Zhang Miao suddenly slapped the table, and the sound was particularly harsh in the dark and empty room. I saw Zhang Miao gradually stand up, looked at Chen Gong hidden in the darkness opposite, and asked word by word: "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Gong was not in a hurry, and was not affected by Zhang Miao's movements at all, but he also slowly stood up, his eyes shining in the dark, and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhang Miao, you should know better than me what kind of person Lord Cao is, in his heart, the most important thing is not you and me, not Yuan Shao, but the whole ...... World! ”

Speaking of this, although Zhang Miao's face was cloudy, he also nodded, which showed that Chen Gong's words were very correct.

Chen Gong continued: "Lord Zhang Miao, do you think that you are still the one who was more prosperous than Lord Cao and could help him everywhere? All your forces have now been given to Lord Cao, and you are just a worthless friend to him. Lord Cao certainly takes care of you in the old love, but what about Yuan Shao? What Yuan Shao can give to Master Cao, can you give it? ”

"This ......" Zhang Miao hesitated, Chen Gong's words pierced Zhang Miao's heart with a sharp sword, and he couldn't help but begin to calm down and began to analyze what Chen Gong said.

"Yuan Shao is dominant in the north at this time, and he is Lord Cao's most powerful ally, if Lord Cao wants to gain a foothold in this world, he must take care of Yuan Shao...... At this time, Lord Cao's life and death were firmly pinched in Yuan Shao's hands, you said that if Yuan Shao insisted on letting you die, how would Lord Cao choose? ”

Chen Gong's words became sharper and sharper, and he didn't leave room for Zhang Miao anymore, Zhang Miao broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, and his mouth opened wide for a while, not knowing how to continue.

Chen Gong saw that Zhang Miao had been moved by his own words, and slowly added: "Lord Zhang Miao, Lord Cao has committed a heinous crime in Xuzhou, and the princes of the world can't see it, at this time, it is a great opportunity for you to come out!" ”

Zhang Miao still didn't seem to understand, frowned, and asked, "Gongtai, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chen Gong smiled slightly, with an imperceptible coldness in his laughter, and said: "I gave this Yanzhou to Lord Cao, if I can send it out, I will naturally be able to take it back." I thought Master Cao was a benevolent lord, but I didn't expect it...... Alas! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Gong's eyes suddenly turned cold, but with a look of disappointment in the coldness, it can be seen that Chen Gong really wants the people of Yanzhou to be peaceful, and he really wants to seek a master for the world.

Zhang Miao seemed to understand a little and asked, "What do you mean, while Meng De went to Xuzhou at this time, we have to greet ...... Do you welcome other princes to Yanzhou? ”

Chen Gong saw that Zhang Miao finally opened his mind, sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, what Lord Cao did to Xuzhou really disappointed us, besides, you offended Yuan Shao, Lord Cao will eradicate you for Yuan Shao sooner or later, let's sit back and wait, we might as well start first and invite other princes to enter Yanzhou!" ”

Zhang Miao nodded slightly, and seemed to begin to accept this idea, after all, his situation is very passive, Cao Cao's personality Zhang Miao really knows it, although he is also a person who values love and righteousness, but he always puts his own interests first, if Yuan Shao forces Cao Cao to kill himself in the future, Cao Cao will definitely not slack off.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao asked in a low voice: "Gongtai, then do you think it would be better for us to invite someone to Yanzhou?" ”

Chen Gong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then analyzed: "Don't panic, don't panic, and listen to my careful analysis, now the location of our Yanzhou has Yuan Shao in the north, Lu Bu and Chen Yan in the west, and Yuan Shu and Liu Biao in the south. These princes are all territorial borders on us, and they are candidates who can enter Yanzhou. ”

Zhang Miao nodded and continued to listen to Chen Gong's analysis.

Chen Gong said: "But Yuan Shao in the north has an enmity with you, so naturally you can't choose him; Yuan Shu and Liu Biao in the south were originally people with big families, and if they were allowed to get Yanzhou, I am afraid they would not pay attention to it. What's more, these two people have limited combat capabilities, and I'm afraid they are not Cao Cao's opponents......"

Speaking of which, Zhang Miao even agreed, after all, Cao Cao beat Yuan Shu not long ago, and almost broke up Yuan Shu.

Chen Gong said: "In this case, we can only choose one of the two people, Lu Bu and Chen Yan." Lu Bu has always been brave, known as a flying general, at this time is experiencing misfortune, if he can get Yanzhou, he will definitely pay great attention to it, not to mention that Lu Bu's combat ability has always been extremely strong, if it were not for his self-pride, I am afraid he would not have ended up where he is today. ”

Zhang Miao nodded in agreement, but he still seemed to be a little puzzled by Chen Gong's direct exclusion of another option, Chen Yan asked: "That Chen Yan is the most popular person around the Son of Heaven at this time, and he seems to be able to recruit good fighters, why don't you choose him?" ”

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment and said, "This person is very suitable...... It's just ......"

Zhang Miao urged: "It's just what? ”

Chen Gong replied: "It's just that it seems to have more ideas." ”

Zhang Miao was a little puzzled, frowned, and said, "Isn't it a bad idea?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head and replied, "What I need is a figure who can protect Yanzhou from being invaded by careerists, not a careerist." ”

Zhang Miao didn't understand a little, but he knew that Chen Gong naturally had Chen Gong's own ideas, so he shook his head and didn't ask any more. The two had already made up their minds, so they quietly sent envoys to Lu Bujun.

Chen Gong looked at the back of the envoy and whispered to himself: "I chose Cao Cao before, I thought that the people would be peaceful, but I didn't expect it to harm the people...... Now, it's better to choose a brave and unscrupulous person, use him, deceive him, or at least do everything according to my wishes......"

……

On the Great Plains of Xuzhou, Cao Cao was riding on a horse, looking at Pengcheng not far away. Along the way, Cao Cao's army marched forward and conquered dozens of cities, and slaughtered them all, leaving no chickens and dogs!

Suddenly, a cavalryman galloped in the distance, seemingly bringing something important.

Cao Cao looked back, but saw that the person who came was his eldest son Cao Ang.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao's expression was flat, not sad or happy, not at all like a person who avenged his father.

Cao Ang took out a note from his arms, handed it over with both hands, and said, "Father, Mr. Xun Yu has sent a letter again." ”

Cao Cao snorted, his voice was soft but powerful, and he whispered: "Letter, letter, is nothing more than persuading me not to slaughter the city again." Isn't it? ”

Before Cao Cao's words fell, a pair of eyes were already staring sharply at Cao Ang, as if Cao Ang was not Cao Ang, but the person who wrote the letter: Xun Yu.

Cao Ang was stared at by Cao Cao, and immediately nodded hurriedly and said: "Father, what Mr. Xun Yu said is indeed good, I hope my father will think twice!" ”

Cao Cao sneered and said in a low voice, "Think twice? If I hadn't thought twice, how could I have given the order to slaughter the city? Do you think your father is such a cruel and murderous person?! ”
