Han counter current

From the beginning to the end, Chen Dao was just Liu Bei's personal captain, in charge of only one or two thousand soldiers and horses. Sometimes, Liu Bei would deprive him of his military power and become a polished commander.

But even so, Chen Dao's faith did not waver much. It was not until later that he came into contact with Liu Bei's dark side and learned that his lord had done many things that both people and gods hated, and Chen Dao began to wake up.

Assassination of the emperor, occupation of the concubines, flooding of Xinye, mutilation of the people, etc., if Chen Dao hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a thing would have been instigated by his lord .

Later, Chen Dao became Liu Bei's scapegoat again and again, was punished for no reason again and again, endured these grievances, and endured the ridicule of others.

Seeing those incompetent and flattering villains climb up to high positions, and seeing those incompetent people who came later than him and have no military exploits riding on his shoulders, Chen Dao felt deeply about his original choice and decision. Suspect.

In terms of martial arts, although he is not as good as Guan Zhang, he is a mighty under Liu Bei. In terms of commanding ability, let alone Guan Zhang and Liu Bei, he can guarantee that he is better than them.

Regarding the ability to train troops in the field, Chen Dao dared to pat his chest and say that he is the best in the world, even Chen Feng's generals, he dared to compare.In terms of loyalty and friendship, he is definitely better than others.

But why, such an excellent general and talent like him, has never been reused or promoted in his whole life?Chen Dao questioned himself many times, but couldn't get an answer every time.

It wasn't until later, when he learned more about Chen Feng, that this descendant of the Chen family who came from the same clan as him, appointed people on their merits and promoted them on their merits, did he realize that his lord's ability to employ people was indeed too great. It sucks.

"If there is a next life, I Chen Dao, I will definitely follow a wise master,,,,,,"

After pouring a bowl of wine, he said this in a depressed mood.In his opinion, this life was ruined. In the last days of his life, he just wanted to pour all the sorrows into his stomach along with this drink.

"When my uncle and nephew are young and strong, they can still fight on the battlefield for 40 years. How can they talk about their next life now? Isn't this the style of a good man..."

Chen Feng pushed open the door and strode in.He heard what Chen Daogang said to himself, and he also knew the unwillingness and regret in this guy's heart.

"You, why are you here..."

For the sudden appearance of Chen Feng, apart from being astonished, Chen Dao also had a trace of surprise in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sadness. Compared with Chen Feng, he, a child of the Chen family, seemed too poor.

"I came to Changsha to do some business. I heard that you are here. I just came to see you. By the way, I brought you an old acquaintance. You can have a good chat later, uncle and nephew. I am so disappointed to see you like this. ,well,,,,,,"

After speaking, Chen Feng shook his head and left.In his impression, Chen Dao should be that kind of majestic, handsome, and energetic, but now he is not much different from a good-for-nothing.

"Send off the general, let the villain come next."

"Well, patriarch, although I am from the Chen family in Runan, I have been wandering outside these years, and I am a little unclear about the family's relationships and rules. You have to explain it to me later.

The Chen family in Runan is a big family, and I think it has many outstanding children. Now that the territory is large, it is troublesome to manage. You also know that I am too suspicious, and I don’t have enough old brothers. Now that I think about it, I’m afraid I can’t So I found some helpers from the Chen family. "

"The kindness of the general will never be forgotten by the villain. Please wait a moment, the general. I will give the general a satisfactory answer today."

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the patriarch of the Chen clan. Although Chen Feng was born in the Chen clan of Runan, he had left the system long ago. In addition, Chen Feng was now in a high position, so he did not dare to be presumptuous.

A few years ago when Chen Feng was not very powerful, although he heard that there was someone in his family, he didn't dare to support Chen Feng because of his vision and courage.

Only some unsatisfactory partial brothers in the family joined him. Later, he also inquired that the stronger ones among these partial servants had already held important positions. From then on, he began to face up to Chen Feng's existence.

It's a pity that the icing on the cake is so grateful that there is no timely help. When Chen Feng's power became stronger, he found that the Chen family in Runan was no longer ranked.

The Zhen family in Zhongshan, the Zhang family in Hejian, the Zhang family in Yanmen, the Gongsun family in Liaodong, the Zhao family in Changshan, etc., these families, big or small, have long been relying on Chen Feng, and they have become the top families in the world.

"Child, you have suffered..."

"Kangdang,,,,,,"

Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Dao, who was immersed in drinking, let go of the wine bowl in shock.Who would have thought that in this place thousands of miles away from home, I could still hear greetings from my old friend.

"Uncle, you, why are you here?"

"Hey, son, uncle is begging you for help. Hundreds of people from the Chen family in Runan are waiting for your help now."

"Uncle, uncle, you get up first, what's wrong with you, has the Runan Chen family offended anyone? At worst, there's that one just now, wouldn't it be better if you beg him?"

"My child, all of this is my fault. I am too selfish. When the general sent someone to ask for support, I refused. I personally cut off the path of the younger generation of the Chen family. ah.

Now the uncle is ashamed to go back to see the clansmen, son, you can save the clansman, your brothers, your nephews, they also want to get ahead, but I can’t help them, son, uncle, I beg you... ,"

Chapter 804 Political Means 1

Chen Dao is a proud person. In his opinion, a loyal person should follow one master for the rest of his life. Even if he goes on the wrong path, he should stick to it.

Therefore, these years, even though he knew Liu Bei's true face and Liu Bei's unfeeling towards him, he still sticks to his moral bottom line and never betrays Liu Bei.

But now, his uncle, the patriarch of the Chen clan, just knelt in front of him, begging him to reconsider his decision, abandon the Liu clan, and switch to Chen Feng.

Chen Dao always found it difficult to accept this kind of betrayal of the master and seeking glory and switching to other people's subordinates.In his opinion, doing so is no different from a villain.

The patriarch of the Chen clan actually grew up watching Chen Dao, so he naturally knew this guy's temper.Being pedantic is Chen Dao's biggest shortcoming.

"Son, uncle, I beg you. I know you have your own ideas and persistence in your heart, but I ask you, what kind of person are you loyal to? I warned you back then that Liu Bei is not a wise master. If you don't listen, Haven't you suffered enough grievances over the years?"

The patriarch really made up his mind, even though he was Chen Dao's elder, he still insisted on kneeling in front of Chen Dao, as if Chen Dao would not stand up unless he agreed.

Speaking of the past, Chen Dao's face was filled with guilt.Back then, the family trained young people of his generation, but when he made up his mind to follow Liu Bei, the previous patriarch and his fathers all came to dissuade him.

To be honest, it's not how unique the elders of the Chen family were at that time.At that time, Liu Bei was in exile, without a city, and there were only two to 3000 soldiers, horses and generals. The Chen family was a big family, so how could he be favored.

Besides, at that time, the Yuan family was sitting in Hebei, and the four generations and three princes conveyed goodwill to the Chen family, and promoted some of the Chen family's descendants, and accepted the Chen family's children as officials in Hebei.

Yuan Shu, the most powerful in the south, also wooed the Chen family in Runan, and the conditions offered were no worse than Yuan Shao's.

Under such circumstances, the elders of the Chen family naturally hoped that the outstanding children of the family would go to Hebei or Huainan to serve under the Yuan brothers. At that time, Chen Dao had great expectations.

It's a pity that Chen Dao finally gave up the goodwill of the Yuan brothers because he wanted to stick to his own ideas, and instead left his post, disbanded the thousands of soldiers entrusted to him by Yuan Shao, and took only two or three hundred family members to join Liu Bei.

It can be said that what Chen Dao did at that time almost brought disaster to the Chen family in Runan.Yuan Shao is a person with a good face. Although Chen Dao did nothing wrong, he made Yuan Shao ridiculed by the heroes of the world. At the same time, he also offended Yuan Shu in Huainan.

For Chen Dao's mistake, the Chen family in Runan paid a high price, not to mention the contribution of food, grass and supplies, many of the Chen family's children had to serve in the army, starting from the bottom.

Now, the patriarch of the Chen clan is showing emotion and understanding, making Chen Dao's face very tangled.To be honest, even if he followed Liu Bei back then, Chen Dao knew that he was shouldering the task of Everbright Chen Clan. Now, this task is in front of him, and he wants to refuse it.

"Forget it, forget it, child, you have been stubborn since you were a child, it doesn't matter, uncle doesn't beg you, but uncle is ashamed to go back to see his clansmen, I will fulfill your loyalty, I just ask you to send my body back to the ancestral grave in Runan .”

After finishing speaking, the patriarch pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed directly at his chest.Fortunately, Chen Dao reacted in time and grabbed the dagger, but even so, the patriarch's chest was still scarlet.

"Uncle, I was wrong, I promise you, Chen Dao, the unworthy descendant of the Chen family, please forgive me on my knees..."

This patriarch is really ruthless, he doesn't even care about his own life.In fact, he has nothing to do, he promised Chen Feng before, if this matter is not handled well, there will be no chance for Chen's children to become famous in the future.

As the head of the Chen clan, he has the task of strengthening the Chen clan.Even if persuading Chen Dao fails today, if he dies here, Chen Feng will definitely take care of the Chen family for the sake of the same family. Generally speaking, the idea of ​​the patriarch is not wrong .

In another bedroom, Chen Feng was working with an old man, neither of them said a word, just playing chess, a young man was standing next to him, watching chess, while refilling tea for the two.

"Although the general has many means, but the fire is not enough, this game is already lost, and I have to lose to my father again."

Seeing the gradually clear chess game, the young man next to him couldn't help laughing.Even in the face of Chen Feng, he didn't show the slightest fear, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Presumptuous, dare to be so rude in front of the general, and still not apologize."
