Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 310 Secretly palming Dongping, Zheng Ping conspired against Lu Bu

Chen stay.

Lu Bu sat on the table with a strong horse and a golden sword, while Wei Xu and Hou Cheng separated on both sides.

And in front of him was a Confucian scholar with a resolute face and a ferocious air. It was Cheng Yu, a famous official from the Eastern Commandery.

"I heard that Mr. Cheng used to be Liu Dai's aide, so he has a wonderful plan."

"I respect scribes the most in my life, especially a scribe with real talent and practical work like Mr. Cheng."

"To invite Mr. Cheng here today is to invite Mr. Cheng to be the general's staff."

"This general is the general with the right to open the government. Following this general, Mr. Cheng's status will not be worse than that of following Liu Dai in the past."

Compared with Liu Bei and Cao Cao's attitude towards the Magi, Lu Bu is more direct.

people, invited.

As for the salute, how can a general salute a scholar among the people?

Shouldn't it be an honor for the general to conscript a group of civilian scholars?

Cheng Yu frowned secretly when he saw that although Lu Bu wanted to invite him, he was sitting in a very casual posture, even unwilling to stand up and hand in hand.

Originally, I just came to Chenliu to visit friends, because a group of young scholars respectfully called "Zhongde Gong" a few words, and then I was forcibly escorted here by Lu Bu's soldiers and horses.

Cheng Yu wanted to say "no", but after carefully observing Lu Bu's expression, he rejected this idea.

"It's Yu's honor to be favored by the Great General, but Yu's family members are still in Dongjun, can Rong Yu go back to Dongjun." Cheng Yu made up a lie.

After returning to Dongjun and moving immediately, who would be stupid enough to be Lu Bu's aide?
Lu Bu waved his hand: "Since Mr. Cheng is willing to be the general's staff, how can the general not take care of Mr. Cheng's family?"

"Hou Cheng, you personally lead fifty elite cavalry to escort Mr. Cheng's family to Chenliu. If you lose a finger to Mr. Cheng's family, don't come back."

Hou Cheng bowed his hands and took the order: "The last general will get the order."

The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth twitched, as if ten thousand horses were whizzing by in his heart.

"Yu, thank you General for your love." Cheng Yu, who had already passed the age of youth and vigor, reluctantly obeyed Lu Bu's conquest.

If the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about no firewood.

It would be extremely unwise to annoy Lu Bu.

Lu Bu laughed: "Zhongde, this general is a great general, the most trusted general of the emperor. As long as you seriously advise this general and return to Xudu, this general will act as a marquis for you by the emperor. will humiliate you."

But in a short while, Lu Bu's address changed from "Mr. Cheng" to "Zhong De".

Cheng Yu didn't mind the title, he was just a subordinate, so why not?

Lu Bu ordered Wei Xu to bring wine and water to Cheng Yu. After drinking three bottles, Lu Bu asked bluntly, "Zhong De, the purpose of coming to Chenliu this time is to depose Zang Hong and take charge of Yanzhou for the imperial court."

"Do you have a good plan?"

A few understatement words shocked Cheng Yu.

Depose Zang Hong?

Is this Lu Bu's purpose?
No, no, this is Cao Cao's purpose.

Cheng Yu had heard about Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's imprisonment.

However, Lv Bu, who worked hard to rescue the king with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, is now safe and sound, and swaggeringly came to Yanzhou to serve as Chen Liu's prefect, intending to depose Zang Hong, the Yanzhou shepherd.

Reminiscent of Lu Bu killing his adoptive father twice, Cheng Yu can easily guess Lu Bu's current position.

But Cheng Yu was reluctant to depose Zang Hong.

Zang Hong has always been committed to people's livelihood in Yanzhou.

Whether it is persuading farming and mulberry classes or setting up education, this is of great benefit to the scholars and people of Yanzhou.

Now that Lu Bu came, he said that he would depose Zang Hong and take charge of Yanzhou for the court?

Doesn't that mean that Yanzhou has fallen into the disaster of war?
But if he doesn't come up with a plan, Cheng Yu is afraid that he won't survive tomorrow.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Cheng Yu's eyes flashed a trace of cruelty, what does it have to do with Cheng Yu if there is a war in Yanzhou?
Take care of others first, you can't even take care of yourself, how can you talk about caring for others.

"General, Yu already has three strategies." Cheng Yu said cautiously.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "If there is a good policy, what about the middle policy and the bad policy? Just talk about the best policy!"

Cheng Yu was almost choked, apparently not used to Lu Bu's way of asking questions.

After a pause, Cheng Yu calmed down his emotions, and said in a concentrated voice: "The best policy is to secretly rectify the powerful, assassinate Zang Hong, the general will send troops to quell the chaos, and take charge of Yanzhou on behalf of the imperial court!"

"This strategy is the most urgent and the most dangerous."

"If the assassination is successful, the general will be in charge of Yanzhou in ten days; if the assassination fails, Zang Hong will be sent back to Dongping, and it will be difficult to get rid of Zang Hong."

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes: "Zang Hong has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness in Yanzhou. Could there be any powerful people who are dissatisfied with Zang Hong?"

Cheng Yu nodded: "No matter how benevolent and righteous the state shepherd is, it is impossible to take into account the interests of all powerful people. The Hao clan of Dongping Kingdom is among them."

"Hao Meng insisted on raising troops to help Zhang Miao because of disagreement with Zang Hongzheng, and died in the turmoil. Although Zang Hong did not question the Hao family because of his benevolence and righteousness, the Hao family may not be convinced of Zang Hong."

"The general can secretly send people to lobby the Hao family and gather dead men to assassinate Zang Hong."

"As soon as Zang Hong died, the general was ordered by the emperor to appease the counties. Who would dare to refuse?"

Ever since he was tricked by Cao Cao last time, Lu Bu became a little more suspicious in his actions.

For anyone's words, there is a subconscious thought of "there is always someone who wants to harm me".

Cheng Yu's best strategy made Lu Bu a little confused, but he didn't know where he was confused.

a long time.

Lu Bu stared at Cheng Yu and said, "When Zhongde's family comes to Chenliu, how about Zhongde going to Dongping Kingdom himself? As long as you can persuade the Hao family to assassinate Zang Hong, you will have made the first contribution."

Cheng Yu couldn't help cursing secretly.

"Why is Lu Bu so suspicious?"

"Let the old man go to lobby the Hao clan, success or failure has nothing to do with Lu Bu."

"Miscalculation!"

"That man Lu Bu!"

Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, Cheng Yu also understood the truth that "a scholar meets a soldier, and there is no reason to explain it".

Three days later.

Cheng Yu's family members were "escorted" by Hou Cheng to Chenliu City. Seeing that Cheng Yu was so straightforward, Lu Bu personally sent Cheng Yu out of the city, saying: "Zhongde, I will wait for your good news in Chenliu. Don't let me Disappointed!"

After Cheng Yu left, Zhang Liao said worriedly: "General, if we threaten Cheng Yu's family, it will definitely make Cheng Yu hateful. If Cheng Yu plays tricks, I'm afraid that the general will be tricked."

The reason why Lu Bu switched to Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others did not know the inside story.

Lu Bu didn't have the face to tell others about this matter.

Can't you tell Zhang Liao and others that you made a mistake with your lower body because you got drunk and were greedy for beauty?
"It's okay, with family members here, I'm not afraid that Cheng Yu will make trouble." Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, and Cheng Yu's family members came to mind again.

Oh, dare to play tricks?
Is it true that this will be the same as last time?
Cheng Yu came to Dongping Kingdom alone, but did not go to the Hao clan, but came to Fan County and visited Jin Yun, the county magistrate of Fan County.

Knowing Cheng Yu's purpose, Jin Yun turned pale with shock: "Mr. Zhong De, Zang Shijun is diligent in government and loves the people, how can he assassinate for no reason? If Lv Bu is in charge of Yanzhou, Yanzhou's disaster will be unpredictable."

Cheng Yu sighed softly: "The old man's family is held hostage by Lu Bu, there is nothing he can do about it. He wanted to deceive Lu Bu and let Lu Bu send someone to lobby the Hao family, so the old man stayed in Chenliu to stop."

"As a result, Lu Bu didn't trust the old man, so he asked the old man to lobby the Hao clan in person."

Jin Yuning said: "Hao Meng and Hao Jian died in the fight between Cao Cao and Zhang Miao. How could the Hao family assassinate Mr. Zang because of this?"

Cheng Yu nodded: "This old man deliberately deceived Lu Bu. When Lu Bu's subordinates go to lobby the Hao clan, they will definitely be beaten and scolded, and Lu Bu's intentions will also be known to Mr. Zang."

"The old man can blame Lü Bu's subordinates for their arrogance and lack of lobbying skills, which angered the Hao clan."

"In this way, the old man can mediate between the two parties without being held accountable afterwards."

Cheng Yu is indeed treacherous.

On the one hand, he pretended to be attached to Lu Bu, and on the other hand, he secretly disrupted the situation.

The only thing Cheng Yu didn't expect was that Lu Bu would ask Cheng Yu to lobby, but any normal person should keep Cheng Yu in Chen Liucheng.

"Mr. Zhongde, maybe you can go to Lu County." Jin Yun reminded.

Cheng Yu was slightly taken aback: "What are you doing in Lu County? This old man is not very familiar with Prefect Bao either."

Jin Yun shook his head: "It's not Prefect Bao, but Zheng Ping, the military division general under General Zuo of Qingzhou, who is also in Lu County!"

Cheng Yu's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously recalled the past when Liu Bei defeated Guo and captured Liu Dai, and couldn't help feeling a little more afraid.

"Why is Zheng Ping still in Yanzhou?" Cheng Yu's eyes changed.

There is something in Jin Yun's words: "Mr. Zhongde, I can't say more. It's just that Mr. Zhongde went to Lu County. Zheng Junshi must be very happy."

Cheng Yu's eyes became deeper: "Magistrate Jin, you and this old man are from the same county, so you probably won't lie to me. I'll just go to Lu County."

Vaguely, Cheng Yu had already guessed the reason.

However, guessing the reason made Cheng Yu even more afraid.

"It seems that the old man's position can no longer be swayed." Cheng Yu's expression was serious.

One was Lu Bu, who came on behalf of Cao Cao, and told Cheng Yu frankly that he would depose Zang Hong and take charge of Yanzhou.

One is Zheng Ping, who came on behalf of Liu Bei, and there are few clues about his secret behavior. If Jin Yun and Cheng Yu were old friends in the same county, and deliberately reminded Cheng Yu to go to Lu County to find Zheng Ping, Cheng Yu would not have guessed that Zheng Ping's hand had already reached Fan County. !
Thinking of his advice to Lu Bu, Cheng Yu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat!
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu bid farewell to Jin Yun, and went straight to Lu County.

Before reaching Lu County, Cheng Yu was stopped by a strong man with ring eyes.

"Your Excellency is a famous official in Dongjun, Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde? Zhang Fei, the commander of Qingzhou First Battalion, please be courteous." It was Zhang Fei who came, and he asked with his arms folded.

Cheng Yu couldn't help frowning and looking at him: "This old man is Cheng Yu, General Zhang is not in Qingzhou, why did he block the way here?"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Since Mr. Zhongde left Fan County, I have been keeping track of his whereabouts. I am blocking the way here because the military adviser wants to meet you here."

Cheng Yu's expression changed.

From Fan County to Lu County, the whereabouts have been kept under control?

Doesn't it mean that the entire Dongping Kingdom is already under Zhang Fei's control?
Zhang Fei turned to ask, "Mr. Zhongde, I know you have a lot of questions. When you see the military adviser, your questions will naturally get the answers you want."

"Please!"

Cheng Yu took a deep breath and followed Zhang Fei into the forest without asking any further questions.

I don't know how many directions I turned before stopping in a dense forest.

"Mr. Zhongde, don't blame me. This place is relatively remote. If there is no one to guide the way, it is easy to get lost." Zhang Fei explained with a smile.

Cheng Yu became more and more frightened as he walked.

This feeling of being in the hands of others made Cheng Yu very afraid.

After a while, Cheng Yu saw Zheng Ping deep in the dense forest.

"Mr. Zhongde, long time no see." Zheng Ping stood up and saluted with his fan.

Cheng Yu's pupils shrank, and he quickly returned the salute.

The last time I saw Zheng Ping was when Liu Bei defeated Guo Guo and captured Liu Dai alive.

Although Zheng Ping was young, Cheng Yu didn't dare to treat Zheng Ping as an ordinary young man with a weak crown.

Zheng Ping invited Cheng Yu to sit down, while Zhang Fei served white water.

While pouring water for Cheng Yu, Zheng Ping asked: "Mr. Zhongde refused to serve Duke Xuande in the past, but now he is willing to serve Lu Bu. This makes Ping very puzzled."

Cheng Yu's heart trembled even more.

Jin Yun even told Zheng Ping about this?
Cheng Yu and Jin Yun are old friends from the same county, and they can trust each other.

Even so, Jin Yun still sent someone to inform Zheng Ping about the meeting with Cheng Yu.

"Mr. Zheng was joking. Yu has always pursued Xianyun Yehe, so why would he serve Lu Bu?" Cheng Yu didn't hide it, and said frankly: "Just because Lu Bu kidnapped his family, Yu had to temporarily submit to Lu Bu's command."

"Mr. Zhongde must be angry because Lu Bu is so rude." Zheng Ping picked up the water bottle and shook it lightly: "The purpose of inviting Mr. Zhongde here today is also to solve Mr. Zhongde's distress."

"If Mr. Zhongde is willing, how about singing a good show for Lu Bu with Ping?"

"Ping assures Mr. Zhongde that he will never let Mr. Zhongde's family members suffer because of this."

Cheng Yu looked solemn: "Does Yu still have the right to choose?"

Zheng Ping laughed: "Of course! Mr. Zhongde can also choose to be my enemy!"

Although Zheng Ping only said the words "be my enemy" in an ordinary tone, Cheng Yu felt a strong killing intent.

Enemy with Zheng Ping?
Unless the old man is stupid!

Cheng Yu was self-aware, how could a well-known civil official be an enemy of a military adviser general who was famous all over the world in Zuo General's residence?

"I don't know how to cooperate with Master Zheng." Cheng Yu decisively chose to follow the trend.

Whether it was Lu Bu or Zheng Ping, Cheng Yu couldn't afford to offend them.

If you want to save your life, it depends on who can dominate the ups and downs of Yanzhou.

Zheng Ping said slowly: "Mr. Zhongde, does Mr. Zang know that Shijun Zang is seriously ill?"

Cheng Yu's expression changed: "When did this happen?"

Zheng Ping sighed softly: "As early as a month ago, Envoy Zang met the assassin. Although the assassin was killed, Envoy Zang also fell ill because of it."

"The one who presides over the overall situation in Dongping now is just a stand-in who looks similar to Mr. Zang. Everything is running under the orders of Ping Zai."

"That's why, as soon as you went to Fan County to look for Jin Yun, Ping knew your whereabouts."

"However, after a long time as a stand-in, there will always be flaws."

"In order to solve the Yanzhou problem once and for all, I can only ask Mr. Zhongde for help, come and invite you into the urn!"

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan, his deep pupils could hardly see his emotions.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
