After a few days, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng returned from their travels and reported that the Jin army had plundered countless people in Wuzhou. Relying on the front and rear of the Great Wall, they built massive construction projects and built countless fortresses. They relied on each other and were majestic. Obviously, their plans were not small.
Zongze frowned after hearing this, found a map and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said in surprise: "Needless to say, the Jin people must have found a new road in the Yin Mountains. My virtuous grandson-in-law, can someone go visit Wanyan Xi?" Is there anything Yin Bu can do?"
Wu Song did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly sent people to visit and reported back: "There is only an empty stronghold left, and there is not a single soldier or horse in it."
Zongze smiled bitterly and said: "Then it becomes more and more conclusive. Hey, I didn't expect that you worked so hard to get this tiger's mouth, but now it is useless! I only hate that Golden Chief, what a good life he has..."
As he spoke, he shook his head several times, then suddenly turned to one side and fell straight to the ground.
Fortunately, Wu Song was by his side and hugged him in time. He saw the old man clenched his teeth, almost breathless, and his cheeks and forehead were burning. He was shocked and quickly called An Daoquan to come for help.
An Daoquan rushed over, checked his pulse, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "The old general is an old man. He was injured by an arrow and never nursed back to health. He defended Yunzhou and fought fiercely day and night. His body and bones have been greatly damaged. Now he is in a hurry. , old wounds and new diseases appear all at once, and the end is extremely dangerous..."
When Zong Yun'er heard this, she exclaimed and was about to collapse, but Wu Song quickly supported her.
An Daoquan was also startled, and quickly spoke faster: "Fortunately, An is here, so it's okay. Otherwise, if we delay it for a few more days, the oil will run out, and the medicine will be difficult to cure."
After saying that, he quickly prepared some medicine from the medicine bag, asked him to fry it, and then carried Zongze to the bed. He took out the golden needles, slowly revived him, and then gave him the boiled medicinal soup, which stabilized his condition.
Guan Sheng felt sad when he heard An Daoquan's words. He lowered his head and sighed: "It's all useless for us, so that the old general has to work hard at his age..."
Wu Song comforted him and said: "Brother Guan, the Golden Dog is so powerful that it will be difficult for anyone to do better than you, but don't worry."
He came to Zongze's couch again and saw that he was sane. He felt relieved. He walked to the couch and sat down. He pretended to be high-spirited and said with a smile: "Grandpa, why should you worry? Since my grandson-in-law can kill him, Since I have been able to capture his new intersection, if I am afraid that he will attack from the Great Wall, I will imitate that damn devil and change my ways. I will also build a fort to isolate the Great Wall and order the generals to guard it. I will lead my own army and go straight to Wuzhou to kill him."
Zongze was delighted when he saw Wu Song's magnanimity. He patted his arm and said with a smile, "He was a hero who fought against tigers in the past. Now he is a pillar of our country."
Wu Song took Zongze's hand and said with a smile: "Now that the boy has become a pillar, my grandfather can rest in peace and recuperate. Tomorrow I will lead the army to set off. Many wounded soldiers in the army will go to Yunzhou with my grandfather to recuperate."
After hearing this, Zongze shook his head, but before he could say anything, Zong Yuner came forward with tears in his eyes, took his other hand, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, your grandson-in-law is the pillar of the family and the country, why should grandpa feel uneasy?" ? Even if you are not at ease, you still have your granddaughter, a female general all over the world. How can Aguda beat that old thief as well as your grandson-in-law? Even if he can, how can his wife be better than your granddaughter? Grandpa just wants to take care of him. yes."
It stands to reason that Zong Yun'er is also a mother, but in Zong Ze's eyes, she is still the little girl who didn't like embroidery and preferred to learn martial arts.
For a moment, all the strong lines on his face turned into soft smile lines: "That's all, that's all, in that case, I will enjoy the blessings of you and your young couple and go back to Yunzhou to raise them..."
Until he told Lao Cao, the smile lines on the old man's face had not receded.
After hearing what he said in detail, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said: "The old general has such a wonderful granddaughter and grandson-in-law, so he can thank you and sit high until the younger generation returns after defeating the enemy."
When he said this, Zongze suppressed his smile and sighed: "Thank you for your kindness, I can't match it. I fought with the Jin people several times, and I realized that they are as good as wolves and tigers, and they are extremely good at fighting. These days, I often feel afraid. If you hadn't had a far-sighted vision and gathered these heroes early, once he destroyed Liao and went south, how could the Song Dynasty be in charge? I'm afraid that all the people in the world would be poisoned by him..."
However, Lao Cao did not brag about the situation. He shook his head and said: "Old General, you are too worried. Even if there is no Wu in the world, we have China's majestic rivers and mountains, and our Han family has hundreds of millions of sons. Is there no hero among them? There are people who are born according to destiny. , to turn the tide before it falls."
Zong Zeyi frowned: "You talk about it, but you are still putting gold on your face. Nowadays, among the heroes in the world, who else can be said to live by destiny and save the common people?"
Lao Cao laughed.
Then he shook his head and said: "Hey! I just sigh that these brothers Qin Ming, Xue Yong, Tao Zongwang, and Jiao Ting have been separated from each other since then. Qin Ming is brave and courageous, and he is the most staunch. Xue Yong and Tao Zongwang are also honest and loyal in everything. Be careful, they have been with me for many years, but they have never enjoyed any blessings, and instead sacrificed themselves first, how can it not make people sad?"
As he spoke, he thought of the brothers who had been killed in the seven states in front of the mountain, and couldn't help but shed a few heroic tears.
Zongze sighed and advised him: "Generals will inevitably die in battle, and our men will live up to their fate by wrapping their bodies in horse leather. In the days of peace, a temple will be built to worship the heroic spirits, so that they can enjoy incense for eternity, and their reputation will be marked on The history books are worthy of being a hero in this life."
Cao Cao nodded with tears in his eyes. Seeing that Zongze talked too much and was a little depressed, he left and went to visit Shi Bao.
Shi Bao received prompt treatment from An Daoquan and his life was fine. However, his throat wound was swollen and he was unable to speak. He just lay in bed in a daze.
Lao Cao pushed the door open and walked in. Shi Bao frowned and looked, his eyes suddenly brightened, he was busy gesticulating, and his expression was very excited.
Lao Cao quickly supported him: "Brother, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to write it down."
He asked people to get paper and pen. The wonderful thing was that Shi Bao knew how to write. He quickly wrote two lines of crooked handwriting: Brother, those eunuchs are so coquettish, I want a palace maid.
Lao Cao looked at Wan'er and called someone to ask, but after returning to Yunzhou, Xiao Sese heard that Lao Cao's general was injured, and immediately sent more than ten attentive eunuchs to take care of him in shifts day and night.
It's just that since the eunuch went there, he would have leakage of urine, and it would be easy for him to retain some irritation.
Lao Cao immediately ordered the eunuchs to be sent back to the palace. He sent a message to the palace, looking for the good-looking, attentive and kind-hearted palace maids, and selected twenty people to serve Shi Bao.
Not long after, the palace maid took her place, Shi Bao's eyes lingered, and his face beamed with joy. Only then did Lao Cao leave with peace of mind.
That night, Lao Cao stayed overnight in the palace. He was desolate after not seeing him for a long time. His gentle and lingering attitude naturally needless to say.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Lao Cao was full of energy and came out of the palace. Without further delay, he sent an order to the three armies and led a group of brothers to the Wuzhou battlefield.
At this time, 20 days had passed since Wu Song's attack on Hukou. The Jin soldiers relied on the Great Wall to build seven or eight castles and stationed more than 100,000 troops in them.
After Wu Song and Yunzhou's army joined forces, they supported 50,000 troops, but they did not dare to advance rashly. They only blocked the road and set up strongholds. The two sides fought several battles, each with casualties.
Cao Cao also had 50,000 troops under his command. When they arrived at Wuzhou, everyone in Wusong was overjoyed and came to welcome him with great joy.
As soon as he saw Cao Cao from a distance, Wu Song dismounted first, followed closely by Guan Sheng and others. They all prostrated themselves on the road. Wu Song's voice was like thunder, and he shouted: "General Wu Song, pay homage to the marshal!"
Behind him, Guan Sheng, Du Bo and others also shouted in unison: "The general will wait to see the marshal."
The sounds gathered like a torrent, rolling through the mountains, and faint echoes could be heard dozens of miles away.
Lao Cao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Wu Song to come.
Since his awakening, he has established a foothold in the world and achieved great success. Therefore, he has always been called elder brother and younger brother to everyone. Even though he has conquered half of the world, he has never changed his original intention.
Wu Yong, Li Zhu, etc. mentioned many times that although such a title was affectionate, it was reckless and would reduce the dignity. However, Lao Cao ignored it and only dismissed it with the words "we will talk about it later". Unexpectedly, today Wu Song Behead first and then report, leading everyone to change their names.
Before Cao Cao could speak, Wu Yong behind him suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and glanced at Chao Gai's face.
Chao Gai was thinking about how to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the meeting of the armies today. Suddenly he saw Wu Yong looking at him with deep eyes. He was stunned at first, and then he felt blessed in his heart. He clapped his hands with "Oh!", rolled his saddle and dismounted, and stood behind Lao Cao. Kneel down, cup your fists and sing loudly: "The last general Chao Gai! Meet the marshal!"
Fang Qifu, Lu Junyi and others were stunned for a moment, but subconsciously they dismounted and prostrated themselves. Dozens of people shouted in unison: "The general will pay homage to the marshal."
Cao Cao turned around, glanced at everyone, shook his head, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "That's all, military law is strict, so it's okay to call it this way, but you brothers, please remember that my brothers and I have known each other since we were young, and we treat each other with sincerity. , no matter you call me marshal or whatever, this friendship will never change."
He was not a mother-in-law, and he naturally felt the kindness of his own brothers. However, these words were also spoken with sincerity. Everyone felt their hearts burning when they heard this, and they shouted in unison: "Marshal Xie !Thank you brother!"
Cao Cao laughed, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get up!"
Then everyone got up and crowded together. Many good guys were good friends with each other, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Now they were so close to each other, so happy.
Chao Gai said repeatedly: "Where is the Huotou Army? Come to the camp quickly and arrange a banquet."
The army here has entered the camp and has not yet settled down. The soldiers are busy with their weapons and are busy with their work. Then they hear the loud sound of drums outside the camp. In a moment, a small school comes to report: "The golden soldiers are coming and counting." Qianqi was shouting insults outside the camp.”
Cao Cao suddenly stood up: "It must have been us who made too much noise just now. These guys want to give me a blow! Let's go out of the stronghold and meet him for a while."
Immediately ordered five thousand troops, opened the gate of the stronghold, and stood in formation with the stronghold on their backs. A group of brothers lined up with wild geese wings. Lao Cao, wearing a gold helmet and a sword, came to the front of the army in a grand manner.
Then he saw Wanyan Aguda standing proudly in golden armor in front of the Jinbing formation. When he saw Cao Cao coming out of the formation, his eyes were a little complicated, and he nodded and said: "It's you who are indeed here, the military envoy. It's been a long time since I last saw him."
Cao Cao smiled and said calmly: "After three days, you should look at each other with admiration. Now Wu is no longer an envoy, but the governor-general of the army sweeping the north."
Aguda shook his head: "Haha, I corresponded with the Emperor of Song Dynasty, but I didn't hear him say that you were granted this position."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Wu is a great man who leads all the heroes of the Han family and comes to compete with you in the Northern Kingdom. He is the one who inherits the common hope of the Han people in the world. This position of marshal is given by heaven and earth and is what the people want. Why use the title of Zhao family?" appoint."
After A Gu inquired about it, he burst into laughter: "After all, it turns out he is a rebel!"
Cao Cao pointed his horsewhip: "Your Wanyan family has been officials of the Liao Kingdom for generations. Your father and grandfather were all governors of the Liao Kingdom. Your family eats other people's bones and guards the north gate for them. However, once Deyi, he is also called a loner, he is a big rebel, how can he have the nerve to criticize Wu now?"
Aguda was furious, and his old eyes shot out a cold light like a vicious wolf: "Wuzhi! I should have killed you when we first met!"
Cao Cao smiled leisurely and said: "When Wu took the risk and traveled thousands of miles to see your daughter, she was determined that her fate was not with her! Otherwise, we would seize your daughter and your horse farm, why couldn't you kill me?"
As he finished speaking, Zhou Tong suddenly shouted: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is here with the commander to attack you today. My son-in-law is kind-hearted and can't bear to ruin the face of relatives. You might as well surrender early. I will plead for you and persuade the commander not to do it." How about killing you?"
Wanyan Aguda originally wanted to have a few words with Lao Cao, attacking the opponent's unjust reputation and unreasonable remarks in order to undermine the morale of his soldiers and generals. Unexpectedly, Lao Cao refused to give in and just repaid him. Zhou Tong also came to talk, and he couldn't help but He was furious and yelled: "How dare you insult me! Who went to take Zhou Nanman's head for me!"
With an order, Bohai's fierce general Da Bo came out with his horse, showing off his power and saying: "Zhou Tongnan barbarians, those with eggs will come forward and die."
Guan Sheng and others shouted in unison and pointed: "Marshal, this person is the enemy who harmed Qin Ming."
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this. Zhou Tong was about to go out. Hearing this, he hurriedly reined in the reins and laughed loudly and said: "If you don't kill the unknown general under Zhou's halberd, please don't interfere with my household affairs. If If we want to fight, let my father-in-law do it himself."
At this time, Wu Song shouted: "Gao Chong, my brother is here and wants to see what you are capable of!"
Lao Cao was surprised. He was originally thinking about who should be sent to fight. After all, the opponent must have extremely high martial arts skills after killing Qin Ming. So it would be most appropriate for only a few people such as Fang Qifu, Lu Junyi, and Wu Song to go out. Unexpectedly, Wu Song actually recommended him when he opened his mouth. other people.
He couldn't help but look and saw a young general running towards him, his face full of excitement: "Marshal, I am willing to fight that golden dog!"
When Lao Cao looked at him, he saw that he had a golden helmet and golden armor, and jade trees stood in the wind. He was very powerful. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart and said: "Are you a high favorite? I have heard about your good name for a long time from the old general of my clan. This golden He will be a good fighter, so if you want to go into battle, you must be more careful."
In fact, in his heart, he vaguely felt that Gao Chong was too young, but he always knew that his second brother did not lie, and since he recommended him, he could rely on him.
Gao Chong's fair complexion was already flushed, and he cupped his fists and said, "The final general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
He picked up the reins and galloped out: "That golden dog is the favorite of a certain family!"
This is exactly:
The two formations intersect, king against king, and now Wei Wu fights against the Golden Emperor. The two heroes have been masters for thousands of years, and the world is like a chess game with a fierce fighting spirit.
