The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lu Bu stopped him and said: "Chen Jun, wait a minute, dare to ask Yu Jun, what good strategy do you want to offer me? Why did you say goodbye before you finished speaking?"

Thinking that Chen Gong had traveled hundreds of miles to Nanyang, how could he have met with Lu Bu, turned around and left without explaining his words? His actions were just hard-to-find. According to his original intention, of course he refused to leave.

Hearing Lu Bu's words at this time, Chen Gong took advantage of the situation to stand on his feet, turned around, raised his head, and said, "I have heard the name of Junhou for a long time, I originally thought that Junhou is a hero in this world, but if I think about it, it must be a man with great ambitions. People, so, I came from Chenliu not far down the road, and I want to go up with a good plan and a prince.

"But I didn't expect that when I saw the prince under the lord, the lord was drinking and the woman, indulging in the sensuality, and this is needless to say, and the palace, although stupid, is also a scholar, and the prince meets the scholars. Liu, you can't respect each other with courtesy, but you tell me to drink with the concubines of the lord and lord, and treat me as a jester. '! Junhou is nothing more than this, it is a good strategy for you, and I don't want to tell you any more, so I say goodbye."

As mentioned above, although Lv Bu lost to Runan, the reason was actually because of Chen Gong, but Lv Bu did not mean to blame him, and Lv Bu also attached great importance to Chen Gong's reputation, and through Chen Gong, he cooperated with him Miao and Cao Cao came together to beat Xunzhen and Yuzhou. Lv Bu also found out that Chen Gong was a man of wisdom. After hearing Chen Gong's words, Lv Bu did not get angry, but changed his words and got up immediately. First, the concubines who accompanied the banquet were driven away, and then the singing and dancing girl who was lying down was sent away, and then he went down to the hall, bowed in a salute, and said to Chen Gong: "What you said is that Bu is rude! Bu! Here, apologise to your feet."

Lu Bu changed his attitude and apologized, and Chen Gong also put away the fake appearance that he turned around to leave, and dignified, he formally bowed to Lu Bu again, and said, "You will know with a single step. 'Under a great reputation, there must be no vain warriors', Junhou must be a person with far-reaching aspirations, just said what he said, but only to test Junhou, how dare you be a general? Gong Cheng is frightened!"

The former sentence "under the reputation, it is actually difficult to match", the latter sentence "under the reputation, there must be no virtuous people", no matter how you say it, Chen Gong is right.

The two chatted for a while, and after greeting each other, Lu Bu invited Chen Gong to take a seat.

Chen Gong and Lu Bu sat down separately.

The waiters from the hall already came up to collect all the food and drinks on the table, and brought soup to Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

Lü Bu drank two sips of the soup, and he was right to ignore the taste of the wine. He asked Chen Gong and said, "You just said that you have a good strategy to teach me.

However, Chen Gong refused to speak immediately. He said, "Please ask the lord to step back, and then Rong Gong will offer advice to the lord."

There are no outsiders in the hall, only a few servants and little officials serving. After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lü Bu ordered these servants to be sent out. There was no one else in the hall, only Chen Gong and Lu Bu were left.

Chen Gong then cleared his throat and began to talk about his "good strategy". He first asked, "I have a question, I would like to ask Yu Junhou."

Lu Bu asked, "Why are you asking? Please tell me."

Chen Gong said: "I dare to ask Junhou, Junhou has returned to Nanyang from Runan, I don't know Yuan Gonggong, what is his attitude towards Junhou?"

Chen Gong's words were fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, he hit Lu Bu's displeasure at once.

He was unhappy and said, "How is your attitude towards me? Is there any need to say that?"

Chen Gong remained calm, pretending to be puzzled by Lu Bu's meaning, and asked, "What do you mean by this, Junhou?"

"It's like changing a sack for a straw sack to me, one bag is not as good as one bag!"

This is a folk proverb. Chen Gong had never heard of it before, so he was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean by this, Junhou?"

"One day is not as good as one day! The attitude towards me is getting worse and worse!"

This was what Chen Gong expected.

However, Chen Gong deliberately pretended to be surprised and said: "The attitude towards Junhou is getting worse and worse? It's strange, why is this? I think Junan fought **** battles in Runan for the sake of Duke Yuan, although it is temporary. The defeat is still in Nanyang, but victory and defeat are common affairs in the military, but who is a general who is always victorious and undefeated? In the future, it will be reinvigorated. Bar?"

After drinking alcohol, Lu Bu's face was already red, but now it became even more red, he took advantage of the wine and said angrily: "Gongtai, isn't it? Like you said, I'm not from Yuzhou. Why don't you say I didn't go back to my hometown, Babadi insisted on staying in Yuzhou and Nanyang? Had to fight with Sun Jian and his son? Do the math, I have been fighting almost every day since I arrived in Nanyang and Yuzhou. I lost, but I have already conquered half of Runan County before! What did I do for the rest of my life in Runan for the rest of my life in a **** battlefield? Isn't it all for him? Yuan Gonggong? But I returned to Nanyang from Runan. Now, Yuan Gonggong is quite resentful towards me."

He complained to Chen Gong and said, "After I returned to Nanyang, the army was short of food. I couldn't even provide the soldiers with two meals a day. The soldiers were hungry and full. I had to ask Yuan Gonggong for food. Guess what? He either didn't give me any excuses, or all he gave me was moldy old food, and the mice didn't eat it! How could I give it to the soldiers under my account?

"Before in Runan and Yingchuan, I fought hard several times with Sun Jian's father and son, and with Xunzhen's soldiers from Xuzhou. There were many casualties among my soldiers and many people who made military exploits. These may need to be compensated or given Rewards, I am not a lover of money. In the past, everything I got was distributed to the generals and schools under my account. Now I have insufficient money, and I don’t have enough pensions and rewards to reward the soldiers. I can only ask Yuan Gonggong for it. Guess what? Those who postponed the delay, promised verbally, but refused to give it to me readily. I haven't received a few money so far, so that the soldiers who died and the soldiers who have made meritorious deeds in my current army have not yet received pensions and meritorious deeds. reward!

"After I returned to Nanyang, I originally wanted to build a camp in the west of the city, where the terrain is open and there is no water, but what can you guess? Yuan Gonggong did not agree, and insisted that I set up the barracks in the east of the city! Here in the east, near the water, the soil is low and damp, and the land is narrow, how can we station soldiers? Building a camp near the water is a taboo in the art of warfare! How long has the camp been built there? The soldiers under my tent complained. , the inside and outside of the tent are wet all day long, the clothes and armor have not been dried, and I can't sleep well at night! Some even have sores on their bodies! And because of the cramped space, there is no space to perform martial arts. In the field, our soldiers have never had a drill since they returned to Nanyang!"

When Lu Bu started talking, he couldn't stop. Like a woman full of complaints, he said one thing after another, and so on, and finally came to the house where he lives now.

He pointed to the wall in the hall and said, "Chen Jun, please look at this hall, there are no pictures on the wall, it's just so bare, and look at the blanket on the floor, how thin is it? Step on it and head down. My feet hurt because of the slate! Yuan Gonggong gave me such a house to live in, how is this neglecting me?

"He has already treated me like this. How will he treat the generals under my account who have returned from me? I don't need to say more. Chen Jun! To tell you the truth, I'm fine, and I can handle it. Those soldiers and soldiers under the tent are all complaining now."

Chen Gong shook his head again and again, and said, "I really didn't expect that Duke Yuan would treat the prince so condescendingly!"

Lu Bu said a great deal, and his anger was relieved a little. He remembered that Chen Gong said that there was a "good strategy" for him, so he pulled back and asked Chen Gong, saying: "Chen Jun, Jun Shi said that there is a good strategy. Ce Jin is dedicated to me, dare to ask you, but did you come here at the request of Duke Chenliu Zhang?"

Chen Gong said, "I didn't come here under the entrustment of Duke Zhang, I came here to ask to see the prince."

Lu Bu said, "Oh?"

Chen Gong's answer was really beyond Lu Bu's expectations. He didn't expect Chen Gong to come to see him alone, instead of being ordered by Zhang Miao.

Chen Gong said: "Fangcai Junhou said that Yuan Gong was harsh to Junhou, but he did not hide it from Junhou. I was in Chenliu a few days ago when I heard that Junhou had withdrawn troops from Runan and returned to Nanyang, and I had a rough guess at that moment. , After Junhou returned to Nanyang, he might not tolerate Yuan Gong and be treated badly by Yuan Gong... but he never expected that Yuan Gong would not only condescend to treat Junhou, but would treat Junhou so harshly! When I guessed that Junhou might not be tolerated by Yuan Gong, I thought at the time that Junhou is a famous general in this world and a hero of the contemporary age. How can he bear such grievances? Therefore, I bid farewell to Zhang Gong and came to Nanyang. Specially offer advice for Jun Hou Jin."

Although Chen Gong's words were euphemistic, and Lu Bu was not a fool, he heard the general meaning. Lu Bu thought to himself: "'Farewell to Duke Zhang', 'to offer advice for me', ... eh? Why did I hear what Chen Gongtai said, he gave up Zhang Miao and came to vote for me?"

I don't have the time to think about why Chen Gong gave up Zhang Miao and joined him, but after all, Zhang Miao has been famous for a long time and is the leader of today's celebrities, and he Lu Bu is just a warrior, but Chen Gong can abandon Zhang Miao. He came to vote for him, whether it was because of what Chen Gong said, he was "a famous general in this world, a hero in the present", and suddenly, full of surprises, Lu Bu's vanity was greatly satisfied. He was overjoyed and said, "I don't want to be known by your name!"

Chen Gong said solemnly: "The name of the monarch is more than a long time in Xiajiu. If you look at the world, who is disrespectful?"

Lu Bu stroked his beard and laughed loudly. The depression and indignation just now seemed to be swept away. He asked Chen Gong and said, "Then dare to ask your step, who is He Liangce and me?"

Chen Gong prepared the atmosphere, so he told Lu Bu his "smart strategy".

He said, "Does Junhou know why Yuan Gonggong did not read the kindness of Junhou, but treated Junhou so badly?"

Lu Bu said: "I have this doubt too! Please ask your step, what is the reason?"

Chen Gong said: "There is no other reason, of course, it can only be because the monarch is powerful and famous in the world!"

"Oh?"

Chen Gong said: "I think that the lord and lord once killed Dong Zhuo and fought against the thieves of Li Jue and Guo Si with his own strength. Wasn't that one incident shocking the country? Feared by the heroes of the north and south, and encountering a lord and lord, it is only a matter of being slaughtered. False festivals and ceremonies are more expensive than the three divisions', and Situ Wang Gonggong manages the government, recruits the virtuous, and the court is one of the clear, people from all over the world, who does not spread the name of the prince? He owns Yuan's family name, but he doesn't know the army, and his current official position is no better than a later general. How can he be compared with the prince? He also knows that he can't compare with the prince, so he can't help but feel jealous of the prince. , Because after the lord returned to Nanyang from Runan, he was afraid that the lord would compete with him for Nanyang, so he treated the lord so badly."

Chen Gong praised Lv Bu as a "hero" several times. Lu Bu always considered himself a "hero", so he did his part and called himself a hero. Xiao Nanyang is in my Lu Bu's eyes!"

Chen Gong said, "Your Majesty has such a lofty ambition, and it is no longer comparable to Yuan Gonggong! The advice I want to offer to your Majesty is: Since you cannot be accepted by Yuan Gonggong and Nanyang, why not return your Majesty to Runan and Yingchuan? ."

Lu Bu said, "Return to Runan, Yingchuan?"

Chen Gong said, "Exactly!"

Lu Bu couldn't help being embarrassed, moved his buttocks, adjusted his sitting posture, scratched his head and said, "Why don't I want to go back to Runan again, but Chen Jun, I didn't notice it for a while, I was defeated by Xun Zhen and Sun Ce, I just came back to Nanyang not long ago, In addition, several generals under my account, such as Cao Xing, were unfortunately killed in this battle. Now the morale of my soldiers has not been restored, and they are not very high. Yuan Gonggong refused to help me. If you go to fight Runan and Yingchuan again at this time, I am afraid it will not be easy to win. If you lose again, what will happen?"

Chen Gong said, "Don't worry about your lord! Now if you go to fight Runan and Yingchuan, your lord will surely win."

Lu Bu asked, "How can I be victorious?"

Chen Gong said: "The following said that the ruler and the lord will win for two reasons."

Lu Bu asked, "What are the two reasons?"

Chen Gong said: "Xun Zhendong has now led his troops back to Xuzhou. He has just recovered the two counties of Shanyang and Jiyin. At present, the most important thing is to stabilize Yanzhou first. When they attacked Runan and Yingchuan, Xun Zhendong would definitely not be able to help Sun Bofu again soon, but Sun Bofu was young and not from Yuzhou, and his family was even more poor. He lived in Yuzhou. There is little prestige in the local area, not to mention, he is absolutely incomparable with the prince, this is one of the princes must win."

Lu Bu was quite convinced by this, nodded and said, "If Xun Zhen didn't help me, how could Sun Ce be my enemy? Chen Jun, where are my two victories?"

Chen Gong said: "This time I came to Wanxian from Chenliu, and went south to Runan first, and then to Wanxian. When I passed by Runan, I crossed to the south bank of Rushui, and saw some commendations and other localities in the county. The gentry, Sun Bofu, was tyrannical in his administration. After Jun Houxi returned to Nanyang, he killed many tyrants and gentry in Baoxin and other counties. The local gentry and people greatly missed the emperor and all praised the benevolence of the emperor. , It is the people's heart of the lord in Runan, which is far stronger than that of Sun Bofu, and the people's will, how can they not win?

But it is said that when Lü Bu originally occupied the places of praise and credit, he was rampant in the local army, looting the grain of the people, not to mention burning, killing, looting and looting the people. ? This is definitely impossible, but Chen Gong is using these words to coax Lu Bu.

Lu Bu had no self-knowledge.

He recalled what he had done in the counties in the south of Runan, and thought to himself: "When I was in Runan, I was really not bad for the gentry in Baoxin and other counties! I would invite them to drink and eat every three days. Meat, I also sent a lot of people from the counties on the north bank of Rushui to them as disciples. Although I also asked them for food, money and silk, I did not rob them from their homes. Yes, but they gave it to me willingly."

Lv Bu even took Chen Gong's remarks as true, and believed them to be true, and said happily: "Sure enough, the gentry and elders in praise and letter and other places miss my kindness?"

Chen Gong said: "How dare this statement be false, it is true."

Lu Bu snorted twice, showing a look of shame, and said with a sigh: "Oh, it's a pity that Yuan Gonggong refused to help me with all his strength, which caused me to be defeated by the younger generation! I had to abandon the gentry and elders in the praise and other places. , they were brutally mutilated by Sun Bofu, I miss them, Chen Jun, I really feel guilty and feel sorry for them."

Chen Gong said: "If you have a lot of acquaintances with the world's scholars and people in you and Yingjian, if your lord and lord are willing to follow this strategy and attack Runan and Yingchuan, then your lord is willing to be the forerunner of the monarch and horse, and he will be there immediately. Set off and go to contact the local gentry for the lord and lord, so as to be the lord's inner responder."

Although two reasons for the victory were laid out, Lu Bu was still hesitant.

He thought about it again and again, and said: "This matter is of great importance. I should have some discussions with Wen Yuan and others, and listen to their opinions."

Lu Bu thought about it, so he did not reply to Chen Gong at that time, saying, "This is a good strategy to take a step, but please take a step, and let me consider it. After I have discussed with the generals under my account, I will give you an answer. Okay?"

Chen Gong also knew that attacking Runan and Yingchuan was a big deal. As an "outsider" who had just arrived, no matter how affectionate Lu Bu was to him, he would still not be able to gain Lu Bu's great and unconditional trust. Lu Bu hesitated and wanted to discuss it with the generals under his account. Since it was reasonable and reasonable, he did not push him, and said, "This matter is of great importance, and you should consider it carefully."

That night, Lü Bu called Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, Fanyi and other generals to set up a banquet for Chen Gong to wash away the dust.

A swig, needless to say.

Sitting in the middle of a group of warriors, Chen Gong felt uncomfortable, and he didn't need to say more.

It was night, and Chen Gong stayed in Lu Bu's house.

However, the next day, an official came from outside the house and asked to see Chen Gong. It turned out that Yuan Shu had obtained the secret report that had been placed in Lu Bu’s mansion. Knowing that Chen Gong was in Nanyang, he sent someone to invite him to meet him. Chen Gong couldn’t refuse, so he told him With a sound, Lu Bu went to Wanxian Prefecture to meet Yuan Shu.

After Chen Gong left, Lv Bu summoned Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals again, and gave him the "smart strategies" that Chen Gong said yesterday, and relayed them to the generals. Said: "Chen Gongtai suggested that I attack Runan and Yingchuan again, do you think it's okay?"

For example, Song Xian, Fanyi and other generals were not wise men. After listening to Lu Bu's remarks from Chen Gong, they all felt that what Chen Gong said was very reasonable. Fanyi said: "Chen Gongtai is right, since there are two sure-win generals, then, general, shall we go back to Runan? Taking the credits again will save us having to go to Nanyang and be given by Yuan Gonggong. These idiots!" He stretched out his arm, pulled up his sleeve, exposed his inner arm, and said, "Look, Yuan Gonggong didn't even give us a good place to live, and he didn't let us live in peace. There was so much humidity in the camp that I had rashes all over my arms now! And all over my back!"

One person interrupted Fanyi's grumbling, got up and said, "General, the last general thinks that Chen Gongtai can't listen to this discussion."

The speaker is Gao Shun.

Lu Bu asked, "Why can't you hear it?"

Gao Shun stood upright, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Gongtai, although I didn't know him before the last general, but through him he first voted for Cao Cao and then Zhang Miao, and he encouraged the general to join forces with Zhang Miao and Cao Cao to use troops, and he was determined to join forces with Zhang Miao and Cao Cao. When Xun Zhendong went against this matter, it can be judged that the only goal he wants to achieve now is to take Yanzhou back from Xun Zhendong!

"Now he has come to join the general again. He has no friendship with the general, and he is not from our state. How could he have the intention to offer any good advice to the general? In the general's humble opinion, he offered this plan to the general. , and his ultimate purpose is to fight back to Yanzhou from Xun Zhendong, which is good for him and not good for the general. This is one of the things that cannot be heard."

Lu Bu pondered: "Yesterday I heard what he said, he abandoned Zhang Miao and came to join me, and I am a little puzzled. Now that I think about it, it seems that Ru Qing has decided this way... Maybe it was because he saw Zhang Miao and Cao Cao. I was defeated by Xun Zhendong, knowing that the two of them were unable to fight against Xun Zhendong again, and that they could no longer rely on them to fight back to Yanzhou, so I came to vote?"

Gao Shun said: "The last general also thinks so."

No matter why Chen Gong voted for Lu Bu, for Lu Bu, it was a good thing to improve his reputation. What is the second one?"

Gao Shun said: "General, now our army is newly defeated, the morale is not high, and the compensation and rewards of the fallen soldiers and those who have made meritorious services have not been issued yet, and there are already small complaints in the army. Nan, ... Sun Bofu has used Cheng Pu to guard the letter of praise. Cheng Pu was the most prestigious of the generals under Sun Wentai in the old days. If he loses again, it will inevitably lead to another loss of our army.

"Although our army is defeated, we can still withdraw to Nanyang, but Yuan Gonggong is very afraid of the general, and the reason why he has not dared to attack the general and has to respect the general is because the general's account currently has enough So, if our army loses some more troops, the final commander will be deeply afraid, Yuan Gonggong will turn his face immediately if he can't say it, then our army in Nanyang will not be able to stay any longer!

"That's why I think that it's not yet time to counterattack Runan and Yingchuan. Even if you want to counterattack, you have to wait for morale to pick up first, and then you can make plans."

Gao Shun's analysis is very reasonable. Just like what Lu Bu said to Chen Gong yesterday, what if he loses again?

Lu Bu was also worried, he nodded to Gao Shun frequently, and said, "Your remark is very good, I actually have this worry." After thinking for a while, he said to himself, "So, Runan, Yingchuan is unbeatable."

There was one person at the table who stood up and said, "Runan may not be easy to fight, but General, Yingchuan might as well be able to fight a dozen times."

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Wen Yuan, how can Yingchuan be able to play a dozen?"

Zhang Liao said: "After Xun Zhendong led his troops to leave Yuzhou, Sun Bofu named Liu Bei as the prefect of Yingchuan. Liu Bei never had a big name, so he was not a good soldier, so Sun Bofu named him the prefect of Yingchuan. , the last general speculates that it is nothing more than to use the name of Xun Zhendong to suppress the territory. The last general thinks that he must not be the opponent of the general, and our army can fight a dozen Yingchuan. This is the first reason.

"There is a second reason, which is what Zixiang said just now. Now, the generals don't have any money to pay for the compensation and rewards of our army's casualties and meritorious soldiers. There are two armies of Lei Book and Chen Lan in Yingchuan. Therefore, in my humble opinion, can the general propose to Yuan Gonggong that he is willing to rescue Lei Bo and Chen Lan and return to Nanyang, and use this as an excuse to ask Yuan Gonggong for some food, grass and money?"

Lu Bu understood what Zhang Liao meant.

What Zhang Liao said is clearly: First, Liu Bei, the defender of Yingchuan, is not worth mentioning, unlike Cheng Pu who has both prestige and can fight wars; second, Lei Book and Chen Lan are now in Yingchuan, so they can just use this. As an excuse, I asked Yuan Shu for money and grain. I asked for it before, but Yuan Shu didn't give it. Now I'm going to save your subordinates. Why don't you give it? If Yuan Shu still does not give it, Yuan Shu will definitely lose the hearts of his own troops, so the result must be that Yuan Shu has to agree to Lu Bu's request even if he is reluctant.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "Wen Yuan, this is a good strategy!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Liao's strategy was good. Involuntarily, he praised it again and said, "Miaozai, wonderful, really good plan!" The so-called "wonderful strategy" of Zhang Liao is really wonderful.

Zhang Liao said: "At the end of the day, this stupid opinion, the general is useful, but there is one point that the general cannot ignore."

Lu Bu asked, "Which point?"

Zhang Liao said: "This is the attack on Yingchuan. If the battle goes well, our army can take down Yingchuan, but if the battle is unfavorable, our army cannot be deadlocked in Yingchuan."

Can't get into a stalemate in Yingchuan, why? The reason is still the same, that is, in order not to damage the soldiers, in order to preserve the strength.

Lu Bu stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Wenyuan, why do you need to warn me again, I have my own measure, of course I know that."

In this regard, Lu Bu and the generals agreed.

When Chen Gong returned from the Wanxian prefecture and saw Chen Gong, Lu Bu first asked him and said, "Yuan Gonggong asked you to go to the prefecture, what did you say to you?"

Chen Gong replied: "I didn't say anything, I just exchanged greetings, asked about the situation in Xiachenliu and Dongjun, and asked why I came to Nanyang to meet Junhou."

"How did you answer?"

"In the case of Chenliu and Dongjun, what did Duke Yuan ask, and what did you answer below? Why did you come to Nanyang to see the general, and the next answered the same, saying that he came to offer advice to the lord and lord, and suggested that the lord and lord should take Runan and Yingchuan again. "

"It is recommended that Lu Bu take Runan and Yingchuan again." There is indeed no need to hide it from Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is afraid of Lu Bu, and now he is eager for Lu Bu to leave Nanyang quickly.

Lü Bu did not ask any more questions, and said to Chen Gong: "Chen Jun, I have already discussed with the generals, and all the generals thought that the counterattack against Runan and Yingchuan as mentioned by you is the right time. Well, I have decided to adopt this policy of yours."

How did Chen Gong know that Lu Bu was trying to coax him? After hearing the words, he was overjoyed and looked excited, and said, "So, I have made a vow to be the pioneer of the lord, and now I will go to Runan and Yingchuan, contact the local scholars for the lord, and be the inner responder when the lord enters the army!"

Lü Bu said: "There is no need to contact the scholars from Runan first. If you have acquaintances in Yingchuan, you can contact me first."

Chen Gong was stunned and said, "Yingchuan?"

Lü Bu said: "If I attack Runan first, then the west of Runan is Yingchuan, and the north is the state of Chen and Liang, then Sun Bofu can support Runan from both routes, and the battle may not be easy. Therefore, I decided to take down Yingchuan first, and since I have Yingchuan, I will rely on Nanyang to the north, and then attack Runan from the east of Yingchuan.

When Chen Gong heard this, he felt that what Lu Bu said was very reasonable, and thought to himself: "It's better to fight Runan first, or Yingchuan first, as long as Lu Feng is willing to fight Yuzhou first, then after Yuzhou is defeated, I can encourage him. Go north to attack Yanzhou! Lu Fengxian is a brave general. Although Xuzhou's soldiers are elite, they are not necessarily his opponents. With my ingenuity, one day, I will be able to recover Yanzhou from the hands of Xun thieves!"

Thinking like this, Chen Gong also knew that he had no right to speak, so he said to Lu Bu, "This is a very good policy, it's because I didn't think about it carefully, and the prince deserves to know how to fight. He is good at fighting, and is a famous general in the world. The words of Yingchuan scholars are quite acquainted, so I will set off for Yingchuan today to serve as an inner responder for Junhou to contact Yingchuan scholars."

The great goal of "recovering Yanzhou" was in front of him. Although Chen Gong's two thighs were still in pain, he completely ignored it, and his whole body was full of passionate fighting spirit.

Lü Bu smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry for one day. You have come from a long way from Chenliu to rest for two days before going to Yingchuan."

However, Chen Gong couldn't wait, and insisted on leaving today. If Lu Bu couldn't beat him, he just let him go.

Back at the house, he did some cleaning up. Chen Gongguo took his two entourages and left Wan County on the same day, non-stop, and headed north to Yingchuan.

The next day, Lü Bu went to see Yuan Shu.

In the prefecture hall, seeing Yuan Shu, Lu Bu did not go around the corner, and said bluntly: "Bu has made up his mind to attack Runan and Yingchuan. Of the two counties, we plan to take Yingchuan first. For one thing, Yingchuan is better than Runan. After the attack, it is also convenient for the troops below; secondly, it can also take the opportunity to bring back Lei Book and Chen Lan's troops who are currently trapped in Songgao Mountain to Duke Ming."

Lei Bo and Chen Lan are now bringing thousands of soldiers and horses into Songshan, which is quite a lot. Moreover, these two are also more important generals under Yuan Shu's account. Hearing that Lv Bu is willing to attack Yingchuan and bring Lei Bo. , Chen Lan, and their subordinates brought them back, and Yuan Shu couldn't ask for it.

——As for whether Lu Bu really wants to fight Yingchuan? It was only yesterday that I heard from Chen Gong that he came to Wan County to suggest that Lu Bu would fight Yuzhou again. Chen Gong's words were in line with what Lu Bu said today, but Yuan Shu had no doubts.

He was overjoyed and said, "Lei Book and Chen Lan are trapped in Songgao Mountain. I worry about them every day. I have long wanted to send troops to bring them back! If the general is willing to bring them back for me, of course it would be better!"

Lu Bu said: "However, there is a difficulty."

Yuan Shu asked, "What is the difficulty?"

Lü Bu said: "After the number of soldiers and horses under my account was defeated~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there are some shortages, and there is also a shortage of rations and salaries for the army, so if I want to save Lei Bo and Chen Lan, I have to ask the Duke of Ming to allocate me some soldiers and horses and some Food and military salaries, that's how I can do it."

There were many state officials in the hall. When Lü Bu said that he wanted to pick up Lei Book and Chen Lan, Yuan Shu had already agreed with great joy. He would lose the hearts of his subordinates and was forced to do nothing, so Yuan Shu had to agree to Lu Bu's request, pretending to be generous and saying, "What's so difficult about this? As long as I can bring back Lei Book and Chen Lan, I will do whatever the general needs. Do it!"

But Lü Bu was not polite, and immediately the lion opened his mouth and demanded a thousand soldiers and horses, as well as grain and money.

Yuan Shu endured the pain and agreed.

Lu Bu's plan was successful, and he left the prefecture happily, and immediately arranged for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others to find the officials in charge of the prefecture, and quickly implemented the few things that Yuan Shu had promised. That night, Lü Bu set up a wine banquet, and Zhang Liao and the others drank happily.

Needless to say.

However, it was said that there were thousands of soldiers and horses and sufficient provisions and salaries. In the next two days, Lu Bu first cared for the casualties and their families, and rewarded the soldiers who had made meritorious deeds.
