Chen Deng!
Liu Bei suddenly realized it and said happily:
"What the military advisor means is that Chen Yuanlong sent his brother here to submit to me?"
"Could it be that the military advisor had already predicted that Chen Yuanlong would betray Yuan Lai?"
Deng Mu smiled lightly and acquiesced to what Old Liu said.
In fact, in his opinion, Chen Deng is like most wealthy people from aristocratic families. No matter which lord he assists, the first thing to consider is to safeguard the interests of the people of the state.
For example , When Tao Qian asked Xuzhou, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu jointly supported Liu Bei to succeed him.
The reason is simply that Chen Deng thought that Liu Bei had a benevolent heart and had some military skills, so he could protect Xuzhou from Cao Cao again. Bloodbath.
But there is also a major premise. No matter who is in charge of Xuzhou, it cannot affect the influence of the Chen family in Xuzhou.
Therefore, after Xuzhou changes hands, even if Chen Deng and his family do not like the new owner, they will not be able to choose Cooperate with him.
Lu Bu is like this, Cao Cao is like this, and now Yuan Shao is like this.
The only difference is that
Chen Deng really respects Lao Liu as his lord in addition to interests.
But for Lu Bu and Cao Cao With Yuan Shao and his like, it is a complete relationship of interests, and they have no choice but to take refuge.
However, in these troubled times, this is also the last resort choice of most powerful families, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, the world The situation reversed, and the Yuan family seemed to be destroyed by the joint efforts of Cao and Liu.
Yuan Tan had lost consecutive battles, and Xuzhou was about to return to Lao Liu's hands.
Under this situation, Chen Deng, out of respect for Lao Liu, Whether you want to return to your old master or want to maintain the Chen family's status in Xuzhou, it is expected that you will come secretly to express your intention of joining.
"If we can get Yuan Long's internal response and use his resourcefulness to encourage Yuan Tan to leave the city, it may not be difficult."
Liu Bei's eyes became excited.
In his words, he obviously admired Chen Deng.
"My lord, I heard that Chen Yuanlong has changed his master several times."
"After the Lord lost Xuzhou, he did not stand up to resist Lu Bu"
"Does the Lord really want to accept this person to surrender?"
Veteran Huang Zhong seemed to have some complaints about Chen Deng.
But Liu Bei sighed softly.
"Speaking of which, Yuan Long is not to blame for this incident."
"When Lu Bu came to surrender, Yuan Long reminded me that Lu Bu was capricious and that if I took him in, I would be in trouble sooner or later."
"It was me who failed to heed Yuan Long’s advice and reaped the bitter consequences. No wonder Yuan Long"
"Moreover, the Chen family is rooted in Xuzhou. In order to preserve the family, Chen Yuanlong had to surrender to Lu Bu and it was understandable."
"After all, not everyone is like Mi Zizhong, who can bet on the future and destiny of the whole family and follow me to the death."
"In the final analysis, it was me who betrayed Yuan Long, not Yuan Long who betrayed me."
Liu Bei sighed with emotion. Instead of harboring resentment towards Chen Deng, he actually blamed himself and felt ashamed.
Huang Zhong couldn't help but show respect when he heard this magnanimity.
Deng Mu naturally agreed with Lao Liu's evaluation of Chen Deng..Although they both wanted to protect the interests of their state and family, Chen Deng and Chen Gong's approaches were quite different.
Chen Gong directly rebelled against Cao Cao, lured the evil wolf Lu Bu into the house, and almost killed Lao Liu.
Chen Deng He has never done anything wrong to Lao Liu. He originally switched to Lu Bu after Lao Liu fled Xuzhou.
It can be seen that compared to Chen Deng, Chen Gong's character is completely different.
This also provides the basis for Chen Deng's return. Under Lao Liu's command, a prerequisite foundation was laid
"Lord, no matter what, let’s meet this Chen Ying first."
Deng Mu brought the topic back to the topic.
Liu Bei composed himself and ordered Chen Ying to be brought in. After a while, the second son of the Chen family stood in the tent, bowed to Liu Bei and stated his origin. Sure enough
, this was the case.
As expected by Deng Mu,
Chen Ying was ordered by his brother to express his intention to return to Lao Liu.
However, due to the changes in Xuzhou that year, Chen Deng had some concerns, so he asked his younger brother to come and have a look.
"You can tell Yuan Long that it was because I didn’t listen to his advice that I lost Xuzhou."
"It was me who betrayed him, not him who betrayed me"
"Don't worry about Yuan Long. The past is over, and we all have to look forward."
Liu Bei saw Chen Ying's intention and said generously.
A big stone fell to the ground in Chen Ying's heart. He stood up and bowed to the ground again.
"My brother has said before that the lord has a universal mind and a heroic demeanor, and that is indeed the case."
"I, Mrs. Chen, am willing to do the work of dogs and horses for your lord. If your lord has something to do, just ask."
Chen Ying completely expressed his intention to join the Chen family.
Liu Bei was relieved and hurriedly helped Chen Ying up and gave him some gentle words of comfort.
Then he asked about the current situation in Xiapi City
"After Yuan Shao retreated to Liyang, he was extremely disappointed with Yuan Tan and ordered Yuan Shang to go to Xiapi to take over the Qingxu Army and the military and political power of the two states."
"Now Yuan Shang has entered Qingzhou and is on his way to Xiapi"
"Yuan Tan was now disheartened and just waited for Yuan Shang to arrive before heading north to guard Youzhou."
Chen Ying reported it truthfully.
After hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh:
"Yuan Tan was transferred to Youzhou, which was the same as being sent to Youzhou. It seemed that Yuan Shao was determined to make Yuan Shang his prince."
"Now Yuan Shang is sent to take charge of Qingxu. This is to allow Yuan Shang to make contributions and establish prestige."
Chen Ying nodded hurriedly and said:
"My lord is absolutely right, and my brother also made the same judgment."
"My brother also said that although Yuan Tan was defeated by his lord many times, his generals were superior to Yuan Shang."
"If the lord wants to defeat Xia Pi, he might as well wait until Yuan Shang takes control of the army and then capture Pi."
Liu Bei was about to nod his head sincerely, but suddenly he remembered Deng Mu's previous plan of luring the snake out of the hole, and quickly looked at Deng Mu.
Deng Mu sipped the tea, rolled his eyes slightly, and thought badly.
Suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.
"The Lord wants to conquer Xiapi and regain Xuzhou. Why wait for Yuan Shang to replace Yuan Tan?"
"Now is a great opportunity to break through Xiapi and annihilate all 30,000 Yuan troops."
"Didn't Yuan Shao want to marry Yuan Tan? I guess Yuan Tan must be unwilling to do so. My lord, can Chen Yuanlong..."
Deng Mu took his time and explained his plan.
The curiosity on Liu Bei's face gradually changed. It became a surprise. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
After hearing Deng Mu’s words, Liu Bei was delighted and praised:
"Ziyu, your control over people's hearts is still the same as before."
"Okay, okay, let's use military strategist tactics to defeat Xiapi and annihilate all 30,000 Yuan troops!"
…
At nightfall.
Xiapi Chen Mansion, a secret room.
Chen Ying had already sat in front of his brother with Liu Bei's handwritten letter.
"Xuande Gong is indeed a hero and has the spirit of the great ancestor."
"In this way, I no longer have any worries as a brother."
After Chen Deng read the sincere letter of comfort, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he smiled as if he was relieved.
Chen Ying then took out another secret letter.
"Brother, Military Advisor Deng proposed to my lord a plan to take advantage of Yuan Shang's replacement of Yuan Tan to break through Xiapi and annihilate Yuan's army in the city...."
"This is Military Advisor Deng's plan. The lord asked his brother to act according to the plan."
Chen Deng's eyes brightened, and he quickly took the secret letter and read it carefully.
The curiosity in his eyes turned into deep admiration in the blink of an eye.[]
"This Deng Ziyu is indeed a scheming man. His cleverness and scheming are beyond the reach of his brother."
"The Lord is assisted by such gods and men. If he loses the world, it will be unforgivable!"
Chen Deng was filled with emotion and sighed in admiration.
After sighing with emotion, Chen Deng burned the letter, immediately got up and left the house, and went straight to the state capital.
In the main hall of the state capital,
Yuan Tan was drinking one cup after another. Face full of frustration and anger
"Father, you old fool, how could you listen to those slanderous words!"
"It's obviously Liu Bei who is too strong, not me who is incompetent"
"Do you think that if you replace Yuan Shang to take charge of Qingxu, do you think he can be Liu Bei's opponent?"
"I'm afraid that he will be defeated faster than me. Not to mention repelling Liu Bei, he won't even be able to defend Xiapi, and he will defeat Qingxu Province in the blink of an eye!"
"Confused, you are really old, confused, and extremely confused!"
Yuan Shao was chattering endlessly, venting his dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao.
"The eldest son is right, the lord is indeed confused."
"Don't you think he was also defeated by Cao Cao in Guandu, losing more than 100,000 troops?"
"He was defeated so miserably, what right did he have to blame the eldest son?"
"Eldest son, you at least defended Xiapi and Xuzhou. My lord, he lost all the counties south of the Yellow River to Cao Cao."
Guo Tu also fanned the flames, echoing Yuan Tan's dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao.
The two principal ministers complained for a long time.
Yuan Tan finished the glass of wine, but sighed sadly:
"It's too late to say anything now. My father sent me to Youzhou and asked Yuan Shang to establish his authority. It was obvious that he was determined to give up on me and make Yuan Shang the heir apparent."
"Gongze, I have no hope of fighting for the throne. I think you Ying heroes should change their families as soon as possible and join Yuan Shang's family."
Yuan Tan is discouraged and has the intention of breaking the jar.
Guo Tu is speechless and cannot express his sufferings.
If possible, seeing Yuan Tan lose power, they 0.1 would certainly want to take refuge under Yuan Shang's sect.
It's just Yuan Shang's basic Pan, but Shen Pei and other Hebei scholars.
There are irreconcilable conflicts between Hebei scholars and Ruying scholars. Can those people allow you to join Yuan Shang and get a share of their pie?
Of course it is impossible.
Guo Tu shook his head and sighed, with a look of helplessness.
At this moment, the personal guards came to report that Chen Deng had something urgent to see.
Yuan Tan thought Liu Bei was attacking the city, so he put away his complaints and sent a message to Chen Deng.
After all, Xiapi was now in the city. He was still in power. If he lost Xiapi during this period, Yuan Shao would be furious and might not just send him to Youzhou.
"Although the eldest son was defeated by Liu Bei many times, his generals were far superior to those of the three young masters. Only with the eldest son in charge could he defend Xuzhou."
"Deng has a plan that may help the eldest son to repel Liu Bei's 80,000-strong army before the third son arrives."
"The eldest son of the time has made great achievements and his reputation has skyrocketed. Maybe he can force the lord to take back his life!"
As soon as Chen Deng entered the hall, he went straight to the point and stated his intention.
After these words came out,
Yuan Tan's spirit suddenly lifted, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in despair.
He immediately straightened up and asked excitedly:
"Yuanlong, what is your clever plan that can help me defeat the 80,000 big-eared bandit army in one fell swoop?".
