In fact, Xiapi should have received the news earlier. However, the main transportation channel to the south of Xuzhou was Surabaya. Surabaya will eventually merge into the Huaihe River. Now the entire Huaihe River is occupied by Gan Ning. Pianfan
If you can't go north, it's strange that Xiapi can get the news so quickly!
At this moment, Xiapi City is in chaos, and everyone is in danger. The most serious one is the Chen family. Ever since he knew that the Han army was marching north along the Huaihe River, Chen Deng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Because now the communication with my hometown in Guangling is completely cut off.
However, even if you think about it with your toes, since the Han army used naval forces to divide the north and the south, it is strange that several big cities such as Guangling City on the north bank of the Yangtze River can succeed.
When Cao Cao came to Xuzhou, the Chen family's contribution was second only to the Cao family. But Cao Bao is dead, and the Chen family has benefited the most. He has now reached the position of Xuzhou governor, but the foundation of the Chen family is still in Guangling County, with family property and fields.
, relatives and friends, dad...
How could this keep him from being anxious? What he, Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, was working so hard on was not just for the prosperity of his family. If his family was gone, he would think this official was useless!
This kind of thought is the mainstream thought of most people in this era, and even in the future. Family and country are the first, and family is the first. Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.
In fact, this is still the mainstream idea in modern society. To this day, cadres above the department level must have a family. Once there is a problem in the family, they basically cannot get promotion.
As long as I leave my family behind and do it for everyone...well...
so……
"Huaipu and Huaiyin must be taken back!" Chen Deng looked at everyone present with firm eyes.
Chen Deng's subordinates, Cao Yu of the Cao family, Wang Lang of the Wang family, and Zhang He of the Zhang family, all looked at each other. They all understood what the other party was thinking and kept silent. However, the generals, Zhang Fan, Han Hao, and Shi Huan frowned.
These three people are all Cao Cao's generals. They stayed in the army after the battle between Xuzhou and Wang Xuan. Xuzhou's military generals are really good enough. It is natural for the Xuzhou family to take back their military power.
I also understand that everyone silently accepted it under the pressure of the Han army.
Zhang Fan cupped his fists and saluted Chen Deng and said, "Young Master, I don't know, but it's not that we don't want to send troops, but that Wei Yan of Donghai County is eyeing him. We are afraid that after sending troops, Xiapi will be empty and the enemy will take advantage of it."
"Yes, Mr. Fu." Han Hao also added: "Xiapi is the gateway to the east of Suiyang. Once Xiapi is lost, the gate to the east of Suiyang will be wide open, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Damn it, I don’t know how unbearable it is to lose Xiapi, but I know how unbearable it is to lose Guangling!
Of course, Chen Deng also imagined these words in his mind, but his face didn't show anything at all. From the beginning to the end, he would not mention Guangling.
"How could I not know what the three generals are worried about?" Chen Deng's expression did not change. He just sighed and got up and came to the map. The prefect pointed to the position of the Huaihe River and said: "Look, three generals, the Huaihe River is not just a river.
It flows through my Xuzhou."
"With Gan Ning's speed, he must have entered Jiujiang County at this moment. Once he captures Dangtu, Xiacai, and Shouchun, the consequences may not be much better."
"From Dangtu, you can go north along the Shuiguoshui, pass Longkang, Chengfu, Qiaoxian and reach Suiyang. There is no danger to defend on this road. You can also use the power of the Shuiguo to transport grain and grass to Han
The power of the army and navy combined with the emptiness of the Central Plains, one disadvantage is the overwhelming power of heaven."
(I’m sorry, this word is so hard to find. After searching for half an hour, Baidu Chinese didn’t even include it. I don’t know what to pronounce.)
"This..." The three of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while. From Xiapi to Suiyang, there is Pengcheng, Xiaoxian to defend, and Dangshan to defend. From Suiyang to Dangtu, there is only Tu.
The mountain is still in Dangtu County.
What's more, Qiao County can't be lost. It's the Yuzhou Prefecture, and it's also Boss Cao's hometown. If it's lost, they can't escape the blame. In the final analysis, Gan Ning was able to fight there only because of Xuzhou.
Lost the pot of Huaipu and Huaiyin.
Not to mention whether Gan Ning had the ability to conquer Suiyang, but even if they caused a disturbance outside the gate of Qiao County, they could not escape the blame.
As for whether Gan Ning had the courage to do such a risky thing... No one, including the three of them, had ever considered that everyone in the world knew Gan Ning's name and his achievements.
So no matter what, the three of them can't get rid of this pot. All that's left is to make the pot look cleaner.
Seeing that the three of them were still hesitant, Chen Deng continued to rub fire, "In addition, the opportunity must not be missed before it comes. If Gan Ning is allowed to capture Shouchun, it will be equivalent to gaining a foothold in Jiujiang County. In this way, the army can
Transfer back and patrol the Huaihe River back and forth. By then, even with thousands of troops and horses, it will be difficult to cross the Huaihe River without the support of the navy."
"As for Xiapi, after all, the city has high walls and a moat. Even if there are only 10,000 troops, do the three generals still think they can't stop Wei Yan!"
There is a saying that it is better to provoke a general than to invite him. In the end, Chen Deng directly provoked the three of them.
"It's just Wei Yan, we won't take it seriously!" Shi Huan was the most unirritated and directly agreed, "Xiapi is not so easy to conquer. With the defensive equipment and food stored in the city, we can hold on for a year and a half.
It won't be a problem to carry it out, I'm really looking forward to Wei Yan coming to attack the city. When Wei Yan is exhausted from attacking the city, if we cooperate inside and outside, we can definitely capture it in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" Chen Deng clapped his hands and laughed, "General Shi is indeed brave and brave!"
If Wang Xuan hears these words, he will just sigh, this is not Shi, this is obviously asking for shit... Who gave you the courage to think that Wei Yan is nothing more than this!
However, Wei Yan's reputation is really not good now. Although he is also a military commander who shows off his power, but because he has been under Guan Yu's command, his glory has been overshadowed by Guan Yu, and he has not yet become famous in the world. Of course, now that Guan Yu is not around, Wei Yan
That's not a bad thing.
Chen Deng had made such clear arrangements for the three of them, and Shi Huan had already agreed. After thinking about it for a moment, the other two found that there was indeed no loophole. The worst result was just a fight with Wei Yan, so that was it.
There was nothing to hesitate about, so I agreed immediately.
Upon seeing this, Chen Deng was overjoyed and ordered to go down and hold a banquet in order to build momentum for the three generals.
At the banquet, everyone drank from cup to cup and had a great time. Chen Deng did his best for the three of them, even sacrificing his face. His mouth looked like it was blooming. He didn't consider the three people's ability to bear it, and drank poisonous milk every mouthful.
He stopped pouring it on the three of them.
Early the next morning, the three of them prepared their troops and horses. Shi Huan was still responsible for defending the city. The other two commanded 20,000 troops and horses to go down the Surabaya River. Although Xuzhou did not have a navy, but if it was just transporting supplies and food, the merchant ships were
No shortage.
Coupled with Chen Deng's help, more than a hundred merchant ships borrowed from a large family were requisitioned. With a large amount of grain, grass, siege equipment and accessories, the army set off towards the two cities of Huaipu in a mighty manner.
Chen Deng's every move was under careful surveillance. When hosting a banquet for three people, there would always be servants waiting on him and dancers performing songs and dances. The conversation between the banquet members would be spread on the same day.
Got out.
As a result, when the city gate opened the next day, someone flew away early and sent all the relevant information to Wei Yan who was ambushing outside the city.
