Chapter 11 How can you not bring a knife
The princes looked at He Chen's face and pretended to be crazy and couldn't help sneer. Everyone knew that this was a excuse, but it made the public speechless. What they said was also the truth. Zhang Ji fought with Dong Zhuo in the north for more than ten years, with outstanding achievements and few defeats. If this guy can defeat him, it can also be regarded as the smoke of the ancestral grave. It's ridiculously lucky. It's just that everyone didn't expect that this guy is far more cunning than his appearance. Ordinary people will never say such a thing.
Yuan Shao was out of breath, but he couldn't do it again, so he could only sulk. At this time, Sun Jian came out of the list, and his eyes swept over He Chen with some contempt. He quickly turned his head away and said loudly, "Since He Taishou wants to rectify the number, I will lead the army to fight against Hua Xiong."
"Wentai can fight well and fight bravely through the three armies. If he leads the army to fight, he will defeat Hua Xiong and boost the momentum of our coalition." At this time, someone on the side came out to help.
He Chen directly ignored Sun Jian. He was said by Tian Feng and Xun You before that he even had a favorable impression of him. Besides, didn't Wang Rui still live well? His eyes were attracted by the speaker. The man's oily powder was not a good bird at first glance. His lips were thin and his cheeks were pointed, which made people feel extremely mean. A pair of mung bean-sized eyes purred, making people doubt what bad idea they were thinking.
"Highway, what you say is reasonable." The princes said with a voice.
"Highway? Isn't this person Yuan Shu? No wonder he will agree to Sun Jian to fight. This is full of bad water and uneasy and kind-hearted. Yuan Shu was extremely ambitious and coveted Sun Jianwuyong, so he came up with a plan to wolf down the tiger. If Sun Jian wins, he will recommend merit and sell face to Sun Jian. If Sun Jian was defeated, he would take advantage of his vitality to be greatly damaged and collect the elite soldiers of Changsha. It's killing two birds with one stone.
With Sun Jian's IQ, it is estimated that he can also see that he is famous, but this person is extremely self-confident. In addition, he has defeated Hu Zhen several times in a row before, and he is even more confident. Obviously, he does not pay attention to Hua Xiong. He Chen thought secretly.
When Yuan Shao saw that it was his brother Yuan Shu who spoke, he agreed to shut up and not say much.
The matter was settled like this, and then everyone discussed it again and dispersed one after another. Before leaving, except for Sun Jian's greeting, all the princes ignored He Chen's departure, and only looked at him with a smile not far away. This person is not tall, and it is estimated to be in the early 160s, but it makes people feel very capable, and the appearance is also extremely ordinary. His thin eyes are long and his mouth is wide, but with a smile, there is an outstanding and unrpaced detached posture on his body. Obviously, he is not an ordinary person.
He Chen's mind moved and greeted him and said, "I don't know the general's name. Why are you laughing?"
The man obviously did not expect that He Chen would take the initiative to talk to him. He was a little surprised and said, "There is no need to be polite to the emperor. I am Cao Yan in Peiguo Qiao County. After hearing the feat of the emperor, Cao was floating three whites in a row, and he only sighed that he could not recognize each other. At the end of this day, my long-cherished wish is presented. Seeing the posture of the king of the dragon and the tiger, he is really not a mortal.
He Chen's eyes turned black, and he almost fainted. Is this person Cao? Subconsciously, his hand touched his waist, but it was empty. My heart sank, and then I remembered that when I entered the main village today, I had solved the sword. I couldn't help but hate it in my heart. This is a good opportunity for thousands of years, and I missed it in vain.
Cao Jian withdrew his smile, looked at He Chen's empty-handed waist, and said suspiciously, "Your lord, this is..."
He Chen came to his senses, thanks to his cleverness, and laughed repeatedly, "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, did you forget this feat of several decades so quickly?"
Cao Yan looked at He Chen's face suspiciously, and then seemed to wake up and laughed, "So that's it. I'm ashamed to say that the three hundred dead can kill all the euses in the palace. Cao can only escape with a seven-star sword."
It turned out that at Wang Yun's banquet before, everyone suffered from Dong Zhuo's atrocities, but Cao laughed and said that he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo. Later, he used Wang Yun's seven-star sword to stab him. As a result, Dong Zhuo was tute, and Cao was unable to offer a knife instead. After failure, he escaped from Luoyang, and then gathered to rise up. This is a story recorded in the Romance. There is no obvious record in history whether Cao Yan has assassinated Dong Zhuo. But even so, He Chen also thinks that Cao's story is really worth it.
Everyone knows that Cao Yan is known as a hero. He is best at pretending to deceive others' trust. He is by no means a young man who pulls his sword and angrily. The reason why Cao Yan can be called a hero is that his IQ must be superior and far-sighted. How can he not know that even if he kills Dong Zhuo, he can't escape from Lv Bu's or Kyoto's sphere of influence. As a generation of Jons, he naturally does not want to be a pawn for others to fight for power, let alone a cannon fodder pawn in this struggle. On the contrary, he should want to take the opportunity of assassinating Dong Zhuo to gain enough political capital and prestige for himself like He Chen, and set up a banner of justice for the future.
Wang Yunshou's banquet was mixed with people, and everyone was scratching together and spitting. If anyone really wants to kill Dong Zhuo, I guess he will be mute. But Cao Wei dared, and it seemed that he did the same, and then he borrowed Wang Yun's seven-star sword. Think about it, if Cao Yan is really going to assassinate Dong Zhuo, why do you have to pretend to be so high-profile? You should know that Dong Zhuo holds the power. Who dares to pat his chest to ensure that these people will not see the wind and rudder or Dong Zhuo's informant? Besides, since it is a stab, as long as it is a dagger or a short knife, and it is also said in the performance that Cao Yan often enters and exits Dong Zhuo's gate, and there is no problem with a knife? The action must be very convenient. Then why does he still want Wang Situ's seven-star sword? Therefore, He Chen thought that Cao Yan did not intend to assassinate Dong Zhuo from the beginning. In fact, he really went to offer a knife, then fled the capital, returned to his hometown and threatened that he could not assassinate Dong Zhuo, and he would raise an army to fight again. In this way, there are countless heroes in the world, and they have also received the support of the local rich businessman Wei Hong. They have done their best to buy clothes and armor flags, and there are countless people who send food from all over the world. It can be seen how important justice and reputation are.
Of course, these ideas are only He Chen's own speculation. Only Cao Shen himself knows what the facts are.
A shocking and bold idea suddenly appeared in He Chen's mind. At this time, Cao Qian was still contempted to help the Han Dynasty. Although he had ambition, he was only a desire for power. He was far from the point of starting his own business and holding the emperor to make the princes. If I recruit him as a subordinate, I don't know what will happen to the subsequent pattern of the world? Thinking of this time, He Chen laughed hoarsely, and even he was happy with this whimsical idea. Of course, He Chen just thought about it casually. You should know that He Jin was already a lieutenant of the Dian army at that time, and now he is acting as a general of Fenwu among the eighteen princes. No matter which official position is, it is many times higher than himself. How can he recruit others?
Many ideas passed by quickly in his mind, and He Chen smiled. If it hadn't been for the scar on his face that attracted people's attention, how simple the expression looked, he would be honest. He couldn't make another plan. He smiled and said, "Meng De is the hero of the world. Today, I am very happy. If you don't ask Meng De to move somewhere, I will wait for a drunk tonight?"
Cao Jian meditated for a moment, and his eyes flashed. Suddenly, he saw two powerful and powerful generals coming. He couldn't help saying happily, "Yuan Rang, Miaocai, why are you here?"
He Chen was stunned. Isn't this Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun's brothers? Shit, why is it such a coincidence? Is this the time to come?
"My subordinates went to see the princes, but the lord did not come out. I'm afraid there is something wrong, so I came here to look for them." The one on the left is very tall, dressed in iron and heavy armor, with a fleshy face.
"Haha, nothing. Come and see the famous Nanyang He Taishou." Cao Chen stretched out his hand to hold He Chen and said with a smile on his face.
"I haven't seen Xia Houyuan and Xia Hou Dun before He Taishou." The two of them saluteed like a bell.
He Chen dragged the void with one hand, indicating that he did not need to be polite. He gently broke away from Cao's thick palms and carefully examined the two generals. Then he praised: "Meng De's men are really fierce. I think these two are extraordinary-looking, burly and strong, and their palms are thick with thick cocoons, which must be caused by the long-term use of weapons."
"Haha, He Taishou is overreputed. May I ask who in the world doesn't know that Taishou is the tiger general of the world?" Cao Qian laughed modestly.
He Chen was frustrated twice, and he was a little depressed. Then he chatted a few more times and left.
Cao Qian looked at the back of He Chen's gradual departure, and his bright smile gradually became a little gloomy. He said solemnly, "Yuan Rang, Miaocai, can you see He Chen's movements just now?"
The two nodded at the same time and said, "I can see it clearly."
"What do you think?" Cao said coldly.
Xia Houyuan said in a low voice, "If you don't guess wrong, He Taishou's first reaction when he sees the lord is to subconsciously draw the sword, which is not what he said about stabbing the knife at all."
"What? Do you think He Chen wants to kill the master? Xiahou Dun, who understood it, said angrily.
"Yuan Rangxiu wants to speak up." Cao said in a scolding voice.
"It's just that my subordinates don't understand that the master and He Chen have no complaints, and recently they have no hatred. Why did he want to kill the master?" Xia Houyuan also pulled Laxia Hou Dun, signaled him to be a little calm, and then said with a confused face.
Cao Qian frowned and searched for bones and bones for a long time. Finally, he doubted, "Is it possible that this man is angry with the general because of what happened?"
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun came to join after Cao Yan raised his army. It was not clear about his previous affairs in Kyoto, so it was not easy to answer. The more Cao Hen thought about it, the more likely it was. He trembled and said, "Does this person know that I was deliberately sick and lying in bed? Otherwise, how could he kill for no reason? Although poor Cao Shen was a generation of heroes, he never thought that He Chen was a traveler and was shocked to be killed.
"In this case, the lord made a decision early." Xia Houyuan said in a low voice.
Cao Xiu's eyes were shining, but his face was very calm and calm. It was difficult for outsiders to see what he was thinking. He stamped back and forth for a while. Cao Xiu said calmly, "Let's go back to Dazhai first. Maybe there is any misunderstanding in the middle."
The Xiahouyuan brothers didn't talk much, so they left with Cao.
