When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 281: Lü Boshe Appears

"Gongtai, is Zixiao okay?"

Cao Cao, who was covered in dust, cast a concerned look at Cao Ren and Chen Gong. When he saw the two men shaking their heads to indicate that they were nothing serious, he finally felt relieved.

He sighed, "I regret not listening to Gongtai's advice!"

Developments are often beyond expectations.

They rode at full speed and arrived at Yangcheng overnight, but they received news that Liu Bei's army had already set out.

Cao Cao was so anxious that his heart had already drifted far away with the wind. He did not listen to Chen Gong's dissuasion, and after finding out the direction of Liu Bei's march, he rushed there without stopping.

Chen Gong and Cao Cao had been spending the past few days together and had very pleasant conversations with each other, and they regarded each other as close friends. Moreover, Cao Cao's patriotism moved him greatly, so how could he abandon Cao Cao and go away? He could only sigh and get on his horse.

As for Cao Ren: Whatever my brother says is what it is.

The three men and a dozen riders encountered a cavalry unit of Dong's army on the way. They were not capable of defeating the cavalry unit of Dong's army. Even though Cao Cao's dozen riders risked their lives to intercept them, they could only buy them some time to escape.

The good news is that Dong’s cavalry did not choose to pursue, and the three of them were not seriously injured.

The bad news is that most of their knights were killed, and even those who survived were injured to varying degrees. Several people could not get together four good horses.

What's worse is that the sun is setting, the sky is filled with dimness, and the night is about to fall. By then, it will be pitch dark. Without torches, they will be like headless flies. If they light torches, they will be too big a target and carry a lot of injuries. Aren't they like meat on the chopping board?
Cao Ren had always been ruthless. He avoided Chen Gong's sight, walked to Cao Cao's side, and whispered in his ear, "Brother, these wounded will definitely hinder you and me. I think it would be better to order them to continue to go deep into the enemy's territory and attract Dong's army for us. We will return to Yingchuan first and then make plans. What do you think?"

If it were in the past, even when he was young, Cao Cao could decisively abandon these wounded soldiers, but after the last agreement with Liu Bei, he made up his mind not to go against his conscience and not abandon his bottom line.

Xunzi said: Human nature is evil at the beginning.

Kindness can be acquired through learning, doing and doing.

If we continue to do small evils, how can we talk about kindness? !

How can I face Brother Xuande decades later?

Therefore, Cao Cao flatly rejected Cao Ren's
"Zixiao, haven't you heard what the people of Yangcheng said? Brother Xuande heard that Dong Min was going to massacre the city, so he rushed thousands of miles to help. The people of Yangcheng are not Brother Xuande's relatives, which shows how broad-minded Brother Xuande is! What's more, the knights were injured for me, so how could I bear to abandon them?"

Cao Cao's voice was not loud, but his tone was deafening to Cao Ren.

This made Cao Ren stunned. You know, in the past, Cao Cao felt at ease even if he peeked at a widow taking a bath. How come he seemed like a different person after returning from Luoyang?

Is Cao Cao deceiving him?

Cao Ren secretly glanced at Cao Cao's face. Cao Cao's face was extremely determined, even with a hint of anger.

Cao Ren, Cao Cao's cousin, could tell at a glance that Cao Cao did not seem to be lying.

Strange, strange
Suddenly, Cao Ren remembered that after Cao Cao returned home from Luoyang, he immediately went to look for an uncle in the clan. This uncle was really annoying. When they were young, whenever they made any mistakes, this uncle was the first to know about it, and then he told their parents. Cao Ren was punished several times for this, and he hated him so much.

Fortunately, Cao Cao taught this uncle a lesson, and the uncle who had been deceived lost face in front of their parents. From then on, their parents did not believe anything this uncle said.

For a time, Cao Cao became the object of pursuit among the young men in the clan.

Therefore, Cao Ren thought that after so many years, Cao Cao's hatred had not subsided and he wanted to take revenge on his uncle. Even Cao Ren was panicked. After all, he was his uncle and it had been a long time since the incident. Why should he do this?

So Cao Ren didn't bother to put on his clothes and came to his uncle's door in just a single piece of clothing, but saw Cao Cao being kicked out by his uncle with his head lowered. He wanted to go forward and ask what was going on, but unexpectedly his uncle Cao Song sent someone to drag Cao Cao back home.

Full of curiosity, Cao Ren came to his uncle Cao Song's house and heard a sound that made him open his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Pa!" Cao Ren was very familiar with this sound; it was the sound of shoes hitting the buttocks!

In an instant, Cao Ren's computer crashed.

He didn't understand how serious a crime Cao Cao had committed that required Cao Song to take action.

Not long after, a rumor spread widely among the clan, which roughly said that Cao Cao had harmed his uncle when he was young, and now he has come to his senses and is only seeking his uncle's forgiveness.

The whole clan praised Cao Cao for his ability to admit his mistakes and correct them, and held him up as an example of a prodigal son who returns home.

Cao Ren suddenly realized that he was doing this to become famous! He was indeed a brother who could easily accomplish something that someone else could not do!

But looking back now, Cao Ren always felt that his idea at that time was wrong. He stared at Cao Cao in a daze, and always felt like it was the first day he met Cao Cao.

What on earth is there in Luoyang? My brother no longer acts like a brother!

Just when Cao Ren was stunned.

Chen Gong noticed the two men's movements and walked over to Cao Cao and asked, "Brother Meng De, why are you looking around? I wonder what your next plan is."

"Public platform"

Cao Cao retracted his gaze, and he seemed to be much more relaxed. He smiled at Chen Gong and said:
"I felt this place looked familiar just now. I looked carefully and confirmed that this place was close to the home of my father's friend."

"Your father's friend?"

"Yes, this man's surname is Lu, his name is Boshe, and he is in the farm a few miles ahead!" Cao Cao laughed, "Dong Jun didn't see our faces clearly. We are cautious and I don't think we will bring any danger to Uncle Lu!"

Chen Gong thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement. He nodded and said, "Brother Meng De, please lead the way."

"Gongtai, Zixiao, please follow me." Cao Cao made a gesture of invitation.

When Cao Ren came to his senses, he saw Cao Cao and Chen Gong had already walked some distance away. He hurriedly shouted:

"Brother! Gongtai! Wait for me!"

"Ah, Meng De, you were just a kid when I last saw you, but now your beard is so thick."

Lü Bushe's face was full of sighs, as if he was recalling the glorious days of the past.

"Just... I wonder if your father is okay?"

"Uncle, my father always misses you, but he is too busy to be with you!" Cao Cao exchanged a few pleasantries and asked, "Uncle, I wanted to go find my good friend, but I encountered gangsters on the way, and even the knights who were escorting me were seriously injured, so I disturbed you."

Lü Bushe laughed, held Cao Cao's hand and patted it gently.
"Brother Jugao and I have known each other for a long time, and we are as close as brothers. Meng De should just treat it as returning home, returning to his own home."

Jugao is the courtesy name of Cao Song.

After saying this, Lü Bushe stood up and looked like he was about to walk out of the house. This made Cao Ren's heart alarmed. He asked cautiously, "Uncle Lü, what are you doing?"

Cao Cao shouted, "A filial son must not be rude!"

Lu Bushe waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Didn't Meng De bring a few injured people? There is a doctor nearby with superb medical skills. I will ask him to treat them."
