Liu Ze smiled lightly and said, "Presumably, Mr. Gongtai already has an answer at this time, right?" ”

Chen Gong said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Yes, I already know, in fact, from the beginning, Liu Yuanjun had no intention of leaving Lu Bu's life, what Liu Yuanjun wanted was these generals and troops under Wen Hou, it is true that as soon as Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, Liu Yuanjun had the opportunity to kill Lu Bu and swallow his army, but the die-hard generals like Gao Shun and Zhang Liao would definitely not surrender lightly, and would fight with Liu Zhijun to the end, and Liu Zhijun would also bear the name of injustice, which was obviously not what Liu Zhijun wanted to see." That's why he designed such a fine bureau to lure Lu Bu to rebel, so that he could kill Lu Bu openly and engulf his army, and what the people of the world saw was Lu Bu's greed and injustice, and what they saw was Runde Gong's generosity and generosity, but a few people in the world knew that there was an invisible net woven behind this. Congratulations, Liu Yuanjun, as you wish, the last bit of value of Lu Bu has also been squeezed clean by you, even the most die-hard Gao Shun is willing to bow down, you have won a big victory, Chen is convinced. Chen boasted of being cunning and exhaustive, and compared with the envoy, he was willing to lose! ”

Chen Gong was a little ridiculed, and a little resentful, and his expression was extremely sad and depressed, just like the national player lost a crucial chess game, dejected and embarrassed.

Liu Ze said indifferently: "Mr. Gongtai understands it as a bureau or a trap, which is not false, but in the eyes of this Gongtai, it is an exam." ”

"Exams?" Chen Gong said suspiciously.

"Yes, for Lu Bu, for the public platform. For Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, for all of you. This is an exam, and the test is loyalty and will. Say a few nice words. Swearing and swearing loyalty, this is nothing, people only in the face of temptation, will expose the true nature of people, the so-called picking up huge gold in the wilderness, every beautiful woman in the secret room, hearing the enemy in the disease, this is the touchstone of human character, can withstand the temptation to be regarded as a righteous gentleman. For Lu Bu. The Xuzhou at his fingertips in front of him is a temptation, if he can resist the temptation of the desire for power, he can pass the guò exam, and his father will reuse it for him from now on. It's a pity that he scored zero in this exam, for any lord, the loyalty of his subordinates will always come first, and the ability will always come second, and his subordinates who are not loyal will never be reused. I don't think Mr. Gongtai has any objection to this. Of course, this exam is not only Lu Bu, all of you have scores, and Gongtai and Gao Shun can get full marks. Cao Xingwei continued to barely pass, and as for Song Xian and Hou Cheng, who were sellers seeking glory, they could only be classified as failing. ”

Chen Gong's gaze at Liu Ze was a little strange, and it seemed that since Song Xian and Hou Cheng had the lowest scores. He received the heaviest reward, but he didn't say it.

Liu Ze smiled and said, "The public station seems to have objections. Why did Song Xianhou Cheng, who had the lowest score, get the highest reward? Actually, what I just said is just the result of the exam. The reward that the Song Hou and the two received is not just the reward that the Duke once promised, and it has nothing to do with the high level of loyalty, and your achievements will determine the arrangement of your positions in the future, who is more loyal will inevitably be reused, and those who are less loyal will be abandoned. ”

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said: "This move is incredible, but for a dying person like Chen, it doesn't make any sense. ”

Liu Ze couldn't help but be a little frustrated, after spending so much tongue, Chen Gong was like a donkey, leading and not leaving, fighting backwards, no matter how you persuade him, he will recognize a dead reason. However, Liu Ze is not a person who admits defeat lightly, this road is not good, it seems that he has to find another way.

"Cao Cao, the first official of Gongtai, was also reused by Cao Cao, worshiped as the Taishou of Dongjun, Dongjun is the birthplace of Cao Cao, and it is undoubtedly Cao Cao's weight to Gongtai to let Gongtai take charge of Dongjun. A certain is very curious, Gongtai is loyal and clear, why would he rebel against Cao and welcome Lu Bu? Liu Ze deliberately said casually.

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Chen Gong suddenly changed color, obviously this matter was a dull pain in Chen Gong's heart, but soon Chen Gong regained his normal color, and said lightly: "The past is over, what good is it to say, don't mention it." ”

Liu Ze saw that he was in the middle of it, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said quietly on his face: "Gongtai is known for his great talents, he has great ambitions, Cao Cao's fame is spread in the sea, and he has the spirit of a king, and it is reasonable for Gongtai to start Shidong County, since Gongtai is a loyal and righteous person, it should not betray Cao Cao and welcome Bu, presumably it must be Cao Cao who has done a great evil thing, which will lead Gongtai to rebel against the county." At that time, Cao Cao was slaughtering Xuzhou, which may be regarded as a reason, but it seems that the weight is insufficient, I am afraid that the rebellion of Gongtai has a great relationship with one person, Jiujiang is too guarded by the border! Bian Rang is a contemporary celebrity, and he has a good relationship with Gongtai, but he was wiped out by Cao Cao, which is probably the reason why Gongtai was cold and angry with Cao Cao and rebelled against Lu Bu, right? ”

The corners of Chen Gong's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

"Lu Bu is brave and unscrupulous, untrustworthy and unrighteous, I think Mr. Gongtai may not be willing to stoop to do things, but at that time, Zhang Miao's brothers had already decided to welcome Bu, and there was no one to vote for the public platform, so they could only retreat and choose to recognize Lu Bu as the master. With the talent of Gongtai, it was no problem to help Lu Bu defend Yanzhou, but Lu Bu was stubborn and did not listen to his advice, and missed the opportunity to kill Cao Cao several times, and finally defeated Yanzhou. I think that time was probably the most depressed time in Mr. Gongtai's life, he didn't listen to his advice, he didn't accept good ideas, and Gongtai had a talent to learn, but he had nowhere to show it, which is sad and lamentable! Liu Zedao.

Chen Gong's expression was even darker, and he said slowly: "Liu Yuanjun, there is no need to say any more, the palace is begging for death, and it is useless to say more." ”

How could Liu Ze let go of this opportunity, and further said: "What kind of person Lu Bu is, Gongtai naturally understands better than anyone else in his heart, maybe in Gongtai's mind, Lu Bu is nothing at all, and dying for Lu Bu is not worth it at all." The public station wants to die, but it is just to seek peace of mind and clear the name. If you vote for others again, or you may be ashamed of the world, there will be two more and more, no more and more and no more and four, and the public station will regard its reputation as healing his life, this is probably where the heart of the public platform lies, right? ”

Chen Gong was told by him, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, his face was pale, and he no longer refutated, and sighed: "Those who know me, Degong is also." That being the case, I would like to ask the Duke of De to give me a death in my name! ”

Liu Ze shook his head and chuckled: "Gongtai's words are bad, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, die for the country, die for the world, and do your best, so that you can be as heavy as Mount Tai and live for a hundred years; If you die for a despicable and unrighteous villain like Lu Bu, it is comparable to the lightness of a feather, and the public platform thinks that one death can be full of his name, which is really a big mistake, I am afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at Chen Gong's wisdom, and the pearl will be secretly cast, and the death is worthless. ”

Chen Gong was stunned, but he really didn't think about this, and he couldn't help but hesitate and hesitate.

Liu Ze struck while the iron was hot and said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord to do things, although this is a little old-fashioned, but it is also a wise saying, I think the public platform doesn't want to bury all his talents, right?" There are not too many opportunities in a person's life, but the important thing is that you can grasp the opportunity when it is in front of you, pay homage to the prime minister, and leave a name in history, so as not to be in vain in the next life! ”

Chen Gong's heart shook wildly, and he said with a smile: "It's the palace that is stupid, and Liu Yuanjun's words are golden and jade, which is alarming, and the palace has been taught." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Mr. Gongtai has won the award, and I am waiting for a vacant position here, so I will wait for Gongtai to take office." ”

Chen Gong said: "The palace is a person who rebels twice, does Duke De dare to reuse the palace?" Aren't you afraid that one day the palace will regenerate its rebellious heart? ”

Liu Ze laughed and said: "I don't live up to the public, presumably the public will not fail me, even if the public betrays me again one day in the future, I have to ask myself what I am ashamed of the public platform." ”

Chen Gong immediately laughed, and the gloom on his face was swept away.

Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Wei Xu and others all surrendered, and the matter of absorbing the remnants of Lu Bu's troops naturally proceeded very smoothly, because Lu Bu was captured first, the army in the city was leaderless, and naturally had no intention of fighting, coupled with the encouragement of Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others, most of the soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered. Liu Ze ordered Gao Shun and Chen Gong to temporarily lead this army first and appease the army.

Almost all the generals under Lu Bu were demoted, but Zhang Liao did not surrender, recuperating from his injuries at home and not going out. Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and wanted to come to the door to arrest Zhang Liao. Liu Ze immediately stopped drinking, and ordered anyone to trespass on Zhang Liao's mansion, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

As soon as the order came out, naturally no one dared to obey it.

Zhang Liao is Liu Ze's most valued general, in Liu Ze's mind, Zhang Liao's status is even more important than Chen Gong and Gao Shun, he can recruit Zhang Liao, plus Zhang He, Cao Cao's five good generals will go to the second, one long and the other, and the decisive battle with Cao Cao in the Central Plains in the future, the chances of winning will be a few points more.

Without further ado, Liu Ze was ready to leave immediately and personally went to Zhang Liao's mansion to persuade him to surrender, although Zhang Liao is also a man who values righteousness, but compared to the two hard bones of Chen Gong Gao Shun, Liu Ze is not stunned in his heart, after all, Zhang Liao in history finally did not choose to give Lu Bu a martyrdom and surrendered to Cao Cao, but it also achieved Zhang Liao's feat of shaking Xiaoyaojin, compared to Gao Shun who was killed in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao's reputation is obviously far more than Gao Shun. Liu Ze still has a certain degree of confidence in persuading Zhang Liao to surrender.

Liu Ze summoned Guan Yu to go with him, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao have a good relationship, and calling Guan Yu to go is also an extra bargaining chip.

The order of Xuzhou City has been restored, and people come and go, and there is a scene of peace and tranquility. Liu Ze and Guan Yu walked side by side, and when they reached Beimen Street, Liu Ze suddenly found a strange gaze projected. (To be continued......)
