Cao Cao said to Chen Gong: "It seems that my judgment is correct, if we don't strike first today, we will definitely be killed by them on the spot." ”

So the two made an appointment, drew their swords together and entered, no matter whether they met a man or a woman, they all killed, when Chen Gong killed the first person, he had already found that these people did not know martial arts, so he had some suspicions, but Meng De did not mean to stop, so he killed eight people in a row.

When the two came to the kitchen, they found a pig tied up, and instantly understood that what they were actually trying to kill was a pig, not a person.

Chen Gong was already suspicious, and said: "You also have too many hearts, now it's okay, kill all these good people!" ”

Cao Cao disagreed, and said: "We have discussed this matter, and now that there is a problem, it is all on my head." ”

Chen Gong was silent, and the two hurriedly left the village and got on the horse.

After walking less than two miles, he suddenly saw Lu Bohao riding a donkey, carrying two bottles of wine, and loading some fruits and vegetables, and shouted: "Virtuous nephew, where are you going?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "With a guilty body, I am afraid that I will affect you, and I dare not live for a long time!" ”

Lu Boyu said: "I have already ordered my family to slaughter a pig for you, why do you want to leave, please go back to eat!" ”

Cao Cao ignored it, rode his horse and walked forward, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly drew his sword and returned, saying, "Who is behind?" ”

Cao Cao successfully diverted Lu Bohao's attention, he looked back, Cao Cao took the opportunity to stab a sword at Lu Bohao's heart, Lu Bohao just looked at Cao Cao in disbelief, blood flowed out of his mouth, holding a bloody sword in his hand, and then fell down from the donkey.

This time Chen Gong was shocked and said: "Just now it was because of a problem with our judgment that we killed a good person by mistake, what did you do when you killed Lu Boyu this time, what is his crime?" ”

Cao Cao didn't have the slightest sense of guilt on his face, and explained: "Lu Boyao saw that the whole family was killed by us, do you think he will let us go like this, he will definitely lead the men and horses to chase us, and then our disaster will be great!" ”

Chen Gong was quite dissatisfied with this explanation, and said: "You know that there is a mistake, and you still want to kill people, it is really unjust!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The eldest husband is not informal, he would rather teach me to bear the people of the world, and stop teaching the people of the world to bear me!" ”

This point of view can be described as shocking, of course Chen Gong can't accept it, but he doesn't want to refute it anymore.

In the evening, after walking for several miles, he came to an inn to stay and fed the horses, and Cao Cao fell asleep first because he was very sleepy.

Chen Gong was lying on the bed, his mind was full of the scene of the tragic death of Lu Bohao's family during the day, he couldn't sleep over and over, thinking, "I thought Cao Cao was a good person, and he abandoned the official to join him, and wanted to make a career, but I didn't expect that he was a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged man, if he was kept, it would always be a disaster, and I should kill him to prevent future troubles!" ”

Thinking about it, he secretly took the sword and came to Cao Cao's bed.

Just about to make a move, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "I came here with him because of national affairs, although he killed some good people, because of this incident, it is disloyal for me to kill him, it is better to abandon him." ”

So Chen Gong inserted his sword and got on the horse overnight, traveled in the night, and went to the direction of Dongjun.

Cao Cao woke up and found that Chen Gong had left, and sighed: "This Chen Palace is really pedantic, just after I said a few words, I suspected that I was unkind and unjust, and abandoned me, I should leave quickly, I can't stay any longer." ”

So they galloped and arrived at Chenliu on the morning of the second day, where they went to see his father and told him in detail about the assassination, so the father and son scattered their possessions and began to recruit volunteers.

Due to the limited money, the recruitment effect is not ideal, so he suggested: "We have too little money, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed, here is filial piety and integrity, he is very righteous, and his family is also very rich, if we can get his help, our things will be easy to do!" ”

So Cao Cao specially set up a banquet and invited Wei Hong to his home, saying: "Now there is no emperor in the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo is autocratic, bullying the king and harming the people, and everyone in the world hates him. ”

Wei Hong smiled: "I have also had such an idea for a long time, but I haven't met a hero, since Meng De you have such a grand ambition, of course I am willing to spend all my family assets to help you." ”

Cao Cao was very happy, in the name of the emperor sent an edict, and then sent to various places, soon recruited a lot of volunteers, in order to improve the effect of recruitment, Cao Cao ingenuity, set up a white chess, on which was written the word "loyalty", less than a few days, a steady stream of righteous people came to take refuge, like raindrops gathered together.

Among these righteous people, there are Yangping Weiguo people, surnamed Le, Mingjin, the word Wenqian, there are Shanyang Julu people, surnamed Li, the name dictionary, the word Mancheng, Cao Cao all reused them as officials in front of the account, and later there was Pei Guozhen Xiahou Xuan, the word Yuan Rang, this person Cao Cao specifically inquired about the origin, he is Xiahou Ying, since he was a child, he learned guns and sticks, quite martial arts, at the age of fourteen, he worshiped a master to learn martial arts, someone scolded his master, he killed the man, and then fled, heard that Cao Cao was going to raise troops, so he took his younger brother Xiahou Yuan two, There are also more than 1,000 strong men who came to Chen Liulai for a party.

These two also have an identity, that is, Cao Cao's brother, Cao Cao's father Cao Song was originally the son of the Xiahou family, and he lived with the Cao family, so they are of the same clan.

After a few days, Cao Cao's brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong each brought more than 1,000 troops to help, and the two were skilled in bows and horses, and proficient in martial arts, Cao Cao was very happy, and ordered them to practice military horses in the village, while Wei Hong scattered all the money in the family, went to buy a lot of armor, and made a few flags. Some villagers knew that Cao Cao was recruiting troops, and although they couldn't participate, they also did their best to donate all the surplus grain at home, and some discarded farm tools were also dedicated to Cao Cao.

Yu Yi has been collecting dynamics in Luoyang City, in addition to Dong Zhuo is still a rotten life, innocent people die in Luoyang City every day, Li Ru goes in and out of brothels day and night, and each time he wants two people to accompany him, he also learned that Cao Cao has returned to Chenliu, recruiting troops and horses, and Yuan Shao of Bohai is also recruiting the wise men, Yu Yi believes that now is the best time to start a business, so he wrote a letter, the content is to let Liu Bei also catch up with this opportunity, revolt together, and he himself is willing to become an internal response.

However, Yu Yi's idea was refuted by Liu Bei in the letter, Liu Bei explained from his own identity that he was different from others, he was a member of the Han family, if he did this, it would be unkind and unjust, and let Yu Yi stop persuading himself, in addition, he also asked Yu Yi to take care of himself in Luoyang City, and some literati and doctors in the court should protect him if necessary, so as not to be victimized by traitors.

At this point, Yu Yi couldn't understand it, so he could only stand still from his words for the time being.
