"Anyone who achieves great things must not only have financial resources, military strength, and influence, but also have a reputation that is unforgettable to the world. During this time, Yuan Benchu ​​and Dong Zhuo have turned against each other, and have won the favor of many heroes and heroes in the world. There is also a faint tendency to lead the world in righteousness .If I want to overshadow him in fame, I must do something that will amaze the heroes of the world even more.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's notoriety had reached its peak. If someone could eradicate him at this time, he would definitely win the surrender of countless heroes.

I have been patient under Dong Gou's command, and I have been waiting for this opportunity.Now is the time.Therefore, I have decided that at noon tomorrow, I will pretend to offer a knife to assassinate Dong.Once Dong Zhuo died, all the soldiers under his command would be leaderless, and chaos would inevitably ensue.I have ordered Xun You to make all preparations in Chenliu to lead troops to attack Luoyang at any time and wipe out the remnants of Dong Gou.

In this way, the name of me, Cao Mengde, will definitely be famous all over the world, and then my time... will come. "

Xiahou Dun opened his mouth wide, his heart was beating wildly, and his blood was boiling unconsciously.However, he was surprised again soon, and said hastily.

"Aman, you are our leader. If you can't take the risk yourself, let me, Xiahou Yuanrang, do the stabbing of Dong with a knife!"

Cao Cao shook his head gently with a calm smile on his face.

"No, Dong Zhuo's mansion must be for ordinary people to enter and leave at will. Dong Gou and I have been selling each other for a long time, so we can freely come and go in Dong's mansion without arousing suspicion. If you go there rashly, it will cause bad things. And, don't enter the tiger's den To be a tiger, I, Cao Mengde, need this reputation to achieve great things, so of course I have to pay the price.

Don't worry, Yuan Rang, I, Cao Mengde, will never stop here in this era.Tomorrow, you can lead the troops and wait at the south gate. Wang Situ has already made an appointment with me, and he will come forward and order the south gate guard to replace you.At that time, as soon as I succeed in assassinating Dong, I will go straight to the south gate to meet you, and flee back to Chenliu to pursue a great cause. "

"Wang Situ? He also knows about this?! It's a big deal, can he be trusted?"

"Credible. Today's assassination of Dong Zhuo was presided over by him. Wang Situ has always been loyal to the Han family, upholding righteousness for the public, and died for the court. I think he is the only one who dares to confront Dong Zhuo at the moment. The seven-star sword is exactly him. A family heirloom."

"So, I am relieved. Also, just now Yuan Rang uttered wild words and was willing to be punished. Please Aman come down!"

After putting away the sword, Xiahou Dun suddenly bowed his head and knelt down towards Cao Cao.Cao Cao knew that Xiahou Dun was outspoken by nature, so instead of blaming him, he admired his straightforwardness. He helped Xiahou Dun up and comforted him.

The next day, Cao Cao was thinking about what excuse to use to meet Dong Zhuo.At this time, with a team of guards, Dong Zhuo, who was surrounded by a tall and majestic Lu Bu who looked like a god, and dressed like a royal costume, suddenly stopped Cao Cao in front of the palace gate, and ordered Cao Cao to come to him at noon today. In Xiangguo's mansion, there are important matters to discuss.

Cao Cao was neither humble nor overbearing, just as in the past, he politely expressed his understanding.Dong Zhuo nodded, glanced at Cao Cao as if his eyes were high, and then walked away.

At noon, Cao Cao was ready, armed with a treasured sword, rode his horse to Xiangfu, and asked the guards in front of the mansion when he came to the mansion. "Cao was invited by Dong Xiangguo. I don't know where Dong Xiangguo is now?"

The guard in front of the gate recognized Cao Cao. Cao Cao came in and out of Xiangguo's mansion from time to time, so he replied very politely.

"Lord Cao, Xiangguo is now resting in the small pavilion."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and after giving each guard in front of the gate a piece of silver, he walked into Xiangguo's mansion under the eyes of all the smiling people.

Cao Cao walked lightly in the hallway of Xiangguo's mansion, thinking that Dong Zhuo would keep Lv Bu by his side for fear that others would harm him, and if he wanted to assassinate Dong, he would have to move Lv Bu first.After Cao Cao thought about it, he quickly came up with a plan in his mind, walked slowly on purpose, walked around the mansion a few times, saw that it was almost time, and then entered the attic where Dong Zhuo was.

After Cao Cao walked into the attic, he saw Dong Zhuo lying on the bed, while Lu Bu was standing beside him like a door god.Lu Bu squinted his eyes when he saw Cao Cao, because of Wen Han's relationship, he didn't have much affection for Cao Cao.Moreover, for some reason, Lu Bu had a feeling that Cao Cao was somewhat stronger than Wen Han.

Dong Zhuo frowned when he saw that Cao Cao was half a stick behind the appointed time, and shouted displeasedly with a reproachful tone.

"Why is Meng De coming late? Could it be that you, like those pedantic ministers, are also very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister?"

Cao Cao made a terrified expression, bowed his hands and apologized.

"The Prime Minister has invited me, so of course Cao didn't dare to hesitate. He had already arrived a few hours earlier, but Cao's mount was really old and weak, and he spent a lot of time on the road."

Dong Zhuo laughed, as if he was very happy with Cao Cao's fear, and immediately turned his head to look at Lu Bu and said.

"Haha. I am short of everything in Xiliang, but I have never been short of good horses. Feng Xianru knows horses best. Why don't you choose a ride yourself and give it to Meng De. When Meng De comes here in the future, he won't complain about the long journey. , the old horse is powerless."

"Yes, foster father!"

The corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, as if he was very upset about going to pick a horse for Cao Cao, and he deliberately snorted as he passed by Cao Cao.Cao Cao, on the other hand, stared straight ahead as if he didn't hear.

After Lv Bu left, Cao Cao grabbed the handle of the Seven Star Sword and wanted to stab him. He stepped out step by step, his eyes showing a fierce look.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo yelled, and Cao Cao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Haha. I'm just stretching my muscles and bones. Meng De is so timid that he shrinks back in fright?"

"Xiangguo's prestige is like Tianwei's, Meng De is a common man, of course he will have a common man under Tianwei."

It turned out that Dong Zhuo was just stretching. Hearing that Cao Cao was outselling him again, Dong Zhuo laughed for a while, then yawned a few times, and suddenly felt a little sleepy.

"The weather is cool, and it's easy for this person to fall asleep at noon. Mengde rests here confidently for the time being. Xiangguo, I'll take a short rest for a while, and I'll come back to discuss matters after Feng first returns."

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he ignored Cao Cao's fat body and fell over, turning his face inward.After a while, there was a heavy snort.Behind him, Cao Cao's heartbeat was about to rush out, and his eyes were constantly shining.

"Dong Gou, how dare you fall asleep in front of others, this is exactly what God wants to accept you!"

Cao Cao hurriedly held the treasured sword in his hand, walking lightly and quickly, came to the back of Dong Pangda's body, raised the treasured sword, the seven-star sword flashed for a while, and was reflected on Dong Zhuo's eyes by the mirror of Dong Zhuo's upside down, Dong Zhuo felt his eyes Stinging, he opened his eyes, just in time to see Cao Cao drawing his sword behind his back in the mirror,

Dong Zhuo was startled, turned around quickly and shouted loudly.

"Cao Mengde! What do you want to do!!"

If you are discovered, then do nothing!Cao Cao shouted in his heart and was about to chop off Dong Zhuo's head when suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes outside the pavilion.Cao Cao's heart trembled, and he knew that Lu Bu had led his horse outside the pavilion.

Cao Cao's brain turned, what he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo was fame and great achievements.And if you don't even protect your life, then what's the big deal.Cao Cao quickly made a decision, and quickly knelt down with a knife.

"Xiangguo. Cao has a precious sword that cuts iron like mud. Cao believes that only people like Xiangguo are worthy of holding it, so I present it as a gift."

"Oh? Cut iron like mud? Is it really so powerful?"

Dong Zhuo was born with a love of treasures, so when he took Cao Cao's treasured sword, he saw that the sword was more than a foot long, inlaid with seven treasures, and every gemstone was fascinating.Then he took the knife and slashed at the handrail next to him, and it was as sharp as cutting dirt.

"Haha, it really is a precious sword."

Dong Zhuo laughed, almost all his attention was focused on the precious saber in his hand, and he did not hesitate to hold it and play with it.At this time, Lv Bu walked into the pavilion, and saw that Dong Zhuo had an extra precious sword in his hand at some point, and frowned unconsciously.Cao Cao was extremely nervous, but his face was calm, and he said to Lu Bu.

"General Lu, I wonder if Mr. Cao can try the BMW that you personally selected for Mr. Cao?"

"Oh, good. You come out with me."

Cao Cao's shout unknowingly confused Lu Bu's thoughts. Lu Bu led Cao Cao out of the pavilion. Cao Cao calmly walked up to the horse that Lu Bu had chosen for him. After stroking the horse's hair, he praised the horse At the same time, he also praised Lu Bu for his unique vision.No matter who you are, you like to be praised.Especially Lu Bu, who had an extremely flamboyant personality, Cao Cao praised Lu Bu's enthusiasm, and Lu Bu unconsciously asked Cao Cao to get on the horse and try the horse.

Cao Cao waited for Lu Bu's words, got on his horse, and cupped his hands towards Lu Bu.

"General Lu, this prime minister's mansion is full of precious things. Cao doesn't dare to be presumptuous here. After Cao leaves the mansion for a few laps, he will come back and thank General Lu."

Lu Bu didn't doubt that he was there, he said yes repeatedly, and even cordially called his servants to send Cao Cao out of the prime minister's residence.After Cao Cao left the prime minister's mansion, he flicked his whip and immediately galloped towards the south gate.

At the same time, Lu Bu went into the attic and saw Dong Zhuo was still playing with the seven-star sword, and then saw the scabbard thrown on the ground, so he asked about the origin of the sword.Dong Zhuo reluctantly put the seven-star sword aside, and talked about Cao Cao's offer of the sword.

Lv Bu pondered for a while, picked up the scabbard on the ground, and said suspiciously to Dong Zhuo.

"Then Cao Mengde wanted to present his sword, so why did he pull out the precious sword and throw the scabbard aside? It's really strange. I think Cao Mengde seems to have the intention of assassinating. He was stopped by his adoptive father just now, and he heard that I just came back with a horse. , so it is deduced to offer a knife."

When Dong Zhuo was told by Lu Bu, when he recalled the scene just now, he suddenly had a bad look on his face.

"Okay! This Cao Mengde used him so much, but he killed me instead! It's just a white-eyed wolf!!"

At this time, Li Ru, who had something to report, heard Dong Zhuo's angry voice shouting that someone wanted to kill him, so he hurried in to inquire. Dong Zhuo told the matter, Li Ru squinted his eyes and said.

"I heard that most of the soldiers under Cao Cao's command sneaked back to Chenliu a few days ago, and only he and his brother Xiahoudun were left in the Cao mansion. Did this person plan to assassinate Xiangguo long ago? Xiangguo, you can immediately Send people to chase Cao Cao, if Cao Cao is willing to come, he will offer his sword, if Cao Cao refuses, he must be guilty of a thief, what he did just now must be to harm the prime minister!"

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered someone to summon Cao Cao.After a while, the soldiers sent out came back and reported that Cao Cao had been searched throughout Luoyang City and could not be found.

"Cao Cao must have escaped from Luoyang! Xiangguo, Cao Cao really wants to harm you today!"

"Ah! Damn you Cao Mengde!!!"

Dong Zhuo was furious, yelled, and knocked the bronze vessel next to him away!After the anger passed, Li Ru was ordered to issue a letter, draw shadows and graphics, and arrest the traitor Cao Cao.Those who capture and donate will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and they will be sealed as marquises of ten thousand households. Those who harbor are also guilty of the same crime.

Overnight, news of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong spread throughout Sili Prefecture and counties. Cao Cao's name was very popular for a while.

After all, Yuan Benchu ​​turned against Dong Zhuo because of the advantage of tongue, but Cao Cao assassinated Dong alone regardless of his own safety.Cao Cao's original act of selling out to Dong Zhuo was naturally regarded as bearing the burden of humiliation and waiting for an opportunity.Therefore, in terms of courage, strategy, and righteousness, Cao Cao is of course better than Yuan Shao.

Of course, when Cao Cao is mentioned, many people can't help but think of the former Champion Wen.Although Wen Han's actions in Hedong made many wealthy scholars in the world angry.And [-]% of the talented people in the world are from the noble families. After all, these people are born noble and have inherent advantages in many aspects. In order to train them, the noble families spare no expense to find good teachers.

So even though Wen Han rebelled against Dong Zhuo with Ding Yuan earlier than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and repelled Dong Zhuo's general Zhang Ji's [-] army in Hedong, he still cannot compare with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in terms of reputation.

It's like in later generations, when an ordinary person does an earth-shattering thing, it will only be passed on by word of mouth for a period of time at most.But if the heir of a certain high-ranking official and wealthy family does it, it will definitely be publicized by all parties, and it may even be recorded heavily in history.This is one's background. No matter what era it is, the power and trend are all controlled by the wealthy and aristocratic families. People's eyes will always be easily attracted by these people.

Of course, what Wen Han has done has also won the favor of many scholars from poor families, but the authority and speech of these scholars are not taken seriously.

With the outbreak of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong, three days later, in the prefect's mansion in Anyi, Hedong.It was the cold winter season, and in the martial arts training ground of the prefect's mansion, although the weather was extremely cold and the cold wind cut people's bones, there was a naked upper body with sweat dripping all over his body, like worms in strips of different sizes. slipped from under the scars.He was waving a tiger-headed silver spear, and he was constantly rehearsing the spear style in the center of the training ground.
