Chapter 120: Raising a thief is self-respecting
Lu Bu received the battle report and was very disappointed with Chen Deng, he originally wanted Chen Deng to contain Sun Ce in Guangling, so that he would not be attacked by Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, but he did not expect Chen Deng's chariot to claim tens of thousands of troops, so useless, and the whole army would be wiped out in a few days.

"The herald ordered the materials and people to be transferred from Huailing to Tutang as soon as possible." The only thing that made Lü Bu happy was that Tu Tangling suddenly saw Lü Bu's army arrive, and hurriedly opened the city to surrender, Zhang Liao attacked the city less, and bought a lot of time for Lü Bu to transfer supplies. Zang Ba carried out guerrilla tactics in the Tutang area, harassing Ji Lingjun who wanted to block Lu Bu's delivery of supplies, so that Lu Bu would not lose everything.
"Call Chen Ang." Lu Bu instructed the soldiers beside him: "Forget it, just ask him to go to the county office and wait for me." ”
Lu Bu didn't want Chen Ang to know too much about the military, let alone let Chen Ang know about the existence of stirrups and saddles, he had been training the archery battalion to stand in a military posture for the past few days: "Wei Yue and Xiao Xiong are out of the ranks, and they will supervise the brothers well." I will take care of military affairs, and if anyone is lazy and slippery, the military stick will be served. ”
Lu Bu moved his sore legs, although he was digitized, he still had a burst of mental fatigue. In the past few days, the soldier has stood on the platform for as long as he wants. Lu Bu walked through the soldier formation below, and while walking towards the county office, he corrected some soldiers who were not in place.
Chen Ang heard that Lu Bu had something to see, so he hurriedly ran to the gate of the county government to wait, and when he saw Lu Bu coming, he shouted from afar: "Lord." ”
"Hmm. I heard that Chen Deng was defeated, I have something to ask you. Lu Bu said to Chen Ang as he walked.
"The lord wants me to go and say that he will descend to him?" Chen Ang said with a bitter face.
"No, I have an undying enmity with Chen Deng, how can he serve me." Even if Chen Deng knelt down and begged Lu Bu, Lu Bu didn't dare to use him: "You go and invite him to Huailing City." ”
"He won't kill me yet!" Chen Ang's face turned pale.
"It's not that serious. I just asked you to send him a letter, and I will give him Huailing City, and at the same time I will leave enough food and grass and soldiers in the city for him to defend the city, as well as weapons such as bows and arrows. Chen Ang thought that Lu Bu was crazy, otherwise why would Lu Bu give such a big city to the enemy, and leave their respective materials for Chen Deng to defend the city.
"Can the lord go to someone else?" Chen Ang was very afraid of death.
"Chen Deng will not embarrass you for the sake of Huailing City, let alone ask for your life, don't worry."
Chen Ang saw that Lu Bu's expression was very serious, and said desperately: "If I don't come back, please take care of my wife." ”
Lu Bu was full of black lines: "I guarantee that you will not worry about your life, Chen Deng is a smart person and understands what I mean, so I will not embarrass you." ”
Lu Bu sent the tearful Chen Ang out of the city and looked for Chen Deng. The scout sent back the news that Chen Deng was luring an army from Jiangdong to Huailing, where there were many Jiangdong soldiers, Chen Deng should be there, and it was very easy to find him. Lu Bu returned to the archery camp and said to Wei Yue first: "You go to the coolie camp and count out three thousand children of the great clans and private soldiers who are hostile to our army. ”
For the sake of Chen Deng, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and made another bet on him. It should not be difficult for Chen Dengzhi to hold Huailing City with sufficient materials for ten days and a half, he only needs to hold it for ten days and a half months, once Cao Cao knows that Xuzhou is in danger, he will definitely send important people to protect Xuzhou, it is very likely that it is Liu Bei. The current situation is dangerous, and he can't guess what Sun Ce will do next, so he can only take the lead in taking precautions.
If history hadn't changed, Liu Bei should have signed the edict at this time, but Lu Bu didn't want to tell Cao Cao and borrowed Cao Cao's hand to kill Liu Bei. Once this matter is exposed, Cao Cao will not be able to go south to Xuzhou in a short period of time, and if Sun Ce is not contained, Lu Bu will be restrained by Sun Ce, and he can only let Liu Bei be free from Cao Cao's law.
Lu Bu retracted his thoughts and said loudly: "Today is to test the results of your training in the past few days. The general heard that Sun Ce had torn up the alliance for no reason, and had sent a large army to our Huailing, intending to take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to seize our city. ”
Lu Bucai didn't care what Sun Ce wanted, and put the charge on his head first. If you want Chen Deng to guard the rear for him and prevent Sun Ce from crossing the river to attack Tu Tang, you have to suppress Sun Ce again and give Chen Deng time to arm his defenses.
Lu Bu raised his voice: "What do you say!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
A thousand people shouted in anger.
"Good! Ben will fight alongside you. Lu Bu reconciled the common hatred of the soldiers, and then, according to the instructions of these days, each soldier quickly equipped the horses that had been assigned to them with saddle stirrups.
Lu Bu asked each soldier to carry two pots of arrows, that is, forty, and he went out this time not to kill the Jiangdong army, but to train the soldiers of the archery battalion while demoralizing the Jiangdong army. The soldiers of the archery battalion had no experience of fighting on horseback, let alone shooting arrows on running horses. Just pull it out and practice archery with a live target.
"Newspaper. A letter came from Sun Ce, the general of the captivity. Lu Bu was still explaining how much food the soldiers carried, and a soldier stood outside the camp and said loudly.
Lu Bu opened Sun Ce's letter, swept it at a glance, and kicked the bamboo slip away: "Crappy excuse." Send a message to Sun Ce and ask him to send someone to search the city. ”
Lu Bu was too lazy to bother, so instead of going out to find Sun Ce's army, it was better to let Sun Ce send it.
Chen Ang didn't need to inquire deliberately, as soon as he came out of Sheyang City, he could occasionally run into the scattered Cao soldiers, he was escorted all the way to the east by the soldiers sent by Lu Bu to escort him, Chen Ang silently begged in his heart not to touch Chen Deng.
"Stop!" Chen Ang was shocked to see a group of Jiangdong soldiers coming.
"Master Jun, I am Bo Chen Ang, the lord under General Zuo Lu Fengxian, and I am the envoy to Dongyang to capture General Sun Bofu." Chen Ang saw that he was a Jiangdong soldier, so he was relieved. According to Lu Bu's explanation, when he met Jiangdong soldiers, he used this excuse to prevaricate.
"Do you see the traitor Chen Deng?" It turned out that this group of Jiangdong soldiers was led all the way to Huailing by Chen Deng.
"No, Chen Deng's thief has an enmity with my lord, how could he come to my Huailing City!" Chen Ang argued.
"Let's go over. Don't blame General Ben for not reminding you that the Chen Deng thief was hiding in the mountains, don't be caught by the Chen Deng thief before he saw my father-in-law. A lieutenant who came out of the Jiangdong soldiers kindly reminded. Lu Bu and Sun Ce had an alliance relationship on the surface, and the bosses on both sides looked like they were separated, and the soldiers below still believed in this alliance very much.
God is always playing tricks on people. Chen Ang and his party traveled less than thirty miles before they were caught by a group of dirty bandits and escorted to the mountains.
"Chen Ang!" Chen Ang was taken aback, and saw a man standing on a large rock, dressed in very tattered clothes and covered with thick soil, and there was no trace of arrogance in his appearance, but this familiar voice made Chen Ang almost lose his soul.
"Big brother?" Chen Ang's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground, not daring to look directly at Chen Deng, who gritted his teeth and wanted to devour him alive.
Chen Deng looked at Chen Ang, his eyes were bloody, and tears couldn't stop flowing down: "Chen Ang, you still have the face to see me!" You ruined my family, separated my wife, and gave away my huge Guangling! ”
"Big brother, I'm afraid of my father-in-law's methods, you know, I've been timid since I was a child, I just want to live safely." Chen Ang crawled on the ground and stepped forward to hug Chen Deng's legs.
"Get out of here!" Chen Deng kicked Chen Ang away with a kick and slapped his trousers vigorously: "You traitor to the Chen family, get away!" ”
