Chapter 268 – Chen Gong’s Counter Stratagem

Qin Huai then picked up all of his chests happily and quickly retreated to his inn In the hall, only re

Lu Bu then drink his wine and opened conversation first “Gongtai, let me hear your idea What is Liu Xuande’s plot this ti their interactions, Lu Bu had never been able to discern Liu Bei Such situation can be seen from their past interactions At that titao, can be said to have no allies from all directions Everyti Liu Bei whose only interactions was on Hulao Gate when he fought those 3 brothers together At that ti hiood to be given berth as his reputation as patricide is very big

However, Liu Bei unexpectedly received Lu Bu and give Xiaopei for Lu Bu to stationed Liu Bei knew that he is about to be Cao Cao’s Tiger Eats Wolf’s scheme So, in order not to be eaten by that scheme, Liu Bei provided Xiaopei for Lu Bu with hopes that he would be his ally to hit back Cao Cao for he didn’t fear to use tiger and didn’t even fear any repercussions After that, when Lu Bu snatched Xiapi froht that Liu Bei would retaliate, but none of that transpired as Liu Bei held to his patience Also at that time when Liu Bei was about to lose to Yuan Shu, he sent a request for reinforce had a revelation that Liu Bei is extrenore his request and to extinguish Liu Bei with Yuan Shu using pincer attack A person who can endure big huuise This sty and eat pig shi+t for food and Goujian orked as Fuchai’s servant for three years and eat his shi+t as dailyas they are similar to a hibernated poisonous snake, no one knohen they will strike back for when that rave So, Sun Bin’s result is he got his revenge and Goujian extinguished State of Wu So Chen Gong had the same idea with Cao Cao’s advisors, it is to kill Liu Bei to prevent big disaster in future

But, Lu Bu is not a person who knew that thing What he only want is to bask in victory light, so in light of that, he send his troops tofor Liu Bei to forget his revenge but he never did Later, Liu Bei did so He allied with Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu Only with Liu Mang’s appearance, Lu Bu still maintain his existence, as it is certain for Lu Bu to disappear in this stage Liu Bei also did another atrocity which is deceiving and betraying Cao Cao and killed General Che Zhou to retrieve back Xu Province Lu Bu then said “You know Gongtai This Liu Bei is completely unpredictable Based fro Liu Mang Sagely King title would end up in good thing But, what does he want? Soldiers? Doion, then it is out of question Then what?!” Lu Bu then put back his cup and back to his thinking while Chen Gong is also thinking really hard

Liu Bei was always stood by his virtuous reputation, now Liu Mang who already becoer reputation than his reputation Did he not fear for his populace to go to Shouchun? Thought Lu Bu While they are still thinking hard, the answer co Province That letter detailed all of Sun Ce’s plan with Sun Ce’s na to emphasize that it is Sun Ce who played Lu Bu Lu Bu then said “Gongtai, this is bad Sun Ce is going to suffocate us with 500,000 citizens frohboring warlords to let their citizens to Shouchun and Liu Mang”

Fro Province comes more than 500,000 That is already 1 million people Also in the letter, they said that Sun Ce also sent to Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, added with that, you got 2 er, that the letter slips down froood Gongtai, send order to halt co Set up checkpoints on every road Stop theripped with fear this tiine 2and Shouchun Once they are hungry, there will be a greatest riot that this nation ever see In the early days of Yellow Turban Rebellion, 800,000 Yellow Turbans fro of Beihai Only with Cao Cao help, can he repel those Yellow Turban However, Cao Cao’s loss also big tihts to recruit those Qing Province Yellow Turban as his prirain and provisions were cut down severely, leaving they to cannibal a read the letter as well, quickly stopped Lu Bu and said “We are too late at this point, Milord!!!” Chen Gong truly regretted that he didn’t go all out from the past two days If only, he was faster, there will be no incident like this Cons of stopping Lu Bu then said “Aiyah, those people are staying te to do his far!!!” Lu Bu predicted that outside only had around 100,000 people and Lu Bu ar also said “Milord, we are too late!!! The Imperial Decree has been out and we are on our way to suffocate to death!!!”

Liu Bei’s memorial to the Emperor held an extreme influence for the E sent out a very generous order, with that i, co for shelter, coe, the number for uneducated people outnumbers those of educated, thus uneducated people is easily roused, easily confused, easily used Plus with that I as Sagely King, no one else If Lu Bu blocked their path, their cry will shook this nation and Liu Bei and Sun Ce will defile Liu Mang and Lu Bu’s reputation even further, turning them back into public enemy number one

There two conditions will happen at this juncture; If Lu Bu raised his hand and send out soldiers, Lu Bu army only wound themselves and will be discredited by nobles and coabonds nobody will join Lu Bu arood the co, then 2and Shouchun like tidal wave and asking for food and water When that happens, even if Lu Bu arh to feed all of therains as seed Those commoners who came are definitely famine victims and definitely had rebellious behaviour When that riot happened, everything in Lujiang will crutai, what should we do? I don’t bla for his plan as Shouchun is in dire need of people to cultivate her lands What we didn’t predict is this event Sun Ce and Liu Bei quickly took advantage of it Also Liu Biao hihbour He should had killed Sun Ce’sus this letter” Lu Bu then put down the letter on the table fiercely Chen Gong also replied “Milord, Jing Province only looks for their best interest They are hoping we killed each other” Chen Gong then laughed hollowly and said “Hahaha Oh, Milord We also had eaten strategy like this before! We also cannot think out of the box” With Liu Mang already Sagely King, there is no way they can prevent co Province froht in between a rock and hard place So, with those things transpired, Chen Gong said his e quickly and send the was incensed as well, then concocted a new stratagem in that spur of moments Lu Bu is a bit confused and said “Send them to Shouchun? Wouldn’t it is too early to send the then said “No, the tih in this letter said that 500,000 people fro It is actually a bloated nu could only afford to send 300,000 people tops as losing even 10 of their population would cost the Liu Biao, he is a third party therefore, he is playing ignorance toward us, he didn’t encourage and he didn’t prevent Added with Cao Cao’s own people, Gong calculated there will be at least 1As for Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu? None of thea warlords will participate” Chen Gong then drink his wine and said his plans “Milord, we need to deliver all of the After that, we need to allocate provisions for our arive theain, as he is not clear “Gongtai, could you elaborateand Shouchun There is not enough to feed therain and provisions, the figure is too astrono amount To feed commoners for one whole year, Lu Bu would need at least twice the amount of the provisions that he had now Lu Bu also understood that he need to provide grains and provisions to Liu Mang for theer Chen Gong then said with confident tone “Milord, Gong knew that we are lacking in provisions However, we need this stunt of giving rations to co “Milord, if ere found out that ithheld our rations, ould commoners think? We need to use the will of people like Liu Bei and Sun Ce did in order to turn the favor for us” This stratage Miao’s e convinced all of tribal lords to support Lu Bu Noith this stunt, there will only have good results as those co as benevolent lords and after a while, they will start to hate Liu Bei and Sun Ce

Lu Bu then asked “What if in the end, there are few people whose anger will still be directed toward us?!” Lu Bu is truly worried, so he kept asking hypothetical scenarios for Shouchun is his

Chen Gong then answered “No need to worry about anything When those commoners approached Shouchun, they are also reach the fork where they can go to Liu Bei’s Yu Province Once the grains are e, to abandon Shouchun since Shouchun had yet to have provisions So, noon Shouchun, there is no more food for them!!!” This event was done previously by Yuan Shu When a lot of nobles abandon Shouchun, they also brought their food with them Naturally Yuan Shu couldn’t feed his commoners, so they rebelled and scattered to 8 directions This very scenario also was concocted by Chen Gong, in order for commoners to end Liu Bei as Liu Bei himself, will not be able to withstand 2 oes well, Lu Bu himself will be able to withstand the remnants of those 2 million people
