The cold night is forested, and the moonlight is like water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe moonlight shines through the railing of the prison vents, leaving a cool one.

In the Zhongmu County Government, the patrolling soldiers walked back and forth in an orderly manner, and the guard was very tight.

"Are you two used to living here?" Chen Gong sat in the prison cell, looked at Lu Yi and the two who were tied into zongzi, and said with a smile: "Cao Mengde, I heard that Dong Xiangguo is not thin on you, and he promoted you to the rank of captain of the Xiaoqi Cadet in ten months, why do you want to repay yourself and bring disaster upon yourself?" ”

"The finch knows the ambition of the bird. If you want to kill or chop, listen to and obey. I, Cao Cao, will never say a word. Cao Cao said angrily when he heard this: "Dong Zhuo is cruel and bad, he killed the young emperor and bullied the minister, my ancestor is the Xiangguo Cao Shengong, the founder of the Han Dynasty." If I don't think about serving the country, what is the difference between me and animals. As a minister of the Son of Heaven, do you also want to help the abuse? ”

Chen Gong groaned slightly: "Dong Xiangguo is in charge of the center, and he is ordered by the Son of Heaven to be obedient. In fact, it controls the vast land of the four prefectures of And, Liang, Yong, and Si, and Lu Bu and Li Ru are invincible in the world, and the Western Liang soldiers will be brave and good at fighting. With the strength of your mere one, how can you resist Dong Xiang Tianwei. ”

"Dong Zhuo seems to be powerful, but he is not." Cao Cao replied without hesitation: "This person entered Luoyang in a short period of time, and he belongs to swallowing an elephant with a snake. However, its foundation was not stable, although it took the opportunity to annex the central army of the general He Jin brothers, as well as the merger of the state army of the history of the state assassin and the original Jin Wu Dingyuan, but it did not have time to digest it. In the final analysis, its foundation is still the old department of Liangzhou, so it seems to be powerful, but in fact it is not impossible to resist. ”

"So, you already have a way to fight Dong Zhuo?" Chen Gong asked with squinted eyes.

Cao Cao saw that his title changed from Dong Xiangguo to Dong Zhuo, he was stunned at first, and then nodded and said, "Not bad." Dong Zhuo stole the center, and he had to use the joint efforts of the princes of the Son of Heaven to contend with it. I want to return to my hometown, and I will summon the princes of the world and raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo. ”

Lu Yi pouted beside him, and said in his heart: "This Cao Cao is really a wonderful person, he threw all his plans to others, and now the other party can even save the link of forced confession and interrogation." ”

Chen Gong suddenly smiled and nodded, "This is a thoughtful method. It's just that although since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the local power has expanded, but if the combat power of the local state and county soldiers is used to compete with Dong Zhuo, who has the two trump cards of the Xiliang Army and the Central Army, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg after all. ”

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, and said calmly: "Runan Yuan's family, a famous family in the sea, the fourth world and the third duke, protégés and old officials are all over the world. Si Li's lieutenant, Yixiang Marquis Yuan Shao, now serves as the Bohai Taishou. His younger brother was the general Yuan Shu, but he was appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang. If Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, with the appeal of the Yuan clan in Runan, it may not be impossible to gather forces that can resist Dong Zhuo. ”

"Yuan Shao? Yuan Shu? Will these two men obey your commands and raise an army? Chen Gong raised his eyebrows.

"Dong Zhuo acted perversely, killed the ministers indiscriminately, and bullied celebrities, which has long damaged the interests of the Yuan family in Runan." Cao Cao smirked and said, "They just need an excuse, and my edict just gave them such a name for raising troops openly." ”

"Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui is the imperial prince, Shao's brother Yuan Ji is one of the servants of Jiuqing, his cousin Yuan Yi is Shanyang Taishou, and his younger brother Yuan Shu is Nanyang Taishou. With Yuan's reputation and power, if you raise your arms, there will indeed be many people who will follow. Chen Gong nodded.

"In addition, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao and Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao brothers are my best friends, and they are also loyal ministers with the Son of Heaven in their hearts." Cao Cao smiled and said: "Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao is the son of Taiwei Qiaoxuan. Before I assassinated Dong, I made an agreement with him to help the Son of Heaven together. If I summon the princes of the world, these three people will inevitably respond to the grand event. ”

Lu Yi said anxiously on the side: "I said Meng Dejun, don't you think you have revealed a little too much?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Cao Cao shook his head noncommittally and said, "If this person was really Dong Zhuo's person, I wouldn't have said so much to him." ”

"Haha. What a Cao Mengde. Chen Gong squinted his eyes and smiled: "Well said, I eat the imperial court, of course, I am a person from the imperial court, what does it have to do with Dong Zhuo." ”

"But why did he capture us here?" Lu Yi still doesn't know why.

"If it weren't for that, how would you be listening to me here?" Chen Gong walked over and uncovered the ropes between the two, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I am a Qi Refiner of the Sect, and I don't share the sky with Dong Zhuo, who is supported by the Sect, how can I be willing to be his subordinate?" ”

"So Gongtai is also a member of the world's anti-Dong Yishi?" Cao Cao stretched out his arm, as if he had expected it.

"Chen stayed too guarded by Zhang Miao, and when he heard that Cao Gong assassinated Dong and fled to Luoyang, he sent me to help." Chen Gong arched his hand without humility or arrogance: "In order to keep Duke Cao tonight, I had to use some means, please don't blame the two of you." ”

Where did this use some means, Lao Tzu's ribs were broken. Lu Yi scolded this Chen Gong in his heart for being thick-skinned.

"Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao?" Cao Cao exhaled slowly and sighed: "Meng Zhuo is really a caring person, it's not a loss that he has a heart-to-heart friendship with me." ”

Lu Yi frowned on the side, he also knew the relationship between Cao Cao and Zhang Miao in later generations. The friendship between the two used to reach the point of entrusting their family to life and death, but later Zhang Miao and Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao together and supported Lu Bu as the lord of Yanzhou, which is incomprehensible.

But Cao Cao forgave Zhang Xiu, who killed his eldest son, nephew and beloved general, in the end, he also let go of Chen Gong's family, but killed all the family members of Zhang Miao's brothers.

It's just that it really that coincidental? When Chen Gong said that he came to help him on the entrustment of Zhang Miao, Lu Yi was secretly wary.

"If Gong Cao wants to return to Peiguo County, I'm afraid it's too far." Chen Gong raised three fingers and said, "Why don't you go to Chen Liu's recruitment, Chen Liu's name is Bianchen Dajun." Zhang Fujun is also a good friend of Cao Gong and one of the eight chefs of famous people. Why do you stay away from the near? ”

"Chen Liujun?" Lu Yi's eyes swept over Chen Gong, but his eyes were suddenly stunned: "Chenliu County is the land of the ancient Chen Kingdom, it was the Great Liang during the Warring States Period, and it was Bianzhou in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is the famous Kaifeng Bianjing in later generations, the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties. The land is extremely rich and prosperous, and the local atmosphere is also quite brave. It's just that why Taishou happens to be Zhang Miao? ”

"Although Chenliu County is a good place to recruit soldiers, this county is close to Gyeonggi, so it is too close to Dong Zhuo, right?" Lu Yi touched his nose and smiled: "I think it's better to go to Danyang, where the people are fierce, and the recruited army is more combative." ”

"Zhang Mengzhuo's fist heart, how can I live up to it." Cao Cao laughed and said, "Just go to Chenliu." Chen Liuxiao and Wei Hong are my father's old friends. This person's family has a lot of money, but he is righteous and squanders his money, and he can't help Dong Daye. ”

"Since we have decided to do so, let's set off while the night is still dark." Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction.

"We? Do you want to go with us on the public stage? This time it was Cao Cao's turn to be surprised: "You are the county magistrate of Zhongmu County." ”

"The world is in chaos, if you can't get rid of Dong thief, restore the royal road. What does it mean when this prefectural order is made? Chen Gong sighed and shook his head.

"Gongtai is really a loyal person." Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed: "Zhongmu is still some distance away from Chen Liu, there is a Lu Jiazhuang in the middle, and its owner, Lu Boxuan, is an old friend of my father, so we might as well go there and rest first." ”
