"Lord, our army killed more than 6,000 enemy troops in this battle, and the loss was only 2,000. We defeated Cao's army and fled. It is definitely a great victory!" After the battle, Lu Bu's entire army returned to camp, and Wei Xu finished counting the results.

, very excited to report to Lu Buhui.

At this time, Lu Bu was also extremely excited. He thought that even if Cao Cao was unable to defeat him, he would not be too weak, but he did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly.

Lu Bu became proud. Lu Bu's fear of Cao Cao also relaxed a lot.

"Okay!" Lu Bu shouted: "All the generals have merit in this battle. After I defeat Cao Cao, they will all be rewarded!"

After hearing the words, all the generals showed joy on their faces. Only one person in the big tent was not happy but worried instead, with a solemn look on his face.

Wei Xu looked at Chen Gong, who looked uneasy, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Commander Chen, what's going on? Are you unwilling to see that instead of being defeated, our army won a great victory?"

It can be said that Wei Xu's words were extremely vicious, which directly made everyone in the tent feel a little dissatisfied with Chen Gong.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Bu glared at Wei Xu fiercely and explained for Chen Gong: "Gongtai is loyal and upright, how can he be so petty? He is worried that Cao Cao has other conspiracies."

Lu Bu had a reckless character and soft ears, but he was not ignorant of good and evil. He knew exactly how Chen Gong treated him. Without Chen Gong, he would have been a lost dog, or he would have become a domestic slave under other princes.

Moreover, Chen Gong never took credit for himself and was arrogant. He knew how to advance and retreat very well. Apart from his more upright personality, he had no other shortcomings. Lu Bu had complete trust in him.

Chen Gong took a deep look at Wei Xu, which made him look dumbfounded. Then he slowly bowed and whispered to Lu Bu: "Thank you, my lord, for trusting me. This battle is won. Gong is indeed happy, but even more worried. Cao Mengde is cunning and cunning."

Man, after years of campaigning south and north, how could it be possible to be defeated so easily? I'm afraid there's something deceitful about it."

Wei Xu was just startled by Chen Gong's emotionless eyes. After he recovered, he suddenly felt a little angry. He didn't care about Lu Bu's previous warning and sarcastically said again: "Master Chen is scared out of his wits by Cao Cao."

Come on! Oh, I forgot, you were kicked out by Cao Cao in the first place, I'm afraid a shadow has fallen on your heart."

As soon as Wei Xu spoke, he felt a little regretful in his heart. He glanced sideways at Lu Bu, and sure enough, his face had darkened. The atmosphere in the entire tent changed and became tense. The generals were a little nervous.

He glanced at Wei Xu dissatisfied and said nothing.

It is better to criticize someone than to expose one's shortcomings, not to mention that now Chen Gong is one of his own, and he has done a lot of credit. Although the generals are a little tired of his daily control and nagging, they admire his ability and integrity very much. In the face of a powerful enemy, Wei Xu is a

It is really inappropriate to make remarks without understanding the general meaning.

"I was so anxious that I lost my words. I hope the military advisor and my lord will forgive me!" Wei Xu realized that he had made a big mistake and apologized quickly.

"Wei Xu and others should be severely punished for their crimes, but in the face of a formidable enemy, I will punish you with twenty sticks!" Lu Bu said sternly.

Chen Gong sighed in his heart. The reason why he angered Wei Xu so much just now and even bothered him was because he wanted Lu Bu to punish him severely and temporarily get rid of this person who failed to achieve anything but failed. So as not to affect the future.

Although he doesn't like scheming, it doesn't mean he won't do it. Especially when faced with an impulsive profit-seeking guy like Wei Xu, he can play with him at will.

Chen Gong was so hostile to Wei Xu not because the other party scratched his sore spot. A person who is pure will be self-righteous. He is not a person who seeks fame and fame, and he will not be jealous because his plan failed. At this time, he was very clear-headed. Cao Cao was so clear

It was just to show weakness and seduce Lu Bu. He indulged his vigilance and tempted Lu Bu to continue attacking. But he couldn't stop him. He knew Lu Bu's character very well. To dissuade him at this time was simply adding fuel to the fire and would only make Lu Bu even more irritable.

Unable to stop him at this time, he could only try to be more cautious and remove Wei Xu, a troublemaker who was more than capable of causing trouble, to avoid doing stupid things again. But he underestimated Lu Bu's indecisiveness.

Under such circumstances, he still protected his brother-in-law, but he was given a mild punishment of twenty canes instead of temporarily removing his military power.

Wei Xu felt secretly resentful in his heart, and he was relieved to learn that Lu Bu ordered him to punish Chen Gong for twenty. However, he really hated Chen Gong in his heart. This man not only cut off his wealth, but also gave him

It's so abominable!

As early as the Xuzhou incident, Wei Xu had secretly hooked up with Cao Cao. Although Yuan Shu relied on his own wealth at that time to directly spend money on Wei Xu and broke off the deal between Wei Xu and Cao Cao, but later Yuan Shu

He didn't pay too much attention to such a money-grubbing villain. On the contrary, Cao Cao continued to win over this dishonest and duplicitous villain, planting another nail next to Lu Bu, and at this time it played a huge role.

Wei Xu was timid and greedy by nature. Although he was favored by Lu Bu, he was not completely loyal to Lu Bu because of his shamelessness. He had his own little calculations. Especially at this time, Cao Cao was powerful, so he was even more cautious.

The idea of ​​​​triing two boats. On the one hand, he served under Lu Bu, and on the other hand, he secretly and indirectly helped Cao Cao. No matter who wins or loses on both sides, he will be fine. Even if Wei Xu discovers that he has the affection of the Wei family, he will also

You won't receive too much responsibility.

Firstly, he is Lu Bu's brother-in-law, and secondly, he did not openly help Cao Cao, so there would not be much trouble. For example, now, he urged Lu Bu to send troops, and then he got Cao Cao's instructions, but he also followed Lu Bu's wishes. If Lu Bu

Cao Cao was eliminated directly. What would happen if his Xiao Jiujiu was found out? He helped Lu Bu defeat Cao Cao. He was also a meritorious official.

After Lu Bu admonished him a little, he quietly took a look at Chen Gong's face and saw that there was no anger on his face, so he felt a little relieved. Then after making some arrangements, he asked the generals to retreat. However, after the generals retreated,

Chen Gong quietly returned and met Lu Bu alone.

"Gongtai, I know that Wei Xu has indeed gone too far, but now that the war is approaching, I hope you can forgive him a little. I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future!" Lu Bu thought that Chen Gong had come back to ask for punishment, so he hurriedly

Protect the calf first.

Chen Gong took a deep look at Lu Bu and sighed softly: "My lord, I have overthought it. I am not dissatisfied. I am here just to borrow a team of soldiers and horses from my lord."

When Lu Bu heard this, he felt relieved and said generously: "What do I think? Why do you need to personally ask me for instructions on some trivial matters? Just ask Cao Xing for a team."

Chen Gong shook his head and said seriously: "My lord, I want to mobilize this group of soldiers and horses from the heavy baggage troops in the rear. In addition, I hope my lord will not tell anyone about this, especially Wei Xu."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Why?"

"Please rest assured, my lord, I want this team of soldiers and horses to be of great use. I won't tell my lord what the specific purpose will be. I hope my lord will promise me and not tell anyone else."

Lu Bu thought in his mind that there were only fifty or sixty soldiers on the left and right, so it was not harmful at all. Looking at Chen Gong's solemn look, he nodded as if aware of it.

"good!"

Chen Gong looked slightly relaxed and said in a low voice: "My lord wants to continue sending troops, so I will not dissuade him. But I hope my lord will be more careful when fighting and not fall into Cao Cao's trick of luring the enemy!"

Lu Bu was confused and said: "Gongtai is saying that Cao Cao's defeat today was intentional? The loss of more than 6,000 soldiers is not a small number. Cao Cao just wanted to induce me to send troops. The price is too high."

Chen Gong shook his head lightly: "Cao Mengde is a cold-blooded hero. He will do anything to achieve his goals. As long as he can quickly eliminate the lord and occupy Qingzhou, let alone sacrifice thousands of soldiers in vain, he will not hesitate to sacrifice tens of thousands more.

hesitate."

Lu Bu felt something, but still couldn't believe it.
