Save my life?

Chen Gong had already stood up and was about to leave with his sleeves brushed up, but Yi Yuan's words made his body shake slightly, and he sat down again.

He glanced at Yi Yuan, his expression was still arrogant, and he snorted coldly: "Although our army has been defeated in successive battles, there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the fortified city of Puyang City, you want to break through Puyang with the little soldiers and horses in your hands, and you want my Chen Gong's life, but I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”

Yi Yuan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Who said that if you want Chen Gongtai's life, we need to do it." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Gong asked with a frown.

Yi raised his hand and pointed to the east, "Brother Gongtai is well-informed, I must have known that Cao Cao is leading the army straight to Puyang." ”

"So what." Chen Gong said disapprovingly.

Yi Yuan sneered: "Brother Gongtai can think about it, have you forgotten, who betrayed Cao Cao to lose Yanzhou?" ”

Chen Gong's body was shocked, and he was silent for a while.

Yi Ji continued: "If Gongtai can be surrendered, Lu Bu will be destroyed at the hands of my lord, and Gongtai will still be a meritorious minister, and my lord will be reused." If Lu Bu is destroyed by Cao Cao, Gongtai thinks about it, do you still have a life? ”

A chill flashed in Chen Gong's eyes, and it was obvious that fear had been born in his heart.

Yi Ji continued: "My lord knows that Lu Bu intends to stick to Puyang and sit back and watch my lord fight with Cao Cao, and he is a good fisherman, then I can tell Gongtai that he is wrong, so my lord will not follow his thoughts." ”

A layer of cold sweat had quietly soaked out of Chen Gong's back.

Yi's tone became more and more cold, and he sneered: "I can tell you clearly that if my lord can't capture Puyang and destroy Lu Bu before Cao Cao's army arrives, he will choose to withdraw the army to return to Chen Liu, leaving Cao Cao and Lu Bu, the two old enemies, to see how Cao Cao destroys Lu Bu for him." ”

"Therefore, in the end, the only one who can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight is my father-in-law, not him Lu Bu."

Chen Gong shuddered, and the fear in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

He knew very well that with Lu Bu's current strength, he was by no means Cao Cao's opponent who had recovered his vitality, and once the two families went to war, Puyang would be broken sooner or later, and Lu Bu would definitely be destroyed.

At that time, it was strange that Cao Cao didn't kill him to vent his anger.

After all, at the most critical moment of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, he betrayed Cao Cao and almost forced Cao Cao into a desperate situation.

"I've finished speaking, it's up to Brother Gongtai to decide which path to choose, whether it's a way of life or a dead end."

Yi picked up his glass and tasted the wine, but he was not in a hurry.

This time, it was Chen Gong's turn to be anxious.

He didn't say a word, swallowing glass after glass, and his two eyes rolled around, showing the thoughts that were tumbling in his heart.

"My lord just has a grudge against Lu Bu, as long as he can capture Yanzhou, no one else will be investigated, but Cao Cao, if he recaptures Yanzhou, not to mention Brother Gongtai, there are many Yanzhou scholars who betrayed Cao Cao with you, and they will die under Cao Cao's butcher's knife, Brother Gongtai, you don't think for yourself, you have to think about those friends in the same state who are in the same boat with you."

Yi Ji saw through Chen Gong's entanglement, and took advantage of the situation to build a fairly high-sounding ladder for Chen Gong.

Bang!

Chen Gong's wine glass was placed on the table, he took a deep breath, and said silently: "I can choose to surrender to the general." ”

Izu breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he wanted to speak, Chen Gong immediately added: "But I, Chen Gong, am not for myself to submit to the general, I have to do this for the sake of my people and the people of Yanzhou from Cao Cao's bloody revenge." ”

Naturally, he wanted to emphasize that his surrender was not out of fear of death, and he was stealing his life.

Yi Yuan smiled and said busily: "I understand, Brother Gongtai's difficulties, of course I understand, the general can naturally understand Brother Gongtai's difficulties, otherwise I wouldn't have said something like that." ”

Chen Gong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and his face was much better.

Yi Ji picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Chen Gong, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Gongtai has made a decision, then let's discuss now, how Brother Gongtai can help us break through Puyang quickly, after all, Cao Cao's army is very close to Puyang, and there is not much time left for us." ”

……

The next day, the Soviet army camped.

Su Zhe had just woken up, and the soldiers outside came to report, saying that he had returned from Iraq and was asking to see him outside.

"So fast, pass him in." Su Zhe suddenly fell asleep, and he didn't even have time to wash his face, so he happily walked out of the outer tent.

As soon as he sat down, Yi Ji walked in and was about to salute him.

"Don't be polite, let's talk about it, what is the result?" Su Zhe asked impatiently.

Yi Ji smiled and said: "As expected, that Chen Gong is really willing to surrender." ”

"Really?" Su Zhe's spirits perked.

"That can still be wrong, in order to convince Chen Gong, it took a lot of time for his subordinates to talk and talk."

At that moment, Yi Ji told Su Zhe how he met Chen Gong, how he understood it, analyzed the stakes, and told Su Zhe the truth.

Su Zhe smiled, and asked someone to immediately go to Pang Tong and Zhang Liao to come.

This article said that the strategy of lowering Chen Palace was exactly what Pang Tong offered.

Pang Tong analyzed and concluded that Chen Gong's fear of Cao Cao's revenge would definitely surpass his loyalty to Lu Bu, and in order to avoid falling into the hands of Cao Cao, he would definitely have to choose to submit to Su Zhe.

At that time, Su Zhe could use Chen Gong as an internal response, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and quickly break through Puyang.

Of course, as for how to be legal inside and outside, it depends on the negotiation between Yi and Chen Gong.

A moment later, Pang Tong and Zhang Liao came to the tent one after another.

Su Zhe told the two of them about Chen Gong's willingness to surrender.

"It seems that my plan has not been in vain, but it has worked." Pang Tongqiao had a smile on her face.

"Miss Pang doesn't have to be modest, your strategy has not played a small role, but a big one."

Su Zhe praised her, and looked at Yi again, "Uncle Ji, how does Chen Gong say that he plans to cooperate with the outside and help me break the city?" ”

Yi Yuan said: "Chen Gong said that he does not have many descendants in the city, and the men and horses that can be mobilized are less than eight hundred miles, so the lord must respond in time." ”

As he spoke, Yi Yi pointed in the direction of Puyang, and then said: "Chen Gong said that he will mobilize his 800 men and horses to rise up and seize the east gate at the third watch tomorrow night. ”

Pang Tong nodded slightly and said, "With Chen Gong's current strength, this is also the only feasible way for him. ”

"In this way, Miss Pang suggested that I use Chen Gong's strategy." Su Zhe asked.

Pang Tong pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This plan seems to be seamless, I can't think of any other loopholes, Tong Er thinks it is feasible." ”

Su Zhe's eyes looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Wen Yuan, why don't you speak, do you have a different opinion." ”

From the beginning to the present, Zhang Liao has always been silent, and he has not been particularly surprised by the surrender of Chen Gong.

Even, Zhang Liao's eyes revealed a little suspicion.

Hearing Su Zhe's question, Zhang Liao said: "Mr. Pang, oh no, it should be Miss Pang's plan is really wonderful, but I don't understand Chen Gong's decision to return to obedience so happily." ”

Pang Tong's expression moved.

Yi Zhi also looked strange, but he smiled disapprovingly: "Then Chen Gongtai is desperate and chooses to surrender to the lord, this is the only way for Mingzhe to protect his life, what is not easy to understand." ”

"Because I think that Chen Gong is not a person who protects himself at all."
