26. Cao Mengde offers a knife
Cao Cao failed to escape from Luoyang, so he pretended to take refuge with Dong Zhuo. Plans to wait for an opportunity to assassinate him. However, Lu Bu worships Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, and is often inseparable from Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao never finds a chance to make a move.
In this way, seeing Dong Zhuo staying in the palace at night, the concubines and palace maids in the harem couldn't escape his clutches if he took a fancy to him. Dong Zhuo was powerful in the palace, and the 200,000 Liangzhou iron horsemen under him were not idle, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen and others took turns to take their men and horses to rob everywhere every day, making the counties around Luoyang miserable.
Cao Cao saw the atrocities of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and was very angry, but now he is like a bird in a cage, unable to fly to the cage of Luoyang. However, Cao Cao did not give up, and after hard work, he finally contacted Situ Wang Yun, because he fell in love with Situ Wang Yun's family heirloom knife Seven Star Knife, and planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the name of offering the knife.
The Wang family is a famous family in Shanxi, and has held important official positions in the prefecture and county for generations, and has great influence and prestige in the local area. Wang Yun is talented, intelligent, and intelligent, and is deeply loved and appreciated by his seniors. Under their influence and influence, Wang Yun was extraordinarily energetic since he was a child, and he was determined to not only inherit and carry forward the traditions of his father's generation when he grew up, but also worry about the country and benefit the society of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to achieve this ambition and goal, Wang Yun always pays attention to the cultivation of his own quality. Although he was born into a wealthy family, he was not obsessed with luxurious life and comfortable enjoyment, but made full use of the privileged environment of his family to read poetry and books. When he was a teenager, Wang Yun had become a talented man who was full of wealth and wealth, and scholars from near and far were impressed by him. In addition to studying articles and reading classics, Wang Yun also insisted on practicing martial arts to strengthen his body. He admired the majesty and bearing of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and also admired their spirit of defending the country to the death. After less than a few years of earnest and unremitting martial arts training, Wang Yun became an all-rounder who was proficient in Wen Taowu and Wu Strategy.
Although Wang Yun was reluctant to Cao Cao's proposal, he still decided to contribute the Seven Star Treasure Sword. At noon on this day, Cao Cao took the treasure knife in his arms and approached the Taishi Mansion. Because Cao Cao was almost a frequent visitor to the Taishi Mansion, the subordinates did not dare to stop him.
Cao Cao saw that no one was stopping him, so he dared to go to the inner house. I didn't meet anyone along the way, so he came to Dong Zhuo's house, and looked inside to see Dong Zhuo taking a nap. "What a godsend!" Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw it, he took out the treasure knife from his arms, pinched his hands and feet, and walked into the house.
Seeing that he came to the edge of the couch, he rubbed the ground and pulled out the seven-star treasure knife from the sheath, and a cold light flashed when the treasure knife came out of the sheath. This cold light actually woke Dong Zhuo from his sleep, he turned over and suddenly found Cao Cao standing in front of the couch with a knife in his hand.
"Cao Mengde, what are you going to do!" Dong Zhuo sat up and shouted.
Cao Cao didn't expect things to change like this, and he was stunned for a moment. In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and he felt that the knife in his hand was so heavy that he couldn't swing it anymore. Cao Cao forced himself to calm down, he then fell to his knees on the ground, and then held the knife in both hands and said, "The minister found a treasure knife to present to the Taishi!" ”
"Oh! Hahaha! Take it for the Sprinkle family to take a good look at. Dong Zhuo laughed and took the Seven Star Treasure Sword from Cao Cao's hand. While watching, he said, "Hmm! Not bad! It's a treasure sword! Meng De, you have a heart, come and tell the Sprinkler what you want, and the Sprinkler family will reward you! ”
"This, I heard that there are countless BMW horses in the Taishi Mansion, I wonder if you can reward me with one?" Cao Cao pondered.
"What's so hard about that? You can pick up your own stables and choose one! Come, come, bring the scabbard to the Sprinkler family. Cao Cao hurriedly put the scabbard on and bowed out of the room, his back shirt soaking wet.
Exiting the house, Cao Cao didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly rushed to the stable. He didn't want to walk opposite Lu Bu, but Lu Bu just stopped him and said, "Where is Meng De?" ”
Cao Cao saw that it was Lu Bu who was drumming in his heart, but he pretended to be happy and said, "The prime minister just gave me a BMW, I'll go and choose it well!" ”
Lu Bu did not doubt him, and staggered to let Cao Cao pass. Cao Cao dared to be lazy, walked quickly to the stable, and casually led a horse out. He went outside, turned over his horse, and went out of the city.
At this time, Lu Bu came to the inner house to meet Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu and said happily: "Come on, I'll come and take a look!" Cao Mengde dedicated a treasure knife to his father. ”
As he spoke, he handed the treasure knife to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu pulled out the treasure knife and saw that it was really extraordinary. After closing the knife, he casually asked, "Father-in-law, I met with Cao Cao just now, and I saw him in a hurry, and now I think about it, I am afraid that he will be assassinated!" ”
"What my son said is that the Sprinkle family is also suspicious." Dong Zhuo smacked his lips and said. At this time, Li Ru came in from outside the door, Dong Zhuo hurriedly told him what had just happened, Li Ru patted his leg after listening and said: "Father-in-law, Cao Cao has no wife and is in Beijing, and he only lives alone in his apartment. Sending someone to summon him today, if he is undoubtedly coming, is to offer a sword; If you can't prevaricate, you will be assassinated, and you can be caught and asked. ”
"Just according to Wenyou's words." After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he sent someone to summon Cao Cao. The messenger went for a long time and reported back: "Cao Cao never returned to the apartment, and flew out of the east gate on horseback." When the doorman asked, he said, 'I have urgent business', and rode away. ”
After listening to this, Li Ru said: "If the thief escapes with a weak heart, he will undoubtedly be assassinated." ”
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "The Sprinkle family uses him so much, but he wants to harm me!" ”
Li Ru listened and said: "There must be a conspirator in this matter, and you will know it when you take Cao Cao." ”
Dong Zhuoshen thought so, so he ordered all over the paperwork, drew shadow graphics, and arrested Cao Cao: capture the donor, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households; The harborer is guilty of the same crime.
For a moment, Cao Cao became the target of pursuit, and large cities posted his portraits and notices. Cao Cao covered his face with a hat, saw a notice in the crowd, and did not dare to enter the city at the moment, so he had to take a detour from the mountains and go straight to Yanzhou.
Liu Bei's group was ready to go on the expedition at this time, because Han Fei had already received the news that Cao Cao had failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo. He knew that the next thing was Cao Cao's message, and then the princes of the Eighteenth Road would ask Dong Zhuo.
In the previous life, Liu Bei lived under the tent of Gongsun Zhan and suffered all the ridicule and white eyes. This time, with Han Fei's help, the three brothers of Liu Bei will surely shine. It is worth mentioning that Mi Jia Mizhu dedicated the three treasured BMW horses in his family to Liu Bei, and it happened that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were one horse. Coupled with the saddle, the combat power of the three of them instantly increased by three percent.
On the school field, Zhang Fei rode a BMW and brandished a snake spear and ran back and forth a few times, laughing and said: "In this world, except for the second brother, who dares to compete with someone!" ”
"Huh!" Han Fei responded to his shout. Guan Yu on the side frowned and said, "The military advisor thinks what the third brother said is inappropriate?" ”
"Not bad! As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and it's okay to talk to others this time, but there is one person you must pay great attention to! This person is Dong Zhuo's righteous son Lu Bu Lu Fengxian! He is the first person in the world, and he is not a general, even if you join forces with the three generals, you will only fight with him. Han Fei looked at Guan Yu and said solemnly.
"If that's the case, I'd better meet him for a while!" After hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes widened, and two fine lights shot out of his eyes.
