Chapter 992 : Chapter 492 Bringing the coffin to the expedition (2)
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao gave a few instructions and asked the three of them to go down and prepare. (www
"Then the Crown Prince's plan is about to begin. How will Dong Cheng go?" Xun You remained silent, but his heart was not immersed in it. He watched coldly and thought to himself.
Xun You was silent.
But the civil and military ministers present were not silent.[
"Ming Gong, after all, Dong Cheng changed his route halfway, so there is inevitably some suspicion." Cheng Yu said immediately as Dong Cheng and others left.
Not polite, very straightforward.
"That's exactly what Mr. Zhongde said. Baima is located in a strategic location and is a battleground for military strategists. It would be a bit childish to simply hand it over to Dong Cheng."
This was said by Cao Hong. He dared to say that Cao Cao, that is, the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were kidding.
Other civil servants and generals also talked to each other and expressed their distrust of Dong Cheng. They almost all condemned him.
Cao Cao's head started to hurt a little, and he said helplessly: "Dong Cheng asked for help. If I didn't agree, wouldn't it be a chill to his heart? Not only that, it would also chill the hearts of everyone in the world. If I was just because of Dong Cheng's failure,
Change the route without using Dong Cheng, and be suspicious of Dong Cheng. Who else in the world would defect to me?"
Those who are ministers have the principles of being ministers, and those who are lords have the principles of being lords.
After Cao Cao said this, many civil servants and generals could not say anything else. However, their eyes were still full of suspicion.
Obviously, it was not easy for Dong Cheng to gain the trust of Cao Cao and his army.
Of course Dong Cheng also knew this. After leaving the Chinese army's tent, Dong Cheng said to Zhang Liao and Guo Jia: "I will go to the camp to gather troops and horses first and say goodbye."
"General Chariot and Cavalry, please."
Zhang Liao and Guo Jia nodded and said.
Immediately, Dong Cheng led the guards and returned to the camp.
"Wenyuan, we need to be more careful in this battle." After Dong Cheng left, Guo Jia said to Zhang Liao thoughtfully.
"The general will understand." Zhang Liao was not a confused person. He knew what was going on and nodded.
After Dong Cheng returned to his camp, he did not immediately summon the generals in the camp. Instead, he called for the chariot and cavalry general Shi Chenxin.
Chen Xinnai is from Xiliang, fifty years old. He has been following Dong Cheng for decades and has been a minister for more than ten years. He is Dong Cheng's true confidant.
"General."
After entering the general's tent, Chen Xin paid his respects.[
"Order the craftsmen immediately to build a coffin for me." Dong Cheng ordered.
"What?" Chen Xin thought he heard wrongly and lost his voice.
Coffin, is there any mistake?
"Go ahead and do it." Dong Cheng said calmly without explaining.
"General, what is going on? Doesn't Cao Cao want to deal with the general?" Chen Xin suddenly became anxious and said.
Planning the world is a big deal, and his confidant Chang Shi didn't know that Dong Cheng was in Cao's camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. He thought that Cao Cao suddenly became suspicious of Dong Cheng and wanted to kill Dong Cheng.
"We are about to go on an expedition. I need to prepare a coffin to tell those who doubt me that I can be loyal to my father. I also tell the soldiers that they must fight for me."
Seeing Chen Xin getting to the bottom of things, Dong Cheng had no choice but to say.
"Uh." Chen Xin didn't expect that it would be like this. He was frightened. He really thought that Cao Cao was going to kill Dong Cheng, and Dong Cheng was about to die.
"Go down and do it. Be quick."
Dong Cheng said.
"Promise." This time Chen Xin did not disobey, he simply agreed, turned around and left.
"I know that it is not easy to gain your trust, Cao Mengde, but I will risk my life and be loyal to you. Don't worry, I will definitely solve the siege of the white horse for you."
After Chen Xin left, Dong Cheng turned his head and looked in the direction of the Chinese army's tent, feeling as if his heart was stone.
