Chapter 14: Anecdote of Chen Liu, Rescue Cao Cao

On the outskirts of Luoyang's Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao was in rags at this time, gray-headed, like a beggar, Cao Cao leaned against a big tree, panting, and scolded in his heart: Originally, Ziyuan, you are too uninteresting, you actually left Meng De and ran back alone, you will be safe when you cross the Yellow River, and Meng De will have to pass through the checkpoints of Yanzhou before he can return to Qian County! Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at the sky helplessly, and continued to flee, being caught by Dong Fatzi, it was not fun, Dong Zhuo's methods of killing people were really cruel, cooking, frying, cooking, everything!

Just when Cao Cao cautiously passed through Dong Zhuo's encirclement step by step, Lu Rui had already arrived in Chen Liu, at this time Lu Rui's identity was the son of a wealthy businessman in Shandong, hehe, when he arrived at Chen Liu, he still had to cover up his identity, otherwise he would be discovered by Dong Fatzi, and his bones might be gone.

Approaching dusk, in the inn where Lu Rui stayed, Xu Shu, Dian Wei, Hua Tuo, and Lu Rui were sitting around a small table, Lu Rui was waiting for the return of the spies, whether Cao Cao was caught by the county government, or did not go to Chenliu, there are too few records of the Three Kingdoms, there is no exact record of the day when Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu, and Lu Rui can only come to touch the dead mouse.

Soon, the spy came back to report, and after the spy saw Lu Rui, he knelt down and said: "Master Hou, I didn't find that Lord Cao was detained in any cell in Chen Liucheng, and there were portraits of Lord Cao wanted in Chen Liu. Are we going to broaden our search? ”

Lu Rui looked at the secret agent, shook his head, and the secret agent arched his hand and went out.

Xu Shu was on the side, looking at Lu Rui, this son is filial piety, although Cao Cao is not his biological father, but he is so attentive, he goes deep into Chen Liu, and wants to hear the news of Cao Cao, so filial piety, his own son may not be able to do it, Xu Shu's opinion of Lu Rui is a step higher. Lu Rui didn't expect to bring Xu Shu out this time, and there was such a gain, Xu Shu promised Lu Rui, mainly for his mother, if Xu Shu wanted to serve sincerely, Lu Rui must have something extraordinary!

Seeing Lu Rui change his previous laughter and scolding, with a worried look, Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Master Hou, since there is no news from Lord Cao, it is good news, it means that Lord Cao is still safe, and we will make plans when the spies from Qian County come back, so as to estimate that Lord Cao should not have been captured by Dong Zhuo now, and is ready to arrive in Chenliu." ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he looked at Xu Shu and did not speak.

Xu Shu said again: "Master Hou, according to the news we received, Lord Cao should have left Luoyang half a month ago, Luoyang and Chen Liu are not far away, and the fast horse can arrive in three days, Lord Cao has not seen him for many days should be to avoid pursuit, and return to Qian County on foot or by detour, Chen Liu is the only way, please wait patiently, there will be good news." "Xu Shu doesn't know if Lu Rui, a four-year-old child, knows the meaning of his analysis, and with Lu Rui's IQ, he should know!

After hearing this, Lu Rui nodded, showing a hint of a smile, Xu Shu's analysis is almost the same as recorded in history. Dian Wei listened to Xu Shu's words on the side, and was already impatient, and shouted: "Master Hou, it's time to eat, Lao Dian's stomach is hungry." If Lord Cao is arrested, Dian Wei will lead people to rush into the cell to rescue Lord Cao! After saying that, he touched his stomach.

Looking at Dian Wei's appearance, Lu Rui pointed at him, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go for dinner!" After saying that, he went down with the three of them to eat.

The inn where Lu Rui lives is a chamber of commerce inn, providing a place for merchants to rest and stay, people and snakes are mixed, extremely complicated, there are many Jianghu artists who are also performing here, this is Xu Shu's suggestion, hidden in the city, here is convenient for Lu Rui's actions and disguise identity. Lu Rui and the four of them found a relatively quiet attic, sat down, and began to eat dinner.

Just when the four of them were eating, suddenly a person dressed as a scholar walked in, looked at Lu Rui, and then shook the bell in his hand and said, "Childe, there is something in my heart, and I have a bad appetite." ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and looked up, fortune teller? I was absent-minded just now, and I flipped over the dishes in my bowl, and I attracted this person? Lu Rui was irritable, threw the chopsticks, and said, "Don't tell your life, get out!" ”

Dian Wei also shook his fist on the side, and said: "Fortune teller, don't leave yet, I'm angry with Gongzi, Lao Tzu will break your head!" ”

Xiangshi shook his head, smiled, shook the bell in his hand, and said with a long smile: "A song of sunset in the West Mountain, if there is no voice, is it like a mountain and flowing water, and Boya does not meet the child period, but it is a pity." After finishing speaking, he sang a song about the sunset, and he was about to leave.

When Lu Rui and Xu Shu heard this, they were stunned for a moment. Cao Zi? Luoxi Mountain, there are words in the words, thinking of this, Lu Rui and Xu Shu said at the same time: "Slow! After speaking, the two glanced at each other, Lu Rui thought, it is worthy of Xu Shu, he thought of it so quickly, Xu Shu thought, Hou Ye is really smart, since he knows how to guess riddles at a young age!

Xiangshi smiled, and Xu Shu replied: "Mr. seems to have something to say, my little master wants to ask Mr. to sit down and have a good chat." ”

Xiangshi nodded, then straightened his clothes and sat down. Xu Shu asked: "Who is Mr., I don't know why you are here?" ”

Xiangshi arched his hand and said: "I am just a tourist in the rivers and lakes, good at meeting people, traveling around, and making a living from this." In the next phase person, eight characters: phase person, collect money, leave a message, leave!

When Lu Rui heard this, he smiled in his heart, it turned out to be a Jianghu Xiangshi, he didn't expect to meet a Jianghu Xiangshi here, but listening to his words, it didn't look like an ordinary Jianghu Xiangshi.

Xiangshi looked at Xu Shu, and then said: "This gentleman, I think that Mr. has changed his fate not long ago, congratulations to Mr., Mr. will definitely be able to show his ambitions in the future!" ”

When Xu Shu heard it, he didn't think so, the people of the rivers and lakes can't be trusted, and their fate has changed? Isn't this nonsense? After saying that, he smiled disdainfully!

When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned, this person is not simple! In history, after Xu Shu joined Cao Wei from Liu Bei's command, he did not say a word, he was unknown, and a strategist who defeated Cao Junzhi and Cao Ren was drowned. Xiangshi's words, Xu Shu's fate has changed, is it really seen by looking at the face?

Seeing Xu Shu's unbelieving expression, Xiangshi smiled and said: "Mr. has an old mother, who should have died unexpectedly, but now Mr.'s fate has changed, and it is a blessing in life to go to meet the old mother and live for a long time!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, how did he know that he was going to pick up his mother? Thinking of this, Xu Shu bowed and said, "Mr. Master, admire below!" Although Xu Shu didn't believe his words very much, he could see that he went to deliver his mother, this person was not simple, and he had to get to know each other well.

When Lu Rui heard this, could there really be such a god? Can you actually see Xu Shu's future? No, there can be no such person in the world! Just when Lu Rui was pondering, Xiangshi arched his hand again and said to Lu Rui: "This son, I look down at you as a rich and noble person, and in the future, Guanlu can be a first-class member with a longevity of one hundred." ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he smiled, and thought to himself: Even if you calculate Xu Shu accurately, you can also calculate me? Do you know where I'm from? Lu Rui was upset, and when he saw a man coming to talk, he could just have a pastime! Eight-character people? Hehe, I'd like to see.

Lu Rui looked at Xiangshi, and then said, "Bearded, can you figure out where I come from?" This son will reward you with a gold brick, if you can't count it, hehe, I'm going to smash your signboard. With that, he drew his wooden sword and swung it a few times. Grandma's, what are you capable of?

Xiangshi looked at Lu Rui, and then said, "Gongzi is from Qianjun and comes from the east!" ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he laughed and said, "Bearded, you are right, Steward Xu gave Bearded a gold brick, go down, these are enough for you to live for a long time." ”

Xu Shu nodded, took out a gold brick and gave it to Xiangshi, and after Xiangshi took the gold brick, he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, son." Please give pen and ink, and leave a message for the two below. ”

Xu Shu looked at Lu Rui, Lu Rui nodded, and Xu Shu ordered someone to take out the pen, ink and paper and hand it to Xiangshi. Xiangshi wrote a few words to the two of them and left.

After Xiangshi left, Lu Rui smiled and said to himself: "When you are upset, it is also a pleasure to have this person to relieve your boredom, Xiao Xuxu, is he accurate?" ”

Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Son, Xiangshi's words, at first the subordinates didn't think so, but he said that I took my mother, and the subordinates were taken aback, but now, the subordinates understand." ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he asked, "What do you understand?" ”

Xu Shu showed Lu Rui the jade ring in his hand and said: "Son, this is the custom of his hometown, the wanderer goes out, returns to his hometown to visit his mother, he must wear this thing, the minister travels all over the world, he must know the customs of his hometown, and he will trust this person if he doesn't know the vulgar!" ”

Lu Rui looked at Xu Shu, he was really a wise man, he saw this person's specialty so quickly, he traveled all over the world, he was knowledgeable, erudite and memorized, and he relied on observing words and feelings to please others and obtain money!

When Dian Wei heard this, he shouted loudly: "So that's the case, Lao Tzu thought he was a fairy, and he could know our itinerary, but it turned out that he just happened to be a coincidental scholar!" I almost deceived Lao Tzu! ”

Hua Tuo, who had been silent for a long time at this time, looked at the three of them and said: "This person is not an ordinary scholar, but the person who is a scholar is extremely effective!" ”

"What? Old man Hua Tuo, do you know him" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, how could Hua Tuo know the Jianghu Xiangshi?

Hua Tuo smiled and said, "Childe, the old man doesn't know him, but looking at his appearance, the old man guessed who he is."

When Lu Rui heard this, he pointed at Hua Tuo with chopsticks and said, "Old man, who is he?" ”

Hua Tuo arched his hand and said: "He is a person from Peiguo, when the old man was visiting the doctor in Xuzhou, he heard of this person, this person is called Zhu Jianping, he is good at getting along with people, and he is famous in Qingxu!" ”

Lu Rui was stunned, Zhu Jianping? Others don't know him, but for Lu Rui, who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, he knows that he is the first minister of the Three Kingdoms. Thinking of this, Lu Rui showed an evil smile again, hehe, this person, but talent, my Lu Rui's favorite talent! An unexpected idea was born in Lu Rui's mind, Lu Rui wanted to use Zhu Jianping as a cash cow!

Lu Rui looked at Dian Wei and said, "Evil, you quickly send someone to intercept the Xiangshi just now and tie him up to my son!" ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, nodded, and went down, but it's a pity, Zhu Jianping has long been gone, and Lu Rui didn't care after he knew, anyway, this person will serve Cao Cao in the future, and he will get it again when the time comes, hehe, little piggy, you are a nameless official in Cao Wei, it is better to come and earn money for this marquis!

Zhu Jianping's matter, as an episode of Lu Rui's trip to Chen Liu, passed like this. Lu Rui didn't pay attention to Zhu Jianping, but continued to pay attention to Chen Liu's situation, hoping to pick up Cao Cao as soon as possible and return to Qian County.

In the following days, Lu Rui disguised himself as the son of a wealthy merchant and hunted outside the city, hoping to meet Cao Cao, but unfortunately, there was no result for several days. On this day, it was approaching dusk, and Lu Rui and the others slowly returned to Chenliu.

Lu Rui's mood was also impatient at this time, did Cao Cao have any accidents? The arrival of Lu Rui has set off a butterfly effect, and Lu Rui, who did not exist in history, Lu Rui has been, will Cao Cao's history change? Thinking of this, Lu Rui was shocked, if Cao Cao had any accidents, then he didn't have nothing? Grandma, God doesn't play with me like this!

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Lu Rui saw a group of officials around the door, as if interrogating a beggar, Lu Rui looked at it, back, this back is Cao Cao! Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said to Dian Wei: "Evil, the person in front is my mortal enemy, you arrest me, stun him, I want to deal with him!" "It happened suddenly, Lu Rui can only be in a hurry, and get Cao Cao first!

As soon as Dian Wei heard this, he immediately rode his horse over, grabbed his left hand from the officials, tied Cao Cao to the horse's back, and with a blow from his right hand, Cao Cao was stunned, and then took him to Lu Rui's side. A group of officials were frightened by this formation, and after reacting, they surrounded Lu Rui's horse team.

The leading official saw Lu Rui and his party, and they were not good at stubble, they were probably rich or children of a family, and the official scolded: "Who are you, who dare to stop the government's interrogation?" ”

When Lu Rui saw it, he immediately took off the horsewhip next to the carriage, and then lashed at Cao Cao, saying: "Grandma, you bastard, you dare to steal my son's things, looking for death, I finally found you, kill you, kill you!" ”

Lu Rui's horsewhip was whipped loudly, and Cao Cao's body was drawn out of blood marks, and the people next to him were surprised, Lu Rui actually had such strength, hehe, learning art from Wang Yue was not in vain!

The official looked at it and was stunned, this is a person who steals things? Hua Tuo had seen Cao Cao, and when he saw this, he immediately stood up and said: "Official, this person is an old servant of our family, who stole our son-in-law's night pearl half a month ago and ran out, but I didn't expect to meet here, our son-in-law is still young and ignorant, so let the guards arrest him, please forgive me." ”

Xu Shu is a smart person, as soon as he saw the posture, he knew that this person was going to be saved, and then took out two gold bars, handed them to the official and said: "Official, I'm sorry, the little boy is here for the first time, and he doesn't know the rules, you see that we have been hunting around here for so many days, little meaning, not respect!" ”

When the leading official saw the gold, he smiled, coughed a few times and said, "I see, don't do this in the future, and it depends on the time to arrest the servants!" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes, sir, we must pay attention." ”

The leading official looked at Cao Cao, and then said, "You guys go, don't do this in the future." ”

Lu Rui pointed at Cao Cao and said, "Evil comes, drag him back, I will deal with him." With that, he got into the carriage. And the great detachment entered the city through the west gate. Cao Cao was like a dead pig, tied to a horse by Dian Wei and dragged into the city.

As soon as Lu Rui entered the city, he ordered someone to put Cao Cao in a carriage, and then galloped all the way, leaving Chenliu from the east gate and going to Qian County.

After Lu Rui left, a servant said to the leading officer: "Head, I have been paying attention to that group of men and horses for a few days, and today I am sure that the big man on horseback is Dian Wei of our Chen Liu!" ”

When the leading official heard this, he said, "What, isn't Dian Wei rumored to have served Cao Cao's adopted son Lu Rui?" The kid just now? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

The officials looked around and said, "Head, there are hundreds of them, all of them are like an army, are we officials opponents?" When the county soldiers are transferred, we are not already on the streets, Dian Wei killed people at the beginning, and you don't know his martial arts! ”

The leading official was stunned, and only after half a sound did he say: "Let's go, don't tell anyone about this, let's continue to arrest Cao Cao!" ”

In the broken temple on the outskirts of Qian County, after a few days of travel, Lu Rui and his party have arrived in the territory of Qian County, today, everyone is resting here, suddenly, Cao Cao's laughter came from the temple!

Cao Cao hugged Lu Rui and said: "Rui'er is smart, she actually thought of the plan of whipping her middle father in public, it is really powerful, it is not my adopted son Cao Mengde!" The words are all admiration for Lu Rui.

Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao and was moved in his heart, Cao Cao is really a real man, with a big heart, although Lu Rui had no choice but to do it, but he always whipped Cao Cao, I didn't expect Cao Cao not to blame himself, he is really a real villain, a real temperament!

Lu Rui's whipping of Cao Cao has also been recorded in history. Romance of the Three Kingdoms. WEI Shu. The Biography of Wenxin Hou": Wen Xinhou, talented and intelligent, and Emperor Wu Zichong, not comparable, whipped Taizu at the age of five, Chen Liu escaped, and it was passed down as a good story! When Lu Rui saw Chen Shou compiling this history book, he laughed, Lao Tzu was the first person in the Three Kingdoms to whip Cao Cao!

In the winter of 189 AD, Cao Cao returned to Qian County, ready to start his career as a prince, and Lu Rui was about to start his path from the dragon minister! Cao Wei, Lu Rui is here!
