As early as when Cao Cao and Lü Bu began to fight, Han Xuan received an edict from Xu Du, and Han Xuan summoned the generals to discuss: "Cao Cao ordered me to send troops to Guangling to help him attack Lü Bu's rear, what do you think?" ”

Du Xi said: "Although Guangling Taishou Chen Deng is Lu Bu's general, I think Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong are not loyal to Lu Bu. Now Cao's soldiers are attacking Xuzhou on a large scale, and they will definitely betray Lu to join Cao, Cao Cao asked the lord to send troops to Guangling, and he must have met Chen Deng. ”

Han Xuan couldn't help but nodded, Du Xian was quite accurate in seeing people, and he also read the history books and romances to know that Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son helped Cao Cao destroy Lu Bu.

Han Xuan stood up and said, "Guangling is the throat of my entry into the Central Plains. Cao Cao, it's easy to invite God to send God, I'm coming to Guangling, but I'm not going to leave. Hehehe~"

Du Xun admonished: "Why should the lord go in person, you can order General Huang Zhong or General Chen Wu to lead the troops." ”

Han Xuan originally wanted to witness this battle of the luxury lineup in person, but he was already the master of one party and didn't need to do it himself. Besides, Chen Wu is also a traverser, so you have to believe in his ability.

Han Xuan wrote a few letters, asking Cao Xing to ride a fast horse to change horses through the post stations along the way, and send them to Wu County in the starry night. After Huang Zhong received the letter, he got up in high spirits and said: "Gather the generals and order the generals, and according to the orders of the lord general, our army will go to Guangling to attack Lu Bu!" ”

Chen Wu hurriedly came and asked, "General Huang, can my eldest brother let me fight?" ”

Huang Zhong looked at Chen Wu, who was hurrying over, and responded: "Oh, the lord asked General Chen Wu to go with a certain person, and General Xu Rong led the Wujun Taishou on his behalf." ”

Chen Wu hammered his palm and said excitedly: "Great! I'm about to have a problem in Wu County, and this time I will definitely meet this flying general Lu Bu. ”

Huang Zhong coughed lightly and admonished: "General Chen Wu, the lord asked General Sun Ce to accompany us. Also, the lord told you not to underestimate the enemy, this time we are a guest army. As for how to be a guest, the lord lets you improvise! ”

Chen Wu put his index finger and thumb together and said, "OK, understand, hehehe." ”

Chen Wu laughed evilly, Huang Zhong gave Han Xuan's secret letter to Chen Wu, and after Chen Wu collected it, he and Huang Zhong led the army to Guangling. Han Xuan's army of 20,000 people crossed the river to Guangling, and Chen Deng personally greeted Chen Wu and them.

Chen Deng bowed to Chen Wu and said, "The two generals have come from afar, please take a break in the city." ”

Chen Wu looked at this Chen Deng and said with a smile: "There is Brother Lao Yuanlong, I have long heard my eldest brother say that Chen Yuanlong is a master, and today I saw that he was really a talent!" ”

Chen Deng was slightly surprised and said: "Han Yangzhou also knows me Chen Yuanlonghu!" ”

Chen Deng welcomed Huang Zhong and Chen Wu to the city, Chen Deng feasted the generals of Han Xuanjun, and Sun Ce was also present. Chen Wu saw that everyone had a dish on the table, with a small mountain carved of ice on the plate, covered with chopped sashimi, and a small bowl with ginger, green onions, garlic and other condiments on the side.

Chen Wuxin said, isn't this sashimi! He often heard Han Xuan say that sashimi was not invented by the Wa Kingdom, and Guangling Taishou often ate sashimi during the Three Kingdoms period in the late Han Dynasty.

It is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that Chen Deng suffered from a strange disease during his tenure as the Taishou of Guangling. The chest is very irritated, the face is red, and I can't swallow. Fortunately, a famous doctor Hua Tuo came to diagnose Chen Deng, and Hua Tuo exclaimed as soon as he diagnosed his pulse: "There are several liters of worms in the stomach of the prince, and he wants to become an internal gangrene, and he eats fishy things." ”

Hua Tuo prescribed him a prescription, that is, to make two liters of soup, drink one liter first, and then need to drink it all. After Chen Deng drank the medicinal soup, he spit out three liters of insects after a while, the red heads of the dense small insects were moving, and the back half of his body was raw fish tart, the medicine was bitter, and Chen Deng only healed when he tasted the bitterness in his stomach.

Hua Tuo later told Chen Dengdao: "This disease should occur in the third stage, and it can be rescued by a good doctor." ”

Later, Chen Deng's illness really started, Hua Tuo was not there at that time, and Chen Deng really died as Hua Tuo said. Based on this description, it is judged that Chen Deng may have "liver fluke" disease, also known as "clonorchis sinensis".

Parasites! Chen Wu looked at Chen Deng distressedly for three seconds, and then resolutely did not eat sashimi, only ate some other cooked food.

While everyone was feasting and drinking, Chen Deng's subordinates came in and said that Lu Bu was going to summon him. Chen Deng asked him to go down first, and after having a feast with everyone, he invited Chen Wu and Huang Zhong to a room for a secret talk.

Chen Deng bowed down and bowed: "Lu Bu's capricious people, who summoned me today, will blame me for letting your army into Guangling." Deng is not afraid of death, but his father is beside Lu Bu, and he is afraid of being poisoned. I beg you to help! ”

Huang Zhong hurriedly helped Chen Deng up and said, "Yuanlong doesn't need to be polite, but there is a place for the two of us, please speak up." ”

Chen Deng said: "Lu Bu is isolated and helpless, if he knows that Han Yangzhou and Cao Gong will attack him, his life will be lost." Ask the two generals to repair a letter, saying that Han Yangzhou came to help Lu Bu break Cao. ”

Chen Wu had no choice but to agree, and wrote a letter jointly with Huang Zhong, and also pressed his handprint. Chen Deng took the letter and thanked him.

Cao Cao's army marched to Jibei, Xiahou Yuan and others welcomed Cao Cao into the village, Xiahou was wounded by arrows, and many guns were stabbed in his body, and he was not cured. Cao Cao went to Xiahoudun to visit him, and Xiahoudun sat on the bed and said: "Lord, the last general is not good at fighting, please punish the lord!" ”

Cao Cao helped Xiahou Dun to lie down and said, "Yuan Rang fought hard, and his loyalty can be demonstrated. Lu Bu can be broken overnight, and Yuan Rang can go back to Xu Du to recuperate first. ”

Cao Cao sent someone to find out where Lü Bu was. Tanma reported back: "Lu Bu ordered Chen Gong and Zang Ba to join the Taishan thieves and attack the counties of Yanzhou. ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Ren to lead 3,000 soldiers to attack Peicheng. Cao Cao personally raised the army and fought with Liu Bei against Lu Bu. Before Shandong, the road is close to Xiaoguan, and it is encountering more than 30,000 troops led by Taishan Kou Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Feng to block the way. Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu and Dian Wei to fight, and the four generals went out together.

Xu Chu rode his horse to block Sun Guan and Wu Dun, and Dian Wei held a double halberd to defeat Yin Li and Chang Xuan. Yin Li was holding a spear to resist Dian Wei's big iron halberd, Dian Wei dodged a knife from Chang Xuan, and half of Yin Li's head was cut off with a halberd.

Xu Chu violently slashed down Wu Dun, and Sun Guan and Chang Feng hurriedly rode their horses and fled when they saw this. Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to cover up and chase to Xiao Pass. Tan Ma Fei reported to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu had returned to Xuzhou at this time, and Chen Deng came to see him. When Lu Bu heard that Han Xuan's 20,000-strong army had entered Guangling without being resisted, he was furious and said, "Chen Deng, why did you bear me? ”

Chen Deng pretended to be confused and asked, "Why did the general say this?" ”

Lu Bu sneered: "Didn't you let Han Xuan's army come to Guangling to attack me?" ”

Chen Deng raised his head and laughed loudly: "The general is wrong to blame Chen Deng, Han Xuan has no grudge against the general, why do you want to help Cao Cao attack the general?" How could Han Xuan not take the land of Yuan Shu, but instead seek the land of Xuzhou from near and far? ”

Lu Bu was puzzled: "Could it be that Han Xuan is here to help me break Cao?" ”

Chen Deng smiled: "The general said it." Han Xuanbu shot Cao Xingzeng with an arrow to the left eye of Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun, and Han Xuan was deeply afraid that Cao Cao would take revenge on him after taking Xuzhou. Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Han Xuan wanted to lead the army to welcome the Son of Heaven Yu Changlang, but Cao Cao took the lead, and the two had already had a grudge. Today, I came to help the general break Cao, and there are letters from two generals, Huang Zhong and Chen Wu, as evidence. ”

Chen Deng presented the letters of Huang Zhong and Chen Wu, and Lu Bu thought it was true after reading it, and laughed and said: "Han Xuan really has a unique vision, and he sees Cao Cao's army like a mustard. Now Cao Ren led his troops to attack Xiaopei, and Yuanlong can follow me to save him. ”

Lu Bu ordered Chen Qi to guard Xuzhou, and before Chen Deng left, Chen Qi said to him: "In the past, Duke Cao once said that all the affairs of the East would be handed over to you. Now Lu Bu will be defeated, but he can figure it out. ”

Chen Deng said: "What happens outside, I have my own way to deal with it; If Lu Bu was defeated, his father asked Mi Zhu to defend the city together, and let Lu Bu enter the city, and his son had his own plan to escape. ”

Chen Jue said helplessly: "Bu's wife is small here, and she has a lot of henchmen, what can I do about it?" ”

Chen Deng smiled: "I have a plan!" ”
