Everyone followed Liu Bei to the city gate, only to see a man dressed as a scribe standing in front of the city gate with his hands in his hands, looking at the surrounding scene.

Liu Bei looked carefully, but he didn't know this person, so he stepped forward and bowed his hand, "Liu Bei has seen this gentleman!" I don't know Mr. Gao's name? ”

When the scribe heard Liu Bei's voice, he hurriedly turned around, looked at Liu Bei first, and returned the salute with a smile: "I have admired Liu Yuzhou's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really had an outstanding temperament and an extraordinary appearance. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was taken aback, of course he had heard of Chen Gong, "It turned out that Mr. Gongtai was visiting, and he was terrified, this is not a place to speak, and I asked Mr. to follow me to the mansion to talk about it." ”

He hurriedly welcomed Chen Gong into his mansion, and after serving tea, he retreated left and right, leaving only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong.

Chen Gong looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and asked with a smile, "Dare to ask Liu Yuzhou, are these two generals your sworn brothers, General Guan Yunchang and General Zhang Yide?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, "It's my two virtuous brothers, this is the second brother Yunchang, and this is the third brother Yide!" ”

"I have long heard that the two generals are unworthy of bravery, and in the past, the crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves was already famous all over the world, and when I saw it today, it was really a blessing for three lives."

"The great things I have planned, with the help of two generals, will be able to accomplish it!"

Liu Bei has always been curious about Chen Gong's intentions, and when he saw Chen Gong say this, he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Gongtai is thousands of miles away, and he came to my Xiaopei alone, I don't know what the matter is?" I heard earlier that Mr. said that he had a big gift for me? ”

"Liu Yuzhou, don't worry, wait for me to elaborate. This gift is Yanzhou, I want to dedicate the counties of Yanzhou to Liu Yuzhou, I don't know what Liu Yuzhou wants? ”

"What? Will Yanzhou be offered to me? Mr. Gongtai is playing tricks on me? That Yanzhou is now Cao Cao's lair, and it has been in business for a long time, how can you dedicate it to me? ”

Chen Gong smiled, Liu Bei's reaction was expected by him, "Xuande Gong is not in a hurry, I dare to say so, naturally I am a little sure." Do you know that Cao Mengde's last expedition to Xuzhou, although he was nominally avenging his father, he actually coveted the rich land of Xuzhou. ”

"However, he killed innocent people indiscriminately in Pengcheng and other places, which was very disappointing to us. This time, he didn't listen to our advice, insisted on going his own way, and for his own selfish desires, he raised that unrighteous soldier and went east to Xuzhou again. ”

"I and other Yanzhou scholars, not only worried about the people of Yanzhou, but also heartbroken that the people of Xuzhou will suffer from the disaster of swords again, so I secretly contacted Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao brothers and many other fellow villagers and colleagues, hoping to find a virtuous and benevolent lord to sit in Yanzhou and benefit one party."

"I have long heard that Xuande Gong is a member of the royal family, and he loves the people like a son the most, is kind-hearted, takes care of the hungry, and governs the government well. Therefore, I proposed to welcome Liu Yuzhou as the lord of Yanzhou, and Brother Zhang Miao, Lord Xu Yan, and Lord Wang Kai have all agreed. ”

"Send me as a messenger to welcome Xuande Gong into Yanzhou, I don't know what Xuande Gong will do?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he realized that there was really a pie in the sky in this world, and now this pie smashed his head.

Someone really gave it to him with the land of Yanzhou, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's master, everyone was very excited, this is Liu Bei's opportunity to soar into the sky!

It seems that Liu Bei pays attention to his reputation on weekdays, and his good deeds to save people will eventually be rewarded.

Liu Bei immediately bowed to Chen Gong to the end, "Thank you Mr. Gongtai for your love, and I am willing to seek happiness for the people of Yanzhou and protect one party." Please also ask Mr. Gongtai and all the adults in Yanzhou to help! ”

Chen Gong hurriedly also bowed to Liu Bei to the end, "Chen Gong thanked Xuande Gong for his high righteousness and saved the people of the two states in dire straits, I am willing to serve Xuande Gong as the master, and will never betray, the lord is above, please accept Chen Gong's worship." ”

Saying that he was about to make a big salute to pay homage, Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up, "Mr. Gongtai, since you and I are a family, you don't have to be so polite, I am willing to use Mr. Gongtai as a military advisor to help me take Yanzhou, is Mr. willing?" ”

Chen Gong was also not humble, "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

"Good! Good! Two virtuous brothers, Xianhe has not seen our military advisor soon, I have to help from the public platform, and great things can be expected! ”

Liu Bei was extremely excited, as a person with vigorous ambitions hidden deep in his heart, he seemed to see a road to heaven to realize his life ideals!

Chen Gong also quickly entered the role and began to give advice to Liu Bei.

That night, a group of soldiers with torches left Xiaopei and headed east.

Cao Cao's scouts patiently counted the five thousand troops heading east, but the march was not fast, and the news soon spread back to Cao Cao's army.

Cao Cao's army had already arrived in Lanling, not far from Tan County.

Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei sent troops to the east in the middle of the night, and the five thousand people were already all Liu Bei's belongings.

He wasn't worried, he was still thinking about Liu Bei's defense, these 5,000 people were always a henchman behind him, but now that Liu Bei came out by himself, he didn't have to be polite.

"Yuan Rang, Zilian, you two bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to capture Liu Bei to see me, you want to live!"

The second general received the order and led the army to fight. Xiahoudun and Cao Hong took 10,000 soldiers and horses to follow the direction from which Liu Bei came from the east and searched all the way to the west.

As a result, until noon, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were not seen, and there were many panicked people along the way, but it was reasonable for the people to see the army panic.

Later, he finally found a lot of burned torches thrown on the ground in a place, and Xiahoudun couldn't hold it anymore and arrested a few people.

After careful inquiry, I learned that last night, hundreds of Liu Bei's subordinates led the people in Xiaopei City to the east with torches.

Xiahoudun hurriedly led the army to kill Xiaopei, but saw that the city gate was closed, the drawbridge was hanging high, and Cao's army was a little closer, and the arrows rained down on the city, and the defense was very tight.

Cao Cao did not give him a military order to attack Xiaopei, and Xiahoudun had no choice but to lead the army back to the camp to explain the details to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was puzzled, which one did Liu Bei sing when he went out of the city in the middle of the night?

I didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, but I hooked up the old problem of headaches, and the pain was terrible, and the attack on Tan County was suspended.

Tao Qian had long expected that Cao Cao would not give up, and in the past six months, he has overhauled the city defenses, and appointed Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school, as the Taishou of the East China Sea to help him defend the city.

Chen Deng, whose name is Yuanlong, has been erudite since childhood, and is not only good at growing grains, but also good at defending the city.

With him in charge of defending the city, Cao Cao was eager to take down Tanxian at all, but was counterattacked by Chen Deng out of the city, losing his troops and losing his generals, and the general Li Dian was seriously injured.

In July, bad news suddenly came from Yanzhou that made Cao Cao thunder.

The officials of many counties and counties in Yanzhou, led by Chen Liutai, Chen Liutai, Zhang Miao and others, colluded together and refused to obey Cao Cao's orders, but supported Liu Bei as the lord of Yanzhou.

Liu Bei proclaimed himself the Yanzhou Assassin History, and paid tribute to the Chang'an Imperial Court, and recommended Zhang Chao as the Yuzhou Assassin History, and Chen Gong as the Dongjun Taishou and Yanzhou Assassin History.

The counties of Yanzhou responded one after another, and in the end, only Juancheng in Jiyin, Fan County and Dong'e County in Dongjun were still in Cao Cao's hands.

Cao Cao hurriedly led the army back from Xuzhou, Chen Deng led the army and Chen Zhi led the Qingzhou army in Lanling to attack Cao Cao, Li Dian with the wounded desperately covered Cao Cao's army to the front, and finally was wiped out together with the troops of the five thousand palaces, Cao Cao was heartbroken when he heard it.
