Gao Jin was helped back to the backyard of Cao Mansion. Tian Feng also caught up with him. The two sat down in the house and stepped back. Tian Feng whispered: "General, there is a group of Cao troops watching outside the house. Cao Cao's move,
I don’t know what the evil intentions are.”
Gao Jin nodded and said with a headache: "It shouldn't be that simple for Cao Cao to marry a daughter, what does Yuan Hao think?"
Tian Feng hesitated for a moment before saying: "Now we can only take one step at a time. The general is deep in the tiger's den, and for the time being he can only be at the mercy of Cao Cao."
Gao Jin applied medicine to the wound and bandaged it, then asked: "Where is that Chen Dao?"
Tian Feng said: "There is someone in Cao Cao's army who wants us to hand him over. How can I hand him over to Cao Cao? He has already been taken care of."
Gao Jin said in a deep voice: "I am of great use to this person, so I will keep an eye on him."
Tian Feng agreed, and Gao Jin continued: "I will take a rest first, and Yuan Hao will also take a rest."
……………………
Everything was calm in Xiapi City. Lu Gu was doing well with the help of Chen Gong and others since he came to power. Since the news about Lu Bu had been blocked, there wasn't much gossip.
Chen Qun now lives in the office. After Gao Jin got married, he moved out of Gao Jin's home. There are not many affairs in the office. Most of the trivial matters are handled by Yang Zhi and Yang Sen. Chen Qun has many things to worry about.
, his mind was not focused on the institution.
The situation has become increasingly urgent. From the number of times Lu Wanjun visited Lu Bu's condition, Chen Qun felt that Lu Bu's time was running out. At first, Lu Wanjun still visited the Lu Mansion every few days. Later, the frequency became more and more frequent.
For several days, the maids and slaves in Lu Bu's mansion rushed to call for help.
Although Lu Bu had blocked the news, Chen Qun already felt that his condition was getting worse and he might even die at any time. Lu Gu's prestige also began to be established. With the support of Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others, the people in the city
There was nothing wrong, and with the support of Xu Bang and other aristocratic families, things had worsened.
What Chen Qun has to do now is to keep visiting Chen Gong and Gao Shun. Every time he goes there, in addition to bringing some gifts, he also talks about some miscellaneous things. He also has some contact with Xu Bang. Chen Qun is also considered a descendant of the aristocratic family in Xuzhou.
, with this relationship, Xu Bang has become very close to him recently.
What he needs now is to report the news. He must know the time of Lu Bu's death. As soon as Lu Bu dies, he will immediately send a message to Xudu. It won't work if it's early, let alone late. If Gao Jin comes back late, Lu Gu has already grasped it.
Everything and many things are unpredictable. And if it is too early and Lu Bu is not dead, then it will be difficult for Gao Jin to win based on Lu Bu's previous reputation.
He was absentmindedly thinking about something in the administration office when someone came to report: "Mr. Xu Si, please come over for a while."
Chen Qun stood up immediately, without any delay, and ordered Yang Sen to harness his carriage and horse and go to see Xu Si.
Xu Si is now Lu Gu's confidant, while Chen Qun pretends to be in front of Xu Si in exchange for Xu Si's trust.
When they arrived at Xu Si's mansion, Chen Qun went straight in, but no one stopped him. Xu Si had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Qun, he asked, "What news can you hear in the city recently?"
One of the reasons why Xu Si accepted Chen Qun was because Chen Qun naturally valued Chen Qun and took over the military administration office. The military administration office not only supervises the sergeants, but also has a greater function, which is to collect information.
All aspects of intelligence can even monitor the movements of generals. Originally, Xu Si wanted to persuade Lu Gu to take back Gao Jin's rights, but Chen Qun gave up the idea after he suddenly went to Xu Si's residence for a private meeting. What's more, after all, Gao Jin was
Lu Bu's son-in-law, Lu Bu, also expressed that he would ask Gao Jin to assist Lu Gu in the future. After this, Xu Si gave up this idea.
Chen Qun said: "Master Xu, there are no rumors in the city."
Xu Si lowered his voice and said, "I'm asking the adults and generals in the city if they have done anything unusual."
Chen Qun took a breath and glanced at Xu Si, knowing that something would happen in the near future. Lu Bu might not survive for a few days. Otherwise, why would Xu Si be so nervous and specifically ask about this matter? He knew that at this time
It was the most critical moment, but he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "There is some news."
"Oh?" Xu Bang immediately became nervous and listened attentively.
Chen Qun said: "Chen Gong and Gao Shun have been very close to Zang Ba in the past few days. Zang Ba has also visited many times. I went to Chen Gong's residence to test Chen Gong a few days ago, and Chen Gong complained."
Xu Bang said: "What are you complaining about?"
Chen Qun closed his eyes and said slowly: "Mr. Chen Gong said that the Major General listened to Mr. Xu's words and used the salt pond to win over the family. It is really foolish. It will only strengthen the strength of the family. Instead of doing this, it is better to take it back to the Prefectural Mufu.
For the use of the Major General."
Everyone knows that Chen Gong and Gao Shun are also loyal to Lu Gu. Therefore, what Chen Qun said does not directly indicate that Chen Gong is dissatisfied with the young general, but points the finger at Xu Si, Xu Si and Chen Gong
The two have always been at odds with each other, and this is known to everyone, so it is not surprising that they said this.
The salt pond is the biggest interest of Xu Bang and the families behind him. Chen Qun's use of the salt pond to stir up trouble really made Xu Bin feel in danger.
Xu Si's expression suddenly changed at this time, and he cursed: "Chen Gong, a common man!" He paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands for several times, raised his eyes and said, "What do you think of Chang Wen?"
Chen Qun said calmly: "The young general is also borrowing money from Chen Gong now. If one day he adopts Chen Gong's suggestion, I am afraid that Yanchi will really be returned to the army. In this case, we will be in vain."
?”
Xu Bang nodded slowly. Lu Gu was also a greedy person. How could he be indifferent to such huge profits? The reason why he divided the salt pond was just to get the support of the family. Once his position was stable, plus Chen Gong and others
Provoking it, this salt pond will be lost sooner or later. He closed his eyes, his face was uncertain, and said: "The young general has become less and less willing to listen to what we say recently. Do you know the reason for this long article?"
Chen Qun said: "Please give me some advice."
Xu Si sneered and said: "In the past, only I and other aristocratic families supported him, so he obeyed my advice. But after Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others became loyal, he thought that his position was stable and no longer relied on us.
.”
Chen Qun said: "If this is the case, wouldn't your Excellency be in danger? If the position of the young general was more stable, wouldn't he break his promise on the salt pond?"
Xu Si said with a sullen face: "That's exactly what I'm worried about."
The two of them were relatively silent. At this time, Xu Bang didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but it was just changing, sometimes soothing, sometimes sullen and crying, sometimes showing murderous intent.
