When Zhang Liao and Gao Shun saw this, they wanted to dissuade him, but they opened their mouths and did not know where to start.
He could only sigh helplessly.
As for Chen Gui and Chen Deng, who had stood up, they secretly looked at each other, a cunning look flashing in their eyes.
"Alright."
"You two continue."
Lu Bu angrily looked away from Chen Gong before turning to the two of them.
Chen Deng shook his head.
"Mister Gongtai is the general's right-hand man, but now because of me and father, we feel deeply guilty.”
"General, please allow us to apologize to Mister Gongtai.”
"After that, I will resign and return to the residence. I will be a free person so as not to ruin the relationship between General and Mister Gongtai.”
"Farewell."
The two of them cupped their hands.
He turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Bu panicked.
However, he trusted the two of them even more.
He really wanted Chen Gong to come back.
Look at what the father and son did, and what about you, Chen Gong?
At this moment.
He was extremely disappointed in Chen Gong.
Although he was talented, he was jealous by nature and had no tolerance for others.
In his opinion, Chen Gong had mocked Chen Deng and Chen Gui because he was jealous of their talents and because they had stolen his limelight.
"You don't need to go, just let him calm down.”
"This…"
Chen Gui and Chen Deng stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with hesitation.
It was this hesitation that made Lu Bu feel completely at ease. He said calmly,""Tell me what we should do next.”
The father and son looked helpless, as if they were reluctantly agreeing to Lu Bu's request.
Chen Deng continued," Back to what happened just now.”
"That Liu Bei only sent 10,000 troops to help Cao Cao attack Yuan Shu and was rewarded by the Left General. It can be seen that Cao Cao will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.”
"Before we attacked Yuan Shu, we advised General to go as well. Firstly, you could gain fame, and secondly, you could report your achievements to the Emperor. Unfortunately, you were stopped by Mister Gongtai.”
"Otherwise, the reward that the general received would not be lower than Liu Bei's.”
Speaking of this, Lu Bu was furious.
He was given the title of General, but he was ranked behind Liu Bei's Left General.
How could he tolerate this?
Moreover, he was unwilling to hand over the seal of Xu Prefecture to Liu Bei, and it was Chen Gong who persuaded him.
Now, it was Cao Cao who made him Xu Prefecture's Overseer, allowing him to rightfully take over Xu Prefecture.
As for offending Yuan Shao because of this, he did not really care.
If Yuan Shao dared to attack him, he would help Cao destroy Yuan Shao.
As long as Yuan Shao wasn't stupid, he definitely wouldn't dare to rashly use troops against him.
Now, the one who was troubling him was Liu Bei.
"I had no choice but to let Liu Bei guard Xiao Pei.”
"Now that I've been conferred the title of the emperor, I have nothing to worry about.”
"Letting Liu Bei guard Xiao Pei is still a problem.”
"How about…"
Lu Bu's eyes turned cold.
Back then, he had taken advantage of the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to swindle Xuzhou from Zhang Fei.
His name was not right, his words were not smooth, and he did not follow etiquette. Therefore, he was criticized by the aristocratic families and the people of Xuzhou.
He was forced by the situation to let Liu Bei guard Xiao Pei to shut up the mouths of the crowd.
But now that he was Xu Prefecture Overseer, there was no need for him to spoil Liu Bei.
Therefore, he had other thoughts in his mind.
"General, do you want to expel Liu Bei?”
Chen Deng asked with a smile.
Lu Bu nodded, but he said with some difficulty,""It's just that I want to capture Liu Bei, but I have no reason to do so.”
"Moreover, Liu Bei is quite famous in Xuzhou. I'm worried that after I use troops against Liu Bei, it will cause dissatisfaction among the gentry and cause chaos in Xuzhou.”
"In addition, Cao Cao seems to think highly of Liu Bei. If I expel Liu Bei, I'm worried that I'll offend Cao Cao.”
"General, please listen to me.”
Chen Deng cupped his hands with a solemn expression and said," Liu Bei is currently stationed in Xiaopei, and he is on the opposite side of Xiapi. If Liu Bei has any other thoughts, whether he defends to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, it will threaten the safety of Xiapi City and be detrimental to the general.”
"Only by taking down Xiao Pei and taking full control of Xu Prefecture can you ensure your own safety.”
"Cao Cao is afraid of General Yu's strength, which is why he wanted to rope General Yu in. The more General Yu Qiang is afraid of Cao Cao, the more he would not dare to offend General Yu.”
"Moreover, with an impregnable Xu Prefecture in the hands of the general, the general will be able to sit on the fishing platform. At that time, Cao Cao will come to rope in the general and have the confidence to negotiate with Cao Cao.”
"Moreover, those who achieve great things don't care about trifles…As long as we can take down Xiao Pei, a few rumors are nothing.”
Chen Deng's words had struck a chord in Lu Bu's heart, instantly dispelling his doubts and worries.
"Alright."
"We will do as you say and send troops to Xiao Pei. After we take Xiao Pei, we will discuss conditions with Cao Cao.”
Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng with excitement and satisfaction.
This person was truly a genius.
All the strategies he made were exactly what he wanted.
Moreover, he was not as rude as Chen Gong.
I must put him in an important position.
If he could achieve great things in the future.
This father and son would definitely be greatly rewarded.
"There's no need to be anxious." Chen Deng shook his head.”
"Why?" Lu Bu asked, puzzled.
"Liu Bei had just helped Cao Cao take Yangzhou and killed the traitor Yuan Shu. He was also conferred the title by the Emperor. If you attack now, wouldn't it be disobeying the Emperor?”
"In my opinion, we should wait until next year at the earliest. At that time, it won't be too late to take Xiao Pei.”
Lu Bu nodded slightly.”
Chen Deng smiled as he cupped his hands and retreated. He exchanged a glance with Chen Gui.
The two of them sneered!
