Lu Dynasty

Chapter 416
When Cao heard Cheng Yu recommending Chen Qun, he said with a smile; "Zhongde is true, since you know that Yingchuan Chen Qun is a great talent, why didn't you invite him earlier? You must ask me! How do you know that Lu Feng once Visited Chen Qun but came back disappointed?" Cao thought I had only recently visited Chen Qun!If I show off in his territory, but he doesn't know, then Cao's intelligence department will be in trouble!
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "My lord, I know that Lu Feng's visit to Chen Qun was also because of an old friend. My old friend's surname is Zhuge, his first name is Gui, and his name is Jungong. He was originally the governor of Mount Tai in Xuzhou. I, Lu Feng, once went to Xuzhou to visit him, and asked him about Chen Deng and Chen Qun. Although Lu Feng covered it up very well at the time, Brother Zhuge saw that his words were insincere. Jun Gong thought Lu Feng If there is any difficulty that I can't tell others, I don't ask again. This matter was also revealed to me by accident at a banquet by Jun Gong."

"Oh! When did that happen? Shouldn't you invite your old friend to come and tell me?" Cao was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Yu's friend who was an official, but he didn't invite him to work for him.

"My lord, please don't come! My old friend died of illness in the third year of Chuping. I wanted to take care of his three children. I didn't want them to be killed by their uncle Zhuge Xuan before you attacked Xuzhou." I'm taking you to Jingzhou." Cheng Yu knew what Cao was thinking and told the truth.

Cao knew that he had misunderstood Cheng Yu, and quickly made a sorry expression to Cheng Yu. After all, Cao's subordinates were not as loyal as Cheng Yu.And Cheng Yu even changed his name for Cao.Cheng Yu was originally called Cheng Li, but later Cheng Yu met Cao and dreamed that he was standing next to a sun, so he changed his name to Cheng Yu.Cao laughed and said, "Since we can't invite you, please ask Zhong De to tell you what your old friend told you!"

"It's been a long time since Lu Feng visited Zhuge Gui!" Cheng Yu thought about it carefully and said, "At that time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion hadn't started yet, and although there were many bandits everywhere, Lu Feng led Lu Bu with such outstanding martial arts skills. His younger brother is naturally fearless. According to Jun Gong, Lu Feng was still traveling in the Central Plains at that time. At that time, he brought four generals, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, with him. After meeting Jun Gong, Lu Feng strongly demanded to see him Jun Gong's son, Jun Gong hugged his eldest son Zhuge Jin out of desperation. Lu Feng actually said that Zhuge Jin was a talent for the prime minister. Later, Jun Gong took out his second son Zhuge Liang. Lu Feng said Zhuge Liang was a talent for helping the world This made Zhuge Gui feel very funny, because at that time Jun Gong's two sons were only six or seven years old, and the youngest was only two or three years old. Before Lu Feng left, he asked Jun Gong about Chen Deng and Chen Qun. Gong told Lu Feng that Chen Qun and his father Chen Ji had moved, and Chen Deng and Chen Gui had gone to visit friends. Lu Feng was very disappointed. The son was taken away, and he said he had the talent of a general, and he seemed to be called Zang Ba!"

Cao thought about it carefully. In his memory, I did not have a strong general named Zang Ba under my command.Cao secretly laughed in his heart: Could it be that Lu Feng is really a general when he says he is a general?I'm a little silly!In fact, Cao didn't know, he was going to hear about Zang Ba soon.Jiang Ji thought for a while and said, "Zang Ba, could it be Lu Feng's new general of Liangzhou?"

"What is the official position of General Liangzhou?" Cao had never heard of a general named after a place.The formally compiled generals all start with front, back, left, right, or town, southeast, northwest.Others such as General Huwei and General Yangwei sound very mighty, but they are actually generals with miscellaneous names, and their official positions are not great.

Jiang Ji said: "According to reliable news, Lu Feng deprived the local governors and prefects of their rights, leaving them only the right to supervise the people and handle government affairs. The local army is headed by the local general, who is directly responsible to the general and the Minister of Defense. The general of Liangzhou is the highest military officer in Liangzhou. The general of Bingzhou appointed by Lu Feng is Li Jue, the deputy general is Guo Si, and the general of Sizhou is Huang Zhong!"

Needless to say, Li Jue and Guo Si, they were the generals under Dong Zhuo's command, and they were more than enough to be the generals of a state.As for Huang Zhong, Cao also knew about it.When the Hulao was closed, Huang Zhong and I were the same as the grass shooter, and Cao had also seen it.Cao Jing said: "None of Lu Feng's righteous brothers became generals of Shangzhou, but this Zang Ba managed the military affairs of a state, it must be extraordinary."

"That's not true. Lu Feng didn't arrange for his righteous brother to be the general of the state because his righteous brother had his hands on the main road of Sili! Zhao Yun was guarding Wancheng, Guan Yu was guarding Hulao, and Zhang Fei was in the middle to support him. Lu Bu said The general guards Sili! However, since Zang Ba can sit in the position of General Liangzhou, he should have some skills, at least not worse than Li Jue and Guo Si!" Jiang Ji roughly arranged my arrangements in various places. Explained with Cao.As for the internal arrangements of the imperial court, Jiang Ji didn't find out anything.

"Lu Feng's ability to observe people is indeed very outstanding. He said that the two sons of the Zhuge family are outstanding people, so you can find out where the Zhuge family moved. If you find them, bring them to me immediately. Come to Xuchang! Zhuge Liang should not be very old now, you should try your best to find Zhuge Jin first! Lu Feng said that Zhuge Jin is a prime minister, so it must not be too bad! Since Zhong De said that they moved to Jingzhou, you should send people first Sneak into Jingzhou to search!" Cao touched his chin and said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, do you know where that Chen Qun is now? Let's go and visit him quickly. If he knows Lu Feng's order to seek talents and goes to join Lu Feng again, Then it's too late to regret it!"

"Don't worry, my lord, Chen Qun will definitely not go to Lu Feng! As far as Lu Feng's attitude towards the family is concerned, Chen Ji, Chen Qun's father, will not agree to his going. The Chen family is also a well-known family in Yingchuan! And now Chen Qun is in Yingchuan. , the lord wants to find him, and he will be here anytime, so don’t worry!” Cheng Yu said in a high-sounding manner, but he was actually thinking in his heart: The Chen family can run away, and the monks can’t escape the temple, unless the Chen family in Yingchuan migrates collectively, otherwise Chen Qun dares to leave the temple. If he doesn't come to assist Cao, he will kill Chen Qun's family!But is mass migration that easy?

Seeing Cheng Yu's fierce eyes, Cao didn't know what he was thinking.Cao was very satisfied with Cheng Yu, he said with a smile: "With Zhongde as a guarantee, how can I not believe it? However, since we are inviting talents, we must have some sincerity!" Cheng Yu knew that Cao wanted to give Chen Qun a favor. Impressions, you can't force others to come.As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, if Chen Qun also comes to Cao Ying without saying a word, then Cao Ke will suffer a lot!
