Chapter 238: He's Late
Cao Shuo and others stayed in Xiaopei for two days.
On the morning of the third day, news came from Xuzhou that Han Yin begged Lu Bu for help, but was captured by Lu Bu.
After getting the news, Chen Jue didn't dare to delay for a moment, and took Chen Deng to find Cao Shuo.
In the room, Cao Shuo was unhurriedly sipping tea.
Chen Qi said: "Son, Han Yin has been captured, please go to Xuzhou as soon as possible." ”
"Does Gong Chen want Brother Yuanlong to escort Han Yin to Xudu?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Now that Childe has seen it, I won't hide it anymore." Chen Qi said: "Yuanlong went to Xudu to discuss with Cao Gong to take Xuzhou. ”
"I remember saying it yesterday." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "This time I went to Xuzhou to see General Lu, I not only want Xuzhou, but also marry his daughter and accept him as a subordinate." ”
"Does Childe have any plans?" Chen Deng asked.
"Absolutely!" Cao Shuo said: "I will sell General Lu a favor first and settle the marriage." Brother Yuanlong went to Xudu this time, Xuzhou is already in the bag, as long as General Lu is stabilized, sooner or later it will not be the Cao family? ”
"That's what Childe said." Chen Jue asked, "I don't know what kind of favor Gongzi plans to sell him?" ”
"What is General Lu's favorite?" Cao Shuo asked.
Chen Qi and Chen Deng looked at each other speechlessly.
Cao Shuo said: "He once had no choice but to abandon his wife and daughter, but his love for his wife is deep-rooted. People like him have an almost perverted pursuit of power and strength. I'll give him whatever he likes! ”
"What do you mean by ......," Chen Deng asked.
"I have written a letter to my father." Cao Shuo took out a letter and handed it to Chen Deng: "Please ask him to meet Your Majesty and ask for the canonization of General Zuo for General Lu." ”
"General Zuo?" Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, and said to Cao Shuo: "In the Han army, except for the generals, the left and right generals are the most expensive, and the prince gave General Lu the title of General Zuo......"
"The Cao family fought in the south and north for the Han Dynasty, who is loyal and who is a traitor, of course, is clear." Cao Shuo said: "General Lu killed Dong Zhuo in his early years, and blocked Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an, and he also made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to give him a left general. ”
"Childe has this plan, I don't know if the Cao Guild will agree." Chen Qi said.
"My father will understand when he reads the letter." Cao Shuo smiled and stood up: "It's not early, Brother Yuanlong and I will go to Xuzhou to do things first, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”
Leaving Xiaopei, Cao Shuo only brought Chen Deng and Chen Wu and more than a dozen guards.
Riding a horse galloped, walked for half a day to reach Xuzhou.
As soon as he entered Xuzhou City, more than a dozen people came behind him.
At the head of the ride was a middle-aged scribe.
The scribe was less than forty years old, and when he entered the city, he was still anxious, and he galloped past Cao Shuo with his accompanying guards.
When he passed by, he turned his head to take a look, and when he saw Chen Deng, the scribe's face changed slightly, but he didn't stop.
"Childe, we're going to hurry!" Watching them disappear into the street, Chen Deng said to Cao Shuo: "It was Chen Gong who passed just now, and he must have received the news that General Lu had captured Han Yin, so he came here on purpose." ”
"He's trying to spoil me?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Chen Gong has never had a good impression of Cao Gong." Chen Deng said: "General Lu relies on him very much, and if he is convinced, the life of the son will be in danger. ”
"If I don't come, he can do whatever he wants." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "But I'm here, where is his stage here?" ”
Chen Deng blinked twice, not understanding what Cao Shuo meant by "stage".
Cao Shuo didn't explain either, and rode forward.
Don't talk about Cao Shuo, just talk about Chen Gong.
A few days ago, he was in Xuzhou to prepare grain and grass for the army, and when Cao Shuo came, he was not in the city.
Knowing that Han Yin had been robbed of Miss and came to Xuzhou to look for him but was captured by Lu Bu, Chen Gong knew that something was wrong and hurriedly rushed back.
When he arrived at Lu Bu's mansion, Chen Gong led people into quickly.
When the guards guarding the door saw that it was him, they did not dare to stop him, but bowed down with their fists and let him in.
Coming to the backyard, Chen Gong instructed the guards: "You wait here, I'll go see General Lu." ”
The guards responded, and watched Chen Gong enter the backyard with fists in their fists.
Lu Bu was talking with his wife in the house at this time, and when he learned that Chen Gong was coming, he said to his wife: "Gongtai should supervise grain outside, and when he comes back at this time, it must be for Han Yin." ”
"What is the General going to do?" Madame asked.
"Cao Zirong saved his wife, I owe him a personal favor." Lu Bu said: "What's more, Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor is indeed unpopular, if I marry him, I am likely to become a rebel minister who is condemned by the people of the world." Now that the Cao family is showing goodwill, of course, it is to choose the Cao family. ”
"I'm afraid of deadlock, and I'm not attentive." Mrs. said: "I was said a few words by the public platform, and then I followed him." ”
"Don't worry, madam, I have a plan." Lu Bu said: "You go to the inner hall to rest, and I'll see the public platform." ”
The lady got up and went back to the inner room.
Lu Bu instructed outside the door: "Please come in and speak." ”
The guards guarding the door pushed open the door, and Chen Gong entered the house.
"Why did Gongtai come back?" Lu Bu greeted Chen Gong with a smile on his face.
Since he first met Chen Gong, Lu Bu regarded him as a confidant, and after occupying Xuzhou, in addition to Lu Bu, Chen Gong was the most powerful.
Bowing to Lu Bu, Chen Gong asked, "I heard that the general captured Han Yin?" ”
"He was rude to me, and of course I captured him." Lu Bu said: "Gongtai won't come back because of this, right?" ”
"Yuan Shu sent Han Yin to ask for a kiss to make a good friend." Chen Gong said: "How can you capture him? ”
"Yuan Shu arrogated the emperor, and heaven and man abandoned him!" Lu Bu said: "Han Yin is his minion, I can't catch Yuan Shu, so I sent Han Yin to Xu Du first, which is also to show Your Majesty that Lu Bu is not a chaotic minister and thief!" ”
"Warm wait!" Chen Gong was anxious, and said to Lu Bu: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, does Wen Hou really think that the holy decrees are all from His Majesty's will?" ”
"Cao Cao did not claim the title of emperor, but Yuan Shu called the emperor!" Lu Bu got up and said to Chen Gong: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more about the public platform!" ”
"I had a relationship with Cao Cao in my early years." Chen Gong said: "He can do whatever it takes for himself, how can Wen Hou trust such a person?" ”
"If Cao Cao hadn't been unscrupulous, he would have died a long time ago." Lu Bu said: "I have already arranged this matter, and if the public station says more, it will not be interesting!" ”
The two of them were talking, and the guards outside the door reported: "General Qiyu, the second son of the Cao family asks to see!" ”
The second son of the Cao family?
Chen Gong was stunned!
No wonder Lu Bu changed his mind, Cao Cao even sent his son, and his desire to covet Xuzhou has been revealed.
It's a pity that Lu Bu can't understand it.
Chen Gong's brows were tightly locked, and Lu Bu had already spoken: "Please come in and see you!" ”
The door opened, and Cao Shuo entered the house.
As soon as he saw Lu Bu, he hugged his fists and bowed down and said, "The little son-in-law doesn't know that the general has a guest, or I'll come back later." ”
