Chapter 338: Internal and External Troubles
As soon as he entered the city, Li Su took off his armor and fell heavily to the ground, shouting angrily: "What about Chen Gong? Where is Chen Gong?! ”
It can be seen that although Li Su has a ghost in his heart, he is still furious about what Chen Gong has done. This is also reasonable, after all, Chen Gong's order almost killed Li Su.
Lu Bu saw that Li Su was angry, but he was also acting normally, he immediately strode forward, patted Li Su on the shoulder, and said: "Don't be angry, brother, Chen Gong has been tied up by me, this guy is actually in charge of his own affairs, and he almost killed you, it is really infuriating, when we defeat Cao Cao, it is not too late to bring him to justice!" ”
Li Su's eyes widened angrily, and he said angrily: "This guy almost killed me, and he must be killed!" ”
Although Lu Bu felt in his heart that Chen Gong's sin was not to death, he could only nod slightly when he saw that Li Su was angry, which could be regarded as appeasing Li Su's emotions.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and only one soldier shouted loudly: "General Zhang Miao, you wait first, General Lu Bu has just returned from the expedition and is resting!" ”
"General Zhang Miao! General Zhang Miao! ”
Lu Bu and Li Su glanced at each other, both knew that this was Chen Gong's friend Zhang Miao coming, in fact, the entire Yanzhou was given to Lu Bu by Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, these two people should be regarded as Lu Bu's great benefactors, but now that Lu Bu has won Yanzhou, he doesn't care too much about these two benefactors.
Sure enough, after a commotion, I saw a heroic general dressed in a military uniform and walk in with his head held high. He was so angry that he didn't give Lu Bu face at all, it was Zhang Miao who came.
Zhang Miao saw Lu Bu and Li Su, without saying a word, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Lu Bu! What do you mean? Why did Mr. Gongtai go to jail? ”
Seeing that Zhang Miao didn't take himself in his eyes at all, Lu Bu sneered, and was also enraged.
And Li Su didn't even look at Zhang Miao, at this time, Zhang Miao's entire military power had almost been transferred to Lu Bu, and there were no soldiers in his hands, so he naturally lost a little confidence when he spoke.
When Zhang Miao saw Lu Bu and Li Su's reactions, he was even more furious, and opened his mouth to scold: "Okay, you are a ruthless and unrighteous person, when you were in exile, if it weren't for me and Mr. Gongtai, how could you enter Yanzhou?" Now that you have Yanzhou, do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? How can there be such a good thing in the world?! ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he seemed to feel a little guilty, but he still had a stubborn expression, and said: "Zhang Miao, today Chen Gong refused to open the city gate for my brother, causing General Li Su to almost die at the hands of Cao Cao, what do you think is the difference between such an act and a beast?" ”
When Zhang Miao heard this, he was immediately surprised, he only knew that Lu Bu had tied up Chen Gong and put him in prison, but he didn't know that the original cause was Chen Gong's refusal to open the city gate for Li Su.
Zhang Miao became a little unreasonable after learning about this, his arrogance dropped slightly, and he said slowly: "This ...... Mr. Gongtai has always been familiar with the importance of doing things, and he will never do this for no reason. ”
Li Su snorted coldly at this time, and said in a very harsh tone: "Familiar with the weight? I think what you have to do at this time is not to question me and General Lu Bu, but to go to the dungeon and ask your Mr. Gongtai, right? ”
When Zhang Miao heard this, he was speechless for a moment. After being silent for a long time, his face turned red, and finally he withdrew the long sword from his waist and said, "Okay, then I'll go and ask clearly, if Mr. Gongtai accepts the grievance, I will never tolerate it!" ”
released cruel words, and Zhang Miaofei left. Lu Bu and Li Su looked at Zhang Miao's back, and their eyes showed a scorching and fierce light!
The dungeon was dimly lit, and the entire cramped space was filled with a fishy smell......
The smell seems to be due to the lack of ventilation all year round, coupled with the fact that the ground is littered with excrement and blood.
This is the dungeon, a hellish existence, and in this small space, Chen Gong sat on the ground with a calm face.
His eyes were full of calmness, as if the person being held here was not himself, and the stench filled his nose, but he didn't care.
Suddenly, a ray of light came from the dungeon, and this light brought a touch of warmth to this cold dungeon, which was extremely dark, and along with this light, there was a sound of footsteps.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but Chen Gong's eyes were still like ancient wells, without the slightest joy, anger and sorrow.
"Mr. Gongtai! Mr. Gongtai! ”
Zhang Miao's familiar voice came, which seemed particularly kind in this terrifying hell, Chen Gong slowly raised his head, and a trace of joy was added to his eyes.
After a short time, Zhang Miao came to the cell where Chen Gong was held, and through the iron railing of the cell, Zhang Miao saw Chen Gong at this time.
This wise man, who has always been calm and spicy, has now become a prisoner, with a face that seems to be several years old, and his hair is stained with a lot of filth, which makes people see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts.
"General Zhang Miao, why are you here?"
Chen Gong asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that Lu Bu will find out and be implicated?" ”
Zhang Miao shook his head and said with a smile: "The guards here are all my old subordinates, so it is very convenient for me to come in, Gongtai, Lu Bu is ungrateful, how can he take revenge!" ”
When Chen Gong heard this, he sighed and remained silent.
Zhang Miao continued: "I heard that you didn't let Li Su enter the city, so you angered Lu Bu, what's going on? ”
Chen Gong sneered: "General Zhang Miao, Lu Bu is invincible in the world, his martial arts are superb, and the cavalry team under his command is even more brave, but he has been defeated by Cao Cao four times in a row before, don't you think it's strange?" ”
When Zhang Miao heard this, his eyes rolled, and he felt that it was indeed strange, but he couldn't think of anything strange.
Chen Gong said slowly: "This is because some of Lu Bu's subordinates released water to Cao Cao. ”
"Drain the water?!" When Zhang Miao heard this, he was even more surprised. The soldiers under Lu Bu's command are all people who have followed Lu Bu for many years, but now they have internal ghosts, how can this be believed? I'm afraid that if this sentence wasn't what Chen Gong said, Zhang Miao would definitely think that the person who said this sentence was crazy.
Chen Gong saw Zhang Miao's expression and knew that he must not believe it, so he immediately said slowly: "I just saw the deployment of Li Su's army on the city tower, in my experience, Li Su is definitely suspected of releasing water, with his troops, he was beaten all over the ground by Cao Cao within an hour, if it wasn't for the release of water, how could he lose so quickly?" ”
Zhang Miao suddenly realized: "That's why you deliberately didn't open the city gate, wanting to see what Li Su's true strength was?" ”
Chen Gong said: "That's right! Who knew that someone actually reported Lu Bu, although Lu Bu was ruthless, but after all, he was not bad to his brother, and when he saw that I almost killed Li Su, he was so angry and put me in prison...... Alas...... I don't blame him. ”
Zhang Miao frowned and said, "Then what should I do now?" Lu Bu obviously trusts Li Su more than he trusts us, can we just watch Lu Bu being betrayed by his men?! ”
