Chapter 170: Why is it tough (II) 2/3
"It's a long story."
Chen Gong led Liu Chuang and Zhang Liao towards Wangcheng, and someone would come to clean up the mess.
On the way to Wangcheng, Chen Gong told Liu Chuang and the others the news he had gotten.
"I never thought that Wang Mo was actually Chen Jue's person...... Last night, Chen Jue rode into Pengcheng alone and said that he would descend to the king.
Now that Cao Cao has entered Pengcheng, he will send troops to Pi in the near future. The prince was anxious about this matter, so he sent me to consult with the emperor's uncle and Yuan. ā
Liu Chuang said: "There is a good discussion, my opinion has been explained yesterday, but I don't know how the father-in-law discussed?" ā
"This ......"
Chen Gong showed a look of embarrassment, and said after a while: "Uncle Huang's proposal is very good, but this abandonment of Pi and leaving Guangling is not a trivial matter after all." Yesterday the prince consulted with everyone, and many people did not approve. Therefore, the prince was also hesitant about this, and finally did not discuss the result. However, I just listened to the meaning of the prince, and it seemed that he deliberately wanted to abandon the city, so I wanted to discuss with the two of them. ā
As he spoke, Chen Gong glanced at Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang smiled and said, "Don't ask me, I haven't walked out of the other courtyard last night." ā
Chen Gong also smiled and said softly: "No matter what, in the heart of the prince, the imperial uncle is his own person after all, and the idea he said is naturally for his sake." ā
What kind of character is Lu Bu?
Chen Gong can be said to know very well.
Hugh sees that Lu Bu is brave and powerful, known as a tiger, but there is always one of the softest places in his heart, which is his family.
Lu Bu attaches great importance to his family, and he also attaches great importance to the construction of Mrs. Yan and others. In the past, Mrs. Yan and the others may not have played much role, but now Liu Chuang is their son-in-law, so Liu Chuang's idea can also have an impact on them. and further affected Lu Bu.
Lu Bu seems to have changed his attitude a little today.
Therefore, Chen Gong was sure that it must have been Liu Chuang who moved Mrs. Yan, and then made Lu Bu change his mind.
"Prince, want to abandon Xiapi?"
Zhang Liao listened to the scene clearly, first stunned, and then puzzled.
Chen Gong hurriedly said: "I don't know from afar, after the emperor's uncle came yesterday, he said that he couldn't defend it.
Xiapi is surrounded by water on all sides. Low-lying terrain...... And this winter flood is coming, if Cao Cao attacks with water, he is only afraid that he will break the city, but it will not be overnight. Therefore, the emperor's uncle built yƬ and retreated to Guangling. But the generals would not agree. Therefore, the prince has not yet been able to make up his mind. ā
After saying that, Chen Gong looked at Zhang Liao.
As the No. 1 general under Lu Bu's account, Zhang Liao's opinion is still very important.
After Zhang Liao heard this, he slapped his thigh on the horse, "The prince is confused." What else is there to consider about this? There is no danger to defend in Xiapi, and its low-lying terrain is more likely to be attacked by Cao's army. In my opinion, what Uncle Huang said is extremely correct. Retreat to Guangling. At least you can stop the enemy with Huai Shui. ā
"But ......"
"Gongtai, the prince can't see the severity of this, can't you still see it?
I think. The city must be abandoned as much as possible. If Cao Cao really crossed the water with a soldier, when the soldiers came to the city. If you want to retreat again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ā
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he turned his head to Liu Chuang and said, "It's just that Cao Cao will not stop lightly when he sends troops this time."
Even if he retreats to Guangling, I am afraid that Huaishui can only block the enemy for a while, and sooner or later he will be attacked by Cao Cao. But I don't know if the emperor's uncle has a clever plan to help the prince and marquis survive this calamity? ā
"I have some ideas about this, but it's not perfect yet."
"Liao is willing to listen to you."
The three of them were talking, and before they knew it, they came to the royal city.
Chen Gong walked into the main hall with Liu Chuang and Zhang Liao, and saw Lu Bu wandering with his hands in his hands.
Seeing Liu Chuang, Lu Bu suddenly sank his face, "Meng Yan, I heard that you just clashed with Yuan Ding on the street, and you also seriously injured Zishan, but there is such a thing." ā
Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "This is indeed the case." ā
Lu Bu suddenly showed a hint of unhappiness, "Meng Yan, now Cao Cao is about to come to the city, everyone should work together." Why did you have a conflict with Yuan Ding at this time? In any case, Yuan Ding has always been loyal since I merged with the state. You swept his face, didn't you make it difficult for me? ā
When Liu Chuang heard this, he also showed displeasure.
"If according to what my father-in-law said, if he bullied me, I can only endure it?"
"This ......"
"Father-in-law, I don't like reckless people, but today's incident is not that I took the initiative to provoke it, but that Hou Cheng's father and son came to trouble me. If it weren't for the face of his father-in-law, would Hou Jiyan be able to live? If I cut off two of his fingers, it was only a small punishment. But my father-in-law, it is not a good thing for you to indulge your subordinates like this. You didn't see how arrogant Hou Cheng's father and son were on the street. ā
"You ......"
Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, and he took the case.
"Then according to what you say, should I be grateful?"
"The prince is angry, the prince is angry......"
Chen Gong and Zhang Liao didn't expect why Liu Chuang would suddenly be so sharp-tongued and not give Lu Bu any face. The two hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, and Zhang Liao even pulled Liu Chuang and said, "Uncle Huang, the prince has no intention of blaming you, so don't talk back to the prince again." ā
Chen Gong also said: "Prince, the emperor uncle came from Beihai to help in the war, and he is also filial to you.
He killed all the way from the East China Sea, which is enough to prove that he cares about you. Hou Cheng and others are indeed a little excessive, looking for provocations on the street, how can Uncle Huang endure this breath? In any case, the imperial uncle is the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty, and he always has to maintain the face of the Han family. ā
Chen Gong deserved to be the mastermind, and in a word, he raised this grievance to the face of the Han family.
Speaking of which, Lu Bu is also quite loyal to the Han family.
Hearing Chen Gong say this, the discomfort in his heart weakened a lot, but after being pushed by Liu Chuang a few words just now, he always felt a little dull.
He snorted and said angrily, "You kid, you always get into trouble with me." ā
Although he still had an angry face, in his words, there was much less anger.
Liu Chuang also climbed along the pole, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Father-in-law, there is a way to be a monarch and a minister, a father and a son, this is the norm."
Although Hou Cheng is an old minister, although he is a man who fought in the south and the north, he has worked hard and made great achievements. But the father-in-law did not treat him badly, as far as I know, since the father-in-law got Xuzhou, these old ministers are quite favorable. But the result? These people may not be grateful to their father-in-law. On the contrary, he is arrogant and domineering.
I know that when I say these things, whether it is my father-in-law or General Yuan, I may not like to listen to it.
But I still have to say it!
Hou Cheng and them are no longer those fierce generals who fought with their father-in-law in the south and north. As they grew older, they set up many industries in Xiapi, how could they work as hard as before? They have lost their earlier momentum and are now just a bunch of money-hungry people. People who are greedy for life and afraid of death are not enough to entrust them with important tasks. Far away, don't you look at me like that...... As far as I can see, my father-in-law is under my command, and now except for you and Gao Xiaogong. The credible ones are nothing but Cao Xing and Chen Gong. I am not familiar with General Cheng Lian, so it is difficult to judge him.
Now is the key to the survival of the father-in-law, if the father-in-law does not believe me, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss. ā
"Meng Yan, shut up for me!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was furious.
And Zhang Liao was also angry, glaring at Liu Chuang.
"Uncle Huang. You ......" Chen Gong watched from the sidelines, smiling bitterly.
He really couldn't understand how Liu Chuang, who was usually very smart, could suddenly be so irrational. Say these words?
But Liu Chuang was not afraid, "I said this, I was really worried about my father-in-law."
If you don't believe me, you may blame me. You can let me go...... I know that my father-in-law has decided to abandon Xiapi. But Guangling was also not enough to hold on. Therefore, I want to ask my father-in-law to have a right with me, and the grain and grass of Xia Xiang and Lingxian County are all for my use, and I will find a way out for my father-in-law. ā
Liu Chuang's face was calm, and after he finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and then turned around and withdrew from the main hall.
"Bastard!"
Lu Bu was so angry that he stood up, drew his sword and cut off the long case.
And Zhang Liao's face was also pale, and it was obvious that Liu Chuang's words also angered him, making him feel quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Oh, no one else can be trusted, are you the only one to be trusted?
But he is not Lu Bu after all, and he has a cold temperament.
After thinking about it, he seemed to have a clear understanding: with Liu Chuang's temperament, how can he follow the villain to say that people are long?
He and the prince are a family, and for the sake of the prince, he did not hesitate to put himself in danger, and killed all the way to help the prince, and he would definitely not endanger the prince.
Then, what he said today must have his intentions!
Thinking of this, although Zhang Liao was still angry in his heart, he was much calmer.
He made a look with Chen Gong and motioned for Chen Gong to go to Liu Chuang to ask...... Then he pulled Lu Bu to sit down and said softly: "Prince, what Uncle Huang just said, I am also extremely angry. But after thinking about it, I feel that what Uncle Huang said is not unreasonable. Since he doesn't look down on Yuan Ding and them, staying in Xiapi will be a trouble after all. Moreover, he had a dispute with Yuan Ding today, and it was not appropriate for him to stay in Xiapi.
Lingxian, Xiaxiang...... It is a place for princes to hoard grain.
If the prince intends to abandon Xiapi, then the grain and grass of Xia Xiang and Ling County must be sent to Guangling as much as possible, otherwise Cao Cao will be cheap.
Simply, let him be in charge of this matter, I don't know what the prince wants? ā
At this time, Lu Bu could be regarded as calming down, and after bowing his head and muttering for a while, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know that Yuan Ding and they are no longer back then, but after following me for so long, he Liu Chuang is a kid, what qualifications does he have to comment?
Anyway, what you said is far from right, he is really not suitable to continue to stay in Xiapi. It just so happened that his troops and horses would cross the river today, so he asked him to take people to Ling County to be responsible for transporting grain and grass. I still believe that Yuan Ding and they will not betray me, after all, they are different from Zang Xuangao, with me for a long time, how can I give up? In this way, you will be far away from leading people to garrison Geyi Mountain, and you must stop Cao Cao for some time.
I will start arranging for the evacuation of Xiapi...... Meng Yan, let him go and transport grain and grass, and see what means he will have in the end. ā
Zhang Liao also felt that letting Liu Chuang leave Xiapi was the best choice at present.
"In that case, the prince should appease Yuan Ding first."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After Chen Gong withdrew from the main hall, he hurriedly caught up with Liu Chuang.
"Uncle Huang, I know that you have good intentions, but what you said in the hall today is really inappropriate."
Liu Chuang smiled, sighed and said, "I also know that what I said today is indeed inappropriate. But if I don't say it today, the prince will surely come to a great disaster. ā
