No. 007 A Better Chance 1
Hearing this explanation, Lu Bu on the main seat was even more surprised, this matter, in addition to himself, Chen Gong, and his eight strong generals, only the envoy sent by Cao Bao, the military general of Xuzhou, knew about this matter. Because of the importance of the matter, he didn't even inform the other civil officials around him. In total, they only discussed this operation twice.
Moreover, every time he discussed, Lu Bu would let his soldiers stand fifty paces away from the Yanei, so it was impossible for an outsider to know about it.
The only possibility is that some of these people who know about it have already leaked the secret.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, who was sitting like a mountain on the side, and gave him a look, these two dolls were he insisted on inviting, what role could such a small doll play in front of him?
"Hehehe, junior brother Jue, when you say this, why does Chen think that you don't seem to approve of Wen Hou's move in your words!" Sure enough, he is a smart person, Chen Gong smiled on the surface, but as soon as he spoke, he pointed out Jin Jue's intentions.
"Junshi Chen is really smart. Wen Hou, the boy is now seriously injured and has not recovered, and he is really impatient to stand for a long time, can you give me and my stepfather a seat? Chen Gong was able to guess the meaning of his words, Jin Jue was not surprised at all, and with a sigh of admiration, he pointed to his injured left leg with his finger and pleaded.
"Yes!" Lu Bu nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a soldier in the yazhong immediately brought him a small pier by himself. As for Jin Jue's father-in-law, Lu Bu didn't care, and his own soldiers didn't care.
Jin Jue glanced at Hua Tuo helplessly, and thought that Lu Bu had saluted, so he sat down with the support of his brother.
Jin Jue replied: "Liu Xuzhou is now preparing to send troops to resist Yuan Shu's attack, and Wen Hou is preparing to seize Xuzhou at this time, which is naturally a golden opportunity, once the army is raised, it will definitely succeed, there is no doubt about it." The gains and losses are not something that the kid can judge. However, Wen Hou, Chen Junshi, and everyone present, if there is a better opportunity in front of you now, will you still do this kind of thing that damages Wen Hou's reputation again? ”
"What better opportunity, you kid Mao didn't have to open up, what insight can you have?" This time he stood up and reprimanded Jin Jue, but it was another general, he arched his hand at Lu Bu and said: "Wen Hou, kill this kid directly now, save yourself from leaking military secrets and delaying the big thing!" Moreover, the soldiers are very fast, and now that there is a possibility of leaking secrets, the last general thinks that he should step up the march now, even if the secrets are leaked, it can also make Liu Bei, the weaver and trader, have no time to return to the army to rescue. ”
"General Hao doesn't have to be anxious, no matter how anxious he is, he won't lack a quarter of an hour or two, I'll ask this kid again." Chen Gong waved his hand and motioned for Hao Meng to retreat.
As soon as Jin Jue heard the other party's name, Hitomi couldn't help shrinking, this small detail, most of the people present did not find it, but it was seen by Zhu Jianping, who was very observant.
Hao Meng didn't dare to contradict Chen Gong, so he could only retreat to the side for the time being.
Chen Gong still asked with a smile: "Little Brother Jue, let's not talk about any great opportunities, you can talk about the gains and losses of seizing Xuzhou first!" ”
"Three family slaves, this is the world's evaluation of Wenhou." When Jin Jue heard this, he stretched out the three fingers of his right hand at Lu Bu, and boldly said such a thing.
All of a sudden, it aroused the anger in the hearts of the eight strong generals in the Yazhong, and the nine generals pulled out half of the sabers on their waists, at this time, if Lu Bu gave an order, not only Jin Jue, but even the three people related to him would all be chopped into meat sauce by these wolf-like fierce generals on the spot.
"Hahaha!" When Lu Bu heard this, he was naturally very angry, and Tie Qing's face could show his current mood, but when the nine generals drew their swords and waited for him to give an order, he suddenly laughed out loud.
After laughing enough, Lu Bu waved his hand and ordered: "Put away the knife, you and I should listen to how this little doll justifies itself, so that Ben Hou will not kill him." ”
"No!" Lu Bu's words, no one dared to disobey, and the generals hurriedly pushed the half-drawn saber back into the sheath.
Jin Jue, who was in the whirlpool, seemed to be a nobody, and continued: "Of course, in this world, there are many titles for Wen Hou. 'Lu Bu among the people, Red Rabbit among the horses', General Fei and so on. Wenhou, the kid thinks that those benefactors who have been killed by you in the past will be killed if they are killed. Those people just think of you as a tool, a sharp blade. The blade can hurt both his opponent and himself. It is not a pity for those who do not have such mental preparation to die.
Ding Yuan is like this, Dong Zhuo is like this, Yuan Shao can only say that his dog life is very hard. It's a pity that you didn't be able to kill him, Wen Hou. However, Wenhou, you and everyone here ask yourself, how did Liu Xuzhou treat you when you were defeated in Yanzhou and fled here. Of course, because of Wen Hou's past reputation, he will naturally be wary of you in his heart.
But Liu Xuzhou is really taking you as a friend!
This time, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xuzhou, and Liu Xuzhou could completely give you some soldiers and horses like Tao Qian treated him at the beginning, and let you lead troops to defend the southern border of Xuzhou for him. Logically speaking, Wen Hou, is it really appropriate for you to do this? Of course, heroes do things, and naturally they can't care about their children's affection. But, Wenhou, can you sit back and relax when you take Xuzhou from Liu Xuzhou?
The ancient sages divided the people of the country into four people, and the farmers and industrialists were also. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, the four people have in fact become the five people's agriculture and industry, Confucianism and military ministers. The kid guessed that someone in Xuzhou secretly contacted Wenhou to send troops to seize Xuzhou this time, and this person must be a military minister.
How did the kid guess it? Actually, it's very simple to say it. Because, when Tao Qian ceded Xuzhou to Liu Bei, he was affirmed by the vast majority of Confucian ministers in Xuzhou. Liu Bei's subordinates have no outside Guan Zhang, although the two are brave, but after all, they are only military generals, and they naturally cannot threaten the status of those Confucian ministers of the Xuzhou family.
However, your reputation does not necessarily mean that you will be recognized by them. Of course, in the face of your absolute force, they can choose to surrender for the time being, even more docile than under Tao Qian and Liu Bei. But, Marquis Wen, will Cao Cao sit back and watch you once again threaten the safety of Yanzhou after you sit down in Xuzhou? At that point, his greatest enemy will not be the other princes around him, but you.
What's more, the current Xuzhou is not the Xuzhou where Tao Qian is powerful, the land is vast and densely populated, and the people are rich and happy, but has experienced several large-scale massacres by Cao Cao, resulting in the entire Xuzhou being almost plague-ravaged Xuzhou. Such a ruined place of four wars, if I were Liu Xuzhou, I would never take over such a mess.
Once Cao's army invades Xuzhou again, it doesn't take too much, those Confucian families in Xuzhou only need to rebel, how many counties and counties can be left in Xuzhou in your hands? Of course, Wen Hou, you can assign your eight generals to the counties of Xuzhou to serve as county guards. But, Wen Hou, if the kid said something extremely inappropriate, how can you be sure that these generals will not rebel against you when they are in a hurry? ”
Having said this, Jin Jue closed his mouth, there were many disadvantages of Lu Bu's seizure of Xuzhou, but he knew very well in his heart that if the great opportunity he offered could not impress Lu Bu for a while, this sneak attack would eventually happen. No one can decide to put a plate of 'big meal' Xuzhou at their fingertips.
Jin Jue's last words were indeed a little offensive to the eight strong generals.
However, among the people present, neither the civil officials nor the Eight Warriors themselves were angry because of this. Because, they all saw it very clearly, when Lu Bu, who was sitting in the center, first heard the sentence 'Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses', his face had slowly eased.
Who doesn't want to hear good words, and who doesn't like to hear them!
In addition, Jin Jue's words just now were extremely beautiful, first suppressed and then raised, and the great contrast between before and after would make Lu Bu at this time feel a little complacent in his heart. What's more, Lu Bu has naturally heard the insulting and obvious directional word 'three surnames of domestic slaves'. It's just that the people who said this word in front of him at the beginning are all dead, and Jin Jue is the only one who is still alive now.
Therefore, none of them dared to act rashly at this time. Lu Bu is notoriously suspicious, even if he gets Xuzhou, he would rather let the Xuzhou gentry continue to govern other counties than assign them.
"Ahem, ahem!" When everyone in the yazhong was reflecting on Jin Jue's words, Chen Gong was the first to come to his senses, he coughed lightly, and said, "Little brother Jue, tell me about the great opportunity you said!" ”
In fact, deep down in Chen Gong's heart, he also strongly disagreed with Lu Bu's action to seize Xuzhou. However, this opportunity is really good, Chen Gong knows that he, the lord, can't stand this temptation.
"Master Chen, can you ask someone to prepare a big white piece of paper and pen and ink for the kid?" Jin Jue did not answer directly, but first made a seemingly unrelated request.
Chen Gong nodded, and his subordinates immediately moved a table with a few pieces of paper and a pair of pen and ink on it.
Jin Jue was not polite, polished the ink, put a pen on a piece of paper, and with a dozen strokes, it was over.
Jin Jue said: "Xiang Yu once said, 'Wealth does not return to his hometown, such as embroidering clothes at night, who knows', this sentence is wrong for Xiang Yu, who has already set the world." However, for those who want to gain a foothold in troubled times, it is worth savoring. Wen Hou, you are a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, and most of your generals and guards are also from Bingzhou. Wen Hou, Chen Junshi, please see, the kid said that the great opportunity is here. ”
With that, he pointed to the blank piece of paper.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong walked in and couldn't help but be taken aback.
