A few days later, Zhang Liao arrived in Pei County, Chen Gong met him in the Temporary General's Mansion, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, and he thought it would be a reminiscence and emotion when he met again, but Chen Gong looked older and had grayer hair, everything was the same as before, and he was still so resolute, and he didn't even plan to get to the point without being polite.

Zhang Liao, who was sitting at the bottom of his hand, looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, in fact, since he surrendered to Liu Lan, there is Gao Shun who would rather die than surrender and be detained, and there are also people like him, but compared to Chen Gong, his situation is much more ambiguous, although the specific situation is not clear, but from the time he was idle before to now being activated, there must have been some situations here, so he will be a little complicated, first of all, the situation like Chen Gong is indeed a little different from him, after all, he still has some friendship with Liu Lan, There is not so much psychological pressure to change the court, but Chen Gong is different, and this also causes his previous reuse of Liu Lan to be extremely complicated, and he wants to be reused, and he wants to prove himself, but he feels that he will be sorry for Lu Bu if he does so.

Maybe it is precisely because of this situation that Chen Gong has not been able to be reused by Liu Lan, or that he wants to spend his old age like this, but everything has changed, although I don't know the specific reason, but I can't make Liu Lan the commander of the Peixian army, let alone him, I'm afraid that even Gao Shun can't resist such a temptation.

People like him, it is the luckiest to be able to follow a master in his life, if they are still extraordinarily trusted, then they will naturally pay hundreds of times more effort to repay, the reason why they failed in Yanzhou is actually caused by Lu Bu, if Lu Bu can trust Chen Gong more, or he simply reuses Gao Shun directly, then these two people will not have internal friction, and they will not lose so quickly, or Lu Bu will reuse the two at the same time, instead of using the two to contain each other, then the result will be better than now, but Lu Bu does not, Therefore, it highlights Liu Lan's preciousness even more.

Let's take a look at what Liu Lan has done in the past half a month, he transferred Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and transferred back to Zhao Yun, such a transfer makes the owner of Chen Palace in Pei County have absolute command, no one can shake his orders, he is the highest governor of Pei County, and has the highest rights, but when he was in Yanzhou, Gao Shun and Chen Gong had different understandings of the war, and their political opinions were different. This will only make the fight between the two more intense.

But now in Pei County, Chen Gong does not have these constraints, all the troubles or people who may become troubles have been transferred away by Liu Lan, if Chen Gong has not been able to achieve results in such a situation, then I am afraid that Chen Gong will not have such an opportunity in the future, but for now, Chen Gong has an opportunity that people like him have dreamed of all their lives.

Even if it doesn't work, it's not in vain.

After a long time, Chen Gong suddenly turned his head to Zhang Liao, looked at him with a serious face, and said, "Wen Yuan, is your Heaven Breaking Ge still sharp, can you still go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then stepped out and handed over: "Breaking the sky has never become dull for a day, and Zhang Wenyuan does not dare to slack off in the slightest!" ”

When Chen Gong heard his words, his face began to soften, and he said with a smile: "Since you Zhang Liao is still that Zhang Liao, and I am Chen Gong, I am still the same Chen Gong, but I finally waited for an opportunity like today, but Wen Yuan, you, although you lead the troops in one word, but if you really want to talk about it, not to mention being able to keep up with Guan Zhang Zhao, even if it is Zhang Jaw Tai Shi Ci and Lu Su, you are not as good as you, where is your opportunity?" How do you show your talents? Maybe it will take you three or five years or even more than ten years to prove yourself like Liu Lan, or even prove yourself like the world, but this time is too long, do you dare to think about things so far away? So today is your best chance, I like the lord ordered your general, by you to Pei County to assist me, if you and I can achieve some merits, no matter how big or small, as long as we can reverse the current unfavorable situation, then Liu Lan will be impressed with us, and we will also prove ourselves thoroughly because of this battle, after this battle, even if your Zhang Wenyuan's status will still be below Guan Zhang Zhao, but it can be compared with Zhang Jaw Tai Shi Ci! “

Chen Gong's words are more like painting cakes, but they also said some things, they are more generals, even if he had some friendship with Guan Yu and Liu Lan before, but that's all, just like the Battle of Jiujiang, his existence is simply to play soy sauce, to put it nicely, he is to attack Xun County with Zhang Jaw, but whether he was controlled by Zhang Jaw before or later by Guan Yu, he is more like a partial general in the army, which is far from his status under Lu Bu's account.

But compared to an individual, he should be more obedient to the whole team and the campaign, so he will not have any complaints, and it was also the first time he fought for Liu Lan at that time, it is not surprising that people are conservative, but in a big battle like Xuzhou, he is also playing soy sauce, and even stationed in the rear, such a status can be seen, although because Lu Bu is in Yanzhou, Liu Lan is not very likely to use them to Pei County, for fear of recurrence, but if he does not go to Pei County, then he should also go to Langya, but there is no such opportunity.

His first achievement is far away, but because of Chen Gong, he came to Pei County, just like Chen Gong said, this is his best opportunity to show in a short period of time, after all, he is different from Chen Gong, Chen Gong is a civilian, there are many opportunities, as long as he can make a good plan at a critical moment, but he has to wait for the opportunity to lead the army alone like Zhang Jaw Tai Shi Ci, it is almost impossible in a short time.

If Chen Gong asked him if he was sharp, it was more like mocking him for being useless as a hero in the past six months, then the latter words undoubtedly aroused his fighting spirit.

To be honest, in Xuzhou, few people can have private soldiers, Tai Shi Ci is an exception, but in fact, the original Danyang army commanded by Tai Shi Ci is more loyal to Liu Xiang, so these troops cannot be called Tai Shi Ci's private soldiers, especially with Liu Xiang returning to Moling from Yuzhang, this army is more like it was incorporated by Tai Shi Ci, and Liu Lan used Tai Shi Ci as a general, also to stabilize the morale of the army.

The other person is Zang Ba, his situation is more like a kind of cooperation with Liu Lan, Liu Lan used him to guard Qingzhou and defend against Yuan Shao, and with Liu Lan's strategic abandonment of Qingzhou, Zang Ba's private army will definitely not continue to exist.

And his situation, in fact, is more like Zang Ba, or in Liu Lan's eyes, it is more headache than Zang Ba, although the situation of private soldiers began with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when the Son of Heaven for the sake of the regional Yellow Turban Army, allowed local government families to prevent armed resistance, since then it is difficult to get rid of it, but this phenomenon has been effectively curbed under Liu Lan's rule, whether it is a family or a general in the army, there is no existence of private soldiers.

And his troops, in Liu Lan's view, can be said to be private soldiers, but they can also be said to be an unstable factor, who they are loyal to, it is not clear, whether it is forced by form, it is not clear, once the war with Cao Cao starts, will there be a large-scale defection and flee to Lu Bu?

These can be said to be the factors that Zhang Liao was idle, Liu Lan could not use him in such a critical battle, once there was any bitter fruit, it would be a great blow to him, and if it happened in an unfavorable situation, it would have an impact on the battle situation.

But because of the reuse of Chen Gong, Liu Lan took the initiative to mention Zhang Liao when discussing with him, as for Chen Gong saying that he recommended Zhang Liao, it was more like a performance of inviting merit to make Zhang Liao grateful, this is the way of the emperor, which is understandable, but it can be seen that Liu Lan is extremely trusting of Chen Gong, because he knows that Chen Gong will not be able to return to Yanzhou.

In history, when Lu Bu died, he could choose to die with Lu Bu, not because of how loyal he was to Lu Bu, but because of Cao Cao's factors, he would rather die than surrender to him, so he was relieved to use him, as for the situation on Zhang Liao's side, Liu Lan didn't think so much about some unfavorable factors in order to be able to make Chen Gong get twice the result with half the effort.

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then stepped out and handed over: "Breaking the sky has never become dull for a day, and Zhang Wenyuan does not dare to slack off in the slightest!" ”

When Chen Gong heard his words, his face began to soften, and he said with a smile: "Since you Zhang Liao is still that Zhang Liao, and I am Chen Gong, I am still the same Chen Gong, but I finally waited for an opportunity like today, but Wen Yuan, you, although you lead the troops in one word, but if you really want to talk about it, not to mention being able to keep up with Guan Zhang Zhao, even if it is Zhang Jaw Tai Shi Ci and Lu Su, you are not as good as you, where is your opportunity?"
