Deng Zhan led the dragoon guards to rescue Lu Bu, Diao Chan, Chen Gong and others from Xuzhou City, and more than ten days later, the Qin Wangfu in Luoyang City.

Liu Wei sat in the front hall, and in addition to him, Xu Shu and others were also sitting in the hall.

In the middle of the front hall, Deng Zhan clasped his hands into fists and stood facing Liu Wei, and behind Deng Zhan, stood Diao Chan and Chen Gong, who were brought to Luoyang by him.

"Princess Anyang and go to the back garden to rest!" first stared at Deng Zhan for a long time, and then his eyes fell on Diao Chan and Chen Gong, Liu Wei said to Diao Chan: "This king will go to see the princess later!" ”

"No!" Seeing Liu Bian, Diao Chan remembered what she had said to Liu Bian in Luoyang that day, and couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart, Liu Bian asked her to go back to the back garden, which allowed her to escape from the embarrassing situation at the moment, so she hurriedly responded, said goodbye and left the front hall.

When Diao Chan left, Liu Wei stood up, first walked in front of Deng Zhan, took Deng Zhan's hand and said: "Take a risk and enter Xuzhou City, which is full of Cao Army, General Deng is my Great Qin Tiger General!" It's just that such an act is never advisable in the future, so you should use more schemes! ”

"Your Highness is taught!" Liu Wei asked him to use more tactics in the future, and Deng Zhan hurriedly responded.

After saying his hard work to Deng Zhan first, Liu Wei then walked in front of Chen Gong, arched towards Chen Gong with his fists, and asked with a smile: "Gongtai has been tired all the way, is the journey good?" ”

"Your Highness!" Holding his fists and bowing, he bowed deeply to Liu Bian, and Chen Gong said to Liu Bian: "Thanks to His Highness's rescue, if it weren't for His Highness and General Deng, His Majesty would have died!" ”

"Knowing that Gongtai is already on the road, this king has made an initiative and invited Gongtai's loving mother into Luoyang and bought a house for Gongtai in the city!" With a smile on his face, Liu Wei put down the fists he had picked up and said to Chen Gong: "Don't look shabby at the public platform!" ”

"His Royal Highness ......" was rescued by Deng Zhan in Xuzhou City, Chen Gong was already full of gratitude to Liu Bian, and now he heard that Liu Bian said that his mother was also taken to Xuzhou, he was stunned for a moment, and then bent his legs, knelt in front of Liu Bian, clasped his fists with both hands and said to Liu Bian: "There is no long thing in the palace, Your Highness's kindness cannot be repaid, and the only way to follow Your Highness is to die in case of emergency!" ”

Hearing that Chen Gong said that he was willing to follow him, Liu Wei hurriedly held Chen Gong's wrist with both hands, helped him up, and said to him: "Gongtai is willing to help this king, and Kuang Fu Dahan will have another help!" ”

"Your Highness!" Helped up by Liu Bian, Chen Gong stared at Liu Bian and said to him: "Wen Hou has five hundred traps at the moment, although it is a detour to Xiaopei, but the trapping camp has always been good at charging into battle, if you attack behind the enemy's back, it is really not what they are good at." His Royal Highness has the intention to take Huainan, so take it as soon as possible! ”

Letting go of Chen Gong's hand, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said to Chen Gong: "This king never wanted to go to Huainan early, but he just ......"

"Grain and grass!" Liu Wei stopped talking halfway through his words, but Chen Gong continued: "Your Highness has never used troops against Huainan, not because you don't want to, but earlier the imperial court assigned Zuo Fengyi and Jing Zhaoyin to His Royal Highness, and all the grain and grass were used for disaster relief, but now there is no grain and grass in the army!" ”

"Exactly!" Nodding, Liu Wei said to Chen Gong: "This king can't let the soldiers go hungry to fight, a hungry army can't have warriors!" ”

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Chen Gong's eyelids drooped slightly, and he asked Liu Bian: "Your Highness, hasn't you ever thought about raising an army with the enemy?" ”

"Raising an army with the enemy?" Frowning slightly, Liu Wei stared at Chen Gong without blinking and asked him, "What does the public platform mean?" Please hurry up! ”

"The army marches south, and the cost is incalculable!" Chen Gong clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "If Your Highness is willing, after the army goes out, it will attack the Huainan army all the way, supplement the army with the grain and grass of the Huainan army, and send soldiers and horses to collect grain and grass from the people!" Why worry about the lack of military rations? ”

"Gongtai's words, this king, Yuan Zhi and others also thought about it earlier!" It's just a matter of doing things, and I'm afraid it's difficult.

Liu Wei said that it might be difficult to act specifically, Chen Gong looked up at him, although he didn't speak, there was a trace of doubt in his expression.

"Break the Huainan army, if the Huainan army breaks and flees in a hurry, our army may be able to seize grain and grass!" Seeing that Chen Gong was puzzled, Liu Wei said to him: "If the Huainan army calmly withdraws and burns all the grain and grass before leaving, what will happen to our army?" What's more, once our army goes south, the Huainan army is afraid that the pass will be guarded in various places and will not be killed by our army! So, where do you get the bread and grass? ”

Listening to Liu Bian's words, Chen Gong nodded slowly but did not interject, waiting for Liu Biao to finish speaking.

"It's also difficult to collect grain and grass from the people!" Looking at Chen Gong, Liu Wei said to him: "The people of Huainan are already accustomed to Yuan Shu's control, and they know that our army is to conquer Yuan Shu, and the vast majority of them must not cooperate!" Even if there are a few who cooperate with the army to collect food, it is a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to maintain the consumption of the whole army! ”

"What Your Highness said is very true!" After Liu Wei finished speaking, Chen Gong smiled and said to him: "It's just that His Highness ignored something. ”

Being bluntly ignored by Chen Gong, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and asked Chen Gong: "What did this king ignore?" I beg the public to speak clearly! ”

"Your Highness only thinks about sending troops, but never before sending troops!" Looking at Liu Wei, Chen Gong said to him: "If His Royal Highness used countermeasures before sending troops, so that everyone in Huainan hated Yuan Shu to the bone marrow, why worry about not being able to collect grain and grass!" ”

Chen Gong proposed a counter-plan, and Xu Shu, who was sitting on the side, smiled slightly, stood up and said to Chen Gong: "What the public platform said is not bad, and the counter-plan can really make the people hate Yuan Shu. It's just that once the people complain, what if Yuan Shu raises the butcher's knife to the people? ”

"So right in the air!" As soon as Xu Shu's question was asked, Chen Gong replied: "Yuan Shu slaughtered the people, and His Highness secretly ordered people to protect the village. The people are not pigs and dogs, but they also know good and evil, beautiful and ugly! The people who have been saved by His Royal Highness, needless to say, will definitely support the southern expedition of the army, and the people of Huainan who have not received the benefits of His Royal Highness, out of the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox, are also looking forward to Yuan Shu to break through for His Highness! ”

"According to the public platform, this king wants to use the people?" Frowning slightly, Liu Wei said to Chen Gong: "In this way, hasn't this king done evil things? ”

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei asked, Chen Gong said to him: "Your Highness does not want Your Highness to indulge Yuan Shu in slaughtering civilians, but wants Your Highness to break through the edge of Huainan first!" ”

"Yu Lin Wei?" Although Chen Gong didn't make his words clear, Liu Wei already knew his intentions, frowned slightly, and asked him.

Nodding and looking at Liu Wei, Chen Gong maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing without saying a word.

"What do you think?" After pondering for a moment, Liu Wei asked Xu Shu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu in the hall: "What are the chances of winning this plan of the public platform?" ”

"Seven points of victory!" As soon as Liu Wei asked, Pang Tong stood up and said: "If you use this strategy, there are a few things that should be clear first!" How to instigate Yuan Shu to kill the people of Huainan is one thing! If the instigation is successful, where Yuan Shu wants to attack the people, it's another matter! To save the people, how many of them are willing to give out grain and grass, these are three things! ”

"With these three things, the odds are already thirty percent!" Holding his fists and saluting Liu Wei, Pang Tong then said to Chen Gong: "If any of these three things fail, the crusade against Huainan will fall short!" I don't know what the public station has to do? ”

"Your Highness!" was asked by Pang Tong like this, Chen Gong did not answer him directly, but said to Liu Wei: "By the grace of His Royal Highness's rescue, His Majesty is willing to go to Huainan." In the near future, it will be a matter of urgency! ”

"Now Huainan Yuan Shu is so afraid of this king!" Looking at Chen Gong, Liu Wei shook his head and said to him: "Earlier, General Yang Feng went to Huainan, and this king has already lost his humerus. Now that the public platform is going, how can this king easily agree? ”

"Your Highness!" Seeing that Liu Wei seemed to have the intention to refuse his request, Chen Gong hurriedly clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "If it weren't for General Deng rescuing his ministers to Luoyang, his ministers would have become headless ghosts in Xuzhou!" Although he is serving His Highness at the moment, he has no merit of size, even if he lives in the world, what face does he have to serve His Highness? ”

Chen Gong looked up at Liu Wei, and then said to him: "Your Highness has already taken your minister's mother to Luoyang, and you have the grace of reinvention for your minister's mother and son!" If His Majesty can't make some contributions to His Highness, he will live shamelessly in the world! ”

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and muttered for a moment before greeting Deng Zhan: "General Deng!" ”

Deng Zhan clenched his fists and bowed, and replied to Liu: "The end will be!" ”

"Gongtai insists on going to Huainan, and the general leads twelve dragoon guards to accompany him!" Turning his head to look at Deng Zhan, Liu Wei said to him: "If the Huainan Army discovers your whereabouts, they should immediately escort the public platform back to Luoyang!" ”

"No!" hugged his fists and bowed in response, and Deng Zhan stood aside without saying anything more.

"Gongtai!" After giving instructions to Deng Zhan, Liu Wei looked at Chen Gong again and asked, "I wonder when Gongtai plans to make the trip?" ”

"The sooner the better!" Before Liu Wei's question was asked, Chen Gong said to him: "Wen Hou's command has no soldiers available, and the containment that Cao Cao can play in Xuzhou is extremely limited. Cao Cao can exterminate Wen Hou on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will reorganize his army and advance to Huainan! Whoever arrives first between His Royal Highness and Cao Cao in Shouchun City, Huainan will be in the hands of whom! Fighter planes are urgent, and there must be no delay! ”

As soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, Chen Gong was about to leave, Liu Wei lowered his eyelids, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded to him and said: "Gongtai has made up his mind, and it is inconvenient for this king to stay!" According to the words of the public platform, General Deng and others will escort the public platform southward early tomorrow morning! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" With Liu Bian's promise, Chen Gong hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked Liu Bian.

Looking at Chen Gong, Liu Wei nodded at him, and also raised his fists and arched towards Chen Gong and said, "This king wishes Gongtai in advance, this trip will be a success!" ”

If Chen Gong's strategy is to be proposed by Jia Xu, I am afraid that it is to loot the village in order to achieve the purpose of collecting grain and grass.

But the strategy came out of Chen Gong's mouth, but he thought about it a lot more, especially when it came to the life and death of the people.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Wei only had a brief contact with Chen Gong, and he already had a lot of good feelings for him!
