Be aware that Dong Zhuo is surrounded by experts. Wanting to assassinate Dong Zhuo is by no means an easy task.
is not a whim of and , or can be achieved by one-sided courage.
It is clear that Cao Cao is not on a whim, he is courageous and resourceful.
It's a pity that the assassination attempt was unsuccessful. In order to save his life, he acted on a whim, saying that he was going to offer a knife to Dong Zhuo, and then he slipped away at an opportunity.
2Cao Mengde met Chen Gong
Later, he failed to escape and was caught by a small county magistrate named Chen Gong.
That county magistrate was going to cut off his head and give it to Dong Zhuo, so that he could get a big reward.
According to Chen Gong's own words, it will be money that he will never spend in his life.
Money is exciting no matter when and where.
How much money can a small county magistrate make in a year? If there is no greed and no robbing, how much richer can you be than the common people?
It can be seen from Chen Gong's words that since he became an official, he has never seen any big money.
Poverty is a scary thing, and people at the bottom of society are all afraid of poverty.
Even though Chen Gong became an official and got rid of the bottom, but in a small county, he was very close to the common people, and naturally he would not forget those hardships.
If you dedicate Cao Cao's head to Dong Zhuo, it will be an opportunity for him to make a fortune. Maybe Dong Zhuo will give him a promotion official position if he is happy.
However, such a good opportunity to turn over was in front of him, but he gave up.
Because he listened to Cao Cao's words, he felt that Cao Cao is a person who has ambition and , and can make great achievements in the future.
So he decided not to kill Cao Cao, and he also gave up his post as county magistrate. After
settled the family , he followed Cao Cao back to and left .
are adults, and their decisions are not made on a whim.
Chen Gong gave up his official position, left his family, and wanted to follow Cao Cao. Not only did he admire Cao Cao's courage and ambition, he also needed courage.
Changes the direction of life in the middle, and the outcome is unpredictable.
So Chen Gong must also have a balance.
3Chen Gong parted ways with Cao Cao
It's a pity that he still doesn't know enough about Cao Cao.
An incident happened on the way to Chen stay, which made Chen Gong have another view on Cao Cao.
Cao Mengde is not lacking in ambition, but not benevolence and .
They escaped to the house of a friend of Cao Cao's father.
Cao Cao called the old owner of the house Lu Boshe .
It can be seen from Lu Boshe's actions that he is more hospitable.
saw Cao Cao coming, he greeted his son to arrange a place for Cao Cao and them.
He was old, but he worked tirelessly and rushed to the market to buy them food and drink and entertain them.
Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, not to mention some of the things he has encountered in the past few days make it difficult for him to trust others.
He heard the sound of sharpening knives in his sleep, and words from outsiders reached his ears, making him think that Lu Boshe's family was going to kill him.
So he rushed out with Chen Gong and killed the family in panic and fear. After
killed people, they found out that the family was killing pigs to entertain them.
However, it was too late, and it was too late. Cao Cao decided to leave Lu Boshe's house.
On the way, he encountered Lu Boshe who was rushing back to buy food and wine. Cao Cao was afraid that Lu Boshe would report to the official, so he simply killed Lu Boshe.
Chen Gong said, killing Lu Boshe's family was already a mistake, why did he kill Lu Boshe?
Cao Cao said, "I would rather be blamed by the world than teach the world to blame me!" (Cao Cao, are you a Scorpio?)
For his great cause, benevolence, righteousness and morality have little meaning in his eyes.
His concept is that strength is the most important in troubled times.
has the strength, even without benevolence and righteousness, he can make a way out.
is empty talk of benevolence and righteousness, without strength, you can only watch others arrogant, and you can only be trampled under your feet.
So his goal is to make himself powerful. Everything else can be ignored.
After Chen Gong saw the sinister side of Cao Cao's temperament, he thought that this person was not a good person.
wanted to kill Cao Cao while he was sleeping, so that the whole world could suffer.
But he is a man of benevolence, righteousness and soft heart.
Finally, he stuck the dagger in a tree trunk and abandoned Cao Cao overnight.
4Cao Cao: Maybe I can't have close friends, but I'm not afraid of being lonely.
Cao Cao opened his eyes and knew that Chen Gong had left.
He said: I know that in this life, I, Cao Mengde, will no longer have close friends, but I am not afraid of loneliness.
From this, it can be seen that he regards Chen Gong as a close friend.
is just a different way. He has his own principles, and others have their own ideas. When the two ideas conflict and no one wants to change, they can only go their separate ways.
In fact, it is not just Chen Gong, it would be chilling for others to see Cao Cao killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Cao Cao was really selfish and ruthless in doing that, but he wanted to hurry back to Chen Liu to recruit troops, so he had to quickly resolve the wrong thing.
As for the sacrifices of Lu Boshe's family, just treat them as what Cao Mengde owes them and pay them back in the next life.
A person who loves talents like Cao Cao will have some regrets for Chen Gong's departure.
was just, soon overshadowed by the grand ambitions in his heart.
