Tao Ying snorted in displeasure to express his dissatisfaction. Only then did Sun Qian come to his senses and hurriedly introduced Chen Deng: "This is Tao Ying, the second son of Xuzhou Mu, and this is Lu You. Fu Yang, Zhang Pan, Zuo Rong (also known as Weiming), Xue Li..." Chen Deng smiled at them friendly and said some polite words.
When the four people Cao Bao, Zhang Jie, Xu Dan and Cao Hong were introduced, Wen Chou on the side laughed disdainfully and said: "I don't know which guys said that Cao Cao was powerful and tried their best to persuade him to surrender. They also said that my military adviser He is just a liar who talks nonsense. There is no way that Cao Jun can be defeated by my military advisor. How about it? Now you are convinced. You cowards are the only ones who have the nerve to be nagging generals. Others’ armies haven’t even reached the door yet. You have to surrender, what a bunch of losers!"
"General, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Deng quickly stopped Wen Chou and smiled apologetically at Cao Bao, Zhang Jie, Xu Dan, and Cao Hong. Unexpectedly, the four of them turned their heads and ignored them. Ignore Chen Deng.
Chen Deng was slightly angry and hurriedly grabbed Wen Chou who was about to run away. He whispered to the four generals Yan Liang, Gao Lan, He Yi and He Man to stop him: "Don't be reckless, now is not the time."
Although the generals were restrained, the murderous intent directed at Cao Bao, Zhang Lie, Xu Dan, and Cao Hong did not change at all. The four men were trembling under the murderous intent, as if they were having cramps. Not long after, the most timid Cao Hong was so frightened that he urinated under the fierce murderous intent of the five generals.
Wen Chou smiled strangely and said: "Master Cao is a real hero. He can eat when he wants and poop when he wants. He is so heroic. Wen Chou admires Wen Chou!" Everyone laughed, and Cao Hong gave Wen Chou a resentful look and hurriedly asked him. Run to the house.
Tao Ying, Cao Bao, Xu Dan, Zhang Jie, Zhang Pan, Zuo Rong and others saw that they had lost face and walked away unhappily. Without the interference of these people, everyone relaxed and chatted happily. Under Chen Deng's deliberate actions, everyone became like old friends for many years in a short period of time, talking about everything.
Chen Deng also cleverly extracted some useful information from the crowd, and all of it was very beneficial to Zuo Aoran's move to take charge of Xuzhou. First of all, Tao Qian himself deliberately found a person with both ability and political integrity to help him. Governing Xuzhou.
The second is that Tao Qian's twins are incompatible with each other. The main reason for the disagreement is the problem of the Lord of Xuzhou, and then there is Miss Mi Zhen, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Xuzhou. The two of them have been fighting for Mi Zhen since they were sensible. Zhen Zhengfeng is jealous, and sometimes even takes violent action.
If he hadn't worried so much about these two children, Tao Qian might have been able to live for a few more years. Tao Qian tried every means, but he couldn't restore the broken friendship between the two brothers. Not only did they ignore Tao Qian, Their intentions only intensified. They thought that as long as they were in a high position, the beauties in their hearts would treat them personally.
The two of them set their sights on his father's official position as Xuzhou Mu. They were now on the same page. Tao Qian knew that if a hundred years later, no matter which child took his position, the other child would definitely not be good. This is one of the main reasons why Tao Qian gave up to Xuzhou.
The third is Cao Bao, the general of Yamen, and the two commanders of Danyang soldiers, Zhang Jian and Xu Dan. They control most of the military power in Xuzhou and act tyrannically, causing harm to the countryside. The people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. From the expressions of Sun Jian and others , Chen Deng could see that they were strongly dissatisfied with Cao Bao and others.
Mi Fang took Chen Deng and others to a relatively large mansion and said apologetically: "Mr. Tao is ill and cannot cleanse you. He asked me to take him to greet you. If you need anything, please feel free to ask. I'll go back and resume my duties first, then I'll take my leave."
As soon as Mi Fang, Sun Qian and others left, Wen Chou complained dissatisfiedly: "We worked hard to help them defeat Cao Cao, but those incompetent losers not only didn't take us seriously, but they were so unreasonable to the military advisor. I'm really angry." My writing is ugly, if the military advisor hadn’t stopped me, I would have cut off their heads!”
Chen Deng is not someone who can be bullied casually, but he knows how to control his emotions. Chen Deng smiled sinisterly and said to Wen Chou: "Don't worry, General Wen, Yuan Long will definitely make them look good. There is no need to rush things at the moment. Remember, before Cao Cao withdraws his troops, you must not have any conflict with anyone in Xuzhou."
Wen Chou didn't think highly of Chen Deng at first, thinking that Bingzhou was captured only by the sacrifice of his generals. However, after seeing Chen Deng's plan, Wen Chou still obeyed Chen Deng's words. Wen Chou nodded and said: "As long as If they don't mess with me, I'll just treat them like a load of disgusting dung and ignore them!" Hearing this, everyone laughed.
That night, Chen Deng called up Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, He Yi, and He Man who were sleeping, and together they mysteriously walked to the Danyang Cavalry camp temporarily stationed outside Xuzhou City. It was not until early morning that everyone returned radiantly. , but when they came back, when they looked at Chen Deng, their eyes were full of admiration.
One day later, Cao Cao led the civil and military ministers and an army of 100,000 troops to Xuzhou City. The officials and people of Xuzhou were greatly frightened. They stood on the city wall and looked at it. The densely packed tents could accommodate 200,000 troops!
In the Xuzhou City Council Hall, there was a sick old man sitting in the first seat. At this time, he seemed extremely isolated and helpless. The two sons beside him also looked around anxiously, hoping that others could think of something. Come up with a good idea.
The two groups under the meeting hall were quarreling fiercely. Cao Bao, Zhang Jie, Xu Dan, Zhang Pan, Zuo Rong and others advocated surrender, while Mi Fang, Sun Qian, Lu You, Fu Yang, Xue Li and others advocated coexistence and death with Xuzhou City. , Cao Hong was ill and recuperating, and without Cao Hong, who was the most articulate and articulate, Cao Bao and his group of warriors could not compete with Mi Fang, who was born as a businessman, and a group of scribes.
Tao Qian looked at the men in front of him and became angry. Tao Qian shouted angrily: "That's enough. We were so noisy before and we are still noisy now in front of outsiders. Don't you feel embarrassed? !" This shout shocked everyone present. They glanced at Tao Qian guiltily and bowed their heads in silence.
Yan Liang looked at Chen Deng, stepped forward and said to Tao Qian: "Don't worry, Mr. Tao, Liang is willing to lead three thousand soldiers out of the city to fight against Cao Cao."
Mi Fang, who was sitting under Tao Qian's command, said to Yan Liang: "Looking at the formation of Cao Cao's army outside, there are more than 200,000 soldiers. There are only less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City. How can General Yan with 3,000 soldiers be able to defeat Cao Cao's two soldiers?" One hundred thousand elite troops!"
Chen Deng's eyes shone with wisdom, and he analyzed calmly: "Cao Cao's development is indeed surprising, but it is absolutely impossible to bring out an army of 200,000 in one go, unless he doesn't want his own nest, which can only be 150,000 at most. It’s just soldiers and horses. After all, it’s impossible for all 150,000 soldiers to go into battle at once, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
A glimmer of life suddenly appeared in Tao Qian's heart, and he asked with joy: "Mr. Yuanlong defeated Cao's army the day before yesterday with a small victory over a large number and recaptured Xiaopei. I wonder if Mr. Yuanlong has any clever plan to defeat Cao again?"
Cao Bao shook his head and said: "Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry are rare elites. I have heard people say that the tiger and leopard cavalry are all the best in the world. Maybe if they are made up by a hundred people, they can be easily defeated!?"
"It is absolutely impossible to defeat Cao Cao!" Chen Deng looked at Tao Qian who looked gloomy, smiled mysteriously, and said confidently: "Leave Cao Cao to my master."
Tao Qian was overjoyed, stood up, bowed to Chen Deng, and asked, "Sir, do you have any clever ideas? Please save the people of Xuzhou. I will be grateful to you."
Chen Deng smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The secret must not be leaked. Mr. Tao will lend me 20,000 troops and horses, and you will know it when the time comes."
"Okay! Okay! I'll lend you Mr. Qian 20,000 troops!" Tao Qian said.
Cao Bao said sarcastically: "What secret cannot be leaked? I think you obviously don't know anything, and you are still pretending to know it. You don't know what it means!"
Chen Deng was not angry, and counterattacked: "Whether I know or I don't know, I know it in my heart anyway. If I say you can withdraw from Cao Cao, you can. If you don't have the ability to withdraw from Cao Cao, it doesn't mean that I don't have it. Are you afraid?"
Just because you die and beg for mercy from Cao Cao does not mean that the whole of Xuzhou will be like you, begging for mercy from the enemy who massacred your fellow villagers, relatives and friends."
"You..." Cao Bao's face was red with anger, but he was a simple-minded guy with underdeveloped limbs. How could he compare with the articulate Chen Deng? In just a few words, Chen Deng said it.
No place to be ashamed of.
Zhang Jie, who was sitting next to Cao Bao, came to Cao Bao's rescue and said, "Then we'll see you show off your skills. The safety of Xuzhou will be left to you."
This leads to Chen Deng’s first battle to become famous. In the next chapter, Chen Deng scolds Cao Cao in front of the battle formation. Yuan Longbu defeats Cao Cao’s army. Cao Cao attacks Xu Xin but Guo Jia’s repeated attempts to persuade him fail.
To save Tao, Chen Gongtai raised his troops to revolt, Lu Fengxian entered Yanzhou, and Cao Mengde abandoned Xu and returned to help.
