Chapter 798: Liu Bei's Suspicion

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "My lord, could it be that the aristocratic family in the city secretly communicated the song with Cao Jun?" Jian Yong whispered.

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head for a long time, "That's not the case. The Xuzhou family has a deep enmity with Cao Cao. In the past, when the Cao army attacked Xuzhou, the family did a lot of work. If they choose to join Cao Cao, they will not get too much. There are many benefits, and if the aristocratic family takes refuge in Cao Cao, why didn’t they act when Cao’s army attacked Xuzhou last year.”

Jian Yong also nodded when he heard the words. For some reason, Jian Yong has always been a little distrustful of Xuzhou's aristocratic family. He feels that the existence of these people has largely excluded the civil servants and generals who followed Liu Bei at first. Everywhere, there will be camp divisions, and the officials under the princes are no exception.

For example, Sun Qian, although he is trusted by Liu Bei, still lacks background in Xuzhou. The aristocratic families in the city are an extremely tyrannical force. Even if it's too short, I dare not shake the aristocratic family in the city.

Sometimes, Liu Bei even wondered what kind of changes would happen to Xuzhou if Lu Bu was allowed to enter Xuzhou. With Lu Bu's character, would the aristocratic families continue to run rampant in Xuzhou? Going too far, secretly hoarding rice and raising the price of food, the people in Pengcheng suffered a lot.

So what can Liu Bei do? Could it be that he imitated Lu Bu's method and eradicated all these aristocratic families from Xuzhou? If this is the case, he would have been driven away by Xuzhou's aristocratic families before Cao Jun attacked Xuzhou. In fact, Liu Bei envied Lu Bu very much, because Lu Bu had an army loyal to him, he also owned the Jinyang Academy, and under his command were resourceful men like Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

"My lord, don't underestimate Xuzhou's aristocratic family. These people can do anything for profit." Jian Yong reminded.

"Xianhe, pay close attention to the movements of the aristocratic families in the city. If there is anything unusual, you can cut it first and play later." Liu Bei said.

Jian Yong cupped his hands to say hello, and left quickly.

The mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is all over the building. Pengcheng is once again shrouded in the shadow of war. This is the third time. Cao Jun will attack Xuzhou once a year. Even ordinary people cannot bear it. Whether it is war or not, the people are They need food, but during the war, the gates of the city are closed, and the source of livelihood they rely on is cut off by the war. It is far from enough to count on some food and surplus money at home. Whenever there is a war, the rice and grain in the city The price will skyrocket. Usually, a hundred renminbi can buy a stone of rice and grain, but in a war, it may cost 300 renminbi.

In the beginning, Liu Bei’s means of instigating the people may still be useful, and Liu Bei is sincerely doing good for the people of Xuzhou, and he has a good prestige among the people. When Liu Zhoumu is mentioned, the people will also praise him, However, when Xuzhou fell into the quagmire of war, who would the people blame for all this? Before Cao Jun attacked Xuzhou, he said that everything was in charge of Xuzhou's state pastoral mansion, and had nothing to do with ordinary soldiers and civilians.

Anyone with a little resourcefulness will see the mental retardation of this sentence, but ordinary people will believe it. They do not desire war and hope to have a stable life. This has not changed.

The army in the city has reached 40,000, but the atmosphere in the army is not very good. Many soldiers are even talking in low voices. The main reason is that Cao Jun offered a reward. If he can kill Liu Bei, he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold. Or killing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is also a reward of ten thousand gold.

In terms of official positions, Cao Cao is just a shepherd in Yanzhou, and the matter of being named a marquis is up to the court, but this cannot prevent the soldiers from discussing in private. Wanjin and being named a marquis are what many soldiers dream of.

Chen Deng also felt a little danger from Liu Bei's subtle attitude, and he was relatively low-key during this period.

"Yuanlong, the Chen family is well-known in Xuzhou. I heard that your father is at home. I wonder if I can invite him to the state pastoral mansion. The Yanzhou army will arrive in Xuzhou soon. This is the time when Xuzhou is under siege." Liu Bei said.

Chen Deng thought for a while and agreed. If he refused, it would definitely arouse Liu Bei's suspicion. On the surface, Liu Bei seemed generous, but Chen Deng, who had been in contact with Liu Bei for a while, found that this was not the case. How can a person who is in the position of State Shepherd be Yi Yi's generation? Generosity is only shown by Liu Bei to ordinary soldiers and civilians.

Seeing that Chen Deng agreed, Liu Bei's doubts eased a little. He valued Chen Deng very much, and when he entered Xuzhou, the Chen family did not hesitate to help him. Chen Deng himself is a talented person, perhaps in terms of strategy There is some gap with the top strategists of Cao Jun, but they are much stronger than the strategists under his command.

"Yuanlong, there are internal and external troubles in Xuzhou. Langxie Zangba doesn't obey the order of the prefectural pastoral government. I only have Pengcheng in my hands. If Pengcheng can be defended, the Chen family will be the heroes of Xuzhou." Liu Bei stared at Chen Dengdao with burning eyes.

"Thank you, my lord. This subordinate will definitely do my best to help you defend Pengcheng." Chen Deng said with some excitement.

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Chen Deng's complexion became a little gloomy. Liu Bei's words today were testing his attitude. If he didn't answer well, Liu Bei might attack the Chen family.

The Chen family has such a certain influence in Xuzhou, and they are not arrogant enough to confront Liu Bei.

Cao Jun did not stop because of Liu Bei's series of actions in Pengcheng. When 80,000 troops gathered outside the city, the atmosphere in Pengcheng became more dignified. The guards on the city even looked at Cao Jun with some fear. They also thought of Cao Jun's siege weapons and the methods of Cao Jun's soldiers.

Cao Jun set up camp outside the city, showing off his might, and after the luggage was delivered, Cao Jun began to attack Xuzhou City.

Thunderbolt chariots were displayed outside Pengcheng. Outside each city wall, the number of thunderbolt chariots gathered reached a hundred. With the suppression of thunderbolt chariots, Cao Jun could calmly fill up the moat without taking too much risk.

The moat is the support of a city. With the moat, it can greatly ease the pace of the enemy's attack. It can not only delay the enemy's siege, but also cause huge damage to the enemy in the process of filling the moat. However, once the moat loses its function, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the defenders.

Although Cao's army had a large number, they did not surround Pengcheng. This was also to give hope to the defenders in the city and make them feel that there was still a way out. Once the soldiers had such thoughts, they would have more scruples on the battlefield. Generally, when attacking a city, unless the attacking party has an absolute advantage, it will not completely surround the city.
