Lu Yan recalled one of Cao Cao's biggest crises in his early days,
That is, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao and led Lu Bu into Yanzhou, which almost caused the entire Cao family group to be broken up.
It can be said to be extremely dangerous.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but become a little confused.
“From the current point of view,
Zhang Miao and Boss Cao are so good that they can wear a pair of trousers, but they just need honey to make oil.
Once, Zhang Miao fully supported Boss Cao in launching an army to attack Dong;
Zhang Miao caused Yuan Shao's resentment by blaming him.
Later, Yuan Shao asked Boss Cao to kill Zhang Miao, but Boss Cao refused and persuaded him.
Logically speaking, the relationship between the two of them should be very close, so why would Zhang Miao betray Boss Cao?"
Can't figure it out,
Lu Yan conveniently wrote down his doubts in his diary.
[Why did Zhang Miao betray Boss Cao? Is it a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?]
However, after Lu Yan thought for a moment, he felt that the most likely possibility was,
[Perhaps Zhang Miao saw Boss Cao becoming more and more powerful in the future, and even took over Yanzhou as the state shepherd, and was worried that Boss Cao would be unfavorable to him?]
【I think it's very possible!】
Thinking of this, Lu Yan closed the diary and began to think carefully about the key points.
At this time, Lu Yan suddenly remembered a person, "Chen Gong!"
"Chen Gong, yes, Chen Gong should be the key to the whole incident!"
After Lu Yan thought of Chen Gong, he suddenly felt enlightened.
"As Yuan Shao reported to Cao Cao and became the shepherd of Yanzhou, the relationship between Yuan and Cao also took a further step.
At this time, Zhang Miao will probably be very worried that Yuan Shao will settle old scores with him."
"Chen Gong was Cao Cao's helper and witness to the manslaughter of Lu Boshe's family.
If he used this to persuade Zhang Miao, it might really make Zhang Miao doubtful.
After all, what happened to Lu Boxhe's family is a lesson for Zhang Miao..."
Perhaps there was Zhang Miao's own pursuit of rights and interests, but no matter what, he ultimately turned his back on the brother who could entrust his family to him.
With a sigh, Lu Yan shook his head and said:
"Boss Cao is really confused...his impulse has brought him so much trouble..."
Thinking about Wancheng playing sister-in-law again, Lu Yan shook his head even more fiercely.
[Diary synchronization completed, congratulations to the host for successful sign-in!]
[Judgment of diary content: A!]
[Your sincerity will always be rewarded. Today’s diary was rated as Grade A, and the reward will be upgraded to a higher level.]
[Rewards are being generated, please wait...]
[Congratulations to the host, you got a scarlet cloak]
[Scarlet Cloak: Slightly improves the wearer’s strength and charm.]
Seeing this scarlet cloak that was incompatible with his own style, Lu Yan stuffed it into the box without hesitation. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, and for the first time he began to actively practice Xiantian Kung and the Three-foot Qi Wall.
There must be a reason why Lu Yan was suddenly willing to work hard. He secretly warned himself,
"If chaos breaks out in the rear, I will definitely bear the brunt.
It seems that I must improve my life-saving ability as soon as possible."
Before there is definite evidence,
Lu Yan could not mention Zhang Miao's betrayal to Cao Cao.
Because if he said it and it didn't happen in the end,
Then he would be charged with alienating his best friend and close comrade-in-arms, thus losing Cao Cao's trust.
Now that he had finally made up his mind and started a career, and he had Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and other people who trusted him around him, he really didn't want to let down these people who trusted him just because of a temporary high.
"That's all, work hard to improve your strength and take necessary precautions at the same time.
If there are indeed signs of Zhang Miao's betrayal, it won't be too late to inform Boss Cao then..."
But Lu Yan never expected that,
Boss Cao can remotely peek into his diary,
Although he did not write many details about the betrayal of Cao Cao by Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu,
But he finally made a few entries in his diary.
...
Dunqiu’s night tonight,
Very cold!
The night wind blew loudly on Cao Cao's face,
It was like countless sharp knives were scraping back and forth on his face...
But no matter how cold the weather is, no matter how biting the cold wind is,
It can't compare to Boss Cao's heart that seems to be frozen at this moment.
"I treat Zhang Miao like a brother, but he will betray me in the future?
Why would you betray me?
Why betray me?!"
Cao Cao was only wearing single clothes and was holding the Diary of Heaven's Destiny in his hand.
At this moment, he stood blankly outside his living tent,
His eyes looked helplessly and dejectedly at the dark sky.
"It's impossible for Mr. Lu to lie to me. This is his diary. Who would lie to themselves in their diary?"
Cao Cao seemed not to feel the cold at night, because his heart was even colder,
"If even Zhang Miao betrays me, how many trustworthy people will I have in this world? Will I still have trustworthy friends?"
Historically, Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and even directed and acted in a play in which he killed people in his dreams to keep people away from him.
Perhaps these painful experiences of being betrayed by the people he trusted the most were a driving force for Cao Cao to go to extremes.
When the soldiers patrolling the camp saw Cao Cao, they would stop and salute, and then continue their work.
After four or five waves of soldiers were gone,
Cao Cao finally came to his senses,
Only then did he realize that he had walked outside the camp at some point.
"Hiss! It's so cold!"
While no one was paying attention to his side, Cao Cao retreated back to his tent.
Back to the warm bed,
Cao Cao reopened the diary of destiny and destiny,
He looked at this sentence [Will there be a sudden betrayal like in history?] and fell into deep thought.
"It seems that Meng Zhuo really betrayed me in that history, and Mr. Lu's concern is very necessary.
But I can't be unfavorable to Meng Zhuo without any basis or evidence.
Therefore, I am afraid I can only leave this matter to Mr. Lu’s attention.”
Thinking of Lu Yan, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Mr. Lu's goal is very clear and pure. Now that I am his favorite person, he will definitely do his best to help me...right?"
But after thinking about Lu Yan's temper for a moment, Cao Cao still sighed and said:
"Forget it, I'd better prepare myself for everything.
Even if Mr. Lu doesn't try his best, as long as he lets out a little bit of news at the right time,
Then I can try my best to avoid Zhang Miao's backlash.
Chen Liu is my foundation and cannot be taken away easily by Zhang Miao..."
Although Cao Cao told himself that he was just wary of Zhang Miao,
But his actions showed that he completely believed what Lu Yan said in his diary.
Cao Cao's eyes fell on the diary again,
Look at the first two sentences of Lu Yan again,
[It’s the Chinese New Year, I really miss it...]
[I live a good life here, no one urges me to change my life, and no one urges me to get married. It’s very good, don’t think about it...]
Cao Cao felt sad for no reason.
"This is obviously a reminder of the days when people were urging people to change their schedules and get married!
Maybe a relative or a close friend?
But in this reincarnation, it seems that Mr. Lu, you are still alone..."
Cao Cao was a little touched by Lu Yan's "tragic situation". When he thought of Zhang Miao, he felt sympathy for his fate.
"It feels like being alone...I seem to be feeling it now, it's really uncomfortable...
But Mr. Lu, don’t worry,
As long as I, Cao Mengde, am here, I will make you miss you every Chinese New Year.
Urgent, I don’t know what to do about this. I can’t expose the secret that I can peek into the diary and urge you to update the diary...
But as for urging you to get married, I can make arrangements for you!"
