It is said that Cao Cao's army was killed in Puyang City, and although Lu Bu was ready to fight Cao Cao in Puyang City, he felt that he should still have a back road.

So he followed Chen Gong's advice and sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Bei. The letter said: I want to join forces with Liu Bei and the two families to destroy Cao. At this time, Han Fei was still in Jiang and had not returned, so Liu Bei summoned Fu Zhu and Chen Deng to listen to their opinions.

After reading Lu Bu's letter, he said: "My lord, Lu Bu is capricious, and he has repeatedly rebelled against his master!" I'm not in favor of working with them! ”

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this: "This person is indeed as frustrated as he said, and I don't want to have too much contact with him." But now that he invited me to fight Cao Cao together, I really have some ......."

Liu Bei didn't say anything further, but both of them understood what he meant. I have already fought with Cao Cao before, and there will definitely be another battle in the future. If Cao Cao can be disabled now, it will definitely be a good thing for Liu Bei. Lu Bu must have written this letter for this reason, but Lu Bu would definitely not have thought of such a distant thing, it must have been done by that Chen Gong, it seems that this person should not be underestimated!

Chen Deng said at this time: "Lord, in fact, you might as well agree to him, but we don't want to fight Cao Cao to the death, as long as we put on a posture of sending troops, then Cao Cao is bound to increase troops in the corresponding area, so that the pressure on Lu Bu will be much less, then he can hold out for a longer time." As long as Lu Bu is still in Yanzhou for a day, then Cao Cao will be like a fish in his throat! Even if he wants to develop with peace of mind, he can't. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately: "What Yuanlong said is right, in this way, I will increase my troops in Pengcheng and Lucheng, I believe that Cao Mengde will definitely be careful to take precautions!" ”

Fu Zhu followed and said, "Since the lord has already decided, then you might as well do it more thoroughly." At the junction of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, there is a big mountain called Jiuli Mountain. There is a small city next to the mountain, called Shanyang County, which first belonged to Yanzhou East County. The lord could have someone take the small city and then station troops on Jiuli Mountain, so that Cao Cao would have panicked. ”

"The lord can also send some grain, grass and ordnance to Lu Bu, I believe that with the support of the lord, he will definitely hold on longer!" Chen Deng added.

After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately clapped his hands and said, "Very good! Yuanlong, you replied to Lu Bu on my behalf, and I agreed with him to fight Cao together. Not only that, but I will give him 10,000 loads of grain and grass, 10 loads of salt, and 3,000 pieces of ordnance! When the time comes, let him remember to send troops to receive it. ”

"It's the lord!" Chen Deng agreed.

"Then let's discuss it again, who should send troops to occupy Shanyang County?" Liu Bei asked.

After a while, he pondered: "My lord, I recommend one person to be this person!" ”

"Who?" Liu Bei said curiously.

"Zhang He, Zhang Junyi!" Frustrated replied.

"Well, that's a good candidate. But if he leaves the city of Naru, who will guard it? ”

"Lord, Taishan County is now occupied by Sun Guan and Chang Xuan, why don't you transfer one person to Lucheng! In this way, Zhang He can get out! Frustration advised.

"Chang Xuan?" Liu Bei frowned, he remembered that Han Fei had reminded him that this Taishan thief was different from others, this person was greedy and capricious, and he must not be allowed to lead the troops alone! Liu Bei, Han Fei's ability to recognize people, is very recognized, but this Chang Feng has been under his command for some time, and he still looks very honest, plus there is really no one available under him at this moment. So Liu Bei finally decided to transfer Sun Guan to guard Lucheng and stay in Taishan County.

Since it was decided, Liu Bei immediately gave an order. Fu Zhu and Chen Deng all took the order and left.

Besides, Lu Bu was overjoyed when he received Liu Bei's letter, if Liu Bei helped, then he would have the hope of defeating Cao Cao and then occupying the entire Yanzhou. However, compared to his optimism, Chen Gong did not see it that way. Liu Bei's promise was too simple, not only did he not mention any conditions, but he also had to send grain, grass and ordnance. This made Chen Gong have to wonder what Liu Bei's intentions were.

However, he didn't figure out what Lu Bu had to do to make Liu Bei pay so much attention to it. So he didn't want to do it at all, and went out of the house in the evening, wandering around the city without having anything to do. At this time, when the lights were on, he suddenly saw a wine shop on the street, and immediately felt unbearable hunger in his stomach. I patronized it all afternoon, but I didn't get a drop of water, and I didn't get hungry, so it's strange!

So Chen Gong walked towards this tavern, and when he entered the tavern, he found that there were only five large tables in the place, and there were not many people at this time, but here he saw an acquaintance. This person is not someone else, it is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the generals under Lu Bu. This Liao followed Lu Bu from the time of the annexation of the state, and never gave up on the east and west, and was the real right-hand man of Lu Bu's men.

At this moment, Zhang Liao was drinking alone with his back to him, looking a little lonely. Chen Gong walked over quickly, sat down opposite Zhang Liao and said, "Why is General Zhang drinking alone here?" ”

"Why is Mr. Gongtai here?" Zhang Liao was stunned when he saw Chen Gong.

"General Zhang can come, can't I come?" Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Where, where! Mr. Gongtai can call me the table! ”

"Okay, then I will call you Wenyuan, you don't have to call Mr. Wu, just call the public platform. By the way, I just saw that you looked lonely, isn't there something that can't be done? ”

"Hey, Mr. Gongtai!" Zhang Liao sighed: "I won't tell you, I'm really homesick!" I didn't go back after following the general to leave Bingzhou, my family is still in Yanmen, there is a nuisance of the Huns all the year round, I am a little worried about not going back for so long! ”

As the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, Zhang Liao is just a complaint, but it sounds like a big deal in Chen Palace! Although it is normal for soldiers to miss their families, most of Lu Bu's subordinates are sons of Bingzhou, and most of their families are still in Bingzhou, which is a big problem. Especially now that Cao Cao's army is pressing, if the army's morale is unstable because of this matter, it will be a big deal!

"Then why don't Wen Yuan bring his family here?" Chen Gong stared at Zhang Liao and asked.

"Mr. Gongtai, don't bully me! Although our army occupies Puyang City, we have no foundation in Yanzhou, and sooner or later we will have to withdraw from this place. Zhang Liao smiled bitterly.

After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Chen Gong nodded and said: "Wen Yuan's words are true, although our army occupies Puyang now, the people's hearts are not in my hands!" Even if you can hold on to this time, you will have to leave sooner or later! It is imperative to find a place to put your roots! I've never known that Wen Yuan is really talented! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have missed a big thing! ”

"Mr. Gongtai, I just feel it, and I really don't deserve Mr. praise!" Zhang Liao hurriedly waved his hand. Chen Deng arched his hand at Zhang Liao, then got up to say goodbye, and went straight to the city lord's mansion without even eating.
