Chapter 365: Crooked Strike

After Chen Deng and Chen Qun said goodbye and left, Chen Qun couldn't help but say on the road,

"I feel like there's something wrong."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Chen Deng listened carefully.

"Guo Jia, I have always been deliberately paying attention to him. No matter what the others are, if there is no reason of his own, he will usually never let go of his own business and be at the mercy of others. Just like when he left Yuan Shao, Guo Jia was able to completely ignore the opposition of Xin Bi and others; Before leaving Yanzhou and going south, Guo Jia also ignored Cao Cao and others. Since Guo Jia took the initiative to discuss the alliance with Tao Gong this time, why didn't Guo Jia ignore Princess Hongnong's opinion? Therefore, I feel that Guo Jia may have some purpose of his own, which coincides with Princess Hongnong's behavior, and even Princess Hongnong is just an excuse for Guo Jia! Guo Jia, as the life-saving benefactor of Princess Hongnong, asked the princess to do such a small favor and pretended to stay to burn incense and worship the Buddha, which was completely possible! Chen Qun analyzed them one by one.

Although he is not familiar with Guo Jia at all, Chen Qun sees Guo Jia clearly. Sure enough, is the enemy the one who knows his existence best? Of course, there is still a slight difference in this, that is, the relationship between Guo Jia and Princess Hongnong, where is the benefactor and the rescued.

Chen Deng nodded,

"I actually have a similar feeling, but I really can't understand what Guo Jia's purpose is for doing this? Did he just think it was fun to tease us like this, and deliberately let the lord wait in Xiaopei to take the opportunity to increase his value? This kind of thing doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it. And Guo Jia himself said it, he shouldn't really have such a superficial idea! Chen Deng said with a little doubt. Although the situation is suspicious, I really can't find Guo Jia's motive.

"Of course it can't be so superficial." Chen Qun said with a little seriousness. "You must know that Guo Jia has been playing very thrilling tricks since he came out. We have always subconsciously thought that Guo Jia is now in Xuzhou, so he doesn't dare to mess around. But what if he just dares to mess around, and is already messing around? Guo Jia deliberately lured Tao Gong to Xiaopei, maybe he was cooperating with Cao Cao's upcoming military operation?! ”

Chen Deng's eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't agree with Chen Qun's statement,

"Although Xiaopei is close to the border, Xiaopei is an important border town. It has always been heavily guarded. If Cao Cao really wanted to take the opportunity to attack Xiao Pei, having the lord in person would be more conducive to resisting the invasion. And even if he fails, the lord will be able to escape from Xiao Pei. This is no different from normal war, Guo Jia's actions are really ineffective! Chen Deng questioned.

As a result, Chen Qun's next words made Chen Deng really serious. I just heard Chen Qun say,

"Yuanlong, don't forget, attracting Xiaopei also means luring Tao Gong away from Xiapi!"

Although Chen Qun did not point out the words. But in fact, it has already been hinted at very obviously. That is, it is very likely that someone in Xiapi has secretly communicated with Cao Cao, taking advantage of Tao Qian's departure from Xiapi this time, he directly rebelled and occupied Xiapi. Then Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack outside. In other words, when Cao Cao attacked outside first, so that Tao Qian had no time to take care of him, he gave people the opportunity to rebel in Xiapi. And so it goes. Under the internal and external troubles, Tao Qian estimated that he could only flee to the north to join Gongsun Zhan!

So. The key to the matter now is whether such a person really exists in Xiapi. After Tao Qian left, it was possible, and he had the ability to occupy the entire Xiapi in one fell swoop!

Melt! Harmony with each other!

Chen Deng subconsciously thought of this person, first of all, after Tao Qian left, as the head of the lower Pi Xiang, Di Rong is obviously the person with the greatest power in Xia Pi, and because Di Rong has vigorously developed Buddhism and repaired temples with the support of Tao Qian in recent years, its fame, its believers, and its supporters are even thousands. If Zhen Rong wants to take the opportunity to occupy Xiapi, it is definitely very easy.

Therefore, Zhenrong is the one who is most capable of doing this! So what about the possibilities? Is it possible for Zhen Rong to betray Tao Qian? It seems unlikely, Zhenrong is Tao Qian's countryman, and secondly, he has been supported by Tao Qian all these years, so it is reasonable that Zhenrong should not betray Tao Qian.

But Chen Deng has always felt that Zhenrong is a very hypocritical, realistic, snobbish, and brutal person, except that he never cares about what others say about him, he doesn't look like a so-called Buddhist believer at all. For a long time, some people suspected that Zhenrong was taking the opportunity of repairing the temple to fill Xuzhou's money and grain.

Well, this guy seems to have understood Guo Jia's thoughts when he became commonplace: those who engage in real estate development are fat!

In short, Chen Deng felt that the person Zhenrong was very unreal and very unreliable.

Chen Deng definitely did not misunderstand Zhenrong, look at Zhenrong's later behavior in history: when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Zhenrong did not resist, and directly led his soldiers and subordinate men and women, totaling more than 10,000 people, to Guangling County. Zhao Yu, the magistrate of Guangling County, treated Zhenrong as a guest of honor, and set up a grand banquet to entertain Zhenrong and his soldiers and subordinates. So, in a wine banquet, when he was toasting, he killed Zhao Yu, and ordered his soldiers to kill, burn and plunder Guangling County, and take his soldiers and subordinates and plunder the property of Guangling County to the south of Moling and take refuge in Xue Li.

Xue Li, like Zhao Yu, set up a banquet to entertain Xue Rong, but Zhu Rong also killed Xue Li, swallowed Xue Li's subordinates, and took refuge in Liu Xuan, the newly appointed assassin of Yangzhou by the imperial court. Later, Liu Rong sent Zhu Rong to assist Zhu Hao against Liu Biao, but Zhu Rong killed Zhu Hao in the same way and became the magistrate of Yuzhang himself......

Look, look, this kind of thing can't be done by normal people, let alone a true believer in Buddhism. Moreover, there is only one means to go back and forth, I really don't know what those people who set up a banquet to entertain Zhenrong and were killed later thought. Could it be that these people are the real followers of Buddhism, and they were fooled by Zhenrong, a promoter of Buddhism, and directly lost their vigilance?

Anyway, Chen Qun's guess directly touched Chen Deng's heart, and Chen Deng immediately felt that this matter was really possible! Guo Jia may be playing a trick again! Shuangfei Guo Jia is really terrible, fortunately, Chen Qun is cautious after all, and he knows Guo Jia better, otherwise, Xuzhou may really fall this time!

Moreover, Guo Jia came out of Jiangdu on this trip, and after entering Xuzhou, he almost always eats, drinks, lives and travels in temples, and these temples are all built by Zhenrong.

This matter, the more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes, Chen Deng has almost decided that this kind of thing is inseparable! No way! This matter must be notified to the lord immediately, let him sneak back to Xiapi, if it's okay, of course, it's the best, if something really happens, then you can be caught off guard!
