Cao Cao sent troops to attack Pingyin in Xuzhou, and wanted to take Xuzhou in one go, but in the end, because of the long battle, the soldiers were tired and the army was unstable, so he had to withdraw his troops from Pingyin and returned to Yanzhou all the way. At the same time, Tao Qian also left Liu Bei, increased Liu Bei's soldiers by 3,000, and made him the assassin of Yuzhou, so that he could garrison Xiaopei to block Cao Cao. Here, he cleaned up a little in Pingyin, and he was not allowed to send troops to recruit Kaiyang, so he had to turn back to Tan County stupidly.

As soon as Tao Qian arrived in Tan County, he first found Chen Deng on the sickbed and asked him some questions.

At that time, Chen Deng led his troops to gather 3,000 men and horses near the left side of Tanxian County, and let the general Mi Fang lead him to Pingyin to help Tao Qian, and comforted Tao Qian with a letter, so that Tao Qian should not worry about Cao Cao's momentum, and he could resist with confidence, and Cao Cao would soon retreat. Soon after, everything developed as Chen Dengzhi expected, and it became today's trend. Of course, Tao Qian didn't understand why Chen Deng said in his words, could it be that the odds were not successful? He kept this question in his stomach, and the first thing he did when he returned to Tanxian was to ask Chen Deng about it.

When Chen Deng saw Tao Qian's hurried look, he knew that he must be asking this question, so he laughed at the moment, didn't hide it, and told Tao Qian one by one. In fact, it is very simple to say, Cao Cao came too smoothly, and everything went well. However, Cao Cao's speed in raising troops at the beginning, and because he stood on the side of 'morality' and worked hard from top to bottom, naturally there was no reason to be invincible; as for his defeat, he was also defeated in 'losing the way'. He was able to motivate his soldiers to go out with him in winter, naturally because he 'resisted the enemy', and now that the enemy is gone, he still does not give up, and he still wants to swallow the enemy in one go, which is his arrogance. If the first war is successful, but once it is consumed a little, there will definitely be problems. Problem 1: Grain and grass; Problem 2, military morale.

Actually, for these two points Cao Cao. He himself was very clear, so when he judged that these two points were not available, he decisively withdrew his troops and horses under the persuasion of his subordinates. Yes, Cao Cao is wise, and Chen Deng can perceive this matter from the perspective of outsiders, although it seems to be miraculous, in fact, there is a reason to follow, as long as the high beam is a little farther away, it is not difficult to understand the truth. Therefore, Chen Deng could guess that Cao Cao would not be difficult to hold for a long time, and naturally it was not a difficult matter, but the difficulty was just that the Tao Qian authorities were confused.

Tao Qian listened to Chen Deng's words before and after, and if he suddenly realized, he nodded and stroked his beard, thinking that he was indeed confused. The thief's front is elongated, and it is fighting in winter, which is always unfavorable, how can it last for a long time? When Tao Qian thought of this, he secretly admired Chen Deng's wisdom. At the same time, his eyes rolled and he thought of something, so he immediately asked: "By the way, since Yuan Long can guess this matter, it is not difficult to understand the reason that Cao Cao will leave an ambush halfway when he withdraws his troops." But Yuanlong, why didn't you remind me in time? ”

When Chen Deng heard him say this, he immediately laughed, shook his head and said: "Even if I guessed it, I want to persuade you with your 'sharpness' at that time, how can I listen to it?" If you don't let out this evil breath from you, even if you listen to my advice, I'm afraid that you will reproach Deng when you come back. ”

His 'sharpness' is quite polite, it just means that Tao Qian is angry when he is, or let him diarrhea. After this fire, I was afraid that I would get sick and have to scold him when I turned around. Tao Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed. He thought about it carefully, it was really such a truth, thinking that he was defeated by Cao Cao at that time, and was driven to the mainland of the East China Sea by Cao Cao. Thinking about it, even if Chen Deng came to persuade him at that time, it is estimated that he would not listen. Therefore, when Chen Deng said this at this time, he was really 'honest and not deceiving', and he was really a believer.

After Tao Qian finished laughing, he stepped forward, grabbed Chen Deng's hand, and sighed: "If Xiaopei's battle Yuan Long can go to the battlefield with a certain follower, the camera will not be defeated." Yuanlong cherishes it, and heals this Laoshizi disease as soon as possible, so that he can stay for a certain worry. When Chen Deng heard Tao Qian say this, he didn't reply immediately, but just shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that even if I am by the side of the envoy at the time, it will be difficult to reverse the situation and make you look down on you." ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he was slightly surprised, and he didn't understand why Chen Deng was so modest for a while. However, after thinking about it, he immediately understood the meaning of Chen Deng's words. Chen Deng's words were nothing more than a roundabout accusation that he should not have been confused for a while, and he arbitrarily interfered in Yanzhou affairs before the sun was opened. And it was precisely because he rashly sent troops to support Que Xuan that Xiao Pei was defeated. Come to think of it, if he hadn't had this stupid trick at the beginning, he would naturally not have to dispatch Chen Deng, as for what happened later, would it still happen?

Thinking of this, Tao Qian's face was slightly red, although he was still unhappy in his heart, but when Chen Deng said this, he knew what was wrong, and nodded to Chen Deng at the moment, and thanked Chen Deng again and again. Chen Deng didn't want to worry too much about Tao Qian in this matter, so he hurriedly turned the topic to Que Xuan. Regarding Que Xuan's matter, Tao Qian naturally thought that his 'driving the tiger and devouring the wolf' trick was quite effective, although it did not have the intended effect, and even led the fire to himself, but in the end he took advantage of this matter to clean up Que Xuan. As for what they talked about, it was naturally about the gang of Que Xuan henchmen in Xiapi City.

"You don't have to worry about this matter Yuanlong, as soon as this Que Xuan dies, there will be no one in charge of Xiapi City, and as soon as my soldiers arrive, the thieves will open the city and surrender." Hearing Tao Qian say this, Chen Deng didn't ask much. When Tao Qian said this, he sighed again, and said helplessly, "Although Que Xuan is excepted, it is a pity that he has cheapened the gang of thieves in Kaiyang City Zangba, giving them a chance to breathe." This winter, it is no longer possible to send troops, just wait for the beginning of spring next year, and the troops will open the sun! ”

Kaiyang City Zang Ba is indeed happy. He didn't expect that Kaiyang City, which was already in danger, would miraculously survive again, and because of Tao Qian's hasty retreat, he took the opportunity to get a lot of advantages. Although there are not many opportunities to give Zang Ba and them a chance to breathe, they know that even if Tao Qian does not send troops this winter, Tao Qian will definitely raise a large army to come in the spring next year, but anyway, with the peaceful days of these few months, he can finally barely make some preparations.

The battle between Kaiyang and Zuo Jin sounded like wind and rain and went like thunder, but it was completed in a hurry between two months. Since Zang Ba has temporarily gained a firm foothold, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to survive this winter, so he naturally has to report the news to Chen Nuo, who is concerned about the Kaiyang war, so that Chen Nuo can have fun. So, after this battle, the news was transmitted to Chen Nuo's ears by the scout cavalry sent by Zang Ba. Chen Nuo was in Nanpi City, and when he heard everything about this incident, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

Since Kaiyang is not in danger for the time being, he doesn't have to worry about this matter. After listening to the report of the scout, he let the scout go down first. He here, because of Tao Qian's anger with Cao Cao, couldn't help but think of Tao Qian's friendship with Cao Cao from then on, and Liu Beizhi's takeover of Xuzhou, I don't know if these things that happened in history will happen in the future. However, it is certain that Liu Bei went to Xiaopei and was listed by Tao Qian as the assassin of Yuzhou, and this matter has followed the trajectory of history and is quietly proceeding in the original direction.

Chen Nuo was thinking nonsense, not wanting to go outside, Zhao Xue didn't know when he came in. As soon as Zhao Xue came in, she saw where Chen Nuo was sitting stupidly, and she didn't know what to think, so she asked jokingly. Chen Nuo laughed, pulled Zhao Xue closer, and told Zhao Xue about the affairs of Xuzhou one by one. Zhao Xue was of course overjoyed when she heard it, and asked a few questions one after another, and Chen Nuo answered them one by one. Chen Nuo here, his eyes rolled and asked, "By the way, didn't Xue'er come from General Dian just now, why did she come here so quickly?" ”

Zhao Xue said with a smile: "Where it's fast, it's almost an hour or two." But I see that big brother, I'm afraid that your words are the opposite, and I am talking fast, but I am talking slowly, muttering that I have been gone for so long, I don't know what I said to Sister Tsing Yi, yes or no? Chen Nuo smiled and did not answer immediately, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence. Zhao Xue smiled: "Actually, I talked to my sister in Tsing Yi for so long, and I didn't want to know what happened after I went that night. ”

"Oh?" Chen Nuo looked at Zhao Xue, and Zhao Xue told Chen Nuo everything he heard from Zhu Rong Qingyi. Chen Nuo just listened carefully, but didn't interject. When Zhao Xue said that when Zhu Rong Qingyi replaced Dian Wei with his body, he deliberately glanced at Chen Nuo, hoping to see his inner thoughts from Chen Nuo's expression. It's just that she saw that Chen Nuo was so optimistic, and when she heard this section, she nodded to Zhao Xue and said: "In a desperate situation, Tsing Yi can do this, she is really a heroine among women." Zhao Xue was a little surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart: "It seems that the eldest brother doesn't have any thoughts about Sister Tsing Yi, or maybe, Sister Tsing Yi finally decided to do this, which seems to be right." ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Xue immediately looked at Chen Nuo and said slowly: "Big brother, there is one more thing." ”

"Huh?" Chen Nuo looked at Zhao Xue, smiled, stretched out his hand, patted her head gently, and said, "Xue'er, you have something to say directly, why are you still talking to me?" Zhao Xue snorted, nodded to Chen Nuo, and said, "Big brother, that's the case, Sister Tsing Yi asked me to tell you." Said she...... said that if you are a big brother, you don't dislike it, well, big brother, can you accept her as a little sister? She said that she has an older sister in red, but she just doesn't have a brother, I don't know if you want to be her ...... big brother."

When Chen Nuo heard this, he laughed and said, "I have always regarded her as a sister, why did she say this?" Since she wants to say it deliberately, it's enough, after that, I will set up three pillars of incense with her, and worship the son and call her brother and sister! ”
