Regarding the character of "Chen Gong", many people on the Internet joked that Chen Gong is Cao Cao's "white moonlight" and "unforgettable regret in a lifetime", and even many people make up the past between them into a romantic "love story".
In fact, Cao Cao has many capable people, Xu Zhu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Zhang Liao ......Which one of these is not more impressive than Chen Gong's reader?Not to mention that Chen Gong also turned against Cao Cao in the follow-up, switched to Lu Bu's account, and even faced Cao Cao's recruitment, he was also dead or alive, so why did Chen Gong become such an image of "White Moonlight"?
It is worth mentioning that the reason why readers are so interested in the story between Chen and Cao is largely through the rendering of **"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the old man Luo Guanzhong is only writing**, not writing the official history, so there will definitely be some artistic rendering, so the story of Chen Gong and Cao Cao in the book, in today's words, is basically a story of "love and killing" - so, what is going on with Cao Chen in history?
In "Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and escaped, accidentally **, and was about to be escorted to Dong Zhuo's fate;Fortunately, Cao Apu at that time met Chen Gongtai, a hot-blooded young man and the commander of Zhongmu County. Later, Chen Gongtai met Cao Cao at night, and was overwhelmed by Cao Agui's ambition and conversation, and the two became confidants, and Chen Gong released Cao Cao that night, and the two fled together.
However, Lu Boxuan's incident made Chen Gong realize that Cao Apu was not his "boya", but a sinister and cunning person with an unscrupulous heart, and the sentence "Rather teach me to bear the world, not teach the world to bear me" made Chen Gong so frightened that he fled overnight, and when he said goodbye, the two "confidants" had become enemies.
The final ending of Chen Palace was under the city of Xuzhou. At this time, the high-spirited Lu Bu and Chen Gong had become Cao Cao's prisoners, but Cao A hid his talents, he wanted to keep Chen Gong and let him work for him, and he didn't have to die with Lu Bu;But Chen Gongtai refused, he entrusted his wife and children to Cao Cao, the former "bosom friend", and then died generously - the last scene of Cao Cao's farewell to Chen Gong has also become one of the most classic scenes in the history of ancient Chinese literature.
Mr. Luo's narration does make the story of these two people full of drama and conflict, and at the same time, it also successfully makes readers toss and turn for the story of these two people, and is full of emotion;However, in fact, the two had already known each other as early as when Cao Cao was still the Taishou of Dongjun, and at that time, Chen Gong was Cao Cao's advisor.
According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Chen Gong was a fierce man when he was young, jealous and hateful, and worshiped heroes. He had the characteristics of an intellectual at that time, that is, a high sense of social responsibility and a humanistic spirit of self-cultivation and conscience, and the most important thing was the heroic spirit of "rather being a broken jade than a whole tile".
Therefore, Chen Gong also once took it as his mission to rescue this stormy country.
In the early peace years, Chen Gong, who was full of poetry and books, was a strategist under Cao Cao, and it is undeniable that Cao Cao is a very charismatic person, he cherishes talents and loves talents, and the ambition he expounded is just the appetite of the "angry youth" Chen Gong, so the two actually spent a "honeymoon period".
In the third year of the first peace, Chen Gong obtained Yanzhou for Cao Cao through diplomatic means.
However, the good times did not last long, two years later, when Cao Cao led the army to conquer Tao Qian, Chen Gong instigated Zhang Chao, Wang Kai and others to "steal home" together: taking advantage of the fact that the main force was not in Yanzhou, Chen Gong and others sent Yanzhou to Lu Bu, and occupied Puyang with a strategy.
And Chen Gong is really powerful, relying on his understanding of Cao Cao, he fought a few beautiful battles with Lu Bu, and once forced Cao's army to retreat;But, who is Cao Cao?
The momentary defeat and the backstabbing of his subordinates did not make him collapse, but became more and more frustrated, and it did not take long for Cao's army to defeat Lü Bu's army, resulting in Chen Gong finally having to flee to Xuzhou with Lü Bu to take refuge with Liu Bei, who was known for his "benevolence and righteousness".
After that, Lü Bu and Cao Jun also experienced several encounters, and the two sides won and lost each other.
In 198 AD, Cao Cao gathered soldiers and horses to conquer Xuzhou, and the troops came to the city of Pengcheng. When dealing with Cao's army, Chen Gong and Lu Bu disagreed: Gongtai believed that they should wait for work at ease, Pengcheng was their base camp, and as long as the environmental advantages were properly played, they would not be able to force Cao's army back;But Lü Bu wanted to take the initiative and force Cao's army into Surabaya before attacking.
Lü Bu did not take Chen Gong's opinion, and Chen Gong did not stick to the end, and finally Cao's army broke through Pengcheng, and several generals under Lü Bu's account were captured.
Interestingly, Lü Bu originally had a chance to repel Cao's army.
According to the records of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Wei Dynasty, after being besieged in Xiapi, Lü Bu thought about begging Cao Cao for mercy and surrendering, but Chen Gong stopped him and told him that Cao Cao had come from afar and would not last long.
Therefore, Chen Gong and Gao Shun would be at the gate of the city, and Lü Bu could escape from elsewhere to seek rescue, and then he could relieve the siege of Pi.
Chen Gong's plan is very good, Lu Bu is a famous fierce general at that time, if he drags his family with his mouth, he will definitely not be able to escape the net of Cao Jun, but if he is the only one, he may really be able to bring rescue;But the bad thing is that Lu Bu is brave and true, but he lacks an assertive and strategic brain.
Lu Bu's wife was afraid that Chen Gong and Gao Shun would have a disagreement and could not guard the city gate well, but she was afraid that Lu Bu would leave and leave their orphans and widows here to die, so she tried her best to dissuade Lu Bu from leaving Xiapi, but should surrender directly to Cao Cao and push all the pots that captured Yanzhou on Chen Gong's head.
Sadly, Lü Bu did not listen to the advice of Chen Gong, a strategist, but instead listened to his wife's words, and was eventually drowned by Cao Cao.
In December 198 AD, there was a conflict within the Lü army, Song Xian and others tied up Chen Gong and sent it to Cao Cao, but Lü Bu saw that the general trend had gone, so he could only surrender the city.
Why is Chen Gong Cao's "white moonlight" and "difficult to peace", this has to mention the famous scene in the history of literature - Cao Cao said goodbye to Chen Gong.
In order to survive, Song Xian and others took Chen Gong as a "letter of nomination" and gave it to Cao Cao. As soon as Cao Cao saw Chen Gong, he immediately said, "You think you are smart, how should you be compared to what you used to be?"
Cao Cao's words are a bit interesting. From the foregoing, it can be seen that Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao, but Cao Cao said that "I would rather teach me to bear the people of the world", and if he catches Chen Gongtai, a traitor, he should not be immediately imprisoned and then executed in a public trial, right?
As a result, not only did he not lock up Chen Gong, but affectionately called him "Gongtai" and talked to him in this tone similar to a joke;Subsequently, Cao Cao used Chen Gong's parents as a guide and wanted him to switch to his command.
Unexpectedly, Chen Gong had already had the will to die, and after answering Cao Cao, he generously went to die;And Cao Cao burst into tears and saw off Chen Gong, but the public platform was unwilling to give Cao Cao even one last look - one in front and one in the back, so far it has become a swan song.
Why is Chen Gong Cao Cao's "difficult to peace"?Because Cao Cao may have wanted to subdue Chen Gong from beginning to end and let him serve him, he didn't even mind his previous backstabbing, but unfortunately it didn't work out in the end, who can say that this is not a kind of "uneasy"?
