This is a win-win strategy for Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu. If it is successful, Liu Bei, who has contributed the most work, will be based on Xuzhou and share Yanzhou with Yuan. And Zhang Xiu can also share Yuzhou equally with the Yuan family, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal, so when Chen Deng slowly told this strategy of cutting Cao in front of everyone, it was already determined that Zhang Xiu would definitely agree.

Chen Yuanlong, who was resourceful, naturally bet on Zhang Xiu's mind again this time. Zhang Xiu is indeed unwilling to consume his troops at the moment, but on the other hand, he has a desire for the land of the Central Plains. Therefore, putting Zhang Xiu in the position of feint attack rather than main attack is the best plan that Liu Bei Group can think of to pull Zhang Xiu into the Cao Alliance and give full play to its effectiveness.

Zhang Xiu did not hesitate after hearing this, and nodded directly: "Mr. Yuanlong is highly strategic, and Xiu is willing to lead the soldiers of the headquarters to take this position." ”

"General Zhendong is really a big man, with the help of the general, Kuang Fu Han is just around the corner!" got the answer he wanted so happily, and Chen Deng did not hesitate to praise it, and his sincere gratitude was revealed.

"General Zhendong brought 50,000 tigers and wolves from Huainan this time, and these horses are more than enough to contain the soldiers and horses of Xiahou Yuan's troops. However, it was absolutely impossible to completely attract the attention of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, the two Cao armies. Although our Xuzhou army is not rich in soldiers and horses at the moment, the attack on Peijun is related to the overall situation, so our department is willing to transfer 30,000 horse infantry troops and send a general for General Zhendong to send, so that the general can use the banner of the coalition army to deter Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren! After thanking Zhang Xiu, Chen Deng began to arrange the battle situation in a loud voice.

This trip was in line with Liu Facao, but Zhang Xiu did not bring any of his own military advisors and ministers with the army. It's not that Zhang Xiu is really stingy, but there are not many advisers under Zhang Xiu, or there are not many who can go out with the army this time.

Chen Gongtai, who is outstanding in his strategy with soldiers, has always had a gap in Liu Bei's heart because he masterminded and directed the drama of Lu Bu's attack on Xuzhou in the past. Although Liu Bei, who is known for his elder style and benevolence, does not care about the things of the past, Chen Gong has never let go of it in his heart. In addition, the last time he accompanied Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to help Liu Bei, he did not deal with Guan and Zhang, who had a direct personality, and formed a knot, and Zhang Xiu didn't want to be reluctant, so he allowed Chen Gong to stay in Shouchun to help Zhang Liao see the movements of Cao Renbu.

In addition to Chen Gong, Zhang Xiu's subordinates can be regarded as first-class advisers but Jia Xu, Liu Ye and Li Ru. Jia Xu is the treasure of Zhang Xiu's town, and he can already be regarded as a handful of bones, so he can't move easily. Liu Ye has a way to seek the country, but he does not have a way to seek the army, and he is the Taishou of Lujiang, so he naturally cannot be called at will. As for Li Ru, who is not inferior to Jia Xu in terms of viciousness, he can't take it out to see the light.

As a result, Zhang Xiu went out to fight this time, but he could only bring out two young people, Zhuge Jin and Lu Su. Lu Su was responsible for supervising the transportation of Zhang Xiujun's grain, grass and military supplies, while Zhuge Jin acted as a staff member. In addition, the young Lu Xun also came out and served as a small secretary next to Zhang Xiu.

Coupled with Jiang Gan, who was previously sent to Xuzhou, there were only three or four Zhang Xiujun's staff members and ministers here. That's why most of the discussions were told by Liu Bei's staff.

Because of his own intelligence and family background, Chen Deng is now the mastermind of Liu Bei's group, and what he said naturally represents Liu Beijun's opinion.

Regarding the fact that Xuzhou divided some soldiers and horses to cooperate with him to attack Xiaopei, even if Chen Deng didn't take the initiative to say it, Zhang Xiu would take the initiative to ask Liu Bei for someone. After all, what Chen Deng just said was an impartial truth, and Zhang Xiu's 50,000 Huainan Army alone would definitely not be able to play a role. If you want to make a big formation and make Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren think that the main attack point of the Xuzhou Army and the Huainan Army is Xiaopei, then you must dispatch at least 70,000 soldiers and horses to fight, and play the banner of Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei, so that you can have enough convincing.

"I am willing to share the worries of my eldest brother, this hard work of leading the troops and General Zhang to besiege Peicheng, I Zhang Yide is willing to go!" Chen Deng had just finished speaking, but Zhang Fei directly patted his bulging chest and stood up and said loudly.

Everyone present was slightly stunned at first, but in the blink of an eye, most of them had a happy face and an expression of approval.

Zhang San's personality is rough and direct, but rough and direct also have the advantage of being rough and direct. For example, in the eyes of Cao Jun, General Zhang San's appearance and style are well known to everyone from the generals of Cao Jun to the miscellaneous soldiers who sweep the camp.

For example, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have always been known as 10,000 enemies, and they are also extremely frightened by Cao Jun, who had fought with him. However, as for the true faces of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, not many people in Cao Jun have seen and known each other. But compared with Guan Erye, who has a heavy face and a dignified appearance, Zhang San, who has a beard and round eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, roars like thunder, and moves like a black whirlwind, is more famous among Cao Bing. has nothing to do with anything else, it is nothing more than because Zhang San's physiognomy is easier to describe rumors and imagine to identify.

So since this feature exists, it is a pity not to use it. Moreover, Liu Bei's famous generals are not Guan Zhang and the others, and Zhang San, who has a very good relationship with Zhang Xiu, is not used, should he let Guan Erye, who has always been arrogant, go to Zhang Xiu?

As a result, Zhang Fei commanded 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers and under the banner of Liu Bei, and in fact, Zhang Xiu was the main commander and the Huainan Army was the main force to feint Xiaopei.

This way has been decided, and Liu Bei's attack on Zang Ba will naturally be easy to arrange. To the outside world, it is only necessary to declare that Guan Yu is the main general, and the former Donghai County Shouchang Xuan, who was born in the Taishan Army, is the deputy, and hide the number of soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei hides in the army.

Then the two parties discussed the issue of grain and grass and military supplies, and finally reached an agreement that Mi Zhu under Liu Bei's account and Lu Su under Zhang Xiu would supervise the grain and grass together to ensure that the logistics were safe.

A tacit understanding and consensus was quickly reached on all matters, and the atmosphere of the banquet was naturally getting better and better. Liu Bei even made an exception to allow drinking, and the sergeant brought up several jars of alcohol to help him enjoy.

Drink until everyone is full of food and meat, and everyone on both sides is harmonious like a family, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu are both slightly drunk, and the banquet is dispersed. Zhang Xiu insisted on going out of the city and returning to the camp immediately to prepare for the expedition, but Liu Bei couldn't keep it, so he could only fulfill his wish. However, Zhang San joined in the fun again, shouting that he should immediately move to the military camp outside the city to prepare his armor, so that Guan Er and Liu Da had a headache.
