Chapter 57 Risking Yourself(1/2)
"So do you have any good solutions to Lu Fengxian?"
However, the most critical point in Chen Chen's plan is that he needs to have a plan that can defeat Lu Bu in the short term, which is not so easy to come up with.
If it was so easy to think of, then Lu Bu would not have been standing still to this day and dominate Chang'an.
But since Chen Chen dared to propose such a plan at this time, he already had a way to provide a guarantee, but now he asked everyone here to mention his ideas. Some things should be made to make everyone feel involved.
As for what Chen Chen’s basic solution is, there is basically no need to think too much about it.
When he asked Yan Ren to go to Chang'an, the most important purpose was not to let him release Liu Bian from Chang'an, but that was just by the way.
After picking up the important old men of the Han Dynasty, navy spies and spies from the sea were planted everywhere in Chang'an City.
Now with the restructuring of Mingqiuwei, Chang'an has become the city with the most concentrated members of the Mingqiuwei Daoshi in the entire Han Dynasty, no doubt about it.
Everyone here was silent for a while, and no one answered Chen Chen's question.
It’s not that they have no way to think of some strategies, but thinking of them does not mean they can take them out. They are also estimating in their minds whether they can achieve their goals with the smallest losses possible if they act in accordance with the strategies they think of.
They all intend to exchange the minimum cost for the greatest benefit.
However, no matter what they thought, Chen Chen was actually the one who made the final decision. After all, he knew the most about the situation in Chang'an. When he sent Yan Ren to Chang'an, the layout and operation of the entire Chang'an were arranged by him personally.
"Although there are strategies, if you want to do it without spending one soldier, there is really no good way."
Xun You looked at the expressions of everyone, understood everyone's thoughts, and spoke to Chen Chen.
In fact, everyone understands Chen Chen's personality. He will talk about the grand strategic direction. It is impossible that there are phased progress obstacles in small links and they will take it out for others to see. Being able to announce his policy basically means that he already has a clear idea.
"If sir is ready, just give me instructions. Don't make us happy."
Zhang Fei opened his mouth and shouted, "He doesn't want to use his brain. Why don't Chen Chen do it? Just do what he says, just do as the teacher said."
To be honest, Zhang Fei liked to use his brains before, but since he followed Chen Chen's ideas completely, he rarely felt the pleasure of being invincible without using his brains. Moreover, this pleasure is not the pleasure of relying on his strength to push hard, but the pleasure of seeing the other party being crushed by his own strategic layout without using his brains.
Later, Zhang Fei also discovered that it was not just Chen Chen, but all these gentlemen were calculating experts. Their plan basically only needed to consider how to better implement it. This happiness made him better understand the importance of a strategist.
This feeling is like, it’s not impossible to lose him, but after you have him, you won’t think about the days without him.
"Okay, okay."
Chen Chen smiled, Zhang Fei's temperament seemed to be getting more and more self-reliant. After all, he had never had any defeat since his debut and was invincible. Moreover, because he was asked to guard Taihang Mountains, Zhang Fei, the white-faced young actor who just debuted, turned into a bold and unrestrained bandit leader now.
Now Zhang Fei is unwilling to take over any tasks related to local management. He and Guan Yu have already taken two different directions.
If Guan Yu began to become a commander in the country, both civil and military, and learned to select and employ people, he could guard one side, reassure one, and lead the army alone and attack independently.
Then Zhang Fei completely turned to the bulldozer-style combat style.
Zhang Fei is now unwilling to increase the number of Taihang Black Cavalry under his command, because once the number increases, the staffing needs to be increased and more management affairs are required. Moreover, if he recruits new recruits or ordinary soldiers, he still thinks it is difficult to manage.
It is better to be more sensible now, my old men who have been bandits and fought against the Xianbei region as bandits.
Now Zhang Fei takes the Taihang Black Cavalry to guard the mountain village near Yecheng, and from time to time he takes the Black Cavalry to the surrounding area to suppress bandits. As long as he is more banditry than the bandits, there is no black Cavalry that he can't eat.
This also caused the bandits who were originally rampant in Jizhou and Youzhou to disappear in just one year, so he recently began to wonder if there were any more fierce bandits in the south.
Chen Chen thought Zhang Fei, who gradually jumped out of character, felt that it was good. If Liu Bei was in charge of his words, Zhang Fei was the sharpest spear in the world, helping Liu Bei's group break through all obstacles.
Even if he had to arrange a partner for Zhang Fei, he was almost an older young man, and he didn't see any girl he was interested in.
Do you want to ask Lao Cao if the little niece of the Xiahou family is born now?
"Although I have dug a hole in this matter before and arranged it, I can't guarantee whether it can be done."
Chen Chen shook his head. Liu Bei had just said two things that he didn't know, and he also said something that Liu Bei didn't know.
"I will go to Chang'an to deal with the matter about Lu Fengxian in person."
Chen Chen had just said this, and everyone present had their faces changed color.
"Sir, you must not. You are entering the tiger's den!"
"Then Lu Fengxian is a rough man, he can do anything!"
For a moment, the sound in the hall was noisy and a little confused, but Liu Bei didn't say anything. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly he was in a daze.
Xun You licked his lips.
"Brother Chen, are you serious?"
"Um."
Chen Chen nodded.
"When I brought the old masters from Chang'an to the academy, I asked Yangming to stay in Chang'an City and placed the most elite subordinates in my hand in every corner of Chang'an City. I have always mastered Chang'an's every move. At that time, I began to prepare these things."
Chen Chen paused for a moment before continuing, but this time he was not talking about the situation in Chang'an.
"Actually, I have to go this time. Letting Lu Fengxian sit until his current position has become our biggest threat, and it is mainly my responsibility."
Although I don’t know what this has to do with Chen Chen, everyone still calmed down and heard from Chen Chen himself.
"When I recommended Xuande Gong to elect Taiyuan, I actually calculated that Bingzhou had a brave man who was the world. After constantly collecting clues to infer, I knew where Lu Fengxian was and that he was indeed the most powerful general in the world that I calculated."
When Chen Chen said this, he glanced at several generals, but they had no objection. After all, they had fought each other and knew how much Lu Bu was. Even if Zhang Fei liked to provoke him in front of Lu Bu, seriously, Zhang Fei himself knew that he was not sure to defeat Lu Bu, and even guaranteed that he would not be defeated by Lu Bu, he needed to think about it.
The dazed Liu Bei also looked up at Chen Chen.
"But at that time I did not talk to Xuande Gong about the existence of Lu Fengxian, because I personally think that Lu Fengxian's character is not so good with Xuande Gong. If I chose to include Lu Fengxian under my command at that time, I was worried that Xuande Guild would not be able to control Lu Fengxian and would be backfired."
Chen Chen also looked at Liu Bei, with apologies in his eyes, because according to his ideas, it was actually a distrust of Liu Bei's ability.
If you treat me with a national hero, I will serve you with a national hero.
This time, Chen Chen was determined to go to Chang'an and help Liu Bei establish a victory in one fell swoop. Although he had made complete preparations, no matter how meticulous the preparation was, he would not have no omissions. He also had to consider the possibility that he could not come back himself, and the matter was exposed and the situation was imprisoned by Lu Bu in Chang'an.
So you must be honest at this time.
"Actually, sir is right."
Before Chen Chen continued to review his problems, Liu Bei suddenly stood up.
"After Lu Fengxian arrived under Dong Zhongying's command, if his power had not become stronger and stronger, Dong Zhongying would have to consider taking him as his family. Otherwise, if Lu Bu's power became louder and he clashed with the Xiliang army under Dong Zhongying's command, then even Dong Zhongying himself would not be able to control the situation and fight internally. That's why Lu Fengxian became Dong Zhongying's son-in-law."
"Under my situation at that time, it was difficult to suppress Lu Fengxian, the tiger, so the gentleman's choice was right at that time. Don't mention this matter again."
Liu Bei sat down, and he got up and said a few words, asking Chen Chen not to force himself to go to Chang'an with this. Even if Liu Bei believed in Ming Qiuwei, his subordinates, he would not want Chen Chen to take risks.
"All right."
"That is, there is a person in Chang'an City that must be persuaded by me personally. This person has a great relationship and can take this person down. Then Lu Fengxian can naturally submit with peace of mind. The firmness of this person's beliefs is only one flaw. In this flaw, I can only be qualified to convince him in the world."
Chen Chen spoke very slowly, but he was very confident. This was one of the rare words he used so confident, which made people have to believe that he could do this.
"Li Wenyou?"
Xun Yu, who had been thinking quietly for a long time, suddenly asked Chen Chen tentatively.
He didn't have too long to come to Liu Bei's group, so he would look at the situation from the perspective of an onlooker. Others would not think that there would be any connection between their own plot against the enemy plot against the enemy.
Chen Chen did not deny it or admit it.
"If you are worried about my safety, there is no need. My official card is here. Although it has rarely been used since we got together with you, if they want to kill me, you have to consider it even if you look at my brand."
Chen Chen was so happy when he talked about this.
"If you are worried that if you lack me and you cannot do some things, then you don't have to worry. The things I am mainly responsible for have been done, and everyone else is responsible for. Now you are the most top-notch literary and martial arts skills among the great man. Even if you lack me, it will be enough to sweep the world."
"I will set off tomorrow, don't worry everyone."
Chen Chen didn't plan to continue to say too much. He hoped to come back to have a meal with everyone after he was finished.
Liu Bei sat next to Chen Chen and whispered a few words.
"Can you not go?"
"No, this success will make Duke Xuande unify the world ten years earlier, and there is a rare opportunity."
"If it is ten years later, you can make sure that you are safe and willing to wait."
"Life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, but I have to give me a chance to prove that I am a hero who is not afraid of death."
“No negotiation.”
"No."
The next morning, Chen Chen disguised himself and left Yecheng together with Yan Ren and Chen Bo.
Liu Bei was waiting for Chen Chen at the city gate early in the morning, and he pretended to see him off.
"I'm preparing wine in the mansion. If the sir comes back, I will stop drunk."
"good."
Two men looked at each other.
In the past, Liu Bei always went out to fight, but Chen Chen sat in the safe place. This time, Chen Chen went out and entered the enemy camp alone.
Liu Bei seemed to see when they just started to work hard for their careers together.
Chen Chen was also alone in Luoyang, fighting for Liu Bei who was in Taiyuan to gain benefits, accumulate intelligence and networks.
Looking at the carriage where Chen Chen was leaving, Liu Bei seemed to see the young man ten years ago. Chen Chen's current figure overlapped with the figure back then. He seemed to see Chen Chen's soul, a calm and interesting soul that has never changed its original intention.
