After persuading Yang Feng, Chen Gong set off again and met with Generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan.
These two generals lived in Yanshan Mountain and did not occupy any city to separate their own territory.
Because they feel that as long as the enemy comes, they will hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and the enemy will not be able to attack them.
The most difficult thing for the imperial court to eradicate is the forces that rely on copycats to survive. The cost of liquidation is too high and is not very cost-effective.
The two generals are also the essence of the deep. Occupying the city is too conspicuous and can easily attract the prying eyes of the princes. It is better to live in the mountains, so that you can live at ease.
Chen Gong walked on the mountain road for a long time, and relied on the bandit's recommendation to find the home of Lei Bo and Chen Lan.
"The palace pays homage to the two generals."
Chen Gong bowed his hands politely.
"No need to be polite."
Lei Bo and Chen Lan are both rough men and don't care about details.
The two were quite surprised that Lu Bu sent an envoy to talk to them.
I don’t know what kind of medicine Lu Bu sells in his gourd.
It can be said that Lu Bu has become famous recently. He killed several generals of Cao's army and forced Cao's thieves back. This battle directly reminded the world of the demeanor of the best in the world under Hulao Pass!
"Why did you come here this time?"
Chen Lan asked.
Compared to Lei Bo, Chen Lan was more thoughtful and knew that it was Lu Bu who wanted to ask for something, otherwise he wouldn't have come to them!
"If you want to defeat Yuan Shu, a tyrant who does all kinds of evil, you need the help of two people!"
Chen Gong got straight to the point.
"Oh, as far as I know, there are many powerful enemies around Lu Bu. If they attack Shouchun City, aren't you afraid of breaking your own teeth?"
Lei Bo smiled.
"Shouchun City is not that easy to fight. Lu Bu is overestimating his capabilities."
Chen Lan echoed.
In the eyes of the two generals, Lu Bu was seeking death. Although Yuan Shu was desperate, Shouchun City's tenacious resistance could not be broken in a short time.
The enemies around Lu Bu were all eyeing Lu Bu. Under such circumstances, Lu Bu could not spare many troops.
The two generals did not believe that they wanted to capture Shouchun City with only a meager force. Even if Lu Bu was the best in the world, he would still be defeated against a city like Shouchun City.
After all, even if Yuan Shu fell into this situation, he still had many disciples who were loyal to the Yuan family. The gathering of so much righteousness was enough to make up for the lack of public opinion.
With Yuan Shu's reckless behavior, Shouchun City definitely has no public opinion at all, but with a large number of Confucian scholars in charge, Yuan Shu can remain invincible.
This is the benefit of being able to win over a large number of Confucian scholars for his own use, and to rely on the power of Haoran's righteousness to do things that are contrary to his will!
With Haoran's righteousness and the city defense of Shouchun City, I am afraid that even an army of 100,000 people would not be able to defeat it.
After all, Yuan Shu had already reduced the defense line, built Shouchun City into a tortoise shell, and placed all the civil servants and military officers loyal to him in Shouchun City. Such a tortoise shell was frightening.
Even Cao Cao in the original history did not launch a large army to attack Shouchun City, but only blocked Yuan Shu from going north to join Yuan Shao. In the end, Yuan Shu died of illness.
Yuan Shu's son-in-law was afraid of Cao Cao's military attack, so he voluntarily abandoned Shouchun City and took refuge with the prefect of Lujiang.
At this time, there were also differences among Yuan Shu's subordinates. When Yuan Shu's son-in-law sought refuge with the Lujiang Prefect, Chief Shi Yang Hong and General Zhang Xun wanted to defect to Sun Ce, but they were all caught by the Lujiang Prefect.
However, this gave Sun Ce leverage to attack. The next year, Sun Ce captured Lujiang County and captured Yuan Shu's family. His daughter married Sun Quan as his wife, and his son became a doctor in the state of Wu. His fate was not miserable.
It was also at this time that Sun Ce got Da Qiao and Zhou Yu got Xiao Qiao, which became a legend.
This fully shows that if Yuan Shu had not died of illness, it would have been difficult for Shouchun City to change hands. After all, its geographical location was special, as it was the convergence of three water streams, and it was surrounded by several mountains for support.
In such terrain, it is difficult for infantry and cavalry to take action. The defenders of Shouchun City only need to place a few troops on the mountain, defend from a high position, and cooperate well with Shouchun City to give the attackers a hard time!
The weakest point in Shouchun City is Hefei in the south. The offensive was launched from Hefei and the whole area was flat. Now Hefei City has not fallen into Yuan Shu's hands. This is a God-given opportunity.
Otherwise, the cavalry and infantry led by Lu Bu might not have reached Shouchun City yet, and most of them would have been killed or wounded. The complicated terrain, coupled with the rapid water flow, would not be so easy to survive.
Jiangdong's army could follow the current and kill them, but they still had to land ashore and remove all the strongholds on the mountain before they could launch an offensive against Shouchun City.
Due to various geographical advantages, Shouchun City is impregnable, which is why Yuan Shu hunkered down in Shouchun City.
This was also the reason why the two generals did not believe that Lu Bu could conquer Shouchun City.
"The two generals are overly worried. Since the prince has decided to attack Yuan Shu, he is naturally confident that he can defeat Shouchun City."
"The palace has persuaded Yang Feng and Han Xian to jointly attack Yuan Shu. Hefei's gates are wide open. This is a good opportunity to take Shouchun City directly. I hope the two generals will know about it."
Chen Gong already had confidence in his heart, and convincing Yang Feng and Han Xian was his capital.
With the march route to Hefei, taking Shouchun City will get twice the result with half the effort. Attacking from other routes will more or less encounter resistance.
Now, the only thing to consider is how to persuade Han Xian to open Hefei to allow Lu Bujun to pass.
Chen Gong can basically solve the rest of the problems one by one.
Lei Bo and Chen Lan looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's hearts, and asked, "Really?"
"It's absolutely true. With the two generals Yang Feng and Han Siam joining us, don't we still have the capital to overthrow Yuan Shu?"
Chen Gong smiled.
When Chen Lan heard this, he was even more surprised. He didn't know how Chen Gong persuaded the two men to attack Yuan Shu together, but when Chen Gong presented the token, Chen Lan could only choose to believe it.
After all, these tokens can represent Yang Feng and Han Xian themselves. Since the tokens appear on Chen Gong, either Yang Feng and Han Xian have been killed by Chen Gong, or they have been persuaded by Chen Gong.
Chen Lan felt that the latter was more likely. After all, if Yang Feng and Han Xian died, the entire Jiujiang County would be in chaos. How could they not know it?
With the help of two generals, Yang Feng and Han Siam, Lu Bu indeed had the capital to fight. At least he had a suitable marching route and would not be manipulated by the terrain of Shouchun City.
Both Lei Bo and Chen Lan actually intended to attack Shouchun City, but they were delayed because Shouchun City was too easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, Lei Bo and Chen Lan still needed to discuss it before they could give an answer, so they said: "You go down first and let us think about it!"
"You two are such cowards. The hatred for taking your wife is irreconcilable. You two are so indifferent. It's really ridiculous!"
Chen Gong suddenly shook his head and said.
"you!"
Chen Lan was furious, obviously having her scars uncovered.
"court death!"
Lei Bo even wanted to take action to kill Chen Gong, a boy who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth!
When Chen Gong saw the reaction between the two, his smile became even brighter. It seemed that the provocation method was still effective.
Before coming, Chen Gong did his homework and knew that the wives of Lei Bo and Chen Lan were beautiful, and they were attracted by Yuan Shu and took them away by force!
That's why the two generals want to take revenge on Yuan Shu. After all, his wife was taken away, and this revenge must be avenged!
It can only be said that Yuan Shu was the cause of his own misfortune. During this period, his absurd behavior offended many people. Chen Gong only needed to unite these people to make Yuan Shu eat a pot!
