Five days later, as expected, Liu Dai died on the battlefield. Yanzhou, which was in dire straits, successfully weathered the difficulties under the protection of Cao Cao and repelled the Yellow Turban Army. Bao Xin and the local noble families in Yanzhou were very grateful.

Cao Cao, at this time Yanzhou also had no owner, so Cao Cao declined many times under the strong request of the Yanzhou clan, and finally "had to reluctantly" accept the position of Yanzhou governor.

This play was very exciting and very successful. Cao Cao naturally took Yanzhou as his base, and he hardly spent a single soldier, and in the process he won the hearts of the people of Yanzhou.

After enduring for several months, Cao Cao finally took action decisively and occupied Yanzhou and became a prince.

Xun Yu managed the internal affairs internally, and Xi Zhicai controlled the general situation externally. He had many good plans and numerous powerful generals under his command. Although Yanzhou was poor and weak and had few soldiers, Cao Cao's strength should not be underestimated.

Seeing the information in his hand, Yuan Shu sighed softly: "What is supposed to come will always come! Cao Cao still rises."

In Yuzhou, Liu Bei is busy controlling the local forces. With a thick skin comparable to that of Liu Bang, coupled with his eloquence and crying skills, Liu Bei has really won over many forces who want to speculate and are not taken seriously.

He also accepted many advisers.

After all, Yingchuan is located in Yuzhou! He has this county under his command that has given birth to most of the great ideas in the north. How could Liu Bei not pay a visit?

Later, with his sincere attitude, he successfully moved Chen Qun, a great talent in Yingchuan. The two chatted happily, and on that day Liu Bei made Chen Qun a Sima to help him manage Yuzhou.

Speaking of Chen Qun, this guy had no choice but to choose Liu Bei. Cao Cao had Xun Yu as his loyal adviser, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had many advisers. Even if he went to join him, he would not receive much attention. Chen Qun, as the direct descendant of the Chen family,

, how can you be willing to submit to others if you are proud and proud?

The remaining Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others are not the image of the Ming Dynasty, and they will not be taken seriously by Chen Qun. Therefore, the only one Chen Qun can choose is Liu Bei.

Liu Bei came from a low background, which is a flaw, but it is also an advantage. His perseverance and sincerity in seeking talents are the best among the princes in the world.

Moreover, this person is broad-minded, dares to delegate power, and has the reputation of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so it may not be a bad choice for Chen Qun.

What's more, he has two brothers, Guan and Zhang, who are enemies of thousands of people, as well as Yuzhou, a land of worship. If he has the support of his Chen family, he really won't be much worse than Cao Mengde.

"Master, we now need a suitable opportunity to control Yuzhou. It is best to be as legitimate as Cao Cao. Only in this way can we preserve the overall strength of Yuzhou to the greatest extent and have the capital to deal with Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu."

Although Chen Qun's reputation in the late Han Dynasty was far inferior to that of Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, in terms of talent, he was not much worse than these people.

It's just that he had bad luck in history. He joined Liu Bei in Xuzhou for the first time. As a result, Liu Bei paid attention to his reputation. He knew that it was a trick for Cao Cao to ask him to attack Yuan Shu, but Liu Bei, who cherished his reputation very much, still chose to obey.

The result was just as Chen Qun expected, Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou and Liu Bei fled to Xiaopei. Chen Qun, who was in Xuzhou, could only sigh that he was born at the wrong time.

The second time this guy defected to Cao Cao, this time he chose the right person. But he chose too late, and Xun Yu occupied the position of the internal affairs manager beside Cao Cao early.

Even though Chen Qun's ability in internal affairs was no less than that of Xun Yu, because he arrived late and was indeed not as good as Xun Yu, he was always suppressed by Xun Yu. It was only after Xun Yu died that he began to take the lead.

It is said that if you are born in Yu, why should you be born bright? But in fact, Chen Qun is even more frustrated than Zhou Yu. His appearance, background, talent, and qualifications are all top-notch beings, but they are all superior to another top-notch being, Xun Yu. This is This is the tragic life of Chen Qun.

But now that he has joined Liu Bei, this may not be a bad thing for him. After all, Liu Bei does not have many good advisers. People like Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others can only barely manage a county, which is not enough. To seek the world.

Chen Qun firmly occupied the position of Liu Bei's number one counselor and was able to fully display his talents.

"What does the long article teach me?" Liu Bei asked humbly.

As a descendant of Liu Bang, he has taken his ancestors as role models since he was a child, imitating the former in all his behaviors. In particular, he is a courteous corporal and knows people well. He plays with great proficiency.

Now that he has such a top adviser, Liu Bei has great trust in Chen Qun. Basically, he will agree to any suggestion made by Chen Qun.

Therefore, Cao Cao often talked about this quality of employing people without doubt, and Liu Bei was the one who perfectly presented it. Even though Zhuge Liang single-handedly controlled most of the power under Liu Bei's command, Liu Bei still believed in him. Even happy to see it.

Seeing Liu Bei's humility and trust in himself, even the arrogant Chen Qun was a little moved: "My lord, Yuan Shu near Lujiang has been moving recently. Cao Mengde has also sent us a message of alliance recently. This is the opportunity we have been waiting for. "

Liu Bei thought of the ruthless Cao Cao and couldn't help but worry: "Long article, is Cao Mengde trustworthy?"

Chen Qun replied without hesitation: "Of course it's not trustworthy! But it's also trustworthy."

Liu Bei asked curiously: "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Qun smiled slightly: "What Cao Mengde hopes is that we are hostile to Yuan Shu, so that he can take the opportunity to capture Xuzhou, and then Xu Tu Central Plains. The alliance this person talks about is nothing more than a delaying tactic."

"However, Cao Mengde wants to unite with us to weaken Yuan Shu. This statement is credible."

Chen Qun sighed softly when he thought of Yuan Gongli who had come to invite him but was rejected by him.

What a misunderstanding! Although he discovered the other party's extraordinary courage, Chen Qun did not choose to agree to the other party because he was unwilling to be inferior to Xun You and others.

But he didn't expect that the other party's courage was far beyond his imagination. Within one year, he completely integrated all the forces in Yangzhou, and even the aristocratic family had to completely submit to the other party, and he also captured Jingzhou. Yuan Shu's momentum was achieved, not to mention There is no problem in uniting the world, but dividing one side into another.

Thinking about it now, how much better would it have been if he had agreed to the other party in the first place? Guo Jiaxunyou was not good at internal affairs, and Tian Feng was alone. With the strength of the Chen family, he could firmly occupy the position of the first minister of internal affairs under Yuan Shu.

There is no turning back after firing the bow. Now unless Yuan Shu comes to invite him in person again, Chen Qun really has no shame to go to him again.

But how could Yuan Shu, who was now the overlord of the party, condescend to invite someone who had rejected him before? Not to mention that Jiangdong now had many capable ministers, and there were five or six who were almost at the same level as himself, so Chen Qun broke off He wanted to defect to Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu easily occupied Jingzhou three months ago. Now he is sharpening his sword. He may attack Yuzhou at any time in his ambition to conquer the Central Plains."

"Cao Cao will never stab us in the back at this opportunity. So this time the three of us jointly suppress Yuan Shu's actions, Cao Cao will not lie to us. Otherwise, it will not only be us who will suffer, Tao Qian and Cao Cao will also be buried with them.

"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and nodded with deep understanding. Yuan Shu was powerful, and now all the princes in the Central Plains must hold together for warmth. If he really suffered, he would naturally not make others feel better. I believe Cao Cao would not do such an unwise thing.
