Chen Deng returned home, and Chen Jue called him to the study.

"Father, is there anything wrong with calling the child over?" Chen Deng said respectfully.

Chen Jue looked at the heroic Chen Deng, and was relieved in his heart. Chen Deng's talent is not only in Xuzhou, but even if it is placed in the top strategists today. Every time Chen Qi thinks of this, he is proud, proud that he has such a son. Because Chen Deng's talent is too outstanding, Chen Jue will always consult with him on some important matters, and most of them will adopt Chen Deng's opinion.

And today Chen Qi has an important matter to discuss with him.

"Yuanlong, I have an important matter for my father that I want to discuss with you. This matter is related to the future of the Chen family, and it is very important to be a father. After Chen Jue blocked the left and right, he said with a serious expression.

Chen Deng recently heard the news about Cao Cao's contact with various families, and said tentatively: "Could it be Cao Cao's side?" Did they come into contact with my Chen family? ”

Chen Qi smiled with satisfaction, Chen Deng was really smart, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Seeing Chen Jue's expression, Chen Deng knew that he had guessed correctly, and continued to ask: "Cao Cao has been plotting in Xuzhou for a long time. I don't know what conditions to give my Chen family to make my father so cautious. ”

"Cao Sikong has already sent a henchman to my Chen family, and he attaches great importance to the prestige of the Chen family in Xuzhou. At the same time, you are very appreciative of Yuanlong, Cao Sikong said that as long as my Chen family assists him in getting Xuzhou, he will definitely guarantee the status of the Chen family in Xuzhou. Chen Qi said leisurely.

Chen Deng smiled, Cao Cao This is a blank check, the Chen family is already the first family in Xuzhou, and it doesn't have much effect at all. Chen Deng knew that Cao Cao must have made similar promises to other families, so Chen Deng didn't listen to this.

"The child estimates that Cao Cao has also promised these to other families, my Chen family is unique, there is not much temptation, but other families are different, in order to further develop the family status, they will definitely work very hard to help Cao Cao. Cao Cao, this is an empty glove white wolf. Chen Deng told Cao Cao's intentions.

"Cao Sikong is still relatively reliable. If my Chen family doesn't do it, other families will do it too, but Cao Bao has been staring at our Chen family. Chen Qi touched his beard and said.

Chen Deng was silent, the Chen family has a huge influence in Xuzhou, and it has long caused dissatisfaction among other families, and now Cao Cao's actions have made other families see the opportunity to replace the Chen family, which makes Chen Deng a little embarrassed, after all, he is Liu Bei's military advisor, and he has to take into account the gains and losses of the family.

Chen Jue saw Chen Deng's worries and said with a smile: "Yuan Long is worried about Liu Xuande?" ”

"The lord treats the child well, and the child can also show his talents in the lord, and now the child is asked to do that kind of unfaithful thing, the child is really a little bit uncontrollable." Chen Deng nodded, and Chen Qi said that he was in his heart.

Chen Jue sighed, although Chen Deng is talented, he is still young, and some things are still incomprehensible.

"Yuanlong. As the old saying goes: A good minister chooses a lord and a soldier. With the talent of Yuan Long, it can be reused anywhere. For my father, I want to ask, is Liu Bei really a master? Chen Qi said directly.

When Chen Deng heard this, he fell into deep thought. At first, he joined Liu Bei's shogunate in order to protect the interests of his family. Now that Chen Deng thinks back, Liu Bei doesn't seem to be the master in his heart. Liu Bei's most trusted is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Chen Deng is only regarded by Liu Bei as a useful strategist, nothing more.

"Liu Bei pays attention to benevolence and righteousness in front of people, but in fact he is a ruthless hero, but it is ridiculous that those flat-headed people really think that Liu Bei is a benevolent and righteous person. Since Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, his father knew that this person's intentions were not small, and after succeeding to the Xuzhou Assassin History, although he united with my Chen family, he married the Mi family, raised the Mi family, and secretly suppressed other families, and my Chen family was more or less affected. Tao Qian's two sons were driven out of Xuzhou by Liu Bei, judging by his words and deeds, Liu Bei is by no means as benevolent and righteous as he seems. For the sake of my father, Liu Bei has already received Cao Cao's contact with my Chen family. That's why he slowly took back Yuanlong's rights step by step. If we succeed in repelling Cao Cao this time, our Chen family will face Liu Bei's calculations. Chen Jue said sharply.

"No wonder at today's meeting, Liu Bei asked me to assist in administrative work, it turned out that he wanted to take back my right to participate in the military aircraft. It seems that I am not so trusted in Liu Bei's heart. Thank you father for today's reminder. "Chen Deng is a smart person, and he quickly contacted Liu Bei's abnormality today.

Chen Qi stroked his back and said emotionally: "Yuanlong, you are the unicorn of my Chen family, and I am proud that my father has your son." You're still young and you can't see through some things. As a father, I want you to grow up quickly. For the sake of my father, the Chen family will be handed over to you in the future. ”

"Hmmm! Father rest assured. Chen Deng nodded vigorously.

"So what are we going to do next?" Chen Deng asked.

"It depends on how you, Liu Bei's military advisor, arranges it?" Chen Qi smiled playfully.

Chen Deng's eyes rolled, and he instantly had a realization, and said with a smile: "Father is right, the child is Liu Bei's military advisor, and there are some things that really need to be done by the child." ”

"Okay, okay." Chen Qi laughed happily.

That night, Chen Deng made a detailed plan, and this plan was to help Cao Cao gain Xuzhou.

After the plan was all perfected, Chen Deng shook his head and sighed: "Liu Bei, it's not that I, Chen Yuanlong, am unsympathetic, in troubled times, everyone can't help themselves." ”

For the sake of the family, Chen Deng could only abandon Liu Bei.

On the second day, Chen Deng went directly to the Assassin's Mansion to assist Liu Bei in handling the administrative work according to Liu Yu's instructions, and did not interfere in the arrangement of the military aircraft, Liu Bei did not ask him, and he would not take the initiative to interfere. Liu Bei understood that Chen Deng understood what he meant, and he admired Chen Deng, a person who understood affairs, so he was a lot more relieved of Chen Deng.

After a few days, Chen Deng had already sorted out the entire Thorn History Mansion in an orderly manner, and found many problems, and after solving these problems, the work efficiency of the Xuzhou Thorn History Mansion improved a lot.

Liu Bei sighed that capable people can show their talents wherever they are placed.

After Chen Deng solved these problems, he handed over the work to the subordinates of the Assassin's Mansion, and then Chen Deng took the initiative to manage logistics issues such as grain and grass transportation, Liu Bei did not refuse, and directly gave Chen Deng this right, as long as Chen Deng did not interfere in the military, anything could be done.

As soon as Chen Deng took over, he began to reform the transportation and storage of grain and grass, greatly reducing waste, and being able to send grain and grass to the defenders everywhere in a timely manner. Even Guan Yu, a person who is not compatible with the scholars, is full of praise for Chen Deng.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Deng could only say sorry in his heart.
