Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

After all, Li Yi broke free from Chen Gui's hand, saluted, and walked out. Chen Gui wanted to stop him when he saw this, but Li Yi had already arrived outside the hall, obviously he really wanted to leave.

Seeing Li Yi disappear around the corner in a short while, both the father and son of the Chen family had complicated expressions on their faces. After a while, Chen Gui sighed and asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Chen Deng shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then asked, "Father, how should I respond to this move by Marquis Xiang?"

Chen Gui didn't say a word, if Li Yi was tyrannical to them, they could push back, but Li Yi gave them such a big favor out of the blue, that's why they were short-handed.

"Ugh!"

Chen Gui did not answer, but sighed: "Liu Jingsheng, Yuan Gonglu, the defeat is not unfair!"

Chen Deng nodded slightly aside, but he also added a person's name Dong Zhuo in his heart!

After a while, Chen Gui cleared his mind and said, "It's true that Marquis Xiang wants to recruit my Chen family, but he also knows that my Chen family intends to avoid it, so by chance, something happened just now, and Marquis Xiang just didn't He didn’t make any demands on my Chen family, but left directly, which shows that he didn’t intend to repay favors, he can be called a gentleman, but that’s exactly what made me feel embarrassed.”

Chen Deng smiled wryly and said, "If Marquis Xiang tries to tempt me again like yesterday, I really have no face to avoid it."

Chen Gui also smiled wryly. Speaking of which, although the father and son had bullied Lu Bu hard enough in history, they were still gentlemen in essence.

At this time, Chen Deng suddenly thought of something, and brought up the topic of being planned because of Li Yi's arrival again, and said softly: "Father, originally the son just relied on his intuition and thought that Xuzhou was what Xianghou came here for, but now, it is Already seven or eight points sure!"

Chen Gui was taken aback, but he didn't expect Chen Deng to mention this again. This time he didn't veto it like last time, but frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Your reason?"

Chen Deng said: "If the Marquis of Xiang only seeks temporary benefits and makes a request based on today's affairs, my Chen family will basically have no way to refuse, so Marquis Xiang naturally has no reason to give up."

Chen Gui nodded in agreement and signaled Chen Deng to continue.

"However, judging from the words and deeds of Marquis Xiang yesterday, he obviously wanted my Chen family to join him, and he was even a little impatient, but since he has already taken the initiative today, he obviously can take the opportunity to act, but he gave up the opportunity at a critical moment."

"This move can certainly show the Marquis Xiang's tolerance and win a compliment, but when it comes to planning things, he is a bit indecisive, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is unwise!"

"However, before the Marquis Guanxiang acted, no matter whether he killed Dong Zhuo in Chang'an and retreated completely, or later defeated Yuan Shu and replaced him with Liu Biao, he acted cleanly and neatly, without the slightest sloppiness, and he did not see the benevolence of women. Therefore, Xiangxiang Hou Shicai's departure is definitely not unwise, and it's not because of a momentary soft-heartedness, but it can only be because the intention is too big, and I want my Chen family to sincerely join in!"

Speaking of this, Chen Deng paused for a moment, then shook his head slowly, and said, "I really can't think of anything other than plotting Xuzhou, which is worthy of the Marquis Xiang's response."

"This"

Chen Gui frowned. In fact, what Chen Deng said had no real evidence at all, it was all based on guesswork. However, the more he thought about it, the more reliable his guesses became, which made Chen Gui even more embarrassed.

Although Chen Gui was experienced, he was old after all and tended to act prudently. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution. In the end, he could only ask Chen Deng: "If the inference is true, how do you plan to deal with it?"

This time Chen Deng thought about it for a long time, and then he said with some uncertainty: "Father, do you think it is the Marquis Xiang?"

Seeing that Chen Deng hesitated to speak, Chen Gui asked, "What is it?"

"Aiming for the world"

"You bastard!"

As soon as Chen Deng finished speaking, he heard Chen Gui yell at his forehead, and then raised his hand to hit Chen Deng. Seeing this, Chen Deng subconsciously lowered his head and shrunk his neck, but after waiting for a while, the slap did not come down. , Looking up, I saw my old father was panting heavily, with a troubled face.

Chen Deng didn't dare to speak, and waited for a while, Chen Gui's breath eased, he closed his eyes and didn't look at Chen Deng, but raised his hand tiredly, and said, "Go on."

Chen Deng heaved a sigh of relief, and then said carefully: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos. Yuan Shu in Yangzhou and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan in Hebei are all ambitious people. This is well known in the world, and Cao Cao in Yanzhou is probably not bad. Otherwise, even if you want to To avenge my father, why do you go to war so much, it's just an opportunity to seek Xuzhou."

After observing Chen Gui's expression, Chen Deng continued: "Yuan Shu has become a joke. Although he still occupies Yangzhou, he is actually a poor country. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou could have been a hero in the first place, but he lost the hearts of the people by killing Liu Yu." , has been defeated, and Cao Cao is really powerful from the perspective of military use, but he is too fierce and loses people's hearts. If he only fights with people like Tao Qian and Kong Rong in the future, it will be fine. The enemy, Cao Cao's ending is probably the same as Gongsun Zan."

"The last is Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has always had prestige, and he also has the ability to use others. Countless heroes in Hebei scrambled to join him. He defeated Gongsun Zan and unified Hebei. It will be a matter of time before he achieves a hegemony, but let nature take its course. Because of Yuan Shu's matter, people in the world are already jealous of the Yuan family, so if Yuan Shao wants to achieve a major event, there will be many more obstacles for no reason, at least it will be postponed for three to five years."

Chen Gui nodded slightly, then slowly opened his eyes, he knew that Chen Deng was going to talk about Li Yi.

Sure enough, Chen Deng took a deep breath and said, "Father, it is inevitable for Yuan Shao to rule the north, but if Li Yi wants to rule the south, no one can stop him."

"Yuan Shu suffered a terrible defeat last time. If he is allowed to recuperate, he may have a chance to make a comeback by following the example of Gou Jian. However, Lu Kang fought against Yuan Shu before him, and recently he heard that the eldest son of Sun Jian, Sun Ce, was also at odds with Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu did not breathe at all. Once the Marquis of Xiang sends troops, he will surely be defeated."

"In the future, if Marquis Xiang supports someone close to him to take charge of Yangzhou, and then goes north to seek Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and even Yanzhou, who can be the opponent of Marquis Xiang besides Cao Cao?"

As he was talking, Chen Deng was a little excited, subconsciously clenched his fists and said, "Father, I didn't understand why Marquis Xiang came to Xuzhou first, but now I understand!"

"Just tell me."

Chen Gui responded, but Chen Deng did not notice the exhaustion and loneliness in Chen Gui's voice.

Chen Deng said: "If Marquis Xiang wants to take Yangzhou into his pocket after defeating Yuan, he must support his cronies. However, once he does so, the people of the world must be vigilant, such as Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, etc., must be extremely vigilant against Marquis Xiang, Those loyal to the Han Dynasty in Yangzhou will also be ready to move, and if the Marquis Xiang wants to send troops to the Central Plains, although he can win, the price will definitely be high!"

"On the contrary, the Marquis Xiang entered Xuzhou first and took Xuzhou into his hands, so many problems can be easily solved!"

Chen Deng talked so vigorously that he didn't notice that he was only answering Chen Gui's question, but as he spoke, he seemed to put himself into Li Yi's big event, his face was excited, and even his eyes became scorching hot stand up.

"First of all, if Yangzhou is left alone, not only will Yuan Shu not be able to recuperate, but he will also clear up possible dissenting people for the Marquis of Xiang. In the future, Marquis Xiang will be in charge of Yangzhou, and there will be less trouble and notoriety. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"As for seeking Xuzhou first, that would be easy. If Cao Cao did evil in Xuzhou this time, if the Marquis of Xiang made him retreat, the people of Xuzhou would be grateful for his life. Even if Marquis Xiang wanted to return to Jingzhou, the people would be afraid Cao Cao will definitely stop him, and at that time, the Marquis of Xiang took Xuzhou to show that he would follow the trend, and it would be hard to criticize."

"If Xuzhou wins, we can send troops in two ways to take Yangzhou in the future. Yuan Shu will be at a loss. Before the battle, he will lose first."

"And if the Marquis of Xiang wins Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou, the general trend has been achieved. Even if people in the world know of Marquis Xiang's ambitions, at that time, except for Yuan Shao in Hebei, who can be the Marquis' opponent?"

"Even, as long as the Marquis of Xiang is fast enough to take the entire Central Plains into his pocket before Yuan Shao unifies Hebei, the world will belong to the Marquis of Xiang."

Speaking of this, the excitement on Chen Deng's face became more intense, but the next moment, just hearing a "slap", Chen Deng received a heavy slap on the face, and fell to the ground, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and burst into hair. It's all gone.

Chen Gui pointed at the son he admired the most with trembling fingers, and asked word by word: "You rebellious son! Do you want to rebel! Rebellion! Do you!"

Chapter 459 Really unwilling!

After Li Yi left the Chen family, he went back to the military camp outside the city. Of course, he didn't know what happened to the Chen family, and he didn't ask anyone to inquire, because the contact process with the Chen family was faster than Li Yi expected. Even though no agreement was directly reached, Li Yi believes that the Chen family's attitude should already be very inclined to him.

In fact, Li Yi's original idea was very bad. He just wanted to use his words and sincerity to get the Chen family to join him. If you can't find an entry point to win them over, it's like a clever woman can't cook without rice.

But this time Li Yi's luck is really good enough. Yesterday when Li Yi met with Xiapi officials, Hua Tuo saw Chen Deng's illness in the crowd but didn't seem to know it. Seeing that Li Yi was very fond of Chen Deng, Hua Tuo Tuo felt that his discovery might be helpful to Li Yi, so he went to tell Xun You about it. Li Yizheng was worried about how to deal with the Chen family. About seeing a doctor.

Li Yi thought about taking Chen Deng by his side for "rehabilitation" on the grounds of seeing a doctor, or even directly pretended that he was embarrassed, and used soft knives to force the Chen family to declare their allegiance to him.

But Li Yisi thought about it, and finally gave up those methods, and turned to let Chen Deng see his kindness with the most sincere attitude.

The reason for doing this is of course that Li Yi did not want to coerce his own people, but more importantly, Li Yi thought of the original ending of Lu Bu.

It was Cao Cao who killed Lu Bu in the end, but the Chen family and his son were like termites before Cao Cao attacked, eroding Lu Bu's body bit by bit, and when he realized something was wrong, the situation was over.

The reason why Chen's father and son opposed Lu Bu, Li Yi felt, was that there was no deep-seated reason for it, probably because he didn't like Lu Bu's personality, and they felt that Lu Bu could not achieve great things and had no future with him, so they sold Lu Bu to him up.

Li Yi asked himself, if he threatened Chen Deng with medical treatment to work for him, Chen Deng would definitely be obedient in a short time, but this matter was like a thorn in Chen Deng's heart. It was very pleasing to the eye, and then he sold Li Yi as soon as his brain got hot.

That was not the result Li Yi hoped for. What he wanted was a loyal Chen Yuanlong capable of writing and martial arts, not a Chen Deng who betrayed his master.

Therefore, Li Yi showed Chen Deng his greatest sincerity.

Li Yi guessed that based on his own performance, if Chen Deng had a conscience, he would definitely say something to him, which was the worst thing. With this incident as a premise, Chen Deng would never be able to take advantage of the future when Xuzhou needed to make a choice. His opposite go?
