After receiving Lu Bu's reply, Long Jun couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he still underestimated Chen Gong's vigilance against Guanzhong. However, since Chen Gong was willing to come to Chang'an to discuss in detail, Long Jun didn't mean to delve too deeply, and it was not too late to talk about it after seeing Chen Gong. Moreover, the merger of envoys from the state can also show that Lu Bu does have a united heart, and he is not afraid that Chen Gong will not spit out the interests that Guanzhong needs.

To this day, the Guanzhong army has always raised troops on the grounds of recovering lost territory and crusading against non-ministers. But since Dong Zhuo's death, it is difficult to find out the reason why Guanzhong sent troops, coupled with Lu Bu's arrogance and arrogance, and Chen Gong's stubborn temper that would rather bend than bend, Chang'an wants to use something to blackmail the other party, it will be difficult to achieve.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Long Jun got up from the main seat, walked to Yutu, and said softly, "Lu Bu rejected our proposal, this matter was beyond my expectations, I didn't expect this Chen Gong to be so vigilant." However, since Bingzhou intends to negotiate with us, it means that they are also afraid of Yuan Shao's threat. Therefore, next, our army might as well show the enemy weakness on the way from Chen Gong and confuse the state, in exchange for the opportunity for our army to recuperate. ”

"If we show weakness to the enemy, will we be self-defeating, let the state think that my Guanzhong is empty, and take the opportunity to invade my border? Although Lu Bu said that he had the intention of forming an alliance, his subordinates felt that the arrival of Chen Gong this time might not take this opportunity to return to Shangjun. Once the two sides are at odds with each other, Lu Bu holds the Son of Heaven in his hand and occupies the righteousness, and our army is mobilizing various departments at this time, coupled with the observation of Chen Palace along the way, our army is very likely to be caught off guard by the other party! "In fact, Xun You has always been worried about forming an alliance with Bingzhou, Lu Bu's tiger and wolf heart is no less than Dong Zhuo back then, and compared to Dong Zhuo's distrust of Li Ru, Lu Bu is now convinced of Chen Gong.

Hearing this, Long Jun smiled, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel treacherous, although it feels that Long Jun's alliance with Bingzhou is not just because of political factors, but inside, let alone Xun Yu, even Guo Jia and Xun Yu know very little. So Long Jun walked to the map, pointed to the Xiongnu Department of Xihe County and said, "Actually, I prefer Lu Bu to do it with us, as long as he makes a move, I have a reason to send troops to Xihe, although the Blazing Sky Army and Dragon Tiger Wei were thrown to Qinling by me, but as long as Bingzhou moves, these two men and horses can take advantage of the water army to kill along the river into Xihe and take Li Dao." ”

It turned out that the alliance with Lu Bu was fake, and it was true to lure Lu Bu to make a move, although this would damage the reputation of Guanzhong, but at this time period of the melee in the Central Plains, no one would care about this matter at all, and it was not Taiyuan that Long Jun was crusading against, but Li Dao, who had become a rogue. As long as the Guanzhong army takes Li Dao, it can contain Lu Bu on the east side of the river, and with the advantage of the water army, Guanzhong has formed a condescending situation against the annexed state, which can not only enter the annexed state, but also use this to recuperate.

"But I'm afraid that Lu Bu will send troops too quickly, and our army will not have time to transfer to Shangjun and Hedong. At that time, our army will again be on the passive. "Although Long Jun's plan is brilliant, if the state sends troops too quickly, and Hedong and Shangjun can't stop it, then Guanzhong will be in danger. Even once Hedong was lost, the Guanzhong army could only restore the scene of the confrontation with Dong Zhuojun and place the Wuji battalion in Shaanxi County to prevent the other party from forcibly crossing the river and sneaking behind Hangu Pass.

Regarding Xun You's worries, Long Jun shook his head indifferently, turned around and explained to Xun You, "The Bingzhou army is now in the Xihe and Huguan areas, and if you want to quickly enter the east of the river, unless Lu Bu gives up the Li Dao department, where will he come from?" In addition, Chen Gong is extremely smart, once he finds out that our army's internal air defense is weak, I am afraid that the first thing to do is not to send a message to Lu Bu, but to find out the truth of this matter first, don't forget, all smart people have an advantage, like to think twice before acting, although this is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage, because he is not the one who can really call the shots, and he has to think about the character of his own lord in his heart. ”

was explained by Long Jun, and everyone suddenly realized, as Long Jun said, in many things, the mastermind did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and had to ask the lord, but just like this, it is very likely that he will lose the opportunity. Therefore, Long Jun's plan can be said to kill three birds with one stone, inducing Bingzhou to send troops, and Lu Bu will lose Li Dao's first department and add it to the west of the river; If Lu Bu does not send troops, Guanzhong can take this opportunity to recuperate and wait for the battle in the coming day; If Chen Gong thought about it again and again and did not inform Lu Bu of this matter, then when Lu Bu heard about it in the future, there would be a gap between the two.

So no matter what Lu Bu chooses, Guanzhong is invincible, and it can even be said that when Guanzhong gets the benefits it deserves, Bingzhou has no other choice but to rely on Guanzhong to resist Jizhou's edge. Because in terms of ambition, Guan Zhong is far less straightforward than Yuan Shaolai.

According to this, half a month later, Chen Gong accompanied by Tai Shici, quietly arrived in Chang'an, for what he saw and heard along the way, Chen Gong was suspicious, but also secretly praised the development of Guanzhong, compared with the people of the state, obviously the people under the rule of Guanzhong are more comfortable, and the smile on his face is more sincere.

To Long Jun's surprise, when Chen Gong found that there was a shortage of soldiers and horses in Hedong, he wrote a notebook to remind Lu Bu to beware of Guanzhong's methods. From his point of view, how could the Guanzhong army, which has more than 100,000 men with armor, be in a situation where the border is stationed in air defense? This must be what Long Jun was planning, so he handed the report to the guards who accompanied him, and said in a deep voice, "You must hand over this report to the lord, and tell him that in case I have any trouble in the pass, let him not raise troops out of anger, I have my own way to save myself, and if the lord asks me why I said this, you remember to tell the lord what we saw and heard along the way, don't hide anything." ”

"Wow. Please rest assured that the little one will personally hand over this letter to the lord. Looking at Chen Gong with a solemn expression, the guard also knew that this matter was very important, and after saluting Chen Gong, he secretly left Chang'an on the occasion of the handover of the mission.

After Long Jun heard that there was one less person in the Hezhou Mission from Skynet, Long Jun sighed helplessly, in addition to secretly praising Chen Gong's wisdom, he also admired the other party's reaction so quickly. Then Long Jun waved his hand at the spies of the Sky Net to signal that this matter was left alone, anyway, it didn't make a difference to Guanzhong whether Lu Bu knew this matter or not, and besides, this was just a temporary intention after Chen Gong saw through his previous plan, and it was not a big deal.

Three days later, Long Jun received Chen Gong and others in the Tianlu Pavilion in Weiyang Palace, looking at the renovated Weiyang Palace, Chen Gong's worries became deeper and deeper, he felt that Long Jun was playing a big game of chess, Li Dao and Yuan Shao, and even his own lord were chess pieces in the hands of the other party. So Chen Gong took the initiative to mention Long Jun's letter that day, and in the name of the Han Emperor's residence in Jinyang Palace, he politely rejected Long Jun's intention to activate the inner court of Weiyang Palace.

Seeing that the other party rejected him straightforwardly, Long Jun couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart. Now he is no longer the young man who was worried about the survival of his family, and he is also a superior person. Chen Gong neglected him like this, which was equivalent to trampling on the face of the entire Guanzhong. Long Jun replied with a smile, "Since Chen Junshi is so straightforward, then Ben Hou might as well tell you that I will decide on the position of the inner court, if Lu Bu doesn't give it, I Guanzhong hundreds of thousands of people with armor may not personally go to the state to manage him, and at that time I hope that Chen Junshi can be the same as today!" ”

In the face of Long Jun's threat, Chen Gong couldn't help but regret that he was too rigid just now, but saying it is equivalent to spilling water, if he is soft now, then how can the two sides unite and merge states to gain the initiative. So Chen Gong stood up and walked to Long Jun's table, and asked in a deep voice, "Then has the Hou Ye heard of Lin Xiangru?" ”

Listening to Chen Gong taking Lin Xiangru as an example, the people present on the Guanzhong side couldn't help but laugh angrily, if it was Lu Bu who was standing in front of Long Jun, what qualifications did you have as a literati to threaten Long Jun here. Xun You, who had never wanted to ally with the state, sneered, "What, Chen Junshi wants to learn from Lin Xiangru, is it five steps to be angry and bloody?" ”

Chen Gong didn't care about Xun You's sarcasm, his eyes just stared at Long Jun, and when Long Jun showed curiosity, Chen Gong smiled and explained, "I know that I can't compare to the ancients, and I just want to tell Hou Ye that as an envoy, I will never let Hou Ye because of Hou Ye's threat." Whether Guanzhong sends troops to merge with the state, or unites with our lord, in fact, it all depends on what Hou Ye thinks in his heart! However, if the prince is still alive today, the Hou Ye wants to take advantage of the inner court of the Weiyang Palace, even if there is His Majesty's will, is the Hou Ye not afraid that the rest of the princes will be frightened and jointly crusade against Guanzhong? ”

is worthy of Chen Gong, and the embarrassment between the two will be skimmed in a few words. So Long Jun asked with a smile, "Go on to say, Ben Hou thinks that today, Chen Junshi will come up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone for Ben Hou." Ben Hou is looking forward to it! ”

Seeing Long Jun's playful smile, Chen Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Long Jun has let go of his anger, Chen Gong didn't dare to go around in circles with Long Jun anymore, so he explained his inner thoughts and thoughts, "Hou Ye wants to help our army solve Li Dao's first department in exchange for Weiyang Palace to re-establish the world, this plan is good for the foreign minister, but it is just good!" I don't know if Hou Ye thought about it, although Weiyang Palace can bring political advantages to Hou Ye, it will inevitably anger Jingyi and Jingyi Prefecture, don't forget that Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are both from the royal family, and their ambitions are no less than Dong Zhuo back then. ”

"So what? Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are both dogs and cows, if they don't move, if they dare to move, how can the hundreds of thousands of troops in my Guanzhong be comparable to this kind of goods? Master Chen, don't forget, now Hanzhong in Yizhou is still in the hands of our army! ”

Someone retorted, Chen Gong had already expected it in his heart, so he looked at this temporarily transferred Guanzhong official, and said disdainfully, "I thought that the masterminds in Guanzhong were all great talents like Guo Fengxiao and Xun Wenruo, but I didn't expect that there would be such a short-sighted person." ”

"Vertical Zi'an dares to deceive me!" Saying that, the official was about to get up and ask Chen Gong for an explanation. Who knew that when Xun You got up, he hurriedly grabbed this person, shook his head lightly at him, and signaled him not to be impulsive and wait for Long Jun to deal with it.

Who would have thought that Long Jun didn't seem to care about this, neither giving this person a head, nor agreeing with Chen Gong's statement. I only took a sip of tea and drank it, which made people scratch their heads. After a few breaths, Xun You understood what Long Jun's move meant, so he hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding the man, and whispered in his ear, "You can do it!" The Lord Guild will take care of the aftermath for you! ”

As soon as the words fell, the Guanzhong official smiled, and then in Chen Gong's puzzled gaze, he walked to Chen Gong's side, and then knocked Chen Gong to the ground with an old fist, and before he could continue to act, Long Jun coughed lightly, waved at him, and smiled at Chen Gong, "This is a member of the Guanzhong Rite Department, what do you think of him?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Gong to reprimand, Long Jun put down the teacup in his hand and continued to laugh and said, "I have hundreds of thousands of people with armor, none of them are much worse than this person, since he dares to make a move on the foreign envoys in this Tianlu Pavilion today, do you think that my Guanzhong soldiers dare not do anything to Liu Biao and Liu Zhang's generation?" Don't talk nonsense, just say your hole cards, I'm not in the mood to waste a word with you here. ”
