Chapter 113: Internal Contradictions

"Yun Chang, Yide, during this time in the army, I have worked hard for you!" Liu Bei saw that his two righteous brothers were coming, and immediately asked people to prepare two positions.

"Hey, hard work is indeed hard work, but isn't it all hard work for your own people!" Zhang Fei sat in his position with wide hands and feet.

"Lu Bu's Bingzhou army is not honest, and the restraint on his subordinates is not strict, they always can't change that nomadic temperament, they like to toss blindly, so that everyone over there is afraid when they see the Bingzhou army!" Guan Yu looked at everyone present, all of whom were Liu Bei's old and new aides.

"Is there too little food for him?" Liu Bei turned his head to look at Liu Deran and said.

"A lot, with the number of their five thousand soldiers and horses, they will be allocated to him, about five can be used at a time, and it will take about three times for the escort of the grain team, and the time is still very free!" Liu Deran took a sip of tea and snapped his fingers.

"Give food, it should be given like this, hehe, to tell the truth, the way the state Mu Taoqian sent food to Tian Kai, that is the same, I was the captain of Xuzhou's agricultural school, Xuzhou's grain and grass are in my charge, for the general grain and grass, I have always had my own opinion, like those non-descendant troops, or some distrustful troops, to give food can not be given too much at one time, just like an eagle, you are too full, he flew away, do not listen to your call, then if you feed him half a full, you can catch him in your hands, It's easy to control yourself! When Chen Deng brought up his eagle theory, his eyes revealed a sharp gaze like an eagle all the time, and people couldn't help but shudder, Liu Bei thought to himself, Chen Deng is indeed old and spicy enough.

"But, my lord, when I first distributed the grain, it was purely for Tian Kai, not for you!"

"Hahaha......" As soon as Chen Deng's words came out, everyone present laughed, especially Zhang Fei, not only laughed, but even reached the point of patting the desk next to him with his hand.

"I won't hide it from you, as soon as Tian Kai received the food you gave, he immediately scolded you in the camp tent, and his face trembled, I still remember it!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Tian Kai, that old killer, that day I went with Yun Chang to clean up the corpse outside Xuzhou City, when I went back, Tian Kai lost his temper at us, hey, that temper is bigger, than the temper of the prime minister, I Zhang Fei really wanted to stab him to death with my snake spear, but the snake spear was not there at that time, otherwise, where would he still be alive now!" Zhang Fei patted his back on the railing on the seat and said.

"Yide's temper is still so big, I can see it, he will rush people whenever he sees people!" Jian Yong pointed at Zhang Fei.

"Hehe, okay, everyone's jokes are jokes, let's get down to business, I brought everyone here today, I want everyone to discuss together, the matter of foreign conquest!" After Liu Bei laughed, he came out with the purpose of today.

"Dare to ask the lord, which one do you want to target?" Chen Deng asked.

"My preliminary target is Yuan Shu!" Liu Bei said calmly.

"I think it's okay, now we are in a relatively stable situation around us, there is Qingzhou Thorn Shi Kong Rong on the back, Cao Cao in Yanzhou in the west, and Sun Ce in the south Although the initial Jiangdong was determined, the political situation is unstable, and we dare not go north, and Yuan Shu in the southwest is our best target for attack!" Sun Qian agreed.

Chen Deng frowned, smashed his mouth, and said, "Lord, I think we should not attack Yuan Shu!" ”

"Don't attack, why, I haven't fought for so long, my hands are itchy!"

"Yide, let Mr. Yuanlong finish speaking!" Liu Bei said.

"Uh...... That's the case, my lord, Sun Gan was right just now, and now the situation around Xuzhou is still in a relatively stable state, but have you forgotten what happened to Cao Cao? ”

"You're someone who's going to hold us back from behind!"

"Yes, lord, once you send troops to attack Yuan Shu, I am afraid that Cao Bao in Xuzhou will rise up and make trouble!" Chen Dengdao.

"What do you think?" Liu Bei looked at Jian Yongdao.

"As far as we see now, the Danyang generals don't seem to be very restless, I think that if they set up restraining forces in the city and appease them, Cao Bao and they should not mess around!" Jian Yongdao.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, see if you can take Cao Bao and the others out to fight, so that they won't mess around!" Liu Deran said.

"This is not appropriate, Tao Qian's troop management system is a general-led soldier system, and the Danyang Soldier Group is a general, it is difficult for outsiders to replace it, if its generals are moved, it will inevitably cause a rebellion among the soldiers, so it is difficult to take Cao Bao and them out alone!" Mi Zhu explained.

"Lord, it's better to be like this, before we set out on the expedition, why don't we kill Cao Bao and them!" As soon as Chen Deng's words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"By all means, you killed Cao Bao and the others, as soon as those Danyang soldiers saw Cao Bao and others killed, they would immediately think that we were going to do something to the Danyang soldiers, it would be strange if they didn't mutiny at that time, how could they obediently wait for us to take them in, our original troops were already small, so now is not the time to provoke the Danyang soldiers!" Chen Deng's proposal, Guan Yu was the first to come out to oppose it, in Liu Bei's group, Guan Yu's qualifications are very old, and his reputation in the army is second only to Liu Bei, so once he comes up with his own ideas, others will generally not refute him.

"The clouds are so good, Cao Bao and the others can't move!" Liu Deran said.

"Indeed, now is not the time to kill Cao Bao!" Jian Yong and Sun Qian both said.

"This ...... I don't have an idea! Zhang Fei just wanted to speak, but paused for a moment, and then withdrew the words back into his stomach.

But Zhang Fei's idea has already been seen through by Chen Deng, and he knows that Zhang Fei supports him.

Mi Zhu didn't speak, maybe he was afraid that Chen Deng was his old colleague, so it was difficult to refute his face, but this also made it clear that Mi Zhu did not support Chen Deng's opinion.

Chen Deng is ruthless, plus he has deep contradictions about Cao Bao and others, so it is normal to put forward this idea, but Liu Bei does not want to be like this, for a supreme person, the bottom party is too strong, it is not a good thing for himself, Chen Deng represents the famous family in Xuzhou, the local surname, and Cao Bao represents the military power, and now the famous families in Xuzhou have monopolized most of the administrative power, Liu Bei does not want them to get involved in the army of Xuzhou again.

Liu Bei also knows that no matter whether Tao Qian's suicide note is Tao Qian's own meaning, or Chen Deng's meaning, but in the final analysis, choosing yourself is the plan that can make Xuzhou go further, if you directly choose Chen Deng and others, with the bad relationship between Chen Deng and Danyang soldiers, Cao Bao and these Danyang soldiers will definitely find an opportunity to launch a coup d'état, such internal strife will only give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of Xuzhou; And if you choose Cao Bao and others, it is not a good thing, the surname of Xuzhou is not cooperative, and Cao Bao and other Rao's policy program has never been well implemented, therefore, Liu Bei decided that they chose themselves, it was completely out of consideration of the situation, not a real dead heart, once Cao Bao and others perished, the day of their own demise is not far away.

"Since everyone doesn't agree to do something to Cao Bao, then listen to everyone, in my opinion, now is not the time for us to engage in infighting, but to strive for how to unite, unite as one, and unite as one, so that Xuzhou can develop better!"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates are ashamed!" Chen Dengdao.

"Yuanlong, don't be like this, we're in a meeting now, the principle of the meeting I have always insisted on talking more at the meeting, and less after the meeting, knowing everything, saying everything, since it is a meeting, everyone puts forward all suggestions, there is nothing to feel guilty about!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Do you have any objections to the conquest of Yuan Shu?" Liu Bei looked around at everyone.

"I agree! Me too, I am ...... too" Liu Deran, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others agreed, but Chen Deng was silent.

"Yuanlong, if you want to go on an expedition, the city will naturally have a restraining force, and when the time comes, I want to trouble you to monitor Cao Bao and others in the city on my behalf, I don't know if you are willing!" Liu Bei asked.

"Oh, my subordinates are willing, it's just that I'm a civilian official, and I want to restrain the military attaché, but I still have more than enough heart and strength, see if you can send me a helper!"

"You although, everyone present chooses for yourself, whoever you choose, I will let him stay with you!" Liu Bei waved his hand at this time.

"Since the lord agrees, let General Yide stay!"

"Ah, why me, both Deran and Yun Chang are fine, why did you choose me, I'm going to fight, I'm not here!" Zhang Fei said reluctantly.

Chen Deng didn't say anything when he heard this, but lowered his head.

Unexpectedly, Chen Deng chose Zhang Fei, who had an extremely bad relationship with Cao Bao, what the hell was he doing, Liu Bei frowned and looked at Chen Deng, who was looking down at the ground at this time, waiting for his reply, and there was always a bad blessing in his heart

And in the discussion just now, only Zhang Fei did not make it clear that he would not kill Cao Bao, and Chen Deng would not have taken a fancy to Yide's point.

It's just that I blamed myself for talking too much just now, and now it's too late to regret it.

"Since Mr. Yuanlong chose Yide, then Yide, you can stay and help Mr. Yuanlong spy on Cao Bao!"

"This ...... Big brother, big brother, you can't be so ruthless, big brother, I haven't fought Zhang Fei for a long time, big brother! Zhang Fei said in an almost pleading tone.

"Yide, if you monitor the city well, I will give you the first credit for this war, how about it?"

"This ...... Since the eldest brother is like this, then what else do I Zhang Fei have to refuse, haha...... Big brother, I Zhang Fei actually just want to make meritorious contributions, in this war era, if you don't go to the battlefield and don't kill the enemy, how can you make meritorious service, since you have entrusted me with such an important task, then I will obey the order! Zhang Fei held his stomach and grinned.

"Do you have any questions for today's meeting?" Liu Bei looked around and saw that everyone had no problem, so he said, "Yun Chang, Deran, you will go and prepare for the deployment of the army later!" ”

"Yes, General!"

"Mr. Yuanlong, Xuzhou will entrust you!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Mr. Zizhong, as well as Gongyou, Xianhe, you can go with me!"

"Yes, sir!"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, looked out the door, and said, "The meeting is over, everyone will go and prepare!" ”
