【Chapter 569】 Chen Gongtai pondered in the middle of the night

(Thanks: Book friend An Qi'er commented on the reward support, happy Dragon Boat Festival!) )

——————

Starry night, no moon.

Twenty miles outside the city of Dong'e, the lights are in camp.

The gate of more than three zhang stands majestically, and the figures inside and outside the gate flash, and the guard is strict.

Extending two hundred steps inward is the big tent of the Chinese army, and at this time, several people in brocade robes and wide robes came out of it, and went away in pairs and whispers.

"Bongxian, don't act hastily. Such a good shape shì but give up plainly, miss today, and I am afraid that I will regret it in the future! ”

As soon as the deliberations of the Chinese army's big tent were completed, seeing Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Xu Yan, Wang Kai and others leave one after another, the military advisor Chen Gong advised Lu Bu with a face full of indignation. However, the helplessness revealed in his words already showed that Lu Bu had made up his mind and could not change it back, while Chen Gong's admonition at this time was more like an indignant complaint, which was useless.

That's exactly what happened.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind on this matter and cannot change it."

On the main seat, Lu Bu, who was wearing a wide brocade robe, was still the same as two years ago, with starry eyebrows and starry eyes, as handsome as before. The brocade robe is embroidered with a phoenix pattern, majestic, and the brilliance is compelling, and the only difference is the majestic mustache, which makes the tall and handsome Lu Bu a little more resolute and mature, and looks more attractive than before, which is enough to fascinate the cardamom girl and stare in a daze.

After Yakou vetoed Chen Gong's advice, looking at him with a disappointed look on his face, Lu Buton felt unbearable, and explained after relieving his breath: "You also saw it just now, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others unanimously agreed to strike the army and make peace and make a temporary truce. In addition, Yuan Benchu sent two letters in a row, which were powerful and sincere. Knowing the righteousness, promising us many other benefits.

For Yuan Benchu, I, Lu Bu, can still be trusted. Last year, we joined forces with him to exterminate the Montenegrin thieves, and many of the collected funds were sent to us, thus solving the food and grass crisis of our army, so that our army could safely pass the most difficult period since temporarily living in Yanzhou, and finally gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou.

What's more, Cao Cao has already bowed his head to me and surrendered, and his handwritten letter is here, stating that Yanzhou belongs to me, and they are only temporarily borrowing three small cities to live temporarily. When the alliance is over, it will be evacuated from Yanzhou immediately. Cao Mengde is also the deputy leader of the former alliance of princes, and he is famous, but now the black characters of brocade silk are here, how can he deny it in the future!

At present, Yanzhou is our territory, and Cao has an army of more than 100,000 people. But people are sleepy and horses are scarce, and food and grass are scarce. At best, it's just a lingering breath. If you can't turn up the big waves, you can't help us at all. Now Yuan Benchu interceded for Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others were also willing to temporarily truce, and Cao Cao sent a letter of surrender, which is so beneficial to us, how can I refuse lightly. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the public station. We are now in the palm of our hand, Yanzhou is in hand, the soldiers are strong, and the strength is far better than in the past! ”

As he spoke, the more Lu Bu spoke, the more excited he became. He is very satisfied with his current appearance, and his speech and demeanor are full of energy, and his face is full of self-absorption.

"How can Cao Mengde's words be credulous?" Seeing Lu Bu's face full of excitement, Chen Gong couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and couldn't help but pour cold water to let Lu Bu sober up, not to be carried away by the momentary victory.

But seeing Chen Gong's expression, he sneered with great disdain: "Cao Mengde is extremely treacherous, he has no faith, and maybe other princes will not do it, but I am sure that Cao Mengde will definitely be able to do treacherous things, because he is a capricious traitor!"

In my early years, I helped him enter Yanzhou, and said all the good things for him in front of Liu Dai, so that he could gain a foothold in Dongjun and grow day by day. After Liu Dai's death, Cao Thief supported the army and stood on his own, revealing his true colors, moody, and unable to listen to the slightest contrary words, but because Yanzhou celebrities privately talked about him as eunuchs, he ruthlessly killed Yanzhou celebrities and slaughtered Yanzhou celebrities. A repeated villain like Cao Cao, how can Feng Xian be credulous? ”

After belittleing Cao Cao, Chen Gong said earnestly: "This time, we joined forces with Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao brothers and others to take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao's lair, and now they have occupied most of Yanzhou, and the army is like a splitting bamboo, and Cao Cao is defeated and retreated. Now Cao Cao retreated to three small cities to shelter temporarily, food and grass were extremely scarce, even if there were hundreds of thousands of troops in vain, they could be destroyed if they turned their palms. On the occasion of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we should completely eliminate Cao Cao and annex the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command in one go, and we must not leave him a chance to breathe.

Prior to this, the reason why we were able to defeat Cao Cao this time was because we waited for a surprise attack on the Prefecture Governor's Mansion in one fell swoop, and Cao Cao was in a hurry and tired of parrying. In addition, Cao Cao's army had fought fiercely with Tao Qian in Xuzhou for more than two months, and the men were sleepy and lacking, and the troops had been defeated, so they were not defeated by our rapid offensive. As a result, Cao Cao was defeated again and again, lost the city and lost the land, and fell to this point.

Now is the most vulnerable time for the Cao army, the morale is low, the food and grass are scarce, isolated and helpless, and the battle of the trapped beasts is the perfect time for us to exterminate the Cao army in one fell swoop. Once the opportunity is missed, let Cao Thief relieve himself, with his cunning and wise temperament, as well as a group of strategists and generals under his command, and more than 100,000 troops in hand, and then he will definitely counterattack. I dare to assert that today we missed the opportunity to destroy Cao Cao, and one day Yanzhou will be retaken by Cao Cao, and we will also be destroyed by Cao Cao, and there will be no place to bury us when we die! ”

"This 、、、" Lu Bu frowned and groaned, thoughtfully, then looked at Chen Gong suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that there is a sister named Chen Yu in the public platform, who is now the wife of Li Li's thief, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Gong was shocked when he heard this, his cheeks were slightly red, his expression was quite flustered, and his eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look at Lu Bu.

"How did Feng Xian know about this, could it be that Cao Thief said in the letter?" Forcibly pressing his mind, Chen Gong asked in a low voice.

Lu Bu nodded with a very displeased face and said, "Not bad." I didn't know about this before, but Cao Cao wrote a letter to tell the truth, otherwise I would still be in the dark! ”

"It seems that Feng Xian suspects that my Chen Gong is secretly colluding with Li Li, and he no longer trusts me." Chen Gong shook his head helplessly with a disappointed face, and said in amazement: "Since we left Chang'an, we have been sending people under the fence and drifting, and now we have finally laid a foothold, but Feng Xian listened to Cao Thief's words and doubted my Chen Gong's loyalty. That being said, I have nothing to explain. Please also let me go for the sake of the hardships you and I have shared for more than two years. Be good for yourself, be good at cherishing yourself, and say goodbye! ”

After speaking. Chen Gong immediately got up and bowed, straightened his clothes, turned around and walked out of the tent.

"Sir, stay!" Lu Bu hurriedly got up, caught up with Chen Gong with an arrow step, stretched out his hand to grab him, and said urgently with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Why does Mr. bear to abandon me?" I have sent people to investigate the matter of Ling Mei, and now I have found out the reason, and it has nothing to do with Mr. In order to rescue Cao Cao, Mr. abandoned his family and left Zhongmu County, leaving behind a lonely old mother, wife, children and young sister. There was no news for several years.

In the spring of three years ago, Li Li followed his uncle Li Dao to fight against Zhu Jun's righteous army, and when he passed through Zhongmu, he heard that Ling Mei was beautiful and beautiful, so he forcibly took the family members of Gongtai into captivity, so Ling Mei had to commit herself to Li Thief. At the time of the incident, Gongtai was still temporarily sheltering in Yanzhou, and when Ling Mei married Li Li's thief. The public station is also not in Chang'an, so this matter has nothing to do with the public station. If the gentleman leaves now, he is angry. Tell me how to bear it in my heart!

Hearing this, Chen Gong raised his head and stared at Lu Bu. His expression was as calm as water, silent, noncommittal.

Seeing this, Lu Bu said with emotion: "For more than two years, it has been all thanks to Mr. to run around, so that I can temporarily live in Yanzhou. Don't wander around, look at people's faces everywhere and act. This time to capture Yanzhou, it was again thanks to the mediation of Mr. Zhang Miao and others to jointly send troops with me. Defeat Cao Cao and take the territory of Yanzhou. If it weren't for Mr. Counsel and Dedication, I Lu Bu wouldn't have been able to get to where I am today. Therefore, I implore my husband to stay and help me, so that the matter of my sister will be stopped, and I will not mention it again in the future. I wonder what Mr. thinks? ”

"Alas!" Chen Gong was moved when he heard this, and sighed: "Feng Xian, in the past, I abandoned Cao Cao because Cao was a thief who was cruel and unkind, and his heart was cunning and changeable. Then Feng Xian and I became acquainted in the midst of danger, but we were like-minded and became confidants in life. Even if Fengxian is in prison, my Chen Gong will never abandon and swear to follow him. I do have a little sister who was kidnapped by Li Li, and two years ago she was taken by Li Li as his wife, so I am indignant, how can my little sister be committed to Li Li, so what can I do? Because of this, Li Li and I are incompatible, and I am willing to go into exile and send people under the fence, rather than serve under Li Li. For so long, the reason why I have never mentioned this matter is not because I deliberately concealed it, but because I had no shame to mention it, lest I be suspicious. Unexpectedly, today I was framed by Cao Thief for this, the facts are there, I can't argue! ”

Lu Bu nodded slightly, the only trace of doubt in his eyes disappeared with Chen Gong's detailed explanation, and his expression became cheerful.

Immediately, he said with a smile: "It's good to talk about this matter, I really misunderstood Mr." Please forgive me, sir, and do not abandon me. Hehehe! ”

"Thanks to Feng Xian's weight, Chen Gongyan dares not to serve his life!" Chen Gong bowed and bowed.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, pulled Chen Gong back to the tent and sat down, sat next to Chen Gong, and said: "The reason why I agreed to strike the army and truce this time is not only for the handwritten letter sent by Cao Cao and the persuasion letter sent by Yuan Shao several times, but because I also intend to participate in this Central Plains Alliance.

The public station knows that I am inseparable from Li Li's thief, and the pain of the severed finger of the battle of Bahe has not yet been avenged. What's more, Li Li's thieves humiliated me several times, forcing me to agree to the alliance under the city, and gave him the general Zhang Liao, the strong general Cao Xing, and the 800 trapping camp. Li Thief really deceived me too much, if I don't take revenge, what face will I have to stand in the world? ”

When it came to the Battle of Bahe and the matter under Wuguan City in the past, Lu Bu's face was full of hideousness, resentment, and anger soared.

Finally calming down, Lu Bu continued: "Therefore, participating in the Central Plains Alliance this time is the top priority in front of us, and this kind of unavoidable good thing is a real opportunity that cannot be missed.

Others don't know how powerful the Xiliang Army is, but the wolf cavalry under my command has confronted Li Li's cavalry once. The battle of Bahe is still fresh in my memory, Jin Yiwei's courage and good fighting are not far behind my wolf cavalry, and the strength of Li Li's generals is unforgettable for my life. After more than two years, Li Li's thieves have become stronger and stronger, with 400,000 troops and as many as seven cavalry battalions under his command, each cavalry is 20,000 or 30,000 horses. ”

When he said this, Lu Bujunlang's cheeks showed a rare hint of shame, and he said in a low voice: "In terms of strength alone, our army is currently unable to confront the Xiliang Army head-on. Even if I personally led the wolf cavalry to attack, it would be difficult to defeat Jin Qiwei, a pro-military camp under Li Li. Therefore, if you want to avenge the severed fingers of the Bahe River, you must use the soldiers and horses of the princes of the Central Plains to unite against Li Li and his Xiliang army. Otherwise, even if we take Yanzhou now, we will definitely make a wedding dress for Li Li in the future, and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of Li Li's thieves.

Therefore, at this critical moment, I still need the help of Gongtai, concentrate all my forces to form an alliance with the princes of the Central Plains, and then defeat Li Li in one fell swoop with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai. The thief was like a thorn in my throat, making it difficult for me to sleep, and at the mention of the name of the thief, I couldn't sleep at night. Only by forming an alliance with the princes and joining forces to attack and completely defeat Li Li can I be ashamed, and I, Lu Bu, can straighten my waist and be a man! ”

"That's fine、、、 fine." Chen Gong's expression changed slightly, and after a little hesitation, he nodded lightly and said, "Since Feng Xian's mind has been decided, I will definitely do my best to help Feng Xian take revenge." However, I also want to remind Feng Xian that in troubled times, you must not act rashly, everything must be based on the overall situation, consider it holistically, and do not act willfully because of anger. Otherwise, it will not only be detrimental to itself, but will also affect the officers and men of the whole army, and in the end they will gain nothing, misleading others and themselves. ”

After a pause in his tone, Chen Gong hesitated, and then stopped: "Dongjun Cao Cao must not be taken lightly, even if he has been forced to the brink of exhaustion by us now, once he is relieved, the consequences will be unimaginable." Therefore, now is a good opportunity to never suffer in the future、、、 hey, since Feng Xian doesn't want to hear it, it's okay not to say it. ”

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Gong still couldn't help but want to persuade Lu Bu again and take advantage of the situation to destroy Cao Cao. It's a pity that he noticed that Lu Bu's face was gloomy when he spoke, so he immediately sighed lightly and said no more.

"It's late at night, let's rest first, I'll retire first." Seeing this situation, Chen Gong then got up and saluted, and slowly walked out of the military tent.

"Sir, walk slowly." Seeing Chen Gong get up and leave, Lu Bu responded casually, and immediately stood up and strode into the inner room of the back tent.

After walking out of the big tent, Chen Gong did not leave immediately, but stood in the outer corner of the tent and watched Lu Bu's tall and sturdy body enter the back tent. Then he looked up at the night sky, and the expression on his face was very complicated, sometimes worried, sometimes ashamed, sometimes hesitant.

Standing quietly for a long time, Chen Gong whispered to himself: "Although Lu Bu is arrogant and willful, he is better than being simple-minded, doing whatever he wants, recklessly, and being straightforward and honest. Moreover, he has always treated me well, and often considers himself a junior, which is really commendable. It's a pity that in troubled times, such an arrogant and uninhibited character will not be able to achieve great things after all, and sooner or later he will become the soul of other princes.

This Central Plains Alliance will be the biggest test for Li Li's brother-in-law, if he can survive this catastrophe, he will definitely have a great achievement in the future; If defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even though I, Chen Gong, wanted to report the news in advance, I felt ashamed of Lu Bu, which made me so embarrassed! Hey, okay, this time I'll stay out of the matter, don't help each other, and have the right to repay Lu Bu for his kindness! ”

After a light sigh, Chen Gong left the big tent of the Chinese army with a heavy heart, and his back was slightly rickety, melancholy and lonely.
