Chapter 396: Chen Gong argues against Cao, Yu Jin dives alone
"Sir, don't worry, Guan Yu will never let Cao Cao's men in if Guan Yu is here."
Chen Gong's arrangements were so thorough, how could Guan Yu not support his work?
"Well, I'll go then."
After Chen Gong said that, he drove a carriage and paid the entrance fee, then swaggered to the prefect's mansion.
"who?"
When the soldiers at the door saw Chen Gong's carriage, they immediately became alert.
"I hope to inform Ying Zhongyuan, so I would like to ask Chen Gong of Dongjun to see me."
Chen Gong clenched his fists at the soldiers at the door, then threw a large sling of money at him.
"good."
The soldier at the door took the money and immediately turned around and rushed into the house with a smile on his face.
"Sir, there is a man from Dongjun at the door. He calls himself Chen Gong and wants to see him."
The doorman reported Chen Gong's information to Ying Shao.
"Chen Gong of Dongjun? Is he from Cao Cao? Invite him in, or I will greet him personally."
Ying Shao thought for a moment and came to the door in person to greet Chen Gong.
"Gongtai, you didn't tell me in advance when you came to me. You deliberately wanted to make me look bad, right?"
When Ying Shao came out, he saw Chen Gong at the door and immediately came to his side with a smile on his face.
"Brother Zhongyuan, you're welcome, why don't you want me to come in and sit down?"
Chen Gong smiled slightly, which finally resolved the chatter caused by Ying Shao.
"Quick, quick, please come in."
Ying Shao took Chen Gong with him into the prefect's mansion.
"Gongtai, why are you here in Taishan County?"
The two parties sat down, Ying Shao's eyes were sharp and he asked Chen Gong directly.
"Then why does Zhong Yuan think I'm here?"
Ying Shao made his move, but Chen Gong smiled slightly and asked a question.
"What's the matter? I don't know. Maybe he came to see me for tea and wine."
After Ying Shao finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.
"If the wise don't tell secret stories, what does brother Zhong Yuan think of the situation in Yanzhou? Who has the advantage, Liu Xuande or Cao Mengde?"
Chen Gong is not afraid even if you don't speak, because his current identity has not been explained to Ying Shao at all, he just said that he is from Dongjun.
"What do you think the public station thinks?"
Ying Shao is still the same, staying the same to cope with all changes.
"Cao Mengde is sitting in Dongjun, and he is supported by Bao Xin and Zhang Miao. In terms of strength, he is the strongest in Yanzhou."
Since you should be willing to sit firmly on Diaoyutai, I will help you analyze it.
"Then Gongtai is here to act as a lobbyist for Cao Mengde?"
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Ying Shao directly assigned him to Cao Cao's side.
"Brother Zhongyuan, do you think it's better to add the icing on the cake or to provide help when it's time?"
Chen Gong smiled slightly and did not answer Ying Shao's question.
"What do you mean by public platform? Could it be that you chose Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?"
Now Ying Shao finally figured out that Chen Gong was optimistic about Liu Bei.
"Yes, I did choose Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. According to what I just said, Cao Cao has the advantage. But the more advantage he has, the more disadvantageous it will be to others.
Cao Cao, who occupies the land of three counties, will not pay much attention to Taishan County. If Zhong Yuan defectes to the past, the worst result is that the position of governor will be vacated or you will be directly transferred to Dongjun. No matter what the result is, it is not what you want.
have witnessed,
On the contrary, if Brother Zhongyuan can choose Liu Xuande, then the position of Taishan Taishou will definitely be yours, Ying Zhongyuan. In this case, if you win the two counties, the situation in Yanzhou will be restored.
Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, will definitely not sit back and watch Cao Cao capture Yanzhou. Who is Yuan Yi? He is Yuan Shao's thorn in Nanyang in Yanzhou, so he will definitely send troops to support him. With the combined efforts of the three families, we will definitely be able to squeeze Cao Cao out of Yanzhou."
As soon as Chen Gong finished his words, he directly turned Cao Cao's advantage into a disadvantage, and also gave what he thought was the worst outcome to intimidate Ying Shao.
"The public broadcaster is too alarmist."
I have to say that Chen Gong's deception is indeed a headache. Even though Ying Shao knew that he was exaggerating, he couldn't help but stop thinking about it and began to think about this issue seriously.
"Then let's wait and see. Brother Zhongyuan, I'm a little tired from the journey."
Chen Gong knew that now was not the time for persecution. As long as Guan Yu could snipe Cao Cao's envoy outside the city, Ying Shao would not be able to escape his grasp.
"Come here, take your distinguished guest down to rest."
"promise."
In the afternoon of the same day, Yu Jin also came outside Fenggao with two hundred cavalry.
"stop."
While walking, Yu Jin suddenly called for a pause.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
A cavalry team came to Yu Jin's side.
"Something's wrong here. A large number of cavalry came here before us."
After Yu Jin finished speaking, he pointed to the pile of horse hoof prints and sparse horse dung in front of him.
"? Could it be a caravan or people from Taishan County?"
The team leader looked at where Yu Jin was pointing and frowned.
"No, the caravan should have a lot of carriages. There are no traces of carriages here. As for the people and horses in Taishan County, why would Ying Shao send people and horses out of the city? This is also unreasonable."
Yu Jin thought for a moment and rejected the explanation of the team rate.
"What could be the reason? Could it be Liu Bei's men? Impossible."
After saying this, the team leader shook his head. There was no way that they starting from Lu County could be slower than Liu Bei who started from Dongping Kingdom.
"How is that impossible? I think it's very likely that they are Liu Bei's men. So you guys can retreat temporarily so as not to be discovered by the enemy. I'll sneak into the city quietly to investigate the situation."
Now that he thought of this possibility, Yu Jin had to be careful. Being caught by Liu Bei's army who was ambushing outside was not a big deal, but it was a big deal if he destroyed Cao Cao.
"Sir, it's too dangerous for you to go by yourself. Why don't we do a counter-hunt and capture these enemies before heading to Fenggao City."
But the team leader licked the corner of his mouth slightly and said a very bloody plan, anti-hunting, exciting.
"Don't act rashly, wait for my news, otherwise you will be dealt with by military law."
Yu Jin almost died of anger, why the hell do you even have to beat yourself up?
"promise."
After saying this, Yu Jin took off his armor, changed into plain clothes, and walked towards Fenggao on foot with only the letter written by Cao Cao to Ying Shao.
"General, do you think Cao Cao's people will really come?"
Unlike Yu Jin, Guan Yu and the others are still waiting for the possible arrival of Cao Cao's army.
"Since Mr. Gongtai said he would come, he will come. By the way, go and clear away our traces now."
Guan Yu suddenly remembered a very important issue, that is, the traces of his arrival were not clear. This was always a flaw. If Cao Cao's people discovered it, they would probably alert him.
"promise."
The leader did not hesitate and headed straight for the route along which the fifty cavalrymen came.
"There's something wrong with the team rate."
After they arrived at their destination, they couldn't help but be stunned, because in addition to their own marks, there were many more horse hoof prints, which proved that someone had been here after they left.
"I will take people to investigate the enemy's situation. You should go back immediately and report to the second general."
After saying this, the team leader took his soldiers and horses and began to slowly check the traces of Cao Jun. At the same time, the news quickly reached Guan Yu's ears.
