Chapter 29

Following the address given by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun found Chen Gong's residence.

Chen Gong did not live in a mansion like other generals and advisers, on the contrary, his residence was an ordinary house, which was better than the residence of ordinary people.

"That's it." Gao Shun looked at the dilapidated wooden door, stepped forward and patted vigorously: "Gongtai! Chengongtai!"

After a few snaps, Gao Shun stopped and waited quietly.

The night was so quiet at this time that he could clearly hear the faint sound of footsteps inside the door.

"Who is it?" A voice came from far and near the door.

"It's me, Gao Shun."

As soon as Gao Shun answered loudly, he heard the footsteps inside the door stagnated obviously, and then he continued to remember, and the next step was the step of pulling the door bolt.

"Gongtai, you haven't slept yet."

When the wooden door opened, Gao Shun looked at Chen Gong who was wearing a coat, and said with a smile.

"Heh." Chen Gong's eyelids twitched, but he still maintained his demeanor: "It's better for you to call me by my first name directly. The relationship between us is not close enough to call me Biao."

"Let's talk about this later, won't the public platform invite me in for a sit down?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If you don't want to be discussed by others, it would be bad if you spread it to the prime minister." Chen Gong said lightly.

"It's better to go in and talk, there are many people outside." Gao Shunpo said with a shameless attitude of not giving up until he achieved his goal.

He has also figured it out now, that is, he wants to tell lies to people and ghosts.

For Cao Cao, be cautious and always maintain the demeanor and toughness of a general.

For Zhang Liao, that means getting along with him as a big brother, even though he may not be as old as Zhang Liao in his heart.

When dealing with subordinates, it is necessary to talk about feelings, use feelings to influence them, and let them trust themselves.This he has already done.

For Chen Gong, that's another matter, you can't be reserved, let alone put on airs, you just want to be shameless.

No matter how he considered himself, he indirectly saved Chen Gong's life, and Chen Gong was not the kind of person who would avenge his kindness, so he would not ignore him.

Looking at the empty road outside, he could hear even a needle drop on the ground so quietly, Chen Gong's face trembled, and there were so many people farting, this Gao Shun was playing a rascal.

How did I find out that this person was a rascal when I worked with him before?You shouldn't have opened the door for him!
Chen Gong was a little helpless, and couldn't lock Gao Shun outside with his backhand, so he just got out of the way, and said calmly, "Come in."

"The public platform has a good temperament."

Gao Shun walked into the door carelessly, stepped across the front hall, looked at the plum blossoms in the yard, couldn't help feeling playful, and chanted:
"There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone."

"There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, Ling Han... opened it alone? The artistic conception is good, and the words are also very appropriate. I can't see that you, a general, can still have such a literary talent."

Chen Gong thought for a moment, slightly surprised.

"Is there much you don't know?" Gao Shun twitched his lips.

Why can't generals play literary talent?If I travel to other dynasties, I must become a "Wen Chaogong".

"Where is the study? Let's go there and talk about things."

Gao Shun still knew the business and got straight to the point.

When they arrived at the study, they lit the oil lamps, and the flickering lights illuminated Chen Gong's study.

On the desk, there are pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and there are a few books next to them.

"The tea is cold, let's make do."

Chen Gong brought two teacups and said.

"Do we still care about this?" Gao Shun curled his lips, only then did he realize that Chen Gong had no servants here, not even a handyman.

"Let's get down to business." Chen Gong put on his clothes, opened the stool, sat upright, stared at Gao Shun, and said.

He didn't believe that Gao Shun came to him in the middle of the night just to disturb his rest, there must be something important, so that he couldn't even wait for the daytime.

Gao Shun picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, smacked it twice, and said, "Isn't this a thank you to Gongtai for speaking for me in front of Minggong that day?"

"Hehe." Chen Gong pretended not to hear, and kept staring at Gao Shun.

"Don't worry about the public platform, this is not a serious matter yet."

Gao Shun organized his words: "Duke Ming said that after I finish suppressing the bandits, let me go to Xudu with him."

"Oh, so what? Mr. Cao will definitely not stay in Xiapi for too long, and he may have to go back in a few days." Chen Gong said flatly.

"Are you pretending you don't know or you really don't know?" Gao Shun was anxious, staring at Chen Gong: "Don't you know what this means?

My foundation, all my strength, and my life are tied to the trap of my subordinates.

They are recruited and trained by me personally, and they are also the basis for my survival.

If I go to Xudu, what will they do?then what do I do?
So should I refuse to go to Xudu, or go directly to Xudu with Minggong? "

"It's not up to you to decide. Cao Gong said he would take you there, so you must go!" Chen Gong said firmly.

"The water in Xudu is bottomless. It's not like you, Chen Gongtai, don't know. I'm gone. I'm alone. I can be swallowed up in Xudu. What's the use of a general without troops?
Let's not talk about me, even if I leave, what will happen to my [-] trapped camp? "

"Now, your camp is nothing more than two situations, either go with you, or stay in Xiapi."

At this moment, Chen Gong showed his demeanor as a counselor. After thinking for a moment, he said calmly: "Stay in Xiapi, you will die. A unit that can fight without a general, even if it has only 700 people, is still a piece of cake.

Then you can only take the trapped camp to Xudu, but Mr. Cao didn't talk about your subordinates when he talked with you. That's why you came to me, right? "

"Yes, that's how it is." Gao Shun still admired Chen Gong very much, and he was so overwhelmed by the problem that he couldn't figure out the direction. When he came to Chen Gong, he cleared his mind in a few words.

"It's not difficult, let me mention a few words for you." Chen Gong said lightly.

This matter itself is not difficult, it is rare who is going to say it and how to say it.

Let Gao Shun go to Cao Cao and say that I want to take my soldiers and horses to Xudu, and it would be good if Cao Cao didn't kill him.

But let Chen Gong, as a counselor, give some advice. For example, when Cao Cao needs to bring those troops back to Xudu just after the discussion, he would lightly insert a few words such as "I think Gao Shun's camp is good." That's fine.

This is also the reason why Gao Shun came to Chen Gong instead of Zhang Liao.

It's like, in a company, can the words of ordinary employees and the words of core backbones be the same in the eyes of the boss?

If the core backbone puts forward an opinion, even if the boss will not adopt it, he will seriously consider it; if an ordinary employee raises an opinion, the boss will only think he is crazy and reprimand him.

"I can help you with this matter, but don't get too complacent."

Just when Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief and thought everything would be fine, Chen Gong's cold sentence made him break into a cold sweat.

 Fake recommendation, no collection, crying
