Chapter 31: Chen Deng's Scheme

Ten days later, in the afternoon, in the middle of the government.

"Ziqing, I recently heard that you personally trained the troops, how is the combat strength of the troops now?" Liu Bei sat down in the palace and asked.

"I can barely follow the troops, but the time is limited, just proficient in the formation of the queue and the flags, generals and other simple things, as for the battle to kill the enemy, it will take a period of training" Gao Ping said matter-of-factly: "But these people are young and strong, and in time, they will be able to become elites."

"Well, then it's going to be hard Ziqing and have a lot of trouble" Liu Bei nodded, in fact, Liu Bei didn't have much hope, after all, the time was too short.

"Serving the Lord is the duty of Ping, why work hard and say it directly" Gao Ping hurriedly got up and gave a light salute.

"There are no outsiders here, Ziqing doesn't have to be polite," Liu Bei waved his hand and motioned for Gao Ping to sit down.

"Xianhe, can Yide make progress in challenging Cao Bao?" Liu Bei turned his head and asked Jian Yong again.

"Returning to the lord" Jian Yong arched his hand and said: "The day before yesterday, the three generals led the troops all the way to the city of Donghai County, and then scolded the battle every day, but Cao Bao closed the city gate tightly and did not fight...... Still ......" Jian Yong wanted to speak and stopped, as if he didn't know how to explain to Liu Bei.

"What happened?" Liu Bei couldn't help frowning, and said in a slightly angry voice: "Is he drinking in the army again?" ”

"Back to the lord, not only did he drink heavily in the army, but he also beat and scolded the soldiers," Jian Yong said stiffly.

"Nonsense" Liu Bei waved his hand and waved the tea cup in front of him to the ground with a "bang", stood up and drank: "It's really dead, I told him before leaving, don't drink too much in the army, it's really a bad thing" said and kept walking back and forth, very upset.

"And the third general also let people talk, and said......" Jian Yong looked at Gao Ping without saying anything.

"What do you say, why do you spit out?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

Gao Ping also looked at Jian Yong suspiciously.

"The three generals said, the three generals said something like this: 'Let that stinky boy in Gao Ping quickly think of an idea, otherwise I will attack the East China Sea, and I will be sick every day under the sun and affected by this bird's breath." Gao Ping couldn't help but smile awkwardly and touched his nose with his right hand, and said in his heart Didn't I lie down and get shot, I thought that when I let He Man go, you wanted to rob it, but now you blame me.

"Bastard thing!" Liu Bei scolded loudly, and then said to Gao Ping kindly: "Alas! My third brother has a reckless temper, he is a rough man, Ziqing doesn't have to worry about him"

"Xianhe, the order was to let He Man go and change back to Yide, the original plan did not let him attack the East China Sea, just let him contain it, I think in a few days, these three thousand elites will be buried by him" Liu Bei said angrily.

Yes, Zhang Fei has made many mistakes in history, but it can be regarded as a late bloomer, the early stage of the Three Kingdoms has always been synonymous with bravery, until Liu Bei took Xichuan that he slightly showed his talent in thick and fine, and so on, I remember that Zhang Fei met the veteran Yan Yan when he attacked Ba County, and Yan Yan couldn't stick to it at that time, and later Zhang Fei pretended to be drunk and whipped the soldiers, and then lured Yan out of the city to take Ba County in one fell swoop, and achieved the first merit in Sichuan.

"If Ziqing is not angry, I will reprimand him when Yide comes back in the future" Liu Bei saw that Gao Ping was silent, and thought that he was secretly angry with Zhang Fei.

"Oh!" Gao Pingleng reacted for a moment and then hurriedly said: "The three generals are temperamental, how can Ping be a narrow-minded person, just now Ping suddenly thought of a plan by the actions of the three generals, or he could pacify the East China Sea in one fell swoop, but it made the lord misunderstand."

"Oh. What a clever plan," Liu Bei leaned over and asked hurriedly.

Just as Gao Ping was about to say what he thought, a guard rushed in from outside the door, panting and said loudly: "Lord Qi, Huai'an great victory, Huai'an great victory!" General Guan has already killed the enemy, Tao Ying and Zhao Yu have both died in battle, and now only a few thousand remnants of the army have fled back to Guangling."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the guard and said, "Tell me the details quickly."

"Nuo" With the report of the guards, Gao Ping and the others also roughly understood the whole process of Guan Yu's defeat of the enemy, but coincidentally, it was similar to Gao Ping's strategy.

It turned out that after setting off, Chen Deng offered advice to let Guan Yu put away the flag, and he himself lived in a simple place, blended in with the soldiers, and marched to Huai'an under the banner of Chen Deng.

After Guan Yu and Chen Deng arrived in Huai'an, in the face of the fierce Tao Ying and Zhao Yu 20,000 horses, Chen Deng led the army to fight with him and defeated three times, and then Guan Yu led people to suddenly attack the camp overnight, Tao Ying and Zhao Yu won several battles in a row, they were already arrogant, and Guan Yu broke through the camp, Tao Ying Zhao Yu fled in a hurry under the protection of the guards, Guan Yu led the troops to chase and kill all the way, Chen Deng took Huai'an to stay in the county soldiers in advance in Baimapo to intercept, Guan Yu rushed into the enemy formation and killed Zhao Yu on the spot, Tao Ying died in the chaos, this battle beheaded more than 5,000 people, surrendered more than 7,000 people, The remaining remnants of the army were defeated and fled back to Guangling in a panic under the leadership of the deputy general. Now Guan Yu and Chen Deng are advancing all the way to the south, and most of the counties along the way are opening cities and surrendering.

Chen Deng is really a civil and military all-rounder, no wonder history has such a high evaluation of him, even Cao Cao once said, "The affairs of the south are entrusted to Yuan Long", but then it seems that he died of illness before the age of forty, Gao Ping couldn't help but sigh after learning of Huai'an's victory, he must find what Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and others must take a good look at him in the future, and he can't let such a talent die young

"Chen Yuanlong's plan is exactly the same as Ziqing," Liu Bei exclaimed.

"It's gratifying" Jian Yong said with a smile: "Now that Huai'an has won a big victory, Tao Ying and Zhao Yu are dead, Guangling estimates that the soldiers can recover without blood, congratulations to the lord."

"Alas!" Liu Bei suddenly sighed deeply and said: "My original intention was just to defeat the two sons of the Tao family and move them to Xuzhou City to be a rich man, in order to repay the kindness of the Tao Mansion, I don't want to make people, Tao Ying actually died in the chaos."

Chen Yuanlong, what you think is really far-reaching, it is very likely that Tao Ying, Zhao Yu and others were killed on the spot by Guan Erye, but you only reported Zhao Yu, because you were afraid that Guan Yu killed Tao Ying and affected Liu Bei's rule in Xuzhou. Gao Ping secretly thought that it seemed that he would have to learn more from the ancients in the future, and he just had a little more historical knowledge than others.

"Now that Guangling is no longer worried, Ziqing just said that he thought of a strategy to break the enemy, and he didn't know what the plan would be?" Jian Yong suddenly remembered Gao Ping's words just now and asked.

"My lord, you can be so ...... so"

"Hahaha" Liu Bei laughed heartily after hearing this: "You kid is good at calculating people, you calculated me once, and this time you came to calculate Yide again"

"Hehe" Gao Ping touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Look at the heavens, the lord is unhappy, and he won't settle old accounts with you" Jian Yong was also in a good mood after listening to Gao Ping's strategy, and also quipped.

"Oh" Gao Ping looked at Jian Yong playfully and said, "Then it's you next time."

"Ahh The lord is the master for me," Jian Yongda hurriedly asked Liu Bei for help.

Liu Bei saw that everyone under the tent was harmonious, his eyes were full of laughter, and he hurriedly pretended not to hear and pulled the guard, "Tell me about Yun Chang's recent situation, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much" Liu Bei said as he walked outside the door.

"Oh!" The guard was stunned and agreed to leave with Liu Bei.

"That! Hehe! This one! Look, I'm joking with you," Jian Yong rubbed his hands.

"Serving the Lord, although there is no regret in death, when the time comes to use the constitution and peace, there is no need to shirk is the way of Gao Ping's "righteousness and Ling Ran". Then he strode away without waiting for Jian Yong to talk

"You're a communiqué for personal vendetta!" Jian Yong's "roar" came from behind him.
