Liu Bei, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu finally arrived at the Dongping State Government Office.
"My lord, Cao Mengde is good friends with Zhang Miao and Bao Xin. I guess he will definitely contact them to support him in becoming the governor of Yanzhou, so what we need to do next is to contact the governor who is independent of the two of them.
For example, if Ying Shao, the Grand Administrator of Taishan, and Wu Zi, the Grand Administrator of Jiyin, are promised benefits and harmed, they will definitely be able to capture them. From this, as long as their lord can contact Yuan Yi, Yanzhou is basically a foregone conclusion.
.”
Chen Gong still followed his original plan to weaken Cao Cao's influence in Yanzhou and increase his own strength.
Liu Bei nodded, but inadvertently glanced at Cheng Yu with his eyes.
"My lord, what Gongtai said is true, but I think Wu Zi doesn't care, because he is a loser. He must first capture Taishan County and Yuan Yi. As long as these two are captured, Wu Zi will definitely not follow Cao Cao.
"
Cheng Yu gave his own supplement.
"Well, what Zhongde said makes sense. If Shao is familiar with him, I can go there as a lobbyist, but I am not familiar with Yuan Yi, so I have to send someone else there."
Chen Gong also praised Cheng Yu's words and asked for orders to go to Taishan County.
"Since Gongtai is going to Taishan County, then Shanyang County will let me go."
Cheng Yu nodded, since you are going to Taishan County, let me deal with Shanyang Prefect.
"Okay, without further ado, I will leave for Taishan County immediately."
I have to say that Chen Gong is a real man of action. He does what he says without saying anything. He has been traveling for several days without feeling tired at all.
"Stop, no matter how busy you are, you have to rest for a day. Taishan County is where you can't run, but if I tire you out, I will cut off an arm."
Liu Bei shook his head and disagreed with Chen Gong's departure immediately.
"Lord, I know my own health well. Although I have been traveling for a few days, it is nothing to me. Now I have to race against time with Cao Cao. Otherwise, once Ying Shao is captured by him, we will be at an absolute disadvantage."
Chen Gong's eyes flashed with emotion. After all, it felt good to have such a considerate lord for his subordinates.
"I said no, I just can't. Have a night's rest before leaving tomorrow."
Even if Chen Gong said that the sky is falling, Liu Bei would not agree.
"Okay, then I'm going to take a rest."
Chen Gong's eyes flashed, he didn't say anything, he agreed directly and went back to rest.
"Um."
Chen Gong left Liu Bei's Wuyan Prefecture.
"Lord, you'd better arrange for someone to go to Taishan County."
When Chen Gong just left, Cheng Yu smiled slightly and talked to Liu Bei.
"It's still early. We don't have to leave until tomorrow. Don't be impatient."
Liu Bei was also confused and didn't understand what Cheng Yu meant.
"Lord, the public platform will definitely not rest. I guess he must have run out of the city by now."
Cheng Yu shook his head slightly. Chen Gong had unimaginable resilience and self-determination, and it was difficult to change the things he believed in.
"Yun Chang."
"Brother."
Guan Yu was outside the door. Hearing Liu Bei's call, he immediately entered the room.
"You immediately take five hundred personal guards, wait outside the city, and go with him to Taishan County."
Cheng Yu's words will most likely come true. Since Chen Gong is like this, it's hard for him as the protagonist to say anything else.
"promise."
Guan Yu nodded and turned away without hesitation.
As Cheng Yu expected, Chen Gong did not go to rest after coming out of Liu Bei's place. Instead, he circled around, got on the carriage, and ran towards the outside of the city.
"Master, there are soldiers and horses blocking us in front."
The young man driving the carriage stopped the carriage consciously when he saw the soldiers and horses appearing in front of him.
"What?"
Chen Gong opened the curtain and came outside.
"Where are Mr. Gongtai going in such a hurry?"
Guan Yu smiled slightly and rode up to the front of Chen Palace.
"General Yunchang, I can't sleep in my heart, so I want to go to Taishan County. I hope you won't stop me."
Seeing Guan Yu coming, Chen Gong knew that his little thoughts had been seen through, so he could only tell the truth.
"Eldest brother knows what Mr. Gongtai means, so he specially sent Guan Yu to wait here and go to Taishan County with Mr."
Guan Yu clasped his fists at Chen Gong and explained his purpose of coming.
"Haha, I see, then there is General Lao Yunchang."
Hearing that Guan Yu was not here to stop him, Chen Gong was overjoyed, clasped his fists at Guan Yu and returned to the carriage.
"Let's go to Taishan County."
Guan Yu waved his hand, and five hundred horsemen escorted Chen Gong's carriage toward Taishan County. Cheng Yu also said goodbye and led two hundred cavalry toward Shanyang County.
Liu Bei was in action, and Cao Cao was not idle either. He drove directly to Lu County in Jibei Kingdom to meet with Xun Yu, but reality gave him a heavy blow.
"My lord, Mr. Bao's situation is not optimistic."
Xun Yu came to Cao Cao and reported to him Bao Xin's situation.
"What's wrong with Yun Cheng?"
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel tense. You must know that Bao Xin of Yanzhou is his absolute best friend. Although Zhang Miao is also his good friend, he is more than one level behind Bao Xin.
"You'd better go and see him. This Yellow Turban siege has exhausted Duke Bao's energy too much."
Xun Yu just shook his head and said nothing more.
"Um."
Cao Cao walked directly towards Bao Xin's residence.
"Yuncheng."
Cao Cao pushed open the door of Bao Xin's room and went straight to the bed where he was lying.
"Mengde, you are here."
Bao Xin saw Cao Cao coming and struggled to get up.
"Yuncheng, why did it happen like this?"
Looking at Bao Xin's slightly haggard face, Cao Cao frowned again.
"I'm old and my health is failing."
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Bao Xin showed a helpless smile on his face.
"Stop talking and take good care of your health. I'm here in Jibei, so you can rest assured."
He was not a doctor, so he could do nothing about Bao Xin's situation.
"Meng De, I had a discussion with Wen Ruo before you came. I want to join forces with Meng Zhuo to elect you as the governor of Yanzhou, so that you can legitimately control Yanzhou."
Bao Xin glanced at Cao Cao and expressed his thoughts.
"It doesn't matter whether you are the governor of Yanzhou or not, as long as you are healthy."
Although Cao Cao was a ruthless man, he still couldn't say so many words to his friends.
"Mengde, now is not the time to retreat modestly. Heaven will take care of it. If you don't take it, you are going against heaven. Besides, if you are not the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Xuande, do you think he will let it go?"
Bao Xin coughed twice and frowned.
"Okay, I understand. It's not that easy to take away Yanzhou. At least Liu Xuande can't do it."
Having said this, Cao Cao had nothing else to say and directly showed his heroic nature.
"Well, if you say that, I feel relieved."
After saying this, Bao Xin picked up a box from his side and handed it to Cao Cao.
"What is this?"
Although Cao Cao had already guessed what Bao Xin handed him, he still asked symbolically.
"What, Ji Bei Guoxiang Yin, I can no longer take charge of the work, I feel most at ease leaving this to you."
