Chapter 26 I would rather teach me to betray the world
Cao Cao left in a hurry. He didn't ride a horse or a carriage, and he didn't bring much belongings. He only put the Chen Tang Sword and the Yitian Sword into the sword box, wrapped them with a thin black cloth and put them on his back. He put on a black outfit.
, with his head wrapped in a black scarf and a three-foot knife at his waist, dressed as a regular ranger, he took Yin with him and hurried to the Middle East Gate early in the morning.
There was a layer of mist in Luoyang in the early morning. Due to the heavy rain not long ago, Luoyang was very humid. When Cao Cao arrived at the city gate, there was a thin layer of dew on the wall bricks, and even the ground was wet.
It was wet. The guard at the Middle East Gate had not yet changed his shift. He was very tired after standing all night. He checked the ultimatum hastily, then looked at the Yin family behind Cao Cao who was bowing his head silently. He said with a smile: "Brother, I just came back at this time.
Don’t you think it’s too late to raise a son from your hometown?” Cao Cao gave him a small string of five baht and said in a flattering manner: “In a prosperous place like Luoyang, it’s hard for rural people to live there for a long time.”
The city guards didn't notice anything was wrong, so they accepted the bribe and let the two of them out of the city. Cao Cao walked two miles east and couldn't help but look back outside the horse market. Faintly in the mist, the dark Luoyang City looked even more majestic, as if
It naturally stands here and will never disappear. But he was born and grew up in Luoyang. He is from Qiao County and feels that Luoyang is his hometown. He knows how dirty this city is, and he also knows how dirty this city is.
Knowing how great this city is, he has left here several times and returned here several times, but at this time he suddenly had a premonition that when he returned to Luoyang, Luoyang and he would be completely different.
Can't help but make him sentimental.
Yin held his shirt and looked at him timidly. When he noticed that he turned around, she immediately lowered her eyebrows and looked at the ground. Cao Cao looked at her pretty face that resembled the queen mother, and then looked at her swollen belly, with a lot of emotions in his heart.
, secretly wondering whether to choose a place to kill her. But there was a hurdle in his heart, so he hesitated again and again, and finally took her with him, took out a layer of gauze and wrapped it around her, and said warmly: "Let's leave early.
, we won’t be able to survive until others come to us.”
Cao Cao bought a gray and black horse at the horse market and asked Yin to sit on it. She was pregnant and Cao Cao could not ride the horse, so he led the horse in front and found a path to leave Luoyang.
As the sun rises, the mist gradually dissipates, revealing the broad chest of the earth and the infinite distance. Noble families in Gyeonggi love to build forest gardens. Walking out of Luoyang, various forest gardens alternate with each other, stretching for nearly a hundred miles. As Cao Cao walked on the road, he could see dry ponds everywhere.
Deep stream, Dapi stone pavilion, fences and strange trees. Due to the rain, the sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed later than in previous years. In this late autumn, the vast Guilin is one of the few green scenery, dotted with wadding.
Like little bits of osmanthus, the aroma mixed with the rain vapor, and Cao Cao could lightly smell the dense osmanthus fragrance all the way.
But he was still in a depressed mood. Cao Cao reflected on this year's court dealings and had only one emotion in his heart: The flies are in the same camp as the dogs. Dong Zhuo thought that by reusing the clear stream, he could refresh the government, but the clear stream criticized the turbid stream, which was just a denial of power. The turbid stream only wanted money.
What Qingliu wanted was his wealth and life. He didn't even expect that these people, with their own selfish interests and no regard for the country, actually planned a murder together with the party. He thought he was smart, but he didn't see through this. It wasn't that he didn't think about it.
How did they escape from Luoyang, but now they are so embarrassed that they have to bear the penalty and flee in a hurry. The country is full of such a group of people, how can the Han Dynasty recover?
With such a gloomy mood, he passed by Yuexianghong, took the stone bridge to cross Yangqu, walked from dawn to dusk, and walked a total of more than forty miles in a whole day. He arrived at Yanshi at dusk. Because he was afraid of being wanted, Cao Cao
He did not dare to go to an ordinary inn or pavilion to complain, but he was worried about robbers and robbers when sleeping outdoors. After thinking about it, he decided to stay with his family and friends. The Cao family has been working in Henan for three generations, and there are seven or eight in Yanshi.
Cao Cao considered this family friend again and again, and finally turned to Lu Boshe.
Lu Boshe's family lived outside the city of Yanshi. He went south for half an hour and saw a flat garden and a lake. Under the moonlight, the golden waves reflected the outline of the courtyard. There was no scent of osmanthus on the left and right sides of the courtyard, but the rich fragrance of oranges. That's it.
Even in the dark night, you can still see the fiery red fruits in the orange groves.
Cao Cao saw a stone tablet in front of the orange grove, with three big characters "Jing Lao Li" written on it, and a line of small seal characters written next to the big characters. Cao Cao looked at the small characters carefully and read: "Old man Lu is extravagantly virtuous and noble. All the people of the Lu family are respectful and amiable. Li
The people in the neighborhood are all in love with them, so the name was changed to benefit the upper lane and to respect the elders." He couldn't help but smile after reading it, remembering that eleven years ago he was implicated by Song Qi and had to return to his hometown to avoid trouble, and he also settled here.
In my impression, everyone is kind and lovely. Among them, Lu Boxe's youngest son is only five years old, and he still pesters me for candy. He has been busy with official duties in the past few years and has had little contact. I don't know if they are doing well.
He led the horse to the door of the mansion, helped Mrs. Yin off the horse, knocked on the door again, and repeated it three times. Only then did he see the door open. An old man rubbed his eyes and looked in front of the door. He did not recognize Cao Cao for a while, only looking at him.
Dressed as a knight-errant, there was a pregnant woman behind him. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you two going to stay at my house for the night? If so, I can find a side room for my brother after I inform the adults at home."
But Cao Cao recognized him, called his name and said: "Zifu, it's me! Cao Cao and Cao Mengde!" The old man's eyes widened and he looked Cao Cao up and down for a long time. Suddenly he slapped his forehead hard twice and hurriedly removed the door bolt and left.
Ying said: "My eyes are so dim that I can't even recognize Mr. Cao. I hope Mr. Cao will forgive me."
After that, he brought Cao Cao and Cao Cao into the hall. In the hall, two men were playing chess. A man was reading a book at the table. There was a young man in the corner who was copying copybooks with his head down. The young man saw Cao Cao coming in first and looked happy.
He got up, put down his pen first and stood up to say hello: "Why does Mr. Cao have time to come here today?"
Cao Cao also got to know the young man. He was Lu Chong, the youngest son of Lu Boshe, who was very close to Cao Cao. Cao Cao nodded to him, called him a small name and said with a smile: "A Tong is already so old, I can't help but feel that it is hard to keep time."
He rubbed Lu Chong's hair and asked Zhu Lu's disciples to greet him.
Lu Boshe was summoned by the county government for something at this time, and he only had his direct descendants at home. However, he often talked about Cao Cao's excellence at home, and the Lu family's children also admired Cao Cao's character of impartial law enforcement, so the scene was very harmonious. After chatting for a while, they
Cao Cao invited Cao Cao to have a banquet with him in the evening. Cao Cao declined, saying that he had official business to do tomorrow and was in a hurry, so he had better go to bed early. Only then did the Lu family's children notice the presence of the Yin family. Cao Cao also explained that this was Xin Na's concubine, and he was on his way.
After a long time, they were tired. Lu Ju, the second son of the Lu family, had no choice but to personally lead the two of them to arrange the guest rooms.
When Lu Ju came back, he looked suspicious and worriedly said to the brothers in the hall: "Cao Jun is really strange today. He claims to have important things to do, but he is dressed as a knight and walking in a hurry, but there is only a pregnant concubine by his side.
I don’t even have a single follower. Is this how the Cao family behaves? I don’t think Mr. Cao has told us the truth!”
The youngest son Lu Chong nodded in agreement, but his words were full of defense for Cao Cao. He said: "With this behavior, I think Mr. Cao may have provoked the powerful officials in the court like last time, and had to avoid trouble in a hurry! Now that Dong Zhuo has usurped power,
When Yuan and Yuan fled, he was originally a member of Yuan Shao's party, so why should it be strange to avoid disaster?"
The third son, Lu Hui, retorted: "I see that Dong Taiwei's governance, apart from the inappropriateness of abolishing the establishment, also looks at his selection of talents, forgiving Yuan Shao, and appointing Chen Chong, which can be regarded as unselfish. Cao Jun is said to be Taiwei."
How can it offend the powerful if you use it so highly? There may be other reasons!"
The fourth son, Lu Lin, said: "It is an ordinary thing for nobles in the court to be promoted and deposed at one time. What is there to make a fuss about? We live in the countryside and have no intention of having an official career, so why bother about this. Just
There is something wrong, and the county prince has been friends with my family for many years, so he won’t make it difficult.”
After hearing this, everyone went about their business. When the eldest son, Lu Dan, came home from a visit to his friends, he heard that Cao Cao was staying at home and learned the opinions of all the Kunzhongs from Cang Tou. He couldn't help but frown and get angry.
He called them together again and scolded them: "It is human nature for Mr. Cao to avoid trouble and refuse to say anything. Why should there be any need to blame him? He is willing to stay at my house at this time because he trusts my family's integrity and integrity.
He regards us as relatives, how can we treat him hastily because he refuses?"
After that, Lu Dan invited Cang Tou to go to the backyard of his house to pick wild pigs, and asked his brothers to pick out clothes, money, and find a good horse. He planned to let his family prepare meals for Cao Cao at night so that he could entertain Cao Cao in the morning and give him a good meal.
After a meal, he gave him a gift of a good horse and sent him on a long journey. After Lu Dan gave his instructions, he thought about it for a while and felt that he had done it to perfection, so he went to see how the Cangtou people were doing.
There are wild pigs raised in Lu Garden, but these wild pigs are captured when they are young and raised at home. Although they are not wild, they are still fast and difficult to catch. Every time Cang Tou catches them, it takes a lot of effort. Therefore.
Lu Dan personally supervised the formation, and after discussing the strategy, he asked three people to take hemp ropes, and they confronted Ye Hu several times. Finally, they seized an opportunity. The three of them hugged Ye Hu's head, neck, legs and feet, and Lu Dan took it himself.
The sharp knife was inserted into his neck, the wild pig cried out, and finally died.
After a basin of pig blood was put in, the old men fell to the ground exhausted. Lu Dan himself breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a sharp knife and threw it in the basin. He went to get a sweat towel to wipe his sweaty face. Suddenly, he smelled
The sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor. He looked up and saw Cao Cao with a murderous look on his face, holding a knife in one hand and a sharp sword in the other. Lu Dan looked stunned. Before he could say hello, Cao Cao struck Lu Dan in the middle of the eyebrow with a sword.
, even the brow bone was chopped down, the flesh, blood and brains burst out and flew out, revealing the white bones, and he died immediately.
The three Cangtou didn't know why. Seeing such a bloody scene, they couldn't help shouting: "Killing! Killing!" Cao Cao immediately came over with a sword. The Cangtou wanted to get up and run for their lives, but they exhausted all their strength in killing the pig.
As soon as they were able to run, they stood up and were killed by Cao Cao one by one with his sword. They all became desperate ghosts in a daze.
Four children of the Lu family came from the wing after hearing the sound. When they met Cao Cao's evil eyes, the hairs on their bodies stood up. They immediately ran away. Cao Cao, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked up the handle of the sharp knife in the basin and threw it at Lu Hui.
, hit Lu Hui right in the heart. After killing another person, Cao Cao continued to chase Lu Lin and Lu Ju. The two of them were blocked by Cao Cao in a corner. They had nowhere to escape. They could only shout to be brave and fight for their lives, but Cao Cao had a sword in his hand.
After being in the military for a long time, how could the two of them fight for a round? Cao Cao first kicked Lu Ju's ankle, then took advantage of the situation and cut off Lu Lin's back with a sword, and finally hit Lu Ju's throat with a sword, and both of them died instantly.
.
The only living people present were Lu Chong and Cao Cao. Lu Chong had a chance to escape, but he saw that all his brothers were killed by Cao Cao like chickens. His legs were so weak and his whole body was shaking. He couldn't even take a step.
Unable to move, he could only watch as Cao Cao walked over, holding the knife soaked in the blood of his relatives in his hand. He fell to the ground in fright, and finally cried out: "What wrong did my family do to Mr. Cao? Cao Cao
Why do you want to kill my whole family?"
Cao Cao was stunned. He looked at the young man crying and howling on the ground. The murderous look on his face gradually dissipated, but his tone was still cold. He said, "You plotted against me first. Why can't I strike first?" Lu Dan
Unable to understand, he cried and shouted: "We are just trying to entertain Mr. Cao! Why did Mr. Cao say this!?"
Cao Cao looked around and suddenly understood. He couldn't believe it. He looked at his hands full of blood. He had nothing to say. He returned to the basin and looked at his face in the water. He could hardly recognize this ferocious face.
His face was pale. He turned back to look at Lu Chong. In the quiet and ugly world, there was only the cry of the young man. His hands were empty and powerless. Cao Cao could not say a word, and Cao Cao could not say anything more.
He walked up to Lu Chong and tried his best to smile at the young man. The young man was stunned and stopped crying. Cao Cao sighed softly and said: "I would rather teach me to bring down the world." He swung the Chentang Sword again and chopped off the young man's head.
, he shed tears, he held the boy's head in his arms, cried like a child, and wailed under the moonlight. He finally felt his fate, and finally choked out the last few words: "Retire from teaching.
Everyone in the world has failed me!"
Everyone's bodies were thrown into the pool. Cao Cao washed away the blood with hot water, put on the clothes prepared by the Lu family for him, took the new good horse, and took Yin away from the forest garden. Before he left,
Throwing down a torch in front of him, when he walked more than ten miles, raging black smoke rose under the clear blue sky, just like Luoyang a month ago.
At this time, a ranger happened to be passing by. Cao Cao stopped him and gave him the Chen Tang Sword. The ranger was happy and surprised, and asked Cao Cao why. Cao Cao said calmly: "The sword is not suitable for the owner, so it is better to throw it away."
