Chapter 395: Chen Deng

The war came to an end in an instant, and under the powerful lethality of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the defense of Lu Bu's army seemed as thin as paper. Under the iron cavalry of the tiger and leopard, not a single enemy could escape. Of course, there were accidents, and the only one who escaped under the tiger and leopard riding iron horse was Gao Shun and his elite camp. After all, the strength of Gao Shun and the trapped camp is there, and it must not be easy to destroy.

However, Zhao Fei is also quite satisfied with this result. Although it did not achieve the effect of Zhao Fei capturing Gao Shun in advance, Zhao Fei was still very satisfied with being able to completely annihilate Pengcheng Lu Bu's troops. In terms of overall achievements, the Battle of Pengcheng was a great victory.

Although the battle of Pengcheng took a long time, it was worth it on the whole. Having taken such a strong city, his own losses are negligible. This is something that Zhao Fei is very happy about, after all, he won a hard bone with the smallest price.

However, Zhao Fei would not be happy with this small victory, because he knew that the next war would be even more difficult.

Because he spent so much time in Pengcheng Lang, Chen Gong made a tight defense in Xuzhou City. Although Zhao Fei didn't see it with his own eyes, Chen Gong was definitely not a person who had a false reputation, he definitely had real talent and real learning, otherwise he would definitely not have this great achievement just by relying on Lu Bu himself.

So in the face of Chen Gong, Zhao Fei had to raise his 120,000 points of vigilance. Well, then again. In order to achieve a complete victory in this crusade against Xuzhou, neither Cao Cao nor Zhao Fei spared any effort. For this war, Zhao Fei specially called Guo Jia and Jia Xu to travel with the army.

This time, with a luxurious lineup, Zhao Fei is definitely not afraid of any enemy. Even if it was Zhuge Liang who was wise and close to the demon in front of him, Zhao Fei had the confidence to defeat him, after all, one person was short and two people were long. And the people around him are not much worse than Zhuge Liang.

The army rested in Pengcheng for a few days before marching as a whole. And the next battle was very easy. Everywhere Zhao Fei went, almost all of them were people who fell in despair, but the main reason was that Chen Gong had taken away the defenders in each city early, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled.

Of course, in addition to sucking away all the young soldiers in the city, he also looted most of the grain and grass in the city. Faced with such a situation, Zhao Fei felt a headache. Obviously, this is Chen Gong's policy of imposing a strong wall and clearing the wilderness for himself.

However, judging from the current form, Chen Gong's policy is very suitable for the current form. Although, by raiding the homes of several great scholars, the grain and grass of the Cao army in Yanzhou were filled, but the matter was not fundamentally solved. In essence, Cao Jun was still short of food.

Moreover, after occupying the city, it is necessary to leave the soldiers who can be driven by the city, otherwise, if there is any accident in the city, which will affect the transportation of grain and grass, it will definitely be a very dangerous thing, and the grain and grass are not supplied in time, which will definitely greatly affect the morale of the army.

And dividing troops to defend the city, this undoubtedly consumed the overall strength of Cao's army. Just occupy such a city one city after another, I am afraid that before I reach Xuzhou City, I will have to divide thousands of people to participate in the defense of the city.

In the face of such a conspiracy, Zhao Fei could only admit it, and it can be seen that Chen Gong's resourcefulness must not be underestimated. Moreover, now that Xuzhou City has been heavily garrisoned by Chen Palace, even the internal response in Xuzhou City has no way to convey any news, which also makes Zhao Fei deeply feel that Chen Gong's resourcefulness is deep enough.

Rao is so, the war must continue, and Xuzhou must be defeated. No matter how many difficulties Chen Gong arranged for himself in Xuzhou City, Zhao Fei had to go hard, after all, Xuzhou's strategic significance to the next step was too great.

Because the next war became simpler and simpler, Zhao Fei was caught up with a lot of time spent by Lang in Pengcheng. And Cao Cao on the northern front is even more powerful, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can come to the city of Xuchang.

Cao Jun's momentum was like a bamboo, which made Lu Bu in Xuzhou City a little unable to sit still. After all, since the beginning of the war, he has lost a lot of elite soldiers. Especially when the defenders of Pengcheng were completely annihilated by Cao's army, it was even more difficult for Lu Bu to accept.

You must know that the defenders of Pengcheng are one of the very elite soldiers under their command. These soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, otherwise they would not have defended such an important city with Gaoshun. So when Lu Bu learned that Gao Shun ran back by himself, he almost didn't drag Gao Shun out and behead him.

But fortunately, Chen Gong was by Lu Bu's side, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Bu in anger, and then pleaded in every possible way, Lu Bu was relieved and spared Gao Shun's capital crime. However, the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and Gao Shun was also implicated and deprived of military power.

Faced with such a situation, Gao Shun was a little expressionless. And Lu Bu's other generals were very gloating. In particular, a few people in Lu Bu's army were even more courteous in front of Lu Bu, and their purpose was obvious, that is, the military power in Gao Shun's hands.

Seeing this picture, Chen Gong couldn't help but shake his head. In his opinion, except for Gao Shun, there are really few people under Lu Bu who can be of great use, and there was one who could enter the eyes of Chen Gong before, but he was abandoned when he was in Yanzhou.

At this time, Chen Gong regretted a little, and at this moment, he was deeply aware of what an excellent general could bring to others. As the saying goes, a soldier will be a nest of bears. Let a group of generals with wine bags and rice bags lead the troops, and bring out soldiers with wine bags and rice bags, how can such a person go to the battlefield.

After thinking about it in his heart, Chen Gong came to Lu Bu's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Lu Bu groaned for a while, then glared coldly at the surrounding generals, and then said in a cold voice: "Now that the enemy is present, you don't want to think about a good way to retreat from the enemy, but are intriguing here, what do you want to do?" ”

Listening to Lu Bu's words was so cold, the generals who surrounded Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Then, everyone resigned and left, after all, everyone didn't dare to stay any longer, who knows what Lu Bu's mood was. If one is not careful, he may die in the hands of Lu Bu.

Just after a few people left, a young man with a confident face walked towards Lu Bu. There was a hint of a smile on the young man's face, which made people feel close to him, and the young man's somewhat thin body and a Confucian robe on his body further indicated what the young man's identity was.

When Lu Bu saw the young man, his face suddenly lost the coldness he had just now, and instead showed a smile. Then, I heard Lu Bu speak: "Yuanlong, you are here." ”

"Chen Deng, see the lord." Coming to Lu Bu's side, the young man leaned over and saluted. And Lu Bu was busy stretching out his hand to help the young man, looking an unusual corporal Lixian. Obviously, this young man named Chen Deng occupies a pivotal position in Lu Bu's heart.

However, it is nothing more than Lu Bu, you must know that the Chen family to which Chen Deng belongs is a famous family in Xuzhou. He and his father Chen Gui both occupy a pivotal position in Xuzhou. Especially Chen Deng, he is quite popular in Xuzhou. In particular, he is in charge of Xuzhou's agricultural production, and he is in charge of the fact that the soldiers of a state are in charge.

Of course, in addition to this, Chen Deng is also quite resourceful. He is very knowledgeable and resourceful, and he is a rare talent.

However, the only thing that made Lu Bu feel dissatisfied was that Chen Gong seemed to be very displeased with this person. Every time Chen Deng puts forward some opinions, Chen Gong will inevitably stop them. However, this does not affect Lu Bu's reuse of Chen Deng. In fact, thinking about it from another angle, Lu Bu is very happy to see such a scene.

As a monarch, he definitely can't see a situation where one family is dominant. And now, Chen Gong has a pivotal position in his camp, which also makes Lu Bu very worried. However, no one had been able to talk to Chen Gong before, so even if Lu Bu was worried, there was not much he could do.

And now the appearance of Chen Deng is exactly the person Lu Bu is looking for who can restrain Chen Gong. Because both of them are resourceful, and although Chen Deng only followed him not long ago, he is quite prestigious in Xuzhou and can contain Chen Gong.

"Yuanlong doesn't need to be polite." Lu Bu helped Chen Deng up and said, then said, "How is the defense in the city?" ”

"Rest assured, my lord, I grew up in this Xuzhou City since I was a child, and my understanding of this Xuzhou City is definitely higher than anyone else's." Chen Deng said with a smile, but his gaze was a vague glance at Chen Gong.

Lu Bu naturally saw such a picture, he just chuckled and nodded, "With Yuanlong here, I can rest assured." ”

And Chen Gong saw Chen Deng's provocative appearance, and immediately gave Chen Deng a cold snort.

Actually, it wasn't Chen Gong who deliberately targeted Chen Deng. But Chen Gong always had a feeling in his heart, he felt that Chen Deng's respect for Lu Bu was very false. And it is precisely because of this relationship that Chen Gong is against Chen Deng everywhere. Because in the Chen Palace, Chen Deng is just a false villain.

However, what Chen Gong had to admire was that Chen Deng was indeed a person who was really talented and learned. Moreover, his mind is also very flexible, and in the face of many difficulties of his own, Chen Deng can deal with them freely, without any flaws.

And the more this is the case, the more suspicious Chen Gong is about this Chen Deng. As the saying goes, no one is at fault. Therefore, the more perfect Chen Deng's performance, the more suspicious Chen Gong was about Chen Deng. He suspected that Chen Deng was actually just respectful to Lu Bu on the surface, but in fact, he had already taken refuge in others.

If his prevarication is true, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to Xuzhou. After all, with the status of the Chen family in Xuzhou, his words can affect half of Xuzhou. If that were the case, Chen Deng would have to be eliminated.

But in the absence of real evidence, Chen Gong did not dare to move Chen Deng rashly. After all, the Chen family has a lot of power, and if it is self-defeating, it will still benefit others. At that time, instead of getting any benefit, he helped the enemy a great favor.
