Chapter 731: Unity of Opinion
Liu Bei did not agree to send troops, and Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were helpless.
The two were defeated by Wang Can, and there were only a few thousand soldiers under their command, and they could not attack Shangyong alone.
However, Liu Bei has the military power of more than 20,000 soldiers, and Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are helpless even if they want to send troops, and Liu Bei is also a strong force that cannot be ignored.
Lu Bu was anxious for revenge, but there was no way out, and his heart was extremely sad and angry.
In the camp tent, Lu Bu borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and he was drunk.
He leaned back on the desk, tilted his head to look at the bottle full of wine, and kept muttering. Although he was a little drunk and couldn't pronounce clearly, he could vaguely hear the names of Wang Can and Liu Bei. You don't have to think about it to guess that Lu Bu is eager to kill Wang Can to vent his hatred, and for Liu Bei, he scolds Liu Bei for not sending troops.
"Boom! Boom! ”
Lu Bu picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank it all.
He kept numbing himself with wine, and in a short time, an urn of wine was drunk by Lu Bu. But the more he drank, the more sober he became, he held the wine jar, shook it violently twice, threw the wine jar aside, and shouted: "Come, bring wine, bring wine!" He shouted loudly, an impatient expression on his face.
However, Lu Bu waited for a long time, but did not see the soldiers come in with wine.
Lu Bu looked up and saw a middle-aged scribe standing in front of him in a daze.
The person in front of him is undoubtedly Chen Gong.
Lu Bu said hesitantly: "Gongtai, why are you here?" Lu Bu showed a suspicious look on his face, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Gong, kept swinging his arms, and said: "Our army is stationed outside Shangyong City, but we don't send troops to attack the city, what kind of reason is this." Gongtai, you go and think of a way, think of a way! ”
A hint of disgust flashed in Chen Gong's eyes, and he sighed slightly.
As a monarch, it is difficult to achieve great things if you give up on yourself!
Chen Gong bowed slightly, clenched his fists and said: "Lord, the scout who went to inquire about the news has returned, and it has been reported that Wang Can's army has rushed to Shangyong, and it seems that he is preparing for a decisive battle." However, although Wang Can's army is here, it is also our opportunity. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and his hazy eyes disappeared immediately.
His expression was serious, his eyes were cold and domineering, and he asked in a deep voice, "Gongtai, have you thought of a way?" ”
Chen Gong nodded and said, "Well, I just thought of a plan!" ”
After a pause, Chen Gong said again: "The lord is now full of wine, wash up first, and then let people clean up the debris in the camp tent." He glanced around the tent and saw that there were wine jars everywhere on the ground, which showed that Lu Bu had drunk an unknown amount of wine. Chen Gong walked out of the camp tent, asked the soldiers to boil water for Lu Bu to wash, and asked the soldiers to clean the wine jars in the camp tent.
Half an hour later, Chen Gong returned to the tent and sat down in the tent.
After Lu Bu washed up, he changed into a white coat and asked, "Gongtai, what is the plan, come and hear it." ”
Chen Gong said: "According to the report of the scouts, Wang Can has sent a large army to come, and Lu Meng is the vanguard. In this case, Yuan Shu can lead troops to block Lü Meng's vanguard army and delay Lü Meng's arrival at Shangyong. At the same time, he asked the soldiers to disguise themselves as Lü Meng's vanguard army and blend into the city. Then, we will attack the city again, as long as we control Shangyong City and wait for Lü Meng's vanguard army to enter the city, we can catch turtles in the urn and defeat Lü Meng. When Wang Can's army arrives, and if he does the same, he will be able to defeat Wang Can. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and laughed, and praised Chen Gong again and again.
He didn't care if it worked, he just had to come up with a solution.
Lu Bu shouted: "Someone! ”
Suddenly, a soldier quickly ran in and saluted Lu Bu. Lu Bu instructed: "Send someone to invite Yuan Shu and Liu Bei to come to the camp to discuss matters, and talk about the matter of breaking Shangyong City." ”
"No!"
The soldier replied, and immediately turned to carry out the order.
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong again and said, "Gongtai, I will find you people, how to persuade Liu Bei depends on your ability." Whether Liu Bei can send troops this time is all on you. ”
Chen Gong bowed his head and said: "Do your best!" ”
Chen Gong didn't say 'he would live up to Lu Bu's high expectations', but 'do his best'.
It can be seen that although Chen Gong has come up with a way, he is not sure whether he can persuade Liu Bei to send troops. Liu Bei is different from Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, Liu Bei is very assertive, and he also knows the art of war, and he knows how to judge the situation, and more importantly, Liu Bei is from a civilian background, and he does not have the arrogant character of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, so if he wants to persuade Liu Bei to send troops, it is not a matter of saying a few words to succeed.
After a short time, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei came to the big tent one after another.
Yuan Shu and Liu Bei sat opposite each other, sitting on the left and right sides of the big tent, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood directly behind Liu Bei.
Lu Bu glanced at Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, and said: "Gongtai has come up with a plan to break the mediocrity, now the public platform will tell the two of you the specific method, you guys think about it carefully and see if it is feasible?" ”
After speaking, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and motioned for Chen Gong to speak.
Chen Gong nodded, and said the method he had come up with again, but after he polished it, it was more detailed and logical than the plan he told Lu Bu.
After Yuan Shu listened, he stroked his palm and said, "If you have a good plan, you will implement it according to this plan." ”
He didn't figure out Chen Gong's plan at all, but he just heard Chen Gong say that his task was to stop Lu Meng and slow down Lu Meng's march. Besides, he didn't need to fight Lu Meng, as long as he completed the task of delaying Lu Meng, he had already achieved the ultimate goal. To kill Lü Meng, you must wait for Lü Meng to return to Shangyong City before killing Lü Meng.
Therefore, Yuan Shu directly agreed.
After Liu Bei heard this, he fell into deep thought.
His soldiers are not abundant, and Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and has been plundered by the Yellow Turban, and has been repeatedly subjected to major battles, the population is sparse, and the people are tired, so Liu Bei attaches great importance to the more than 20,000 soldiers under his command and does not want to send troops easily.
Liu Bei carefully scrutinized it, and Chen Gong's plan still worked.
Liu Bei thought for a while and asked in a deep voice: "Gongtai, we let the soldiers pretend to be Lu Meng's vanguard army, but Lu Meng is not in the army, how can we deceive the guards in the city?" ”
Chen Gong explained: "This matter is very simple, it only needs to be said that Lu Meng is coming with his troops and has not yet arrived in Shangyong City. And the vanguard army we pretended to be rushed to support Shangyong City first, so it was enough to deceive the defenders in the city. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he agreed with Chen Gong's statement.
After a pause, Liu Bei said: "We send soldiers to pretend to enter the city, and a general must be mixed in to ensure safety." I let my second brother Guan Yu mix in with the soldiers, and entered the city with the soldiers first. However, I have one more request, when attacking the city, General Lu Bu must lead his troops to attack the city and block the generals defending the city. ”
Lu Bu didn't think about it, and immediately agreed.
Seeing this, Liu Bei also had a smile on his face.
Chen Gong frowned slightly when he saw Liu Bei letting Guan Yu pretend to be a soldier and blend into the city. Because those who enter the city first must have an advantage, and when the soldiers enter the city, they can take the first step to seize the storehouses of the city, plunder gold and silver, or plunder grain. Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei noticed that Chen Gong was looking at him and smiled.
