Chapter 683: Comparison between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu
In the Chinese army's tent, the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
What Chen Gong just said must have different thoughts in Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's minds.
After Yuan Shu listened, he felt that Chen Gong's words were very pertinent and realistic. More importantly, he could preserve his strength, which was what Yuan Shu liked most. He looked at Chen Gong carefully and saw that Chen Gong's appearance was extraordinary and his eyes were deep.
I feel that Chen Gong sees the problem to the point and is a rare talent. The idea of conquering Chen Gong becomes more urgent.
Lu Bu disagreed and curled his lips.
He held a square-shaped halberd in his hand and a red rabbit horse chasing the wind at his hip. How could such a heroic figure act like a tortoise and instead of attacking Wang Can, he tolerated everything?
As a counselor, Chen Gong naturally knows how to observe words and emotions.
He caught a glimpse of the different expressions on Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's faces, and sighed in his heart.
Lu Bu is arrogant and has no city. This is Lu Bu's biggest flaw. If the gap in Lu Bu's character can be made up for, coupled with Lu Bu's martial arts, the world is so big, where can't you go? Where is not a safe place? Chen
Gong glanced at Yuan Shu again, a little absent-minded, and said nothing.
He has said everything that needs to be said, so what else can he do?
The decision must be made by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. Chen Gong stood up, raised his hands and said: "My lord, Lord Yuan, since I have nothing else to do, I will resign from my post!"
Yuan Shu has not yet shown his virtuous nature, so how can he let Chen Gong leave so easily?
He quickly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Chen, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, military matters are handled by the military generals. The situation in our army is unclear and very dangerous. We still need your guidance, sir. Please sit down calmly!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he rolled his eyes at Yuan Shu.
Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu, then sat down again.
Yuan Shu asked: "Mr. Chen, if Wang Can leads his troops to kill, what should we do?"
In fact, Yuan Shu has already agreed with Chen Gong's suggestion. Because Chen Gong's suggestion allows Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to get a share of the pie while preserving their own strength. This method of making money while lying down is naturally a good way, and it is not easy to do so.
It would put himself in danger, so Yuan Shu was very eager to get Chen Gong's advice.
Chen Gong said: "Master Yuan, the ditch has been dug outside the camp and the horses have been placed. Why should we fear Wang Can's attack?"
When he heard Yuan Shu asking nonsense, he stood up and bowed to the two of them, then left.
Yuan Shu was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Lu Bu didn't pay attention to Chen Gong at all. In his cognitive world, he was the lord and Chen Gong was the minister. The lord could ignore his ministers when doing things, but the ministers should naturally hang around the lord. So Lu Bu did not face him and Chen Gong.
Because of his relationship with Chen Gong, he thought he was superior and it was Chen Gong who wanted something from him.
He looked at Yuan Shu and asked: "Master Yuan, what do you think we should do?"
Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Mr. Chen just said that he was in a stalemate with Wang Can!" He was very confused and didn't understand what was in Lu Bu's mind?
When Lu Bu heard this, he agreed happily.
If Yuan Shu did not send troops, he could not attack Wang Can alone. Seeing that Yuan Shu was determined to defend, Lu Bu felt that it was boring, so he simply handed over his hand, and immediately left the tent and walked towards the place where his army was stationed.
When Yuan Shu saw Lu Bu leaving, a smile appeared on his lips.
This guy is brave and has no plans, he is just a brave man.
He sat quietly for a long time, then stood up and walked out of the camp. Because of the battle with Wang Can, two generals under his command were killed and injured. Yuan Shu also needed to comfort the soldiers under his command, otherwise it would easily cause unrest in the army.
…
Winter night, the cold wind is biting.
In the dark night, the cold wind kept blowing and whistling. In the camp, torches were already burning, and the burning fire illuminated the surrounding area of the camp red.
Yuan Shu lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully.
Finally, Yuan Shu simply stood up and returned to the tent.
He called a soldier and ordered: "Go to Chen Gong's camp immediately and invite him to come to my camp to discuss matters. Well, try to avoid making any noise and don't let others know."
"promise!"
The soldier replied, then turned and left.
Not long after, the sound of trampling footsteps could be heard outside the camp.
Chen Gong was wearing a black cotton robe, lifted up the tent curtain and walked in. He bowed his hands to Yuan Shu as a sign of respect, and then asked: "Master Yuan sent someone to find Chen Gong late at night. I wonder what Master Yuan wants."
thing?"
Yuan Shu smiled, waved his hand and said: "Sir, please sit down!"
Chen Gong sat down as he was told and waited for Yuan Shu to speak.
After Yuan Shu carefully sorted out his thoughts, he asked: "Sir, I have some doubts in my mind. Please answer them. You have great ambitions and know things like a god, so you will definitely understand."
Chen Gong said: "It doesn't matter if you just say it!"
Yuan Shu leaned forward slightly and asked, "How is my ability compared to Lu Bu?"
Chen Gong raised his eyebrows and said, "Far inferior to my lord!"
Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard Chen Gong's words.
He was from the Yuan family. He was a descendant of a well-known family. He had a good family education, was proficient in riding and shooting, had some knowledge of military arts, and had a high prestige. Yuan Shu was indignant that such a person could not compare to a barbaric man. But he wanted to impress Chen.
Gong, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and did not burst out.
Yuan Shu thought for a while and asked: "Mr. Chen, how does my power compare to Lu Bu?"
Chen Gong dusted off the dust on his sleeves and said calmly: "Master Yuan's power is difficult to match that of my lord."
This sentence made Yuan Shu feel very uneasy.
Even though Yuan Shu was well-educated, he still couldn't bear it. He snorted and retorted directly: "Mr. Chen, I occupy Yangzhou and have the land east of Jiangdong. Not only do I have the sea at my back, but I can also defend Jiangdong. How can such a power be comparable to that of Lu Bu?
"
"On the other hand, although Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou and had a place to live, the place where Xuzhou was located during the Four Battles was adjacent to Qingzhou to the north and bordered Yuan Shao's sphere of influence; to the west it was adjacent to Yanzhou and bordered by Cao Cao's sphere of influence; to the south it was adjacent to Yangzhou and my sphere of influence.
The forces are bordering on each other; coupled with Lu Bu's arrogance and ignorance, and making enemies on all sides, although he is extremely brave, he may not be able to achieve great things."
Yuan Shu had put in a lot of effort, so he went to Chen Gong to talk about the matter.
His purpose was to take Chen Palace for his own use.
After Chen Gong heard this, he laughed and said: "Master Yuan, it is precisely what you said that makes my lord as stable as a mountain. Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, if they send troops easily, the other side will be constrained. As for the other side.
Are you? I’m not afraid of being hostile to you, because you can’t protect yourself.”
Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's the meaning of this statement?"
Chen Gong smiled, but did not analyze the reason for Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu's mind changed and he thought that the purpose of finding Chen Gong was to take Chen Gong for his own use, but now his thoughts were disturbed by Chen Gong's words. This was not okay!
As long as he takes Chen Gong, all problems will be solved.
In fact, Chen Gong already had a certain understanding in his heart through Yuan Shu's words just now and the burning eyes Yuan Shu looked at him during the day. He understood the meaning of Yuan Shu's words and knew that Yuan Shu wanted to poach Lu Bu.
When encountering such a thing, Chen Gong could only smile bitterly to himself,
As allies, you still have to fight among yourself. How can you be a successful person?
