Chapter 178 Suspicious Chen Gong
When Boss Cao heard Liu Yao's words, he did not directly reject it, nor did he agree so quickly.
He was thinking about another question.
It seems that these heavenly soldiers are not omnipotent, they also have some shortcomings.
If I encounter this group of heavenly soldiers in the future, can I also use counselors to defeat these heavenly soldiers?
But he just thought about it for a moment and shook his head with some self-deprecation.
"What are you thinking about? I, Cao Mengde, a Han minister for generations, why do I want to fight with these heavenly soldiers?"
Thinking of this, Boss Cao felt that he should send someone to provide support.
We will send troops here tomorrow and we can reach Shouchun in a few days.
I don't expect the heavenly soldiers to capture Shouchun, I just need them to stabilize their morale. After all, when the time comes, I will still need these players to attack the city.
Therefore, Boss Cao decided to send a counselor to take charge.
So, Boss Cao looked for targets in the camp and saw who to send there.
First, he noticed Chen Gong standing behind Lu Bu.
This is an old friend. When he fled Luoyang alone, he met Chen Gong and had a story with him that I have to tell.
But now that he has become Lu Bu's number one confidant, Chen Gong is probably not willing to let him go.
At the same time, Chen Gong also felt the gaze directed by Boss Cao. As good friends who fell in love with each other, Chen Gong understood what Boss Cao was planning with just one glance.
In fact, it was not that Chen Gong was unwilling to go, but that he was worried that once he left, everyone present would definitely eat Lu Bu to death.
Lu Bu is powerful, but his IQ is really low and he trusts people too easily.
None of the people present were good. With a mouth that could talk life into the dead and deceive Lu Bu, it was not easy at all.
Therefore, even if you want to go, you have to take Lu Bu with you!
Thinking of this, Chen Gong was just about to get out of the queue when he saw Boss Cao avert his eyes and look directly at the row of civil servants and generals behind him.
As for the other princes, Boss Cao simply ignored them.
There is no way, with the current combination of civil and military affairs, there is no way not to skip it.
Except for the larger princes who came with their counselors, the other princes only came with some soldiers and generals.
For example, Liu Biao of Jingzhou didn't come himself, but asked Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, to come with his general Su Fei.
Another example is Sun Ce from Jiangdong. Since there was Huang Zu, the enemy who killed his father, he didn't even come to the alliance. He just sent a letter saying that he would raise troops in Jiangdong to respond.
The larger princes, such as Liu Bei, can be said to have a top-notch configuration of generals under their command, but not so much in terms of counselors.
As for Liu Yao, who represents the emperor, Boss Cao is not qualified to command him yet.
Rather than bringing it up and making people annoying, it is better to directly send your own people to take action, so that you can use it easily.
Chen Gong, who had been paying attention to Boss Cao's every move, saw Boss Cao turn his attention to the counselor behind him. He first breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he didn't need to go, but the next second, Chen Gong felt something was wrong.
Boss Cao's character, Chen Gong can be said to be a clean one, a character who cannot afford to be early without benefit.
If there is any benefit, Boss Cao will definitely join. If there is no benefit, let someone else join.
Now it seems that Boss Cao is preparing to use his own people, which means that it is profitable to have people support the Heavenly Soldiers.
So the question is, what is this benefit?
Chen Gong is called "Chi Chi", not that he is stupid, but that Chen Gong has a plan and strategy, but because of his suspicion, he will jump back and forth in his own thoughts.
For example, now, he has overturned his previous ideas.
At first, he felt that Boss Cao wanted to dig a hole for him, so he didn't want to go. But now, he felt that supporting the Heavenly Army was profitable, so he hesitated.
Should you take the initiative to stand up? If you do, you should do it quickly.
Chen Gong was a little hard to make a decision. Watching the time passing by, Boss Cao was about to open his mouth and call his name.
Chen Gong suddenly felt that he had figured it out.
"Damn it, this matter must be snatched, Cao Mengde cannot be allowed to succeed!"
"Supporting the Heavenly Army means supporting His Majesty. Even if there are pitfalls in this matter, it is not a loss if we can gain the favor of the Emperor!"
"Plus, if I take my lord with me, I won't be afraid that Cao Mengde will dig a hole for Zhu Hongzhi!"
Thinking of this, Chen Gong made an instant decision, so he took a step forward and gave Boss Cao a fist.
"Alliance leader, my lord, I am in Chen Palace, and I am willing to follow my lord to Shouchun for rescue."
"Huh?" Boss Cao, who was about to name his counselors, was stunned for a moment.
When I saw Chen Gong's expression just now, he seemed very reluctant. Why did he agree now?
However, I agreed! Originally, Boss Cao’s first choice was Chen Gong, his counselor. Boss Cao planned to let them all stay. Then he made a careful calculation of how he could defeat Yuan Shu cleanly and regain the entire Yangzhou.
.
Isn't this because I fell asleep and hit the pillow? How wonderful!
"Gongtai is willing to go to Shouchun? That's really great. In that case, Gongtai will leave as soon as possible." Boss Cao looked at Chen Gong who stepped forward with a smile on his face.
But Chen Gong felt bad when he saw Boss Cao's smile, because his smile really made Chen Gong think that Boss Cao was plotting against him.
But the problem is, now that he has taken the initiative to stand up, he probably won't be able to go back if he wants to.
In this case, Chen Gong could only bite the bullet and go ahead.
"Alliance leader, I want to say that I will follow my leader to Shouchun." Chen Gong emphasized.
When Boss Cao heard what Chen Gong said, he felt that it made sense. After all, he had given the position of vanguard to Lu Bu before. It was reasonable for him to set off earlier.
"What Gongtai said, I think it's okay. After all, Fengxian is a pioneer and we should go with him."
Lu Bu, who was sitting aside watching the show, stood up excitedly when Boss Cao asked him to come too.
"What Meng De said is very much in line with my wishes. In that case, Bu, let's set off now." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he took Chen Gong out.
At this time, Chen Gong looked confused.
That's wrong, this script is wrong, why did Cao Mengde let Feng Xian leave so easily?
If he wants to dig a hole, shouldn't Fengxian be allowed to stay?
But now that his lord Lu Bu has accepted the order, it is too late to go back on his word. After all, to go back on his word at this time is to directly hand the knife to Cao Mengde's hand and let him kill him.
In fact, we can't blame Chen Gong for being careless. If someone else had given the order, Chen Gong wouldn't be so entangled and jump around repeatedly.
Chen Gong really couldn't trust Cao Mengde's character. After all, the person who shouted out that eternal saying was the person in front of him.
Chen Gong is really worried.
So much so, that even after Chen Gong and Lu Bu had mounted their war horses and set off, he was still wondering why Boss Cao was doing this.
