Chapter 831: Chen Yuanlong was faintly uneasy
Chen Gong was persuading Lu Bu to get rid of Liu Bei, but Chen Deng was persuading Lu Bu to leave Liu Bei.
At the beginning, Chen Deng was also with Liu Bei Junchen.
Now that Liu Bei is in trouble and has fled to Xuzhou, with Chen Deng's reputation and morality in Xuzhou, he naturally wants to help Liu Bei.
If he doesn't help, or even falls into the ground, it will have a great impact on Chen Deng's reputation, and he can't say anything at all. It will affect Chen Deng's future plans.
Lü Bu now occupies Xuzhou, and although he defeated Yuan Shu last time, he now has no spare strength to expand.
Without Yuan Shu's supply of grain and grass, Lu Bu's life is not easy now.
If Liu Bei's strength was weak, Lu Bu would naturally choose to strangle Liu Bei to death.
But Liu Bei's strength is not weak.
Even if Liu Bei only has 5,000 men and horses in his hands, if he wants to destroy Liu Bei, Lu Bu is worried that he will be caught by Cao Cao.
Chen Gong also knew that if he dealt with Liu Bei now, he might be picked up by Cao Cao.
But long pain is better than short pain, Liu Bei is in Xuzhou, it is like a tumor on his body.
Now the tumor is still small, and maybe when the tumor is cut off from the body, he will also risk his life.
However, the risk at this time is definitely less than that of cutting the tumor after it grows in the future.
In Chen Gong's view, there is a risk of thirty percent of dealing with Liu Bei's tumor now.
However, if you wait for half a year, the risk will rise to 50%.
In a year's time, the risk will be 80%.
Liu Bei has been in Xuzhou for many years, and as early as when Tao Qian was still there, Liu Bei had already gathered a large number of people in Xuzhou.
Whether it is a family or the people, they all have a good impression of Liu Bei.
And Lu Bu, now in Xuzhou, although he has no notoriety, he also has no good reputation.
Up and down Xuzhou, there is no sense of belonging to Xuzhou, which is ruled by Lu Bu.
In the past few days, Chen Gong has visited around and heard a lot of words about Liu Bei.
A few days after Liu Bei arrived in Xiaopei, the people nearby were celebrating.
How could this make Chen Gong unguarded and careless.
For such a Liu Bei, it must be strangled in the cradle, and he must not be allowed to grow up.
Listening to Chen Gong's analysis, Lu Bu wanted to cut off Liu Bei's tumor.
But Chen Deng, who was on the side, was also analyzing, leaving Liu Bei's benefits.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao are already like fire and water, if Cao Cao attacks Xuzhou, Liu Bei will not dare to sit idly by, and will inevitably help Lu Bu.
In addition, Sun Ce in Jiangdong is now also heroic, Yuan Shu's defeat is already doomed, and when the time comes, it is necessary to guard against Sun Ce's northward, and Liu Bei can also share the firepower.
But Chen Deng's analysis is not unreasonable, and Lu Bu fell into hesitation.
For Chen Deng, Lu Bu's trust is limited.
So after hesitating, Lu Bu still favored Chen Gong.
In just a few days, the hearts of the people around Xiao Pei have already fluctuated, and they are all talking about Liu Bei's goodness.
How can this be done in the long run?
Lu Bu was not at ease.
However, just when Lu Bu decided to attack Liu Bei, Zhao Hui's letter was finally delivered.
After Lu Bu saw it, he immediately chose to let Liu Bei stay in Xiaopei, and no longer planned to attack Liu Bei.
Zhao Hui's secret letter, Lu Bu also showed it to Chen Gong.
Chen Gong also gave up.
He has not been in contact with Zhao Hui, but during Lu Bu's years in Xuzhou, Zhao Hui has always secretly supported Lu Bu.
The last time Lü Bu captured Xuzhou and defeated Guan Yu, it was also Zhao Hui who secretly sent a force to mix in Lü Bu's army.
Chen Gong has not figured out what the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhao Hui is.
said that Lu Bu was Zhao Hui's person, but Lu Bu's so-called actions in Xuzhou were not at all like there were people above.
But what does Zhao Hui mean by helping Lu Bu again and again?
Chen Gong asked Lu Bu before, but Lu Bu only told him that he and Zhao Hui were good friends, and the two were like brothers.
But Lu Bu?
Chen Gong really doesn't know, who can be Lu Bu's brother.
When Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou, he was also a brother with Liu Bei, but the result was not to take Liu Bei's Xuzhou.
For Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu,
Love is not worth anything at all, and when needed, Liu Bei and Cao Cao will talk about it.
When they don't need it, these two words are worthless in their hearts.
It's just that Lu Bu has gone a little too far compared to them.
Regarding Zhao Hui's secret letter, saying that he would go south next year, Chen Gong didn't know how credible this was.
But based on Zhao Hui's previous verification, Chen Gong also believed what Zhao Hui said in his letter.
As for Chen Deng, Lu Bu did not show him the secret letter.
Even the generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Lu Bu didn't show them.
Chen Deng thought that his persuasion had failed, but he didn't care.
Even if Lu Bu really attacked Liu Bei, he Chen Deng could also profit from it.
It's just that he was ready, but he suddenly learned that Lu Bu gave up his decision to attack Liu Bei.
This made Chen Deng puzzled.
The last time, Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, and the same was true.
It's just that in the process of contact later, Chen Deng found out that Lu Bu was still the same Lu Bu, and he gradually forgot about this matter.
But now it's happening again.
Last time, it may be said that Chen Gong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
But this time, Chen Gong was determined to attack Liu Bei.
It is impossible to change the decision overnight, and at the same time convince Lu Bu again.
"Could it really be Lu Bu himself?" Chen Deng thought to himself.
"No, behind Lu Bu, there may be another person."
"But who will it be?"
During this time, Chen Deng was very close to Lu Bu, except for Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and others, he didn't find that there were other people around Lu Bu at all.
Liu Bei planned Xuzhou before, and Lu Bu also stared at Xuzhou.
He, Chen Yuanlong, was also looking at Xuzhou.
As a Xuzhou family and a famous person in Xuzhou, Chen Deng believes that he has the obligation to let the people of Xuzhou avoid the suffering of war in this troubled world.
However, since Tao Qian's later years, Xuzhou has been affected by war over the years.
People who could have been safe and secure now don't know how many people have been displaced. How many people have already fled to Jingzhou.
Today's Xuzhou is not what Chen Deng wants to see.
Tao Qian can't keep Xuzhou, Liu Bei can't keep Xuzhou, and now Lu Bu, Chen Deng doesn't think he can keep Xuzhou.
The only one who can keep Xuzhou is Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.
But now, if he doesn't understand the person behind Lu Bu, Chen Deng can't feel at ease.
Chen Deng had a feeling that if his plan failed in the end, it must be the person behind Lu Bu.
This made him feel faintly uneasy in his heart.
Chen Deng found Chen Gong and asked, "Gongtai, isn't the general already preparing to attack Liu Bei, why did he suddenly give up again?" ”
Chen Gong said: "Isn't this exactly what you Chen Yuanlong wanted?" ”
Although they are both surnamed Chen, Chen Gong is the Chen family in Yanzhou, and Chen Deng is the Chen family in Xuzhou, and the two families are not related.
For Chen Deng, Chen Gong also kept a certain distance, and without Lu Bu's approval, he naturally would not tell Chen Deng about the relationship between Zhao Hui and Lu Bu.
