Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 854: Chen Deng withdraws troops
When Chen Gong saw this scene, he was secretly delighted. In this battle, Zang Ba used his bravery to win the respect of the generals of the Eastern Navy. After all, Zhu Bao had gone to battle before and Hua Xiong was beheaded.
Naturally, the generals did not want to follow Zhu Shu to death. Zang Ba's appearance at this time was their life-saving straw.
Zhu Shu, who was smiling all over his face, naturally didn't know what Chen Gong was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a good mood.
That night, the lights in the prefect's mansion were brightly lit, and the civil servants and military officers gathered in the city. In the past, the status of civil servants was much higher than that of military commanders. However, now that the East China Sea is in danger, they have to rely on the generals in the army to defend the city in order to resolve this crisis. However,
There is no longer the arrogance of the past.
During the banquet, the generals of the army went to Zang Ba to toast from time to time. Today, Zang Ba impressed the generals of the army with his martial arts. Most of the generals admired capable people, such as the former general Zhu Bao, but it was just to please him.
He only reached his current position after replacing Zhu Shu. He had no prestige in the army. His death in battle shocked the officers and soldiers of the army, not anything else.
Zang Ba's drinking capacity was quite good, and he drank it all in one gulp when faced with the toasts of the generals in the army, showing an extremely generous attitude.
Zhu Shu, who noticed this scene, looked unhappy. The respect his army generals showed towards Zang Ba clearly showed that they did not take him as the prefect seriously.
"Blessings to the governor, the Xuzhou army is still outside the city." Chen Gong reminded him at the right time.
Zhu Shu suddenly woke up. Now the strength in the city was not enough to resist the Xuzhou army. He had to rely on the cavalry in Zang Ba's hands. "Mr. Chen, the enemy troops outside the city include General Lao Zang and Mr. Chen."
"I and General Zang will work hard to repel the Xuzhou Army." Chen Gong said calmly.
Compared to the excitement in the city, Hua Xiong once again argued with Cao Hong in the Xuzhou military camp outside the city. Cao Hong was a tribesman of Cao Cao, and may not be as capable as him, but his status in Cao's army was far beyond that of ordinary generals.
Wow, have you ever felt cowardly?
Hua Xiong was the most powerful general in the Xiliang Army in the past. How could he suffer under Cao Hong? The result of the two people's disagreement was that Hua Xiong once again led his soldiers to separate from the Xuzhou Army.
Chen Deng looked helpless when he saw this. Originally, Hua Xiong was not enthusiastic about attacking the East China Sea. In the past, Chen Deng was there to persuade him. However, it was better after Cao Hong arrived. The Thunderbolt chariots used to attack the city were lost.
, the relationship with Hua Xiong also became tense.
"Chen Zhoumu, that Hua Xiong doesn't know how to commend himself and doesn't listen to orders. I will definitely report the truth to Shanyang Marquis about this general's return to Yanzhou." Cao Hong said, "Chen Zhoumu has a good command of the army. No wonder he can be used highly by the lord."
.”
Chen Deng cupped his hands and said: "General, you are so complimentary. The most important thing now is to conquer the East China Sea. There is Zang Ba leading the cavalry in the city to help. It may be difficult to capture the East China Sea, and the weather is getting colder today." Although his appointment was still satisfactory.
If you don't come down, becoming Xuzhou Mu is already an established fact.
Cao Hongdao: "Chenzhou Muxiu wants to mention the withdrawal of the army. I have come here on the order of the lord. I have mentioned the retreat before making any achievements. How can I tell the lord about it?"
"General Cao, Shanyang Marquis has elite soldiers, but the Xuzhou army has neglected training and it is difficult to break through the East China Sea. However, General Hua has elite cavalry in his hands." Chen Deng reminded vaguely, at this time, and Hua Xiong
The relationship is in trouble, which is not beneficial to both parties.
"Hua Xiong is very rude, so don't pay any attention to it. I will inform your lord about the East China Sea and ask him to send reinforcements." When Cao Hong said this, his tone lost the arrogance he had before.
Eighty Pili chariots were lost. After this news reaches Yanzhou, even if he is a member of Cao Cao's tribe, he will be punished. Cao Cao's army will not forgive you because of your status.
"This will help General Cao." Chen Deng said with a cup of his hands. He didn't know enough about Cao Cao, otherwise he wouldn't be treating Cao Hong with such respect.
That night, Zhu Shu and Zang Ba followed Chen Gong's plan and attacked from the east to the west. First, they sent generals to raid the Xuzhou Army Camp. Then Zang Ba led the elite cavalry and directly turned the Xuzhou Army Camp upside down. However, Hua Xiong did not suffer.
Too big a loss.
What Chen Deng wants to do most at the moment is to withdraw his troops. In the East China Sea, he no longer feels the hope of victory. He was raided twice by the defenders in the city. The morale of the army has dropped to the lowest point. It is useless to stay in the East China Sea.
.
"General Cao, I will make it clear to Shanyang Marquis about the withdrawal of the troops. The Xuzhou Army will attack Donghai again next year," Chen Deng said.
Seeing that Chen Deng had made up his mind, Cao Hong had no choice but to agree. He admitted that he had ignored the defenders in the city and even more neglected Zang Ba's abilities.
Hua Xiong was naturally happy to be like this. He himself prioritized preserving his strength and did not want to fight with the defenders of the East China Sea at this time. The attack on the East China Sea was also forced by Cao Cao's power. Now that Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Xuzhou, he returned to Xiapi
After that, he will not be afraid of Chen Deng. As long as he has enough strength secretly accumulated, he will be the next Zang Ba in Xuzhou.
The Xuzhou army outside the city retreated. Zhu Shu was overjoyed and thanked Zang Ba profusely.
However, Zang Ba and Chen Gong could clearly sense Zhu Shu's caution in his words. It was also because the cavalry under Zang Ba's command was too strong. Compared with the cavalry under Zang Ba's command, the cavalry in the city was not at the same level at all. Besides, Xuzhou
Already lacking in war horses, Zang Ba was able to possess two thousand cavalry, which was a powerful force in itself.
Zang Ba did not want to leave the East China Sea so easily. The existence of the East China Sea could provide a barrier for Lang Xie. As Chen Gong said, it is safest to have this barrier in his own hands.
The Xuzhou Army was able to retreat mainly because of Chen Gong and Zang Ba. The generals in the army were respectful when they saw them.
It happened that Zang Ba heard about Zhu Shu's punishment of the lieutenant general in the army. Originally, the crime committed by the lieutenant general was not too big, but perhaps because he was a little angry, Zhu Shu ordered his people to beat the lieutenant twenty times.
.
Zang Ba followed Chen Gong's plan and secretly contacted this deputy general. There was no chief general in the city, so this deputy general had a great say in the army.
The lieutenant general resented Zhu Shu's unkindness and turned to Zang Ba. With the secret contact of the lieutenant general, half of the generals in the army turned to Zang Ba. This was also due to Zang Ba's reputation. Even military generals had their own
Judging from Zhu Shu's body, they didn't feel much respect, and Zang Ba was a military commander. In this regard, he was the same as them, and it was easy to gain their favor. In addition, the deputy general was beaten hard, so that
The generals in the army were disheartened, so the generals in the Eastern Navy defected to Zang Ba in large numbers.
