According to Chen Deng's past character, he actually disdains to explain so much to a reckless man like Zhang Fei.
But this time, in order to make Liu Bei and Lu Bu persist for a few more months and complete the task assigned by Su Xuan, he could only endure it.
It's not that he looks down on generals or warriors.
He just simply can't look down on a reckless man like Zhang Fei.
It's okay to be stupid, but you can't be stupid and stubborn.
That would only make Chen Deng lose the idea of communication.
"This...."
Zhang Fei's expression froze when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "That matter is really troublesome! However, when did Cao Cao become so powerful? Obviously, it was still very ordinary at the beginning!"
"Third brother!"
Liu Bei couldn't listen to it anymore, glared at Zhang Fei and reprimanded: "You think Cao Cao is very ordinary, that's just your idea!~"
"I've always thought Cao Cao was a very powerful, very dangerous person;"
"Even, he gives me the feeling that he is far more dangerous than Yuan Shao!"
"Only Su Xuan, who I can't see through, can compare with him!"
He never dared to underestimate Cao Cao.
Only his third brother, Tie Hanhan, would think that Cao Cao is a simple and easy character to deal with.
In fact, Lu Bu is the kind of character who is easier to deal with in Liu Bei's heart.
Because, Lu Bu is very simple, and his way of doing things is easy to guess.
Unlike Cao Cao, the old treacherous and cunning is talking about him.
"Okay!"
Zhang Fei listened, and didn't argue with his eldest brother, he believed that the eldest brother must have his own reasons for saying this.
"Hey, I hope the Sentinel will come back sooner with useful news!"
Liu Bei sighed, feeling a headache.
If everything is true, then even if he joins forces with Lu Bu, he will not have enough confidence to repel Cao Cao and recapture Xuzhou.
Even, I'm not sure if I can defend this Picheng.
"If I fail, what do I do after that?"
Liu Bei lamented in his heart.
Ten
"When will I be able to rejuvenate the Dahan and make the Dahan great again?"
Liu Bei thought a little confused in his heart.
A day later,
Liu Bei received information from the sentinel cavalry.
"Lord, we have already investigated clearly, Pengcheng and other places have indeed fallen into the hands of Cao Cao!"
"In addition, Cao Cao's army has been mobilized, and it is expected to arrive in Xiapi City one day!"
The sentinel centurion gave a detailed account of the situation in Pengcheng and what they had seen along the way.
Not only Pengcheng, but also the rest of Donghai County have also fallen.
Even, I heard that Taishan County, the Lang Evil Country is no exception.
It's just that the time is limited and the situation is urgent, so they don't have time to investigate the situation in Taishan County and other places, so they hurried back to report.
"Has it really fallen?"
When Liu Bei heard this, his face sank, and his heart sank to the bottom, and at this moment, all the luck in his heart disappeared.
"Hey, I'd rather all this be Lu Bu's trick than the current situation!"
"Forget it! Don't talk about it! Gongyou! I want you to go out of the city and ask Mr. Gongtai to come over and unite against the enemy in good faith!"
"Whoa!"
Sun Qian immediately surrendered his hand and left.
Zhang Fei waited for Sun Qian to leave, and then he couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, do we really want to let the thief Lu Bu in and join forces with him?"
He only sighed that the world has become really fast!
A few days ago they were fighting to the death, but now they are starting to unite against the enemy, and they are going to become brothers in the trenches.
It's literal.
"Or else?"
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei angrily and admonished: "Only by uniting with Lu Bu can we have a chance to defeat Cao Cao, and then it is very important to let Lu Bu help with all his might, third brother, you must not make trouble during this period and have conflicts with Lu Bu!"
"Even if you are angry in your heart, you have to hold it for me first, understand?"
If this makes Zhang Fei angry with Lu Bu and leaves, but they face Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops alone, then Liu Bei will really be blind.
"That's right"
At this time, Guan Yu on the side saw Zhang Fei's reluctance, and immediately warned him: "Third brother!
"You just restrain your little temper! Otherwise, if you miss the big brother's business, beware of me beating you!"
When Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu holding his fist, he suddenly felt a pain in his face, and waved his hand again and again: "Second brother, you put away your fist first!
"Really! Am I the kind of person who can't tell the difference?"
When Liu Bei and Guan Yu heard this, they immediately looked at him speechlessly and said in unison: "You are!"
Zhang Fei: "......"
That's what I feel in your heart, right?
Soon, Chen Gong was invited by Sun Qian.
After that, the process was also smooth, Chen Gong and Liu Bei successfully reached an alliance agreement, and then, Liu Bei opened the city gate and let Lu Bu's army enter the city.
After the two met, they both looked at each other with a look of freshness.
"I didn't expect it, Brother Xuande, you really agreed!
Lu Bu gave Liu Bei a thumbs up.
If he is replaced, he may not be willing to agree.
can only say that Liu Bei is really enduring.
"Hehe!
Liu Bei listened, and said with a humble smile: "In terms of right and wrong, Liu Bei still knows clearly!"
"It's General Lu, you, you can get out and leave directly, but you are still willing to stay and help me, which is what I admire!"
"Next, whether Picheng can be defended or not this time, I'm afraid I will have to rely on you General Lu!"
As long as he can use the power of Lu Bu to hold this Picheng and force Cao Cao to withdraw his army, it will be a victory.
As for whether the whole of Xuzhou can be recaptured in the future, and by then, who should Xuzhou belong to?
Now is not the time to think about these issues at all.
"Where!"
Lu Bu listened, waved his hand and said, "I just didn't want to leave like this, and I want to take revenge on Cao Cao and teach him a lesson!"
"As for whether or not you can win in the end, I can't guarantee it! You have to know this, Brother Xuande!"
"I said ugly things in front, if the mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no hope of victory, I will definitely not take my family and subordinates to defend Picheng!"
"I want you to be clear about that!"
It's okay to do it, it's impossible to work hard!
"You...."
Zhang Fei was immediately upset when he heard this, and he pulled his face and was about to speak.
was directly pulled by Guan Yu on the side and glared at him.
Zhang Fei suddenly became honest.
"Huh!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is natural! The general is also here to help this time, so he is naturally free to come and go!"
"However, it seems that the general is very optimistic that we can win!"
This is obviously not good news.
Liu Bei himself didn't really fight Cao Cao.
The only thing I know is also the cooperation when attacking Yuan Shu.
But Lu Bu is different, he really fought Cao Cao a lot.
Since Lu Bu was not very sure of winning, the situation might be even worse than he had expected. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Almost!"
Lu Bu spread his hands: "Although, Cao Cao's personal strength of military generals, or the most elite soldiers and horses are definitely inferior to mine!"
"But this person not only has a lot of soldiers and horses, but the key is that he is also scheming, and I don't have much confidence that I can fight him!"
"Of course, if it's just a hard hit, I don't scare him at all!"
He even wished that Cao Cao would have a hard time with him.
Not to mention defeating Cao Cao, you have to bite off a large piece of meat from him.
I'm afraid of Cao Cao's high conspiracy.
That's not what he's good at.
"Hmm!"
Liu Bei nodded clearly, and said comfortingly: "I'm not afraid of conspiracy and trickery! We are not vegetarians here, with Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Yuanlong here, I don't believe that we can lose to Cao Cao in terms of strategy?"
As he spoke, Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and Chen Deng, his eyes full of expectation.
When Chen Deng heard this, Lian Qian smiled and said: "The lord is too famous! I can only do my best! Cao Cao's hands are innumerable!"
This is not perfunctory, it is.
The Dark Guard is very well informed!
Of course, even if he now catches up with the intelligence network of the dark guard and has the ability to countercalculate Cao Cao, he will not do it. []
This is not in line with the lord's plan.
"I can only do my best!"
Chen Gong also arched his hand helplessly.
He had already been defeated by Cao Cao before, and he still knew how many catties and taels he had.
Not to mention the masterminds under Cao Cao, Cao Cao alone is a top-level mastermind!
It's hard to deal with.
"That's enough!"
Although Liu Bei's heart sank, he still pretended to be calm on the surface and gave a word of encouragement, and then he began to order people to settle Lu Bu's army and began to prepare for war with all his might.
After 1 day,
Cao Cao led a vast army of nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses to a few miles outside the city of Xiapi, and while sending people to start camping, he stood on a high ground outside the city with some generals and a small number of personal guards to look at the city.
"It seems that Picheng is not easy to deal with now! This city defense alone is as high as more than a dozen battles, and ordinary ladders can't reach it!"
"In addition, I see that there are not only Liu Bei's banners but also Lu Bu's banners on the head of this city, it seems that as I expected, they are indeed united and ready to resist me!"
"That's not good news!"
"Yuan Chang, do you have a way to separate them?"
Zhong Xuan, who was on the side, listened to this, shook his head helplessly, and said: "At this time, most of Xuzhou is already in the hands of the lord! It is a matter of life and death for Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and it will be difficult to separate again!"
"Well, it's not like there's nothing to be done!"
"Oh?"
Cao Cao didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Zhong Xuan to really have a good idea, so he couldn't help but look at Zhong Xuan and asked, "Yuan Chang, what is the best way? If it works, I will have a heavy reward!"
Zhong Xuan immediately replied: "Hui Lord, there are indeed two ideas;"
"One, I have a good relationship with the Chen family of the Xuzhou clan, and I am also an old acquaintance with Chen Yuanlong!"
"According to my understanding, Chen Deng is an extraordinary person and attaches the most importance to the interests of his family;"
"It must be impossible to follow Liu Bei and Lu Bu all the way to the dark!"
"At present, the Chen family has a lot of industries, and the fields are all in several counties in the north of Xuzhou, that is, in the hands of the lord!"
"As long as the right people are sent to contact him, I believe he should be able to convince him to join you, my lord;"
"And this person is already one of the most important and trusted advisors under Liu Bei's command;"
"If you can get his help, if you should cooperate with the outside world, it shouldn't be difficult to break through this Picheng!"
"Hmm!"
Cao Cao listened and nodded clearly: "This plan is feasible! What about the other way?"
Zhong Xuan immediately replied: "The other one is the method of water attack!"
"Lord, please see, this Picheng is adjacent to the Surabaya River, and the terrain is relatively low;"
"At this time, Xuzhou is about to enter the rainy season! If we build multiple dikes in the upper reaches of the Surabaya River to intercept the river water;"
"When the rainy season comes, a large amount of river water will surely be stored;"
"At that time, if the levee is directly destroyed, the accumulated massive river water will inevitably flood the entire city of Xiapi. "
"At that time, Xiapi City will be self-defeating!"
"It's just that this method has harmed the peace of heaven and will cause great disasters to the people near Xiapi City, resulting in the death of countless people;"
"If you can't use it, it's better not to use it!"
"Otherwise, after that, the lord will only be able to get a corrupt Xiapi City and a depression of hundreds of miles nearby;"
At the same time, it will also cause the people of Xuzhou to boil, which is not conducive to the hearts of the people in Xuzhou. "
Of course, he said so, but in fact, Zhong Xuan didn't care about the lives of those people at all.
He is a member of the Yingchuan Zhong clan of the Dashi clan, and he is only a Li Shu, which is not worth mentioning in his eyes at all.
No matter how many deaths and injuries there were, he didn't have any waves in his heart.
If he really cared, he wouldn't have offered this plan just now.
The reason why I say these things is just to show a face of concern for the country and the people, benevolence and righteousness, and establish a good character.
"Hmm..."
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately frowned: "Is the water attack?
In fact, Cao Cao himself is also a ruthless person, and in order to achieve his goals, he can actually do whatever it takes.
But he had concerns at this time, and he didn't dare to mess around like this.
Because, he has to consider Su Xuan's thoughts.
If he really did something that flooded Pi and caused hundreds of people to be killed and injured, he didn't know if Su Xuan would stop him or use troops against him in advance.
It's quite possible.
Looking at Su Xuan's new policy in Jingzhou, you can clearly see that Su Xuan has really achieved benevolence and righteousness in his bones, and it has fallen into reality.
He was very concerned about the lives and lives of the people.
As if they were afraid that they would have a bad time.
In fact, many policies are biased towards the people, wanting to make the people richer and their lives better.
