Chapter 833 Chen Gong recognizes the Lord

"The reason why Cao Cao agreed to my request should be for these two reasons." After walking 100 miles to the southwest, Ma Chao and others entered Changyi County, the county seat of Shanyang County. After a rest, the people immediately spontaneously held a military conference.

At the beginning of the military conference, Lv Bu intentionally or unintentionally asked about Ma Chao forcing Cao Cao to exchange hostages. After taking a look at Lv Bu, Ma Chao skillfully returned Lv Bu with a grateful look: the soldier's taboo, the most taboo is that the general is unknown, and the orders are different. Lv Bu had previously admitted that Ma Chao was his lord in front of everyone, but now he endures the pain and took the lead in raising the issue of Ma Chao saving the soldiers, which clearly shows that he is willing to let his subordinates be dispatched by Ma Chao.

However, on the other hand, Ma Chao still felt that Lv Bu's move seemed to be deliberately implying something from Chen Gong. And along the way, Ma Chaoyue felt the strange relationship between Lv Bu and Chen Gong: no matter how they looked at it, they were not like the relationship between the master and the counselor. Even Chen Gongyi, a scribe, even led troops to fight in person? .........

However, before Ma Chao completely figured out the relationship between Lv Bu and Chen Gong, he could only remain silent and watch the change.

"One is that Cao/he can't wait. After seeing Gao Lan withdrawing troops back to Jizhou in advance, his overall strategy has been chaotic, and he must immediately redeploy to deal with Yuan Shao in Jizhou. In addition, the Ma family has captured Yingyang County, which has also forced Cao Cao to be more cautious about the food. Speaking of this, after Ma Chao spread out his personal map and spread it on the military hall, he said meanly, "At present, I'm afraid the two armies are still fighting for food and grass. And Cao Cao's most important soldier, under internal and external troubles, naturally needs to quickly return to Zhencheng to rest and discuss in the long run.

After saying this, Chen Gong stroked his jaw and nodded. Especially when he heard Ma Chao finally talk about 'grain and grass', he sighed helplessly. However, at this time, although his mouth moved, he still didn't say anything in the end.

Ma Chao looked at Chen Gong's look and couldn't guess what Chen Gong was thinking, so he had to continue: "Second, Cao Cao and I are not only princes of both sides, but also qualified politicians. In terms of yin and yang trade-offs, we all know each other well. Today, if Cao Cao does not agree to return the first public soldiers, he will take the best path for politicians.

"Which way?" Hearing Ma Chao talk about the prince's wrist at this time, Lv Bu couldn't help asking: In martial arts, Lv Bu is definitely Ma Chao's predecessor. However, Lv Bu was deeply admired by politicians. What's more, during the Yanzhou period, he really became a leader and was naturally interested in such topics.

And Ma Chao looked at Lv Bu with a smile and did not mind explaining at all: "The last thing among politicians should not go is to leave any room for manoeuvre when they don't see the dagger, forcing the enemy to die!"

Even if it was a far-reaching Chen Gong, he couldn't help but be stunned. Obviously, Ma Chao's rhetoric is a psychological secret that has been realized in the hearts of the princes all the year round but never leaked out. Therefore, Chen Gong couldn't help looking away from the map and looking at Ma Chao, waiting for Ma Chao's next sentence.

"Those captured soldiers are not very useful in Cao Cao's hands, and even waste food and fodder. Cao Cao's only choice is to cut the grass and eradicate it. However, for us, these prisoners are children and relatives, and we need to rely on them to make a comeback. Therefore, instead of choosing to kill and end the way out, Cao Cao prefers to return these soldiers who waste grain and grass to us!"

"Politics is always a game of compromise! Cao Cao and other talented people will definitely not leave room to do things and force him and us to a dead end. Therefore, when smart princes do things, they often leave some room for manoeuvre and will not do things! In this way, even if everyone is deadlocked, they will not immediately hurt both sides and break the net.

After saying this, Ma Chao sighed leisurely and finally returned to the topic and said, "Because Cao Cao and we all know that we need a time to adjust each other. This time, it seems that I was tough to return the prisoner, but in fact, it's just me and Cao Cao each took what they needed..."

"Extremely exquisite!" As soon as the words fell, Chen Gong couldn't help clapping his hands and got up and said to Ma Chao, "General Qiqi didn't reach the year of the weak crown, and he actually made the princes' minds so clear. Even Gong's self-probted that he knew the world well, couldn't help but be convinced. Really, seriously..."

"Public Taiwan, what are you hesitating about today?" Lv Bu looked at Chen Gong's look, smiled at the corners of his mouth and then got up. He patted Chen Gong's shoulder and said, "Lv is not talented and has never been convinced by the public platform. Even if he has cooperated several times, he was defeated by Cao Cao. However, seeing my son-in-law like this today, don't you think that you have finally found your favorite master?

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard Lv Bu's words and couldn't help but be surprised: he had guessed well before! Lv Bu and Chen Gong are really not the main minister relationship as recorded in history!

After careful thought, Ma Chao is even more clear: Zhang Mi, Lv Bu and Chen Gong seem to be dominated by Lv Bu, but in fact they are not all. It was just to form a loose alliance to fight against Cao Cao, and because of Lv Bu's reputation as a great man, the world thought that Chen Gong and Zhang Mi were against Cao Cao, so they helped Lv Bu as the lord of Yanzhou!

But in fact, Fu Lv Bu is the lord of Yanzhou, and it is not necessarily necessary for Zhang Mi and Chen Gong to worship Lv Bu as the lord. In fact, with Zhang Yu's foundation in Yanzhou and the reputation of Chen Gong, the two have basically been using Lv Bu's bravery and prestige as a cover! And Lv Bu made such a big profit out of thin air, and he didn't do it for nothing, which caused the world's misunderstanding.

At present, it seems that the three people are more of an equal cooperative relationship than a subordinate relationship.

Naturally, or later, Chen Gong has been assisting in following Lv Bu, and it is also very telling that Lv Bu is the master after entering Xuzhou. However, at present, this possibility is almost zero.

"This?..." Chen Gong was stunned when he heard Lv Bu's suggestion. After a few changes, he did not respond immediately. When Lv Bu saw this, he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he said further, "What? My son-in-law is young and good-being. He has more than 100,000 Xiliang iron riders under his command, and also controls the three states of Liang, Yong and Si. Under the rule of rich people and healthy, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and also have the feat of being kind-hearted and helping millions of disaster victims. Is it possible that a person with such a deep Confucian heart is not a person who cares about the public Taiwan?!"

Hearing this at this time, Ma Chao couldn't help but look at Lv Bu: It seems that Lv Bu has had an unexpected insight and leap in people and things during this period, which is impressive!

Whether from history books or from the initial impression, Chen Gong and this person are definitely people who advocate Confucianism and benevolence. Their loyalty and uprightness can be called the guardians of Confucianism in this era. In response to this, Lv Bu gently took the power of Ma Chao, and directly mentioned the actions of the people under the Ma family and the relief of disaster victims, which was in line with Chen Gong's Confucianism.

Sure enough, after these words, Chen Gong's face gradually softened and looked at Lv Bu's deep and clear eyes. The heroism in his heart was also aroused, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Feng Xiangong bullied me! ........ Today, first there was a military discussion, then an inquiry, and then a consultation. At this time, these three plans are interlinked. It turns out that they are all for me, Chen Gong to surrender!"

Revealed by Chen Gong, Lv Bu did not care at all. Instead, he laughed with Chen Gong and said, "Public Taiwan is heroic and magnificent. Bu knows that there is no happiness as the main minister, but he retreats and seeks secondly. It is also a blessing to be a minister in the same hall!"

Listening to Lv Bu, Chen Gong also knows that there is no other choice today. After being solemn and condensed, he immediately fell in front of Ma Chao and shouted, "The palace is willing to recognize the cavalry general as the master. Since then, he has been exhausted for the Ma family until his death!"

"Please get up quickly," Ma supernaturally picked up cheaply and sold good deeds with joy. He also straightened his sitting posture and said solemnly, "From today on, my father-in-law will work hard for the Ma family. He can freely appoint his subordinate generals and governor Yanzhou's military and horses. The public platform is the calligrapher of the Ma family's calligraphy province and assists in the strategy of the war in Yanzhou.

Speaking of this, Ma Chao glanced at the fierce eyes of the people in the military hall and got up and said with emotion, "Today, I have been staying in Yanzhou for a few days, but it is necessary to be a big trouble for Cao Cao in Yanzhou!"

"The last general (Weichen) takes the order!"
