Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Ren Jun got off his horse, came to Lu Yan and Mao Jie, bowed his hands and said:

"Ren Jun,

Meet Lu Zhonglang!

See Mao engaged! "

Mao Jie nodded,

Lu Yan helped Ren Jun up kindly, and said, "Welcome to Chenliu, we will be a family from now on."

Afterwards, Lu Yanyou turned around and said to the other officials: "Everyone, let's have a banquet in the government office tonight to cleanse Boda!"

Ren Jun was moved, and thanked him again: "Thank you Lu Zhonglang!"

Rare group dinner,

Naturally, Lu Yan wanted to call Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian and other old acquaintances,

But most of them are civil servants here, and the two generals and half of the literati are still a little uncomfortable.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Some literati began to persuade Lu Yan to drink while drinking. For this reason, Lu Yan said inwardly with disdain: "Persuade me to drink? You are really a little expert..."

For those who came to offer a toast to him, Lu Yan accepted them all according to the order, and he gained the favor of many people.

At this time, it was the start-up of the group, and the civil and military disputes were not yet obvious, so as soon as the wine was drunk, Cao Ren and the other three finally gradually integrated into the circle.

Cao Hong got a little smug after drinking,

He saw a group of literati taking turns toasting Lu Yan, so he also brought a jar to find Lu Yan to fight for wine.

Lu Yan is born with true energy to protect himself, no matter how much you drink, you can only drink it as plain water,

"Changsheng, come, make a pot!"

"..." Lu Yan looked at the general who seemed to be full of resentment, and drank a pot with him.

After Lu Yan ate the pot, even the expression on his face didn't change for a moment.

On the contrary, Cao Hong had only half-eaten his stomach, but at this moment he was already on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, Lu Yan quickly supported Cao Hong and asked, "General Zilian, don't force yourself too much."

However, Cao Hong shook off Lu Yan's arm, and continued pouring water with his face up to the sky. This posture frightened the officials at the banquet.

Who is Cao Hong?

What he is doing now is obviously resentful.

As for who the grievances are aimed at, that is naturally self-evident.

The banquet has reached this point, I'm afraid there is no need to continue,

Anyway, it's almost the time of day.

Lu Yan winked at Cao Ren and Li Dian, then said to Ren Jun and other officials:

"I'm sorry everyone, today's banquet is over, everyone should go back and rest earlier."

Ren Jun naturally also saw that something was wrong, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"Lu Zhonglang, I bid farewell!"

Other officials cupped their hands and said, "Farewell!"

......

After the civil servants have left,

Cao Ren and Li Dian stepped forward and carried Cao Hong into the conference hall to rest.

Cao Hong was still yelling: "I'm not drunk, I still want to drink!"

Generally speaking, people who are not drunk are drunk. Lu Yan ordered someone to cook some hangover soup, and then asked Cao Ren and Li Dian: "Zi Xiao, Man Cheng, are you the same as Zi Lian? Are you a little drunk?" Distressed?"

Cao Ren and Li Dian were silent at first,

After a long time, Cao Ren sighed and said: "Brother Zhandong County entered Yanzhou, but the merits are not as good as our brothers and Manchester City. It must be a lie to say that there is no grievance."

Li Dian also said at this time:

"Lu Zhonglang, you also know that General Zilian has always regarded the Lord as the person he admires the most, and he can protect him with his life.

But now it seems that he has been neglected by the lord, so he just..."

Before Li Dian finished speaking,

Lu Yan suddenly shouted: "Idiot!"

Cao Ren, Li Dian, and even the drunk-eyed Cao Hong were stunned by Lu Yan's sudden outburst.

They looked at Lu Yan with astonishment and confusion on their faces, not knowing why Lu Yan was so angry.

Lu Yan shouted again: "You are three idiots, even you don't understand Cao Gong's thoughts, Cao Gong really lost his trust in you!"

Li Dian and Cao Ren looked at each other, and after confirming that they were confused, they clasped their fists and asked Lu Yan, "I also ask Lu Zhonglang for advice!"

This fellow Cao Hong actually sobered up at this moment, "Please speak up, Changsheng!"

Lu Yan waited a moment,

Thinking in his heart how he could not only fool these three people, but also improve their morale,

After all, defending Chen Liu still depends on their efforts.

"Eunuch Cao went to the front and left us his only rear. Do you think this is neglect?"

"But Yuanrang, Miaocai, Zilong, and Wenqian all made gains on the front line, but we..." Cao Ren argued in a gruff manner.

Lu Yan did not make too many excuses, but asked instead: "Do you know the location of Chenliu County?"

"Of course I know!" Li Dian replied immediately.

Lu Yan continued: "Chenliu is located south of the Yellow River and east of Luoyang.

To control Chenliu, you can go to Jizhou in the north, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou in the east, and Yuzhou and Jingzhou in the south.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Emperor Gaozu and Xiang Yu were fighting for the world, Li Shiqi, a drunkard in Gaoyang, once said to Gaozu:

'Although Chenliu is small, it is an important place in the world and a place extending in all directions. '

Why did Mr. Cao leave such an important place to us to stay behind? "

Cao Ren and Cao Hong said nothing,

Seeing other people fighting on the front line every day to collect their military exploits, while I and others are farming in the rear, and I don’t even have to fight in the field.

For the two closest to Cao Cao, it would be a lie to say that there is no resentment.

Li Dian is also quite ambitious. Now that he is doing clerical work every day, he feels somewhat unable to show his strengths.

Lu Yan asked them why Cao Cao let them stay in Chenliu. If these people understood, they would not feel resentful.

In fact, Lu Yan didn't know why Boss Cao left these people behind.

However, the hometown must be guarded by trustworthy people, but saying this cannot enhance the sense of mission of Cao Ren and the others, so Lu Yan decided to add some material to it...

"You know about Dong Zhuo's death and the chaos in Chang'an, right?"

"I heard something!"

"There's been a lot of trouble recently."

"I've heard it."

Lu Yan continued: "Wang Yun died, and Lu Bu fled.

When Li Jue and Guo Si hijacked the emperor and controlled the government, the imperial power fell, and the world's princes flocked to rise.

Now Chen Liu is guarding the east gate of Luoyang, which is the rear of Duke Cao's eastward advance.

But when the east is stable and once Chang'an changes again, then Chenliu will be Cao Gong's gateway to the west and the bridgehead for Cao Gong to welcome the emperor! "

"Welcome... welcome the emperor?!"

Cao Ren was so startled that he almost bit his tongue.

Li Dian also had sharp eyes, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Cao Hong, on the other hand, was in a daze, completely unaware of why the emperor was involved.

There seemed to be no change on Lu Yan's face, but he cried out inwardly: "Wori, let's play it off, and let it slip!"

Chapter 32 Serving the Son of Heaven

The three of Cao Ren stared at Lu Yan in a daze,

After a long time, Li Dian came out of the shock and asked aloud, "What do you mean by Mr....?"

Although Lu Yan's words were a bit "scary", the effect was really good.

Didn't you see that Li Dian's title has changed from Lu Zhonglang to Mr....

Lu Yan was weighing the pros and cons in his heart, but he didn't think for too long, and thought: "Anyway, that old guy Mao Jie will still talk about it soon...I'm so familiar with him, he won't mind if I steal it. His lines?"

He felt that now that the layer of paper had been pierced in advance, he should just go all out, let's just say it!

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were sharp,

His eyes wandered back and forth between Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Li Dian, and then asked in an unusually serious tone:

"Can I trust you guys?

Cao Gong, can I trust you? "

Lu Yan's words seemed to insult the three present, no, it was insult,

The faces of Cao Hong and Cao Ren turned red immediately,

The two brothers almost gritted their teeth and pointed to the sky and swore to the sky: "If my two brothers are guilty of elder brother and husband, there will be thunder and thunder from the sky, and there will be no place to die!"

Li Dian was not so ruthless, he just cupped his fists and said, "If Li Dian has betrayed the lord and Mr., please take my head!"

Lu Yan nodded slowly. The three in front of him should be the most trustworthy generals in Chenliu County. As for ban... Lu Yan felt a little difficult.

As one of Cao Wei's five good generals, Yu Jin accompanied Cao Cao in the northern and southern expeditions and made great achievements in battle.

His ability and strength are unquestionable.

But the bad is the bad,

He has a history of surrendering...

Yu Jin was excluded from the conversation this time, not because Lu Yan was guarding against him, but Lu Yan still had some doubts about Jin in his heart.

Yu Jin is also considered a man with both civil and military skills, and is very good at training soldiers.

He has been in the army for 30 years, except for the one defeat to Guan Yu, he has almost no defeats.

It's just that I couldn't hold back the shivering at the end,

In the end, what is remembered by people is not Yu Jin who ruled the army according to the law, but the treacherous and selfish Yu Jin;

It is no longer Yu Jin who is invincible in all battles, but Yu Jin who is defeated and captured, greedy for life and afraid of death.

The human heart is the most unpredictable. Once he has a criminal record, no matter what he does, he will no longer be pure, but a tainted person...

Cao Ren and Cao Hong are Cao Cao's brothers and buddies,

Li Dian has a deep understanding of righteousness, is uncontested, respects elegance, has the style of an elder, and is also a reliable and famous general.

For the three of them, Lu Yan absolutely trusted them.

Now that the words have been spoken, Lu Yan said bluntly,

"Although Chang'an is temporarily controlled by Li and Guo, there are still loyal people in the court after all.

It is certain that within a few years the emperor will escape from Chang'an with the help of loyal people.

Think about it, if the Son of Heaven escapes from Chang'an, where is he most likely to flee to? "

To the north of Chang'an is the Yellow River, the Qinling Mountains to the south, and Xiliang to the west. It is absolutely impossible for the Son of Heaven to run towards these three.

Thinking of this, Li Dian's eyes lit up, and he replied: "The Son of Heaven... can only come to the east!"
