Yuan Shu led his troops from Shouchun, crossed Yingshui, arrived at Xiacai, and then attacked Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
This time, Yuan Shu was sure to win. He gathered an army of 50,000 men, with Li Feng and Qiao Rui as the vanguard generals, and attacked Xuzhou with great momentum and high spirits.
Yuan Shu both loved and hated Chen Gong.
Because talents under Yuan Shu were scarce and Chen Gong had great talents, Yuan Shu wanted to take them for his own use. This was Yuan Shu's favorite aspect of Chen Gong. However, Chen Gong looked down on Yuan Shu and thought that Yuan Shu was not even as good as Lu Bu. This made Yuan Shu
His teeth itched with hatred. After all, he, Yuan Shu, was also born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third generations. Lu Bu was just a slave of the third surname. How could he be compared with him?
When Yuan Shu was marching, he was still thinking about how to deal with Chen Gong?
According to Yuan Shu's thinking, the death of Lu Bu caused Xuzhou to lose its leader and lose its combat effectiveness. In this case, Xuzhou is in his pocket. After the army arrives, Xuzhou will definitely defeat itself.
In fact, Yuan Jun sang loudly all the way, and no one could resist him wherever he went.
Therefore, the more Yuan Shu rushed to Xuzhou, the more excited he became.
Just when Yuan Shu led his troops to Xuzhou, the situation in Pengcheng had become tense. Especially the wealthy families in the city began to take action in private to plan for the future of their families.
Chen Mansion, in the hall.
Chen Gong sat on the main seat, with Chen Gui and Chen Deng sitting below.
Chen Gui is the leader of a wealthy family in Pengcheng.
The big families in Pengcheng are headed by Chen Gui, and Chen Deng is Chen Gui's son. The two came to Chen's house together, ostensibly to discuss matters with Chen Gong, but secretly they were forcing Chen Gong to achieve their goals.
Chen Gui said with a smile: "Brother Gongtai, Yuan Shu has led his troops to attack, but Gongtai is not in a hurry. Why? Could it be that Gongtai is preparing to surrender to Yuan?"
Chen Gong avoided answering and asked instead: "Yuan Shu led his troops to attack. Of course I am very anxious. I don't know what brother Han Yu has to do to repel the enemy. Please give me some advice."
Hanyu is Chen Gui’s character.
Chen Gui stroked his long beard under his chin and thought to himself: Facing the large army, Chen Gong was really helpless. But Chen Gui thought about it and felt that he could think of contacting other princes. Could it be that Chen Gong couldn't think of it?
Chen Gui was full of doubts and slowly analyzed in his mind the princes that Chen Gong might choose.
First of all, it is definitely impossible for Cao Cao to be selected by Chen Gong, because Chen Gong was Cao Cao's subordinate from the beginning and defected from Cao Cao's command. As for Liu Bei, Chen Gong and Liu Bei also have a big feud. If Liu Bei loses Xuzhou, Chen Gong will
It was planned by one hand, so it was impossible for Chen Gong to submit to Liu Bei.
In addition, the only ones bordering Xuzhou are Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Yuan Shu of Yangzhou.
Liu Biao stood still, obviously unable to become Chen Gong's arm.
The only possibility is Yuan Shu.
Chen Gui felt that his guess was correct, but he did not know that the real person had been eliminated by him. With a smile on his face, he said slowly: "Gongtai, Yuan Shu relied on his birth to be the fourth generation and the third prince, but this person has nothing but appearances. If he is Gongtai
It will be difficult to display one's talents by taking refuge in Yuan Shu. Therefore, in my opinion, there is a way out by asking Cao Cao to lead troops to rescue Xuzhou."
Chen Gong raised his eyebrows and immediately understood Chen Gui's intention.
The old man wanted to have a relationship with Cao Cao and become Cao Cao's man.
After Chen Gui finished speaking, Chen Deng said loudly: "Commander Chen, the Xuzhou army is without Lu Bu, its morale is low, and the army has no combat effectiveness. If we don't invite Duke Cao to rescue, it will be difficult to stop Yuan Shu!"
After a pause, Chen Deng continued: "Deng knows that Military Advisor Chen and Duke Cao have old grudges, but Lu Bu is already dead. As long as Military Advisor Chen is willing to offer Xuzhou and Duke Cao gets the land of Xuzhou, he will definitely not care about the old grudges.
When the time comes, if my father and son put in a few nice words for Military Advisor Chen, maybe Duke Cao will reward Military Advisor Chen heavily. I wonder what Military Advisor Chen wants?"
Chen Gong took a deep breath, with a look of hesitation on his face.
The expression on his face seemed to be moved, but his heart was filled with strong murderous intent.
Chen Gong wants Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou safely, and Chen Gui and his son are undoubtedly a huge obstacle in front of them. In the eyes of Chen Gui and Chen Deng, Chen Gong is the one who caused Liu Bei to lose Xuzhou, so Chen Gong cannot join Liu Bei, but
Unexpectedly, Chen Gong and Liu Bei have already had contact. As long as Liu Bei sends troops, Yuan Shu's army will be destroyed without attack.
Chen Gong's heart was like a mirror, but he said: "Cao Cao is a ruthless person, and I'm afraid he is not a wise master. If I defect to him, Cao Cao will kill me and then kill my lord's family, wouldn't it be..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Deng interrupted Chen Gong and interrupted: "Chen, military advisor, don't worry, Duke Cao has promised not to kill the military advisor and Lu Bu's family?"
When Chen Gui heard this, he immediately glared at Chen Deng.
Chen Gong's eyes widened with horror as he asked: "Brother Han Yu, have you already contacted Cao Cao?"
In front of Chen Gong, Chen Gui knew that he couldn't hide it, and seeing that Chen Gong was beginning to be tempted, Chen Gui nodded and replied: "After Yuan Shu raised his army, Cao Cao sent someone to Pengcheng to contact me, hoping to persuade Gongtai to return to Yanzhou.
.As long as the public platform can be dedicated to Xuzhou, Cao Cao will not only not punish him, but will also reward him generously."
Chen Gong sighed and frowned into the character "Chuan".
He thought for a while and said: "The matter is of great importance. I must discuss it with the two mistresses before making a decision. After the two of you are in the hall, I will immediately go to see the two mistresses and inquire about it."
After finishing speaking, Chen Gong stood up and walked out of the hall.
Chen Deng said: "Commander Chen, you have the military and political power in Xuzhou, do you still have to look at the faces of two women?"
Chen Gong suddenly stopped and stared at Chen Deng with a cold expression and an angry look in his eyes. Seeing that Chen Gong was angry, Chen Gui hurriedly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Brother Gongtai, go ahead.
Go and come back quickly, my father and son are here waiting for your good news, and I hope the public broadcaster can bring you happy news."
Chen Gong glanced at Chen Gui, then at Chen Deng, and shouted: "Since you are a junior, I won't argue with you."
He flicked his sleeves, turned and left the hall.
After Chen Gong's back disappeared, Chen Deng looked at Chen Gui and said, "Dad, Chen Gong is so benevolent as a woman. He has already taken control of the military and political power in Xuzhou, but he still has to ask two women for instructions. It's useless."
When speaking, Chen Deng's face was full of disdain, and he looked down upon Chen Gong's actions.
Chen Guixiao said: "Lü Bu relied heavily on Chen Gong during his lifetime and was kind to Chen Gong. Now that Lü Bu has passed away, it is normal for Chen Gong to respect Lü Bu's family. We are just waiting here for the news. There is no rush."
After finishing speaking, Chen Gui closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Chen Deng pouted, still looking down on Chen Gong in his heart.
If Chen Gong had not controlled the military and political power in Xuzhou and the soldiers in Pengcheng, Chen Deng would have already persuaded Chen Gui to capture Chen Gong and then dedicate Xuzhou to Cao Cao.
In the hall, only Chen Gui and Chen Deng were left.
The two father and son looked at each other in silence, but they were both thinking about Xuzhou.
Time passed, and half an hour later, Chen Gong had not returned yet.
Chen Deng frowned and had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
Chen Gong's residence is not far from Lu Bu's Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. If you ride on horseback, it only takes half an hour, and even if you ride in a carriage, it will only take a little longer. Half an hour is enough for Chen Gong to complete everything.
Deng felt something bad in his heart and said, "Dad, will Chen Gong deceive us?"
Chen Gui said: "The situation is not conducive to Chen Gong. How could he dare to lie? I think it was Lu Bu's family members who did not agree, so that delayed the time. We just need to wait." After a pause, Chen Gui said again: "Yuan Long
Ah, you are still not good at cultivating your qi. You need to be calm and don't be impatient."
Yuanlong is Chen Deng's character.
After hearing Chen Gui's words, Chen Deng nodded respectfully and said, "What my father taught me is that my son is a little impetuous." Even so, Chen Deng still felt that something was wrong.
