Chen Zhou went home and spent the night with his daughters-in-law.

Early the next morning, I went to visit Cao Cao.

"Watari is coming!"

Cao Cao warmly welcomed him to sit down, and said, "Your things in Lujiang have been done beautifully, haha...... It's easy, let Liu Bei and Sun Quan scramble, and help us get a general who can lead the navy, as well as a hundred warships, not bad! ”

Chen Zhou said modestly: "It's just a coincidence, I happen to do so much, the main thing is that they keep sending me opportunities." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It can only be said that it is Sun Quan and Liu Bei's bad luck." ”

Chen Zhou asked, "Xu Shu and Pang Tong, how are they doing now?" ”

For Pang Tong, he had no hope.

But Xu Shu, if you want to accept it, it is still possible.

"Xu Shu was willing to submit and was persuaded by Wen Ruo."

Cao Cao said: "But it was Du Zhi who said a lot to him in advance, which touched his mind, and Wen Ruo was able to succeed." As for Pang Tong, he is a bit stubborn, saying that he is willing to assist us, but in fact he does nothing. ”

"What does Watari think?"

He asked rhetorically.

Chen Zhou said: "Pang is united to assist Liu Bei, or what is Mr. Shuijing's arrangement, if you want to persuade him, it is more difficult, and I don't have confidence, it is better to continue to put him under house arrest, and still don't let him meet Xu Shu." The lord really felt that it was inappropriate, so he could learn from Liu Bei and think of a way to let him die for no reason. ”

Since it can't be used by me, then this person is not qualified to live.

If you live, it will be possible, and then go to the enemy's side.

One knife kills, one hundred.

Cruelty is a little cruel, but for the sake of the long term, it is nothing.

Troubled times are inherently cruel.

"It's a pity to kill it."

Cao Cao was still reluctant.

Although Pang Tong did not give him advice, after Xun Yu's temptation, it was certain that Pang Tong was a capable person.

rashly killed, really reluctant.

Chen Zhou said: "Whether to kill or not depends on how the lord arranges." If the lord is confident that he can control him, and feels pity, then he will remain under house arrest until we calm the world and see what he thinks in his heart. ”

This approach is in line with Cao Cao's heart.

"I'll think about it again."

Cao Cao said.

Chen Zhou said again: "Recently in Xudu, there shouldn't be anything special, right?" If not, I'm going to go back and lie flat. ”

Cao Cao knew that Chen Zhou didn't want to work, so he was very envious of Chen Zhou's casualness, and said: "Go back, I've been in Lujiang for so long, I've worked hard for you." ”

Chen Zhou shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Such hard work, you can still have merit, and the lord can give me a little more in the future." ”

Is it hard?

Not really.

Most of the time in Lujiang is playing, and even he has gained weight.

Farewell to Cao Cao, Chen Zhou left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When he got outside, he didn't know what to do, so he went to Taixue, saw that Cao Ang was also here, chatted with Cao Ang about other things, and then went to see the library pavilion, and soon he could do nothing again.

——

Xiangyang.

Chen Gong has finally returned.

helped Han Sui plan everything, and then he embarked on the return journey.

On the way, you have to pass through Cao Cao's territory, and you need to be very careful to avoid all kinds of risks of being discovered, so that you can pass through the Qinling Mountains, come out of Wuguan, and return to Xiangyang.

It takes a long time.

At this time, Xiangyang has completely changed.

Liu Qi's brothers were gone, Liu Bei successfully got Jingzhou, and most of the wealthy families were obedient.

When Chen Gong got these news, he was also excited, killing Liu Qi was his plan, and he could finally make meritorious contributions.

In addition, this time he also came back with meritorious service, which can probably offset Xu Shu's mistake in that incident.

When entering the city, first go to the governor's house.

This mansion is now occupied by Liu Bei.

Hearing that Chen Gong was back, Liu Bei went out to greet him, and he was still very enthusiastic.

"Gongtai!"

When Liu Bei saw the dusty Chen Palace, he immediately exerted his personality charm, shushed the cold and warmed up for a while, in order to show his respect for the Chen Palace, and then brought people to the meeting hall.

Zhuge Liang learned that Chen Gong was back, and he also rushed over immediately.

"Gongtai, what's wrong?"

Zhuge Liang was the first to ask.

Chen Gong smiled confidently: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" I took so long to come back, mainly to help Han Sui plan a lot of follow-up things, this year may not be able to realize the plan, but next spring, Liangzhou will definitely be chaotic, and Yongzhou may also be chaotic. ”

They want to develop time, don't you just win it out.

Liu Bei relaxed and said, "It's hard work." ”

Chen Gongzuo said: "I did this in order to make meritorious contributions, and the losses caused to the lord before can finally be made up, thank you lord for giving me the opportunity." ”

Liu Bei's face was full of indifference, and he shook his head and said: "The previous things were all accidents, so we won't mention it." Kong Ming, what should we do next? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Pay close attention to the situation in Liangzhou, especially next year, if there is turmoil, if necessary, we can also give Han Sui some more strategic help, and ......"

He thought for a while and continued: "Half a month ago, I went to visit Uncle Huang, he intended to match me and his daughter Yueying, I have also seen Yueying, although she is not a country and a city, but it is my heart, we fell in love at first sight." I chatted with Yueying for two days, and I was surprised to find out that she was proficient in the manufacture of mechanisms, and also made a repeater that could fire crossbow arrows continuously, as well as many other weapons, and it just so happened that I also had a lot of research in this area, and I would try my best to use these weapons in the army. ”

"Really?"

Liu Bei said in surprise.

I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be okay and bring such a surprise to himself.

Zhuge Liang nodded, indicating that it was true, and said: "Linfu County Ling Xiang Lang, is my senior brother when I was studying by Mr. Shuijing's side, although his ability is not as good as me and Shiyuan, but he can be used by the lord, I have written to tell the senior brother, and I also ask the lord to lower the order and let him come to Xiangyang to serve." ”

Hearing that it was Mr. Shuijing's doorman again, Liu Bei was full of expectations for Xiang Lang: "I'll go and pass the transfer order later." ”

Although it is not as powerful as the Wolong Phoenix Chick, it should be able to keep up with Xu Shu.

almost has Xu Shu's ability, and for him, it is enough.

Mr. Shui Jing is really powerful, there are so many disciples, and the most important thing is that these disciples are willing to help him help the Han family.

That's great!

Even Chen Gong expressed envy when he saw this, and felt that the background behind Zhuge Liang was very profound.

When he was in Yanzhou, his heritage could also be so profound.

It's just that the Yanzhou rebellion failed, and their local wealthy clan was almost cleaned up by Cao Cao.

For example, Zhang Miao and others were basically wiped out, and now that I think about it, it's a pity and hateful, that is the hatred of Cao Cao.

"Thank you Kong Ming, you have done so much for me!"

Liu Bei solemnly saluted.

This is also the salutation he should do.

Zhuge Liang got up, turned sideways slightly, didn't dare to accept such a big gift, and said, "The lord still has one last thing to do." ”

Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming, please speak!" ”

Zhuge Liang slowly said two words: "Training!" ”
