Liu Pi and Gong both explained what happened to them. Lin Feng's eyes widened as he listened.
There is no hint of any unexpected surprises after completing this task.
It turned out that Liu Pi and his remaining brothers from Gongdu fled from the Yuan family in Runan in a panic. They did not dare to stay in Runan for a while, so they followed the Huishui River northward and fled all the way into Pei County.
This team came from the Yellow Turban Army, and they came from poor people who suffered from hunger and cold. They were able to enjoy wealth and endure hardships.
In the face of lack of food and clothing, not only did they not get upset, but they became more united because they shared the difficulties together.
Everyone followed Liu Pi and Gong Du for a long time. They knew each other well and supported each other into Pei County. They went upstream until they reached Feiting County before quietly landing.
The original plan was to take advantage of the sparse population and meager troops near Feiting County to attack a large force, rob Feiting County, and save more money and food to prepare for a comeback in the future.
As a result, the brothers lurked in the dense forest in the western suburbs outside the county seat. While waiting for dark, they happened to encounter two teams, Chen Deng and Chen Gong, who had arranged to have a secret meeting here.
Originally, it was not unusual for Cao's army to meet Xuzhou soldiers and horses. Liu Pi even thought that if the two armies met and fought, and both sides lost, they should take advantage of each other and become fishermen who benefit from the snipe and the clam.
Liu Pi observed from a distance in the dense forest for a long time before identifying the leaders of the two families from the flags.
Although Chen Deng and Chen Gong both had the surname Chen, there was no relationship between the two Chens. The two almost hostile parties met in person near Feiting for a secret discussion. There must be something fishy about it.
Fortunately, the secret discussion between Chen Deng and Chen Gong didn't last long. After only two hours, Chen Gong happily led his troops to withdraw from Peijun's territory and return to Liangjun.
Chen Deng, on the other hand, led his troops to camp outside Feiting City, preparing to spend the night before leaving.
Now Liu Pi is a bit confused, does Fei Ting still want to fight?
Liu Pi and Gong Du discussed for a long time, and finally decided to capture Chen Deng's troops outside the city first, and then send their troops to attack Feiting County and plunder them.
After all, Chen Deng was about to become the prefect of Pei County appointed by Tao Qian. In his own territory, he had not many soldiers with him, only more than 300 soldiers.
Staying up until midnight, Liu Pi and Gong Du led their troops quietly out of the dense forest and quickly rushed towards Chen Deng's camp.
Chen Deng was careless.
With the wisdom and strategy of Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, the camp would not have been attacked by Liu Pi and Gong Du.
But everything has its destiny. Poor Chen Deng has always been known for his cautiousness. Once his long-cherished wish came true, he lost his usual vigilance in excitement.
In addition, he was in Peijun at this time, and he already regarded himself as the lord of Peijun. Thinking that he was in one-third of an acre of his own land, he not only camped carelessly in the wilderness outside the city, but also did not place enough
sentry.
Liu Pi led his army to raid Chen Deng at night
The camp was unexpectedly stormed down with a drum, which made Chen Deng run away with his head in his arms, and he fled in a hurry under the protection of more than ten close guards.
After winning a battle, collecting spoils is what you deserve.
Gong Du focused on the money, food and baggage of the army, while Liu Pi packed up all the documents and seals in Chen Deng's tent and took them away.
After looking through it carefully, Liu Pi found something remarkable.
It was a bunch of letters written by Chen Gong and Cao Cao to Chen Deng. Judging from the content, it should be a secret letter of exchange and discussion between the two parties.
These should be part of Chen Deng's documents that he didn't have time to take away after he was attacked.
Liu Pi read the letters carefully one by one and suddenly discovered the shocking secret.
Chen Deng, representing the Chen family in Xuzhou, had secretly turned to Chen Liu and betrayed Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou.
According to the content of the letter, it is speculated that the Chen family was dissatisfied because Tao Qian belonged to Liu Bei, the governor of Lu County, and planned to hand over Xuzhou to Liu Bei a hundred years later.
In the eyes of the Chen family, Tao Qian was the official governor of Xuzhou appointed by the imperial court. He held a high and powerful position. It was natural for the Chen family to be in the Tao family.
But what the hell is Liu Bei?
A mere mat weaver and shoe seller, who was lucky enough to earn some fame in troubled times, pretended to be Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and then shamelessly pretended to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
I don’t know what went wrong with Tao Qian’s mind, but he believed Liu Bei’s words so much that he not only left all political and military affairs in Lu and Dongguan counties in Liu Bei’s hands, but also stated in public several times that he would wait for him a hundred years later
, Xuzhou will not be handed over to the descendants of the Tao family, but Liu Bei will take over as the governor of Xuzhou.
However, Tao Qian's reason was too weird. He believed that Liu Bei was kind-hearted and would not let the people of Xuzhou suffer from the sword.
Chen Deng was so angry at this that the three corpses jumped up and smoked. Liu Bei's family was kind-hearted, and the old Chen family was a good family!
After several attempts to persuade him failed, Chen gave up on Tao Qian and secretly sent people to contact Chen Liu to discuss surrender.
This time Chen Deng came to Feiting County to finalize specific matters with Chen Gong.
The two parties agreed that once Tao Qian passed away and Liu Bei tried to take control of Xuzhou, Cao Jun could, under the guidance of the Chen family's internal officers, press the border and force into Xuzhou, annihilating Liu Bei's army or driving it out of Xuzhou.
After Cao Jun takes control of Xuzhou, Chen Gui must be given the post of governor of Xiapi. At present, Cao Jun's forces must withdraw from Pei County to show weakness to Tao Qian.
Of course, if Tao Qian's son inherits Xuzhou in the future, or Tao Qian appoints the Chen family to take charge of it, all the above plans will be invalidated, and both sides will compete for Xuzhou based on their own abilities. Whether it is a mule or a horse, they can be dragged out on the battlefield.
It was precisely because Liu Pi inexplicably seized these confidential letters that Chen Deng went crazy and surrounded him on all sides in Pei County.
Liu Pi and Gong Du finally had to lead their brothers
The brothers hid in the deserted Liushan Mountains and lived a life of hungry and impoverished savages.
Liu Pi's explanation also made Lin Feng understand. No wonder Cao Dabailian gave up Peijun so happily. It turned out that he secretly had a shady deal with Chen Deng. Anyway, Peijun was in the hands of Chen Deng and Cao Jun.
The difference is not too big.
Poor fellow student Lao Tao still regards the Xuzhou Chen family as loyal and virtuous, relying on the Chen family and his son as his right-hand man, but he doesn't know that he has been put on the scale by the Chen family and sold to Cao Dabailian at an extremely cheap price.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly realized something.
He seemed to have tricked the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.
When he was about to leave the Mi family that day, he gave Mi Zhu an idea. Mi Zhu pretended to help Chen Deng obtain the post of governor of Pei County, and then gave Chen Deng some eye drops from Tao Qian to frame him for conspiring with Cao Cao.
Borrow Tao Qian's help to deal with Chen Deng.
But now Chen Deng has already climbed onto the big white face's thigh. No matter how much Mi Zhu instigates in front of Tao Qian, Chen Deng only needs to perform one or two casual scenes with Cao Jun to make Mi Zhu not human inside and outside. In Tao Qian's eyes, Chen Deng can
He turned into a treacherous villain in front of him.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly. The Mi family was already in a precarious situation, but he misjudged the situation again. If the brothers of the Mi family made the slightest mistake or went astray, they would have to report it to Xiapi.
Liu Pi didn't know why Lin Feng was distressed, and thought he was worried about Chen Deng.
"Don't worry, my lord, our brothers have traveled around the world for many years. Since we dare to hide in the Liushan area, we are sure that Chen Yuanlong will not find us hiding."
Lin Feng shook his head: "I'm not worried about Chen Deng, but I'm worried about the Mi brothers in Xiapi."
"Xiapi Mi's family? What my lord is talking about is the family of Mi Zhu, a great merchant who is well-known in Xuzhou?"
"Yes, a certain person has an old relationship with the Mi family. He was a guest at the Mi family some time ago. Before leaving, a certain person misjudged the situation and suggested that Mi Zhu frame Chen Deng in front of Tao Qian for colluding with Cao Ying. Unexpectedly, Chen Deng
He has actually turned to Chen Liu, and now the Mi family will be in trouble."
Gong Du interrupted at the side: "My lord, don't panic. If you are worried about the safety of the Mi family, I am willing to lead a team of brothers to go to Xiapi and take the entire Mi family out of Xiapi."
Liu Pi was so angry that his hands trembled: "Shut up, Xiapi is Tao Qian's old lair. There are many soldiers and the city is fortified. How can it be a place where you can easily lead your troops?"
Guan Ping covered his mouth and snickered. Although he was still young, he had been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child and was no stranger to the battlefield.
Just as Liu Pi said, if Gong Du really dares to lead his army to Xiapi, he will be killed by the Xiapi garrison before he comes into contact with the Mi brothers.
Thinking about it, if the capital of a state can be easily reached by someone with an army, wouldn't it be like meat on a chopping board? Anyone can come and cut a piece of it and eat it back.
On the contrary, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing Gong Du's words, and he patted Gong Du on the shoulder happily: "That's good! I feel very relieved."
