Gongsun Chan hurriedly knelt down: "The minister Sun Chan takes the order!" ”

Chen Deng said: "Your Majesty has a decree, Gongsun Zhan has been, causing his sergeants to assassinate, which has caused a huge impact. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Chan was blindsided all of a sudden!

The other officials were happy in their hearts, secretly thinking to see what you should do, if you go, it may be a cage, if you don't go, it will be a protest against the order, and when the court gives an order, will you not be beaten into the abyss?

"General Gongsun, take the order." Chen Deng urged again.

Gongsun Zhan took the holy decree with a gloomy face and said: "Lord Chen, Your Majesty must have been deceived, although the assassin has the mark of a white horse and righteous servant, but this is obviously a frame-up by someone, Lord Chen, Mingjian." ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "General Gongsun, Your Majesty also suspects that someone has framed him, so he did not immediately arrest the general and go to Beijing for trial, but the twists and turns of this will still be explained to Your Majesty when the general goes to Xuzhou." This official has completed the task assigned by His Majesty on this trip, and he will leave. ”

After listening to Chen Deng's words, Gongsun Zhan's face finally softened, and the emperor still gave him face, which made Gongsun Zhan feel a little useful.

However, when he heard that Chen Deng was about to leave, Gongsun Zhan hurriedly said: "My lord walks slowly, my lord has come to Youzhou so far, how can I not fulfill the friendship of the landlord?" Ladies and gentlemen, you say yes, right? ”

Tian Chou said with a smile: "General Gongsun, Lord Chen is the minister of the humerus of the imperial court, and there are many opportunities for the day, so I should not be reluctant, right?" ”

Tian Chou thought in his heart that Gongsun Zhan wanted to keep Chen Deng as a hostage, so he said so.

Chen Deng said: "It doesn't matter, since General Gongsun is so enthusiastic, then this official has to give this face, and by the way, let's talk to you about how this Youzhou develops." ”

Gongsun Zhan was overjoyed and said: "Since the adults appreciate their faces, it is really an honor for the lower officials, come here, quickly put on the banquet, and wash the dust for Lord Chen." ”

Gongsun Chan looked like the master of Youzhou, and he spoke so domineeringly, and he didn't give Tian Chou, the trusted Youzhou assassin, face at all.

And in fact, after Zhang Yang's death, Gongsun Zhan took over the military of Youzhou City, and the entire city was firmly controlled by him.

After the banquet began, Gongsun Chan immediately raised a glass and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Chen is a pillar of the imperial court, and there are many places where we will rely on Lord Chen in the future. ”

"Lord Chen, please!" Everyone had no choice but to second.

Chen Deng said with a smile: "In this way, the official will be gracious, everyone, please!" ”

After a cup of belly, Gongsun Chan smiled and said: "Lord Chen, I heard that Your Majesty has personally conquered Jiangdong and Huainan twice, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "General Gongsun, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and has the style of a high ancestor. You are fortunate to have met the master, and you should work hard to serve the court! Youzhou is located in the northern Xinjiang, and there are many foreign invasions, so you should work together to ensure the tranquility of the northern Xinjiang, so as not to be distracted by Your Majesty. ”

Tian Chou continued: "What Lord Chen said is very true, we will receive the emperor's favor in the future, and we should guard the northern frontier for Your Majesty. General Gongsun, you said yes? ”

Gongsun Zhan smiled and said: "That's natural, a certain has made a grand wish since he was a child, to sweep the northern country and give the Han a peaceful northern frontier forever." Now I am glad to hear that Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, if you can be driven by Your Majesty, you must fulfill the contract and create a vast northern frontier for the Han Dynasty. Lord Chen, I don't know if Your Majesty has any other promises this time besides asking for guilt? ”

Hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, everyone was angry, Gongsun Chan is a blatant official.

But looking at everyone, Gongsun Chan was still smiling, he was not afraid at all, to put it bluntly, at this time, as long as he gave an order, he would rush in with a knife and axe and slaughter these people.

Chen Deng said with a smile: "The general has made many great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so he should naturally be rewarded by the imperial court, but if the general goes to Xuzhou, His Majesty will definitely reward him heavily." ”

Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "In this way, Your Majesty has to see someone?" ”

"Isn't the general afraid to go to Xuzhou?" Chen Deng asked rhetorically.

Gongsun Chan laughed and said, "Haha, what's not to dare?" A certain has been dealing with tigers and wolves for a long time, and has long put life and death out of the way, but many of his subordinates are looking forward to a certain horse, if they go to Xuzhou, I am afraid that no one will be able to suppress them, and when the time comes, won't it be difficult for the court to do it? Lord Chen, if you are not a subordinate official, you are really forced by the situation. ”

In the final analysis, Gongsun Chan still said what was in his heart, and he naturally would not go to Xuzhou.

Chen Deng said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay if the general doesn't go, then continue to guard Youzhou for the imperial court, if you can make meritorious contributions, the imperial court will naturally reward you." ”

Wine is good wine, there is no good feast, there is a staggered plan, but everyone has their own ghosts.

Gongsun Chan expressed his attitude, and the officials in Youzhou also began to stand in line spontaneously, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, whether he can save his life and glory and wealth, most people still think that Gongsun Chan is reliable.

After the dismissal, Chen Deng stayed, anyway, it was not early, so it was okay to stay for one more night.

Gongsun Zhan, who returned to his mansion, sat in his seat with a gloomy face, thought for a while, and immediately called a meeting of his subordinates.

After Gongsun Zhan told what he had seen and heard today, the general Yan Gang said: "General, the little emperor is really rude!" That Zhang Yang was originally incompetent, why did he steal a high position for many years? Now that he is dead, he should be the general of Youzhou Assassin, the little emperor made it clear that he didn't take the general in his eyes, so the imperial court, why should we be loyal to it? It's better to kill the messenger Chen Deng today, and then kill Tian Chou, and the general will establish himself as the assassin of Youzhou, wouldn't it be happy? ”

Yan Gang is Gongsun Zhan's confidant, he not only controls the white horse Yicong, but also Gongsun Zhan's brother-in-law.

Gongsun Chan glanced at Yan Gang, and his heart was also a little moved.

Changshi Guan Jing said: "The general must not be reckless! Now that Youzhou is in our hands, why bother to tell the truth? Those who are masters must have the ability to tolerate people, then Chen Deng and Tian Chou are just rotten Confucians, and the general doesn't need to pay attention to them. However, the imperial court's move has made its attitude clear, and the general should make up his mind as soon as possible to quickly establish our sphere of influence based on Youzhou, and if necessary, he can cooperate with the Xiongnu and Xianbei to defeat our great enemy Yuan Shao, and then enter the Central Plains, why worry about the big thing? ”

"Yes, now that the imperial court is suspicious of generals, we have no way to be an official of the Han court, so it is better to do our own." The general Shan Jing also said.

"General, let's do it ourselves!"

"Do it, General, don't hesitate!"

"As long as Yuan Shao and Gongsun Du are defeated, the general will be the king of the northern land, why be afraid of the little emperor?"

......

After some surging public discussion, Gongsun Chan slapped the table and said: "Well, since the court is responsible for me, then don't blame General Ben for ignoring the righteousness, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and others can be called emperors, is General Ben not as good as them?" Order: A month later, the troops will be sent to Liaodong and Gongsun Du will be destroyed first! ”

"Yes!"
