Chapter 168 Xiao said that he sent Zang Ba very well, and skillfully told the situation to collect Kong Rong

The above book said that Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou and thought about the future.

Strategists Xu Shu and Chen Gong advised him, please train the soldiers and horses diligently, and wait for the time.

Liu Bei then summoned the generals to arrange the training of the soldiers.

Guan Yu went to Qingzhou, the governor of Qingzhou soldiers and horses, Zang Ba and Zhang Liao assisted, and Qingzhou soldiers and horses were more than 100,000.

Zhang Fei was the governor of Xuzhou, assisted by Gao Shun and Huang Zhong, and there were more than 150,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei is powerful, the soldiers and horses are fierce, and the princes are admired; Only Yuan Shao's forces can balance it.

The border is guarded by warlords: Tuoba Kun guards the Qingyou border, and Huaxiong guards the Xuyang border.

On the border of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, Song Xian was stationed at Liushan Pass and Mi Fang was stationed at Jinshan Pass.

At that time, the world's homeless people knew the land of Qingxu, and they also regarded the land of Qingxu as a happy land.

The people flocked to it, and it can be said that it was strong for a while.

Cao Cao lost two levels, so he had to consider himself unlucky, followed the advice of Guo Jia and Xun Yu, and recuperated in Yanzhou with peace of mind.

But there are many unstable people among the princes. For example, Sun Ce.

Since Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal for soldiers and horses in Yuan Shu, he got the four towns, and after a period of recuperation, and under the planning of Zhou Yu, he crossed east to Zhejiang, and the soldiers entered Huiji.

Huiji Taishou Wang Lang fought outside the city, was defeated, and surrendered.

Sun Ce then comprehended Ji Taishou and provoked the beginning of the competition between the princes for territory.

Since Liu Miao occupied Yuzhang and got Zuorong's help, he has been thinking about revenge.

It's a pity that he has only one fierce general Tai Shici under his command, but he is not as good as the famous general Zhou Yu under Sun Ce. Defeated by Sun Ce, Liu Miao was downcast, and he felt that he had no face to know Yuzhang, but he died of depression halfway.

Tai Shi Ci felt Sun Ce's kindness, and saw that Liu Xuan was dead, so he voted for Sun Ce, so that Sun Ce won a battle!

The following year, Cao Cao followed the advice of his strategist Guo Jia, made Xiahou Dun a general, and led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Chang'an, intending to recover the Guanzhong lands.

Fearing that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei would take the opportunity to send troops, Cao Cao persuaded Cheng Yu to persuade Gongsun Du to send troops to attack Liu Bei.

Gongsun received Cao Cao's heavy gift, so he sent 50,000 troops to invade Taishan County.

In Qingzhou City, Guan Yu is receiving Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was entrusted by Liu Bei, and accompanied by the partial generals Wang Lei and Cao Xing, to Guan Yu's mansion.

"Gongtai, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time, how is my eldest brother doing?" Guan Yu asked.

Chen Gong knew that Guan Gong had a deep brotherly relationship, and said with a smile: "The Lord knows that the general is hanging, and the special envoy palace came to condole." The general trained hard, and the lord gave him a cloak. As he spoke, he handed a package to Guan Gong.

Guan Gong opened it and saw that it was an emerald green brocade cloak.

Guan Gong likes to be green, and the robe he wears is also given by Liu Bei.

He happily picked up his cloak, with tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Big brother really cares about me." You may not know that the robe on my body was sewn by my eldest brother's own hands. ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "I have heard that the three of General and Lord Gong have a deep brotherly relationship, but they don't want to be so deep!" No wonder General Yide received a cloak from the lord to line the old robe! ”

"At that time, the eldest brother sewed three robes by hand, and one for each of the three of me. After a long time, after five years, no matter how high his status is, the eldest brother will personally sew the robe, cloak and Yide. Guan Yu said with emotion, "You can't serve in front of the eldest brother, and seeing the robe is like seeing the elder brother!" ”

At this time, Tan Ma came to report: "General Qiyu, Gongsun Du of Liaodong led his troops to cross the sea and invade the border." Donglai Taishou Gongsun Zhi responded, and raised troops to attack Langya. Langya guarded the battle report sent by Sun Kang. As he spoke, he handed a battle report to Guan Yu.

"The bold Gongsun Du didn't know whether he was alive or dead." Guan Yu was furious.

Chen Gong got up and comforted: "Why should you worry about the grandson? And look at what is written in the war report. ”

Guan Yu opened the battle report to watch.

Your Excellency General Qiyu Fenwei: Gongsun Du proclaimed himself the king of Liaodong, raised more than 50,000 troops, and took Donglai Taishou Gongsun Zhi as the internal response, and crossed the sea to invade our border. The soldiers and horses in a certain city are enough to resist the moon, and they have asked for help from neighboring counties. This is only a report.

The following signatures: Langya Shou, General Sun Kang.

After seeing it, Guan Yu suddenly laughed: "There are only 8,000 defenders in Sun Kang City, and he actually said that he would defend the city for more than a month. Good! is worthy of being my brother's former friend, so bold, and really heroic! ”

Zang Bayan, the general of the escort army, said: "General, the Taishou of Donglai and Muping counties are all members of the Gongsun family, one is Gongsun Zhi, the other is Gongsun Cai, and Gongsun Zhi rebels, then Gongsun Cai will definitely participate." Sun Kang guards Langxi, it is difficult to support alone, and he is willing to lead troops to save him! ”

Guan Yu laughed and said loudly: "Gongsun Xiao'er, you should be a pro-recruiter." ”

Chen Gong dissuaded: "This matter is by no means as simple as it seems. Does the general know what Cao Cao is doing today? ”

After a long period of turmoil, Guan Yu also became very sensitive, and hurriedly asked: "Cao thief, doesn't he want to use troops against my Qingzhou?" ”

"Definitely. The lord learned that Cao thief wanted to crusade against Chang'an Zhang Ji, but he was afraid that our army would take the opportunity to attack Yanzhou, so he made Gongsun Du cross the sea to attack Langyu with a lot of money! With only 50,000 soldiers and horses, why should the general personally recruit them? General Xuan Gao is enough! Chen Gong said with a smile, "The general doesn't move, and Cao Ren, the general of the Cao thief, doesn't dare to move; If the general goes to Langyu, Cao Ren will definitely commit Jinan! ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded slightly, squinted Danfeng's eyes, and muttered for a long time before he said: "What Mr. Gongtai said is very true. General Zang, a certain party is reckless, and he still looks at Haihan! ”

"The general's words are serious." Zang Ba, as Guan Yu's deputy general, saw Guan Yu say this, and hurriedly returned the salute.

However, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Guan Yu immediately arranged for Zang Ba: "Lang Yu form is urgent, General Zang, a certain Xu Ru has 40,000 elite soldiers, ten generals, rescue quickly!" ”

"No." Zang Ba agreed, received the general's order, and set off quickly.

Zang Ba led his troops away, and Chen Gong resigned to Guan Yu.

Guan Gongliu said: "Why is the public station in such a hurry, and the right to stay here." A certain self will explain it to his brother. ”

"The general's measures, the palace is really urgent. Cao thief spread Anxin widely, and actually sent an envoy to Beihai, wanting to say that Kong Beihai betrayed the lord. Chen Gong informed Guan Yu.

"How?" Hearing this, Guan Gong was furious and took the case, "Cao Thief is so hateful, he actually plotted in a certain territory!" So how does Kong Wenju say? ”

"Kong Wenju has always received the kindness of the lord, how can he easily face the enemy?! However, if Gongsun Du breaks Langyu, it will be difficult to say! Therefore, the Lord sent me to Beihai for a walk. Chen Gong then explained Liu Bei's intentions again, reassuring Guan Gong.

Chen Gong said goodbye to Guan Gong and led the servants straight to Beihai.

In Beihai City, Taishou Kong Rong Kong Wenju is suffering.

Cao Cao's envoy Chen Qun stared at him from the side, completely looking like Kong Rong would not leave without replying.

Wang Xiao, a strategist under Kong Rong, saw Chen Qungou's momentum, jumped out, and said loudly: "According to what you said, we and General Zuo Liu Xuande will tear their faces, and the prime minister will call the shots?!" A nonsense that a three-foot child won't believe is used to fool us! ”

"Prince Law, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the prime minister is not accused? Chen Qun is also a good debater, how can he be forced to be speechless by his words?

"Don't use the prime minister to oppress people. Today, the prime minister is afraid, only General Zuo! I just sent you to persuade my family to guard it. If my family is too stubborn to agree to what you ask, won't it make the world's scholars pierce the backbone? "It is also a strategist in front of Kong Rong's seat, known as Liu Chang, one of the two fierce arguments under Kong Rong, the word Kong Ci.

Before coming, Chen Qun had already prepared these two fierce debaters in front of Dou Kong Rong.

But he didn't expect that he had just explained his intentions, but he was refuted by these two people. If I hadn't been mentally prepared, I am afraid that I would have fled in the wilderness.

He said with a smile: "Mr. Kong Ci, do you think that there are many people in the world who are afraid of prime ministers? How much are you afraid of the left general? ”

Liu Changyan said: "The prime minister coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the people of the world are naturally afraid of the prime minister!" ”

Seeing that Liu Chang's words were weak, Chen Qun smiled and said: "You know that the prime minister is holding the Son of Heaven hostage, why do you still have General Zuo in your heart?" ”

"Might makes people fearful, but the hearts of the people are based on benevolence. Mr. Changwen, do you know that political affairs can be obtained from hegemony, or can you be obtained from benevolent government? Wang Zifa sneered.

"Political affairs tend to be hegemonic too!" Chen Qun shook his sleeves and said loudly, "The country has a law, and it acts with hegemony!" This is what Han Feizi said. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately provoked a group of Confucians to attack: "When you read the books of sages, you forgot that the Son of Heaven is virtuous and the world cares?" ”

Kong Rong was afraid of offending Cao Cao, so he asked Chen Qun to return to the post house to stop everyone's condemnation.

Wang Zifa and Liu Kongci angrily reprimanded Chen Qun, and felt Kong Rong's cowardice, and said hatefully: "Lord Jun, our county is located in Qingzhou, far away from Yanzhou. If he obeyed Cao Cao's arrangement, he would inevitably offend Liu Bei, the general of the left. Not to mention that General Zuo is kind to us, just in terms of terrain, it is also necessary to carry out the back from General Zuo! ”

Kong Rong couldn't make a decision, so he dispersed everyone.

For several days, Chen Qun went in and out of Kongrong's mansion every day.

However, Kong Rong avoided this matter, and it was all his words. Unable to get Kong Rong's reply, he was full of troubles, and he praised Haikou in front of Cao Cao, but there was no progress. Suddenly, when he heard that Gongsun Du of Liaodong had sent troops to Langyu County, he was even more anxious.

However, there was another incident that made him even more desperate.

It turned out that Chen Gong, Wang Lei and Cao Xing came to Beihai.

As soon as Chen Gong arrived, Kong Rong was even more embarrassed.

But he had to come to greet him, and he came to see Chen Gong with a sad face: "Kong Rong has seen the filial piety general, and he is late to greet him, and he hopes to forgive his sins!" ”

"Not too late, not too late. I heard that there are distinguished guests coming to Beihai, why not attract Beihai to see it? Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Huh?! This ......" Hearing Chen Gong say this, Kong Rong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Chen Gong laughed, and then took Wang Lei and Cao Xing straight into the mansion.

At this time, Wang Zifa and Liu Kongci behind Kong Rong didn't dare to speak, after all, they didn't know what Chen Gong meant!

Behind Kong Rong, they followed closely behind Chen Gong and the others.

Coming to the side hall, Chen Gong sat down and said to Kong Rong: "The lord knows that you will repay your kindness, and he will definitely not be moved by the Cao thief, but he is afraid that he will be harmed by the Cao thief, so I will lead the king and the two generals Cao to come." ”

Hearing Chen Gong say this, he understood: "Liu Bei's side is still a gentle policy, and he takes refuge with kindness!" ”

However, after thinking about it, he still took refuge in Liu Bei.

After thinking clearly, he said to Chen Gong: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent Sikong Chen Qun here. I don't know how to reply, I'm here today, and I'm in this situation!"

"Why don't you have a meeting?" Chen Gongyan said.

But I don't know what Kong Rongdang does? What will happen to Chen Qun when he sees Chen Gong? How far the story will go, please continue to watch.
