The day of Cao Shuo and Chen Gong meeting soon came.

On a small hill between Xue County and Xiaopei, Chen Gong set up wine and food, waiting for Cao Shuo to come.

From early morning to noon, Cao Shuo was still missing, and Chen Gong was a little anxious.

He asked the guards on the side, "Has the Tanma returned, and has Cao Zi melted out of the city?" ”

"Tanma returns, Cao Zirong hasn't left the city yet." The guard replied.

Chen Gong frowned.

Zhang Liao, who came here with him, asked, "Gong Chen, will Cao Zirong not dare to come?" ”

"He's coming!" Chen Gong said: "Cao Zirong has always been public, and people like him will never give us a chance to speak up." ”

"But ......," Zhang Liao wanted to say more.

Chen Gong interrupted him: "Cao Zirong didn't come, he must have wanted to give me a dismount, let me know that he didn't take anyone in his eyes except General Lu." ”

"Cao Zirong is flamboyant, he must be taught a good lesson today!" Zhang Liao said angrily.

"Let him be flamboyant." Chen Gong said: "Anyway, it won't be publicized for too long. ”

At this time in Xue County, Cao Shuo had just left the city with Chen Dao, Zhu Ao and more than a dozen guards.

"Ready to prepare?" Cao Shuo asked Chen Dao.

"Don't worry, Childe, I've been ready for a long time." Chen Zhi said: "I didn't expect Chen Gong to ambush so many sword and axe men. ”

"How many?" Cao Shuo asked.

"One hundred and twenty-seven." Chen Zhi said: "But he was touched by our soldiers, if he dared to drop the cup, our soldiers could rush up and cut him down." ”

"Don't, don't cut him." Cao Shuo said: "Chen Gong is still useful. ”

"What good can he do?" Chen Zhi said: "So calculating the son, is it possible that the son still wants to keep him?" ”

"Of course you have to stay." Cao Shuo said: "Chen Gong is under Lu Bu, and it seems that he can make all decisions for Lu Bu, but Lu Bu refuses to let go of power at all. When he drops the cup and has no axe hand to come forward, he will be embarrassed, and I will taunt him again. For someone as arrogant as him, the deployment behind him will definitely be completely chaotic. ”

"Did Childe figure out what he was going to do next?" Chen Zhi asked.

"It's not that I calculated it, but Shi Yuan expects that he won't be able to kill me, and he will send troops to Fan County." Cao Shuo said: "As long as Fan County is captured, Xue County will be an isolated city, and our army will withdraw sooner or later." ”

"We have been stationed in Xuzhou for the past few days, and Cao Gong has not sent any signs of troops." Chen Zhi said: "I really don't know when Cao Gong plans to fight this battle." ”

"We have plenty of time to start a war with Lu Bu." Cao Shuo said: "What my father needs to do most urgently now is just to find an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou first. As for the army conquest, we have to wait until the affairs of Xu Du are completed. ”

"Childe is talking about ......"

"The festival of the first emperor." Cao Shuo said: "The teacher must be famous, and the best name is, of course, in the name of the Han family." ”

"That's what Childe said." Chen said: "I just think that if the war is fought for too long, it may bring bad results. ”

"Wait." Cao Shuo said: "Hedong Zhang Yang has not sent troops yet, he and Lu Bu have always been good friends, if our army commander drives straight in, Zhang Yang will definitely send troops to help." ”

"Justice!" Cao Shuo shouted to the back.

Zhu Ao, who followed behind, stepped forward.

Cao Shuo said: "You will go to Hedong in a few days." ”

"What do you command?" Zhu Ao asked.

"I'll tell you all the details before you go." Cao Shuo said.

Zhu Ao answered, and didn't ask any more.

From Xue County to the hill where Chen Palace is located, if you hurry up, it will only take two hours.

Cao Shuo didn't go fast.

He set out from noon until sunset and came to the bottom of the hillside.

On the hill, when he learned that Cao Shuo was coming, Chen Gong greeted him down the mountain.

The two met on the hillside, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao bowed their hands, and Chen Gong said: "I said that I would meet my son today, I came early in the morning, but I didn't expect to wait for a day." ”

"There are many affairs in the army, and I have to deal with everything." Cao Shuo returned the salute and said, "Please also invite Chen Gonghaihan!" ”

"What did Childe say?" Chen Gong smiled: "Don't say just wait for one day, I can be sure that the son will come, even if I wait for a month, I am willing." ”

"I knew that Chen Gong was so determined, so I led my troops to attack Pei County, and then sent someone to tell Chen Gong that I would definitely come." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Without Chen Gong here, and without the trapping camp, it shouldn't be difficult for Peixian to take it." ”

"Childe is invincible and invincible." Chen Gong smiled: "Even if I am here, Pei County can't hold it!" ”

Walking side by side with Chen Gong up the mountain, hearing him say this, Cao Shuo smiled and said: "Although Chen Gong is praising me, but I heard the murderous intention from the words, this time I went up the mountain, what was waiting for me would not be the Hongmen Banquet, right?" ”

Chen Gong laughed and said to Cao Shuo: "Gongzi said that he laughed, even if I set up a Hongmen banquet without Xiang Zhuang, no one would dance a sword for Gongzi." ”

Looking at Zhang Liao, Cao Shuo asked with a smile, "General Zhang, you won't be today's Xiang Zhuang, right?" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Childe said that he was joking, even if I am Xiang Zhuang, didn't Childe bring a Xiang Uncle?" ”

His gaze fell on Chen Zhi.

Cao Shuo smiled: "That's different, Uncle Xiang has to be from your side, Uncle Zhi is someone from my side, how can he be Uncle Xiang?" ”

"I haven't seen him for many days, and Childe is getting better and better at laughing." Chen Gong said to Cao Shuo: "Just rest assured, the wine I prepared on the mountain is good wine, and the banquet is a good banquet, and there is absolutely no intention of putting on a banquet." ”

"It's not that I'm suspicious." Cao Shuo said: "When I went out, Shi Yuan reminded me that Chen Gong was wise, and he might set up an ambush here, and when you and I didn't talk very well, he ordered the knife and axe hand to come forward and cut me ......down."

All the deployments were broken by Cao Shuo, but there was nothing unusual on Chen Gong's face.

He smiled slightly and asked, "Since Shiyuan has seen through my deployment, why is Gongzi still here?" ”

"Gotta come!" Cao Shuo said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "If I don't come, won't I be underestimated by Gong Chen?" In the future, it will be spread out, saying that I dare not come to see Chen Gong, how will I face the world in the future? ”

"That's what Childe said." Chen Gong smiled: "There is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Chen Gong, please speak." Cao Shuo said

"Where you come, you are safe." Chen Gong said with a smile: "Gongzi just brought such a few guards, if I want to plot secretly, I'm afraid it's too late to leave at this time." ”

When Chen Gong said this, Chen Zhi's face turned cold and he glared at him fiercely.

Being glared at by Chen Zhi, Chen Gong only felt a thrill all over his body, and a cold chill rose from the tail vertebrae and rushed straight to the heart of the top door.

After all, he is also a person who has seen the world, Chen Gongqiang calmed down and said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, it is not far from the top of the mountain, it is sunset at this time, watching the sunset and drinking, there is a special flavor." ”
