Chapter 155 Xiahou Dun: Lü Bu Recognizes Me as His Godfather? Then I'll Take the Loss
Yanzhou border
At this moment, Chen Gong did not have the awkward feeling of "the closer I get to my hometown, the more timid I become, and I dare not ask the people I meet".
in contrast.
He only wanted to kill Cao Cao and Su Yu to avenge Zhang Miao!
Having finally calmed the anger that surged from the memories, Chen Gong turned to Xu Si beside him, took his hand, and instructed him:
“Zhenyi, of all the people who survived Meng Zhuo’s side back then, besides a few of his personal guards, only the two of us are left.” (Xu Si, courtesy name Zhenyi)
"Please take good care of yourself while you are infiltrating Dongjun."
"It is important to contact those who are not mentally strong, but if you die too, I, Chen Gongtai, will truly be all alone from now on."
Xu Si burst into tears.
Chen Gong was still alive because Zhang Miao saved him.
Xu Si was originally sent by Chen Gong to Chang'an to contact Dong Zhuo.
Now, under Lü Bu's command, the two have naturally become people bound by fate.
However, Chen Gong, as Lü Bu's strategist, cannot be deployed at will.
Therefore, the task of winning over those ambitious and opportunistic individuals in Yanzhou could only be entrusted to Xu Si.
After bidding farewell to Chen Gong, Xu Si disguised himself and headed towards Dongjun under the cover of night.
Two days later.
Xu Si arrived in Dongjun.
Although his tongue wasn't as eloquent as Chen Gong's.
However, as someone brought up by Chen Gong, Xu Si's abilities are not bad either.
After his persuasion, 90% of the target individuals immediately expressed their willingness to assist Lü Bu in seizing Yan Province.
Although they didn't directly state their opinion on the remaining 10%, the implication was that they hoped Xu Si would raise the price.
Xu Si spared no effort in making grand promises in response.
Those 10% of the target individuals were completely taken aback.
But Xu Si was unaware of this.
Just before he completed his mission and left East County.
All the targets he identified were thoroughly investigated by the intelligence guards.
Xu Si?
In Su Yu's eyes, this was a "human-shaped detector"!
Anyone who comes to Xu Si's attention is immediately arrested; none of them are innocent.
Poor Xu Si had no idea that he had indirectly helped Su Yu eliminate all the potential rebels within Dongjun!
Of course, Su Yu did not send anyone to arrest Xu Si.
The show has just begun.
He wanted to let Xu Si go back.
Otherwise, with Chen Gong's wisdom, he would surely have guessed that Xu Si had already been exposed.
What if they dare not lead troops to raid Yanzhou again?
How could Su Yu then so easily manipulate Lu Bu's army?
……
Seeing Xu Si return safely, Chen Gong was overjoyed and grasped Xu Si's hand, saying:
"Jung-ik, how's the matter going?"
Xu Si immediately patted his chest and answered:
"Don't worry, Gongtai."
"My mission was flawless."
"Once our army reaches the city gates and gains the upper hand, those guys in Dongjun City will raise the flag of rebellion."
Chen Gong wasn't stupid. Hearing Xu Si say that things had gone so smoothly, he couldn't help but frown and say:
"Isn't everything going a little too smoothly?"
"I heard that Su Ziyi did not accompany Cao Mengde on this expedition."
"Could this going so smoothly be a scheme he devised?"
Chen Gong was once bitten by a snake, and now he's afraid of even a rope for ten years.
Xu Si could naturally understand Chen Gong's mindset at this moment.
He immediately added:
"Gongtai, those guys said that Su Ziyi is not in charge of military matters."
"When Cao Mengde was away on campaign, the military power in Yanzhou was uniformly under the control of Xiahou Dun."
"All political power shall be under the control of Xun Yu."
"If you ask me, Su Ziyi isn't doing so well in Cao Cao's camp either."
"He has neither military power nor political power!"
After saying that, Xu Si even gave a vivid and expressive purse of his lips, his eyes full of mockery.
Actually, Xu Si was right.
Xiahou Dun was in charge of military power, while Xun Yu was in charge of political power.
At least that's the case on the surface.
But privately, Cao Cao had already given instructions to everyone.
All decisions shall be made with Su Yu's opinion as the primary consideration.
In other words, Su Yu was the only one with a veto power.
Even Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu had to obey Su Yu's command when necessary.
But don't overthink it.
Cao Cao gave Su Yu this power mainly because of Su Yu's hands-off personality.
If Cao Cao doesn't take the initiative to give him some responsibilities, then Su Yu really won't do anything!
At that time, Su Yu would say, "For military matters, ask Yuan Rang; for political matters, ask Wen Ruo."
Leave me alone! Can't you see I'm getting ready for a nap?
Upon hearing Xu Si's words, Chen Gong thought about it again and realized that it made perfect sense.
The few remaining garrison troops in Yanzhou are now all under Xiahou Dun's command.
If we can find a way to lure Xiahou Dun out of the city and defeat him once, we can demoralize the garrison of Yanzhou.
The rest will definitely be much easier.
Chen Gong was a pragmatist.
Soon, he suggested to Lü Bu to speed up the march, using the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to clear the way, and try to reach the main city of Puyang in Dongjun as soon as possible!
……
Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city.
Although Lü Bu's army only numbered over 20,000.
But with the large quantity of armor they swindled from Yuan Shu, their current appearance is completely transformed.
Along the way, perhaps out of fear of the overwhelming force of Lü Bu's army, or perhaps to concentrate their forces.
Almost all the outlying cities that Lü Bu passed through along the way were abandoned by Cao Cao's army.
Of course, Lü Bu has no time to waste on these outlying cities right now.
Once Puyang is captured, the entire territory of Yanzhou will be his!
However, if the time drags on, and Cao Cao returns to Yanzhou...
It's hard to say who will win or lose.
Therefore, in the eyes of Lü Bu and Chen Gong, this was a race against time.
Their only target is Puyang, the main city of Dongjun!
Looking at the "Xiahou" banner flying high on the city wall, Lü Bu smiled contemptuously.
I've never heard of Xiahou Dun having any impressive achievements.
Perhaps he does have some skill in martial arts.
But in Lü Bu's eyes, almost all the generals under heaven were trash!
Lu Bu raised his halberd and taunted the city wall:
"Xiahou Yuanrang!"
"Do you dare to leave the city and fight me to the death?"
Lu Bu's voice might not be as loud as Zhang Fei's or Xu Chu's, but it still belongs to the category of loud voices.
The soldiers guarding the city wall heard it all clearly.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
The soldiers developed some fear of Lü Bu.
Just then, Xiahou Dun climbed the city wall.
He raised a megaphone, pointed it at the direction where Lü Bu was standing, and shouted angrily:
"Three families wrathful, bah! Three-surname slaves!"
"You ungrateful wretch, how dare you provoke your Grandpa Xiahou?"
"So, what brings you to Puyang?"
"Could it be that you've lost your father and want to recognize your Grandpa Xiahou as your father?"
"Hahaha, come on, come on!"
"Your grandpa Xiahou will suffer a loss and acknowledge you as a bastard."
"When the time comes, remember to treat Mengde as your godfather too!"
"Anyway, he and your Grandpa Xiahou are inseparable, so it's not impossible for you to be his shared son!"
"boom!"
The soldiers on both sides were dumbfounded.
For a while, there was no sound.
Chen Gong used all his strength and called for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to barely hold back Lü Bu, who was already red-faced.
"Traitor Xiahou! I swear to kill you!!!"
Lu Bu glared with his bull-like eyes, his expression one of wanting to devour Xiahou Dun alive.
