Wang Can and Hua Tuo walked out of the hut one after another, with Wang Can in front and Hua Tuo behind.
Not only that, Hua Tuo looked respectful, leaning forward slightly, with incomparable respect in his eyes. Such a scene fell in the eyes of Dian Wei and Wang Yue, making them suddenly open their eyes wide with incredible expressions.
If they hadn't known that Wang Can had never met Hua Tuo, they would have thought that Wang Can and Hua Tuo had colluded in advance.
Wang Can paid a visit to Hua Tuo last night, but was kicked out by Hua Tuo. However, in the blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed. Hua Tuo followed Wang Can respectfully, with a pious expression that was unbelievable.
surprise!
So surprising!
Dian Wei and Wang Yue were full of doubts, but at this time they could not rush up to grab Hua Tuo and ask them. They could only hold it in their hearts and wait for Wang Can to speak. After Wang Can and Hua Tuo came out one after another, the people
Their eyes also fell on Hua Tuo and Wang Can to see what would happen next.
Hua Tuo cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, I'll go ahead and take my leave."
Wang Can nodded, waved his hand and said: "Please, Mr. Hua, I hope Mr. Hua will come back soon!"
Hua Tuo said again: "I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
After saying this, Hua Tuo carried the medicine box and walked out of the village. The people watching around him did not dare to get close to Wang Can, because Wang Can's official position was Lord Mu of the State, which was feared.
However, the people were willing to get close to Hua Tuo. When Hua Tuo carried the medicine box and walked out of the village, the people in the village took out prepared food and gave it to Hua Tuo, or some gave Hua Tuo a little money.
, but all of them were rejected by Hua Tuo without exception. The slightly rickety figure gradually drifted away among the people, and finally disappeared.
Seeing that Hua Tuo had left, Dian Wei hurriedly asked: "Sir, Hua Tuo is leaving now?"
Wang Can nodded and said: "Let's go!"
Wang Yue continued: "General Dian, didn't you listen to the conversation between my lord and Hua Tuo? Although Hua Tuo left, he will come back. He will probably stay in Chengdu and will not leave."
Wang Can was in a good mood and said: "Zi Wu's words make sense. Let's go back to Chengdu."
The group then left the mountain village and returned to Chengdu.
…
Xuzhou, Pengcheng.
The state pastoral office has long been desolate and desolate.
Lu Bu was killed, and Lu Bu's family members were affected without exception. In the past, the prefectural pastoral office, which was full of people, became deserted, and few people came. After all, Lu Bu passed away, and it was impossible for anyone to come to the prefectural pastoral office. In addition, Xuzhou's military and political affairs were all over the place.
The matter was handled at Chen Gong's residence. All the officials in Xuzhou went to Chen Gong's residence to report the news, so almost no one went to the Prefectural Mu's Mansion.
Although Chen Gong was loyal to Lu Bu and respected the dead Lu Bu as his master, he had already taken over the military and political power.
Even if Chen Gong wanted to usurp power, Lu Bu's family would be hard-pressed to stop him.
But Chen Gong has no ambitions. Even if he takes over the military and political power in Xuzhou, he has been conscientiously handling Xuzhou's political affairs and stabilizing the turbulent Xuzhou. However, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a snake cannot be without a head for a day. There is no one in Xuzhou
It is difficult for the leader to stabilize his military morale after all.
Not far from the Zhou Mu Mansion, in Chen Gong's mansion.
Chen Gong was sitting in the hall, and below him were the people who came to report the news.
The soldier looked anxious and reported: "Military advisor, according to reports from spies, after a month of recruiting troops, Yuan Shu gathered an army of 50,000 and came to Xuzhou."
After hearing this, Chen Gong did not show any panic.
Not only that, Chen Gong said instead: "I had long expected that Yuan Shu would send troops to attack Xuzhou, but I didn't expect that he would come now. I already know the news. You can go down."
After finishing speaking, Chen Gong dismissed the soldiers who reported the news.
The soldier who reported the news was very worried when he knew that Yuan Shu was leading his troops to attack Xuzhou. However, when the soldier heard that Chen Gong said that he had expected it, he felt relieved again. Since Chen Gong had known about this for a long time, he must have taken precautionary measures.
This way to deal with Yuan Shu's army, the soldiers felt at ease again and left the hall briskly.
After the soldiers left, Chen Gong's expression darkened.
What was supposed to come, came anyway.
Perhaps, he could lead troops to defeat Yuan Shu, but Chen Gong had no intention of dominating one side. Therefore, Chen Gong's idea was to seek refuge with the princes and assist the Ming Dynasty. The territory in the north was Cao Cao's Yanzhou, and further north were Jizhou, Yuan Shao, and Chen Gong.
Chen Gong was extremely disappointed with Cao Cao and had long given up on seeking refuge with Cao Cao. As for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Chen Gong looked down on them and was unwilling to seek refuge with them.
As a result, Liu Bei's figure jumped into Chen Gong's mind.
Although Chen Gong could choose Wang Can, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, or Sun Jian of Jiangdong, these princes were too far away, so Chen Gong planned to defect to Liu Bei because Liu Bei valued him.
Chen Gong thought about it and finally made up his mind.
He shouted out of the hall: "Here comes someone!"
As soon as the voice fell, the servants from the palace walked in.
Chen Gong ordered: "Prepare the carriage and go to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion!" After saying that, the attendant turned around to prepare the carriage, while Chen Gong also went to the backyard to change into official uniform and walked slowly to the mansion.
Since Lu Bu was killed and only orphans and widows were left in the house, it would be inconvenient for Chen Gong to stay in the Prefecture Mufu, so Chen Gong only visited Lu Bu's wives Yan and Cao when there were important matters. This Yan family
She was Lu Bu's first wife, and Cao was the daughter of Cao Bao, a subordinate general under Tao Qian, the former governor of Xuzhou. When Cao Bao welcomed Lu Bu into the city, he fought with Zhang Fei and was killed by Zhang Fei.
Chen Gong got on the carriage and drove quickly to Lu Bu's mansion.
Not long after, Chen Gong arrived at Lu Bu's mansion.
He got off the carriage, and first sent his attendants to knock on the door and notify the attendants of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and then respectfully walked into the mansion. When he entered the hall, Lu Bu's wives Yan and Cao were already waiting for Chen Gong.
Yan is a woman from Xiliang, about thirty years old. Although she is a female generation, she exudes a murderous spirit, which is no weaker than that of men. This is why Yan can be Lu Bu's wife. Cao is about 20
He is young, gentle, pleasant, and showy, giving people a feeling of weakness.
After Chen Gong walked into the hall, he bowed his hands to the two women before sitting down.
Yan asked: "Mr. Chen, what can I do?"
Chen Gong said seriously: "It is related to the survival of Xuzhou, so we have to come."
There was a flash of worry in Yan's eyes. For Chen Gong to act so solemnly, it was obvious that something big had happened.
Yan respected Chen Gong very much. After Lu Bu was killed, all the generals under Lu Bu were also killed, leaving no one under Lu Bu who could take charge of the overall situation. Because of this, Chen Gong easily took over the military and political affairs of Xuzhou.
Although Chen Gong had great power, once he gained power, he still acted as before.
This style made Yan think that Chen Gong was a loyal elder and worthy of trust.
Chen Gong took a deep breath and said: "Yuan Shu sent fifty thousand troops to attack Xuzhou."
After hearing what Chen Gong said, Ms. Cao's body trembled and her eyes showed fear.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan became anxious.
She was a woman, so she could not show her face, could not lead troops to kill the enemy, and she had no children, so she could not take charge of the situation. Now that Yuan Shu came, the Yan family suddenly became anxious. If the princes did not attack, Xuzhou could continue to muddle along.
Things went on like this, but Yuan Shu came to fight, which immediately caused a stir.
Yan asked: "Mr. Chen, what do you think should be done?"
Chen Gong thought for a while and said: "For the current plan, I will exchange the lord's inheritance for stability and invite the princes to resist Yuan Shu."
Yan's delicate body trembled suddenly, her lips tightened, and her eyes showed a sad look. She knew that Xuzhou could not be saved, but after hearing Chen Gong's words, she was still very sad. Yan kept her spirits up and said in a deep voice: "
Everything in Xuzhou is entirely up to my husband. I just hope that he can find a place for us orphans and widowed mothers to settle down and spend the rest of their lives."
Chen Gong cupped his fists and said, "Madam, don't worry, Gong will definitely arrange for the two ladies."
Yan waved her hands and said, "Go!"
Chen Gong got Yan's promise, and his heart settled down. Next, Chen Gong can do what he wants, defeat Yuan Shu, join Liu Bei, and help Liu Bei rise.
