Chapter 191 On the day of Baimenshen's death, who is willing to act like a public platform
Chapter 191: On the day of Baimen’s death, who is willing to act like a public figure?
Xiapi City, above the Baimen Tower.
Cao Cao has now entered the city. He sent people to retreat the water that burst the embankment, and at the same time went out to calm the people.
Speaking of which, what surprised Cao Cao was that the issue of the support of the people of Xiapi City went surprisingly smoothly...
This is thanks to the general strategy formulated by Zeng Yi Xiaotian - if you want to capture Xuzhou, you must first win the hearts and minds of the people.
Now, the model is in front of us. Under Cao Cao's governance, the people in Xuzhou's Western Territory live and work in peace and contentment. They never close their homes at night. There has never been an incident of bullying. The people of the entire Western Territory seem to have surrendered. These news will naturally spread to Xuzhou East through various channels.
territory.
After dinner, people would compare Cao Cao and Lu Bu...
Even if you don't say it openly, in fact, everyone is already looking forward to Cao Cao's arrival.
This is completely different from the attitude of Xuzhou people towards Cao Cao in history.
in history…
Because of the tragic death of his father, Cao Cao hated Tao Qian and Xuzhou, and carried out a brutal killing of Xuzhou in a rage...
After all, the book "Wei Lue", which was extremely friendly to Cao Cao, also recorded this - too much and too much damage.
This means that Cao Cao slaughtered every place he passed, leaving no chickens or dogs behind...
No fewer than hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered here... It was for this reason that Cao Cao gained the reputation of being the best butcher in the Three Kingdoms.
However, because of Yi Xiaotian.
History has quietly undergone some changes.
Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is not dead. Naturally, Cao Cao doesn't have much hatred for Xuzhou. He is just a prince who is thinking about Xuzhou's territory.
The rational Cao Cao's IQ was completely online. He first listened to Yi Xiaotian's general strategy to calm the people, and then put it into practice.
Now, with the capture of Tiapi, the people's hearts will naturally be attached to it.
Successfully appeased the people, successfully received the seal and ribbon from Xuzhou City, Hu Bo...
Cao Cao was in a particularly good mood. He slowly walked towards the Baimen Tower, where the tightly tied Lu Bu was still waiting for his fate.
…
Upstairs at the White Gate.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei were divided into hosts and guest seats were arranged.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong stood on one side respectively, while Lu Bu's surrendered generals Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian stood on the other side.
Not long after, a guard brought over a tall, burly man who was tied into a ball with ropes.
Before I even walked in, the big man shouted, "It's too tight. Can you loosen it a little bit?"
The visitors were none other than the unparalleled war gods Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed. This was the laughter of a victor. This was the mockery of a superior to a subordinate.
He muttered in his heart, and after all the hard work, he finally captured you, Lu Bu. "Tie the tiger, don't dare to tie it loosely.
Cao Cao stood up, with a smile on his face.
Lu Bu looked around and saw that among the eight capable generals, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian were all standing beside Cao Cao, "You..." he roared, as if realizing that he was a prisoner, he quickly lowered his voice. "I won't treat you well."
Bo, why did you steal my Fangtian Painted Halberd and my Red Rabbit Horse? Why did you all betray me!"
"Hmph..." Hou Cheng snorted coldly. "You listen to your wife but don't listen to the words of the military advisor. You beat me to pieces just for a pot of wine. Isn't this called bad?"
As soon as he said this, Lu Bu lowered his head and remained silent.
call out…
Cao Cao seemed to suddenly realize something. Hou Cheng's words contained so much information!
When he and Jia Xu presented Lu Bu's four trump cards to Yi Xiaotian, they specifically mentioned Lu Bu's bravery, Chen Gong's resourcefulness, and the combat power of the Eighth Generals...
Brother Yi was quite disdainful at that time, saying that Lu Bu's bravery relied on the red rabbit horse and Fang Tian's painted halberd. If someone stole his red rabbit horse and Fang Tian's painted halberd, Lu Bu would have nothing. Even with all his strength, he can only defeat him;
And...Brother Yi is determined.
Lu Bu will definitely listen to his wife's words, whether it is Chen Gong or the Eighth Generals, even if Lu Bu listens to his wife, he will not listen to them;
What's more, Brother Yi even predicted in advance that several of the eight generals had a sworn hatred against Lu Bu, and he wanted to get rid of them quickly...
this…
Cao Cao gently raised his hand and knocked on his forehead.
After listening to the conversation between Hou Cheng and Lu Bu, Cao Cao immediately realized that it seemed that all of Brother Yi's predictions and judgments had come true!
Lu Bu's combat power collapsed after losing Fang Tian Hua Ji and Red Rabbit Horse.
Chen Gong's resourcefulness was not due to the fact that Lu Bu's wife was stillborn.
The fighting power of the eight-strong general, haha... instead of helping Lu Bu, it actually completely harmed him.
"It's amazing, amazing again! Brother Yi is still so good at knowing things..."
Cao Cao couldn't help but think to himself.
Of course, Cao Cao was not the only one who was surprised at this moment. Even Jia Xu was squinting his eyes tightly. In the past, he admired Yi Xiaotian with all his admiration, but now his admiration for Yi Xiaotian has doubled to ten. Already.
…
After some thought...
Attendants Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zang Ba and Zhang Liao pressed forward.
"I swear to live and die together with the general!" Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and Zhang Liao looked neither humble nor arrogant. Their faces were cold, and they displayed four big words - regard death as home!
"Take them to jail." Cao Cao didn't waste any time talking to them. He just waved his hand and said that according to Brother Yi's plan, it would take a lot of effort to recruit Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and Zhang Liao.
Well now...it's not that we don't want to recruit, the time has not yet come.
As for Chen Gong...
"It's okay to come to the public platform!"
Cao Cao smiled and said, Speaking of which, Chen Gong and he are old acquaintances. When Cao Cao jumped from a small prefect of Dongjun to the shepherd of Yanzhou, Yi Xiaotian just made a prediction.
But the person who mediates the situation is this good friend, best friend - Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai!
Cao Cao still doesn't want to believe that Chen Gong would betray him.
"Stop talking so much, you have evil intentions, that's why I turned my back on you." Chen Gongdu didn't even look at Cao Cao, he just lowered his head and spoke to himself.
"My intentions are evil? Then why did you go to Lu Bu?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"Hahaha..." Chen Gong laughed. "Although Lu Bu is innocent, he is not as cunning and evil as you. If you want to hate me, I only hate that Lu Bu didn't listen to my words. Otherwise, the victory or defeat may not be determined now!"
yes…
Of course Lu Bu didn't listen to your words. Brother Yi had expected this early on. He only listened to his wife's words.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head and felt a sigh in his heart.
Sure enough, as Brother Yi said, he and Chen Gong are not the same person. Instead of forcing it, it is better to use his head to set the rules and sound a wake-up call to those who have double-minded intentions and premeditated betrayal.
Of course, the method of putting on a full show to appease the surrendering general seemed to have been mentioned during the conversation with Brother Yi.
"Gongtai, I won't keep you. You are not the same as me after all." Cao Cao took a deep breath and sighed longly. "But don't worry, Gongtai, those who rule the world with filial piety will not harm others' relatives.
After countless people have given benevolent policies to the world, your old mother is my mother, your children are my children, and...your wife is me..."
When the topic of his wife came up, Cao Cao quickly stopped talking. He couldn't say what he was thinking. It was so embarrassing.
"That's all."
Chen Gong obviously doesn't want to worry about it so much anymore. Now he is more sorrowful than his heart. "The survival of my mother and my wife depends on Mr. Cao's thoughts. I have been captured and am about to die. There is nothing to worry about."
."
After saying this, Cao Cao felt a little regretful...
He still wanted to say something, but after all he remembered Brother Yi's instructions - Cao Cao and Chen Gong are not the same people!
With this thought in mind, Chen Gong walked towards the execution ground with a big smile, seemingly in a good mood.
As the saying goes - on the day of Baimen's death, who is willing to be like a public servant?
This poem is the most positive judgment of later generations on the stubborn Chen Gong.
…
Well, all of Lu Bu's cadres were also imprisoned, Chen Gong was also killed, and the military power was established.
Now it’s the turn of the main event, Lu Bu and Lu Feng take the lead!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was making up his mind...
But what no one noticed was that behind Cao Cao, Liu Bei also narrowed his eyes and grinned quietly, revealing a sly smile.
However, soon, his eyes and his smile suddenly stopped...
He hides it very well... He even uses his disguise to achieve his ultimate goal.
