In the hall, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat quietly, without speaking.
Liu Bei thought for a long time, rolled his eyes, and said coldly: "Since Lu Bu is blocking our way, let's get rid of him, and then draw Chen Gong over and use it for me!"
Liu Bei stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, then clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and showed a fierce expression.
After hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and they suddenly became excited.
Both of them despised Lu Bu's character, because Lu Bu first killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan and then his adoptive father Dong Zhuo. He was an authentic white-eyed wolf. But while they despised Lu Bu, they also wanted to kill him. The hatred between the two parties can be said to be
Higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, because Lu Bu was unjust and took away Liu Bei's Xuzhou, causing Liu Bei to lose his territory.
If Lu Bu led the army to capture Xuzhou, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would have nothing to say, because that would mean that their skills were inferior to others, but this is not the case. Liu Bei kindly took Lu Bu in, but Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei very angry.
.
Liu Bei said he was going to get rid of Lu Bu, which played into the plans of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "Brother, Lu Bu also has countless elite soldiers under his command, I'm afraid it's not easy to take action!"
The excited expression on Zhang Fei's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, and he said: "Second brother is right. Lu Bu not only has countless elite soldiers, but Lu Bu's martial arts are also superb. Even if the second brother and I add up, I'm afraid
It is difficult to kill Lu Bu, and it is difficult to have a perfect strategy!"
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Of course we can't do anything, but we can borrow a knife to kill Lu Bu and use Wang Can's knife to kill Lu Bu. As long as Lu Bu dies, we can win over Chen Gong."
After Guan Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He then thought about it and thought that this might be Liu Bei's excuse for wanting to attack Wang Can, so he asked: "Brother, don't you want to attack Wang Can, and killing Lu Bu is just an excuse to send troops?"
Zhang Fei also felt something was wrong after listening to Guan Yu's words.
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Second brother, although the eldest brother is in charge of Yuzhou and has a little power, his head is not dizzy!"
Guan Yu nodded and said: "In this case, how should we treat Wang Can? The relationship between us and Wang Can is not deep. But compared with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, their jurisdiction is far away from Yizhou, while we are close to Yizhou
, once Wang Can regains his breath, won’t we become Wang Can’s punching bag?”
Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Second brother, the eldest brother knows your worries, but the eldest brother also knows the plans of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. The two were defeated by Wang Can and suffered heavy casualties. The reason for inviting me to send troops at this time is to let us act as the vanguard and help
They attacked Wang Can. In this way, the two of them benefited greatly, but they thought well, but they did not succeed so easily."
"Now that the emperor has been killed, but there is no new king to inherit the throne, the situation now is that the princes have risen together. All the princes in the world are working hard to develop themselves and increase their strength."
"At this time, we must also strengthen our strength and expand our power as soon as possible."
"Lü Bu has Chen Gong but can't use it, so we have to win over Chen Gong. Of course, to win over Chen Gong, we must kill Lü Bu, and the key to killing Lü Bu is to send troops. Wait until we send troops to attack Wang Can
Finally, we must use Wang Can's power on the battlefield to put Lu Bu into a certain death situation, use Wang Can to kill Wang Can, and seize Chen Gong."
At this point, Liu Bei said calmly: "As for offending Wang Can, well, the princes in the world are already vying for the throne, and they will eventually fight against each other. A war in exchange for Chen Gong's surrender is enough!"
Zhang Fei said: "Brother, is Chen Gong worth it?"
Liu Bei said categorically: "It's worth it!"
The tone was firm and there was no room for doubt. Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both nodded and agreed to Liu Bei's decision. However, they were also very excited, because they wanted to kill Lu Bu. This was what made them most excited. Lu Bu, that white-eyed wolf,
He should have died a long time ago, and if he died, Chen Gong would be able to assist Liu Bei, so he died well.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Liu Bei relieved Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's resentment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he eagerly wanted a counselor, he could not ignore the feelings of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, because counselors and strong generals must coexist, and one cannot be light and the other heavy. Without counselors, a man with ten thousand kilograms of power cannot exert his power.
All the power, but having counselors but no generals is like having a peerless secret book but blocked muscles and unable to practice martial arts.
Therefore, while Liu Bei was wooing Chen Gong, he had to appease Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
After Liu Bei finished handling the matter, he went to see Chen Gong again.
Throughout the afternoon, Liu Bei and Chen Gong had a long talk.
The conversation between the two was, on the one hand, about sending troops, and on the other hand, Liu Bei and Chen Gong were talking about everything. Whether it was about military strategies or geographical knowledge, the two of them talked happily, and they seemed to regret meeting each other late.
Liu Bei was accustomed to recognizing people, his eyes were extremely vicious, he could see people very accurately, and his methods were also very powerful.
Invisibly, Liu Bei gained Chen Gong's favor.
After chatting with Liu Bei, Chen Gong naturally had a comparison in his mind.
Compared with Lu Bu, Liu Bei was able to follow the good deeds and had the qualities of a heroic leader; compared with Yuan Shu, Liu Bei loved the people and was a benevolent monarch. This was what Chen Gong liked the most.
Yuan Shu once extended an olive branch and wanted to recruit Chen Gong, but Chen Gong refused without hesitation.
The reason is that Yuan Shu and Chen Gong have different Taoisms, so they naturally do not conspire with each other.
Chen Gong valued the people, and Liu Bei also had the idea of benevolence and love for the people. The same governance philosophy made the two people talk harmoniously, but it also made Chen Gong feel a little regretful that they met so late! However, although Chen Gong had thoughts about surrendering to Liu Bei
The idea was suppressed immediately. As Zhang Fei said, as long as Lu Bu was around, Chen Gong would not seek refuge with anyone else.
Lu Bu has shortcomings, but unlike Cao Cao, Chen Gong can tolerate Lu Bu's shortcomings.
Therefore, Chen Gong will not betray Lu Bu.
Liu Bei didn't even think about attracting Chen Gong. He slowly simmered Chen Gong over. First, he left an impression on Chen Gong's heart that he was thirsty for talents, and then the two of them had a long chat.
, talked about his own governance philosophy, and thus gained Chen Gong's approval, making steady progress step by step.
As long as Lu Bu is killed, Chen Gong's matter will be resolved naturally.
Liu Bei has gone through many ups and downs, so he is very stable and reliable in his work.
When the two were talking, Chen Gong didn't notice that he fell into the trap set by Liu Bei step by step. Because when Liu Bei and Chen Gong communicated, he didn't express the idea of recruiting Chen Gong. He was like a man he hadn't seen for many years.
The old friend chatted with Chen Gong and talked freely with Chen Gong about his ideals.
The two kept talking and didn't even notice that the oil lamp was lit in the room.
In the end, the attendant reminded Liu Bei that it was time to watch dinner, so Liu Bei reluctantly left.
After Liu Bei had a conversation with Chen Gong, he became more determined to pry Chen Gong over.
Because Chen Gong was so in line with Liu Bei's standards as a counselor, they had the same goal and the same philosophy. Only such a monarch and minister could be a perfect match. Although Liu Bei wanted to continue talking to Chen Gong, he held back because the afternoon conversation was enough.
, it seemed a bit excessive to continue the conversation.
