Chapter 47: What does it mean to follow the trend? (Part 1)

Xu Sheng is a person who is not very good at expressing himself.

And Liu Chuang is not a good person who is good at socializing... Otherwise, he would not have had so few friends in his previous life.

Two people who are not very good at expressing themselves collided, and various misunderstandings arise.

Xu Sheng felt: Come and try to keep me. As long as you try to keep me, I will agree... If you don’t speak out, how can I stay?

But Liu Chuang is like that: You have to explain it clearly to me!

If you don’t explain it clearly, how can I know what you think? I hope you stay, but if I speak but you reject it, wouldn’t it be shameless?

Two face-loving guys have misunderstandings by chance.

If it weren't for the timely reaction of the Mian, maybe Liu Chuang would have passed by Xu Sheng.

Mi Feng knew that Liu Chuang admired Xu Sheng very much. However, this guy whose temperament changed drastically but some things had not changed would not be easily expressed if no one had threaded needles and threads in it. Just like when Mi Feng hadn't forced Liu Chuang to make a decision, this dull guy wouldn't have said such a shameful but sweet words as "I like you, Wu Feng".

Liu Chuang's breath that was held in his heart was all right.

As for Xiaodouzi and Xu Sheng, the development momentum is very good...

Seeing that Xiaodouzi could find happiness, Liu Chuang was also very happy in his heart.

The sea boat walked on the sea for two days, and on June 23, finally arrived in Yandu... Yandu, which is the Yancheng in later generations. It began in the Western Han Dynasty and was famous for its salt production. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yandu was transferred to Guangling County, but with the deterioration of the Han Dynasty, Yandu salt farm was gradually abandoned. Especially after Emperor Huan, Yandu was poached by the Mi family, and production was almost stopped, and no one was concerned about it.

In other words, Yandu has become a border wasteland.

However, many talented people have emerged in Yandu.

Among them, the most famous figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty was probably Sun Jian, the father of Sun Quan, who later established the Wu Kingdom and was in the three-legged state with Cao Wei and Shu Han. During the time and years, pirates were rampant. Sun Jian was the Yandu Chief and was also the first county magistrate to be recorded in the Yandu History Book.

At dawn, Liu Chuang stood on the deck and watched the ships carrying people slowly heading to the shore.

The salt farm in Yandu is almost abandoned, but the air is still filled with a slight saltiness... This important town that has supported the salt industry of the Han Dynasty for 400 years and ensures the supply of salt in Lianghuai, from a distance, has already shown a deep evening air, and looks like a cold and desolate feeling.

"Young Master, let's land."

Xue Wen walked over and said softly: "Uncle Yong and Uncle Hai have both arrived ashore, and the third lady and the others have already arrived on the boat, and only you and Wen Xiang are left."

After walking for two days on the sea road and blew the sea breeze on Yuzhou Mountain for five days, Liu Chuang suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Guangling County is not a familiar world.

Leaving from Qu County, he was equivalent to entering this strange world. He had fought one after another, so he had no time to feel it, but now, he was a little scared! But no matter how afraid he was, he had to go ashore... If it were a thousand five hundred years later, the vast sea might be full of opportunities. But in this era, the sea is synonymous with death, and the real opportunity is still in the continent in front of him.

Maybe there will be a chance to explore the ocean in the future, but at present, the time is not yet ripe...

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang took a deep breath and jumped from the sea boat onto the ship.

The elephant dragon horse also got on the boat, and then Xue Wen and Xu Sheng followed Liu Chuang, rode the steed and slowly sailed to the beach.

The sea boat behind him slowly left after Liu Chuang and others got ashore.

When the sea ship disappeared at the horizontal line, Liu Chuang suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, from now on, we are alone."

"ha!"

Everyone laughed loudly.

Liu Chuang rolled over the horse, held the dragon stick on another pack horse, and then urged the horse to go.

Mi Feng and Xiao Douzi were still riding in a carriage, but there was an additional team of guards on both sides of the carriage. Xu Sheng was ordered to lead a team of cavalry to be responsible for the safety of the carriage.

Guan Hai was the vanguard and led a team of horse soldiers.

The rest are infantry and are divided into two teams, commanded by Liu Chuang and Liu Yong respectively.

The team of more than 200 people is obviously much more powerful than the dozens of lonely people before. But Liu Chuang did not dare to take it lightly. The more this happens, the more cautious he should be. Any slackness may lead to death. Liu Chuang has experienced many scenes along the way from Qu County. Compared with the youthfulness he had just come out of Qu County, Liu Chuang is obviously more calm now.

"Mr. Huang, how can we go?"

Huang Shao took out a cowhide map, looked at it and said, "Let's go to Gaoyou, and then go straight to Jiangshui Temple."

"Didn't you say you're going to Hailing?"

"Hailing is equivalent to taking a long journey... We have too many more people and horses now, and we must have some supplies along the way... Although we go to Hailing quickly, it is a bit dangerous. Hailing is too close to Dongling Pavilion, and Dongling Pavilion, as a key place in Jiangdu, must have troops stationed.

In the past, we were all horse soldiers, so we could avoid the guards of Dongling Pavilion.

But now…”

Huang Shao pointed to the soldiers and horses around him and whispered: "So many infantry soldiers, going to Hailing will definitely alarm the defenders of Dongling Pavilion, and it is definitely not the best choice.

Let’s change into Guan Jun’s dress, so it’s more convenient to go to Gaoyou.

Since you can't escape, it's better to act boldly... As long as you can reach the Jiangshui Temple smoothly, it will be a perfect achievement."

After hearing Huang Shao's explanation, Liu Chuang was no longer confused.

They took a break in Yandu, and replenished some supplies and food, and advanced westward. The Yandu County Magistrate did not care too much about such a soldier. First, he was unable to resist; second, this soldier was dressed in Han army. Although the origin was unknown, the Han army that appeared in Yandu during this period was probably under Liu Bei's subordinates, so why did he become a villain in vain?

Anyway, there is nothing worth paying attention to in Yandu!

There was a salt farm here in the past, but now the salt farm has been shut down, so the county magistrate has lost his last interest.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At this time, the situation in Xuzhou changed again.

Yuan Shu was knocked by Liu Bei and was about to find the place, but Liu Bei retreated and ran back to compete with Lu Bu for Xia Pi.

How could Yuan Shu give up after suffering a loss?

He immediately ordered Ji Ling to be the pioneer, crossed the Huai River from Zhongli, and occupied Hong County.

Chen Deng stationed his troops in Xiaqiu, but he did not reveal any flaws. However, when facing the aggressive Yuan Shu soldiers, Chen Deng still felt difficult.

So he quickly sent someone home to ask his father Chen Gui for advice.

Chen Gui's reply only has four words: follow the trend.

What does it mean to go with the flow?

To put it bluntly, it is the one who listens to whom the big fist... As a Guangling clan, the Chen family has an unparalleled influence in Xuzhou. Chen Gui's attitude is very clear: no one helps! I only do my duty, and other things have nothing to do with me. In Xuzhou, whether it is the surname Tao, Liu or Lu, I have to win over my Chen family in the end. Since that is the case, why should I care about who will rule?

As long as you don’t affect the interests of my Chen family, I will not help anyone.

Of course, if the people who command Xuzhou are worthy of my service, I wouldn't mind helping you.

Lu Bu, the world's tiger, has a bad reputation, so he naturally cannot be seen by the Chen family; and Liu Bei is a kind person, which is worthy of helping... But the problem is that although your reputation is good, you are a betrayal dog now. Even if I help you, you must be careful.

Chen Deng understood what Chen Gui meant and immediately sent someone to report to Xia Pi.

Although Lu Bu got Xia Pi, his father-in-law Cao Bao died at the hands of Zhang Fei on the night he captured Xia Pi.

This cut off a channel for him to communicate with the local tribes in Xuzhou... When he was in a dilemma, Chen Deng suddenly sent someone to come. Although Chen Deng did not indicate his intention to be loyal, in Lu Bu's view, this was undoubtedly the kindness released by the Guangling Chen family to him.

With Chen Deng, he is a hundred times better than Cao Bao.

"The king and the prince should treat Chen well.

However, it is not trustworthy for Chen's use... So when you contact Chen, you should be more careful. Chen Deng should win over him, but be careful. The king can destiny for Xuzhou, test Chen Deng's attitude, and then make plans."

Chen Gong did not particularly believe Chen Deng’s so-called surrender.

However, Lu Bu did not listen. In his opinion, Chen Deng's ability to report to him was to some extent a sign of loyalty.
