"That's why the old man will say that it's too late now, not only is the time late, but the situation has changed, with Tao Qian's body and bones now, he will definitely pass away in a year, whether this position is Deran or his pottery businessman, who can beat Yuan Shu? With a long sigh, he said: The current situation is no longer something that can be resolved by the marriage contract between you and the Mi family, let alone the support of the Chen family. ”

"Since Mr. is so concerned about the boy, the boy will not have reservations about Mr., the boy has 30,000 horses under the boy's account, all of them are elite soldiers, and at the critical moment, he can also transfer 20,000 troops and cavalry from Liaodong, on the other hand, Yuan Shu is just a dry bone in the mound, that is, with 100,000 armor, I have never been afraid of him, if one day I have to take charge of Xuzhou, I will never let Yuan Shu touch an inch of land in Xuzhou."

"Is this true?"

"I would never dare to say a word in front of the Ming people." Liu Lan swore and said.

Chen Qi thought about it, but shook his head slightly, and said: "Even if De Ran really has this ability, but Xuzhou is a pool of troubled water, if you want to wade into this troubled water, how can it be so simple?" Knowing that he was puzzled, he explained: "In addition to Cao Bao's Danyang Army in Xuzhou, there is also Zang Ba in Langya County, what should Deran do then?" And how does Danyang Jun Deran deal with it? At that time, not to mention whether Zang Ba has made any moves, that is, Danyang Jun should cooperate with Yuan Shu from inside and outside, what about Deran? How to reject Yuan Shu and Xuzhou? ”

Listening to Chen Qi's continuous cannonballs, Liu Lan was already a head and two big, and the sudden appearance of Zang Ba gave him a headache, and made him even more helpless, and Danyang Jun made him not know how to start, and a helpless feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart for a while.

Although he also knows that these are the problems that must be overcome in Xuzhou in the future, at this time, it is not Chen Qi who is taking the school examination himself, if he does not even have a solution to these problems, how can he be willing to support himself in Xuzhou.

Chen Qi slowly picked up the teacup and sipped it, and looked at Liu Lan with cloudy eyes. In an instant, a trace of disappointment flashed on his wrinkled face, and the last glimmer of hope for Liu Lan in his heart was slowly fading.

Liu Lan knew that he had to give a satisfactory answer to Chen Jue today no matter what, neither full of nonsense nor talk like those Confucian scholars, but to come up with a practical and feasible solution.

"One pulls, one divides. I don't know if that's possible? ”

Liu Lan didn't know much about Zang Ba, only that when Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu, he led his troops to rescue Lü Bu, and later surrendered to Cao Cao and has been guarding Qingzhou.

Chen Qi looked at Liu Lan's eyes and said, "How to win over?" And how to differentiate? ”

Liu Lan thought for a while and said: "If the kid takes charge of Xuzhou one day, for Zang Ba, the kid thinks that he can't be killed, but he wants to win him over." If it is removed, it will be divided into troops to suppress the Yellow Turban (Zang Ba is an armed force that exists to defend against the Yellow Turban), so why not continue to put him in charge of Langya? As for Danyang Jun, Cao Bao and Zhen Rong can be divided, and if they can be suspicious of each other, then great things can be expected. ”

For Zhen Rong, Liu Lan seems to remember that he finally fled to Liu Xuan, but Cao Bao stayed in Xuzhou and married Lu Bu. Since both of them are the commanders of the Danyang army, but the two eventually parted ways. There is only one explanation, that is, the two are not as harmonious and invulnerable as they seem on the surface, in this case, he naturally wants to make good use of such an opportunity to make the two contain each other.

Chen Qi put the teacup back in front of the low machine, and said unhurriedly: "But I don't know how to divide the two of them." ”

There was a sudden knock in front of the door. The two of them immediately shut up and looked towards the door, only for a moment Chen Deng pushed the door in.

Chen Jue looked at Chen Deng, only to see that his face was full of anxiety and slightly surprised. asked, "Deng'er, what happened, why are you so panicked?" ”

Chen Deng didn't care about saluting the two, and hurriedly said: "Father, Derangong, happy event, great happy event." ”

"Happy event?" Chen Jue looked confused: "What's the happy thing?" Hurry up? ”

Chen Dengxi was overjoyed and said, "Zhenrong led the Danyang Army Headquarters to run. ”

"What?"

Liu Lan was only momentarily surprised in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Ran away?" Where's the run? ”

Chen Deng smiled awkwardly, then guessed, and said, "I don't know, but Zhenrong has been supervising Guangling and Pengcheng Yuncao before Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, so he should have gone to Guangling." ”

Liu Lan nodded, and looked at Chen Qi as if asking for advice: "What does Mr. think?" ”

"Danyang Jun is sitting on such a favorable trend, why does this Rong Rong run?"

Chen Qi looked at Liu Lan and Chen Deng: "This point must be worried, is it because of the desire to hide from the world, or is it really incompatible with Cao Bao?" He looked at Chen Deng and said, "Do I know the details?" ”

"I don't know about it." Chen Deng shook his head and said.

Liu Lan on the side thought for a moment and said: "I'm afraid that this is a secret move of Danyang Army, after all, there are any contradictions within Danyang Army, but we don't know." ”

"Don't you know?" Chen Jue looked at Liu Lan with deep eyes and said, "De Ran may not know it, but the old man has heard about it. ”

Liu Lan let out an 'oh', looking like he wanted to know more about it, and said, "I hope Mr. will tell me." ”

"This Rong is a treacherous person, and he can't ask for the position of Xuzhou pastor. And this Cao Bao is a cautious person......"

Chen Qi said that he had already figured out the joints here, and he was overjoyed, "Deran, big things can be expected." ”

Looking at Chen Qi's complacent appearance, Liu Lan was confused, Zhenrong wanted to be the pastor of Xuzhou, and Cao Bao was a cautious person, so naturally he would not blindly seize power with Zhenrong...... Thinking about it, he was also happy in his heart, and said: "In Zhenrong's heart, Cao Bao is just a chess piece, he first allowed him to be the state pastor, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't explain why Cao Yi did that to Miss Mi's family." ”

"What Deran said is true, like Cao Bao and Zhen Rong are both from the Danyang Army, if there is a foreign enemy, they will naturally unite with the outside world, but for the sake of interests, it is inevitable that they will turn against each other."

"What the gentleman said is right, Cao Bao has already reached the time of desperateness, otherwise he would never risk offending the potter and let his son do those things." Liu Lan talked eloquently and said: "It's just that Cao Bao never expected that instead of agreeing to the marriage with the Cao family, the Mi family also married his sister to the boy, which disrupted their steps. ”

Chen Deng's heart moved, and he finally understood what his father meant by the big things in his mouth, and continued: "Maybe it's not that Cao Bao can't think that the Mi family won't agree, it's just that he never wants to think so, after all, he is also very eager to get the support of the Xuzhou clan to sit on the position of Xuzhou pastor, so as long as there is a glimmer of hope." He'll gamble. ”

Liu Lan agreed: "What Yuanlong said is good, but when Cao Bao found out that things did not go down as expected, but instead offended the Mi family, and even offended the pottery merchants, his dream of being a pastor in Xuzhou turned into a cloud, so he now has only one way to go." That is to beg for mercy from the potters and seek seclusion. ”

"But why did Zhen Rong run away with the Danyang Army of the Headquarters again?" Chen Deng was puzzled.

Liu Lan looked at Chen Qi, who had been silent, and said: "In fact, from the beginning, this was a plan planned by Zhen Rong, as Mr. said, Zhen Rong is a treacherous person, so he will support Cao Bao to be a pastor in Xuzhou, if Zhen Rong bluntly said to Cao Bao that he wants to be a Xuzhou pastor, Cao Bao will not help him no matter what, so Zhen Rong will retreat to the second." On the surface, he promised to support Cao Bao to become the pastor of Xuzhou. But in Zhenrong's heart, Cao Bao is a reckless man, and he will be able to control him sooner or later, so he will support Cao Bao as a state pastor, after all, he has never regarded Cao Bao as an opponent!

But after the incident of Miss Mi's family, Zhen Rong found that Cao Bao had dispelled the idea of continuing to be the pastor of Xuzhou, and in order to protect himself, he even wagked his tail to Tao Qian and begged for mercy, maybe he also showed loyalty to Tao Qian. It is necessary to fully support the potters to be Xuzhou pastors, so that they can do so. Zhen Rong, who really wanted to be a pastor in Xuzhou, naturally would not agree, perhaps because of this, the two had a complete conflict, and after confronting Cao Bao with Tao Qian's support, he was defeated, and Zhen Rong ran away with his soldiers and horses in desperation.

Chen Qi smiled: "Although Deran's expectations are good, one thing is not correct. That's why Zhen Rong runs. ”

He stroked his short beard and analyzed: "Tao Qian has always known that Danyang Jun has two voices, which he is willing to see, because this is a trick of power. ”

Liu Lan nodded in agreement, only to hear Chen Qi continue: "But if he wants the potter to inherit his position, then he must first let there be only one voice in the Danyang army." And this voice must be for the potter. ”

As if he had been empowered, Liu Lan's heart suddenly brightened, and he said: "So in this case, Tao Qian wants to deal with Zhenrong, but he doesn't want to leak the secrets, but he is escaped by Zhenrong?" ”

From the very beginning, Chen Qi knew that Liu Lan was by no means an easy person, and at this time he really realized that Liu Lan could not only win the battlefield, but also be a good hand at means and strategy. ”

Liu Lan got up and said to Chen Jue: "Now that the Danyang Army is divided into two, Tao Gong has reached a dilemma, as long as there is a gentleman who speaks for the boy, Tao Gong will definitely agree." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Father, be careful." Chen Deng carried the wind lantern to illuminate it, and walked in the mansion with Chen Jue, carefully reminding him from time to time.

The remnant moon covered its face in shame, and on this autumn day, the melodious chirping of the autumn insects around seemed to carry a trace of grief and reluctance, for them, their lives were about to come to an end.

On a slightly sad night, the father and son stopped in a dark place, stared at the wing room in the distance, and heard Chen Deng say: "Has my father made up his mind?" ”

"It's not that I'm determined or not, it's the trend of the times." Chen Qi said lightly: "By the way, Liu Lan is resting in that room?" ”

Chen Deng responded: "Yes. ”

Suddenly found that a Maiden girl in the wing room walked out, looking at her face, it was the little girl who was accompanying in the council hall in the afternoon, looking at the girl in front of her, Chen Jue was surprised: "Who is this woman?" ”

"Father, this woman is the maid in the house, and I will ask her to sleep for Liu Lan tonight." Chen Deng said with a wry smile and said, "It seems that Liu Lan is not a womanizer. ”

"Humph!" Chen Qi snorted coldly: "It's just a vulgar fan, how can he Liu Lan look at it even if he is a womanizer." Then he said in a didactic tone: "When you do these small actions in the future, you will first say hello to your father." ”

"The child knows."

Chen Qi nodded and said, "Now it's him Liu Lan who needs to rely on my Chen family, so he doesn't have to be like the Mi family." After a pause, he said: "If you do things recklessly, it will arouse Liu Lan's suspicion." ”

"Now that his father has promised to help him, will he still be suspicious?" Chen Deng said puzzledly: "This is also our Chen family taking the initiative to lower their posture to show favor to him Liu Lan, after all, if Liu Lan takes charge of Xuzhou in the future, he still needs to rely on ......."

"Hmph."

Chen Qi snorted heavily, interrupted Chen Deng, and said, "This Liu Lan is very scheming, not as simple as you think. ”

Glancing at the already dim wing, he said, "Let's go back, there's nothing to see here." This Liu Lan is really unpredictable, the old man persuaded him to take charge of Xuzhou immediately, but he bluntly refused, what is this Liu Lan waiting for? Waiting for a better opportunity? Or did he already have a solid plan? Or did he really have such patience to survive Tao Qian? Chen Qi fell into deep thought...... (To be continued.) )
