Chapter 274 Talking about Cao Cao

Huang Zhong, Lu Zhi and others fought bravely and never flinched during the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, they were awarded the title of Lieutenant General of the Five Armies, which is equivalent to the rank of Lieutenant General in modern times. Just as they were fighting the Yellow Turban Army with all their might, an unexpected figure appeared on the battlefield - Cao Cao, who was now the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang.

In fact, long before Huang Zhong led the special forces to sneak into Luoyi, Lu Bu had specifically mentioned Cao Cao to him and other special forces members, as well as some secret agents, and emphasized that they should keep a close eye on his movements. He even hinted that if the situation was urgent, he could be eradicated at all costs.

At this moment, when Huang Zhong saw Cao Cao in person, he could not help but feel a complex emotion. On the one hand, he knew that Cao Cao was no ordinary man, and his wisdom and tactics were quite powerful; on the other hand, he also understood that there must be a deep meaning behind Lu Bu's emphasis on Cao Cao.

However, facing the chaotic situation of suppressing the Yellow Turban Army, Huang Zhong did not have much time to think about these issues. He quickly made a judgment and decided to put aside his concerns about Cao Cao for the time being and focus on eliminating the Yellow Turban Army first.

But at the same time, he also secretly reminded himself to stay alert and keep an eye on Cao Cao's every move. After all, according to Lu Bu's instructions, this Cao Cao might become a major variable in their future actions...

Huang Zhong and other secret agents sent out worked tirelessly, fighting and running around day and night, just to be able to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army as soon as possible and collect more intelligence about Cao Cao. They went deep into various places, dealt with various people, and risked their lives to obtain some key information.

When the messenger finally returned to the Jiuyuan County camp with a full bag of intelligence, his face was filled with a tired but accomplished smile. Then he reported everything he knew to his lord Lu Bu without reservation, from Cao Cao's family background to the details of Cao Cao's daily life.

Lu Bu sat in a high position, listening carefully to the report of the secret agent messenger, his eyes were sometimes sharp, sometimes thoughtful. He did not dare to neglect this hard-won intelligence, because it was related to Lu Bu's entire future layout.

As time went by, detailed investigation reports were presented to Lu Bu, giving him a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Cao Cao.

After the report, the secret agent quietly waited for Lu Bu to give new instructions. At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire tent was solemn. It was obvious that Lu Bu's next decision would affect the life and death of some people. Lu Bu needed to find the best response strategy in this complicated situation.

Cao Cao, whose courtesy name was Mengde, also had another alias called Jili. His nickname was A'man. His hometown was Qiao County, Pei State, which is now Bozhou City, Anhui Province.

When Cao Cao was young, he was a bohemian lone ranger who did everything he could to achieve his own selfish interests. Until he was 20 years old, he was recommended by his family as a filial and incorrupt official. Then his family paid for him to buy a nominal title of a palace official. Later, he spent a large sum of money to become the Northern Inspector of Luoyang.

Cao Cao's background is really extraordinary! His family is a famous family in Qiao County, Pei State. His father, Cao Song, is a local tycoon and once served as a general. With such a strong family background as support, Cao Cao's growth experience and future achievements must have been greatly affected.

His grandfather was Cao Teng, Marquis of Feiting. Although he was a eunuch, he served the emperor very hard and was given the title of Marquis of Feiting. It was a pity that Cao Teng had no son to inherit his title, but Cao Cao's father Cao Song was lucky enough to be adopted as Cao Teng's adopted son, which was equivalent to inheriting Cao Teng's title.

In fact, Cao Cao's original surname should have been Xiahou, but because his father Cao Song was adopted by the Cao family, he changed his surname to Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao had just been promoted to Cavalry Commandant for his great contributions in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army. Although he was not as good as a General of the Household, he was equivalent to a colonel or major general.
