Chapter 431: Cao Cao was tempted

"Why are you the only one coming back?"

Facing Kong Rong, who had just returned, Cao Cao's face was very cold, and his eyes were also very cold.

In a sense, it can definitely be called full of killing intent.

Of course, this is also true in a practical sense.

Because Cao Cao already had the idea of killing Kong Rong.

The reason why he didn't kill was mainly because Liu Bei was too anxious before, and he didn't let him find a suitable time all along.

But now it's different.

Something went wrong before the battle.

It's enough to make Kong Rong lose his life.

Although this kind of crime will add a bit of infamy to him, is Cao Cao the kind of person who cares about infamy?

He was just trying to find an excuse.

Of course, more importantly, he is no longer a prime minister.

Now he is the emperor.

If you want Kong Rong to die, isn't that casual?

Just let the other person do something wrong, and that's enough.

With the name of righteousness in hand, what can't be done?

"Your Majesty, the minister went to meet Chen Feng...... this time"

may have been prepared for a long time, Kong Rong was not too surprised at all, but reported to Cao Cao very calmly what he had seen and heard about this trip.

Of course, he concealed the key points that Chen Feng taught him how to support the Han family.

At the same time, he also concealed that others died because of him.

"Chen Yi is a member of the Chen family, and he surrendered directly after the past, and he also said that we want to find out the situation in Xiangcheng......"

"After Chen Feng heard the news, he wanted to kill me directly......"

"At the critical moment, I told my previous relationship with Liu Bei......"

"Maybe it's because of this relationship, or maybe it's because I didn't probe the situation......"

"Anyway, in the end, Chen Feng let me go."

When he said this, Kong Rong smiled self-deprecatingly: "Back then, a character like Chen Feng couldn't even get close to me, but now it's ......."

"I have to beg him for mercy so that I can avoid the killing situation."

"It's outrageous that the world is so impermanent!"

At the end of the words, Kong Rong waved his fist appropriately, as if he was really angry.

After listening to Kong Rong's report, Cao Cao didn't show anything, but his eyes became more and more cold.

He seemed to be about to give the order to kill Kong Rong.

But because of a moment of hesitation, Kong Rong found a way to live for himself.

"Since Chen Feng is unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!"

Kong Rong gritted his teeth angrily, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty please send troops to escort your ministers to the Central Plains, and the ministers will win over the wealthy families and families for Your Majesty!" ”

"You want to win over a wealthy family for me?"

Cao Cao seemed to have heard something incredible, and his whole face was full of surprise.

He really didn't expect Kong Rong to answer like this.

Because all along, although Kong Rong has been very cooperative, in fact, this guy has more or less some heart.

And this heart is not small.

It's just that Kong Rong is really a bit bad.

In general, in Cao Cao's eyes, this is just a guy who can talk about empty things, as for the actual matters......

Kong Rong really can't.

But even so, Cao Cao was still jealous of him.

No way, his fame is just too great.

It was so big that Cao Cao felt a headache.

Why the headache?

Of course, it's because whether you kill Kong Rong or not, it's an unpleasant thing.

To put it simply, once Kong Rong is killed, in terms of this guy's reputation, it may cause even more terrifying consequences than when he killed Bian Rang.

And such a consequence, he has already experienced once.

Even if he forgot, the scars on his hands would constantly remind him of what those wealthy families did after he killed Bian Rang.

If he hadn't been lucky enough, he might have been killed by Lu Bu.

But even if he was so lucky, he still left an indelible scar on his hand in the end (this matter is recorded in the Heroes and Wei Chen, and the credibility is extremely high).

The lesson is too big.

It was so big that when he wanted to kill Kong Rong, he would subconsciously feel a pain in his hand.

Of course, not subconsciously feeling, but really hurting.

In fact, every time it was summer, he felt as if there was a fire burning in his hands.

It's all because of Lu Bu......

In other words, it was all because of the killing of the border that led to this series of things.

Cao Cao didn't want to go through it again.

But if you don't kill Kong Rong, this guy's name will be a little too big.

Of course, if it was just like that, Cao Cao would probably still be able to bear it, after all, Kong Rong's age was not young.

But Kong Rong also likes to be close to some sensitive people.

This made Cao Cao have to be on guard.

However, even if there were more precautions, at this moment, Cao Cao also had the slightest idea of letting Kong Rong leave.

There is no other reason.

Kong Rong's proposal is really too attractive.

Because this is a battlefield, not a playhouse.

And on the battlefield, every minute and every second Cao Cao had to spend countless money and food.

The key is that most of this money and food have not been reimbursed, so he can only raise it a little by himself.

Yes, those wealthy families will not help him at all.

At most, it's just to help collect taxes.

As for more, such as using his own money and food to help him, it is completely impossible.

But if Kong Rong can go on a journey......

In terms of Kong Rong's reputation, it can really help him win the support of many wealthy families.

In this way, the pressure on his money and food will be much smaller.

In other words, even if Liu Bei really broke through Wancheng and came to Xiangcheng, he would have enough strength to consume with the other party.

It was consumed until Liu Bei couldn't bear it.

Cao Cao, who has the support of the entire Central Plains and most of the north, definitely has this confidence.

But before he can do that, he needs to get this support first.

But those people will not help him easily, especially to the detriment of their own interests.

Unless, there is someone like Kong Rong to help him.

The point is, this guy is really going to help him.

How could Cao Cao not be tempted?

What's more, Kong Rong also offered to let him send troops to escort ......

Wouldn't that keep him under surveillance?

It can be monitored and supported through Kong Rong's fame......

What could be better than that?

It's gone.

Of course, all this is just the premise.

The main reason for Cao Cao's determination was that he didn't actually know how Kong Rong should make trouble.

Yes, he didn't have Chen Feng's ability to look at the future generations at all, and he didn't know that chaos could still be played by collecting disciples......

Of course, strictly speaking, he actually knows.

After all, the reason why the Han Dynasty became what it is today was because of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

To say that it is impossible for the people to rebel is obviously an untrustworthy statement for an experienced person like Cao Cao.

However, Chen Feng gave another way of thinking.

It is slightly different from the disciples that Cao Cao understood.

So, he just didn't understand.

There is a saying in later generations that it is impossible for people to earn money beyond cognition, and this is the reason.

And Cao Cao is obviously in cognitive disorder at this moment.

"Good!"

So he finally made up his mind, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Since Wenju has the heart to help me, how can I reject this kindness?" ”

"Go, go!"

"Wenju doesn't have to worry about the guard, I will definitely send the most elite soldiers to see him off!"
