When the princes first emerged, the aristocratic family indeed played a role that cannot be ignored. However, Lu Bu's success in fighting against the noble family gave rise to a powerful prince in the world.

After entering the area of ​​​​Linzi, Chen Gong felt a slightly prosperous atmosphere. Qingzhou had gone through too many wars, and it could be restored to its current situation, which shows how much effort Qingzhou officials have put in.

As a counselor, Chen Gong will naturally observe the surrounding situation in detail. From the looks of the passing people, Chen Gong did not see panic. This kind of situation is difficult to see in Langxie. Langxie has a family that secretly

To control, they control the interests of the people and make more people become their vassals. People living in such an environment do not have much hope for life.

This made Chen Gong even more curious about Lu Bu, but he knew that when he went to Qingzhou this time, he would definitely have to make a choice, and he had already made his decision before.

If the monarch reuses him, it will have a vital influence on a counselor. If a counselor like Chen Gong loses the trust of the monarch, even if he is full of talents, it will be difficult to get the opportunity to display them, which is the saddest thing.

.

In Linzi City, not long after the cavalry escorting Chen Gong entered Qingzhou, Lu Bu got the news that Chen Gong was one of his important figures on the Qingzhou battlefield. Before using Chen Gong, what he had to ensure was Chen Gong's loyalty. In fact,

Chen Gong was able to assist Zang Ba in Xuzhou for so many years. Lu Bu was positive about Chen Gong's efforts.

It is extremely difficult for a talented counselor to be willing to do this.

When he learned of Chen Gong's arrival, Lu Bu quickly ordered his guards to let him go.

In the hall of the Prefectural Mufu, Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and other important civil servants and military generals from Qingzhou gathered together, with Lu Bu sitting at the top.

"My subordinate, Chen Gong, has met the King of Jin." After Chen Gong entered the hall, he did not look sideways. He did not seem to care at all about the civil servants and generals around him. He walked calmly, making it difficult for people to detect Chen Gong's inner thoughts.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu nodded secretly. Just in terms of demeanor, Chen Gong was far beyond what ordinary people could match.

"Please call me for Gongtai. When I was in Jinyang and Chang'an, I heard about Gongtai's name," Lu Bu said.

"This is a matter within the scope of my duties." Chen Gong cupped his hands and said.

Then Lu Bu introduced Chen Gong to the civil servants and military officers in the hall. Chen Gong stepped forward to salute one by one, looking calm.

The officials who were introduced hurriedly returned the courtesy. Lu Bu received Chen Gong so solemnly, which fully reflected Chen Gong's status in Lu Bu's mind. At this time, they naturally had to be more respectful. They did not understand Chen Gong's abilities.

, but they admire Lu Bu's ability very much. Being valued by Lu Bu is enough to show Chen Gong's ability.

After introducing the people in the hall to Chen Gong, Lu Bu said: "Chen Gong assisted Zang Ba in Xuzhou for many years. When the princes jointly led troops to attack Bingzhou, Chen Gong assisted Zang Ba to capture Xiapi and threaten Xuzhou, while Gongtai was

He is a wise and resourceful person, and he has great strategies. I am very happy that Gongtai can come here this time."

From Lu Bu's words, everyone felt Lu Bu's appreciation for Chen Gong. After hearing these words, Chen Gong felt a little calmer. From Lu Bu's behavior after entering the Prefectural Mufu, it can be seen that Lu Bu's appreciation for Chen Gong

He takes it seriously, which is of great significance to Chen Gong.

"Tonight, I will hold a banquet at the Prefectural Mufu Mansion to welcome the public." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Thank you, King Jin." Chen Gong saluted.

After everyone left, Chen Gong stayed. After living in Xuzhou for many years, Lu Bu believed that Chen Gong had a deeper understanding of the situation in Xuzhou, which would play a vital role in conquering Xuzhou in the future.

"I wonder what Gongtai thinks of the current general situation in the world?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Chen Gong understood that this was the beginning of Lu Bu's consideration of him. If the answer could satisfy the monarch, it would be easy to be reused in the future. On the way to Linzi, Chen Gong discussed what Lu Bu might ask.

After thinking about it, a top counselor is required to have a certain degree of control over the general trend of the world, especially when the monarch's territory becomes larger, this aspect becomes even more important.

"Now the King of Jin is sitting on the land of seven states. There are thirteen states in the Han Dynasty. The King of Jin occupies seven of them. His power is unstoppable. However, Cao Cao's troops are strong and his horses are strong, and Cao Cao's methods are extraordinary. If the Lord wants to bring peace to the world, there will be a hard battle.

, when fighting against Cao Cao, Jiangdong will definitely take action. Judging from the current situation in the world, the possibility of Jiangdong supporting the King of Jin is very small. Although Sun Quan has not been in charge of Jiangdong for a long time, Jiangdong is dangerous and solid, and Sun Quan wants to have something.

As a result, troops and horses will inevitably be dispatched in this battle." Chen Gong said slowly.

"Cao Cao has no less than 200,000 armored men under his command. If he joins forces with the Jiangdong Army, his strength will be even greater. After the alliance between the two, Cao Cao will not have to worry too much about the threat from the Jiangdong Army and will be able to show off more troops.

In the battle against the King of Jin, Sun Quan from Jiangdong had nearly 100,000 troops, and the Jiangdong navy was particularly powerful. Although the lord trained the navy in Jizhou, it was extremely difficult to rely on Jizhou's navy to contain the Jiangdong navy in this battle, and

If the Jiangdong navy suddenly sends troops to attack Qingzhou or Jizhou when the war between King Jin and Cao Cao reaches a stalemate, King Jin's rule will be plunged into turmoil."

"There will definitely be a war between the King of Jin and Cao Cao. You can attack Jingzhou from Wuguan in Chang'an. Cao Cao will definitely deploy troops and horses in Jingzhou. The man stationed in Wancheng is Cao's general Xiahou Yuan. It is extremely difficult to defeat Wancheng.

Qingzhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou are close to each other. Yanzhou is the place where Cao Cao made his fortune. Cao Cao is most likely to attack Qingzhou. As long as Qingzhou is captured, the Jin Dynasty's power north of the Yellow River can be eliminated. In this way, with the danger of the Yellow River,

, can form a confrontation with King Jin."

"At this time, Yin and Hongnong counties in Henan are in the hands of Cao Cao. If Cao Cao's army raises troops to attack Hangu Pass and defeats Chang'an, it will inevitably cause instability in the Jin Dynasty. However, Cao Cao's army can cross the Yellow River and capture Hanoi County, cutting off the connection between Jizhou and Chang'an.

The connection formed a tendency to encircle Qingzhou."

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu nodded secretly. Lu Bu had a certain understanding of the situation in the world. If he wanted to gain a greater advantage against Cao Cao, he must analyze the deployment of Cao's army, and

In Lu Bu's plan, Jiangdong exists as the opposite. Taking this force into consideration will avoid situations that are difficult to control on the battlefield when dealing with wars in the future.

"That's what Gongtai said. From Gongtai's point of view, if a war breaks out, where is the best place to choose the battlefield?" Lu Bu asked.
