Chapter 227: Heaven and Earth
Coming out of Lu Bu's mansion, as soon as he got into the carriage, Chen Qi couldn't hold it back, and couldn't stop complaining about Chen Deng: "My son, what happened just now? Why do you support Chen Gong instead? ”
Chen Deng said: "Father, do you think Lu Bu will send troops?" ”
Chen Jue said: "Lu Bu has always trusted Chen Gong, and most of them will send troops in the end. ”
"That's it." Chen Gong said, "Since the final result is already doomed, why bother to stop it? Wouldn't it be better to follow Chen Gong's intentions to win Lu Bu's trust? ”
Chen Qi said: "But Lu Bu really wants to send troops to attack Xuchang, and Cao Gong is afraid that there will be big trouble." ”
Chen Deng said: "That's why the child suggested that Lu Bu should not be recruited in person, as long as Lu Bu does not go in person, it will be fine." ”
Although Lu Bu has been addicted to wine and his martial arts have been abandoned in recent years, even so, Lu Bu is still one of the best fierce generals in the world, but all fierce generals can greatly encourage the fighting spirit and confidence of the soldiers under his command, so the effect of Lu Bu personally and sending the generals to lead the troops is completely different.
Chen Qi said: "There are also Zhang Liao Zangba and Gao Shun under Lu Bu's command, these three are all talented generals, even if Lu Bu does not go in person, just choose one of these three people to lead the troops, I am afraid it is not a good thing." ”
Chen Deng said: "Tibetan tyrant is an old general in Xuzhou, he has never been trusted by Lu Bu, Gao Shun is upright by nature, and has repeatedly committed Yan admonishment Lu Bu, and now he has been marginalized in the Xiliang army, as for Zhang Liao, he is Lu Bu's most trusted general, without Gao Shun sitting in Xiaopei as a barrier, Lu Bu is afraid that he will not sleep peacefully at night." ”
Chen Qi was silent, because he knew that what Chen Deng said made sense.
Although Lu Bu is friendly on the surface, he does not trust the wealthy family in Xuzhou in his bones. He ordered Zhang Liao to garrison Xiaopei. Not only to reject Xiahou Yuan. It is even more vigilant that in case there is a change, for example, when the family in Xuzhou colludes with Liu Bei to make a rebellion, Zhang Liao can return to his division and put down the rebellion in the shortest possible time.
Chen Deng said: "As a result, my father also saw it, and the child proposed that Lu Bu should not go in person, but he fell into Lu Bu's arms, and Lu Bu really chose Hou to become the general of the unification, although Hou Cheng is also a strong general, and he is especially good at riding battles." But not to mention Zhang Liao, even compared with Gao Shun and Zangba, it is far inferior, not to mention, Hou Cheng still has a fatal weakness. ”
"Hou Cheng's weakness?" Chen Qi said, "My son, how do you know Hou Cheng's weakness? ”
Chen Deng said: "Father still remembers that two months ago, an uncle of my family came to complain to my father, saying that the Xiliang army wanted to forcibly seize the manor and extort property. His father persuaded him to destroy his wealth and eliminate disasters and settle things? ”
"How don't you remember. There is obviously someone standing behind that group of Xiliang Army, and we can't afford to offend. After Chen Qi finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and asked Chen Deng, "What?" ”
Chen Deng said hesitantly: "Yes, the child secretly sent someone to check afterwards, and the Xiliang Army was instructed by Hou Cheng, do you guess why Hou Cheng wanted to forcibly seize the manor of his uncle?" In order to settle his outer house, this dog thing, I can really enjoy it, and in just two years in Xuzhou, I married a three-room concubine! ”
Chen Qi somewhat understood Chen Deng's plan, and said, "My son, do you mean to send money to a beauty, buy Hou Cheng, and make him deliberately delay the trip?" ”
"Delayed trips? No. Chen Deng shook his head and said, "Father, you are still too conservative, but the child has a bold plan for this matter. ”
Chen Qi asked, "What plan?" ”
Chen Deng said: "Let's talk about it when we go back." ”
(Dividing Line)
Xincai County, Da Lu Ting.
A chase battle is being staged, chasing Cao Jun, and naturally running Yuan Jun, Yuan Jun has about 2,000 people, most of them are foot soldiers, in addition to more than 500 cavalry.
That's right, the more than 2,000 Yuan troops are the elite led by Yuan Wei himself.
At present, Cao Jun has opened a net in the entire Runan County, and it is certainly not easy for Yuan Jun to break through.
For this reason, Yuan Que deliberately divided the 8,000 army into three routes, breaking through separately, one of which was led by Ji Ling Yang Hong, one route was led by Liang Gang Liu Ye, and the third road was led by Yuan Que himself.
Due to the existence of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Yuan Wei naturally received the attention of Cao Jun along the way.
When the Yuan army came out of the mountains and began to march on the official road, more than a dozen Cao troops flocked from nearby counties in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Yuan army, but the Cao army's familiarity with the terrain was far less than that of the Yuan army with the Runan mountain bandits as guides.
However, when he arrived at Da Lu Ting, the situation began to turn in Cao Jun's favor.
Because Xincai County was originally controlled by Cao Jun, Cao Jun was also familiar with the terrain of Xincai County, and the terrain around Xincai County was relatively open, and it was difficult for Yuan Jun to use the favorable terrain such as deep mountains and dense forests to get rid of Cao Jun.
At this time, Cao Cao's car had also arrived in Geling County, not far north of Da Lu Ting.
In the big tent, Xun You was introducing the latest developments of the Cao army to Cao Cao: "My lord, please see, General Yu Ban's 2,000 elite soldiers have arrived at the Qinglin Ferry fifty miles northeast of Da Lu Ting, General Che Xuan's 2,000 elite soldiers have arrived at the estuary, General Zhu Ming's 2,000 elite soldiers have also locked Maoshan Dock, and the major general's tiger and leopard cavalry have also arrived in Xincai County." ”
After a pause, Xun You said again: "Coupled with the garrisons that were previously arranged in various passes and water and land points, the blockade line that our army has pulled up around Da Lu Pavilion is no less than a net of heaven and earth!" ”
Cao Cao set his eyes on Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, do you think our big net can catch Yuan?" ”
Previously, Yuan Wei sacrificed Peng Yue's tactics of scratching Chu, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were helpless, although Jia Xu offered countermeasures, but he also did not think that his countermeasures could be effective, because as long as Yuan Nuo hid in the mountains and did not move, the net laid by Cao Jun in Runan would be self-defeating, but only Guo Jiali overrode public opinion and insisted on persuading Cao Cao to open the net.
Facts have proved that Guo Jia's judgment is completely correct, Yuan No is not determined to fight him to the death in Runan, when his 150,000 army opened a big net in Runan, Yuan No immediately had the idea of going, this time, it was in his arms, because what he was most afraid of was that Yuan No would confront him and fight for consumption.
So now Cao Cao really wants to hear Guo Jia say, can Cao Jun's big net net net net Yuan or not?
Guo Jia shook his head unexpectedly and said, "Ten are **." ”
"Ten haves?" Cao Cao said, "So, does Yuan still have a chance to escape?" ”
Guo Jia said indifferently: "Soldiers, treacherous, before the final result comes out, who dares to say that they will win?" ”
"Yes." Cao Cao said, "But it's me, speaking of which, it's also that Yuan Shao'er's growth is too amazing, I can't even imagine what will happen if Yuan Xiao'er is allowed to successfully break through to the north and get under Yuan Shao's account?" ”
"That must be terrible!" Xun You continued, "Yuan Shao has always been stubborn and self-serving, and cronyism, the more Yuan Wei performs well, the more he is afraid that he will be reused by Yuan Shao when he arrives in Jizhou, and others may also be able to use the anti-plot to divide the relationship between uncle and nephew, but for Yuan Shao, the anti-intermediary scheme can only be counterproductive." ”
"I believe it." Cao Cao thought so, and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Shao is jealous on the outside and on the inside, but he is jealous of outsiders, but he trusts his relatives!" Let's just say that his nephew Gao Gan has a straw bag, but he has repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks, hehe, Gao Gan is now Bohai Taishou, Bohai is Yuan Shao's lair. ”
Cheng Yu also continued: "The greatest possibility, Yuan Shao will be appointed by Yuan Shao to assassinate the history of the state, so as to conquest Zhang Yang, with Yuan No's ability, it can be said that it is effortless to destroy Zhang Yang, at that time, Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou, Yuan is in Bingzhou, for Yuan Shao's wings, once Yuan Shao exterminates Gongsun Zan and raises troops south, then Yuan Tan and Yuan will inevitably raise troops at the same time, so the major event will be suspended." ”
Cao Cao was also shocked by Xun Yu Chengyu's words, and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, at all costs, Yuan Wei Xiao'er will be killed in Runan, and he will never be allowed to grow up, let alone let him be put under Yuan Shao's command, otherwise, we will die and have no place to bury." ”
