"My name is Liu Zheng, I don't know if Mr. Yuanlong has heard of it?"

Liu Zheng is the same age as Chen Deng, so he still has a good impression of Chen Deng.

If Chen Deng can be recruited, it can give Liu Zheng one more available person.

"Liu Zheng!"

After Chen Deng heard Liu Zheng's self-report, his expression changed greatly.

Who Liu Zheng is, he naturally knows very well. Even if you don't talk about the things that Liu Zheng has done in Qingzhou recently, even some of the things Liu Zheng has done in the past few years are enough to make Chen Deng pay attention to him and remember him.

"Aren't you in Qingzhou, why did you come to Xuzhou?"

There was some surprise on Chen Deng's face, but although he was surprised, Chen Deng quickly calmed himself down and responded to Liu Zheng.

"Your Tao Qian assassination history, died in the chaos in Qingzhou, and now Xuzhou has no owner, I, Liu Zheng, naturally can't watch Xuzhou become more and more chaotic, so I volunteered to take over Xuzhou, and I hope that Brother Yuanlong will open the door of convenience and let my men and horses enter the city."

Chen Deng and the pottery merchants on the side were a little sad at this time because of Tao Qian's death, and they were naturally mentioned by Liu Zheng again, naturally they were even more sad, but they had to face this fact.

"Liu Zheng, you brutalized my father, and you still want to attack Xuzhou, my potter and you are incompatible!"

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, the potter on the side was naturally angry, although the potter had no interest in being an official, but he was still very interested in Liu Zheng's father-killing enemy, and if there was an opportunity, the potter would naturally avenge his father.

But after Liu Zheng saw the potter, he did not despise the potter, but explained to the potter.

"This must be Tao Qian's relatives in the history of assassination, I want to correct you, your father Tao Qian was not killed by me, he died in the chaos, it has nothing to do with me, if you insist on saying that I killed your father, then I can't help it, what I want to say is that your father died on the battlefield, which is the supreme honor, and some people don't have the opportunity to die on the battlefield."

"I know, you have no interest in the official career, after opening the city gate, I will not embarrass your Tao family, you and your younger brother can retain the family bloodline, you can choose to continue to stay in Xuzhou, or you can find a place to live in seclusion, and be a happy prince from now on."

For the pottery merchants, Liu Zheng has no interest, this person himself is not famous in history, and he has no intention of career, if he is willing to surrender, Liu Zheng will not embarrass them, anyway, between Liu Zheng and Tao Qian, there is not too much grudge itself.

"My father died at the hands of your men, can you still say that it has nothing to do with you, are you a fool to me?"

The potter still had to argue with Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng ignored the potter, but continued to look at Chen Deng, who was the main person in Xuzhou whether he could surrender.

"Brother Yuanlong, you have also seen my people, 30,000 troops are here, in your Xuzhou City, there are thousands of soldiers and horses, if you want to defend Xuzhou City, what do you think are the chances of winning?"

"I won't say anything else, without Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, how many Taishou people in Xuzhou can still obey your orders?"

"In the whole of Xuzhou, you should have no reinforcements, and the soldiers and horses under my command can continue to be mobilized, it is only a matter of time before you are defeated, listen to my advice, don't do useless resistance."

"I'm a good person who treats prisoners, and Cao Bao in your army is now under my command."

Liu Zheng said and looked at Cao Bao, and at the same time glanced at Cao Bao, Cao Bao naturally knew what to do at this time, so he took a few steps forward and stood beside Liu Zheng.

Cao Bao was originally a general under Tao Qian, so he naturally knew Chen Deng and others.

"Mr. Yuanlong, you still know me."

"General Cao, you are really a good general, in vain Lord Shi trusts you so much, but you are on the verge of joining the enemy."

For Cao Bao, Chen Deng and others are not familiar with it, about Cao Bao taking refuge in Liu Zheng, they also knew a few days ago, but at this time, when they went to find Cao Bao's family, they found that Cao Bao's family, big and small, had been picked up by the Mi family a few days ago.

Therefore, Chen Deng knew that Cao Bao's defection to the enemy had been premeditated a long time ago.

Cao Bao was said by Chen Deng, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking, Tao Qian said that it was okay for him Cao Bao, it was Cao Bao who defected to the enemy, sorry Tao Qian.

However, for the current Cao Bao, Tao Qian is already in the past, and Liu Zheng is the person he should be loyal to.

"Mr. Yuanlong, it's not that I, Cao Bao, I'm sorry for Tao Qian, but because of the situation, I had to do it, but later after I took refuge in Lord Liu Zheng, I knew that Lord Liu Zheng is the master, only by taking refuge in Lord Liu Zheng, you can have a way to live, listen to my advice, surrender, I read that everyone is a former colleague, and I guarantee your life."

Cao Bao understood that Liu Zheng wanted to persuade him to surrender, so he said a few words to Chen Deng and others to persuade him to surrender, as for whether Chen Deng and others could really listen to him and surrender, it was unknown.

Chen Deng's face is still as calm as ever, for Chen Deng, Cao Bao's choice cannot replace him, Cao Bao can represent himself, but he Chen Deng can't, Chen Deng represents the entire Xuzhou family, the interests of these families are what Chen Deng wants to choose.

"Lord Liu Zheng, your strength really makes me feel tricky, but if you want to let us open the city and surrender with just a few words, isn't it a bit of child's play?"

Liu Zheng was waiting for Chen Deng's answer, and Chen Deng's sudden words made Liu Zheng's frowning brows soothed a little.

Originally, Liu Zheng couldn't see Chen Deng's intentions clearly, but after hearing Chen Deng's words, Liu Zheng knew that Chen Deng didn't want to fight, he actually had the intention of making peace, but he didn't have special trust in Liu Zheng, and he needed Liu Zheng to show a more convincing appearance before he could take a step back and start peace talks between the two sides.

"Mr. Yuanlong, I can stand here and talk to you lightly, it is already my greatest sincerity, I came down from Qingzhou, passed by several counties and counties, and did not make a big move, because I know that you are a person who knows the times, we can sit down and have a good talk, as long as you are willing to surrender, I can accept the conditions proposed, how about it, think about it?"

When Chen Deng heard Liu Zheng say this, he didn't refuse Liu Zheng, so he could only turn his head to look at the potter.

After a few words with the potter, Chen Deng poked his head out again.

"Lord Liu Zheng, the stakes are very high, it's not up to me Chen Deng to have the final say, we need to go back and discuss, and I hope to wait here for a while."

"Alright, I'll wait here for you for an hour, and after an hour, you need to get back to me."
