Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that Lu Bu's breathing started to be steady, Chen Gong suppressed his anger, smiled, and said, "Let's take Li Yi as an example. Why did Li Yi kill Hua Xiong at the beginning, and why did he venture into Luoyang to kill Dong Zhuo? Gong didn't dare to slander Li Yi rashly." He is loyal in his heart, but Gong dares to assert that at least half of what Li Yi did at that time was for fame and fortune."

Gao Shun couldn't help it a little bit, and said: "Gongtai's remarks are too biased. No one in the world knows the name of Li Xianghou's loyalty?"

Dissatisfaction suddenly appeared on Lu Bu's face. Although he knew that Gao Shun was very loyal to him, Gao Shun always defended Li Yi and asked him to learn from Li Yi. It's my wife who always says how good the man next door is, but any man will feel pimples when he hears it.

It's just that after the incident in Luoyang, Lu Bu still made progress in dealing with people in the world, so he just took one more look at Gao Shun, and didn't get angry with Gao Shun.

Hearing Gao Shun's question, Chen Gong shook his head and laughed, feeling that Gao Shun was very lucky in his heart.

Chen Gong often mentioned Li Yi, and Lu Bu was dissatisfied, but Lu Bu's dissatisfaction was directed at Li Yi.

And Gao Shun often mentioned Li Yi, but he spoke too bluntly, but directed all of Lu Bu's dissatisfaction on himself.

After such a long time, Lu Bu did not alienate Gao Shun, and it was really not easy.

Chen Gong didn't want to quarrel with Gao Shun, so he just asked, "The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, everyone thinks that the Yuan family is loyal, but how did Yuan Shu do it some time ago?"

Gao Shun was speechless for a moment, Yuan Shu's actions were considered to have smashed the Yuan family's signboard.

Chen Gong said again: "Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has guarded the north for many years. He has made outstanding achievements. The reputation of General White Horse is well known in the world. I also admire it very much. But now, killing Liu Yu and coercing angels, what should I say?"

Gao Shun couldn't answer now, the example given by Chen Gong was too typical, he couldn't refute it at all.

Seeing that Gao Shun had stopped talking, Chen Gong continued to say to Lu Bu: "Looking at Li Yi's actions, he is very pragmatic. Although he has some grudges with Cao Cao, he still doesn't want to lead troops to Xuzhou to fight Cao Cao. Therefore, Li Yi is here Going to Xuzhou is to seek fame and let the world know his name of benevolence and righteousness."

"Gong Ke asserted that although there will be a war between Li Yi and Cao Cao in Xuzhou, the two sides must be extremely restrained, and at most they will lose some fur. Cao Cao will definitely retreat, and Li Yi may stay or retreat, but he will never pursue Cao Cao relentlessly."

Lu Bu asked, "Why?"

Lu Bu was puzzled, it was different from what he thought.

Before Cao Cao first sent Mao Jie to contact Liu Bei to plot Li Yi, but Li Yi detained him. Later, Cao Cao borrowed Yuzhou layout to restrain Li Yi. Although the matter failed, Lu Bu felt that Li Yi should be able to feel Cao Cao The malice, then, if these two people collide, will life or death be lost?

Gao Shun was also puzzled. Gao Shun had also seen Li Yi's resolute side. He always felt that Li Yi's trip was more for Cao Cao.

Chen Gong said to Lv Bu: "Xuzhou is weak, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the name of avenging his parents, and justifiably plundered Xuzhou's population and occupied Xuzhou's land. If this is done, the benefits will be as great as gaining another Yanzhou. "

"However, when Li Yiruo went to Xuzhou, from the palace's point of view, Li Yi and Cao Cao played against each other, and the outcome was five or five. Cao Cao can't say that he can't attack Xuzhou, even if he stabilizes Yanzhou, I'm afraid he won't be able to do what he wants. As for Li Yi, Li Yi has just won Jingzhou, and his people's hearts are still uncertain. Although his reputation is increasing day by day, his background is too shallow. Li Yidang understands this truth, so he will never fight Cao Cao unless it is profitable."

Lu Bu couldn't help but said, "If I had an incident in Yanzhou and cut off Cao Cao's retreat, would Li Yi let Cao Cao go at such a good opportunity? As long as he flanks me back and forth, Cao Cao will be in trouble!"

Chen Gong heheed, and asked: "According to what the general said, after this, Feng Xian won Yanzhou and made a lot of profits, but what did Li Yi get?"

Lu Bu blurted out, "Hasn't Li Yi gained fame?"

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Otherwise, as long as Li Yi's troops arrive in Xuzhou, his reputation will already be established. After that, he won't let Cao Cao retreat. As long as he can block Cao Cao and prevent Cao Cao from advancing, he will be Xuzhou's benefactor. Now that the reputation has been obtained, why does Li Yi fight Cao Cao for the sake of the general?"

"This"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, and said to Gao Shun, "Boping, tell me, will Li Yi help me?"

Gao Shun subconsciously wanted to say that Li Yi would definitely do it, but although he had a good impression of Li Yi, his heart was still on Lu Bu's side, especially since Lu Bu had sworn brothers with Cao Cao, he guessed that Li Yi also had complaints in his heart. Things are hard to say.

After hesitating for a while, Gao Shun could only answer: "It's hard to say, but if Fengxian is interested, I would like to be an envoy, and I will definitely invite Li Yi to send troops!"

Before Lv Bu could answer, Chen Gong said, "Although Boping has a good relationship with Li Yi and Zhang Liao, please forgive me, if it wasn't for a generous gift, Li Yi would never have attacked Cao Cao."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "What kind of generous gift did Gongtai talk about?"

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I heard that the general's beloved daughter is familiar with Li Yi, if the general can promise her to Li Yi"

Just as Chen Gong was halfway through speaking, he felt a chill all over his body, couldn't help shivering, and asked him to swallow the rest of the words again.

Lu Bu blushed slightly, and said coldly: "Although I, Lu Bu, dare not be called a hero, I am not a person who can be bullied by others. According to what Gongtai said, even if I win Yanzhou in the future, my daughter will be a concubine. , This makes me lose face!"

Chen Gong swallowed his saliva. Although he was very familiar with Lu Bu, he was not afraid of Lu Bu's displeasure at ordinary times, but only when Lu Bu was really angry did he know that Lu Wenhou's reputation was really not in vain.

Chen Gong took several deep breaths, and then leaned over and said, "General, Gong didn't intend to humiliate the general, but from Li Yi's consideration. Although the general's occupation of Yanzhou is better than Cao Cao's, the difference is not that big. Only the general and Cao Cao are fighting endlessly in Yanzhou. This is what Li Yi wants to see the most. Therefore, if the general refuses to give generous gifts, it will be really difficult for Li Yi to help the general. Even when Cao Cao is at a disadvantage, Li Yi may still Maybe they will secretly help Cao Cao."

"He dares!"

Lu Bu's anger was still not dissipated, he glared and shouted angrily, but he was thinking about Chen Gong's words in his heart, frowning from time to time, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

Seeing that Lu Bu had listened, Chen Gong said immediately afterward: "The general wants to take Yanzhou, five points are in the general's own hands, two points are in Cao Cao's hands, and the other two points are in Li Yi's hands. The bigger picture matters.”

Lu Bu didn't answer, but asked, "Is there one more point at the end?"

Chen Gong said softly: "It depends on God's will in the end."

Lu Bu felt a little anxious, got up and walked back and forth. He originally thought that with the help of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, seizing Yanzhou would be a very simple matter, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome, and he still had to look at Li Yi's face, which made Lu Bu feel really uncomfortable .

As for Lu Lingqi, at the beginning Lu Bu also thought about making Li Yi his son-in-law, but when Li Yi married Fushou, Lu Bu gave up on this idea. After all, a concubine is not so much a marriage as a daughter. He, Lu Bu, couldn't afford to lose face, and at the same time, he couldn't bear to let his daughter be wronged.

After struggling for a while, Lu Bu felt that it was okay to lower his head occasionally for the sake of big things, but he couldn't do anything about betraying his daughter, so he asked again: "Let Li Yi help me, and get rid of Lingqi, is there no other way?"

"This"

Chen Gong was a little confused for a while, he really wanted Li Yi to be Lu Bu's son-in-law.

Don't look at Chen Gong's vows to Lu Bu, as if it would be easy to win Yanzhou according to his plan, but as the saying goes, before thinking about victory, think about defeat. Chen Gong asked Lu Bu to send Lu Lingqi to Li Yi as a concubine. In addition to asking Li Yi to send troops to help, At the same time, just in case, if something happens to Lu Bu in the future, even if Li Yi is not very happy because of his relationship with Li Yi, for the sake of reputation, he has to accept Lu Bu and give Lu Bu a place to live. , can be regarded as a very important backhand.

It's just that although Chen Gong was thoughtful, he couldn't tell Lu Bu directly, because although Lu Bu coveted Yanzhou, but Lu Bu hadn't made up his mind yet, if he told him at this time that he failed, maybe Lu Bu would quit. This is not what Chen Gong wants to see.

Seeing that Chen Gong remained silent for a long time, Lu Bu asked again, "Does Gongtai have a plan?"

Chen Gong sighed in his heart, and said: "It's not that there is nothing, it's just that I'm really not sure."

Lu Bu didn't think much about it, and said, "Gongtai wants to talk about it."

Chen Gong said: "Li Yi and Yuan Shu are deadly enemies, and there will be a battle sooner or later, and Li Yi also has a grudge with Kong Rong. It is rumored that Li Yi will not only kill Kong Rong, but also take his wife and concubine. Therefore, the general can tell Li Yi I promise that whether Li Yi attacks Yangzhou or Yuzhou in the future, the general is willing to send [-] elite soldiers to help, if Li Yi is tempted, he may help the general, but the palace is not sure how Li Yi will make a decision."

Lu Bu didn't think about the possibility Chen Gong said, but was surprised: "It takes [-] soldiers, so many!"

Chen Gongdao: "Not much, this time Li Yi sent troops to Xuzhou with 3 people, and now the lord has a request from him, if he doesn't promise much, how can Li Yi agree?"

Lu Bu was very confused, so he asked Gao Shun again, "What do Boping think?"

Gao Shun's position was still very clear, and he also felt that [-] soldiers were too many, so he said: "It seems a bit too much, but if Fengxian doesn't want to send troops for the time being, but wait for Li Yi and Cao Cao to have a conflict in Xuzhou, and then go back Let's do it, how about it?"

As soon as Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he wanted to agree immediately, but Chen Gong was the first to say: "No!"

Lu Bu was taken aback, and asked, "Why not?"

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said: "Soldiers are expensive, and the general's strength is not as good as Cao Cao's. The advantage of planning today is to catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared, so this matter must not be delayed. Otherwise, once Cao Cao notices the news and returns to the army, or the accident in Yanzhou spreads to Xuzhou, Li Yi If you choose to stop fighting with Cao Cao, isn't it too late to regret it?"

Lu Bu opened his mouth. He felt that what Chen Gong and Gao Shun said made sense, but he really didn't know how to make the final decision.

Seeing this, Chen Gong persuaded: "General, don't lose the big because of small things, the only way to marry Li Yi is the perfect strategy."
