As mentioned earlier, after Cao Cao withdrew Xiahou Yuan, although he secretly made an alliance with Liu Bei, he still left Zang Ba to garrison in the Pengcheng area in case of accidents.

Zang Ba was originally one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu, and even the same name as Zhang Liao, but in history, people remembered the mighty Zhang Liao because of a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but forgot the Zang Ba who had great achievements.

Cao Cao's troops were in short supply, although he left Zang Ba, but he only had more than 1,000 troops under his command, and in the face of Liu Bei at that time, he had more than enough self-preservation, and the attack was slightly insufficient.

However!

Although Zang Ba did not dare to attack easily, he often sent scouts to listen to Liu Bei's movements, so that later Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi made a big fuss in Xuzhou, he knew it clearly, and originally thought that Liu Bei would inevitably be defeated, but who would have thought that Liu Bei would miraculously survive, and even turned defeat into victory, so that the two sons of the Yuan family had no power to fight back!

Because of this, Zang Ba paid more and more attention to Liu Bei, but in recent times, Liu Bei has not moved at all, and the city gate of Xiapi City is closed every day, like a lonely city, which has aroused Zang Ba's great suspicion.

Through various ways, various methods, and his own judgment, Zang Ba thought that Liu Bei had left Xiapi at this time, so he first ordered three hundred elites to attack Xiapi, and the result can be imagined, Xiapi City had no power to fight back at all, and was easily taken by Zang Ba.

Although Zang Ba took Xiapi, he didn't dare to slack off, because Liu Bei was in the dark at this time, and he was in the light, so he strictly defended every day and ordered people to send letters to Xuchang in an urgent manner for 800 miles, and conveyed the situation to Cao Cao through Xun Yu in Xuchang.

At this time, Liu Bei had become the focus of the major princes in the late Han Dynasty, and was continuously attacked by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the two most powerful enemies, and he was able to escape, and he was not even left behind, even Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, who had tens of thousands of troops, were not able to defeat Cao Thief and Yuan Shao, and a desperate Liu Bei could do this, it is simply unimaginable!

The even more shocking news exploded again just one day later!

Liu Bei unexpectedly appeared in Qingzhou Licheng! He also killed the Licheng County Order!

What is he going to do!?

Cao Cao doesn't know! Yuan Shao is even more unclear! The major princes can't even imagine it!

Liu Bei's move is almost crazy!

But it is obvious that Liu Bei is going for Yuan Shao! Therefore, Yuan Shao was the most anxious at this time. In the front, Cao thieves chased and beat fiercely, and Liu Bei harbored evil intentions!

The so-called is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves, although Liu Bei is on Yuan Shao's territory. But it would be even more difficult to find such a person, not to mention that Yuan Shao didn't seem to have that much energy at all.

So although Liu Bei's move was crazy, Yuan Shao was helpless! The lesser of two evils, a little Liu Bei. Can't make any big waves.

*************************

On this day, Xiangyang City is extremely lively, although Liu Biao does not want to do a big job, but still can't stop the sincere heart of his subordinates and children, the state pastoral mansion is crowded, there are no people with some status, it seems that even gifts can not be given.

A newcomer like Chen Deng, with a black eye, has no identity and no documents. People who have no relationship can't even step into the door of the state pastor's mansion, and let alone meet Liu Biao, it's a pipe dream.

The state pastor's mansion, miles long, endless!

Chen Deng crossed his hands in front of his chest, stared at the State Pastoral Mansion, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and glanced at the gift box in his hand again, and couldn't help but let out a contemptuous laugh. It's like laughing at yourself.

At the moment when he turned around and was about to leave, suddenly one or two figures walked out of the side door of the state pastor's mansion in the narrow passage, but it was a strong man carrying a large frame of coarse linen clothes, taking the few bounties and leaving happily towards the depths.

Chen Deng's eyes rolled. With a snap of his fingers, he ran towards the narrow road.

"Big brother and slow!"

"The big brother in front is slow!"

As soon as the man in the coarse linen clothes turned around, he saw a well-dressed man who looked like a powerful man coming, and he was immediately startled, and he raised the pole with the thickness of the bowl horizontally to make a defensive posture. Surprised: "Who are you?" What do you call me? ”

Chen Deng stopped, smiled, showed a mouthful of bright teeth, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Big brother! The younger brother has something he wants to ask the eldest brother for. ”

The man in coarse linen clothes saw that Chen Deng was a literati who had no power to tie the chicken, and he spoke so politely, so he put away the pole and said curiously: "I am a peasant man, that is, I don't know poetry and books, and I don't know etiquette, I only know how to grow some vegetables. ”

When the man was about to turn around and leave, Chen Deng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and bowed to salute: "Big brother, don't worry, only you can help me in this matter, and others really can't help." ”

"Big brother! Is that all there are to these vegetables? ”

Chen Deng pointed to the vegetables in the frame, glanced at the man in coarse linen, and asked.

The man laughed and replied: "That's all, today's birthday of Lord Liu, they want more, this is the last trip, and there will be no more after sending it." ”

Chen Deng took out five big coins, threw them to the man in coarse linen clothes, and said, "Leave this to me!" That's enough money for your basket of vegetables and this big basket of money. ”

"Huh! Thank you. ”

The man in coarse linen took the big money, slipped under his feet, and swished around and slipped away like an arrow.

Chen Deng snorted coldly, and immediately picked up the basket of vegetables, hey! It's really heavy! After swaying all the way, I came to the side door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Deng wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a few long breaths, and after a while, someone stepped forward to open the door, and turned out a woman around thirty years old.

The food in the state pastoral mansion is really extraordinary!

"Who are you?"

The woman wondered.

"Huh! I'm here to deliver food. ”

Chen Deng pointed to the vegetable basket next to him.

The woman poked her head out and looked around, glanced back at Chen Deng, and asked, "Where is the old king?" Where did the old king go? ”

"Oh! He? ”

Chen Deng only knew that the man's surname was Wang at this time, and he silently put his head on the back of his head, and laughed: "I met him in Pingshui, and someone suddenly came on the way and told him that something was wrong at home, and he entrusted me to send this dish to the state pastor's mansion." ”

"Pingshui meeting?"

Madame was curious, and raised her tone by a few decibels.

Chen Deng blushed, knowing that this reason was a little insufficient, and reached out and took out a large coin from his waist. stepped forward and stuffed it to the lady, smiled, and said, "Actually, I am a distant relative of his, and he does have something at home." I went back first, so I was asked to bring food over. Look at this," he said, pointing to the vegetable basket beside him.

The lady immediately understood, glanced at the big money, and smiled: "Come in." ”

Chen Deng agreed. Then he picked up the pole and followed the woman in the direction of the kitchen.

Confucius said: "A gentleman is far away from cooking!" ”

As a Confucian student, Chen Deng's actions today are really hurtful! Chen Deng couldn't help but secretly despise himself.

Along the way, Chen Deng was mainly familiar with the pattern of the state pastor's mansion, and listened to the woman's introduction, and Chen Deng basically understood all the information that should be mastered.

When he arrived in the kitchen and put down the basket, Chen Deng suddenly covered his stomach with his left hand and held the door frame with his right hand, pretending to be in unbearable pain. Spit out a sentence: "No more! My stomach hurts, and I'll come when I go. ”

After all, Fei also seemed to have to flee the scene.

The woman didn't even react at all, and only Chen Deng's fleeting background was left in front of her, and she couldn't help but say: "Turn left when you go out, turn right again, don't go wrong!! ”

Chen Deng followed the ideas he had arranged in advance in his heart, and he collided with each other in a mess, and finally killed outside the main hall.

"Come on! Let's toast you again. Help adults live a long and healthy life. ”

"Come on! Come! Come! Together. ”

Hahahaha

In the main hall, the staggered and laughter continued. There are also dancing girls and singers playing music, looking happy and peaceful.

In front of him is Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, almost all the Jingzhou civil and military forces gathered here!

Ready to fly, have to send!

Chen Deng took a deep breath, and then strode towards the hall.

But as soon as he passed the temple gate, he was stopped by two guards: "Who are you?" Dare to trespass on the governor's mansion? After that, he was going to coax Chen Deng out.

Chen Deng roared angrily: "Chen Deng, the advisor under Liu Bei, the uncle of the Great Han Emperor, has come to ask to see Lord Mu Liu of Jingzhou!" ”

This roar overwhelmed the music of singing and dancing in the hall and reached Liu Biao's ears.

Uncle Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty!?

Liu Biao was stunned, Cai Mao was stunned, and his son Liu Qi was also stunned!

"Bring him up! (Knock him out!) ）”

Gongzi Liu Qi and Metropolitan Governor Cai Mao spoke almost at the same time.

The guards are there, and I don't know who to listen to!

However, Liu Biao was in the highest position, and the guards didn't know how to deal with it, which proved that the prestige of his Liu family had gradually withered, and the Cai family's limelight was a little too high.

Liu Bei suppressed his anger and said indifferently: "Bring that messenger to me!" ”

Chen Deng flicked the guards with both hands, flicked his sleeves through the middle of the two, walked into the hall, and immediately bowed and said: "Chen Deng, the uncle of the Han Emperor, under the public account of Xuande, meet Lord Liu Jingzhou, may your lord live a long and healthy life, and enjoy this peaceful and prosperous world forever." ”

Although Liu Biao is more than half a hundred years old, he is still a crane-haired childish face, with a fairy-like appearance.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Get up." You say you are Liu Bei's adviser, Chen Deng? ”

Chen Deng arched his hand: "It's exactly below." ”

Liu Biao still seemed to be a little unconvinced, and asked, "But the people of the lake and the sea, Guangling Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong?" ”

"It's like a fake!"

Cai Mao on the side was a little angry, and immediately shouted: "What kind of master there is, what kind of courtier there is!" Presumably, your master Liu Da'er is also a rude fanatic! It's unreasonable! ”

Cai Mao was right, it was the son Liu Qi, Liu Qi just looked up and laughed wildly: "Uncle Liu Huang has a courtier like you who dares to act, he is really blessed." ”

The positive and negative of the two formed a sharp contrast on this hall, and the momentum of water and fire suddenly spread.

Chen Deng just smiled silently.

Liu Biao, the first one, secretly claimed to be surprised, this person is calm and calm, he really has a Confucian demeanor, rare, rare!

"Yuanlong! Since you are a strategist under Liu Yuzhou, what is the matter with coming to my Jingzhou? Liu Bei asked indifferently.

Chen Deng said sonorously: "I came especially for the life and death of Jingzhou." ”

Although this remark was brief, it really shocked the audience, and the hall was silent.

Suddenly, there was a burst of wild laughter, and as far as the eye could see, it was the Xiangyang Kuai family, Kuailiang Kuaizirou.

Kuai Liang stood up and asked, "Your lord has been fighting continuously. Now that it is nine deaths, I can't take care of my own life and death, how can I talk about coming for my Jingzhou life and death, it's just hilarious! ”

Chen Deng is also unambiguous. If he retreated at this time, he would never have a chance, and he exclaimed, "How can a short-sighted man like you see my lord's intentions!"

Cao thief's general, Xiahoudun, led an army of 50,000. Waiting for work, I was killed by my lord with a little trick, and I lost my life in Xuzhou, and the Cao thief personally led the iron horse to fight, and I was equally divided with my lord, and there were mutual victories and defeats.

To borrow a phrase from my Lord: 'Occupation is not necessarily victory, and retreat is not defeat!' My lord has great ambitions. Covering the universe, this time I want to let the world know that the Han family is immortal, and the way of heaven still exists! ”

At this time, Cai Mao let out a cruel laugh, and couldn't help but say: "Cao Yuan is now in a fierce battle, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, then Liu Da'er has more than 1,000 troops, and he will inevitably die!" ”

Hahahaha

Chen Deng burst into laughter, mocking Cai Mao's ridiculous theory!

"When my lord entered Xuzhou, there was a small man who said that my lord would not escape death! The day when Cao Thief personally led the iron cavalry to crush Xuzhou. And another little man once said that my lord will not escape death! When the two sons of the Yuan family led a large army to besiege Xiapi, there were even more small people who said that our lord would not escape death! Today, sure enough, there is a small disciple who said that my lord will not escape death! ”

"You're looking for !! death"

Cai Mao was immediately furious and screamed. When the sword is unsheathed, the sword must be pointed at Chen Deng!

"Cai Mao! You are bold!! ”

Gongzi Liu Qi didn't show weakness, stood up on the ground, and scolded: "Don't retreat yet!" ”

Chen Deng continued: "Lord Liu! Chen Deng came here this time to convey my lord's intentions, hoping to join forces with Lord Liu to fight Cao! Jointly defend the land of the Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Biao suddenly let out a cruel laugh and couldn't help but say, "But as far as I know." Xuzhou Xiapi has been invaded by Cao thieves, so why did Liu Bei fight against Cao thieves with a certain person? ”

Of course, Chen Deng knew the overall plan of the lord Liu Bei, but he couldn't tell it all at this time, so he sold Guan Zi and said: "Occupation is not necessarily a victory, and retreat is definitely not a failure!" ”

Liu Biao can become a state pastor, especially an ignorant fool, for Chen Deng's words, of course he heard the implication, could it be that this is another plan of Liu Bei?

At this time, a small official broke into the hall and silently presented a silk letter to Liu Jingzhou.

So what is it in the letter that can make Liu Biao so convinced?

In fact, it is very simple, Liu Bei's direct entry into Qingzhou has been spread here, although the dangerous tactics of the soldiers are not very smart, but with Chen Deng's sentence 'Occupation is not necessarily a victory, and retreat is definitely not a defeat', it has become a little flavorful.

Liu Biao suddenly felt that this Liu Bei might really be able to make some big moves.

On the side, Cai Mao noticed Liu Biao's vision, and when he was about to admonish, Liu Biao waved his hand to stop it, and said to Chen Deng in the palace: "That's it!" You live in Xiangyang first, and the things should be funded by the government, this matter is very important, I have to think about it. ”

If the lord of his family can really do something earth-shattering, it is very likely that Liu Biao will agree to join forces to fight Cao, and if he dies like this, he doesn't have to offend Cao Cao because of this matter.

Of course, Chen Deng understood this, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to accept it.

For Cai Mao, he saw Liu Biao's hesitation, as long as Liu Biao did not agree to join Liu Kangcao, the little conspiracy in his heart would have a chance to succeed, everything was ready, just wait for an opportunity.

As for the son Liu Qi, he knows that although he is the eldest son, his actual power is very small, and if he can rely on a reliable external force, the situation may not turn around. Liu Bei's life of benevolence and righteousness has been spread all over the world, and he is also a member of the Han family, and he can fight with Cao Thief without winning or losing, this person is the most suitable! (To be continued.) )
