Sun Ce saw that Sun Quan had brought out their deceased father, and knew that he couldn't continue to refuse Sun Quan, otherwise he would definitely hurt the relationship between the brothers, and said, "Okay! My brother is strong! As long as you and my brother can work together, why worry about my grandson's great cause! Since you have this heart, then this trip to Guangling will be led by you! However, Guangling Chen Deng is insidious and cunning, you must not underestimate this person, I will allocate 20,000 soldiers and horses to you, I don't know who you want to use as a general? ”

Sun Quan pondered for a moment and said: "Chen Wu and Xu Sheng are brave and good at fighting, and the younger brother asks the lord to send the two of them to our army to help me, and I will capture Guangling and kill Chen Deng under the lord!" ”

"Chen Wu is brave, Xu Sheng is cautious, with the help of the two of them, it shouldn't be difficult to capture Guangling!" Sun Ce nodded slightly, and then ordered: "In this case, you will be the commander, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng will be your lieutenants, and you will lead 20,000 troops to attack Guangling County!" In the past few days, you will reorganize your army and fight, and when Chen Deng transfers away the defenders of Guangling City, you will lead your troops out of Dantu to attack Guangling! ”

Sun Quan, Chen Wu, and Xu Sheng bowed down and responded: "No, we will receive the order!" ”

Sun Ce nodded and let the three of them retreat, and then said: "The rest of the people will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to follow me to guard against Yuan Yao's army, Gong Jin, you will set off today and rush to Wuhu immediately, after arriving in Wuhu, you can expose your traces, which can not only distract the attention of the princes of all parties, but also make Yuan Yao dare not act rashly!" Now taking Guangling County is my first priority in Jiangdong, if you can not make extraneous branches, it is the best! ”

The generals of Jiangdong bowed one after another: "Nuo, we will receive the order!" ”

……

Yuan Yao is now under the city of Tangyi, at this time it has been a while since Yuan Yao captured the four counties of Huailing, Guangling County has already reacted, Chen Deng has already mobilized a lot of troops and horses from the cities of Guangling to station in Dongyang and Tangyi counties to guard against Yuan Yao.

At this time, there were already 3,000 garrisons stationed in Tangyi City, and the guard was Chen Ying, a disciple of the Chen family in Guangling, Chen Ying was Chen Deng's younger brother, who was born in a scholar clan and knew how to use the army and was quite useful.

After Yuan Yao led his army to Tangyi, he saw that the defenders of the city were neat and tight, so he did not immediately attack the city but retreated ten miles, found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and set up a large camp.

After Yuan Yao's army set up camp, Yuan Yao summoned all the generals to come to the commander's tent to discuss the matter, and said: "Tangyi City is heavily guarded, and if our army storms the city, it will inevitably lose its troops; Our army attacked Guangling County this time, and only needed to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Guangling County for Sun Ce and create fighters for him; Until the last resort, I really don't want to lose the soldiers for Jiangdong to take the fire, but if I can't mobilize the Guangling soldiers and horses, it is also our army that has broken the contract, and Sun Ce will definitely raise troops to attack the three counties of my Lujiang when the time comes! Now that the situation is like this, I wonder if you have a good plan to share my worries? ”

As soon as Yuan Yao's words fell, he saw Pang Tong and Lu Su standing up at the same time.

For a long time, Yuan Yao only had Pang Tong, a strategist, with the army, and Yuan Yao discussed military matters, and most of them discussed with Pang Tong, which also made Pang Tong develop the habit of giving up who else, and now Lu Su joined Yuan Yao, although it was the position of the boss, but Yuan Yao also gave him the power to staff the army, Lu Su had just joined Yuan Yao, of course, he also wanted to quickly show a good reputation to establish prestige, so the two of them stood up directly at the same time.

Pang Tong is also a person with a lot of thoughts, he instantly understood Lu Su's intentions, smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation to Lu Su, and then sat down himself.

Seeing this, Lu Su hurriedly thanked Pang Tong slightly, then turned to Yuan Yao and bowed: "Lord, my army only needs to mobilize Guangling soldiers and horses to create fighters for Jiangdong, and there is no need to storm the city." According to the scout's report, Chen Deng stationed most of the defenders of each city in Dongyang Tangyi City, and his hinterland must be empty. The lord can lead the main force of the army to besiege Tangyi, and then order a general to lead an iron cavalry to invade its hinterland, and then Chen Deng will definitely divide his troops to meet the battle, and the lord's goal can be achieved! ”

Avoiding the real is virtual, this strategy is the same as what Yuan Yao thinks!

Yuan Yao nodded and smiled, turned to look at Pang Tong, and said, "Shiyuan, what do you think of this strategy?" ”

Pang Tong replied: "Back to the lord, Zijing's strategy is to avoid the truth and attack it if he is not prepared, but the minister still has one thing to supplement it!" ”

"Oh? Shi Yuan, please speak. ”

When Lu Su heard this, he also turned to look at Pang Tong, waiting for his high opinion.

Pang Tong stroked his beard and said: "Although Zijing's strategy can reduce the loss of our generals, it does not have much benefit for the lord, and my army has come from thousands of miles, so naturally we can't return empty-handed!" Although the lord had an agreement with Jiangdong not to seize the land and city of Guangling County, he did not say that he could not plunder the population and money and grain of Guangling County! When the lord sent iron cavalry to attack the hinterland of Guangling County, he could take the opportunity to break through the city with empty troops, plunder its treasury, money, grain, and population and people, so as to enrich the strength of our three armies! ”

"Shiyuan's words are really the old opinion, bow down!" Without waiting for Yuan Yao to speak, he saw Lu Su get up and bow to Pang Tong, and said: "The lord does this, not only can he plunder the money, grain, and population to enrich the territory, but also artificially create an empty area, which can be used as a buffer place for our army and Jiangdong, which is really a high opinion!" ”

Yuan Yao listened to the words of the two of them, and smiled secretly in his heart, creating a buffer place, this doesn't matter, now that Sun Ce has been transferred to the Dantu area by himself, according to the trajectory of history, maybe he will die next year! If Sun Ce is assassinated, then the land of Jiangdong will be leaderless, and at that time, he can crusade against the land of Jiangdong in the name of Yangzhou Mu, and this buffer land will be useless!

However, in case history changes and Sun Ce is not assassinated, then this buffer land is very necessary, and it is always good to leave an extra way to retreat now, and the most important thing is that if he sends troops to plunder the population and money and food of Guangling County, then he can prove from the side that he has no idea about the land of Guangling County, and it can also make Sun Ce more assured to use troops against Guangling County.

In this way, it can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop, and there are hundreds of benefits and no harm!

Yuan Yao nodded and replied: "What the two gentlemen said is very true, Yang Zaixing listened to the order, from tomorrow onwards, you will lead the iron cavalry of your headquarters to attack the hinterland of Guangling County, you only need to attack the weak city, break its city and then plunder its treasury, money, grain and population and return; Zijing, you have a lot of prestige in the land of Jianghuai, so you will be in charge of the relocation of the people with the army, try to persuade the people to cooperate with the migration, and do not make up murders! ”

Yang Zaixing and Lu Su bowed down and bowed: "Nuo, I'll take the order!" ”

Yuan Yao pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Yue Yun, and said, "Yue Yun, are you willing to lead the army to battle?" ”

Yue Yun had long wanted to lead an army to fight in all directions, but Yuan Yao had never given her this opportunity, but now when she heard that Yuan Yao actually remembered him, she was immediately overjoyed, and stepped forward to worship: "The last general has long wanted to fight on one side, I don't know where the lord plans to let me attack?" ”

Yuan Yao replied with a smile: "You immediately go to Dongyang County to replace Li Siye to continue to besiege the city, and then send an order to Li Siye, so that he can also lead an iron cavalry to attack the hinterland of Guangling County, loot money and grain and move the people to enrich the three counties!" After you arrive in Dongyang County, you only need to besiege the city, remember not to storm the city and lose your troops, otherwise you will not want to lead the army to fight in the future! ”

Yue Yun heard that Yuan Yao just asked him to go to Dongyang County to besiege the city, pursed his lips, and said, "Ah! Lord, is it just besieging the city, there are only 2,000 defenders in Dongyang County, if the lord gives an order, the final general will be set to break through the city for the lord! ”

Yuan Yao pointed at Yue Yun with a smile and said, "You, you, do you know that Guangling County is different from the rest of the place, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng is generous in Guangling County, and the military and civilian people of Guangling County are willing to serve him!" The city of Dongyang County is strong, and there are two thousand soldiers and horses in the city to defend it, if necessary, the city can also gather one or two thousand young people to help defend the city, my army rode lightly, did not carry too many siege equipment, have you ever thought about how many soldiers will be killed and wounded if the city is stormed? ”

"And our army has made an agreement with Jiangdong, and will not occupy an inch of land in Guangling County, even if it captures the city, it can only plunder its money and grain and move the people like elsewhere. You only need to besiege the city to Dongyang, you must not attack the city, if you don't want to, then I will let General Zhang go, you choose! ”

Yue Yun heard what Yuan Yao said so seriously, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Besieging the city will besiege the city, it can be regarded as a battlefield, it is better than doing nothing, the last general is willing to go to Dongyang County to replace General Li, and he will definitely obey the military orders of the lord!" ”

When Yue Yun said this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, but if General Yang and I are gone, who will be by your side to protect you?" ”

"Hahahaha, it's rare that you can still care about my safety!" Yuan Yao laughed a few times and said: "You can rest assured, you and General Yang are gone, and I still have the guards and General Mao by my side, and my safety will be fine, so you can go to Dongyang with confidence!" ”

Yue Yun glanced at Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, hesitated for a moment, and bowed: "In this case, the last general will take the order, and set off for Dongyang County here!" ”

Yuan Yao and Yue Yun each led 5,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Tangyi and Dongyang, while Yang Zaixing and Li Siye each led 5,000 iron cavalry into the hinterland of Guangling County.

In just a few days, Yuan Yaojun's iron cavalry has already attacked several cities, plundered a huge amount of money and grain in the city's treasury, and the people in these cities have also been relocated by Yuan Yaojun's iron cavalry, and they have been continuously sent to the four counties of Huailing, becoming Yuan Yao's people!

Yuan Yaojun's iron cavalry broke through several cities in Guangling County in just ten days, and plundered countless people with money and grain.

After Chen Deng got the news of the scout, he hurriedly found his uncle Chen Jiao to discuss the matter, at this time Guangling County was under the control of Guangling Chen, Chen Jiao had the courage and scheming, so he was appointed by Chen Deng as Guangling County Gongcao, Guangling County every time a major event happened, Chen Deng was looking for him to discuss the policy.

After Chen Jiao arrived, Chen Deng led Yuan Yao to lead a large army to attack, and his infantry besieged Dongyang Tangyi counties, and his iron cavalry raided the hinterland of Guangling County to plunder the money and grain of the people and told him again, Chen Jiao heard it, and was immediately shocked, and said: "Isn't Yuan Yao leading the army to confront Jiangdong Sun Ce in the Wuhu area?" How could he lead an army to attack the land of my Guangling County? ”

Chen Deng's personality is calm and resourceful, and he has already thought deeply about this matter during the time he was waiting for Chen Jiao's arrival, and said: "I guess that Yuan Yao should have used the strategy of leading the water to the east, wanting to attract Sun Ce's troops to my Guangling County and avoid the disaster of the three counties of Lujiang. Sun Ce has been coveting my Guangling County for a long time, and besides, he should not be ready for Yuan Yao's decisive battle, if Yuan Yao is his countermeasure, he will definitely transfer his troops to use troops against my Guangling County! ”

Chen Jiao pondered for a moment, and said: "Yuan Yao ordered his iron cavalry to rob the money and grain of my Guangling County, it seems that his intention should not be to conquer the city, if he does not reach an agreement with Sun Ce, he will not dare to use troops against my Guangling County, so it seems that your guess should be correct, Yuan Yao must have reached an agreement with Sun Ce, Yuan Yao will help Jiangdong to capture the land of my Guangling County, in order to solve the danger of his three counties of Lujiang!" ”

When Chen Deng heard Chen Jiao's words, he immediately confirmed his conjecture, gritted his teeth and shouted coldly: "Yuan Yao'er! Sun Ce is a child! How dare you despise me Guangling Chen and despise me Chen Yuanlong so much, it's really hateful and damned!! ”

Chen Jiao looked at the angry Chen Deng, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Don't worry, Deng'er, it's not that my Guangling County doesn't have a way to break the siege, but I still need to wait for the opportunity!" ”

When Chen Deng heard this, he asked suspiciously, "Oh? I wonder what my uncle's plan is? ”

Chen Jiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, and said, "Don't forget that we only wrote to Prime Minister Cao Cheng not long ago, and he will raise troops to attack Xuzhou in the near future, and maybe he will send troops now!" Liu Bei is not Prime Minister Cao Cheng's opponent, not to mention that most of the soldiers and horses under his command are now soldiers under Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Liu Bei will lose this battle, and I expect that it will be difficult for him to hold out for long! ”

"I, Guangling County, will wait for Cao Cheng to be a nail inserted in this Jianghuai land, as long as he leads the army to Xuzhou, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore my Guangling County! At this time, we should quickly go to Prime Minister Cao Cheng for help, as long as Prime Minister Cao Cheng sends reinforcements, the crisis of Guangling County will be solved immediately! ”

Jianghuai Yuan Yao and Jiangdong Sun Ce are coming violently, and in such a situation, there is no other way but to ask for help!

This person must be able to speak well, and must be able to show the sincerity of the Guangling Chen family, in addition, this person must also be loyal to the Guangling Chen family, and must go to ask for help as quickly as possible, if he lets others go, he is really a little uneasy. Chen Deng pondered for a moment, got up and bowed to Chen Jiao, and said: "If Prime Minister Cao's army arrives in Xuzhou, it will definitely attack Xiapi, and I also ask my uncle to go to the Xiapi area as soon as possible and ask the Prime Minister for reinforcements for me!" ”

Chen Jiao pondered for a moment, this matter is very important, if he doesn't get it right, the Guangling Chen clan will be in danger of being defeated, and it is best to run by himself!

Chen Jiao nodded and responded: "That's fine, I will personally go down to Pi and invite reinforcements for the head of the family!" But now that Yuan Yao is on the offensive urgently, it will take some time for me to go for help, I don't know how you plan to deal with it? ”

Chen Deng replied confidently: "Uncle, rest assured, I have a good plan in my heart, and I will definitely be able to delay until my uncle invites reinforcements!" ”

"Although Yuan Yao and Sun Ce joined forces to attack me, they had their own ideas and could not work together, and even they all wanted to stab each other fiercely, this is an opportunity that my Guangling can take advantage of!"

"The reason why Yuan Yao used infantry armor to besiege the city and used iron cavalry to attack the hinterland of my Guangling County is to avoid the real and make a false appearance, not only to avoid the loss of troops, but also to plunder money and grain and the people to enrich their strength, this is Yuan Yao's resourcefulness!"

However, Yuan Yao only led 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, and he wanted to use 10,000 infantry armor to besiege the city, and he could only use 10,000 iron cavalry to loot money and grain to move the people; Moreover, the essence of my Guangling County is in the area of Guangling, Jiangdu, Gaoyou, and Sheyang, he will not dare to come deep alone to plunder these cities, in the final analysis, Yuan Yao is just a plague of ringworm, even if he is given some time, it will be difficult for him to shake the foundation of my Guangling County! ”

"The real enemy of my Guangling County is Sun Ce Sun Bofu, who is sharpening his sword at this time! Sun Ce wanted to beware of Yuan Yao's army copying his back road, so he would never dare to come out to attack my Guangling County, and the soldiers and horses he could send to my Guangling County must only have a partial division! ”

"Sun Ce is arrogant, and he has won a hundred battles all the way, and he must have regarded my Guangling County as his bag at this time. Now that Yuan Yao is plundering everywhere in my Guangling County, Sun Ce will definitely be anxious, as long as I send troops and horses from Guangling City to rescue all places, Sun Ce will definitely send a large army to attack my Guangling City! ”

"Jiangdong soldiers and horses are proud of the generals, its soldiers will be underestimated with me and eager to make contributions, as the saying goes, the proud soldiers will be defeated, this is my Guangling to break the enemy!"

When Chen Deng said this, he smiled proudly and said confidently: "Uncle, rest assured, Guangling City is too close to Jiangdong to be detrimental to our army, I will not fight to the death with Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Guangling City, as long as I defeat its army and frustrate its spirit, I will lead the army to slowly retreat to the area of Gaoyou Sheyang, waiting for my uncle's reinforcements!" ”。

Chen Jiao saw that Chen Deng had already made a complete calculation, stroked his beard, and said: "Hahahaha, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are invincible, and their power is incomparable!" It seems that after this battle, my Yuanlong will be famous all over the world! ”

Chen Deng also laughed a few times and replied: "Hahahaha, my uncle is falsely praised, and I would like to thank my uncle for his forgiveness and come up with a way out of the siege for me!" If my uncle goes early and returns early, I will definitely buy him enough time! ”
