23 Envoy (2)

Chen Gong is not a qualified orator, his eloquence is very bad, his temperament is cold and hard, and his speaking attitude and tone are very unpleasant, otherwise he would not have followed Lu Bu to work hard but has not been trusted by Lu Bu, and he has also offended Gao Shun, including Gao Shun, a cadre of generals, Lu Bu, Liu Feng even doubted that if he hadn't met Lu Bu with a wolf's heart, he would have succeeded in opposing Cao Cao.

However, it is undeniable that Chen Gong's vision is there, he said that he is anti-Lu Bu, no matter what method is used for what factors, he succeeded, and almost killed Cao Cao, this time to invite Liu Feng, there is also an irresistible reason: Cao Cao Renjie, once he is full-fledged, he can no longer be copied!

This fact, there is no need for Chen Gong to say more, no one knows it better than Liu Feng.

Therefore, although Chen Gong turned around and came back to wear linen and filial piety, it was just a loud voice, neither crying nor making trouble, nor hanging, throwing the crying and mourning stick in his hand to the ground, and the pestle looked at Liu Feng with a cold face there, without superfluous nonsense. It was hated by Liu Pet to the point that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do.

"Please don't be as good as agitating generals, Chen Gongtai is really smart!" After a long time, Liu Feng's weird face loosened a crack, and he smiled faintly, "But you can't convince me yet." ”

After a pause, Liu Feng seemed to say to himself: "You can't let Cao Cao sit big, I understand this truth, but it's a pity that you look at the fact that if you want to swallow Cao Cao, then we have to have that strength in the state. ”

Chen Gong's face froze: "So, Your Excellency, don't you want to send troops?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." Liu Feng corrected, "The state is under the command of Liangzhou, Youzhou is owned by my father-in-law, and I can't take risks and work hard!" ”

Chen Gong sighed, arched his hand with Liu Feng with a dead face, turned around and left.

Liu Feng and Zhong Xuan glanced at each other, wanting to stop him, but finally they didn't open their mouths.

After Chen Gong left, Zhong Xuan said with some worry: "Chengze, Chen Gong is here this time, I'm afraid it's not so simple, and over there in Yanzhou, Lu Bu won't sit still." ”

Liu Feng shook his head, he didn't tell the truth about Chen Gong, he sent troops to Yanzhou to take advantage of the fire to rob, he was not unmoved. With the current family business in Bingzhou, as long as you recuperate for a few years, it is enough to crush the Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, including the Cao Cao group, it is unnecessary to take risks, but the so-called adventures are only counted when there is no certainty, if there is enough certainty, there is no question of taking risks or not taking risks.

Cao Cao sent troops to Jizhou, leaving the wolf son Lu Bu alone, which seemed to have an opportunity to take advantage of, but Liu Feng always felt that there was something wrong with this. Don't look at Liu Feng, Xu You is expected to be optimistic about Lu Bu, but with Lu Bu's personality, as the authority, how can Cao Cao pin his family business on Xu You, a "sage" who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures?

However, the fact that Cao Cao killed Bian Rang angered Chen Gong and other Yanzhou officials, and Liu Feng had to press this question again and again.

It's just that Liu Feng still can't make up his mind.

……

The fat in his mouth couldn't be eaten, and Liu Fengtu was troubled. At the same time, Chang'an Liu Bei also ushered in a messenger from the east, Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.

"Chen Deng meets the general!"

Chen Deng respectfully greeted Liu Bei, Liu Bei got up to support him, and said with a smile: "Chen Yuanlong, the best among the people, I can see it today, and I will die without hatred!" ”

"Climb the border and despise the savages, don't dare to be a general!" Chen Deng hurriedly smiled and humbled him. Liu Bei couldn't help but say, and put his arm on Chen Deng's hand to enter together, and let people serve wine and food, so that they could be entertained.

The guest and host humbled it, Liu Bei raised his glass and said with a smile: "Yuanlong is the old general Tao, I don't know if the old general Tao has always been good?" ”

"Don't dare." Chen Deng stood up and gave a deep salute to Liu Bei: "Come this time, one is to meet the Son of Heaven, to present a congratulatory gift, General Qing removed Dong Zhuo, and returned a clear sky to the Han Dynasty, and secondly, he is also General Tao, and he has a request for the general!" ”

Xun You nodded slightly and glanced at Jia Xu. Liu Bei hesitated slightly, raised his hand, and said: "Yuanlong doesn't have to be like this, he is also a minister of the Han Dynasty, but he has the ability to prepare for it, so he should not teach Yuanlong to be disappointed." ”

Chen Deng was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Liu Bei with hope: "Please general, save the people of Xuzhou!" ”

Liu Bei was stunned: "What is the reason for Yuanlong?" Hurry up, please! ”

Chen Deng sighed and said: "The general doesn't know, the Yuan brothers are rebellious, repeatedly messing up the border of our state, harming my people, General Tao has the heart to control the enemy, but Xuzhou is weak, there is no power, the general then Hu Lu but Yuan Shao Dong Zhuo, the prestige is far and wide, the sea is subdued, I Xuzhou up and down all look at each other, ask the general to save the people of Xuzhou in fire and water!" ”

Liu Bei was moved: "Liu Bei has a little name, but he dares to be the father of Xuzhou so recommended?" ”

"The general is benevolent, righteous and heroic, and Xuzhou looks up and down the general, like a loving mother who looks forward to a child!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "The general also heard that Xuzhou was in trouble, and he hated it bitterly, and he only hated the Yuan brothers for being a hindrance, and the general was beyond the reach of the whip, and he had more than enough strength but not enough strength, I don't know what Yuan Long had to say?" ”

"I don't dare to use the word 'teaching'." Chen Deng glanced at Jia Xu deeply, and said modestly: "Xuzhou since General Tao took charge, the people are safe and prosperous, up and down, but the Yuan brothers, Yanzhou Cao Cao are all suspicious, coveting Xuzhou, repeatedly raising troops to invade the border, messing with my Xuzhou, and it is rumored that Cao Cao has secretly funded the remnants of the Yellow Turban several times, doing the thing of taking advantage of the fire to rob, in the past, Dong Zhuo was chaotic, and the court could not stop, and now Dong Zhuo has been ambushed, Deng thinks, we must no longer let the Yuan brothers rebel and fall into the prestige of the court! ”

"Huh!" Jia Xu stroked his beard and laughed, and said: "What Yuan Long said is extremely true, but Cao Cao has always been respectful to the imperial court, if the general only relies on Yuan Long's words to raise an army to fight, I am afraid that the people of the world will misunderstand the general." ”

For Xun You, Chen Deng also recognized that Yingchuan Xun was a sage, a number of famous families in the entire Han Dynasty, as for Jia Xu, not only Chen Deng, but also the Cao Cao Group, which had always been on guard, also had no bottom on Jia Xu. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Jia Xu is very favored by Liu Bei's father and son, and in the civil official group of Bingzhou, he is no less trustworthy than Xun You, who was born in a famous family. And even Xun Yu is very respectful of Jia Xu.

For Jia Xu's embarrassment, Chen Deng sighed lightly unhurriedly, and said: "Those who do big things are not informal, who Cao Cao is, the world knows, if you have to wait until Cao Cao is evil, and then raise troops to conscript, I am afraid that the people of Xuzhou have been poisoned by it, and their lives will be ruined, and the general will regret it too late!" ”

This remark is not in a hurry, it is unremarkable, but Jia Xu Xunyou's eyes are bright, this Chen Deng is really extraordinary!

Or, Liu Bei decided that Cao Cao was a benevolent gentleman and would not harm the people of Xuzhou, or Liu Bei made up his mind to sacrifice the people of Xuzhou to achieve Cao Cao's notoriety, in order to become famous for his own teacher, and so on......
