Six hundred and twentieth IX insight into everything
Chapter 629: Understand everything
Chen Wen gave his answer directly to Song Xian.
"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, on this point, my lord will definitely not do that despicable thing. If Cao Cao dares to make a mistake, he will step on my lord's body."
Chen Wen's words made Song Xian feel happy. As long as they could enter Yangzhou, even if they had to face Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, their goal would be achieved.
"Okay, then you go back and report to your lord and let him lead his troops into Yangzhou."
Song Xian's words made Chen Wen nod directly. Although letting Lu Bu enter Yangzhou was not a win-win situation, it could help him deal with Cao Cao to some extent, which was not bad.
"No, then I'll leave now."
Song Xian saluted Chen Wen again with clasped fists, and then left the Governor's Mansion directly.
"Zhi'an, Lu Bu has already reached an agreement, so can we refuse Xi Zhicai?"
After Song Xian left, Chen Wen spoke to Zhang Xun again.
"My lord, it will take some time for Lu Bu's army to arrive. We must focus on safety now and stabilize Xi Zhicai first. It won't be too late to reply to Lu Bu when he really arrives in Yangzhou."
Zhang Xun shook his head. Lu Bu's reinforcements haven't arrived yet. If they reply to Xi Zhicai immediately, Cao Cao will probably send troops now. If Lu Bu doesn't arrive then, they will have to spend a lot of time to stop them.
It took a lot of effort.
"Hey, you're right, let's do it like that. If you can delay it for one day, just delay it for one day."
Chen Wen let out a long sigh again, with a lonely look in his eyes. If he was as strong as Yuan Shu now, how could he be so helpless now? The situation was really stronger than the person, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"promise."
Song Xian was really thinking hard this time. He didn't stop at all and rode his horse in the direction of Lu Bu's march. He wanted to report the good news to Lu Bu as soon as possible to make him happy.
On the other hand, Xi Zhicai rested peacefully in the inn, drinking tea while waiting for Chen Wen to make the final decision.
"Sir, why are you so calm? Are you sure that Chen Wen will give Yangzhou to my lord?"
The boy looked at Xi Zhicai's appearance and couldn't help but utter a question.
"Dongzhi, do you know what kind of person Chen Wen is?"
Xi Zhicai still looked the same. He picked up the tea bowl and blew it gently, then took a sip of tea with his mouth.
"I don't know Chen Wen, but he must not be an easy person to serve as the governor of Yangzhou for so many years."
The boy thought about it for a while. He didn't have the ability to penetrate people's hearts through drama, so he could only answer according to what he thought in his heart.
"Chen Wen certainly has talent, but his ambition is not big. Although he has played a role in helping the people in Yangzhou in recent years, he does not have much control over Yangzhou.
, it’s appropriate to say that he is scheming and unpredictable,
He is a courtier who is absolutely loyal to the Han Dynasty. If I point to Yuan Shu's ambition, then Chen Wen will never let Yuan Shu get Yangzhou. This is his bottom line, understand."
Xi Zhi just finished drinking the tea and saw a glint flashing in the boy's eyes.
"But none of his ministers agreed to give Yangzhou to the lord. This is also a problem,"
The boy helped Xi Zhicai fill up the tea and at the same time expressed his questions.
"Haha, those people are just mediocre people. The reason why they didn't agree with Chen Wen to give Yangzhou to the lord was because they were afraid that their status and power would disappear after the lord took over Yangzhou.
We are fundamentally opposed to them, so as long as Chen Wen's lifeline can be pinned down, Yangzhou will not be able to escape.
In the end, even if Chen Wen really follows everyone's wishes and chooses to confront us head-on, it doesn't matter, the lord's army is not something he can resist."
Xi Zhi picked up the newly filled tea with a look of indifference in his eyes.
"You know it at such a young age."
After hearing Xi Zhicai's explanation, the boy's expression calmed down. As Xi Zhicai said, since he and Chen Wen's subordinates are in opposition, there is no need to win over him, and he also believes in Cao Cao's strength.
Yangzhou is invincible on the territory.
"Just wait and see."
"promise."
Time passed by minute by second and it turned out to be two days in the blink of an eye. Chen Wen still had no reply, but Xi Zhicai was a little unsure.
"Dongzhi, please make arrangements. Let's go meet Chen Wen today and see what he really thinks."
Xi Zhicai got up and asked the boy to arrange the carriage and horses. He was going to have a showdown with Chen Wen.
"promise."
The servant arranged the carriage and drove Xi Zhicai towards the Governor's Mansion.
"Sir, Mr. Xi Zhicai is asking for an audience outside the house."
Hearing the servant's words, Chen Wen's eyes flashed with solemnity, what should come will always come.
"Ask Xi Zhicai to wait in the living room, I'll go see him right away."
"promise."
The servant followed Chen Wen's arrangement and took Xi Zhicai directly to the living room to wait. Not long after, Chen Wen also appeared in the living room.
"Lord Governor, I wonder how you are thinking about it?"
When Xi Zhicai saw Chen Wen come in, he asked him directly without being tactful.
"Hey, to be honest, Mr. Zhicai, my original intention was to agree with you and give up Yangzhou to Mengde, but as you saw that day, all the ministers under my command disagreed, and it was difficult for me to do so.
Well, otherwise you can rest for two days, I believe I will be able to complete their work and hand over Yangzhou safely to Meng De's hands."
Chen Wen glanced at Xi Zhicai, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Although this ray of energy only disappeared for a moment, it was directly captured by Xi Zhicai.
Although Chen Wen spoke well, Xi Zhicai felt the change in his mood, which was completely different from the first conversation.
"In that case, I will wait for two more days and hope that the governor can give me a satisfactory answer."
Although Xi Zhicai felt something strange, he remained calm and just clasped his fists and chose to leave.
"Mr. Zhicai, come slowly. I have arranged a banquet. Let's have a few drinks."
When Xi Zhicai was about to leave, Chen Wen quickly spoke to stop him.
"Xi Zhicai appreciates your kindness. When Yangzhou is really handed over to my lord, Xi Zhicai will definitely drink three hundred cups with you."
Faced with Chen Wen's request to stay, Xi Zhicai politely refused.
"Okay, then just wait at the inn for two more days."
Xi Zhicai declined him politely, and Chen Wen had nothing to say.
"OK."
Xi Zhicai got on the carriage directly.
"Back to the inn."
"promise."
The boy did not hesitate and drove the carriage directly towards the inn.
"Sir, what did Chen Wen say this time?"
The boy asked Xi Zhicai while driving.
"Chen Wen has made a decision, but this decision is a bit bad."
