Chapter 539: Chen Deng takes over Xuzhou
Gradually, Chen Deng turned his head, not daring to make eye contact with Liu Bei, the guilt in his heart became more and more strong, but Chen Deng wanted to force his heart to harden his heart. Because, he wants to pave a broad road for the future of the Chen family in Xuzhou. Cao Cao is bound to win Xuzhou, and Liu Bei has no strength to defend at all, if the Chen family blindly and loyally follows Liu Bei, when Xuzhou is broken by Cao's army, it is also the moment when the Chen family is wiped out. On the contrary, if he helps Cao Cao to get Xuzhou, with Cao Cao's temperament of loving talents, he will definitely be reused for him. Cao Cao has become the foundation of the world at this time, and Chen Deng's father 'Chen Jue' has always been famous for knowing people, Chen Jue saw that Cao Cao was a peerless hero, and the world was likely to fall into Cao Cao's hands. If the Chen family chooses to follow Cao Cao, it will inevitably continue to flourish for hundreds of years.
So, for the sake of the family. Between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Chen Deng finally chose to turn his back on his conscience and choose Cao Cao.
"If you say goodbye today, you and I will be incompatible. Yuanlong take care of yourself and get today's fruit, I don't blame you, it's me Liu Xuande who is incompetent. I also hope that Yuanlong can treat the people of Xuzhou well. Here, I thank Yuanlong in advance! ”
Liu Bei suddenly turned over and dismounted, bowed down, and bowed to Chen Deng in the city. Liu Bei's words, like a sharp sword, cut Chen Deng's heart fiercely, Chen Deng's body trembled violently, and he lowered his head unconsciously, and he was shameless to face.
"Patriarch, this Liu Xuande is so benevolent and righteous, we treat him like this, and he repays his grievances with virtue, do we really want to betray him?"
A certain Chen general whispered in Chen Deng's ear with a face full of unbearability. Chen Deng's handsome face twitched again, and after exhaling a big breath, he turned to leave.
From beginning to end, Chen Deng did not say a word, maybe the matter has come to this, he really has nothing to say. Liu Bei silently watched Chen Deng leave, and then remounted the horse, pulled the horse's head and returned to the formation.
The Chen family took refuge in Cao Cao, the East China Sea was lost, and Cao Cao's army could attack at any time.
"Big brother, the army has fought many battles and hurried for days, and our soldiers and horses are tired. Now we desperately need a place to rest our army. ”
After Liu Bei returned to the formation, Pan Feng said to Liu Bei with a solemn expression. Liu Bei frowned, and after thinking for a while, he replied with a bit of loneliness.
"Let's go to Longquan County, although it is remote and desolate, it is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"Longquan County? It was indeed a dangerous place to resist the enemy's defense. ”
After Pan Feng heard Liu Bei's words, he was stunned at first, but he knew that this Longquan County was deserted, and most of the people living in it were foreign natives. Liu Bei sighed deeply, and then ordered all the troops and horses to start rushing to Longquan County.
As for Chen Deng, he did not send troops and horses to cover up the killing. Chen Deng is like this, it can be said that he is hiding his selfishness and secretly letting Liu Bei live. At this time, Cao Cao's army is marching to Guangling, if Chen Deng can entangle Liu Bei, Cao Cao's army will be able to arrive in less than three days, and Liu Bei will be like a turtle in an urn, and he will definitely die!
Chen Deng has always been a ruthless person, as long as it is for the interests of the Chen family, conscience and loyalty can be abandoned. Chen Deng's abnormal choice shocked his father Chen Qi. However, after learning from a certain Chen general that Liu Bei said something in the city, Chen Qi made this understand the reason for Chen Deng's abnormality.
"Liu Xuande can endure thick black, and convince people with benevolence, as the saying goes, benevolence is invincible, no wonder Deng'er can hardly keep his heart. If this person does not die this time, there will be a time for the dragon to soar! ”
Chen Qi secretly slandered, and after pacing a few steps in front of Chen Deng's room, he suddenly sighed slightly and turned to leave. Originally, Chen Jue also wanted to persuade Chen Deng to send troops to pursue Liu Bei, but later for some reason Chen Jue changed his mind.
After Liu Bei led 7,000 soldiers to flee to Longquan County, he seized the time to build high forts, dig deep ditches, and lobby the local people of Longquan. Three days after Liu Bei fled from Guangling City, Cao Cao led 80,000 elite soldiers and heroes to rush to the city of Guangling.
At the north gate of Guangling, Chen Deng's handsome face rose with surprise again and again, only to see that the Cao army in the distance was almost covered with a line of heaven and earth, and the army was neat and orderly, such a huge number, but there was no confusion at all. Chen Deng was secretly surprised that Cao Cao had a way of governing his troops, such elite soldiers and horses, and he asked what army in the world could compete with him!
As for Chen Deng's side, an old man with gray hair and neat appearance, slightly similar to Chen Deng, with a pair of deep and wise eyes, shining with strange light again and again, this person is Chen Deng's father, Chen Qi. At the beginning, it was also Chen Qi who tried his best to persuade Chen Deng to defect to Cao Cao.
"It seems that this Cao Mengde is not only eloquent and strategic, but also strict in governing the army, such a figure is worthy of our Chen family's desperate follow! It seems that this time, the old man is pressing the right treasure. ”
Chen Qi secretly slandered, and at the same time, he was glad in his heart that he had chosen Cao Cao. When Chen Jue saw Cao Cao's majestic military appearance of 80,000 soldiers, he was sure on the spot, even if he didn't take refuge in Cao Cao and tried his best to help Liu Bei with the Chen family, it would be impossible to repel Cao Cao with Liu Bei's strength!
As the 80,000 Cao army got closer and closer, the earth-shattering sound of soldiers and horses stepping on the ground, and the sound of soldiers colliding, directly hit the cranial nerves of every Guangling civil and military, generals, and soldiers.
Half an hour later, Cao Cao suddenly waved his big hand, and the 80,000 soldiers immediately stopped and stopped, and each column was extremely neat, and none of the soldiers took one more step or one less step. Cao Cao's face was cold, and he shouted in a condensed voice.
"Who is Chen Yua
Dragon! ”
Chen Deng heard Cao Cao's shout, his face suddenly changed, and he secretly thought that with Cao Cao's traditional marching style, he would always send scouts to inquire about the information of the place where he marched, perhaps at this time Cao Cao probably knew that Liu Bei had left Guangling safely. And with Cao Cao's superb wisdom, how could he not guess that this was his Chen Deng's intention.
Chen Deng has a lot of bitterness in his heart, under the command of a hero like Cao Cao, it is like answering the old saying, a companion is like a tiger. As soon as Chen Deng voted for Cao Cao, he did such a rebellious thing, Chen Deng was unmoved on the surface, but his heart was uneasy, he stared, hurriedly took a step forward, and held his hand to worship.
"Chen Yua
The dragon greets the prime minister! ”
Cao Cao squinted at the details, which exuded a sharp light, and looked at Chen Deng. Chen Deng only felt that Cao Cao's eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing into his heart, looking at all the thoughts in his heart. Before he knew it, Chen Deng was already covered in cold sweat, and Cao Cao's cold face suddenly changed, and he actually laughed.
"Hahahaha! Two years ago, could it be that you resisted the attack of Cao Ren's army in Guangling! ”
Chen Deng's face changed again, and his heart was even more worried, although Cao Cao was smiling, who knew if he wanted to settle accounts after the autumn at this time. However, a peerless hero like Cao Cao, how could he think the same as ordinary people. Maybe Cao Cao didn't mean this at all, but had another deep meaning.
Chen Deng's mind was spinning, and then his face turned straight, and he bowed his hand again.
"It's Chen."
Chen Deng's admit, Cao Cao's face suddenly changed again, and he became extremely dark. Chen Qi, who was behind Chen Deng, was even more shocked, and secretly scolded how could Chen Deng be so indistinguishable from the situation and admit the matter to his face. And even if you have to admit it, at least you have to find some excuses for your loyalty.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Deng coldly for a long time, Chen Deng lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more. After a dead silence, Cao Cao laughed loudly again, and praised Chen Deng again and again.
"Good, good! Chen Yua
Dragon, you dare to admit this in front of someone Cao. Your spirit, Cao admires!! But keep in mind that there are some things that are not just words, and if you repeat them, it will be foolish. Cao has never been soft on stupid people. ”
Cao Cao's voice was cold and clear, not only did Chen Deng's heart beat when he heard it, but even Chen Qi behind him was in a cold sweat, lest Cao Cao would suddenly kill Chen Deng.
"Chen Yua
Long thanked Prime Minister Cao for his teachings. Chen Yua
Long Ding should remember that he will never do it again, if he violates this word, he will be punished by heaven! ”
"Hey! For such a trivial matter, why do you need to swear such a poisonous oath. Cao is just giving you some reminders. Chen Yua
The dragon listens! Liu Xuande persecuted Tao Qian and forcibly seized power in Xuzhou, and then concealed the imperial court and deceived the position of state pastor. Fortunately, Skynet was restored and not leaked, and Liu Xuande's evil deeds were exposed. As the minister of the Han Dynasty, I should uphold the righteousness and deal with the public. From today on, Liu Bei and his generals will be dismissed, and the position of Xuzhou pastor will be Chen Yua
Dragon Temporary Generation. Afterwards, someone Cao will report this matter to the saint one by one and announce it to the world! ”
Cao Cao suddenly promised to be located in Chen Deng, and Chen Deng was Cao Cao
o
G can be described as startled, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the bright smile on Cao Cao's mouth, so he quickly knelt down and bowed down like a dream.
"Thank you for your kindness!!"
Xuzhou, Guangling City.
The 50,000 Cao army almost filled all the tents in the school field, and the remaining 30,000 Cao troops went down to the village ten miles outside the city according to Cao Cao's order. In fact, there are still a lot of vacant land in Guangling City where these soldiers and horses can be placed, of course, Cao Cao's arrangement has another deep meaning, after all, Chen Dengxintou, regardless of whether his loyalty is credible or not, but some precautions that should be done still have to be done.
In the Guangling City school grounds, Cao Chunzheng led a team of soldiers and horses to patrol the surroundings, and a Cao general asked in a low voice in Cao Chun's ear with some doubts.
"General, according to the spies, this Chen Yua
Long let Liu Bei go privately, and according to military law, even if he is not heavily punished, he will have at least 30 military sticks. But the lord not only did not punish him, but also gave him the high position of Xuzhou pastor. The lord's thoughts really make the villain puzzled. ”
Cao Chun frowned, suddenly stopped his pace, and stared coldly at the questioning Cao General, his eyes sharp and with Ling Ran's compulsion. That Cao Jiang only felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and a cool breath rushed from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit cover.
"The lord is a peerless lord who is not one of the hundred worlds, and his thoughts are not understood by ordinary people like you. Chen Yua
Long is a man of great resourcefulness, and he has won the praise of the lord and Guo Saijiu, and don't forget that even the eldest brother of General Ben was forced to do nothing by him! The lord has always loved talents, like Chen Yua
It is also reasonable for the lord to use such a peerless talent as a dragon for him.
What's more, Chen Yua
The Chen family behind the dragon is a big family in Xuzhou, and they are powerful in Xuzhou. The lord wants to stabilize Xuzhou as soon as possible, and he should have the help of the Chen family. In this regard, the lord indulged him a little, also for the sake of the overall situation. However, this is only once, with the temperament of the lord, if he dares to commit another offense. Hmph, even if he is the reincarnation of Zhang Liang, the lord will not hesitate to cut off his head. ”
Cao Chun knows Cao Cao's temperament very well, Cao Cao has the strength of the sky, but it does not mean that Cao Cao allows his subordinates to serve and indulge in his talents, if he violates Cao Cao's bottom line, then even if Cao Cao has more love for his talent and bravery, he will also rule strictly according to the law and leave no mercy.
The general of the Cao clan listened to Cao Chun's words, and unconsciously remembered the major event that shook Luoyang a year ago, and this incident could be said to have alarmed the entire Cao clan. The reason why this incident caused a storm in Luoyang a year ago was because it involved both the Cao family and the Han family.
