Cao Cao was really sour.
What do you think this is?
The father is not as well-known as his son, and he is not as well-connected as his son when he is away from home.
It is understandable to say that if I have already taken care of my old age at home, I cannot compare to my son who is in his prime.
But he himself is also serving in the court, and he is only in his thirties now. On the contrary, his son is still young and has not experienced many years of worldly life.
As a result, I was severely beaten today!
This really made him extremely ashamed.
Cao Cao didn't want to compare with his son. After all, they were all a family, and Cao Ang was also his closest relative. Everything he owned in the future would be his, and there was no comparison with something as empty as fame.
But he is sour! ! !
After explaining so much and reassuring himself a hundred times, he still couldn't help but feel a slight sour taste in his heart.
He is a dignified prefect of a county. He had previously served as a right-centered general, and had held many high-ranking official positions earlier. He was considered a well-known and promising person.
As a result, the county magistrate named Chen Gong in front of him had no reaction at all after hearing his name, and had no idea who he was.
He only showed some courtesy and respect that a prefect should have, and no more was needed.
And when he asked to go into the city to rest for a night, Chen Gong used various excuses to shirk the request and did not give in at all. Anyway, the city gate would not open.
It doesn’t matter where you are the governor of the place, or what kind of moral character you are, you just won’t open it.
Well, it’s okay if you don’t open the door.
It can only be said that this guy is timid and cautious.
Then you should treat everyone equally!
How could you be so arrogant before and respectful later?
Why did he show such respect and respect after hearing my son's name?
Ang'er didn't even need to speak.
Chen Gong took the initiative to invite the whole family to the city to rest, and even lived directly in the county government office.
Should the difference in treatment be made so obvious?
Double Standard is a real dog!
Of course, although there was sadness in his heart, there were some things that Cao Cao knew clearly. His son's good reputation was not easy to come by, and he couldn't envy him.
At that time, there were so many civil and military officials in the court meeting, but no one dared to stand up and lift up the Queen Mother and the Emperor who were kneeling on the ground. No one had the courage to face Dong Zhuo's murderous intent.
Even though he had always claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and dared to throw his life and blood, he did not dare to act recklessly in that situation, and he did not dare to speak of courage at all.
But my son dares!
Not only did he dare to do this, he also successfully made Dong Zhuo back down. Dong Zhuo was speechless and could only express that he was wrong.
This requires not only courage, but also wisdom.
A fearless spirit is required!
Therefore, his precious son truly deserves the good reputation he has today that is resounding throughout the world.
On the other hand, although I had the merit of rescuing the emperor, firstly, the risk was less than confronting Dong Zhuo in court. Secondly, there were not many witnesses and it was not widely spread.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Chen Gong does not know himself and has no reaction to his name, Cao Mengde.
After comforting myself like this.
Cao Cao finally felt better.
But still smelling sour, he followed Cao Ang into Zhongmu County.
…………
Zhongmu County is not a small county.
At least the county office where Chen Gong lives is not small.
Cao Cao and his entire family arranged their rooms properly, and Cao Ang even let Queen Mother He and her carriage drive directly into the county government office, and after dispersing the others, they moved in quietly.
Only Cao Ang has this kind of treatment.
If it had been anyone else, Chen Gong would not have been so easy to talk to.
After each taking a bath.
The wind and sand all over my body caused by running around for days were finally completely washed away by the warmth of hot water.
The exhaustion all over the body disappeared without a trace after complete relaxation, and was replaced by a clean and refreshing feeling that invigorated people.
After changing clothes.
Several members of Cao Cao's family appeared at the banquet prepared by Chen Gong.
To be precise, it was a family dinner.
There were no singing and dancing, and no silk and bamboo performances. Chen Gong even invited his wife to have a meal together to show the closeness between the two parties.
Had dinner.
Chen Gong invited everyone to drink tea in the teahouse, and the female family members could take a walk in the county government office under the leadership of his wife.
However, Mrs. Ding and Diao Chan were a little tired after all, so they simply went back to their rooms and rested early.
Zhang Liao and Xun Yu knew somewhat wisely that Chen Gong mainly invited Cao Cao and Cao Ang, but they were not able to participate, so they excused themselves from being tired and went back to the room.
After there were only three people left in the tea room.
Chen Gong first boiled tea on the stove, and soon poured a bowl for each of the father and son.
Three rounds like this.
The conversation between them became lively.
Seeing that everyone has developed a friendship and become familiar with each other, I can ask some questions.
Chen Gong then cupped his hands and clasped his fists at the two of them, and then said with a questioning look on his face: "I have been living in Zhongmou for a long time, and there is no information. If it weren't for the exchange of letters from friends and the passing of the caravan, I wouldn't know many things."
"May I ask how the situation is in Luoyang now?"
As soon as this statement came out.
The originally smiling faces of the father and son suddenly stopped smiling and turned into a somewhat heavy look.
"well!"
Cao Cao sighed.
He shook his head helplessly with a bitter look on his face.
"The situation is not optimistic. Dong Zhuo has now taken control of the entire city of Luoyang. All the officials in the court are impressed by his power. There is no objection from the government and the public. Very few people dare to risk their lives and body to go against Dong Zhuo."
"What's more, the emperor chosen by the late emperor himself has been deposed by Dong Zhuo and replaced by a little kid who is only a few years old. He is not even a puppet."
"Dong Zhuo is really no different from the emperor!"
What I said is that the situation is very serious.
Chen Gong felt cold when he heard this.
My whole body felt numb.
Dong Zhuo is nothing more than a treasonous person. This is the consensus of almost everyone at this moment.
But if Dong Zhuo is allowed to exercise the power of the emperor on behalf of the emperor, giving orders and commanding the officials, what if everyone gets used to it over time?
This is definitely a scary thing!
The power of habit is very powerful.
If more people get used to it, no one will stand up to oppose Dong Zhuo, and even those who stand up as righteous people will be accused of undermining the stability of the world.
Therefore, this habit must be broken before it is formed, and Dong Zhuo must be pulled down before he gradually replaces the Emperor of Han, otherwise it will be too late.
…
Chen Gong felt a little heavy.
Dong Zhuo was so wreaking havoc in Luoyang that he regarded the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty as nothing, and did not take the heroes of the world in his eyes.
But he, Chen Gong, could do nothing about it.
"well!"
A sense of helplessness and despair suddenly surged into his heart, causing Chen Gong to sigh involuntarily.
Right now.
Cao Ang, who was originally silent, suddenly put down the tea bowl, then frowned and shouted.
"A great man, if you don't think about killing thieves and serving the country, you just sigh here, what's the point?!"
Cao Ang's sudden scolding immediately stunned Chen Gong.
Somewhat unclear.
But he soon thought of Cao Ang's status as a loyal and patriotic man, and felt that it was quite reasonable.
Understood!
Such a person with lofty ideals who is devoted to the country and loyal to the country must be full of blood and passion.
He was definitely thinking about killing the Dong thieves, serving the country, and eradicating silverfish problems for the Han Dynasty.
And when he sighed just now, he indeed seemed quite decadent and depressed. He seemed to have lost hope for the future and had a pessimistic view on killing the Dong thief.
So Cao Ang scolded himself on the spot.
Wake yourself up from your confusion.
Let him continue to maintain his fighting spirit and his infinite enthusiasm for the great ideal of slaying the traitors and reviving the Han Dynasty.
What a great mentor!
If this person had been born thirty years earlier, why would the Han Dynasty have declined to this point? Perhaps the Han Dynasty would have reappeared long ago!
What Dong Zhuo, Zhang Rang and their ilk are worthless!
What a pity, what a pity!
Cao Ang didn't know that his scolding just now caused Chen Gong so much inner drama, and that he had inexplicably become Optimus Prime, the great man who could revive the Han Dynasty thirty years earlier.
The human heart is really hard to fathom.
He simply wanted to use this method to move the topic to the next channel.
That is, how to deal with Dong Zhuo, what kind of efforts the father and son made to deal with Dong Zhuo, and what kind of help you, Chen Gong, can do.
Only by changing the topic to this angle can it be easier to abduct this guy Chen Gong.
…
Chen Gong also lived up to Cao Ang's expectations.
After figuring out why Cao Ang scolded him, and realizing his good intentions.
A look of shame immediately appeared on his face.
Just as he was about to sigh, he suddenly remembered that he had been scolded just because of his sigh.
He quickly handed it over instead.
Then he said to Cao Ang with a wry smile: "What Zixiu taught me is that a true man should do his best to serve the country. How can he lament in vain and feel depressed? It is indeed inappropriate."
"I'm just a mere county magistrate, and I only have such a small area under my control. As for the available soldiers, there are very few. Even if I try my best to recruit soldiers in Zhongmu County, I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit many young men. It can be said to be a drop in the bucket. .”
"Faced with Dong Zhuo's power, my personal strength is still too weak. When I think that I may not be able to kill Dong Zhuo with my own abilities, I will inevitably feel sad."
Chen Gong sighed with emotion.
Cao Ang, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly had a subtle smile on his face.
very good!
Chen Gongtai has already half-joined my entrepreneurial team and is just waiting for the finishing touch.
He immediately pressed his hands on the tea table and leaned forward slightly, making an extremely oppressive posture.
Then he slowed down his speech and said in a solemn tone: "Individual power is small, so why not unite? As the saying goes, when we gather sand to form a tower, and our armpits form fur, if we all pile firewood together, the fire will burn brighter!"
"You can't defeat Dong Zhuo on your own. It doesn't matter. Join us and join hands with my father and son. Together we will grow stronger faster."
"And if everyone in the world is as united as you and me, Dong Zhuo will be nothing more than a withered bone in a grave. He will be killed sooner or later!"
There was a "boom"!
Cao Ang's words sounded like a bell in Chen Gong's mind.
yes!
If the strength of one person is not enough, what about the strength of the whole world?
Although you are insignificant, you should not belittle yourself. If you can join other people's team and contribute even a little bit of effort, the possibility of killing Dong Zhuo's traitors will be greater.
As long as everyone in the world thinks so, Dong Zhuo can just snap his finger and decide, so what's the point?
Cao Ang's words were extremely inflammatory.
It was easy to arouse the dryness in Chen Gong's heart, and his blood immediately surged.
Don't talk about Chen Gong.
Even Cao Cao, who had been listening quietly on the side, was excited and eager to start a big career right away.
Although Cao Ang once told him that Dong Zhuo was just a withered bone in the grave and would soon be eliminated.
But when things came to an end, Cao Cao still felt passionate in his heart when he heard his son analyze again.
I couldn't help but feel a little high-spirited.
It seems that he saw the day when Dong Zhuo was executed by his own Chen Palace and the Han Dynasty was revived.
All of a sudden.
The two middle-aged men in the tea room were all aroused by Cao Ang's words, and their minds began to have unlimited imagination.
…
After a long time.
Chen Gong calmed down.
After recalling what Cao Ang had just said, his eyes showed excitement and he hurriedly asked: "Just now Zixiu asked me to join you. Could it be that Xian and his son already have a big plan to defeat Dong?"
Cao Ang nodded.
A big wave of his hand.
He said with a heroic tone: "This time my father and son left Luoyang for Jiyin County, we just want to take this opportunity to stay away from Dong Zhuo's hijacking, go to the local area to recruit troops, prepare an army, and strengthen our own strength."
"When the opportunity comes, we will raise the banner of crusade against Dong Zhuo, send a message to all states and counties, and invite the world's heroes to kill the national traitor."
"No matter how strong Dong Zhuo was at that time, he could only turn into powder in the face of the overwhelming force!"
Speaking of which.
Cao Ang paused for a moment.
Then he softened his tone slightly, frowned slightly, and said with some distress: "Unfortunately, there is a lack of manpower now, and many things can only be done slowly, so I just asked Gongtai to join us and work together to achieve a great cause!"
Facing Cao Ang's call.
Chen Gong's heart moved.
He raised his head and looked at Cao Ang first, and then at Cao Cao beside him, and a sense of mission suddenly arose.
It seems that joining the Cao family, building a foundation together, raising troops to resist Dong Zhuo, and killing the traitors is the most important thing to do at this moment.
Chen Gong suddenly turned over and stood up from his position without saying a word.
Quickly come to the center of the tea room.
Then he arched his hands forward, bowed to Cao Ang and Cao Cao, and spoke impassionedly with a sonorous tone.
"If you don't give up, I'm willing to follow you!"
"I would like to leave this county magistrate and go to Jiyin County with you two to carry out important events, recruit troops and horses, spread the word to the world, and kill the traitor Dong together!"
"Uh-huh!"
The father and son moved in unison.
One left and one right stood up from both sides of the tea table.
He ran to Chen Gong in a few steps, and with a tacit understanding, one person grabbed an arm and helped Chen Gong up.
"The position of county magistrate is hard-won. Is Gongtai really willing to give up this position?"
Cao Cao was actually happy for a long time.
But he still had to ask again.
The more this happened, the stronger Chen Gong's will became, and he waved his hand towards Cao Cao without hesitation.
"Please don't say anything else, sir. I have made up my mind. It is my great honor to be able to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo together with two such loyal, brave and benevolent men. How can I regret being a county magistrate?"
When Cao Ang heard this, his eyes flashed with joy.
Everything is under control!
Another member of the entrepreneurial team has been added to the team, and now he is even more powerful and can fly!
He patted the back of Chen Gong's hand with some excitement.
"My father and son can get help from the public, so there is no need to worry about failure. With our concerted efforts, Dong Zhuo will not be able to survive the scabies, and the world will be saved sooner or later!"
