Chapter 844: Uncle and Nephew
"Stomp, stomp!"
The sound of neat footsteps came from far and near, and Chen Gong raised his eyes to see flags covering the sky and dust covering the sun in the distance.
Far away, Chen Gong could see a big flag with the word 'Chen', fluttering in the air in the wind.
The man at the front, riding a black horse, dressed in black clothes and black armor, holding a spear, a sword hanging from his waist, and a look of non-anger and self-righteousness.
"My lord."
When Chen Gong saw the person on the horse, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and hurriedly led the crowd to greet him and salute Chen Xu.
Chen Xu was riding on a war horse, and he had already seen Chen Gong in front of him, as well as the people and horses who came out to greet him behind Chen Gong, and he couldn't help but have a warm current in his heart, and hurriedly stopped the army.
For so many years, almost all of the other top strategists in Guanzhong have been famous in China, but only Chen Gong is unknown and has been staying in Bingzhou without regrets.
Whenever he thought of this, Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Seeing Chen Gong walking towards him and saluting solemnly to himself, Chen Xu hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and walked towards Chen Gong.
He stepped forward to hold Chen Gong's arm, then took a step back and respectfully saluted Chen Gong.
Seeing this, Chen Gong also showed a smile in his eyes, and stepped forward and said, "The lord is now the Duke of Qin, and he is the most powerful prince in the world, how can he salute me?" ”
Chen Xu straightened up and said, "Speaking from the public, my uncle is the pillar of Guanzhong, and he can afford my gift after guarding the state for so many years." ”
"Privately, I am the son of my uncle's clan, and in the face of my uncle, I should be the courtesy of my juniors."
Seeing that Chen Xu's expression didn't seem to be fake, Chen Gong couldn't help but laugh.
He stepped forward and patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and said, "Wen Zhao has come from a long journey, so let's go to the city to rest first." ”
Hearing Chen Gong call himself like this, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile on his face.
In the past, Chen Gong called Chen Xu 'lord' in front of outsiders, but when he heard Chen Gong shouting his words today, Chen Xu felt very cordial.
Entering the Jinyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Chen Xu did not go to rest, but left Chen Gong behind.
After looking at Chen Gong carefully for a while, looking at the white hair between his temples and the wrinkles on his forehead, thinking that the older generals and strategists in Guanzhong were already getting old, Chen Xu suddenly felt a little sad.
"Uncle."
Thinking of the bitterness, Chen Xu couldn't help but call out emotionally, Chen Gong first paused for a moment, and then looked at Chen Xu with a smile on his face.
Feeling the inquiring look in Chen Gong's eyes, Chen Xu took a deep breath.
He asked a little confused: "I am forty years old this year, and many strategists and generals in Guanzhong are no longer young. ”
"But today, there are still the other three princes, each of whom is strong, and my nephew has been thinking about whether he can clear the four seas in his lifetime, include Kyushu, and end this troubled era with his own hands."
In front of Chen Gong, Chen Xu didn't hide anything, and continued: "I admit that I have ambitions, I want to establish meritorious deeds, and I want to be admired by thousands of people. ”
"But I also want to end the war as soon as possible, so that the people of the Han Dynasty can die less, so that our children and grandchildren will not continue to live in the troubled times."
"However, for decades, I have worked hard and dare not relax almost every day, and I have been fighting in all directions all year round, and even because I have killed too many people, I am a little cold-blooded."
"For the sake of victory, I even slaughtered the city, killed unarmed children and women, slaughtered all the captives who had no ability to resist, and then used their heads to build a Jingguan."
"Those famous men who are loyal to the Han family and have iron bones, I don't know how many I have killed for my own rights; Sometimes, in order to win a war, I even use my own robes as bait. ”
"My hands are covered in blood, and I don't even distinguish between good and evil, right or wrong, just to make others afraid of me, just to let people I know die less."
"But to this day, too many people have died, and I still haven't been able to destroy the rest of the princes."
Chen Xu was a little emotional, and said with some pain: "For more than twenty years, there are still three powerful princes in the world, and the alien races are even eyeing the border. ”
"How many twenty years are there in my life? Maybe I simply can't live to the next twenty years. ”
"I often ask myself, is it worth my efforts and what I do?"
No one could have imagined that Chen Wenzhao, a generation of heroes, would have such a weak side, just like a child complaining in front of his elders.
Chen Gong didn't speak, just listened quietly, and only after Chen Xu calmed down did he personally pour a glass of water for Chen Xu.
"Let's drink some water first."
Handing the water to Chen Xu, Chen Gong's face was full of a kind smile.
"Thank you, uncle."
Chen Xu also felt that he was a little excited, and took a sip of the water cup gently, feeling a little hot, so he blew a few breaths on the water in the cup.
Chen Gong came to a futon, lifted his hem and knelt on it, his eyes were a little confused.
When I met Chen Xu for the first time, it was Chen Gong who passed by Chenjia Village in Puyang because of something, so he glanced at Chen Xu.
It's just that Chen Xu at that time was just a child, and he didn't see anything different, and Chen Gong didn't pay too much attention to it.
Later, I noticed that Chen Xu was also because Chen Xu was bold and reckless, and he actually killed many people on the street in Puyang City, and killed Zhang Qi's family.
It must be known that Zhang Qi is a relative of Zhang Gong.
At the beginning, the power of the Ten Standing Servants leaned towards the government and the opposition, even the scholars did not dare to compete with them, Chen Xu, a nameless boy, dared to act so boldly.
At that time, Chen Gong, while marveling at Chen Xu's boldness, was also a little worried about his safety, after all, the two belonged to the same lineage.
But after such a long time, the two veins are still too distant after all, and Chen Gong does not have much power, so he can't give Chen Xu any help.
At that time, Chen Gong actually shook his head and sighed behind his back, thinking that Chen Xu was too young and vigorous, and it would be difficult to achieve great things after all.
However, the world is unpredictable, Chen Xu not only escaped Zhang Gong's revenge, but also was valued by Qiao Xuan and taught him the art of war.
It can be said that although Chen Xu is not a disciple of Qiao Xuan, he is undoubtedly a disciple of Qiao Xuan.
Who is Qiao Xuan?
This is a famous man who moves the world, can be literate and martial, upright, and has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, even if the ten permanent servants are powerful, but because of Qiao Xuan, he does not dare to move his clan Qiao Mao.
If he can be born forty years later, I am afraid that he will definitely become a shining person in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty.
When Chen Gong first heard the news, he thought it was incredible, he didn't think that Chen Xu would be able to get Qiao Xuan's weight.
It must be known that Qiao Xuan's reputation is not even under the side of Chen Gong's teacher, how can such a character value a puppet?
But later, Chen Xu's talent in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion made Chen Gong impressed.
At that time, Chen Gong was still only a white body, and Chen Xu's political status even surpassed himself, and Chen Gong also began to pay attention to Chen Xu.
Even, he even dialed Chen Xu at the beginning, so that Chen Xu avoided some disasters.
But the world is impermanent, and Chen Xu, the hero who repelled the Yellow Turban, still can't escape the fate of being framed by the minions of the Ten Standing Servants after all.
Even Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao was framed and imprisoned because of Qiao Xuan's death.
Just when Chen Gong thought that Chen Xu would die in Huangquan, Chen Xu was rescued, and then angrily defected to the Yellow Turban, fighting thousands of miles from south to north.
Even after Zhang Jiao and the others died, he still led the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to fight in the south and the north, and fought a bloody way.
What shocked Chen Gong the most was that Chen Xu was finally able to defeat the famous Han general Huangfu Song with inferior forces and kill him.
When Chen Gong got the news, he knew that if Chen Xu didn't die, he would definitely be able to make a career in this troubled world.
It wasn't until Chen Xu broke Xianbei in the north, and accepted the imperial court's recruitment and occupied the land of annexing the state, that Chen Gong, who was called by Chen Xu, immediately rushed over without hesitation and joined Chen Xu's command.
Chen Gong's scheme also increased the population of the withered annexed state to nearly two million people, and there were many excellent soldiers.
It can be said that without Chen Gong's strategy, even if Chen Xu occupies the state, it will be difficult to develop because the population is too small.
Since Chen Xu obtained Guanzhong and transferred the political center, Chen Gong has been serving as the pastor of the state, and has been conscientious for more than ten years, making the state more and more prosperous.
It is precisely because of the presence of Chen Gong stationed in Bingzhou that Chen Xu can concentrate on expansion without worrying about losing in the rear.
Time passed, and although the uncle and nephew often exchanged letters, they met less and less, and the last time they met was three years ago.
At this moment, when the uncle and nephew met, Chen Xu did not suppress his feelings in front of Chen Gong and expressed his heart, but Chen Gong felt a lot of emotion.
Seeing that Chen Xu finally drank the water in the cup, Chen Gong stroked his hair, looking at the silver hair mixed in between, he was also embarrassed.
"yes, time flies so fast, and before I know it, my hair is a little gray."
After sighing, Chen Gong set his eyes on Chen Xu and said, "I still remember that you led the righteous army to resist the Yellow Turban Army in Puyang. ”
"At that time, although you had already shown your edge, you were still a little immature."
"But who knows that the Chen family, who only had a reputation in ten miles and eight towns in the past, and couldn't even eat enough, would have today's achievements?"
"Twenty years, you have been a white body, and you have laid a great foundation in the southern and northern wars, and have become the first prince in the world, and your reputation has spread all over the world."
"You're only in your early forties now, how can you not have the next twenty?"
"The rest of the princes, except for Sun Bofu, everyone is much older than you, even if these people are old, you can still continue to fight the world for more than ten years."
"In this way, Wen Zhao still has the confidence to unify the world and end this troubled world?"
Hearing this, Chen Xu was shocked, and then he suddenly woke up.
Chen Gong still said: "What's more, even if you fail to unify the world, isn't there still Azheng, everything you do is still valuable after all." ”
"No matter what you become in the process of transformation, as long as you can not forget your original intention, it is already enough."
Chen Xu took a deep breath, bowed down and bowed to Chen Gong, and then said, "Thank you uncle for your enlightenment, Xu has a lot of hatred in his thoughts." ”
Chen Gong smiled, smiling happily.
Although Chen Xu is not his son, Chen Gong has always been proud of Chen Xu, and he often thinks that maybe Chen Xu's achievements can surpass his ancestor Chen Ping.
In fact, Chen Xu's achievements today have surpassed Chen Ping a lot.
