State Pastoral Office.

Liu Xuan was handling government affairs in the study, and Jia Xu came in a hurry.

"Lord!"

Jia Xu bowed.

Liu Xuan said: "Sit! ”

After Jia Xu sat down, he said: "Your Highness, I just received news from Xuzhou that the pottery merchant has arranged for Cao Bao to lead 30,000 Danyang elites to leave Xiapi and go to meet Yuan Shu's army, and this plan has been successful. ”

Liu Xuan nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case. Now that Cao Bao has already played, Chen Deng's plan must have succeeded. This way, we can prepare our next steps. ”

Jia Xu said: "Indeed! ”

According to the plan formulated, Chen Deng acted as an internal response, and after Cao Bao was defeated, the next plan was opened.

Liu Xuan instructed: "Wenhe, pay close attention to the situation in Xuzhou and respond at any time." ”

"Yes!"

Jia Xu replied.

After a pause, Jia Xu said: "The battle in Xuzhou is very important, in addition to our attention, Cao Cao is also paying close attention. According to the news sent back by our spies, this time Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to send troops, but he was actually prodden by Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent his military advisor Xi Zhicai to Jiujiang County to meet Yuan Shu in person. It is said that Yuan Shu and Cao Cao formed an alliance, and then Yuan Shu sent an army to fight. ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, there was a solemn look on his face.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu formed an alliance.

It seems that it is really this time and that time, and now even Cao Cao and Yuan Shu have formed an alliance.

Liu Xuan said: "The alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu means that Cao Cao will definitely participate in the war in Xuzhou in this plan. Once Cao Cao moves, I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't live in peace. This time, the situation is a little complicated. ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Everything is still under control. ”

Liu Xuan said: "Carefully arranged, there can be no slightest difference in all aspects of this. ”

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded in response.

Suddenly, Liu Xuan asked, "How is the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "For now, it is still a stalemate. ”

Liu Xuan said: "This time, try to let Gongsun Chan put pressure on Yuan Shao and contain Yuan Shao's troops. As long as Yuan Shao does not move, Xu Huang's army is stationed in Beihai Kingdom, and Cao Cao's forces can also be contained. ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Jia Xu nodded, and then resigned.

……

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

The time has entered August, and it has been nearly two months since Cao Bao led the army.

On this day, Chen's house.

An attendant hurried past the study.

The attendant came to the outside of the study, knocked on the door hurriedly, and said, "Master, there is urgent news coming back." ”

"Come in!"

The old man's voice came out, and the attendant hurriedly walked in.

In the room, Chen Jue and Chen Deng sat upright.

During this period of time, Chen Jue was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, not only to be busy with the internal affairs of Xuzhou, but also to be responsible for raising grain and grass. However, Chen Qi is also used to such busyness.

On the contrary, Chen Deng is more leisurely, just paying attention to the war on the front line.

Chen Deng looked at the first attendant and asked, "Has there been a war on the front line?" ”

The attendant said: "Yes, there is the latest battle on the front line, Cao Bao led the army to fight with Ji Ling, because he was ambushed by Ji Ling, so that the 30,000 army was defeated and suffered countless losses. At the same time, Cao Bao, the general of the unified army, also died in this battle. ”

"Got it, let's go down!"

Chen Deng waved his hand, with a hint of a smile on his face.

It worked!

The plan finally succeeded.

Chen Deng looked at Chen Qi and said, "Father, Cao Bao has been defeated, and this second step of the plan has been successfully completed." Now, we can go and meet the potter. ”

Chen Qi stroked the beard under his chin and said, "Don't worry! ”

Chen Deng asked, "Why?" ”

Chen Qi grimaced and said, "Yuanlong, did a small victory overwhelm your head?" ”

"Ahh

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, and then a bright light flashed in his eyes and he understood.

At this time, the smug look on his face disappeared, and he finally regained his composure, and said: "My son saw that the plan was successful, and he got a little carried away, thank you father for mentioning it." ”

If it weren't for Chen Qi's reminder, he would have almost made a big mistake.

In today's situation, every step must be taken carefully and prudently.

There is no room for error at any step.

Chen Jue's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Where did the old man mention you?" ”

Chen Deng said: "First, from the perspective of normal channels, it should be the potter who gets the news first, after all, the spies report the first thing is to report the news to the potter, and we get the news first, that is, the more than the others." ”

"Second, we should wait for the potters to take the initiative to send someone to invite. If we rush into the state governor's mansion to visit, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the potters, but it is easy to be self-defeating. ”

Chen Deng said: "The most important point is that the plan was originally proposed by my son. The battle was lost, and the son was also responsible. So now, we have to wait for Tao Qian to inform you. ”

"Report!"

Suddenly, the butler had already arrived outside the study.

The housekeeper said: "Master, son, the state pastor has sent someone to send a message, please go there." ”

"Got it!"

Chen Jue replied, and the housekeeper retreated.

Chen Deng said: "It's such a fast speed, and the intelligence network of the potters is not weak. We have just received the news, and the potter already knows about it, and he has sent someone to inform us that our father and son are going, which is not easy. ”

Chen Qi said: "Tao Qian has been in Xuzhou for several years, and he has not done nothing. Tao Qian's accumulated heritage was naturally handed over to the pottery merchant, and it was normal for him to have a set of intelligence networks. ”

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Father, let's go, let's go to the State Pastoral Mansion." ”

"Hmm!"

Chen Jue stood up, went out of the mansion with Chen Deng, and rode straight to the state pastor's mansion in a carriage.

Entering the house, the two came to the hall.

The potter sat on the throne with a nervous look on his face. He saw Chen Qi and Chen Deng walking in, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down!" ”

Chen Qi and Chen Deng still saluted before taking their seats.

Chen Qi said: "The lord is in a hurry to recruit us, is there anything important?" ”

"Alas......"

The potter sighed lightly.

Chen Qi said: "Lord, why is this so? ”

The pottery merchant had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "This official has just received the news that Cao Bao's army was defeated and almost wiped out. Cao Bao, the general who led the army, also fell in this battle. ”

"Ahh

Chen Jue exclaimed, with a shocked look on his face.

Chen Deng was also stunned: "How is this possible, General Cao Bao commanded 30,000 elites. These 30,000 people are not ordinary soldiers, but 30,000 Danyang elites, each of whom is a first-class master. Besides, we have a detailed plan, and it is not a head-to-head confrontation with Ji Ling, how can we be defeated? ”

At this moment, Chen Deng showed a puzzled look on his face.

The potter shook his head helplessly and said, "The truth is that this battle is indeed lost. Not only defeated, but also badly defeated. After Cao Bao's defeat, my Xuzhou was in turmoil. ”
