"Zhang Fujun has tens of thousands of soldiers, fully equipped with armor, and sufficient food and grass." Seeing that Zhang Miao had something, Chen Gong's name for him also changed: "If you can raise an army, you will definitely be able to occupy Dongjun within one month."

"Occupy Dongjun within one month?" Zhang Miao seemed half-believing and half-doubted about Chen Gong's statement: "What should we do if the prefect leads troops to siege the city when the prefect leads his troops to siege the city?"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Gong." Chen Gong seemed to have guessed what Zhang Miao was worried about for a long time, and hurriedly comforted him and said, "Before leaving Dongjun, Gong had gone to lobby for all the county magistrates in the county. Many of them had long been dissatisfied with Cao Aman. If he saw the army sent by the prince, he would definitely raise an army to respond. Even those county magistrates who were unwilling to rebel against Cao Aman would mostly watch the wall and not participate in the confrontation between you."

"Brother!" Zhang Chao said hurriedly at Zhang Miao as soon as Chen Gong finished speaking: "Now Cao Mengde has become a lonely man. If he doesn't take this opportunity to destroy him, it may not be easy to find such an opportunity in the future."

When Zhang Miaogang heard Chen Gong say that Cao Mengde killed Bian Rang and occupied his wife Luan, he was indeed full of righteous indignation. But after a period of thinking, he had become much calmer. Although Cao Mengde's soldiers were not as many as himself, his martial arts included Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, and Cheng Yu, and Man Chong, which was enough to make up for his lack of military strength. Even as Chen Gong said, he convinced the county magistrates under Dongjun that if these people did not come out to drag their backs when they confronted Cao Mengde, it would not be easy to defeat Cao Mengde.

When Chen Gong saw Zhang Miao's hesitant expression, he was also secretly anxious and hurriedly said to him: "Mr., now is a good opportunity. I wonder what you are hesitating about?"

"Public Terminal," Zhang Miao said hesitantly: "Although I have tens of thousands of soldiers, I don't have good generals. If I send troops to attack Cao Mengde, I'm afraid the chance of victory is not high." He saw Chen Gong open his mouth, as if he wanted to introduce something, and quickly raised his hand to interrupt the other party, "Even if the county magistrates of Dongjun did not help each other when I was fighting with Mengde, have you ever thought about it? If Cao Mengde asked for help from other princes, what should I do?"

Hearing the problem Zhang Miao was worried about, Chen Gong smiled faintly and asked, "Mr. Fu, I wonder who do you think Cao Aman will ask for help?"

"Yuan Gonglu now occupies Huainan, with sufficient soldiers and enough food. In addition, a powerful general Lu Bu surrenders to him, so his strength cannot be underestimated." Zhang Miao said with great concern: "If Cao Mengde asked him for help, we might be attacked from both sides."

"Yuan Shu just got the Huainan land and it takes time to consolidate it. And Lu Buxin surrendered soon, and I am afraid he will not do his best to serve him." Chen Gong said confidently: "The Gong believes that Cao Aman will never ask Yuan Shu for help. As for Yuan Benchu, now he is hiding in Bohai County, and he is in panic all day long, and it is even more impossible to send troops to rescue Cao Aman."

"What about Anyang Marquis?" Zhang Miao's impulsive force had passed at this moment. He was unwilling to be an enemy of Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart, so he tried every means to find reasons to evade Chen Gong: "If Meng De asked him for help, do you think he would stand by and watch? You must know that when Dongjun was short of food, he personally escorted the food and grass to Dongjun."

Chen Gong was a smart man. He saw the other party's hesitation from Zhang Miao's tone. He smiled bitterly and said to him: "Mr. Mansion, if you are worried about Anyang Hou, the palace is willing to go to Yecheng for your envoy to visit Anyang Hou and ask him to send troops with you to attack Cao Aman."

"This is not very appropriate." Hearing Chen Gong's proposal to form an alliance with Han Zhan, Zhang Miao became more and more timid. He said with great concern: "The Gongtai should know that Han Fu, the father of Anyang Hou, died in Chenliu. At that time, the Marquis of Anyang was still the order of the State under Yuan Benchu. After hearing the bad news, he immediately raised an army to retaliate against Yuan and regained his family's foundation in Jizhou. I think he must have been resentful of the death of Han Fujun. Now that I send someone to form an alliance with him, he will definitely be rejected by him."

"It's time and time," Chen Gong held back the disappointment in his heart and said to Zhang Miao: "As far as the palace knows, Anyang Hou is a magnanimous person. As long as you are willing to form an alliance with him, he will not care about some of the grievances in the past."

"Is it not right," Zhang Miao waved his hands desperately and said firmly: "This matter is of great importance and needs long-term planning." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at his younger brother Zhang Chao, "It's getting late, you can send the office to rest."

"Where to send it?" Seeing that his brother was a little capricious, Zhang Chao was also filled with disappointment. He asked casually: "Are you still sending it back to the prison?"

"The Gongtai is my distinguished guest, how can he be allowed to stay in prison?" Zhang Miao pretended to behave for a while and said to Zhang Chao: "Let him rest in your mansion tonight."

Chen Gong knew that his behavior of persuading Zhang Miao failed, and there was no difference for him where he lived tonight. Seeing that Zhang Chao was about to go out, he clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Miao, and followed him out.

When the two came outside, Zhang Chao apologized to Chen Gong: "Public platform, I really didn't expect my brother to be so undecided. I will come to persuade him tomorrow, maybe he will change his mind."

"No need." Chen Gong knew that Zhang Miao could not make up his mind to turn against Cao Cao at all, so he rejected Zhang Chao's kindness: "Brother Ling seems that he does not intend to turn against Cao Aman. Even if you persuade him, he will not be able to change his mind. In the future, when Cao Aman leads his army south, it will be too late to regret it."

When Zhang Chao learned that Cao Mengde might send troops to Chen Liu, he was a little confused and asked Chen Gong: "Public Terrace, if Cao Mengde really sent troops, how should we deal with it?"

"Unless you start first, you can only sit and wait for death." Chen Gong said this, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that I missed this great opportunity in vain, it's a pity!"

"Come here!" Zhang Chao called a follower and told him: "I want to see my brother. You should take Mr. Gongtai back to my mansion to rest."

Chen Gong knew that Zhang Chao wanted to go back and persuade Zhang Miao again, but he did not stop him. Although the chance of success was not high, there was at least a glimmer of hope, so he did not dissuade Zhang Chao, but bowed to the other party and followed his entourage to leave the prefect's mansion.
