Chapter 345 Controlling the Yellow River
Chen Long, who transformed into Dragon Ball, had a long conversation with Chen Gongtai. Chen Gong had almost guessed the identity of Dragon Ball, but he still didn't dare to confirm that the fat man sitting opposite him was Chen Long. Rumor has it that Chen Long is famous for being tall and handsome, but Chen Gong is a bit too old-sighted to see whether the man opposite him has any traces of disguise.
When Chen Long saw Chen Gong's face turned red, he knew that something had touched his heart and he knew that he couldn't push too hard. Although Chen Gong had a crush on Chen Long, he still had illusions about Lu Bu Bao. Once he returned to Chenliu, Lu Bu should understand that this defeat was related to betraying the alliance and attacking Puyang. It was Bai Butterfly who insisted that Lu Bu betray the alliance and eliminate Dragon Ball first.
In Chen Gong's heart, he was experiencing a familiar struggle. At first he left everything behind and ran away with Cao Cao, going through many hardships; later he saw through Cao Cao's true nature and chose to join the weak Lu Bu force. Now Lu Bu has obviously disappointed himself, and all his hard-working plans have turned out to be nothing more than mirror images. Not only did Chen Liu have no development, the city could also be annexed by Cao Cao at any time, but he was powerless.
Chen Gong finally recovered from the entanglement and began to seriously consider whether he really wanted Lu Bu to return to Chenliu. This thought made Chen Gong a little scared. Zhang Liao was Chen Liu's second-in-command. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as Lu Bu's, he was a good general. If he assisted Zhang Liao, he might be able to carry forward the Bingzhou cavalry. After thinking about it, since I was willing to give up Lu Bu for Zhang Liao, why not just go to Chen Long?
Chen Long looked away, as if he didn't care about Chen Gong's thoughts at all, just waiting for Chen Gong to speak. Finally, Chen Gong couldn't hold it in any longer and muttered something. Chen Long asked, "What did Gongtai say? I didn't hear clearly."
Chen Gong felt his mouth was wet, and said very unfavorably: "Army Master Long, since General Lu's injury has not recovered yet, why don't you, my lord, stay in Puyang for now and ask you for medical treatment?" Thank you very much for being here!" Chen Gong struggled to say those words, feeling that he was only one step away from abandoning and betraying Lu Bu. He suddenly felt breathless and his face flushed again.
Chen Long laughed when he heard this, and said: "Gongtai, you always give what you say, why are you suddenly not able to ask for words? Okay, I promise you to take good care of Fengxian, and you can take Bai Butterfly back quickly."
Chen Gong was smiling at the beginning, but at the end he couldn't close his mouth and said in shock: "How is this possible?"
Chen Long smiled and said: "It's strange, why not? Isn't Bai Butterfly your Chen Liu's female general? Her broken saber is so long and she is fierce all day long. Take her away quickly so that I can save your lord. ah."
Chen Gong's face turned the color of pig liver from suppressing his emotions, and he couldn't say that he didn't want Bai Butterfly to go back. He murmured with a bitter face: "That mistress is free to come and go, it's my turn to take care of it. But the mistress is here voluntarily." Take care of your lord, that’s all I see.”
Chen Long was so amused that he laughed loudly, kicked the coffee table away, and said, "Gongtai, Gongtai! If you want me to keep the two of them for you, I want the entire Chenliu Waterway!"
Chen Gong was shocked. The entire waterway meant that Puyang and Bingzhou were completely connected through the Yellow River, and there were no more traffic obstacles.
Chen Gong thought about it repeatedly and finally agreed: "Master Long, I am optimistic about Chen Long, so I will let you take this step. Three days after I return to Chenliu, I will transfer Zhang Liao to the southern front to prevent Li Diangle from advancing. You can send troops to Just accept Guandu by the Yellow River. In this way, the Yellow River from Baimajin to Guandu and then to Yanjin will be yours."
Chen Long stood up fiercely and waved his hand and said: "Okay! It's settled. Gongtai, if Chen Liuzhong will not accept it, I will return Guandu to you and let you put out the raging fire that opposes you internally. But, like that If so, don’t hesitate, my lord Chen Long knows people well and cherishes talents like you!"
Chen Gong was shocked. Long Zhu finally admitted that he was Chen Long's subordinate. He shouted to the audience: "Hu Che'er, come forward!"
This time, it was Chen Long's turn to be shocked, Hu Che'er? This name is also very resounding, why does it appear here? He quickly pulled up Hu Che'er's information in his mind and took a look.
In the hall, a muscular man with a strong back and strong waist strode forward. Without bowing, he came forward and crossed his hands in salute.
Chen Gong pointed at Hu Che'er and said: "Master Long, this man's name is Hu Che'er. I rescued him from the dead. He has always been grateful to me for saving his life and is loyal to me. I also respect him." As my nephew. I leave this man beside Military Master Long to obey orders and let him deliver news at any time to and from Chenliu and Puyang to represent my sincerity."
Chen Long looked at the young faces and strong figures in the hall, and the information about Hu Cheer appeared in his mind. According to the official history, this man first joined Zhang Xiu and was a fierce general who was his confidant. He bravely won the three armies and had a good relationship with Jia Xu. After the Battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao loved Hu Che'er's bravery and offered him gold. Later, because Cao Cao secretly adopted the Zou family, the widow of Zhang Xiu's deceased uncle Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu felt deeply humiliated and wanted to kill Cao Cao. After discussing with Jia Xu, he decided to rebel against Cao Cao. Considering Dian Wei's bravery, he ordered Hu Che'er to steal Dian Wei's halberds. In the end, Dian Wei and others died in the battle. Unofficial historians say that Hu Cheer followed Cao Cao in the war and was picked to death by Zhao Yun with a red spear on Changban Slope.
After Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao saw Hu Che'er and admired his bravery very much, so he gave gold to Hu Che'er. Later, because Cao Cao secretly adopted the Zou family, the widow of Zhang Xiu's deceased uncle Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu felt deeply humiliated and wanted to kill Cao Cao. After discussing with Jia Xu, he decided to rebel against Cao Cao. Considering Dian Wei's bravery, he ordered Hu Che'er to steal Dian Wei's halberds. In the end, Dian Wei, Cao Ang (Cao Cao's eldest son), and Cao Anmin (Cao Cao's nephew) all died in this battle. (Refer to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 16: Lu Fengxian shoots the halberd gate and Cao Mengde defeats Jieshui")
It is commented in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "That Hu Che'er can carry five hundred kilograms and travel seven hundred miles a day, which is also extraordinary."
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao were fighting, Hu Cheer got Dian Wei drunk and stole Dian Wei's halberds, causing Dian Wei to die in the battle with Zhang Xiu's army. ("The Romance of the Three Kingdoms·Chapter 16: Lu Fengxian shoots the halberd at the gate and Cao Mengde defeats Jieshui")
According to "Fu Zi" quoted in the "Three Kingdoms·Book of Wei·Zhang Xiu Biography": "Xiu Xiu had a close relationship with Hu Che'er, and he bravely won his army. Taizu loved his bravery and gave him gold. Xiu heard about it and suspected Taizu. Zu Yu rebelled because he stabbed him from both sides." Cao Cao attracted Hu Che'er because he saw the power of Hu Che'er. This is also one of Zhang Xiu's possible motives for assassinating Cao Cao.
Although Chen Gong was vague about Hu Che'er's origins, Chen Long felt that Chen Gong was really sincere in placing Hu Che'er as a personal guard by his side. When it comes to Hu Che'er's martial arts, he is also the best among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms. At that moment, he happily agreed: "Okay! Hu Che'er, you will be the Guards Division Commander in our Montenegrin Army from now on!"
