"Peiguo and I Xuzhou are dependent on each other, as long as we pay enough price, Lu Su may still save us, but how can Lu Bu save us? I sent someone to ask him for help, but he refused directly. Tao Qian's face was full of remorse, he really shouldn't have let Zang Ba go, otherwise there would be no disaster today, and now, even if he wants to ask Lu Bu for help, the other party will not necessarily help him.

But saw Chen Deng said: "At this time and that time, now Cao Cao's army has come to the East China Sea, next to Lu Bu's Langya country, Lu Bu's heart must also be uneasy, if at this time the envoy asks him to lead troops to rescue on favorable terms, he will definitely agree, otherwise, once my Xuzhou is captured, the next one is him Lu Bu." ”

"Then what conditions do you need for Lu Bu to send troops to help?" As soon as Tao Qian saw this sentence, he understood in his heart that if he wanted to get the peace of Xuzhou, he could only be ruthless.

Tao Qian felt very sad for himself, originally he just wanted to keep Xuzhou, and he had no ambitions, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for the catastrophe to come, first Zang Ba was deceived by Pei Qing, and then the first general he trusted, Cao Bao, was really a straw bag, he could only speak loudly, but he had no ability, and another subordinate general who was relied on by himself took the opportunity to escape to Guangling, and killed Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, robbed a lot of property, crossed the river with more than 10,000 people, and defected to Xue Li in Moling, Later, I heard that he killed Xue Li by the same means, and then defected to Yangzhou to assassinate Liu Xuan.

In the case that there is really no way, Tao Qian sighed: "In this case, then please ask Yuanlong to go to Langya Country, and ask Lu Bu to lead the army to aid us, when the time comes, I am willing to give up the post of Xuzhou Pastor to Lu Bu, and I will send Elk Zizhong to Peiguo to ask Lu Su to send troops, after the matter is completed, I can promise to cut Peng Chengguo to Pei Qing." ”

"No, then the next official will go to Langya." Chen Deng sighed, although he knew that Xuzhou would have no peace from now on, but he could only try to find a way to eliminate this war, after all, Cao Cao was so brutal that he ordered the slaughter of the city, even if he gave Xuzhou to Lu Bu, he couldn't give it to him.

Chen Deng made a little preparation, then took the guarantee given by Tao Qian and set off to Langya to meet Lu Bu.

At this time, Lu Bu was also paying close attention to the situation in Xuzhou, because the north of Donghai County is the Langya Kingdom, once Cao Cao captured the East China Sea, Xiapi and other places, he would definitely not let go of the Langya Kingdom, Lu Bu knew that what kind of deep hatred he had with Cao Cao now?

But at this time, Chen Gong advised him not to be impatient, because Chen Gong believed that in the near future, Tao Qian would definitely find a way to send someone to him, because in the entire Xuzhou, there is only Langya who has the strength to fight against Cao Cao, and Tao Qian will not refuse to invite them, and even if it is for revenge, Tao Qian will drag them into the war.

At this time, Zhang Miao also advised Lu Bu not to be too impatient and wait patiently for the opportunity.

If there is anyone Cao Cao hates the most, it must be the Zhang Miao brothers and Chen Gong, because if it weren't for them, Lu Bu would have no chance to betray at all, Cao Cao is very likely to directly attack Chang'an and occupy the Sanfu region when Pei Qing dragged the main force of the Xiliang army, but now although he has successfully coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, his own strength has not improved much, but even Luoyang can not actually control it, and he feels uneasy because Pei Qing easily kicked the Son of Heaven to him, for fear that this is Pei Qing's conspiracy.

Zhang Miao naturally knew that Cao Cao hated him, so now he could only stay by Lu Bu's side and try his best to help Lu Bu come up with ideas, in fact, he didn't know that if it wasn't for Lu Su's original plan to delay Cao Cao's trip, both he and Lu Bu would have been caught up on the night before they left Mount Tai, and then they were made dumplings.

Lu Bu saw that the two wise men Chen Gong and Zhang Miao were all persuaded like this, although he was suspicious in his heart, he could only choose to believe it, secretly fought his troops, and ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.

And Chen Gong's expectation was not wrong, a day had not passed, and Lu Bu heard that Tao Qian had sent Chen Deng to ask for a meeting.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered to meet Chen Deng, but Chen Gong advised him to dry the other party first, just lie down peacefully in the tent, and it was not too late to see Chen Deng again after an hour.

So Lu Bu sent his subordinate to stop Chen Deng outside the tent and told him that he was resting, and he would talk about it when he was done.

Unexpectedly, Chen Deng shouted directly outside the tent: "Lu Yuanjun, I am not only for Tao Gong, but also for you, now Cao Cao is tyrannical, if the general leads the troops to repel Cao Cao at this time, he will definitely collect the hearts of the people of Xuzhou, General Lu, you take this opportunity to clean up the people's hearts, the whole Xuzhou is at your fingertips, and if the general you learn those scholars, lying in the account and lying down safely, although you can occupy a greater initiative, but you will inevitably miss the opportunity, once Xiapi is captured, Cao Cao will definitely turn his head and fight with General Lu. At that time, the general is isolated, and with the precedent of the general, who is willing to take you in in this world? ”

After Lu Bu heard about it in the tent, he immediately jumped up, opened the tent directly, and said: "This is all Mr. Chen's idea, in fact, what I disdain the most is this kind of thing, I have heard the name of Yuanlong for a long time, I am fortunate to see you today, please come in quickly, let's discuss the matter of sending troops." ”

Chen Gong on the side couldn't help but turn red after hearing this, he didn't expect Lu Bu to point out his name in person, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Chen Deng just glanced at Chen Gong with a smile, didn't say anything, but continued to say to Lu Bu: "Envoy, now that Cao Cao is attacking Tanxian with all his might, he would not expect you to send troops at this time, as long as the siege of the East China Sea is relieved, Cao Cao will not dare to enter the army without authorization, and the situation in Xuzhou will be stabilized, Tao Gong has made a promise, as long as the general can repel Cao Cao and protect my Xuzhou, Tao Gong is willing to give up the position of Xuzhou pastor to the general." ”

"What? It's true? After hearing the news, Lu Bu suddenly became calm, and asked with a face full of disbelief.

"Haha, it's naturally true, this is Tao Gong's handwriting, and it was said in front of all the civil and military, and the general will know it when he looks at it." When Chen Deng saw Lu Bu's reaction, he immediately felt a little disdainful in his heart, because this Lu Bu was too composed.

"It seems that it is difficult for such a person to hold Xuzhou after all, and it is a mistake to pin Xuzhou on him after all, but I have no choice now, I don't want to watch my homeland be slaughtered in retaliation, I can only take one step at a time in the future, see which one of Pei Qing and Cao Cao can hope to get Xuzhou, and then I will find a way to help him in exchange for the safety of the family."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll immediately personally send troops to rescue Xuzhou, Yuanlong, and after I become the pastor of Xuzhou, you will be in charge." Lu Bu was very excited when he heard this, and he didn't expect that Chen Deng, who was smiling at this time, was thinking about how to betray him in the future.
