Lu Bu pointed at Chen Gong angrily, unable to say a word for a long time.

And Chen Gong, the thin cheeks revealed a trace of decay, which was even more gloomy. On the yatang, a small school trembled, crawling on the ground, not even daring to breathe. On the side, Wei Xuhou Cheng and Lu Ji and others were more like stone statues, closing their eyes and saying nothing.

Instead of recapturing Quyang and capturing Haixi, he lost his subordinates.

Lu Bu couldn't figure out why such a situation occurred. Why did little Heixi become so powerful overnight?

"Who will regain the next phase with me?"

It took a long time before Lu Bu roared.

Previously, Quyang was occupied, and Wei Xu and others enthusiastically competed for the lead.

But now, Lu Bu roared for a long time, but no one stood up.

This made Lu Bu even more annoyed, and pointed to the people in the yatang, and wanted to attack...... "Lord, I am willing to go." ”

One of the generals sitting at the end stood up and intervened, "The last general is willing to lead the troops to attack and regain the next minister." ”

Lu Bu looked up, and his face couldn't help but improve a lot.

"If De Wei leads the troops, then the Cao family kid will not have to worry."

"Slow!"

Just when Lu Bu was about to give the order, Chen Gong acted to stop it.

"Prince, in the current situation, you must not act rashly.

The opponent that the lord is facing now is no longer the boy of the Cao family, but Chen Yuanlong of Guangling. If it weren't for the palace to underestimate Dekai, if the army was marched and set up for a decisive battle, Dekai would be able to defeat Chen Deng with 800 traps. However, in the current situation, Chen Yuanlong is sitting on the lower minister, and he can rely on the lower minister Jiancheng to deal with us. Trapping is longer than a field battle, not a siege, so it may not be the best strategy to attack so rashly.

Besides, Chen Yuanlong is not comparable to the Cao family.

This person is good at strategy and has the ability to distinguish between gods and ghosts. Although De Wei is calm and moderate, if he wants to win against Chen Deng, I am afraid it will not be an easy task. ”

Lu Bu was furious, "Chen Gongtai, dare to disturb our army's heart? ”

Chen Gong hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Fei Gong will increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige." Chen Deng is strategic, Chen Hanyu is even more scheming, and it is no accident that they sent troops at this time. Dewei is good at fighting and has a strategy, but it is inferior to the father and son of the Chen family...... Junhou, we have already lost two battles, if we lose another battle, I am afraid that in Picheng, everyone will be uneasy, and it will become more and more bad. ”

After that, Chen Gong apologized to Gao Shun again.

Gao Shun didn't care, but Lu Bu ordered troops just now, but no one stood up, so he stepped forward.

For Chen Deng's father and son, Gao Shun is not unaware. He knows his own advantages, and he understands the power of Chen Deng's father and son. If it is a fighting field, a decisive battle between the two armies, with proper command and improvisation, he is not afraid of ten Chen Deng. But the problem is that Chen Deng is not a general, but a strategist and a strategist. If you compare strategy and have more eyes than anyone, Gao Shun is definitely not Chen Deng's opponent.

Therefore, in the face of Chen Gong's apology, Gao Shun only smiled slightly.

At this time, Lu Bu also calmed down a lot.

"How's that to be?"

"The top priority is to repel Cao Ying first.

Chen Deng's father and son, as well as the Haixi Deng Ji Cao Peng brothers, but they are just ringworm. The one who can really threaten the prince is still that Cao Mengde. If Cao Ying is repulsed, the prestige of the prince and the prince will inevitably rise, and Xuzhou will not return to the army within a year. At that time, the prince and the prince could personally lead the troops and take down the Haixi Deng Ji brothers, Guangling Chen Deng and his son...... At that time, the prince could still dominate Xuzhou. ”

Lu Bu sat down slowly, thinking seriously about Chen Gong's words.

Indeed, what Chen Gong said is reasonable!

Compared with Cao Ying, Chen Deng's father and son, or Deng Ji's brothers, are just in the small river. And the only one who can really pose a threat to Lu Bu is Cao Ying. As soon as Cao Ying said that if he did not retreat, Chen Deng's father and son and Deng Ji's brothers would not stop. Even if they are repelled and recapture Xiaxiang and Quyang, they can still regroup and make a comeback; But if Cao Ying is defeated, the entire Guangling is bound to fall into chaos. At that time, whether it is Chen Deng or Deng Ji, won't it become a delicacy on his plate and be at his disposal?

That's right, at the moment of the great enemy, we should still concentrate our forces first to solve Cao Ying's ......" However, Wen Yuan is now blocked between Huai and Si and cannot join me. ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Although Wen Yuan was ambushed by Chen Deng on the way and was forced to retreat to Xu County, his strength was not damaged, and he still had thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. Jin can cross the Huaishui, attack Guangling, and force Chen Deng's father and son to be unable to send troops with all their strength; Retreat can capture the lower phase, cut off the connection between the lower phase and Quyang, and make the Deng Ji brothers suffer from the enemy. Zhang Wenyuan alone is enough to solve the worries of the prince and the marquis in the south, and he can go all out to fight Cao Mengde. ”

Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his angular face revealed a touch of joy.

A strategist is a strategist, and their thinking is often different from that of ordinary people. A bad thing can turn into a good thing in their eyes.

After Zhang Liao got the news, he quickly returned to the army.

I didn't want to be thirty-five miles south of Xiaxiang City, and I was blocked by Chen Deng and Cao Peng.

After a fierce battle between the two sides on the banks of the Surabaya River, Zhang Liao quickly broke away from the battlefield and led his troops back to Xu County.

Chen Deng immediately led the troops to advance to Xu County, leaving 3,000 soldiers and horses, which were handed over to Xu Xuan to command, and Cao Peng led the men and horses of the headquarters, and Xu Xuan stayed behind to put pressure on Xiapi. This is never a good thing...... However, Chen Gong improvised and gave Zhang Liao the right to make his own decisions. In this way, Zhang Liao did not necessarily have to return to the army, to the south, to the east, to the north...... The vast area between Huai and Si became the battlefield of Zhang Liao. Without moderation and without specific tasks, it was equivalent to liberating Zhang Liao at once, but throwing the problem to Chen Deng. If you storm Xu County, I will cross the river and attack Guangling; If you defend it, I'll be free to attack...... The gap between a first-class strategist and a second-rate strategist is probably like this.

At this time, Cao Peng was no longer able to intervene, and it evolved into a battle of wits between Chen Deng and Chen Gong.

As soon as Chen Deng said that if he didn't solve Zhang Liao, he would not be able to attack Xiapi with all his strength. In this way, Lu Bu can deal with Cao Ying with all his strength...... "Then how to repel Cao Mengde?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Cao thief soldiers are divided into three ways, which seem to be strong, but they are actually weak.

Although Xu Huang defeated Zang Xuangao in Taishan County, he failed to eliminate him. Zang Ba has the Taishan army under his command, and his vitality is not injured. After escaping into Mount Tai, he can borrow the terrain to drag Xu Huang's footsteps. In this way, Xu Huang will definitely fall into a bitter battle in Taishan County and will not be able to withdraw.

And Liu Bei, the dog ear of the lost family.

This person has always had great ambitions, and he will definitely not do his best to help Cao Ying. In this way, the front line of Peiguo seems to be dangerous, but in fact, there is no need to worry.

What is really dangerous is that Xiahou Yuan let the soldiers and horses go all the way.

It's just that Cao Yingxing's division is crusading, and the road is far away. Even if he hits Pengcheng, he will definitely be exhausted. The prince should take the initiative to meet the attack and garrison troops in Pengcheng. When Cao's army arrived from afar, the prince waited for work and met the head-on. In this way, Bi Neng is invincible. ”

Chen Gong's remarks made Lu Bu's heart flutter.

Chen Gong casually planned a big game of chess, and the powerful Cao Jun became vulnerable in his mouth.

In fact, what Chen Gong said was generally good.

Xu Huang descended to Zhao Shu and Li Zou, ostensibly occupying Taishan County. But in fact, Zang Ba is a native of Taishan County and has a very high reputation in the local area. The Taishan army under his command was initially just a group of bandits, and later attached to Lu Bu. It may not be possible to fight a regular war, but it can be harassed and contained, which is enough to make Xu Huang miserable. As for Liu Bei, the situation is not too good...... As Chen Gong said, Liu Bei himself is an ambitious person, and most of the soldiers and horses in his hands are old subordinates, and he has been defeated by Lu Bu many times, and he has a trace of fear for Lu Bu.

He knows how to preserve his strength, and he also knows how to survive in the cracks.

So, don't look at him having fought with Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and even Cao Ying, but in fact, he has always been able to retain some strength. If Liu Bei wants to attack Lu Bu with all his might, it is absolutely impossible. If Lu Bu is here, Liu Bei can still have a chance to breathe; If Lu Bu is really dead, then Liu Bei will also lose room for manoeuvre, or be an enemy of Cao Ying, or be attached to Cao Ying's account. As far as Liu Bei's current situation is concerned, no matter which choice he chooses, it is not the result he really wants...... Pengcheng was once the hometown of emperors.

It is known as the key to the north and the gateway to the south.

Its terrain is complex, with rivers and lakes crisscrossing it, making it an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

Chen Gong asked Lu Bu to take the initiative to attack, and with the help of the terrain of Pengcheng, he could effectively block Cao's army. Moreover, if Lu Butun soldiers Pengcheng, he can rely on Xiapi and connect Mount Tai to the east, echoing with Zang Ba and others from afar, so as to achieve the purpose of containing Cao Ying. Suffice it to say, this is a very brilliant idea. It seems very simple, but it can make full use of various factors to deal the most ferocious blow to the Cao army who came from afar.

But Lu Bu didn't agree with such a strategy.

Lu Bu rode and fought like no other in the world.

is not only his superior force, but more importantly, when he is about to fight, he can keenly capture the opponent's weakness and strike hard.

If you garrison Pengcheng, it is equivalent to giving up Lu Bu's best cavalry warfare skills.

This is somewhat unacceptable to Lu Bu.

"With Peng Cheng alone, it may be difficult to stop Cao Ying." After pondering for a while, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong: "Why don't you make Zang Ba move closer to Pengcheng, and then lure Cao Jun to go deeper." At that time, Zang Ba could take advantage of the terrain of Pengcheng to cut off the grain route of Cao thief. A certain relative led his troops and horses and drove him into Surabaya and drowned...... Gongtai, not a certain arrogance, if the decisive battle is on the battlefield, so that Cao Jun does not dare to fight, who in the world can be left and right for me? ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he was shocked.

"Princely ......"

He was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, but when he saw Lu Bu wave his hand, he stood up suddenly.

"Just act according to this plan, I want to see how Cao Mengde is my opponent."

Chen Gong closed his mouth.

He knows Lu Bu's surname too well, how stubborn he is.

Once he has decided on something, it is difficult to persuade him to change his mind.

But the problem is that if you put Cao Jun in, it may be beneficial for you to ride and fight. However, it will also have an impact on the morale of the military.

"Junhou, since the decision has been made, the palace will not say anything.

However, the palace still has a plan, and I hope that the prince and the marquis will think twice...... Yuan Shu had previously made the prince and marquis attack Liu Bei, and he had said that he echoed each other from afar. Now, there will be a military disaster in Xuzhou, why not make Yuan Shu send troops from Huainan to attack Runan? In this way, the prince can also reduce some of the pressure. ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, "Gongtai's plan is very good, I will send someone to Shouchun and ask Yuan Highway to send troops to help." ”

Chen Gong walked out of the Wenhou Mansion, only to feel a little disheartened.

Lu Bu, how innocent and evil?

"Strategist, Strategist ......"

Someone called behind him, and Chen Gong stopped and looked back.

"De Wei, is there something wrong?"

Gao Shun hurriedly came over and asked softly, "Military Division, can Yuan Highway Guo send troops?" ”

Chen Gong smiled bitterly, looked at Gao Shun, then raised his head and replied as if talking to himself: "Maybe God knows!" ”

—————————————————————————— the next phase.

Cao Peng set up a banquet in the flower hall and ordered someone to escort the surname Cao up.

The surname Cao was tied by a rope, and after entering the flower hall, he and Cao Peng looked at each other angrily, like enemies.

Cao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "General Shulong, why are you so troubled?" If you don't eat or drink like this, not only will you not help, but you will damage your body in vain. ”

Cao said angrily: "I don't speak to the ungrateful. ”

Cao Peng sighed and stepped forward to untie the rope for the surname Cao.

"Brother Cao, tell me, why am I ungrateful?"

The surname Cao said angrily: "In the past, Wen Hou treated you well, and also gave you soldiers and horses to help you gain a foothold in Haixi."

Now, you colluded with Cao Ying, wanted to destroy the surname of Wenhou, and seized the territory of Wenhou, this is not ungrateful, so what is it? ”

Syllable!

Cao Peng slapped the wine glass on the case and said sharply: "General Cao, don't forget, my father is the supervisor of the Shaofu, and my brother is the official of the imperial court."

You say that I colluded with Cao Gong, but from the beginning, my family ate the court and served the court. Cao Gong was the official of the dynasty and was an important minister of the Han family. I should obey Cao Gong's orders, but do I still have to listen to the orders of those who collude with the thieves? ”

"You ......"

"Besides, who started the sword first?

General Cao, you should have a conscience and pat your chest to speak, if it weren't for Wen Hou coveting Haixi's millions of grains and rice, and wanting to raise troops and horses to level Haixi, how could I be an enemy of Wen Hou? Could it be that if you send troops to fight me, I can only be captured? ”

The surname Cao snorted, but was speechless.

In the flower hall, there was silence.

After a long time, Cao Peng sighed and said softly: "Now, Sikong has sent troops to conquer, and the fall of Wenhou is imminent. Although Zhang Wenyuan stationed troops in Xu County, on the surface, he restrained us and others, but in fact, whether it was me or Chen Taishou, he was not afraid of General Zhang's soldiers and horses at all.

Xuzhou is broken, and even if General Zhang has great ability, he will not escape death.

I asked Brother Cao to come over today, just to tell you something...... Wen Houcheng is also brave, and defeat is also brave. Even if he is covered in iron, how many iron nails can he twist? If you are too superstitious about your bravery, you will eventually die from it...... In the past, Wen Hou and I did have kindness, and Cao Peng kept it in mind and did not forget it. But when things have developed to today's situation, I am afraid that no one can save the fate of Wen Hou. There are only two of you and me here, and I am not afraid of being with Brother Cao, I want to have the blood of Wenhou. ”

The surname Cao raised his head and stared at Cao Peng.

"It's just that this matter must be considered in the long run.

If the city is broken, where should the Wenhou family go? I respect Wen Hou is the brave general of the world, so I risk dying from your consultation, I don't know Brother Cao, can you help me? ”

The surname Cao was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice: "Cao Youxue, what do you want?" ”
