Chapter 38-Deception, Who Will Win? (New Book, 3/7)
In the tent, Chen Peng looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
"Big brother, Yi De, what do you think of Guo Xun and Liu Wei? Is he a good official?" Chen Peng asked.
Zhang Fei knew that his voice was too loud, and it was not easy to say this, so he shook his head.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and shook his head,""No."
"When I was in Zhuo County, I heard that ever since Guo Xun became the Youzhou Provincial Governor, the lives of the commoners have become even more miserable.”
Chen Peng nodded." That's right. Guo Xun is a corrupt eunuch. All the money he collected was used to bribe the eunuchs in the court.”
"And there's something that big brother and Yi De might know.”
"Guo Xun also has an older brother named Guo Hong. He was once the governor of Liangzhou and was a treacherous person. Once, Duan had made great contributions in quelling the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, but Guo Hong could frame Duan in order to get a share of the pie, causing Duan to be imprisoned.”
"What? There's such a thing?" Zhang Fei widened his eyes.
"That's right." Chen Peng nodded.
"Yun Qing means that Guo Xun and Liu Wei will harm us?”
Obviously, Guan Yu understood what Chen Peng meant and asked.
"Yes!"
Chen Peng spat out one word.
The more enthusiastic Guo Xun was towards them, the more malicious he was.
Guo Xun followed the path of eunuchs, while Chen was a clean and upright scholar. They would never mix together.
During the banquet today, Guo Xun repeatedly raised his glass and praised them. Wasn't he trying to numb them?
Chen Peng didn't believe it.
"Guo Xun doesn't have to do this if he has no ulterior motives. Moreover, if we succeed in suppressing the rebellion, he will have no credit at all. However, if my father and I die, then all the credit will go to Guo Xun and Liu Wei!”Chen Peng said with a frown.
"Dog official!" Zhang Fei roared,"I'll go and get rid of these two dog officials for Second Brother!"”
"Yi De, sit down." Guan Yu pressed his hands together." Since Yunqing has noticed it, he has his own plan. Don't worry!"”
"Don't worry, Yi De." Chen Peng nodded and said,"We can't use force to deal with this kind of villain."”
"Today, I didn't let you chase after Cheng Zhiyuan because I needed to use him to get rid of Guo Xun and Liu Wei!”
"Ah?"
Zhang Fei was stunned.
That's right, Chen Peng wanted to use Cheng Zhiyuan to get rid of Guo Xun and Liu Wei.
When the world was in chaos, he needed a place to settle down.
Now that this piece of land was right in front of him, how could he not fight for it?
If they wanted to take root in Youzhou, Guo Xun and Liu Wei would be stumbling blocks.
Their goal was not only to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but also to kick away Guo Xun and Liu Wei, the two stumbling blocks.
Only in this way could he and his father stay in Youzhou Province in a proper way.
He would become the future Overseer of Youzhou.
"Yunqing, what are you going to do?" Guan Yu looked at Chen Peng and asked.
Chen Peng waved at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then the three of them whispered softly.
After a while, the three of them smiled.
.............
The next morning.
Chen Peng and the others once again climbed up the city wall amidst the hurried sounds of war drums and horns.
Sure enough, the Yellow Turban Army that was defeated yesterday had made a comeback today.
However, Cheng Zhiyuan had learned his lesson today and did not take the initiative to challenge him.
This time, Guo Xun and Liu Wei, who were on top of the city wall, were clearly not as flustered as they were yesterday.
On the city wall, Guo Xun and Liu Wei looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Chen Peng, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and the others were also standing on the city wall and looking down at the Yellow Turban Army.
"Provincial Governor, after my big brother and third brother's probing yesterday, I feel that the Yellow Turban Army is just a motley crew. As long as we attack with all our strength, we can definitely defeat them!”Chen Peng looked at Guo Xun and said.
Other than Chen Xin, the surrounding people, including Liu Wei, all looked at Chen Peng strangely.
Chen Peng's words were no different from being arrogant.
Even if the Yellow Turban Army outside was a motley crew, there were still more than a hundred thousand people. How could it be easy to completely defeat them?
However, Chen Peng's actions at this moment seemed to be nothing more than a young and impetuous person. After yesterday's small victory, he had become muddle-headed.
However, the more Chen Peng behaved like this, the more Guo Xun was happy to see him.
"Haha, as expected, heroes come from the young. It's really a great blessing to be so generous and have a son!”Guo Xun said with a smile.
"Lord Provincial Governor, I will bring my eldest brother and third brother out of the city to challenge them. If we defeat the enemy again, Lord Provincial Governor can lead the entire army to attack and defeat the rebel soldiers outside!”Chen Peng cupped his hands and said to Guo Xun.
"Alright."
Guo Xun nodded in agreement." Nephew Yunqing, it's fine to go. I still have your father and the others behind you. As long as the rebel army is defeated again today, we will lead the army to charge. At that time, we will be able to fight and survive. After that, I will write a letter to the imperial court to ask Nephew Yunqing for merit!”
