Chapter 584: Chen's Father and Son
The moon shadow in the woods is mottled, and the whole forest has fallen into a very quiet environment, the old and the young are walking carefully in the woods one after the other, their pace is not fast, but it is very steady, it can be seen that the hearts of the two people are full of vigilance.
Both of them pressed their right hands on the hilt of the long sword at their waists, which showed that this forest was not a safe place for them, and I am afraid that at this time, these two people did not know what was waiting for them in front of them.
Suddenly, there was a sudden thudding sound in the woods in front of them, and both of them were startled, and then immediately stopped, drew the long sword at their waists, and stared at the front with two pairs of eyes very vigilantly.
"Old friend, it's been a long time since we met."
A very young voice suddenly came from the distance, and when the old and young heard this voice, they seemed to relax their vigilance at once, and the long sword in their hands was gradually put down.
Suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and I saw a knight riding out of the woods, this knight was young and heroic, dressed in military uniform, it was Mi Fang in Chen Yan's army.
When Mi Fang arrived in front of the old man and the young man, he immediately turned over and dismounted, gave a salute, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jue, Yuanlong, you two are so late." ”
It turned out that the old man and the young were Chen Qi and Chen Deng, who surrendered to Cao Cao when they were in Xiapi, and the two saw the old man Mi Fang, and their hearts were happy and melancholy.
The joy is that the old friends are together, but the melancholy is that the camps to which the two sides belong are completely different at this time.
Mi Fang didn't seem to have this consideration, he looked at Chen Qi and Chen Deng, and said with a smile: "Two, I don't know how Cao Ying has been doing for a while?" ”
Chen Qi was scheming, he could hear that there seemed to be some sarcasm in Mi Fang's words, so he immediately shook his head and didn't speak. And Chen Deng obviously didn't have such a good self-cultivation, so he immediately snorted and said: "Mi Fang, I saw that our old friends in Xuzhou only came out to meet you, and now you are sarcastic to me as soon as we meet, what is your intention?" ”
Mi Fang pretended not to know, shook her head and said, "Huh? Where did Yuan Long say this? At this time, although Cao Cao is not the overlord of the world, after all, he is better than Lu Bu who died in Xiapi, right? It's better for you to take refuge in Cao Cao at this time than to wait for death under Lu Bu, right? ”
Mi Fang insisted on saying this, which really made Chen Deng a little puzzled, wondering whether Mi Fang really felt that he was mixing well under Cao Cao, or whether he deliberately wanted to sarcastically mock himself.
In fact, after Chen Deng and Chen Qi surrendered to Cao Cao, they were very bad in Cao Cao's army. First, both of them are famous families in Xuzhou, and when they were in Xuzhou, they were naturally the emperor of the soil, calling for wind and rain to cover the sky with one hand, both local prestige and the trust of the lord, and the scenery of life is unlimited; Second, after the two of them took refuge in Cao Cao, they have not made any achievements, and Cao Cao is a suspicious person, so the two are naturally more suspicious and have never been reused.
To sum up, the situation of Chen Deng and Chen Qi's father and son at this time is really miserable, and it is not good to talk about mixing well at all.
It is precisely for this reason that when the two got Mi Fang's secret message that they wanted to meet in private, the two decided to take the risk of meeting each other after a fierce psychological battle.
After all, both of them are natives of Xuzhou, and they have a certain prestige in Xuzhou, and now Xuzhou is under the hands of Liu Bei, the lord of Mifang, and Uncle Liu Huang, if there is really a chance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light again, then the Chen father and son will not hesitate.
Although Mi Fang is not as smart as her brother Mi Zhu, she also knows how to observe words and feelings. Seeing that Chen Deng and Chen Qi seemed to be aggrieved, and it didn't seem to be a fake, Mi Fang gradually made up her mind in her heart.
But at this time, if it is easy to startle the snake, it is very likely to lead to the loss of previous efforts, Mi Fang followed the guidance of Chen Gong's military advisor before coming here, and continued to knock on the side and said: "Alas...... It's a pity that Cao Mengde's generation of heroes is about to return to dust in the blink of an eye......"
When Chen Qi heard this, his eyes showed a puzzled look, obviously the old fox wanted to ask something from Mi Fang's words, and immediately said, "Oh? General Mi Fang is so confident, why do you think Chen Yan will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao? ”
Mi Fang sneered, still according to Chen Gong's previous strategy, and pretended to be mysterious: "This ...... And let me sell it first. ”
Chen Qi was strange in his heart, when he was in Xuzhou, he almost watched Mi Fang grow up, Mi Fang has always been a straight intestine, and he can't hide words in his heart, now since he dares to say that Cao Cao is about to return to dust, it means that he knows Chen Yan's strategy to break the enemy, but now he sees that Mi Fang is unwilling to tell, which is really suitable for Mi Fang's personality is a little different.
Chen Qi always believed that the country is easy to change, his nature is difficult to change, and Mi Fang is still a big mouth after all, so he smiled slightly and used the agitation method: "Hmph, everyone can brag, I think Chen Yan doesn't have this ability, but you are just lying to our father and son." ”
Mi Fang listened to Chen Jue's words, and secretly exclaimed in her heart: "Mr. Chen Gong is so powerful, he can even guess what this old guy said, that is, he has already calculated the step of using the radical method, it seems that this time Mr. Chen Gong is really a decisive victory thousands of miles away." ”
Thinking of this, Mi Fang pretended to be angry on her face, and said angrily: "Who dares to say that I brag? Everything I said was true, at this time General Xu Rong was about to arrive in Puyang, and within three days, Cao Cao would be destroyed immediately. I tell you for the sake of our old friends, I advise your father and son to surrender early today, and I can still intercede for you for the sake of our friendship. ”
When Chen Qi and Chen Deng heard this, they both looked at each other, speechless, and after a long time, Chen Qi suddenly said to Mi Fang: "Mi Fang...... Since we are old friends, I won't hide it from you, this time since our father and son came out to see you, they were originally disappointed in Cao Cao. ”
Mi Fang was overjoyed when she heard this, and said in her heart: "It seems that these two people believe my lies, and Mr. Chen Gong's strategy is really powerful!" ”
I only heard Chen Qi continue: "This ...... Originally, we were worried that Cao Cao hated Lu Bu to the core, and slaughtered after entering Xuzhou, and Lu Bu had already lost his position at that time, and our father and son had to rebel in order to persuade Cao Cao not to slaughter the city...... Although we are in Cao Ying at this time, the hearts of our father and son are always loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they are still loyal to Da Sima and Uncle Liu Huang. ”
Mi Fang listened to this old guy's clever words, and sneered in her heart: "If it weren't for Mr. Chen Gong's thorough analysis of Chen Qi's rhetoric, I'm afraid I would have really been deceived by his words at this time." What is loyal to the Han Dynasty, what is for the people, but it's just that you Chen Qi are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
But Mi Fang naturally couldn't say this on the surface, he smiled slightly and said, "Old Man Chen cares about the people, this is what I know. Now I see that Cao Cao has reached the time when the oil has run out and the lamp has dried up, and you have left your hometown again, isn't it against the original meaning? ”
As soon as the old guy saw that Mi Fang's words had room for maneuver, he immediately said: "It's not, it's not!" Since I left Xuzhou, I have been missing my hometown day and night...... At the beginning, I thought that Cao Cao would become the lord of Xuzhou, but who would have thought that in the end, Xuzhou would still fall into the hands of Uncle Liu Huang. Alas, this is also a good thing, the reincarnation of heaven, originally Tao Gong left Xuzhou to the emperor's uncle, and now the things are returned to the original owner, which is really suitable. ”
Mi Fang sneered in her heart, but she didn't say anything.
Chen Qi continued: "It was only Lu Bu who I betrayed. Lu Bu, General Mi Fang, you naturally know that he is unkind, brutal and unkind, he is really not a person worthy of trust, and he has Zang Ba who forced your brother to death...... The old man really didn't have a good impression of him, so he betrayed him, not betrayed Uncle Liu Huang and Chen Da Sima, now if there is a chance, I should abandon the darkness and turn to the light again, and return to Da Sima and Uncle Huang. ”
Chen Deng was silent, obviously not realizing that his father had suddenly become so capricious. Although it is not easy to survive in the troubled times, Chen Deng still has some integrity, not as exaggerated as Chen Qi.
Mi Fang was still silent at this time, and it seemed even more mysterious.
Chen Jue saw it in his eyes, immediately smiled lightly, and said the last bargaining chip: "The old man will say one more word...... Mi Fang, now that Xuzhou has become a pot of porridge, you know how much influence your Mi family has...... The old man said a shameless word, without our Chen family's action, Xuzhou is afraid that it will not be stable and prosperous in the short term, think about it yourself! ”
Mi Fang was shocked, she didn't expect that this old man Chen Jue would want to surrender with all his heart, not only did he use both soft and hard, but he even openly threatened himself.
Fortunately, Mi Fang and Chen Gong have rehearsed many times in private, and simulated the scene at this time many times, so Mi Fang was not surprised at all when she heard Chen Qi's words at this time.
Mi Fang pretended to be embarrassed and said, "This ...... Da Sima told me that if the Chen father and son want to surrender, you can consider it, but you are in Cao Ying, Cao Cao is a suspicious, cunning, and scheming person, in case you surrender, how can it be good? ”
Chen Qi is old, although he is scheming, but he surrenders eagerly and is a little confused. On the side, Chen Deng suddenly felt that something was wrong, this Mi Fang has always been a reckless man, brave and unscrupulous, and has never been brainless, but now he is talking one by one, obviously pushing himself and his father on the road of betraying Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Chen Deng immediately felt that something was wrong, and gently stretched out his hand to push Chen Qi.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jue didn't realize the problem at all, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, no." General Mi Fang, if you don't believe it, we naturally have a way to show our loyalty. ”
