Chapter 9 Lu Bu is arrogant, Chen Gong is shrewd

Guo Jia asked Xiahou Lan about the situation of persuading Tian Jing, and when he heard that Tian Jing wanted to return to Youzhou, he also felt that the matter was a little tricky, and decided to hand it over to Cao Cao to decide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info However, he determined one thing from Xiahou Lan, that is, Tian Jing really helped Cao Cao deal with Lu Bu this time, so Tian Jing's plan was quite feasible.

On the second day, Cao Cao met with Tian Jing again, this time without mentioning how to go to Puyang, but made it clear that he meant to recruit Tian Jing.

After hearing this, Tian Jing said to Cao Cao, "There are Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others under the command of the Ming Gong, and there are Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Le Jin and others. Besides, his parents are still in Youzhou, and his subordinates are all inseparable from their homeland, so they must return to Youzhou no matter what. I also hope that Ming Gong will not be persuaded. ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard that Tian Jing was so resolute, he also decided not to persuade anymore, and turned the topic to how to implement the strategy, "General Tian's plan yesterday, Cao thinks it is indeed feasible. Guo Fengxiao must have drawn up a detailed method, and imitated Tao Qian's handwritten letter to Lu Bu, believing that the chance of deceiving Lu Bu is greater. In addition, Feng Xiao decided to find more than a dozen capable subordinates and pretend to be General Tian's subordinates to infiltrate Puyang together. General Tian led 600 cavalry into the city, and Lu Bu would definitely be on strict guard, so General Tian could choose the opportunity to leave Puyang after seeing Lu Bu, and these dozen people would wait for the opportunity to contact the big clans in the city, and then join forces with our army Mali to take Puyang together. ”

"That's great!" Tian Jing also felt that this was more thoughtful than he had thought about it at the beginning.

"Lu Bu is a cruel person, General Tian went to Puyang in person to get into danger, and his heart is uneasy, I don't know what General Tian wants, if he can do it, he should arrange it for General Tian." Cao Cao said.

"Thank you Ming Gong for your kindness, this time I helped Ming Gong, mainly to go to Chang'an by the way, there is really nothing to ask for." After thinking about it, if he had nothing to ask for, he was afraid that Cao Cao would doubt his motives, "But now I really think of one thing, if Ming Gong will unify the Central Plains in the future, and Jing Ruofu will be a prisoner under the order, I hope that Ming Gong can spare Tian Jing's life." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao paused for a moment, and then laughed, "If there is really such a day, I will wait for General Tian to be a guest of honor." Haha, haha. "Don't look at Cao Cao's only three counties at this time, in fact, what he thinks about is the entire Central Plains, and even the whole world. He loves to listen to Tian Jing's words.

Early in the morning of the third day, Guo Jia arranged to be a subordinate who should be mixed into Tian Jing's team, and gave Tian Jing a letter written in the name of Tao Qian. At the same time, the plan was adjusted a little, and Tian Jing first went south to detour to Jiyin County and then north to Puyang, East County. At the same time, calculate the time, let Xiahou Yuan's attack on Chen Liu's troops happen to meet Tian Jing's team when they go west, and let a partial division chase Tian Jing, so that Lu Bu of Puyang will have a greater chance when he sees Tian Jing.

Tian Jing agreed to Guo Jia's arrangement, and after resigning from Cao Cao and Guo Jia, he led the team south.

Three days later, Tian Jing's team finally arrived at Lihu, where they were pursued by Cao's cavalry. Tian Jing led the team to retreat to Lihu City, preparing to go to the city and say that he was an envoy of Xuzhou and asked Lu Bu's troops to respond.

Unexpectedly, it happened that Lu Bu was hunting outside Fox City that day, and he took twenty or thirty people to kill the Cao army, and the Cao army saw that he was invincible and quickly retreated. Lu Bu took the twenty or thirty people back to the army and headed in the direction of Fox City. When the horses passed through Tian Jing's team, the fierce murderous aura made these reserve white horse servants frightened.

As soon as Tian Jing saw that he was riding a red rabbit horse and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, he knew that it was Lu Bu. He stepped forward and prepared to greet Lu Bu. "Under the command of Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou, Tian Jing, the captain of the horse, came to worship ......" The word "see" has not yet been exported, only to see Lu Bu Fangtian's halberd waved towards him, Tian Jing was frightened, and hurriedly raised the bright silver gun to block, but the painting halberd and the bright silver gun touched, Tian Jing only felt a huge force coming from the waves. The tiger's mouth broke, and the bright silver spear fell, and the horse on the left was so hit by the force of the blow that it fell to its knees. But it was also because the horse knelt down and shared part of the strength, Tian Jing did not suffer serious internal injuries, but even so, Tian Jing was also shocked to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Qilin, Li Kang, Leping, and Zang Shun behind him saw that Tian Jing was injured, and they were about to step forward, but they were stopped by Tian Jing.

Lu Bu sat on his horse and looked at Tian Jing, "It's not bad, it's a hero if you can block my shot." Are you Tao Qian's messenger? If you can still move, speak as I do in the city; If not, I'm afraid that a person who can speak will enter the city. Stay outside the city and do not act rashly. "Say goodbye and leave.

"Lu Bu is too rude? If you don't enter this city, you can't enter it. Li Dang said.

Tian Jing was also very unhappy in his heart, and he clearly said that he was an envoy, and he had to make a move. If you can't stop it just now, you'll really die in vain. This Lu Bu is really arrogant, but his halberd technique is really unmatched, so it's no wonder that his father is injured. But Lu Bu, don't be crazy, sooner or later there will be a time when you will suffer. Tian Jing stood up and said to the people behind him, "It's okay." I took Xiaoliu into the city. Li Kang, Leping, and Zang Shun camped outside the city, and they should not be taken lightly. ”

"Second brother, are you still going?" Leping asked.

Tian Jing smiled, "If I don't go, how can I get back to the field I lost just now." Then take Lu Qilin into the city together.

In the Lihu County Commander's Mansion, Lu Bu sat on the main throne with a golden sword, and the four generals stood on both sides. Tian Jing entered the hall and said to Lu Bu, "Tian Jing, the commander of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, came to meet General Yanzhou Mu Lu Bu on the order of my lord. The lord of my family is willing to form an alliance with the general to break Cao Cao together. The existing letters are here, and I would like to ask the general to read them. ”

"You don't have to read the letter, the main bookkeeper Chen Gong is in Puyang, let him read it in the future. The day before yesterday, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and Tao Qian had no power to fight back, if it wasn't for Ben Hou to break through Yanzhou, he would have died for many days. Now I sent you to Yanzhou, saying that it was an alliance, because I was afraid that Cao Cao would attack Xuzhou again in the future. Ben Hou asked you, Tao Qian wants to form an alliance, but what sincerity is there? Lu Bu said.

As soon as Tian Jing heard it, he knew that this was Lu Bu asking for benefits, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to be greedy for money. But he didn't have any preparation at all, and his mind turned to his heart, "Back to Wenhou, my lord originally asked me to escort twenty carts of gold and silver artifacts to replenish Yanzhou's military resources, but when we detoured to the junction of Yanzhou and Yuzhou and went north to Dongjun, we met Xiahou Yuan on the road, and we couldn't resist it, and our property was robbed by Xiahou Yuan." ”

"What? Xiahou Yuan, I will kill you in the coming day, and then take back everything that belongs to me. Lu Bu was resentful and unwilling.

A person next to him said to Lu Bu, "Lord, we met Cao Jun just now, and we also felt strange. Could Cao Jun appear here to attack Chenliu? ”

"This? Wen Yuan's concerns also have some truth. It's not too late for me to go back to Puyang tomorrow and discuss with Chen Gong. I'm tired of hunting today, and I'm going to rest, but does the messenger have anything else to do? Lu Bu said, and then yawned.

Tian Jing looked at the person who was talking beside Lu Bu just now, it turned out that this person was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and secretly remembered it in his heart. Seeing Lu Bu's question, he quickly replied, "I don't know about the alliance proposed by my lord?" ”

"It's not too late to go to Puyang tomorrow to see Chen Gong and discuss it. Stand down, messenger. Lu Bu waved his hand, and Tian Jing withdrew from the hall. Someone arranged a place to stay in the post house for Tian Jing to rest. Tian Jing thought to himself, Lu Bu is arrogant and not good at strategy, but he has to ask Chen Gong about everything, and I am afraid that it will be difficult tomorrow.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Bu led Zhang Liao and others from Lihu back to Puyang. Tian Jing led his reserve white horse to accompany him.

When he arrived in Puyang City, Chen Gong welcomed Lu Bu back to the city outside the city gate, and at the same time received the news of the arrival of Tao Qian's envoy and arranged for a reception.

After Tian Jing greeted Chen Gong, he led his troops into the city, but he found that Chen Gong ordered someone to secretly count the number of people he brought, thinking that this person was careful. At night, I had to tell those people sent by Guo Jia not to act rashly.

When he arrived at the Yanzhou Assassin's Mansion, Lu Bu handed over all the reception of Tian Jing to Chen Gong to deal with, and he went to the back house to see his several wives. Chen Gong was witty and very cautious, and after taking the handwriting of Tao Qian handed over by Tian Jing, he carefully compared the handwriting of Tao Qian that he had obtained from other places before. Then he said to Tian Jing, "The alliance is such an important matter, why didn't Tao Gongzu use the Xuzhou seal letter instead of a private letter?" ”

Tian Jingxin said that this Chen Palace is really difficult to deal with, "Master Chen, I don't dare to deceive this matter, my lord was not sure at the beginning whether I could pass through Cao Cao's territory and reach Puyang, if once our envoy's team was captured by Cao Cao, and the letter was not destroyed in time, then using the Xuzhou seal letter will inevitably leave Cao Cao with the excuse to attack Xuzhou." If the private message is different, if it is really intercepted, it can not be recognized. This is the careful part of my father-in-law, and I hope that the master will forgive me. ”

Tian Jing's answer was not bad with Chen Gong's guess, Tao Qian was known to be timid, which was also in line with his character. Chen Gong asked Tian Jing in detail how he got out of Xuzhou, where he passed along the way, when he met Cao's army, how he fought, and how many casualties he had. Tian Jing answered them one by one. Xin said that this Chen Gong really has some interrogation skills, if it wasn't for his preparation, he would almost be exposed.

Chen Gong didn't see any problems from Tian Jing, and basically believed that Tian Jing was Tao Qian's envoy, so he said to Tian Jing, "When General Tian left Xuzhou, did Tao Gongzu explain how the two sides united and how to break through Cao's army?" ”

"This has never happened, but now that Liu Bei has swallowed Xiaopei, and General Cao Bao has annexed Pengcheng, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, Cao Cao's troops can be attacked at any time. I heard that Chen Gong appeared in a clever plan, if the Yanzhou army can hit Cao Cao hard, my Xuzhou army and horses should attack him from behind Cao Cao by surprise, and then General Lu Bu can get the entire territory of Yanzhou, and my lord will not suffer from being invaded by Cao thieves. Tian Jing said.

Chen Gongxin said that such a promise is tantamount to vain, and it is clear that he wants us to take advantage after defeating Cao Cao. But it is inconvenient to say such things now, and it is also a good thing to have one more ally, and it is also a good thing for the lord to gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou in the future.

"In this case, General Tian asked to go to the pavilion for a short rest. After the palace is clear and gentle, I will definitely return to the book with you as soon as possible. This evening, Wen Hou held a banquet in the mansion to entertain General Tian, and I hope that General Tian will appreciate it! ”

"It's so annoying." After Tian Jing finished speaking, he said goodbye and exited the hall. So he pushed out and thought about his thoughts, but accidentally bumped into a person. When I looked back, I found that it was a woman in red, who was wearing a tulle red dress, with a beautiful face and a smart look in her eyes.

Tian Jing hurriedly apologized, "Tian is rude, and I hope the girl is not strange." ”

The woman did not answer, but turned and left. Tian Jing looked at her back and was stunned for a moment, there was such a beautiful woman in the world. At this time, there was a light cough from Chen Gong behind him, "This person is the daughter of Wen Hou, called Lu Wen." ”

Tian Jing had a look of embarrassment on his face, "So Tian retired." ”
