Chapter 159: Feudal Marquis

"Hehe, Zhongkang, you underestimate this Liu Bei. Although this Liu Bei is very depressed now, this is just a superficial phenomenon. He deceived everyone with his performance, but he couldn't deceive me. Du Chen said with a slightly mysterious expression.

"You must also know that before Liu Bei took refuge in the prime minister, he was sitting in Xuzhou and was a veritable prince. Although he was deceived by Lu Bu and let Lu Bu seize Xuzhou, he did not have the slightest appearance of self-abandonment. From a prince to the county guard of a small city, how big a span is there I don't say Zhongkang, you also know, in the face of such a failure, Liu Bei is still like this, isn't this a character? ”

Xu Chu had never thought of Du Chen's words, but after listening to Du Chen's words, Xu Chu felt suddenly enlightened. Mr.'s words are not false at all, sitting in Xuzhou is definitely a prince. And compared to that little Pei Taishou, it is simply the gap between the sun and the moon and the fluorescence.

It can be said that if this matter were replaced by oneself, it would definitely be difficult to withstand such a blow, and such a gap is too big.

Xu Chu nodded, and then said, "Listening to what Mr. said, this Liu Bei is really a character." ”

"He's more than just a character, you know, Liu Bei just started by selling straw sandals. He is nothing but a royal family member with an unjustified name. Just imagine, a person who was born as a straw sandal-seller can sit in Xuzhou, how can it be described by a character. Speaking of this, Du Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, Xu Chu admired this Liu Bei. It is not for nothing that Du Chen values Liu Bei so much. This Liu Bei is really suitable for this troubled world.

"Okay, continue to pay attention to Liu Bei's every move." Du Chen waved his hand and said to Xu Chu.

"No!" Xu Chu turned over and saluted, turned around and was about to walk out. Then I heard Du Chen ask, "Zhongkang, has the prime minister returned?" ”

"Back to Mr. Hui's words. The Lord is on the way back. I'm afraid it won't be long before the lord will return to Xuchang. Xu Chu hurriedly turned around and said.

Du Chen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Got it, you go down." As long as Liu Bei has any changes there, you have to inform me as soon as possible. ”

"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely stare at Liu Bei with all my might. As long as he has the wind and grass. I will inform my husband as soon as possible. This time, Xu Chu said very sincerely, because at this time he had realized what kind of character Liu Bei was.

After Xu Chu left, Du Chen fell into deep thought again. Because he didn't know what Liu Bei was going to do. He knew very well why Liu Bei came to Xuchang, but what puzzled Du Chen was why Liu Bei had not moved for a long time.

However, Cao Cao is not there, but Du Chen can't make a presumptuous claim. To deal with Liu Bei, we still need to discuss it with Cao Cao.

Half a month passed in a flash, and Cao Cao finally led the army back to Xuchang City. As a surprise to Du Chen, Zang Ba was left in Xuzhou, and he stayed in Xuzhou City to sit in Xuzhou.

For Cao Cao's decision, many people have doubts. After all, Zang Ba had just descended to Cao, so he gave him such an important position. This is somewhat unbelievable. For this reason, many people stepped forward to persuade Cao Cao, but unfortunately they did not persuade him. Let him change his commands.

For this, Du Chen agrees very much. Because Zang Ba has the ability to take charge of Xuzhou, and it is not without purpose to treat Zang Ba so well. One of the most significant purposes is to let the world know that Cao Cao knows people well and is not suspicious of employing people. Here's how it goes. Presumably, many talents will flock to gather.

A general Cao Cao is treated so favorably, if he is replaced by someone else, Cao Cao will definitely not be stingy with his reward.

Of course, except for Zang Ba, all the generals who crusaded against Xuzhou this time were rewarded. But when he arrived at Du Chen, Cao Cao didn't know what to do.

Du Chen can already be regarded as the head of the three princes. is a high-ranking and powerful person, and Du Chen's family is well-off, and he is a master who is not bad for money. Just the profits brought to Du Chen by the welcome pine have made Du Chen not worry about any burden in life.

The power and money are not bad, Cao Cao is really worried, and he doesn't know what to reward. However, everyone who participated in the battle of Xuzhou was rewarded, and if Du Chen was not rewarded, this was somewhat unreasonable.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Cao finally thought of how to reward Du Chen. Since Du Chen has the power and money, he will give Du Chen a title. Canonize Du Chen's fiefdom and canonize him with a knighthood, so that it is estimated that you can see it.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao ordered someone to summon Du Chen to discuss what to seal Du Chen. After all, in the land of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, no one knows where Du Chen likes it.

And when Du Chen received the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also happened to want to visit Cao Cao to discuss how to solve Liu Bei's problem.

After Du Chen came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao took the lead and said: "Silang, all the officials who participated in the Battle of Xuzhou have been rewarded, but you and I don't know how to reward them, tell me, what are you lacking now?" ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Du Chen was stunned for a moment. Immediately, he thought in his heart, did Cao Cao plan to reward himself, have you ever seen a discussion with the person who was rewarded about giving him a reward or something, anyway, Du Chen listened to this mess.

Seeing that Du Chen didn't respond, Cao Cao immediately opened his mouth and said: "Since Silang, you don't know, I have an idea, that is, to make you a marquis, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, Du Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This matter is all arranged by Meng De." "Regarding the matter of the marquis, Du Chen looks very lightly. Because among the Three Kingdoms, there are a lot of large and small seals, and they must not be inferior to this one.

"Since that's the case, Silang will choose a fiefdom." Seeing that Du Chen agreed without thinking about it, Cao Cao was very satisfied.

"And fiefdoms?" Du Chen muttered in a low voice, and then said, "Since this is the case, then I will choose Dongwu County." ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, because he knew that Dongwu County was not Du Chen's hometown? Clearing his throat, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "In that case, Si Lang, then Cao will simply divide Lang Evil County to you, and from now on, Si Lang, you will be the Lang Evil Marquis." ”

"Mengde doesn't need to be like this, I'm just talking." Du Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Du Chen's words, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "Hehe, is not for fun. ”

Du Chen nodded, and then said: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, by the way, Meng De, we have just taken Xuzhou, and the first task at this time is to consolidate Xuzhou, after all, Xuzhou is a vital position, as long as you hold Xuzhou firmly, you can get stable soldiers and grain and grass." ”

"I naturally know about this, otherwise how could I spend a long time in Xuzhou." Cao Cao nodded and said.

"There is one more thing I would like to discuss with Meng De." Du Chen suddenly spoke, and suddenly, Du Chen's expression became very solemn.

Receiving Du Chen's infection, Cao Cao also had a solemn expression. At this time, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, not knowing what Du Chen was going to say. Such a strict expression rarely appeared on Du Chen's face, and when Du Chen appeared with such an expression, it indicated that something big had happened.

"I want to discuss with you Meng De, how to deal with Liu Bei." Du Chen said with a solemn expression. Obviously, Du Chen already wanted to deal with Liu Bei very much, after all, Liu Bei was a great threat.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned. He couldn't have imagined that Du Chen was telling him so solemnly about this matter. However, Cao Cao is also very interested in Liu Bei. After all, Cao Cao's vision is extraordinary, so he can naturally see that Liu Bei is very human.

After Du Chen finished speaking, Cao Cao was silent. Because for Liu Bei, Cao Cao didn't know how he planned to treat him. Then, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said: "Whether it is Liu Bei or Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are all rare talents, is there no possibility of subduing?" ”

Obviously, Cao Cao, a person who regards talents as his life, attaches great importance to every talent. Especially the one he can see, he tries his best to receive his subordinates and let him help him do things.

It's like Guan Yu, it's like Zhao Yun, it's like Huang Gai. In order to subdue everyone, Cao Cao spent a lot of time on several people. Especially Huang Gai, for a Huang Gai, Cao Cao can be said to have suffered a heavy loss. (To be continued......)
