Chapter 108 Cao Cao sacrificed his sword and fled, and Duke Lu was killed

said that Wang Yun scolded Dong Zhuo for misleading the country at the banquet, crying and crying. The same is true of the ministers, and suddenly there was a cry at the banquet.

At this time, one of the people in the banquet stroked his palms and laughed, accusing everyone: "The princess of the Manchu Dynasty, crying until tomorrow at night, crying until night, can you still cry Dong Zhuo to death?" ”

It's also said, can this cry make people cry to death?

No wonder this man laughed at them!

Wang Yun looked up, but it was Cao Cao, who was newly promoted to Xiao Cavalry Captain.

Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy, left, and the military horses of the West Garden were gone, and they were all taken over by Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao was originally a military captain, but was moved by Dong Zhuo to a cavalry captain, temporarily leading some soldiers and horses in the West Garden.

Seeing that he was frivolous, Wang Yun shouted angrily: "Your ancestors also ate the Lu Han Dynasty, and now they don't want to serve the country but laugh at it?" ”

At this time, Cao Cao Fang stopped laughing and said righteously: "I'm not making fun of him, but because you are usually full of wisdom, but today you have no plan to kill Dong Zhuoer." Although Cao Cao is not talented, he hopes to cut off Dong Zhuo's head and hang it above the gatehouse of the capital to thank the world. ”

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Wang Yun suddenly stood up from the banquet, walked up to Cao Cao, and asked humbly, "What is Meng De's opinion?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Recently, a certain commission has been trying to serve Dong Zhuo with his body, but he actually wants to take advantage of his negligence. Today's Zhuo is quite faithful, and the reason for the time is close to Zhuo. Hearing that Situ has a seven-star treasure knife, he is willing to borrow and manipulate it into the Prime Minister's Mansion to assassinate him, although he does not hate it! ”

Wang Yun was moved by Cao Cao's words, so he personally poured wine and offered it to Cao Cao, saying: "Meng De really has a heart, it is really a great fortune in the world!" ”

Cao Cao swore a clear oath: "Today, Cao Cao has been valued by Situ and the ministers, and given the seven-star treasure sword." Cao Cao will definitely fight against the thief Dong Zhuo, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent! ”

Wang Yun then took out the treasure knife and gave it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao hid the treasure knife on his body, and after drinking, he got up and said goodbye to the officials......

The next day, Cao Cao wore a treasure knife and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where did he see the guards asking, "Where is the Prime Minister?" ”

Because Cao Cao frequently appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, the guards were all familiar with it, so they replied: "The Prime Minister is now in the small pavilion." Cao Cao didn't need to be informed, and went straight inside.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the small pavilion, he saw Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo sat on the bed, and Lu Bu stood aside.

Seeing that Cao Cao came later than usual, Dong Zhuo asked, "Why is Meng De late?" ”

Cao Cao replied, "Ma Lu is late." "It means that my horse is weak and walks slowly, so it is late.

In the past few days, Cao Cao's performance was quite appreciated by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo said to Lu Bu: "I have a good horse from Xiliangjin, Fengxian, you personally choose a horse to give to Meng De." ”

Lu Bu had to give the order.

Seeing the opportunity appear, Cao Cao secretly thought to himself: "Old thief, you deserve to die!" "I wanted to draw a sword and give it, but there was a precedent for Wufu, and I was afraid of Dong Zhuo's strength, so I didn't dare to act rashly.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was fat and uncomfortable sitting for a long time, so he fell backwards and lay down, facing the couch.

In such a situation, Cao Cao was overjoyed and said secretly: "The old thief should rest!" He hurriedly put his sword in his hand, and wanted to stab.

Xu is Dong Zhuo's life.

He looked up and saw in the mirror, saw Cao Cao drawing a knife behind him, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Meng De, what do you want?" ”

Cao Cao is not Wu Fu, he was in a hurry, presented a knife with both hands, presented it in front of Dong Zhuo, knelt on one knee and said: "My subordinates got a treasure knife today, and I came to present it to Enxiang!" ”

Dong Zhuo took it, looked at it carefully, and saw that this knife was more than a foot long, and the seven orbs were inlaid with ornaments, which were extremely sharp, and it was indeed a treasure knife; Seeing that Lu Bu had already entered the pavilion, he handed the treasure knife to Lu Bu.

Cao Cao very obediently unsheathed the knife and handed it to Lu Bu.

Seeing that the horses were outside, Dong Zhuo led Cao Cao out of the pavilion to look at the horses: "Meng De, how is this horse?" ”

"Good horse! you for a test ride! ”

Dong Zhuo did not doubt that he had him, so he asked someone to change the bridles with him.

Cao Cao led the horse out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, immediately turned over on the horse, whipped it quickly, and ran down in the southeast direction.

He wouldn't dare stay any longer!

When Dong Zhuo comes back to his senses, won't he send soldiers and horses to chase after him? Wouldn't it be too late to run at that time?

Sure enough, when Cao Cao left, Lu Bu said to Dong Zhuoyan: "Fang Cai, a certain horse was tied outside, and he saw that Cao Cao seemed to be assassinated, but fortunately, his father-in-law drank it in time, and he changed to offering a knife." ”

Hearing Lu Bu say this, Dong Zhuo also thought about Fang Cai's situation for a while, and said, "I also have some doubts. ”

While he was talking, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru came in from outside.

Dong Zhuo told him what happened just now.

Li Ru pondered for a moment and said: "Cao Cao has no wife and children in Beijing, and he has always lived alone in an apartment. Now send to his dwelling and summon him. If he is undoubtedly bound to come to see him, he will offer a sword; If you can't prevaricate, you will be assassinated, and you can be caught and asked. ”

Dong Zhuo sent someone out of the summons playground.

However, after going for a long time, the man came to report: "Lord, Cao Cao did not return to the apartment, but galloped out of the east gate on horseback. When the doorman asked, Cao Cao said: Cheng sent an emergency gongwen. The doorman did not suspect and let him go. ”

Li Ruyan said: "Cao thief is empty-hearted and fled, he must be assassinated!" ”

Dong Zhuo was furious and scolded: "I'm tired of using it so much, this guy actually wants to harm me!" ”

Li Ru said on the side: "There must be an accomplice here, and you can find out when you hold Cao Cao." Then he suggested that Dong Zhuo draw a picture, post notices, publish them everywhere, and arrest Cao Cao: capture the donor, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households; Harbourers are guilty of the same crime.

Besides, Cao Cao escaped from the city and galloped all the way, which was really a horse and a desert.

came out of Luoyang and went straight to Qian County.

Passing through Zhongmu County, Cao Cao wanted to pass through the customs in confusion, but he was captured by the sergeant guarding the pass and escorted to see the county order.

The magistrate asked, "Who are you?" How do you make a living? ”

Cao Cao bowed his head and said, "I am a foot merchant, and my surname is Huangfu." ”

The county commander stood up, walked to Cao Cao, stared at Cao Cao, muttered for a long time, suddenly smiled, and said: "When I was seeking an official in Luoyang before, I knew that you were Cao Cao, how to hide it!" And bring it to prison, and tomorrow I will go to Beijing to ask for a reward. After speaking, without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, he was put in prison, and the soldier was rewarded with some food and wine.

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao was feeling sorry for himself, but he saw someone summoning him.

It turned out that the county commander sent a confidant to secretly take out Cao Cao and bring him to the backyard for interrogation.

After Cao Cao sat down, the county magistrate asked: "I heard that the prime minister treats you well, why did you bring trouble on yourself?" ”

Cao Cao looked at the county order in front of him with disdain, squinted his eyes and said, "Yan Que An knows Honghu Zhizai!" And when thou hast taken me, thou shalt deliver me and ask for a reward. Why ask! ”

Seeing Cao Cao like this, the county commander retreated left and right, and said to Cao Cao: "Don't you underestimate me." I am not a layman, but I have not met his master. ”

Cao Cao said: "My ancestors ate Hanlu in the world, if you don't think about serving the country, how is it different from birds and beasts?" I bend to those who are excellent in things, and I want to take advantage of the plan to eliminate harm for the country. It can't be done now, it's the will of God! ”

Seeing Cao Cao's righteous words, the county commander was a little impressed in his heart, so he asked: "Where will Meng De go on this trip?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "I will return to my hometown, issue an edict, and summon the princes of the world to raise troops to punish Dong Zhuo: my wish is also." ”

These bold words immediately moved the county order.

The county commander hurriedly stepped forward, untied the rope for him, helped him sit on the top position, bowed down, and said: "Gongzhen is a loyal and righteous person in the world!" ”

Cao Cao also stood up and bowed and asked for the name of the county order.

The county magistrate replied: "My surname is Chen, my name is Gonggong, and the word is Gongtai." The old mother and wife are all in East County. Now I feel loyal and righteous, and I am willing to abandon an official and flee from the public. ”

As the saying goes, there are times in life when you need to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it. Even if he is about to die, he will not recruit anyone.

That night, Chen Gong packed up the road expenses, changed clothes with Cao Cao, each carried a sword to defend himself, and rode a fast horse to Cao Cao's hometown.

After running for three days, the two went out day and night, and walked on a remote road to Chenggao County.

It was getting late, Cao Cao pointed to the deep forest, and said to Chen Gong: "There is a person here whose surname is Lu, whose name is Boxu, and he is my father's sworn brother. How about spending the night with them tonight? ”

After running around for days, Chen Gong naturally wanted to find a comfortable place to rest, so he agreed.

Before coming to the village, the two dismounted and went inside to see Lu Bohao.

After the greetings, Lu Bo said extravagantly: "I heard that the court is full of documents, and I am very anxious to catch you, and your father has avoided Chen. How did you get here? ”

Cao Cao recounted the past, then pointed to Chen Gong and said: "If it weren't for Chen County's order, it would have been shattered." ”

Lu Boyu hurriedly leaned over to thank Chen Gong: "If the little nephew is not the envoy, the Cao family will be destroyed." Let Jun Kuanhuai sit peacefully, and stay in the grass hut tonight. ”

After saying that, he made the two of them do a while, and then got up and entered.

After a long time, he came out and said to Chen Gong: "The old man has no good wine at home, and let the old man go to the West Village to sell a bottle to treat each other." After saying that, he hurriedly got on the donkey and went out.

Cao Cao and Chen Gong sat in the hall for a long time, and suddenly heard the sound of sharpening knives in the back of the village.

How do you know that this Cao Cao is a suspicious person, and when he saw Lu Bohao's many suspicious things, he muttered in his heart.

He said to Chen Gong: "Lu Boyu is not my closest relative, and it is very suspicious to go here, so it is better for us to go and eavesdrop on one or two before we get closer." ”

Now that the two of them are like frightened birds, when the grass and trees are all soldiers, Chen Gong is naturally more careful, and he and Cao Cao quietly pinch and walk to the back of the grass hall.

At this time, someone in the room happened to speak: "What is it like to tie it up and kill it?" ”

After only half listening to the words, he pulled out his sword and said to Chen Gongyan: "There will definitely be no mistake!" If you don't strike first, you will be captured. After finishing speaking, he entered with Chen Gong with a sword, regardless of men and women, and directly swung his sword to kill, killing eight people of all ages.

When they searched the kitchen, they found a pig tied up in the hall to kill it.

Chen Gong was surprised: "Meng De is suspicious, he killed a good person by mistake!" ”

After speaking, the two hurriedly left the house, got on their horses, and left the village.

After walking less than two miles, he saw two bottles of wine hanging in front of Lu Bo's saddle, and returned with fruits and vegetables in his hands.

Seeing the two of them, Bo Hao shouted, "Why did the virtuous nephew and the envoy go?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "Those who have been offended, do not dare to live for a long time!" ”

Bo Hao warmly welcomed the guests and said: "I have paid my family to slaughter a pig, virtuous nephew." Why do you hate to stay overnight? Please change to ride. "I didn't know that Cao Cao didn't care about it, and he rode his horse.

After only a few steps, Cao Cao actually drew his sword and turned back, and called Bo Hao: "Who is coming?" ”

Hearing the scream, Bo Hao turned around and was slashed by Cao Cao under the donkey.

Seeing this, Chen Gong was shocked and asked, "Shicai killed Er by mistake, what is it now?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "When you go home, you see that many people have been killed, and you can take a break?" If you lead a crowd to chase after you, you will be doomed. ”

Listening to his arguments, Chen Gong taught: "Killing people knowingly is a great injustice!" ”

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "I'd rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me." ”

What a "rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me"!

Cao Cao didn't know what to say, and retired a wise man.

Chen Gong's heart was gloomy......
