In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Chen Gong was the first strategist to follow Cao Cao, and saved Cao Cao on the way to Cao Cao's escape and was impressed by him, but later abandoned Cao Cao because of Lu Bo's extravagance, so now many people think that Chen Gong has a great influence on Cao Cao because of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

And there is indeed information in history that confirms that Cao Cao fled east and was arrested and Lu Boluxe, but in fact, these two events have nothing to do with Chen Gong. But this does not mean that Chen Gong is not important to Cao Cao, in fact, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, I personally think that Chen Gong's influence on Cao Cao is much greater than in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" actually weakened Chen Gong's influence on Cao Cao.

In the era of the Three Kingdoms, if you want a few generals to follow you, then you only need to have led troops to fight, but if you want to have a few strategists under your command, then you need to be at least one lord (with territory, with troops) to have this qualification, the lowest level is generally the Taishou of a county, and it is best to be the assassin of a state, the state pastor or even above.

Generally speaking, people who can be called strategists are the best among scholars, and if they want them to take a fancy to you, status is indispensable, and at least you must have a certain degree of status. And if you are just a simple general, then you will only have generals under your command at most, and strategists and other things generally don't think about it.

Therefore, after Cao Cao was elected by Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Dongjun, Chen Gong and Xun Yu would come to Cao Cao, and before Cao Cao only had some relatives and generals, Chen Gong and Xun Yu were also the first batch of strategists who took refuge in Cao Cao in history, and they were a very important group of strategists for Cao Cao.

So who was the first to defect to Cao Cao, Chen Gong or Xun Yu? Personally, I prefer Chen Gong, the reason is two words - distance.

On the map, Dongjun is very close to Jizhou, so Xun Yu can quickly go to Cao Cao's side after deciding to leave Yuan Shao, and where is Chen Gong at that time, Chen Gong is from Wuyang, and Wuyang is a county under Dongjun.

Historically, after Cao Cao became the Taishou of Dongjun, Chen Gong decided to assist Cao Cao, and Xun Yu only knew that he abandoned Yuan and joined Cao Cao in the second year of Chuping (191), so in comparison, Chen Gong was more likely to join Cao Cao earlier than Xun Yu.

The early time alone doesn't mean anything, but Chen Gongtai is not just an early time to join Cao Cao. In history, it was not for nothing that Cao Cao would treat Chen Gong's old mother and children well.

Because the Chen Palace was very important to Cao Cao in the early days, it was the Chen Palace that pushed Cao Cao to the position of Yanzhou Mu in history.

After the death of Liu Dai, the Yanzhou Assassin History, the Yanzhou Dragons had no leader, under normal circumstances, it should be sent by the imperial court to send another one over (in fact, it did send Jin Shang), after the death of Wang Rui, the former Jingzhou Assassin Wang Rui, it was Dong Zhuo's court that sent Liu Biao to be, and later Yangzhou Assassin Chen Wen died, and Li Guo's court also sent Liu Xuan, when the world was just in turmoil, the majesty of the imperial court still existed. Of course, there are other circumstances, such as Tao Qian ordered Liu Bei to inherit before his death, and Liu Yan was also inherited by his son Liu Zhang after his death.

But there is one person who doesn't think so, and that person is Chen Gong. Although Liu Dai did not entrust Yanzhou to Cao Cao, Cao Cao and Liu Dai were not related, and the imperial court did not order Cao Cao to be the pastor of Yanzhou, Chen Gong just thought that this was an opportunity for Cao Cao that could not be missed.

So Chen Gong ran to see Cao Cao and said to him: "Yanzhou has no master now, and it has cut off communication with the imperial court, please let my Chen Gong go to Yanzhou where to negotiate, let Cao Gong you be the pastor of Yanzhou, you can use Yanzhou as the basis for you to seize the world, and here will be your overlord business." Cao Cao was very happy after hearing this, so he handed over the matter to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong also lived up to Cao Cao's expectations, and after coming to Yanzhou, he said to Yanzhou and Zhizhong: "Now the world is in chaos and divided in all directions, and Yanzhou has no owner; And Cao Dongjun is the genius of the destiny of this era, if he is the pastor of Yanzhou, he will definitely be able to calm the people. At that time, Bao Xin and others themselves had a good impression of Cao Cao, so everyone had no objections.

In this way, Cao Cao was elected by everyone to become the pastor of Yanzhou.

The status of Yanzhou Mu is very important to Cao Cao, and Dongjun Taishou is just a starting point, but Yanzhou Mu has already marked that Cao Cao has officially had the foundation to compete for world domination, otherwise there is not much difference between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's affiliation.

After this, the relationship between Chen Gong and Cao Cao can be said to have warmed up again, and at that time, whether it was Cao Cao or Chen Gong, they did not expect the ending of the two of them at all.

Chen Gong eventually turned his back on Cao Cao, but when did that begin?

It was the moment when Cao Cao's purge of the Yanzhou scholars killed Bian Rang, or the moment when Cao Cao washed Xuzhou in blood, or both.

In the Three Kingdoms era, it was very taboo to purge the scholars and slaughter the innocents, why Dong Zhuo couldn't get the allegiance of the scholars, one of the very important reasons was that there were too many killings, Dong Zhuo killed the scholars and killed the innocents, and now Cao Cao also killed the scholars and killed the innocents, what is the difference between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo in the eyes of Chen Gong?

Chen Gong may be regretting that he elected Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, so he killed his friend Bian Rang, so he was ready to correct his mistakes, so he chose to kill the great hero Lu Bu of the demon king Dong Zhuo, hoping that Lu Bu would kill the "demon" Cao Cao again.

It's a pity that Chen Gong chose the wrong person again.

When he chose Lu Bu, he was already doomed.

It is recorded in the "Heroes" that Chen Gong once secretly conspired with Hao Meng to obtain Lu Bu and take refuge in Yuan Shu, and finally Hao Meng was killed by Gao Shun.

This is completely possible in history, Chen Gong can't even get along with people like Cao Cao, how can he look at Lu Bu? He just didn't understand Lu Bu at first, just like Chen Gong began to take refuge in Cao Cao. But compared with Xun Yu, Chen Gong's gaze at the boss is much worse, first he chose a Cao Cao who couldn't get along with him, and then a nominal hero Lu Bu, and finally hooked up with Yuan Shu, who only had a false name, and among so many strategists in the history of the Three Kingdoms, no one could be worse than Chen Gongtai.

In the end, Chen Gong would rather die than eat the grass, and Cao Cao killed him in tears.
