Chapter 68: Chen Gong Goes to Death
The two looked at each other.
Chen Gong's face was full of question marks.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are both famous generals under Cao Cao, although Yang Ling is not famous, Chen Gong still knows his existence and has met a few times.
Cao Cao called him over, what did he mean?
"Sir."
Cao Cao nodded at Yang Ling and sighed,
"Gongtai is bent on death, but before he dies, he wants to know who saw through his plan."
The corners of Yang Ling's mouth twitched.
You roared and asked Dian Wei to call me over, just for this?
"Gongtai, all this is a ploy by Mr. Yang Ling."
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then sneered,
"Cao Mengde, I'm all going to die, are you still fooling me?"
If Yang Ling really had the ability to see through his plan, how could he only serve as a small grain transportation officer?
Seeing Chen Gong's attitude, Cao Cao sighed,
"Gongtai, you said that you are a dying person, why should I fool you?"
As he spoke, he told Yang Ling's previous schemes, what numbers, new bookkeeping methods, building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king, etc., all of them were told in one go.
The more Chen Gong and Zhang Miao listened, the more frightened they became, and finally their mouths were wide open!
Looking at Yang Ling's gaze, he was already full of shock!
"You...... If you have such talent, why do you only want to be a small grain transport officer? β
Chen Gong couldn't help but say.
"No way, I'm lazy."
Yang Ling shrugged his shoulders.
When Chen Gong heard this, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
Cao Cao on the side hurriedly said,
"Mr. Yang Ling laughed, he is completely vain, he doesn't care about his name!"
When he said this, Chen Gong felt a little better in his heart.
That's it.
Maybe it's because he doesn't care about fame and isn't blinded by worldly interests like himself that he can outperform himself!
Chen Gong sighed happily,
"My wish has been fulfilled, please send me on my way to Gong Cao!"
Then he closed his eyes and said nothing!
Cao Cao's face flashed with regret, regret, and helplessness, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to Dian Wei on the side.
Dian Wei knowingly called a few soldiers and escorted Chen Gong and Zhang Miao to walk out.
Yang Ling quietly watched the two being escorted away, and had no intention of interceding for Chen Gong.
In the final analysis, Chen Gong is to blame.
Cao Cao didn't reuse him, he could have abandoned Cao Cao.
But he wanted to incite Zhang Miao and others to unite and resist Cao Cao together!
Although Cao Cao cherished his talent, in his heart, why didn't he have the idea of killing him?
β¦β¦
Without much effort, after taking Yongqiu City, Cao Jun rested for a while and continued to march towards Lu Bu, which was not far away.
Lu Bu can't even take Zhang Miao, how can he be Cao Jun's opponent?
Unable to resist the offensive of Cao's army, he could only retreat in disarray, wanting to retreat to Hanoi County.
It's a pity that Cao Cao wanted to drive him to Xuzhou according to Yang Ling's strategy, and completely blocked the road to Hanoi County in advance!
LΓΌ Bu Barracks.
In the big tent, the atmosphere was quite silent.
Lu Bu sat there expressionlessly, everyone's eyes dodging, not daring to look at him.
"Wen Hou, looking at it this way, we are really wrong to blame Zhang Miao and Chen Gong."
Gao Shun sighed.
He had repeatedly admonished Lu Bu before, saying that Zhang Miao and Cao Cao had joined forces to deal with them, which seemed strange.
It may be a divisive tactic used by Cao Cao's side.
But Lu Bu just didn't listen.
With Zhang Miao being exterminated by Cao Cao, it also happened to verify Gao Shun's words!
Without Zhang Miao, with Lu Bu's own strength, he is not Cao Cao's opponent at all!
"What's the use of you saying that now?"
Lu Bu's face was gloomy, and he roared,
"Are you trying to blame me?!"
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Gao Shun was startled, and hurriedly arched his hand,
"Subordinates are just ......"
"Enough, shut up! Get out of the tent for me! β
Lu Bu scolded viciously.
Gao Shun didn't expect Lu Bu to scold himself, and he was stunned for a moment, and then walked out of the camp sadly.
Except for Zhang Liao's unbearable eyes, the rest of Cao Xing, Zang Ba and others were all gloating with a face of schadenfreude!
After Gao Shun left, Lu Bu looked at everyone,
"Do you have any plans to get out of the current predicament?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it's all at a loss.
Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said slowly,
"Marquis Wen, now that Cao Cao's army has surrounded us, it is impossible to withdraw to Hanoi County."
"In that case, why don't we do the opposite?"
Lu Bu was stunned and said suspiciously,
"How do you do the opposite?"
"It's very simple, everyone thinks that we will retreat to Hanoi. Cao Cao's army also had many checkpoints in the west. β
"We can march eastward, Cao Cao will definitely not guess it, and it will be too late to send troops to stop us."
Listening to Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding slightly.
That's a great idea!
"It's just that we're marching east, where are we going?"
Cao Xuan raised his own questions.
"Go to Xuzhou!"
Zhang Liao didn't think about it, so he said,
"Tao Qian and Cao Cao have a common enmity, Wen Hou goes to him, and he will definitely be reused!"
Lu Bu thought about it and felt that this was the only feasible plan at the moment.
So he nodded and said,
"Okay, just according to what Wen Yuan said, let's march east! You all go down and get ready for a breakout! β
"Whoa!"
The generals took their orders and left.
When everyone else left, Lu Bu noticed that his general Hao Meng did not leave.
"Hao Meng, do you have anything else?"
Hao Meng stepped forward with a smile and said in a low voice,
"Wenhou, although Cao Cao didn't expect us to break through to the east, for the sake of safety, we can send a team of soldiers and horses to break through in the opposite direction."
"In this way, you can attract Cao Cao's attention and let Wen Hou get out safely."
Lu Bu's heart moved, and he nodded,
"That's a good idea, but who should I send?"
This is clearly to send to death, but I am afraid that no one will want to!
"Wen Hou can send that guy Gao Shun over!"
Hao Meng said with a smile.
That's right.
You can send that guy over and send him to his death!
A cold light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and a sneer appeared on his face.
The reason why he doesn't regard Gao Shun as a confidant is that Gao Shun is too upright!
Gao Shun is innocent and majestic, does not drink alcohol, and does not accept bribes.
He also has an elite trap camp in his hands.
Lu Bu, who has a suspicious personality, naturally doesn't like him.
When Cao Cao was separated this time, Gao Shun persuaded Lu Bu many times, but Lu Bu did not listen to his advice.
After the truth was revealed, Gao Shun brought up the old matter again, which made Lu Bu lose face!
So after thinking about it, Lu Bu decided to follow Hao Meng's proposal and send Gao Shun to die!
β¦β¦
After Zhang Liao left Lu Bu's camp, he went directly to Gao Shun.
"Gao Shun, Wen Hou has always been impulsive, you don't have to take it to heart."
Zhang Liao comforted.
