After Lu Bu's family of three came out of the tent, Cai Yan stood up and slumped to apologize.
"I will be punished by my ministers and lords."
Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan with a red face and waved his hand, looking helpless.
"Forget it, don't say you can't help it, I can't help it either."
After pretending for a long time, Lu Bu's family finally broke the achievements.
Cai Yan bowed again, but did not get up, and then said, "Your Majesty is kind and good. But he is biased in treating Lu Bu and Chen Gong like this, which is inevitable that he will criticize."
Liu Xie put away his smile and solemnly looked at Cai Yan.
Cai Yan generally does not take the initiative to advise. Today, he took this opportunity to speak. He must have been waiting for several days.
The disposal of Chen Gong does give people this impression.
As a talented man from Kanto, Chen Gong came to join him for a long time and handed him such a good knife, which easily deprived Lu Bu of his military power. Chen Gong was a meritorious person to the court.
Lu Bu was dismissed from his official position and reflected on himself behind closed doors. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao naturally separated from Lu Bu's command system and became an old subordinate.
Even if Chen Gong was not valued, he would not be allowed to serve as an envoy and persuade Yuan Shao to stop his troops.
To put it bluntly, this is killing someone with a knife.
"The history of the country is not good at being a martial artist, but few civil officials. When it comes to getting along with them, the thoughts should not be too roundabout, and the words should not be too profound. The simpler and clearer the better, try not to misunderstand, so as not to doubt it. It is extremely difficult to establish trust and destroy it.
It's very easy to drop."
"Your Majesty said very much, it's just Chen Gong..."
"Although Chen Gong's plan was clever, he was smart and had too much fun. Such methods were good at fighting against the enemy, but they were not worth the loss. If I used him for this, many people would imitate him. Today, Lu Bu was used,
The one who will be used tomorrow may be Ma Teng. It won’t take long to see the generals and commanders like Li Jue and Guo Si, who do not trust each other. How can they work together and fight side by side?"
Cai Yan thought something. "Your Majesty said, should we use clumsy to defeat cleverness, use heavy to win light, and use open to plot instead of conspiracy?"
Liu Xie nodded. "It's not that I don't want to use Chen Gong, but that if Chen Gong's habits are not removed, I dare not use it."
"Does Your Majesty say the habit mean that Chen Gong regards himself as a famous scholar and despises the warriors?"
"This is just one of them." Liu Xie said lightly: "He was loyal to the gentry, even the gentry in Yanzhou, not the people of the world, and not the great Han. After my great victory, he would not come to see you, and he made many tricks.
, I just want to let me see the wise man, and attach importance to the aristocratic family."
Cai Yan suddenly realized.
If Chen Gong was just a fool, the emperor could accept it. Chen Gong wanted to prove the importance of the gentry and ignored the interests of the military men, which affected the foundation of the great cause of the emperor's revival, and the emperor would never tolerate it.
"I am stupid, please punish me."
"Those who speak are not guilty. If the Shishi is willing, he might as well write a few articles so that the people of Guandong know my intentions. If anyone does not dislike the hardships of the border and is willing to join me in the grand event, I am very welcome."
"Dare not obeying."
At Fengkou, Chen Gong got out of the car and walked back and forth by the river to relax his body, which was numbed by the top.
There are many people ferrying, most of them are riding horses, and very few are riding cars. Seeing a carriage parked aside, many people cast curious eyes and pointed at them.
Chen Gong was in a bad mood and was not interested in seeing them.
He just wanted to cross the river early and leave here.
But there were many people coming across the river, and there were many horses. The shipkeepers were ferrying back and forth again and again, so busy that they were too busy.
There were not many people going to the east coast. Chen Gongmoto wanted to get on the boat, but when he saw the horse manure scattered on the boat, he gave up again.
There are more and more people on the west bank, and those who have already crossed the river do not leave, waiting for their companions who have not crossed the river.
Just as Chen Gong was getting more and more anxious and could hardly hold back his temper, a tall and handsome man came to him and bowed.
"Zhao Yun, Changshan, ask for your safety."
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment and bowed back. "What advice do you have?"
"How dare you?" Zhao Yun pointed to the person who was crossing the river. "We came from Jizhou and wanted to join the court to serve. We are kind and kind, different from the local people, but the court officials?"
Chen Gong subconsciously straightened his back and held the joint inserted into the car in his hand, and his face became more reserved.
"In Chengong, Xiadong County, he was appointed as the censor and was ordered to go on an envoy to appease Guandong."
"Sure enough." Zhao Yun smiled and said, "It is a sin that we delayed the journey of the emperor's envoy. Although Chen Jun took heavy responsibilities, he did not rely on his official power and was truly a gentleman. The emperor has a gentleman like Chen Jun to assist him, no wonder he can do so.
It defeated the Xianbei and shocked the northern border."
Chen Gong's face felt a little hot, but he was embarrassed to say it out loud, so he could only talk about him. "Why, Changshan also knows that the emperor is winning?"
"It's not just Changshan, I'm afraid the whole Jizhou will know." Zhao Yun laughed and turned around and said, "Look, these are all heroes who came to join the army from Jizhou, and one of them is from Guangling. It's a coincidence that they have the same surname as Chen Jun.
.Shijun, Shijun, come here.”
A young man walked out of the crowd, looked at Zhao Yun, and his eyes fell on the chord in Chen Gong's hands. He quickly walked to Chen Gong and bowed.
"Chen Rong, Guangling, pay homage to the envoy. Do you dare to ask if the envoy came from the emperor?"
Chen Gong stared at Chen Rong and looked at him. "Can you be Zang Ziyuan's old friend and Chen Rong, the Dongjun Magistrate?"
Chen Rong was stunned. "It's..."
"I'm Chen Gong."
Chen Rong was surprised and happy, stepped forward and held Chen Gong's arm with both hands. "Jun Chen, it's really great to see you here." As he said that, tears came out, and he was in the dust.
Two grooves rushed out of his face.
Chen Gong did not dare to neglect and quickly pulled Chen Rong aside.
Zhao Yun also asked with concern whether he needed help.
Chen Rong hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Zhao Yun for his care along the way, and then walked aside with Chen Gong.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun was tactful and did not follow the past, but there was a little more confusion in his eyes.
Chen Rong walked with him, only saying that he would go to Meiji, but never said anything else. Now that he was so excited when he met Chen Gong, it was obvious that he had something to do in his heart and a big deal.
He was willing to help, but Chen Rong obviously didn't want him to know too much, so he had to stay away.
Chen Gong and Chen Rong left the crowd for about a hundred steps and greeted him again.
Chen Rong looked at the chord in Chen Gong's hand and said anxiously: "Where is Chen Jun going?"
Chen Gong then remembered that he had not introduced his identity yet, so he quickly said it again, emphasizing that the first thing the emperor sent him to Guandong was to persuade Yuan Shao to stop his troops and conquer Zang Hong into the court.
Chen Rong became anxious as soon as he heard this. "Then are you still waiting here? Dongwuyang is in danger, and Zang Ziyuan may be in a different place at any time."
Chen Gong was a little surprised. He didn't take this task seriously at all. In his opinion, at this moment, he was afraid that Dongwuyang had been defeated by Yuan Shao. The emperor sent him there just to torture him.
"Have Yuan Shao not yet conquered Dongwuyang?"
"No." Chen Rong shook his head. "But Yuan Shao was so angry that he mobilized tens of thousands of troops to siege the city, and he was determined to win."
