After Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, he was captured by Ling Chen Gong of Zhongmu County. Above the lobby, Chen Gong ostensibly sneered at Cao Cao, saying that he would prepare a large altar and present Cao Cao's head to the imperial court early tomorrow morning. But at this time, Chen Gong's heart was full of great admiration for Cao Cao.
Although he admired it, he still couldn't figure out that Dong Zhuo had always been kind to Cao Cao, so why Cao Cao would assassinate Dong Zhuo. With this question in mind, Chen Gong personally went to the cell to ask for the truth. Unexpectedly, after Cao Cao's flickering, Chen Gong rose directly from admiration to top worship.
At this time, in chen gong's eyes, Cao Cao was a brave and resourceful superhero. He could have carried Cao Cao's head to receive thousands of gold and become the Marquis of Chen Palace, but at this time he made up his mind to join Cao Cao in the army against Dong Zhuo. Therefore, at dawn, Chen Gong abandoned his wife, secretly bid farewell to the county court, and followed Cao Cao back to his hometown to raise troops in order to achieve great cause.
In this way, Cao Cao and Chen Gong were on the wanted orders of the counties along the way, and the road was plastered with wanted notices, and the future was uncertain, and even peeing had to find a secluded place where people were rarely visited. Since you can't find a place to stay, you can simply sit down in the wilderness, analyze the situation, and discuss the big plan. In the prison of Zhongmu County, Cao Cao had already put chen gong in the clouds and fog, and at this time he began to use his three inches of uncorrupted tongue to create his own people who were insightful and far-sighted.
Chen Gong admired the five bodies thrown to the ground, willing to follow Cao Cao, saddle before and after the horse, and went to the Tang Dynasty. But after all, Cao Chen and the two were already hungry and cold, and they hadn't eaten for two days, but now they didn't even have a place to rest. When he was worried, Cao Cao suddenly rose up in a small county town called Chenggao County, and there lived a person named Lü Bohao, who was Cao Cao's father's brother-in-law. Arriving at the door of Lü Bohao's house, Cao Cao declared his name.
The kind and enthusiastic Lü Bohao, seeing that his nephew was coming, hurried out to greet him, and instructed Jia Ding to prepare wine and good food and entertain well.
While Lü Bohao's family was preparing wine and dishes to entertain Cao Cao, Chen Gong heard the sound of sharpening knives outside. Cao Cao, who was naturally suspicious, thought that the gang was going to plot against him, so he decided to kill the courtyard and escape.
This corresponds to Cao Cao's words, I would rather bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me.
