"A capable minister who rules the world, a hero of troubled times"

This is the instructions given to Cao Cao by Xu Zhaoxu, a generation of celebrities. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

Of course, Cao Cao himself can naturally understand that this is just a more euphemistic statement by Xu Jiang, because he knows that he can't be a hero, and if he wants to do it, he will be a traitor in troubled times.

Originally, Cao Cao did have the idea of wanting to be a virtuous minister, but in recent years, what he has seen in Luoyang, Kyoto, has made him completely lose hope in this court. He understands that he can't do this virtuous minister.

What celebrities and hermits have said a lot of things about the chaos in the world, in the past, Cao Cao would not have any ideas, but now, the world is in chaos, how can Cao Cao not have his own ideas?

In fact, he had his idea a long time ago. It's just that the time has not yet come.

At present, he feels that the time has come, and the current court is no longer the court of the Han family, but the court controlled by Dong Zhuo, and because of Dong Zhuo's dictatorship and arbitrariness, it has made the court full of grievances, and the people of the world are sad. Now, it's time to be a traitor in troubled times.

Cao Cao sent his family out of Luoyang early in the morning, because he had the idea of leaving Luoyang at any time and preparing for an incident. And the reason why he still stayed in Luoyang was that he didn't want to leave in such obscurity, because, no matter his current reputation or fame, it was far from enough. In this world, not many people know who Cao Cao is.

He has been waiting for an opportunity to make a name for himself in one fell swoop and let everyone in the world remember his Cao Cao name. Now, he felt the time had come.

Wang Yun's banquet invited almost the entire imperial court, and the ministers cried, and he laughed. In this way, it shows that he is different from others, and also makes these ministers really remember his name as Cao Cao. When they were frightened and worried about the current situation of the imperial court, but they only knew how to weep bitterly. He was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and he said that he could immediately judge Dong Zhuo's head, although many people just thought that Cao Cao was making a big statement, which was just arrogant. However, there are also many courtiers who are impressed by Cao Cao, if they are not afraid of many ears and eyes, someone will ask Cao Cao and ask him what is the best way to cut off Dong Zhuo's head.

And these are just Cao Cao's first steps. It was just a matter of getting the courtiers to remember his name.

And the second step, as Cao Cao himself said, the eldest husband should stand in the world and be vigorous. He planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo! In response to the words of Dong Zhuo's head in front of so many people at this banquet, the courtiers understood that he Cao Cao did what he said, and he didn't dare to think about it. Let's Cao Cao dare!

Naturally, Cao Cao didn't think that he could really assassinate Dong Zhuo, he wanted it. It's just an action, an action that everyone knows, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know that Cao Cao really went to assassinate Dong Zhuo. As soon as this action was implemented, his Cao Cao's prestige, and even his status in the minds of the Manchu civil and military, immediately rose to an extremely high position, and he would also be admired by them, and then passed on by their word of mouth, in the future. Who in the world doesn't know you? Who doesn't know that Cao Cao is a big man in the world who dares to speak and act? What Cao Cao wants is such an effect.

When Wang Yun invited Cao Cao to the secret room to test what Cao Cao wanted, Cao Cao bluntly stated his own strategy.

Cao Cao actually didn't treat Wang Yun very much, because he also saw that Wang Yun was indeed a bit hypocritical, and he had been doing it recently. Looking at it in secret, it can be seen that Wang Yun may not really want to resist Dong Zhuo, or rather, it is not that Wang Yun does not want to resist Dong Zhuo, but that he, like these current courtiers, has a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, and he definitely does not dare to have the slightest intention of resisting Dong Zhuo in the open.

And Cao Cao himself is just seeking to be famous and famous, and he is ready to leave Luoyang at any time, so he doesn't have to worry about whether this Wang Yun will tell Dong Zhuo that he wants to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao also saw that Wang Yun was also a person who cherished his reputation, he said in front of the courtiers that Dong Zhuo's head could be cut off immediately, if Cao Cao was taken down by Dong Zhuo the next day, then it would be difficult for Wang Yun to get rid of the suspicion of whistleblowing, so Cao Cao directly said to Wang Yun that he was going to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao also made it clear that he was in contact with Dong Zhuo just to gain Dong Zhuo's trust, and now, he can freely enter and leave Dong Zhuo's residence, but because Dong Zhuo has experienced assassination, he is now extremely vigilant, and he is now wearing an invulnerable soft armor even when he sleeps, so he wants to borrow a treasure knife from Wang Yun's mansion and take it to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

In Wang Yun's house, there is indeed a seven-star treasure knife, whose knife is as sharp as clay, and can be blown and broken. None of this is a secret, and many people know it.

Coming to Wang Yun's house to borrow a knife was also something that Cao Cao had thought about early on.

Although Wang Yun was reluctant in his heart, he still gave the knife to Cao Cao.

The assassination of Dong, even if Wang Yun didn't say it, Cao Cao also sent some detailed works to publicize it, so that everyone knew that Cao Cao had such a plan. Of course, it has to be Cao Cao's action before it can be publicized.

This matter should not be delayed, and the next day, Cao Cao came to Dong Zhuoxiang's mansion with the seven-star treasure knife he got from Wang Yun's hand.

Seeing Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu was also holding a halberd on his side, and Cao Cao naturally didn't dare to move for a while. What's more, his original intention was just to make a gesture to the world, not really to send him to death. Well, assassinating Dong Zhuo, no matter whether Dong Zhuo can really be assassinated or not, as long as he does it, he Cao Cao will definitely not be able to leave this Xiangguo Mansion again, for this, Cao Cao's heart is like a mirror.

However, how to do this posture well is a very deep knowledge, not only to allow himself to retreat from Xiangguo Mansion, but also to make everyone in the world believe that he Cao Cao did come to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but the assassination was unsuccessful.

Cao Cao hasn't had much contact with Dong Zhuo recently, and when Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao, he asked Cao Cao what was going on. Cao Cao made an excuse at random, saying that he had come to ask for a war horse.

This is also what Cao Cao thought about in advance, and only with horses can he leave Xiangguo's Mansion faster.

With just a war horse, how could Cao Cao be missing? If Dong Zhuo thinks about it a little, he can see that Cao Cao's excuse is a bit far-fetched. However, Cao Cao had already had a rhetoric, praised Lu Bu, and talked about Lu Bu's mount, the Red Rabbit Horse, saying that Lu Bu's vision of Xiangma was first-class, and he could be regarded as the first Bole in the world.

made Lu Bu happy, so he asked Lu Bu to pick a war horse for himself. Dong Zhuo didn't doubt him for a while, so he asked Lu Bu to go to the stable of Xiangguo's Mansion to pick a high-grade war horse for Cao Cao. Although Dong Zhuo is sometimes brutal, when he is in a good mood, he is indeed generous and straightforward to others. There is also a pride in treating money as dung. If Dong Zhuo is useless, how can he collect so many Wenchen and Wu generals to serve him? It is impossible to subdue so many civil and military generals by virtue of power alone. Besides, when Dong Zhuo hadn't really made a fortune before, how could he be powerful? Such a small thing. Dong Zhuo hasn't taken it to heart yet.

As soon as Lu Bu left, only Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo were left.

Of course, things did not go as recorded in history, saying that Dong Zhuo was pretending to sleep, and Cao Cao wanted to stab with a knife, but Dong Zhuo saw a reflection from a bronze mirror and asked Cao Cao why he pulled the knife. Then Cao Cao was anxious and pretended to sacrifice the knife.

Such a story is really a bit ridiculous, how could Dong Zhuo still lie down and sleep in front of Cao Cao? Whoever changes, there is someone in the family, it is impossible to let others sit still, and then sleep in front of others. Xiangguo, who is in a high position like Dong Zhuo, naturally has something to say, and Cao Cao will definitely step down if he has nothing to do. Since Cao Cao came to ask for a war horse, if it was okay, Dong Zhuo would also let Cao Cao go with Lu Bu to choose a war horse. It is impossible to let Cao Cao sit here.

And Dong Zhuo, he knew that Cao Cao was indeed talented, but he had a little scruple about Cao Cao, but he thought about it, even Lu Bu was so unruly and subdued by him, how could he really worry about Cao Cao? Therefore, on the surface, he is still quite generous to Cao Cao, and if Cao Cao really surrenders to him, he also intends to reuse Cao Cao. So. Dong Zhuo personally poured wine for Cao Cao at this moment, and chatted with Cao Cao while drinking to show his importance to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo coped, but they kept paying attention to the movement outside, and after a while, he heard heavy footsteps outside. Cao Cao suddenly pulled out the seven-star treasure knife on his waist and put it on the banquet table with a snap.

At this time, Lu Bu returned, saw Cao Cao suddenly pull his knife, thought that he was going to assassinate Dong Zhuo, hurriedly shouted, and rushed forward to take Cao Cao down.

And Cao Cao dodged the situation, and then shouted: "Feng first and slowly!" ”

Lu Bu leaned sideways in front of Dong Zhuo and asked sharply, "What does Meng De want to pull the knife at Xiangguo?" ”

What Cao Cao wanted was such a misunderstanding by Lu Bu, and at the moment he looked like he was sincerely afraid, knelt down and held the knife, raised it and said: "Don't misunderstand Feng Xian, Cao Mou didn't want to assassinate Xiangguo, but he just got a treasure knife by chance, and now he wants to offer it to Xiangguo. Feng Xian took a knife and looked at it. ”

When Dong Zhuo pulled the knife from Cao Cao, he was really startled by Cao Cao, if it weren't for Lu Bu's sudden return, he would really be shouting assassins. Recently, he has been pampered, his body has become a lot fatter, his hands and feet are not as flexible as before, and with Lu Bu's personal protection, he has rarely used his hands and has not practiced martial arts.

Now that he heard Cao Cao say that he was just offering a knife, and Lu Bu was in front of him again, he was shocked and said: "Meng De, your actions just now are too Meng Lang, let alone Feng Xian, and I almost thought that you were going to assassinate our family." ”

"Xiangguo, if Cao wants to assassinate you, when we just drank and talked together, there will be more opportunities to pull the knife, why do you have to wait for Feng to return first?" Cao Cao explained.

"Haha, that's what I said, it's our family who is suspicious, Feng Xian, take a look at the treasure knife." Dong Zhuo's eyes flickered, but he felt that Cao Cao's words were reasonable, so he no longer doubted Cao Cao's intentions.

After Lu Bu's test, the knife offered by Cao Cao was a treasure knife, Dong Zhuo was very happy, and he also used it to play with it, and brought a bronze mirror, which really sharpened iron like clay. However, Dong Zhuo casually gave it to Lu Bu and said: "Our family has my son Fengxian to protect us, and the people in the world who can kill us have not yet been born, so we don't need this treasure knife, in Feng Xian's hands, we can exert the power of its treasure knife." ”

Cao Cao echoed: "What Xiangguo said is extremely true, the treasure knife gives heroes, congratulations to Feng Xian for adding another treasure, Fang Tian painted halberd, red rabbit knife, seven-star treasure knife, try to ask in the world today, who is still the enemy of Fengxian?" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he was also overjoyed.

Cao Cao saw that things were about the same, and pretended to be a little apprehensive at the moment.

Dong Zhuo did not stay with Cao Cao anymore and let Cao Cao leave. As soon as Cao Cao came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he took the war horse selected by Lu Bu in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, turned over on the horse, pretended to leave in a hurry, and left all the talismans of the cavalry captain on his body.

The guards of Xiangguo's Mansion saw that something had fallen from Cao Cao's body, so they hurriedly stepped forward to check it out, and shouted that General Cao had dropped something, but Cao Cao did not look back. Whipping the war horse one by one, galloped away.

Seeing this, the soldiers felt that Cao Cao's move was very strange, giving people a feeling of being in a hurry and wolf. He had no choice but to take Cao Cao's talisman and report it to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo listened to the soldier's report, he hadn't spoken yet, but Lu Bu reacted first, he shouted, "Oops! Damn it! He was deceived. ”

"Oh? Why? Dong Zhuo also said suspiciously.

"Father-in-law, this Cao Cao clearly wants to assassinate you, otherwise, why would he leave in such a hurry? How important are the talismans? Fell. It was suspicious that the soldiers called him, but they kept calling and leaving, and did not dare to turn back. I think Cao Cao must have a plan to see Xiangguo here, but he just let the child stop drinking. Lu Bu said as a matter of course.

"Hmm. It's really suspicious, when we drank with him just now, I always felt that Cao Cao seemed to be absent-minded. Later, without warning. Suddenly pull the knife. Dong Zhuo also felt that what Lu Bu said was very reasonable.

At the right time, Li Ru came, Dong Zhuo told Cao Cao about asking for a horse to sacrifice a knife, Li Ru heard it, and then paused: "It's bad, Cao Cao doesn't have a wife and a small family in Beijing, but he lives alone in the mansion, I'm afraid that he still really has a plan, and quickly send someone to Cao's mansion to inquire, if Cao Cao has returned to the house." If he dares to come, Cao Cao may not really have any plans for Xiangguo, if he doesn't come, if he doesn't dare to come, then he just offered a knife. He must want to assassinate the prime minister, but he can be ordered to be taken down. ”

Dong Zhuo also felt that Li Ru's words could determine whether Cao Cao had the intention of assassinating him, so he hurriedly sent someone to Cao's mansion.

Soon, the detective reported: "Cao Cao has not returned home, Pegasus went out of the east gate, and the horse rushed away." ”

When Li Ru heard this, he said: "In this way, Cao Cao, a thief, must be a weak heart and flee, begging the horse to offer a knife, he must want to assassinate Xiangguo." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he was furious, so he ordered all over the paperwork, drawing shadows and graphics, and arresting Cao Cao: capture the donor, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households; Harbourers are guilty of the same crime.

This is the second order to arrest one person after ordering the arrest of Liu Yi throughout the country. Moreover, when the text of arresting Liu Yi was issued, there was no bounty and reward, which shows that Dong Zhuo was angry that Cao Cao had the intention to assassinate him, and his value seemed to be much higher than that of Liu Yi.

However, it is no wonder that Liu Yi's reputation is outside, and he issued a holy decree document to arrest Liu Yi, just to make an example for the people of the world, and to brand Liu Yi as a thief and destroy Liu Yi's reputation, If you want to arrest Cao Cao alone, there is still a chance, give a reward, maybe it will arouse the greed of the people in the world and arrest Cao Cao back.

As soon as Dong Zhuo's documents for Cao Cao's arrest came out, the entire capital was in an uproar. Especially those ministers in the court who heard Cao Cao say that Dong Zhuo's head could be cut off immediately, they didn't expect that Cao Cao really dared to go to Xiangguo's mansion to assassinate Dong Zhuo, for a while, secretly, they all worshiped Cao Cao a little, at least, everyone would not say that Cao Cao was arrogant.

Cao Cao's move did accumulate enough prestige for him, made many people look up to Cao Cao, and benefited Cao Cao a lot in the future.

And said that Cao Cao patted the horse and left Luoyang, and he had no nostalgia for Luoyang, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he returned home, he immediately raised troops, and used his own voice to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and ordered the world's heroes to join forces to defeat Dong Zhuo.

Although Cao Cao got a good horse and fled from Luoyang quickly, he was a solo rider after all, and his generals had already had another task to let them go according to the plan. Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals, he also sent them to Jinan early, so that they could prepare grain, grass and horses, just when he officially started the army, they brought troops to meet.

Cao Cao was alone, people and horses had to rest, stop and go, and soon arrived in Zhongmu County. No, because of Cao Cao's stop-and-go relationship, the documents to arrest him have already been sent by Dong Zhuo to convey them to various places, and the documents for arresting him have already rushed to him.

Cao Cao was recognized by the county order, and a group of sergeants arrested Cao Cao and put him in prison.

Fortunately, Cao Cao's matter in Luoyang, with the capture of the document conveyed, also spread to all over the place, this county order surnamed Chen Ming Palace, he admired Cao Cao's actions, when he heard that Cao Cao wanted to return to his hometown, issued an edict, and called the princes of the world to raise troops to punish Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was moved, so he worshiped Cao Cao as the main and fled from Zhongmu County with Cao Cao.

No, Cao Cao and Chen Gong fled to a village, and went to the house of Cao Cao's father's righteous brother Lu Bohao for the night.

Cao Cao saw that he was about to return to the township, and the army was about to rise, at this moment, his paranoia attacked, and when he heard the people of the Lu family sharpening their knives late at night, he didn't know what was going on, and he thought that the people of the Lu family were looking for a reward and wanted to arrest him to receive the reward. After the killing, he fled, and at dawn, he saw Lu Bohao, who had returned from buying wine in a neighboring village in order to entertain Cao Cao, and Cao Cao actually killed him again.

When Chen Gong killed the Lu family by Cao Cao, he knew that he had killed a good person by mistake, and he felt guilty and remorseful.

However, Cao Cao said a sentence that has been passed down through the ages to show his true character as a traitor: "Rather teach me to bear the people of the world, and stop teaching the people of the world to bear me." ”

When Chen Gong saw that Cao Cao killed a good person by mistake, not only did he have no shame, but he killed Lu Bohao again, so he was a little chilled by Cao Cao, and wondered what is the difference between Cao Cao's cruelty and Dong Zhuo's cruelty? Therefore, he looked for an opportunity to leave Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao also knew that what he did would make Chen Gong centrifuge, and he didn't pay much attention to Chen Gong's abandonment of himself and left, but was afraid that Chen Gong would attract officers and soldiers to arrest him, so he hurriedly returned to his hometown.
