Xiaoguangong

Chapter 199 Of course I am a loyal minister (2930 will be added for oh)

Shangyong Shendan's family is very wealthy, and the surrounding Fangling and Xicheng are also within his sphere of influence. It can be said that he has a remarkable reputation and high ability. In terms of territory, his jurisdiction is even larger than Zhang Lu.

It's just that Shangyong is mountainous, the land is not fertile, and there is more than enough self-defense, but it can't become a base for external development, so Cao Cao didn't bother to take care of him. Instead, he named him a township lord to maintain order in this area.

Shen Dan had heard of the name of Yunshan before, and he thought it would be stupid not to curry favor with such a celebrity as he passed by here. He rewarded the passing soldiers with a large amount of food money, eagerly looking forward to being with this General Yun met and talked about his loyalty to the imperial court, and tried to make his family guard here forever and be the emperor of the land.

Hearing that Yunshan sent Chen Qun to thank the envoy, Shen Dan's eyes lit up even more.

Ah, Yingchuan Chen.

City people.

Such a remote place could welcome such educated urbanites. Shen Dan immediately beamed with joy, and went out to greet him with a smile. Holding Chen Qun's hand with a smile on his face, he said with a big smile:

"The desolate land can actually welcome Mr. Chen's visit, it's not far away, it's not far away.

Mr. Chen please come in, Mr. Chen please come in. "

Chen Qun had already thought about it on the way here, even though forcing Shen Dan back would definitely create trouble for Cao Cao, but if Guan Ping were allowed to occupy Hanzhong, it would not be a problem of trouble, but a big piece of meat would be cut off.

He didn't dare to confront Guan Ping head-on, so he could only use this crooked method.

At least it can delay his growing power.

Before meeting Shen Dan, Chen Qun had already decided to act like a famous scholar, mess around, and then accused Shen Dan of disobedience to Wang Hua, saying that today he was here to exterminate him.

But when the two met, Shen Dan's appearance really shocked Chen Qun.

This person is more than eight feet tall, with a body as strong as a bull, with a pair of terrifying triangular eyes shining brightly. He smiles slightly, and the corners of his mouth are curved into a crescent shape, revealing a mouthful of rotten yellow and incomplete teeth. Chen Qun was beaten to death with his fist.

Chen Qun was so oppressed that he couldn't speak. Shen Dan thought that Chen Qun was nervous, and his huge hands slowly grabbed Chen Qun's arm, and dragged Chen Qun away with a casual tug.

"Hehehehe, Mr. Chen, please be polite. Coming here is like returning to your own home. Someone has ordered someone to kill pigs and sheep. Mr. Chen eats and drinks as much as he wants. Who dares to treat Mr. Chen slowly..."

Shen Dan's triangular eyes revealed a glint of fierceness:
"I broke his neck!"

Chen Qun shivered suddenly, thinking what kind of mountain ghost has become the eunuch to be the prefect?

He hurriedly said timidly:
"Here, Jun, you are right... You are being polite."

There are many scribes who pretend to be aggressive in front of the princes, but no one dares to pretend to be aggressive in front of bandits.

We all know that Shangyong is mountainous, and this closed environment will of course create a large number of bandits.

Shen Dan is the strongest, most tyrannical, and most capable bandit leader in this area. He runs the surrounding area like a huge cottage, making Chen Qun, who had already accumulated a lot of bold words, afraid to speak at all. Being dragged away by Shen Dan like a dead dog, watching the undivided wine and meat in front of him, sweating profusely.

What to do, why is it different from what I said.

Shen Dan didn't know how to associate with such celebrities, so he invited Chen Qun to sit on the table, and asked his subordinates to put the roast lamb that had been roasting all over the place in front of Chen Qun, then slowly drew out his saber, and heroically chopped off the sheep's head. Skillfully separated the leg of lamb, sprinkled a lot of Wudu peppercorns and cumin from the Western Regions on top, and enthusiastically said:

"Mr. Chen, please use it!"

Chen Qun nodded timidly, but he could also feel Shen Dan's kindness.

Well, calm down, this person should still have a heart for the imperial court and will not be rude to me.

I'll change my strategy and wait and see. Maybe he can be used by me. If I can kill Guan Ping, it will be a blessing.

"Your Majesty, General Yun is attacking Zhang Lu this time..."

Shen Dan's complexion changed, and he laughed loudly again: "I will only talk about romance today, not about state affairs. Come on, come on, let Chen Gongman go, gentlemen, who dares to talk about war anymore, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The friendship between Shen Dan and Zhang Lu is not bad, but he is not a believer in Wudoumi, and it is necessary to clarify such things as dead friends and poor Taoists.

He thought Yunshan was worried that Shen Dan would destroy him from behind when the court attacked Zhang Lu, so he quickly changed the subject.

Just kidding, why should I help Zhang Lu, there is nothing at all.

He kept pouring wine for Chen Qun, and frequently asked Chen Qun to drink freely. Although Chen Qun had a good capacity for drinking, he couldn't stand this continuous drinking method, and soon passed out. Seeing that Chen Qun was drinking so happily, Shen Dan simply called people Chen Qun stayed overnight.

The next day Chen Qun slept until noon and didn't get up in a daze. Before he could react, Shen Dan brought a group of people to persuade him to drink again.

Chen Qun wanted to refuse very much, but Shen Dan was so enthusiastic that he poured another pot of water on Chen Qun, and Chen Qun fell asleep again in a daze.

When Chen Qun woke up on the third day, it was afternoon again. Shen Dan brought a group of nobles from Fangling to experience Chen Qun's elegance. In this way, he still fell asleep.

On the fourth day, no one came to ask Chen Qun for a drink. After sleeping until the afternoon, Chen Qun got up in a daze, and finally remembered that he still had important things to do.

What the hell, I actually drank with a group of bandits for three days, isn't this a joke?
He went out with a murderous look, and when he saw the burly and tall Shen Dan coming from a distance, holding a huge wine jar in his hand, he shuddered.

"Your Majesty! I can't drink any more, I have something important to do today!"

"What's the matter?" Shen Dan yawned, "The folks in Xicheng heard that Mr. Chen is coming, and they also want to see Mr. Chen's face. They are already on their way."

"No, no, I'm going to conquer Zhang Lu in the west!"

"Ah? Zhang Lu?" Shen Dan was stunned, "Oh, General Yun and the others have left. Let's rest assured that they will come back to pick up Chen Gong after the fight is over."

"Ah?!" Chen Qun was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, "What did you say? Gone?"

"That's right, we're all gone, Mr. Chen is fine anyway, let's keep drinking, the sky won't fall!"

Guan Ping held Chen Qun for three days, but Chen Qun couldn't stop drinking.

God knows why he was so speculative with Shen Dan, why he stayed here and never left.

He took Chen Qun with him to prevent Chen Qun from causing trouble when he went out to fight, but now that Shen Dan, a drunkard, was looking at him, Guan Ping felt more at ease.

He told Shen Dan that the imperial court knew his painstaking efforts very well, and that the crusade against Zhang Lu was only because of Zhang Lu's crime of killing the prefect of Hanzhong.

As long as Shen Dan treated Chen Qun well, when Guan Ping came back, he would naturally continue to speak well of Shen Dan in front of the court.

Shen Dan was in full bloom, and swore again and again, saying that being a member of the village was already a blessing in his previous life, and of course he had to work hard to satisfy the court, and would never do anything that would endanger the great man.

He also took the initiative to give up the west city as the confluence of supplies for the expedition, and even sent his sailors as the vanguard of Guan Ping, hoping to make Zhang Lu recognize the destiny.

This distorted Chen Qunqi's face.

No, I have to figure out a way.

Seeing Shen Dan's appearance of a drunken man with a dull mind, he hurriedly called him into the room, closed the door with his own hands, and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, may I ask you if you are loyal to the imperial court?"

"Of course it is!" Shen Dan's eyes widened, "I, Shen Dan, came from a humble background, and I was greatly favored by the imperial court. Ah, for the sake of Prime Minister Cao, I, Shen Dan, will never frown even if I am asked to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire."

"Okay." Chen Qun said coldly, "I've heard about Junhou Zhongyong for a long time. Now there is an opportunity to serve the court in front of Junhou, and it depends on whether Junhou dares to make contributions and honor his ancestors."

"Why don't you dare?" Shen Dan said angrily, "What did the imperial court ask me to do? I, Shen Dan, will never refuse."

"Let me tell you, this cloud mountain is actually Guan Ping's fake work! Do you believe it?"

"Ah?" Shen Dan looked at Chen Qun stupidly, not knowing what Chen Qun was going to say for a while.

Chen Qun quickly explained all the grievances and grievances between him and Guan Ping, and then sighed:

"This kid is really cunning.

In the land of Jingzhou, everyone is under his control.Now Prime Minister Cao also fell into his trick and asked him to attack Hanzhong.

Of course Zhang Lu in Hanzhong wanted to fight, but if Guan Ping was the first to conquer this place, he would definitely seal off the various places and block the king's division. When Liu Bei took the opportunity to enter Shu, he would be even more difficult to deal with than Zhang Lu. "

"Now there are great fortunes and honors in front of you—as long as you take advantage of Guan Ping's attack on Hanzhong to cut off the back road, burn Guan Ping's boat with fire, and attack Zhang Lu from east to west, Guan Ping will definitely lose!"

"The prime minister has seen the loyalty and bravery of your step, and he will reward you generously. This matter is absolutely true, and I hope that your step will not refuse."

Shen Dan was taken aback, his face full of disbelief.

Chen Qun said solemnly:

"Don't you believe me, Chen Qun?"

"No, no, no!" He quickly waved his hands, "I admire Mr. Chen so much, why don't you believe it? I will do what Mr. Chen says! With Mr. Chen's righteousness, is there anyone in the world who doesn't believe Mr. Chen?"

"Don't gossip.

I, Shen Dan, is a member of the imperial court, and it is my responsibility to seek thieves for the imperial court. I will lead my subordinates to meet Guan Ping. I don't believe that Guan Ping is still superhuman! "

Chen Qun breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally wanted to force Shen Dan to rebel and keep Guan Ping here. When Guan Ping fought Shangyong, Cao Cao probably had taken Hanzhong long ago. As long as Hanzhong didn't fall into Guan Ping's hands, it would be fine.

I didn't expect this guy to be so easy to persuade. After all, a group of bandits are easy to deceive. Let him fight Guan Ping. Although Zhang Lu is cheaper, it is worthwhile as long as Liu Bei's influence is not allowed to penetrate into Hanzhong.

The two were happy with each other, Shen Dan quickly asked his younger brother Shen Yi to take Chen Qun to a military parade, ready to go out, and when the two left, Shen Dan finally showed a look of relief on his face.

He snorted coldly, squeezed his chin and read slowly:

"Guan Ping...well, Guan Ping."
