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. ”

"Sure enough, it's a clever plan, if that's the case, then bother Yuanlong, you go to persuade Zhang Min, and go to Guangling to try to drag Qiao Rui and Chen Lan, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault."

Lu Bu felt that Chen Deng's plan was very brilliant, and immediately agreed to this plan, so he began to make arrangements.

However, he saw Chen Gong suddenly say: "Lord, Chen Yuanlong is resourceful, and he is very familiar with Guangling, so Yuanlong has to ask Yuanlong to worry more about Guangling's affairs, as for Zhang Min, there is also the matter of cracking Zhang Xun, all of which will be handed over to the lower officials." ”

It turned out that after some thought, Chen Gong felt that there was no merit at all in going to Guangling, and staying in Xiapi was able to defeat Yuan Shu's great merit, which of the two was more advantageous and could not be seen at a glance?

That's why Chen Gong said like this.

When Chen Deng heard this, he immediately said in embarrassment: "Mr. Gongtai is old and serious, and he is the best at guarding Guangling, why do you want me to run again?" ”

Chen Gong said with a humble face: "Yuanlong, you don't have to be polite, your ability is seen, if you want to defend Guangling, you have to do it." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he also said: "Since this is the case, let's bother Yuanlong to go to Guangling, as for Xiapi here, it will be Lao Gongtai, since Gongtai said so, I believe he will be able to deal with Zhang Min and Zhang Xun." ”

Chen Deng still looked reluctant, but Lu Bu repeatedly persuaded him, and Chen Deng finally had no choice but to agree.

However, in fact, Chen Deng was so happy that he didn't know what to say, because his plan was completely successful, and he would soon be able to break away from Lu Bu, in fact, it was not difficult to prevent Qiao Rui and Li Feng, and as long as he succeeded, he would be able to accumulate enough prestige in Guangling, so that he could easily control Guangling, as long as he stayed here, he was equivalent to a strong party, and since then he has also jumped out of the circle of right and wrong, once the dust settles for the competition for Xuzhou in the future, he will dedicate Guangling again, There will definitely be a pretty good ending in the future.

After Chen Deng returned to his home, he immediately told his father Chen Qi his thoughts, and Chen Qi also praised this, and their father and son took the opportunity to break away from Lu Bu's control, which was like a bird getting out of trouble and a dragon returning to the sea.

Although Chen Gong is a generation of wise men, but at this time, he only cares about fighting for merit, and he didn't think of Chen Deng's plan at all, and it was too late when he thought of it, and because he took the initiative to bring it up himself, he couldn't say that Chen Deng's was not, otherwise wouldn't it seem that he was too stupid? He was used alive.

Although he was depressed in his heart, Chen Gong also had to cheer up and help Lu Bu defeat Yuan Shu, he believed that as long as he could defeat Yuan Shu, he would also be able to make great contributions because of this, and the benefits he would get in the future may not be less than Chen Deng's.

Therefore, Chen Gong personally went to Zhang Min's camp to persuade him, gave Zhang Min a rich gift, and praised Zhang Min, and finally talked about Yuan Shu's rebellion, and finally did not end well, and promised that once the matter was successful, he promised to worship Zhang Min as the assassin of Yangzhou.

Zhang Min was really lured by Chen Gong's profits, he was originally a greedy person, seeing that Chen Gong gave so many benefits, and promised that after the matter was completed, Bao Ju and their Yangzhou assassination history, his heart was naturally even more happy, so he agreed to Chen Gong's words without any consideration, and resolutely led the army to break into Chen Lan's tent at midnight three days later, and then suddenly attacked and killed Chen Lan, after which it was announced that Chen Lan was plotting to cooperate with the enemy, and was captured by him, and then forcibly annexed this army under the pretense of Yuan Shu's order.

Later, Zhang Min led the army to meet Zhang Xun, and told Zhang Xun about Chen Lan's "plot to rebel" again, Zhang Xun didn't know what to do, and now Zhang Min has nearly 20,000 people around him, he naturally doesn't dare to take it lightly, even if Chen Lan is really wronged now, he can only choose to believe Zhang Min in order to stabilize the situation, for fear that it will cause chaos in the army because of this trivial matter.

Zhang Xun thought that he was generous enough to Zhang Min, and even if Zhang Min was grateful to him, he would definitely follow him to fight hard.

However, he didn't expect that when he fought the next day, Zhang Xun followed Zhang Min's advice and led the army to chase and kill after the army led by Lu Bu himself, and as a result, he directly entered Lu Bu's ambush circle, and the officers and men in the army suffered heavy losses
