Chapter 997: Dongyang Chen Family

Cao Bao appeared, he was just guarded, but it was not easy to convince him, Liu Lan made a compromise, at this moment, for the sake of the common people and the Xuzhou army, there should be no more deaths on both sides, so he ensured the safety of Cao Bao's family.

The moment Cao Bao appeared, the battlefield suddenly became quiet, he didn't say a word, the only son walked into the battlefield alone, as if a tacit understanding had been reached, Xuzhou and Danyang troops stopped attacking at the same time at this moment.

Cao Bao, who strode into the battlefield with his head high, was full of confidence in persuading the Danyang army to surrender, this confidence did not come out of thin air, he was in charge of the Danyang army for several years, although they defected with Zhenrong, but the influence was still there.

The moment he appeared, he didn't say a word, but the Danyang army suddenly made a noise, and it began to spread like a plague, cheers rose to the sky, and weapons were thrown under their feet.

They are worthy of the Danyang army, even if they are defeated, no one escapes, but chooses to die on the battlefield like warriors.

"Gather the troops, take the power of great victory, and go south to Guangling (County)!"

"My lord, there will be a plan in the end."

"Yuan said quickly."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After three days of unarmouring and galloping, the troops entered the territory of Dongyang County.

When night fell, the night shrouded the endless wilderness, and suddenly, a long dragon appeared in the wilderness, marching quickly, and soon the long dragon entered a secluded dense forest, startling the birds.

The forest was dark and quiet, except for the sound of a small stream.

The troops dismounted and stationed, the bonfire was lit, and the soldiers began to wash the horse's nose, and soon the sound of scolding sounded, and soon the scolding turned into laughter and scolding, so lively.

Outside the lively crowd, a small tent was erected in the depths of the dense forest, and the tent was dimly lit. At this moment, Guan Yu was paying full attention to a Guangling atlas on the case, and the ultimate goal of this trip was to seize Jiangdu.

At the first time when the Xuzhou army broke the Danyang army, Xu Shu proposed that the lord send cavalry to attack Jiangdu for a long time, cut off the escape route of Guangling County, and annihilated Zhenrong in one fell swoop. But Jiangdu City is too unfamiliar to Guan Yu, and what is the population. The defenders, the height of the city wall, whether there is an urn city, all this will determine whether the three thousand dragoons can break through Jiangdu in a short time, Guan Yu, who has never fought uncertain battles, is eager to understand these situations, otherwise it is likely that as soon as he attacks the city in Jiangdu, Guangling Zhenrong will flee when he hears the news, and the strategic purpose of trapping and killing Xuzhou will naturally be in vain.

But it's a pity that he won't get an answer from Liu Lan's mouth, and it's his negligence to say this. From the beginning of the war to the present, he never considered a war in Jiangdu, in his opinion, as long as the Xuzhou army took Guangling, the southern Jiangdu would be self-defeating, in this case, Guan Yu could not directly attack Jiangdu, so he chose to camp in Dongyang County, which was close to Jiangdu. He needs to send people into Jiangdu County to investigate the situation in the county first, and then make proper arrangements according to the situation.

"Yide. I want to send someone to Jiangdu to investigate the reality of the defenders, who do you think can do it? “

"It's a pity that Shiren's kid isn't here." Zhang Fei said that he was screening the best candidate among the dragoons, this person not only had to be bold, but also careful, and his eyes lit up, and he said, "What do you think of Zhang Ping's kid?" ”

"It's too dangerous. Ziyuan is such a lone seedling, if there is an accident, the Zhang family will be extinct. ”

This time, Guan Yu was the main attacker in Jiangdu, and Zhang Fei was the deputy, and the two had known each other for many years. has cooperated for many years, and must be able to work together, otherwise in terms of the temperament of these two people, others may not be able to work together and cooperate tacitly, which is why Liu Lan sent the two, this battle is too important, otherwise it will be difficult for Zhenrong to escape or go west, and there will be endless troubles.

"Yun Chang, when the lord sent him to my side, he said such a sentence to me, this kid needs to be tempered, otherwise it will be a flower in the house, and it will not become a big tool, you and I are taking care of him so much, I think it will hurt him, how can he be alone in the future? Besides, our soldier has already abandoned life and death, I think he must be mentally prepared, not to mention that Jiangdu seems to be dangerous, but it has never been a life of nine deaths, of course, it would be best if there was a better way to break through Jiangdu. ”

"Wing De is right, so let's call that kid and see what he means first."

"No!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Captain Zhang, the lord of this battle asked me to lead the dragoon army to attack Jiangdu County, the first thing is a strange word instead of attacking the city, but to attack Jiangdu County, either use the speed of cavalry to attack the city in one fell swoop when the enemy does not react, or send a detailed work to infiltrate the city in advance, and the inside and outside should be combined, so I want to ask you, if you are the main general of this battle, how will you outwit Jiangdu County." Guan Yu stroked his hair and asked.

Uncle Guan, this is me in the school exam, I have to behave well. Zhang Ping shook his spirit, considering the gains and losses of the two strategies before and after, these two strategies seem to be the only way to attack the city today, this is also the use of the wonder of cavalry warfare, before the defenders have reacted or even dreamed that we would come so quickly to kill them by surprise, in one fell swoop into Jiangdu County, but this is a little unrealistic, first of all, after the Guangling battle is opened, Jiangdu will definitely enter the city guard? Even if the city gate is opened, it is at a specific point in time, which is also a time when the dragoon army wants to attack, and even send a fine work to mix into Jiangdu County, which has been prepared, it is very difficult, this point he knew clearly when he was in his hometown, unless the Jiangdu County Commander and the county lieutenant are pigs, he never thought that the Xuzhou army would come to Jiangdu, but he did not dare to guarantee such a probability, so the answer he gave was very clear, instead of rushing to Jiangdu, or even attacking Jiangdu, the best way is to use fraud, deceive Jiangdu County, as long as the army enters the city, can easily take Jiangdu County, when in the battle of Jizhou, he can personally see General Zilong make the deception open Lecheng.

"Oh, do you think the best way for us to attack Jiangdu is to deceive Jiangdu instead of attacking it?" Guan Yu originally wanted to send him to infiltrate Jiangdu, but he didn't expect this kid to have another opinion, although he is the son of an old friend, but the two have not worked together, even Zhang Fei has only worked together for half a month, this opinion really made the two of them look at him differently, especially Guan Yu, he had to remind him like this, he thought of a person when he was neutral, and suddenly laughed, and said: "I have some ideas about the matter of the deception city, but you kid still need to prepare to be a detailed work, if the deception of the city fails, then your kid must sneak into the city to do the detailed work." Don't dare! ”

"If you don't dare Uncle Guan, don't worry." Zhang Ping patted his chest and said.

"Huh?"

"Hehe, don't worry, the captain will go all out and never let the captain down."

"Stinky boy. Go for it. ”

"No!"

Zhang Ping walked quickly towards the outside of the tent, and soon withdrew from the tent, Zhang Fei looked at his figure and left completely, and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, how are you going to deceive Jiangdu County." ”

"Yide, do you remember the county lieutenant who stayed in Langya with Xu Fang?" Guan Yu pointed out.

"Chen Jiao?"

"Yes, it's him, the Chen family is a famous family in Guangling, and as far as I know. Chen's family is in Dongyang County. ”

Zhang Fei understood what Guan Yu meant, and said, "Okay, the last general will go and invite." ”

"No, I have to go in person, after I leave, you must guard the Chinese army." Let Zhang Fei go and ask for it, it may not be possible to come out with any moths, rather than having a headache at that time, it is better for him to go there in person......

"No!"

Chen Jiao's original surname was Liu, and he changed his surname to Chen because of his stepmother's family. The Chen family lives in the Chen family in Dongyang County. There were more than 300 original villagers, in Dongyang County, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, thieves abounded, and the Chen family was forced to go south until Chen Jiao grew up, and Xuzhou became more and more stable since Cao Cao's military disaster. The Chen family has just returned to their homeland, but more than ten years have passed, and the people of the Chen family have fled to death, coupled with the harsh government of Zhenrong, and forcibly promoted Buddhism. There are now only more than 100 families left in the noisy Chen family, less than 500 people, and many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

The inside is dilapidated, but with the relocation of Chen Jiao's family, a larger mansion was built on the basis of the original mansion, and the Chen family has recovered some vitality, all thanks to Chen Jiao's father Chen Rong, he is Li Zheng, who was a county magistrate in the county when he was young, and then engaged in the state school palace as a small official, and finally entered Beijing into Taixue as a sacrificial wine, not to say that it was in the Zhao family, that is, in the entire Dongyang County, that is also one of the best figures, when going to Jiangdong, whether it is Liu Xuan or Yuan Shu, he personally recruited his father and son, But because of his old age, he declined, and did not go out of any party, and his son Chen Jiao also declined the invitation of the two parties, resolutely returned to his hometown with his father, back on the day, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Guangling Zhenrong, Shouchun Yuan Shu, Moling Liu Xiang sent people to come, the four of them all understood that the old man returned to his hometown in order to stay in his hometown to quietly care for the elderly, so he was very smart to recruit Chen Jiao, but he did not go anywhere, in the situation at that time, Chen Jiao no matter where he was in the office, it would bring disaster to the Chen family, so that the Chen family was not at peace.

Time has passed, with Liu Lan taking charge of Xuzhou, Chen Jiao, who went out in the name of study tours, chose to go out in Xuzhou, but due to family reasons, the matter could not be spoken, but because of this, the Chen family still maintained influence in Guangling and even in Jiangdu, so as long as Guan Yu could persuade him to help, it would be easy to attack Jiangdu County.

In a rush of horses' hooves, Guan Yu entered Chen's house with 300 personal soldiers, turned over and dismounted on Chen Rong's mansion, personally stepped forward to knock the knocker, and said: "We have Xuzhou Liuzhou under the pastoral tent, entrusted by the third son of the Chen family!" ”

More than 300 soldiers, which one of the Chen Mansion dares to open the door, if the door of the robbers and thieves is opened, the Chen Mansion will suffer, hundreds of families are holding knives, guns and sticks one by one, guarding the door like a great enemy, and the housekeeper who heard the news hurriedly opened his eyes and looked around, more than 300 officers and soldiers were wearing the red armor of the Han army, and there was a big gap between the Xuzhou army that Tao Qian saw, and more importantly, these self-proclaimed officers and soldiers were very fierce, and it was no wonder that the murderous ones would be identified as bandits.

Let go of his eyes, run back to the inner mansion to see the head of the family, and tell Xinzhong's doubts and plates, of course, in order to convince the head of the family that this is what he thinks is a bandit, he also added a little of his own thoughts, after all, since the heroes have been fighting Dong, the clothes and armor of the counties in Kanto have all changed, and these officers and soldiers outside are all the red armor and banners of the Han army, and they must be bandits.

Not necessarily. Chen Rong didn't believe the old housekeeper's words, but the old housekeeper's words were full of contradictions, if these people were really bandits, then it would be difficult to resist them with the Chen family's mansion gate, and they didn't need to go to such great lengths to deceive the mansion gate, with this time, the Chen family would have been robbed a long time ago.

"Let's go, come with me."

Soon, Chen Rong came to the front of the mansion and said, "The officers and soldiers outside, are you really under the account of Xuzhou Liu Envoy?" ”

"yes." Listening to his voice, it should be an elder, don't think that it is Chen Rong, Guan Yu said softly: "Uncle, we are indeed under the command of Xuzhou Mu, my surname is Guan Mingyu, the grass word is long, this time I came here to be entrusted by Ji Bi, the third son of the Chen family!" ”

"I don't know how Ji Bi is doing in Zheng Laoxinglin?"

Doesn't Zheng Lao know? Guan Yu hesitated and said, "Chen Jiao is doing well, but he has already gone to Langya." ”

Chen Jiao's current location is not in Xuzhou, and the old man nodded and said, "Open the door!" ”

The door of the Chen family opened in a rattling sound, and the dragoon army was about to rush in but was stopped by Guan Yu waving his hand, and the only son entered the house, which is the case, the family in the Chen family's mansion was like a great enemy, but Guan Yu looked calm, and said with a smile: "I came from Xuzhou under the entrustment of Ji Bi, the third son of the Chen family, and I have important matters to discuss, I don't know which one is the head of the Chen family?" ”

"The old man is!" Chen Rong returned the salute, but he was always puzzled in his heart, although he and Liu Lan did not have any friendship, but Guan Yu's name was still known, he didn't believe that his son could drive Guan Yu as soon as he entered Xuzhou, so the so-called entrustment by Ji Bi was false, but it was completely true to discuss important matters.

"Old Master Chen, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?"

After all, Chen Rong has been an official for many years, although he has always been teaching and educating people, but as soon as he heard Guan Yu's words, he completely affirmed what he thought in his heart, and he wanted to ask himself for help.

"Let's talk about it in detail in the living room." Chen Rong invited Guan Yuyan into the living room, and after the two sat down, the former said, "Say, what are you doing this time?" ”

"Compared with Old Master Chen, I also heard that my lord Liu Lan is attacking Guangling on a large scale, and we were ordered to attack Jiangdu and cut off the back road of Zhenrong, so I took the liberty to come here to ask the old master to help." Guan Yu said sincerely.

Chen Rong silently bowed his head and said, "Tell me what you plan to do, right?" ”

"We want to deceive Jiangdu City, but how to do it specifically, we still need the cooperation of the old gentleman, and what we want to know most now is, what is the relationship between the old master and the Jiangdu County Order?"

"I have even friends with him, if the old man is in other places, he may not dare to boast about Haikou, but if he cheats the old man in Jiangdu County, he will still have a little bit of me, but the old man has a request."

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that."

"Guarantee the safety of my old friend, and you will not be stopped if you want to leave or stay after the city is broken."

"The old master can rest assured, my lord will only deal with Zhenrong in this battle!" (To be continued.) )
