There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason, everything has some reason, and most of the things that are headless and brainless are inexplicable and illogical, and most of them are only done by mentally ill people.

Liu Bei is more square now.

Yuan Er is coming.

General Ji Ling commanded 50,000 troops, known as 150,000, and smashed Xuzhou.

The messenger sent by Liu Bei to find Ji Ling came back, and it was carried back by the small soldiers who accompanied him, and he really carried it, because there was only one head left, and the rest was warmly retained by the hospitable Comrade Ji Ling.

Although he didn't say a word, Liu Bei also understood what Ji Ling meant, and couldn't help but be a little square.

Isn't there a process of saluting first and then soldiering, so it doesn't fit the process!

Besides, he is a newly promoted royal relative of the Han Dynasty!

The second child of the Yuan family, you operate like this, do you still take Emperor Han in your eyes?

Is there any royal law?

Is there any way to be a minister?

Although he was square, Liu Bei still reminded himself not to mess up, first he comforted the remaining frightened soldiers and let them go down to rest, and after wandering around the government for a while, his hair and beard were torn off a lot, and he still couldn't come up with any good plans, so he could only gather all the personnel again to discuss countermeasures.

"Big brother! Outrageous! Bring a certain person to mention the head of this impudent man! Zhang Fei screamed, waving his arms, his robe was crooked, revealing a large handful of heart protection hairs, and by the way, he almost knocked off Sun Gan's hat on the side.

"......" Sun Qian glanced at Zhang Fei, raised his hat without saying a word, and then shrank to the side, avoiding the friendly damage of Zhang Fei's indiscriminate map cannon, anyway, he had just arrived, and it was not a matter of government affairs that he was good at, so naturally he was a two-two-three wooden man, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei, who was a little embarrassed, and asked Zhang Fei to sit down, and then he also half-closed his eyes, and did not make any remarks, after all, Guan Yu was just a ranger before, and military affairs and other things have been slowly comprehended over the years, not knowing everything, and it is true that the strength is not advantageous, and the effect of personal martial arts in large-scale corps operations is not very obvious, so he sat quietly and observed.

Gu Yong sat aside, brushing his beard, and couldn't think of anything for a while. After all, Gu Yongdian's skills are all in civil and diplomatic affairs, as for the military ones, that is, some basic skills attached to the original values, and the slightly more advanced ones are not at all, and even if he brings more than a hundred soldiers, it is possible to bring them crookedly, let alone fight in battle, so Gu Yong is sitting here, which actually means that there are people in this pit.

The moose has some numb claws. He is not intellectually retarded, but most of his strategies are used in shopping malls, such as how to use low to buy and sell high, how to induce speculation, how to cross the market in different places, etc., these commercial means are naturally no problem, and he also has a lot of experience, but if he wants to make suggestions for the current military situation, he can ensure that the weak defeat the strong, which is somewhat beyond his current level.

The three and a half buckets of water strategists didn't say a word, but it was Zhang Fei who spoke with a reckless buff from the audience, and Liu Bei was also a little embarrassed, brushing his beard and blinking.

Facing the anus, it is true that the anus is not enough.

Liu Bei now has more hands on hand the Danyang soldiers left behind by Tao Qian, but the number is not much, more than 3,000, plus the troops he brought before, that is, about 6,000 veterans, and the rest of the soldiers are ordinary soldiers from counties and counties recruited locally in Xuzhou, fresh and hot, but with a lot of water.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have strengthened their training and squeezed the juice fiercely during this period, there is still a certain gap between them and the formation of the troops. And even if these soldiers are useful, they are only barely more than 10,000, and it is okay to stay in the city to protect themselves, but it is a little difficult to retreat from the enemy in the battle.

Even with the added value of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's personal martial arts, it is not easy. Ji Ling is also a veteran for many years, he walked very steadily, conquered a city, stationed down, and after rectification, he waited for the personnel sent by the rear to govern before continuing to set off, although it was slow, but there was no flaw at all.

Lure the enemy and ambush?

Most of the areas in this area are flat, coupled with the dry climate in autumn, the soldiers have a little movement, and the stirring smoke and dust can be seen more than ten miles away, ambush? How to ambush? Dig a hole in the ground? Not to mention such a large amount of work, just to say that there is not much thickness of the array that comes out of the pit at the time of engagement, it is almost the same as a backwater battle, one is water and the other is a pit, and it will not be a miracle to play well with high soldier intensity, but the vast majority of people who play backwater end up playing in the water by themselves.

And the key is that Liu Bei is reluctant!

The current capital is the original headquarters of the soldiers and horses plus the Danyang soldiers, these 6,000 people, if it is consumed, it will not be easy to replenish it.

What especially gives Liu Bei a headache is that the autumn harvest is now approaching, and this war broke out in Xuzhou, which will definitely affect the harvest, and if the surrounding Zhuanghe is harvested by Yuan Shu, what will he eat from now until next year?

At that time, there will be no money and food, the army will be discouraged, and if it is not defeated, it will be defeated.

If you want to defeat Ji Ling's army quickly, you must defeat the strong with the weak, normally speaking, the two strategies of water and fire are the most useful methods, and Liu Bei is naturally clear about this matter, but knowing is knowing, how to use it is the most critical issue, it is not something that can be done casually, and the right time and place are indispensable.

Xuzhou is water, but the problem is that autumn is approaching, the water level is low, to attack with water even if the other party is time-consuming and laborious, may not be able to have much effect, if it is fire, it is in line with the time, but the problem is that the other party also knows that autumn is coming to be careful of fire prevention, so the route of the troops are far away from the danger area, the most important thing is that most of the land here in Xuzhou is flat, there is not much valley that can be used, Daze and other terrain.

Therefore, Liu Bei thought about it, but he really didn't have a move, so he set his eyes on Chen Deng, who had not said a word until now.

Chen Deng looked at his nose and nose and mouth, and sat motionless like a statue. He knew that Liu Bei would definitely find him in the end, but Chen Deng was not in a good mood now. In Chen Deng's opinion, this time Yuan Shu's army pressed the realm, and it was Liu Bei's own effort!

Liu Bei turned out to be with Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan was an ally with Yuan Shu, so Liu Bei naturally belonged to Yuan Shu's camp. Therefore, Liu Bei took over the inheritance of Tao Qian from the same camp, and although Yuan Shu was not satisfied, he was not very opposed.

And now that Liu Bei has just taken over Xuzhou, the position has not yet been hot, so he turned his face and did not recognize people, not only did he not follow Yuan Shu's strategic intentions, but also paid tribute to the court.

Yuan Shu has such a violent temper, can he bear it?

For Yuan Shu, Liu Bei's identity as a relative of the emperor is of any use?

Can I eat it, can I drink it?

Will the imperial court allocate grain and grass to Liu Bei because of this identity?

So now for the sake of a false name that is not of much use, and it turns out to cause such a big trouble, Liu Bei is embarrassed to convene everyone to discuss?

Besides, Chen Deng had also persuaded Liu Bei before about this tribute, so that he didn't have to be in such a hurry, and he would talk about it after a while, but Liu Bei was in front of him, and he turned his face behind his back and sent someone over to lick it, what did Chen Deng think?

"This ...... Alas! Liu Bei sighed, and then looked at Chen Deng sincerely, his eyes blinked, his eyes were red, and tears filled his eyes, "I regret that I shouldn't listen to Yuanlong's advice, and I am tired of the people of Xuzhou who suffered this military disaster, and it is a mistake to be prepared!" Ah! What a pain! What a pain! ”

Liu Bei "snapped" and hit his thigh, looking extremely painful.

In early autumn, there are few clothes, which is really painful.

"Big brother!"

"Lord!"

"Envoy!"

Suddenly, everyone in the hall spoke out to comfort Liu Bei.

"So you don't need to be so ......" Chen Deng also arched his hand, and maintained the same action with everyone, but he muttered in his heart, he regretted it now, regretted that he had a fart! That's a nice thing to say, wait a minute, you will definitely say that you want to pity the people of Xuzhou or something...... I really want you to go to Yuan Shu to sell your ass now, well, no, go to Yuan Shu to beg for mercy, and sacrifice one person to protect Xuzhou, okay? Would you like it or not?

"Poor people of Xuzhou, suffering from this unwarranted disaster...... Liu Bei's tears turned in his eyes, turned, shining with moving brilliance, "I can't bear it...... I also hope that you will contribute to save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water......"

Although Liu Bei was talking about everyone, in fact, Liu Bei kept staring at Chen Deng, and the eyes of others also followed Chen Deng.

Anything else is good to say, Zhang Feiyuan's eyes, Guan Yu's squinting eyes, and swishing eyes were all thrown over, Chen Deng couldn't help but shiver, and said helplessly: "If you want to protect the people of Xuzhou, you have a plan to go down, but let the envoy be wronged, and I don't know if I should talk about it or ......not."

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Yuanlong, please talk about it, what can it be if someone is wronged!" ”

Chen Deng nodded and said: "If you send a letter to the king, you are willing to advance and retreat with the general and coordinate the dispatch of troops...... Naturally, the people of Xuzhou can be protected from this military disaster......"

Letters and things can't solve the problem completely, but at least they show an attitude.

Why did Yuan Shu send troops to fight Xuzhou?

Isn't it because he saw Liu Bei's appearance of wanting to stand on his own?

If Liu Bei is ignored now, then what will Sun Ce's side do?

If everyone under Yuan Shu is low, what kind of PY transactions do they have with Liu Xie, how can Yuan Shu continue to play well?

Therefore, Chen Deng pointed directly to the point, if Liu Bei gave in to Yuan Shu and was willing to cooperate in the attack, then Ji Ling's soldiers would stay in Xuzhou at most, and would not directly fight with Liu Bei, and the so-called safety of the people of Xuzhou would naturally not have any problems.

Didn't you say that you want to protect the people of Xuzhou, so that you can protect the people of Xuzhou......

"This ......" Liu Bei's eyes flashed, he put back his tears and groaned. Liu Bei is not a fool, Chen Deng is talking about protecting the people of Xuzhou, and he didn't say that he is protecting Liu Bei, but the problem is that Chen Deng did solve the problem raised by Liu Bei just now, so Liu Bei is not easy to say anything.

Of course, according to Chen Deng's plan, it is indeed possible to avoid fighting, but the same Liu Bei will inevitably not be able to continue to stay in Xuzhou, even if he thinks about it with his toes, Yuan Shu will definitely let Ji Ling stay in Xuzhou to control the soldiers and horses, and then send someone to take over Liu Bei's position, and transfer Liu Bei to Shouchun to observe for a period of time, which means that sacrificing Liu Bei can make tens of millions of Xuzhou people happy......

It also means that Liu Bei's hard-earned inheritance has been handed over to others, how can this make Liu Bei willing?

"This ...... The post-general is suspicious by nature, this ...... Even if a certain person is willing to reconcile, the general may not be willing...... Something is wrong...... Liu Bei shook his head, vetoed the proposal, and looked at Chen Deng earnestly, "Can Yuanlong have another plan?" ”

Chen Deng lowered his eyes and said, "In this way, there is only one way left to wait for help...... If Cao Pingdong leads the troops, the danger of Xuzhou can naturally be solved......"

"Going to Yanzhou for help?" Liu Bei frowned, as if he had found some problems, but he couldn't remember what the problem was for a while.

Chen Deng nodded slightly, and said without raising his eyelids: "Your Majesty is new, and the imperial court is newly sealed...... General Hou's move undoubtedly took the face of the imperial court...... The envoy and General Pingdong are ministers of the same court, so naturally they also have the responsibility of watching and helping each other...... "Chen Deng did not offer any risky strategies, but a dignified plan. With more than 10,000 soldiers, if they fight in the field, they may not be able to defeat Ji Ling's troops head-on, but there is no problem in holding the city, as long as Cao Cao comes in time, maybe he can end the battle before the autumn harvest.

It's just that it's certainly unpleasant to put your hopes in someone else......

Liu Bei turned his head to look at the others, and saw that the others were also staring at each other, and they couldn't make any good suggestions, so the only way at the moment was naturally the best way......

The meeting ended like this, and everyone went home to find their own mother.

Chen Deng staggered back to his own mansion.

Chen Jue glanced at it and said lightly: "Has Liu Zhijun adopted the strategy of sticking to asking for help?" ”

Chen Deng arched his hand, regarded as a salute to his father, and replied: "Although it has not been stated, it is most likely, hehe......" Although Liu Bei did not make a clear statement, Chen Deng also estimated that Liu Bei would definitely use this plan in the end. Reluctant to carry it head-on, and unwilling to be wronged, what else can I do?

In fact, you can also rely on the strength of the moment to resist, such as clearing the wilderness with a strong wall, and then sending Guan Yu and Zhang Fei out, guerrilla threats to Ji Ling's flank and grain transportation routes, Liu Bei is used as bait, sticking to the city, so drag it on, as long as the tactics are used properly, there is still a fight.

But this tactic is too damaging for the ground in Xuzhou, Chen Deng naturally does not want to see it, Liu Bei may also be able to think of it, but Liu Bei is also unwilling to adopt such a strategy.

Because of such a tactical strategy, it will be strongly repelled by the ground warriors in Xuzhou, even if he wins Ji Ling this time, some of the reputations that Liu Bei has cultivated in Xuzhou will be completely ruined.

The hands of the enemy and the hands of one's own people are completely different things.

"@#¥%......" Chen Qi muttered four words vaguely in his mouth, which he couldn't hear clearly at all, but Chen Deng could guess that he was talking about Liu Bei, which was not a good word anyway.

"Father, the child got a few new Songjiang perch the day before yesterday, and it can be ...... for the fish" Chen Deng sat down, and while letting the attendant give an order for the cook to kill the fish, he said meaningfully, "The fish of Songjiang are numerous, and there are many of them...... Those who feed on plants and trees, although it is easy to eat, but the flesh and blood stink, it is difficult to climb the elegant platform...... Fierce as a perch, chasing fish and shrimp for food, it is the best choice......"

Chen Qi nodded, stroked his beard and said: "The fish play in the river, Weng is stable in the beach, only the will of the Taigong can be free." ”

Chen Deng naturally understood, and for a while, the father and son smiled slightly, sat down, and stopped talking.

The autumn wind passed through the hall and blew the water in the courtyard pool, sparkling and fluctuating, blowing the trees in the courtyard, swaying, and it seemed to bring out some sound of gold and iron......
