to see this and quickly reported that the newly acquired Wuzhou and Xinzhou had fallen. Now Guan Sheng led five thousand troops to defend Guizhou and was heavily surrounded by enemy troops. Sun An tried to rescue him several times, but was helpless. There are few soldiers under his command, and he is afraid that he will be defeated in a moment, but will be trapped in a pass. He never dares to make up his mind, and his mouth is full of anxiety.

Cao Cao consoled him: "Don't panic! I see that they are all traitors. Now that I'm back, I will have a plan to deal with them!"

There are different teachings: Emperor Tianzuo opened his mouth to kill the tiger, and the Jurchen soldiers moved towards Shanxi. Dadao Pass is successfully surrounded and Wu Mengde wants to meet his old friend!

More than 70,000 jins of gold, calculated as 16 taels, is more than one million taels, and 180,000 jins of silver is more than two million taels.

The design of this number is based on the assumption that it was left by the Sanyan royal family and was plundered by Murong Longcheng and his predecessors for generations. Whether it is reasonable can be referred to the treasury of the Song Dynasty——

After the Jin people broke into Bianjing, they "checked the treasures and found 54 million pieces of silk, 15 million pieces of Dacai jokes, 3 million gold ingots, and 8 million silver ingots."

The gold and silver ingots of the Song Dynasty were generally 10 taels to 20 taels. Based on the calculation of 10 taels per ingot, the Jin people looted 30 million taels of gold and 80 million taels of silver from the warehouses of the Song Dynasty - this was still guarded in Bianjing The remnant after years of huge expenditures.
