Cao Cao escaped from Chen Gong and did not dare to take the main road again. The county magistrate just now had obviously recognized him, but he didn't know why he let him go, and he also said some inexplicable words, which made Cao Cao
So surprised!
Cao Cao ran all the way, like a frightened bird, but his thoughts were still on the words of the county magistrate, "Someone asked me to give Cao Cao a message to take advantage of the situation!" Who is going to give him the message, and who knows who he is?
He can walk to Zhongmu County, and that sentence seems simple and makes people have no clue, but it seems that there are some ways, but he can't see the key to move forward! Cao Cao sighed and looked back at the vague Zhongmu County
The county's tall city walls made it obvious that the county magistrate knew everything, but Cao Cao did not dare to gamble. If he was caught after entering, it would be very embarrassing if others did not let him go.
Although Cao Cao was still puzzled by the words of the county magistrate, he still strode forward. He did not dare to take the official road along the way, and only took the narrow path to Chenggao. When He Jin was killed that day, he had secretly left
There is a way out. As long as you get to Chenggao, get horses from Chenggao and go directly to Chenliu, you will be safe!
Cao Cao walked for three days. Although the Chenggao County Magistrate was his old friend, in these extraordinary times, it was difficult to guarantee that the county magistrate would be reliable. Therefore, Cao Cao did not enter the county seat, but walked to a manor outside Chenggao County.
After walking for more than two hours, it was getting dark. He came to the door of a manor. The plaque on the door said "Lujiazhuang" in large gilt characters. It was said to be Lujiazhuang, but in fact it was the only one here.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a child stared at him. Cao Cao quickly took out a jade pendant from his arms and said: "Give it to your master, saying that the son of an old friend is here to visit!"
"The boy quickly took the jade pendant, glanced at Cao Cao, and quickly went in to report.
Not long after, I saw an old man in his fifties and a young man walking forward quickly. The young man looked very similar to the old man. They must be father and son. When Cao Cao saw the old man, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.
: "Nephew Cao Cao has met his uncle!" The person who came was the sworn brother of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song. His name was Lu Boshe. He was also an official in the court. Because he was corrupt in office, his enemies seized the opportunity and complained to the court.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was furious. It was originally a capital crime, but Cao Song offered him money to forgive him. In the end, he was only dismissed from his official position and would never be hired. Therefore, Lu Boshe was very grateful to Cao Song!
Seeing that Cao Cao was in such a state of desolation, he took another look and saw that there was no one behind him. He quickly pulled Cao Cao into the courtyard, asked his son to close the door, and said: "Meng De, you scared me to death. A notice has been posted about your matter."
, there are rewards for you everywhere. Now your father has taken his family to Zhuangzi in Chenliu. He asked you to go there quickly after you arrive. It seems that there is something to explain to you!" Upon hearing this, Cao Cao hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "
In this case, I have to leave quickly and go to Chenliu!" After Cao Cao was about to leave, Lu Boshe grabbed Cao Cao and said, "This is not so urgent. Look at you, you must not be able to bear it.
Shao Zui, let's do this. You take a bath here first, change your clothes, and rest for the night. I'll prepare the horses for you, and I'll prepare some transportation and dry food for you to use on the road!" Cao Cao knew it when he heard this.
I had suffered a lot during this period. I had always been frightened and had not had a good rest, so I did not refuse and went to take a bath and rest under the leadership of Lu Boshe's son!
After taking a bath, Cao Cao changed into clean clothes. These clothes belonged to Lu Boshe's son. Although they were not very suitable for him, they were still much better than his original rags. As soon as he walked into the courtyard,
Lu Boshe's son was already waiting for him, "Brother, my father has gone out to do some business. He will be back soon. You have a rest first, and I will call you when the food is ready!" Cao Cao nodded.
, he followed Lu Boxe's son to the guest room. As soon as Lu Boxe's son left, Cao Cao lay on the couch and remembered the words of the county magistrate a few days ago. The county magistrate said so much, but only two words, that is
Take advantage of the situation!
Cao Cao was on the run these days and often thought about these two words, but he still couldn't figure out what it meant. Now he still doesn't understand. He sat up slowly and saw some bamboo slips in the room.
, presumably the owner used it to kill time when his guests were bored, so he got out of bed, walked to a table, picked up a bamboo slip on the table, and looked at it. This bamboo slip was written by Zuo Qiuming in the Spring and Autumn Period.
There was only one volume of "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period". It must have been too late to clean up after the guests left. Cao Cao took a look and found that this bamboo slip was the chapter about the false Taoist attack on Guo. Cao Cao had been familiar with this "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" since he was a child.
, when he saw the letter, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally understood what taking advantage of the situation meant. He was overjoyed, but after his overjoyment, he became even more interested in the county magistrate, and even more interested in the person who asked him to deliver the message.
A kind of unfathomable fear. Knowing that he walked into Zhongmou County is already an extraordinary person. This shows that this person knows everything about himself. Anyone who can say this is a monster. Cao Cao has a feeling of being
The feeling of holding it in your hand!
Cao Cao's heart was no longer as happy as before, but Cao Cao was not the kind of person to shrink back. Since someone has pointed out the way for him, and since he can't see anything wrong at the moment, let's take a look first.
, not to mention that in Cao Cao's view, all conspiracies are nonsense in the face of absolute strength!
He stopped thinking about these things, relaxed in his heart, and slowly felt tiredness filling his whole body. He fell on the bed and fell asleep. Not long after falling asleep, Cao Cao suddenly fell into a dream.
He woke up, sat up, and looked around. The dim light reminded him that he was at Lu Boshe's home. He shook his head and wiped the cold sweat on his face with his sleeves. Thinking of the dream just now, he
Full of doubts in his heart, he went straight to the window, opened it, and looked at the stars in the sky. At this time, there were faint sounds of "clang" and "clang". Cao Cao thought of the dream he had just had, and the doubts in his heart became even more intense.
So, he quickly put on his clothes, quietly opened the door, and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard, Cao Cao's face changed drastically, because he heard the sound of sharpening a knife, and he also heard the most terrifying thing: "Da Lang, why not
Tie him up first and then kill him, lest you can't catch him later!" This was a female voice, "It's okay, I just checked and he was sleeping soundly, as long as I quietly step forward and chop him with a knife,
Even if you measure him, he won't be able to escape!" When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious and couldn't bear it anymore. He walked directly to the front yard. The man was Lu Boshe's son. When he saw Cao Cao coming out with a murderous look on his face, he was surprised and was about to prepare.
Asking Cao Cao what happened, Cao Cao stepped forward and suddenly took out the man's knife and slashed the man's body. The man looked at Cao Cao in surprise and fell to the ground!
