Chapter Ninety-Nine: Raising Troops Against Cao

"Meng Gao, it's been raining a lot, hasn't it?" In the evening, Zhang Miao, the county guard of Chen Liujun, and his younger brother Zhang Chao had dinner together, originally the two brothers did not eat together, but Zhang Chao came here today to report to Zhang Miao, it was dinner time, so the two brothers sat down to eat together.

"Well, it's been three, this year's grain harvest has failed, and all the crops that the people have just sown have been washed away!" Zhang Chao was in charge of the supervision of grain production in Yanzhou, and the original reporting work was directly reported to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also regarded him as his eyes and ears, because he had to pay attention to the problem of grain at all times, but now that Cao Cao is on the expedition, Zhang Miao is in charge.

"Grain~" Zhang Miao frowned, took a bite of food, and said: "There are always so many things in this, hey~"

Zhang Chao glanced at his brother who was sitting in front of him, and asked in surprise, "Brother, your recent state is not very good!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Miao listened to Zhang Chao's words, raised his head and said, "Is there one?" ”

"Yes, I can feel it!" Zhang Chao shook his legs at this time, and the chopsticks were on his teeth.

"How did I not know!" Zhang Miao finished eating the rice in the bowl, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and said: "You, you are now in charge of supervising the production of grain, if you wait for Meng De to come back, your work will not be done well, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Chao took a breath of cold air at this time, unconsciously put down the dishes and chopsticks and complained: "When I get to Cao Cao, I will be angry, I used to be Guangling Taishou, the feudal official of the imperial court, and now I follow him Cao Cao, but I only do a job of supervising production, I fucking ......"

"Shut up, be loud!" Zhang Miao hurriedly stopped Zhang Chao and said: "The heart wall has ears!" ”

Zhang Chao sighed deeply and said in a low voice: "The popular people around Cao Cao now are either his original team, like Cao Ren Cao Hong, Brother Xiahou, or people from Yuzhou, people like Xun Yu, how many of us are from Yanzhou?" ”

"Chen Gong, isn't it?" Zhang Miao said casually.

"Puff~Hahaha......" Zhang Chao laughed in a low voice: "My brother, where do you think your confidence comes from?" ”

"Why do we want to do so much, just do our job!" Zhang Miao sighed and said.

"Duty, where is so much duty!" Zhang Chao picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea and said: "Brother, Cao Cao doesn't take Yanzhou people in his eyes at all, then Chen Gonghan has worked hard to recommend those celebrities to him, he will kill them, where did he blink when he killed, you let him kill Cao Ren now, kill Xun Yu and see, I don't believe he will kill!" ”

"Cao Cao has indeed gone a little too far, killing Bian Rang, how many Yanzhou scholars have been cold!"

"Brother, let's not follow Cao Cao!" Zhang Chao deliberately lowered his voice.

"You...... This...... If you don't do it with him, who will you do it with? Zhang Miao was so frightened by Zhang Chao that he couldn't even speak.

"Do it yourself! We have more than 10,000 elite soldiers in our hands, afraid of him, now his main forces are in Xuzhou, let's stab him in the back now, pinch his food, and ensure that he will not die but also be disabled, at that time, you will be the history of the state assassin, I will be a local county guard, we will promote all the people in Yanzhou, and kill Cao Cao's henchmen! Zhang Chao made a head-killing move at this time.

"Shut up!" Zhang Miao scolded in a low voice at this time: "We did our best to support him as the assassin of Yanzhou, and now we are stabbing people in the back, what do you think of me, what do you let the descendants think of me in the future, how will I Zhang Miao gain a foothold in front of the subordinates in the future!" ”

"If you don't do it, you won't do it, what's the big deal!" Zhang Chao was too lazy to talk to Zhang Miao, so he said casually.

"You won't be allowed in the future, this kind of thing is simply a big rebellion!" Zhang Miao pointed at Zhang Chao and scolded.

Seeing that Zhang Chao didn't eat it, Zhang Miao asked, "Do you still want to eat this meal?" ”

"I have no appetite, I won't eat it!" Zhang Chao glanced at Zhang Miao, he was very disdainful of his brother's cowardice.

"Lord Qiqi, there are people outside the door asking to see you!" At this time, the soldiers outside the gate of the county government ran over and said.

"Who, it's raining!" Zhang Miao said.

"He is wearing a robe, covered in mud, claiming to be Chen Gong, he wants to see you, if you don't want to see him, he will leave!"

"Fuck, bang you uncle, call him in!" As soon as Zhang Miao heard that it was Chen Gong, he scolded sharply.

"Yes, yes, my lord, let's go!" The doorman was so frightened that he immediately turned around and ran towards the door.

"He arrived as soon as we arrived, brother, what will happen when you come at this time?" Zhang Chao looked at Zhang Miao, who looked puzzled, and asked.

"How do I know!" Zhang Miao got up and walked towards the door, stood at the door, looked at the movement outside, and suddenly a man in a coat and covered in mud hurried here under the leadership of the soldiers.

"Oh, Brother Gongtai, you rushed from Dongjun to Chenliu in the rain this time, is there anything important?" Zhang Miao hurriedly made way for Chen Gong, and then shouted towards the door: "Someone!" ”

"Thank you, brother, you can go back first!" Chen Gong turned around and said to the doorman.

The doorman looked at Zhang Miao, saw Zhang Miao waved his hand, signaled him to leave, and turned to leave.

"Sir!" At this time, the butler of the county government came over, saw a stranger, and said, "There are guests!" ”

"Go get a clean set of clothes and put them on for my brother!"

"Yes, sir, I'll go!" The housekeeper will leave when he is done.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, you guys are eating!" Chen Gong saw that there were still some leftovers on the table, so he sat down unceremoniously, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and reached out to put them in his mouth: "Oh, I'm starving, Brother Meng Zhuo, there is still rice, bring me some food!" ”

"Meng Gao, bring some food to the public platform, go quickly!" Zhang Miao said to Zhang Chao.

"Oh, okay, okay!" Zhang Chao was also frightened by Chen Gong's posture at this time, and immediately ran out to serve dinner.

"Gongtai, where are you from?" Zhang Miao saw Chen Gong at this time, as if he was seeing a beggar, and his heart was full of doubts.

"I came from home, I ran for three or three nights, and finally arrived!" Chen Gong said while eating.

"Master, the clothes are here!"

"Gongtai, quickly take off your dirty and wet clothes, don't damage your body by then!" Zhang Miao took the clothes from the housekeeper and handed them to Chen Gongdao.

"Okay, I'll change it!" Chen Gong took the clothes, walked into the house, and changed the clothes on his body with a smile, and after a while, he walked out and said, "Brother Meng Zhuo, I'm sorry for you!" ”

"Hey~ There's no trouble between you and me, you and me, why are you here, didn't Cao Cao let you stay in Dongjun?"

"What are you going to do?" Chen Gong sat down again, and saw that Zhang Chao had brought the rice, so he picked up the rice bowl and devoured it, at this time he said: "I came here, there are some things I want to discuss with you, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now I will come here in such a breath, and it is also because I have made up my mind!" ”

At this time, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao found a place to sit down, and then said to the housekeeper who was cleaning up the dirty clothes inside: "Take out all the clothes inside, don't clean up here!" ”

"Yes, sir!" After the housekeeper finished taking out all the clothes, there were only Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao in the house.

"What's the matter, look!" Zhang Miao was the first to ask.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, let me ask you first, what do you think of Cao Cao?" Chen Gong suddenly came to ask such a question, which made Zhang Miao confused.

"You ask me Meng De, Meng De is naturally a talented and courageous leader!" Zhang Miao said with a smile.

Chen Gong could see at a glance at this time that Zhang Miao was deliberately guarding against himself, so he said: "At the party before, I heard what Cao Cao said to you in private!" ”

"Privately? What words? Zhang Miao saw that Chen Gongjin was a little strange, so he asked in surprise.

"Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao to kill you!" Chen Gong finished staring at Zhang Miao directly.

"What, why didn't I know about this?" Zhang Chao was startled when he heard this.

Zhang Miao recalled that sentence at this time, and still has lingering palpitations, that time was when Cao Cao repelled the Yellow Turban Thief and held a celebration banquet, when Cao Cao came down to toast the heroes, Cao Cao drunkenly leaned into Zhang Miao's ear and said: "Yuan Benchu asked me to kill you, but I dismissed him on the spot, who made you my best brother!" Unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by Chen Gong on the side.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Zhang Miao was defensive at this time, he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, only to feel that his mouth was particularly dry.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, don't get me wrong!" At this time, Chen Gong put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Today, the purpose of Chen Gong's coming is to let Brother Meng Zhuo and I raise troops against Cao together!" ”

"Poof~" Zhang Miao suddenly spit out the water in his mouth, he put down the teacup and said: "What kind of bastard are you talking about, we helped Meng De to the position of assassin with Bao Xin before, and now you want to overthrow him, what are you thinking?" ”

"Brother Meng Zhuo, I regret it, I regret that I didn't start out, Cao Cao is not the kind of person we think, isn't it?"

"I've always thought Meng De was very good!" Zhang Miao looked at the other side of the road.

Zhang Chao, who was sitting on the side, could be regarded as having a good show at this time.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, don't deceive yourself, do you think Cao Cao really won't do anything to you?"

"Isn't he? I'm his best brother, he won't do anything to me, and since he speaks, he won't break his word! ”

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are allies, nominally Cao Cao is still Yuan Shao's subordinate, and now for Cao Cao, do you think Yuan Shao is important or you are important!" Chen Gong took a sip of water and continued: "Cao Cao is now being attacked on three sides, and his power has not been consolidated, if he turns against Yuan Shao now, unless Cao Cao is a fool!" ”

"Even so, what about it?"

"Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, during the period of the Dong Alliance, you often accused Yuan Benchu in front of the public, Yuan Shao hated you to death, later, Yuan Shao wanted to kill Lu Bu, but you became friends with Lu Bu, what you did, how could Yuan Shao tolerate you, Yuan Shao was so important to Cao Cao, once Yuan Shao forced Cao Cao, where would Cao Cao have room to resist, and then you would only have a dead end!"

Chen Gong's words made Zhang Miao sweat profusely, and he was in a cold sweat.

At this time, Chen Gong said again: "Moreover, today's heroes are everywhere, and you have such a vast land and many soldiers, and you are in a situation where you are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and you can also be called a hero among people, but you are controlled by others, isn't it detrimental to your identity?"

"That's right, brother, I have long advised you to oppose Cao and Cao, why didn't you listen? Today, Mr. Gongtai has come to persuade you, so you can agree! At this time, Zhang Chao was anxiously persuaded on the side.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, we have to send it when we are ready to fly!"

"But we're no match for him!" Zhang Miao raised his head at this time and said.

"Lu Bu outside Yanzhou, has been wandering, the army in Yanzhou City is now crusading eastward, the city is empty, Lu Bu is a strong general, good at fighting, moving forward bravely, if he is ushered in for the time being, occupy Yanzhou together, wait and watch the situation, and act with the camera, so that we may be able to make a big career, besides, you and Lu Bu are still close friends!"

"Hey~" Zhang Miao flicked his sleeves helplessly and said, "It's just like this!" ”
