After Chen Deng and Jian Yong saw Liu Bei's secret letter, they hurried to see Zhuge Jin outside Picheng.

When several people met for the first time, their first impression was a little uncomfortable, and they seemed to be very unaccustomed to each other's appearance.

Chen Deng is a middle-aged man in his early thirties with fine skin and white flesh, and the apple muscles on his cheeks are slightly convex, and he looks very weak.

Jian Yong is a fat man with a short beard and a wide jaw, which gives people the feeling of the boss of Buckingham in "Hurricane" at a glance.

Zhuge Jin is more than eight feet tall, and his instrument is lofty, but his face, which is slightly longer than Wang Leehomin Jincheng Wu, can be regarded as "strange people have their own differences".

Liu Bei roughly mentioned in his letter that this person had made a lot of contributions to him, and Chen Deng did not dare to underestimate the other party's talent.

And Jian Yong quickly adjusted his mentality and made a big salute:

"The lord was able to turn defeat into victory in Huaiyin and attack Guangling, thanks to Mr. Cunning, Yong was ashamed that he could not share the joys and sorrows with the princes."

He is Liu Bei's hair, and he couldn't carry the hardest days together, so of course he felt guilty in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhuge Jin also knew the situation and enlightened: "Xianhe doesn't have to be like this, aren't you captured." Before I came, Xuan Degong said: For those who have to fall into Pi, it is he who is sorry for you, not that you are sorry for him.

Lu Bu's jackal nature, Yide is still unable to resist the enemy, how can he ask the civil officials to bend rather than bend? It's time to protect yourself. ”

Jian Yong was quite moved, and added an explanation:

"Although I was captured, Lu Bu's supervision was not too strict, so I should try to get out as soon as possible. But I misjudged for a while, and I was afraid that the lord would be more auspicious this time, and if he went, he would be in danger again, so I wanted to wait and see. Unexpectedly, it was Mr. who turned the tide. ”

Jian Yong also explained why he didn't return to Liu Bei in the first place - it was because he knew Liu Bei too well that it was estimated that the whole army would be wiped out this time.

He didn't want to suffer twice and suffer two sins, and he was very sure of Liu Bei's ability to escape, so he wanted to wait for Liu Bei to settle down before going to vote.

Originally, it was not wrong for him to choose this way in history - but now he killed Zhuge Jin halfway and changed his life against the sky.

turned the game that was originally wiped out by the team into "anti-five kills plus snatching Double Dragon".

This caused Jian Yong, who returned to the spring water in advance to hang up and wait for his teammates to be resurrected, to become very embarrassed.

Now that he finally said it, Zhuge Jin also comforted him not to think about it, Xuande Gong is not that kind of person, and he doesn't care.

For Liu Bei, as long as his subordinates didn't vote, they just hung up in the spring for a while, it was not a matter and could be forgiven.

Even if he really voted, as long as it was a special circumstance like Huang Quan, it was possible to forgive.

Jian Yong and Chen Deng were finally inexplicably grateful, and their hearts became more and more guilty.

Jian Yong immediately said that he had now returned to the team.

As for Chen Deng, although he failed to return to Liu Bei in history, it is not possible to talk about the severance of righteousness - many people in later generations have turned the cause of the effect, because Chen Deng has changed the master several times, and he describes him as "a pure local interest in Xuzhou, whoever can become the master will help whoever he does".

But Zhuge Jin felt that this view was slightly unfair.

Chen Deng's allegiance to Liu Bei and later to Cao Cao should be sincere.

He was loyal to Liu Bei at first, of course, because Liu Bei saved Xuzhou, and Emperor Xian had not yet returned to the east at that time.

Later, Cao Cao was accepted because Cao Cao was no longer the Cao Cao of three years ago, he already represented the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and Cao Cao's rule was more orthodox than Lu Bu.

Only for Lu Bu, Chen Deng can't talk about sincere loyalty from beginning to end, but this is no problem-

When Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he did not touch any righteous name at all. It is not the invitation of the state pastor to protect the territory and the people; Nor does it represent the Son of Heaven and patrol the realm; That is pure force snatching.

It can only be said that many people in later generations underestimated the role of "the righteous name of the imperial court" in the first four years of Jian'an (196~199).

Before the edict incident, "obeying the call of the imperial court" was not a bad thing, Liu Bei, Chen Deng, and Sun Ce all listened to it. Many of their behaviors that are regarded as "betraying the master" by later generations are in fact not counted at all - how can obeying the court be regarded as betrayal?

Even on the question of "whether Cao Cao can be regarded as a thief", it should be viewed in two paragraphs.

Cao Cao, who had just been held hostage to the emperor, could only say that he was authoritarian, had a rough style, and killed the parliamentarians to isolate his speech. After this key historical node, it can be regarded as completely spread.

……

Zhuge Jin fully expressed Liu Bei's kindness to Jian Yong and Chen Deng.

Seeing that Chen Dengguo was a little ashamed, he seemed to be wavering and trying to make up his mind.

Zhuge Jin was ready to push it, and took out one of the conditions that he had discussed with Liu Bei before, and completely took down Chen Deng:

"Brother Yuanlong, you are from Huaipu County, Huaipu is still in the hands of Xuande Gong. Your fathers and fellow villagers are still the people under the rule of Xuande Gong, why don't you abandon the secret and report to the court. ”

The Huaipu County mentioned by Zhuge Jin, those who know the history of the war a while ago will not be unfamiliar with Huaipu - Huaipu is on the bank of the Huai River, in the lower reaches of Huaiyin and the upper reaches of Haixi.

Before, on the way to Haixi with Zhang Fei, he was discovered by Yuan Jun's Lei Bobu, so he asked Shiren to withdraw to Huaipu with the abandoned ship.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin's other butterfly effect of helping Liu Bei defend and take Guangling can be regarded as revealed.

Even if Chen Deng is really a "pure local interest", then Liu Bei is still standing in a whole county and a few counties in Xuzhou, and his heels are very stable, including Chen Deng's hometown.

In this case, the probability of pulling Chen Deng back has greatly increased.

Liu Bei, who lost all of Xuzhou's territory and was homeless at the same time in history, is not a concept at all.

Chen Deng was really moved, but he thought carefully, and after thinking about it, he still put forward a few difficulties:

"Xuande is benevolent and righteous to benefit the people, how can Deng not know, Deng is also willing to serve him. It's just that at present, the official positions of my father and I are all officially canonized by the imperial court, and we also need to serve in Xiapi.

If you rashly abandon the official and follow Xuande Gong, although it is in line with private morality, you are afraid that you will fall into the notoriety of being disloyal to the imperial court. And my father is old, and he runs away privately, for fear of causing trouble. ”

Chen Deng's original position in Xuzhou was the "Captain of the Dian Agricultural School". A few months ago, when Cao Cao sent people to Xuzhou to deliver the edict and confer the title of General Zhendong to Liu Bei, he also posthumously recognized the positions of several high-ranking officials in Xuzhou, so they are now all officials of the imperial court.

Fortunately, Zhuge Jin was prepared:

"Xuande Gong and his brother have been friends for several years, how can they not know the difficulties of their brother? Therefore, he had already thought that in order to protect Yuanlong's brother Yu Lingzun, he would not let you abandon Lu Bu and flee directly.

On the contrary, he also hoped that Brother Yuanlong would take the initiative to ask Lu Bu to let you send an envoy to the court and ask for merit for Lu Bu. As long as Lu Bu sends you to Xuchang, the court will naturally give you another official position, and you will be able to get away with it-

There is a seal here, which is asked by Xuande Gong for his brother, and at the same time, he also asks Lu Bu for the seal. After we finish our work here in Xiapi and reconcile with Lu Bu, we can go to Xuchang together. Xuande Gong's cousin brother is Guangling Taishou, and Lu Bu is the assassin of Xuzhou. ”

Zhuge Jin asked Liu Bei to write like this, of course, it makes sense. Chen Deng is a native of Huaipu County, and in the original history, Cao Cao later also named Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling, the purpose of which was to let Chen Deng help him get Lu Bu as an internal officer, and later let Chen Deng defend Sun Ce.

Since Cao Cao would have been inclined to seal it like this, it would be better for Liu Bei to do this favor.

And now in this time and space, Liu Bei has also really controlled Guangling County, and this favor is really only Liu Bei can do.

If Cao Cao indiscriminately seals others, it is estimated that he will not be able to take office, and he will be obstructed by various accidents halfway.

When Chen Deng heard this, he was so shocked that he was so shocked that tears fell: "Xuande Gong is now only left in Guangling, but he wants to show me as Guangling's Taishou?!" This ......"

"What? Are you worried that Xuande Gong is homeless? Rest assured, he is the general of Zhendong, and the general of Zhendong naturally has his shogunate town, and he did not say that it cannot be located on the boundary of Guangling County.

Xuande Gong thought to himself that his staff did not have the talent to govern the place, so wouldn't it be appropriate to ask Brother Yuanlong to govern a county? Zhuge Jin analyzed it as a matter of course.

If he can get back all his family members, achieve peace on the northern front for a year or two, and reap some other benefits, how can Liu Bei be reluctant to hold a civil official position.

Anyway, Guangling's territory is still Liu Bei's, and he just delegated the governance to Taishou.

Chen Deng was finally completely shocked.

He only felt that his lips were a little chapped and his throat was a little sticky, and after thinking about it for a long time, he asked the last point that he felt was risky:

"Xuan Degong is so magnanimous, I am really ashamed. It's just that if you want to deceive Lu Bu in this matter, it is still very difficult - whether the performance is approved by the imperial court or not, the authority lies with Cao Cao. If you want to be an official, you must always have merit.

You can't use Lu Bu's sneak attack to succeed in Pi, so he will give him the history of Xuzhou Assassin and even the state pastor, right? Where is the majesty of the court then?

Isn't it true that 'only the strong soldiers and horses in the state and county can get it', and there is no orthodoxy and justice at all? Even if it was just for this, Cao Cao would not be allowed to play.

Although Lu Bu had no plan, Chen Gong beside him must have seen that this bargaining chip was difficult to cash. Even if I pretend to think about Lu Bu, it is impossible to convince Lu Bu that he can be granted by the imperial court. ”

Chen Deng said while pondering repeatedly. I only feel that this kind of persuasion has exceeded the limit of human intelligence, even if Zhang Yi and Su Qin are reincarnated, it is useless.

This kind of condition is simply talking nonsense with open eyes, who will believe that you can fulfill it!

However, just when Chen Deng felt that it was absolutely impossible, Zhuge Jin spoke again:

"How could it not be? Isn't Lu Bu's capture of Xiapi a great achievement for the imperial court? It's all about how you describe it...... Just do that......"

Zhuge Jin whispered a few words in his ear, and Chen Deng's pupils instantly dimmed a few times, and then took a step back, staring at him with ghostly eyes.

After a long time, Chen Dengcai almost suffocated because "breathing is controlled by the pectoral muscles, which belong to the skeletal muscles, and is governed by the brain and sympathetic nerves".

Speaking of human words, he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe.

Chen Dengda gasped a few times, let out a long breath of turbid breath in his chest, and sighed weakly: "Today, Mr. Fang Zhi was able to turn things around and come back to life during the Battle of Guangling. I, it's better to do it. ”
