Xu Shu and Jia Xu were helpless when they heard this, so they had to agree to Liu Qi's words, temporarily let Xu Shu take care of the military affairs of Jing County, and then according to Liu Qi's request, they transferred Hua Xin, who was in Yuzhang, over.

Liu Qi gave such instructions to Hua Xin, and ordered him to take a small boat, take several of Liu Qi's personal soldiers, and go to Guangling with Liu Qi, who was disguised as Hua Xin's entourage.

However, it is said that after Hua Xin accepted Liu Qi's order, he took several people to cross the river by boat, and then went from Jiangbei to Jiangdu Port in Guangling County.

"Who?" Because Hua Xin and others entered the Jiangdu overnight, they were naturally interrogated by the Guangling Jiangjiang patrol soldiers.

However, Hua Xin was a celebrity after all, so he didn't panic, but said with a faint smile: "It's not a secret, it's Gao Tang Huaziyu, and I came here mainly to visit Chen Yuanlong, the Taishou of Guangling, and asked the general to report." ”

"You wait." The leader of the patrol sergeants placed them in the pavilion in Jiangdu, and then flew to Guangling to report to them.

"What? Huazi fish? Hua Xin? Didn't he do Liu Qi's Yuzhang too shou? What are you doing here? Chen Deng's face was fair, his appearance was extremely handsome, and when he heard that it was Hua Xin who came to visit, he couldn't help but shoot a light of wisdom in his eyes, and after thinking for a moment with his beard under his chin, he knew that it must be related to Liu Qi.

"A few days ago, I heard that my cousin's army has occupied the three counties of Liyang, Fuling, and Quanjiao, and the border has bordered my Guangling.

Chen Deng really deserved to be a wise man, and he guessed Liu Qi's purpose almost instantly, but in his heart, there was no resistance to this time, after all, as one of the two major families in Xuzhou, he naturally took the protection of the interests of the clan as the top, and it didn't matter who he followed, so as long as Liu Qi could offer enough conditions, it didn't matter if he was obedient to him.

What's more, Liu Qi and himself are blood relatives, once he takes refuge in him, it shouldn't weaken the rights and interests of his mother's family too much, right?

In addition, Chen Deng has always admired Hua Xin's virtue, and since this person is here to visit today, even if he can't talk about persuasion, he will definitely want to see him.

Therefore, there was almost no hesitation, Chen Deng ordered someone to escort Hua Xin from Jiangdu to Guangling, and specially instructed that this person should be polite and polite, and must not be neglected.

Within two hours, I saw the sergeant escorting Hua Xin and others to the outside of the Guangling Taishou Mansion.

"Lord Taishou, the person has been taken outside the house." The sergeant immediately came to report to Chen Deng.

"Ask him to come in." Chen Deng's face was neither sad nor joyful, and he commanded calmly.

"No." When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly walked out respectfully and invited Hua Xin into the hall of the mansion.

"In Xia Gao Tang Huaziyu, I have seen Chen Taishou." After all, Hua Xin is also a celebrity, and after seeing Chen Deng, he also looked very calm, calmly bowed, and then said.

"Hehe, I have long admired Huaziyu is a moral person, with high morality, such as jade, see you today, it is really a blessing for three lives, I don't know if Ziyu came to my Guangling today, what advice do you have?"

"I don't dare to advise, but I came here today to ask for the life of the people of the world, and I hope that Chen Taishou can follow the heart of heaven, respond to the people's feelings, inherit the will of the Son of Heaven, and revitalize my Han." Hua Xin smiled faintly and said slowly.

"Oh? I don't know what this means? Chen Deng asked knowingly, and glanced at Hua Xin, hoping to capture something useful from him.

Hua Xin smiled faintly, looked at Chen Deng's left and right personal soldiers, and was silent.

Chen Deng repelled the left and right people, and then looked at Hua Xin's left and right, the meaning was obvious, if Hua Xin wanted to retreat left and right.

But he didn't expect Hua Xin to act as if he hadn't seen it, and continued: "Xin Su heard that Chen Yuanlong is a famous man in Xuzhou, the people are happy to be attached to him, and the heroes of the world are waiting for him, hoping that Yuanlong can assist the Son of Heaven, Jing Qingyu, sweep away the turbidity, report to Jun En, and go down to An Lishu, how to stoop to the thief today?" ”

"Hehe, I don't understand what Ziyu means, which one does Ziyu say is a thief?" Chen Deng was not angry, and said unusually calmly.

"Which one else could there be? How could Yuan Long not know? For example, among today's thieves, the first one is Cao Cao and Cao Mengde. This person bullied the Son of Heaven, abused his authority in the court, excluded dissidents, indiscriminately killed the nobles of the court, and rode the general Dong Cheng, what crime did he commit? It's just that he was edicted to beg the thief, but he was killed, and the Cao thief killed the general of the Che Cavalry, and even Dong Guiren was executed, completely ignoring the crying and pleading of the Son of Heaven. Poor Dong Guiren has the dragon seed of the Son of Heaven, and he can't be forgiven, the old thief's move has caused the Son of Heaven to be extinct, and the sinister nature of his intentions is known to everyone in the world, and Duyuan Long turns a blind eye? ”

Hua Xin slowed down, and continued: "Before, Lu Bu was violent, which was not conducive to Xuzhou, Yuan Long advocated righteousness, and united with Cao Cao to break this bureaucracy, which is okay, but now Cao Cao is perverse, bullying the Son of Heaven, and killing ministers without permission, he is actually a powerful minister of Dong Zhuo and others, if Yuan Long follows this person again, I am afraid that historians will not let it go in the future." And my general, as a relative of the Han family, shouted with his arms folded, in order to report to the Son of Heaven and Xia An Lishu, he fought bloodily on the front line of the frontier, since two years ago, Anzhong came in a war, almost unwilling to eat, did not sleep at night, killed the country, forgot the selfishness, fought against the public, leveled Jingnan, descended to Yuzhang, according to Lujiang, Xia Lingyang, Zhenghuiji, Dingjingxiang, it can be said that it is a great achievement, and the heart is broken for the country and the people, so Shengde, who in the world can reach? ”

Chen Deng was silent, but with a thoughtful look on his face, his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Hua Xin.

Seeing Chen Deng's expression, Hua Xin said loudly: "Yuanlong, don't believe it, the world knows the affairs of my lord, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?" If it weren't for the fact that my lord was ambitious, courteous and virtuous, and thirsty for talent, how could I get the Quartet to take refuge in famous people? There are Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici, Wen Ping, Lu Meng and other generals, and there are Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Song Zhen, Yu Fu and others. On the other hand, Cao Cao, although it seems that the prince of heaven is now in order to order the princes, and he is fierce for a while, but Yuan Benchu and Liu Xuande are all allied with my lord, how can Cao thief resist? ”

At this time, Dan saw Chen Deng said slowly: "I have heard about the things of your father-in-law in the past two years, and I know that what you said is the truth, but I really don't understand, why did my cousin, who has always been cowardly, grow to the point where he is today?" It is even more eye-catching than his uncle who rode Jingxiang alone. It is not impossible for you to go back and tell your lord that I should surrender to him, but what I want to know is, what benefits can he bring to my people? Also, now that my people are all in the Xiapi Kingdom, how can he guarantee that my people will not be angered by Cao Cao after I submit to him? ”

As soon as Chen Deng's words fell, he heard a voice beside Hua Xin: "I have heard for a long time that Chen Yuanlong is loyal to the Han family, regardless of personal interests, and the prosperity of his statement has spread all over the world, but I didn't expect it to be so cheesy." even ignored the right way in the world for the sake of a little private. ”

Chen Deng looked angrily in the direction where the voice came from, and said to Hua Xin: "Hua Ziyu, your subordinates are also being too rude, right?" When this official is discussing with you, how can anyone intervene? I guess you have a similar question in your mind, so I'll make it clear to you. That's right, I Chen Deng do have the desire to serve the country loyally, but now that the Han family is dead, whether it is Cao Cao coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or Liu Qi, these Han clan relatives respect the Son of Heaven, they are just a banner to expand their own power, if it is really the Son of Heaven calling, I Chen Deng will not hesitate to offer his loyalty, but since they are all for their own hegemony, how can I not want to seek some benefits for my people? ”

"Haha, it's really refreshing, I believe this is the real Chen Deng. After all, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, even if it is a celebrity, can not completely leave the word interest, just a choice of righteousness and profit, although Chen Yuanlong's words today are not the style of celebrities, but also a true gentleman, in the admiration, since you are sincere, I naturally do not hide it, cousin, younger brother Liu Qi to meet, just the conditions you mentioned, how about our interview? The younger brother promises to give you a satisfactory answer. ”

"What? You, you ......" Chen Deng suddenly jumped up, pointed at Liu Qi, and said with an incredulous face: "Who do you say you are?" ”

"Younger brother Liu Qi, the word Bo Jin, a native of Gaoping, Shanyang, his father's surname is Liu, a single name is a table character, his mother Chen Lihua, a native of Xiapi, is the daughter of the famous scholar Chen Xiang, the sister of Chen Qi, hehe, cousin, do you want the younger brother to explain further?" Liu Qi looked at Chen Deng in front of him and said with a faint smile.

"Is that really you? Liu Qi? Oh no, Bo Jin. Chen Deng looked at Liu Qi carefully, vaguely found out his childhood appearance from him, and couldn't help nodding and said: "That's right, it's indeed you, because you have a scar on your forehead, which I left back then." But your courage is really not small, you dare to come to my Guangling with such a swagger, aren't you afraid that you will have bad intentions for the brotherhood and hand you over to Cao Cao? ”

"Hehe, since the younger brother dares to come, then he is not afraid, in order to revive the Han family, even if there is a risk, the younger brother will not hesitate, cousin, don't be sarcastic, the younger brother is originally a relative of the Han family, so I really want to revive the Han family, I want my Han society to be stable, the people are stable, and there is no more war in the world.

When Chen Deng heard this, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "You naturally said this beautifully, now in the Han world, the most qualified to say this sentence are you and Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang is a mediocre talent, so, only you can talk like this, you are a member of the Han family, even if you become the emperor in the future, the establishment of the Han family is also the world, but I can't just rely on your words, I will be obedient to you without hesitation, and the benefits will naturally still be there." ”

Thinking of this, Chen Deng said solemnly: "The virtuous brother can have this open-mindedness, which is worthy of your reputation, but you also know that Prime Minister Cao Cheng also has favors to me, so you make it very difficult for my brother to do this, at least my brother must have enough reasons to explain to those civil and military affairs under my account." ”
