Chen Gong stood beside Lu Bu and watched Cao Cao ride across the canal not far away, and then fade away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 1,000 light horsemen who followed Lu Bu this time were all descendants of the old camp in Bingzhou, and now only Lu Bu was the first to look forward, and he didn't recognize the orders of the captain Dong Zhuo at all. In their eyes, Lu Bu was the only lord they were willing to follow. Since Lu Bu wants to release Cao Cao, there is naturally a reason for Lu Bu, and as a subordinate, he only needs to do what he is ordered.

Lu Bu was not afraid that any of the thousands of people would tell Dong Zhuo afterwards, because it was very difficult for an ordinary soldier to see Dong Zhuo, especially if he came out of the Bingzhou camp. And even if he really had the opportunity to meet Dong Zhuo and tell the story, Dong Zhuo might not believe it. Further, even if Dong Zhuo believes it, Lu Bu has a rhetoric to deal with it, and Dong Zhuo will not completely change his attitude towards Lu Bu for the sake of a Cao Cao who has been let go.

Dong Zhuo sent Lu Bu to hunt down Cao Cao, the main reason was to vent his anger, before Cao Cao posed a huge threat to him, he actually didn't care too much about whether he really killed Cao Cao. This is somewhat similar to Dong Zhuo's reaction after Lu Zhi fled. It's a little annoyed, but after the incident passes, that's it. If you have to cut off your brains to vent your anger, there are nearly a million people in Luoyang City, and ten or eight are cut off every day, which is not much.

There was no imaginary volley of arrows, Lu Bu actually let Cao Cao go, and he also came with two fast horses with five days' worth of dry food and water tied to the horses.

Chen Gong asked Lu Bu: "Just now, you said so many anti-Dong words to Cao Mengde, aren't you afraid that he will blackmail you after he escapes?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Although this person is suspicious, he is also upright, I will let him go today, and he will not use this matter as a bargaining chip to blackmail me in the future." ”

"How many days does Feng Xian really want to stay here?"

"Why not? It's rare to leave the land of right and wrong in Luoyang, and it is also a great joy in life to be able to live here for a few days! ”

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and stopped talking.

Catch Cao Cao and let Cao Cao go, this is the plan that Lu Bu made when he left Luoyang. If you do a good deed, you have to have someone to promote it, right?

What Lu Bu said to himself in the tent was actually for Cao Cao. Later, he turned against Dong Zhuo, and fortunately, someone justified his behavior in Luoyang. Although Cao Cao's face is a little darker, he can be regarded as above board, and he will definitely not repay the account afterwards, and he will not admit that Lu Bu let him go.

Even if Cao Cao doesn't admit it at that time, isn't there still a Chen Palace!

Lu Bu would not be so dark as to kill Cao Cao as soon as he saw him, which was a cowardly act that had no confidence in himself. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but just because Cao Cao may become an opponent who dominates the world, Cao Cao will be killed, this kind of thing Lu Bu doesn't want to do. Lu Bu didn't believe it, with the experience and experience he had accumulated in his two lives, he couldn't compete with the heroes of the world for a righteous and bright future. The tragedy of being hanged by Cao Cao on the White Gate Tower, Lu Bu wants to see if it can happen in this life?!

Besides, killing Cao Cao in front of Chen Gong would not only ruin Lu Bu's reputation, but also completely lose Chen Gong. At this time, Chen Gong has not yet developed a disgust for Cao Cao, if Lu Bu kills Cao Cao, who represents the scholar doctor, as a martial artist, what will Chen Gong, who is also a scholar, think? Expect Chen Gong to bow down? Dream on! Is Chen Gong the kind of person who is afraid of death? If you want to subdue Chen Gong, the only way is to convince people with virtue!

In the end, Lu Bu did not kill Cao Cao, and there was a reason that could never be spoken.

Cao Cao was one of the greatest statesmen of the Three Kingdoms period. In the future, Lu Bu will also regard Cao Cao as a teacher and a mirror, learn from Cao Cao's political methods, and learn from Cao Cao's mistakes in political reform. Lu Bu's knowledge and ideas from later generations may not be suitable for taking root in this time and space, so there must be a frame of reference, and the territory under Cao Cao's rule is the best reference in the future.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong returned to the camp tent, and the guards brought dinner, and Lu Bu beckoned Chen Gong to eat together, without the slightest intention of treating Chen Gong as a prisoner. Chen Gong is also a frank person, since he made the decision to exchange himself for Cao Cao, he never thought of escaping. Lu Bu has to pay for it when he goes back, and he can't say it with empty hands.

After dinner, Lu Bu and Chen Gong chatted in the account. As a local petty official, Chen Gong is very familiar with the people's feelings and livelihood, and Lu Bu happened to lack this information, so the two started a topic around the harm caused to ordinary people after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Lü Bu said: "I think the reason for the rise of the displaced people is certainly related to the clever demagogic methods of Zhang Jiaozhi and his ilk, but the root cause is the increasingly aggravating problem of land annexation in various places, and the mediocrity and corruption of the central court collective is also an important factor." At first, the displaced people who rebelled were all people who had lost their land and had nothing to eat, and many of those who joined later were coerced in. If the imperial court and local officials had not exploited the people layer by layer, had not sold their officials and lords to lead to the corruption of officials, and tried their best to guide and treat the people in the year of famine, how could the Yellow Turban Rebellion have such a large scale? ”

After listening to Lu Bu's analysis of the Yellow Turban's rebellion, Chen Gong found that he could not refute it. A martial artist can understand the truth, he doesn't believe that those in the high temples can't see it. The Han Dynasty has come to this point, just like Lu Bu scolded, because everyone has become a rentier silverfish!

Because Lu Bu let Cao Cao go, coupled with Lu Bu's bold personality and extraordinary conversation, Chen Gong had a good impression of Lu Bu. He asked Lu Bu with some puzzlement: "With Fengxian's insight and skills, he can achieve great things sooner or later, why do you have to succumb to the Dong family and be scolded as a loyal dog?" ”

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said: "A manly man, who is willing to be driven? However, I am just a border martial artist, even if I have great ambitions in my heart, but I can't get the help of talented people, but I am often sneered at, in vain! ”

Chen Gong wanted to say to Lu Bu at this time, as long as you do it alone, I am willing to help you! However, this can't be said after all, this is the second time they meet, and it is taboo to talk about it in a shallow way.

That night, Lu Buliu Chen Palace rested in his tent. The long sword that Lu Bu carried with him was placed on the ground between the two of them, and the long halberd stood on the side of the tent, and if Chen Gong stretched out his hand, he would be able to hold it.

It didn't take long for Lu Bu's snoring to sound.

Chen Gong closed his eyes but couldn't sleep. Lu Bu's appreciation for him, as long as he is not blind, anyone can see it.

Just ask the heroes of the world, who dares to let the condemned death row prisoner sleep next to him? Moreover, this death row prisoner is still a county lieutenant who is in charge of the arrest of bandits and security in a county.

The only person who is so bright and frank in his heart is Lu Fengxian.
