Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"Where, where."

Xun You was also polite, pointing to a wooden box next to him and said: "My lord knows that Gongtai is a think tank in Yanzhou. For a small gift, I hope the public will not refuse!"

Chen Gong did not go to see the gift, given Yanzhou's current situation, even if he was given a mountain of gold and silver, it would be difficult for Chen Gong to be happy.

After saying thank you politely, Chen Gong ordered people to bring drinks to treat Xun You. Xun You was kind and honest, and he was indeed hungry, so he used food and wine, but Xun You had to judge the food and drink while eating, or Whether to use more salt or less salt, or if the wine is strong and light, or even compared with the food in Jingzhou, and then make a suggestion to Chen Gong, it is heard that Chen Gong has no appetite at all, if it is not for the identities of the two of them. However, if others saw this scene, they would probably think that Xun You was setting up a shop next door and throwing things at him.

Looking at Xun You's posture, Chen Gong's face was cloudy and uncertain. After finally waiting for the banquet to be withdrawn and dismissing the waiters, Chen Gong finally couldn't help asking: "Why did Gongda come here? Is it just to pick on the food?" Is it not working?"

Xun You didn't seem to notice the dissatisfaction in Chen Gong's tone, smiled slightly, and said: "It's about the same, but it's a pity that the food in Yanzhou is not as sweet and delicious as that in Jingzhou. I’m about to return to Jingzhou, but it’s a pity that Gongtai is such a great talent, but he has to keep company with these simple things.”

Chen Gong lowered his head slightly, with a sullen face, and did not speak, because the meaning in Xun You's words seemed to be to attract him.

Before Chen Gong could react, Xun You sighed again: "Unfortunately, in a few days, Gongtai will probably become Cao Cao's sword ghost, and I'm afraid that even this simple food and drink will not be blessed by then. It's a pity , What a pity!"

Chen Gong said in a deep voice: "Gongda's visit, Mr. Chen treats each other with courtesy, but he ridiculed me like this. Could it be that he is going to be that bad guest? If so, forgive Mr. Chen for not having time to entertain him!"

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he stood up and made a gesture to leave, but Chen Gong took two steps, but he didn't see any reaction from Xun You. Looking back, he saw that Xun You was still tasting wine, as if he didn't care about his departure at all. Don't mind mediocre.

Chen Gong's complexion changed, and finally, he gritted his teeth and returned to his seat to sit down.

Seeing this, Xun You couldn't help but draw a smile on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as the two met, Chen Gong put on airs modestly, and Xun You naturally wanted to get back this face. It was not that Xun You was narrow-minded, but that he wanted to seek the best interests for Li Yi, so naturally he wanted to get back this face. It is best to overwhelm Chen Gong at the end.

Seeing Chen Gong sitting down angrily, Xun You didn't force him too much, and asked, "My lord heard that Marquis Wen was injured by Guan Yu a few days ago. I don’t know what the public opinion is and what I think?”

Chen Gong took a deep breath, did not answer, but asked instead: "What a news from the Marquis Xiang."

Xun You smiled, and Chen Gong finally replied: "Marquis Wen did have a battle with Guan Yu a few days ago, but he was not injured. Now he is mobilizing troops and horses. When the time is right, he can lead troops to retake Juye at any time. Enter Rencheng."

"I see."

Xun You nodded with a dazed face, and asked again: "But, Gongtai has always been in Chenliu, to stabilize the rear for Marquis Wen, mobilize food and grass, and rarely come to the front line, but this time, Gongtai has already stayed in Changyi. It’s been seven or eight days? What’s the reason?”

Chen Gong opened his mouth, speechless, because his itinerary was indeed abnormal, and there was no suitable reason to cover it up.

Xun You said again: "Back then when Marquis Wen was seriously injured by Guan Yu when he was in Hulao, he almost died. That time it was my lord who rescued Marquis Wen with a wonderful method. Therefore, my lord knows exactly how Marquis Wen is recovering. And Guan Yu's martial arts are not much different from Wen Hou's, this time the two will fight again, the result is already in my master's expectation."

Xun You's words were half true and half false, but Chen Gong was deceived. He only thought that Li Yi really knew that Lu Bu's martial arts were not as good as before, so he relaxed and couldn't help sighing softly, which was regarded as admitting what he said before. There is moisture in it.

Xun You smiled, and then said seriously: "Gongtai is a resourceful man. Wen Hou was able to fight against Cao Cao before, and it was all because of Wen Hou, but Wen Hou was accidentally injured. Forgive me, I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future." Confront Cao Cao, and then it will take three months at the earliest, or half a year at the slowest, and Marquis Wen will surely be defeated by Cao Cao, and then Marquis Wen’s life will certainly be at stake, and Gongtai will have to kill him with an axe.”

"However, my lord knows that Gongtai has a strategy in his belly, and now it's a troubled time. It's the time for a good man to make great achievements. I really can't bear to let Gongtai be buried here. Therefore, I specially asked Xun to invite Gongtai to serve in Jingzhou. I don't know what Gongtai thinks. ?”

Chen Gong was not angry this time, but he didn't agree either. He shook his head slowly and refused, "Xianghou's kindness, Chen Gong understands, but Wenhou's break with Cao Cao is due to Wenhou's own reasons, but also because of Mrs. Chen's help. Now that Marquis Wen is in trouble, it is not right for Chen Gong to abandon Marquis Wen."

In the middle of Chen Gong's speech, he suddenly stopped, then raised his head, and looked at Xun You again, his eyes were full of suspicion.

Seeing this, Xun You couldn't help but secretly said it was a pity, he didn't expect Chen Gong to react so quickly.

Chen Gong was a little angry at this time. At first, he really thought that Li Yi was trying to recruit him, but when he talked about Lu Bu's betrayal of Cao Cao, he couldn't help but think of some of Li Yi's arrangements at the beginning, and then he immediately came back to his senses However, Li Yi's goal has always been Yanzhou, not just Chen Gong.

Then, the purpose of Xun You's coming here is worth pondering.

Chen Gong squinted his eyes and looked at Xun You steadfastly. He didn't feel embarrassed that Xun You was seen through, as if nothing had happened, he just skipped the section just now, and asked: "Now the situation of Marquis Wen is critical, don't you know? Does the public platform have a way to deal with it?"

Chen Gong said indifferently: "Marquis Wen has his own decision on this matter, I dare not bother Marquis Xiang!"

Xun You chuckled, and asked, "So, Gongtai has a perfect plan to avenge Brother Bian?"

Chen Gong was speechless, he really wanted to say that he could do it, but Cao Cao equalized Lv Bu's advantage earlier, now if he said that he could easily defeat Cao Cao, it would be too shameless.

Xun You laughed lightly and said, "So, Gongtai wants to defeat Cao Cao, and then kill him as a gift of revenge. There is no other way but to ask my lord for help!"

Chen Gonghu let out a turbid breath, and asked mockingly: "Help Xianghou, but Xianghou's appetite is probably more than just Cao Cao, right?"

Xun You admitted with a smile: "Yes, my Lord sent troops to Yanzhou and traveled long distances, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources. Naturally, we need some rewards."

Chen Gong remained silent. Before Gao Shun persuaded Lu Bu to ask Li Yi for help, but Lu Bu refused. Apart from Lu Bu's own awkwardness, another very important reason is that the current Li Yi feels too aggressive. Yangzhou was swallowed by Li Yi. If Li Yi came to Yanzhou to clean up Cao Cao, would Li Yi let Yanzhou go?

Then this is the wolf into the house.

Don't look at Lu Bu who would criticize Li Yi from time to time, saying that Li Yi couldn't do anything without him back then, but Chen Gong knew very well that Lu Bu was never afraid of Cao Cao, no matter whether he won or lost, but Li Yi, Lu Bu was real. Cowardly before fighting.

Lu Bu was afraid that Li Yi would come to Yanzhou.

Chen Gong sighed in his heart and asked, "I don't know what the Marquis Xiang is asking for?"

Xun You smiled and said, "It's not in a hurry. The key is that my lord sent troops to Yanzhou, but we need Marquis Wen to lead the way for me."

Chen Gong got it right and immediately asked, "Could it be that you want Marquis Wen to send troops to Yingchuan?"

"It's Yingchuan!"

Chen Gong's mouth moved, he wanted to scold shamelessly, although he didn't know Li Yi's plan after getting Yingchuan, but this step alone would make Lu Bu bear a bad name, and Li Yi was really shameless to take advantage of it.

Chen Gong continued to ask patiently: "Then what then?"

Xun You said leisurely: "Give up Chenliu, and I will garrison the army."

Chen Gong's face immediately changed. However, what he didn't expect was that Xun You was not finished yet, and continued: "After defeating Cao Cao, Jiyin and Shanyang will also be surrendered to my lord."

At this moment, Chen Gong couldn't bear it any longer, and angrily scolded with a blushing face, "Marquis Xiang is so deceptive, he really thinks that there is no one in Yanzhou!"

Chapter 626

At this moment Chen Gong was really angry, not to mention that it was only Xun You who was in front of him, even if Li Yi came in person, he would still scold him.

Now half of the land in Dongjun has been taken by Yuan Shao, and it is the area north of the Yellow River. Neither Lu Bu nor Chen Gong thinks they can get it back, even if they defeat Cao Cao.

But Li Yi was even more greedy than Yuan Shao. He opened his mouth and took half of the remaining Yanzhou territory, and what was left to Lu Bu was the "enemy-occupied area" after the baptism of war. It can't be compared with Chenliu and other places at all!

So, how could Chen Gong tolerate Xun You's greedy demands like robbers, and his attitude of treating Lu Bu and him as fools?

Seeing Chen Gong's violent reaction, Xun You was not at all surprised, because he would have to go crazy if this happened to him.

"Don't be impatient when the public platform is a little safe, and don't be impatient when it's a little safe."

Xun You stretched out his hands and pressed down lightly, signaling Chen Gong not to worry, but Chen Gong didn't give face, still staring at Xun You with a bad expression, sneered: "Well, don't be impatient, I also want to ask Your Excellency, if someone If you want to take Jingbei from Marquis Xiang, let's see if Marquis Xiang can stay safe!"

Xun You was not annoyed, but shook his head lightly and said, "Gongtai is just joking. With my lord's power, hehe, who in the world dares to move Jingbei? Yuan Shao and Li Jue can't, and Cao Cao can't even. Or is it that Gongtai thinks Lu Wenhou has that?" ability?"

Chen Gong's face turned red immediately.

The most useless thing in negotiation is not how clever the other party's methods are, nor how many traps are hidden in the words, but the absolute strength gap between the two!

Chen Gong is like this now, he is not afraid that Xun You will scheme against him, but the power behind them is too strong, even if he sees through many schemes, there is nothing he can do.
