When Liu Bei's army arrived at Xiapi City, Lu Bu led Chen Gong and others to greet them with smiles on their faces.
Zhao Chen was slightly amazed. The leader wore a purple gold crown with three prongs on his head, a Xichuan red brocade hundred-flower robe on his body, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, an exquisite lion belt on his waist, and a red horse on his crotch. The whole person is full of heroic spirit.
"Lu Bu looks exactly like Lu Bu in the game Dynasty Warriors!"
The most powerful general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the pinnacle of the entire Kyushu force, once the favorite of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, is now Diao Chan's support. With such a posture, ordinary generals cannot match him.
"Lu Bu among men, red rabbit among horses" is indeed not for nothing.
The frail, middle-aged man with a mustache behind him must be Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai.
There is also a general with a civilized face on the other side, who looks like a general from a distance.
As soon as Lu Bu met him, he boasted about Liu Bei's attack on Cao Cao's camp last night.
Liu Bei said humbly: "The strategy devised by my military advisor, the bravery of Third Brother and General Ziyi, and the courage of the soldiers to charge into battle have nothing to do with Bei."
Lu Bu smiled, his eyes skipping Liu Bei and falling on Zhao Chen.
I saw Zhao Chen, wearing a green shirt and a mountain crown. The jade pendant around his waist was particularly attractive. His eyes were bright and full of wisdom. "Is this Military Advisor Xuande?"
"I have met Marquis Wen, I am Zhao Chen and Zhao Houde."
Zhao Chen answered neither humble nor arrogantly.
Lu Bu nodded, raised his head and looked back, and saw 20,000 soldiers and horses standing in the wind, all uniform, with sharp eyes like eagles, and tall and straight postures like pine trees. The leading officers were tall and mighty, standing at the top of the team. Ahead, every move exudes a sense of majesty and oppression.
Lu Bu sighed in his heart, what a troop!
Chen Gong's eyes were fixed on Zhao Chen, and he was secretly amazed. He thought that the person who could have such a strategy would be an old man, but he didn't expect to be so young. If we give it time and accumulate more experience, I am afraid it will be difficult to have an opponent in Kyushu!
This man followed Liu Bei closely, almost walking side by side with Liu Bei, followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him, which showed that Liu Bei valued him.
Chen Gong grinned, his head aching secretly.
The more elite Liu Bei's army becomes and the wiser Zhao Chen becomes, the more worried he becomes.
He pointed behind him and said hurriedly: "You don't have to be like this, Mr. Xuande, we are old acquaintances."
There was caution in his tone.
The soldiers behind Liu Bei all heard something about it, and their anger gradually grew in their hearts.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, looked indifferent.
"It's okay to come to the public platform!"
Chen Gong looked sideways and smiled and replied: "Thanks to Duke Xuande, I slept well in Xiapi City."
Zhao Chen couldn't bear to listen to such words that really deserved a beating.
Otherwise, if Liu Bei was kind enough to take you in, there would be no place for you to stay. Now, in return for his kindness, he has taken away his territory and said that you can sleep well in the city.
Isn't this something that deserves a beating?
It's no wonder that in history, Chen Gong was a man with a strong personality, and he was straightforward in his speech. Many good strategies were not adopted by Lu Bu. To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to listen to his straightforward words.
Liu Bei couldn't help but smile and replied: "That's good!"
Only then did Lu Bu come to his senses and said, "It's so enviable that Duke Xuande has such a team!"
Liu Bei replied: "General Lu has given me the reward. Now that Cao Cao is attacking, why don't we discuss the countermeasures first?"
Hearing this, Chen Gong winked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu ignored it, and together with Zhang Liao and others, directly invited Liu Bei and others into Xiapi City.
Chen Gong was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed in his heart, "You can't be with me!"
It turned out that just before Liu Bei's army arrived, Lu Bu and others were still discussing the placement of Liu Bei's army.
Chen Gong took the lead and said: "The general must not take it lightly. Our army took Xuzhou from Liu Bei when he went south to resist Yuan Shu. He must be resentful. Although he agreed to go north to support our army in fighting Cao Cao this time, he must not be unprepared for Liu Bei. , when Cao Cao repulsed them, it was the day when Liu Bei planned to capture Xuzhou!"
Lu Bu frowned and said, "Is Gongtai too cautious? Liu Bei was the one I invited through my letter to help me defeat Cao Cao. He doesn't want to plot against me, Xuzhou."
Zhang Liao really couldn't stand it. He not only begged others to come to rescue him, but also was wary of the other party.
He said softly: "Mr. Gongtai, Liao believes that Liu Xuande is not a person who breaks his promise."
Chen Gong was a little impatient and continued to persuade: "Liu is trusted, but what about Zhao Chen? In troubled times, the strong bully the weak, and there is no reason for trust."
Lu Bu turned around and asked, "Then why did Liu Bei not attack when I captured his city?"
"This moment is the same as that moment!"
Chen Gong turned to Lu Bu and argued with him.
"General, you know that our army captured Liu Bei's Xiapi before when he and Yuan Shu were anxious. Moreover, Liu Bei's army was not as powerful as ours at that time. Liu Bei was more than willing but not powerful enough to recapture Xiapi from our army. .”
Lu Bu glared at Chen Gong and asked, "Gongtai means that I, Lu Bu, are now inferior to him, Liu Bei?"
Chen Gongcai didn't care about flattery, and directly pointed out Lu Bu's weakness: "The general is superb in martial arts, but the city government is insufficient. Liu Bei is a smiling tiger, hypocritical and righteous. The general asked himself, is it possible for the general to defeat Ji Ling's 30,000 army with only 3,000 weak men?"
Lu Bu shook his head: "With such a huge disparity in military strength, it's naturally impossible."
"Is it possible for a general to defeat Yuan Shu's 80,000-strong army with five thousand men?"
"Well, that's even more impossible!"
"Intercepting Yuan Shu's sneak attack, defeating Sun Ce in the east of the Yangtze River, and attacking Cao Cao's camp at night with 2,000 men, are these generals feasible?"
Lu Bu gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he could only reply truthfully: "It's not me who is the master of scheming, no way!"
After Chen Gong knocked Lu Bu's self-confidence, he said: "Everyone knows that since Zhao Chen and Zhao Houde joined Liu Bei's account, all the impossible things that Gong said before have happened within more than a month. Achieved."
"Liu Bei's army with Zhao Chen is no longer Liu Bei's army in the past. He defeated Huaiyin and captured Guangling. Now the entire Guangling County is in Liu Bei's hands. Shouchun Yuan Shu was frightened by Zhao Chen and did not dare to attack Huaiyin again. Jiangdong Sun Ce and Qu Ah Liu Yao doesn’t dare to send troops to invade Guangling easily.”
"So what? They are all cowards, how can they be compared with me."
Chen Gong shook his head helplessly. This Lu Bu was good at everything, but he was inexplicably confident and often refused to listen to advice.
He could only be patient and said: "Now Liu Beiwen has Zhao Chen, and the military affairs department is in trouble, he must not be allowed to take advantage of him."
At this point, Cao Xing and Song Xian also understood Chen Gong's concerns and persuaded Lu Bu together.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun just didn't speak.
Seeing this, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong impatiently: "What's the plan for Gongtai?"
Chen Gong then revealed his plan: "When Liu Bei comes, you cannot refuse directly, as it is against morality. The general can excuse himself by saying that Xiapi City is small, and there are already 30,000 troops stationed in the city. It really cannot accommodate Liu Bei's army. It is better to ask Liu Bei's army to be stationed in The land twenty miles outside the city forms a horn with the general's army in Xiapi City, which is conducive to resisting Cao Cao. In addition, the general can also give Liu Bei's army five thousand shi of food as a token of gratitude."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "I'll just follow your words."
Chen Gong didn't know that his caution just disrupted Zhao Chen's plan to take advantage of the opportunity to resist Cao Cao and engulf Xuzhou.
But who would have thought that Lu Bu changed his mind in front of the gate and did not listen to Chen Gong's opinion, but generously allowed Liu Bei's army to enter Xiapi City.
Chen Gong could only watch Liu Bei's army enter the city.
Zhao Chen glanced at Chen Gong's ugly face and began to worry about it.
Is this because he is afraid of attracting wolves into the house?
