Let’s talk about that day, Cao Cao escaped from the city and rode his horse to Qiao County. He passed through Zhongmu County. Cao Cao was captured by soldiers guarding the city.

The magistrate of Zhongmu County was named Chen Gong, whose courtesy name was Gongtai. When he saw Cao Cao in the hall, he asked, "Who are you!"

"Sir Hui, I am a past businessman, with a surname of Huangfu." Cao Cao replied.

"Hmph! Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Gong snorted coldly, and made Cao Cao a lot, "I know you. You are Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who assassinated Prime Minister Dong the day before yesterday! Isn't it?"

"So what if it's me?" Cao Cao said coldly. When he was recognized, he accepted his fate and did not want to speak more.

"Prime Minister Dong treats you very well, why do you want to assassinate? Isn't this a disaster for yourself?" Chen Gong asked.

"How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Since you recognize me, what else can you say? Escort me to Luoyang to receive a reward!" Cao Cao didn't want to say anything more.

"You guys go down first, I have a few words to say to this person alone." Chen Gong retreated.

"Just take me to get the reward, why do you need to say too much?" Cao Cao said coldly.

"Don't underestimate me! I am not a person who does not know the general, but I have never met a lord who knows people before!" Chen Gong said while relaxing Cao Cao.

"I have been consuming the Han family for generations. If I don't want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, then what is the difference between me and those beasts?" Cao Cao said, "Before, I compromised and worked under Dong Zhuo to find a good opportunity. This assassination opportunity is a good opportunity. However, God does not follow the wishes of others. It hurts, and it is a pity! Alas!"

"Where is yours to go on this trip?" Chen Gong asked.

"I want to return to my hometown, issue a forgery edict, and recruit all the princes from all over the world to gather together to attack them! This is what I want!" Cao Cao said.

"Young man is really a righteous man!" Chen Gong bowed to Cao Cao, "Someone's name is Chen Gong, and the courtesy name is Gongtai. If you don't give up, you will be willing to be yourselves as the master, and abandon your official position and flee to the prince!"

Cao Cao was very happy and ran away from the small road with Chen Gong overnight.

The two of them arrived at Chenggao for three or four days. When they were late, Cao Cao pointed to the deep forest and said, "There is a man here named Lu Boshe, who is my father's sworn brother! Let's go to him to prepare a night of stay. He is hospitality and will definitely treat us."

"Okay! That's so good!" Chen Gong nodded.

The two of them dismounted, entered the dense forest, came to Luzhuang, and met Lu Boshe.

"Nephew, I heard that the court issued a document and was eager to arrest you to Luoyang. Even your father had already gone to Chenliu to avoid disaster. Why is this?" Lu Boshe was overjoyed when he saw Cao Cao and asked enthusiastically.

Cao Cao told Lu Boshe carefully about the previous events.

Lu Boshe was moved and hurriedly bowed to Chen Gong twice: "If it weren't for you, my nephew's family would have been in danger, and the whole family of Cao's family might have been destroyed! You will live in a humble house today, and there is no good wine left. I will go and fight you!"

After saying that, Lu Boshe hurriedly got up and went out of the farm.

"Meng De, your uncle, is warm and hospitable!" Chen Gong said.

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded.

"Huohuo...Huohuo..." After a long time, the two of them did not see Lu Boshe coming home, but instead heard the loud sound of sharpening the knife.

"Lu Boshe is not my closest relative. Let's go and listen. If things change, we will run away quickly!" Cao Cao whispered.

"This is the best!" Chen Gong nodded.

The two left the house and came to the source of the sound. Only one person in the house said, "Go and tie him up quickly, I'll kill him first!"

The two were shocked, looked at each other, nodded, pulled out their respective swords, and rushed into the room. No matter men, women, young and old, all of them were killed.

Until they saw a pig tied up, the two suddenly realized.

"Meng Deduoxin, we killed a good person by chance!" Chen Gong's tone was a little regretful.

"Oh, forget it, don't talk anymore. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave quickly!" Cao Cao said.

"Yeah," Chen Gong nodded, and the two hurriedly got on the horse and prepared to leave, just as Lu Boshe returned from drinking.

"Where are you going?" Lu Boshe asked in surprise.

"Oh, the wanted person dare not stay for a long time!" Cao Cao replied.

"This, I ordered the servants to kill pigs and sheep, and I also brought in the best wine. You two might as well stay in the house for a night before leaving!" Lu Boshe advised.

"I still can't do it, Cao should go back to his hometown overnight!" Cao Cao shook his head and refused.

"Okay, since that's the case, my dear nephew will go all the way!" Lu Boshe did not force himself, nodded, and rode a donkey to the village.

"Swish!" Cao Cao suddenly pulled out his sword, swung it away with a sword, and killed Lu Boshe on his horse.

"Meng De! Why is this?" Chen Gong was shocked.

"We just killed Lu Boshe's family of eight. When he returned home, he would definitely bring people to chase him. I killed him in order to avoid disaster!" Cao Cao explained.

"It's not a big deal to kill someone even though he knows that he's still intentionally!" Chen Gong said.

"Hmph! I would rather teach me to let the people of the world down than let the people of the world down!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, turned his horse's head and continued on his way.

"Oh!" Chen Gong sighed silently, and followed.

That night, the two stayed in a hotel.

"Hey!" After Cao Cao fell asleep, Chen Gong sighed secretly, "I also thought that this person was a real man. He turned out to be just a wolf-hearted man. If he stayed there today, there would be great trouble in the future!" After thinking about it, Chen Gong drew out his sword and planned to go to Cao Cao.

After thinking, Chen Gong thought again: I followed this person here for the sake of national justice. If I killed him at this moment, wouldn’t I have done something unjust? Why don’t I just abandon him and let him live and die!

After thinking about it, Chen Gong took back his sword and left directly.

The next day, Cao Cao woke up and found that he could not see Chen Gong everywhere. He was shocked and sweated: Most of this person abandoned me because I mistakenly killed someone who should not have been killed! No, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, I have to leave quickly!

So, Cao Cao rushed to Chenliu overnight and returned home. He told his father Cao Song about what had happened in the past few days, and wanted to disperse all his wealth and recruit righteous soldiers.

"No, the family wealth is too little, I'm afraid it's not enough to accomplish anything! There is a filial and honest man here, named Wei Hong. This man is quite generous and generous. When he goes to him, he will definitely contribute to help!" Cao Song shook his head and said.

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, and the father and son found Wei Hong together and explained the importance of this. Sure enough, as Cao Song said, Wei Hong had heard the whole story and agreed to invest.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and sent the edict to various places first, and then began to recruit volunteer soldiers. For a time, countless people were recruited!

Suddenly one day, I heard that Cao Cao's brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, who were fighting, each brought more than a thousand brave men to Cao Cao.
