Chapter 342: Chen Deng's Clever Plan
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he ordered Hou Cheng to escort Han Yin to Chang'an to meet Pei Qing, so as to win over the relationship between him and Pei Qing.
This time, even Pei Qing didn't expect that Lu Bu would do this, and he was suddenly a little inexplicably surprised, because he knew that this Lu Bu had always been capricious and mercenary, if Yuan Shu was interested in wooing, it was difficult to guarantee that Lu Bu would not be fooled, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to send Han Yin to Chang'an so resolutely.
For a person like Han Yin, who is not capable enough and has a bad character, Pei Qing of course has no good impression, and directly ordered to be taken to the city to be beheaded by Cao to show the public.
Later, Pei Qing played Lu Bu as the general of Zhendong in response to the correct choice made by Lu Bu this time.
At the same time, Pei Qing spread the world, calling on the world's heroes to discuss the careerist Yuan Shu without a king and no father, and decided to discuss Yuan Shu first, and then cut down Cao Cao, so he personally led an army of 30,000 and a total of 10,000 soldiers from Wenpin, Gao Shun and Ma Teng to conquer Yuan Shu, and the generals brought by Xu Chu, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Deng Dang, Zheng Chang, Lu Meng, Fan Lin, Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, Yin Kaishan, Li Yan, Wen Ji and others, the military division was Hu Zhao, Xun You and Zhang Chao, and at the same time Xu Rong was Jing Zhaoyin, Li Su was the left Feng Yi, and Zhang He was the right Fufeng, The three of them performed their duties, stuck to Guanzhong, and waited for the opportunity to map Luoyang.
After the news spread, the whole world was shaken, and Lu Bu also said that he would personally go out to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu, and let Yuan Shu wash his neck and wait for death.
Before Lu Bu could get complacent, he suddenly heard bad news, that is, Yuan Shu first led his troops to attack his Xuzhou.
It turned out that the news that Lu Bu escorted Han Yin to Chang'an came out, Yuan Shu was furious when he heard the news, thinking that Lu Bu toasted and did not eat and drink, and now he has released words to deal with himself, of course he can't sit still, it is best to send troops to attack Lu Bu first, and eliminate Lu Bu before Pei Qing, which can be regarded as breaking Pei Qing's arm, and he can also have a certain depth of combat when fighting.
Therefore, Yuan Shu immediately ordered to denounce Lu Bu, worship Zhang Xun as the general, unify the army of 130,000, known as 200,000, divided into five roads to conquer Xuzhou, of which the first road Zhang Xun is in the center, commanding 30,000 troops, the second road is the left road, with Chen Ji as the main general, Lei Bo as the deputy general, the third road is the right road, with Chen Lan as the main general, Zhang Min as the deputy general, each commanding 20,000 troops, these three main attacks Xiapi, the fourth road is to Qiao Rui as the main general, the fifth road is Li Feng as the main general, respectively, from the left and right to attack Guangling, and with the general Ji Ling as the five-way rescue envoy, Led an army of 20,000 to rescue everywhere, this time Yuan Shu mobilized so many men and horses, ready to swallow Lu Bu's Xuzhou in one go.
In addition, Yuan Shu also personally led an army of 30,000 to advance slowly, the main purpose of this 30,000 army was to prevent the rendezvous between Pei Qing and Lu Bu's army, and he had to wait until he completely captured Xuzhou before he did his best to fight Pei Qing to the death, or to protect Xuzhou and Huainan to the death.
Lu Bu immediately became nervous after getting the news, he only had 50,000 troops at most in Xuzhou, and if he wanted to fight against so many men and horses on the other side, there was no possibility of defeat, so he complained to his wife Yan that he should not have rejected Yuan Shu so arbitrarily, and as a result, he caused this big disaster.
Yan Shi sneered and said, "Husband, you claim to be the number one general in the world, why are you so heroic and short-breathed? Now that you have decided to break with Yuan Shu, don't hesitate, you weren't even afraid of Cao Cao at the beginning, are you still afraid that a little Yuan Shu won't succeed? There are so many wise men under your command, you can consult them about a plan, why do you want to ask me a woman? Besides, Pei Qing is now leading the army to come, even if you hold on, you can wait for him to lead the army to come, right? ”
When Lu Bu heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he retreated, and went to the official residence to gather all the generals and officials to discuss how to deal with it.
At this time, I saw Chen Gong say coldly: "It is not difficult for the lord to solve this problem, he only needs to kill Chen Deng's father and son to apologize to Yuan Shu, and the crisis will be solved, but they suggested to the lord to escort Yuan Yin." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he didn't say anything, because he knew that this suggestion was not only mentioned by Chen Deng, but even his wife Yan had also been mentioned, and he couldn't kill his wife to apologize to Yuan Shu, right?
At this time, I saw Chen Deng smile lightly: "Lord, you don't have to kill me, isn't it just the Five Roads Soldiers and Horses?" I think they're like five piles of rotting weeds, and they don't bother at all. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and then said, "Oh? If you can find a way to block Yuan Shu's attack, I will pardon you. ”
"Haha, in fact, the matter is very simple, although Yuan Shu has many soldiers, they are all rabble, especially in recent years, in order to maintain the superior strength, he is constantly desperately expanding the army, many sergeants lack training, military discipline is not good, plus some generals are not reused at all, and there is resentment in their hearts, so they can be divided and disintegrated, I use regular soldiers to guard, and then attack with strange soldiers, I will definitely achieve a quick victory."
"Oh? But do we need to be in such a hurry to win? Pei Qing will soon lead the army to arrive, and at that time, Yuan Shu will naturally have nothing to do but retreat, we just need to hold on. Lu Bu was very unimpressed by Chen Deng's words to win, and shook his head and said.
But saw Chen Deng said: "Relying on others to defeat always can't show the heroism of the general, if the general can defeat Yuan Shu before Pei Gong arrives, this can show the general's divine might, at that time, even Pei Gong has to admire the general's ability, and he will naturally rely on it more in the future." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Yuanlong's words have won my heart, since this is the case, I will listen to it, what tricks does Yuanlong have to guard my Xuzhou?" ”
Chen Deng smiled lightly: "This is also Yuan Shu's foolishness, otherwise he will occupy Guangling with heavy troops, even if our army tries its best to save it, but it may not be as expected, but now that he is dividing his troops, we can naturally divide our troops to resist, and the last general suggested that Mr. R let Mr. Gongtai lead an army to defend Guangling, and he will inevitably drag Qiao Rui and Li Feng with a small number of troops, so as to reduce the pressure on Xiapi, as for Xiapi, this is also simple, Xia Guan has always known that Li Feng's subordinate general Zhang Min has always been profit-seeing, mercenary, The assist can send someone to buy Zhang Min with a lot of money, so that he can do internal response from it, so that Zhang Min will naturally find a way to kill the main general Chen Lan and start a rebellion, so that Yuan Shu's third road will have no threat, as for Zhang Xun in the middle lane, this person has always been brave and unscrupulous, the lord only needs to do this, he will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Xun, as long as Zhang Xun is defeated, Yuan Shu's offensive will naturally collapse. ”
