Chapter 348 Cao Cao's Road to Heroes

When Mu Shan was proclaimed as the emperor of Xiangguo, a person was being imprisoned in the prison of Zhongmou City, not far from Luoyang City.

"It's a mistake, I regret it!"

Cao Cao sat cross-legged in the haystack, anxious, but sat cross-legged safely, but there was a slight wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was regretting in his heart: "I think Cao Mengde has escaped many times since I came out of Luoyang, but I didn't expect to lose my vigilance in the end." Xin, is now trapped in a prison, not to mention losing my life, what should I do according to His Majesty's holy will!"

He asked himself that he was careful enough.

At the banquet of Mu Jing's wedding, he assassinated Mu Shan alone, which was a narrow escape from death, but he managed to survive the narrow escape.

That night in the chaos of Luoyang, he was kicked by Mu Shan and was seriously injured, but with his seriously injured body, under the support of the palace guards, he escaped from the Mu Mansion, and finally remained under the cover of Zhao Zhong, the former ten-time attendant. Under this condition, he escaped from Luoyang City.

However, His Majesty's people could only help him to this extent. He was afraid that someone would pursue him, so he did not choose to go out in the east city, but went out from the north and went straight into the vast mountains.

He has cultivated in the mountain stream of Beimang for five full days, and only [-]% to [-]% of the injuries in his body have been healed. He is also a warrior, and his cultivation is not weak. He has the realm of an inner strength warrior. Injuries are no longer a serious hindrance to his journey.

With a long sword on his back, he began to walk out of Mang Mountain and headed towards Chenliu in the east as most of a ranger. He wanted to get to Chenliu as soon as possible, because he had the mission of the emperor on his shoulders.

After descending the mountain from Beimang, he ran eastward all the way, traveling at night and resting during the day, preferring to detour rather than enter the city. He traveled through the countryside and walked along the mountain stream. Although the journey was slow, it was also steady enough. The ranger intercepted and killed him, but escaped safely.

The towns and cities are covered with notices, but they still can't get him.

He knew that there was Jing Ping's army at Sishui Pass, and he was very afraid of Jing Ping's army under Mujing's command. The detour took more than five days.

When he arrived at the foot of Zhongmou City, he was exhausted mentally, and the injuries in his body had not healed, and he had lost both energy and blood, and he couldn't stand the coldness of the wilderness at all.

So he decided to venture into the city to rest for two days.

He has such a decision, the most fundamental point is that he is a little lax.

Zhongmou City is already some distance away from Luoyang, and leaving Zhongmu is equivalent to leaving Guanzhong. Leaving Guanzhong, there is a vast sea and sky. Although Mushan has power over the government, but its foundation is too shallow, government orders do not go out of Guanzhong, and most of its influence is within Guanzhong , not outside Guanzhong.

So he thought he had escaped.

But he never imagined that in Zhongmu City, he would be imprisoned for a trivial matter.

It was just a trivial matter, a fight in the city, and he was captured by the county soldiers, but he used the pseudonym Huangfuzhang, and in the name of a rivers and lakes ranger, as long as he paid some ransom, he could get away. up.

Chen Gong, the magistrate of Zhongmu County, had met him once in the past, and recognized him at a glance. He was Cao Cao, the most wanted thief in the court.

So he was taken into custody.

He was full of ambitions, holding the imperial decree of King Qin in his hand, but he died before he could leave the teacher. It was useless for him to repent, and tried to find a chance to escape again and again, but Zhongmou's cell was impenetrable, and there was nothing he could do.

"How to do?"

Cao Cao was very anxious, but he could only sit cross-legged in this simple prison cell.

click!
The door of the cell was opened, and a young scholar walked in, about 30 years old, with a rather lined face and a neatly trimmed beard, he could be regarded as a gentleman.

"Cao Mengde, stay safe and sound!"

The young scholar is the magistrate of Zhongmu County, Chen Gong, whose name is Gongtai.

"If you want to kill, kill, why be so hypocritical!" Cao Cao is the name of a generation of heroes, even if he has not yet set sail, even if he is now in prison, but he still has courage in him, which is very frightening. This is the posture of a hero.

"In Luoyang in the past, I intended to worship under the gate of the West Garden, marching to serve His Majesty, but I was humiliated by you, do you remember!" Chen Gongpan sat down and looked at Cao Cao sharply.

"Hehe!" Cao Cao laughed, his smile was ironic: "Today, today, I still say that, you want to serve the emperor's order, but Xiyuan is not a place to go, He Jin is not a good minister, and you can't help!"

"What a Cao Mengde, he deserves to have the guts to assassinate the current prime minister!" Chen Gong clapped his hands in admiration.

"Xiangguo?"

"Teacher Mu and three days ago, by His Majesty's decree, he was promoted to be the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, governing the government, ordering all the officials, and the notice has been pasted to the world!" Chen Gong said.

"It's the chaos of the Han Dynasty, and it's the shepherd thief!"

Cao Cao cried out in grief and indignation.

"What is this?" Chen Gong took out a brocade box, which he found from Cao Cao's body. No one went through it, and he was the only one who had seen the contents inside. He was very surprised and was in shock.

Cao Cao stared at the wooden box, he stood up slowly, then knelt down on his knees, and bowed to Chen Gong: "Brother Gongtai, it was a personal grievance that Cao was humiliated by you in the past, but today Cao fell into your hands, life and death are up to you." If you dispose of it, one death is not enough, but Cao Mou bears the emperor's order, this is the responsibility of the Grand Duke, brother Gongtai is a scholar, he should have the duty to serve the royal family, please also ask Gongtai to send this brocade box to the world, Cao Mou will be considered dead There is no shock!"

"Brother Meng De, are the shepherds really so cruel?" Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"The cruelty of the shepherd thief has been revealed to the world. He destroyed Yuan Gongman's clan. He is the family of the fourth generation and the third prince. How important is it to the world. Now he has turned the world upside down and manipulated the emperor like a puppet. Such a national thief, shouldn't he be killed?"

"Kill it!"

Chen Gong helped Cao Cao up: "There are many people in the county government with miscellaneous eyes. I am afraid that there will be members of the Mu family. It is a helpless move to humiliate Brother Meng De. Now that Meng De has the ambition, how can someone be angry because of personal grievances? For Brother Meng De's work, I have dismissed the county soldiers at the city gate, and for several hours, I have also found someone to stop the county Wei and the county magistrate, so you and I can leave the city overnight!"

"Brother Gongtai's help is a big man's fortune!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, quickly put the brocade box in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Let's set off quickly, Zhongmu is not far from Sishuiguan, and there is a herdsman Jingping army in Sishuiguan. Quick, enough to chase after several hours."

Taking advantage of the darkness, the two quietly left Zhongmou City.

Their direction is north.

"Brother Mengde, it's time, and there are no pursuers. It can be seen that the bandit army at Sishuiguan didn't respond quickly. We still have time to rest. When we rest, we are on the road!" On the mountain path, two fast horses rode for two In three months, after walking seven miles away, Cao Cao was injured, and Chen Gong was a scholar, all of them were exhausted.

"There is a Cao family in Dalu Village who made friends with me, so why don't we go and settle down first!"

Cao Cao nodded. His injury was not serious, and he had to rest for another day.

The two went to Dalu Village.

This small village has less than [-] households and a population of less than [-], but there is a Confucian in the village, who is well-known everywhere, even in Zhongmou and Chengmu, they are all famous scholars. His name is Lu Chao, and his style name is Boshe.

Lu Boshe used to study in Taixue in the past, and also went out of official career to the capital, but during the reign of Emperor Ling, countless scholars were implicated in the party ban, and he was one of them, sadly returning to his hometown. Open a private school to live.

He and Cao Cao met in the capital, and Cao Cao admired his talent and learning. He quite recognized Cao Cao's heroism, and the two had similar ambitions.

This is why Cao Cao came to join him.

Lu Boshe was very happy with Cao Cao's arrival. He greeted him and ordered his wife and children to host a banquet for his friends.

"Brother Mengde, I was not in the capital in the past, otherwise I would have done great things with you. You can eradicate thieves for the country and bring happiness to the world. This is respected by Bo She. Now you are fleeing here. It is a heavy responsibility given to me by God. Let's do our best!"

Lu Boshe said in a deep voice: "You rest at the mansion for a night first, I will go to find out the news, and arrange a way for you to leave this place by the way, with a radius of tens of miles, I, Lu, still have some reputation, so I can help you leave! "

"Thank you, Brother Bo She, for your kindness. There is no wine today, otherwise I will have a drink with Brother Bo She!"

"Hahaha, what's the problem!"

Lu Boshe laughed loudly: "When I came back, I bought a few catties of good wine from the West Village, and had a drink with Brother Meng De!"
