"Huh! That's what I've been waiting for!"

When Cao Ren heard Xu Zhen's words, he suddenly smiled on his face, and he was not angry, he immediately hugged Xu Zhen's arm and squeezed it tightly, looking at him with a sincere expression, "Bowen, of course I don't want your war horse, but you still need to remember that the guard camp under your command was given by me at the beginning." ”

"Do you have to remember this kindness?"

He laughed, his smile was very jerky, not very natural, Xu Zhen immediately suspicious, looked back at Cao Ren for a long time, his face had always been skeptical, and after a while, he asked tentatively: "Brother came today, it was taught by Xun You, right?" ”

Cao Ren suddenly straightened his face and returned to his previous seriousness, "Can you see it?" ”

"Tsk, I know."

Xu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Su Wei Camp, it was originally my brother who gave me back the favor of the Cao family, why do you want to use this as a favor today and ask Bowen to repay it?" To say this, I have somewhat lost the prestige of your General Cao Zixiao......"

Cao Ren's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes looked left and right unnaturally a few times, only to feel that Xu Zhen's words were like knives, just lightly cut on his heart, there was no wound, but he was panicked.

"Alas, that's it! Let's go! ”

Cao Ren's face was gloomy, and he immediately turned around and left.

"Wait!"

Xu Zhen grabbed him and leaned closer: "But, my brother must have a plan to come today, or let my younger brother help?" Whether? ”

"yes."

Cao Ren didn't deny it, and nodded with a cold snort.

It's just that now that the Tao has broken the things in my heart, I can't accept it for a while, so I can only avoid it first, and wait for the red temperature on my face to subside.

"That's okay, the younger brother will naturally help."

Xu Zhen took the opportunity to put his hand on Cao Ren's back and patted it twice, "Brother said bluntly." ”

Cao Ren was silent and walked for some distance.

Then he looked back at Xu Zhen and said, "Guangling, I want to take it back personally." ”

"In this way, there is no need for the lord to personally send troops to Xuzhou, if we can make meritorious contributions to take down Guangling, what kind of scenery should it be? Such a feat, wouldn't it make the lord feel more at ease. ”

I see!

This is clear, Xu Zhen knows why Cao Ren came in person, what he wants is just a superficial effort, what he really wants Xu Zhen to help is to use the power of Jiujiang and the power of Xuzhou, a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and attack Guangling at the same time, so that Lu Bu can not defend for a long time.

and then intensify the consumption of his military rations.

In this way, Guangling County can be captured.

"If it is, with the edict of the Son of Heaven to recruit Lu Bu, if this person surrenders, I am afraid that he will rebel again in the future, I will not accept it, Bowen, you are in Jiujiang, can't you see why there has been no war in Guangling County, why?"

Xu Zhen nodded with a chuckle, and said bluntly: "The lord wants Lu Bu to surrender." ”

"Not bad! It's like taming a wild horse," Cao Ren immediately shook his heart, and his voice became a little louder, "If Lu Bu really returns, with his original intentions, how can he surrender with peace of mind?" He is loyal to the Han family and the Son of Heaven, and what he wants is also the reputation of the Han family to spread in the world, if he surrenders, sooner or later he will be used by the old ministers of the Han family. ”

Xu Zhen smiled and said with a smile: "However, I don't want Lu Bu, what the lord wants is the eight strong generals under his command, as well as his loyal and brave camp." ”

"These can be left to the eldest brother, but Lu Bu must be forced to Guangling, break the army into the city, and force Lu Bu to death, this person must not stay!"

Cao Ren's demeanor was very serious, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

In his opinion, Lu Bu cannot be left behind, and he has the heart of a tiger and a wolf.

When he was in Chang'an, he had betrayed Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was still his father-in-law.

At this time, Ding Jianyang also took Lu Bu out from the young official and accepted him as a righteous son, preparing to train him as a general's benefactor, and because of Dong Zhuo's co-optation, Ding Jianyang was killed with a halberd, sent people to the head, and led the troops to vote, so as to gain power.

Now, Xu Du has just ended the chaos, although he was suppressed by Cao Cao, but he did tear his face, so that the old ministers of the Han family and the scholars rebelled against Cao Cao and considered it atrocity.

Lu Bu entered the court at this time, even if it was for the princes who were outside, and did not let him enter the Xu capital, but he could rebel at any time.

Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "If the eldest brother comes in person, I know him too well, and he will definitely accept Lu Bu." Once Lu Bu has a request, he will inevitably be soft-hearted, what should he do at that time? ”

"Next, we have to fight against Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, Bowen, do you know what we need most in the face of Yuan Shao?"

Xu Zhen's face was full of humility and sincerity, "What is it?" ”

"Loyalty, the same desire."

"It's not a person who wants to be brave but has a heart for repetition!"

Cao Ren's words today are particularly numerous.

The mood also seems to be quite excited.

Xu Zhen also knew in his heart that if it weren't for the fact that it was extremely important to him, Cao Ren would never rather greet him with a smile on his face, and would immediately lobby him to agree to attack Lu Bu.

The main thing is that if this matter is done by two people, Cao Cao will not be punished at that time, and he can only be rewarded.

If Cao Ren goes to fight alone, it is very likely that once the army is defeated, he will be scolded by Cao Cao for being stupid, and his reputation will not be obvious in the future, and he will find trouble for himself.

"Berwen! You must say yes! I have told you all that I want in my heart! ”

"I promise!"

Xu Zhen clasped his arm tightly and said earnestly, "From the first sentence you just said, I agreed." ”

"Then you didn't say it earlier?!" Cao Ren suddenly blinked his eyes a few times, and his heart was confused for a moment.

It makes my blood boil.

You promise you to say it directly!

"I will definitely help my brother with this, once my brother sends troops, I will immediately lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to the west of Guangling to collect the city, so that Lu Bu can take care of himself."

"He just lost 2,000 war horses, no, it's not just war horses, but even 2,000 elite cavalry, it's definitely not so fast to adjust, brother just send troops!"

"Good!!"

Cao Ren suddenly clenched his fists, and he didn't think much about the previous things, his temperament was already generous, he was generous to his friends, and he was also generous to himself.

After the two agreed verbally, they didn't talk much, and went back directly.

As soon as Cao Ren walked here, Zhuge Liang immediately walked leisurely next to Xu Zhen and muttered: "Jun Hou's luck is getting better and better now." ”

"How?" Xu Zhen glanced at him in surprise.

"You went to rob Lu Bu's horse, and even took in the most powerful general Zhang Liao under your command, how can Lu Bu not take revenge for such a big revenge? It is likely to cause Lu Bujun's crazy attack without any worries and fearless death, but at this time, General Zixiao helped you stand up and prevent the disaster. ”

Xu Zhen: "......"

In this way, luck is a bit good.

"This is called the help of those who have attained the Dao, you know."

Xu Zhen's chin was raised slightly, his expression was amazing, and he chuckled at Zhuge Liang: "He, Lu Bu, is a person who has lost the way and has little help, and everyone will fall into the lower stone." ”

"Master, what exactly is the Tao of this sentence talking about?"

Zhuge Liang asked seriously.

Xu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Covering all, from the rules of the road to the national fortune; As small as Li'er when quarreling, Zhanli naturally has someone to help, and if he loses, he will be chased and scolded by others, which is the so-called general trend in hand, that is, he wants to occupy the side of morality at any time. ”

"That," Zhuge Liang suddenly looked solemn, stared at Xu Zhen's eyes, and said, "If it is, when the Lord and Guoen want to make a choice, how will Master choose." ”

Xu Zhen was stunned.

Do I rub? You're testing me now, aren't you?

You might as well ask Han and Boss Cao directly who I choose.

"When you're in your prime, don't choose."

Xu Zhen said incomprehensibly.

When they are all at their peak, don't make a choice, you must wait for one side to completely lose power, and then the space will naturally become broader, so that it is easier to choose, no matter which side you are, you can have the grace of helping each other.

"What if one side persecuts?"

Zhuge Liang asked again.

It's like Cao Ren today.

Or, more intensely, send troops to beg?!

Xu Zhen sighed deeply, "Then, if you come, you will be safe." ”

"There's a way—no, what does that mean?" Zhuge Liang looked up suspiciously.

Xu Zhen said: "Since they dare to come, they will bury all these people here!" Otherwise, what will I do to strengthen the army? ”

Zhuge Liang: "??? ”

Is that what this means?

My sky, I have read Confucianism for ten years, and I was still a genius in Langya back then, and I have read this sentence more than a thousand times!

What do you mean?!

If it comes, it will be safe?!

Master, what are you teaching Liang?! It's getting outrageous.

……

Guangling.

Upstairs at the city gate.

Lu Bu actually drank in office today.

And it was a grief and binge drinking, and he hit in a rage, kicking and breaking all the cases and door flags.

Another pot was placed in the distance.

Pitched pots all over the ground.

This kind of pastime was used by the scholars to show that they could play with the gambling tule, and Lu Bu learned it since he was a child, but he never played it with the people of the Shi clan.

So today I will play by myself on the tower of the city gate.

At this time, outside the door, Gao Shun knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

And Chen Gongtai was standing inside the door, standing very far away from Lu Bu, after all, he was also afraid of being injured by mistake.

"Bong-first!! Don't drink any more! ”

"Gao Shun's plan is to cheer you up!"

Chen Gong shouted angrily, but it provoked Lu Bu to look at him angrily, and his expression was quite resentful, "Wenyuan is lost!" happened to fall for Xu Zhen's tricks, I said a long time ago, he must have deliberately lured him with grain and grass!! ”

"Gao Shun, you have to persuade me to send troops! Otherwise, how could it have suffered such a heavy blow! ”

"Wen Yuan is a general under my command, and he has led the cavalry for me for many years, and he has never been defeated! I didn't expect to be ambushed by a plan, and now my life and death are unknown! ”

"Xu Bowen!! I'm at odds with you! I'm going to kill this rat! He must not be allowed to survive! ”

Then you come out!

Chen Gong's scalp was numb on the spot, you swore to kill him, why don't you come out to practice day and night, recruit troops and buy horses!

Why did you come out to consult with the generals and ministers, and use strategies to win again!

You drink all day long, and you fall into a state of decadence, do you want to get drunk and kill him in your dreams?!

"Fengxian, since this is the case, you should cheer up immediately and stop punishing General Gao Shun!"

During this period of time, Chen Gong has also been co-opting with those slightly famous internal affairs ministers in Guangling, or threatening, or pleading, so that these people can stabilize and help manage the government first, and take care of the spring plowing and autumn harvest, but unfortunately, it is not that these officials are unwilling.

but the people refused to do it.

They all said that even if they worked, when the harvest was completed in the autumn, they would be robbed by Lu Bu's army to be used as military food, and the people would still starve to death.

He refused to help Lu Bu farm like this, and would rather waste his own soil.

This leaves everyone at a loss for what to do.

After he said this, Lu Bu seemed to be stunned, and then slowly put down the wine jar in his hand, walked to the steps and sat down.

"My wife died."

"My daughter is nowhere to be found, and even Diao Chan no longer sees me, only separated by a wall in the inner courtyard, but there is no longer warmth."

When Chen Gong heard this, his face tightened, and he immediately shouted angrily: "Dignified husband, what are you talking about?!" ”

"No matter how much you fight, you can't beat Cao Cao!"

Lu Bu stared directly at Chen Gong and explained, "Gongtai, you are very talented, but you left Cao Cao, and since then, I have fallen behind everywhere!" The attack on Xu was blocked by Liu Bei, and he was ambushed three times! Although they are all Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, I am here every time! How the heart doesn't hurt! ”

"The Tun army fought sharply, and was attacked by Cao Ren, almost crushing my army, I am a dignified Han Wenhou, Lu Bu in the people, and almost made him a wedding dress for stepping up to fame!!"

"Previously, when you rebelled against Yanzhou, you said that you were foolproof, but you were defeated by Xiahoudun again! Let me run away! ”

"Now I can't move in Guangling, but you Chen Gongtai are traitors to Cao, and you must not be forgiven, you are solicited by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and you will always be in the future!! How am I good! ”

Chen Gong seemed to have been hit hard, stammered his hind legs, and retreated several steps in a row and crashed into the threshold, his face full of incredulity.

You are so indifferent! It's like I haven't made you happy!

He kept raising his hand and pointed at Lu Bu, almost gritting his teeth, and said, "You, you ...... what you say."

"That is to say, because I am here, you are not recruited by the Son of Heaven?!"

"Good, good, what a traitor! That being the case, I'm leaving! ”

Chen Gong immediately turned around, went directly out of the threshold of the city gate tower, went outside the corridor, and turned back to shout angrily in front of the generals: "The prince remembers! Wancheng Zhang Xiu once killed Cao Cao and his beloved son, as well as Xu Zhenai's general Dian Wei, and chased Cao Cao to lose his armor and abandon his armor, and his soul was scattered! ”

"But later, Cao Cao still recruited Zhang Xiu, and had the intention of accepting him as a righteous son, why?!"

"Because! Zhang Xiu is still valuable! ”

This sentence is like a spear, directly projecting Lu Bu's heart.

"Get out!"

Lu Bu shouted loudly in the gatehouse.

……

This trouble made the soldiers of the whole battalion laugh.

People such as Wei Xu, Hao Meng and others felt even more uneasy and resentful.

Because Chen Gong has always been conscientious and conscientious over the years, and when marching and fighting, although there is no trickery, he can gain insight into the enemy's military formation and marching strategy every time, and avoid many dangers for the whole army.

For example, when they were attacked by Cao Ren, if it weren't for Chen Gong's order to take the path, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to escape to Guangling.

But now, for the sake of a dispute of tongues, he quarrels with such hard-working and high-achieving advisers who are also teachers and friends.

Even speaking hurtful words is too impulsive.

"Everyone, let's go and persuade Mr. first?"

Someone made a proposal.

Because of this, someone immediately snorted coldly, "Mr. Gongtai can get out of prison and have his own future." ”

"Why bother to persuade me to come back? Will you let him come back and be angry like this? ”

"And what about you and me?"

"How can you talk about it!?" Gao Shun couldn't listen to it anymore, so he got up and got angry directly.

The people on both sides immediately sneered, "The general of the defeated army, why don't you kneel?" ”

Gao Shun: "......"
