I have to say that Liu Bei's performance this time was very successful. Seductive words and lifelike expressions, the combination of the two is simply invincible. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already excited and wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy immediately. Chen Deng was also affected by it, and his heart was agitated. His disappointment was swept away, and he was full of confidence in Liu Bei again. After a while, Chen Deng calmed down and said: "What the lord said is true! At the moment, we are not strong enough and it is really not appropriate to start a war with Yuan Shu. On the contrary, making peace with Yuan Shu can buy us enough time to accumulate strength." Liu Bei's ability to understand Chen Deng's wishes is evident. "Fix it! If Yuan Shu's traitor dares to come, my second brother and I will kill him without leaving a trace." Zhang Fei shouted. Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei. Suddenly, Zhang Fei's eggplant wilted like a frost, and he lowered his head and did not dare to say any more. Seeing this, Liu Bei winked at Guan Yu again. Guan Yu understood and turned to comfort Zhang Fei. After a while, Zhang Fei swept away his depression and became a dragon and a tiger again. After appeasing Zhang Fei, Liu Bei turned to Chen Deng and asked: "Who does Yuan Long think it would be best to send there?" Chen Deng thought for a moment and replied: "Former Gongyou (named by Sun Qian) was sent as an envoy, and he had issues with Yuan Shu. Let¡¯s meet, I won¡¯t send him again this time.¡± Liu Bei nodded slightly, the candidate in his mind was also Sun Qian. "Tomorrow in court, I will raise this matter and discuss it with everyone." The reason why I didn't decide on this was because I took other people's thoughts into consideration. You must know that Liu Bei's use of Chen Deng and his son has already made Xuzhou dissatisfied. If he continues to act arbitrarily, I'm afraid there will really be a group attack. Chen Deng thought for a moment and guessed what Liu Bei meant, but he didn't mind. ¡The next day, everyone in Xuzhou gathered together. After a while of wrangling, Liu Bei suddenly said: "I have just taken charge of Xuzhou and want to make good friends with my neighbors. What do you think?" Everyone didn't know what Liu Bei meant, so they all remained silent. After a long time, I saw Chen Deng coming out and saying: "My lord! Our Xuzhou is adjacent to Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Yangzhou. Kong Rong and Tian Kai in Qingzhou are both good friends with our lord. All we need to do is give more gifts so that we don't become strangers. Cao Cao of Yanzhou recognizes me." Xuzhou killed his old father and had a deep grudge. If he sent an envoy, it would anger Cao Cao and think that the master was ridiculing him. His subordinates thought that Cao Cao would ignore him. " After a pause, Chen Deng's eyes flashed and he said: "Yangzhou is now at peace. Yuan Shu, the general of the South, had many misunderstandings with me in Xuzhou, so my lord sent someone to restore the old relationship. " "Yes!" Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "I also know about this. Tao Gong had regretted it before he died, and he did not hesitate to cede Xu. The intention to stop the war in the south is evident." The two sang in harmony, and everyone finally understood that Liu Bei was planning to show his favor to Yuan Shu. "Everyone! Who is willing to send an envoy to Shouchun to convey my message to Xuzhou?" Liu Bei asked everyone. Sun Qian stepped forward and said, "I am willing to go." A smile appeared on Liu Bei's face, and he was about to agree. Suddenly, Mi Zhu came out and said, "My subordinates are willing to go with me." "Uh!" Liu Bei was stunned and looked at Mi Zhu in surprise, wondering what his plan was. Speaking of which, Mi Zhu contributed a lot to Liu Bei's success in taking control of Xuzhou. "However, Mi Zhu's talents are average. Although he is very good at managing money, Xuzhou is rich and has countless money and grain in stock, so there is no need for him to add icing on the cake. After receiving Chen Deng's service, Liu Bei left Mi Zhu aside. After thinking about it, Liu Bei felt that he had treated Mi Zhu a little badly, so he said, "In that case, Zizhong and Gongyou will go on the mission together, and they must make peace with Yuan Shu." "I obey your orders!" Mi Zhu and Sun Qian said in unison. Chen Deng took a deep look at Mi Zhu and secretly guessed his intention. At this time, Liu Bei saw that the matter had been settled and ordered everyone to disperse. Chen Deng put away his thoughts and headed home. Back home, Chen Deng changed his clothes and went to find his father. When I came to the room, I saw Chen Gui holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and studying it carefully. He looked energetic and not at all sick. "Father!" Chen Deng bowed. "Yes!" Chen Gui responded lightly and asked, "How?" "It has been decided that Mi Zhu and Sun Qian will be the envoys and will set off soon." Chen Deng replied. "Mi Zhu?" Chen Gui frowned and asked in confusion, "Is he also a messenger?" "He asked for the order himself," Chen Deng said. Chen Gui lowered his head and thought for a while, then sneered: "The habits of merchants are difficult to understand."?, after all, it will not become a climate. " "What do you mean by what father said? Chen Deng said doubtfully. Chen Gui glanced at Chen Deng and asked, "Why do you think Mi Zhu asked for help this time?" " Chen Deng was confused, shook his head and said, "I don't know. " "fool! Chen Gui cursed and said, "Business and trade prospered under Yuan Shu's rule. Mi Zhu was originally a merchant. What do you think his purpose was in going to Shouchun?" " "This" Chen Deng was a little hesitant. He felt that his father's thinking seemed a bit too simple. He knew Mi Zhu quite well. He was a man of good intelligence. He would not ask for orders to go to Shouchun just for the sake of mere business benefits. . When Chen Gui saw Chen Deng¡¯s expression, he knew that he was not convinced, and sighed: ¡°You! Sometimes we just think of the problem as too complicated. " "Please ask father for advice! "Chen Deng cupped his hands. Chen Gui analyzed: "Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, and now he has taken control of Xuzhou. Mi Zhu has contributed, which shows that he is very optimistic about Liu Bei! Liu Bei has been assisted by you these days, and he has gradually begun to distance himself from him. He must be unhappy in his heart? But his talent is indeed not as good as yours, so he can only find another way. " Speaking of this, Chen Gui asked Chen Deng: "Think about Mi Zhu, a merchant, where would he start if he wanted to restore his disadvantage? " Chen Deng thought for a moment and said, "Money? " "good! "Chen Gui gently stroked his long beard and said calmly: "But this matter is not easy! It should be noted that Xuzhou is already rich, and Liu Bei may not care about the things of the Mi family, unless" Chen Gui stopped and looked at Chen Deng, not without the intention of teaching. Chen Deng understood and said: "Unless the wealth of the Mi family reaches The wealth is so great that no one can ignore it. " "Um! Chen Gui nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How is it?" Now do you understand why Mi Zhu asked for permission to go to Shouchun? " "I understand! " Chen Deng looked at his old father with admiration and said to himself: "Sure enough, ginger is still spicy with age. " I have to say that Chen Gui's vision is indeed vicious. Unfortunately, this time he guessed wrong, which caused Xuzhou to fall into a huge dilemma in the future. Of course, this is a story later. At the moment, Chen Deng was silent for a moment, looked up at his father, and said :"Father! I think Liu Bei is indeed a rare enlightened master. Why did my father" Before he finished speaking, Chen Gui waved his hand and interrupted, saying: "I never said that Liu Bei is not good, but he wants all the efforts of my Chen family. To help, the current performance alone is not enough. " Chen Deng was speechless. He was really optimistic about Liu Bei, but his father always had reservations. For this reason, he lied about being ill and stayed at home studying poetry and books all day, almost living a secluded life. "Alas! "The old man's attitude was firm, but Chen Deng had no choice but to sigh and stop persuading him.
