As soon as he finished speaking, the scene changed. Chen Deng cupped his fists and said,"No, Ming Gong must not marry Yuan Shu.”
"Why not?"
Lu Bu frowned.
"Have you forgotten that Yuan Shu promised you 200,000 dans of grain, but he hasn't fulfilled it yet?" Chen Deng said in a clear voice.
How could he trust such a person who didn't keep his word?
The marriage between Ming Gong and Yuan Shu was nothing more than to resist Cao Cao.
But even if Ming Gong sent the gold to Yuzhou, Yuan Shu promised to help Ming Gong on the surface, but he did not provide any convenience in secret.
When Cao Cao's army arrived, Ming Gong could only fight alone and suffer heavy losses.
If that was the case, wouldn't he lose both his daughter and his soldiers?”
"Then what do you think we should do?" Lu Bu asked hurriedly.”
"I thought that we should kill Yuan Shu's envoy and express our loyalty to the Imperial Court.
In this way, you can sit firmly as the master of Xuzhou without spending a single soldier.”
"I have a conflict with Cao Cao. The journey to the capital is fraught with danger.”
Lu Bu asked.
"Lord Ming," Chen Deng said in a clear voice,"I am willing to go to the capital."”
"Good! I hope that you can help me get the position of Xu Prefecture's herdsman."
Lu Bu said.
He had been conferred the title of Xu Prefecture Overseer by himself, so it was naturally not as convincing as the imperial court's conferment.
At this moment, Chu Feng's voice rang out.
"Chen Deng entered Xuchang alone, not to ask for a title for Lu Bu, but to discuss with Cao Cao how to get rid of Lu Bu.
Cao Cao praised Chen Deng's plan and granted him the title of Governor of Guangling, secretly accumulating troops.
After Xu Chang returned to Xu Prefecture, he was promoted and rewarded, but Lu Bu did not receive any benefits. The Xu Prefecture Overseer that he had wanted did not make any moves either, so he was furious.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene changed.
Lu Bu angrily questioned," Chen Yuanlong, I asked you to get me a title. You got promoted, but I got nothing. What's going on?"”
Chen Deng hurriedly bowed and said,"Ming Gong, don't be angry. I met Cao Cao in Xuchang and mentioned Ming Gong's request to Cao Cao. Ming Gong was a ferocious tiger of the present age. If he could not satisfy Ming Gong's request, the tiger would be unstoppable once it was enraged, and its corpse would be buried thousands of miles away.”
Lu Bu accepted the praise without hesitation and asked in a deep voice,""What did Cao Cao say?"
Chen Deng replied," Cao Cao said,'That's not the case. Raising a general is like raising an eagle. Only when you are hungry can you be controlled. If you are full, you will leave him.'”
"This Cao Cao is going too far."
After hearing this, Lu Bu's resentment towards Chen Deng disappeared, but he was still filled with hatred towards Cao Cao.
Seeing that Lu Bu had actually believed Chen Deng's fallacy, everyone was speechless.
"This Lu Bu is really hopelessly stupid.”
Everyone found it hard to believe that such a stupid person could live for so long.
In Luoyang, Marquis Wen's residence, Lu Bu's face turned ashen as he saw this scene. He roared,""Chen Yuan Long, how dare you bully me like this? When I see you in the future, I'll definitely tear you into pieces.”
"How did my son end up like this?" Dong Zhuo sighed in the Prime Minister's residence.”
Li Ru also sighed,"Wen Hou can only be a general, not a master."
If Ru He was here, how could Wen Hou end up like this?
I just don't know where my lord and I are at this time.”
"Let's continue watching. Perhaps we will be able to reveal all of this when the literary talent rankings are up.”
Dong Zhuo said indifferently. He had no doubts about Li Ru being on the rankings.
All these years, it was all thanks to Li Ru's schemes that he was able to become second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. He was very clear about Li Ru's ability.
Not to mention being the best in the world, he was at least much stronger than Guo Tu, Xu You, Chen Gong and the likes.
Since Guo Tu and the others could enter the rankings, Li Ru naturally had no problem.
Li Ru nodded and continued to look at the screen in the sky.
At this moment, Chu Feng's voice sounded again.
"After pacifying Lu Bu, Chen Deng will head to Guangling to take up his post.
During his term of office, Chen Dengming rewarded and punished, re-established the rule of power, and revived the public order of Guangling.
At the same time, he also tried his best to appease the people and develop the economy.
In less than a year, Guangling prefecture had taken on a new look.
The local people admired Chen Deng and supported him. Chen Deng's prestige in Guangling Prefecture had reached its peak.
In order to form elite soldiers and work with Cao Cao to destroy Lu Bu, he used both kindness and power to dissolve the armed forces of Xue Zhou and successfully control an elite army.
In the third year of Jian 'an, Lu Bu rebelled against the imperial court again. Cao Cao sent his general Cao Ren to attack Xuzhou. Lu Bu sent Chen Gong and Zang Ba to resist, but they were unable to resist Cao Cao's attack and retreated to Xiao Pass.
The military situation was urgent, so Lu Bu decided to lead the army to Xiao Pass to provide support. Before he left, he ordered Chen Deng to follow the army and appointed Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, to stay in Xuzhou.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene changed.
In the Chen Residence, Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, said to Chen Deng,"Yuanlong, when you went to the Xu Capital to meet the Duke of Cao, the Duke of Cao entrusted all the matters of Xu Prefecture to you.”
"I never dare to forget. I will act according to the situation."
Father, remember, if Lu Bu is defeated, you and Mi Zhu will guard the city and not let Lu Bu enter.”
"Good!"
Chen Gui nodded, then said with some worry,""Lu Bu's family is in the city. If Lu Bu is worried about his family's safety and leaves a general to guard the city, Mi Zhu and I are no match for him.”
"Leave this matter to me." Chen Deng said after pondering for a moment.”
With that, he left the mansion to meet Lu Bu.
