Chapter 613 Chen Gong and Lu Bu

The lights inside and outside Puyang City were brightly lit, and there were countless torches around the city, as if to illuminate this area like daylight.

Lu Bu came to the gate of the city with his troops, and Chen Gong led the crowd to welcome them.

"Yanzhou Chen Gong met the general!"

Lu Bu was riding on the horse, looking down at Chen Gong, slightly surprised, looked at Chen Gong several times, and then asked: "You are Cao Cao's, don't drive Chen Gong!"

Chen Gong seemed to know that Lu Bu was going to ask this question, so he replied generously, "Exactly!"

Sure enough, he is Cao Cao's confidant.

Lu Bu's subordinates were discussing for a while.

Chen Gong rebelled against Cao, what is the situation.

Lu Bu asked again, "Why did you help me?"

Chen Gongdao: "Yanzhou needs a new master, Cao Mengde has a disadvantage, he is not suitable to be the master of Yanzhou, the general will come just in time."

"Hahaha, what a coincidence, so I'm here at the right time." Lu Bu laughed wildly three times. He didn't expect his luck to be so great. He would succeed in attacking Yanzhou, and even Cao Cao's confidantes would turn to him.

Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong, thank you very much.

Without you, I, Lu Bu, would have to depend on others.

Lu Bu urged the horse to go forward a few steps and said, "Mr. Chen, please take us into the city."

"General, please!" Chen Gong didn't have any expression on his face, and made a gesture of invitation very solemnly, then Lu Bu urged his horse to walk in front of him, and the other generals fell behind Chen Gong.

As long as there is any change in Chen Gong, these generals under Lu Bu don't mind beheading Chen Gong immediately.

It's just that there was no ambush in the city, and everything was just as Lu Bu said, and they simply joined in.

After entering the county mansion, Lu Bu came to the main seat and sat down. Chen Gong and others took their seats, and the banquet began.

Good wine and good food are served.

Lu Bu was quite satisfied.

After drinking a few cups, Wei Xu raised his glass to Chen Gong and said, "Mr. Chen, I would like to offer you a toast. You are willing to give up Cao Cao to help me wait for the lord, so that I can admire you. I will drink this one first."

Chen Gong did not show weakness and drank his toast, Wei Xu continued: "Mr. Chen, I am very curious, why didn't you write us a letter before coming to Puyang, so that we can take Puyang and capture Xiahouyuan alive. You must know that Xia Houyuan is a fierce general of Cao Cao, if you let him escape, there will be endless disasters."

With Chen Gong's knowledge and status, it is not difficult to see the value of Xia Houyuan.

Obviously he could keep Xia Houyuan behind, but in the end he took the most unreliable method to capture Puyang City.

Wei Xu and Lu Bu's other generals were very curious and puzzled.

Chen Gong's performance was too bizarre and strange, they were worried.

Chen Gong Yijing has become an extremely popular minister in Yanzhou, and he is Cao Cao's real confidant if he does not drive.

It doesn't make sense to help Lu Bu, because he voted for Lu Bu and finally won Yanzhou or let him be a different driver.

In this way, Chen Gong's status has not changed, but he has to bear some infamy for betraying the lord, is it worth it?
Even Lu Bu was a little curious.

Chen Gong replied calmly: "Because I don't want Xia Houyuan to die in Puyang."

Lu Bu frowned slightly, everyone stopped what they were doing, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Wei Xu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked eagerly, "Yes! What do you mean, sir?"

"It's very simple. Xia Houyuan is Cao Cao's confidant and beloved general. When he dies, the general and Cao Cao will be completely torn apart. He will never die. There will be no possibility of relaxation between the two armies." Chen Gong explained:

"I'm answering a question in General Wei's mind. Why didn't I just hand over Juancheng to General Lu, and take Cao Cao's family and the families of the generals hostage and dedicate it to General Lu Bu. Doesn't do any good."

Wei Xu frowned, and Lu Bu asked, "Sir, continue?"

Chen Gong continued: "The general took Juancheng and captured Cao Cao's family and the family members of the generals. This will not make Cao Cao submit, nor will his generals be afraid. On the contrary, they will fight back more fiercely.

At that time, if the general fights against them, he will definitely lose, because the general's strength is too weak. I believe that General Lu should be very aware of the shortcomings of the Bingzhou army. "

Is the Bingzhou Army strong?

It is indeed not weak, and Lu Bu is very brave and good at fighting.

But there are not many Bingzhou troops, and it is not enough for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops and come back to fight to the death.

In other words, even if the whole of Yanzhou has changed its course to support Lu Bu, Lu Bu's strength has not been strengthened, because no one will send troops to support him.

So he still used the old background of the Bingzhou Army to fight Cao Cao.

In the end, if it goes all out, Lu Bu will lose.

This has been the case in history.

In the end, Lu Bu was defeated and fled to Xuzhou.

But this time Xu Ding didn't want Lu Bu to go to Xuzhou. Xuzhou was his prefecture, so in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, he had to point out the way for Lu Bu.

You can't let him toss around, and you can only go to Yanzhou or go to Jizhou if you want to toss.

"So what is your suggestion, sir?" Of course Lu Bu was well aware of his own weaknesses.

The Bingzhou Army is powerful on the surface, but in fact it is extremely fragile. Without supplements, every death in battle will be one less.

Since Chen Gong is Cao Cao's mate, his strategy should not be low. What Lu Bu lacks most now is a counselor, one who can help him make suggestions.

Chen Gong is very suitable, it is like a gift from heaven.

But whether Chen Gong can be trusted or not still needs to be tested.

Chen Gong said with a smile: "It's simple. When I came, I took out all the soldiers and horses in Juancheng and the vicinity of Juancheng. Go, so that the general can enter Juancheng smoothly.

When Cao Cao attacked Qingzhou, seeing that Juancheng was in trouble, he would return to Yanzhou. At the same time, he wanted to fight the general quickly. Once he defeated the general, the people who supported the general in the states and counties I connected with now would immediately switch to support Cao Cao again.

Therefore, the general does not need to rush to fight Cao Cao's main force, just dragging him. At that time, Marquis Weihai will definitely take advantage of the situation and enter Yanzhou.

In this way, the general preserved and developed the Bingzhou Army, and also had a place to recuperate and develop. "

Lu Bu was playing with the wine glass, Chen Gong's design was really good.

It's just that it's still a little uncomfortable to share Yanzhou with Xu Ding.

But there are not many soldiers in Bingzhou, and being able to take down Yanzhou may not necessarily be able to defend such a large territory.

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu asked again: "If Cao Cao withdraws his troops at that time and promises not to pursue them, wouldn't it mean that I and Cao Cao will finally have to fight head-on, fighting to the death?"

Chen Gongdao: "No, the Marquis of Weihai will not let go of this opportunity. If he knows that the general has attacked Yanzhou, he will definitely pursue Cao Cao and send Jibei Kingdom, Dongping Kingdom, Lu Kingdom, Rencheng Kingdom, and Dongjun to the north of the Yellow River. It's all in your pocket."

"In this case, Xu Ding's appetite is too big. He wants four and a half counties at once, and most of Yanzhou has been taken away by him. We only have half of East County, one Chenliu and one Jiyin. A Shanyang, we send troops and effort, why should he get the big head." Wei Xu said dissatisfied.

You must know that Chenliu County will be reserved for Zhang Miao to win him over and stabilize him.

Therefore, only Jiyin, Shanyang and half of Dongjun can be occupied by the Bingzhou Army.

Chen Gong laughed and said, "Isn't this good? The more Marquis Weihai eats, the more Cao Cao will hate him. At that time, General Lu can make peace with Cao Cao and deal with Marquis Weihai together. After all, he is the number one in the world." A great prince."

"Wonderful, this is the reason why the master said not to have a deadly feud with Cao, not to kill Xia Houyuan, and not to capture Cao Cao's family." Lu Bu put down the wine glass, filled it up and toasted Chen Gong:
"Mr. Gongtai, our military logistics and government affairs will be entrusted to you in the future. Whatever you say is what you say. I believe you."

Lu Bu knew that there was actually a third point that Chen Gong didn't say, that Chen Gong didn't want to take credit for Cao Cao's family.

Even if you are anti-Cao, you still have to keep the bottom line in how you behave.

Lu Bu would not dare to use a person without a bottom line, nor would he bother to work with him, let alone trust him.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, reputation is very important.

Each can be the leader of the banner, rebel or surrender, but you must have a valid reason.

To be able to convince yourself with someone else's excuses.

People can't stand without faith, which is probably the case.
