Chapter 348: Chen Gong captures Cao Cao
As for whether Cao Cao is wanted or not.
Qin Yu actually didn't care.
In today's situation.
Cao Cao's existence was already a real threat to himself.
For him, the biggest threat now is the demons in Wang Li's mouth.
If Cao Cao is wanted, it will seem that he is really as brutal as Dong Zhuo.
Doesn't it seem that Cao Cao is a loyal man.
If he escapes, he will inevitably pull out a vote of soldiers and horses to fight against him in the future.
There is no need.
But if Cao Cao is not wanted.
Let Cao Cao return home all the way back unharmed.
He shouldn't have any extra thoughts.
After Qin Yu was really ready to face those demons, he would go back and find a way to settle Cao Cao and the others.
Anyway, with Cao Cao's ability, there will be no problem in managing at least one state government affairs in the future.
However, this is also another preparation that Qin Yu has done.
That preparation is that the demon did not come directly to the vicinity of Luoyang City.
Instead, it appeared directly in a large area in all parts of the entire Han Dynasty.
When the time comes, you'll have to fight on your own.
A person like Cao Cao, who has the potential to be a prince, must be the best candidate to fight those demons.
It was impossible for Qin Yu to deal with all the demons alone, so he could only rush with them.
So.
With this kind of premise, Qin Yu didn't want the relationship with Cao Cao to be too stiff.
However, what Qin Yu didn't expect was.
After he asked this question, the answer from all his men was that Cao Cao had to be wanted.
This made Qin Yu a little confused.
Originally, he thought that only Lu Bu would choose to want Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others also made the same choice.
According to them.
Now that Cao Cao is wanted, whether to kill him or not is secondary.
Their real purpose is to deter.
If Cao Cao, a person like Cao who clearly wanted to assassinate Qin Yu before, was finally swaggered away by him.
Then there may be more people in Luoyang City who want to assassinate Qin Yu.
In today's extraordinary times, it is natural that more is better than less.
Since they are already in power, and they are for the sake of the common people in the world.
Then simply completely subdue those scholars.
At least for now, it seems that these people don't believe that there will be demons from outside the sky.
I don't believe that everything Qin Yu is doing now is to prepare for dealing with demons.
There's no way to unite them anyway.
Just let them not pull their hind legs behind their backs.
Besides, it is completely unnecessary to befriend Cao Cao at such a time.
If Cao Cao is really a hero with a sense of the overall situation.
In the future, when the demon appeared, he would naturally let go of his previous prejudices against Qin Yu and choose to resist the demon invasion with Qin Yu.
If that time comes, he will still put his own selfishness before the world.
So if he exists or not, what is too much of a need?
If you really want to make trouble, you only need to send troops to suppress it.
There is no need to do this kind of thing now, it is just harmful and not profitable.
When Qin Yu heard this, he nodded.
Sure enough, he himself is much worse than the strategists of this era in this overall situation.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew a lot of inside stories that others didn't know.
I have gathered so many good generals and ministers around me in advance, I am afraid that it will be a problem to survive.
"Oh yes, do you remember the Lu Boyu I mentioned earlier?"
"Send someone to tell him, don't drink at night, and don't kill pigs when entertaining guests, or you will be killed."
Qin Yu said with a smile.
In fact, he originally asked the Flying Fish Army to find Lu Boyu in advance, but he just left a back hand for himself.
Cao Cao fled from Luoyang City and would definitely come to this place.
Qin Yu didn't know at that time that he would take Dong Zhuo's place.
I was thinking to see if this backhand could bring me a little benefit.
It doesn't look like much use now.
Whether to catch Cao Cao or not actually doesn't make much sense.
Compared to arresting Cao Cao, Qin Yu actually didn't want to arrest him.
What's the use of arresting him?
Anyway, no matter how much Cao Cao develops, he will not develop faster than himself.
Just keep him outside.
Let him slowly expand his strength, and if he wants to deal with demons in the future, he will at least have a team that can fight well.
It is said that Cao Cao escaped from the city and rushed all the way to Qian County, and when he passed through Zhongmu County, he was captured by the guard sergeant.
Cao Cao was taken straight to the county magistrate.
This county order is Chen Gong.
Chen Gong asked Cao Cao where he came from and who his surname was.
Cao Cao said bluntly: "I am a merchant, and my surname is Huangfu." ”
Chen Gong pondered for a long time and said: "When I was seeking an official in Luoyang before, I knew that you were Cao Cao, take him down for me, escort him back to Beijing tomorrow, and go to receive the reward!" ”
After taking Cao Cao down, Chen Gong thought to himself in his heart.
He had actually been paying close attention to the movements in Luoyang City before.
At this time, he was only a county magistrate.
But in fact, the power of the family behind his Chen Palace is not small.
He also knows a lot about the situation in Luoyang City.
Naturally, he knew what Qin Yu had done in Luoyang City during this time.
It's just that he still doesn't know the reason for Cao Cao's escape and what has happened in the past few days.
After all, there is a lag in the delivery of this message.
Now it's normal that he doesn't know.
In fact, for Qin Yu, Chen Gong also has his own judgment.
Wang Li's demonic theory, although many people don't believe it on the surface, they have already made plans behind the scenes.
The two-headed bet itself is the one they would choose.
And after carefully collecting information about Qin Yu.
Chen Gong also came to a conclusion.
Qin Yu didn't seem to be as heinous as those families and powerful people rumored to be.
He is indeed in charge of the abolition, and he is now the first powerful minister of the Han Dynasty.
But after he had the most authority, all he did was to strengthen the city's defenses, train soldiers, and stock up on food and various defensive equipment.
Things like chaos in the government and reckless behavior have really not been done.
He himself was at this time, and he didn't make people feel the slightest bit arrogant.
That's interesting in itself.
Could there be another explanation?
Qin Yu actually didn't want to become a powerful minister himself?
Could it be that the path he embarked on as a powerful minister was the result of various aspects from the beginning?
Chen Gong also knew about the prosperity of Lingling County before.
The divine water and corn in Qin Yu's hands were all things that these powerful families were extremely eager for.
It took two or three years to develop Lingling County into one of the richest counties on the Han territory.
Such a person, if he really holds the authority of the Han Dynasty, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
If he can expand the miracle of developing Lingling County to the entire Han Dynasty.
It may be more difficult to obtain the Divine Water.
But it's not that hard to expand the cultivation of those grains like golden corn.
However, Qin Yu doesn't look like the kind of person who would casually contribute this kind of thing.
Everything he does is very purposeful.
Now it seems that only when he truly grasps the power of the Han Dynasty will he feel that the entire Han court is his.
Then the development of the entire territory of Dahan, the final result is in his favor.
At that time, he will take out the real grain of golden corn and distribute it to the rest of them to plant.
After all the land of the entire Han Dynasty was renewed and planted with those golden corns.
I'm afraid it will only take a year or two.
The power they can control in the hands of these families will be directly doubled.
Until that time.
Wuhuan and Xiongnu in the north, Qiang people in the west, and barbarians in the south, why can they come to fight with the Han Dynasty again?
In the future, the soldiers will have enough food, and they will not be able to reproduce the grand scene of the original Emperor Wu.
If this kind of thing is really done one day, if they really want to repeat the prosperity of Emperor Wu's time, for these families, they will naturally get a faster speed of development.
That's a lot of land, a lot of lowly people.
Chen Gong was very clear.
With the power of the family behind him, it is definitely impossible to let him develop any more.
And the Han Dynasty has developed to this extent today.
In fact, the various families have already begun to swallow each other.
Such annexation is nothing more than that the territory is no longer enough.
No matter how hard he tries, I'm afraid he can only win the development opportunities for the family behind him for more than 100 years at most.
After a hundred years, the world will be in turmoil due to the gathering of powerful families from all over the world.
Now the Han Dynasty already has this tendency.
This is bound to happen in a hundred years.
It would be better to support Qin Yu at this time.
It is not a good thing to give yourself a more likely future from him.
Compared with those high-ranking families, everyone has not yet put the right mentality.
Chen Gong's mentality has long been extremely correct.
It was definitely impossible to confront Qin Yu, who had so many good things.
If you can't beat it, you only have to join.
In the past, they had no chance or excuse to go to Qin Yu.
It's good now.
Cao Cao sent himself over directly.
Such a good opportunity, if he Chen Gong can't grasp it, it will be a little ridiculous.
As for Qin Yu's own attitude towards the family, there are some problems.
Chen Gong didn't care.
In his opinion, the family could not be extinguished.
This is the general trend, and there is only the possibility of change.
Now that he has joined Qin Yu's command, the family behind him may have a temporary influence.
But compared to what they will get, maybe the impact will not matter for a while.
Could it be that the Yingchuan Xun clan is all fools?
At the risk of exterminating the clan himself, he had to follow Qin Yu from Yingchuan to Nanyang first, and then all the way to Lingling County.
No kidding.
So the plan was decided.
Chen Gong also made up his mind.
Early the next morning, he directly led someone to escort Cao Cao straight to Luoyang.
Wait for this way to Luoyang.
Chen Gong ordered someone to go directly to the General's Mansion to spread the word.
When Qin Yu received the news, his whole person was confused.
"That's not right, why did you Chen Gong, such a thick-eyed guy rebel?"
"Aren't you supposed to be like that, the kind of person who is very unusual, not a layman?"
"Shouldn't you deeply sigh that Cao Cao is really a loyal and righteous person in the world, and he has never met the master, and now after seeing Cao Cao, he will bow his head and bow directly?"
"I'm Dong Zhuo now, you brought Cao Cao here, do you want to vote for me?"
Chen Gong directly gave Qin Yu a chance to rectify it this time.
Then he asked people to go to Lu Bohao's house before to say that those who had and didn't have it were simply embarrassed and out of line.
"Forget it, let's order someone to escort Cao Cao down first."
"Bring Chen Gong over, I'll talk to him."
Qin Yu said.
At this time, it was too embarrassing to bring Cao Cao over.
As soon as they met, Cao Cao was about to scold and beg for death after a few words.
When the time comes, it will make me feel unhappy, and there is really no need for that.
After Chen Gong came to see Qin Yu, he was naturally very deferential to Qin Yu.
In fact, Qin Yu still has a good impression of Chen Gong.
He completely belongs to a person with a very bottom-line temperament.
If not.
He will not abandon his official position and run away with Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao killed Lu Bohao's family, he almost killed Cao Cao with a sword.
In the end, he was bound by the bottom line in his own heart, leaving Cao Cao alive.
It's a pity that the lord he chose to achieve his ideals is not very good.
Qin Yu treated Chen Gong well.
This naturally flattered Chen Gong.
Qin Yu was a general at this time, and he was a person above 10,000 people in the Han court.
And that's just the official position.
When it comes to actual authority.
Qin Yu is now the one of the Han Dynasty.
The emperor is nothing in front of him, and if he wants to abolish it, he will directly abolish it.
Such a person.
After seeing myself, I can still be so polite.
If Chen Gong didn't feel flattered like this, it would be abnormal.
Qin Yu is a modern person, and he has not fully adapted to their sense of dignity and hierarchy.
When he met Chen Gong at this time, he didn't regard himself as a high-ranking general.
Instead, he sat opposite Chen Gong and the others.
He carefully inquired about Chen Gong's thoughts and what solutions were there to the problems facing the Han Dynasty.
Chen Gong's whole person was dizzy.
He's just a small county magistrate!
was directly asked about these family and country affairs by such a big man as Qin Yu.
This is something that Chen Gong had never dreamed of before.
But now something more outrageous than a dream appeared in front of him very really.
Chen Gong naturally did not hesitate at all.
He gave a general account of some of the things he had thought about before, his views on the future, and so on.
After Chen Gong finished speaking, Qin Yu also had a general understanding of what kind of person Chen Gong was.
Although in the end, his views were not able to jump out of the background framework of this era.
is still limited by the rigidity of this era.
But it is enough to see that his ideas are still much more advanced than many scholars from families in this era.
He looked a little different from Xun Yu.
Xun Yu has now become the core of his own camp.
But Xun Yu was forced into Qin Yu's hands by the Xun clan at the beginning.
And Xun Yu's own personality is actually conservative.
Other words.
Fundamentally speaking, Xun Yu is still more inclined to the concept of the family in his heart.
He valued the concept of "home" more than "country".
Of course, this is not a big or small concept, but a deeper representation.
In comparison, Chen Gong is slightly more radical.
Qin Yu felt that if he put it in the game and appoint a regional legion leader for Chen Palace.
There is no need to arrange any legion phalanx for him.
He can choose to conquer the city himself.
This guy is definitely a militant from the bottom of his heart, and a wolf.
Qin Yu didn't understand it all along.
Why could Chen Gong see that Cao Cao was a hero in the world, and he directly abandoned the position of the county commander and chose to follow Cao Cao.
But when he followed behind Lu Bu later, he had obviously gone to Xuzhou and met Liu Bei.
Knowing that Lu Bu was not suitable to be a master, how could he meet Liu Bei, he didn't think about taking refuge in Liu Bei.
On the contrary, he was eager to give everything he had, and he also wanted to kill Liu Bei in Xuzhou first.
Now Qin Yu can see it clearly.
Chen Gong, the wolf annihilation, is fundamentally incompatible with Liu Bei.
And this is not the reason why he wants to kill Liu Bei.
wanted to kill Liu Bei because he saw that Liu Bei had the possibility of success.
And when he saw this, he was following behind Lu Bu and staying in the same place as Liu Bei.
If it is over time, after Liu Bei's strength gradually increases.
When the time comes, isn't it very likely that Lu Bu and him will be Liu Bei's attack, and even be slaughtered by Liu Bei in turn?
These are two possibilities.
But in Chen Gong's view, there is actually only one possibility for these two options.
If Liu Bei wanted to kill Lu Bu, he would have already killed him.
I didn't do it before, and there is a high probability that I won't do it later, unless Lu Bu is looking for death by himself.
That means that they are likely to become Liu Bei's subordinates in the future.
For Chen Gong, such a choice was even more uncomfortable than letting Liu Bei hunt them down.
He has a heart that wants to save the world.
But he was not optimistic about Liu Bei's potential.
Instead of wasting time following Liu Bei.
It's better to fight by Lu Bu's side.
He thinks he has enough cunning to stabilize the world.
If you add Lu Bu's bravery.
If you want to stabilize the world and revive the Han family, it should not be a difficult thing.
It's a pity.
What happened later was a little different from Chen Gong's expectations.
In short, I'm afraid that Lu Bu has swelled.
Lu Bu had no goal of his own at all from the beginning.
It's just that his position has expanded so fast that he also wants to use his own strength to conquer the whole world.
Chen Gong didn't want to see this happen.
Later, he did a lot of ghost operations by Lu Bu's side.
It can only be said that it is a pity to be true.
But now, Qin Yu felt that this was a good opportunity.
Lu Bu was now by his side, and Lu Bu himself had already seen the possibility of further martial arts.
With the firm goal of martial arts cultivation already in mind, his desire for power itself has been reduced to a minimum.
At this time, Chen Gong was also bent on supporting the Han family and rescuing the entire Han Dynasty from fire and water.
In fact, the purpose was not much different from Qin Yu's.
As long as Qin Yu didn't want to be the emperor himself, there would be no fundamental differences between the two of them.
If the wolf exterminator of Chen Gong is equipped under Lu Bu at this time.
Let these two old partners partner again.
Will there be an unexpected positive boost?
It's something to look forward to!
It's just a little pitiful for Cao Cao......
