Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 99 Are You Cao Ang Cao Zixiu?Chen Gong was shocked! 【Seek the first order】

The cold words echoed in Zhongmu County.

Cao Cao and Cao Ang feel chilled by the seemingly polite, but in fact rejecting attitude thousands of miles away.

Although some signs had already been seen from the previous words and deeds, when Chen Gong refused, the father and son were still a little disappointed.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the exhausted family members, and couldn't help but want to make one last effort.

If you miss Zhongmu County, you will have to walk for at least another day and night to reach Junyi County in Yanzhou.

At that time, the people in the family didn't know what they had been tortured into.

So after a little thought.

Cao Cao cupped his hands facing the tower, raised his voice, and said loudly.

"Magistrate Chen, it stands to reason that you and I are both officials of the imperial court and should help each other, but now you reject me, do you have any concerns?"

Chen Gong's pupils shrank slightly.

Instinctively, if I don't answer well, I'm afraid this guy in the city will be angered, so try not to start a dispute.

So he hurriedly saluted again.

With a slightly terrified tone, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, if there was no reason for the incident, how could I block you from the county seat?"

"Recently, there have been a lot of bandits and bandits near the city of Zhongmou County, and the bandits have made troubles. There have been several incidents of looting and killing people, so that the people in the city are panicking."

"So once you see large-scale troops passing by, you will subconsciously close the city gates, and you will never dare to socialize with passers-by."

"And as the magistrate of Zhongmou County, although I know that these people are definitely not evil people, I can't stand the pleas of the people in the city, so I can only close the city gate."

"This matter is definitely not aimed at the Fujun, but I still hope that Wan Haihan, if there is any inappropriateness, I will salute first!"

Chen Gong is also considered to be quick-witted.

I made up a reason on the spot.

And it sounds decent.

Because he was often robbed by bandits nearby, once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years, so that he became a frightened bird, shrinking in fear when he saw a large army.

This made Cao Cao speechless for a while.

People have opened their mouths like this, so they can't be forced to go in.

They are a regular army, not bandits, and they can't do anything like forcefully attack a county.

Just when Cao Cao was about to give up.

It was Cao Ang who was on the side suddenly riding his horse forward, raised his head and asked.

"Magistrate Chen, if I order the army to station five miles away from Zhongmou County, leaving only my family members in the city, is it feasible?"

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment.

To be fair, this proposal is still feasible.

The army not far away is basically composed of infantry, and it will take a while to break through the distance of five miles.

I just need to send people to guard at night, and before something happens, I have enough time to control the situation.

But what I said just now is so absolute.

It is somewhat inappropriate to suddenly slow down now, and caution is still dominant.

So after a few seconds.

Chenggong still hardened his heart, forced himself to shake his head, and put on an appearance that he would not make any concessions at all.

But considering that his attitude might anger the other party, don't make the other party have no malicious intentions at that time, but he was so angry that he broke out in anger and sent soldiers to forcibly attack Zhongmu County, it would be a big loss.

So after the cold rejection.

Chen Gong hurriedly opened his mouth to make amends and said: "Although I can't open the city to welcome you, I will send someone to send some food and water down from the tower later, which will be enough to supply everyone's consumption tonight."

"If you all want to leave tomorrow, I can also send some money and food, enough to support you for the next journey."

"I don't know how you two feel?"

……

This guy!
Don't eat it if it's really soft or hard, it's like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Cao Ang was a little suffocated.

But he really has nothing to do.

It is impossible to command a large army to attack Zhongmu County, right? The world is not in such a state of chaos yet, and this is not a confrontation between two armies to attack an enemy force.

So that's all.

Fortunately, this fellow Chen Gong has good eyesight, and he also knew to promise to send some food and clean water, otherwise, Cao Ang would definitely keep in mind today's account.

There will be no good fruit for you in the future!

Of course, saying so, Cao Ang still felt a little regretful.

This guy Chen Gong refused to enter the city by himself, so there was no way to communicate with him in private, and the idea of ​​taking him under his command was hard to come true after all.

At the beginning, there is one senior strategist missing.

Very annoying!

After calming down a little.

Cao Ang nodded to the tower, and then said in a calm voice: "In that case, thank the county magistrate for his kindness!"

"call!"

Chen Gong couldn't help exhaling a foul breath.

The boulder hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.

Finally calming down this group of people, he was really afraid that the two people underneath would get mad.

With just a small county town in Zhongmou County, plus a small number of county soldiers, how could it be possible to withstand the one or two thousand regular troops?
Well now, all the best!
Although it could be heard that Cao Ang's tone was a little unhappy, but Chen Gong couldn't care less, since he wasn't his direct superior anyway, so he couldn't control him.

"Two, please wait a moment, I will order people to prepare food and water, I will never neglect!"

After an order.

There was a very clear sound of running on the city wall.

And after easing the tense atmosphere.

Chen Gong also simply started chatting with Cao Cao and the two of them, as a way to ease the relationship.

……

"Excuse me for being rude, I never asked about it just now, who is this young master?"

Chen Gong refers to Cao Ang.

Originally, he didn't care about this young man.

After all, with Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, a middle-aged man, is obviously more mature and has a more stable temperament. At first glance, he looks like the kind of person in the upper class.

Obviously, among the two, it was the one who gave the orders, and the kid next to him was probably his nephew.

However, just now Cao Ang spoke repeatedly, and Cao Cao on the side did not stop him. At the same time, when talking about transferring the soldiers away, he also mentioned the tone of "I order", which attracted Chen Gong's attention.

To be polite, he asked one more question.

At this moment, Cao Cao, who had put down his mind about going to the city, did not show any malice in the face of Chen Gong's inquiry, but instead cheerfully patted Cao Ang on the shoulder beside him.

"This is Cao's son, named Ang, styled Zixiu, and now he has also been recruited by the imperial court to take the post of captain of Huben, which makes your Excellency laugh."

It was originally just a polite reply.

Unexpectedly, Chen Gong heard this introduction.

The whole person froze on the spot.

Eyes wide open, mouth slightly open.

He looked at Cao Ang below in a daze.

"This is serious, are you really Cao Ang Cao Zixiu?"

Cao Ang was stunned.

……

The father and son looked at each other.

I felt a little strange about Chen Gong's reaction.

Isn't the name Cao Ang and the name Zixiu?
Why did Chen Gong react so violently after hearing this, with an expression of disbelief, as if he saw some legendary character.

After a moment of hesitation.

Cao Ang still gave an affirmative answer.

"I don't know which Cao Ang Cao Zixiu your Excellency is talking about. Anyway, my name is also the same word. My father is the prefect of Jiyin County. The two of us, father and son, came out of Luoyang to take up the post in the county."

"Snapped!"

Chen Gong slammed the city wall.

The expression on his face became more and more excited.

"Yes!"

"Your Excellency came from Luoyang. There should not be many people named Cao Zixiu in Luoyang. Both the time and the place are suitable. I think what I said is true. The person I have heard is you!"

Cao Ang was even more confused now.

I don't seem to be doing anything, am I?

Why did the reputation spread here, even Chen Gong was so excited when he heard about it.

Before Cao Ang asked clearly.

Chen Gong poked his head out and said, "You two, stay behind the city later!"

After finishing speaking, there was a sound of footsteps on the city wall, and from the perspective of Cao's father and son, Chen Gong was nowhere to be found.

It took about half a cup of tea.

There was a sudden noise at the city gate.

"Bang!"

With the sound of pulling and impacting, the city gate, which was closed just now, suddenly opened a gap, and the gap became wider and wider.

until the entire hole is opened.

Not only that.

After opening the city gate, the suspension bridge that was originally pulled up was quickly lowered, revealing a smooth road that could lead directly into the city.

what's the situation? !

After persuading for such a long time and negotiating many times just now, Chen Gong insisted on not giving in half a step and never opening the city gate.

He looked terrified to death, fearing that the Cao family and his son would lead an army to plunder Zhongmou County, kill people and set fire to it, and occupy the county by force.

Are you not afraid of anything in the blink of an eye?

Just because he heard Cao Ang's name and knew that he was from Luoyang, he was completely fearless?
The word Cao Ang is more important than the people in the city who just kept saying, important enough to regain trust and open the city gate without guarding?

This is a bit too outrageous!
Cao Ang himself is fine.

Cao Cao really didn't understand, but he was shocked!

…………

Just when Cao Cao was startled.

There was a sound of horseshoes at the city gate that was just opened, and then Chen Gong was seen riding on a fast horse, galloping towards the two of them at high speed.

He did not bring soldiers to guard him, nor did he follow his subordinates.

So alone, he went straight to Cao Cao and Cao Ang, and it seemed that he became bolder all of a sudden.

"Shut up!"

At a distance of several zhang, Chen Gong reined in his horse and hovered, then quickly got off his horse and rushed to Cao Ang in two or three steps.

Holding Cao Ang's arms with both hands, he was full of excitement and said eagerly.

"Your Excellency is Cao Ang Cao Zixiu?"

"The loyal and loyal Cao Ang Cao Zixiu who, in front of all the officials in the court, turned the tide, supported the dignity of the Han Dynasty, and even confronted Dong Zhuo in court in order to protect the empress dowager and the emperor?"

Cao Ang realized!

He finally understood what caused Chen Gong's attitude to change so quickly.

It turned out that the reputation of Zhongliang in the Han Dynasty was passed on here!
At the court meeting, I had a moment of enthusiasm and resolutely stood up to confront Dong Zhuo's move, and now the benefits have been fully revealed.

As those people who experienced this matter continued to spread the news they knew to all directions, Cao Ang's reputation continued to spread far and wide.

Now it has arrived in Zhongmu County!
Even Chen Gong, the magistrate of Zhongmu County, knew that Cao Ang was a loyal and patriotic man.

A fierce man who dared to risk his life to confront a tyrannical person like Dong Zhuo for the dignity of the Han royal family.

Oops!

How embarrassing!

Presumably Chen Gong opened the city gate boldly and reassuringly because he knew Cao Ang's identity.

Because from Chen Gong's point of view, it is impossible for a loyal person like himself to lead a group of regular troops to do dirty things like looting the county town, so there is no need to worry about the imaginary situation at all.

tsk tsk!
Cao Ang couldn't help feeling emotional.

Fame is so useful!

I didn't do anything, I just reported my name, and people's attitude changed immediately.

There was also trust, and the wariness was eliminated, and everyone became good friends all of a sudden.

It took so much talking and so long to achieve the goal, but after reporting a name, the predicament was immediately solved.

Nothing to say!
From now on, I, Cao Ang, will be a die-hard patriot. Anyone who dares to say that I am not a big man and loyal, I will fight with my life!

…………

Facing Chen Gong's eager attitude.

Cao Ang held it instead.

He immediately put on a calm and breezy appearance, and waved his hands indifferently.

"I just made a small contribution, so I shouldn't be praised like this."

"Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the world is in danger, every official of the Han Dynasty should be loyal to the country."

"My ancestors lived on Han's salary and received the favor of the emperor. At this time of crisis, I should step forward to repay the trust and reuse of the heavenly family. What a shame!"

This said.

That's an awe-inspiring righteousness!
That's called being indifferent to fame and fortune.

I don't know whether others believe it or not, anyway, Chen Gong believed it, and the originally excited expression became very excited.

His face was full of admiration.

His eyes reveal a faint reverence and awe, and he admires such a man of lofty ideals from the bottom of his heart.

The Han Dynasty has such loyalty, so why worry about it?
Chen Gong immediately arched his hands forward, bent down to the end, and gave Cao Ang a big gift.

"Recently, I have heard of Cao Zixiu's name a lot, and today I finally see his true face, such a loyal and upright person, please accept the next bow!"

After being supported by Cao Ang.

Chen Gong realized that he and the others were talking in front of the city gate at the moment, so he slapped his forehead fiercely.

Then he said apologetically, "Before, there was really a large number of troops. I was worried about the safety of the people in the city, so I didn't dare to invite the two of you into the city."

"Now that you know that Your Excellency is the loyal and unparalleled Cao Zixiu, there is nothing to worry about. The trilogy you lead must be the teacher of justice!"

"So please bring your family and come into the city with me, and stay at my house tonight. I guarantee that the hospitality will be comprehensive and I won't neglect a few distinguished guests!"

All transformations come so easily.

Chen Gong had no worries at all.

Directly invite Cao Cao, father and son, and the family members of the Cao family to enter the city.

Of course, [-] troops can only be stationed outside the city. After all, such a large army entering the city, even if the military discipline is strict, will cause some chaos.

……

Looking at Chen Gong's sincere invitation.

The father and son looked at each other.

A slight smile appeared on Cao Ang's face.

"Then bother!"

Then Cao Cao turned around on his horse and went back to the place where the troops were resting, and asked his family to follow him into the city.

As for the big troops, they can only be wronged and stationed on the edge of the city, but fortunately, the closer to the edge of the city, the flatter the terrain, and the beasts are less likely to be infested, and they only need to guard against three directions, which is much more comfortable than camping in the wilderness .

Then everyone entered Zhongmou County under the guidance of Chen Gong.

Just when passing through the city gate.

Cao Cao looked left and right at the two city gates that were opened at the moment, and suddenly felt a little sore in his heart.
