June, the fourth year of Chuping.
As Cao Cao's power in Yanzhou became more stable, he could not stand it any longer, so he killed Bian Jean, a famous scholar in Chenliu, who had been ridiculing him with his talent and arrogance.
It is the time of spring, Cao Cao this day got advice, thinking of their own momentum is growing, but also attracted hatred, in reason, should not continue to let his father in the enemy is not a friend of Tao Qian's rule of refuge.
Why don't we bring Cao Song in Xuzhou to enjoy his old age, on the one hand, we are not afraid that when XuYanzhou and Yanzhou rise up, his father will be taken hostage, and on the other hand, he should also be well fed, so as not to fall short of filial piety.
Once Cao Cao had made up his mind, he was unwilling to wait slowly for the letters to come and go, so he sent Chen Gong, who had not uttered a word in the lineup lately and had been sulking all day long, to take a thousand men with him to explain the situation to the former lieutenant and persuade him to move.
Although he is Cao Song heir in the most promising one, but not the most favored, in his determination in his hometown to start a righteous army, tend to self-protection for the importance of Cao Song will quite disapprove of this move, that he is young and impetuous, do things lightly, I'm afraid that is not possible.
Even if the family has a lot of money, there is no intention to lend a helping hand, with money to support, but a long time ago with gold and silver, and more beloved another son of Cao De went to not be affected by the war in Xuzhou Langya refuge to go.
It is expected to wait for the heavy responsibility of Chen Gong rushed to Langya Cao Song residence, that has become mosquitoes and flies in the sky, the stench forced people to the sea of corpses, look at this situation, obviously from the day of the extermination of the family have been more than half a month, where to see half of the living people?
Chen Gong endure the fear, with the entourage into this is like a human purgatory in the Zhuangzi, through the corpse on the clothing worn and recognize that deformation, trying to find out Cao Song or escape from the traces of life, but the sky is not willing, the back wall was chopped into a meat slime brocade robes fat concubines blocked tight, and then go to the stinking thatched room to look for, is once ranked in the Nine Ministers, illustrious for a while Cao lieutenant's body of the place of the Chen.
Most of his body has been planted in the cesspit, before death, in addition to shock, but not suffer too much torture, but the neck received a sharp blow, there is a large gap, so as to kill.
Cao Song and his concubine that the rotting body near the burial, Chen Gong deliberately went to look at the hoard of money in the Treasury, see it door open, inside the gold beads and jade also disappeared, apparently a group of vicious, murderous bandits do.
The long-experienced attendants were all scared to death, and Chen Gong sighed deeply and stepped onto the road back to the city, looking at the green vegetable fields, his heart became more and more unfavorable.
Can imagine, when on the surface look magnanimous and open-minded, courtesy of the wise, but actually brutal ferocious, selfish Cao Cao heard the news, will be how furious, will do everything to take revenge on the Tao Qian, regardless of being implicated in the tragic destruction of living beings.
However, he is also difficult to protect himself, how can he have the spare capacity to fuck the head of the soon-to-be-afflicted Lishu?
Although he is an old minister, since Cao Cao, in order to eliminate future problems, even the wrongly killed family members of his former friend Bo Sheh also want to take the first step to solve the problem, is not really considerate of the old feelings, willing to be reasonable nature? And in terms of talent, his friend Bian Jean, who was well known for his erudition and eloquence, was also killed for speaking out of turn.
This worry once the beginning, the mind is extremely heavy Chen Gong is tossing and turning, day and night sleepless up, the more you think the more you feel that this is not a road back to life, but a road to death has been planned ah!
Given Cao Cao's suspicious nature, how could he not see that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Bian Jean's murder by remaining silent in the tent? How could he trust his father's life to him if he was suspicious of him?
Could it be that he knew about this, but deliberately concealed it, only to take advantage of this matter to get rid of him ......
Chen Gong, while shuddering, was like an enlightenment, and his heart shook violently.
In fact, the reason why Cao Cao assigned the important but easy task to Chen Gong is that he doesn't want this very talented strategist to remain silent, and it should be good to take a walk in the green; and secondly, it is to show the importance of the task and to put Chen Gong's mind at ease.
However, what Cao Cao missed is that his relationship with Chen Gong has fallen through the freezing point, after the death of Bian Jean, Chen Gong is even more rabbit death fox sadness, completely see through the Lord's cool nature, is half a bit of trust is not left.
These fearful suspicions, weekdays in the heart of the deep roots, this time to get Cao Song killed catalyzed, called Chen Gong subconsciously to the deepest malice to speculate on Cao Cao's motives, ruthless conspiracy theories a hand.
Chen Gong thought about it, in the end, refused to sit and wait for death for the initial recognition of people who are not clear, simply drilled the entourage know nothing about it, but also have not been defended against the empty, with some coins, and decisively to Xu County, Henan Province, to go.
And all the way in disguise, according to the plan secretly back to Xu County Yan Qing and others, is on the one hand, pay close attention to the news of the two places, on the other hand, secretly prepare for the military situation.
Only Yan Qing heard that was sent to Chen Gong instead of Ying Shao, but could not help but eat a shock, heart secretly pity for a while, think this time for fear that it is not possible like the history of that good luck, can be picked up for nothing to their own resourcefulness, but also understand Cao Cao's strategy is quite deep, and even comes with a large dowry of powerful strategist.
I did not expect the inertia of history is so powerful, although Chen Gong did not have time to unite the side of the rebellion, but with a weak scribe's body, with half a month, through the hardships from Xuzhou Langya all the way to Xu County.
"It is actually Gongtai who has come! Great joy!"
These days smothered in the Chamber of Commerce not to step out, in order to prevent the leakage of military intelligence seen by others, can only be gazetted by the personal vendetta of Jia Yan forced every day to deal with the official documents, busy deployment of the Bureau of Yan Qing is almost by the dull and heavy atmosphere of urgency to pressure to gasp for breath, suddenly heard that Cao Cao's tent as one of the counselors of the Chen Gong outside the request for a meeting with the Yuzhou special chieftain of Jia Yan, he couldn't help but face some more happy colors.
"What are you happy about?" Jia Dang gave Yan Qing, who was suspected of wanting to take the opportunity to be lazy, a furtive glance, "None of your business, get on with your work."
After saying this, he called the maidservant to freshen up her appearance and went to the outer hall to receive the other party.
Guo Jia's eyes were half-open and half-closed, when he glanced obliquely at Yan Qing, who was still happy, and yawned lazily: "How does Chongguang know that Chen Gongtai is not under Cao Cao's secret orders to test the reality of our army?"
Yan Qing shook his head, "If the one who came was the cunning Chen Yuanlong, that would be another story, but Brother Gongtai is a man who loves and hates clearly, and is upright and fiery, and he does not care to utilize these tricks."
Guo Jia said sourly, "Is Chongguang's love for others selfless, or is his love for others overflowing? How come you know everyone at first sight? Everywhere you go, you'll bump into one or two of your old favorites."
Yan Qing and his jokes used to open, but know that he is just casually cheap sentence, but the thought of a can not afford to joke about Lu Bu is sitting next to him, very easy to take the words seriously, the heart thumped, reprimanded: "Blindly say what!"
Lu Bu, who was personally maintaining his favorite bow with fragrant oil, raised his eyes slightly and said offhandedly, "This Chen family's Gongtai, is he the one who talked so much with Chongguang when he went to Cao's camp that time?"
"Lord has a good memory." Yan Qing first praised, but then had to correct himself, "How can we say it's a pleasure trip? Courtesy is the proper thing to do."
Lu Bu said calmly, "Oh~ what is he doing here in Xu for no reason?"
Guo Jia was also interested: "Look at Chong Guang's appearance, but he already knows Chen Gongtai's intention?"
Yan Qing glanced across him blandly, "Does Feng Xiao intend to ask for advice?"
Guo Jia faked a bow, "I wish to hear more."
"You're always like this, no wonder Yuan Zhi is always looking at you in a bad way." Yan Qing made a sarcastic remark, and then said, "Although he and Cao Cao knew each other from humble beginnings, due to their incompatible natures, they could only share the same poverty, but could not share the same wealth. When I saw him in the camp that time, I knew that he was quite disillusioned, and recently I heard that Bian Jean was beheaded by Cao Cao for some reason, so he interacted with him very closely, so he must feel the same way, so how could he treat Cao Cao as usual?"
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, "But Cao Cao is willing to make him send his family to Yanzhou, which shows trust, and it's not as discordant as you say."
Yan Qing laughed: "Feng Xiao is outside the Bureau, since it is clear, and Gongtai is in the Bureau, chest depression, like a bird in fear, fear is difficult to end of the day, plus Cao Song's tragic death of the bluff him, messed up, and how can he think quietly? Yes, don't forget that after he abandoned Cao, he was engaged in the East County, and Tao Qian quite thick, even two friends suffered, if he can calmly deal with it, then it is not Gongtai."
"I don't blame him for overthinking and being overly sensitive, because after seeing Cao Cao's ruthless and decisive methods, those who are fidgety and have rebelled are not the only ones."
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, "Oh?"
Yan Qing subconsciously glanced at Lu Bu, see him although pretending to be a cold and arrogant, half of these gossips are not interested in the situation, the hands pinch the paper scroll is half a day did not turn over, apparently breathless listening to the movement of this head.
He couldn't help but be slightly concerned, and only thoughtfully refrained from breaking it down, and then said, "There's also Chenliu Taishou Zhang Miao, his younger brother Zhang Chao, Engaged Zhonglang Xu Si, Wang Kai - My Lord, can you stop resting your legs on Qing's body? It's heavy."
He requested politely, and Lu Bu tucked his leg back in calmly.
Guo Jia shook his head, "Chong Guang in the phase of this unique vision, said these people, most of these people, Jia are convinced, but only this Chenliu Taishou Zhang Miao, Jia is not believe."
Yan Qing blinked, and laughed heatedly, "Want to bet?"
Zhang Miao's betrayal qualifies as outrageously stupid to any discerning eye.
Even if he has no eyes to see that Cao Cao has long been separated from Yuan Shao, and there is no possibility of taking his life at the other side's command, he should also see from the arrangements for Cao Cao's funeral before he rages and sends out his troops to Xuzhou to find Tao Qian, Cao Cao's trust in his best friend for many years can be said to have reached the extreme point of trusting him with his family's oldest and youngest children to take care of him.
In this world, in addition to Yan Qing, who knows history, I am afraid that only Chen Gong, who is in a similar situation, can see his deep-seated fear and provoke it.
Lu Bu suddenly wanted to join in, "What do you want to bet?"
"Does Lord also intend to?" Yan Qing guffawed, "Lord and Zhang Miao are old acquaintances, I think I know him better, so what do you think?"
Lu Bu paused and objectively evaluated, "Although he is a bit timid and afraid of death, he has a reputation for chivalry and is ultimately somewhat capable."
Yan Qing deepened his smile, "Bet?"
Lu Bu did not hesitate, "Bet!"
Guo Jia swept a glance at Yan Qing in disbelief, still not believing that there was really such a stupid and blind person in the world, and finally made up his mind, "Jia will also call the bet."
Yan Qing nodded slightly, then to seem amiable, actually called Guo Jia creepy gaze back and forth to measure them, as if looking at the two to be slaughtered fools fat sheep: "on whether Zhang Miao will rebel against Cao as a bet on the contract, if it really rebel, Feng Xiao will not be allowed to drink alcohol for a year, the Lord's words ...... "
Not letting an alcoholic drink for a year will make him miserable for a while, but it might be an opportunity to get Guo Jia to quit.
But Lu Bu's words, Yan Qing for a moment really do not want to come out: after all, it is his own crush, idol and in charge of life and death of the top boss, said heavy Lu Bu then can not do it will not be able to do it, may not be angry at him for proposing this bad idea; said light, but also appears to be watered down seriously, Guo Jia even if the wisdom of the protests do not open their mouths, Lu Bu does not seem to be happy to accept this difference in treatment.
As if seeing Yan Qing's difficulties, Lu Bu abruptly opened his mouth, seemingly to help him, but more like a thunderbolt thrown down from the ground, when it was a shock to all four seats.
Even Guo Jia's eyes, which had narrowed in anger due to Yan Qing's sinister intentions, were shocked by these words, but Lu Bu was calm and unperturbed: "If Bu loses, he will not be allowed to marry a woman for ten years."

What a fun dream I had last night that I wanted to share with you guys.

The protagonist is shocked at first, but soon accepts it because the vacuum cleaner hottie is so good to her and holds her up like a god, that without realizing it, the two fall in love.

Then he energized his plugs and was super long-lasting, doing it all night before SHE came out. But SHE when the girl was stunned stunned - yes, SHE into the body is all the dust she bought back on the first day when she inhaled, even including a short stocking ......
