"Now, we have no food to hold on inside and no reinforcements from outside. Once the army of thieves comes to attack us and Liu Bei and Chen Deng encircle us, we will be in danger."

Chen Gong's words made all the generals in the hall look unhappy.

Lu Bu sat on the big tiger-skin chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the faces of the generals, and feeling annoyed in his heart.

'I was actually deceived by the two thieves of the Chen family. Not only did they give up Xuzhou, but they also stabbed me in the back. They lost their troops and fled back to Xiapi in embarrassment. Now there is only an isolated city left to defend. Once it is surrounded, no one else can

It is said that it is a struggle for the world, but it is difficult to even keep his wife and children.'

The most uncomfortable thing in Lu Bu's heart was that he knew clearly that this old guy was flirting with Yuan Shu and the others, but he couldn't touch him.

Not long ago, Chen Gong also teamed up with Hao Meng, one of the eight strong generals, to secretly plot a rebellion and planned to sacrifice himself to Yuan Shu to vent his anger.

Although Hao Meng was killed and it was not investigated whether Chen Gong had a hand in it, there was still a thorn in his heart.

It's uncomfortable, but you still have to use it.

Especially when Xiapi is in danger.

There are no resourceful people in the camp at this time. If you want to get out of the predicament, you have to work with an old man to come up with suggestions.

After all, no matter what, Chen Gong would not surrender to Cao Cao. The two sides were incompatible with each other and had old grudges. He could only choose to assist him with all his heart.

Looking at Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Cao Xing and others standing silently on both sides, Lu Bu sighed in his heart, knowing that these people saw that there was little chance of victory and were a little discouraged, so they did not want to speak.

He sighed secretly, squeezed out a smile and said: "If you have any clever ideas from Gongtai to break this situation, I hope you can give me some advice."

"The thieves are so powerful that it is difficult for us to be independent. Even if the general can hold Xiapi for a while, how can he hold it for a long time?

Now that Xuzhou has been lost, Xiapi is an isolated city that cannot supply the army with food for three months. It is not a place where we can settle down and live. If we want to win this battle, we will have to call in reinforcements."

Chen Gong said softly.

He is a world-famous scholar and civil servant, and he is qualified to speak so unhurriedly. If you win or lose, I will pack up my clothes and join Yuan Shu at worst.

Although the chaos in the army is dangerous, it is still possible to sneak away.

When I followed Lu Bu that day, I just thought that this man was a good sword. If used well, it could stir up troubles in the world. If it was really inappropriate to use it, just throw it away.

At this critical situation, all the generals in the tent were anxious, but Chen Gong was not anxious.

He has a way out.

"I wonder, where are the reinforcements coming from?" Lu Bu leaned forward, with worry between his brows.

"Yuan Jiujiu, this person is my lord's natural ally. He formed an alliance against Yuan Benzhu and Cao Cao's forces. If we unite, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will harm both. Some time ago, Yuan Jiujiu asked someone to marry his legitimate son. My lord agreed, but he was deceived by the old thief Chen Hanyu.

Not only did he regret the marriage, but he also beheaded the envoy and went back on his word, thus causing disaster, alas..."

"Now that the matter has come to this, Yuan Jiujiu doesn't seem to be a broad-minded person, so how can he ignore his past grievances and send troops to help?"

When Lu Bu heard that he was asking for help from Yuan Shu, he felt very disgusted.

This guy has already proclaimed himself emperor. He has clearly become the vanguard of the rebellion. If you join forces with him, you don't want this reputation anymore.

Another one, he heard about it.

Yuan Shu's son is really incompetent. He spends all his time messing around with women. He is a playboy who cannot be accomplished in literature or military affairs.

Let his daughter get married to his family, and it would be hard to talk to his wife.

Not to mention, my daughter herself is not willing.

Chen Gong shook his head and laughed: "For the sake of the great cause of the world, my lord is reluctant to part with a daughter? Yuan Gongdao is the most honorable person. As long as he sends his daughter over and uses humble words and courtesy to apologize for the past, he will be able to expose the murder of the envoy. Even so.

He still has a lot of resentment in his heart, and thinking about the current situation where everyone loses everything, as long as there is a step to get down, he will send troops to rescue him."

The old man seemed to be talking about the military affairs of another family: "If the lord does not want it, then I will die with you without mentioning it."

call out……

All the generals in the palace took a deep breath.

He frowned and looked at Chen Gong.

Although they sounded very dissatisfied, his depressing words made people want to beat him three hundred times.

But I have to admit that the strategy is indeed very good.

Sacrifice a little woman in exchange for a large army to rescue...

As long as Yuan Shu sends troops and is attacked from both front and rear, Cao's army will be exhausted and unable to fight for a long time, so they will definitely have to retreat.

The remaining two people, Chen Deng and his son, can be destroyed with just one move.

As for Liu Bei, he was good at sneaking around and never fought hard.

When the time comes, just scare him and drive him away.

Wouldn't Xuzhou still fall into the hands of himself and others?

At the thought of this, the generals in the hall breathed a little faster, and some people couldn't help but look at Lu Bu to see how he would answer.

"Let me think carefully."

Lu Bu sat up straight, his face as heavy as water, and it took him a long time to say a word.

He waved his hand to let the generals retreat.

Chen Gong shook his folding fan with a faint smile on his lips.

He knew that this plan was done.

Although Lu Bu did not express his position in person, he actually relented...

He is such a face-saving person, but when he really sees the benefits, he moves faster than anyone else.

'Fengxian, Fengxian, this is for your own good. If this place is defeated, all the generals will survive, but you will not. You can only think about surrender in your mind. I really think that others will survive.

Can I have you? Who doesn’t know the names of the slaves with the third surname? Who dares to keep you by my side?'

After walking out of the palace, Chen Gong shook his head.

Unless he had to, he really didn't want to continue changing his family.

People who leave their hometowns are humble. Now that they have left their hometowns, their former teachers, classmates, and hometown party friends have all been killed by Cao thieves.

The Yanzhou nobles wished they could eat the flesh of Cao's thief and gnaw on his bones...

As long as the Cao thieves are defeated and driven out of Yanzhou, it won't matter even if he is judged as two-faced by the world.

It is true that Lu Bu is not worthy of much use.

…

"I won't marry. I sell my daughter for glory. I want to marry you."

Lu Qiling was already furious.

Last time, I married myself off like a commodity, and even though I was chased back halfway, this approach was really chilling.

I think back then, I protected my mother and two sisters, led a hundred soldiers, fought all the way out of the capital, and traveled thousands of miles to defect. If I had been a man, I would have commanded the army and become a general, and become famous all over the world.

However, just because she is a girl, she must get married and be treated like a tool to the little-known idiot of the Yuan family.

Fortunately, last time, it was a marriage between the two parties on an equal footing. Although the marriage was not done well, she was still married as the daughter of a prince, and her status was guaranteed.

But now, what are you doing?

To apologize, please come to your door?

Is this a daughter-in-law? Or a daughter-in-law?

If I go there, I'm afraid I can only become a concubine.

"How do you speak so arrogantly?"

Lu Bu's face turned red with anger. His daughter was disobedient. What could he do? Could he pick up Fang Tian's painted halberd and kill someone directly?

After all these years, I have a baby girl who I hold in my hand for fear of falling and hold in my mouth for fear of melting.

I thought, whoever wants to marry off his daughter can’t do it.

However, when the daughter grows up and is about to reach adulthood, she will always get married.

Looking at the young talents in the world, there are really not many who are worthy of my own daughter.

Although Yuan Gongli was not a very good person, he was from a good family background. He was the fourth generation of the Third Duke, and marrying his son, speaking of it, he was actually the one who got the upper hand.

As for selling a daughter for glory in exchange for reinforcements, Lu Bu would never admit it.

I just thought that it would not be unacceptable for both parties to form an alliance to fight against Cao's thieves, and to speak out and marry a daughter.

As for Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor and being suspected of being a traitor, whether he will be attacked by the princes of the world is a matter for the future.

Don't think about it for now.

Let’s get through the immediate disaster first and then talk about it.

If there is no present, where can the future come from?

Lu Bu understood this very clearly.

"Give me five hundred horses and wait for me to go into battle to capture Cao's thieves. Wouldn't it be better than being trapped in an isolated city like this and making people laugh at you?"
