Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 478 Winning over Chen Gui, undercurrents surge

"Even if you lose the war, so what? Even if you lose the war, people all over the world will know my name Liu Xuande, and they will also know that the Han Dynasty has not declined. People with lofty ideals who have a sincere heart for the Han Dynasty will be inspired and will follow my actions. , In this way, the Han Dynasty can be saved!" Liu Bei said impassionedly.

"My lord has this great wish, the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner!" Tian Yu clasped his hands.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's think about how to repel Cao Cao!" Liu Bei sighed slowly.

Cao Cao, who has a strong army and strong horses, is really a formidable enemy that Liu Bei does not want to face!

……

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

After Tao Kan thought over and over again, he finally made up his mind and planned to join forces with Liu Yun to conspire against him.

Tao Kan also figured it out, it was Tao Qian who was unkind first, so don't blame him for doing unrighteous things!
On this day, Tao Kan and Liu Yun invited Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son to a banquet at Tao Kan's mansion.

As a man matures, Chen Gui has already smelled the unusual smell of gunpowder in the city these days.

So Chen Gui and his son went happily and brought gifts for Tao Kan and Liu Yun.

Chen Gui is no ordinary person, the Chen family is a respectable family of officials and officials.

Although it is incomparable with the Yuan family of four generations and three generations, the energy of the Chen family should not be underestimated.

Chen Gui's uncle is Chen Qiu, who served successively as a county guard, Lieqing, and finally was promoted to Taiwei.

Chen Qiu has two sons and a nephew:
The eldest son, Chen Yu, was the prefect of Wujun;
The second son, Chen Cong, was the prefect of Jiyin;
His nephew, Chen Gui, was once the Prime Minister of Peiguo;
Chen Gui and his son are smart people, and they have never lost money on their investments.

The couple first followed Tao Qian, then welcomed Liu Bei, then attached Lu Bu, and then surrendered to Cao Cao. They played the wise and wise to the limit, and at the same time successfully achieved the maximum profit.

The book returned to the text, after drinking for three rounds, Tao Kan straightforwardly put the rebellion on the surface, and asked Chen Gui and his son for their opinions.

Chen Gui calmly took a sip of his drink, and then said with a smile: "General, do you still need to ask my father and son for their opinions? If the old man refuses to agree, I am afraid that both my father and son will die here Bar?"

Tao Kan nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. has sharp eyes, that's true!"

After finishing speaking, Tao Kan shouted: "Come here!"

After Tao Kan's words fell, more than a hundred elite soldiers in armor and armed weapons immediately rushed out from the rooms on both sides, staring at Chen Gui and his son with unfriendly expressions.

As long as Tao Kan gave an order, Chen Gui and his son would be chopped into meat in an instant.

"Offended!" Tao Kan cupped his hands.

"You don't have to be like this, general. When did the old man say that he was going to be an enemy of the general?" Chen Gui asked with a smile.

"Oh?" Tao Kan waved his hand, and all the soldiers in front of the door retreated to the rooms on both sides.

"Tao Qian is not the master of the Ming Dynasty. Tao Shang and Tao Ying are not as good as Tao Qian. If Tao Qian passes the throne to the general, my father and son will stay in Xuzhou. Otherwise, the day Tao Qian rides the crane will be the Chen family. When the family left Xuzhou. Now the general wants to break away from Tao Qian and go it alone, so my father and son naturally have no reason not to follow." Chen Gui said calmly.

"It's so good! With the help of the two of you, it's like a fish in water, and great things can be expected!" Tao Kan said happily.

"Congratulations, my lord!" Liu Yun congratulated Tao Kan with insight.

"Meet the lord!" Chen Gui and his son changed their words.

"Good! Good! Good!" Tao Kan said three "good" words in a row, obviously very happy.

"My lord, the soldiers of the Tao Shang brothers are nothing to worry about, but the [-] elite soldiers under Cao Bao are a variable." Chen Gui cupped his hands.

"It doesn't matter, if Cao Bao obeys me, I can take away his military power within a few days; if not, I will kill him!" Tao Kan said murderously.

After the mentality changed, Tao Kan, who had figured it out, became more aggressive and decisive, no longer looking forward and backward as before.

"Master Mingjian, the subordinates can rest assured." Chen Gui cupped his hands.

"Come on! Have some wine! I'll toast you two!" Tao Kan raised his glass.

"My lord, please!" Chen Gui and his son raised their glasses.

After the banquet was over, Chen Gui and his son returned home.

After returning home, Chen Deng asked in confusion, "Father, do you really want to join Tao Kan?"

After hearing this, Chen Gui sighed: "Yuanlong, although you are talented and intelligent, but looking at it now, you still have a lot to learn. If you don't do this today, you think my father and son are still alive." Are you going home?"

Chen Deng was dumbfounded and said, "Father, are you saying that Tao Kan's posture is not to scare us?"

Chen Gui said helplessly: "My son, do you see that posture seems to be pretending?"

Chen Deng asked in amazement: "How dare he act like this?"

Chen Gui sighed: "He even dared to do the rebellious thing of changing the court, so what are my father and son?"

After a pause, Chen Gui went on to say: "There are only [-] household guards in the mansion. If we join forces with the pottery brothers, the Chen family will be destroyed in an instant. Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou, is a nameless general. He is a complete idiot, cooperating with him is simply too much to be a father. Therefore, from the current point of view, joining Tao Kan is undoubtedly the best choice."

After hearing this, Chen Deng asked: "But father, didn't you say earlier that you can protect the Chen family by serving Mr. Cao?"

Chen Gui shook his head and said: "It's different now, Cao Gong's army was blocked by Tao Qian in Langya, and he couldn't advance an inch. If he wants to attack Xiapi, it may take some time, because my father wanted to buy Cao Bao to control his troops. , When Duke Cao comes, he will dedicate the city to Duke Cao, but unexpectedly because of his father, Tao Kan has been neglected, so now we can only take one step at a time!"

Chen Deng is a smart person, but he lacks experience. Under Chen Gui's guidance, Chen Deng quickly understood the truth.

Having figured it out, Chen Deng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my father, for teaching me!"

Chen Gui nodded: "My son, go and gather the servants and nurses. Within two days, Tao Kan will attack the potter and his son. Let's not stand by and watch."

Chen Deng clasped his hands and said, "My child obeys!"

That night, Cao Bao was invited to Tao Kan's residence.

Logically speaking, the Tao merchants and Tao Ying brothers should have been aware of Tao Kan's repeated invitations to Chen Deng and his son, Cao Bao, and officials from Xiapi, but the manpower of these two brothers is really limited. Under the premise of not wanting them to know the information, the two brothers almost became blind.

Moreover, Tao Qian had confessed before his departure that he should not cause trouble for no reason to seek Tao Kan's bad luck, and that everything should be based on the overall situation, so the two brothers stayed at the house obediently, did not go anywhere, and did not take any action.

Under the coercion and lure of Tao Kan's big stick and sweet dates, Cao Bao did not hesitate too much, and directly agreed to join forces with Tao Kan, and changed his identity to Tao Kan.

Cao Bao was able to achieve the position of general of Xuzhou, although most of them depended on his qualifications and chance, but this person's ability to observe words and deeds is not weak, otherwise he would not be able to achieve this position.

Cao Bao also understood that if he shouldn't do this, he might have to go in vertically and go out horizontally.

That being the case, then he might as well agree to Tao Kan and save his life to see the aftermath.

　One more!Thank you brother 520 Qixiaoxi for your reward!
