The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 161

Xiahou Dun was sleeping soundly, when the guard suddenly reported that it was Chen Gong's visit.

After chasing to Pengcheng to beg for the Qingzhou Army, Xiahou Dun was very upset when he saw Lu Bu pretending to refuse to return him.

Lu Bu said that the Qingzhou Army should go to the coal mine to collect coal, but of course Xiahou Dun refused to believe it.

He stayed in Pengcheng just to see if Lu Bu would do that.

If the Qingzhou Army was sent to collect coal, Lu Bu's previous reputation would likely plummet.

Warriors who have gone through the battlefield have extremely strong pride in their bones.

Letting them do what they should be doing is definitely a serious blow to morale.

Living in Pengcheng for several days, Xiahou Dun did not wait until Lv Bu ordered the Qingzhou Army to go to the coal mine.

He planned to question Lu Bu in two days, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to visit late at night.

I often visit late at night, either because of something important, or because of some shady conspiracy.

Although Xiahou Dun is a fierce general, he has led troops for many years, so he is not a fool.

He sat up and told the guards: "Please, Mr. Chen, go to the side room and have a talk."

After getting up to wash, Xiahou Dun came to the side room, and Chen Gong was already waiting in the room.

"It's already in the middle of the night, Chen Gong paid a sudden visit, do you have something important to say?" Xiahoudun asked Chen Gong after seeing the ceremony.

"To be honest, I just came back from Marquis Wen." Chen Gong said: "Not only is there something urgent, but it is so urgent that we cannot delay it for a moment!"

Xiahou Dun was at a loss.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any important matter, which was worth Chen Gong's late-night visit.

"Duke Cao sent troops to Lujiang, I wonder if General Xiahou heard about it?" Chen Gong asked mysteriously.

In Pengcheng, of course, getting news would not be as convenient as Lu Bu's. Xiahou Dun, who was completely unaware of it, was taken aback: "My lord has used troops to Lujiang?"

"General Li Mancheng defeated the Huainan Army in Yijing, and killed Huainan's fierce general Li Mao." Chen Gong asked again: "Did no one tell the general?"

"I'm in Pengcheng, of course the news came later." Xiahou Dun said angrily, "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to ask such a question?"

"General Xiahou, don't misunderstand, I don't mean to embarrass the general." Chen Gong accompanied him with a smile: "I came here to tell the general the news."

"And then?" Xiahou Dun asked.

He expected that Chen Gong would remind him to return to Cao Cao's side and make meritorious deeds for Cao Cao's crusade against Lujiang.

But Chen Gong didn't say that.

"I just told the general, I have nothing else to say." Chen Gong replied: "It's getting late, don't dare to delay the general's rest!"

The news was sent, but Chen Gong didn't give any advice, Xiahou Dun suddenly felt that something was missing.

He hurriedly asked: "Don't Gongtai think that I should go back to the lord?"

"Whether or not the general will go back depends on his own heart." Chen Gong said, "I don't have any suggestions!"

"Gongtai and I are considered acquaintances, so we can't give up some advice?" Chen Gong's suggestion determined Xiahou Dun's judgment on whether to stay or not, and he did not give up on asking.

After pondering for a while, Chen Gong said: "I want to persuade the general to go back, but I'm afraid of being misunderstood by the general, so it's better not to say anything!"

He cupped his hands again: "General Xiahou, please rest, I will take my leave first!"

"Gongtai stay!" Chen Gong exited the room, and Xiahou Dun chased him out: "Please tell Gongtai clearly, what's the difference between staying and leaving?"

"The general stays here because he wants to watch Marquis Wen send the Qingzhou army to the coal mine." Chen Gong said, "Once the Qingzhou army goes to the coal mine, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be low. Not only Duke Cao can rest assured, but the general will also feel relieved a lot. "

Having been exposed by Chen Gong, Xia Houdun suddenly felt embarrassed.

He smiled unnaturally: "Gongtai really wronged me by saying that."

"Whether I wronged the general is not important, what is important is what the general can wait here? What benefits will he get in the end?" Chen Gong lowered his voice: "To be honest, Marquis Wen actually didn't plan to send the Qingzhou Army to the coal mine , the general has been waiting here for ten years, and he still looks like this."

Xiahou Dun was taken aback: "So I was deceived by Marquis Wen?"

"Of course." Chen Gong said frankly: "How much energy Marquis Wen devoted to the Qingzhou Army, the general must be able to see it. The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army followed Wen Hou, and those who made military achievements will be rewarded. In the battle of Huainan, Many soldiers from humble backgrounds are now corps chiefs, department chiefs and even hundred chiefs. Following the general, will they have a bright future? If the general takes them away forcibly, will they be hated by the soldiers?"

"So what's the point of bearing grudges? Could it be that they dare to rebel?" Xiahou Dun glared: "Whoever dares to complain, I will kill him!"

He then bowed his hands to Chen Gong: "Thank you Gongtai for treating each other with sincerity. I will go to see Marquis Wen tomorrow morning and ask him to return the Qingzhou Army to me!"

Lu Bu didn't intend to let the Qingzhou army go to the coal mine, Xiahou Dun found a reason to ask for it, of course he had to thank Chen Gong.

But Chen Gong smiled coldly: "If General Xiahou really does that, I'm afraid he will never return to Cao Gong's side again."

"Could it be that Lu Fengxian will harm me for Qingzhou Army?" Xiahou Dun frowned.

"How could Marquis Wen harm the general?" Chen Gong said, "He sincerely served Cao Gong, so of course he couldn't murder the people around Cao Gong..."

"Then what else do I have to worry about?" Xiahou Dun said, "In Pengcheng, I won't worry about anyone except him!"

"The general is in Pengcheng, even if you do things again, Marquis Wen will not do anything to you." Chen Gong said: "Not only Marquis Wen, but also generals such as Zilong and Wenyuan."

"Then I'm more at ease!" Xiahou Dun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fortunate that Gongtai informed me, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to wait. Tomorrow morning, I will beg the Qingzhou Army, and I will return to the lord immediately."

"General!" Chen Gong smiled slightly: "I will prepare the coffin for the general, and ask Marquis Wen to arrange a funeral for the general!"

Xiahou Dun was taken aback: "Gongtai just said..."

"What will happen to Marquis Wen and the generals of Xuzhou, but no one can guarantee what will happen to the generals of the Qingzhou Army!" Chen Gong said: "In the past, the soldiers didn't even know why they were alive, but now they finally found their target. , but was broken by the general. Dare I ask the general, will they hold grudges?"

"Could it be that Marquis Lu Wen doesn't care?" Xiahou Dun frowned: "As long as he speaks..."

"The general is too naive!" Chen Gong's smile became brighter and brighter: "Marquis Wen didn't want to return the Qingzhou Army, so he doesn't have to do anything to the general, what do the soldiers want, will he stop it?"

"That's the end of the story, and I don't feel comfortable talking, let's take a step first!" Chen Gong retreated again, ignoring Xiahou Dun who was still stunned, and turned to leave.

Xiahou Dun stood there in a daze, his mind was in a mess like a mess, and he couldn't figure out the relationship for a while.
