Chen Jue was born in a famous family of scholars, and he has known Yuan Shu since he was a child, because they are all from famous families, and the location in the field is very close, when Yuan Shu led his troops to fight with He Jin, Chen Jue was very helpful to him. But when Yuan Highway brazenly proclaimed himself emperor, Chen Qi immediately drew a line with it, and wrote a letter to reprimand: "Hande is not mourned, how dare he replace him?" ”

Later, as Chen Jue expected, Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor aroused the hatred of all the people, and he was soon defeated and died. After Liu Bei replaced Tao Qian as the lord of Xuzhou, the above table recommended Chen Qi as the Taishou of Guangling, and the court of Chang'an agreed to Liu Bei's recommendation, and appointed Chen Qi's eldest son Chen Deng as the commander of Guangling County.

It can be said that the current Guangling County is already the territory of the Chen family. However, Chen Qi's father and son did not become arrogant because of this, but were more respectful to Liu Bei. When Liu Bei led his army to fight against Cao Cao, Guangling County provided a lot of grain, grass, soldiers and horses.

Now that Xiapi was surrounded, after Chen Qi and Chen Deng discussed, they sent another 4,000 soldiers and horses out, led by Chen Deng, and went to cooperate with Liu Bei to fight. Liu Bei was appointed by the imperial court as the pastor of Xuzhou, but Cao Cao was a eunuch, as long as the situation did not reach the time of complete despair, the heroes and scholars of Xuzhou would not stand on Cao Cao's side.

And the one that Cao Cao implemented in Yanzhou was really annoying to the heroes in Xuzhou. Cao Cao's ruthless man, after turning soldiers into slaves and occupying a lot of land and people in the way of tuntian, began to use knives on the bodies of Haoqiang and scholars. Yanzhou is already three feet high, and the heroes of Xuzhou said that we can manage ourselves well, and we don't need the Yanzhou people next door to point fingers.

When Chen Deng arrived in Ling County with 4,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei had another 20,000 troops in his hands. Xuzhou has always been rich, so the armor and weapons of the soldiers are very good, but the degree of bravery is not enough at all. Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought for more than a month, and they were able to hold on, mainly due to the credit of Gao Shunbu and Danyang Bing.

Tao Qian is a native of Danyang, and after becoming the assassin of Xuzhou, he recruited 3,000 elite soldiers from his hometown. He relied on these 3,000 Danyang elites, and cooperated with the soldiers and horses in the state to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou. After Tao Qian's death, these Danyang soldiers fell into Liu Bei's hands.

When Liu Bei passed by Danyang before, he also recruited a thousand soldiers and horses there. So he had seven thousand elites in his hands. With 7,000 elites and 30,000 local soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's strength swelled more than ten times at once. Even on the battlefield in Hebei, an army of nearly 40,000 people is a decisive armed force.

When Liu Bei was in Hebei, he had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses at most. Compared with being under Gongsun Zhan, it is no longer the same. But even with so many troops, he was still defeated by Cao Cao.

Hearing that Chen Deng brought 4,000 soldiers and horses to support, Liu Bei was very moved and personally went out of the city to greet him. He held Chen Deng's hands and said with emotion: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers." Of course I'm glad that there are more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, but if Yuanlong can come, that's what is even more gratifying! ”

Chen Deng said: "The Cao army was brutal and slaughtered the city at every turn, and the people of Xuzhou all gritted their teeth. Hearing that General Guan was trapped in Xiapi, he hurried with the soldiers and horses in the county. Dare to ask Ming Gong, how is the battle ahead? ”

Liu Bei pulled Chen Deng into the big tent, and after both sides sat down, he said: "Cao Cao has led his troops to surround Xiapi, but there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which is enough to resist Cao's army." ”

Chen Deng said: "Winter is coming soon, if Cao Cao can't break Xiapi in a short time, he can only retreat." But even if Cao Jun retires this year, he will definitely come back next year. ”

Liu Bei said: "I also know about this matter, but there is no good way, Yuanlong has a good plan?" ”

Chen Deng said: "Taishan Army Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Chang Xi, etc., there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers under their command, who used to be attached to Tao Envoy, and now why doesn't Ming Gong make people recruit their peers?" If the Taishan army can attack Cao Cao's flank, the danger of Xuzhou will naturally be solved. ”

Liu Bei said: "I also sent people to lobby Zang Ba and others, but they were afraid of Cao Cao's strong army and did not dare to be an enemy of him, and now they are just waiting and seeing." ”

Chen Deng said: "I see. ”

When he couldn't make a plan, he had another plan and said: "The imperial court has now been moved to Chang'an, I heard that the general Chen Cheng and the Ming Duke are good, and he has also ordered Cao Cao to withdraw his troops before, why didn't the Ming Duke write to the court and let the general send a large army to crusade against Cao Cao?" The Xiliang cavalry is brave and good at fighting, if it can go east out of the tiger prison and enter Xuchang, Cao Cao will not dare to leave the army in Xiapi! ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "When I came to Xuzhou, the imperial court had already appointed Zhao Yun as the pastor of the state. The general's mind is now on capturing and annexing the state, where is the spare strength to send troops to deal with Cao Cao? Besides, Henan has ten rooms and nine emptiness, even if the general can still send troops and horses, how can he supply along the way? ”

Chen Deng shook his head and said: "The Huns in Bingzhou are just ringworm scabies, and Cao Cao is the great enemy of the world, how can the imperial court put the cart before the horse?" ”

From Chen Deng's standpoint, the Huns who were far away in Bingzhou were of course nothing, and Cao Cao, who had hit Xiapi, was a big problem. But for Chen Cheng, of course, it is to clean up the weak enemies around him first. When Liu Bei led his troops east, Chen Cheng told him that within a year or two, the imperial court would not be able to use troops against Kwantung on a large scale, and everything could only be relied on himself.

Liu Bei's mind came up with the scene of that day, and then said to Chen Deng: "The general has the difficulties of the general, let's figure it out by ourselves!" In this way, I will write to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, asking them to send troops to rescue! ”

When the whole world was fighting, Chen Cheng was not idle. Before he married Liu Qian, the princess of Wannian, he had appointed Zhao Yun as the pastor of the state, and ordered him to take more than 10,000 soldiers through the territory of Yang Feng, the Taishou of Hedong, to attack the Huns entrenched near Taiyuan.

Although Xu Rong is good at fighting, he only has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but he has to guard Wuyuan, Shangjun, Yanmen and other places. Although the Huns in those places have been beaten down, there are still Xianbei people in the vast grasslands of Mobei. If all the soldiers and horses on the border are withdrawn, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold the land of the Hetao.

Therefore, Chen Cheng sent Zhao Yun over to completely eliminate the Huns. Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan brothers have been jumping for too long, so they still count the ball as soon as possible. In this way, you can also knock the Baibo army in the east of the river and the Montenegrin army on both sides of the Taihang Mountain. Let them know that although the imperial court has moved to Chang'an, it is not something they can despise.

In fact, Chen Cheng has a good impression of Zhang Yan and thinks that it is a very rare thing for him to be able to gather millions of people in troubled times. Although the Montenegrin army is constantly invading the surrounding counties, I don't know how many people have survived because of Zhang Yan. Similarly, Chen Cheng also admired Zhang Lu, who was entrenched in Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu's personal conduct was somewhat tainted, because he attacked and killed his colleague Zhang Xiu. However, since he captured Hanzhong and Dongchuan, the people under his rule have been much better than under the rule of the imperial court.

However, good feelings are good feelings, in Chen Cheng's eyes, whether it is Zhang Yan or Zhang Lu, they are all princes of one side, and they are all objects to be cleaned up, just to see when to do it. On the contrary, his sense of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was much worse. It is understandable to kill people in troubled times, but slaughtering cities at every turn like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao has broken through Chen Cheng's bottom line.

When Yuan Shao fought with Zhang Yanjun, the killing was extremely heavy. After breaking through the barriers of Zhang Yan's troops, they often slaughtered the men, women, and children inside. And Cao Cao was even more powerful in killing people than Yuan Shao, and in the process of seizing Yanzhou, he was already slaughtering the city at every turn. It was the same when attacking Xuzhou, killing people and bleeding like rivers.

In contrast, Chen Cheng's treatment of Haoqiang in Liangzhou and Guanzhong can be regarded as benevolent.

In the eyes of the ministers of the imperial court, Zhang Lu and Zhang Yan are more hateful existences than Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu were born in a family of eunuchs, and the secession party was just a little undeferential. What are Zhang Lu and Zhang Yan again? Isn't it ridiculous that they are just some mud legs, and they dare to learn from others to dominate one side?

The so-called "punishment is not a doctor, and the courtesy is not inferior to the common people", a doctor is a doctor, and a mud leg is a mud leg, which is destined by God, how can it be easily changed?

Liu Bian, the Son of Heaven, thought deeply of this and exclaimed: "What Wang Situ said is very true! ”

The books that Princess Wannian brought him were as big as a fight, and it was more interesting to talk to Wang Situ, Shisun Duan and other old ministers. These ministers are all pillars of the imperial court, all of them are talented, they speak well, and their mouths are full of the words of saints, which are more than a hundred times more interesting than brushing questions.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was moved, Wang Yun took the opportunity to say: "The general controls the government and rejects loyalty, if you wait for his full wings, the minister is afraid that there will be something unbearable!" ”

Liu Yan's face changed greatly, and he couldn't believe it: "Chen Cheng is very domineering now, what else can he not bear to say?" ”

Shisun Duan said on the side: "Your Majesty, has you forgotten the story of the general Liang Ji?" ”

Liang Ji was a general during the four emperors of Emperor Shun of Han, Emperor Chong of Han, Emperor Zhen of Han and Emperor Huan of Han, and controlled the government for 20 years. The most famous deed is that he once fed the little emperor bread. When the Son of Heaven Liu Yan heard Shi Sun Duan talk about Liang Ji's matter, he couldn't help but gasp.

He said in horror: "Does Chen Cheng still dare to kill the king?" He just got married to Princess Wannian, and he's my brother-in-law! ”

Wang Yundao: "The general set up three provinces and six ministries and seized the authority of the imperial court. Now the affairs of the government and the opposition are all controlled by him alone. If he is truly a loyal servant, how can he do so? Now there is no difficulty, just because there are Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Xian and others who have strong soldiers outside, and there are loyal ministers inside.

Now that Zhao Yun has sent troops to merge with the state, His Majesty has also seen the Western Liangya soldiers, and Zhao Yun is a famous general, and it is a matter of time before the Huns are pacified. When the state is pacified, the power of the general will be unshakable! At that time, even if Your Majesty wants to continue to sit in the palace and be at the mercy of you, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it! ”
