This majestic general is called Changfeng.

This Changfeng, also known as Changba, was a strong man in Donghai County in his early years. Later, Mount Tai was in turmoil, and Changba gathered a crowd to pull up a team of tens of thousands of people. Because of avoiding the name of another Taishan giant, Zangba, he is mostly known in the name of Changfeng.

The name of the so-called "thief" is actually only a term for a small number of people in this period with ulterior motives for the armed hero, just like many brave mountain people in Jiangdong were called "mountain thieves" and "mountain crosses".

At that time, Zang Ba's prestige was the head of the Taishan group, when Tao Qian pacified the prefecture and county, crusaded against the Yellow Turban Army, and Chang Xian and Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and other leaders followed Zang Ba to submit to Tao Qian's men.

Later, Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Zang Ba and Chang Feng and others did not send troops to help Tao Qian, and after Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, Zang Ba Chang Feng and others did not surrender to Liu Bei, becoming one of the heroes in the actual troubled times.

Later, Lu Bu attacked and seized Xuzhou, and the relationship between Zang Ba and others and Lu Bu Group was also good and bad. The two sides have repeatedly clashed because of the staggered territory, and Lu Bu has personally led the army to attack Mount Tai, but the two sides have always maintained the same in resisting foreign troops from infiltrating Xuzhou, so the relationship between the two sides is also close.

Then Cao Cao went to Xuzhou again, and we all know what happened next. Although Lü Bu avoided the doom of the historical Baimen Tower in Xuzhou, he was still assassinated to death in Guangling.

And Zang Bachangfeng and others, according to the trajectory of history, were surrendered by Cao Cao. Among them, Sun Guan, Yin Li, Wu Dunchang, and Feng were all appointed by Cao Cao as a county guard, and Zang Ba was reused by Cao Cao, and was named Lang Evil Minister, supervising the military affairs of Qingxu and Xu Prefectures.

I have to say that the appointment of the leader of the "Kou Thief" as a high-ranking official like the Taishou of a county, it seems that only Cao Cao can do it casually in the entire Three Kingdoms. The same thing, I believe that a prince like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who was born in a wealthy family, would never be able to do it.

Cao Cao also grasped the stakes very accurately. entrusted Zang Ba Sun Guan and others with important positions in Taishan, and did not cut the military power of Zang Ba Sun Guan and others, so that they could be Cao Cao's subordinates and feel at ease. In this way, Cao Cao also obtained the tranquility of the precipitous places of several counties of Mount Tai, and was praised by the world.

There are exceptions to everything, and Changfeng is an exception.

The historical Changfeng under Cao Cao can be described as capricious. rebelled against Cao Cao several times, and finally couldn't keep him even after surrendering to Cao Cao for the third time, and was beheaded by Cao Cao.

This time, Liu Bei entered Xuzhou from the north of Guangling, and Chang Xuan, who was the Taishou of Donghai County, did not hesitate to surrender to Liu Bei with Donghai County and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. What he did was exactly the same as what Liu Bei did when he turned his back on Cao Cao and entered Xuzhou after he turned his back on Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to destroy Yuan Shu in history.

Of course, the current Chang Feng has not fully manifested his "life of death, Lu Bu's illness". Therefore, it is still very valued in Liu Bei's camp, and his status is second only to Guan Zhang.

"Do you think that when Cao Jun came to attack, was it war or peace?" Liu Bei's face was calm, as if he didn't care about Cao Jun's back and forth, and he was full of confidence. But his motionless stiff body showed a hint of strangeness.

The so-called war must be a battle to defend the city, do you still want to rely on a group of unwarned soldiers to fight with the experienced Cao army in the field?

The so-called harmony is actually to seek peace, and even temporarily surrender to Cao Cao. After all, having said that, Liu Bei and Cao Cao don't have much grudge now, it's just that Liu Bei listened to Yuan Shao's flickering for a while and grabbed a piece of Cao Cao's territory. There is no blood feud between the two sides.

Speaking of threats, I'm afraid that in Cao Cao's heart, Liu Bei's status is not as good as Zhang Xiu's.

"Needless to say, big brother, it must be a fight, as long as I am allocated 30,000 Ma Bu Army, I will definitely call 100,000 Cao Jun and the traitor Cao Cao have no return!"

No matter what the eldest brother says, as long as it is about fighting, our three generals are the first to respond, and no matter what the situation is, the attitudes and answers are surprisingly similar every time.

Regarding the third brother's answer of patting his chest, Liu Bei also developed the habit of selective ignorance, and it was not until the second person spoke out that Liu Bei spoke.

"The minister thinks that at present, I have 50,000 horse infantry troops brought by Guangling in Xuzhou, nearly 20,000 righteous troops of General Changxuan, and more than 60,000 soldiers of the previous chariot and Liu Dai Wang Zhong, although there is a gap in combat power, but the total number of soldiers and horses is not less than Cao's army, and there is the courage of the two generals of Xuzhou and Guan Zhang, and they should fight a battle between the princes and the name of the Lord!"

It was Liu Bei's current mastermind Mi Zhu who spoke, although his words had always been insignificant, but this time it made Chen Deng, Sun Qian and others nod their heads deeply, and also made Chang Feng feel uplifted, and made the three generals look around with joy!

Liu Bei took in the expressions of everyone below, especially when he saw Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, he stayed for an extra second or two. After getting the reaction he wanted, Liu Bei finally made a decision: "Then fight, although the time has not yet come to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch, but relying on you, this time I have to frustrate the traitor's spirit!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Fei at the bottom first responded loudly when he heard this, and was about to get up to ask for battle, but Chen Deng on the other side stood up and bowed down and said: "The general is determined to resist Cao, and Chen Deng is willing to lead the people of Xuzhou to the city to help the army fight." Just in order to better defeat Cao Jun, Chen Deng had a plan to offer. ”

Hearing Chen Deng's words, Liu Bei's stiff body finally trembled slightly, and replied a few tenths of a second faster than usual: "With the help of Yuanlong and Xuzhou Shimin, it is really a blessing for my Han Zhongxing." I don't know what kind of trick Yuanlong has to help break Cao? ”

The three generals next to him were a little impatient at this time, but looking at the familiar expression of the eldest brother, our three generals could only wait patiently.

Chen Deng: "As we all know, Cao's army has been fighting on all sides all year round, and the period of rest and recuperation never exceeds three months. Although there are measures to settle in the fields, there is no surplus hoarding of military rations. Previously, Cao Jun had been holding Yuan Shao in Liyang for several months, and the food stock must have been exhausted. This time, he only led 100,000 troops and horses to attack Xuzhou, which is a clear proof. It is estimated that Cao's army's food and grass will only last for a month, and the siege will not be able to take place at that time, so the army can only retreat. ”

"Therefore, why don't we return Liu Dai Wangzhong's 50,000 soldiers to Cao Cao, on the one hand, it makes Cao's army even more poor, and on the other hand, it is also a gesture of goodwill to him, if Cao Cao insists on conquering, then the world's public opinion will naturally be on the side of the general."

"The last general will not agree with Mr. Chen's plan!" As soon as Chen Deng's words fell, Mi Fang, the younger brother of Mi Zhu and the general of Liu Bei, stood up and retorted: "That's a full 50,000 horses, how can it be easily returned to Cao Juntu to increase his combat strength, in this case, my Xuzhou soldiers and horses are only 80,000, and Cao Jun is twice as large as our army, Xuzhou is difficult to defend!" ”

"General Mi is worried, these 50,000 horses are nominally our army, but his wife and children are all under the rule of Cao Cao, and it is difficult to say whether they can be used by our army in the war. Instead of keeping an eye on it, it is better to return Cao Cao generously, in the name of showing the benevolence of the general! ”

Chen Deng's words directly sealed Mi Fang's words. When the world mentions Liu Xuande, the first impression that comes to mind is his benevolence. Including Liu Bei himself, he puts benevolence and virtue as the first standard for dealing with the world. If Mi Fang continued to oppose Chen Deng's scheme, it would be tantamount to having an opinion on Liu Bei.

As a result, General Mi Fangmi, who had just been in charge of more than 10,000 surrendered troops, could only secretly eat this sullen loss and let go of the already small military power in his hand without saying a word.

"Yuanlong's words are very good, Cao Jun is here to win in a quick battle, I will repatriate his 50,000 new soldiers, Cao Thief will not be able to integrate his combat power in a short time, on the contrary, he can also speed up the consumption of grain and grass, so that in January, Cao Jun will retreat!"

"Pass on my military order, Mi Fang, you will send the 50,000 new soldiers to the east on the same day, and return them to Cao Cao with Liu Dai and Wang Zhong. And take my own letter to Cao Cao and persuade him to make peace. ”

"Third brother, you will order 10,000 troops and go to Xiaopei to camp. A certain commander of the army then arrived. The important place of Xiapi is garrisoned by the Yuanlong overseer, and General Chang, you lead the soldiers of your headquarters to guard this Donghai County to guard against the Cao army in the north. ”

"Grain, grass, ordnance, and all other things, you have to work hard to do it. Huainan still has to bother Sun Zhi to go again, if we can get Zhang Wenjin's western Liangbu cavalry assistance, our army will have the strength to turn defense into attack. ”

"No!" Chen Deng, Zhang Fei and others bowed their hands together.

……

The servant pushed open the door, and Chen Deng looked tired.

The Chen family is not only one of the top wealthy families in Xuzhou, but also the number one wealthy family in the whole world. Although the courtyard is simply furnished, it occupies a considerable area.

Anyone who has been in Chen's house knows that the Chen family dug a sizable fish pond in their yard and had pavilions. This is built by Chen Deng, who is a good eater of fish, who is in a high position, and Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong, who eats and opens no matter which side of the force, must do two things every day is fishing and eating fish.

Unlike other fish lovers, Chen Deng likes fresh fish the most, so every fish he eats is caught by himself on the same day. And Chen Deng likes to eat "fresh", often cutting live fish into sashimi and adding some ingredients to eat raw, which is also a strange talk among the wealthy families in Xuzhou.

At this moment, there is an old man in the courtyard, who is sprinkling fish feed into the fish pond in the pavilion.

Seeing this person, Chen Deng swept away the fatigue on his face, and walked behind the old man respectfully without saying a word.

Finally, the old man finally finished scattering the bait in his hand, and then stood on the edge of the pond and quietly watched the various fish in the fish pond eat for a while, and then the old man turned around.

Chen Deng hurriedly bowed and called his father very respectfully.

Chen Jue looked at his most proud son, opened his lips full of wrinkles and missing teeth and asked with a smile, "How is the discussion?" ”

Chen Deng lowered his body and head slightly, and said: "Back to my father's words, the child has already suggested that Xuande Gong should send Liu Dai Wang Zhong and his 50,000 Cao troops back to Cao Ying. In addition, the Duke of Xuande still sent me the Chen Governor Danyang elite soldiers to guard Xiapi. No matter how the battle develops next, the Chen family is already worry-free. ”

Chen Qi nodded and responded to his son's plan: "This plan is wonderful, but it's a pity that today is not a peaceful world, otherwise Deng'er, you should also be a third prince and nine princes." ”

"Deng'er doesn't ask for the three princes and nine kings, but only for the Chen family for thousands of generations." Chen Deng hurriedly replied.

Chen Jue didn't comment on his son's response, and asked again after a while: "If one day, when it comes to the moment when my Chen family must suppress the treasure, Deng'er, which prince and hero in this world will you choose?" ”
