Chapter 023: Chen Gong is in place
Chen Gong is the person Lu Bu must recruit in this life, which is related to a knot in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info anyone who can live and die with him, he must let them all live happily in this life, and they will not die tragically.
Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Zhang Yang, none of them are missing.
Chen Gong didn't know Lu Bu, so he didn't understand why Lu Bu treated him so trusting and polite, but a person who is good to you always makes you feel more comfortable than bad to you, right? Chen Gong is not a masochist, so he is a little grateful to Lu Bu in his heart.
It is true that the social and political status of scholars is higher than that of warriors, but it is not absolute. In the troubled times, the warriors with swords, guns, swords and halberds in their hands can kill the soldiers without any scruples, and the so-called social status and political status are not even a fart at this time.
Moreover, in a strict sense, Lu Bu was literate and hyphenated, and served as Ding Yuan's marching master, so he could not simply be classified among the warriors.
Chen Gong was in such a complicated mood that he accompanied Lu Bu for three days in Quyu, and then set off to return to Luoyang together.
When passing through Zhongmu, Lu Bu ordered the release of all the county officials who had been arrested.
Lu Bu, who was sitting on the back of a horse, had a murderous look on his face, and he neighed with his halberd, looking very scary. He said loudly to the officers: "The general knows that the culprit who secretly let Cao Mengde escape is Chen Gong, the lieutenant of Zhongmu County, and this matter has nothing to do with you, so today I will let you go." Chen Gong was willing to subdue to the law, and he would have escorted him back to Luoyang to be tortured, so after he returned, he should take care of his tongue and tongue, and don't talk nonsense, otherwise he will be killed! ”
Looking at Lu Bu, who was wielding a halberd and pretending to be fierce, Chen Gong's heart was a little moved. He originally thought that Lu Bu would kill these servants and exterminate them, or bring them back to Luoyang together and hand them over to Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu didn't want to kill people at all, but let these people go after scaring them.
These errand servants were implicated because of his Chen Gong's claims, and now that Lu Bu let them go, it is tantamount to taking the risk on himself, and also fulfilling Chen Gong's reputation, how can Chen Gong not feel moved?
Three days later, Lu Bu took Chen Gong into Luoyang City.
"Brother Gongtai, do you dare to go with a certain person to meet Mrs. Dong?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong with a smile.
Chen Gong was not afraid, nodded and said, "I want to do what I want!" ”
"Say it in advance, when you enter the Taiwei Mansion, just listen to me on the public stage, don't interject!" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with a serious face, not like he was joking.
"Okay, don't say much." Chen Gong agreed to come down.
Lu Bu took Chen Gong to meet Dong Zhuo, and after a search at the door, he was allowed to enter the hall soon after.
Lu Bu took a step forward, bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted Dong Zhuo on the seat. "I also ask the lord to forgive the sin, Bu chased Cao Cao all the way east, but he didn't see his trace, and he returned in vain."
Dong Zhuo frowned and said to himself: "This Cao Mengde is really slippery and tight, Feng Xian is known as a flying general, and he has not been able to capture him back." ”
Lu Bu continued: "My lord, in the humble opinion of his subordinates, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu are the same, they are both tongue-in-cheeks, and it is difficult to achieve great things, so there is nothing to worry about. At present, it is imperative to send additional reinforcements to General Niu to exterminate the Baibo bandit army as soon as possible and ensure the safety of the grain route from Chang'an to Luoyang. ”
"Well, there is a reason for this. Where do the white-faced and beardless people who stand around you come from? I don't think I've seen it before? Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Gong.
"Lord Qiqi, this person is Chen Gongtai, originally the lieutenant of Zhongmu County, he is a chivalrous man, he is very temperamental to his subordinates, and he was forcibly taken back by his subordinates, if the lord does not object, I want him to be the master book in front of my account and do things for me!"
"Haha...... Feng is the first thing, and he is really straightforward! To treat these scholars, you have to be strong, otherwise they are all like Cao Mengde, don't give face. Dong Zhuo sighed with emotion, lost interest in Chen Gong, and obviously agreed to Lu Bu's request.
Chen Gong didn't say a word. Originally, he still wanted to scold Dong Zhuo, take over all the things that let Cao Cao go, and then lead his neck to kill generously. Now, he doesn't have to die, he has become the master of Lu Bu's captivity......
Out of the Taiwei Mansion, Chen Gong asked Lu Bu in a low voice: "How did Feng Xian know that Dong Zhuo would not pursue your mistake of not catching Cao Cao?" How did you know he would agree to let you use me as your master? ”
Lu Bu smiled indifferently and said, "Actually, if you understand Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid no one understands it better than me. Although Dong Zhuo is tyrannical and tyrannical, he is not an indiscriminate person, he actually respects the scholars, but the scholars always look down on him and always oppose him, so it has caused a lot of misunderstandings. For example, this time, Dong Zhuo wanted Cao Cao to join Niu Fu's army, if Cao Cao cooperated and helped Niu Fu come up with some strategies to pacify the Baibo rebellion, Dong Zhuo would definitely not treat him badly, and it would be a good thing for the country and the people. It's a pity that Cao Cao chose confrontation and refuted Dong Zhuo's cheeks, so he was hunted down by Dong Zhuo for revenge. ”
The two whispered and returned to the camp near the Valley Gate.
Lu Bu didn't mention the appointment of Chen Gong as the master again, and Chen Gong didn't ask if what Lu Bu said in front of Dong Zhuo was true, so Chen Gong stayed by Lu Bu's side.
are all people who understand, Lu Bu actually took a lot of risks in order to save Chen Gong. To put it bluntly, Chen Gong's life is already Lu Bu's. Is it possible that Lu Bu should set up an incense case, gather the whole army, and engage in a grand ceremony to worship the master?
That night, Lu Bu set up a banquet in the account, inviting the left and right servants to shoot Yang Ding and Xu Rong, the left and right Majesty Hou Cheng and Xue Lan, and several captains who commanded the army, to catch the wind for Chen Gong. Chen Gong was born as a county lieutenant and was no stranger to the army, so he could talk to these generals, and the atmosphere of the whole reception banquet was not boring.
After several setbacks, Lu Bu finally assembled the starting team, and he was more confident in what he was going to do next.
As Lu Bu's main book, Chen Gong naturally had to enter and exit Lu Bu's military tent from time to time, and Yang Ding was not surprised or surprised by this. He definitely couldn't have imagined that Chen Gong and Lu Bu were plotting how to do something earth-shattering.
Chen Gong agreed with Lu Zhi's idea to Lu Bu before leaving, and he also felt that Lu Bu should stay in Luoyang to deal with Dong Zhuo at this time. If it were someone else, Chen Gong might still be worried, but he saw Lu Bu's performance in front of Dong Zhuo with his own eyes, and dealing with Dong Zhuo would be of great use to a wise and brave person like Lu Bu.
Although Chen Gong's resourcefulness is not as swift as Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, he is also a first-class strategist with a long-term vision, and it is enough to help Lu Bu make plans to deal with Dong Zhuo. Although Li Ru beside Dong Zhuo is also very resourceful, he and Dong Zhuo can't add up like Lu Bu and Chen Gong to form an amplification effect.
Although Dong Zhuo is not the captain of the pig, he is not much stronger. The original Lu Bu was not much stronger than Dong Zhuo, but now he is at least the level of Captain Tiger, and with the assistance of Chen Gong, his power will naturally increase exponentially.
Lu Bu had already told Chen Gong all his strength, and Chen Gong was very excited about it. Originally, he was still thinking about how to let Lu Bu use the 5,000 men and horses under his command to deal with Dong Zhuo, but now there are 10,000 elites from Gao Shun temporarily, as well as 4,000 Shangdang foot soldiers on Zhang Yang's side, and Lu Bu's final available troops are almost 20,000.
5,000 and 20,000 people are not just a fourfold difference, but also a quantitative and qualitative difference.
