"Domination of the world is just around the corner!"
Zhou Yu also smiled.
"Gong Jin, have you ever thought about changing the name of this ship?"
Sun Ce asked.
"How about calling me Long Teng?"
Zhou Yu thought for a while and said.
"Soaring Dragon Ten Thousand Miles? Yes, a good name."
Sun Ce nodded.
The two of them stood on the warship, following the dragon as it sailed away. Their hearts had long drifted to Jiujiang County. It had always been their common dream to expand their territories and create hegemony.
…
When Chen Gong traveled to Jiujiang County, it didn't go as smoothly as he imagined. The main reason was that Lu Bu was famous and notorious, and it was difficult for Yuan Shu's rebel generals to believe in Lu Bu's character.
The first stop of Chen Palace was to the place where Han Xian was stationed in Hefei. At that time, Han Xian and Lu Bu attacked Shouchun together, but Lu Bu robbed the property halfway and ran away.
Without a fierce general like Lu Bu to lead the battle, Han Xian had no idea of attacking Shouchun, so he stayed in Hefei, occupied the land and became king, and went on his own!
As Chen Gong was Lu Bu's envoy, Han Xian did not embarrass Chen Gong too much. However, after hearing Chen Gong's words, Han Xian looked a little strange and said, "Marquis Wen, do you still have any credibility?"
"General, the prince only retreated because he was concerned about Yuan Shu's feelings."
"But when the prince was besieged by Cao's thieves, Yuan Shu did not send troops to rescue him. The relationship was broken, so the prince naturally attacked Yuan Shu without any scruples!"
Chen Gong said without changing his expression.
"I'll just believe you."
Han Xian remembered that this was not the case. It was clearly Lu Bu who had looted a large amount of property, and he felt that Shouchun City was difficult to attack, so he evacuated.
Now the people in Zhongli City still have a bad impression of Lu Bu, and he is the kind of person who wants to be spat on behind his back.
But seeing Chen Gong's words so confidently, Han Xian felt that his memory had caused an illusion. In fact, Lu Bu was not such a greedy person!
"But Shouchun City is so tall that it cannot be conquered by my troops and horses alone. Let Marquis Wen lead the troops and horses to launch the offensive first, and we will follow up later."
Han Xian politely rejected Chen Gong's request. He had learned his lesson now. Before seeing the benefits, Han Xian was too lazy to send troops.
As long as he sees Lu Bu attacking Shouchun City and feels there is an opportunity, Han Siam will send troops!
"General, you don't know something. Yuan Shu's Shouchun City has stored a large amount of gold and silver jewelry. As long as the prince captures Shouchun City, these gold and silver treasures will be given to the general!"
A successful lobbyist must naturally understand the target's preferences. Chen Gong has already investigated and found that Han Xian has a special liking for gold and silver treasures and is the type who can't put them down.
In this case, Chen Gong would take the right medicine. Although he didn't know if there were gold and silver in Shouchun City, as long as he could fool Han Xian, the rest wouldn't matter.
"really?"
Han Xian looked puzzled and said doubtfully.
After all, Yuan Shu had been eating, drinking and having fun all day long, so he forced himself into this situation. Even if he used gold and silver, he was afraid that Yuan Shu would squander it, so Han Xian didn't quite believe what Chen Gong said.
"It's absolutely true. If you conquer Xiapi City, you will definitely send these gold, silver and jewels to us."
Chen Gong smiled.
"Well, I am willing to send troops to assist Marquis Wen and attack tyrants like Yuan Shu!"
Han Xian hesitated again and again and finally made up his mind.
Han Xian didn't have much resistance to gold and silver treasures. Since Chen Gong said he had it, he must have it. After all, there was no way Chen Gong could prove it.
Han Xian believed that Chen Gong would not lie to him. After all, his anger was no joke!
"General, this is a wise choice."
After a lot of effort, Chen Gong finally talked Han Xian through and headed non-stop to Liyang where Yang Feng was.
Yang Feng was also a general who joined Lu Bu in the crusade against Yuan Shu. When he saw Lu Bu walking to Zhongli and plundering a group of escapees, Yang Feng set foot in Liyang.
Yang Feng's temper was notoriously bad, and it was obviously very difficult to convince Yang Feng. Sure enough, as expected, as Chen Gong expected, Yang Feng gave him a blow as soon as he entered Liyang.
Fortunately, Chen Gong was quick-witted and resolved a conflict with a few words, but Yang Feng had no intention of meeting Chen Gong.
Just spend it like this until Chen Gong can't sit still and leave!
"General, don't you want to be the governor of Jiujiang County?"
Chen Gong wandered around the city with nothing to do every day, and he finally found the opportunity. When Yang Feng came out to do something, Chen Gong immediately stepped forward and spoke.
"You're not talking nonsense. Who doesn't want the governor of Jiujiang County?"
Yang Feng said angrily.
Originally, he didn't want to talk to Chen Gong, but Chen Gong clung to him like a fly. He had no choice but to answer Chen Gong.
When Chen Gong saw Yang Feng's answer, he knew there was something going on!
Yang Feng's hobbies are not gold and silver, but official positions. Yang Feng is an official fan and only wants a high position.
Even though he is located in Liyang City, he is always looking forward to serving as the prefect of Jiujiang County.
"As long as the general can cooperate with the prince and capture Shouchun City, the prince can promise the general the position of governor of Jiujiang County."
Chen Gong said in a deep voice.
"Fuck you, why did Lu Bu promise that the governor of Jiujiang County and the mere Marquis Wen are qualified to appoint officials?"
Yang Feng was not as easy to fool as Han Xian, and he also had a very bad temper. He would scold him whenever he disagreed, and he would deal with Chen Gong with a slap in the face.
"The current kings and princes can't do it, but it doesn't mean that the future kings and princes can't do it!"
"As long as you defeat Yuan Shu, you will be able to obtain the jade seal and be recognized by heaven. When the time comes, the king will proclaim himself emperor in one fell swoop and promise to be the general and governor of Jiujiang County. Isn't it a simple matter?"
Chen Gong was not irritated by Yang Feng's attitude at all and spoke forcefully.
"really?"
Yang Feng was really moved by what Chen Gong said.
It is known to everyone that the imperial seal is in the hands of Yuan Shu, otherwise Yuan Shu would not dare to proclaim himself emperor easily.
After all, Yuan Shu had the imperial seal in hand, which made Yuan Shu mistakenly believe that he was the destined emperor. He ignored the objections of all officials and forcibly ascended the throne. He suffered direct backlash, and now he is at the end of his rope.
If Lu Bu obtains the imperial seal and wants to proclaim himself emperor, as long as he is given the position of prefect of Jiujiang County, then whether Lu Bu lives or dies has nothing to do with him.
Even if Lu Bu fell to Yuan Shu's end, it would be Lu Bu who reaped the consequences and had nothing to do with him, Yang Feng.
As long as Yang Feng has the credibility of the Jiujiang County Governor he is appointed to, the rest is not important.
"Of course, the general himself has the status of a prefect, let alone the prefect of Jiujiang County. As long as the prince takes over the entire Yangzhou, it is not a problem for him to even give Yangzhou herd to the general."
Chen Gong boasted that he didn't make any drafts and directly drew the cake for Yang Feng. Even Yangzhou Mu said it.
But Yang Feng just accepted this trick, nodded and said: "Okay, I am willing to send troops!"
"Then if Lu Bu breaks through Shouchun City and obtains the imperial seal, I hope Lu Bu will not forget this agreement, otherwise I will risk my life to make Lu Bu look good!"
The words were full of threats, but Chen Gong just smiled casually, nodded and said: "General, don't worry, the prince will never break his promise!"
Chen Gong secretly laughed in his heart, this Yang Feng is also a fool, does he really think that the prince will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?
It's really stupid, but being able to fool such idiots into fighting can be regarded as such idiots showing their value. Otherwise, in this troubled world, we don't know how to die.
