Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 513 Cheng Yu Returns
"No, hurry up and enter the city." Seeing the city gate behind Xu Huang gradually close, Liu Bei screamed in alarm. Although Xu Chu and Tai Shici came to kill him later, Liu Bei believed that as long as people like himself entered Xuzhou City, with The foundation that I have laid in Xuzhou over the years can still regain Xuzhou.

"Hmph, with me, Xu Huang, here, how can you be so rampant?" At this time, Xu Huang was fighting and retreating. Although he was retreating, he firmly blocked the three of Liu, Guan and Zhang in front of him, and could not tolerate it. They rushed past them.

Not long after, there was a bang behind him, and the city gate of Xuzhou was completely closed. At this time, Xu Huang's nervous face showed a smile again. Although Xu Huang seemed quite embarrassed to stand against Liu Guanzhang alone, the gate of Xuzhou city was closed at this time , is already a big victory.

"Xu Huang, a certain family is here to help you." Xu Chu shouted loudly at this time, and rushed into the battle group of the crowd, and while the short halberd in his hand was circulating, he took over the power of Zhang Fei's spear.Fight into a group with Zhang Fei.

"Guan Yu, it's not decided between you and me, let's continue to complete the unfinished battle." At the same time, Tai Shici also rushed to Guan Yu and rushed towards Guan Yu.

"Hey, Liu Bei, you are mine now." Seeing Xu Chu and Tai Shici fighting against Zhang Fei and Guan Yu successively, Xu Huang took a few breaths, made some adjustments, smiled slightly at Liu Bei, and said maliciously.

"You two brothers, it's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go." Seeing such a situation, Liu Bei immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking back Xuzhou, and shouted to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.At the same time, he clamped the horse's belly with both feet, and walked to the side. It was obvious that Liu Bei did not intend to continue to spend time here at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom." At this moment, the sound of drums was rolling on the official road in the distance, and the pennant was wriggling. On the first big banner was written the words "Lu, Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty", but it was Lu Bujun who completely repelled Zhang Hebing. The attack is coming towards Xuzhou.

"It's no good that Lu Bu is here, let's go quickly." Seeing this scene, Guan Yu who was on the side narrowed his eyes slightly, screaming in his heart that it's not good, and reminded Zhang Fei who was on the side.

"Damn it, the slaves of the three surnames are so powerful." Although Zhang Fei said so, he didn't dare to fight. He waved his spear at Xu Chu, and then walked away. Soon Liu Guan and Zhang left Xuzhou on horseback, facing Chasing away in the direction of Qingzhou.

After Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he was not in a hurry to attack Qingzhou. Instead, he occupied Xuzhou's counties while rectifying his troops in Xuzhou.

A few days later, when Xuzhou gradually settled down, Lu Bu approached Chen Gong to discuss matters in Xuzhou.

"Gongtai, Liu Bei has been in Xuzhou for many years. He has bought people's hearts and is quite loved by the people. Our army needs a capable person to garrison Xuzhou. I don't know who is more suitable for Gongtai?"

"Prime Minister asks this, does he already have a candidate in mind?" Looking at Lu Bu, Chen Gong asked thoughtfully.

"Hahaha, Gongtai is right. I do have a candidate in my mind, but I don't know what Gongtai thinks of this person." Lu Bu laughed, looked at Chen Gong and said, "Well, why don't we choose Write the candidates you like on your hand, and then show them at the same time to see if the people we have chosen are the same."

"Prime Minister is wise, I also have the same intention." Chen Gong picked up the brush and began to write on his own hand. After writing, he handed the brush to Lu Bu.Lu Bu took the brush and pondered for a while, then started to put it in his hand. After a while, a name appeared on his hand, which was the word "Chen Gong".

"Please take out your palm, sir." After finishing writing, Lu Bu put the brush aside and said to Chen Gong with a smile.

I saw Chen Gong spread his palm slightly in front of Lu Bu, and the word "Chen Gong" appeared in Chen Gong's palm.

"Hahaha, there really is a tacit understanding between you and me." Seeing the handwriting on Chen Gong's palm.Lu Bu also spread out his palm and said to Chen Gong.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness. I will do my best to live up to your kindness." After seeing the handwriting in Lu Bu's palm, Chen Gong hastily saluted Lu Bu deeply.

Chen Gong recommended himself because besides Chen Gong, all the powerful people under Lu Bu already had important responsibilities. Jia Xu was in Sizhou, Xun Yu was in charge of the overall situation in Chang'an, Zhang Liao attacked Wancheng, and he would also be stationed in Wancheng in the future. City, deter Liu Biao.And Gao Shun confronted Yuan Shu in Bingzhou.The only person available was Chen Gong, not to mention Liu Bei's painstaking efforts in Xuzhou. If he wanted to show Xuzhou's situation, he had to be someone with outstanding talents, so Lu Bu thought of Chen Gong, which was a last resort.

"In the future, there will be Mr. Lao in Xuzhou." Lu Bu got up and patted Chen Gong on the shoulder to encourage him.After speaking, Lu Bu looked up at the sky and said, "Xuzhou is near the sea. Are you sure you can build a navy here?"

Hearing Lu Bu's voice, which was almost talking to himself, Chen Gong was in a daze for a while. Although he could understand the word navy, he was very unfamiliar with it. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have been full of the sea and thought about it. Facing the vast and boundless sea, Human beings really feel their own insignificance. Thinking about it carefully, for so many years, the children of China have really little knowledge of the sea, let alone the establishment of a navy. Suddenly, Chen Gong thought of a possibility that Qin Shihuang once Today, let people build a big ship by the sea and go to Penglai to seek immortality. Does Lu Bu also have such an idea?

"Uh, Prime Minister, although the matter of immortality has been widely rumored since ancient times, it is too vague at this time. Please don't waste energy on it." After a while, Chen Gong adjusted his mood slightly and said.

"Hahaha, do you think I asked you to build a navy for the sake of seeking immortality?" Seeing Chen Gong's nervous expression, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Although the big man is vast, the sea is even vaster. If you want to build a navy, you hope that one day, the might of my great Han army will be spread all over the world, so that everyone in the world will feel the prestige of my great man."

"Well, don't worry, Prime Minister, I will try to do it, but the sea is very stormy, not to mention building a navy, but just building a sea-going ship that can sail on the sea, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete in a few years." Although Lu Bu felt that The dream of establishing a navy is a bit militaristic. After all, the construction of a ship costs a lot, let alone a sea-going ship. Although Chen Gong agreed with Lu Bu's proposal, it is obviously a big discount for Lu Bu's proposal. What Lu Bu wanted was to build a navy, but what Chen Gong said was only to build sea-going ships.

"Sir, just do it. I understand the difficulties involved. As long as you can build a ship at sea, you will be a great achievement." After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu laughed at himself. It seemed that he was still too optimistic. With Dahan's shipbuilding level and craftsmanship, building a sea-going ship is already quite a challenging job, not to mention that building a sea-going ship is only a matter of shipbuilding itself, and it also involves the level of craftsmanship of other industries.

"My lord, the Prime Minister, General Zhang Liao has sent a military report that Wancheng has been breached, Cao Ren is nowhere to be found, and Cheng Yu led the crowd to surrender." At this moment, a soldier came in and reported to Lu Bu.

It turned out that when Cao Cao left Wancheng, he left Cao Ren to garrison Wancheng, with Cheng Yu as his assistant.However, when the news of Cao Cao's death reached Wancheng, Wancheng was in chaos. Even though Cao Ren was powerful in the army, he could no longer suppress his subordinates, and countless people fled. In desperation, Cao Ren had to abandon the city. Cao Ren is a member of the Cao family, and has a very close relationship with Cao Cao. Even if he surrendered to Lu Bu, it might not end well. Lu Bu must have killed Cao Cao, so why would he care about killing another Cao Ren, so Cao Ren saw Wancheng Defeat was imminent, and he led his cronies to escape overnight.After Cao Ren escaped, a group of generals of the Cao army carried Cheng Yu out and asked Cheng Yu to take him to surrender. Unlike Cao Ren, although these generals had been under Cao Cao's tent for a long time, they were all ordinary generals. Surrendering to Lv Bu, for them, they will be soldiers and eat food under their hands, not to mention that Lv Bu is powerful, and it is obviously much better to follow Lv Bu than to follow Cao Cao before.

"Oh, it's really good news. Did Zhang Liao send Cheng Yu along with him?" Lu Bu was not surprised when he heard that Wancheng had successfully taken over. It was a matter of course, but Cheng Yu was not an ordinary person. It deserves Lu Bu's attention.

"Master Zhang Liao has already sent someone to bring Mr. Cheng Yu, and he is already outside." The soldier said hastily when he heard Lu Bu ask Cheng Yu.

"Hahaha, that's great. Cheng Yu surrendered to me at the time when the imperial court was employing people. It really is God's help for me. Let's go and have a look at the public platform together." Said Lu Bu and Chen Gong stepped out, came To the courtyard.At this time, I saw two people standing in the courtyard. Obviously, the two were talking to each other. One of them was very familiar to Lu Bu, Guo Jia who had been with Lu Bu these days.But the other person, Lu Bu, was a little strange. This person was of middle height, with a tuft of beard. He was obviously a middle-aged man, but it was Cheng Yu.

"The guilty minister, Cheng Yu, sees the Prime Minister." Seeing Lu Bu approaching, Cheng Yu bowed to Lu Bu and said.

"Hehe, it's Lu Bu's blessing for Mr. Cheng Yu to submit to me. Come here and invite me." Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't feel any pressure because of coming to Lu Bu, Lu Bu understood that Cheng Yu was a sensible person, hehe smiled , Cheng Yu was about to be invited into the house.

"Cheng Yu, Mr. Cao passed away not long ago. Are you doing justice to Mr. Cao by voting for a new owner like this?" Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't seem to have any resistance to contacting Lu Bu, Guo Jia said with some dissatisfaction that the two must have been enemies not long ago.

"Feng Xiao, you are too stubborn. In the past, I did my best for Mr. Cao, and I did not feel sorry for Mr. Cao. Now that Mr. Cao has passed away, why should I vote for the Lord of Ming? Should we follow Duke Cao?" Cheng Yu obviously didn't care about Guo Jia's accusation.

"Duke Cao must have been killed by Lu Bu." Looking at Cheng Yu, Guo Jia suddenly roared.Obviously, he didn't agree with Cheng Yu's calmness.
