Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Liu Bei shook his head slightly, "Third brother, Cao Cao has some tricks. Xun Yu, Xun You and their like will be defeated unjustly."

Chen Deng had a look of embarrassment on his face. He offered two plans, but Cao Jun failed them both. He felt that Liu Bei looked at him a little strangely. Since taking charge of Xuzhou, Liu Bei has also said that he has worked hard to govern, but compared with Cao Cao, the gap is still too big.

.

"This defeat is the fault of my subordinates." Chen Deng cupped his hands and said.

Liu Bei comforted him by saying, "You don't need to take Yuan Long seriously. Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. You only need to hold on to the city. When Hua Xiong leads his troops to attack Yuzhou, Cao's army will not be able to care about each other and will inevitably retreat."

Chen Deng handed over his hand and said yes, but he was even more worried in his heart. What he was worried about was not the war in Xuzhou, but the Chen family. Since the battle with Cao Jun, Xuzhou has always been at a disadvantage. After Xuzhou's two attacks by Cao Jun, the people's livelihood has deteriorated.

Withered, and experiencing a locust plague this year, if it cannot be stabilized, its strength will be greatly damaged. As the head of the Chen family, you must always consider the interests of the Chen family. Liu Bei is nominally the shepherd of Xuzhou, but Zang Ba of Langxie does not obey

The order was given and tens of thousands of troops were gathered. After the locust plague, Xuzhou was infested with thieves and bandits. In the long run, Xuzhou could be defended.

The interests of the Chen family also suffered a lot when Cao Jun attacked Xuzhou twice. Compared with Liu Bei, they longed for a stable Xuzhou. When Tao Qian was there, although Xuzhou was not very stable, at least there was no war.

The family was also able to develop its own strength calmly.

So what if Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty? Cao Cao will not stop because Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Now that the Han Dynasty is declining, princes are everywhere. For their own interests, they will not take into account the so-called royal face. For example, Jiangdong Sun Ce still

He led his troops to attack Jiangxia.

After returning to the mansion, Chen Deng went to his father Chen Gui's residence.

"Father, now that Cao Jun has raised troops again, Xuzhou is in danger. Liu Shijun fought against Cao Jun twice, but he was at a disadvantage both times. The cavalry lost thousands of people, and Cao Jun had sharp weapons such as thunder chariots, and the morale of the army was shaken." Chen Deng respectfully said.

A salute was made.

Chen Gui smiled and said: "Yuanlong, Cao's army is powerful, and although Liu Bei is wise, he is not a wise master. Xuzhou is the place of the Four Wars, and there is no danger to defend. Cao Cao has tens of thousands of troops, occupying Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

, this year he led his troops to conquer Shouchun, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. Although Liu Bei is a member of the Han clan, he can hardly achieve great achievements."

Chen Deng was slightly stunned. From his father's words, he felt too many meanings. Could it be that his father wanted the Chen family to secretly defect to Cao Cao?

"Father, although Cao Cao was the shepherd of Yanzhou, he attacked Xuzhou without authorization. His ambition was clear. He even massacred the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou in the past." Chen Dengdao said that Liu Bei trusted him quite a bit. Although he was the head of the Chen family, he was the leader in important matters at home.

Chen Gui calls the shots.

"Hasn't Yuan Long clearly seen the current situation in the world? Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Huan established Zhou Mu and put Zhou Mu in charge of power. No one can match Zhou Mu's power, and after Zhou Mu has tyrannical strength in his hands,

How could he obey the orders of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Emperor died in the Chang'an rebellion, which completely destroyed the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Although Liu Biao inherited the rule in Jingzhou, he lost his troops and generals on the battlefield in Yangzhou. His strength was not enough to deter the princes, otherwise

How dare Cao Cao attack Xuzhou?" Chen Gui said slowly: "Cao Cao is a tiger and wolf. It will be difficult to defend Xuzhou after all. Even if Cao Cao's army retreats this time, he will attack again after Cao Cao reorganizes his troops. Liu Bei Ziran will take control of Xuzhou. Chen

But I cannot die in Xuzhou with Liu Bei."

"What does father mean by saying that the Chen family has taken refuge with Cao Cao?" Chen Deng asked in a low voice in disbelief.

Chen Gui nodded and said: "It is not time to take refuge with Cao's army at this time. When Cao's army finds it difficult to attack Xuzhou, if the Chen family joins them, they will definitely be reused. With Yuanlong's talent, he will become the shepherd of Xuzhou."

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said, "I will obey my father's orders in everything."

After Chen Gui pointed out the direction, Chen Deng felt a lot more relaxed. Not only the Chen family, he believed that the aristocratic families in the city would not follow Liu Bei wholeheartedly, and the Chen family would be ahead of them. Relatively speaking, Cao Cao

The strength is tyrannical. After joining Cao's army, they don't have to worry about war. This is what the Xuzhou family wants most. Xuzhou, which was originally prosperous, has suffered a serious loss in strength due to successive wars.

For example, when Cao's army attacked Xuzhou, the aristocratic families in the city also sent out a lot of food, grass and soldiers.

Liu Bei had no idea that Chen Deng, whom he trusted, had already wanted to join Cao Cao after Chen Gui's words.

In Xuzhou, the most prominent ones are the Chen family and the Mi family. The Chen family is a famous family, while the Mi family is rich in wealth. Compared with the Mi family, the Chen family has greater influence, even though Mi Zhu was appointed by Tao Qian.

Doing business still cannot change the status of a businessman. In this era, the status of a businessman is ultimately lower than that of a literati. After the Mi family left, the Xuzhou family seemed to be headed by Chen Deng. To a certain extent, Chen Deng

The decision represents the Xuzhou family.

Hua Xiong led his troops to attack Yuzhou, but it did not affect Cao Cao's determination to attack Xuzhou.

After winning two consecutive victories against the Xuzhou Army, Cao Cao's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at Xi Ce on the bed and sighed: "Zhicai is seriously ill, why didn't you tell me, but instead supported me hard and followed me to fight in Xuzhou?"

.”

It turned out that Cao Cao saw Xi Ce's face getting paler and coughing more and more, so he ordered the doctor from the army to come. After the doctor checked, he shook his head and said nothing. Cao Cao's mood fell into a low point at that time. After questioning, he learned that Xi Ce

He died not long ago.

"This subordinate comes from a poor family. Fortunately, my lord trusts me, so I want to help him to bring peace to his enemies." Xi Ce said with slightly red eyes. Ever since he took refuge with Cao Cao, he has been entrusted with important tasks. This incident has often aroused the attention of the officials under him.

In any case, Xi Ce came from a poor family and did not have a prominent family background. However, Cao Cao turned a deaf ear to it. Even if he heard the rumors about Xi Ce, he would laugh them off. The relationship between the two people has transcended that of a monarch and his ministers.

"If Zhicai is gone, what should I do?" Cao Cao felt something in his heart.

"My lord has many talents under his command. Xun You and Xun Yu are both pillars of talent. However, my subordinates are incompetent and cannot help my lord capture Xuzhou, but they want to take the first step." Xi Ce coughed violently, and the silk cloth was covered with blood.

Cao Cao shouted: "Send the doctors to come quickly."

"Lord, my subordinate's illness is beyond repair. Don't embarrass the doctor any more." Xi Ce murmured with a haggard look on his face.

Cao Cao stepped forward and took Xi Ce's hand and said: "Zhicai, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo is in Bingzhou. I will send a horse to Jinyang to ask Hua Tuo to come. Then Zhicai's illness will be safe."

, Cao Cao’s eyes lit up.

"My lord, the city of Xuzhou is strong. If the troops in the city are determined to defend the city, they should focus on Yanzhou to prevent what happened in the past."
