Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong, but saw that Chen Gong was also looking towards him.
You say it.
you say.
The exchange was completed silently. Seeing Chu Nan's resolute attitude, Chen Gong said: "As far as I know, Cao Cao originally wanted to join forces with Liu Bei to attack Xuzhou, but Zhang Ji led his troops to attack Nanyang and died in the rebel army. His nephew Zhang
Xiujie connected with Liu Biao and stationed troops in Wancheng, intending to invade the palace and seize control. Liu Bei had withdrawn his troops before, and now Cao Cao sent people to increase officials and reward him. Obviously, he wanted to get rid of Nanyang's troubles first, but was afraid of a surprise attack by Marquis Wen, so he ordered
The official appeases him."
"Is this happening?" Lu Bu frowned slightly. He had let Liu Bei go at the beginning, so why did Liu Bei come again?
Chu Nan said: "Liu Bei is now living in Xuchang. How can he mobilize his troops without Cao Cao's approval? It is obvious that Cao Cao was ready to attack Xuzhou, but he postponed the attack due to the incident in Nanyang. The most important thing is this official..."
"How?" Lu Bu asked with a frown.
"Although General Pingdong has a high position, it is just a vacant position. If Cao Cao really wanted to marry his father-in-law, why not bring him Xuzhou Mu? The position of General Pingdong seems to be high, but in fact it is of no benefit to his father-in-law.
There is an extra false title." Chu Nan smiled and said: "But if you give your father-in-law the position of state shepherd, your father-in-law will be justified. If Cao Cao comes to attack him, he will lose his righteousness."
After all, the fact that you have granted the title of Zhou Mu by yourself means that it is recognized by the imperial court, but now you come to attack Xuzhou. Although you can do this, it will always damage the prestige of the imperial court.
Cao Cao has just welcomed the emperor, and it is the time to establish the prestige of the court. Doing this will be a big blow to Cao Cao.
"Bastard!" Lu Bu smashed the table with a slap and shouted angrily, "How dare the traitor Cao bully me like this."
"Father-in-law has agreed?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu and asked.
Lu Bu remained calm and silent.
"Actually, it's okay to agree." Chu Nan smiled.
"What do you mean by this?" Lu Bu frowned and looked at Chu Nan.
"Don't be angry with your father-in-law. Cao Cao would say this. He obviously understood his father-in-law's temperament and knew that his father-in-law is a warrior. Since he has received benefits, it is not easy to be an enemy of him!" Chu Nan considered.
It's a bit harsh to say this, but it's like being short-sighted, giving up your life when you see great righteousness, and forgetting your righteousness when you see small gains!
This evaluation is generally correct. Lu Bu actually doesn't have much ambition. After Chu Nan solved his money and food worries, Lu Bu obviously didn't think much about political affairs in the past two days.
This is a typical small farmer's thought. It is actually good when applied to ordinary people, but it is obviously unqualified when applied to princes.
The same words, said in different ways, obviously have different effects.
Chen Gong glanced at Chu Nan speechlessly, meaning nothing, but from Chu Nan's words, Lu Bu was obviously very impressed.
Businessmen are born like this, they know how to flatter people.
Lu Bu looked better: "So what?"
"Now that my father-in-law has received the benefits, Cao Cao can feel at ease even if he is not worried at all. But if he really pacifies Zhang Xiu, the next step is to attack Xuzhou. We might as well let him be completely relieved and attack Nanyang.
Then he attacked Xuchang with light cavalry, captured the emperor, and served the emperor to command the princes. If Cao Cao can do it, why can't my father-in-law?" When Chu Nan said the last word, he looked at Lu Bu with a warm look.
Others may not be able to do this kind of thing, but Lu Bu can. When he went to Xiaopei, he could travel more than two hundred miles in a day with his infantry. If he switched to cavalry, and combined with Lu Bu's talent as a flying general, he could travel thousands of miles in a day.
Possibly, you can take advantage of Cao Cao's paralysis to rush to Xuchang and directly rob the emperor!
"No!" Chen Gong suddenly frowned.
"Why?" It was not Lu Bu who asked, but Chu Nan.
"Cao Cao can do it to serve the emperor to command the princes, but Marquis Wen may not be able to do it." Chen Gong sighed, looked at Chu Nan and said: "Zi Yan's plan is too radical. If the emperor is welcomed into Xuzhou, would Zi Yan even think about it?
What is the attitude of the princes from all over the world?"
"Cao Cao will probably attack, but there should be a battle between the two sides. Yuan Shu..." Chu Nan suddenly thought of a question. Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor, will he listen to Lu Bu?
"More than that, I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't recognize it. If Cao Cao loses the emperor, he will definitely join forces with Yuan Shao to attack." Chen Gong said solemnly: "Cao Cao originally welcomed the emperor because the princes were unwilling to welcome him, which gave Cao Cao an advantage.
, However, now that the princes have clearly understood the meaning of the emperor, Yuan Shao will not give up this opportunity, and Yuan Shu may also come to seize it. Xuzhou is in danger of being defended. Once it is angered by the public, it may be in danger of immediate destruction!"
There is also a very important point that Chen Gong did not say. Cao Cao served as the emperor to command the princes. No matter what, he was the queen of the three princes. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both recognized Cao Cao as a person of the same status, but if it were Lu Bu, the princes
Will you recognize it?
No matter how hard Lu Bu fights, he can't resist the alliance of princes. If Xuzhou has natural dangers, such as the Yangtze River in the east of the Yangtze River, or the terrain in Guanzhong, then that's fine. He can just send a few generals to guard a few important places and then he can sit back and relax, but Xuzhou obviously doesn't.
With such a favorable geographical location, forcing the Emperor to welcome him would only lead to attacks from the princes.
To break this environment requires extremely high political skills. For example, in the early days, Cao Cao first relied on Yuan Shao and then gradually grew stronger. However, Lu Bu is now alone, and his relationship with the princes is not good, or even bad, and Lu Bu himself
He doesn't have Cao Cao's skills. If he follows Cao Cao's tactics at this time, he will only die faster.
"I'm in a hurry." Chu Nan saluted Chen Gong. He was copying history and had no clear understanding of the situation. He was obviously not as good as Chen Gong in this regard.
"Zi Yan has a long-term plan, but he should not be too radical." Chen Gong shook his head. He discovered that Chu Nan saw far ahead and had a way of solving current problems, such as dealing with the salt industry, but when it came to specific plans, he could not take everything into account.
.
"But just do nothing?" Chu Nan asked.
"Of course not." Chen Gong smiled and said, "We will train our troops."
"Training troops?" Chu Nan and Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong.
"Marquis Wen can go to the court to ask for the position of Xuzhou Mu. At the same time, he orders General Zhang Liao to train troops in Xiaopei without sending troops. However, it will make Cao Cao feel like he is carrying a ray of light and he will not dare to send troops easily!" Chen Gong said with a smile,
He came back this time to discuss the matter with Lu Bu.
Cao Cao is trying to avoid enemies now, and he doesn't want to be attacked from both sides. Lu Bu can't really rob the emperor, so asking for Xuzhou Mu is not too much, right?
"Who will be sent to express gratitude?" Lu Bu looked at the two of them and asked.
The court has given a reward. According to the rules, someone must be sent to the court to express gratitude, but who should be sent?
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in surprise. If it had been in the past, Lu Bu would not have hesitated and would have directly sent celebrities to the court to ask for rewards. Most of them would be Chen Gui and his son, but this time Lu Bu asked them both. Chen Gong was keenly aware of it.
After arriving, Lu Bu became wary of the Chen family and his son.
This is a good thing.
He looked at Chu Nan silently.
"Me?" Chu Nan said unexpectedly: "We will get married tomorrow, and as soon as we get married, we will go on a mission to Xuchang?"
There is no danger, and Chu Nan now has demon mantises and demon ants, so he is not completely unable to protect himself, but is this a bit unreasonable?
"The Xiaopei side needs to be chaired by me. Ziyan is the son-in-law of Marquis Wen, and he is quick-witted, so he couldn't agree more." Chen Gong said with a smile.
It's great that Lu Bu no longer trusts the Chen family and his son, but someone has to do it.
"I'll go tomorrow after we get married. Go quickly and come back quickly. Xia Piling has been vacated. Come back and take up your post as soon as possible." Seeing Chu Nan looking at him, Lu Bu simply nodded and said, "I ordered Wen Yuan to go with you. That's it.
Even if Cao Cao has evil intentions, he can still protect you."
"Here!" Chu Nan nodded. Liu Bei had seen him before. Since he had this opportunity, he naturally wanted to see Cao Cao. I wonder if Boss Cao would feel offended by using insight?
