Chapter 283: Dialogue
This answer obviously made Guan Yu feel dissatisfied, but now is not the time to dwell on this matter, no matter what, now he can only choose to believe Du Chen, if he returns successfully, if he can't see his third brother, then he naturally has a reason to turn his face with Du Chen.
Seeing that Guan Yu was not asking, Du Chen showed a slight smile, in a short period of time, Yuan Shao categorically would not have the possibility of raising troops to attack, so once Guan Yu left, there was no possibility of coming back in a short time, and by that time, Zhang Fei had already instilled in him what he had instilled in him.
At that time, even if Guan Yu returns, Du Chen will be sure to control the situation, so Du Chen is absolutely at ease about this.
Saying goodbye to Guan Yu, Du Chen and Cao Cao left his mansion, Cao Cao frowned all the time, he looked at Du Chen, and then said in a deep voice: "Si Lang, you really want to let Guan Yu leave, he is a rare general!" ”
With Cao Cao's character, he naturally couldn't bear to give up any talented person, in this regard, Du Chen could only shake his head helplessly, he was very puzzled, since Cao Cao was so reluctant to give up Guan Yu, why did he let Guan Yu leave in history.
"Meng De, you also know Guan Yu's temperament, if you want him to be loyal to you, it is absolutely impossible, since this is the case, it is better to let Guan Yu go." Du Chen said in a deep voice, Guan Yu can only be used, not commonly used.
Cao Cao thought to himself for a while, he felt that Du Chen's words were all reasonable, he had been in contact with Guan Yu for so long, with Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei, he would naturally not betray Liu Bei and serve himself.
He loves talents, but he also knows that he is better than other generals of the Cao army towards Guan Yu, but this has not made Guan Yu change his mind, which is enough to prove that Guan Yu's heart is like a rock.
Cao Cao also knew. The possibility of letting Guan Yu take refuge in himself is very small, so in the end he can only nod secretly, Cao Cao is a hero, he knows that everything can be done and can not be done, since he knows that this is a battle with no chance of winning, how can he continue to waste time on this matter. Avoiding its edge is the first choice.
"Meng De, you also said that Guan Yu is a general, so it is definitely an excellent choice for him to guard White Horse City." Du Chen thought about it and said, White Horse City will definitely not be able to stand the Yuan army's soldiers, so White Horse City is definitely a fire pit, and he hopes that Cao Jun's generals will fall into the fire pit.
It is also helpless to let Zhicai monitor Guan Yu, but Zhicai is a strategist, if there is a war, he only needs to sit in the rear army, if there is danger. Du Chen would definitely arrange for Zhicai to leave safely, so he was not worried about it.
"The white horse is a fire pit, whoever goes will die, you are worried about the other generals of our army, so General Guan is stationed in the White Horse City, whether it has a miraculous effect or not, the white horse will cause Yuan Shao to suffer heavy losses." Cao Cao smiled, but thought about it. Guan Yu is indeed a good choice, even if it really folds Guan Yu. That is also a harmless thing for Cao Jun, after all, Guan Yu is not a general of Cao Jun.
"Chen only hopes that Zhicai will be fine, after all, he knows that White Horse City is in danger, but he is willing to come forward." Du Chen frowned and said, faintly feeling a trace of uneasiness in Du Chen's heart. Because recalling Zhicai's tone, there is quite a bit of a momentum of seeing death as home.
The construction of the city on a white horse can be described as a move of internal and external troubles, although Zhang Fei can make Guan Yu throw a mouse trap in Du Chen's hands, but he is an enemy general after all, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have some other careful thoughts.
And. Yuan Shao also knew the purpose of Cao's army to build the White Horse City, how could he allow such a nail to appear in his offensive, with the White Horse City, Yuan's army would attack and be blocked, after all, the White Horse is a very necessary position.
According to the current situation, although Yuan Jun did not dare to come blatantly, he would definitely do it secretly, and he would use thunderous means, and Zhicai's body was even weaker than his own, Du Chen was still afraid that he would have some accidents.
"Don't worry." Seeing Du Chen's slightly worried expression, Cao Cao hurriedly comforted: "Besides, the Cao Club will arrange a personal guard to protect Zhicai, and he will not have any accidents."
"Zhicai is your friend, but Cao is the master of Zhicai, and Cao is more worried about Zhicai's safety than you!" Cao Cao laughed.
Du Chen nodded, but there was still a little uneasiness lingering in his heart, he looked at Cao Cao, and then said: "Chen didn't doubt Meng De's ability, but Chen thought back to Zhicai's words, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. ”
Cao Cao also frowned, Du Chen's words also made him stunned, thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao also seemed to feel a little inappropriate, because Xi Zhicai's tone was not like receiving orders, but like last words.
Cao Cao frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that Zhicai is determined by death, there is no need to worry too much, with the wisdom of Zhicai, there will definitely be no danger, you can rest assured." ”
Du Chen nodded, at present, he can only think so, Zhicai's ability is not below him, this is also Du Chen's willingness to let Zhicai go to White Horse City with confidence.
Du Chen returned to the mansion, but the next person said that Zhicai had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, Du Chen was slightly stunned, he couldn't think of why Zhicai appeared here, recalling his suspicions just now, Du Chen's heart was even more uneasy, and he hurriedly walked towards the study.
In the study, Xi Zhicai was slowly drinking tea in Du Chen's study, and when he saw Du Chen walking in, Xi Zhicai put down the teacup in his hand and greeted Du Chen.
"Zhicai is a rare guest!" Seeing Xi Zhicai, Du Chen buried the worry on his face in his heart.
"Is Si Lang blaming Zhong?" Xi Zhicai saw Du Chen and said with a smile.
Staring at Xi Zhicai, Du Chen didn't see anything unusual on his face, but Du Chen could see that Xi Zhicai's figure was somewhat thinner, and his face was a little paler than before.
"Why is Zhicai's face so pale?" Du Chen couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, and then asked.
Hearing Du Chen's words, Xi Zhicai's expression froze slightly, but he quickly covered it up, and Xi Zhicai hurriedly shook his head: "It's not that day to drink, it's really unconscious, it's dark!" Especially Si Lang, that is called a ferocious, and we all admire it. ”
Xi Zhicai's words made Du Chen a little embarrassed, which also made him not notice the slight changes in Xi Zhicai's face, Du Chen smiled awkwardly: "Let Zhicai see and laugh, but Chen didn't have the slightest impression of what happened that day."
"If you don't mention this matter, I don't know what Zhicai is looking for." Du Chen shook his head, he didn't want to continue to dwell on the problem of being drunk that day, after all, he didn't have any impression of what happened that day.
Xi Zhicai looked at Du Chen, and then said in a deep voice: "Why, can't you come to Si Lang without Matter." ”
Du Chen smiled and shook his head: "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, today Zhicai was appointed to Baima, and today Zhicai you will come to visit, Chen Xiangzhicai, you are not just here to ask for a glass of water and wine."
"You, you." Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled: "Don't think about everything too complicated, I will set off for Baima to build a city, and I am here today to say goodbye to Si Lang."
"Hehe, that's right." Du Chen nodded, it's not bad for Xi Zhicai to say this, after all, Zhicai went to Baima, and he won't come back until Yuan's army breaks through Baima, it will take at least a few years, so he won't see Zhicai for many years.
"But ......" Du Chen was a little worried about his expression.
Xi Zhicai obviously knew what Du Chen was worried about, he shook his head: "Si Lang's worries are known, but this trip is loyal to must go, I want to be loyal to the prime minister for so long, but I haven't made an inch, Zhicai doesn't want to die of old age in Xuchang City, and it's a good thing to go out for activities."
Looking at Zhicai, Du Chen found that he was indeed a little old: "Where did Zhicai say this, Zhicai, you are in the prime of life, and you still have more time to serve Mengde, why do you have to take such risks."
Xi Zhicai's eyes were slightly dim, but he quickly covered up the past: "Silang's words are wrong, you and me, Feng Xiao and the three of them have served the prime minister at the same time, but only Zhong has not made an inch of merit so far, and Zhong is also worthy of the trust of the lord, and now that he has an opportunity, how can Zhong give up."
"Moreover, although this trip is dangerous, it may not be lifeless, after all, the white horse is the place of our army, even if Yuan Jun wants to do it, he will have some estimates, Silang, you can rest assured." Xi Zhicai comforted Du Chen, and was quite moved by Du Chen's worries, and he didn't blame himself for treating Du Chen as a close friend.
"Zhicai's words are not unreasonable, there is really no danger if you are careful, and with Zhicai's resourcefulness, even if Yuan Jun plays any conspiracy, Zhicai can also break it with wisdom." Du Chen nodded.
Since Zhicai has the heart to kill the enemy, he really shouldn't discourage him here.
"Hahaha." Zhicai laughed loudly: "This is Du Chen Du Silang whom Zhong knows, is Zhong so untalented, will he die if he goes to Baima?"
"Hahaha." Looking at each other and smiling at Xi Zhong, Du Chen's mood was obviously a lot better, and the haze that had just been pressed on him also disappeared, it seemed that he was indeed too careful.
"The White Horse built the city just to temporarily avoid the edge of the Yuan army, and to fight a decisive battle with the Yuan army, the White Horse is not a good place, so Zhicai should retreat in the face of difficulties, and withdraw his troops immediately when the time is right." Du Chen said instructively.
"Si Lang is too underestimated by me, you still need to tell Zhong about this." Xi Zhicai glanced at Du Chen.
"Si Lang, Zhong wants to persuade you, although you have great power, but you still have to distinguish between master and servant, we must assist the lord, and we must not have half of the heart." Xi Zhicai looked at Du Chen, his brows furrowed deeply.
Xi Zhicai's words made Du Chen stunned, he didn't understand why Xi Zhong said this: "I still hope that Zhicai will make it clear, I don't think I have half the heart to transgress, why do you persuade Chen like this."
Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly: "Si Lang really has no ambition, from the beginning of his reign to the present, but Si Lang, you must also know that although you have no ambition, but your power is worrying, you may not want to rebel, but who can guarantee that the people under your command do not have this intention?"
