How can I get away with my food and grass in hand?
As long as Chen Kang and Cao Cao walk out of the military tent, I believe they will be swallowed up by the swordsmen immediately.
Chen Kang said: "My lord, you and General Cao Hong will go ahead with their supplies. I will stay and drink tea with Yuan Shu."
If Cao Cao and Cao Hong were attacked, Chen Kang would not hesitate to kill Yuan Shu.
Chen Kang stayed to contain Yuan Shu and asked Yuan Shao to throw a rat weapon.
Cao Cao secretly said: "Chen Kang, you are a loyal man. Cao will never let Chen Kang down in the future."
Cao Cao and Cao Hong led people to leave with food and grass.
Yuan Shao said: "Chen Kang, Cao Mengde has left safely, can you let Yuan Qiao go?"
Chen Kang put away his sword and said with a smile: "The alliance leader is right. I was just joking with General Yuan Gulu. Don't be nervous, everyone. Let's sit down. Drink when it's time to drink, and eat meat when it's time to eat meat."
Yuan Shu glared at Chen Kang and said: "Chen Kang, some jokes cannot be made. If you do this, you are inviting disaster for Cao Mengde."
Chen Kang said: "If you don't have food and grass, you will die immediately. If you have food and grass, you can still hang on. We will talk about the future matters later. However, I advise General Yuan Gongli not to have other thoughts. Within five steps, I can always Take someone’s head.”
Chen Kang was within five steps of Yuan Shu.
In a short period of time, Chen Kang will follow Yuan Shu and cannot let Yuan Shu leave his sight.
The various princes present had no favorable impressions of Chen Kang.
Chen Kang directly drew his sword and threatened Yuan Shu. It was the following offense and the nature was too bad.
If everyone behaves like Chen Kang, wouldn't it put everyone in danger?
How can the princes have a sense of security?
If Chen Kang leaves Cao Cao in the future, the princes will no longer be able to accept him.
Chen Kang's actions today are essentially the same as Lu Bu's patricide, and they will only get a bad reputation.
But Chen Kang doesn't care about notoriety and good reputation.
Notoriety, that is also a name.
In short, it is better than being unknown.
…
More than ten days later.
Dong Zhuo and the young emperor withdrew from Luoyang, abandoned the city and fled to Chang'an City.
Before leaving, Dong Zhuo ordered the city of Luoyang to be burned down.
He wanted to leave a ruined and white land to the coalition of princes.
It has to be said that Dong Zhuo is no longer cruel, but crazy.
Sun Jian and Cao Cao were the first to advance into the city.
Chen Kang found Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said excitedly: "Chen Kang, you are finally back. I have been worried about you. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao didn't do anything to you, right?"
Chen Kang said: "I stared at Yuan Shu for more than ten days, making him unable to eat or sleep well. I found an opportunity and escaped."
In fact, not only Yuan Shu had not eaten well and slept well in the past ten days, but also Chen Kang could not rest normally.
Trapped alone in the enemy camp, even with Yuan Shu as a hostage, Chen Kang was still walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded and killed by the army.
Cao Cao patted Chen Kang on the shoulder and said happily: "It'll be good to come back."
Chen Kang said: "My lord, are you going to hunt down Dong Zhuo?"
Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's right. As long as we continue to pursue and make Dong Zhuo panic, we will have a chance to rescue the emperor."
Chen Kang said: "Lord, stop chasing. Dong Zhuo has more than 100,000 elite Xiliang troops under his command. They are evacuating, not fleeing. The coalition of princes is not united. Even if they have more troops than Dong Zhuo, they are just a bunch of rabble. If my lord continues to pursue us, I am afraid we will lose our troops. It would be a pity if the team that we finally gathered together is scattered."
People like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others are pig teammates and will only hold us back.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "You are right. If we continue to pursue him, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. However, this time I took advantage of the opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo. In the end, I fell short. I am really unwilling to do so."
Chen Kang said: "Take your time. Since the turmoil of the Yellow Turban Army, the foundation of the Han Dynasty has been shaken. Next, the princes will fight for hegemony, and it will return to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was actually an emperor.
But no princes would listen to the orders of the "Emperor Zhou".
Dong Zhuo could replace the emperor with just one sentence. It could be said that he threw the dignity of the royal emperor to the ground and trampled it under his feet.
From now on, princes from all walks of life will greatly reduce their respect for talent.
Cao Cao said: "I thought that by getting rid of Dong Zhuo, the government would be restored and the world would be stable."
Chen Kang said: "My lord, give up your illusions. If you want to survive in troubled times, you have to have more people, more food, and more territory."
Cao Cao was stunned and laughed: "Chen Kang, you have great foresight. There are many people, more food, and a large territory! From now on, this is Cao's goal."
Chen Kang said: "My lord, do you know where the library of the palace is?"
Cao Cao nodded and said: "I know. I have been hanging out in Luoyang since I was a boy, and I am very familiar with the palace. I will take you there."
Chen Kang and Cao Cao hurried to the palace library.
Most of the library has been burned down, but fortunately a part of it has been preserved.
Chen Kang said coldly: "Dong Zhuo, damn it. Books are the carrier of knowledge and civilization. He was cruel enough to burn them with fire. If I have the chance, I will definitely kill Dong Zhuo."
Chen Kang felt very distressed when he saw those bamboo slips burned to white ash.
Many of the books in the palace library are single copies. If they are burned, they are completely lost.
Perhaps the burned books contained the martial arts skills Chen Kang needed.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Kang again. He didn't expect that Chen Kang turned out to be a book lover.
Others rushed into Luoyang to put out fires and rescue property, but also to pick up leaks in the hope of finding treasures.
Chen Kang rushed directly to the library of the palace.
Cao Cao said: "I will ask Zixiao to bring people to organize these books."
Chen Kang nodded and said: "Lord, let's take all the surviving books back. The knowledge and wisdom in the books are the greatest wealth."
…
All the eighteen princes entered Luoyang City.
Luoyang is an imperial city after all. Even if part of it is burned down, it is still out of reach in the hearts of everyone.
Some conflicts that everyone had accumulated before finally broke out.
In order to compete for property, princes from all walks of life constantly clashed.
A girl dressed in palace maid's clothes and carrying a package wanted to escape from the palace.
She was stopped by Sun Jian.
The girl was frightened and the package fell, revealing the imperial seal inside.
Sun Jian's eyes lit up and he was excited.
This is the national jade seal!
Sun Jian picked up the imperial seal and couldn't put it down.
Come to your senses.
Sun Jian drew his sword and prepared to kill the girl. He must not let other princes know about the fact that he has obtained the imperial seal.
"stop."
Chen Kang and Cao Cao came over.
Chen Kang said: "Sun Wentai, how can you kill a young palace maid? Killing the weak does not make you a hero."
Sun Jian put the imperial seal behind him for fear of being seen by Chen Kang and Cao Cao.
Sun Jian smiled and said: "I didn't expect you, Chen Kang, to be a compassionate person. This little palace lady is indeed extremely beautiful. Since you want this little beauty, I'll give it to you."
Sun Jian took the people and left.
Cao Cao said: "Sun Wentai's performance just now was a bit abnormal."
Chen Kang walked up to the little palace maid and asked softly: "Girl, what did Sun Wentai steal from you?"
The little palace maid lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The jade seal of the country."
Cao Cao was shocked physically and mentally, and exclaimed: "What? Sun Wentai got the imperial seal!"
Chen Kang said: "My lord, the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo is in the hands of the emperor. It is a treasure. Sun Wentai, a governor of Changsha, gets the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo. If his virtue is not worthy of the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, he will suffer misfortune. The Jade Seal of Chuan Guo will become a reminder to Sun Jian."
Cao Cao calmed down.
Indeed, something like the imperial seal is a status symbol of the emperor.
Sun Jian is not qualified to take it.
If the news leaks out, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao will be the first to let him go.
Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, so he must covet the imperial seal.
Liu Biao was a member of the royal family among the princes, and his qualifications were more upright than those of Liu Bei. How could he not want to take back the imperial seal?
Chen Kang said: "If my guess is correct, Sun Jian may not even attend the celebration banquet. Sun Wentai will immediately leave Luoyang with the imperial seal."
Cao Cao said, "Should we stop him?"
Chen Kang said with a smile: "My lord, do you want to fight with Sun Wentai? When the time comes, it will only benefit Yuan Shao and the others. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu want us to die. Release the news that Sun Wentai got the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and let Sun Wentai help us Attract some hate.”
Cao Cao said happily: "Wonderful. With the news of the imperial seal, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will no longer stare at us."
…
Chen Kang stood on the city wall of Luoyang, looking at the sunset, but he continued to deduce the breathing method in his mind.
If you want to practice the legendary Taoist body without leakage, or the innate body, you must still start with the breathing method.
Cao Ren came over and said, "Chen Kang, the celebration banquet is about to begin. You and I will accompany my brother to the main hall."
Chen Kang is Cao Cao's personal bodyguard. Even during the celebration banquet, Chen Kang has to follow Cao Cao to protect Cao Cao's safety.
The allied forces of the princes only entered Luoyang and did not defeat Dong Zhuo's main force of Xiliang Army at all.
But Yuan Shao now held a celebration banquet.
It was so fucked up.
Maybe Yuan Shao's definition of success is to break into Luoyang.
Chen Kang said: "Actually, we don't have to attend this kind of celebration banquet. I really dislike those princes. They claim to be heroes, but in my eyes they are nothing."
Cao Cao had many shortcomings, he liked wives, was suspicious, and even a little irritable, but he was indeed an outstanding hero.
Compared with Cao Cao, the other princes were really far behind.
It's a pity that Cao Cao's starting point was too low.
Until this moment, Cao Cao was still a wanted criminal in the imperial court and had no official position.
Compared with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan and other prefects, governors, and state pastors, Cao Cao lagged behind.
Those more than 15,000 troops are the foundation of Cao Cao.
Cao Ren said: "Chen Kang, you are very skilled in martial arts, but you are not very good at dealing with people and dealing with people. No matter what, Yuan Shao is still the leader of the alliance, and my brother must go to the celebration banquet. At least it must be decent."
Treating people?
Sophisticated people?
It’s not that Chen Kang doesn’t understand.
However, Chen Kang didn't bother to focus on this.
As long as he masters the core martial arts skills, Chen Kang will have everything, so there is no need to toast others.
Cao Ren said again: "Do you still remember the little palace maid you rescued yesterday?"
Chen Kang asked: "What's wrong? But that little palace maid is indeed very beautiful."
Cao Ren smiled slightly: "Her identity is not a palace maid. Her name is Liu Yi."
Chen Kang was stunned: "Liu Yi, who is it?"
Cao Ren said: "Liu Yi is the daughter of the late emperor and the elder sister of today's emperor. She is the famous Princess Wannian."
Chen Kang said: "Princess Wannian Liu Yi? No wonder she ran away with the imperial seal."
How could an ordinary palace maid have the guts to get the jade seal passed down from the country?
Liu Yi is a princess, and the jade seal of the country is something controlled by the royal family. It is not surprising that she escaped with the jade seal.
Cao Ren said: "Princess Wannian wants to see you and wants to thank you in person."
Chen Kang said: "Thank you for not being in a hurry. Let's go, let's escort the lord to the celebration banquet first."
…
In the main hall.
All the princes have arrived. Even Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei entered the hall.
Liu Bei came to the celebration banquet as a descendant of the royal family.
Liu Bei has two sworn brothers who are peerless warriors, so everyone should give him some face.
Of course, if they wanted food, grass, or property, it was impossible for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to give it to Liu Bei.
Face is face, and benefit is benefit.
Don't get confused.
Among the princes, only Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, was absent.
Yuan Shao asked: "Where is Sun Wentai? Why didn't you come?"
The celebration banquet was personally supervised by Yuan Shao.
What does it mean that Sun Jian doesn't come? Do you look down on yourself as the leader of the alliance?
Yuan Shu said coldly: "Sun Wentai has left Luoyang."
Yuan Shao was a little angry and said: "Why did Sun Wentai leave early? He left immediately and kept it secret from me. Does he still take me as the leader of the alliance seriously?"
Cao Cao said: "I do know why Sun Wentai left early."
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others looked at Cao Cao.
Yuan Shu's eyes were full of hatred.
If anyone wants to say who hates Cao Cao the most among the princes, it is Yuan Shu.
Chen Kang put his sword on Yuan Shu's neck and threatened Yuan Shu to take out the food and grass. It makes Yuan Shu's majesty fall to the ground, and he is about to become the laughing stock of others.
Of course, Yuan Shu also resented Chen Kang.
Chen Kang was Cao Cao's subordinate. In Yuan Shu's eyes, Chen Kang was just a dog beside Cao Cao. Chen Kang's actions must have been prompted by Cao Cao.
Chen Kang stood behind Cao Cao, not paying attention to Yuan Shu's hateful eyes.
If his gaze could kill, Chen Kang would have died a thousand times ago.
If you want to deal with yourself, you have to rely on strength, not eyes and eyes. After these days of martial arts training, Chen Kang's physical fitness is enough to compare with first-class military generals.
With his current physical fitness and fighting skills, Chen Kang will not be as embarrassed as last time when he meets Lu Bu again.
Even if he fights Lu Bu with real swords and guns, Chen Kang still has a slight chance of winning.
With some of his military strength restored, how could Chen Kang be afraid of Yuan Shu?
therefore.
Chen Kang is more confident and calm than before.
Yuan Shao said: "Mengde, please tell me, why did Sun Wentai leave?"
Cao Cao said: "The Jade Seal of Chuan Guo. Sun Wentai got the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo in the palace. Humph. If I got the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, I would be like Sun Wentai and leave quietly early."
There was an uproar and curses in the hall, but they were more jealous.
Sun Jian actually got the imperial seal!
Damn it.
Why didn't he get the imperial seal by himself?
Cao Cao had a smile on his face. Sure enough, once there was news about the imperial seal, the princes from all walks of life stopped paying attention to themselves.
Cao Cao secretly thought: "These princes are all short-sighted people with no foresight. They are not true heroes, let alone true heroes. They are not enough to make plans."
The celebration banquet turned into a denunciation meeting to insult Sun Jian.
It's really boring.
…
The celebration banquet is over.
Cao Cao, Chen Kang, and Cao Ren returned to the military camp.
Princess "Liu Yi" of Wannian is already waiting.
"I've met Princess Wannian."
The three of them saluted.
Liu Yi walked up to Chen Kang and said, "Liu Yi thanks Mr. Chen Kang for saving his life."
