Tianzhu Mountain flew to the peak.

There is a boulder at the top of the mountain.

The boulder is right on the edge of the mountain, and it looks like it could fall from the top of the mountain at any moment.

This stone is called the Flying Stone.

It is rumored that Tianzhu Mountain was once a vast sea, and evil spirits were rampant in the sea.

In order to suppress the demons, Taishang Laojun borrowed a strange stone from the East China Sea to suppress the rampant monsters.

Later, when the sea receded and the heavenly pillars became mountains, the stone remained here forever.

Looking at the flying stone, Wei Yan whispered to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you said that if a wind comes one day and blows this stone down, will it be repaid?" ”

"It's been sitting on the top of the hill for an unknown number of years." Chen Gong said: "If it was blown away, it would have fallen a long time ago, where would it be until now?" ”

The two of them were talking, and a group of people came over again.

The man at the front had a beard and a rough look.

Seeing Chen Gong and the others, he nodded to Chen Lan.

Chen Lan said to Chen Gong and Wei Yan: "Two, General Lei is here. ”

Chen Gong and Wei Yan looked at Lei Ji who came over, the two of them clasped their fists, and Chen Gong greeted: "I have heard the name of General Lei for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today." ”

"Gong Chen's name, I am also like thunder." Lei Shu replied: "I thought we would be hostile, but I didn't expect to see you here." ”

"We don't have an old grudge against the general, so why should we become hostile?" Chen Gong asked with a smile.

Being asked by him, Lei Shu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What Gong Chen said is that we have no old grudges, and it seems that there is no need to become hostile. ”

"I went up the mountain this time to reconcile with the general." Chen Gong said: "In addition, I implore the general to go down the mountain with me and do my best for the Han Society." ”

"Let's not talk about that." Lei Shu did not answer Chen Gong's words, but said to him: "I have already asked people to prepare a banquet, and I have invited Chen Gong and General Wei to go to the banquet. ”

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" Chen Gong and Wei Yan arched their hands again.

The banquet was placed on the Flying Stone.

Lei Shu turned his back to the abyss, Chen Gong and Wei Yan accompanied each other on his side, and Chen Lan sat opposite him.

"General Ji has been here before, does Gong Chen know about it?" Lei Shu asked Chen Gong.

"Of course I do." Chen Gong said: "Since Gongzi occupied Huainan and other places, exempting the common people and merchants from paying taxes, all parts of the country have prospered, but there are still some heroes who gather in the mountains and forests from time to time to bring some trouble to the place. Therefore, Gongzi ordered that all localities step up the rectification of banditry in order to restore local tranquility. ”

"So, General Chen and I are also regarded as bandits by Cao Zirong?" Lei Shu asked.

"The general led his troops to gather on Tianzhu Mountain, and often went down the mountain to attack the place, isn't he a bandit?" Chen Gong smiled slightly and asked Lei Shu rhetorically.

Unexpectedly, he would openly admit it, Lei Shu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What Gong Chen said is that if you look at it this way, we are really thieves." ”

"A bandit is not the same as a bandit." Chen Gong said to Lei Shu: "Some thieves just want to rob their homes and rob their houses to fill their pockets, this kind of thief, Gongzi resolutely refuses to leave a little way to live." However, there are still some thieves who are forced by the situation to fall into the grass, and even some people fall into the grass because of righteousness. ”

"What kind of bandits does Gong Chen think General Chen and I are?" Lei Shu leaned over and asked Chen Gong.

"What kind of bandit does the general think he is?" Chen Gong did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

Stunned by his question, Lei Shu said: "I think I and General Chen can be regarded as the latter. ”

"What is the latter?" Chen Gong said: "The two generals are worthy of their names, they are falling into the grass for the sake of righteousness, and Gongzi has already known the details since he broke through Huainan. ”

"So, when Chen Gong came to Tianzhu Mountain, did Cao Zirong mean it?" Lei Shu asked.

"You can say that, you can't say that." Chen Gong said: "I just figured out the intentions of the prince and made a promise to the two generals. ”

"What if Cao Zirong refuses to cash in?" Lei Shu asked.

"The promise I gave, Childe will most likely fulfill." Chen Gong said confidently: "The two of you don't know Gongzi yet, and it is reasonable to be suspicious of him. Childe has always been unsuspicious of employing people, and those of us who work under him are all regarded by him as family members. ”

"I heard that Cao Zirong is very protective." Chen Lan said: "At the beginning, for the sake of a woman, I led soldiers to raid Wu Zilan's home. So much so that he had to leave Xudu. ”

"General Chen was right in the front, but not necessarily in the back." Chen Gong said: "With Gongzi's ability, if he refuses to leave Xu Du, who can do anything to him?" ”

Lei Shu and Chen Lan glanced at each other.

Before they could speak, Wei Yan said: "I was originally under the command of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and I met my son on the battlefield. At that time, there were no fierce generals under Childe, and he could only rely on himself to fight. Even so, Wen Ping and I were defeated by him. ”

"General Wei is also a defector?" Lei Shu was stunned for a moment and asked Wei Yan.

"In addition to Sima Yi, Pang Shiyuan and Zhao Zilong, who else under the command of Gongzi is not Toucheng?" Wei Yan said: "After surrendering, Gongzi never treated us as an outsider. Now even if you are broken, you have to follow your son to make contributions! ”

Lei Shu and Chen Lan glanced at each other again.

Chen Lan asked: "According to the two of us, as long as we are willing to surrender, Zirong Gongzi will definitely not pursue the past." ”

"What is the history of the two generals?" Chen Gong said with a smile: "Yuan Shu went against the sky, and the two generals did not follow, but turned against him, and even harassed Yuan Shu later. The friction with our army was nothing more than General Ji leading his troops to attack Tianzhu Mountain a few days ago, resulting in dozens of soldiers of our army being wounded. Counting the two of them, the credit is not small, and there is almost no fault, why should the son embarrass you? ”

"That's what Gong Chen said." Lei Shu frowned and said, "Although General Chen and I are not at fault, we have no credit to Gongzi......"

"The merit can be established later." Chen Gong said: "As long as the two of them are willing to surrender to the son, it will be fine." ”

"No!" Lei Shu said: "Before you join the son, the credit must be made first. ”

He said to Chen Lan: "General Chen, there are many thieves in Huainan and Lujiang, and we also know some of them. You send someone to find them, and those who are willing to join us in serving Zirong Gongzi can meet at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain. Stubborn, let them not blame me for being ruthless! ”

"The general is going to ......," Chen Lan asked.

"Since Childe has a headache, we will give him a big gift before surrendering." Lei Shu said: "From today on, don't worry about the son, I will kill all the thieves on his behalf!" ”
