Dong and Dong Youzai are from Zhijiang County, Nanjun, and are quite famous in Nanjun, Chen Ji led Nanjun, and according to the custom, invited the locals of Nanjun to be Peng, including Dong He. He wanted to invite Dong He to serve in the Taishou Mansion several times, but Dong He declined. At this time, Dong He suddenly appeared in front of Chen Ji, which made Chen Ji feel very uncomfortable. No matter how stupid he is, he will not think that Dong He is grateful for his appreciation, and he will come to serve him at this time and save him from danger.

Dong He walked to Chen Ji's side and pointed to the big camp in the distance. "Does the Fu Jun know what's there?"

Chen Ji was silent. Of course he knew what was there, but what he didn't know was what Dong He was doing. "Is the young man here to persuade him to surrender? If that's the case, then I'm sorry for not being sensitive. But I won't surrender, and you don't have to insult me in vain. ”

Dong He sighed. "In that case, then he won't talk much. However, thanks to the wrong love of the prince, many courtesies, and very grateful, when this time of life and death, I should say thank you to the king. After speaking, bow down and bow to the end.

Chen Ji looked at it and relaxed his attitude slightly. "Ji Bucai, I can't be a young man, it's a pity. When you fall into today's field, you can't complain about others. It's rare to be righteous, and Ji also has a word to tell. Sun Ce has a heart of disobedience, the situation has changed, Chang'an is about to come to Nanyang in the near future, and he will not be proud for long. If you want to be peaceful, it's better to stay out of the matter and don't get too close to Zhou Yu. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. However, the prince said that Sun Ce had a heart of disobedience, so where to start? Although his father Sun Jian was rough and easy to kill, he was loyal to the imperial court, and he did not retreat when he fought against Dong, and Shandong Prefecture and County were no better than him. He inherited the legacy of General Yuan, the fourth and third dukes of General Yuan, and was posthumously made a marquis not long ago. Sun Ce has a father like this, how can he have a heart of disobedience? ”

Chen Ji was speechless for a while. "This ...... He violated the law and slaughtered the strong. ”

Dong He nodded. "That's true, but at best, he can only say that he is a cool official, not a disobedient, right? In the troubled times, Dong Zhuo used heavy codes, Dong Zhuo was chaotic, prices were surging, and the people were not able to make a living. Not to mention anything else, the people of Jiangling now support Zhou Yu and want to be the enemy of the prince, are they all wrong? ”

Chen Ji was speechless. But he was more worried about Dong He's last sentence. "The people of Jiangling all support Zhou Yu?"

Dong He's answer to the question was not asked, and he pointed to the point. "The prince of the mansion seized people's property to reward the soldiers, have you ever thought about who these warriors under the command of the prince are? Do you know how many people are waiting outside the city to call their husbands and ask them to fight back? ”

Chen Ji's scalp was numb, and he turned to look at Deng Ji. Deng Ji smiled bitterly. He had already reminded Chen Ji, but Chen Ji didn't expect the outer city to be attacked so quickly, and he didn't have time to make remedial measures.

When Chen Ji didn't react, Dong He then said: "The prince of the palace is misunderstood, thinking that Sun Ce is not a minister, killing thieves for the country, and his loyalty is commendable, but he is just a pearl secretly invested." Who is Liu Xun? He was originally General Yuan's old department, General Yuan ordered him to pass through Luonan County and Jiangxia, but he betrayed General Yuan's will, how could he be loyal to the old master? The household registration of Nanjun is several times that of Jiangxia, and Jiangling is the throat of the north and south. Zhou Yu led 20,000 people to besiege the city, he didn't come to the rescue of the king, but sat and watched the success or failure, how could he be brave and righteous? Who would be willing to serve such a loyal, unwise, courageous, and unrighteous man? The prince of the government works hard for such a person, and who wants to be with the monarch of the house? ”

Dong He stretched out his hand again and pointed to the camp outside the city. "The monarch of the palace is in the county for a year, there are few servants, and Zhou Yu has been in the county for less than a month, and the servants are like clouds. Don't you know where to go? The people of Nanjun have envied the people of Nanyang for a long time, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time, but the prince of the palace does not know. ”

Chen Ji's cheeks twitched, ashamed and annoyed. Dong He turned around and said to Deng Ji beside Chen Ji: "Dare to ask General Deng whether he is from Nanyang or Nanjun?" ”

Deng Ji hesitated for a moment. "I am a native of Deng County, Nanyang, and I am the king of Gui County."

"Oh......" Dong He nodded meaningfully. Sure enough, things gather by like, people by groups, and the general is a loyal person like the king, but he is not a person. It's a pity, you could have made a meritorious career and glorified the lintel, but now you can't die. ”

Deng Ji's face twitched like Chen Ji, and his heart was depressed. Isn't it, if it wasn't for the wrong person, but under Sun Ce or Zhou Yu, would he be so aggrieved? Thinking about it, he suddenly found that Chen Ji's eyes were wrong, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized.

Zhong Donghe's plan, this is clearly sowing discord.

Dong He smiled slightly and bowed. "General, and stupid, I don't know how to persuade, that's all I say, and I ask the prince to think twice, don't mislead people, it's a small matter to ruin your life, and with the name of a traitor, you can't face General Yuan." With that, he took two steps back and turned to leave.

Chen Ji's face was pale. He didn't care about Yuan Shu, but Dong He was right, Liu Xun was stupid and incapable, and he was not Sun Ce's opponent at all. What can the imperial court do, the imperial court itself is difficult to protect, there is no money and no food, besides, Chang'an is thousands of miles away, and there is Nanyang in the middle, the people of Nanyang support Sun Ce, and they have no good impression of the Xiliang people, even if Huangfu Song leads the troops to come, there is not enough food and grass supply, he may not be Sun Ce's opponent.

Forget it, don't hold on, it's not worth dying for Liu Xun. If he had the chance, he might surrender faster than anyone else.

Chen Ji gave Deng Ji a look, and then looked at Dong He, Deng Ji understood and hurriedly chased after him.

"Dong Youzai, please stay."

——

Chen Ji surrendered the city, and Zhou Yu was very surprised. When Dong He took the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Chen Ji to surrender, he didn't have much hope, it was just a routine. I didn't expect Dong He to succeed. He was very satisfied, and asked Dong He Ren Juncheng to act as the Taishou to deal with the aftermath of Nanjun, while he quickly deployed an attack on Liu Xun.

Deng Ji assisted in persuading him to surrender, and Zhou Yu asked him to still lead the old department and transfer it to Deng Zhan's command. Chen Ji was promoted to a partial general and still led the old department, but the captains and military marquis under his command felt that there was no future with him, and hoped to switch to other generals like Deng Ji, but they were embarrassed to speak. Chen Ji knew that he was at a loss, so he could only swallow his anger and wait for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. He originally regretted it, but after he finished participating in the military meeting, he knew that the city was inevitable, Zhou Yu had been using him as a sparring partner, if he attacked with all his strength, Jiangling City would have been broken and attacked, so he was relieved and secretly rejoiced.

At the end of the military discussion, Deng Zhan took the big tent, took Deng Ji to his camp, and said to Deng Ji: "Bertong, we have to attack Liu Xun and cut off his retreat in time, without further ado, so as not to cause extraneous branches, you don't have to bring too many people, just pick some elites to bring with you, so as not to fall behind and not be able to keep up with the action." I have obtained General Zhou's permission to allocate 300 equipment from the baggage battalion to you. ”

Deng Ji looked at the soldiers under Deng Zhan's command, looked at the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, nodded and agreed.
