Chapter 130: Heroes in Troubled Times
Wang Can personally went to greet Cao Cao, and Guo Jia and Xun You couldn't sit still in the big tent, so they hurriedly got up, followed behind Wang Can, and went to greet Cao Cao together.
After Zhao Yun reported, he left the military tent and left.
A group of three people, Wang Can walked in the front and walked towards the gate of the camp.
Outside the camp, a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton robe, six feet tall, and slightly dark cheeks stood at the gate of the camp. However, the middle-aged man stood at the gate of the camp, motionless, his expression was not arrogant or impatient, and he had an extraordinary momentum emanating from the middle-aged man.
Wang Can and the three of them walked quickly, and after a while, they arrived at the gate of the camp.
Seeing that there was only one person at the gate of the camp, Wang Can was stunned, he didn't expect Cao Cao to come to visit alone, even Liu Bei brought Second Brother Guan and Third Brother Zhang as thugs, and Cao Cao came alone, which was really unexpected.
"But Cao Cao, Cao Mengde?"
Wang Can walked towards Cao Cao, and before he could get in front of Cao Cao, he asked out loud.
When the middle-aged man heard this, a hearty smile appeared on his slightly dark face, and he also took a step towards Wang Can, and said as he walked: "It's Cao Mengde, please forgive Wang Taishou for the trouble." β
The dragon walks and walks like the wind, which is really extraordinary.
Although Cao Cao is short and has an ordinary appearance, he has a military temperament, bold and atmospheric.
"Brother Meng De, please inside!" Wang Can greeted Cao Cao and walked to the camp. Along the way, Cao Cao and Wang Can did not speak, and went straight to Wang Can's Chinese army tent.
In the big tent, the guests and hosts are seated.
Cao Cao sat on the left side, and Xun You and Guo Jia sat on the right side.
As soon as Wang Can sat down, he immediately ordered: "Good wine and good food!" β
After a while, the soldiers came to the big tent with wine and food, and placed the wine and food on the table for Wang Can and the four of them to eat. Wang Can poured a full bottle of wine, picked up the wine bottle, and saluted Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, this cup is long, I respect you for daring to risk the world's condemnation and assassinate Dong Zhuo alone, his courage is admirable, please!" β
Wang Can picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank it all.
Regarding Cao Cao's assassination of Dong, Wang Can didn't know what the specific situation was.
However, Cao Cao dared to enter Dong Zhuo's mansion alone and assassinate Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a knife. This is no longer comparable to ordinary people. Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and after escaping from Luoyang, he wrote extensively and called on the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, which also made Wang Can admire.
Dare to be the first in the world, Cao Cao is the one who dares to be the first in the world.
Although Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo was a little reckless, it was undoubtedly the work of a heroic man.
Cao Cao heard Wang Can's compliments, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. Assassinated Dong failed and became a lost dog, how dare he speak up! He picked up the wine bottle, drank it all, and said, "Wang Taishou, how old is the idiot, call you a cousin, okay?" β
Wang Can smiled and said: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" β
No matter how black Li Zongwu is in his evaluation of Cao Cao, isn't this 'black' involuntarily?
Cao Cao poured another bottle of wine, drank it all, and sighed: "First, I failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but became a lost dog, what is there to admire, drink, drink......"
"Yes, drink, drink!"
Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia cheered and celebrated, this guy is a drunkard, he is simply a drunkard.
"Brother Mengde, please!"
Wang Can glared at Guo Jia, did not continue to talk about Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo, and instead asked: "Brother Meng De, I just arrived in the Allied Army, I don't know what happened when Meng De came to visit?" β
When Cao Cao saw Wang Can asking, he immediately said, "Cao hurriedly came to visit for the sake of the allies. β
"Oh, Meng De wants to be the leader of the princes? Therefore, he came to persuade Wang Can and wanted Wang Can to support Meng De. "Wang Can was aggressive and left no room for anything.
Cao Cao shook his head, but nodded again: "The first words are half right and half wrong." β
Wang Can looked surprised, didn't know why, and said, "I want to hear it in detail!" β
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Cao visit first, I am indeed here as a lobbyist, and at the same time, it is also for the position of the leader of the alliance." However, being a lobbyist is not to yourself, but for Yuan Benchu, Cao visit first, I want to ask for the first to support Yuan Benchu as the leader of the alliance, I don't know what the meaning of being the first is? β
There was no detour, and he said the purpose straight to the point.
Cao Cao's move can be called dignified and upright, without the slightest cover-up.
Wang Can was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be Yuan Shao's lobbyist, and after a moment of silence, Wang Can asked, "Meng De, could it be that Yuan Benchu asked you to come?" β
"Hahaha......"
Cao Cao laughed loudly, and only stopped for a long time, shook his head and said, "Why do you think so highly of Yuan Benchu?" Cao Cao is not talented, served as the captain of the north of Luoyang, served as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and his resume and official position are not lower than Yuan Benchu, although Yuan Benchu was born in the Yuan family and has an outstanding family background, but Yuan Benchu wants to order Cao Cao, but he still lacks a little heat. β
The tone, arrogant.
The expression is unruly.
Cao Cao's expression fell in the eyes of Xun You and Guo Jia, which also made the two of them look sideways, and they also raised a touch of admiration for Cao Cao. Such a short man, although his body is short and his face is slightly dark, his heart and magnanimity are not lost to anyone.
"Can is rude, Brother Meng De forgive me."
Wang Can can also afford to take it and put it down, misunderstood Cao Cao, and immediately apologized.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's normal to have this idea first." β
Wang Can looked puzzled and asked: "Brother Meng De, in terms of ability, prestige, and talent, you are not inferior to Yuan Benchu in the slightest, why don't you serve as the leader of the alliance yourself, but instead act as a lobbyist for Yuan Shao?" β
When Cao Cao heard this, his face showed a lonely look, and he said in a deep voice: "I have known each other since childhood, and we are friends. However, I am a friend and a competitor at the same time, and I am the caller of this alliance, but when I first participated, I definitely wanted to be the leader of the alliance of princes and beat me. β
"This is a private matter between me and Ben Chu, if it is sandwiched in the alliance of princes, it will make the alliance complicated, and it is likely that the alliance has not yet begun to choose the leader of the alliance, and it has already begun to fight."
"That's the first reason why I don't want to fight with the beginning."
"Second, although he was indecisive at the beginning, his ability, prestige, and background were quite outstanding, and he was qualified to serve as the leader of the princes' alliance."
"Third, the original Yuan family, the fourth generation of the old Yuan family, the third duke, the protΓ©gΓ©s and officials all over the world, this is a major advantage of the beginning, and the original appearance is dignified and majestic; On the other hand, Cao Cao's situation, after the eunuch, his appearance is ordinary. Compared with the two, the original is more suitable. β
The words came out of Cao Cao's mouth, although Cao Cao belittled himself, Wang Can did not feel that Cao Cao had inferiority.
Maybe after Cao Cao was a eunuch, he didn't look down on himself. How can a person who even looks down on himself achieve great things, and if he wants to make a difference, he must first see himself clearly.
After Wang Can listened, he sighed with emotion in his heart.
Cao Cao's house, compared with Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, is really very different.
Yuan Shao was born in a famous family, and there was a sense of arrogance in his words, even if Yuan Shao behaved like a pro-virtuous corporal, but the pride in his bones was difficult to eliminate, even if Yuan Shao was smiling, it was difficult for people to really get close to Yuan Shao.
Liu Bei is benevolent, but is it really benevolent? This is debatable.
Everyone who sets foot on the road of the emperor, which one is not covered with blood, with a lot of white bones under his feet.
However, Cao Cao, a true villain who said that he would rather bear the world than the world, is particularly cute, at least not offensive. Moreover, in the early stage of Cao Cao, he really wanted to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country and support the Han family. It's just that with the rise of power, the general trend of the world has changed, and it has to be changed.
In this era of great chaos, it is not only people who change their environment, but also the environment that forces people to change.
