Long Fei was wearing black clothes and sitting on the seat of the prefect, and Zhang Miao was kneeling underneath him in a dignified manner. Long Fei had people seal the prefect's mansion, and anyone who dared to walk around would be killed without mercy. Zhang Miao looked decadent.
He knew that he was going to die today, so he unconsciously turned his attention to Chen Gong, hoping that Chen Gong could say a few good words and let Long Fei let him go.
"Tell me! Prefect Zhang, what do you think I should do with you?"
When Zhang Miao saw that Chen Gong didn't move at all, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forgive me, general. This is all what Cao Cao asked me to do. He promised to give me Wancheng as long as I can kill the general!"
"What a big tone! Wancheng gave it to you? You're not afraid to hold on!" Long Fei smiled faintly: "Where is Lu Bu? Where are the others?"
"Lü Bu is leading his army to Wancheng!"
"Oh...!" Long Fei finally understood. Cao Cao first concluded that he would not go to Dongjun. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to go, so he made another plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and take his own life. Cao Cao
It’s really vicious: “How many troops did Lu Bu bring?”
"Ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand soldiers and horses want to seize my Wancheng?" Long Fei smiled slightly: "Do you really think Lu Bu is the God of War? In that case, let's wait and see and see Lu Bu's result. If Lu Bu wins, I won't
How about killing you, and if we win, I will cut you into pieces with a thousand knives? Is Prefect Zhang willing to take this gamble with me?"
"I don't dare to lower my rank. General Long is planning the strategy. Lu Bu will never win if he is frivolous!"
White fish belly appeared on the horizon. Chen Dao opened the door of the Taiping Tower, looked around, turned around and came back. The young man at the door was still there, and there was still a thin layer of dew on the pick. He knew at a glance that he had not left last night.
Chen Dao told Guo Jia and Li Ru about the situation outside: "Two gentlemen, we can't get out!"
Guo Jia smiled: "What are you afraid of! Send a few people there and they will take care of it!"
Long Fei opened his eyes and saw the dazzling sunlight outside the window. He estimated that Chen Dao and Guo Jia had left Chen Liu. Then he stretched out greatly and grabbed the supper prepared by the kitchen for Zhang Miao last night and ate it.
Start chewing. Dian Wei smelled the taste and immediately came over. You and I were all wiped out in one bite. Long Fei got himself another glass of water and took a sip: "Why is there no news about this Lu Bu?"
The sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and the sound was like beating on Zhang Miao's heart. This must be Lu Bu's military report, and the content inside was related to his life and death. Zhang Miao kept swallowing, and cold sweat had formed on his forehead.
They came down. The messenger ran inside and shouted, "Report...!" Zhang Miao could no longer hold on, his legs went weak, and he sat on the ground.
The messenger rushed into the lobby and was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, a steel knife was placed on his neck. Dian Wei took the battle report from the messenger and handed it to Long Fei. Long Fei looked at it and said
Dian Wei said aloud. Then he withered. When he turned around and saw Chen Gong, he waved his halberd and threw the battle report to Chen Gong: "The boss said, read!"
Chen Gong opened the battle report. It was written clearly in the battle report that as soon as Lu Bu led his army out of Chenliu, he was informed by Wancheng detectives that they were ambushed in Xiangcheng at the foot of Xuanyuan Mountain. Xu Huang and Hua Xiong attacked from behind, but Lu Bu couldn't catch him.
He was defeated and lost three thousand soldiers and horses, and retreated to Yangzhai to report for support. Zhang Miao lay on the ground like a puddle of mud. Lu Bu was defeated and he must die.
"Prefect Zhang, what else do you have to say now?"
"General, spare your life! General, spare your life! These were proposed by Cao Cao and instigated by Lu Bu and Chen Gong. They have nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me!" In order to survive, Zhang Miao could be said to have shaken everyone out.
This plan indeed originated from Cao Cao. After Cao Cao learned that Long Fei had promised to come to Dongjun, he regretted sending someone to make peace. If Long Fei really came, the princes would think that they had taken refuge in Long Fei, and they would be targeted.
Cheng Yu then made an idea and used Wancheng as bait to let Zhang Miao assassinate Long Fei. This has two advantages. First, it can get rid of Long Fei. Second, even if Long Fei does not die, it can also allow him to fight with Zhang Miao.
If there is a gap, this is what Cao Cao wants to see most. Zhang Miao fell into the trap. While asking Chen Gong to prepare the manpower for the assassination, he also asked Lu Bu to lead 10,000 elite troops to sneak out of the city, just waiting for the attack inside the city. Wancheng was leaderless, and Lu Bu
Wancheng can be captured by fighting, and by the way, the emperor can be taken to Chenliu, and it can also be used to hold the emperor hostage to the princes.
Everything was calculated well, but the mistake was that Zhang Miao underestimated Long Fei and Long Fei's strength. Long Fei waved his hand, and two soldiers entered the door, each with an arm, dragging Zhang Miao who was shouting.
He went outside the door. Not long after, there was a faint scream, and the dignified prefect Chenliu fell to the ground with his head.
Long Fei turned his face and glanced at Chen Gong. Chen Gong looked calm and showed no fear at all. He stood there quietly, calm and quiet. Dian Wei grabbed Chen Gong's back collar and lifted it gently, like a little boy.
Like a chicken, he was lifted in front of Long Fei. A big hand was placed on Chen Gong's shoulder: "Kneel down!" Chen Gong couldn't help but his legs softened and he knelt in front of Long Fei.
"Master Chen, it's your turn!" Long Fei looked at Chen Gong with a smile: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Chen Gong sneered: "I think the general has no intention of killing me!"
"How can I see it?"
Chen Gongdao: "It is true that the mastermind of the assassination of the general was Cao Cao, but I was the one who carried out the execution. The general killed Zhang Miao first and then asked me. This proves that the general's anger is not with me but with Zhang Miao, so I conclude that the general will not kill me!"
"
Long Fei clapped and laughed: "He is indeed a talent. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to help me?"
Chen Gong shook his head: "No! There are two people in the world that I will not help. One of them is Cao Mengde. This man is very jealous and kills innocent people indiscriminately. The second is the general. The general has lofty ambitions, but Gong is a Han. One day
If the general sits in the north and faces the south, I will be an accomplice, and the Han people in the world will revile me, Chen Gong!"
"Sir, this is a big mistake. Sir, have you ever heard the saying, 'Princes and generals, have you ever heard of it?' The world is not owned by one person, but belongs to everyone. Whether it is Qin or Han, the people have nothing to rely on and they rebel.
, This is the law of the world, changing dynasties is not a bad thing!" Long Fei somewhat likes this Chen Gong. Chen Gong is straightforward and has a bit of the style of Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty. If he is by his side, he is confident that he can be the "Taizong of the Tang Dynasty"!
"May I ask the general, does the general really think that one day he will sit north and face south?"
Long Fei nodded: "I have this confidence. If it fails, I will try my best and have a clear conscience!"
"Ask the general again. If the general sits in the north and faces the south, can you guarantee that from now on the people will have enough food and clothing and will no longer raise flags to rebel?"
Long Fei shook his head: "No one can guarantee this, just like my husband can guarantee how many bowls of rice he will eat tomorrow! I can try my best to have enough food and clothing during my lifetime!"
"Ask the general again..."
"Are you done?" Dian Wei felt sleepy after hearing this, and quickly interrupted: "It's almost noon. Others have plenty of food and clothing, but we are still hungry!"
He sent someone to get some food. On this day, Chen Gong and Long Fei were in the prefect Chenliu's mansion, and they were having a good time. Long Fei's words could not be said to have greatly touched Chen Gong, at least they made Chen Gong
These feelings. What is the world? Who is the master of the world? These topics gave Chen Gong new thoughts. Without Chen Liu's plan, Chen Gong sent him ten miles away.
Long Fei took Chen Gong's hand: "Since you want to see the world again, I won't force you, but remember, if you want, the gate of Wancheng will always be open to you."
Chen Gong nodded: "I don't dare to climb high as a humble official. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Wancheng."
Long Fei nodded and smiled mysteriously at Chen Gong as if he suddenly remembered something: "I don't have anything to say goodbye, so how about a big gift?"
"You're welcome, General!"
Long Fei smiled and said: "Yanzhou is a treasure land. If you have Yanzhou, you can spy on the world. If you don't dislike it, how about giving Yanzhou to you?"
Chen Gong thought for a moment and then burst into laughter: "The general is so generous, I am very grateful to you. Isn't the general afraid that we will meet on the battlefield in the future?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! There are not many people in the world who can catch my eye, and Lu Bu is not among them!" Long Fei smiled slightly: "Even if Lu Bu gets it, with Cao Cao's power, Lu Bu is no match for him!"
"Oh? If the general is like this, doesn't he deceive me?"
"Then it depends on your ability, sir! Farewell!"
Feihu Ridge is a small mountain peak to the east of Chen Liu. Therefore, the terrain is so dangerous that even tigers have to fly to get across, so it was named Feihu Ridge. Chen Dao led 300 personal guards to protect Guo Jia and Li
Ru was stationed here, waiting for Long Fei. When he saw several war horses galloping towards him, he felt relieved. When everyone met, they talked about what happened last night, and Long Fei told him about the killing of Zhang Miao.
Guo Jia clapped his hands and applauded: "Zhang Miao is timid and does not dare to disobey Cao Cao in the slightest. If the lord kills him, Chen Liu will be acquired by Lu Bu. Lu Bu will not dare to spy on Wancheng after his defeat. He will inevitably lead his troops eastward. If Cao Cao is now
Attacking Xuzhou is a great opportunity for Lu Bu! Wonderful, wonderful!"
Li Ru shook his head: "Cao Cao is not stupid. How could he not see this? If so, he would not attack Tao Qian eastward! With Lu Bu, Chen Gong can only be no match for Cao Cao!"
Several people were helpless. If Cao Cao occupied Chenliu, it would be bordering Wancheng. This would be very detrimental to Wancheng at present. Wancheng is not afraid of fighting. If the new atmosphere just formed in the territory is broken, it will be broken.
It will be difficult to recover. Seeing the sad faces of several people, Dian Wei said: "What are you worried about? Just watch as we walk, isn't it just a war? With me, Lao Dian, Cao Cao will kill as many people as he comes!"
Everyone smiled bitterly. There was never any trouble in Dian Wei's eyes. With his strong body and the two halberds in his hands, he did not put anyone in the world in the eyes. This kind of free and easy character seemed familiar to Long Fei. Wasn't he the same just a year ago?
How come he has become timid now? He smiled to himself: "Dian Wei is right, the soldiers will block the water and the earth will cover it. Now we are weak, take one step at a time, and if it really doesn't work, just fight!"
After leaving the Flying Tiger Territory, everyone continued on their way. It was already dark, but there was no store in front of them. Besides, these hundreds of sturdy men were too eye-catching. As long as they entered the city, they would be found out by Cao Cao's spies soon. In this case,
Then we had no choice but to sleep in the open air. We found a place with a slightly higher ground and everyone set up camp. They lit a bonfire and distributed food. After a long day's journey, they all wanted to rest early.
At the third watch, a sudden shout of death woke Long Fei up. He stood up and rushed out of the tent with the dagger in his hand.
