Chapter 34 Chapter 4 Dong Zhuo's Solo Court Cao Cao Recruits Soldiers (9)

"This..." Lu Boshe was speechless, and murmured, "I have the habit of going to bed early..." The anger in Cao Cao's chest was burning again. If Lu Boshe said clearly: He knew all these plots, but he was embarrassed and didn't want to participate, so he didn't show up.So, Cao Cao can still tolerate him, anyway, he is father's friend after all.But now, Lu Boshe hesitated and pretended not to know anything, which just happened to expose him as a participant in this conspiracy.How can he not be angry? Such a father and friend, a generous elder, is actually a beast in clothes with a wolfish ambition, a shameful villain who betrayed his friends.

Cao Cao called his name directly and shouted "Lu Boshe!". As soon as Lu Boshe raised his head, he saw a flash of bright cold light, he instinctively leaned back, and at the same time, Cao Cao's weapon had already pierced his chest.Lu Boshe suddenly felt that he was pierced like a piece of paper, and at the same time, he flew up lightly like a piece of paper, floating in the midair of the gloomy wind... After Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe, he made some calculations and rode his horse towards Hulao Pass.He reckoned that Lu's second son had only been away for more than an hour, because before he went to sleep, all the five brothers from the Lu family came to see him off.He lay down as soon as he entered the room, and woke up in a daze as soon as he lay down, and then a series of killings and fires took place.It's about an hour or so.And this is not close to Hulao Pass, even if Lu Lao Er is on a fast horse, he is only halfway.With Cao Cao's superb riding skills, he can catch up with him on a flying horse.Even if Lu Er Er was killed right near Hulao Pass, the clues of the pursuers would be cut off.

So Cao Cao stepped on his horse and galloped towards the road leading to Hulao Pass.Sure enough, when he saw Hulao Pass in the distance, he caught up with Lu Erer. Lu Laoer didn't know that it was Cao Cao who was chasing him, because Cao Cao would never go to Hulao Pass to throw himself into the trap anyway.Lu Er Er thought it was someone else from the family who came, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around, asking, "Why is there such a hurry?" Cao Cao, who had already approached Lv Lao Er, gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "That's why you bastard!"

Seeing a flash of cold light, Lu Lao Er fell off his horse. Lu Lao Er fell off his horse and only shouted: "You..." and could no longer speak. Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Hulaoguan, which was still sleeping in the night air, then turned his horse's head and galloped away again. Cao Cao hurried on the road without stopping, and when he arrived at Chenliu, he immediately joined Cao Hong who was waiting there in advance.The two brothers were very happy, because their rendezvous marked the failure of Dong Zhuo's pursuit of them and the success of their first step.

Chenliu is a large county, more than five hundred miles away from Luoyang, so Cao Cao no longer has to worry about Dong Zhuo persecuting him.Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, was friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and Chenliu County was under the administration of Yanzhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was a very firm opponent of Dong Zhuo in the scholar-bureaucrat group.The reason why Cao Cao chose to join Cao Hong in Chenliu was because of these favorable conditions in Chenliu. Cao Hong will transfer all the funds obtained from the seller to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked Cao Hong, "Did you tell your father that you would use the money?"

Cao Hong said: "This time the master is really different from the past. He said that he was against Dong Zhuo, and he agreed with both hands. He also said that if he needed money to recruit soldiers and horses, he could give some more. He yelled at Dong Zhuo, saying that Dong Zhuo forced him to leave. The prosperous capital, living in the wilderness..." Cao Cao nodded with a smile and said, "Even a man who loves money like his father has to give up money to fight against Dong Zhuo, so how long will Dong Zhuo's life last? Those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, this is the most basic principle."

In the afternoon of that day, Cao Cao went to visit Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.Zhang Miao was very enthusiastic and wanted to host a banquet. Cao Cao stopped him and said, "I've come all the way to Chenliu for a banquet?" Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Duke Cao's will, I don't know why, but let's have a banquet first and talk about it later!" "No," Cao Cao said, "Let's talk about things first, and then have a banquet. Otherwise, the things in your heart will get stuck in your throat. How can you bear this delicious food and wine?"

"Okay, okay," Zhang Miao said, "It makes sense, so let's talk about it first!" Cao Cao said: "I came to Chenliu today. I have many things to disturb. If it is urgent, I must report to the prefect first." Zhang Miao said, "Please speak up." Cao Cao said: "I came to Chenliu for nothing else, but to recruit volunteers to attack Dong Zhuoer!" Zhang Miao said: "Grandpa Cao is truly magnanimous and courageous. Today, Dong Zhuo monopolizes the government, and the Xiliang army is very powerful. There is no one in the whole country that can compete with it. And Duke Cao has started from scratch and attacked him with great vigor. Zhi, is really admirable..."

Cao Cao said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart. What's more, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, although it is very prosperous at present, its foundation is like a pile of eggs. Although the imperial court is monopolized, how many civil and military officials are convinced by his strategy? Emperor Xian, who was completely coerced by the sky, must have hatred in his heart! Once Dong Zhuo has a gap, who would not take the opportunity to make trouble? Besides, although the Xiliang army is strong, it has no military training and other brave men. What's more, the hearts of the people inside and outside the capital The direction of the will is not good for the Xiliang Army. And my recruitment of volunteers is completely in accordance with the will of God. If you follow the wishes of the people, it will be like dry wood meeting a raging fire. It will spread and burn like the river, sea and sky..."

Zhang Miao nodded and said: "What Cao Gong said is very reasonable. As long as you have such insights and ambitions, there is no reason why you can't make a big deal. Although I, Zhang Miao, am not talented, I can still help Cao Gong a little bit. As early as before , Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, once talked about the anti-Dong Zhuo thing, if you come to raise your troops again today, Lord Liu will definitely support you actively." Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this, because the timing, location, people and other conditions were all in place, just as Zhang Taishou said: "Is there any reason why it can't be a big event?" So excited, he said: "Why don't you have a banquet and wine? "

Zhang Miao said: "The road to the throat is as smooth as it is!" Cao Cao burst out laughing, and Zhang Miao laughed too. The servant called to enter the table, which had already been arranged.There were only Cao Cao and Zhang Miao at the table.Cao Cao said, "Why don't you invite your family to have a banquet together?" Zhang Miao said, "You and I, let's talk about what's on our minds!"
