"Is the message certain? Is it true that someone saw Chen Sheng's banner, the army? ”

Chen Jiao couldn't help but ask.

The news is very correct, the Tanma in front did see Chen Sheng's banner, the army, as well as the banners of "Liao", "Zhou" and so on. And the size of the army was about 30,000. ”

Lying about the military situation will be beheaded, the knight hurriedly said when he heard this.

"Yes, yes. Chen Sheng's participation was extremely unfavorable to Cao Gong's plan to seize Xuzhou, and our army was the first to bear the brunt. If it's Yuan Shu's army, we can defeat him. If it is Chen Sheng's army, we can barely maneuver around and wait for Cao Gong's reinforcements. Now that the two of us are united, we will not be able to resist it. ”

Chen Jiaoyan's face turned pale a little more when he heard this, and he even shouted badly, but he lost his square inch.

Chen Jiao lost his square inch and unconsciously analyzed. But the knight in front of him was frightened, and finally the knight couldn't help but ask: "My lord, is it really impossible to resist the alliance of Chen Sheng and Yuan Shu?" ”

Chen Jiao woke up in shock when he heard this, and then looked at the knight's worried expression, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and said secretly, "It doesn't matter if I lose an inch, if the army loses an inch, it will be bad." But don't let my mouth convey this unfavorable situation to the army. ”

Thinking about it, Chen Jiao immediately remedied: "But it's my short-mindedness that I can't resist." But the Ming Mansion is ten times more intelligent than me, and there will definitely be a solution. ”

Chen Jiao's remedy made the knight's heart settle down a lot. Chen Deng's prestige and ability have this effect, which is very trusting.

"I believe that the Ming Mansion will definitely be able to defeat any enemy, even if the other party is that Chen Sheng." The knight nodded firmly and said.

"That's what you should have in faith." Chen Jiao nodded heavily and said. After a pause, Chen Jiao warned again: "In addition, don't spread what I said just now. Although we all believe in the ability of the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that everyone believes in it. If my words cause a panic, then we can't hold it to blame. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't reveal a word." Hearing this, the knight nodded fiercely and said.

"Okay, let's go down. Let me go and report to the Ming Mansion. Seeing this, Chen Jiao completely relieved his heart and opened his mouth to say.

"No." The knight said yes, turned and walked out.

"It's really prestigious, and people don't dare to take it lightly. The word Chen Sheng not only made me lose my square inch, but also almost messed up the morale of the army. If the army is in turmoil, there is really no chance of victory. After the knight left, Chen Jiao wiped his forehead slightly, and said with palpitations.

But because of what happened just now, Chen Jiao was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Whew." Immediately, Chen Jiao breathed the air again and again, calmed down a little, and after the palpitations passed, Chen Jiao got up and walked out of the tent and went to the Chinese army tent next to him.

The so-called big tent of the Chinese army is actually no different from the general general's tent. Not only is it not huge, but it is also slightly pocket-sized, not only the layout is simple, but it also echoes Chen Deng's honest surname, because it is only a county too guarded, so there are few attendees.

When Chen Jiao entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Deng was looking at it with a bamboo slip, very devoted. Chen Deng's appearance in his thirties, white and clean, looks elegant.

There is no so-called civil and military courage, and it is brave and strategic. However, some heroes are introverted, and only those who know Chen Deng know how strong Chen Deng's courage is.

"Mingfu is really a person who loves books, even if he is in the military, he can't let go of the book, and he is a model for his generation." Chen Jiao, who saw this scene, let out a sigh of admiration.

What he had just said to the knight was entirely sincere. Because, he thinks that Chen Deng's intelligence is indeed higher than him.

Especially with soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to be ten times more courageous.

The reason why Chen Jiao avoided Sun Ce and served as a gongcao in Guangling County was not only because of his attachment to the north, but also because of Chen Deng's courtesy and admiration for Chen Deng himself.

"Ji Bi, but what happened?" Chen Deng found Ji Bi walking in, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and asked.

Chen Jiao woke up when he heard this, and remembered the matter of Chen Sheng and Yuan Shu's union, so he took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression: "Ming Mansion, but there is news from the south." But the scale of Yuan Shu's army is beyond imagination. ”

Chen Jiao is not selling Guanzi, but wants to have a buffer, so that Chen Deng can accept the news of Yuan Shu and Chen Sheng's union. But to Chen Jiao's surprise, after Chen Deng heard the news, he sighed and was silent for a moment before saying, "Chen Sheng has sent troops, right?" ”

"Ming Mansion expected it?" Chen Jiao was distracted for a moment when he heard this, and then he said excitedly: "Since the Ming Mansion has already expected it, why don't you ask Cao Gong for help?" If you borrow 10,000 cavalry, you can definitely stop Chen Sheng. ”

"I'm vaguely worried, after all, Chen Sheng has a grudge with Cao Gong, Cao Gong is proud, it must be Chen Sheng's frustration. Therefore, Chen Sheng will not make Cao Gong proud, so it is very likely that he will join this war. But I didn't expect that Yuan Shu would actually support and approve of Chen Sheng's actions like this. I would have thought that Yuan Shu would resist and Chen Sheng would march into Huainan. In this way, there will be a buffer, which will free up time for Cao Gong. As for borrowing troops from Cao Gong, it is absolutely unacceptable, because Lu Bu is also a tiger and wolf, and he should not be underestimated. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Deng smiled bitterly and said, "And I didn't expect that Yuan Shu would unite with Chen Sheng." This is just so unexpected, is that guy crazy? However, this is also to answer a doubt, because of Chen Sheng's existence, Yuan Shu will use the plan to kill Lei Shu, Chen Lan, and further elite soldiers. This is not something that Yuan Shu can do, someone must teach it. I should have expected all this a long time ago. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

"Mingfu is also wrong." Chen Jiao said a little decadently when he heard this.

Now that the army is pressing, Chen Sheng and Yuan Shu have joined forces, but they are wrong, how should this be.

"Not only that, but the unfavorable situation will spread." Chen Deng smiled bitterly again and said.

"Ming Fu is saying." Chen Jiao also had a hunch, and said helplessly.

"That's right, Zang Ba was hesitating, but since Chen Sheng has sent troops, then it will not be only Zang Ba, with Chen Sheng joining, Zang Ba will definitely blempty and shout. Although it did not play a big role, it could also separate part of Cao Gong's energy and give Pengcheng Lu Bu an uplift. The war will be more difficult. ”

Chen Deng nodded and confirmed.

"So what to do?" Now Chen Jiao was really a little frightened and asked.

"Someone." Chen Deng did not hesitate when he heard this, opened his mouth and exhaled outside the big tent.

"Mingfu." Immediately, a soldier walked in and saluted.

"Immediately send three batches of fast horses to report to Cao Gong, and say that Yuan Shu and Chen Sheng will join forces to attack the Huai River." Chen Deng commanded.

"No." When the soldiers heard this, their expressions were suddenly awe-inspiring, and they promised.

"Mingfu, don't you ask for support?" After the soldiers left, Chen Jiao couldn't help but ask.

"With Cao Gong's wisdom, as long as the news spreads, Cao Gong will find a way, and asking for support will add to the problem." Chen Deng said with a smile.

Chen Deng actually laughed. Chen Jiao sincerely admired Chen Deng's calmness, but the matter still had to be solved, and he said helplessly: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Since Chen Sheng has joined, then we can't prevent the entire Huaihe. At present, we can only hoard food and guard the camp to see what will happen. ”

Chen Deng said.

"Isn't this a dead end?" Chen Jiaoyan was surprised when he heard this.

"It's not a dead end, as long as we hold the camp, it will involve Chen Sheng's march road, after all, if Chen Bing abandons us and goes to Xuzhou, the rear grain road will be in danger. In this way, Chen Sheng must besiege us and uproot us. In this way, Chen Sheng's energy can be involved, so that he can wait for Cao Gong to rescue, or wait for Cao Gong to break Lu Bu, and then rescue. In short, stick to the camp and don't let Chen Sheng succeed. ”

Chen Deng's expression was unusually firm, and his determination was unusually huge.

Chen Deng has made a huge sacrifice, is he loyal to Cao Ying? No, Chen Deng is loyal to the country, the society, and the people.

And today, there are endless chaos and wars, and Cao Ying's battle is rising, stabilizing the Central Plains, and having the spirit of a hegemon. Chen Deng believes that those who can calm the world must be Cao Ying.

Although the rest of Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Chen Sheng and others have the ability, they are afraid that they are just chaotic ministers and thieves. Cholera is a world of people who make the world constantly war-torn.

Yes, for Cao Ying, that is, for the rapid stability of the world, Chen Deng can sacrifice his life and forget about death. This is Chen Deng.

Speaking of which, I have to admire Liu Bei. In Liu Bei's eyes, Chen Dengnai is a virtuous talent only in ancient times, not only civil and military, but also too ordinary.

also has a heart that worries about the country and the people.

He is a true loyal minister of China and an honest talent.

And Chen Deng's words are not obvious, but Chen Jiao can feel Chen Deng's determination and lofty ambitions. Therefore, after listening to Chen Deng's words, Chen Jiao quickly changed his psychology.

From apprehension to apprehension, it turned into blood boiling.

"Wancheng Chen Sheng, a heroic man, is admirable. But in the world, they are just rebellious ministers and thieves, and people who increase cholera. On the contrary, Cao Gong is a man who calms down the troubled times. Mingfu is right, stick to the camp. We must stop Chen Sheng. Chen Jiao made up his mind and said loudly.

"Ji Bi is really a national scholar." Chen Deng was also amazed by Chen Jiao's determination when he heard this, and said.

"I don't dare to be a national soldier, I'm just a dead soldier." Chen Jiao said.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's a national soldier or a dead soldier. Blocking Chen Sheng's determination was right. Chen Deng saw that Chen Jiao was modest and said with a smile.

"Let's go, gather the army, and hold the camp. So that Chen Sheng knows, I, Guangling Chen Deng, should not be underestimated. Immediately, Chen Deng got up and said very majestically.

"No." Chen Jiao was strong and strong, so he responded to the promise.

Immediately, Chen Deng and Chen Jiao went out of the Chinese army's tent together and gathered the army. (To be continued.) )
