Chapter 145 A Very Different Way
Everyone stood quietly in the rain, and no one went to hide from the rain.
At this moment, his eyes were gathered on Wang Lei and Cao Cao.
Sun Jian looked at the two of them firmly without interfering. He felt that he had a good relationship with Wang Lei and Cao Cao, but compared to the friendship between Wang Lei and Cao Cao, there was a certain gap, unlike the two of them.
Sun Jian cannot interfere in the current situation.
Cao Cao reached out and wiped the rain on his face, ignored his image, and roared loudly: "I don't know what your situation is? I only know that you have talent. There are many disasters and difficulties in the country, and you need to stand up. The Han Dynasty is the world of the world. As a part of the world and a small number of people with the most capable people, you must shoulder your responsibilities and contribute to the country."
Wang Lei looked at the roaring Cao Cao and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No matter what, he could not agree to Cao Cao.
Wang Lei lets the rain on his face slide down his face, lets his hair stick to his forehead, and he said in a sincere voice: "Brother Meng De, Wang Lei is very honored to be valued by you. But I still said just now, I can't continue to challenge Dong. You came from the Cao family, and you, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, have served as the Grand Marshal. You, too, have assisted the emperor for four generations, and are an old minister in the court. The Cao family is also a major clan in the world. With the help of your family, you, Cao Cao, also became an official early, but I am different, I..."
Cao Cao interrupted, "Hmph, these are all excuses!"
Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and threw them out with a water-stained sleeve. Wang Lei sneered: "Excusation? I, Wang Lei, stepped on the ground with my head and stood on this land with my head held high. Do you need such a bad excuse?"
Cao Cao raised his head, looked stubborn, and said nothing while wet in the rain.
Sun Jian frowned and waved his hand, allowing all the soldiers under Cao Cao to retreat far away. At the same time, Sun Jian himself avoided him, leaving Wang Lei and Cao Cao to talk alone.
Cao Cao and Wang Lei are confidants, and they are even more like brothers. There must be a lot to say when arguing.
Therefore, Sun Jian gave the two of them a space.
Wang Lei looked at Sun Jian gratefully and continued: "You Cao Cao came from a family and had a good family. You even have the support of the Xiahou family behind you. If you don't calculate the connection between the Cao family and the Xiahou family, after a rough calculation, you already have two major families behind you. Even if you fail, they will still support you without fail."
"The family's huge human and financial resources allow you to continue and make you turn over in a short period of time."
"What's more, you are an official of the court, you have connections with many famous scholars in the world, and you also know countless princes in the world. It is easy to find an official position and become an official, and it is easy to gain a foothold in the world."
"You don't have the future of countless people on your shoulders. On the contrary, countless people use their shoulders to support you, giving you the capital to fight for your ideals and letting you fight for your ideas."
"But what about me? What do I have?"
A low roar, like a heart-pounding question, made Cao Cao's body tremble.
Wang Lei opened his eyes wide and said loudly: "I, Wang Lei, is a gangster from the East City, Ye County, Jizhou. Do you have a family? I have been an orphan since I was a child, so how could my family support me unconditionally? It's a joke. When you Cao Cao were wearing gorgeous clothes at home, I fought hard on the street for three hard-earned meals; when you were walking your dog and fighting cocks outside, I was still hungry and worried about not being able to find food to eat, so I had to tighten my stomach and relieve hunger. When you were studying in school, when you accepted your parents' teachings, I worked hard everywhere, hoping to survive."
Wang Lei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I'm not a good background, it doesn't matter. I use my own hands to create everything, and I will change all of this myself. You have the ideal to serve the country and have the energy to attack Dong Zhuo, but I don't object to it. But I have to fight for my life and work hard for the responsibilities I shoulder."
After a pause, Wang Lei continued: "Before May last year, I had been a little gangster in Dongcheng City. I was working hard all day long for my livelihood. Do you know what opportunity made me suddenly change my destiny?"
Cao Cao was shocked. For the first time, he felt that he seemed a little naive?
But he still insisted on his own opinion.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, wiped the rain from his face and asked, "What's the chance?"
Wang Lei snorted and said in a deep voice: "I killed someone at that time and was imprisoned in prison and was about to be beheaded. At this time, Zhang Rang sent his adopted son Zhang Cheng to Ye County to contact Han Fu, but Han Fu was unwilling to contact Zhang Rang, so he sent someone to assassinate him. I was the chosen person. If I kill someone, I can survive. If I don't kill someone, I can only be beheaded. I took over the task and went to kill Zhang Cheng and saved my life."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and his heart trembled even more.
I have no choice but to kill someone to survive!
Wang Lei glanced at Cao Cao and continued, "Kill Zhang Cheng, Han Fu promised to spare my life, but Han Fu gave another order to make me the magistrate of Wuji County, Zhongshan Kingdom."
"ah!!"
Cao Cao exclaimed, feeling incredible.
Isn’t it ridiculous for a gangster to serve as a county magistrate?
In an instant, he felt ashamed again.
With Wang Lei's ability, he is more than enough to serve as the county magistrate.
Wang Lei's eyes were solemn and serious, and he said, "Do you think it's a good thing to be the magistrate of Wuji County? Wrong! Wuji County is a place where black bandits are flooded, and only those who go there can die. Han Fu asked me to go there was deliberately to let me die in order to completely eliminate the purpose of intercepting Zhang Cheng. On the first day I arrived in Wuji County, I encountered the attack of Black bandits... Haha, unfortunately I survived. From a gangster to a county magistrate of Wuji County, then to the commander of Zhongshan State, and finally to the prime minister of Zhongshan, I have come to this day."
"I tried my best to get everything, did you let me sacrifice my money for my bullshit ideal?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Do you know how many lives I bear on my shoulders? Do you know how many hopes I bear on my shoulders for the future? My path is only about walking step by step, and you cannot tolerate willfulness. You can violate Han Fu's orders, and once I violate Han Fu's orders, I will lose the position of Zhongshan and lose all the foundation."
Wang Lei clasped his fists and bowed and said, "Brother Meng De, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I'm really powerless and can't give up. If you really want to blame me, I'm willing to bear it calmly."
He bowed to the ground, stood up, turned around and left.
Cao Cao looked at Wang Lei's departure back, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.
The rain is blurred with eyes!
The figure in front gradually became hazy. Cao Cao looked at the figure gradually fading away, and finally sighed. After hearing Wang Lei's words, he could understand Wang Lei's thoughts of withdrawing.
On the way, people cannot help themselves.
