A few days later, Chenliu City.

Except for Zhang Yong, the other generals who participated in the Yanzhou War all gathered in the prefect of Chenliu, and they were all respectful.

Civil and military officials were arranged on both sides, as if they were going to court, solemn and dignified.

But in the seat that originally belonged to the prefect Zhang Miao, there was a person sitting upright - Liu He, the current emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The civil and military ministers at the lower station were headed by Guan Yu, but the civil servants were unexpectedly Chen Gong stood first.

However, at this time, Chen Gong had neither joy nor panic, but had a complex and entangled face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the flag will be won, and the battle will be determined by the two states of Yan. Your Majesty will be blessed with great blessings and good fortune, and will be prosperous and healthy!"

The ministers shouted in unison, but only Chen Gong seemed to be absent-minded.

Liu He also saw his wandering in the sky, and asked, "Public Terrace, you have made great contributions to winning this battle. If you hadn't visited Cao's camp at night, I would have been unable to lead it into the jail. How could this situation come about? Now that Zhang Miao is staying in Luoyang as an official, I want to add you to the prefect of Chenliu, but I don't know what you mean?"

The prefect is the lord of a county, with a rank of two thousand stones. His rank and salary are only half a level lower than that of the nine ministers. You should know that even those who followed Liu He since childhood, such as Qian Li, Zhang Long, Su Mao, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, etc., who are now in charge of the prefects, the only difference is that Qian Li and others are the prefects in the important places in the capital.

After surrendering to the court, the only one who could become the prefect was that since Liu He ascended the throne, Xun Chen was the direct descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan, the world's top clan. He was also the brother or uncle of Liu He's confidant Xun Yu and Xun You. What's more, Yunhai County was newly built and Xun Chen was urgently needed, so he was so reused in such an extraordinary way.

This mere Chen Gong was able to enjoy the same treatment as him, which surprised many ministers and generals, especially many of them, who had no idea about the "indestructible" statement that Chen Gong was mentioned by Liu He. They thought about it and could not think of how much contribution Chen Gong would have. Among them, only Guan Yu and Gao Shun looked clear and seemed to have expected it. Even Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan were very puzzled.

Just as everyone's eyes were envious, jealous, or confused, Chen Gong was stunned and did not respond to Liu He's reward.

Guan Yu's eyes opened slightly, and a cold snorted out of his nostrils.

"Hmph, the emperor trusts you so much, and is reasonable, and he should bow down and thank you. How dare you ignore it and be so rude? Don't think that you have the merits of size and dare to be so arrogant. Don't say that it is you Chen Gong, even Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and others. If you dare to treat the emperor like this, Guan will never give up."

After saying that, he took a step, held it with both hands, and tried to grab Chen Gong, and forced him to kneel down.

"Chang Yun stops."

Liu He shouted lightly, and at this time, Chen Gong also woke up from his daze.

Only then did he realize that the atmosphere around him was really awkward, and everyone stared at him with bad eyes, especially Guan Yu's thick and powerful palms, which had reached his approach.

"Caomin should die... Please punish His Majesty..."

Chen Gong immediately fell to the ground.

Liu He waved to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu glared at Chen Gong, and then he walked back unwillingly.

Liu He smiled: "There is no need to rush to apologize to the public office. Did I ever say that I would punish you? I wonder if you are willing to accept the position of Chenliu Prefect?"

Chen Gong was shocked: "Your Majesty, Chen Gong's actions were stopped this time because of his failed bet with Your Majesty. How dare you claim to be a merit? These are all the achievements of Your Majesty's wise and powerful skills, and such rewards are so heavy that the people dare not take responsibility. I just hope that Your Majesty will not blame the people for being Cao Cao's old and can let the people return to their hometown to reunite with their families. Chen Gong thanked them very much."

After saying that, he gave a big gift of a big show of promising to the ground. Seeing this, Guan Yu's expression became a little better.

"Hmph, you know what you know..."

Others were completely confused about the word "bet" mentioned by Chen Gong. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all clueless. They didn't know what bet this strange guy had made with His Majesty secretly, so that they inexplicably led to today's ending.

Liu He's response to Chen Gong was also expected.

"The office is too modest."

He stood up and walked forward, and actually reached out to help Chen Gong up. Guan Yu's face immediately pulled down again.

Chen Gong was flattered: "Caomin is a guilty person. How dare you help Your Majesty support me?"

Liu He looked at him for granted. He held Chen Gong's hand, turned around, and looked at the many ministers and generals.

"Among you, except for Yun Chang and Bo Ping, the others, I'm afraid they don't know why the battle in Yanzhou suddenly happened and why strange phenomena frequently appeared. As for today's situation?"

Everyone lowered their heads and said, "I don't know, I hope Your Majesty will give me a warning."

After saying that, only Deng Yuan said in surprise: "Isn't it because of Zhang Miao's sudden rebellion that Cao Cao suddenly led his troops back and wanted to take back Chenliu?"

Liu He smiled and said, "Ziyang is right. This matter is indeed caused by Zhang Miao's rebellion. However, have you ever thought that Zhang Miao and Cao Cao have known each other for many years and have worked hard and made great contributions under his account. Why did he suddenly rebel and surrender to the court without any warning?"

His question made everyone confused.

"This...is really strange..."

Liu He pointed at Chen Gong at this time: "This matter is the contribution of the public office."

Chen Gong hurriedly said, "How dare the grass people do the troubles of the poor..."

"Hey, there is no need to be too humble in the office." Liu He interrupted him directly.

"You all don't know anything about Chenliu and Zhang Miao, who is cautious and timid, is afraid of things. I have long been trying to persuade him to surrender in secret, so I sent many secret spies to find opportunities in Chenliu."

"When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, I ordered Yuan Qing to go to Xuzhou alone to rescue and ordered Feiying Guard to capture Cao Song as a threat, but actually made a secret plan. After the morning court that day, I secretly left the palace and rushed to Chenliu overnight to meet Zhang Miao in person."

His words shocked the ministers very much.

"What? His Majesty actually took risks alone and went to Cao Cao's territory?"

"This is all incompetent, and I have ordered Your Majesty to take risks in person. I am guilty of you."

Everyone knelt down and apologized, and Liu He smiled indifferently.

"I'll ask you to get up. This matter has nothing to do with you. Let's listen to me."

Everyone stood up again, everyone pricked their ears, and everyone's heart was full of curiosity.

Liu He said, "Zhang Miao was very frightened when he first saw me. But when I asked him to surrender, he hesitated again and again. I made every promise to him and granted titles to him, but he was unable to move forward. This made me very puzzled. Then, after the screen, a burst of laughter came from him, and he followed him out, and it was Mr. Chen Gongtai."

Among the people, a few smart people, who, when they heard this, had already guessed the cause of some things, and a hint of clarity appeared in their faces.

Liu He continued: "After he revealed his identity, I understood everything. Although Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao in his early years, he still did not want to see his reputation and his family be ruined. Therefore, he came to Chenliu because he was worried that Zhang Miao would rebel when he saw something wrong. Zhang Miao thought that Chen Gong was sent by Cao Cao, so he was naturally afraid and dared not agree to me."
