Chapter 41, Yuan and Sun

"Father thinks that Cao Mengde can become a big thing?" At this time, Chen Deng also began to ask in a low voice.

The interests of the family are nothing more than short-term and long-term, and they attach more importance to Chen Deng's father and son, of course, the long-term interests of the family, that is, how long the Chen family can continue in the long river of history.

In each dynasty, there are their own interest groups intertwined, and the most prevalent in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is these families that have been gradually established since the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, and the entanglement of interests and relationship networks with each other enable them to support each other, unless they encounter unpredictable catastrophes, otherwise they can basically continue.

But after all, the family cannot be sustainable, just like the laws of nature flourish and decline, the development of every family must also have its highs and lows, they want to do the land, undoubtedly to prepare before the low tide comes, so that the family can survive safely, of course, the best, the worst must also leave the blood to continue.

Now the situation is different, Chen Deng needs to do more, the most important thing is a position problem, coveting Xuzhou, definitely not only Cao Cao, since they are in it, it is absolutely impossible to stay out of the matter, so there must be a choice, and the current situation is obvious, even Chen Deng can see that Tao Qian is not a suitable candidate, really have to weigh between human favor and family interests, of course he can only choose the latter.

However, Cao Cao's current situation is actually not very good, at least Chen Deng is not optimistic about him, for him, whether it is Yuan Shao in the north or Yuan Shu in the south, whether it is his background or his current strength, it is far more than Cao Cao, but his father's choice has always occupied an extremely important position in his heart, he believes in Chen Jue very much, so he will ask such a sentence, as long as Chen Jue can say a reasonable reason, he will not hesitate to carry it out.

Chen Qi's old eyes flashed, revealing the wisdom and sophistication he had accumulated over the years, and he said: "In the past, Xu Zi of Runan commented on this Cao Mengde Qingping's capable minister and traitor in troubled times, and Qiao Gong also praised him in his early years, so he naturally has his own merits. Looking at his Luoyang five-color stick, suppressing the Yellow Turban thief, the first emperor Feng Xiyuan Eighth Captain, and even assassinating Dong and the alliance to seek Dong ......, one by one, Yuan Long thinks, what kind of person is this Cao Mengde? ”

Chen Deng was silent, thinking about it this way, this Cao Cao is indeed not a mortal, yes, he did fail, but so what? Even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, has been defeated repeatedly, but he never gave up, defeated again and again, and finally was able to stand out from the princes of the late Qin Dynasty, especially the Chu and Han dynasties, and finally establish the great cause of the Han Dynasty, and these characteristics, Cao Cao seems to also have, depending on what he is doing now, it is obvious that he wants to make a comeback.

And after his father woke up so little, Chen Deng suddenly thought of another situation, that is, this Cao Cao is not like Tao Qian, a good old man, he even dared to engage in his uncle who was in full swing at that time, and now he has gathered a group of his own forces, and he will develop and grow in time as long as he can, are you still afraid that he will be a Chen family?

Carefully consider the forces that the Chen family can take refuge in now, Tao Qian took the lead in eliminating it, Cao Cao has already sent an olive branch, and the north, but this part is the most chaotic, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, and Gongsun Zan are not easy to get along, and now they are maintaining a delicate balance, and the Chen family had better not get involved, so it seems that Cao Cao is also a good choice.

At this time, I have to say that Chen Deng was also a little moved.

Of course, there is also a Yuan Shu nearby, but what is Yuan Shu doing now? Yuan Shu is not in the mood to pay attention to the problems of Xuzhou or the Chen family and Cao Cao now, although he has thought about Xuzhou, but he is not persistent, and his eyes at this time have been staring at the south, that is, since the beginning of Yangzhou, the place to him, such as Xuzhou, which is almost sandwiched between the north and the south, and the west is almost Dong Zhuo, and the north is Yuan Shao and Han Fu, who are fighting fiercely, is definitely not the place he wants, although he is arrogant, he is not stupid, and he will not do that kind of purely thankless and irrational thing, Besides, even if he had that ambition, he didn't have that appetite. …,

Yuan Shu was previously known as Nanyang Taishou, which was the former Changsha Taishou Sun Jian killed the original Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi and led troops to Yuan Shu, and then Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao reported it to him, and the soldiers and horses he led when he was discussing Dong were also recruited from here, in fact, there is no Liu Biao's boost behind this, no one can say.

However, after the defeat of the Dong coalition army, Yuan Shu had no way to return to Nanyang immediately, because the way had been blocked by Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops who were cruising in Yingchuan at that time, and finally had no choice but to move to Huainan, where he took root and gained a foothold, but also got a share of the pie here because of his background and the power he retained.

Later, he took the lead in the competition with Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and replaced him as the pastor of Yangzhou, but Dong Zhuo was rare to be a "good person" at this time, and he also issued an order to let him be the new Yangzhou assassin history, which can be regarded as Yuan Shu's recognition of the righteousness of the imperial court.

However, when Yuan Shu received the appointment of the envoy from the imperial court, he was very disdainful, and Yuan Shu smiled: "This Dong thief thinks that I have no bones like that Han Fu, don't you know that my fourth and third dukes' house, the lintel is high, how can he climb high?" ”

Han Fu had previously accepted Dong Zhuo's captive general in the name of the imperial court, plus the previous Jizhou Mu, and now he is worthy of his name locally and militarily, although this does not change anything in essence, he still has to face threats from Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan all the time.

Dong Zhuo's move naturally came from Li Ru's advice, except for Han Fu and Yuan Shu, all the other princes were also rewarded, but in fact they were just a false name, of course, there would be no actual benefits, this was more like Dong Zhuo was showing them his power, but some received and some did not, but although Yuan Shu said so, he still accepted it, in his mind, this kind of false name is not in vain, and accepting it does not mean that he has to listen to Dong Zhuo's words.

This is just an episode, and Yuan Shu's next target is naturally Zhou Xin, who is guarding Danyang as if he is incompatible, and Yuan Shu has won it in Wu County and Xindu Yuan Shu before, and Huainan has entered his pocket, but Zhou Xin, who has a close personal relationship with Chen Wen in Danyang, resisted stubbornly, which made him very uncomfortable, and he was determined to take it down, which was very torturous.

However, Yuan Shu wouldn't know that there was a young tiger eyeing him behind him!

Songzi County, Lujiang County, Yangzhou (now Songliuxi Township, ancient name Xiantian), after the Battle of Tiger Prison, Sun Ce and his party, who were forced by Lu Bu to flee in the wilderness and wolves, settled here at this time.

In that battle, Sun Ce and Lu Bu fought viciously repeatedly, and finally they were exhausted, and they were still injured at that time, and they were not light, so that although they escaped with their lives in the end, they finally recuperated for a long time, and they met a person who called himself Zhang Ji to come to the rescue, and now they have been saved, and they have not left too strict sequelae.

But obviously the biggest trauma left by Lu Bu to Sun Ce did not come from the body, but from the soul, even if the body of his father Sun Jian was brought back by him, the fact of his father's death could not be changed, and the power of the Sun family had been completely destroyed, and the original four generals were only Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.

But now, he still has to work hard for himself and his family to recover, fortunately he is not alone......
