Thanks to the two "legions" of "Faqiu" and "Mojin", Cao Cao in Yanzhou successfully survived the winter of the third year of Chuping.
In spring, everything revives, and the harvest season is closer. All Yanzhou scholars, people, and soldiers are full of expectations for the future here...
In a few months, there will be a bumper grain harvest, which will be the icing on the cake for the already abundant Yanzhou granary.
Cao Cao's position as the democratically elected pastor of Yanzhou became more and more secure.
Every time he thought of this, Cao Cao's mood became particularly clear. It seemed that...everything had become much simpler since Yu'er came here.
However, some are happy and some are sad...
Thousands of miles away from Yanzhou, in Hanoi, the cold wind is howling... In a small courtyard, the pavilion blown by the strong wind looks particularly biting.
Here, two frustrated people sat.
The one on the left is seven feet tall and extremely brave. He has a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows that reach into the sky and his forehead is inserted into the servant girl's hair. His handsome eyes are white and clear.
Even if he didn't wear his iconic silver crown with two dragons playing with pearls, didn't mention the domineering and powerful Fang Tian painted halberd, and didn't ride on the red rabbit horse with the color of flames, he still looked provocative.
Look sideways, as for his name, Red Rabbit among horses, Lu Bu among men!
At this time, Lu Bu picked up a bottle of green plum wine, with a touch of frustration and mockery in his eyes.
"Brother Gongtai got it all wrong this time..."
Sitting opposite him was Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai.
I saw Chen Gong also mentioning the wine bottle. "Drink, drink..."
There's something enigmatic about this look, but it also seems to be saying - don't say anything, it's all in the wine. After this one glass, there will be three more!
"Hahahaha..." Lu Bu let out a bitter laugh and drank the green plum wine in one gulp.
Chen Gong took a long breath and tasted the "bitterness" in the wine helplessly!
Over the years, both of them have been unhappy.
Let’s talk about Lu Bu first. After he conspired with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun’s series of cunning operations ruined the good situation overnight!
Lu Bu was defeated and fled Chang'an... He first surrendered to Yuan Shu, but because he was too pretentious... he was rejected by Yuan Shu;
After he surrendered to Yuan Shao again and helped Yuan Shao pacify the Black Mountain Army, he was jealous of Yuan Shao and even secretly plotted to kill him... If Chen Gong hadn't appeared to help him escape at this time, Lu Bu might have died in Jizhou!
After that, Lu Bu fled to Hanoi and took refuge with the prefect Zhang Yang... He has stayed here for a year now.
How can Lu Bu be someone who relies on others?
This past year has been filled with frustrations and frustrations, but Chen Gong was the only one who tried hard to persuade him to wait, and secretly summoned the old Bingzhou troops to wait for the opportunity... to find a place to stay.
The place that Chen Gong values is precisely Cao Cao's Yanzhou, but... who would have thought that in just one year, Yanzhou, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, would suddenly become impregnable, and the military and political affairs of Yanzhou, which was a stagnant pool of water, would suddenly become full of vitality.
The phenomenon...even Chen Gong could not predict this.
"Gongtai..." Lu Bu took the initiative to refill the drinks for himself and Chen Gong. "You said in the past that Cao Cao took advantage of the death of Yanzhou's herdsman Liu Dai to conquer Yanzhou. I, Lu Bu, can also follow suit and take advantage of the death of Cao Cao to conquer Yanzhou.
To take over... But this year has passed, and instead of destroying Cao Cao, the Yellow Turban Army has joined Cao Cao's camp..."
"Gongtai also said that with millions of Yellow Turbans, Yanzhou's grain depot cannot produce so much food. With hunger and hunger, there will be great disaster in Yanzhou. The clans and Yellow Turbans will all point their fingers at Cao Cao. I, Lu Bu, will take the opportunity to kill him.
Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou...but..."
At this point, Lu Bu drank the wine bottle in his hand.
"Ha ha ha ha ha…"
The sneer was full of ridicule towards himself. He felt that he was very stupid and naive. Why did he believe Chen Gong's lies?
The current situation is...
Not only was there no chaos in Yanzhou, but it was well-equipped with troops and food. Cao Cao's "internal troubles" had now turned into "foreign troubles" for others. Lu Bu's chance of seizing Yanzhou became increasingly slim.
I feel uncomfortable and want to cry!
"Please be patient..." Chen Gong's eyes narrowed. What happened in Yanzhou was too mysterious. After all, he couldn't figure out what happened.
However... there is a rumor.
"Does Fengxian know? Who was the person who persuaded Cao Cao to take over Yanzhou in the first place?" Chen Gong asked back.
"Who?" Lu Bu raised his eyes. This question actually made him curious.
"Yinlin!" Two words came out of Chen Gong's mouth. Immediately afterwards, Chen Gong stood up slowly, stood with his hands behind his hands, and preached carefully. "Recently, there have been careful studies to prove that in the past, Yinlin traveled to Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
County, Cao Song once specially ordered his son Cao De to rush to Pengcheng to give gold and countless grains to Yinlin sister and brother. For this reason... Yinlin leaked the secret to Cao De, saying that Liu Dai, the shepherd of Yanzhou, was about to die, and persuaded Cao Cao to take over Yanzhou.
It’s about what happens next!”
hiss…
Lu Bu took a breath of cold air. He only knew that Cao Cao entered Yanzhou at the right time, exactly...
It's amazing, who would have thought that there is such a relationship between them.
It was Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, and Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao De... No, to be precise, Cao Cao had to be helped by Yin Lin, no wonder.
In the past, there was a saying on the first day of the month - He who conquers Yinlin can conquer the world! Now that he is thinking about this sentence carefully, Lu Bu feels that it has a little bit of internal flavor.
"What Gongtai means..." Lu Bu quickly asked...
"Yinlin can predict a person's life and death. I, Chen Gong, am not Yinlin. How can I know destiny? The most we can do is do our best..."
Not to mention, when Chen Gong spoke like this, Lu Bu felt a lot more relaxed.
The most popular thing in recent years, apart from the Yuan brothers’ feud, is Yinlin’s ghostly prophecy. If...we lose to him, then that’s okay!
Of course, Lu Bu is not willing to give in. The life of living under someone else's roof is always bitter in a different way. When will he, Lu Bu, stop wandering around like a bereaved dog?
"Gongtai...it seems that in the past year...there has been no news about Yinlin. Otherwise...even though I am thousands of miles away, I, Lu Bu, would still have to pay a visit to ask for a solution to the situation!"
After saying this, Chen Gong paused for a moment, and then said: "It may not be a disaster for Yinlin to go into seclusion for us... We won't get any hints, and he, Cao Cao, won't get any hints either... and..."
Chen Gong gave up, but Lu Bu was already impatient. "Sir, sir, this is urgent. If you have any questions, don't beat around the bush."
"Hahahaha..." Chen Gong laughed. "Someone has a plan. Unless Yinlin is in Cao Cao's camp, otherwise... this plan can help Feng Xianbing acquire the eight counties of Yanzhou without bloodshed! Let Cao Cao do it.
He lost people's hearts and made him, Cao Cao, run away in panic like a lost dog!"
Gritting his teeth, Chen Gong suddenly clenched his fists.
The so-called deep love, deep hatred...
Chen Gong, who was once the magistrate of Zhongmu County, was very optimistic about Cao Cao. Now, he wants to defeat Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, Cao Cao... when you killed Lu Boshe's family, didn't you say you would rather betray others than others betray me?
Haha... Well, this time, I, Chen Gong, will use Cao Cao's method to defeat you, the Cao thief!
