Zang Ba smiled and said, "Yes, I guess the generals have already understood, right?" It's just that now Lu Bu is in danger, surrounded by Cao Cao in Puyang, I don't know who the two of them are competing for, who wins and who loses? ”

Chen Yan said: "At this time, Lu Bu is my Lord Taishan, if he is in danger, I will definitely save him." ”

Speaking of this, Zang Ba sighed and said: "This is exactly the consideration of the family teacher, he is worried that the alliance between you and Lu Bu will ruin his plan, and now even if Lu Bu is killed, his subordinates will definitely follow General Chen, Zuo Ci's wishful thinking is in vain, and the family teacher is worried that he will break his wrist and completely abandon Lu Bu and turn to others." ”

Chen Yan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "I didn't think of this, so what does General Zang Ba plan to do now?" ”

Zang Ba sighed: "My Tun army Kaiyang, the army is weak, it is nothing, and now Xuzhou Tao Gong is seriously ill, although I have the heart to help General Chen, but I have a weak heart, and Tao Gong is kind to me, I really can't bear to see Tao Gong's hard work all his life fall into the hands of outsiders." ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he immediately reacted in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: "It's finally time to get to the point." He immediately asked: "Outsider, is the general referring to Liu Bei?" ”

Zang Ba was shocked when he heard this, and seemed to be surprised by Chen Yan's ability to judge, and immediately asked: "I don't want General Chen Yan to be so sharp, yes, now that Tao Gong is critically ill, many advisors and elders in Xuzhou City are full of praise for Liu Bei, if nothing else, Xuzhou may fall into Liu Bei's hands soon." ”

Although Chen Yan was expected, he also had many doubts about this matter, and asked: "Liu Xuande is said to be a relative of the Han family, and he has always been benevolent and righteous in the four seas, when Beihai was besieged, Liu Xuande led troops to rescue, and now Xuzhou was slaughtered, he is even more helpful, such a benevolent and righteous move, I am afraid it shows that he is an upright person!" ”

Zang Ba shook his head and sighed: "Of course, I know that Liu Bei is a chivalrous man, but Xuzhou is the foundation of Tao Gong's hard work, and now although Tao Gong is seriously ill, he is still the master of one party. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yan has been able to guess a rough idea, now I am afraid that Tao Qian is seriously ill and is no longer able to participate in political affairs, and the big clans in Xuzhou saw that Tao Qian was terminally ill, so they began to discuss the matter of the next Xuzhou Mu, Liu Bei Xia Gu Danxin is a good candidate for the next Xuzhou Mu, but Zang Ba feels that this matter has always to be decided by Tao Qian.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan asked, "So what does the general want Chen to do?" ”

The problem is that Zang Ba came all the way alone, definitely not only to report the conspiracy of the Danding Sect and the situation in Xuzhou, he must have asked for others, or he had a plan in his heart, so he will set off, with the identity and status of Zang Ba, although he dare not say that he is on an equal footing with Chen Yan, but at least he is also a figure who can dominate one side, he came to see Chen Yan alone, and he must have his considerations.

Zang Ba heard this, smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, Ming people don't do dark things, Tao Gong is kind to me, although he is seriously ill today, he is always the lord of Xuzhou, I don't ask for much, I just want General Chen to go to the Son of Heaven, and ask the Son of Heaven to order me to enter Xuzhou to defend Tao Gong from villains!" ”

"Oh!" When Chen Yan heard this, he suddenly understood something. Zang Ba set almost good, reasonable, after talking for a long time, it seems that it is all for Chen Yan's consideration, but in fact he is playing sloppy, and now Zang Ba said that he wants to enter Xuzhou to rescue Tao Qian, which sounds good, but in fact, he wants to use Chen Yan's help to compete with Liu Bei for Xuzhou!

Chen Yan is not a stupid person, although Zang Ba's words are very technical, but Chen Yan always heard his true intentions. Now that Liu Bei has entered Xuzhou, he has received the support of many heroes and veterans in Xuzhou, and it is basically certain that he is the next ruler of Xuzhou. And if Zang Ba wants to grab food, he can only rely on Chen Yan's help.

Chen Yan frowned, groaned slightly, and said: "The general is tired from the journey, you might as well go and rest first, we will discuss this matter tomorrow, and I will definitely give the general a clear answer at that time." ”

Zang Ba nodded and said, "In this case, there is General Lao Chen, and the last general would like to greet you on behalf of my division." ”

Chen Yan secretly shuddered in his heart, yes, this Zang Ba is still Yu Ji's disciple, if he doesn't form an alliance with him, then it is equivalent to not giving Yu Ji face. He was saved by Yu Ji, but now he doesn't help other people's disciples, this kind of thing is really not righteous.

Zang Ba is not only superb in martial arts, but also seems to be very scheming, and he is actually calculating Chen Yan step by step, which is really shocking.

He got up leisurely, gave Chen Yan a long look, and turned to leave.

Chen Yan waited for him to go away, suddenly summoned everyone over, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you all hear what he said just now?" ”

Jia Xu had a gloomy face and said in a low voice: "Zang Ba's intention is obvious, that is, he wants the lord to support him to sit in the position of the next Xuzhou pastor. ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Jia Xu, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu waved his hands and said slowly: "Zang Ba has courage, strength, and is a good ally, but now Liu Bei has entered Xuzhou, and has received the support of the local heroes, and he is also a brave general like Yu Zhang Fei, if you talk about it, Zang Ba has no chance of winning." ”

Everyone nodded, and it can be seen that Jia Xu's words are very arbitrary.

Jia Xu said again: "Zang Ba's current plan is nothing more than to use the brand of the Son of Heaven to enter Xuzhou in a grand manner, and then rely on his old friendship with Tao Qian to get the place of Xuzhou." It's just that if the prestige of today's son is insufficient, although we can let the Son of Heaven draw up an edict, but when this edict arrives in Xuzhou, what kind of power it is, and whether Liu Bei can give up Xuzhou to him, that is an unknown number. ”

At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly said: "I thought it wasn't true. ”

Crowd: "Oh? With a sigh, they all looked at Guo Jia.

I only heard Guo Jia say: "After Liu Bei was known as the King of Zhongshan Jing, he has always been the signboard of the royal family, since this is the case, then the words of the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei must pay more attention than anyone else, if we can obtain the edict of the Son of Heaven, then Liu Bei will definitely follow it, so Zang Ba's move is very subtle, it can be described as a wonderful strategy!" ”

Chen Yan listened to Guo Jia's words, and then suddenly said: "Not bad, not bad!" Now although Liu Bei has been stationed in Xuzhou, he is still walking around with the golden signboard of the Han family, so he will definitely not listen to the words of the Son of Heaven, so we can easily manipulate Liu Bei now that we support the Son of Heaven? ”

Guo Jia nodded and smiled: "Exactly." ”
