Lu Bu asked, “What do you ask me about, sir?”
Chen Gong said: “Now that Wan County has been lost, Nanyang will be acquired by Xun Zhenzhi and Liu Jingsheng, and the four counties of Pingchun are currently surrounded by Runan, Nanyang and Huangzu. Together with Huang Zu, we will send troops to the general, does the general think that the four counties can withstand it?”
Lu Bu said stunned: “Why did you ask such a question, sir?”
Chen Gong said: “Is it possible that the general has not understood it yet?”
“Didn’t understand what?”
Chen Gong said, “Could it be that the general still thinks that the so-called former general that the court promised to the general will be appointed to the general?”
Lu Bu waved his hand and smiled complacently: “The public platform is no longer a former general.”
“Oh?”
“In the letter that Situ Zhao Gong gave me the other day, the charioteer told him that he would bow to General Zuo and me.”
The left general and the front, rear, and right four, generals, as mentioned above, the court respects the right, but in military affairs it respects the left, so the left general is the most respected, the second is the right general, and the former general and the rear are again. general. This left general is more honorable than the former general. This position was previously an official position held by Yuan Shu, but now that Yuan Shu has been classified as a traitor, this position has of course been taken back by the court. As far as Lü Bu said, Zhao Wen’s letter was not actually a letter sent to him by Zhao Wen, but after Xun Zhen captured Wan County, he thought that if he hadn’t helped Yuan Shu, Xun Zhen would not have been able to defeat so easily. Thinking that he had done a good job in the process, he couldn’t wait to write to Zhao Wen and asked when the imperial edict that he was appointed by the court would be officially released, and Zhao Wen replied to him with such a letter.
Chen Gong said bitterly: “General! Whether it is the former general or the left general, this is clearly Xun Zhenzhi making cakes for the general. Please think about it, general, Xun Zhenzhi passed Zhao Zhao at the end of last year. It has been three months since Wen and Xi Zhicai made this promise to the general, and the edict has not been issued yet, but I really don’t understand why the general still believes in this?”
“Gongtai, you don’t know something.”
“Dare to ask the general, where do I not know?”
Lü Bu smiled and said: “Situ Zhao Gong said in the latest letter to me that the chariots are still in Wan, and they have not yet returned to the court… You know, the government of the court is now a chariot, a chariot. Since he is not in the court now, the appointment of General Zuo will naturally have to be delayed a little, and the court should be able to issue an decree when the chariot returns to the court.”
After some words, Lu Bu’s behavior was actually very reasonable.
Chen Gong was dumbfounded and didn’t speak for a while. Then, he got up from the seat, bowed to Lu Bu, turned around and walked out.
Lu Bu was puzzled, and hurriedly stopped him and asked, “Sir, what are you doing?”
Chen Gong stopped in his footsteps, turned around at the entrance of the hall, and said, “The reason why I returned to Pingchun from Danyang not far away is because I remembered the past friendship between me and the general, and was worried about the general’s safety, so I didn’t do it. Being stupid, I want to offer advice to the general, but I don’t realize that the general is still obsessed, and he is still extravagantly begging for the appointment of the former general and the left general! In this case, there is no need for me to talk to the general any more, just think I am running in vain. Just one trip. I will resign to the general, and I will return to Danyang tomorrow.”
“Sir, why are you ‘obsessed’? If you don’t believe me, sir, I can bring Situ Zhao Gong’s letter and show him for yourself. If you don’t believe me, Situ Zhao Gong will never tell lies. Believe what he said in the letter to me?”
Chen Gong said: “General, Situ Zhao Gonggu is more respected than domestic, but I have heard that he has
Relying on the chariots and chariots, the two sons of the Xun clan are connected with each other, and they are the officials of the Situ Mansion. Now only the chariots and horses are leading the way, how can the general trust the words he sent to the general in the book? General, although the generals and I know each other and get along with each other is not old, but I have a good understanding of the generals and their abilities. With the generals’ abilities and talents, I should not be a dignitary in the court, but also be a lord of the land and rule the roost. State County! Not only because of the old friendship I had with the general, but also because I cherished the ability of the general, I came here today to offer advice to the general. That being said, this really makes me…”
Having said this, Chen Gong was heartbroken and sighed heavily.
Lu Bu scratched his beard and asked, “How about Mr. Really?”
Chen Gong said, “It’s a pity for me to be a general! It’s a pity for the Bingzhou righteous soldiers who have followed the general for many years, from Bingzhou to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Chang’an, and then from Chang’an to Nanyang!”
“Sir, this is strange, what’s the pity?”
Chen Gong said: “If the general is still obsessed, I dare to conclude that after Xun Zhenzhi stabilizes Nanyang, he will definitely use troops to calm the spring! Then I just asked the general’s words, Xun Zhenzhi and Sun Ce. , When Huang Zu came to attack from three sides, the situation that the general could withstand the situation appeared. With only a few thousand soldiers and four counties, how could the general be resisted? At that time, not only would the general die, but the generals under the general’s tent would be killed. Those righteous people in Bingzhou are afraid that they will also be buried with the generals! The generals are slightly superior, Gao Shun, Wei Xu and other righteous people are all generals, and it is a pity to die at one time?”
Lu Bu said with a smile: “Sir, it’s alarmist!”
“General, I have a plan that can resolve this danger for the general. I dare to offer it to the general.”
Lu Bu was already a little impatient, but he reluctantly held his temper, and with a smile on his face, he said, “Sir, please speak.”
Chen Gong said: “General, my policy is to temporarily abandon the four counties of Pingchun and move to Yangzhou.”
“Transfer to Yangzhou?”
Chen Gong said: “There are dragons and phoenixes among the generals. With the strategy of the generals and Liu Yangzhou, they will be able to occupy the entire Yangzhou. Then, with the danger of the river, they will sit and watch the changes in the world. It can resolve the immediate danger of the general, and it is enough to make the general become the hegemony of one side! General, this is my strategy. But if the general still believes that the general will worship the general as the former general and the left general, then he should only be the general. I never said these words! I’m just afraid that the general will regret it in the future.”
When Chen Gong said these words, he had been watching Liu Lu Bu’s expression all the time, but he clearly noticed that the perfunctory expression on Lu Bu’s face was getting stronger and stronger. , So after he finished speaking, he knew that he was talking in vain.
Sure enough, as he expected, Lu Bu’s smile even changed from a perfunctory to a polite one, and said, “I understand your kindness and concern for me, but I don’t think so when you say that I am obsessed with understanding. Well, if you insist that you don’t believe that the imperial court will worship me as a general of the left, then I ask you to stay a little longer in Pingchun.”
“Stay a little longer?”
Lv Bu smiled and said: “I just sent officials to Wanxian a few days ago, and sent a letter to Cheqi, congratulating him on his victory in Wanxian. Cheqi’s reply book thinks that he will be able to arrive in Pingchun in a few days, waiting for Cheqi to return. The book has arrived, I will show it to my husband and see how Che Qi replied to me, how about it?”
Lu Bu’s innocence was beyond Chen Gong’s expectations.
If Chen Gong wants to come, even the stupid person, by this time, should be able to see that the words of worshipping as a former general are clearly Xun Zhen’s coaxing words, delaying Lu Bu, not letting him
He just rescued Yuan Shu, but he didn’t expect it at all. Not only has Lu Bu not been able to see this until now, but he is still stupid, still waiting for the court to really appoint him as Zuo General!
A word came to Chen Gong’s mind, “Stubbornness”. Even spitting out a lotus flower against a stubborn rock would be useless.
Chen Gong was finally discouraged and gave up his plan to persuade Lu Bu again, so he stopped talking.
After returning to the seat and sitting for a while, Chen Gong bid Lv Bu his farewell.
Lu Bu said with a smile: “Mr. hard work on the road, I will hold a banquet tonight, specially for Mister to catch the wind and dust!”
Where does Chen Gong have the leisure to drink? He refused and said: “General’s heart, I am very grateful, but I came all the way from Danyang to Pingchun, and the road was very busy, and I was very tired. I will forget about the banquet tonight.”
Sometimes, in some respects, Lu Bu can indeed be called a magnanimous person. If Chen Gong rejected him on the spot, he might get angry if he changed someone else, but Lu Bu was not angry at all. Instead, he was very considerate and said, “It is also , I didn’t think about it carefully! How can you not be tired on the road if you come from a long distance? Then listen to the gentleman, let the gentleman rest for two days, and when the gentleman comes to rest, I will hold a banquet to wash the dust for the gentleman. ”
Under the leadership of one of Lv Bu’s servants, Chen Gong went to live in the guest house.
It was already night, but when Chen Gong arrived at the guest house, he did not rest. Instead, after the servant left, he came out of the guest house, stood on the street, identified the next direction, and went straight to the west along the street. And go.
After walking through two streets with familiarity, Chen Gong entered a mile, went to the door of a house, and asked the servants to go up and call the door. – This is Gao Shun’s house. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
However, when Chen Gong came to see Lu Bu, he made a double plan.
One is that it is best to persuade Lü Bu to let Lü Bu abandon the four counties in Pingchun and lead the entire army to return to Yangzhou with him.
One is that if this plan fails to materialize, he will settle for the next best thing and try to persuade Gao Shun, just as he persuaded Zhang Liao, to get Gao Shun to Yangzhou.
Chen Gong was very familiar with the generals under Lv Bu’s tent. Although Wei Xu and others were all brave, in terms of military governance and personality, only Gao Shun was the most famous general. Gao Shun did not drink alcohol and did not What a bad problem, the military is rigorous, because it is the most important thing for Chen Gong.
The servant stepped forward and called to open the door, but the servant of Gao Shun’s house who came out said that Gao Shun was not at home.
Chen Gong asked where did he go?
The servant replied that he had gone to the camp outside the city early in the morning.
Chen Gong flinched and had no choice but to go back to the guest house first.
I didn’t sleep well all night, and the next morning, Chen Gong got up and went to the Gao Shun military camp outside the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, the city gate had not yet opened. When the city gate opened, Chen Gong walked out of the city.
Outside Gao Shun’s camp, Chen Gong throws a stab and invites Gao Shun.
Gao Shun didn’t know that Chen Gong had come back to Pingchun, and got a notification from the Yuan gatekeeper. Hearing his sudden arrival, he was quite pleasantly surprised, so he hurried to Yuanmen to greet him.
See you twice.
After the salute, Gao Shun said, “When will you arrive in Pingchun? Why didn’t you send someone to come first, let me know in advance?”
“I only arrived yesterday.”
Gao Shun asked, “Sir, it’s still peaceful today, but what’s the matter?”
“Zixiang, I have returned to Pingchun from Danyang hundreds of miles now, not for anything else, but to save your life! I have a plan, if you are willing to follow it, your life will be in danger, but if you refuse to follow it , I’m afraid you’re going to die in peace!”
