However, when Zang Ba was accused of being a traitor to Cao's army, Lü Bu became furious and said, "I treat you well, but you are plotting against me with the thieves." He ordered him to be executed. Sun Guan, Wu Dun and other generals came in to beg for mercy.
Lu Bu said: "Zang Ba colluded with foreign traitors and should be beheaded. You are asking for mercy on his behalf. Are you his accomplices?"
Sun Guan and others said: "Zang Ba is not meticulous in his work. How can my lord believe in Gao Jin's words?"
Lu Bu refused to give up and said angrily: "You are still arguing, I think you are all Zang Ba's followers." After saying this, he ordered people to push out Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and other generals and behead them.
At this time, the generals arrived. Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others quickly said: "My lord, you are aware of everything. The situation is not yet clear. How can you conclude that Zang Ba is working carefully?"
Lu Bu said: "Zang Ba had a close relationship with that army commander. Isn't this irrefutable proof?"
The generals begged bitterly, and Lu Bu said: "In that case, we can first put Zang Ba in prison, and then kill Cao Kou before it is too late. The rest of Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others can be exempted from the death penalty, but they cannot escape from the serious crime."
Give me a slap on my back to show my imitation."
Everyone looked miserable and dejected. They looked at Gao Jin with disdain, and even Gao Shun ignored him. Only Chen Gong silently watched everything in front of him, took a deep look at Gao Jin, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining
A weird smile.
Everyone dispersed, and Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others were beaten on the back and returned to the mansion to recover from their injuries.
That night, Song Xian and Wei Xu went to visit Sun Guan at his home. Sun Guan cried and said, "I will die if I don't wait for you!"
Song Xiandao: "Bu only loves his wife and treats us like nothing. Now he listens to what Gao Jin says. It's really hateful."
Wei Xu also said: "Cao's army is surrounding the city and the water is flowing around the trench. We will die without a day's rest!"
Song Xian and Wei Xu sang in harmony: "Bu has no benevolence and no justice. What if we abandon it and leave?"
Wei Xu shook his head coldly: "If you are not your husband, it would be better to open the city and offer it to Duke Cao."
Sun Guan hesitated and said nothing, Song Xian and Wei Xu urged together: "Does General Sun still miss his old master? You regard me as a grass bandit, and I regard you as an enemy bandit. If you don't surrender to the Ming Lord, Bu will listen to Gao Jin's words again.
You and I will both die without a burial place."
Sun Guan then agreed: "Now that General Zang is in prison, I can't bear to go alone unless I save General Zang first."
Song Xian said: "You can surrender to Duke Cao first and wait for the army to enter the city. Just when the thief Lu Bu is panicking, he can lead an army to capture the prison. Then General Zang will be safe and sound."
Sun Guan gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "That's it. I can contact my brother, Wu Dun and others, and we will all have an attack."
The three of them discussed and decided, and Song Xian and Wei Xu returned satisfied.
…………………………………………………………………………
In Lu Bu's house, Gao Jin and Chen Gong were called to the house. As soon as they saluted, Lu Bu passed a secret letter to Gao Jin and Chen Gong circulated it. Their sharp-cut faces were filled with murderous intent and he said in a cold voice: "Sun Guan
The information has come, Xizuo is indeed Song Xian, but I never thought that even Wei Xu would be colluding with him, I wish I could kill this thief right away."
Wei Xu is Lü Bu's brother-in-law and has always been highly regarded by Lü Bu. If the evidence were not conclusive, Lü Bu would never have suspected Wei Xu.
Chen Gong closed his eyes and said nothing. Originally, only Lu Bu, Gao Jin, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan knew about this matter. Later, Lu Bu mentioned it to him, which showed that Chen Gong was still a person he could trust in Lu Bu's heart. This made him
I am very grateful that he also played a part in this operation.
Chen Gong is indeed a talented person. Gao Jin only proposed a general concept of defeating the enemy. He immediately drew inferences from one example and created many illusions. He continued to refine the concept until it was impeccable before giving up.
Gao Jin said: "Lord, calm down, these rebels will definitely die. Be patient for a while, and then catch them all in one catch when the fish surface."
Lu Bu suppressed his anger and nodded: "Gongtai, I need you to decide how the city should be arranged. You must pay more attention and don't leave any loopholes."
Chen Gong bowed and said in salute: "Don't worry, my lord, the palace will live up to your trust."
Lu Bu cast his eyes on Gao Jin. He had complete trust and appreciation for Gao Jin. He couldn't help but pat Gao Jin on the shoulder and laughed and said, "Bo Luan has made great achievements this time. I just don't know how to reward you."
Gao Jin said in his heart: "Why don't you reward me with your daughter?" Although he cursed in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Gao Jin doesn't dare to accept it. I only hope that my lord can defeat Cao's thief."
Thinking of being able to repel Cao Jun, Lu Bu was very excited. He lowered his head and said, "Let me record your achievements first, and I will reward you when the time comes." After saying that, he added, "Wan Jun's headache has come on again. Alas... I don't know.
What should I do? Does Gao Jin have a cure?"
Gao Jin felt funny in his heart. Unexpectedly, within two days, Xiao Nizi couldn't bear the loneliness again. She couldn't help but maliciously thought, Master, if you don't marry your daughter to me, I'm afraid Miss Wanjun will be the miracle doctor Hua Tuo.
There was nothing he could do. He coughed and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to cure it. I was frightened last time and lost too much blood. I'm afraid it will take more time to recover."
Lu Bu nodded, having no doubts about Gao Jin, and said with his head, "Excuse me, could you please go and give Wan Jun a look? It's best to stop the pain for the time being."
Gao Jin said: "Please, my lord, lead the way."
Lu Bu waved his hand: "I want to have a few words with Gongtai and let the boy lead you there." This time he was very relieved about Gao Jin. He was not as nervous as last time. Maybe it was because of the daytime, or maybe it was because of the lack of confidence in Gao Jin.
Gao Jin increases trust.
Gao Jin didn't want it, but he looked regretful and said, "Then Gao Jin will go."
When Gao Jin went to the inner courtyard, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said, "What do you think of Boluan?"
Chen Gong sighed: "With both civil and military skills, he can be used for great purposes. A little polishing will turn him into a raw jade."
Lu Bu nodded his head and said with deep understanding: "I didn't expect that at this critical moment, I would meet such a great talent. Gongtai, I have been hesitant about something."
Chen Gong stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "Master, do you want to imitate Dong Zhongying?"
Lu Bu glared at Chen Gong, laughed loudly and said, "I can't hide anything from Gongtai. What does Gongtai think?"
Chen Gongdao: "Although Dong Zhongying has caused harm to the common people, he is also an unparalleled hero. He can marry his daughter to Li Ru and make Li Ru die. Why can't my lord?"
Lu Bu showed hesitation. He was always a man of schemes, let alone the marriage of his precious daughter. He hesitated and said, "It's just that my daughter has been promised to Yuan Shu's son. If so, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?"
Chen Gongdao: "Yuan Shu had no outstanding merits and no good deeds, but he was rampant in his time. He was presumptuous and self-reliant. He was a righteous man and suffered the same disease as a man and a ghost. Even though he was prudent and frugal, he would still be destroyed.
.It is definitely not a good idea for my lord to marry his daughter to Yuan Shu’s son.”
Lu Bu couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. We will make plans after Cao's army is defeated."
Chen Gong was well aware of Lu Bu's character, so he could only say: "That's right, defeating Cao's thieves is the top priority now."
