"Lord, our army killed more than 6,000 enemy troops in this battle, and the loss was only 2,000. After the battle, Lu Bu returned to the camp with his whole army, and after Wei Xu counted the results, he reported to Lu Bu very excitedly.

At this time, Lu Bu was also very excited, he thought that Cao Cao would not be too weak even if he was not able to defeat him, but he didn't expect this battle to be so smooth, and Cao Cao who killed him could not form an army, although he did not kill Cao Cao's generals, but such a record can already make Lu Bu proud. Lu Bu's fear of Cao Cao also relaxed a lot in his heart.

"Good!" Lu Bu shouted: "All the generals in this battle have merit, and after I break Cao Cao, I will be rewarded together!" ”

When the generals heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and only one person in the big tent was not happy but worried, and his face was solemn.

Wei Xu looked at Chen Gong with an uneasy face, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Master Chen, what's wrong? Are you unwilling to see that our army has won a great victory instead of being defeated? ”

Murderous and heart-wrenching, Wei Xu's words can be described as extremely vicious, which directly made everyone in the tent show a little dissatisfaction with Chen Gong.

"What nonsense?" Lu Bu glared at Wei Xu fiercely, and explained for Chen Gong: "Gongtai is loyal and upright, how can he be so small-bellied? He was worried that Cao Cao had other schemes. ”

Lu Bu has a reckless personality and soft ears, but he is not a person who does not know what to do. He knew very well how Chen Gong treated him, if it weren't for Chen Gong, he would probably still be a lost dog, or he would have become a slave under other princes. Moreover, Chen Gong has never been arrogant, he knows how to advance and retreat very well, except for his upright personality, he has no other shortcomings. Lu Bu can be said to have a lot of trust in him.

Chen Gong glanced at Wei Xu deeply, looked at him directly, and then slowly bowed down and whispered to Lu Bu: "Thank you for your trust, Gong is indeed happy to win this battle, but it is even more worried." Cao Mengde's treacherous person, who has been fighting in the south and north for many years, how could he be defeated so easily, and the palace is afraid that there is fraud in it. ”

Wei Xu was just taken aback by Chen Gong's emotionless eyes, and after recovering his senses, he suddenly felt a little annoyed and angry, and he didn't care about Lu Bu's previous warning, and sneered again: "Chen Junshi was frightened by Cao Cao!" Oh, I forgot, you were driven out by Cao Cao in the first place, and I am afraid that a shadow has fallen in my heart. ”

As soon as Wei Xu's words came out, he instantly felt a little regretful in his heart, and quietly glanced at Lu Bu with a sideways look, and sure enough, the other party's face was already gloomy. The atmosphere in the whole tent changed and became tense. The generals glanced at Wei Xu with some dissatisfaction and stopped talking.

Scolding people does not expose shortcomings, not to mention that now Chen Gong is his own person, and he has a lot of credit, although the generals are a little tired of his usual discipline and chatter, but they are very admired for his skills and integrity. At the moment of the great enemy, Wei Xu's ignorant remarks really shouldn't be.

"The last general was in a hurry and lost his words, and he hoped that the military advisor and the lord would forgive his sins!" Realizing that he had made a big mistake, Wei Xu hurriedly made up for it and apologized.

"Wei Xu should be severely punished if he commits the following crimes, but in the face of the great enemy, the rod will be punished twenty!" Lu Bu said sternly.

Chen Gong sighed in his heart, the reason why he angered Wei Xu so much just now, and even did not hesitate to disturb the other party's mind, was actually to hope that Lu Bu could severely punish him and temporarily get down this person who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures, so as not to affect the next battle situation. Although he doesn't like power scheming, it doesn't mean that he won't. Especially in the face of a greedy villain like Wei Xu, who has an impulsive mind, he can play with it in applause at will.

Chen Gong was so hostile to Wei Xu, not because the other party scratched his sore spot. The clean man is self-purifying, he is not a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and he will not be jealous because of the failure of his plan. At this time, he was very sober, Cao Cao was just trying to show weakness and seduce, it was Lu Bu who indulged his vigilance and lured Lu Bu to continue the attack. But he couldn't stop it, he knew Lu Bu's character very well, and dissuasion at this time would simply add fuel to the fire, and it would only make Lu Bu more irritable.

He was powerless to stop it, and he could only be as cautious as possible at this time, and take out the-stirring stick like Wei Xu first, so as to avoid this thing from doing some stupid things at that time. But he underestimated Lu Bu's indecision, and in this case, he still protected his brother-in-law, but he only scolded him with a painless rod, instead of temporarily taking away his military power.

Wei Xu secretly hated in his heart, and was also relieved to learn that Lu Bu ordered the cane to be punished twenty, but he really hated Chen Gong in his heart. This person not only cut off his wealth, but also set him up, which is simply hateful!

As early as the incident in Xuzhou, Wei Xu secretly hooked up with Cao Cao. Although Yuan Shu relied on his own wealth at that time, he directly smashed Wei Xu with money and broke the transaction between Wei Xu and Cao Cao, but Yuan Shu didn't pay too much attention to such a money-greedy villain after that. On the contrary, Cao Cao, in turn, continued to win over this untrustworthy and two-faced villain, and planted another nail beside Lu Bu, which played a huge role at this time.

Wei Xu is timid and greedy by nature, although he is favored by Lu Bu, but he is not completely loyal to Lu Bu and has his own little abacus. Especially at this time, Cao Cao was powerful, and he even had the idea of stepping on two boats. On the one hand, he worked under Lu Bu, and on the other hand, he quietly and indirectly helped Cao Cao, no matter who won or lost on both sides, he would be fine. Even if he was discovered by Wei Xu, with Wei's affection, he would not be held too responsible.

First, he is Lu Bu's brother-in-law, and secondly, he did not help Cao Cao on the surface, and he will not leave much behind. For example, now, he urged Lu Bu to send troops, and then he was instructed by Cao Cao, but he also obeyed Lu Bu's wishes. If Lu Bu directly eliminated Cao Cao, what would happen if his little Jiujiu was known? helped Lu Bu defeat Cao Cao, and he was also a meritorious hero.

After Lu Bu admonished him a little, he quietly glanced at Chen Gong's face, and saw that he was not angry, and his heart was slightly relieved. Then, after a little arrangement, the generals were allowed to retreat. However, after the generals retreated, Chen Gong quietly turned back and met Lu Bu alone.

"Gongtai, I know that Wei Xu has indeed gone too far, but now that the war is approaching, I hope you will be a little more lenient, and he will definitely discipline him strictly in the future!" Lu Bu thought that Chen Gong had come back to ask the teacher for his guilt, so he hurriedly protected the calf first.

Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu deeply and sighed softly: "The lord has thought about it a lot, and he is not dissatisfied. A certain person came here only to borrow a team of soldiers and horses from the lord. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, his heart was relieved, and he said generously: "What should I be, you still need to ask me for instructions in person for some trivial matters?" Just go directly to Cao Xing and ask for a team. ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said solemnly: "Lord, I want to transfer this team of soldiers and horses from the baggage troops in the rear, and in addition, I hope that the lord will not tell anyone about this, especially Wei Xu." ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Why? ”

"Please rest assured, if you want this team of soldiers and horses to be of great use, I won't tell the lord what to do first. I hope that the lord will promise so-and-so and not tell anyone else. ”

Lu Bu thought in his heart, there were only fifty or sixty soldiers left and right, and it didn't hurt at all, and then looked at Chen Gong's solemn appearance, and nodded as if he was conscious.

"Good!"

Chen Gong's face was slightly relaxed, and he said in a low voice: "If the lord wants to continue to send troops, he will not dissuade him." But I also hope that the lord will be more careful when fighting, and don't fall for Cao Cao's trick to lure the enemy! ”

Lu Bu was puzzled: "Does the public platform mean that Cao Cao's defeat today is deliberate?" The loss of more than 6,000 soldiers is not a small amount, Cao Cao just wants to induce me to send troops, and the price is a bit too great. ”

Chen Gong shook his head lightly: "Cao Mengde is a cold-blooded hero, unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, as long as he can quickly eliminate the lord and occupy Qingzhou, let alone sacrifice thousands of soldiers in vain, even if he sacrifices tens of thousands, he will not hesitate." ”

Lu Bu felt something, but he was still a little incredulous.

Seeing this, Chen Gong sighed lightly: "The palace is all about this, how the lord chooses to support it, I just hope that the lord can be more cautious when fighting, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful." ”
