Chapter 31 Chapter 4 Dong Zhuo's Solo Court Cao Cao Recruits Soldiers (6)

After a while, the patrol team escorted the night walker, and the county magistrate of Zhongmu had already got up and waited in the hall.The county magistrate of Zhongmu took a look and saw that it was Cao Cao who was pictured at the top of the most wanted list.The county magistrate immediately asked the yamen servant to take him down and put him under strict supervision.After the magistrate of Zhongmu County withdrew from the hall, the meritorious officer on duty came to kowtow.At this time, the county magistrate was hesitating about Cao Cao's affairs.He also wanted to escort Cao Cao to the capital to receive the reward, but because Dong Zhuo's reputation was too bad, everyone in the world scolded him. If he received Dong Zhuo's reward, he would be criticized by many people; If he finds out in the future, his wealth and life will be hard to protect.

After kowtowing to Cao Cao on duty, the county magistrate couldn't help sighing when he discussed Cao Cao's affairs.Gongcao said, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?" The county magistrate seemed very sensitive, and immediately urged him: "Tell me, I just want to hear your opinion." Gongcao said: "The current situation is becoming chaotic. Dong Zhuo ran rampant in Luoyang with the nature of a robber. The court was reversed, and the whole country was full of complaints. However, there is no one who dares to speak out in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty. There are brave, resourceful and courageous people like you." Cao Cao is really rare. In the future, he should be the one who saves the country and the nation, so Cao Cao must not be killed. Moreover, if a hero with such a high reputation as Cao Cao dies because of the county magistrate, he will definitely be infamous forever..."

Gongcao's insightful words immediately solved the difficulty of Zhongmou county magistrate.So, he discussed with Gong Cao and decided to release Cao Cao quietly.At this time, only the two of them knew that it was Cao Cao, and the others did not.When Cao Cao knew that the magistrate of Zhongmu County wanted to let him go, he was very grateful, so he said: "In the future, when I, Cao Cao, have great success, I will definitely repay you a hundred times." The magistrate of Zhongmu County said: "I don't want to repay each other, but I just want to use General Cao's literary talent and military strategy to save the people of the community from fire and water!"

Cao Cao was even more emotional, and thanked him with a hug. The county magistrate of Zhongmu presented Cao Cao with coils and horses, and sent him out of the city overnight.Cao Cao mobilized his fast horse to leave Sili District as soon as possible. After leaving Zhongmu County, Cao Cao did not dare to walk on the road. With his superb riding skills, he crossed the mountain path by shortcut and arrived at Dagao.Cao Cao suddenly remembered that his father had a friend named Lu Boshe who lived nearby. Cao Cao went to an inn, and was about to ask the owner if there was Lu Boshe, when the owner blinked his eyes and looked him over carefully, he immediately remembered the arrest warrant, there must be a notice about him posted nearby .Before he could speak, he got on his horse, turned around and galloped away.Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't shout loudly, maybe because he didn't recognize it clearly?

Cao Cao didn't dare to take the liberty to inquire any more.He hid in a forest, thinking about how to find out about Lu Boshe. Just then, an old woman came from the edge of the forest, carrying a basket on her back, and was collecting dry firewood.Cao Cao reckoned that the old woman would not be able to find out about people wanted by the court, so he decided to ask her. Cao Cao got off his horse and walked out of the jungle, and came to the old woman.Sure enough, the old woman didn't care much about him, and when he asked about Lu Boshe, she told him: "The Lu family is in the east of the village, with a single family and a big courtyard."

Cao Cao looked in the direction of her finger, and he saw a village in front of him. Outside the village, there was another independent compound with tall and neat houses. After he thanked the old woman, he went into the forest to hide again, and he decided to visit at night. The reason why Cao Cao wanted to go to Lu Boshe's place was to beg for some food. On the way, he didn't dare to make much contact with people for fear of being recognized, so he only ate one meal a day. It’s hunger; the second is to find out if his father passed by here? I want to know a little about his father.

Cao Cao let the horse graze grass in the forest, while he leaned against a tree to rest.But his thoughts did not stop. He was thinking about what to do next? How would he start over? Now Cao Cao is no longer simply thinking about grand plans and ambitions. What he thinks about is how to fight against the insurgents. thief problem.His heart is filled with a sense of justice, which has surpassed personal honor and disgrace, and to a certain extent, it is all tied to the country and the common people. Cao Cao at this time can be said to have no heroic spirit.He is now alone, living in the wilderness, without any power or strength, and even his personal safety is somewhat unpredictable.He only has an eager mood, and something that belongs to the spirit is supporting him.

The kind old woman has gone away, Cao Cao watched her back, appearing and disappearing among the bushes and barley, how free, real and casual.At that moment, he really envied this old woman, envied her unrestrained and unscrupulous life... The sky gradually darkened, and the forest was a blur.Only then did Cao Cao get up and lead the horse, and slowly walked out of the forest.It was not dark, and there were many bright stars shining in the sky.But the air was very cold, and the gusts of night wind were a bit embarrassing. When Cao Cao came to the main road, he didn't meet anyone, so he got on his horse and walked towards the village in front of him with the help of the dim starlight.When approaching the village.Cao Cao reined in his horse and stopped.Because Lu Boshe's home is at the other end of the village, he must never pass through the village.He rode on the horse and looked over from a height, and found that there was a forest on the left of the village and a field on the right, and he had to go around from the right.

Cao Cao left the main road and went to the right.It is obviously a field trail, and riding on a horse also feels a lot of ups and downs. Perhaps it was because of the silence that the sound of horses' hooves spread into the village, which led to the sound of dogs barking.At first it was one dog barking, then there were three, five... and even one dog barking.Cao Cao heard some slight commotion in the village, as well as the shadow of flickering lights. Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little alert, but after careful analysis, he concluded that not all the villagers knew that there were important criminals wanted by the court passing by here.Even if you know, as ordinary villagers, it has nothing to do with them.But now that there is commotion in the village, it is obvious that thieves and other gangsters are haunting outside the village.Only people like thieves can be directly related to the interests of ordinary villagers, and ordinary people will take action.

Therefore, Cao Cao ignored them and walked freely on the field road far away from the village.Sure enough, because he didn't get close to the village, there was only a little commotion in the village. Cao Cao found the compound according to the direction of the old woman who collected firewood during the day.He still attracted the barking of dogs again, which came from inside the gate.He jumped off his horse and knocked on the gate, which opened instantly.Because of the barking of the dog, someone in the house had already come to the back of the courtyard door to listen. The one who opened the door was about forty years away, probably a servant.After Cao Cao found out that this was Lu Boshe's home, he reported his real name to the servant.The servant told him to wait.Go in and tell me first.

After not seeing his servant come out for a long time, Cao Cao couldn't help wondering: Did they all go to bed so early?
