Chapter 1223: Chen Gong Forced the Palace
Just when Lu Bu was flustered by the envoy's conditions and swayed from side to side, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and at the same time there was the sound of intensive armor rubbing.
"Who is making noise outside!"
Lu Bu frowned and shouted loudly.
"Report to my lord, this is my minister."
As he said that, the door of the room was opened, and Chen Gong came walking, but to Lu Bu's surprise, Chen Gong was still holding a sword in his hand, and the sword was still dripping with blood.
"What happened to the public platform?"
Lu Bu was taken aback, and asked involuntarily.
Although surprised, Lu Bu was not panicked, nor worried that Chen Gong was staging a coup.
With Lu Bu's fighting power, one hundred Chen Gong is not his opponent. In the current Pingcheng, as long as Chen Gong is within Lu Bu's sight, if he wants to kill Chen Gong, Chen Gong will undoubtedly die!
"My lord, these rebellious ministers have already been crowned, please send troops to fight against them immediately, my lord!"
As he spoke, Chen Gong waved his hand and threw a bloody head out.
"Wen Zhong!"
Lu Bu hadn't recognized whose head it was, but the envoy of the Shang Ji Army next to him suddenly let out an exclamation.
"My lord, the thirty-six espionage agents sent by the traitor Shang Ji to disturb the morale of our army have been awarded the first thirty-five. Please also order the killing of the last one to boost the morale of the army!"
As he spoke, Chen Gong pointed his sword at the envoy of the envoy, who was also the last survivor, and shouted.
Lu Bu was a little angry, but also a little flustered. He stared at Chen Gong and shouted coldly: "Chen Gong, without my general's order, who told you to kill the envoy without authorization? Are you planning to rebel?"
"I don't dare, the lord has an order, and I am willing to die, but I can't just sit back and watch the lord fall into a place of eternal doom!"
"Nonsense! Chen Gong, you are aggressive, domineering, and have no manners, and now you are bewitching Marquis Wen. What is your intention?"
The envoy also reacted, and hurriedly raised his voice.
Chen Gong didn't argue with the envoy, but looked at Lu Bu, and said in a deep voice: "This subordinate is loyal to the lord. If the lord fails and insists on colluding with the merchants, then the subordinate can only remonstrate with death!"
After speaking, Chen Gong knelt down on the ground, put the blood-stained sword across his neck, and looked directly at Lu Bu.
"Gongtai, why do you do this? Although you and I are called monarchs and ministers, we are actually like brothers and sisters. Is there anything we can't discuss properly?"
Lü Bu panicked a little, and was about to help Chen Gong up, but Chen Gong immediately moved the blade of the sword to the neck, scaring Lv Bu to stop immediately.
If other people used such means to force Lu Bu, Lu Bu would have summoned Fang Tian's painted halberd to send him back to the west. But Chen Gong was different. Ever since Lu Bu left Ding Yuan to stand on his own, Chen Gong had been following Lu Bu, carefully managing government affairs, and helping to make suggestions. At least 30% of the credit for Lu Bu's current power should go to Chen Gong.
It can be said that Chen Gong's status in Lu Bu's army is equivalent to that of Deng Yan + Xi Zhicai in Shang Ji's army.
"My lord, good news!!"
Before Lu Bu could finish dealing with Chen Gong's palace, another orderly soldier rushed over.
"Good news? Where did the good news come from?"
Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He grabbed the memorial, lost his eyes in a hurry, and his face immediately darkened.
The station newspaper wrote very simply, Gao Shun was ordered to go out to battle, defeated the enemy by 20,000, killed the enemy commander in battle, and won the victory!
However, Lu Bu never gave an order to take the initiative to attack!
"Okay, okay, you guys are so brave, you dare to fake the general's order and order the army to cross the border to launch an attack without authorization, you are really brave, are you going to tie up the general and send it to Yuan Shao tomorrow!!!"
Throwing the battle report on Chen Gong's face, Lu Bu roared angrily.
The guards and generals around were startled when they heard the words, and the faces of many generals who didn't know it changed drastically, and they fell to their knees in unison.
"My lord, it was my subordinate who falsely passed on your order,
He ordered General Gao Shun to lead the leading troops to carry out a cross-border attack on the Shangji army in Youzhou, and the responsibility rests entirely with one subordinate. The subordinate deserves to die, but General Gao Shun is innocent, the lord can't just sit back and watch General Gao Shun die in battle, can he? "
Lu Bu was so angry that his face turned blue, he rushed to Chen Gong, lifted him up, and shouted angrily: "Chen Gong, do you really think that the general will not dare to kill you???"
"This subordinate... this subordinate dare not, but...my lord is late, General Gao Shun is really in danger. I have sent someone to secretly reveal General Gao's whereabouts. Now the only one who can save General Gao is you, my lord. Alone."
Being caught by Lu Bu was a little out of breath, but Chen Gong managed to squeeze out a smile and spoke intermittently.
"Asshole!!"
Hearing this, Lv Bu got angry and threw Chen Gong out. The unlucky Chen Gong hit the door directly, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
Chen Gong got up, spat out blood again, and said: "My lord, hurry up and rescue General Gao Shun, at this time General Gao may have been surrounded by the enemy!"
"you you you!"
Lu Bu was so angry that he couldn't say anything, and finally waved his hand fiercely and said: "Order Qi Ben's army, let's go to support Gao Shun!!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu glared at Chen Gong fiercely again, and said in a hateful voice: "Put Chen Gong to death row for me, no one is allowed to approach without the general's order!!"
"Marquis Wen! Marquis Wen! I know that this minister, Chen Gong, is trying to make a difference. I can explain it to you. As long as you are willing to form an alliance with my lord, the previous conditions are still valid!!!"
"roll!"
With bloodshot eyes, Lu Bu roared at the envoy, his terrifying spirit oppressed the envoy. The envoy was just a literati who didn't know martial arts, how could he stand up to such a battle? After a second glance, he passed out directly.
"Press him to death row, and no one will order anyone not to approach!"
"Zhang Liao, you are in charge of staying behind, and the rest follow me!!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu walked out of the hall with great strides. Everyone followed and went to rescue Gao Shun.
Zhang Liao sighed, leaned over to help Chen Gong who was still vomiting blood, and said in a low voice, "Master, why bother? This time, my lord was forced by the military master to fight Shang Ji. If he loses, everything will be over. If we win, the military division may no longer have a foothold in our army, why did the military division come here?"
"If you can kill the merchant thieves, why would Gong be so crippled?"
Chen Gong coughed, protruding a mouthful of blood, and said firmly.
"Ugh!"
Zhang Liao sighed and said nothing more. Then he waved his hand and said: "Come here, put Chen Gong in death row, no one is allowed to visit without the Lord's order!"
But then, Zhang Liao said again: "Wait a minute, find a doctor to treat his injuries before going to prison."
Chen Gong glanced at Zhang Liao gratefully, and took the initiative to follow the soldiers to the death row.
When Chen Gong was gone, Zhang Liao glanced at the comatose envoy again, rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, and then ordered: "Detain him too, but be careful, don't make things difficult, let alone do anything An accident happened, if something goes wrong with him, everyone in the prison will not be able to escape!!"
