Chapter 55: Blocking the Opposite

Cao Cao is an extremely conceited person, and after listening to Chen Cheng's crooked poems, he didn't talk about Gelu first, but asked: "Who can compete with me Cao Mengde?" ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "It is an elder brother I met last year, surnamed Liu, named Bei, and known as Xuande." ”

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande," Cao Cao thought about it, but he didn't have this impression of people, so he simply didn't think about it, and asked: "Since it is a national surname, it has to be a non-Han family clan?" ”

"After he was King Jing of Zhongshan, he studied under Lu Zhimen."

"What deeds does Liu Xuande have that can be called a hero?"

Chen Cheng said: "Brother Xuande once recruited Xiang Yong to participate in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. ”

Cao Cao said disapprerovingly: "I also led troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves, although they are numerous, they are actually vulnerable. ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said: "After that, my brother followed Gongsun Bogui and fought fiercely with Zhang Ju's rebels in Shimen, and made a lot of military exploits, and was named the Plain Order. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "This is a bit like words, it is the duty of my generation to sweep away the remnants of thieves for the country." But if it's just that, it's not a hero. Where is Liu Xuande now? ”

Chen Cheng said again: "Because the superintendent asked for bribes, the elder brother was shy in his pocket, and he couldn't bear to exploit the people, so he tied up the superintendent and whipped it, and now he has abandoned the position of the county commander and returned to Gongsun Zhonglang's command." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said, "Okay, good, good Liu Xuande, good fight!" ”

After laughing for a while, he shook his head again and said smugly: "But after all, it's still not as good as my Cao Cao, if I change places with him, I will simply slaughter the superintendent, and first get out of the evil spirit in my chest!" ”

Chen Chengxin said: Can you be the same? You are Cao Song's son, and Liu Bei's family does not have such a hard backer.

Cao Cao asked: "Zhi Jinwu came to visit, could it be to see if I, Cao Mengde, am I a hero in the world?" These things are just incidental? ”

He patted the bamboo slips piled up on the desk in front of him and said, "But since it was given to me, then I won't return it." ”

Chen Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there are other meanings." ”

"Please."

"But these words can only come out of my mouth and into the ears of the king, and they are not enough for outsiders."

Cao Cao's complexion changed again, he glanced at Chen Cheng's burly physique, and said in his heart: Could it be that this person is here to take my life?

But this is very unreasonable, although Cao Cao is conceited, he does not think that he is now worthy of a Zhijin Wu to come and assassinate him personally. He quickly calculated in his heart, determined to take a risk, so he raised his head and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then please come in and talk about it in detail." ”

The two walked to the inner room and sat down, and Cao Cao said, "Now there are only two of us here, if there is anything to say directly." ”

Chen Cheng had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but at this time, he didn't know where to start, he pondered for a moment and said, "What does Meng De think today? ”

Cao Cao said without hesitation: "It's like a tired egg." ”

"Is there a way to save it?"

Cao Cao smiled: "Naturally, there is." ”

Chen Cheng asked, "What can be done to make the world settle down?" ”

Cao Cao looked at Chen Cheng playfully and said, "This kind of thing shouldn't be said by me, Cao Mengde, right?" If you want to ask, you should ask the general, ask Situ, and ask the captain. ”

"If Meng De is in charge, what should I do?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "If Jin Wu is in charge, what should I do?" ”

Chen Cheng frowned and said, "I asked first." ”

"Haha, then I'll talk about it first." Cao Cao said with a smile: "The world is declining, all because of eunuchs, relatives, and local tyrants and lawlessness, if you want to clean up the source, you need to restore the old Han system." ”

He asked rhetorically: "Does Zhi Jinwu think this answer is true?" ”

"Yes, eunuchs, relatives, and the power of the family are the origin of all disasters." Chen Cheng didn't point out the biggest key, and continued to ask: "But what does the old Han family system refer to?" ”

These days, he has seen very clearly, of course, there are big problems with the powerful family, but the emperor behind the eunuchs and relatives is the one who really needs to bear the greatest responsibility. Today, the Son still has the supreme right, as long as he speaks, everyone can only bow their heads and tie their necks.

"Zhi Jinwu asked too much," Cao Cao was reluctant to let Chen Cheng take the initiative all the time, and said, "I like the gifts I sent today, but I don't think it's inappropriate for Zhi Jinwu to talk about these now?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "It's me Meng Lang." ”

His expression gradually became serious, and he said: "The world is about to be in chaos, the country is about to fall apart, and the eunuch is dying if he dies, but why are the people innocent?" I just want to calm down the troubled times as soon as possible, so that there will be fewer deaths in the world. It is for this reason that I came to visit Mende. ”

Cao Cao was surprised: "Could it be that I think I'm the one who can set things right?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Haha," Cao Cao laughed and said, "I didn't expect Wen Zheng to know me so well!" ”

At this time, he didn't talk about Chen Cheng's official position, but called him "Wenzheng".

"Don't hide it from Meng De, I am an impulsive and irritable person, and I do things recklessly after I get on top, I can only pick up and fill in the gaps, but I can't take on the big responsibility alone. In today's world, there are many heroes and heroes, but in terms of vision, ability, and bearing, I think no one can be above Mengde. If Meng De is interested, I am willing to be the forerunner of the public. ”

Cao Cao: ".........."

You said I was just reading a book at home, why did someone suddenly come to the door and say they wanted to take refuge? Do I believe or do I not believe?

He stared at Chen Cheng for a while, and suddenly said, "Now the eunuchs and generals are in a state of fire and water, and they are fighting with each other. If the two sides fight, they will inevitably be stained. For the sake of the world and the people, it is better to kill Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong first, once these two people go, it will be difficult for others to compete with the general, maybe they will be able to eliminate a disaster! I have a treasure knife in my home, the name is: Seven stars, extremely sharp, willing to give it to the foot! ”

"Meng De means that I should assassinate those two?"

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "Is it okay to kill Zhang and Zhao Zhong?" ”

Cao Cao Zhengse said: "These two people are the leaders of the eunuchs, and they are the most trusted by the Son of Heaven, as long as these two people die, the rest of the things can be handled by me!" ”

Chen Cheng stared at Cao Cao for a long time, and the latter stared at him calmly.

"Where's the knife?"

Cao Cao got up and said, "Please come with me." ”

He went out of the inner room, summoned his servants, and took the "Seven Stars" sword. After the servant pushed it down, Cao Cao pulled out the treasure knife and handed it to Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng took it, his hand sank, but it was a straight-edged knife more than one meter long, similar in shape to the ring-headed knife, but it was longer and heavier.

Reach out and gently stroke the blade, the knife is a good knife, but what .........

He hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said, "Thank you Cao Gong for your kindness." ”

After leading the horse out, Chen Cheng said in his heart: I would have set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon is shining on the ditch!

He talked to Cao Cao about major events in the world, but he asked himself to be an assassin, where is such a reason? He was slightly angry in his heart, but his face remained silent, and he threw a bag of coins to the two soldiers behind him, and said, "I'll go to the streets, you can do your own thing, remember to go back before dark." ”

The two soldiers said happily: "Thank you, General, for the reward!" ”

Luoyang is named because it is located in the north of Luoshui, and the south of the mountain and the north of the water are called Yang. Luoyang is located in the center of the world, where the elite of the empire is located, with a permanent population of nearly one million. Inside and outside the city, the palaces, pavilions, water pavilions and other buildings built are magnificent, the best in the world. Chen Cheng got off the horse and walked on the street, and when he saw the endless stream of pedestrians, the irritability in his heart calmed down a little.

On the street, there were many ladies in gorgeous clothes, and after seeing Chen Cheng, many people frequently looked at him. If it was a normal time, he would have to ......... Well, even when he's in a good mood, he won't tease a little girl casually. He casually walked into a restaurant, put Gollum behind the stable, and let the shop serve some food.

In the cubicle on the second floor, he knelt on the ground, and his mood gradually calmed down. He is not stupid, although Cao Cao's attitude towards him has changed several times, the coldness in his bones has always been the same. It's no wonder, even if it's not Cao Cao, it's the same if someone else is changed. For a person like him who was sent to the door and couldn't get along with the eunuchs, everyone had to be careful.

He picked up his glass, looked at the cloudy drink, and put it down again. There was a sudden sound of breaking the air behind him, and one person kicked down the screen, raised his sword and slashed at Chen Cheng's back. The assassination came suddenly and quickly, but Chen Cheng already knew it. With such a striking red dot, it's hard not to pay attention.

The moment he put down the glass, he grabbed the sword on the ground and parried backwards with the scabbard.

"Dang!"

The Han sword slashed at the scabbard, sputtering out sparks. Chen Cheng's hand was shocked, obviously the other party's strength was amazing, but his strength would only be greater. He lifted a kick and overturned the table, and the dishes were all hit at the other party. The Assassin raised his knife and slashed, splitting the table in half. But the soup and water in those dishes splashed out and drenched him.

Chen Cheng calmly pulled out the "Seven Stars" treasure knife. Holding a knife in both hands across his chest, he asked, "We seem to have met?" ”

Wang Yue's wrists were numb, his body was covered with stains, and he looked a little embarrassed. He kicked away the debris under his feet and sneered: "Last time, it was Jian Shuo who saved your life, this time to see who can save you!" ”

He said cruel words, but his actions were very cautious. The sword just now was planned by him for a long time, but it was in vain. The opponent blocked casually, almost shocking the blade in his hand, so that he had to deal with it carefully.

"It turned out to be you," Chen Cheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "I just feel unhappy, so I'll use you to open the knife!" ”

With that, he raised his sword and slashed it off on the spot.

At this time, Chen Cheng slashed at the knife, Wang Yue gritted his teeth and swung his sword to fight. Upstairs there was a sharp sound of footsteps, and the sound of "clanging" metal clashing became one,

The more Wang fought, the more frightened he became, he knew just now that Chen Cheng's strength was unusually great, but he thought that his own swordsmanship was excellent and he could still win the opponent, but when he really fought, he found that Chen Cheng's sword speed was even faster than ordinary. After slashing the world rounds, his back was completely wet with sweat.

"Damn, how can it be so strong?"

Wang Yue turned sideways to avoid the opponent's spur, and swung his sword upwards with his backhand, but sure enough, he was blocked by the first to come. Chen Cheng successfully blocked with a knife, and then used the magic skill of "blocking and reversing", and the long knife slashed out quickly, as if he didn't need to return his breath.

"Dang!"

Wang Yue withdrew his sword in time and crossed in front of him, and his heart was already extremely shocked. Can it be faster?

"Blocking" is a magic skill in "riding and slashing", which is simple to say, but it is very simple, that is, after blocking an attack from the opponent, immediately launch a counterattack, because of the judgment, you don't need to swing forward to make a move, so it is extremely fast. However, it is difficult to say that it is difficult to say, and it is necessary to have an absolute grasp of the speed of the enemy and oneself in order to be able to use it successfully.

However, even if it is used, it may not be able to kill the enemy in one blow.
