Verse 292: Vicious trickery
Chen Gong stared at Lu Bu without saying a word, as if it was dim before the rainstorm, which was suffocating. Lu Bu didn't dare to look directly, so he had to drink wine, looked away, raised his head and drank the liquor in the cup. , the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at Chen Gong.
"Hmph~" Chen Gong sneered, no longer spoke, but turned his head and walked straight back.
"Hey~hey~ Gongtai ......" Lu Bu flashed in front of Chen Gong with a brisk step: "Where is Gongtai going?" β
Chen Deng looked at Lu Bu coldly: "Without him, treat yourself behind closed doors, and you will be killed!" β
"Ahh Seeing that the most trusted Chen Gong was like this, he hurriedly said: "Gongtai can't be like this, there are still tens of thousands of armor soldiers in my city, so waiting to be killed, wouldn't it be cheap for two thieves?" β
Chen Gong moved, raised his right hand high, and pointed to the wine jar on the table: "What does the general mean by this?" β
"This ......" Lu Bu thought for a moment, remembered all kinds of past, suddenly his eyes widened, and he kicked over the wine jar: "I am inseparable from the thief!" β
Lu Bu turned around and bowed to Chen Gong: "Dare to ask Mr. What is the best plan?" β
Seeing that Lu Bu was cheering up again, Chen Gong couldn't help but nod and helped Lu Bu up: "The general should immediately strengthen his troops and arrange the city defense; Second, immediately send envoys to Yuan Tan and Liu Bei, these two people have a deep grudge with Guan Yan, and if they promise benefits, they will come to help! β
"Good!" Lu Bu was angry at this time, and he responded on the spot: "The general should personally deploy the city defense, and as for Yuan Tan and Liu Bei, they will bother the public platform!" β
"Hmmm! This side is the style of General Fei! Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction, turned around and hurriedly left.
After Lu Bu, he gathered the generals and ordered Hou Cheng and Song Xian to lead 5,000 men and horses to guard the east gate, Wei Xu and Hao Meng to lead 5,000 men and horses to guard the north gate, Cheng Lian and Cao Xing to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the south gate, and LΓΌ Bu to lead 5,000 men and horses to defend the west gate that Guan Yan directly attacked. Chen Gong led 10,000 horses to be deployed in the center for support.
The city defense has been placed, and Chen Gong sent two fast horses, carrying handwritten letters, all the way to the Bohai Sea, all the way to Xiapi. At this time, the armies of Guan Yan and Cao Cao were also mighty, attacking Puyang,
Xia Pi City is too guarded in the house.
Liu Bei was carefully reading the secret letter sent by Chen Gong, Guan Yu squinted and waited quietly on the side, while Zhang Fei was pacing back and forth, impatient.
"Big brother, then Lu Bu is not a good person!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly at Lu Bu's envoy, and his fierce appearance frightened the envoy to retreat again and again, Zhang Fei continued: "Let that Guan Yan fight with him!" Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair! β
Liu Beiyi frowned, and looked at Zhang Fei with a little dissatisfaction: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" β
Zhang Fei was reprimanded, so he could only walk to Guan Yu's side with a face full of anger and no longer speak.
Liu Bei looked at the envoy with a pleasant face: "Please come to the embassy for a while, this matter is very important, let me think about it carefully!" β
When Lu Bu's envoy heard this, he hurriedly saluted: "More Lord Liu, it's just that the military situation is extremely urgent, and I hope to make a decision as soon as possible!" After that, Lu Bu's envoy secretly glanced at Zhang Fei, and then hurriedly retreated, and Liu Bei's attendants outside the hall took the envoy to the pavilion.
In the hall, only Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and a scribe remained. Although Mi Zhu is not a driver in Xuzhou, Liu Bei feels that the Mi Zhu tree has deep roots and can only be appeased, but it cannot be used, so in some major matters, Liu Bei never calls Mi Zhu to discuss.
Liu Bei looked at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on the scribe.
"Xianhe, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Xianhe is a scribe, and this person is the only strategist under Liu Bei's account - Jian Yong.
Jian Yong had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he heard Liu Bei's question, he immediately replied: "Lu Bu is brave, and Guan Yan and Cao Cao are very afraid. If Lu Bu is extinguished, Guan Yan can hand and Xiao Pei, Cao Cao can also worry about the eastward crusade, the main public Xuzhou is still shallow, and this barrier must not be lost! β
"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded: "Xianhe's words are very much in line with my wishes!" β
"Then fight, the eldest brother will give me 5,000 men, and I will go to capture Xiaopei tonight!" Zhang Fei had long been tired of Xiao Pei's Ma Teng, if Liu Bei hadn't allowed it, Zhang Fei would have led his troops to kill him. Now that I have this opportunity, of course, I have to take the initiative to ask for it.
"No!" Guan Yu, who had never made a sound, spoke: "It is difficult to quench your thirst in the far water!" Always capture Xiao Pei, it is difficult to prevent Lu Bu from being destroyed, and at that time, Xiao Pei, who will be won by our lost soldiers, will change hands again, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep Xiapi! β
"Hit and don't fight, hide and don't hide, what should I do?" Zhang Fei spread his hands and looked at Guan Yu, Guan Yu could only analyze the pros and cons, but he couldn't think of any good way.
This is, Jian Yong smiled: "Only the plan to save Zhao by encircling Wei can solve this situation!" β
Jian Yong had a plan, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Jian Yong, and handed it to Jian Yong in person: "Xian He elaborates!" β
"Thank you, lord!" Jian Yong respectfully took the teacup and said carefully: "Today, Puyang is in danger, and we can't reach the whip commander, in Yong's opinion, the lord can send two thousand elite soldiers, disguised as light horses, to attack Luoyang; Then immediately send someone to Bohai and ask Yuan Tan to send the dead to gather Yuan Kui's old troops as an internal response, and coerce Guan Yan's family to force Guan Yan to withdraw his troops. β
"Two thousand elite soldiers...... Liu Bei hesitated a little, at present, he is short of soldiers and food, and these two thousand men and horses go to storm such a big city as Luoyang, undoubtedly hitting stones with eggs and dying in vain!
Jian Yong naturally guessed Liu Bei's thoughts, and said: "Lord, two thousand elite soldiers, only a feint attack, to attract the ears of Luoyang's soldiers, the key point here is at Yuan Tan's place!" β
As soon as Jian Yong mentioned the point, Liu Bei understood, and then whispered: "This plan is very good, you go to do it yourself, but it's just a matter of silence, after all, it is not a glorious thing to capture **'er, his Yuan family has a precedent, we will cover up!" β
"Whoa!" Jian Yong took the order and acted according to his words.
Bohai is close to Puyang Road, Yuan Tan naturally received Lu Bu's letter for help one step earlier, but at this time Yuan Shao was still dead, Yuan Tan was newly established, and the people's hearts were not stable. A few days later, Liu Bei sent someone to see him, Liu Bei's suggestion was quite in line with Yuan Tan's temperament, and if it failed, it would only be a few dozen dead soldiers to lose.
Since Yuan Shao's death, Tian Feng has been quite self-blaming, and often feels that he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a courtier, so after Yuan Tan took the throne, he worked hard to assist Yuan Tan. The matter of the sneak attack on Luoyang is established, who leads the army, there are different opinions, Tian Fengjin said: "The cousin of the lord is a high cadre, talented and ambitious, showing off his civil and military affairs, and he is a relative of the Yuan family, so it is convenient to accommodate the old department of Taifu, this matter is none other than General Gao!" β
As soon as Tian Feng's words came out, Yuan Tan thought so, and immediately selected fifty dead soldiers to follow Gao Gan and rushed to Luoyang day and night.
