Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 191
Huai River, south bank.

Gao Shun's troops had already withdrawn, and Cheng Yu easily boarded the south bank with two guards. Looking at the messy battlefield around him, many corpses of Shouchun's army were still waiting to be disposed of along the bank.

The city wall of Shouchun was in the distance, but Cheng Yu felt a little heavy in his heart. He guessed that it would be difficult to get the jade seal during his trip. Cheng Yu had dealt with Lu Bu before, and he was a greedy and cunning person. After getting the jade seal, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to hand it over easily.

But after all, it is a trip.

When he walked all the way to the bottom of the city, the sky had already begun to dim, and the gate of Shouchun City was closed. When he looked up, he saw the flames flickering on the top of the city, and the soldiers were heavily armored. The popular popularity is attached to it.

It's only been a day, and Lu Bu has already gained the popularity of Shouchun?

Cheng Yu felt a little unbelievable.

"Soldiers in the city, we are imperial court envoys. We are here to see Marquis Wen, and we hope to open the door!" The attendant stepped forward to call the door under Cheng Yu's signal.

On the top of the city, a general poked his head out, looked at a few people, and said loudly, "What evidence do you have?"

The attendant frowned and said, "We came from the other side, if it wasn't for Sikong's order, who would have the ability to cross the river at this moment?"

"Okay, the lord has an order, let them in when the envoys come, don't make things difficult!" Wei Yan walked over and waved his hand: "Kaicheng, let them in."

From here to the bank of the river, there is no shelter. At a glance, you can see a panoramic range of more than ten miles around. If the other party is cheating, you can't escape Wei Yan's eyes.

"Here!" The general agreed, and went to order the soldiers to open the city gate.

Cheng Yu couldn't see Wei Yan, but he heard what he said. Lu Bu had expected it?

Chen Gong.

It was impossible for Cheng Yujue's Lu Bu to think so thoughtfully, so he stopped thinking and went straight into the city with his entourage.

"Boom~"

The city gate was closed after everyone entered the city. In the deep city gate, there were only the sound of burning torches and the footsteps of the people. Along the way, there were more than ten soldiers guarding the city gate, watching everyone with indifferent eyes. If you are timid, I'm afraid I'll lose my temper.

Cheng Yu was not afraid, and walked straight out of the city gate. The city that came into view was different from what he had imagined. There was no massacre after breaking the city. Instead, he saw Xuzhou army distributing food to the people in many places along the way. , although it was not friendly, but the food was really given, and the people consciously waited in line, and there was no sign of confusion, with sincere smiles on their faces.

Send food to gain popular support?
Cheng Yu felt that it was not that simple. It was just a matter of delivering food. Whether the people dared to ask for it was a matter of opinion, let alone gaining popularity in just one day. There might be something in it that he didn't know, but It's not easy to explore at this time.

They didn't know how Lv Bu forced Yuan Shu to give up Shouchun. The information sent here was not detailed, but what they saw on the surface seemed a little strange to Cheng Yu.

Under normal circumstances, when the owner of the city changes, the people should not run around in the streets. It is quite the opposite of what we see now.

When they came all the way to the government office, Lu Bu had already received the news that he brought Chu Nan out of the palace, and Chen Gong and other generals also came. For the court envoys, superficial respect should be given.

"Cheng Yu met Marquis Wen." When he came to the main hall of the government office, Cheng Yu smiled at Lu Bu.

"Zhong De." Seeing Cheng Yu, Lu Bu nodded and said, "Although we didn't meet each other in Yanzhou last time, it was considered a fight. Why are you here today?"

The last time, it was Lu Bu who took over Yanzhou at the invitation of Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others. Yanzhou was almost taken by Lu Bu at the beginning, but it was a pity that the success fell short and he was kicked out of Yanzhou by Cao Cao.

"Congratulations to Marquis Wen first, punish the country's thieves!" Cheng Yu laughed.

"It can't be regarded as punishment. Although our army broke the city, Yuan Shu had already escaped from Shouchun when our army broke the city. It's a pity that he disappeared." Lu Bu sighed and said with regret.

After staying with Chen Gong and his son-in-law for a long time, I have unknowingly contracted the problem of speaking insincerely, tsk~
"Leaving?" Cheng Yu frowned and looked at Lu Bu: "Mr. Gongtai and the general are here, so Yuan Shu can escape?"

"What do you mean by Mr. Zhongde?" Chu Nan asked with a smile: "Everything can't be speculated with common sense. If you say this, then in the past in Nanyang, the fierce generals around Duke Cao were like clouds, and they were also killed by Nanyang Zhang Xiu He fled in embarrassment, not only the general died in battle, but also the life of the eldest son, Master said, if this battle is calculated according to common sense, is there any reason for Duke Cao to lose?"

"Ziyan?" Cheng Yu looked at Chu Nan, and said apologetically, "Forgive me, Fang Caiyu didn't see Ziyan."

"It doesn't matter. I heard that my eyesight is short-sighted. It's common sense that my husband can't see me. What's the crime?" Chu Nan said with a smile.

"Zi Yan's words are still so sharp." Cheng Yu didn't get angry, just shook his head and smiled, "But how did I hear that Yuan Shu took the initiative to open the city? It seems that there was a discussion between Marquis Wen and Yuan Shu beforehand?"

"Where did you hear this, sir? My lord is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. At this moment, discussing with that Yuan Shu is not betraying the court? Those who make such remarks should be punished!" Chu Nan shook his head with a serious face. Said: "I also hope that the master will tell who is the solicitor. Such solicitors will definitely be punished by their nine clans!"

"No, no, it's just that when I first entered the city, I heard people discussing this matter occasionally, so I asked this question." Cheng Yu waved his hands again and again.

"Oh..." Chu Nan said with a disappointed face after hearing the words: "That's impossible. Everyone in the world knows that my Lord loves the people like a son, but because of this, he often touches the interests of the big clan. I think it must be the noble clan in Shouchun." People can't be killed for telling the truth and fooling the people, but I think these big families who tell the truth should be singled out and killed as an example to others. I also want to thank you for telling the truth. Congratulations, sir!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu glanced at Chu Nan, and sighed, "Yuan Shu is gone, so the Imperial Seal..."

"I'm also looking for it, but I haven't found it yet." Chu Nan shook his head and said with regret.

"Oh?" Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Why don't our troops enter the city to search together?"

"Naturally it would be the best." Chu Nan said with a smile, "When will Mr. Cao cross the river? I'll welcome him in the city!"

Looking at Chu Nan with a sincere face, Cheng Yu knew that if Cao Cao really dared to lead his troops across the river, this black-bellied boy might dare to persuade Lu Bu to kill Cao Cao.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but not only his words are still sharp, but his heart is even darker.

"This matter needs to be discussed with the lord after I go back. There is no rush. Since the jade seal has not been found yet, it is inconvenient for me to stay longer. It is time to report to the lord." Cheng Yu sighed.

"Why should Zhong De be in such a hurry? Yuan Shu is now defeated. Although Yuan Shu has escaped, the war should be over. It's getting late now, and I'm preparing to celebrate tonight. Zhong De might as well stay in Shouchun for a night, and I won't be able to leave tomorrow. Late." Lu Bu laughed.

"Yes." Chu Nan nodded, looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Although Yuan Shu failed to catch it, and the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom also failed to find it, but it was a big victory after all, why bother to go back in such a hurry, I have many problems I want to ask Mr.

"I don't dare to ask for advice." Cheng Yu looked at the sky, which had completely dimmed. He nodded immediately and said, "Since Marquis Wen invites you, how dare Yu refuse?"

He really wanted to set his tone and find out the truth.

But the banquet that night put Cheng Yu on pins and needles.

It's not about hiding murderous intentions, but those who participated in the banquet were basically military generals. Cheng Yu was well-informed and had participated in countless banquets. At the banquet, it seemed that only Chen Gong and Chu Nan could communicate normally.

Seeing the old god Chen Gong sitting on his desk drinking, Cheng Yu looked for a topic several times, but the other party responded lightly, which made Cheng Yu a little helpless. Although the two parties were old acquaintances, it was obvious that Chen Gong did not follow His desire to communicate, or in other words, as long as he is Cao Cao's person, Chen Gong doesn't want to talk to him.

The only one left who can communicate is Chu Nan, but this kid is always playing tricks on him, trying to get information about Cao Cao's army from him. come out.

Cheng Yu could only change the subject and discuss some literary classics with Chu Nan. He remembered that this kid seemed eloquent, but he didn't have much in his stomach.

However, in the middle of the night when the two sides communicated, Cheng Yu became more and more frightened. Regardless of knowledge or national policy, this kid was able to answer back and forth with him! ?
How long has it been?

In a few months, can an ignorant teenager become a man of knowledge?Or does Chen Gong, a newly promoted Confucian, really have the ability to turn decay into magic?
Cheng Yu rejected the latter. It's not that he has never seen great Confucians, but there are not many who can turn decay into magic. The only explanation is that this kid was hiding his clumsiness last time in Xuchang.

"Ziyan deceived me. When he was in Sikong Mansion last time, he was not as talented as he is now. Don't tell me that it took several months." Cheng Yu looked at Chu Nan and said with a sigh.

Chu Nan was silent for a moment when he heard the words. Wouldn't it be a bit too flamboyant to say that he is a peerless genius who is one in a million?
But at that time, I was really a layman in terms of learning!
In order to avoid hurting Cheng Yu, Chu Nan pointed to his teacher and said, "It's all due to the teacher's good teaching. Of course, it is also inseparable from the hard work of my subordinates. The so-called shame and then courage, since the last time in Xuchang with Cao Gong, After Mr. Zhongde's remarks, he felt deeply ignorant, so since he returned to Xuzhou, he has been hanging his head and stabbing his ass, and now he has finally achieved something, which made him laugh."

Head cantilevered, cone stabbed?
Lu Bu and Chen Gong glanced at Chu Nan, they didn't expose him, it was hard work, but if you say hanging beams and stabbing ass... Based on their understanding of Chu Nan, they would definitely not believe it.

But Cheng Yu believed it. After all, Chu Nan had changed a lot before and after. Without this kind of suffering and tenacity, how could he have the knowledge he has today, and he looked at Chu Nan with a bit of admiration: "Zi Yan can have such Perseverance is indeed a role model for younger generations.”

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Nan said modestly.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Cheng Yu was sent to the guest room with a little bit of drunkenness. Chu Nan and the others didn't gather to discuss again, and it was basically time to argue with each other. As long as Cao Cao didn't tear his face, he basically just said a few words Talk on the scene, and then go back to each house...
