Wu Qiu Jian heard Liu Kuan say with such certainty that Xuzhou would be available in a few days, and asked with a confused face: "Why did the governor say this?" ”

Liu Kuan wanted to compare Liu Tong and looked at Liu Tong. Liu Tong is familiar with the history of Baimenlou and wants to show it.

Seeing Xun You, Xu Shu and others looking at him curiously, Zhengse said: "Hao Meng rebelled, Lu Bu did not dispose of the accomplice Chen Gong, it can be seen that Lu Bu was centrifuged up and down, and Lu Bu and Chen Gong must have already had a mustard, Chen Gong is Lu Bu's first strategist, since then Chen Gong's strategy is no longer used by Lu Bu, there is no Chen Gong's strategy, Lu Bu's bravery, and there is no need to worry." Chen Qi and Chen Deng in the city of Xiapi are devoted to Cao Cao, and they will hold a grudge against Lu Bu, and if they use it a little, they can be used internally, and now Lu Bu is forced by Yuan Shu and our army to shrink to Xiapi, and the terrain of Xiapi is low-lying, Yishui and Surabaya flow through, and the city of all dangers is not available in the future? ”

After hearing this, everyone stroked their palms, and Xun You sighed: "The three generations of the lord are all heroic, and the world is lucky!" ”

Xu Shu got up and saluted Liu Tong, "The son is talented, and he can't do it." ”

While he was talking, someone came to report that Lu Bu's envoy Chen Deng had arrived, Liu Kuan laughed, led the generals to greet him, and took Chen Deng's hand, "Yunlong, Yunlong, just talking about the gentleman, the gentleman will arrive!" ”

Chen Deng is a celebrity, heroic and extraordinary, and said with a smile: "Hussar general, what are you talking about me?" ”

Liu Kuan pulled Chen Deng and walked towards the big tent, "Yunlong is loyal and bright, Shen Shen has a big strategy, and the young man has the ambition to help the world and the people, how can he succumb to Lu Bu's violent and cruel people, and I hope that Yunlong will last for a long time!" ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Deng Nai Lu Bu's envoy, if he wants to withdraw with a three-inch tongue, why is the general separated?" After that, he looked at Liu Kuan and laughed.

Liu Kuan invited Chen to take a seat and said, "Yunlong is here, what do you teach me?" ”

Chen Deng said: "Lu Bu was newly defeated, his heart and gall were broken, he did not listen to Chen Gong's strategy, and defended himself, so that Chen Gong led Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou to camp outside the city, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's brave men were trapped in the city wall. Everyone under Lu Bu is now in danger, with Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng taking advantage of the opportunity, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang inside. The general captured Chen Palace and surrounded Pi, and the inside and outside should be together in a few days. ”

Liu Kuan had already made plans, and when he saw Chen Deng's addition, he was greatly relieved. "Yunlong, are you willing to discuss with someone and help the world?" Liu Kuan looked at Chen Deng with a smile.

When Chen Deng heard this, he bowed to the ground, "I wish in my life, I will meet the lord." ”

Helping Chen Deng up, Liu Kuan said: "Today, Chen Deng is ordered to be the Taishou of Guangling, and he will shoot the sun." Then he asked: "Yunlong, I heard that Mi Zhu has a sister Mi Zhen, beautiful and knowledgeable, I have a subordinate Liu Qiao, handsome and handsome, as my youngest general, can Yunlong be a matchmaker?" ”

"The lord is kind, and the Mi family will do their best to help!" Chen Deng smiled.

It is said that Chen Deng returned to Xiapi to return to Lu Bu, took Liu Kuan's words with Mi Zhu, and then left Xiapi with his family and took up the post of Guangling Taishou.

After Chen Deng took office, he rewarded and punished clearly, and emphasized politics, so that Guangling's lax government was revitalized. In order to plan an elite army to deal with Liu Kuan, he successfully defused the Xuezhou armed forces and turned them to his own use. At the same time, Chen Deng paid great attention to appeasing the people's hearts and developing production, and in less than a year, Guangling showed a thriving atmosphere. The people were deeply convinced by Chen Deng's governance, and both respected and supported him, and Chen Deng established a high prestige in the local area.

After Liu Kuan and Chen Deng left, he sent Liu Yu with heavy gifts to buy Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others.

However, Lu Bu saw that Liu Kuan and Xian Yufu were like a bamboo, fierce and unstoppable, so he wanted to surrender, Chen Gong was a disciple of the Shangqing Dynasty, and did not want to surrender to the Five Elements Gate, so he strongly objected, and said to Lu Bu: "Liu Kuan came from afar, and its momentum cannot last, if the general uses infantry and cavalry to garrison outside the city, I will lead the rest of the men and horses to close the city gate and guard it." If Liu Kuan attacks the general, I will lead the troops to attack the national army from behind; If Liu Kuan was just attacking the city, the general would come to the rescue from outside. In less than a month, the national army will run out of food and grass, and our army will be able to defeat it if it cooperates with the outside world! ”

Lü Bu went home and mentioned Chen Gong's opinion, but his wife objected, thinking that Chen Gong had ill intentions. Lu Bu was already suspicious, because of Hao Meng's rebellion, he had long been suspicious of Chen Gong, so he didn't use Chen Gong's strategy. The subordinate generals were also suspicious, and after a few battles, they lost more and won less, and they did not dare to go out of the city, so Chen Gong had to lead Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian to camp outside the city.

A month later, Liu Kuan and Xian Yufu's army surrounded Xiapi and stationed troops on a high place. Liu Kuan ordered to move away the surrounding people, the Yishui, Surabaya burst the embankment, the water flooded Xiapi, the east gate of Xiapi is higher, the east gate is not submerged, the other three gates are several feet deep. The Chen Palace camp was flooded, and Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian tied up the Chen Palace and surrendered.

Liu Kuan came to see Chen Gong, but Chen Gong faced each other coldly, and he would not surrender. Liu Kuan had no choice but to detain Chen Gong for treatment.

A few days later, Lu Bu saw that the Nationalist Army was attacking fiercely in Baimenlou, and heard that Mi Zhu had opened the east gate with his people, and the general trend had gone, so he ordered the left and right to hand over his head to Liu Kuan, and the left and right could not bear it, so he went down to the city and surrendered.

Lu Bu was tied up in front of Liu Kuan and said to Liu Kuan: "I am extremely kind to my subordinates, and it is just that they temporarily betrayed me together." ”

Liu Kuan smiled and said: "You have fornicated with the wives of several of your subordinates behind your wife's back, how can you be called kind?" ”

Lu Bu was silent, and he was afraid that he was tied too tightly and asked to be loosened, Liu Kuan said: "The tiger has to be tightened." ”

"Ye Hou gets me, I will lead the cavalry, Ye Hou will lead the infantry, and you can dominate the world!"

After Liu Tong heard this, he kicked Lu Bu down, "Is my father Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo?" Seeing that it was Liu Tong, Lu Bu didn't dare to say anything more, his head drooped, and he felt lifeless, like a dead pig.

Soon Gao Shun was brought, Gao Shun did not surrender, and Zhang Liao was already disappointed in Lu Bu, fell in love with Liu Kuan, and led the troops to surrender to Liu Kuan.

Liu Kuan appointed Zhang Liao as the backbone general and army commander, commanding Lu Bu's troops, and Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cao Xing and others were all brigade commanders.

After Liu Kuan captured Xiapi, with Zhang Liao as the vanguard, he attacked Pengcheng, and Ji Ling saw that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the National Army were menacing, and he did not dare to compete with it and retreated to Shouchun. Liu Kuandang leveled the whole territory of Xuzhou. Wu Qiu Jian was appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou, and Zhang Liao was appointed as the general of Xuzhou.

After the war, Liu Kuan hesitated how to deal with Lü Bu, but Liu Tong had already asked Dian Wei to send someone to strangle Lü Bu to death with a rope. After Lü Bu's death, Liu Kuan buried him with a marquis. and prepared to send Chen Gong and Gao Shun to Yecheng, and when Jian Yong came to Yecheng next time, he would take them to Liaodong to serve Liu Bei, so that the two would not be allowed to enter the realm of the Han Dynasty for life.

Cao Bao and others, who were under the original Tao Qian, went away with Cao Cao, and Liu Kuan learned that Wang Lang, Zhao Yu and other celebrities were still in Xuzhou, so he visited them one by one, invited them to go out of the mountain, and Chen Qi and others were appointed as county guards, and Xuzhou gradually stabilized.

But said Mi Zhu, Mi Fang brothers are Donghai County people, quite a family capital, originally served under Tao Qian, Liu Kuan into the city, appointed Mi Zhu as the salt general, Xuzhou history is the first salt production place, Huai salt world famous. After Mizhu used the method of drying salt in the salt field, Xuzhou's salt production accounted for more than half of the salt production of Dahan.

Liu Kuan used Chen Deng as the matchmaker, Chen Jue officiated the marriage, and presided over the wedding for Liu Qiao and Mi Zhen in Xiapi. Liu Qiao is the eldest son of Liu He, the grandson of the Liu family, Liu Kuan is cautious, the wedding is grand, and the Mi family is favored to crown Xuzhou, and has since become the largest family in Xuzhou.

But it is said that on the side of Chang'an, in the first year of Xingping (194), there was a great drought in Sanfu, the price of grain was expensive, and a grain was worth 500,000 yuan, and there was even an incident of cannibalism in Chang'an City.

In the second year of Xingping (195), Li Dao killed Fan Chou and attacked Guo Yan in Chang'an City. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty sent someone to reconcile, but the two refused. In order to gain the political initiative, Guo Yan conspired to kidnap Liu Xie to his military camp, but before Guo Yan could make a move, the news had leaked, and Li Wei preemptively sent troops to rob Liu Xie, the queen, the palace and the ministers. Li Dao and Guo Yan attacked each other for several months, and tens of thousands of people died, and Chang'an City almost became a ruin.

Soon after, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, under the escort of Yang Feng, the former general of Li Dao's department, and Qu Dong Cheng of the Niu Fu department, got rid of the control of Li Dao and Guo Yan, fled to Hongnong, stationed in Anyi, and then traveled eastward.
