Cao Bao took the initiative to open the city and ask for surrender, which made Lu Bu, who successfully captured Xuzhou, highly praised him and looked at him with a different eye.

Later, after Chen Gong's guidance, Lu Buna married Cao Bao's daughter as his concubine, and since then he completely took Cao Bao for his own use, included him as a confidant general, and entrusted him with important tasks.

However, marrying Cao Bao's daughter as a concubine was a killing kill. Lu Bu won a delicate and charming beauty, and also gained Cao Bao's loyal support and benefited a lot.

It was the end of April of the third year of Jian'an. On this day, Lu Bu was lying on the throne of the governor as usual, hugging and playing with the beauty while watching the graceful dance postures of the dancers in the hall with drunken eyes. It was really that everyone was drunk without drunkenness, and everyone was confused by their own beauty, and they were free and comfortable, which made others envious!

Just as Lu Bu's cheeks were flushed and he was slightly drunk, military advisor Chen Gong rushed into the lobby in a hurry. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he shouted loudly: "Fengxian, Fengxian, Luoyang envoy sent a secret letter, and there is something important to discuss!"

"Oh?" Hearing that someone called out his font size in public, Lu Bu frowned slightly, his drunken eyes suddenly opened, and anger appeared in his eyes. When he saw that the person coming was Chen Gong again, he shook his head helplessly, then his body shook and fell back into the beauty's arms.

"Go, go, you all retreat!" Chen Gong, who was strode into the lobby, waved his dancer back with disgust, walked directly to the upper stairs, and then ordered the two pretty beauties who were nestled beside Lu Bu to leave quickly.

Chen Gong had done such actions many times. All the entourages, maids and servants in the entire provincial governor's mansion were in great respect for him. Among them, Lu Bulu Fengxian, who was sitting in the main seat.

Once, Lu Bu was respectful to Chen Gong, obeyed his words, respected Chen Gong as his teacher and father. Chen Gong often expressed his fate to him and had a high attitude. That was because Lu Bu was in a desperate situation at that time, and was in a difficult situation. If Chen Gong had no choice but to make any suggestions and tried every means to find a way out, there would be no Lu Bu today. Even when Yanzhou was in a fall and was recaptured by Cao Cao, Lu Bu was already in a different position. When he was the most difficult and helpless, Chen Gong followed him unyieldingly. Plan everything for him, encourage him not to be defeated by the setbacks in front of him, and to cheer him up, and one day he would be able to make a comeback.

Facts proved that Chen Gong had a very strategic vision, extraordinary strategy and extraordinary courage. After the defeat in Yanzhou, he suggested that Lu Bu lead his troops to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, and temporarily fall in love with others. Once the time is ripe, he can make a comeback. After living in Xuzhou for only half a year, the opportunity came. Chen Gong promptly reminded him in time to lead his troops to attack Xuzhou, seize Liu Bei's foundation, turn it over and take over. He led the six counties of Xuzhou.

Time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye. Now, Lu Bu has firmly taken the position of Xuzhou Governor, his foundation is becoming increasingly stable, his troops are growing day by day, and his strength is becoming increasingly stronger. Therefore, Lu Bu has long regained his confidence and returned to the once fearless Bingzhou Hu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth. He believes that he is not afraid of any princes in the world, and has the confidence and strength to face all invading enemies.

Therefore, Lu Bu has changed, becoming extremely confident, arrogant and rebellious, and is not bound by anyone at all. However, Chen Gong, a military advisor who has always been relied on, has not changed at all. He has his former personality and temper, and his previous style of doing things. He likes to make decisions for him in advance, and then directly instructs Lu Bu to execute according to his words.

Lu Bu was really fed up with this kind of scene of asking for help. So many times he wanted to scold Chen Gong severely, and even gave him some color to let him know what the etiquette of the main minister and what the superiors and subordinates are, and let him learn the way to be a minister. However, whenever Lu Bu was angry, he could not help but think of Chen Gong's guidance in his ears when he was in trouble, and he taught him earnestly, and he always believed that sooner or later, Lu Bu could make a comeback and reappear the glory of the past. Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel soft, endured it again and again, and did not blame Chen Gong. However, he did not give Chen Gong a good face, and the anger on his face was not concealed at all, just hoping that Chen Gong could reflect on himself and become enlightened, so as to get rid of these bad habits of not distinguishing between primary and secondary.

Unfortunately, after two years, Chen Gong still had the same straightforward temper, and he still called him the name without any big or small, which made Lu Bu lose face and was secretly angry.

As the saying goes: this time and another time. In the two years since the introduction of Xuzhou, Lu Bu has long been different from the past. But Chen Gong has not changed at all, and his style of conduct is the same as before. Faced with such a situation, what should Lu Bu feel and how can he have face?

This is the same today. As soon as Chen Gong came, he drove out the dancer in the hall and the two beautiful girls who served Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu's face turned pale and was very annoyed.

"What's the point of the public office here?" Lying on the wide soft seat, Lu Bu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, his face was covered with clouds, showing that he didn't like Chen Gong very much, but because of his past love, he just endured it.

After pondering for a while, without waiting for Chen Gong to answer, Lu Bu continued, "If there is nothing wrong, the Gongtai will drink and watch dance here; if there is no such elegant pleasure, please give yourself."

Perhaps he was used to seeing Lu Bu talking with a stern face, Chen Gong didn't care about the anger on Lu Bu's face, and seemed to ignore it. After hearing this, he said to himself: "Where is Fengxian? When is it now? Why do you still have the heart to drink and have fun?" As soon as he spoke, Chen Gong started preaching again. So he put all the important things he came here aside and nagged in Lu Bu's ear, which was the same before.

"Now, there are wars in all the states of the Central Plains, and the princes of the towns are preparing for war, trying to divide the territory of the Yuan brothers. On the battlefield in Hebei, Cao Cao of Yanzhou captured Qingzhou in less than half a year, and his strength has increased greatly; coupled with the embarrassment of the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao of Jizhou is at the end of his journey and cannot last long. On the battlefield in Huainan, Sun Ce of Jiangdong successively occupied the four counties of Jiangdong, and now occupied most of the Lujiang River. In just two or three years, he developed into a vassal force that cannot be ignored. At present, Liu Biao of Jingzhou withdraws troops to suppress the rebellion, but Yuan Shu in Huainan is already weak, and his strength is not as good as before. The day of destruction is not far away."

After a brief speech, Chen Gong drew a grand blueprint for Lu Bu: "At this time of chaos in the world, it is a great opportunity for my Xuzhou to take the opportunity to expand its territory and strengthen its strength. If we send troops north, we can join the alliance against Yuan and join forces with Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Xiliang Army to attack Yuan Shao in Jizhou. After the war, even if we cannot get the city and cannot expand the territory, we can still obtain a lot of money, grain and supplies; after all, Jizhou is one of the most prosperous prefectures in the world. Such beautiful things are not available at any time, so how can we miss it?

Let’s take a step back and say that if we send troops to attack Yuan Shu in Huainan, we will make greater profits. Joining with Sun Ce in Jiangdong and attack Yuan Shu in front and back, we will definitely win. If the war goes well, we will take Yuan Shu’s old nest Shouchun; if the war is not going well, we can also take Yuzhou, expand our territory, and strengthen our strength. Such a thing that can kill two birds with one stone is really hard to come by, and we must not miss it. We must not lose the opportunity and never come again!"

Listening to Chen Gong chatting in his ears for a long time, Lu Bu slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked at Chen Gong with a disinterested expression, silent. After a while, just as Chen Gong thought he nodded and agreed, Lu Bu suddenly said: "I have a covenant with Yuan Shu and I have submitted a letter to me last year. How can I go back on my word, betray my faith, and turn against each other? Such actions will make me Lu Bu feel unkind and unrighteous, and how will the world see me?" Lu Bu said this with a striking and righteous manner, as if he was a rare gentleman in the world, with such a noble reputation.

But he didn't know how disdain Chen Gong was after hearing this, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was sneering. To this day, Lu Bu dared to talk about Xinyi with confidence and began to cherish his reputation. This is a huge joke!

Looking back on the powerful officials and overlords who fell one after another in recent years, half of them died at the hands of Lu Bu, or they may have a direct relationship with him. In just a few years, Lu Bu has successively worshipped three adoptive fathers: Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun of Situ. The first two were killed by Lu Bu himself, and the latter died because of Lu Bu's ineffective rescue. How do you have the face to mention the word "reliance" in such a terrible act?

After the defeat of Chang'an, Lu Bu led his troops to Chenliu and Zhang Miao, and asked Cao Cao to take him in. Then he took advantage of the time when Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou and sneaked into Yanzhou, almost trying to force Cao Cao to a dead end. Afterwards, Zhang Miao died tragically in the battle of Sili, and Lu Bu never thought of going to rescue him, even if he had to take back Zhang Miao's body. But he ignored the former relationship of Zhang Miao's help to him, and sat on Zhang Miao's death and stood by. Such unkind and unjust acts are unique in the world, but they are ordinary and not worth mentioning at all.

Looking at the history of ancient times, people like Lu Bu who are unfaithful, filial, unkind, unfaithful, and unfaithful, have no faith and integrity, and have no shame, have never been seen forever. They can definitely be called a strange flower that has never seen before and not seen the ancients and comers behind. They are unique. People like these who are unfaithful and unfaithful are actually embarrassed to talk about integrity, benevolence and righteousness at this moment, and they still cherish their reputation? All the evil deeds of Lu Bu in the past, does he still have reputation?

It is said that good things are not going out, bad things are passed down thousands of miles. Some people have been good people for half their lives and accumulated virtue and good deeds. However, as long as they do something bad, the good reputation he has accumulated in most of his life will collapse instantly and turn into nothing, and then be included in the list of bad people. In contrast, if someone has done evil things for half their lives and is an indelible evil deed, then no matter how good things he does in the future, it cannot be erased from his sins; even if he dies, the sins will still fall on his grave and record them in history to warn future generations. Lu Bu is one of them.

When Chen Gong recalled the evil things that Lu Bu had done, he couldn't help but blush, despised him, but was inconvenient to speak out. So he could only remain silent and try his best to calm his mind so as not to be unable to control his emotions and to officially break up with Lu Bu.

After a while, Chen Gong did not say much, and directly handed the letter in his sleeve to Lu Bu, then stood aside without mixing the words, closed his eyes and rested, and kept silent.

"Uh! This is." Lu Bu, who thought Chen Gong was going to preach again, took the letter with a blank expression, looked at Chen Gong suspiciously, then lowered his head and opened the secret letter, took out the secret letter to look. At first glance, Lu Bu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, suddenly looked up at Chen Gong, but saw Chen Gong closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, standing there like a wooden pile.

Soon after reading the secret letter, Lu Bu slowly rolled up the letter and put it in the secret bag with a sinister expression. Then he frowned and thoughtful, and did not speak for a long time.

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu sighed softly: "Mr. Gongtai must have read the secret letter, so let's act according to his words. He also has to trouble Mr. Gongtai to raise food and supplies, and to order the generals to prepare for war. He set out in five days and raise an army to attack Yuan Shu!"

"I hope you will obey the order." Chen Gong bowed and accepted the order.

This was something he expected, and there was no need to waste any more words. After seeing the secret letter, Lu Bu would never dare to refuse. He would execute it as stated in the secret letter in any case. Because this secret letter was written by General Li Li. If there is still someone in the world who can prevent Lu Bu from saying "no", then this person must be Li Li Li of Xiliang. The rebellious and unruly Bingzhou Lu Hu was not fearless. The only person he feared was Li Li, who repeatedly defeated his sharpness.
