When the idea of surrendering to Cao came out, Lu Bu himself was shocked.
He clearly remembered that on the front foot, Cao Cao almost defeated Xuzhou, and then his home, Yanzhou, was almost stolen by him, Lu Bu.
Now, he has occupied Xuzhou, which Cao Cao wanted to occupy. Lu Bu thought about it and his scalp went numb instantly.
Good guy, Cao Cao probably wanted to kill him in his dreams, but he actually wanted to surrender to Cao Cao?
After a while, Lu Bu cleared his mind and muttered to himself.
"With Cao Cao's character, he should not be so narrow-minded, and it is still in the early stages of his business, and there is only one Yanzhou.
When I took refuge here, I handed over all my military power, as well as Chitu, to him, and then I lived in seclusion and had no contact with other people.
I read books every day. If I could pull out potatoes or something and hand them over to Cao Cao, wouldn't I not have to worry about being killed? "
The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. He could bring Xuzhou and tens of thousands of troops. Cao Cao at this period would definitely be tempted.
As long as he doesn't pose a threat to Cao Cao, who will care about a tiger without its claws?
Lu Bu made up his mind. The first thing he should do now is to write a letter to Cao Cao, and then read the book. Keep reading, earn reading value, pay off the debt first, and then draw the lottery.
At this time, Lu Bu seemed to see a beautiful life waving to him.
Just when Lu Bu was thinking about it, a person was walking towards him in a hurry.
"Lord."
"Lord?"
Lu Bu suddenly woke up when he heard the voice, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a middle-aged scribe in white next to him.
"Gongtai, do you make no sound when you walk? You scared me to death."
This middle-aged scribe in white is none other than Chen Gong, the one who took Lu Bu to steal Cao Cao's house. Chen Gong is currently Lu Bu's only trustworthy and talented counselor.
Chen Gong listened to Lu Bu's words. Although they were full of weirdness, he didn't think much about it. After all, he was here for business.
"My lord, you are so leisurely here, but I am so envious of you.
I came down here to find my lord because of Zang Ba’s matter. I didn’t ask my lord to write a letter to him before, but now Zang Ba has replied.
Zang Ba also admired the lord's name and had already brought 30,000 troops over to seek refuge with the lord.
I would like to congratulate my lord for adding another great general. "
Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong's words and felt a little complicated for a moment. He was already ready to surrender to Cao Cao, but Chen Gong kept helping him and busy for him.
No matter what Chen Gong's purpose was, Lu Bu knew that Chen Gong was really good for him and considered everything for him.
And now he wants to surrender to Cao Cao, but the grudge between Chen Gong and Cao Cao has been deep. Lu Bu can feel the hatred Chen Gong has for Cao Cao.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu suddenly became very complicated. He found a way out by himself, but what should Chen Gong do?
Although this Lu Bu is not that Lu Bu, Lu Bu can really feel Chen Gong's kindness to him. Although he does not need to consider Chen Gong's opinion, he cannot cheat others.
Immediately, Lu Bu had another idea. Chen Gong and Cao Cao were incompatible with each other, but Chen Gong had great talents, so wasn't Liu Bei looking for counselors now?
If Chen Gong passes, he will definitely be reused by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei at this period was much more obedient than him when it came to listening to advice.
The most important thing is that Liu Bei and Cao Cao also have a grudge, and Liu Bei now has troops. With Chen Gong's help, it won't be as bleak as it was in history, right?
Chen Gong on the side looked at Lu Bu who was frowning and thinking, and was even more surprised. Doesn't Chen Gong still know what Lu Bu's character is?
Normally, when I heard the general leading his troops to surrender, I would definitely jump up with excitement, but today, it was too quiet.
Moreover, Lu Bu can still think about things? This also made Chen Gong confused.
Soon, Lu Bu looked up at Chen Gong, his eyes full of apology, which made Chen Gong even more curious.
Chen Gong then quietly waited for Lu Bu to speak.
"Gongtai, there is something I need to make clear to you first. Please allow me to say sorry first. After hearing this, Gongtai will hit me and scold me, and I will never fight back."
When Chen Gong heard this, he became even more curious. After thinking about it for a while, he finally didn't know what Lu Bu meant.
Although Chen Gong was eager to know what Lu Bu was planning to do, he still remained calm.
"My lord, I don't know what's going on? But no matter what, I will help my lord find out the details."
Hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu suddenly felt even more guilty, but he still spoke slowly.
"Gongtai, I thought about it day and night, and finally felt that I was not suitable to be a prince. But after fighting Cao Cao, I felt that Cao Cao was a hero.
Therefore, I am ready to join Cao Cao. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he was ready to accept Chen Gong's angry criticism. However, after waiting for a while, he saw that Chen Gong was still silent. Looking around, he saw Chen Gong frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Gong began to think the moment he heard Lu Bu say that he would surrender to Cao. In his eyes, what Lu Bu said about surrendering to Cao was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
You know, Lu Bu almost stole Cao Cao's home, and the two sides also fought a battle in Yanzhou, which can be said to have directly destroyed Cao Cao's Yanzhou.
In this case, Lu Bu said he wanted to surrender to Cao Cao? How could he believe it?
Chen Gong thought this was Lu Bu's plan, so he kept thinking about Lu Bu's intentions. Although he didn't know why Lu Bu used tricks, what Chen Gong wanted to know most now was Lu Bu's purpose.
As for the possibility that Lu Bu really made up his mind to surrender to Cao Cao, Chen Gong didn't even think about it.
Lu Bu was very surprised when he saw Chen Gong's appearance. He suddenly realized that Chen Gong seemed to have better self-cultivation than him. How could he not be angry?
After a while, Chen Gong raised his head, but there was something in his eyes, not optimistic?
"My lord, if you want to attract Cao Cao by seeking refuge with him, and then prepare an ambush in advance to ambush Cao Cao, it will be difficult.
It seems that I am not afraid of being blamed by my lord. Although I hate Cao Cao very much, Cao Cao's strategy is not bad, and there are Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others around him, so they should not fall into the trap.
However, the lord can also give it a try and speak more sincerely. With the land of Xuzhou and the surrender of tens of thousands of troops to the lord, Cao Cao may still be tempted at this time.
My lord, I will draft a letter for you. After writing it, I will hand it over to the lord. When the lord agrees, he will send someone directly to Cao Cao. "
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong dumbfounded. He wanted to ask Chen Gong: Are you serious? !
He just wanted to vote for Cao and find a backer for himself. He didn't even know that he was using a trick. There were so many tricks in it. He really wanted to vote for Cao!
Moreover, Chen Gong not only refused to persuade him and said that his strategy was not working, but he even drafted a polished surrender letter for him. Lu Bu was confused by Chen Gong's manipulation.
Chen Gong on the other side was even more moved. He originally thought that Lu Bu was a warrior, but in the end, he not only used his brain to know that he hated Cao Cao, but also wanted to help him avenge Cao Cao and send troops to Cao Cao. Chen Gong's heart towards Lu Bu was that He became more and more satisfied, he really regarded Lu Bu as his lord.
