The next day, Li Ru also led the soldiers of the 2,000 wolf cavalry battalion back to Obifang County, and the news of the victory of the old camp of the Dangfang tribe spread throughout the entire Obifang County, and the notices of the people of Anfang have been posted everywhere, and the county is permanently exempted from taxes, trade is encouraged, and the officers and soldiers in the caravan Goguryeo are escorted and protected, and the lifeless people's livelihood in the city sprouts new vitality.

Even the nearly 10,000 slaves in the city saw hope, and the latest pardon issued by the Chen Palace wrote: All slaves who have behaved well within two years will be stripped of their slave status, and they can join the army and settle down.

In the inner courtyard of the humble county government, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Chen Deng, and Li Ru sat together, looking at a yellow scarf package on the table with different faces.

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said frankly: "This is the heirloom jade seal, I intend to send it to Xudu and return it to orthodoxy." ”

Chen Deng's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lu Bu in disbelief, everyone wanted to get the great weapon of this country, but he saw it so indifferently, was he concerned about the Han family or seeking private gain?

Li Ru stood up and clapped his hands and applauded: "The lord is wise." ”

And Chen Gong didn't seem so excited, he had long known that Lu Bu had the heirloom jade seal in his hand, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to give it away so soon.

Lu Bu said: "The three of them are my confidants, so I will be blunt, I intend to divide Goguryeo as the fourteenth state of the Han Dynasty, named Dongyi Prefecture, and promote the prestige of my Han Dynasty, what do you think?" ”

Li Ru's eyes turned sharply, and he said loudly: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, enter Dongyizhou, such a major event should be reported to the world." ”

Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "Wen Youmiao praised, in a weak county, why do you like to do it, it's just a false name." ”

"Now that he has a bad relationship with Gongsun Du, if the name is not right, once Gongsun Du is allowed to strike first, I am afraid that it will be difficult to say clearly, and this matter should be done quickly."

Chen Gong suggested.

Li Ru seconded: "The lord can let Zhang Shiping help spread the news, such a good thing for the country, he will not shirk, once the news spreads in the world, you can send two people to the direction of Xudu to ask for favor, all the way through Liaodong out of Youzhou from Jizhou to Xudu, with more rare treasures, BMW good horses beat gongs and drums, and Yuan Benchu did not dare to intercept the imperial offering." All the way by water, from Xuzhou in Donglai County to Xudu, he sent his confidants to secretly ask to see Cao Cao with the jade seal of the country. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said: "Wen You's intention is exactly what I want, and Yuan Long has an opinion." ”

Chen Deng Mouran said: "Wen Hou is wise, Chen Deng has no objections. ”

"Okay, this matter will be brought to Xudu by the public platform, the public platform and Cao Cao have an old relationship, Cao Cao will not be deliberately embarrassed, after you leave, Yuan Long will be in charge of internal affairs."

"No!"

Chen Gong happily accepted the order, for now, Lu Bu can't find a military general, among the ministers, Li Ru's identity is not suitable, a poisoner who messes up the country, and a sinner who kills the emperor. Chen Dengchu returned to obedience, Lu Bu didn't dare to take this risk, in case Cao Cao detained Chen Deng with a dead face, the gains outweighed the losses.

Chen Deng got up and excused himself: "Internal affairs are very important, Chen Deng is afraid of messing up Wen Hou's plan, so please ask Wen Hou to find another virtuous person." ”

Lu Bu didn't care whether Chen Deng was prevaricating or tempting, and said sincerely: "Yuanlong's talent is rare in the world, if you can't do it, I'm afraid that no one in this world can do it, and you will rule with the public platform, which is my Lu Bu's great luck." ”

"Brother Yuanlong can't shirk."

Li Ru and Chen Gong persuaded from the side, but Chen Deng's face turned slightly red, making people think that he was a little arrogant, and hurriedly replied: "I will not give up in the next lunch, if there is anything wrong, I hope that Wen Hou will give you guidance as soon as possible." ”

The four of them talked about it in detail, and finally summed it up in one place, written by Chen Gong himself, the above table: In August of the fourth year of Jian'an, Goguryeo often plundered the border of the Han Dynasty, burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil, the border people were displaced, the blood did not stop, and the people were not happy, the minister Lu Bu regretted the people of the Han family, led the troops to pay 5,000 into Goguryeo, beheaded the Goguryeo Zuo General Yesu, Chimu Su, expelled the Goguryeo throne palace, unified the territory of Goguryeo, and raised the prestige of the Han Dynasty. Under the Dongyi school captain's mansion in the old camp of the Fangfang pill capital, with Fang County, Lelang County, the minister from the state pastor, Chen Gong for the other to drive, Chen Deng for the book Cao to engage, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun for the soldier Cao to engage, the Changshan Zhending Zhao Yun for the protection of Dongyi school captain, hope that His Majesty is allowed.

As for Li Ru, he didn't dare to appear in front of the world during this special period, lest he would mess up a pot of good porridge, and after the ups and downs, he would not be fame and fortune.

Zhao Yun was strongly requested by Lu Bu to be added, he didn't care whether Zhao Yun could obey the call or not, anyway, he would give him the high hat first, and he couldn't let Liu Bei get the first sign.

Time passed, and at the end of the month in a blink of an eye, Lu Bu became a father again, Diao Chan gave birth to a daughter to him, her skin was white and tender, and she was named Lu Doudou, the meaning of which only Lu Bu himself knew, Lu Dou mung bean, Lu Bu himself felt very messy.

……

Xu Du, Prime Minister's Mansion.

The news of Lü Bu's unification of Goguryeo spread everywhere like the wind, some sang praises of virtue, saying that Lü Bu's expansion of territory was the blessing of the Han Dynasty, and there were also those who criticized behind his back, saying that Lü Bu deliberately provoked border wars and was an out-and-out murderer.

Cao Cao said to Guo Jia beside him: "Fengxiao, I never expected that Lu Bu would attack Goguryeo, and he can also see the place where the projectiles are stuffed?" ”

Guo Jia said with a depressed face: "Actually, I never expected that Lu Bu would act like this, I am afraid that it is the instigation of Chen Gong and others behind the scenes, and it is a good place to go to Goguryeo, at least it is better for us than staying in Xuzhou." ”

When it came to Xuzhou, Cao Cao was also annoyed, he really shouldn't have let Liu Bei go out of Xudu, but now this guy has been in Xuzhou for the trouble, not only killed the general Zhu Ling, but also killed the assassin he sent to Xuzhou, if it weren't for Guo Jia's proposal to recruit Zhang Xiu first, and then exterminate Liu Bei, I'm afraid that Cao Cao would have sent troops to destroy Liu Bei.

"I heard that Lu Bu sent five hundred BMW horses and twenty cars of rare treasures, and came to Xu Du to present his majesty, and he has entered Yuan Shao's territory in Jizhou."

Cao Cao laughed.

Guo Jia admonished: "I'm afraid that he came to ask for an official and a knight, he acted so ostentatiously, deliberately letting everyone in the world know that he Lu Bu was a loyal minister of the Han family, and even Gongsun Du and Yuan Shao did not dare to deliberately intercept him, so as to embarrass the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao's eyes were sharp, and he said: "The land of just one county, what a way, reward him, if he wants Youzhou, also reward him, it depends on whether he can cross Gongsun Du's Liaodong County." ”

Guo Jia said bluntly: "My lord, at this time, I will not let Lu Bu and Gongsun Du have a bad relationship, if we let Gongsun Du drag Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in Youzhou, it can relieve the pressure for us." ”

"What Feng Xiao said is very ......"

Between the words, Xu Chu entered the inner hall and said: "Lord Qiqi, there are old people outside the mansion who ask to see him, and ask the prime minister if he still remembers the grace of Zhongmu County in the past?" ”

"Quick, please come in."

In the past, Cao Cao attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, changed his clothes and fled, and was captured in Zhongmu County. In court, Cao Cao used his words to impress the county commander Chen Gong, so that Chen Gong abandoned the official and fled together. When he went to Chenggao, he met Lu Boxuan, the former friend of Cao's father, and invited Cao and Chen to the village for hospitality. Cao Cao smelled the sharpening of his knife and mistook Lu Cunxin for harm, so he killed the entire Lu family, burned the village and fled. Chen Gong saw that Cao was so vicious and ruthless, killing innocents in vain, and was very remorseful, so when he stayed in the hotel, he took advantage of Cao Cao's sleep and left alone to join Lu Bu.

Only the two of them know about this past in the world, Cao Cao personally greeted him, and without waiting for Chen Gong to see him, he grabbed Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, this is Chen Gongtai of Chen Palace." ”

He said enthusiastically to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, this is Guo Jia, this is Xu Chu!" ”

A sincere enthusiasm really flattered Chen Gong a little, Chen Gong saw them one by one, and then said: "Chen Deng was ordered by Wen Hou to send Xu Du to meet the prime minister, and he had special important matters to discuss. ”

Cao Cao's face still did not change, and he said smoothly: "Today is just to talk about the past, not to talk about the war, Xu Chu, go and tell the cook, prepare good wine and food, I want to get drunk with the public platform." ”

Xu Chu hurriedly took the order and retreated.

Chen Gong saw that Cao Cao deliberately shirked the prevarication, and said in a long voice: "The old thing will come for a long time, and Wen Hou has a sharp weapon for him to hand over to the prime minister personally, and I hope that the prime minister will retreat." ”

Cao Cao said unhappily: "Don't let mundane things spoil the relationship between you and me, the public platform will stay in Xudu, and Cao will never treat you badly." ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "The prime minister is already a very popular minister, one person is above 10,000 people, I am afraid that I can't climb high, and I ask the prime minister to retreat left and right, this sharp weapon is not seen by ordinary people." ”

Cao Cao Rong was half a horse, and he was not afraid of Chen Gong's assassination, so he withdrew all the subordinates and tiger guards who were waiting on the left and right, and said: "Fengxiao is a certain henchman, and it doesn't hurt to say it directly on the public platform." ”

When Chen Gong came, he heard Lu Bu say that Guo Jiake was a scheming guy, and replied: "Except for Mr. Guo, Wen Hou often warns him, Mr. Guo is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he has not been able to hide the eyes of Mr. Guo from major events in the world." ”

When this sentence reached Guo Jia's ears, it was like Lu Bu was laughing at himself in a different way.

Chen Gong took out a yellow scarf package from his underwear, solemnly put it in Cao Cao's hand, and said, "This is a sharp weapon given by Wen Hou to the prime minister, the prime minister may wish to open it and take a closer look." ”

Cao Cao felt that this thing was slightly heavy, revealing a trace of coldness, and when he opened the yellow scarf covered on it, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmly reprimanded: "Lu Bu made a jade seal privately, and he wanted to frame the prime minister. ”

Chen Gong replied loudly: "Why does the prime minister want to cover it, this jade seal is a real heirloom jade seal, Mr. Guo Jia should know the allusions, you can take a closer look." ”

Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang ordered Xianyang jade worker Wang Sun Shou to grind and carve the seal of the He's Bi, and ordered Li Si to write the seal "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", and the jade seal of the country was completed.

When Wang Mang, a relative of the Western Han Dynasty, usurped the throne, he sent his younger brother Wang Shun to ask the Empress Dowager of the Western Han Dynasty for this seal, and the Empress Dowager threw the jade seal to the ground in a fit of anger, and the jade seal was broken a corner, and Wang Mang ordered the craftsman to fill the gap with gold.

Guo Jia looked at it for a while, and said vaguely: "In the lower position, I have never seen the jade seal of the country." ”

The sloppy methods of the two of them, Chen Gong knew at a glance, Chen Gong argued: "In the past, Yuan Shu's soldiers were defeated, Liu Bei wanted to compete for the jade seal of the country, and Wen Hou took the lead, Wen Hou said, these great weapons of the country, should be orthodox, if the treacherous people want to swallow privately, they will cut off their children and grandchildren, and sure enough, Yuan Shu ended up with a corpse in the wilderness." ”

Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong and said with a gloomy face, "Is that what Lu Bu really said?" ”

Chen Gong replied: "Wen Hou's original words are that those who swallow privately will cut off their children and grandchildren, and only the orthodox people of the Han family can enjoy the mandate of heaven, and he also said that Yuan Shao did not obey the order, and Yuan Shu was the same, and he was ashamed that he was the prince of the Yuan family for three generations, and he did not understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, and he would die sooner or later." ”

"Okay, good, it's really like spring and autumn every other day, I didn't expect that Lu Bu could also be loyal to the Han family, and the great luck of the world is that the jade seal of the country will be sent to the palace overnight and handed over to Your Majesty in person."

Cao Cao swore an oath.

Chen Gong thanked him: "I want the prime minister to be fulfilled, it is precisely because of the prime minister's righteousness that Wen Hou is relieved to hand over the jade seal to the prime minister, not Yuan Shao, this is Wen Hou's last book, and please take a look at the prime minister." ”

Chen Gong presented the above form to Cao Cao, and said with a serious face: "When Wen Hou came, he said that if the prime minister wanted a war horse, he could ...... it."

Even if Chen Gong didn't say it, Cao Cao already understood what he meant, Lu Bu wanted to negotiate peace, and he couldn't afford to make it early, it was just some false name, and he was rewarded with it.

"Gongtai lives in the mansion for the time being, and tomorrow I will ask His Majesty for advice in the morning, but it will be tiring to go back and forth from Gongtai."

At that moment, Cao Cao ordered his subordinates to take Chen Gong to rest early on the grounds of offering the jade seal, and wait for the morning tomorrow.
