"The Chen family father and son?"

After Liu Zheng heard Mi Zhu's words, he didn't need Mi Zhu to explain more, Liu Zheng's mind had already appeared some of the deeds of the Chen family's father and son.

Father Chen Qi, son Chen Deng, father and son are all famous people in Xuzhou, first assistant Tao Qian, then Liu Bei, and finally Cao Cao, who is quite a good person, and all belong to talents with very high emotional intelligence.

They have one thing in common with Jia Xu and Lu Bu, that is, they have served in different forces many times, but Lu Bu has been infamous for 10,000 years, and has been called a slave with three surnames, but Jia Xu and Chen Deng are praised by others, mainly because they are very conscientious and give advice no matter what master they serve, until they really can't do it, they seek a way to protect themselves, their people Liu Zheng is still very appreciative, quite modern style, and the ancients' idea of loyalty to the end is a little different.

Chen Zheng is okay, Liu Zheng has little impression of him, but Chen Deng, Liu Zheng has a great impression of this person.

Chen Deng, he is knowledgeable, can govern the country and the people, and Wu can defeat Sun Quan twice, is a very important figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the pattern of three points in the world is inseparable from him.

Chen Deng once helped Cao Cao to eliminate Lü Bu; When he was serving as the captain of the agricultural school in Xuzhou, Chen Dengxing repaired water conservancy and accumulated abundant rice; After Ren Guangling was too guarded, he defeated Sun Quan and Sun Ce brothers twice! It can be said that if Chen Deng hadn't died too early, his intellectual achievements would definitely not be under Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang!

Maybe people like Chen Deng are people who are jealous.

Liu Zheng's subordinates are short of strategists, if he can say that the Chen family and his son are lowered, it will be of great help to Liu Zheng, whether it is the personal ability of Chen Deng's father and son, or the influence of the Chen family in Xuzhou.

"The father and son of the Chen family have great influence in Xuzhou, on the surface, Xuzhou is in charge of Tao Qian's assassination history, but the assassination history often changes, but the Chen family can stand in Xuzhou for decades."

"Chen Qi's grandfather was the Guanghan Taishou, and his uncle Chen Qiu was the former imperial captain, and the two brothers were both Taishou, so the Chen family has great influence in Xuzhou, and it is the largest family in Xuzhou, if the adults can persuade the Chen family and his son to surrender, it is equivalent to controlling half of Xuzhou."

Although the Mi family is also a big family in Xuzhou, the Mi family is only financially strong, and compared with a family with high political status like the Chen family in Xuzhou, it is still far behind.

Therefore, Mi Zhu did not directly instigate Liu Zheng to attack Xuzhou and eliminate the Chen family, but suggested that Liu Zheng go to the Chen family and his son.

After all, the father and son of the Chen family are more knowledgeable about current affairs and will not coexist with Xuzhou City.

After understanding the current situation in Xuzhou City, Liu Zheng also understood what he should do, he took people to the dock fort of the Mi family to rest for a day, and the next day he led the crowd to Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou outside the city has long been martial law, because Tai Shi Ci in the first two days has led the crowd to come here, although at this time Tai Shi Ci only left more than 8,000 people, but more than 8,000 people besieged the city is enough, anyway, the pottery merchants and Chen Deng father and son in the city will not go out of the city to fight with Tai Shi Ci, blindly besiege the city, waiting for Liu Zheng's army to arrive, and then it is enough to attack together.

On the city of Xuzhou, because of the siege of the city, Tao Qian's eldest son pottery merchant and Chen Deng were waiting for the army outside the city early at the city tower.

Although Tao Qian has great ambitions, but his two sons have no ambitions, not even the idea of being an official, after Tao Qian left Xuzhou, although the pottery merchant temporarily managed Xuzhou on behalf of his father, but most of them were mainly Chen Deng's father and son, and the pottery merchant was just a name.

"Yuanlong (Chen Dengbiao), what's the situation now, are those people outside the city increasing, and the enemy army is coming to reinforce again?"

The pottery merchant was a little worried, and after seeing the increase in the number of people on Liu Zheng's side, the sorrow on his face naturally became stronger, and he could only turn to Chen Deng for help.

Chen Deng, who is only 26 years old, is quite famous in Xuzhou City, and is the most famous celebrity in the neighborhood, and has won Tao Qian's trust.

Although the potter is not interested in being an official on weekdays, his relationship with Chen Deng in private is still good, and both of them are called brothers.

"Brother Tao, don't be afraid, although the enemy's strength has increased, but we still have 8,000 soldiers and horses in the city, last night I asked my father to go to the city to recruit village warriors, based on the people in the city to recruit thousands of soldiers and horses, it is not a problem, calculated, we can at least collect more than 10,000 troops, unless the enemy army has 30,000 people to attack the city, otherwise I am sure that I can block the enemy's attack."

After hearing Chen Deng's words, the anxious look on his face calmed down a little, but he was still worried.

"I heard from the soldiers who fled from the north that my father had ...... in Qingzhou."

The potter didn't finish his sentence, because it was his sadness to talk about it.

Chen Deng's calm expression at the beginning, when the potter talked about this matter, he couldn't help but change slightly.

"Brother Tao, in this matter, I can only advise you to say a word of condolences and change, after all, Lord Thorn Shi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and there will always be such a day, and such a result may not be a good thing."

Chen Deng didn't know how to persuade the potters not to be sad, but now that things had happened, it was useless for the potters to be sad, and if they had time to be sad, it was better to find a way to deal with these enemy troops outside the city.

When the potter and Chen Deng were communicating, Liu Zheng had already met with Tai Shi Ci, and after learning some details of Tai Shi Ci's expedition from Huainan, Liu Zheng took Tai Shi Ci and began to appear outside the city, preparing to negotiate with Chen Deng in the city.

With Liu Zheng's current strength outside Xuzhou City, it is not difficult to conquer Xuzhou City, Tai Shici's 8,000 soldiers and horses, more than 10,000 people led by Liu Zheng, and some private soldiers from the Mi family, there are also 30,000 troops.

The 30,000-strong army dealt with Xuzhou City, which had only a few thousand soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng was very sure, but Liu Zheng took a fancy to Chen Deng's ability and wanted to persuade Chen Deng to surrender, so it was best not to kill him.

"Upstairs in the city, but Chen Yuanlong?"

Chen Deng, who was communicating with the potter, was attracted by Liu Zheng's voice, raised his head, looked at the city, and saw Liu Zheng in front of the team at a glance.

After seeing Liu Zheng, Chen Deng's gaze changed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally responded with his mouth.

"It's Chen Yuanlong below, who is Your Excellency? Why are you besieging my Xuzhou City? ”

At this time, Chen Deng didn't know that the famous Liu Zheng had arrived in Xuzhou, although he knew that these people in the city were Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses. But he only thought that these people were Liu Zheng's army, and Liu Zheng should be in Qingzhou at this time.
