Fu Zhu nodded and replied, "Yes! Lord! Gongsun Chan must have seen that we were eager for talents, so he deliberately agreed to the lord's recruitment, but Gongsun Yue will definitely expand the army during this period, intending to rise again! ”

Lu Chen asked, "In that case, why don't you transfer Gongsun Yue out of other counties?" ”

"My lord, Gongsun Chan is the first prince we recruited, if everyone in the world knows that the army that surrenders to our Shengle will be removed from the military power and lose the opportunity to command the army, then which military general will dare to surrender to the lord in the future?"

Lu Chen nodded and sighed, "This is difficult!" If he hadn't been so anxious to recruit Gongsun Zhan, he wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the loophole! ”

He didn't expect that recruiting a military general would have so much relevance.

Fu Zhu smiled and said: "Actually, the lord doesn't have to be like this, although Gongsun Chan only surrendered to us in name, but this also happened to help us indirectly!" ”

"Huh? Helped us? ”

Tian Chou stood up at this time and said with a smile: "What the prince said is reasonable, the lord, in fact, Gongsun Zhan's trip is also to help the lord publicize his prestige, I believe that after the world's heroes heard that Gongsun Bogui surrendered to the lord, the lord's reputation will definitely rise, and there will be more and more heroes who take refuge in the lord!" ”

"Oh? Isn't it that the official position of rewarding Gongsun Chan is too small? ”

Tian Chou said with a smile at this time: "No, the official position of Zhonglang given by the lord is just right for Gongsun Zhan, not big or small, there is still more room for him to be promoted, if the lord is high, I am afraid that he will not be so honest!" ”

"Oh?"

Tian Chou smiled.

Lu Chen still didn't understand, if Gongsun Zhan's army expanded again, wouldn't it be even more difficult to recover it later.

Tian Chou smiled and continued: "Lord, we should hold a celebration banquet for General Gongsun, it is better to be able to celebrate with the whole city!" Gong, don't you say? Ha ha. ”

Fu Zhu nodded and smiled: "Zitai has a wonderful plan!" ”

......

The next day.

Outside Shengle City.

The carriage of the envoy came back slowly, and Gongsun Zhan sat in the carriage, looking at the Shengle Palace that was about to arrive, and couldn't help but sneer when he thought of Lu Chen looking at recovering himself.

"Lord, Sheng Le has arrived!"

Gongsun Zhan packed up his clothes, stepped out of the carriage and looked around, there were rows of trees on both sides of the post road, and it was no longer the endless grassland that it had been.

Behind the trees are green grain seedlings and rows of farmhouses, all of which were unseen ten years ago, but now appear in this barren grassland.

"I didn't expect Su Xiaochen to really recover the entire nomadic race!"

"General Gongsun, please!"

The herald interrupted Gongsun Zhan's exclamation.

They got out of the carriage and walked towards the city gate, and at this moment, Gongsun Chan saw several figures standing at the city gate from a distance, as if they were greeting someone.

He shuddered.

But.

There's no way to back down now.

He could only stubbornly walk towards the city gate.

"Welcome General Gongsun into the city!"

"Welcome General Gongsun into the city!"

......

Gongsun Zhan heard the cheers resounding all over the city, and there was a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, and at this time, Lu Chen's figure also appeared at the gate of the city, and he led the court officials to greet him.

"General Gongsun has come from afar, and he has worked hard!"

Gongsun Zhan listened to Lu Chen's greetings, immediately clasped his hands, and said with a cold face: "Xie Sucheng greets you!" ”

"General Gongsun is a hero in the world, this time General Gongsun does not think that Shengle is remote, and came to Shengle to share his Majesty's worries, such a loyal act is really admired by the people of the world! Su was able to come to greet such a hero as General Gongsun, which was really Su's luck! ”

When Gongsun Chan heard Lu Chen's somewhat rusty and resounding praise, he couldn't help but glance at the people on both sides, and the people at this time couldn't help but praise Gongsun Chan and said: "General Gongsun is so righteous, it's really a blessing for my Han!" ”

“......”

Along the way, Gongsun Chan did not speak.

Lu Chen kept praising Gongsun Zhan's surrender to Sheng Le as a heroic act and a righteous man's act, until he entered the palace and after the banquet opened, Lu Chen announced that the whole city would welcome General Gongsun for three days!

Gongsun Zhan's face darkened.

Just three days later.

Gongsun Yue, who was far away in Youzhou, received a report from Shengle, and was stunned for a few seconds.

He threw the letterhead into the furnace and hummed, "What a trick to be false!" Hum! As long as we recover, who will be rare for you to be a little lieutenant! ”

He immediately wrote down a letter, pretended to be and shouted, "Someone! Deliver this letter to the Lord now! ”

"Yes! Lord! ”

Inside the city of Chang'an.

Li Long probed the report from Shengle, and immediately said with the same doubts: "How could Gongsun Chan surrender to Su Datuo?" ”

Then.

Ma Teng reminded: "Lord, Su Xiaochen of Shengle has obtained Gongsun Zan at this time, and his forces are only afraid that they will no longer be under Lu Bu and others, do we need to send people to the state to defend him and take the opportunity to go south?" ”

Li Long said: "No! Su Xiaochen won't attack us! ”

Zhang Ji in front also reminded: "Lord, it can be said that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable!" Shengle is adjacent to the state, once they take advantage of the situation, our Chang'an is in danger! I hope that the lord must not decide the fate of the court with private feelings! ”

Li Long took a deep breath.

He naturally knew what they were worried about.

But.

With Su Xiaochen's character, he would definitely not be able to do the sneak attack on his friends behind his back.

He also believed in Su Xiaochen.

If Su Xiaochen wants this world, Li Long doesn't mind giving him this Chang'an, because for him, this game is no longer a game, and he doesn't have that ambition!

It's just that now it's time to have to face it.

Li Ru said at this time: "Lord, General Zhang is right, Su Xiaochen must not be underestimated, among the several major princes, although Su Xiaochen has not yet made a move, but with his current practice of establishing Liu Wei as the emperor, it has already shown that he intends to get involved in this world!" We really can't afford to be on guard! ”

Li Long saw that Li Ru had spoken.

Then he said perfunctorily: "I will consider this matter!" ”

Li Ru and the others naturally knew Li Long's thoughts.

still persuaded: "Lord, Gongsun Zhan's attachment to Su Xiaochen must be a fraudulent surrender, but even if it is a fraudulent surrender, Gongsun Chan will definitely make some things, and the only place for him to make a move must be us!" If Gongsun Chan goes to Chang'an in the name of Emperor Zheng, once Su Xiaochen doesn't have time to stop it, it will definitely be us who will lose at that time! ”

“...... Fraud? ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "Yes!" Gongsun Chan is arrogant and domineering, how can he be willing to surrender to others, let alone a stranger, so his move must be a deception! Gongsun Zhan was defeated by Yuan Shao last time, and now he must be looking for an opportunity to recover his troops, and then occupy other territories, and he will be ashamed in the future! ”

Li Long was puzzled: "Since it is a fraudulent surrender, doesn't Su Xiaochen know?" ”

"He knows!"

"Now that you know! Why didn't you kill him? ”

Then.

Ma Teng replied, "Su Xiaochen can't kill him!" Don't dare to kill him! If he wants to be recognized by the heroes of the world, he will not kill him! ”

Li Ru and the others nodded.

Li Long looked at the subordinates and persuaded one after another, and immediately investigated the distribution of other princes, now he is in the center of Chang'an, with Cao Cao in the east and Liu Chan in the south, no matter which direction he sends troops, another force will take the opportunity to attack.

Although he avoided all the mistakes made by Dong Zhuohui, and even Lu Bu did not recover it, which was also temporarily supported by the family, but it was only to assist in garrisoning Chang'an City.

If he went to fight against the other princes, then they would not send a single soldier, and now he can only mobilize half of the army, he suddenly understood why Dong Zhuo had a large number of troops at that time, but he couldn't attack the other princes, so he could only let the other princes sit on the ground and become bigger.

The fundamental reason for this is that the families only care about their own interests, and they will never tie their worth to someone else's ship easily.

"Wenhe, do we have a better strategy for the current situation?"

Jia Xu sat down silently, and when he heard Li Long ask, he got up and said slowly: "Lord, the minister has three strategies, I don't know what the lord wants to listen to?" ”

"What's the best way to go? What's next? ”

Jia Xu said slowly: "The best strategy is to protect yourself and wait for your rise; The next policy is to rather be broken than broken. ”

"Where's the middle strategy?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Zhongce is to bow down and welcome Cao Cao into Chang'an!" ”

Li Long shook his head and firmly decided: "The best policy! ”

"My lord!"

Just three days later.

Hangu Pass is broken, and Cao Cao invades Chang'an City!

"Ding! Chang'an City was breached by Cao Cao, and Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and coerced the Son of Heaven to make the era of princes come! ”

The moment the system prompts the sound starts.

The players were amazed.

"Li Long lost?"

That's the first thought of the players.

When he heard this prompt, Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder: "Li Long's 700,000 army lost to Cao Cao?" ”

"My lord! Chang'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is absolutely impossible to break through so easily, unless, unless Li Long gives up holding on to Chang'an City and retreats to Liangzhou, just avoiding the fate of the group of marquis to crusade against Chang'an! ”

Lu Chen nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case!" ”

Three months later!

"Ding! Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty to move to Yuzhou, set the capital Xuchang, proclaimed himself prime minister, received the order of the Son of Heaven, and recovered the thirteen states of the world. ”

The prompt sounds.

Lu Chen couldn't help but snort.

Li Long and him are both prime ministers, why is the gap between people so big?

"It's finally getting started! Just let them fight! Hehe! ”

Just when Lu Chen was about to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Tian Zhong came with bad news.

"My lord! Liaodong Gongsun Du and Gongsun Yue are attacking Youbeiping! ”

Lu Chen slapped his head and said, "What? Gongsun Du? Send a message to General Xu Rong and ask him to lead his army to help quell the rebellion! Gongsun Chan! Hurry up and send me Gongsun Chan to come! ”

"Yes!"

"Damn Gongsun Yue! It's really time to step on a horse! Grass! ”。

Lu Chen muttered.

Gongsun Yue would take the opportunity to make trouble, they had already budgeted it, but Lu Chen still didn't expect the appearance of Gongsun Du, and almost forgot that there was such a person.
