Different from Tian Feng's idea, in fact, the abilities of the three monarchs of the Three Kingdoms are also very different. Cao Cao is in the north and is the real hero, ranking first.
Compared to Cao Cao, Liu Bei was a step lower. After all, he suffered repeated defeats. After winning over Zhuge Liang, he turned around and captured Yizhou, Hanzhong, and stole Jingzhou, so he was in the second tier.
Sun Quan of the Wu family in Jiangdong, to be honest, in Yuan Shu's view, he was just a second-generation official, and the rest of Fen's third generation were all credited to Sun Ce. If Sun Quan really had to start from scratch, he might have been beaten long ago.
Killed, let alone the later Emperor Sun Wu, so it is placed in the third gear.
This is also the reason why Yuan Shu abandoned Yanzhou and went to Xuzhou to fight against Cao Cao in the first place. He would never give Cao Cao any chance. On the contrary, Liu Bei was much worse than Cao Cao.
"Since my lord has already made plans, I have nothing to say."
Yuan Shu had his own plans, and he didn't take Liu Bei seriously, so Tian Feng had nothing to say.
"Well, that's it. Let's not talk about Liu Bei now. Let's talk about why Chen Gong was kept by Liu Bei?"
Yuan Shu nodded. Now is not the time to discuss Liu Bei, but to think about Chen Gong.
"Chen Gongtai is also a wise man. This time the Battle of Yanzhou was apparently fought by Liu Bei, but in fact it was a contest with Chen Gong. Now Chen Gong, the commander of the Battle of Yanzhou, has been abandoned by Liu Bei. There may be something going on that we don't know about.
Things are hard to guess, hard to guess."
Tian Feng shook his head. The question Yuan Shu asked now was indeed a bit out of line. He was not a fortune teller. He could know the geography tomorrow and command thousands of troops. But if he was asked to predict people's hearts, he would really do it.
Less than.
"Then let's wait until we meet Chen Gong. This person is as big a schemer as you. We must find a way to take him down."
Yuan Shu is not thinking about Liu Bei now, but Chen Gong. Being able to win this big plan will definitely be a big help to him.
"I'll arrange for someone to bring Chen Gong back right away. Don't get on the rope."
Tian Feng said nothing else, saluted Yuan directly and walked outside.
"Chen Gong, Chen Gong, I hope you are a talented person who understands current affairs, otherwise don't blame me."
After Tian Feng left, Yuan Shu looked up at the sky outside, his eyes narrowed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"My lord has an order, escort Chen Gong to Lu County immediately, don't get on the rope."
The scouts quickly returned from Lu County, found Dian Wei and directly stated Yuan Shu's order.
"Liuzi, take a few people to escort Chen Gong to Lu County."
Upon hearing that it was Yuan Shu's order, Dian Wei directly called for a personal guard and led Chen Gong towards Lu County.
"Lord, Chen Gong has arrived."
"Bring him in."
Upon hearing Chen Gong's arrival, Yuan Shu opened his half-closed eyes.
"promise."
After a while, Chen Gong was sent to Yuan Shu's hall, and the person who sent him there also wisely exited the room and closed the door at the same time.
"Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai?"
To be honest, Yuan Shu could not understand or guess Chen Gong, so he was not completely sure about recruiting him. After all, he died in the Baimen Tower with Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is impossible to say that such a person is loyal.
,
But it is certain that this person has character and a bottom line, otherwise he would not have left Cao Cao alone at the beginning, but now he does not leave with Liu Bei. There is something in this.
"It's down there."
Chen Gong didn't have any stage fright and directly responded to Yuan Shu with fists in his arms.
"Liu Xuande left. Why did Mr. Gongtai stay alone? I want to know."
A flash of light flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and he stared at Chen Gong.
"Without him, this Yanzhou battle was all planned and planned by me from the beginning to the end. Now that we have lost, I must stay and give an explanation to the tens of thousands of soldiers who were killed and injured."
Chen Gong also raised his eyes and stared at Yuan Shu closely, but his eyes were lifeless and lifeless.
"statement?
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Otherwise, the one who should stay the most is not you, but Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. What I said is fine."
Yuan Shu looked at Chen Gong. He couldn't figure out what he meant. If there was a problem, someone would have to step in. That was a problem that only occurred in peaceful times. Now, should accountability be initiated?
Aren't you a little too ahead of your time, let alone Liu Bei, who would be willing to let a talented person like you come out to support you?
Besides, Liu Bei seems to have nothing to explain, and no one to whom he can explain. After leaving more than 10,000 troops, he is just a bare commander, without having to consider the feelings of the people below him. There is definitely something to this.
"Haha, what Yuan Zhoumu said is right. Let me die with dignity, so that I can follow the footsteps of the soldiers who died in battle and apologize to them on the way."
Yuan Shu's words did not go into Chen Gong's heart at all. He had actually been prepared to die when he decided to stay. After all, Liu Bei had always trusted him 100 times from asking him to come out to letting him preside over the battle of Yanzhou.
Doubtful, a scholar dies for his confidant, and he Chen Gong dies for Liu Bei without regrets.
"Chen Gong, you are a man of great talent. I don't want you to die in such a daze. I want you to help me."
Chen Gong's words made Yuan Shu frown, and he was scratching his head for a man who wanted to die.
"Haha, it doesn't have to be like this. Yuan Zhoumu has a lot of talents under his command. One more Chen Gong is not too much, and one less Chen Gong is a lot."
Faced with Yuan Shu's request to stay, Chen Gong shook his head.
"Don't rush to reject it yet. I know that Brother Gongtai is a man of character, but in these troubled times, who do you think will suffer the most?"
Facing a person with great wisdom and a will to die, if you want to get him over, you can only start with what he cares about most. So what does Chen Gong care about most?
Why did he turn his back on Cao Cao?
We have seen it from history, that is character. In fact, after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was caught by Chen Gong, he recognized Cao Cao's character very much. He is a great knight who serves the country and the people. This is what he appreciates
people,
But when Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's family and shouted out that I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me, he recognized his character and left him directly.
But why does Chen Gong care about the character of his assistant?
In fact, my original intention is to care about the people at the bottom. A benevolent and righteous person, even if he is a fool like Lu Bu, as long as his character is not a problem and if he can succeed, he will not treat the people at the bottom too badly.
But if a tyrant like Cao Cao is in power, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing for the people. This is the fundamental reason why Chen Gong does not want to assist Cao Cao.
Then the breakthrough point for me to leverage Chen Gong is the word "min".
Chen Gong was also stunned. He didn't know why Yuan Shu asked this question. This was all a matter of course.
