Chapter 224: Lobbying
Xiapi, Chen's house.
After waiting in the living room for a long time, Man Pet saw Chen Qi walking in quickly, and behind Chen Jue, there was a white-faced and heroic young man.
As soon as Chen Qi entered the door, he said: "I said why the magpie kept calling this morning, but it turned out that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door, Berning, don't come unharmed?" ”
Man Chong also quickly knelt down from the seat and said, "Meet Han Yugong." ”
"Well, Berning, you don't have to be so formal." Chen Jue waved his hand, then pointed to the young man behind him and said, "Boning, this is the dog Chen Deng, the word Yuanlong." ”
Chen Deng hurriedly took the junior to pay a visit to the full favor: "Junior Chen Deng, meet Boning Gong." ”
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Man Pet hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "You and I can talk about each other as equals." ”
After the cold noise, the three of them sat down, and without waiting for Man Zhong to speak, Chen Qi preemptively said: "Boning, I already know your intentions, rest assured, my father and son will do their best to help Cao Gong succeed." ”
Since Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, all kinds of perverse actions, greatly touched the interests of the wealthy family in Xuzhou, Chen, as a prominent wealthy family in Xuzhou, naturally suffered from it, so he had already fallen to Cao Cao secretly, this time he came with full favor, Chen Qi also said that Cao Cao was finally going to do something to Lu Bu.
Man Zhong waved his hand and said, "Han Yugong misunderstood, but he didn't come here to crusade against Lu Bu. ”
"Not for the sake of crusading against Lu Bu?" Chen Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with disappointment, "However, I don't know what Berning is here for?" ”
"Intercept and kill Yuan No." Man Zhong immediately told the Chen father and son about his intentions.
"Yuan no?" Chen Jue was dumbfounded and said, "That eldest son of Yuan Shu? ”
Chen Deng also said: "Is it the Yuan who deceived Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Sun Ce in Shouchunxing's death, defeated the Jiangdong army in Lujiang, and captured Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong?" ”
"That's the man." Man Pet nodded and said solemnly.
Chen Jue was surprised and said: "This Yuan has already led his troops into Runan and forced Cao Gong to this job?" I originally thought that the battle of Lujiang was nothing more than a rumor, but now it seems that it is indeed true. ”
"The battle of Lujiang was by no means a rumor, and the Jiangdong Army was indeed defeated by Yuan No." Full pet said.
Chen Deng said: "In this way, we really can't let Ren Yuan go north, otherwise, Yuan Shao will have Yuan Shao's help, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?" At that time, Cao Gong was in danger. ”
Man Zhong said: "Therefore, I have to trouble Han Yugong and Yuan Long to come forward and persuade Lu Bu to send troops to intercept and kill Yuan No." ”
After a pause, Man Chong said: "Now that the main force of our army is gathered in Runan, Peiguo is empty, and the garrisons of the counties along the way are completely powerless to stop the Yuan army, so the Yuan army will inevitably relax its vigilance, if the Xiliang army suddenly enters Peiguo at this time, the Yuan army will inevitably be defeated because of lack of defense, and it will be easy to capture and kill Yuan No." ”
Chen Qi said: "It is easy to persuade Lu Bu to send troops, however, if the Xiliang army enters the territory of Peiguo, the entire territory of Peiguo will inevitably be ruined, and Cao Gong will not mind?" ”
Man Zhong said: "The lesser of two evils, in order to get rid of Yuan No, my lord would rather give up Peiguo!" ”
"Okay, that's fine." After Chen Jue finished speaking, he said to Chen Deng, "Yuanlong, you accompany Boning at home, and for your father, you will go to Lu Mansion, meet Lu Bu, and agree on the dispatch of troops." ”
Chen Deng knelt down and sat up and said: "Father, Lu Bu is just a martial artist, it is easy to say, but Chen Gong is a celebrity, and his population is excellent. ”
Man Chong also got up and echoed: "Yuan Long's words are very true, but Chen Gong is not to be underestimated. ”
Chen Jue said, "It's okay, then you can go with your father." ”
At that moment, Chen Jue confessed his guilt to Man Chong, and went straight to Lu Bu's mansion with Chen Deng.
When Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son came to visit, Lu Bu was drinking in the back garden, and Diao Chan led a group of maiko to dance to Lu Bu in the water pavilion.
On the one hand, Lu Bu is an invincible and peerless general in the world, but on the other hand, he is a person with a great sense of life.
It is precisely because Lu Bu is too emotional about life and has too many pursuits in life, so when Dong Zhuo took the red rabbit horse as a greeting gift and stretched out an olive branch to him, Lu Bu had no way to refuse, and in the same way, when Wang Yun used Diao Chan as a bait to separate the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, Lu Bu also knelt without suspense.
Lu Bu was in the middle of drinking, and Chen Gong suddenly entered the water pavilion.
To put it bluntly, Lu Bu can have today, half of it is due to Chen Gong, if it weren't for Chen Gong to give advice to Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu is brave in the world, it is impossible for him to enter Xuzhou, for this, Lu Bu is also well aware, so he usually respects Chen Gong very much, and even gave Chen Gong the right to enter the mansion without passing through.
Seeing Chen Gong come in, Lu Bu raised the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Mr. Gongtai came just in time to drink with me." ”
Chen Gong frowned when he heard this, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Feng Xian, when has it been, are you still in the mood to drink?" Is. ”
Chen Gong's words were very polite, but Lu Bu was not angry.
Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "No matter how big the matter is, the most important thing now is to drink, and when we finish drinking, we will talk about business, Mr. Gongtai, come on, come on, sit down and drink a bottle with me." ”
Lu Bu said as he motioned Diao Chan to pour wine for Chen Gong in person.
Chen Gong couldn't resist Lu Bu, and he couldn't let Lu Bu be too faceless, so he sat down patiently at the moment, and took the wine bottle from Diao Chan's hand, but he didn't drink it, Chen Gong said first: "Fengxian, I can drink wine, but I have to talk about business." ”
Lu Bu nodded happily and said, "Okay, then let's talk about business and drink at the same time, but it's also a good thing." ”
Chen Gong then drank the wine in the bottle with his sleeve covered, praised the good wine, and then said: "Feng Xian, our Xizuo lurking in Xuchang has just sent back the news, saying that Cao Cao's 150,000 army has been trapped in Runan, and now in the hinterland of Yanzhou, except for Xuchang, there are 3,000 garrisons, and there is no other soldier, this is a God-given opportunity, a God-given opportunity!" ”
"Opportunity?" Lu Bu's expression became serious, and he frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Gongtai mean, is it for me to lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack Xuchang and meet the Son of Heaven?" ”
"Exactly!" Chen Gong said, "Feng Xian, if you want to achieve hegemony, you must control the Son of Heaven!" ”
After a pause, Chen Gong said again: "Feng Xian, from Xuzhou to Xuchang Pingchuan, there is no danger to defend, you can lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to kill the city of Xuchang within five days, Cao's army is trapped in Runan, there is no time to return to the division, from this, you will definitely be able to capture Xuchang in a battle, and usher in the Son of Heaven to Xiapi, in this way, the hegemony can be achieved!" ”
As soon as Chen Gong's words fell, a personal soldier suddenly came to report: "Lord, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son ask to see you." ”
"Chen Qi Chen Deng?" Chen Gong frowned when he heard this, and said to Lu Bu again, "Feng Xian, I always feel that the Chen family and his son are not sincere to you, so it's better for you not to see each other." ”
Chen Gong didn't mean anything else when he said this, it was a piece of sincerity, because Chen Gong and Chen Deng could deceive Lu Bu with those small actions done in private, but they couldn't deceive Chen Gong.
But Lu Bu was really a little unhappy when he heard it.
Because of the meaning of Chen Gong's words, it seems to have some sense of discipline.
Do you really think of me as a child? Who will you see and what customers you will take care of?
At that moment, Lu Bu frowned and asked Chen Gong: "Then according to your meaning, drive Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son away, and they won't be seen?" ”
Chen Gong realized that he had lost his words, and immediately got up to apologize and said, "Fengxian, I don't mean anything else, it's just ......."
Lu Bu couldn't help but interrupt Chen Gong and said: "If you don't mean anything else, that's the best, Mr. Gongtai, do you know, Chen Qi Chen Deng and his son have always said good things for you in front of me, saying that you are a national soldier today, let me respect you more and rely on you, so what about you, sir, you should also show the bearing and mind of a national soldier, what I said is right." ”
"I'm ashamed." Chen Gong covered his face with his sleeves and said, "How dare you call yourself a countryman below." ”
Lu Bu snorted lightly and ordered his own soldiers: "Go, quickly invite the Chen family and his son to come in." ”
The soldiers agreed and took the order, and after a while, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son entered the water pavilion together.
The father and son first paid a big salute to Lu Bu, and then saluted Chen Gong, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, Lu Bu let the father and son sit down, and ordered the servant to add wine bottles.
