Chapter 417: Saying yes to drink together
"Really?" Dong Zhuo was still a little skeptical of Wang Yun's words, but still let go of Wang Yun's clothes, "It just so happened that Cao Cao wanted to stab me, and it happened that your seven-star treasure knife was lost, and it happened that he stole your seven-star treasure knife?
"Taiwei Mingjian!" Wang Yun saw that he couldn't, so he had to use Cao Cao in exchange for Dong Zhuo's trust, so he said earnestly, "Regardless of whether Wang Yun conspired with Cao for the time being, the top priority is to quickly go through the paperwork, draw shadows and graphics to arrest Cao Cao, Cao has no wife and is in Beijing, only living alone in an apartment, staying slowly, leaving the local border county, and then the whip will be beyond reach!"?
Dong Zhuo pondered Wang Yun's words for a while, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable; if Wang Yun was really a fellow party, didn't he finally implicate himself in this strategy? It can be seen that he is indeed confused, and he always tries to win over juniors like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to check and balance so many ministers, but he does not know that there may be many people among these ministers who are willing to be loyal to him! It is just that he is too jealous of them that he pushes them to his opposite, and in the end, he allows a villain like Cao Cao, who seems to be loyal, to succeed——?
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo apologized to Wang Yun and said: "It's me who is confused, what the prince said is very true, since this seven-star treasure knife is a family heirloom of the princess's servant, I can't take people's love, so I still give it back to the prince's servant!"
Lu Bu understood, and returned the seven-star treasure knife to Wang Yun: "Wang Taifu, there were many rudeness just now, please also invite Wang Taifu Haihan!" In fact, he didn't want to treat Wang Yun so roughly, after all, Diao Chan was Wang Yun's righteous daughter, he was still in Ding Yuan's forces at that time, and the encounter with Diao Chan had always made him forget, but later changes changed this qiē, even Diao Chan now doesn't know where to go, in fact, he regretted it when he said that the Seven Star Treasure Sword was Wang Yun's family heirloom, so he was very polite when he arrested Wang Yun, and at the same time he was hoping that Wang Yun would not be Cao Cao's accomplice.
Wang Yun waved his hand, how could he not know that Dong Zhuo loved to collect rare treasures, how could Dong Zhuo let go of such a rare treasure as the Seven Star Treasure Knife, so he immediately followed Dong Zhuo's words and said: "Since this treasure knife fell into the hands of the servant today, it means that it has a relationship with the servant, and it should be me who should not be loved! The servant has nothing else to tell the old man to retire first, and the chickens and dogs just now can make the old man's mansion a mess into a pot of porridge!"
"Hehehehe, go, I'll make up for any loss!" Dong Zhuo laughed like a ghost.
Of course, there are losses, and the biggest loss is that you can't get rid of you thief for the country! Wang Yun thought bitterly in his heart and left the Taiwei Mansion.
Dong Zhuo smiled, smiled, and slowly walked back to his room, the face on his face gradually becoming hideous.
"Another person who betrayed me, another person who wanted to kill me, another person who didn't know whether to live or die!" Dong Zhuo smashed the tea bowl on the table with a loud cry.
"Call Zhang Xiu to see me!"?
"What do you command?" Zhang Xiu came in and saw a mess, just now he also knew about Cao Cao's assassination, and knew that Dong Zhuo's mood must be very bad now, so he came in and didn't talk much.
Dong Zhuo held back the anger in his heart and asked, "Kill Cao Cao and bring his head to me!"
"No!" Zhang Xiu turned around to leave after agreeing, but Dong Zhuo stopped him.
"I know that you have always wanted to personally lead the troops to fight, and after the completion of this mission, you will be one of the seven lieutenant generals in my army! Originally, this position was given to Cao Cao, but he didn't want it, don't let me down!"?
"Please wait for the good news!" After speaking, Zhang Xiuyi jumped out of the Taiwei Mansion, up and down, and disappeared into the distance.
At this time, the guards at the door came over tremblingly, holding the matching sword that Cao Cao had untied when he came in, and said: "Lord, lord, lord, lord, this is Lord Cao, oh no, Cao thief's sword just now!"?
"Hmph!" Dong Zhuo took the sword, looked at the inscription on it, and suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, "Huangfu Yizhen, Huangfu Yizhen, could it be that when you gave Cao Cao this sword, it was even good today?
There are only four seal characters engraved on the sword: Heaven and Dragon Slayer!?
And at this moment on the Yin official road in Henan, Cao Cao, who was riding a black horse, was rushing to Qian County non-stop, in front of Zhongmu County in the east of Yin in Henan.
But now I have nothing again!?
It's like resigning from the government a few years ago and returning to my hometown, but I also left empty, lonely and lonely.
His body was already soaked with sweat, dried and sticked, and soaked again, enough to see the hardships of the days of running.
He could clearly feel the heartbeat that was still beating non-stop, it was the sudden aggravation of the heartbeat when Dong Zhuo was assassinated, and it had been shaking his entire body and soul, and he always felt that this body was dead, and Dong Zhuo saw through his intentions, and then was cut by thousands of knives and arrows and thrown into the oil pot to cook.
Am I scared??
I'm going to be scared too??
What am I afraid of??
No, no, no, this is not me, it's not me Cao Mengde, it's not the ambitious Cao Mengde who is not afraid of power, he shouldn't be so stupid, so cowardly, so unbearable, he shouldn't have escaped, Cao Mengde is dead, dead.?
So who are you thinking about now? Who is it?
"Stop, who's coming?" said the sergeant guarding the gate.
Cao Cao looked at them lightly: "I am a merchant, my surname is Huangfu, I want to pass the customs!"?
He really didn't dare to admit his name, not just to save his life, but he really felt that he was not worthy of the name Cao Cao, and he was not worthy of the extremely heavenly reputation of "the traitor of the troubled times, the capable minister of the world", and he was not even as good as Gao Yi, who was only eighteen years old.
Now, he's just a man who is afraid of death, and he doesn't have the face to see anyone again.?
The sergeant guarding the pass looked at Cao Cao with a haggard face in confusion and said, "Why do you look a little familiar!Wait, no!" As he spoke, he took out the wanted notice just posted by the imperial court, compared it with Cao Cao, and suddenly said in surprise: "This person is a wanted criminal! Arrest me, brothers, we are developed, the Taiwei has an order, the person who captures this person will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the marquis of ten thousand households will be sealed, he is the wanted criminal Cao Cao of the imperial court!"?
It wasn't until he was tied up with a rope and saw the county order that the confused Cao Cao came to his senses, and he struggled hard: "I'm not Cao Cao, I'm not Cao Cao, I'm a merchant, my surname is Huangfu!
"That's enough!" the county commander looked at the restless Cao Cao impatiently, and his words were cold, "When I was reporting on my work in Luoyang before, I recognized you as Cao Cao in the General's Mansion, how can I hide it!
Cao Cao was not angry: "There are so many people in the world who look similar, how can you, a faint official, prove that I am Cao Cao, but let the real Cao Cao get away with it!"?
The county magistrate was enraged: "This person is talking a lot, come on, plug his mouth, don't give him food, see if he still has the strength to speak!"?
Cao Cao struggled to shackle hard: "I'm just starving to death, and it's still this sentence, uh-woo-"?
In the prison, Cao Cao was pushed and shoved and thrown in, tied like a rice dumpling with ropes all over his body, fluttering around for a while, finally quieted down, curled up and thought gloomily: I have been a hero for more than 30 years, but now I have fallen into such a field!
Just thinking about it, a voice laughing rampantly sounded behind him: "Does Cao Mengde also have today?"?
Cao Cao stood up and looked at this guy at the door of the cell, his eyes full of self-pity.
Chen Gong ordered the jailer to open the cell door and asked sharply: "I heard that the prime minister treats you well, why did you bring trouble on yourself?"?
Cao Cao was wondering why Chen Gong would ask such a question, but suddenly saw Chen Gong show a silent gesture, and he understood Chen Gong's intentions, so he spit out the cloth ball in his mouth and replied coldly: "Since your county commander has taken me, I should go and ask for a reward." Why bother asking! Could it be that if I cry and beg for mercy now, you will let me go, and if you help the abuse, there will be no good results!"?
The jailer pouted and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Chen, what I said is not wrong, you just don't believe it!"?
Chen Gong smiled: "I heard that Cao Mengde has great ambitions, but I just want to meet him, but unfortunately I won't have this blessing tomorrow, so I have to wronged the brothers tonight, this is a little meaning, I invited the brothers to drink!"
The jailer weighed the string of copper coins, and immediately piled up a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, let's go down first!
"Who are you?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously, looking at the mysterious Chen Gong in front of him.
"It's not anyone, it just so happens that the county magistrate here is just a brother!" Chen Gong smiled and untied the rope on Cao Cao's body.
Cao Cao threw away the rope on his body and said with a cut sound: "It seems that you must have followed the public platform all the way, otherwise you can be so accurate, like a dog who knows where I am at any time!"?
"Ahem!" Chen Gong coughed heavily, really not daring to compliment Cao Cao's analogy, "Meng De still doesn't forget to joke at this time!"?
"Yes!" Cao Cao said dejectedly, "It seems that Cao Mengde only has the ability to laugh now!"?
"No," Chen Gong looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, "Why haven't you seen you for a few days, Meng De, you are like a different person?
"Does it take a long time to change a person?" Cao Cao laughed self-deprecatingly, "I have changed, I have died before, and the current Cao Mengde is the real Cao Mengde!"?
Chen Gong stood up abruptly to leave: "If this is the Cao Cao I know, I regret it, I wiped out those tails for you like a dog, and I sacrificed a lot of my people because of it, and I paid so many lives in exchange for a depressed Cao Mengde?"
"Wait!" Cao Cao called Chen Gong, "You were protecting me all the way?"
Chen Gong stood still: "God knows that you don't know what I know, you are right, Cao Mengde is dead, and the assassin is not a martyr!"
"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, "I understand, I understand!"
Chen Gong turned around and looked at Cao Cao curiously, thinking that Cao Cao had gone crazy, he forced himself to calm down and asked, "What are you laughing at? What do you understand?"
Cao Cao stopped laughing, and his eyes flashed a trace of fierceness: "I laughed at myself for being too stupid and stupid, I would learn from someone like Wu Fu to assassinate Dong Zhuo, the lessons of the past are still there, but I am still stupid enough to repeat the mistakes of the past, fortunately I didn't die, if I die, how can I be worthy of the Martyrs of the Ancestors, how can I be worthy of the high hopes of the Han family, and how can I be worthy of this ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth!" Today's detention in this small prison also made me understand that fortunately I didn't kill Dong Zhuo, if I killed him, who knows if there will be a Li Zhuo and Wang Zhuo who will continue to harm the world and eliminate evil, and his subordinates may be more hateful than Dong Zhuo himself?"
Chen Gong was shocked, and he supported Cao Cao is bow: "It turns out that Cao Cao is not dead, but has become stronger and has a more far-reaching vision." In vain, I still respected you as a god before, and finally let me myself vote in, but I didn't expect that in an instant, your thoughts will be more refined, so that I will always feel like a cloud of mud with you, Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, what kind of person are you?"
Cao Cao smiled and patted the soil on his body: "A person you can never see through, if I am so easy to be seen through, haven't I lived for more than thirty years in vain?"
Chen Gong nodded: "Then what are Meng De's plans in the future?"
Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the ground and wrote on the haystack with his hands: "I will return to my hometown, recruit soldiers and horses, erect the banner of rebellion, issue an edict, and let the Kwantung princes form an alliance to denounce Dong Zhuo, so that it is better than them fighting separately and then being defeated by Dong Zhuo!"
Chen Gong smiled and sighed: "The princes of the world would never have imagined that we would plan the world here, right? Cao Mengde, I didn't even see who you were before I got on your thief ship!"
Cao Cao also smiled and said: "I don't know if it's a thief ship, but I know very well that you are willing to go on it, and you can't blame others!"
Chen Gong looked at Cao Cao speechlessly and laughed.
Cao Cao also exhaled heavily, the boredom and unhappiness of the past few days have disappeared with this long sigh, he has experienced a rebirth, from now on, he will let go of his hands and feet to do a great cause, no one will stop him from moving forward, he firmly believes that no difficulty can knock him down now!
"Without further ado, let's leave overnight, I have an old mother and wife, all of whom are in Dongjun, from now on, my Chen Gong will be a pawn in front of and behind the saddle of Meng De!"
Cao Cao straightened his clothes and glanced out of the door: "What about the people outside? They are all your brother's people, I can't kill them!"
"Isn't this easy?" Chen Gong snorted coldly and pulled out the long sword on his body with a swish.
"Mr. Chen, a bold thief, dare to kidnap Mr. Chen!" The jailers watched in panic as Chen Gong was held hostage by Cao Cao with a sword and had no choice.
Cao Cao shouted angrily: "Bring my horse here, quickly, or I will kill you, Mr. Chen!"
The county magistrate who rushed to hear the news also panicked: "Let my brother go, I will promise you any conditions, don't be afraid of the public platform, my brother will send someone to rescue you!"
Chen Gong said unhurriedly: "Brother, don't promise him, he is a criminal in the imperial court, and if he is released, there will be endless troubles!"
The county magistrate shook his head: "Gongtai, I can't have children, you are the only promising male in the clan, how can you have a mistake? Cao Cao, I am willing to exchange hostages with my brother!"
Chen Gong was embarrassed, and he knew that he would use other strategies: "Brother, I won't miss anything, catch him quickly!"
"You give me honesty!" Cao Cao tightened Chen Gong's neck and shouted at the county order, "Don't go quickly!
The horse was quickly led, Cao Cao looked at the other party vigilantly, and quickly carried Chen Gong on the horse.
The county order sent Cao Cao out of the customs and shouted: "You have to talk about it, let my brother go!"
Cao Cao laughed on the horse: "I didn't say that I wouldn't let your brother go, but you have to ask him if he agrees to stay!"
The county commander looked at Chen Gong suspiciously: "Gongtai, what's going on?"
Chen Gong said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother, I deceived you, because I was worried just now that you wouldn't let Cao Cao go, he is a big hero, I will do a great career with him in the future, and I will visit the second elder more often when I have time!"
The county commander was stunned, but he was relieved: "I understand, you have been enthusiastic about accomplishing a lot of achievements since you were a child, but I am too afraid that you will be hurt and frustrated, now I understand, you have grown up, you have your own path to go, the road is your own choice, you will go step by step! Brother will always wish you!" As he spoke, he stopped the jailers with a gesture and let them let Cao Cao ride away.
Chen Gong couldn't help but reddened his eyes, he looked at his brother's increasingly blurred back in a daze, he knew that in fact, his brother didn't want him to see the reluctance of parting. Since he was a child, his brother has treated him very well, but because he is an adopted child and is congenitally infertile, he has no right to be the heir of the family, and his own unlearned and unruly * debauchery can always be understood and tolerated by his brother, so although he married, Chen Gong is still not at home, but has lived with his brother for many years, and he has been fighting crickets and throwing pots for fun.
But today is really going to leave the protection of his brother, yes, he is willing to take a road that belongs to him Chen Gong himself from now on, no matter how difficult this road is, no matter how difficult it is, he will insist on walking, since he has chosen, he has no regrets and will fight for it for life!
Cao Cao clamped the horse's belly under his crotch hard, and pulled the reins with his hand to joke Chen Gong: "Why, I was still comforting me just now, why am I sad by myself now?"
Chen Gong reluctantly pulled a smile: "You're right, the thief ship I stepped on on your Cao Mengde may be a road of no return, but there is no way, who let me do it voluntarily?"
"Don't be so sentimental, right?" Cao Cao turned around and looked at Chen Gong, who couldn't keep his spirits up, and said angrily, "Isn't it uncomfortable to go around the world with me?
