"Three...... Three hundred thousand? ”

Hearing what the man said, Zhen Rong couldn't help but be surprised, if this Cao Cao really came with 300,000 horses, wouldn't his 5,000 soldiers and horses let people drown in a bubble of urine?

Just when Zhen Rong was thinking about how to return to the scene, someone suddenly scolded the man: "Yuanlong, how did you speak?" General Zhenrong is the general of the lord, the pillar of Xuzhou, he said that if he can lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to break the enemy, he will definitely be able to do it, how can you allow this yellow-mouthed child to be presumptuous here? ”

The person who spoke was an old man with gray hair, but unlike Tao Qian, although this person was old, he was capable.

After the man was scolded by the old man, he did not argue, and said to the old man respectfully: "What my father taught me is that Yuan Long knows that he is wrong. ”

Then, the old man turned around and apologized to Zhenrong: "My son Chen Deng has offended General Zhenrong by speaking disrespectfully, and I ask the general for forgiveness." ”

Saying that, the old man said to Tao Qian again: "Lord, don't blame the little boy for talking too much, questioning the talent of General Zhenrong, in my opinion, those who can raise the prestige of my Xuzhou in a battle must be General Zhenrong, the lord must not worry, General Zhenrong wants 5,000 soldiers and horses, just give him 5,000 soldiers and horses, General Zhenrong will be able to defeat the enemy, break the incoming enemy, protect the land of our state, and raise the prestige of our army!" ”

"What my father said is extremely true, Chen Deng should not question General Zhenrong, and ask the lord to send General Zhenrong out of battle to break the enemy."

The two of them are a father and son, the old is the father Chen Qi, and the younger is the son Chen Deng, their family is a famous family in Xuzhou, in Xuzhou, even Tao Qian has to give him three points.

Although Zhen Rong was arrogant, he also knew that their father and son were deliberately fooling him, but Zhen Rong boasted first, and others praised him again and again, making him angry, not happy, and not daring to speak out, so he could only stand there speechless.

At this time, a middle-aged man standing opposite Chen Qi's father and son walked out, only to see that this person was graceful and luxurious, quite magnanimous, he was Mi Zhu, and he was also a wealthy family in Xuzhou, compared with their two fathers and sons, their identity and status were only high.

I saw Mi Zhu say to Chen Qi and his son: "Don't embarrass General Rongrong anymore, now the enemy is present, we should work together, not make things difficult for each other, Cao Jun came this time with great momentum, if we don't unite as one and fight the enemy together, Xuzhou will inevitably be in danger of destruction." ”

Tao Qian also said: "What Mi Beijia said is extremely true, Cao's army is menacing, and the old man still needs to rely on the princes to work together to help the old man retreat from the enemy in order to protect Xuzhou Antai." ”

Tao Qian said, supporting his old body, standing up tremblingly, and then bowing to everyone.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help Tao Qian.

Chen Qi said: "The lord doesn't need to panic, I see that Cao Cao came this time, although the momentum is huge, but it is not invincible, as long as we use a little trick, we will definitely be able to make him unable to get benefits and obediently withdraw from the army." ”

Tao Qian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Chen Qi: "Please Chen Hanyu come quickly!" ”

Chen Jue was not in a hurry, and signaled Chen Deng with his eyes, Chen Deng understood, stepped forward, and said to Tao Qian: "My father meant: gather the people into the city, and then stick to the city, and implement the strategy of clearing the field in Xuzhou, Cao Cao led an army of 300,000 this time, if my expectations are good, Yanzhou at this time must be empty, the army is fighting outside, the time is long, the rear is very easy to be chaotic, and although Cao Cao's troops are numerous, the daily cost of money and food is also amazing, as long as we persist for a few months, Cao Cao will be short of food and grass, and will inevitably withdraw the army, by that time, Let's contact the other princes, take advantage of his retreat, and kill him by surprise, at that time, let alone protect Xuzhou, even if it is to defeat Cao Cao and occupy Yanzhou, it is not impossible! ”

Chen Qi nodded his head while listening to his son's explanation, seemingly satisfied with his son's performance.

To be honest, the strategy of these two fathers and sons is not not vicious, and they know well the weakness of Cao Cao's coming this time, if Tao Qian really implements their strategy, not to mention whether Cao Cao will lose, even if he can win, it will be very difficult.

But Tao Qian is a timid and unassertive and ambitious person, he is like an old man who only wants to live a stable life, disgusted and afraid of fighting and killing, as soon as he heard that Cao Cao led so many troops to invade Xuzhou, he was so frightened that his feet weakened, and he asked his subordinates for help, but when Chen Deng proposed a ruthless time, he began to hesitate again.

"This, this ······"

Tao Qian hesitated.

Tao Qian hesitated for a long time before he said: "Although Yuanlong's plan is wonderful, once the wall is cleared, even if Cao Bing can be retreated, Xuzhou will be hit hard, and the people's houses and fields will not be spared, how will they live in the future?"

Chen Qi was stunned, he thought that as soon as his son's clever plan came out, Tao Qian would be overjoyed, but now instead of a trace of joy, he looked embarrassed, worried that the people's fields and houses were coming, you know, now it is a murderous pressure of 300,000 troops under the banner of revenge, if Xuzhou is broken, not to mention the people's houses and fields, even their lives can not be saved, what kind of life do you talk about?

If this were for other princes, if there were such excellent strategists around him who offered such a subtle plan for themselves, they would have jumped up happily a long time ago, and they would be rewarded heavily, but this old man Tao Qian is really not what a prince should be.

Chen Qi, who was very disappointed by Tao Qian's answer, laughed instead of being angry, he smiled at Tao Qian: "The lord is really the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and the people of Xuzhou have this benevolent lord, which is really a blessing for the people." ”

Chen Qi said, turned his head to look at Chen Deng, and scolded him: "Idiot, do you hear that? Who told you to come up with such a bad idea, and even asked the lord to do such unkind and unrighteous things, and ruined the name of the lord's benevolence and righteousness, what will you pay for? ”
