Chapter 194: Zhongmu Chen Palace
It is said that on the same day, Cao Cao escaped from the city, rode his horse and ran to Qian County, passing through Zhongmu County, Cao Cao was captured by the soldiers defending the city.
The soldier took Cao Cao to the county government and reported: "The county magistrate Cao Cao has been captured by us. ”
Zhongmu County's name is Chen Gong, the word Gongtai, and when he saw Cao Cao in the hall, he asked, "Are you Cao Cao?" ”
"Lord Prefectural, I am a passing merchant." Cao Cao replied.
"Humph! Don't talk nonsense! Chen Gong snorted coldly, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Cao Cao, you wouldn't have thought of it." When you were in Luoyang Taixue and sang poetry to a group of students, I sat below. Tomorrow, I will be escorted to Luoyang to receive the bounty. ”
It was night, in the study of Chen Palace, Cao Cao and Chen Gong sat opposite each other.
"Prime Minister Dong Cheng treats you well, why do you want to assassinate Prime Minister? Killing in a vain? Chen Gong asked.
"The ambition of the bird? A county magistrate understands the idea of a hero so well. Since you've been caught, what more do you say? Escort me to Luoyang to receive the reward! Cao Cao was not afraid.
"I didn't bother to ask more in the lobby just now, but now I want to hear about your ambitions." Chen Gongdao.
"The Cao family is deeply favored by the Han family, and now Dong Zhuo is poisoning the world, I don't serve the country, when will I stay?" Cao Cao said coldly.
"Gong Cao, please come here, I've been waiting for the Lord to know, and today I met it!" Chen Gong said while loosening Cao Cao's bonds.
"Hmmm! I have been eating Hanlu for generations, if I don't want to be loyal to the king and serve the country, then what is the difference between me and those beasts? Cao Cao said, "Before, I was committed to working under Dong Zhuo in order to find a good opportunity. The opportunity of this trip is a good opportunity, but the sky does not follow people's wishes, hey! ”
"Where do you want to go on this trip?" Chen Gong asked.
"I want to return to the township, issue an edict, and recruit the heroes of the world to gather to crusade against Dong Zhuo!" Cao Cao said sonorously.
"Righteousness is a righteous man!" Chen Gong got up and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "A certain Chen Gong, the word Gongtai, if the public does not give up, a certain is willing to worship the public as the master, abandon the official and flee with the public!" ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and fled with Chen Gong overnight.
The two of them traveled for three or four days, and arrived at the Chenggao realm, and it was getting late, Cao Cao pointed to the depths of the dense forest and said: "There is a person here, named Lu Bohao, who is my father's sworn brother!" We went to him for the night, and he was hospitable and would have entertained us. ”
"Good! So much better! Chen Gong nodded.
The two dismounted, entered the dense forest, came to Lu Zhuang, and saw Lu Boxuan.
"Virtuous nephew, I heard that the imperial court issued a document and was eager to arrest you and go to Luoyang, and even your father had already gone to Chenliu to avoid trouble, why is this?" Lu Bo was overjoyed to see Cao Cao and asked enthusiastically.
Cao Cao carefully informed Lu Boyu of what had happened before.
Lu Boyao was moved, and hurriedly bowed to Chen Gong twice: "If it weren't for you, my nephew would be in danger, and the two of you will live in the cold house today, and there is no good wine in the house, so I will go to fight you!" ”
After saying that, Lu Bohao hurriedly got up, got on the donkey and left the village.
"Mengde, your uncle, is hospitable!" Chen Gong praised.
"yes!" Cao Cao nodded.
"Hoho...... Rattling......! For a long time, the two did not see Lu Bohao go home, but heard the loud sound of sharpening knives.
"Lu Boyao is not my dealine, let's go and listen, if things change, let's run for our lives!" Cao Cao said in a low voice.
"So much the best!" Chen Gong nodded.
The two of them went out of the house and came to the source of the sound, only to hear one person in the house say, "Go and tie him up, I'll kill him first!" ”
The two were shocked, and after looking at each other, they nodded, drew their swords, and rushed into the room.
It wasn't until they saw a pig tied up that the two suddenly realized.
"Meng Deduoxin, we killed a good person by mistake!" Chen Gong's tone was a little remorseful.
"Hey, forget it, don't talk about it anymore, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly!" Cao Cao said.
"Hmm" Chen Gong nodded, and the two hurriedly got on their horses and prepared to leave, just in time for Lu Boyu to return from drinking.
"Where are you going?" Lu Boyu asked in surprise.
"Hey, the wanted person doesn't dare to stay for a long time!" Cao Cao replied.
"This, I ordered my subordinates to kill pigs and sheep, and I also brought the best wine, why don't you stay in the village for one night before leaving!" Lu Boyu persuaded.
"Still can't do it, it or go back to your hometown overnight!" Cao Cao shook his head and refused.
"Well, that's the case, the virtuous nephew goes all the way!" Lu Boyao was not reluctant, nodded, and rode a donkey to the village, "Huh! Cao Cao suddenly drew his sword, swung the sword, and hacked Lu Boyu to the ground.
"Mengde! You didn't know it just now, but now you know that he is a good person, why do you want to kill him? Chen Gong was shocked.
"We just killed Lu Bohao's family of eight, when he returns home, he will definitely report to the government, and I killed him to escape for my life!" Cao Cao explained, "I think it's better for him to die in a daze than to see him lose so many relatives when he comes home." ”
"Intentionally killing people knowing this, this is not righteousness!" Chen Gongdao.
"Humph! Rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me! Cao Cao snorted coldly, turned his horse's head, and continued on his way.
"Hey!" Chen Gong was silent, sighed, and followed.
That night, the two stayed at an inn.
"Hey!" After Cao Cao fell asleep, Chen Gong sighed secretly, "I also said that this person is a big husband, it turns out that he is just a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted man, if he stays today, there will be great trouble in the future!" After thinking about it, Chen Gong drew his sword and planned to go towards Cao Cao.
After thinking about it, Chen Gong thought again: I followed this person here for the sake of the country's righteousness, if I killed him at this moment, wouldn't I have also done something unjust? Why don't you just abandon him and let him live and die!
After thinking about it, Chen Gong withdrew his sword and left.
The next day, Cao Cao woke up and found that Chen Gong was nowhere to be found, and he was shocked into a cold sweat: This person abandoned me because I mistakenly killed someone I shouldn't have killed! No, this place is not suitable for long, I have to leave quickly!
So, Cao Cao rushed to Chenliu overnight, returned home, and told his father Cao Song that he knew what had happened in the past few days, and wanted to scatter his family wealth and recruit volunteers.
"I am afraid that the family wealth is too small, and it is not enough to make it happen! There is a filial piety here, named Wei Hong, this person is quite bold, righteous and squandering money, go to him today, he will definitely contribute to help! Cao Song shook his head and said.
"Good!" Cao Cao nodded, and the father and son found Wei Hong together and explained the importance of the situation. Sure enough, as Cao Song said, Wei Hong heard the beginning and the end, so he nodded and agreed to contribute.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and first sent the edict to various places, and then began to recruit volunteers. For a time, there were countless applicants! Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Three Kingdoms Hegemony World Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
