Lu Dynasty

Chapter 414 Wrong

Cao heard the shopkeeper's words and said angrily: "You dare to threaten me? Are you not afraid that I will kill you? I still don't believe it. Lu Fengfeng attacked me because of you, a nobody!"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Mr. Cao is wrong. In the eyes of my lord, anyone who is loyal to him is very important. Even if that person is just a pawn under the lord's command! As long as he suffers a little grievance, the lord will get it back for him." The lord often said that as long as the Han people are his compatriots, his brothers and sisters, if they are loyal to him, they are his brothers. If the younger brother has something to do, how can the elder brother not seek justice for him? As for death, I I was an orphan. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when I was about to starve to death, it was the lord who saved me, gave me food, and raised me to become a talent. My life has long belonged to the lord. Now I can lose this for the lord. A head is worth the price of death. If Cao Gong is not afraid of my lord's revenge, you can take what is on my neck!"

Cao looked at the shopkeeper dumbfounded. Seeing that the shopkeeper was very tough, Cao Hong drew his sword and was about to chop him.Cao stopped Cao Hong and sighed: "There are so many righteous men under Lu Feng's command, can you kill them all? Shopkeeper, you are just a nobody under Lu Feng's, and you are so loyal. Why don't you serve me? Wouldn't it be better to die generously?" ? I think that I am not inferior to Lu Feng, and I will never wrong you under my command!"

"If I surrender, will Duke Cao still value me so much? I have nothing but this life. Since he already belongs to the lord, what should I do to serve Duke Cao? As for Duke Cao saying that he is no less than my lord, I I absolutely disagree!" The shopkeeper is a dead man I trained since childhood, how could he betray me so easily?However, there are also dead men who will betray.Because the dead are not the ones who die, but the ones with very high loyalty and credibility.They are generally cultivated from an early age, and even their lives belong to the master's family.Another type of dead warrior is to risk his life to complete the tasks entrusted by the master to regain freedom or earn wages, just like an assassin.

Cao has always wanted to compete with me. When he heard the shopkeeper say that he is not as good as me, he laughed and said, "How can I not be as good as Lu Feng? He even learned from me by taking the emperor to order the world! Lu Feng is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom. You’re nothing more than a disciple!” Cao is like this, as long as he is an enemy, no matter how powerful he is, Cao will make him worthless in front of outsiders!
"Mr. Cao is wrong again! My lord regards King Hongnong as his own younger brother. He did not hesitate to turn against Dong Zhuo, and even saved King Hongnong because of his strength. Do you think my lord did this to coerce him?" The shopkeeper laughed. Looking at Cao, he said, "Mr. Cao, I'm just a treasurer, and I don't understand any major national affairs! Perhaps your ability in handling government affairs and military affairs is indeed as good as my master's, but there are two points that you can't compare with in your whole life." Go to my lord!"

"Which two points!" Cao has never understood how he is worse than me. In Cao's heart, only he and I can compare the current big man.So when he heard from the shopkeeper that he knew how he was worse than me, he became a little anxious.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "First, Mr. Cao, you are a hero. As long as it is beneficial to you, you can give up everything, even your own children! My lord is a hero, and he will never harm his relatives and friends for his own benefit. Friends or subordinates, unless they betrayed. Although my lord seems a bit stupid, those of us who are subordinates are willing to accompany him to be stupid! The second point, Mr. Cao, you are so cunning and deceitful. He is one-handed, and even casts doubts so that people can't see through you. But my lord treats people with sincerity, and people agree with him from the heart. It is said that the gentlemen under the lord, if the lord is wrong, Mr. Tian, ​​who is as straight as you, may point at you. My lord is cursing, but if Duke Cao is wrong, who would dare to blame you for your counselors? My lord often says that all the gentlemen under his command are his friends, and all the generals under his command are his life-and-death brothers. Mr. Cao, you Ask yourself, do you still have friends and brothers by your side? Can you compare to my lord?"

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Cao was disappointed for a while, and he remembered the scene of me and him in Luoyang.Cao shook his head and said, "Lv Feng and I used to be friends, but unfortunately, now he and I are living and dying!"

"Cao Gong is still wrong!" The shopkeeper laughed: "My lord has always regarded Cao Gong as a friend! My lord often said that he and Cao Gong are not only friends but also bosom friends. There are two kinds of friends, one is for mutual support, The other will compete with each other. Maybe he will fight you with his life on the battlefield, but in peacetime, he still hopes to drink and talk with you!"

Cao suddenly laughed loudly and said: "No wonder Brother Ba always said in Luoyang that if he could capture me alive, he would definitely let me live. It turned out that he thought I would be hostile to him, but he let me go several times in Luoyang. I thought he was as benevolent as a woman like Xiang Yu, but he has the confidence to convince Cao Cheng, good!"

"Mr. Cao, my lord often says that he only values ​​two and a half people among the princes of the world! The first person is you, Cao Cao Mengde. You are resourceful, treacherous and cunning, but you do not lose your temperament. The second is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. He has been defeated repeatedly, but he never gives up and is discouraged. The only downside is that whichever prince he goes to, that prince will be unlucky! As for the half of the people, the lord did not say anything!"

"My lord, are you still arresting the shopkeeper?" Cao Hong was a little at a loss seeing Cao chatting happily with the shopkeeper.And Cao chatted with the shopkeeper for a long time, and the anger disappeared.He knows that if he offends me now, he will not have good fruit to eat.Cao still wants to wait until he feels ready, and then start the war by himself!
"What's the use of catching him? You've angered Lu Feng, it's another trouble!" Cao turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Forget it this time, I will arrange soldiers to guard here in the future. I hope you are really doing business. Not a secret agent. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you by then!" The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed after hearing Cao's words, and he also knew that this was Cao's bottom line.However, we use pigeons to deliver messages, and Cao Cao would never have thought of that, no matter how clever he was.Although there was a saying in ancient times that swan geese sent messages, no one has ever seen it!
Cao withdrew his troops from Jimin Restaurant, and Cao Hong asked suspiciously, "My lord, why didn't you take down that shopkeeper?"

"Lv Feng's strength is there. If we offend him, we won't have the strength to defend. How can we attack? What's more, we have only started to farm, and the soldiers and food are still scarce. If we really fight a large-scale battle, it is very likely that we will be unlucky." It's us!" Cao was very helpless, his military rations were his weakness.He really didn't understand why I could find that high-yielding grain and he couldn't.
