Chapter 421 Cao Mengde, long time no see

A light rain fell under the misty sky, and the dusty leaves and weeds were washed as green as new.

In front of the road, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and ordinary clothes led a gray horse with four thick hooves and walked forward unhurriedly.

Men want to ride a horse quickly, but the road is slippery, and riding a horse is not only easy to fall, but also particularly eye-catching.

Now he is being arrested everywhere, and he is careful everywhere, how dare he act with great fanfare.

This person is none other than Cao Cao.

However, even though he changed his name and surname, he was cunning and cunning, but he was still recognized in Zhongmu County and imprisoned.

Cao Cao thought that he would die at first, but the county commander was a loyal man, and after hearing his ambitions, he not only let him go, but also abandoned the official to accompany him.

Later, when he passed through Chenggao, Cao Cao went to the home of his old friend Lu Bohao. Lu Boxuan was not there, his son and guests sharpened their knives and killed pigs, and were hospitable. Perhaps because he was too enthusiastic, Cao Cao suspected that there was fraud in it, drew his sword and killed eight people in the house, including the guests, women and children, and seized the horses and food, and continued to flee east.

didn't go far, and the county magistrate surnamed Chen questioned him.

Cao Cao still has some regrets in his heart, but his character does not like to admit mistakes, even if he is wrong, it is the same.

Therefore, he replied: "It is better for me to bear others than for others to bear me." ”

This sentence completely broke the thought of the county order surnamed Chen, but he felt that it was unkind to kill him, so he took advantage of Cao Cao's sleep at night to get up and abandon him.

Cao Cao, who woke up, disappeared from the person next to him, and probably guessed his thoughts in his heart, and he didn't blame him, but he felt a little pity.

Those who become big things are not careful.

After walking for a long time, there was a small river in front of him, and Cao Cao led his horse over and drank water by the river.

The breeze blows, and the weeping willows on the riverside swing gracefully, blowing the hearts of people feel comfortable and cool.

Looking at the silhouette of the face reflected on the water, Cao Cao's heart became more and more determined: One day, time will prove to you that I am right.

Thirty or forty miles further on, there is Chenliu County.

Chen Liujun guarded Zhang Miao, Cao Cao's irreversible friend, and when he got there, he no longer had to hide in Tibet all day long, and he was completely safe.

Cao Cao didn't have time to be happy for long before he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the number of hooves was definitely not a few.

He squatted by the river, looked back quietly, and saw that there were probably as many as five or six hundred horsemen, and judging by their equipment and the surging morale of the march, it was not an exaggeration to call them tigers and wolves.

The team seemed to be coming this way, trying to drink and rest by the river.

Seeing this situation, Cao Xing was shocked, if they recognized themselves, would they still have a chance to live?

But if you run away on horseback now, you will inevitably alarm them and attract them to hunt them down. But if you stay here, if you are recognized, you can only sit back and wait to be killed.

You can't run when you run, you can't stay.

Could it be that the sky is going to kill me Cao Mengde?

Cao Cao was in despair.

The horse's hooves landed in the muddy potholes, splashing high muddy water, and trampling on Cao Cao's heart, his heart was like numbness, his fists were clenched, and his mind kept echoing: What to do, what to do......

However, when the cavalry got a little closer, Cao Cao saw that the banner of the main general of this team was engraved with a big 'Lu' character. Look at the leader again, the fire dragon horse under the crotch, the purple and gold crown of the hair, the mighty armor, the burly body, and the handsome face of the gods, as if the gods are coming.

It's not Lu Bu, who is it!

God won't kill me!

Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and his clenched fist loosened.

Lu Bujiu rebelled in Liaodong, and Cao Cao concluded that he must not know about his assassination of Dong Zhuo, so he adjusted his mood, laughed and took the initiative to step forward, and bowed his hand to greet him: "General Lu, I haven't seen you for more than a year, don't come to be harmed?" ”

If you are afraid to move forward, it will make them suspicious.

Lu Bu, who set off from Youzhou, hurried slowly, but still couldn't catch up with Dong Zhuo.

Along the way, the rumors and rumors I heard were never endless. Especially the closer you get to Luoyang, the clearer you hear. First He Jin was killed, then the eunuchs coerced the young emperor away, and then later, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, abolished the young emperor and established Liu Xie, the official worshiped Xiangguo, and called himself Taishi.

In addition to the advance of time, the wheel of history remains.

The only thing that Lu Bu didn't expect was the Cao family Mengde who appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

Cao Cao came up to say hello, and Lu Bu responded rudely: "Brother Meng De is not an official in Luoyang, why did he come to this mountain trail?" ”

Cao Cao heard Lu Bu's indifferent tone, and his heart was at ease, and he was more sure of the conjecture he had made before, and replied: "I learned that my father was seriously ill, and I specially told the Taishi about the holiday, and I wanted to hurry back quickly, so that I could wait in front of my father's bed to fulfill my filial piety." ”

Cao Cao's father, wife and children left Luoyang and returned to their hometown of Qian County long before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.

There is almost no flaw in this statement.

However, even if these words can deceive all the people in the world, they can't hide it from Lu Bu.

Why Cao Cao fled eastward, he can no longer know that Cao Cao's assassination of Dong in the previous life was exposed by him, but I don't know who has changed in this life?

I remember that at the beginning of his rebirth, Lu Bu's heart did not change, and the first thing he thought about was to kill Cao and Liu, and never suffer in the future.

In fact, Lu Bu did exactly that, he went to Liu Bei's hometown Zhuo County, and when Xinzheng and Cao Cao met for the first time, he took Cao Cao's life, and he was only close to succeeding.

However, from the rebirth after the epidemic to the awakening in the palace, Lu Bu is no longer comparable to the reckless man of the previous life. With his ambition, his hostility towards Cao Cao and even Liu Bei seems to have become much more diluted, and he even has a feeling of sympathy.

Take the matter in front of him as an example, Cao Cao was obviously ordered to be arrested everywhere, and it stands to reason that he should flee in a hurry, or hide in the mountains and forests, how should it not be like this, he stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

If it were him, he would definitely kill the bloody road, and he definitely didn't have the guts, so he stepped forward to talk and laugh.

Lu Bu dismounted and ordered the soldiers who had been driving for a long time to rest.

Then, he took Cao Cao's left hand and did not ask anyone to follow, as if the old people met.

Lu Bu's actions made Cao Cao's heart beat the drum with trepidation, and according to his thoughts, he asked and asked, and said and said. At this time, shouldn't you let me go?

Cao Cao couldn't break the strength of Lu Bu's hands, and he didn't dare to resist, so he could only let Lu Bu move forward.

The two came to the riverside, and the river breeze was cool.

Lu Bu let go of Cao Cao, and the two stood under a weeping willow, looking at the great mountains and rivers. Both of them are not ordinary people, and when they go to that station, there is a majestic momentum that guides the country.

It's just that as soon as Lu Bu opened his mouth, he shocked Cao Cao beside him.

"Why does Meng De have to deceive me, Ling Zun is not sick, but you are seriously ill. Don't I know that you are not doing your filial piety, but you are running for your life! ”
