"Okay, needless to say, I understand. Did Yuan Gongli send you here to bring my lord to death, or to disperse his troops and leave him alone?"
As Chen Gong's chief planner, Dian Wei already knew the result before he even spoke. The second question he asked at the same time made Dian Wei stunned again.
"What difference does it make?
If Liu Bei wants to fight, his troops will fight too."
Dianwei thought for a moment and came up with an answer.
"Haha, I know."
Dian Wei was so quickly deceived by Chen Gong, and he knew it so well. Are you one of the 100,000 who know it?
"To tell you the truth, after leaving the city, my lord has already gone to Dongjun under the escort of cavalry to meet with the old general Zhu Jun. You can't catch up if you want to, so you might as well retreat and take down the only thing under my lord's command.
Twenty thousand fine steps, what do you think?"
Dian Wei was completely confused by Chen Gong now, but I have to say that Chen Gong was very smart. Although he did not leave with Liu Bei, he could guess that Liu Bei would never choose to go to Zhu Jun under the current situation, so he
He would say that Liu Bei went to find Zhu Jun,
In this case, even if Dian Wei wants to pursue, he will go in the direction he wants. It will take several days to reach Dongjun at the speed of the cavalry. By then, they will realize that chasing Liu Bei is simply a mirror image.
"Then what do you mean?"
Dian Wei thought for a moment and looked at Chen Gong again with wide eyes.
"What I mean is very obvious. As long as you can ensure the safety of my soldiers and horses, you can let them return to Lu County with you. In this way, you can achieve a great success without any effort, and they can also avoid death. Why bother?
Why not?"
Chen Gong's words made Dian Wei frown tightly. He really couldn't guess how true or false Chen Gong's words were.
"You wait for me to discuss it."
Dian Wei felt that his brain was running out, so after saying a few words, he rode directly to find Xu Huang.
"How to say?"
Xu Huang looked at the worried Dian Wei and frowned involuntarily.
"He said that Liu Bei led his cavalry to leave the army when he left the city and went towards Zhu Jun. If we wanted to pursue him, we would never be able to catch up. So now, in order to save the lives of these people, he promised me that as long as we can spare these people, he
We all have lives, so we can lead our troops to surrender."
Regarding Dian Wei, Xu Huang's brows furrowed even more. If it were the bottom of a towel, the water in it would have been squeezed out by now.
"What he said must be true or false, but it must be true that Liu Bei is not in the formation, so he left these troops to snipe us, because we are cavalry, and carrying infantry is a burden, and sooner or later we will catch up.
"
Xu Huang glanced at Dian Wei. The only thing that could be confirmed about Chen Gong's words was this. As for where Liu Bei would go and when he would leave, he was really not sure.
"So what do we do now?"
If you ask him to charge into battle, he will be fearless, but now it will be difficult for him to face the situation in front of him, so he can only turn to Xu Huang next to him.
"what to do?
In fact, my lord may have considered the current situation and it would be difficult to keep Liu Bei, so he set a goal with us, which is to disperse Liu Bei's army and not leave him any troops.
Now that this is the case, we might as well take down Liu Bei's army in front of us first. After they all disarm, we will detach five thousand cavalry to follow me to Dongjun. If we can catch up with Liu Bei, that's fine. If we can't, then give up.
.”
Faced with the current predicament, Xu Huang still chose a relatively stable strategy, first capturing Liu Bei's army in front of him, and then dividing his forces to pursue Chen Gong.
"Well, I think it's possible, so let's do it."
Dian Wei also nodded, then rode his horse back to Chen Gong.
"Chen Gong, if I guarantee the safety of you people, can you really let your troops surrender?"
Looking at Chen Gong, Dian Wei asked directly.
"As long as you have this heart, I have the confidence to make them surrender."
After hearing Dian Wei's words, Chen Gong knew that the matter was settled.
"Okay, I'll wait for you for a quarter of an hour. If they surrender after a quarter of an hour, they can be safe. If they still don't make a choice after a quarter of an hour, then fight."
Dian Wei finished speaking and rode back, while Chen Gong smiled slightly, shook his head and rode back too.
"Commander, how are you doing?
How should we fight?"
Seeing Chen Gong coming back, Zhou Feng went directly to his side.
"Zhou Feng, do you believe me?"
Chen Gong looked directly at Zhou Feng again, because the scene played by Liu Bei just now had been deeply impressed in the eyes of these people, and it would be difficult for him to lead them to surrender.
"Of course I believe you, didn't you already agree just now?"
Looking at Chen Gong, Zhou Feng was stunned again. Weren't these things already agreed upon just now?
"Okay then, declare the surrender of the troops."
Chen Gong slowed down for a moment and spoke his choice softly.
"Okay, no, what did you say?
surrender?"
This time Zhou Feng was either stunned or stupid. He didn't understand why Chen Gong wanted them to surrender.
"That's right, it's surrender. Can you accept it?"
Chen Gong looked straight at Zhou Feng.
"Why?
Why surrender?
Do you want us to abandon our lord?
I don't agree."
Facing Chen Gong, Zhou Feng couldn't accept it and even became hysterical.
"I'm not asking you to abandon the lord. Listen to me. The current situation is different from what you imagined. When the lord leaves, the enemy can completely ignore us and carry out large-scale maneuvers to bypass us and pursue the lord.
So if we surrender now, we can first contain them for some time,
Secondly, they have to devote a lot of energy to look after us with so many surrendered troops. Even if they want to pursue the lord, they can only send half of the troops at most.
Once again, I have given them a wrong direction. He does not dare to divide his troops to pursue them without enough troops, so the most likely thing is to pursue them in the direction I gave them, so as to ensure the safety of the lord to the greatest extent.
In the end, as long as we are alive, when the Lord returns, it will be a secret move by the Lord, which will be of great use in future battles, do you understand?"
Chen Gong's pros and cons analysis stunned the hysterical Zhou Feng. He originally only wanted to fight, fight, and go all out, but he never thought that surrendering would have so many benefits. If he was really like Chen Gong
As the saying goes, surrendering is better than fighting, so why bother?
"Military advisor, is it really what you said?
Will surrender ensure the lord’s safe departure?”
"Well, if you believe me, I will surrender. If you don't believe me, my lord will be in danger."
Chen Gong doesn't have anything good to say now. After all, these people already have aspirations to die, and the only thing that can persuade them now is Liu Bei's safety.
"Okay, I believe you."
Zhou Feng thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded to Chen Gong.
"Okay, then I'll go out now, and I'll hold off for as long as I can."
