"My dear brother Yun Wen is wrong. He means that Lu Bu is among men and Red Rabbit is among horses. With a halberd in his hand, he can go in and out of thousands of armies with ease as if he were watching flowers and fish. In addition, he has three thousand men under his command. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is invincible in the world!"
Chen Deng looked in reverence and wished he could kowtow.
Just lick it.
Lin Mo frowned slightly. If I didn't know what you were like in history, I would almost believe your lies.
It doesn't matter, just try it out, can I tell? Lin Mo was prepared to emphasize his position by adhering to the formula of retreating while the enemy advances, praising the enemy while disparaging the enemy.
"I'm afraid you don't even believe what Brother Yuanlong said, right?"
Lin Mo shook the wine glass in his hand and sneered: "If Lu Bu was really that capable, why wouldn't he be driven all the way from Guanzhong to Xuzhou, invincible in the world? Ah retreat! A common man is a common man!"
Haqiu~ Lu Bu in the prefect's palace sneezed, blew his nose, and said with a smile: "It must have been a while since I went to see Yunwen. That kid must be thinking about me."
Lu Su and Chen Deng looked at each other. Does he know that you are scolding your father-in-law like this?
In order to test us, you are willing to go all out.
No, the more times like this, the more I have to make him believe in my sincerity.
Chen Deng simply stood up and said righteously: "Cao Cao is called Sikong of the imperial court, but in fact he controls the affairs of the imperial court and brings trouble to the imperial court. All knowledgeable people in the world want to kill him!"
On the other hand, Marquis Wen killed the national thief Dong Zhuo and saved the world from falling. Now even though his troops are far inferior to Cao Cao, he is a big man who still fights to the death against the thief. I admire him very much. "
In fact, during the Western Han Dynasty, the scholars in the world did have some character. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the two party bans, there were not many scholars who could uphold their loyalty. Otherwise, they would not have scolded Cao Cao as a traitor and then went to court. People flocked to Xuchang.
Lin Mo knew this truth well and admired Chen Deng in his heart. In order to test himself, he dared to scold Cao Cao like this. He immediately stood up and confronted him tit for tat.
"I regard Brother Yuanlong as a national scholar, but even if I don't want to, it will blind my eyes. I will stop talking today. In a year and a half at most, the imperial army will surely arrive at Xuzhou City, and Lu Bu will turn into withered bones in the grave. If Brother Yuanlong wants to follow He will be buried with him, and I will not stop him."
A year and a half?
Why a year and a half later? Does he know anything?
Chen Deng probed calmly, "Do you know Cao Cao's plan?"
"Not only the plan, but I also know Cao Jun's military strategy well. In short, Xuzhou is bound to lose. The only way for me to survive is to defect to Cao Sikong!"
Stop pretending, I have to use my prophetic skills, otherwise I won’t be able to make Chen Deng believe in me.
Lin Mo felt that the current situation of defecting to Cao Cao through the Chen family was far safer than that of his unreliable father-in-law.
Sure enough!
Yunwen is really a genius in the world, able to predict the enemy beforehand. No wonder he can help Marquis Wen defeat Cao's army this time. Chen Deng thought this, and his heart was filled with joy. He was happy for the future of the Chen family.
"Now that we have a military strategy, why do we have to wait for a year and a half?" Lu Su, who had been silent, wondered.
"Zijing doesn't know. Cao Sikong intends to capture Xuzhou quickly, but something big will happen in the Huainan direction. He must deal with this matter first before he can free up his hands to deal with Lu Bu."
"What's the big deal?"
Lin Mo hesitated for a while, thinking of his unreliable father-in-law, shook his head, and said with a smile: "The secret must not be leaked."
Seeing the disappointed expressions on their faces, Lin Mo quickly added: "Don't worry, you guys will know soon."
Marquis Wen was favored by heaven, and at this desperate moment, he actually earned an astonishing son-in-law.
"Brother Yuanlong, after the big event in Huainan happens and it is verified that what I said is true, can you introduce me to Cao Sikong in the name of the Chen family?"
This is the routine of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor, showing off his prophetic skills, and then entering Cao Cao's camp.
Hearing this, Chen Deng, who had just sat down, stood up and slapped the table, glaring angrily: "Yunwen, there is no need to say more, I, Chen Yuanlong, have already decided that I will try my best to assist Marquis Wen in this life, and I will remain unswerving. If you mention this matter again, we will no longer have any contact with each other." , Farewell!"
After that, he strode away from Lin Mansion.
The angrier I appear at this time, the more loyal I am to Marquis Wen.
There is no way, who made me choose wrong before? Only in this way can Yunwen truly believe in my sincerity.
"Yuanlong, Yuanlong, wait for me."
Lu Su was startled by Chen Deng's reaction and quickly apologized with a smile: "Yunwen, Yuanlong is rude. We will come to apologize next time."
The two of them left in a hurry.
"Crazy." Lin Mo complained disdainfully.
Just to test me, is this all?
Alas, I have no choice but to wait until Yuan Shu becomes emperor and let him see my methods. He should be willing to take the risk and trust me.
...
Xiapi, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In this era when parents did not dare to damage the body, hair and skin, the Buddhist fanatic Zee Rong shaved his head, wore a red and yellow cassock, knelt down in front of a golden Buddha statue that was more than ten feet tall, and chanted sutras devoutly.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, the servant who went to Pengcheng to sell goods is back, and he brought back some news."
The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion is an old man over fifty years old.
Since he believed in Buddhism, the daily work of the Prime Minister of Xiapi was completed by this housekeeper, and Zuo Rong concentrated on worshiping Buddha.
"What news?" Zuo Rong slowly opened his eyes and was still twisting the beads.
"After the news that Lu Bu defeated Cao's army outside Xiaopei City reached Langya, Zang Ba decided to take his men to join him."
Zuo Rong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You are a capricious villain. When Xiao Jian wanted to defect to Lu Bu, he ransacked other people's homes. Now that Lu Bu has gained power, he wants to flatter you. I am ashamed to deal with such a villain." Together."
"Also, the Xue family in Donghai and the Zhu family in Dongguan also took the initiative to send people to send grain and grass to Pengcheng, saying that they would make up for the spring taxes."
After the butler finished speaking, Zuo Rong stopped twisting the beads and said in a deep voice: "Even they have gone to Lu Bu? Alas, Tao Qian treated them well back then. Why didn't he support Liu Bei but supported the slaves of the three surnames? People’s hearts are not ancient.”
"Also, the Chen family in Pengcheng, led by Chen Deng, has joined forces with the Lu family, Wang family and other eight major families to build two unknown instruments for Lu Bu. It seems that they have also invested in Lu Bu."
"What!"
Zuo Rong stood up suddenly and said in shock: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Quickly, change into the official robes for the prime minister of the country. I'm going to Pengcheng to meet the three surnames... ahem, to meet Marquis Wen."
Speaking of which, my uncle's concubine's brother-in-law is also from Jiuyuan, Bingzhou. Maybe he is closely related to Marquis Wen. I, I should go to see Marquis Wen. "
Damn it, I just closed the door and recited Buddhist scriptures for a few days, why did the wind in Xuzhou change?
Recalling that he had previously sent a message asking him to meet in Pengcheng, he refused and even scolded the messenger. Now that he thought about it, he was really careless.
"I heard that Lu Bu is not very brave. Do you think he will remember the last time I insulted the messenger?"
While Zuo Rong was wearing official robes, he was discussing with the housekeeper uneasily.
"It's very possible. Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei took possession of Xuzhou after he scolded his three surnamed slaves."
The butler's words made him uneasy. What should he do?
"The Prime Minister can go to Chen Yuanlong first. After all, he has some friendship with you. If he comes forward, Lu Bu will have to give up some face."
"That's right. Over the years in Xuzhou, I have spent so much money and fattened so many people. Why don't I just keep what I will use today?"
Zuo Rong smiled proudly and ordered: "Immediately prepare one thousand gold and two thousand stones of rice and millet, which I will give to Marquis Wen as a meeting gift."
"Here!"
