In the Taishi Mansion, the oppressive atmosphere was breathless, and seeing that the guards had not come back for a long time, Dong Zhuo's heart had almost determined Cao Cao's intentions, but he was still waiting, waiting for the exact news.

After a long time, the attendant sent came back, and what was the result, Dong Zhuo was like a wild wolf who chose people to devour, full of ferocity, and the attendant knelt on the ground and stammered: "Just now, Cao Cao left the mansion and did not return, but rode out of Luoyang on horseback." "Bastard, thief, I don't believe in him so much. How dare he. Dong Zhuo was furious, "Smash the porcelain you just got to pieces again, come on, go and arrest them back, I want him to be broken into pieces, Dong Zhuo looks a little hideous at the moment." "Wait, Fengxian, you go, you must capture this thief alive," Dong Zhuo suddenly said to Lu Bu for some reason. Lu Brown replied: "Yes, please rest assured, I will capture this thief alive," After speaking, Lu Bu turned around and left, but the Seven Star Treasure Knife was not given to Dong Zhuo, at this time, Dong Zhuo was given the murder weapon to assassinate him, this is not looking for death.

Dong Zhuo sat on the Taishi chair with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking. And Lu Bu left the Taishi Mansion on horseback, and asked the direction in which Cao Cao left, with the strength of his red rabbit horse, he could catch up with Cao Cao in almost half a day, but he didn't, Cao Cao must die, but not now, he is still useful.

On the second night, Lu Bu finally caught up with Cao Cao, but there was still one person by Cao Cao's side. Lu Bu stepped forward immediately and said, "Don't come here unharmed." This one is Chen Gongtai. Chen Gong was very strange that he knew himself, but he still hugged his fists and said: Meet the general. Cao Cao didn't say anything, and seemed to know that it was impossible for him to escape Lu Bu's pursuit, and just when the two were about to be killed, Lu Bu suddenly said: "You two can leave one, and the other stays, you can choose for yourself." "What" The two of them were shocked, "Feng Xianyou" Cao Cao said suspiciously, "You are loyal and righteous, and I am not ruthless, but I always have to make a difference, you can discuss it yourself." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned around and waited for them at the intersection. The two did not speak for a long time. After a long time, Cao Cao said: "Gongtai." He didn't say anything next. But Chen Gong didn't say anything and walked towards Lu Bu. Cao Cao opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. The horse turned and left.

When Chen Gong came to Lu Bu's side, he originally thought that he was going to tie himself up, but he didn't, but treated each other with good food and drink all the way. Lu Bu and others came to Zhongmu County and arrested all the original subordinates, at this time Chen Gong was anxious: "General, it is my own responsibility to let Cao Cao go, it has nothing to do with them, and please open the general's net, Chen Gong is here to thank you." Lu Bu didn't answer him, but asked thoughtlessly: "What do you think of Cao Cao?" Chen Gongdao was silent for a while and said, "This person is suspicious and kills. Treacherous. Lu Bu then asked, "What does the public think of me?" Chen Gong continued: "In the past, it was rumored that the general was capricious and valued profit over righteousness. Lu Bu turned his wine glass and said, "How about you and I make a deal," Chen Gong was even more puzzled: "I don't have anything to do, so what can I trade with the general." Lu Bu smiled evilly: "The public platform is very scheming, and there is a lack of sacrificial wine under my account, how about you do it." Lu Bu's meaning is obvious, this is exchanging his own life and the lives of that group of people for his loyalty. Chen Gong smiled bitterly, it seemed that he really had no choice, and more importantly, this person's intuition told him that under him, he could achieve his goal. Thinking of this, Chen Gong bent down and bowed: "Chen Gong greets the lord." ”

Lu Bu laughed, and hurriedly helped Chen Gong up: "I have to get the public platform like a fish in water, and today I order you to be a sacrificial wine, and when you first arrive in the army, you will be wronged first." Chen Gong didn't expect Lu Bu to be so important to him, but he didn't refuse: "Thank you, lord," and then Chen Gong continued: "Lord, the former official." Chen Gong looked a little embarrassed. And Lu Bu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already paid them a good settling-in allowance and let them leave." "The lord is wise," Chen Gong bowed.

"Lord, the last general has a negative entrustment, let Cao Cao run away" Lu Bu returned to Luoyang and first went to the Taishi Mansion to ask Dong Zhuo for his guilt. "What ran away, and why?" Dong Zhuo was a little depressed. Lu Bu continued: "The last general found out that Cao Cao was hiding in the house of a rich family, and sent people to surround the manor, and the manor actually resisted desperately, there were many traps, and the last general did not notice it for a while, delayed the hour, let Cao Cao run away from the secret passage, and asked the lord to surrender. Li Ru said at this time: "General Lu can prove it." "Yes," Lu Bu said in a deep voice. Someone came and brought it up, this is the guard of the rich family, and the rich family, after investigation, this is a friend of Cao Cao's father," Li Ru stepped forward to check it, and nodded at Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo then said: "Feng Xian has worked hard, I can't blame you for this matter, go back and have a good rest," "Thank you, lord," Lu Bu turned around and left.
