Chapter 2 The Beginning of Streams and Clouds Section 12 Tell the Truth

Seeing that Gongwei was puzzled, Chen Le frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, waved to Tian Jinjiang at the door, signaling him to stand a little further. Tian Jinjiang ignored him and looked at Gongwei. Seeing that Chen Le had something to say, Gongwei nodded. When Tian Jinjiang saw that Tian Jinjiang immediately left the room and pulled the door.

"My lord's subordinates are indeed prohibited." Chen Le praised with a smile.

Gongwei ignored his words, just smiled and quietly waited for Chen Le's explanation, why he said that Wei Ju would definitely be the King of Wei and would be able to do it soon, is there any insider information that Gongwei didn't know? Chen Le moved to him, and almost all his knees touched Gongwei's knees, and then said in a voice that was so light that only Gongwei could hear it, "General, have you forgotten who went to Wei?"

Gongwei thought for a while and suddenly realized it.

The one who went to favor Wei land was Zhou? Zhou? was a Wei people. More importantly, before leaving Chen County, he bluntly supported Wei Ju instead of Chen Sheng. Now that he has soldiers in his hands, his back is even harder. If he takes Wei land and supports Wei Ju as the king, that would be reasonable.

"The general is not very clear about Zhou? This person, but his father knows it well." Chen Le looked at the shocked Gongwei and raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. "General, Zhou? is progressing very smoothly in Wei and has occupied a lot of places. After he has settled his footsteps, he will soon ask Wei Ju to return to become king. At that time, even if the king does not agree, what can he do? Kill the brothers of Wei Ju? That Zhou? Will find another descendant of the Wei royal family. Kill Zhou? I am afraid that the rebel army will collapse and be defeated. Don't forget that the king has only more than 20,000 people left, and he is not the opponent of Zhou at all."

Gongwei's head buzzed and he couldn't help but hold his breath. Chen Le said the truth. Chen Sheng was too confident. He thought he had enough ability to control his subordinates, which led to the current situation. The generals under his command all held heavy troops, but he himself became the weakest one. It was a foregone conclusion that he could not lose his tail. Ge Ying listened to him and put down the army in his hand and went back to Chen County to apologize, but he was killed by him. Will the others be so obedient? If they have the intention of being unjust, they will naturally grasp the strength in their hands. Others will also be sympathetic, and they will not easily obey Chen Sheng's arrangements.

In other words, the power in Chen Sheng's hands is already on the verge of being out of control.

A cold sweat ejaculated from Gongwei's back, and instantly wet his underwear. He suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation in front of him. Needless to say, Zhou, let alone Wu Chen. Wu Chen is Chen Sheng's most confidant. He is now unscrupulous, let alone other people?

In the face of the interests of becoming kings and dominance, few people can abide by morality. Chen Sheng's bold statement, "Why would a king, prince, general, and minister" successfully aroused everyone's fighting spirit, but now it has become his death talisman. Since king, prince, general, and minister have no seeds, then Chen Sheng can be king, why can't I be king?

Chen Sheng must have never expected that he would take the first step towards success and also plant the root of disaster.

Gongwei looked at Chen Le, who was smiling and silent, and felt a burst of coldness. The Chen family father and son were indeed aristocrats of many years, and their sensitivity to political struggles was extraordinary. They saw the direction of the matter after many steps ahead of others. The Chen family's daughter is Chen Sheng's woman, and Chen Pan, the eldest son of the Chen family, is now Chen Sheng's confidant. He stole the opportunity to go to war. He was probably not just trying to make contributions. Perhaps, he was also accumulating his own strength, but the opportunity was not yet mature, so he dared not oppose Chen Sheng rashly, and he had to rely on Chen Sheng for the time being.

So why did Chen Le devote himself to his disciples? Is it another way the Chen family prepared? Gongwei felt that he was being used by someone, and his eyes slowly narrowed, and his eyes looked at Chen Le were a little unkind.

"General, do you think my Chen family is too sinister?" Chen Le's face remained unchanged. He poured himself a glass of wine, savored it with a delicious taste, and said calmly.

"Xiaoyao, I just think..." Gongwei smiled unnaturally, forcibly suppressed the murderous aura in his heart, and said with a little sarcastic feeling: "Your brother follows the king, and you follow me, aren't you afraid that one day the brothers will be killed?"

"Compared with the fate of the family, our fate is not worth considering at all." Chen Le smiled faintly, put down the wine glass in dismay, pondered for a moment, and then said sadly: "The fate of the children of the big clan has never been able to decide. This is the reason why I am unwilling to involve these things. However, in the face of the fate of the entire family, I cannot be outside. Xiaoyao? How can I really free and easy?"

Seeing the helplessness in Chen Le's eyes, Gongwei also felt that he was very pitiful. It was really a cruel thing for a person who yearned for freedom and a simple life to devote himself to dirty politics. He may not be as persistent as Qu Yuan, and he may not be as willing to be poor as Master, but his pain was real, especially when he knew that he might be enemies with his brother, his inner depression was imaginable.

"Maybe, you brothers don't have to kill each other." Gongwei raised his lips and smiled a little indifferently: "If your brother can control Qin Jia's troops and become a prince, whether he is loyal to the king or not, you brothers can fight side by side."

Chen Le raised his eyelids and looked at Gongwei intently, without saying a word for a long time. The room was silent, almost breathing. Although it was not very long, it was obviously very difficult for that period. Gongwei couldn't help but speak several times to break the suffocating silence, but when he spoke, he forced himself to hold it back. He knew that this might be the only chance to hear Chen Le's true words. If he missed this time, he would never be able to truly believe this person.

"General, do you want to hear the truth?" Chen Le's eyes were filled with sadness.

Gongwei didn't speak, but his eyes clearly told Chen Le that he had to listen to the truth and that he had to listen to a reasonable explanation why Chen Le would join his disciples and do things for him.

"First of all, neither of my brothers is the only general." Chen Le's voice was hoarse: "My brother, although he has been with his father for many years, he has never been able to satisfy his father. His father has no confidence in him. As for me, the general must also understand very well. I am only half a child of the Mo family, lazy by nature, and do not like this intrigue and conspiracy. The reason why my father chose the general was because although the general was brave and good at fighting, he did not kill indiscriminately and was both brave and kind. He was not like those noble children who were greedy for profit, nor like those Confucian scholars who were afraid of profit, and could absorb all academic studies and have their own opinions. My father believed that only a general who was ambitious but not too energetic can truly achieve great things. Only by following the general can my Chen family have a future."

Gongwei was silent for a long time before sighing. What Chen Le said was reasonable and the situation of the Chen brothers was basically a matter. Although he was a little unhappy about being regarded as an investment, he also knew that this was the true face of politics. There was no benefit, who would follow you?

"Boss Chen... has no confidence in the king?" Gongwei said hesitantly.

"The king is a hero, but unfortunately, he is too biased in his work." Chen Le shook his head regretfully: "He hated the nobles, so he refused to let the descendants of the six kingdoms take power, and only believed in his poor brothers. But he didn't know that there was nothing absolute in this world, neither absolutely unreliable nor absolutely reliable. Although the descendants of the six kingdoms had bad intentions, his poor brothers might not always be loyal to him. The death of Ge Ying does not mean that those people's ambitions can be suppressed. He is not a material for doing big things, but he is very conceited and cannot hear the advice of others. Dr. Kong Qiong repeatedly advised him to hold the heavy troops in his own hands and develop steadily, but he has never heard of them once."

Gongwei was shocked when he listened to Chen Le's words. If that were to be said, wouldn't the Chen family be disappointed with Chen Sheng? In this way, Chen Le joined his subordinates, and what could he do to help him avoid being destroyed with Chen Sheng?

"General, do you believe me now?" Chen Le tilted his mouth and looked at Gongwei with a slight sneer. He said what he could speak, but he also said what he couldn't speak. Now it depends on what Gongwei thought.

"Xiaoyao, what should I do?" Gongwei thought for a long time and suddenly asked.

Chen Le breathed a long sigh of relief, and a hint of relief smile bloomed from the corners of his eyes.

"General, prepare to go to the expedition." Chen Le straightened his waist and moved his body that had been stretched for too long: "My father has told his eldest sister that he would find an opportunity to advise the king and ask you to lead troops to the expedition. Whether the general can succeed depends on your own."

"With Xiaoyao, why am I worried about?" Gong Wei also relaxed his expression and smiled faintly.

"General..." Chen Le shook his head: "Although I have martial arts, I can't help with the war. At best, I can make some offensive and defensive equipment for you. If you want to attack and be invincible, you have to rely on the general himself."
