After Chen Deng was busy with the affairs of the county, he immediately summoned the clansmen who came to Yuzhang County with him, although the Guangling Chen clan has many deep roots, but Chen Deng also knew that their Guangling Chen clan was eye-catching enough, in order to keep a low profile so as not to give the truth, Chen Deng did not dare to bring a large number of Chen children to Yuzhang County, only brought his uncle Chen Yu and his second brother Chen Ying to Yuzhang County.

Chen Yu had not yet come out of office at this time, but only served as a staff guard under Chen Deng's account, and commanded the thirty soldiers who followed Chen Qi to Yuzhang County, Chen Ying served as a military commander among the county soldiers, and there were 400 county soldiers under him.

The county lieutenant of Yuzhang County is Yuan Yao's cronie Yuan Zhi, Chen Deng knows that Yuan Zhi is Yuan Yao's confidant and confidant, and he is very polite to Yuan Zhi, plus Chen Ying does have some skills, and Chen Ying has also dealt with Yuan Yao once before in Guangling County, which can be regarded as Yuan Yao's old acquaintance, so Yuan Zhi is also more trustworthy to Chen Ying.

After Chen Yu and Chen Ying arrived, Chen Dengxian told the two of them about some of Yuan Yao's deployments and Yuan Yao's order for him to lead Yue Yun's 20,000 soldiers and horses and some of the soldiers of Yuzhang County to attack the three counties of Jingnan.

After listening to Chen Deng's words, Chen Ying was immediately overjoyed and said, "What? The lord actually ordered the eldest brother to lead the army to attack the three counties of Jingnan? Is this true? According to what the eldest brother said, all the deployment of the lord's troops is to hide people's eyes and ears, in order to open a gap in the land of the three counties of Jingnan, the three counties of Jingnan are extremely empty at this time, with 20,000 elite soldiers in hand, if you want to capture the three counties of Jingnan, it is just a matter of turning over your hands! The lord actually sent such a great achievement to the hands of the eldest brother, it is really a blessing for my Chen family! ”

Chen Deng smiled and nodded in response: "Second brother didn't hear it wrong, the lord really wants me to preside over this battle, and this battle is the first step in the rise of my Guangling Chen clan!" ”

Compared with the young Chen Ying, Chen Yu is much calmer, but he can't help but have some joy between his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yue Hou's people are either guarding against Xuzhou in the north, or guarding against Shanyue in the south, or staying in Anhui County to protect the foundation, and if others come to Yuzhang County, I am afraid it will also arouse the suspicion of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and at this time, Yue Hou is the only person who can use the talent in Yuzhang County, Yuanlong!" Although Yue Yun is brave and good at fighting, he is young after all, and if he wants to conquer the city, he still needs a talented person to pacify the place, and this person can only be taken by Yuan Long! ”

"But such a good thing, being able to fall into the hands of Yuan Long is also more grace! Yue Hou said that he would give me the opportunity for the Chen family to rise in Yuzhang County, and he did what he said, and he really believed in people! It is also an honor for my Guangling Chen clan to be able to serve under Yue Hou! ”

After listening to what the two said, Chen Deng was also glad that he had decisively served Yuan Yao and came to Yuzhang County to serve in Yuzhang County, and said with a smile: "My Guangling Chen clan is the only one in my Chen Deng in a high position, and this strength is really a little weak, this expedition to the three counties of Jingnan is a peerless opportunity for my uncle and second brother to seek credit under the command of the lord, I intend to let my uncle lead the family soldiers, and the second brother will lead a county soldier to follow me to conquer the three counties of Jingnan to obtain military achievements, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

The reason why Chen Yu and Chen Ying followed Chen Deng to Yuzhang County was because of today!

Chen Yu nodded in response: "What Yuan Long said is very true, I will send troops with you this time!" ”

Chen Ying also volunteered to follow Chen Deng to conquer the three counties of Jingnan, but his identity was the Sima of the county soldiers, and whether he could follow Chen Deng to send troops depended on Yuan Zhi's intentions, so he said with a little embarrassment: "I am naturally willing to follow my eldest brother to conquer the three counties of Jingnan, but where is the county lieutenant going to explain?" ”

Chen Deng laughed and said: "Second brother don't worry about this, the lord has a military order, this expedition to the three counties of Jingnan must be based on the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Yue Yun's department, the Yuzhang county soldiers are just auxiliary, the county lieutenant is difficult to participate in this battle, I lead a county soldier as a personal guard, it is already the limit of the county soldiers' ability to send troops!" ”

"Moreover, Yuan Zhi was born in the Yuan family, he is the henchman of the lord's henchmen, he is different from us, he does not need to make great merit and can occupy a high position only by virtue of qualifications, I have always been kind to him, and when the time comes, I will ask him to send your department to follow me to the three counties of Jingnan, he will not refuse!"

Chen Ying nodded and replied: "So it's annoying big brother!" ”

After Chen Deng arranged the Chen family's family affairs, he went to the county army camp to discuss the matter with Yuan Zhi, although Yuan Zhi regretted that he did not have the opportunity to go on the expedition, but he also knew that his ability was not a general, and it was already the limit of his ability to defend Yuan Yao at this time, and he was Yuan Yao's starting hero, and Yuan Yao would achieve great things in the future, and his high position would definitely be indispensable!

Chen Deng then said that he wanted Yuan Zhi to send Chen Ying's soldiers and horses as his own soldiers to follow him to the three counties of Jingnan, Yuan Zhi had a good impression of Chen Deng, and after listening to what Chen Deng said, he did not embarrass the matter, and ordered Chen Ying and his soldiers to pack some luggage and follow Chen Deng tomorrow!

Chen Deng and Yuan Zhi exchanged some information about staying in Yuzhang County, and after the two discussed, Chen Deng also returned to the mansion to start preparing for the dispatch of troops.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Deng took Chen Yu and 30 soldiers and Chen Ying and his 400 county soldiers to the Yueyun army station, at this time Yueyun's troops and horses have also risen from the camp, the army is resting after burying the pot and cooking, seeing Chen Deng leading the troops to come, more than 20,000 troops immediately set up, from the outside of Nanchang all the way to the south straight to the direction of Ganxian County.

Ganxian County is almost the southernmost point of Yuzhang County, starting from Nanchang, all the way through Xingan, Shouyang, Pingdu, Luling counties, about 200 miles away from Nanchang City, fortunately, there is a Ganshui connection between Nanchang City and Ganxian County, the army's grain and grass can be transported from the waterway, and the army only needs to travel in a light car from the starry night!

Chen Deng and Yue Yun led their soldiers and horses to rush through the starry night, but they arrived in Ganxian County in two days, at this time the 20,000 elites under Yue Yun's command were fine, and they could hardly see any tiredness, but the 400 county soldiers led by Chen Ying were a little difficult, but fortunately, there were military exploits of the three counties of Jingnan in front, which made them persevere.

After Yue Yun's troops and horses arrived in Gan County, they immediately blocked the road in and out of Gan County, in case the Jingzhou army received the news of their arrival and took precautions, and the two also sent many sentry spies dressed as ordinary people to go to the Hanning Pass area to investigate the situation of the Jingzhou army and the defense of the checkpoint, so as to be ready to send troops to seize the pass at any time!

Everything is ready for the conquest of the three counties of Jingnan, only the east wind is owed!
