When Cao Song saw Cao Cao, he sighed.
Ever since Cao Cao raised his army in Chenliu, Cao Song had lived in seclusion in Langya Prefecture to avoid disaster. The father and son had not seen each other for three years.
Who knew that on the way to meet, they would encounter Zhang Kai's assassination, almost separating the father and son!
"My son!"
"That old dog Tao Qian is really despicable. He looks like a modest gentleman, but he's actually a sinister villain. To think that I even promised to be a host for the two families and stop making peace!”
"If it weren't for Jing Lue, we would never have met again!”
"My son, do not neglect the wise men!”
Cao Cao's expression was solemn as he said," You have saved my life and have the talent of a wise man. How can I neglect you?”
"Father, you're tired after coming all the way here. Rest for two days, and I'll personally host a banquet to entertain Chen Mu!”
Cao Song nodded slightly.
The recommendation had already been made, so Cao Song would not interfere with Cao Cao's decision.
Cao Song knew his son's character very well!
Cao Cao would definitely investigate Chen Mu's identity.?
The real reason was that Cao Cao was waiting for news from Pingyuan County.
......
Courier station.
Guan Hai was a little indignant." Chief, I told you that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are the same kind of people. Look, you saved Cao Cao's father, but Cao Cao didn't come to thank you personally. Instead, he hosted a banquet and let us stay in the posthouse?”
"And that Dian Wei outside, besides going to the toilet, he eats and sleeps at the front door. What does that mean? House arrest?"
Chen Mu chuckled, and his expression remained the same.""Guan Hai! Juancheng is only so big. It's already good enough for us 400 brothers to have a posthouse to stay in! I've eaten wind and drank dew before. Don't be too calculative!”
"Chief!" Guan Hai dragged out his voice, still indignant,"Do I care about this? I care about your safety! We've just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den!”
"If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Runan and lived a carefree life like Liu Pi and Gong Du!”
Chen Mu gestured for Guan Hai to sit down and pointed at Dian Wei, who was standing outside the door.""Dian Wei, the commander of Cao Cao's personal guards, he has the ability to chase tigers across rivers and have the strength to hold a cauldron. If he didn't use a bow and arrow, he wouldn't even be able to kill Dian Wei alone!”
Guan Hai was shocked. Can't we add the Chief's?"
"Sigh! Naturally, you can't include me!" Chen Mu shook his head.”
Guan Hai bared his teeth,"Chief, are you praising Dian Wei or yourself?!" You speak as if you can beat me!”
"In terms of brute force, of course, I can't beat my second-in-command!" Chen Mu laughed. However, I am a strategist, and I fight with my wits, not my strength. When it comes to the battlefield I choose, even ten of you won't be enough for me to beat you up!”
Guan Hai instantly recalled the past. He had once fallen into Chen Mu's trap ten times in a row.?
That sour feeling was even more unbearable than death!
"Hey, don't interrupt! Chief, I'm talking about you. Don't lead me into the ditch!”Guan Hai grinned.
"Do you think that Cao Cao is really under house arrest by leaving such a fierce commander of his personal guards at the front gate and guarding it day and night?" Chen Mu's expression turned solemn.”
" This…" Guan Hai hesitated." It doesn't seem reasonable! But why?"
Chen Mu lay down on his back and closed his eyes.""Don't worry! We're tired from the long journey, so we'll rest for two days to recuperate before going to the banquet. This is the respect for good wine and good food!”
"Sigh! The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. Ptui, I'm not a eunuch!”Guan Hai mumbled and instantly gave himself another slap.
.....
Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Xiahou En hurried over and cupped his hands at Cao Cao.
"My lord, I'm glad I didn't fail you. I've already investigated Chen Mu's situation in Pingyuan County!”
"Speak!"
"Half a year ago, Liu Bei was recruiting talents in Pingyuan County. Chen Mu was the one who joined Liu Bei at that time.”
"Liu Bei is extremely respectful to Chen Mu. He holds a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. All matters in the county are decided by Chen Mu and he trusts him very much!”
"Chen Mu has also worked hard in Pingyuan County to make the county prosperous. He has reformed and reformed, allowing Pingyuan County's originally lax administration of officials to return to the right track.”
"However, Chen Mu's actions have offended the aristocratic families in Pingyuan County, led by Chen Jin.”
"Three months ago, the influential families of Pingyuan County used Chen Mu as an excuse to humiliate the eldest son of the Chen Clan, Chen Yao. They jointly pressured Liu Bei to kill Chen Mu to show his loyalty.”
"Chen Mu has been imprisoned because of this, and he will be executed on another day!”
"However, on the night before the execution, Chen Mu was rescued by more than four hundred Yellow Turban soldiers. It is said that after that night, the eldest son of the Chen clan, Chen Yao, also died.”
"After that, the people of Pingyuan County paled when they heard the name Chen Mu.”
"I was able to find out this information because I spent money to ask the local ruffians.”
Xiahou En told Cao Cao everything he had gathered.
"This is mostly in line with what Father said.”
"Looks like Chen Mu is not hiding anything!”
"Aristocratic families, join forces to pressure us!"
Cao Cao did not mock Liu Bei. Instead, he was keenly aware of the crux behind Chen Mu's betrayal by Liu Bei.
Aristocratic families!
The troubles of aristocratic families were like floods and ferocious beasts!
