Chen Gong slowed down and then said: "In this way, the general will send two envoys to Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde respectively, and the general will personally write a secret letter to Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde, one to show the general's sincerity, and second, to show the general's determination to surrender, only in this way will the chances of success be greater!" ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu thought that this was also the truth, so he nodded and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then we will do this matter quickly according to what the public station said, and we can't delay any longer, maybe one day any of them will see that our power is small and unpleasant, so they will bully us, and if we don't do it well, it will be a headache, so it's better to do it early, so that the brothers will be scared day and night!" ”

Chen Gong said: "At this time, it is not trivial, the general can stagger the action of these two envoys, if they visit at the same time, if both sides agree to the general's opinion, then we will not fall into passivity again?" When the time comes, others will say that the general has stepped on two boats! ”

Lu Bu thought for a while and asked Chen Gong, "Then according to the meaning of the public platform, who should we send a messenger to visit first?" ”

Chen Gong didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "Of course it's Cao Mengde, because Sizhou is far away from Qingzhou than Jizhou, and for the general, it's safer there, not to mention Cao Mengde and Ma Shoucheng of Xiliang, because of the conflict over the merger of the state, it seems to be more secure for us to go to Sizhou!" ”

Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong's words, and nodded incessantly: "Okay, okay, let's go to visit Cao Mengde first, and I'll arrange the envoy!" ”

According to Chen Gong's intentions, Lu Bu sent a trustworthy envoy to Cao Cao, and ordered him to bring his own handwritten letter, and the content of the handwritten letter was drafted by Chen Gong, but it was only ghostwritten by Lu Bu, because when it came to playing with words, Lu Bu was of course inferior to Chen Gong.

After more than a month of hard work, Cao Cao finally won the state, and in terms of time, this point coincided with Liu Jing's capture of Jizhou.

Cao Cao sent Cao Chun to serve as the assassin of the state, and led the state and county guards to be in charge of the size of the affairs, and then returned to Sizhou with the army, and then Cao Cao was ready to set aside a period of time to rest and recuperate, so as to prepare for the grain harvest after the autumn, the army was more abundant, and then made plans to expand.

Soon after Cao Cao returned to Daosizhou City, he had just rested and received a letter from the messenger sent by Lu Bu, and personally met with the messenger, and the messenger completely conveyed Lu Bu's meaning to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is a steady person, and he also knows Lu Bu's personality, however, Cao Cao has heard that there is a capable person under Lu Bu's account, this person's surname is Chen Minggong Ziwentai, he is a scheming person, very powerful, so Cao Cao did not directly refuse Lu Bu's messenger, because he wanted to gather all the strategists to make suggestions and ideas for himself.

At this moment, there are only two strategists around Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Xun You, and Xun Yu was left to Cao Chun by Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu to assist Cao Chun, and to reorganize the officialdom of the state and rebuild it into an officialdom ecology that looks like Cao's family.

Therefore, that night, Cao Cao immediately summoned Cheng Yu and Xun You, and the three of them talked with candles and nights to discuss how to deal with Lu Bu.

In Cao Cao's study, Cao Cao, Xun You, and Cheng Yu sat together, Cao Cao explained the meaning of summoning them, and then asked: "Now the situation is like this, as for how to treat Lu Fengxian, this question is not a trivial matter, tell me your opinion!" ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xun You and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and then thought about each other.

Xun You thought for a while, then hugged his hands and said, "Lord, what do you think of Lu Fengxian?" ”

Cao Cao let out a 'hmm' and replied, "Lu Fengxian's person? Hehe, don't everyone know this? This person is famous for his rebellion, and his unkindness and injustice are famous, who in the world still doesn't know Lu Fengxian? Didn't people give him a nickname back? What is it called'Three Slaves'? ”

Xun You nodded, and said: "This is the problem, lord, you see, this Lu Fengxian's personality is here, for anyone, he is a big hidden danger, and no one can guarantee that he will not rebel against his new master like the rebel Ding Jianyang or Dong Zhongying."

The last thing a person can afford to lose is a person's integrity, if a person doesn't even talk about integrity, then what else will he say? Besides, he wants to take refuge in the lord, but the lord has not thought about it, what is the purpose of his refuge in the lord? What was his motive? ”

Cao Cao nodded faintly and muttered, "Purpose? Motivation? Hmph, that's a good question, I just don't know that this Lu Fengxian wants to take refuge in me, why is this? What is his purpose? What is there for him? ”

Cheng Yu interjected at this time, only to hear Cheng Yu say: "Lord, have you ever heard that there is a talented strategist under Lu Fengxian?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu and replied, "Are you talking about that Chen Gongtai?" I've seen this person, speaking of him, I have to start from a year ago, at that time, it was still in Luoyang, when Liu Xuande and I went to Luoyang to seek Lu Bu's help in order to guard Luoyang! ”

After Cheng Yu listened, he continued: "If the lord knows this person, then he should know how powerful this person is!" ”

Cao Cao smiled faintly and said cheerfully: "If Zhongde didn't mention this person, I would have forgotten it, this person is said to be a great talent, and I still know one thing, so I don't know any of you!" And this matter has something to do with Liu Xuande! ”

When Xun You heard Cao Cao say this, he felt strange in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "What does the lord mean by this?" Is there anything wrong with this? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Hehe, you don't know yet, this Chen Gongtai, but what about Liu Xuande's old acquaintance?" However, judging from the situation at the time, Liu Xuande still has a trace of affection for Chen Gongtai! Hehe, this song is gossip, or I only found out about it by secretly observing! ”

Cheng Yu said strangely: "If this is the case, that sentence shows that this Chen Gongtai and Liu Xuande also have some friendship, but why didn't this Chen Gongtai pull Lu Feng to go to Liu Xuande first?" Isn't Pingyuan County, where he is now, where Jizhou belongs?

Since Lu Fengxian is in Jizhou now, and Liu Xuande has just taken Jizhou, in this way, doesn't Lu Fengxian indirectly occupy Liu Xuande's territory? Then Chen Gongtai should let Lu Fengxian call Liu Xuande a vassal? But why did he go so far as to go and why he didn't go to meet his acquaintances? Could it be that this Chen Gongtai also has a deep friendship with the lord? ”
