Five days later, not surprisingly, Liu Dai died on the battlefield. And Yanzhou, which was in dire straits, successfully survived the difficulties under the protection of Cao Cao and repelled the Yellow Turban Army. Bao Xin and the local clans in Yanzhou were very grateful to Cao Cao, and at this time Yanzhou was also ownerless, so Cao Cao resigned many times at the strong request of the Yanzhou clans, and finally "had to reluctantly" accept the position of Yanzhou assassin.

This play is very wonderful and very successful. Cao Cao naturally took Yanzhou as his base, and basically did not spend a single soldier, and by the way, he won the hearts of the people of Yanzhou.

After enduring for several months, Cao Cao finally made a decisive move and occupied Yanzhou and became a prince.

There is Xun Yu to manage internal affairs, and there is drama to control the general trend, there are many good strategies, and there are countless fierce generals under his command. Although Yanzhou was poor and weak, and there were not many soldiers, Cao Cao's strength should not be underestimated.

Seeing the information in his hand, Yuan Shu sighed lightly: "What should come will always come!" Cao Cao still rose. ”

In Yuzhou, Liu Bei was busy controlling the local forces. With a cheekiness comparable to Liu Bang, coupled with his ability to speak well and cry, Liu Bei really attracted a lot of forces who wanted to speculate and were not taken seriously. also accepted a lot of advisers.

After all, Yingchuan is located in Yuzhou! There is this outstanding Lingzhi County under his command who has given birth to most of the good schemes in the north, how could Liu Bei not visit one or two?

Subsequently, with a sincere attitude, he successfully moved a great talent in Yingchuan, Chen Qun. The two talked happily, and on the same day, Liu Bei named Chen Qun as Sima to assist him in managing Yuzhou.

If you want to talk about Chen Qun, this product chose Liu Bei as a last resort. Cao Cao has Xun Yu and is loyal, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have a lot of advisers, and he will not receive much attention even if he goes to defect. As the descendant of the Chen family, Chen Qun is arrogant, how can he be willing to succumb to others?

And the rest of Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others are not the image of the Ming Lord, let alone Chen Qun's eyes. Therefore, the only thing Chen Qun can choose is Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's low background is a flaw, but it is not an advantage. The perseverance of this person's will and the sincerity of his attitude of seeking merit are also the best among the princes of the world.

Moreover, this person is broad-minded, dares to delegate power, and has the name of a Han clan relative, which may not be a good choice for Chen Qun.

What's more, with the two brothers of Guan Zhang, who are enemies of 10,000 people, and the anointing land of Yuzhou, if he has the support of his Chen family, he is really not much worse than Cao Mengde.

"Lord, we need a suitable opportunity to take control of Yuzhou now, and it is best to be as justified as Cao Cao. In this way, the overall strength of Yuzhou can be maintained to the greatest extent, and there is capital to maneuver between Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu. ”

Although Chen Qun's reputation in the late Han Dynasty was far inferior to Xun Yu and Guo Jia, his talent was not much worse than these people.

It's just that he had bad luck in history, and he served Liu Bei in Xuzhou for the first time. As a result, Liu Bei paid attention to his reputation, knowing that it was a trick for Cao Cao to let him crusade against Yuan Shu, but Liu Bei, who cherished his reputation very much, still chose to obey.

As Chen Qun expected, Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, and Liu Bei fell to Xiaopei. Chen Qun, who was in Xuzhou, could only sigh that he was born at the wrong time.

The second time this product defected to Cao Cao, this time he didn't choose the wrong person. But it was too late, and Xun Yu occupied the position of the head of internal affairs around Cao Cao early.

Even though Chen Qun's internal affairs ability is not inferior to Xun Yu, because he went late and is indeed inferior to Xun Yu, he has been pressed to death by Xun Yu. It wasn't until Xun Yu died that he began to emerge.

It is said that both Shengyu and He Shengliang, but in fact, Chen Qun is even more aggrieved than Zhou Yu. Appearance, background, talent, and qualifications are all top existences, but they are all more than another top existence Xun Yu, this is Chen Qun's tragic life.

But now that he is under Liu Bei, this is not a good thing for him. After all, Liu Bei really didn't have a few strategists under him, like Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and the like, they could only say that they could barely manage a county, which was not enough to make a fortune in the world.

Chen Qun firmly occupies the position of the first strategist under Liu Bei, and can fully reveal his talent.

"What does Changwen teach me?" Liu Bei said humbly.

As a descendant of Liu Bang, he has taken his ancestors as an example since he was a child, and his behavior is always imitating the former. Especially Corporal Lixian and Zhiren are good at their duties, and they are playing perfectly.

He is now such a top strategist, Liu Bei has great trust in Chen Qun, and basically he will agree to Chen Qun's suggestions.

Therefore, Cao Cao is often on the lips of this quality, and Liu Bei is the one who presents it perfectly. Even though Zhuge Liang single-handedly controlled most of the power under Liu Bei's command, Liu Bei still believed in him and was even happy to see it.

Seeing Liu Bei so humble and trusting himself, even if he was as arrogant as Chen Qun, he was a little moved: "Lord, Yuan Shu near Lujiang has changed recently. Cao Mengde has also sent a message of unity to us recently, and this is exactly the opportunity we are waiting for. ”

Liu Bei thought of the ruthless Cao Cao, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Changwen, is Cao Mengde credible?" ”

Chen Qun replied without hesitation: "Naturally it is not credible!" But also credible. ”

Liu Bei was curious: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Chen Qun smiled slightly: "What Cao Mengde hopes for is nothing more than that we and Yuan Shu will be hostile, so that he can take the opportunity to capture Xuzhou, and then Xu Tu Central Plains." The alliance that this man is talking about is nothing more than a delaying tactic. ”

"However, Cao Mengde wants to unite us to weaken Yuan Shu, and this statement is credible."

Thinking of Yuan Highway who had come to invite him, but was rejected by himself, Chen Qun sighed lightly in his heart.

Look away! Although he discovered the other party's extraordinary courage, Chen Qun did not choose to agree to the other party at that time because he was unwilling to live under Xun You and others.

But I didn't expect that the other party's courage was far beyond my imagination. Within a year, all the forces of Yangzhou were completely integrated, and even the family had to be completely submissive to the other party, and Jingzhou was taken again. Yuan Shu has become a general trend, not to mention dominating the world, but there will be no problem with separating one side.

Now that I think about it, how nice it would have been if I had agreed to the other party in the first place? Guo Jiaxunyou is not good at internal affairs, Tian Feng is alone, with the strength of the Chen family, he can firmly occupy the position of the first minister of the interior under Yuan Shu.

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, and now unless Yuan Shu came to invite him in person, Chen Qun really didn't have the face to go to him again.

But how could Yuan Shu, who was now the overlord of one side, deign to invite someone who had rejected him again? Not to mention that there are not many capable ministers in Jiangdong now, and there are five or six who are almost the same level as himself, so Chen Qun broke off his heart to defect to Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu easily occupied Jingzhou three months ago, and now he is sharpening his knife Huo Huo, and he may attack my Yuzhou at any time, and he will want to dominate the Central Plains."

"Cao Cao will never stab us in the back at this time. Therefore, this time the three of us jointly suppressed Yuan Shu's actions, and Cao Cao should not lie to us. Otherwise, it will definitely not be only us who will suffer, Tao Qian and Cao Cao will also have to be buried together. ”

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and nodded thoughtfully. Yuan Shu is powerful, and now the princes of the Central Plains are bound to huddle together to keep warm. If he really suffered, he would naturally not make others feel better, presumably Cao Cao would not do such an unwise thing.
