Chapter 313: Offering the Sword

"Whoever accomplishes great things must not only have financial resources, military strength, and power, but also have a reputation that is enough for the people of the world not to forget. During this period, Yuan Benchu and Dong Zhuo turned against each other, and they have won the favor of many heroes in the world, and there is a faint trend of being the first in the world's righteousness. If I want to overshadow him in fame, I will inevitably do great things that will make the world's heroes even more amazing.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's notoriety has reached the extreme, and if one person can eradicate him at this time, he will definitely win the surrender of countless heroes.

I have been enduring under Dong Gou, and I have been waiting for this opportunity. Now is the time. Therefore, I have decided that tomorrow at noon, I will pretend to offer a knife, but it is actually a stabbing Dong. As soon as Dong Zhuo died, the soldiers under his command were leaderless, and there would inevitably be chaos. I have ordered Xun Yu to make all preparations in Chenliu, and lead troops to attack Luoyang at any time and clear the remnants of Dong Gou.

In this way, the name of my Cao Mengde will definitely be famous all over the world, and then my time... And it came. ”

Xia Houdun opened his mouth wide, his heart was beating wildly, and his blood was boiling unconsciously. However, he was soon taken aback again and hurriedly said.

"Aman, you are the one who leads us. When you can't risk yourself, this matter of offering a knife to stab Dong, let me let Xiahou Yuan do it! ”

Cao Cao shook his head gently with a calm smile on his face.

"No, Dong Zhuo's Mansion is not something that ordinary people can enter and exit at will. I have been selling Dong Dog for a long time, so that I can come and go freely in Dong Mansion without arousing suspicion. If you rush over, it will be bad. Moreover, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and it is I, Cao Mengde, who needs this reputation to achieve great things, so of course I have to pay the price.

Yuan Rang rest assured, I, Cao Mengde, will never stop here in this era. Tomorrow, although you will lead the troops to wait at the south gate, Wang Situ has made an appointment with me, and then he will come forward and order the south gate guard to replace you. At that time, as soon as I succeed in stabbing Dong, I will go straight to the south gate to join you and flee back to Chenliu to seek a great cause. ”

"Wang Situ? He also knows about it?! The stakes are high, can he be trusted? ”

"Credible. Today's assassination of Dong is presided over by him, Wang Situ has always been loyal to the Han family, upright and public, and died for the imperial court. I think he is the only one who dares to confront Dong Zhuo at the moment. This seven-star treasure knife is his family heirloom. ”

"So, I'm relieved. Also, just now, Yuan Rang said wildly, willing to be punished, please Aman to surrender! ”

After Xiahoudun put away the treasure knife, he suddenly bowed his head and knelt down towards Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew that Xiahoudun was straightforward and fast-talking by nature, not only did he not blame him, but he admired his straightforwardness, and he helped Xiahoudun to comfort him.

The next day, Cao Cao was thinking about what excuse to use to meet Dong Zhuo. At this time, with a team of guards, there was a tall and majestic Lu Bu beside him, and Dong Zhuo, who was dressed like a royal costume, suddenly shouted Cao Cao in front of the palace gate, and the urn made Cao Cao come to his Xiangguo Mansion at noon today, and there was something important to discuss.

Cao Cao was neither humble nor arrogant, and he saluted lightly as before, indicating that he understood. Dong Zhuo nodded, as if he glanced at Cao Cao with his eyes on the ground, and then left in a hurry.

And at noon, Cao Cao was ready, wearing a treasure knife, and rode a horse to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he came to the house, he saw the guard in front of the door and asked. "Cao was invited by Dong Xiangguo, I don't know where Dong Xiangguo is now?"

The guards in front of the gate recognized Cao Cao, and Cao Cao came and went in and out of Xiangguo's Mansion from time to time, so he replied politely.

"Lord Cao, Xiangguo is now resting in the small pavilion."

Cao Cao bowed his head slightly, stuffed a silver ingot into each of the guards in front of the door, and walked into the Xiangguo Mansion under the smiling gaze of everyone.

Cao Cao walked lightly in the corridor of Xiangguo's mansion, thinking that Dong Zhuo was afraid that others would harm him, so that Lu Bu would always be by his side, and if he wanted to assassinate Dong, he must move Lu Bu first. Cao Cao thought about it, and quickly made a plan in his heart, deliberately walked slowly, walked around the mansion a few times, and saw that it was almost time, before he walked into the attic where Dong Zhuo was.

After Cao Cao walked into the attic, he saw Dong Zhuo lying on the bed, while Lu Bu was standing on the side like a door god. Lu Bu squinted when he saw Cao Cao, because of Wen Han's relationship, he didn't have much of a good impression of Cao Cao. Moreover, for some reason, Lu Bu had a feeling that Cao Cao was a little more powerful than Zhi Wenhan.

Dong Zhuo saw that Cao Cao was away from the appointed time, and it was half a pillar of incense for half a pillar of time, his brows furrowed, and he shouted in a reproachful tone very unhappily.

"Why is it too late for Meng De to come? Could it be that you, like those pedantic ministers, have a great dissatisfaction with Xiangguo? ”

Cao Cao made a frightened expression and bowed his hand.

"Xiangguo is invited, of course I don't dare to hesitate, I have come an hour in advance, but Cao's mount is really old and weak, and it took a lot of time on the road."

Dong Zhuo smiled, as if he was very happy with Cao Cao's panic, and immediately turned his head to look at Lu Bu and commanded.

"Haha. I Xiliang lacks everything, but there is never a shortage of good horses, Feng Xianru is the most knowledgeable horse, it is better to choose a ride and give it to Mengde. When Meng De comes here in the future, he will not complain about the long distance and the weakness of the old horse. ”

"Yes, father-in-law!"

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, as if he was very unhappy to pick a horse for Cao Cao, passing by Cao Cao's side, he deliberately snorted coldly. And Cao Cao looked straight ahead, as if he hadn't heard.

After Lu Bu left, Cao Cao grabbed the handle of the seven-star treasure knife, and wanted to stab, but stepped out step by step, and his eyes unconsciously showed a fierce light.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo screamed, and the frightened Cao Cao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Haha. I'm just stretching my muscles, Meng De is so timid that he retreats in fright? ”

"The majesty of the Xiangguo is like the power of heaven, Meng De is a layman, of course there will be a vulgar appearance under the power of heaven."

It turned out that Dong Zhuo was just stretching his waist, Dong Zhuo heard that Cao Cao was selling him better again, and immediately laughed for a while, and then yawned a few times in a row, and suddenly felt a little sleepy.

"It's a cool day, and at noon it's easy for this man to fall asleep. Meng De rested here confidently for the time being. Xiangguo, I'll take a break for a while, and when Feng first comes back, I'll come back to discuss the matter later. ”

Dong Zhuo said that, he ignored Cao Cao's fat body and turned inward. After a while, a heavy snort sounded. Cao Cao behind him, his heart was beating as if he was about to rush out, and his eyes were constantly shining.

"Dong Gou, you dare to fall asleep in front of others, this is exactly what the heavens want to accept you!"

Cao Cao hurriedly grabbed the treasure knife in his hand, his steps were light and fast, he came to the back of Dong Fat's body, raised the treasure knife, and the seven-star treasure knife flashed a flash of light, which was reflected on Dong Zhuo's eyes in the clothes mirror on Dong Zhuo's back, Dong Zhuo felt the stinging pain in his eyes, so he opened his eyes, and just saw Cao Cao pulling out the knife behind his back in the clothes mirror,

Dong Zhuo was startled, turned around sharply and shouted.

"Cao Mengde! What do you want!! ”

If it's discovered, then don't do it! Cao Cao shouted in his heart and was about to cut Dong Zhuo's head, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the pavilion. Cao Cao's heart trembled, and he knew that it must have been Lu Bu who had led the horse to the outside of the pavilion.

Cao Cao's brain was turning, what he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo was fame and great achievements. And if you can't even save your life, then what's the big deal. Cao Cao quickly made a choice and hurriedly knelt down with a knife.

"Xiangguo. There is a treasure knife, sharpening iron like clay, and Cao thinks that only a character like Xiangguo is worthy of holding, and he hereby gives it away. ”

"Oh? Sharpen iron like clay? Is it really that powerful? ”

Dong Zhuo was born to love treasures, took Cao Cao's treasure knife, and saw that his knife was more than a foot long, and the seven treasures were inlaid with gems, all of which were intoxicating. Then he slashed at the handrail next to him with his knife, and sure enough, it was like cutting through dirt, and it was extremely sharp.

"Haha, it's really a treasure knife."

Dong Zhuo laughed, focusing almost all his attention on the treasure knife in his hand, and he didn't hesitate to play with it. At this time, Lu Bu walked into the pavilion and saw that Dong Zhuo had an extra treasure knife in his hand at some point, and he frowned unconsciously. Cao Cao was very nervous in his heart, but his face was calm, and he preached to Lu.

"General Lu, I wonder if Cao can try the BMW you personally selected for Cao?"

"Oh, good. Come out with me. ”

Cao Cao's shout unconsciously confused Lu Bu's thoughts, Lu Bu took Cao Cao out of the pavilion, Cao Cao quietly walked to the horse that Lu Bu selected for him, reached out and touched the horse's hair, and praised Lu Bu's unique vision while praising the horse god horse. No matter who you are, you love to be complimented. Especially for a person like Lu Bu, who has an extremely flamboyant personality, Cao Cao praised Lu Bu's heart, and Lu Bu unconsciously called for Cao Cao to get on the horse and try this horse.

Cao Cao waited for Lu Bu's words, turned over on his horse, and arched his hand towards Lu Bu.

"General Lu, this Prime Minister's Mansion is precious everywhere, Cao Mou doesn't dare to be presumptuous here, wait for Cao Mou to run a few laps out of the mansion, and then come back to thank General Lu."

Lu Bu did not doubt him, and said yes again and again, and even affectionately called his subordinates to send Cao Cao out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After Cao Cao left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he flicked his horsewhip and immediately galloped towards the south gate.

At the same time, Lu Bu walked into the attic and saw that Dong Zhuo was still playing with the seven-star treasure knife, and then saw that the scabbard was thrown on the ground, so he asked about the origin of the knife. Dong Zhuo reluctantly put the seven-star treasure knife to the side, and talked about Cao Cao's sacrifice of the knife just now.

Lu Bu groaned, picked up the scabbard on the ground, and said suspiciously to Dong Zhuo.

"Then Cao Mengde actually wanted to offer a knife, why did he pull out the treasure knife and throw the scabbard aside, it is really strange. I saw that this Cao Mengde seemed to have the intention of assassination, and he was drunk by his father-in-law just now, and he heard that I had just brought the horse back, so he pushed it as a sacrifice knife. ”

Dong Zhuo was reminded of Lu Bu's words, and recalled the scene just now, and suddenly had an evil look on his face.

"Okay! This Cao Mengde is so heavy on him, but he kills me! It's just a white-eyed wolf!! ”

At this time, Li Ru, who was reporting something, heard Dong Zhuo shouting angrily that someone wanted to kill him, and hurriedly walked in to inquire, Dong Zhuo told him about it, Li Ru squinted his eyes and said.

"I heard that a few days ago, Cao Cao brought many of his generals back to Chenliu, and only he and his brother Xiahoudun were left in Cao's mansion. Could it be that this person had premeditated to assassinate Xiang Guo? Xiangguo, you can immediately send someone to chase Cao Cao, if Cao Cao is willing to come, it is a knife, if Cao Cao refuses to order, it must be a thief, what he did just now must be to be unfavorable to Xiangguo! ”

Dong Zhuo listened, nodded in agreement, and immediately asked Cao Cao to summon him. After a while, the soldiers sent out came back to report that Cao Cao was nowhere to be seen in the entire Luoyang City.

"Presumably, this Cao Cao must have escaped from Luoyang! Xiangguo, Cao Cao is really going to be unfavorable to you today! ”

"Ahh Cao Mengderu deserves to die!! ”

Dong Zhuo was furious, shouted wow, and knocked the bronze next to him away! After the anger, he ordered Li Ru to send a document, draw a shadow and a picture, and arrest the thief Cao Cao. Those who capture the offering, reward a thousand gold, seal ten thousand households, and those who harbor are guilty of the same crime.

Overnight, the news of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong spread all over Silizhou County, and Cao Cao's name was very prosperous, and countless heroes and heroes did not applaud it, saying that Cao Cao was a hero of the world, and the momentum even surpassed that of Yuan Benchu, the Taishou of Hanoi.

After all, Yuan Benchu and Dong Zhuo turned their faces, but Cao Cao stabbed Dong alone regardless of his own safety. Cao Cao's original behavior of selling to Dong Zhuo was naturally regarded as enduring humiliation and waiting for the opportunity. Therefore, in terms of bravery, strategy, and righteousness, Cao Cao is of course better than Yuan Shao.

Of course, when it comes to Cao Cao, many people can't help but think of the former champion Wen. Although Wen Han's measures in Hedong made many wealthy scholars in the world angry. After all, these people are of noble birth and have innate advantages in many aspects, and the family will not hesitate to find a good teacher in order to cultivate them.

Therefore, even if Wen Han rebelled against Dong Zhuo earlier than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and Ding Yuan at the beginning, and repelled the 50,000 army of Zhang Ji, the general under Dong Zhuo, in Hedong, he still could not compare with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in terms of reputation.

It's like in the afterlife, an ordinary person doing something earth-shattering, at most, will only be passed on by word of mouth for a period of time. But if the heir of a certain big official and wealthy family does it, it will inevitably be publicized by all sides, and it may even be recorded in history. This is the origin, no matter what era it is, the power and trend are controlled by the wealthy families, and the people's eyes are always easy to be attracted by these people.

Of course, Wen Han's actions have also won the favor of many scholars from poor families, but the authority and remarks of these scholars from poor families are not taken seriously.

With the outbreak of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong, three days later, he was in the Taishou Mansion in Anyi, Hedong. It was the cold winter season, in the martial arts training ground of Taishou Mansion, although the weather was severe and the cold wind cut people's bones, but there was a ** upper body, and the sweat drops all over his body were like scars of different sizes like insects sliding down on his body. He was wielding a tiger-headed silver spear, constantly practicing the gun style in the center of the martial arts training ground.
