Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Xun You continued: "Don't misunderstand Gongtai. I have to use power to bully others. The situation in Yanzhou is really critical. Now Cao Cao's troops are getting more and more fierce, but Wen Hou has been repeatedly frustrated. The situation of the battle is clear. Yuan Shao started to intervene, so"

Xun You shook his head and said, "Forgive me, if there is no strong support, Marquis Wen will be defeated! Then dare to ask Gongtai, how will he deal with himself then? And how will Marquis Wen deal with himself?"

Chen Gong remained silent. Although he was very annoyed at Xun You's greed and rudeness, he also knew that what he said was true. Although Lu Bu still occupied half of Yanzhou and had about the same strength as Cao Cao, he still Cao Cao's energy and spirit have been beaten to the point where it won't last long.

As for the future

Chen Gong was even more at a loss, otherwise he would have asked someone to throw Xun You out.

Xun You took a look at Chen Gong and said, "Marquis Wen is as brave as Xiang Yu in the past. From a common sense point of view, even if he was defeated, he would simply bow his head and vote for Yuan Shao. Unfortunately, Marquis Wen turned against Ding Yuan first, and then Backing Dong Zhuo, in Yanzhou, he was more hostile, and once put Cao to death. Alas, it is a pity, the reputation of Marquis Wen is already frightening. Even if Yanzhou was defeated by chance, he escaped with his life, but the world is so big, except my lord, maybe he can still care about it. Old love, who else dares to accommodate Marquis Wen?"

Chen Gong clenched his fists, and his teeth were clenched. Others don't know, so why can't he be clear? Lu Bu did have a lot of repetitions, but two out of three times he was inseparable from Li Yi, and Li Yi was the real culprit. culprit.

It's a pity that Chen Gong couldn't say these words.

At Dong Zhuo's time, Lv Bu was treacherous and betrayed, but Li Yi first showed his face in front of the [-]th princes and expressed his position. From the very beginning, he pretended to serve Dong Zhuo, was an undercover agent, and was a loyal person who sacrificed his life and death. scholar.

Even if two people did the same thing in the end, but one is mediocre and the other is praised by the world, it can be said that there is a huge difference.

Later, Lu Bu attacked Cao Cao. Although Li Yi had set the game in the first place, Lu Bu thought he was sure of winning. In addition, he was aware of Li Yi's intentions and didn't want to share the post-war benefits with Li Yi. Leaving aside that Li Yi did it alone, Li Yi was not contacted at all before the incident, so this matter naturally has little to do with Li Yi.

Thinking of those old events, Chen Gong felt tightness in his chest, wishing to vomit three liters of blood.

Casting a glance at Chen Gong, Xun You asked, "What can Gongtai do if Marquis Wen is like this?"

Chen Gong took a deep breath and said, "Isn't Marquis Xiang trying to recruit Marquis Wen?"

Xun You chuckled, then his tone turned cold, and he said, "Before today, if Marquis Wen had nowhere to go and came to Jingzhou, my lord would naturally treat him as a guest, but if what we talked about today doesn't work out, hehe."

Xun You didn't finish what he said later, but Chen Gong already understood that Xun You was threatening him at all. If he cooperates with Li Yi, Lu Bu may lose his benefits now, but he also has a chance to come back and get Li Yi's friendship. However, if Lu Bu rejects Li Yi's kindness, then the two sides will become enemies.

Seeing Chen Gong's slightly struggling expression, Xun You knew that the groundwork was almost done, so he added another fire: "Gongtai assisted Wenhou to be an enemy of Cao Cao for nothing more than to avenge the side. However, Cao Cao himself is ready , there is no shortage of counselors and generals, and he is close friends with Yuan Shaonai of Hebei. Gongtai wants to kill Cao Cao with the hands of Marquis Wen, but it is already impossible. In today's world, the only person who can kill Cao Cao is my master. Can't Taiwan still figure it out!"

As Xun You's words fell, Chen Gong's shoulders suddenly loosened, his head lowered, his back seemed to have no strength, and even his body was a little hunched.

Seeing this, Xun You smiled in his heart. He knew that the matter was over.

Sure enough, not long after, Chen Gong straightened up again and asked, "What is the plan of Marquis Xiang?"

At this time, although Chen Gong was sitting in the same posture as before, both Chen Gong himself and Xun You knew that he had lost his original momentum.

Xun You smiled inwardly, but he didn't relax because of this, he still said step by step: "My lord knows that Wen Hou has a stubborn character, if he sends someone to persuade him directly, or invites Gao Shun as a lobbyist, things will definitely be difficult, but The war cannot be delayed, so I came here to meet Gongtai, hoping that Gongtai can persuade Marquis Wen to ask my lord to send troops to Yanzhou."

Chen Gong nodded silently. After Lu Bu was injured, although Gao Shun persuaded Lu Bu to invite Li Yi to send troops, but Lu Bu refused, but Chen Gong knew that Lu Bu himself would eventually invite Li Yi, but he should wait until Lu Bu was completely desperate. , but at that time, even if Li Yi was invited, it would be useless.

Therefore, Chen Gong himself is also planning to invite Li Yi to send troops, but he is not as straightforward as Gao Shun. He wants to wait a little longer and let Lu Bu suffer a little more. In this case, it will be much easier for Lu Bu to agree .

It's just that Chen Gong didn't expect that Li Yi was more anxious than him, so he sent an envoy, which made him very helpless, and at the same time he had to admire Li Yi's decisiveness.

Chen Gong did not express his opinion on this, and Xun You knew that he had almost agreed, so he continued: "At that time, Marquis Wen will send troops to surprise Yingchuan, and then my lord will use the road to go north to deter Cao Cao for the time being, and restrain his troops and horses. If Cao Cao Don't be afraid, my lord will continue to march into Chenliu, and then stand in a stalemate with Cao Cao, and then wait for the spring plowing, and then look for an opportunity to fight decisively."

"As for after the war is over, that's what I just said, surrender Chenliu, Jiyin, and Shanyang to my lord."

After Xun You said that, he waited for Chen Gong's answer, but to his surprise, Chen Gong didn't argue about Yanzhou's affairs, but instead asked, "How does Xianghou plan to deal with Yuzhou?"

Xun You was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but give Chen Gong a high look in his heart, but he didn't expect him to guess Li Yi's plan so quickly.

However, although Xun You didn't mind revealing some things about Yuzhou, but although Kuai Yue's suggestion was useful, it couldn't be said on the surface, so Xun You thought for a while and said: "My lord asks Wenhou to send troops to Yingchuan. , just for the convenience of going north, so as to avoid other side issues in the middle, and Cao Cao is brutal, killing scholars and slaughtering people indiscriminately, my Lord's military expedition is an act that conforms to the will of heaven and the will of the people."

"As for Yuzhou, although my lord has some displeasure with Kong Rong, he has no covetous heart towards Yuzhou itself. As long as Kong Rong doesn't rush to attack or help Cao Cao, my lord will not attack Yuzhou."

Chen Gong hehe, he didn't believe a word of Xun You's words.

A few days ago, he had heard about Li Yi's cultivation of immortality in Xiangyang, and it was said that he had obtained immortality. In Chen Gong's view, Li Yi's cultivation of immortality was fake, and the truth was to fool the people and prepare for the war.

And today's interview fully exposed Li Yi's ambition

The Yingchuan mentioned by Xun You, together with Chenliu, Jiyin, and Shanyang, together form a machete on Yuzhou's neck, which can cut off Kong Rong's head at any time. Seeing this in advance, he will not sit still.

Even if Kong Rong is a bit stupid and realizes later, as long as Li Yi succeeds in Yanzhou and forms a double-team against Yuzhou, Kong Rong will have to resist if he does not resist at that time. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Li Yi fights Yuzhou.

For a moment, Chen Gong thought about persuading Li Yi to come to Yanzhou to deal with Cao Cao first, and not to conflict with Yuzhou for the time being, but soon, Chen Gong dismissed this idea.

Although Chen Gong knows that Lu Bu's situation is very bad now, and it seems that he may be finished at any time, but Chen Gong is not an ordinary person. Although the situation is critical, he is constantly looking for opportunities in the crisis, and now, finally let him see There is a possibility.

If Li Yi did not extend his hand to Yuzhou, but directly sent troops to Yanzhou for support, Chen Gong would feel that Lu Bu was going to end even if Li Yi had a big mouth, but if Li Yi fell into a two-line battle, the situation would be very different up.

Although Li Yi is very powerful, in the eyes of Chen Gong, none of Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Kong Rong is Li Yi's opponent, but Li Yi wants to fight two against one, which is a bit exaggerated. If Rong Rong falls into a stalemate, or loses to both sides, then Lu Bu, who was originally the weakest side, has the possibility of profiting from the fisherman.

If Lu Bu can seize the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and make Li Yi suffer enough losses in Yanzhou, then Lu Bu can truly monopolize Yanzhou, and then recover his vitality in a year or two, and the future will be promising!

Thinking of this, Chen Gong couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, but on the surface he still had the same deflated and irritated appearance as before.

After a while, Chen Gong finally said: "Although Chen Gong is dissatisfied with the request of Marquis Xiang, but due to the situation, he has no objection."

Xun You's eyes lit up, but he followed Chen Gong and said, "It's just that Chen is not the one who is in charge of this matter, but Wen Hou. Xianghou used to work with Wenhou. Hehe, Xianghou thinks Wenhou can agree. These conditions?"

Xun You said with a smile: "When life and death are at stake, apart from wealth and life, what else can't be given up?"

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "From your point of view, Yanzhou is indeed in dire straits, but in the eyes of Marquis Wen, it may not be so!"

Xun You blinked, understood what Chen Gong said, but almost laughed out loud.

Because Chen Gong was turning a corner and saying that Lu Bu was short-sighted and not smart enough, and he still couldn't understand the situation in front of him.

Chen Gong pretended not to see the weird look on Xun You's face, and he has nothing to do now. In this conversation, Xun You can rely on Li Yi's power, but he has no power to fight, so he can only use Lu Bu as a shield. It is also a helpless move to pour some dirty water on Lu Bu.

Xun You looked at Chen Gong quietly, waiting for his next words.

Chen Gong coughed lightly, and continued: "The Marquis Xiang asked too much. Chenliu, Jiyin, and Shanyang are half of the land in Yanzhou. Don't say that Marquis Wen will not agree, but other Yanzhou colleagues, such as Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, they won’t agree either!”

Xun You remained silent. This asking price was originally a big opening for the lion to wait for the other party to bargain, and he didn't even care how much the other party bargained. Anyway, Li Yi's goal was the entire Yanzhou.

Chen Gong looked at Xun You's expression and couldn't see any clues, so he said: "Let Chen persuade Wenhou to ask Xianghou to send troops, if he just let Chen Liu go, Chen is [-]% sure, but Xianghou wants more. It's not because Chen Gong is unwilling, but because Chen Gong can't!"

Xun You shook his head and said: "Gongtai is just joking. My lord sent troops to Yanzhou this time. The strength of the army must be no less than the conquest of Yangzhou. There is only one Chenliu. How can it compensate for the consumption of Jingzhou? Excuse Xun You's blunt words. The relationship is not good enough for that!"

Seeing Xun You's resolute refusal, Chen Gong narrowed his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's not impossible for Marquis Xiang to want the land of the three counties, but he needs to agree to a few more conditions!"

Xun You asked, "What conditions?"

Chen Gong said slowly: "North of the Yellow River, in the counties of Dongjun, if the Marquis of Xiang can claim it back for the Lord of Yanzhou, Marquis Wen can give up one more place besides Chenliu."

Xun You shook his head lightly. Although exchanging half of Dongjun for Shanyang or Jiyin seems to be a good deal, it is a place occupied by Yuan Shao, and there is a natural danger of the Yellow River. Yuan Shu has to work harder.

Xun You weighed the gains and losses in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "My lord and the Yuan family have always been friends, and the army was raised for no reason. It was not done by benevolent people. It doesn't matter whether there is a big profit or not!"

Hearing Xun You's high-sounding decisiveness, Chen Gong cursed shamelessly. Although Li Yi used to have a good relationship with the Yuan family, after Yangzhou, the two sides have become enemies.
