Chapter 105, Chen Gong's Wonderful Plan

Cao Cao took a sip of wine and said coldly, "Can you cry to death like this?" It's really ridiculous."

Zuzuo said, "What my brother said is very true, so what about you in order not to wake up these people?"

Cao Cao listened to Zu Zhao's words, nodded, patted his palm and laughed, and said, "So many people are crying here. From the morning to the darkness, and from the dawn, can Dong Zhuo still cry to death?"

Everyone saw that it was Cao Cao, a cavalry lieutenant. Wang Yun was very angry when he saw Cao Cao laughing and asked, "Your family has been eating the salaries of the Han Dynasty for generations. Now you have been manipulated, but you don't cry but laugh?"

Cao Cao said, "I'm not laughing at anything else, but laughing at so many of you, but no one can think of a clever plan to kill Dong Zhuo. Although I, Cao Cao, am willing to assassinate Dong Zhuo."

When Zu Zhao heard the words, he immediately shouted, "What Brother Meng De said is exactly my heart. I also want to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but this Dong Zhu always wears soft hedgehog armor, so many people failed to assassinate before. Now Brother Meng De bent down to Dong Zhuo to find an opportunity to kill him. But it's really not easy to assassinate him, unless Lord Wang can give up one of your treasures.

"Rei, there is anything I can do to help, but it doesn't matter. It's my life. As long as I can get rid of Dong Zhuo, I'm naturally willing." Wang Yun said.

Zu Zhao said, "Your Excellency, I heard that there is a treasure in your family, called the Seven Star Knife, which can blow hair and cut iron like mud. If you are willing to do it, you will naturally not be afraid of his Dong Zhuo's soft sword armor."

Wang Yun was shocked and said, "There is indeed such a treasure knife in my house, but I don't know how the martyrs know."

Zu Zhao smiled and said, "This knife was made by Pu Yuan. He is now in Liaodong, so he knows."

Wang Yun nodded, took the seven-star knife and handed it to Cao Cao, hoping that he could disguise the matter. After drinking for a long time, Cong Cao and Zu Zhao left. When Zu Zhao left, he quietly handed a letter to Wang Yun, saying that if their assassination was successful, they would burn the letter and not read it. If they fail to assassinate, they will open the letter and continue to carry out the plan to kill Dong Zhuo as long as he wants.

In Zu Zhao's heart, what he said was to let Wang Yun's adopted daughter Diao Chan to divorce Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo. The specific matters are also told by the believers. Dong Zhuo took the letter given to him by Zu Zhao and sighed quietly, "I hope I don't have to open this letter again."

Zhu and Cao Cao Cao planned at home for a while. The two discussed. The next day, Cao Cao went in to assassinate Dong Zhuo, while Zu Zhao took his horses outside to meet him. Whether it worked or not, they could retreat wholeheartedly. However, Zu Zhao repeatedly explained that he must be careful of Lv Bu. After entering, he must find an excuse to support Lv Bu, otherwise it would be difficult to start. Cao Cao also knew this and said that he would naturally be careful.

The next day, Cao Cao hid a seven-star knife and arrived at Dong Zhuo's house, while Zu Zhao dressed as Cao's driver waited outside the door. After Cao Cao went in, Zu Zhao walked back and forth on the ground. His heart was very complicated and he hoped that Cao would succeed. However, if Cao Cao failed, he would meet Chen Gong next, and Chen Gong would naturally eventually follow him. He wanted to go directly to Chen Gong, but that guy was a little tough. He was afraid that if he went directly, it would be difficult for him to move him to return to himself and let him see Cao Cao's ambition of "I'd rather teach me to bear the world, don't ask the world to betray me". Maybe he will follow him, and he will not fall to Lv Bu in the end.

Zu Zhao waited outside for a long time. Sure enough, when he saw Cao Cao running out in a panic, Zu Zhao hurriedly led him immediately and asked how he was doing. Cao Cao wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Failed. I opened Lv Bu and saw Dong Zhuo turn his back to me. Just as he was about to do it, he saw me in the mirror and turned around and asked me what I was going to do. I could only lie that it was a knife, so I escaped. Looking at their look, I also know that I was assassinated and will definitely chase them out. We'd better escape quickly.

Zu Zhao sighed in his heart. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo still couldn't die, so Diao Chan would still suffer. However, without this experience, it is estimated that Diao Chan would not be one of the four beautiful women in ancient China. Brother, get on the horse quickly. I heard someone shouting. Zu Zhao said hurriedly.

Cao Cao immediately got on horseback. The two were afraid of the horse and quickly escaped from Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu knew that Cao was looking wrong and knew that he was coming to assassinate him. They immediately took people to chase him out. However, Cao Cao and Zu Zhao had escaped and could not catch up with him, so they ordered them to carry out documents, draw shadows and graphics, and capture Cao Cao: capture the donor, reward thousands of money, and seal up the Marquis of thousands of households; the harborers are guilty of the same crime.

Zu Showa and Cao Cao have been escaping from Luoyang and flying to Qiao County. When they passed through Zhongmu County, Zu Zhao said, "Brother Meng De, I think Dong Zhuo's list of arresting us has been sent here. We must be careful."

Cao Cao said, "People in this place may not know us, just pass directly." Unexpectedly, before Cao Cao finished speaking, he saw a team of officers and soldiers surrounded him. Before they could react, they were taken by the soldiers to see the county magistrate.

Cao Cao was really cunning. After seeing the county magistrate, he said that he was a businessman, but he passed by here and was not a criminal. The county magistrate smiled, took out the portrait and said, "Isn't that you?"

"People are similar and things are the same. How can you think this is me?" Cao Cao said.

The county magistrate smiled and then said coldly, "I saw you when I was looking for office in Luoyang. I know you are Cao Mengde, and you still lie." After saying that, he said to Zu Zhao, "You are not on the wanted notice, but now you are with him. Who are you? Did they also assassinate the prime minister together?"

Zu Zhao laughed and said, "If I don't change my name or change my surname, my surname is Zu Zhao, and my name is Liechen. The old thief caused trouble and harmed the world. Everyone will be killed. We can't kill him today, and someone will kill him in the future. Now that you have arrested us, you have made great achievements. You have no need to add officials and have no worries about food and clothing.

The county magistrate laughed and said, "Okay, have the courage. Press it down and escort it to the capital early tomorrow morning for reward. The government officials were ordered to press Cao Cao and Zu Zhao into their cells. After arriving at the cell, Cao Cao said to Zu Zhao melancholy, "Brother, why did you tell us our true identity? Now it seems that we are going to die for the country."

Zu Zhao said, "Brother Meng De, don't worry. I think the county magistrate is a loyal person and will definitely not escort us to the capital. I bet with you that he will take us out at night and let us go.

Cao Cao said in disbelief, "Say more that you have the ability to predict uncertainly. I hope it will be the most accurate this time, or we will die." Zu Zhao laughed, but I don't know if it is possible.

In the middle of the night, several people escorted Cao Cao and Zu Zhao out to see the county magistrate. The county magistrate saw them and said, "I have heard of your ancestors and martyrs, who are very loyal. This word was given to you by Lord Lu Zhi. I can understand why you assassinate Prime Minister Dong. But you, Cao Mengde, I heard that Prime Minister Dong treats you well. Why did you kill him ungrately?

Cao Cao listened, but he was not afraid at this moment and said harshly: Yan Que Anzhi Honghu's ambition! Since you hold me, you can ask for a reward. Why do you have to ask more!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, the county magistrate couldn't help but look at Zu Zhao and look at him with a smile, as if he was not afraid. The county magistrate looked at the two of them silently for a while, and finally retreated and said to Cong Cao and Zu Zhao, "Don't underestimate me. I'm not that kind of ordinary county magistrate. I also hope to serve the country, but I haven't met the Lord.

Zu Zhao said, "Brother Meng De bent down to serve Dong Zhuo and wanted to kill him. It's a pity that he failed now. Now that you have caught us, we don't have any complaints. I hope you can provide some benefits for the people after you are promoted.

The county magistrate said, "I heard that you are very loyal and caring for the people. Now you have failed to kill the cave thieves, but your ambition is commendable. Where are you going?"

Zu Zhao said, "I plan to return to Liaodong and issue an edict to summon the princes of the world to kill Dong Zhuo."

The county magistrate listened and hurriedly untied Zu Zhao and Cao Cao, asked them to sit down and praise them again. Then he said that he was Chen Gong, a famous public platform, and his parents and wives were all in Liaodong and were willing to follow them to plan things together. Zu Zhao's heart lit up when he heard this. It turned out that his family was in Liaodong County. If he had known, he would have come to him directly to avoid so many things.

Zu Zhao, Cao Cao and his party ran all the way to Chenggao. At that time, it was already late. Zu Zhao said, "It's getting dark now. We have to find a place to live and wait until tomorrow."

Cao Cao listened to Zu Zhao's words and said with a smile, " Not far ahead is a sworn brother of my father. His name is Lv Boshi. My father has a good relationship with him. I think although I was hunted down by Dong Zhuo today, he will not report me."

Chen Gong heard the words and said, "This is very good, so let's go to his house for a night."

The three went all the way to the door of Lu Boshe's house and saw the lights in it, and there was a sound of talk. They knew that his family had not fallen asleep yet. Cao Cao knocked on the wooden door in the courtyard. After a while, a young man came out of it. He opened the door and asked, "Who are they?" What's the matter with knocking on my door?"

Cao Cao said, "Is the owner of this family Lu Bushi?"

The young boy said, "It's my father. I don't know who you are?"

Cao said, "My father and your father are sworn brothers. Naturally, I am your uncle's little nephew. I passed by here tonight, and there was nowhere else to go. I came to ask for a night. I don't know if it is feasible?"

The young man knew that it was the son of his father's old friend's visit and hurriedly accessed by three people. Seeing the room, I saw more than a dozen people sitting or standing on all sides, one of whom was white-haired, clear-looking and very divine. When he looked up and saw Cao Cao, his face could not hide his surprise.

Cao Cao came forward and bowed and said, "My little nephew came to disturb my uncle late at night. He was really abrupt and didn't bring any gifts. Please forgive me."

Lv Bucha got up and held Cao Cao's hand and said, "It turned out that my little nephew came. I heard that Dong Zhuo arrested you everywhere. Now your father has escaped to Chen Liu. You are a good official in the court. How can you make it like this? Why did you come here? As he spoke, he asked Cao Cao, Zu Zhao and Chen Gong to sit down.

Cao Cao put his own actions under the account, and He Ru assassinated Dong Zhuweicheng with Zu Zhao. He fled all the way and met Chen Gong and other things. Finally, he looked at Chen Gong gratefully and said, "If it hadn't been for the righteousness of the public Taiwan, I and Zu Liechen virtuous brother would have been killed."

Lv Boshi listened to Cao Cao's words and was also very grateful to Chen Gong. He said, "If the little nephew hadn't had to help him, the Cao family would have destroyed the family. Please sit down and stay here tonight. There is no problem. After saying that, he said to Zu Zhao, "I have heard that the martyrs in Liaodong are loyal and brave for a long time. Now I see that they are really extraordinary. Sure enough, they are courageous people. It's really glorious that you can come to the house. Please sit down first, and I will send someone to cook some food immediately."

"There is Uncle Lao." Zu Zhao got up politely and saluted. Cao Cao called Lv Boshi his uncle, and naturally he followed Cao. Lv Boshe asked Zu Zhao and the others to sit down for a while, and he took his family into the back room.

The three sat there and had been doing it for a long time before seeing Lv Boshi come out. He took a big gourd in his hand and said to Cao Cao, "There is no wine at home. Little nephew, please sit at ease. I'll come back with some wine and drink it together."

Zu Zhao said, "I am extremely guilty for disturbing my uncle in the middle of the night. My uncle is extremely grateful to allow us to stay for a night. How can he let my uncle go far away to drink?"

Lu Boshe smiled and said, "You are welcome to sit still. Today, you came to give up, and I was very happy. How could I accompany you without wine? I'm going now. You can rest again." With that, he went out with the gourd, stepped on the donkey, and hurried away.

Seeing Lu Boshi leave, Zu Zhao said to Cao Cao, "Your uncle is really hospitable."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "My father and he are good friends. Now that I am in trouble again, he has some friendship."

Several people talked about some topics one by one. They saw that the Lu family also had access from time to time, but they passed by in a hurry and did not greet them or sit down to talk to them. After waiting for a long time, Cao gradually couldn't help sitting down and said worriedly, "My uncle has been there for so long, and the family doesn't talk to us. He looks very strange. Shouldn't he be afraid of Dong Zhuo and report to the official?"

Chen Gong said, "If this is the case, I won't wait any longer and leave quickly."

Zu Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I think Uncle Lu is very enthusiastic about us and doesn't seem to betray us. I'm afraid the road to Xicun is not close, so it has been delayed for some time."

Zu Zhao didn't finish his words, and he heard the sound of sharpening the knife inside. Cao Cao was shocked, drew his sword in his hand, and got up and said, "It's really suspicious. Let's go and listen to what the people inside are doing."

Chen Gong nodded and drew his sword in his hand to follow Cao in. Zu Zhao hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't do it randomly until you see it clearly."

Before Zu Zhao finished speaking, Cao Cao had rushed into it. Zu Zhao secretly shouted in his heart. Before robbing Chen Gong, he followed Cong Cao. As soon as he entered the door, he heard someone whispering behind the grass hall. After listening carefully, a man said again, "Bry him up and kill him."

When Cao heard the words, his face changed greatly and said, "There is nothing to hesitate now. Lv Boxi came in here for a long time. He must have discussed how to kill us, and how he went to the official with the words of drinking. We kindly trusted him, but he wanted to betray us. It's really hateful. I will kill them. " With that, he rushed in.

Zu Zhao screamed in his heart and hurried forward to stop Cao Cao, but he was still a step late. A man came out and was stabbed to death by Cao Cao's sword. A woman behind him followed him. Cao Cao waved his sword to stab him. Zu Zhao hurriedly pulled him from behind and said, "Brother Meng De, the matter is not clear. Don't kill people indiscriminately."

Cao Cao said angrily, "Brother, they are going to kill us. How good people are you in the world? Kill them all with me so that you can retreat as soon as possible."

When the two quarreled, the lady was so scared that she turned pale when she saw the man being killed and shouted. Many people immediately rushed out behind the grass hall, holding ropes and kitchen knives in their hands. When they saw Cao Cao killing people, they all looked at them in horror.

Cao Cao was pulled by Zu Zhao and had to get out. He looked at Chen Gong and said, "Public Taiwan, why don't you kill them? Do you want to be killed by them?"

"Public Taiwan is not allowed. They don't necessarily want to kill us. Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately and harm good people." Zu Zhao said loudly.

Chen Gong took a sword in his hand and took a step forward. When he saw the frightened look of the woman and other men and women, he couldn't bear to do it. Hearing a strange sound behind him, he flashed in and took a look. It turned out that there was a pig tied inside and secretly shouted, "Bever, Cao Mengde really killed the wrong person. Zu Liechen said that they were going to kill pigs. Treat us." Immediately dodged and said, "Meng De, stop. They are going to kill pigs, not me."

When Cao heard this, he was also stunned and asked in disbelief, "What? Are they going to kill pigs?

"Exactly, we are really wrong and good people." Chen Gong said with regret.

Cao Cao listened and his face changed. Then he slowly put down the sword in his hand and looked at others with guilt. Zu Zhao saw that Cao Cao put down the sword in his hand and let him go. Seeing this, the woman hurried up to help the murdered man. Seeing that he was dead, she was in great pain. At the same time, she scolded Cao Cao for being unjust and killing people indiscriminately like this. She also said that such righteous people should be arrested. It was blamed that Lv Boshe had no eyes and believed that they were loyal people.

After listening to the woman's words, Zu Zhao and Chen Gong were guilty and speechless. Cao Cao suddenly cut off the woman with a huge sword and killed her. Chen Gong was shocked and asked, "It's right to kill by mistake. Why do you want to kill again now?"

Cao Cao said, "He dares to abuse us, saying that we are like Dong Zhuo and other thieves, and it is difficult to calm our anger if we don't kill her. Now if you don't kill, just kill them all, so that they won't report to the officials. Saying that, he was going to kill the man and woman in front of him with his sword, which scared those people to retreat one after another, and some fell directly to the ground.

Seeing that Cao Cao was going to kill people again, Zu Zhao hurriedly pulled him and said, "You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. No, the thief said is right. What's the difference between us and Dong Zhuo? We'd better leave quickly. Chen Gong also agreed with Zu Zhao's remarks, pulled Cao Cao out of Lu Boshi's house, got on the mount and left quickly.

The three of them hurriedly. Less than two miles, they saw Lv Boshi carrying two pots of wine in front of him, carrying some vegetables in his hand, and riding a donkey back slowly. Seeing that Zu Zhao and others were about to leave, they asked puzzledly, "Why do your little nephew and the two envoys want to leave? I have asked my family to kill pigs to entertain you. Hurry up and go back with me, drink and eat meat, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow.

Cao Cao said, "We, guilty people, dare not stay more, for fear of implicating my uncle's family."

Lu Besh said, "Why did my little nephew say this? I have a lot of friendship with your father. How can I be afraid of this person? Let me go back quickly."

Cao Cao ignored it and just rode forward. Zu Zhao and Chen Gong also said a word to Lv Boshi and followed Cao Cao. Lv Boshi didn't know why they suddenly wanted to leave and kept persuading them to turn back. Cao Cao suddenly turned his horse's head, pulled out his sword, and shouted, "Who is coming?" Before Lu Boshi could react, he was cut down by Cao Cao's sword under the donkey.

When Zu Zhao and Chen Gong saw it, they were all shocked. They pulled their horses back and asked, "First, they killed one person by mistake, and then someone scolded you and killed one person in anger. Now he hasn't scolded you, but why did you kill him?"

Cao Cao said coldly, "When he returns home and finds that we have killed two of his family, he must hold a grudge. When the official comes after us, we will not escape. I saw that those people in their family were scared and were certainly at a loss and dared not report to the official, but Lu Buch is a stable person. Naturally, he remembered that he wanted to report to the official, so he must be killed.

Chen Gong sighed angrily, "It's really unrighteous to know that he won't kill him."

Cao Cao took a look at Chen Gong and said coldly, "I'd rather teach me to betray the world, and don't teach the world to betray me." After saying that, he rode away by himself. Chen Gong and Zu Zhao looked at each other and were speechless. They could only follow them forward.

In the middle of the night, they finally met an inn. They knocked on the door of the inn, asked for a room, fed the horse, and then went to sleep. Cao Cao slept comforted, but Zu Zhao had no intention to sleep peacefully. Thinking of Cao Cao's words and deeds, he sighed and walked around the courtyard.

"Why doesn't the public station sleep in the middle of the night?" Zu Zhao suddenly appeared in the back and asked.

Chen Gong turned around, sighed again and said, "I thought Cao Cao was a good man, so I abandoned the official to follow you. I didn't expect him to be such a wolf-hearted person. He is really blind."

Zuzu Zhao also sighed sadly and said, "I have known Meng De for a long time. It was also quite benevolent to see his words and deeds before. I didn't think such a thing would happen today. It's really a conscience."

Chen Gong said, "The general has saved many people from Lv's family. I have always asked the general that he is a person who cares for the people. I saw it today. It's true. I admire Chen Gong very much. The general is now an official in Liaodong. If you don't mind, I'm willing to follow the general to pursue a great career.

Zu Zhao was overjoyed and said, "It's my greatest honor to get help from the public Taiwan. Isn't it feasible if we leave Cao Cao now and go back to Liaodong together?

Chen Gong nodded and said, "How should Cao Mengde deal with it? Although such a wolf-hearted person has no morality, he has some ability. If he gains power in the future, he will definitely harm the world. Why don't he kill him?

Zu Zhao shook his head and said, "Public Taiwan abandoned officials with us for the sake of the country. If Cao Mengde is killed now, it is not a benevolent act. It's better to spare his life."

Chen Gong thought that Zu Zhao was really affectionate and righteous. He couldn't bear to assassinate Cao Cao quietly like this, and he admired him even more. So he listened to Cao Cao's words, followed Zu Zhao on the mount, left the inn overnight, and went straight to Liaodong. The two walked all night. It was not until noon the next day that they went to a town to eat something, rested for a while and continued to move forward. After several days in a row, they returned to Liaodong.
