Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they regarded it as Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school. Chen Deng said unhurriedly: "Cao Cao came with hatred this time, and he wanted to do his best to the people of Xuzhou. In the following opinion, Tao envoy Jun must not be lightly involved, the people of Xuzhou feel the kindness of the public, and will repay the envoy with a death, even if Cao Bing is fierce, Xuzhou City is temporarily unharmed. If you want to retreat from Cao Bing, it is not difficult, Liu Ze of the plain is a hero of the world, helping the poor and helping the poor, eliminating violence and peace, a certain person is willing to go to the plain in person, begging him to send troops to rescue, and Xuzhou will be saved. ”

Tao Qian was slightly pleased and said: "I have also heard of the name of Runde Gong, breaking the yellow scarf to ask Dong Zhuo, with great military achievements, famous works in the sea, but I have no friendship with him, I am afraid that I will not send troops to help." ”

"Please rest assured, Deng Su Wen Runde Gong is forgiving and benevolent, regards the people as children, Cao Cao is tyrannical, acts against the sky, and should be despised by the righteous gentlemen in the world. Chen Deng swore that he was authentic.

"No! Cannot! Don't drive Mi Zhu stood up, waved his hand and said: "Liu Zexin was defeated by Yuan Shao, fled to Gaotang in a hurry, panicked like a lost dog, took care of himself, and had spare strength to rescue Xuzhou?" In Mi's opinion, it is better to ask for help from Beihai Taishou Kong Rong and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai, and Xuzhou may be protected. ”

Chen Deng shook his head and said: "Brother Zizhong's words are poor, Beihai Kong Rong is pedantic, only good at light, Beihai yellow thieves are flooded and cannot protect themselves, so they have the ability to save Xuzhou." Although Tian Kai is a famous general, he is a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, Fang Jingongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought fiercely in Youzhou, how dare Tian Kai transfer troops south. Although Liu Ze of the plain was newly defeated by Yuan Shao. However, with 30,000 divisions, Yuan Shao's 200,000 army was broken, which was a feat of the heavens and the earth. ”

Mi Zhu wanted to say more, Tao Qian waved his hand and said: "You two don't have to fight anymore, I will repair two letters, Zizhong, you go to Beihai to ask Kong Wenju for help, Yuanlong, you go to the plains to move troops to Liu Runde, no matter where the troops arrive, you can also solve the danger of my Xuzhou." ”

Chen Deng and Mi Zhu were speechless. Bow down and retire.

Out of the state pastoral mansion. Chen Deng went home first and prepared to go out. Just as he was packing his bags, his father Chen Qi came in from outside and asked in surprise, "Where does my son want to go?" "Chen Qi used to be Peixiang. Now resign from the government and retire.

Chen Deng hurriedly saluted: "Xuzhou is in danger. The boy asked for his life and went to the plains to ask for help. ”

Chen Jue retreated left and right. Said: "How did you think that you would ask Liu Ze for help from the plains?" ”

Chen Deng said with a plastic surgery: "Among the princes of Fang today, Cao Cao is tyrannical and unkind, Yuan Shu is greedy and wolfly, and Yuan Shao has no plan to make a decision. Gongsun Zan is very talented, but Liu Ze is a person with benevolence and virtue and courage and extraordinary, can be a hero in the world, if Xuzhou can be helped by him, it will not be destroyed in the hands of Cao Cao. ”

Chen Qi laughed loudly and said: "Liu Ze is newly defeated, and the world thinks that he will collapse, but my son has the wisdom to know the Ying, and he is very pleased with his father." "After that, Chen Qi took a scroll and handed it to Chen Deng's hands." My son is here to give this picture as a gift to Runde Gong. ”

Chen Deng was puzzled, why did his father give Liu Ze a gift in a good manner, and it was still a picture, and he couldn't help asking, "What picture is this?" ”

Chen Qi smiled and said nothing, and motioned for Chen Deng to open the picture, Chen Deng opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned. On the painting, it turned out to be the whole map of the five counties and sixty-two counties of Xuzhou, and at that time, the dedication of the map meant to dedicate the soil, and Chen Deng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Jue sighed heavily: "Tao Gong is unwise, resentful of Cao Cao, Xuzhou has been in trouble since then, even if he can move to save the soldiers, he can save a while, how can he save a lifetime." Cao Cao and Xuzhou's enmity is not the same as the sky, this year's retreat, the coming year will be another expedition, Xuzhou will always be peaceful. I regard Tao Gong as nearly in his twilight years, suffering from this catastrophe, his life will be short, his two sons are unbearable, the heir Xuzhou will be powder, under the nest there are eggs, the bitter can only be Xuzhou thousands of Lishu. ”

"Then my father's intention, this time to go north to rescue, has the intention of luring Liu Ze into Xuzhou?"

"Yes, my son's vision is not bad, Liu Ze is a hero in the world, if he can really enter Xuzhou, Xuzhou will be able to turn the crisis into safety, which is a great fortune for the people of Xuzhou." Chen Qi stroked his beard and said.

Chen Deng said worriedly: "Father, this time I asked for reinforcements on the order of Tao Gong, if I offer the picture to Liu Ze, wouldn't I be suspected of betraying the lord for glory?" "Scholars have the principles and positions of scholars, living in their land and dedicating their land, it is the work of villains, Chen Deng is worried that this move will be criticized by the world, and it must be notorious.

"Compared with the millions of living beings in Xuzhou, the gains and losses of my father and son's honor and disgrace are insignificant, even if I bear the infamy of the ages in the future." Chen Qi said calmly.

Chen Deng bowed in horror and said: "The father gives up his nickname for the righteousness, and the child worships." The boy obeyed his father's instructions and went to the plains to ask for help. Chen Deng hurriedly packed up and led a team of retinues to the north, heading towards Gaotang.

Sleeping in the open all the way, non-stop, Chen Deng was worried about the military situation in Xuzhou, and he did not dare to slack off. It only takes seven or eight days to reach the Gaotang City Gate. Chen Deng handed a greeting to the doorman, and soon someone politely welcomed Chen Deng into the lobby.

Although Chen Deng had never seen Liu Ze, he saw that a person in the hall was sitting in danger, and his air was lofty, so he must have been Liu Ze, so he bowed and said: "Chen Deng, the captain of Xuzhou Diannong, see Runde Gong." ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly, and replied: "I have heard the name of Mr. Yuanlong, and I am fortunate to see it today." Come and sit down, and serve tea. ”

His own subordinates brought tea, Chen Deng thanked him, and sat down. There was no one else in the hall, only Jia Xu and Xu Shu were there, and both of them greeted Chen Deng.

Chen Deng's intention Liu Ze naturally knew it, not to mention that Liu Ze had already known the history of Cao Cao's soldiers committing Xuzhou, and the Jinyingwei sub-offices in various places alone were not dry meals, and they had already reported the intelligence of Yanxu Erzhou, and the only thing that surprised Liu Ze a little was that he didn't expect Chen Deng to look for him directly.

After some cold noise, Liu Ze said: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Yuanlong's visit?" ”

Chen Denggu said that Zhang Min killed Cao Song, and then said: "Runde Gong Mingjian, Cao Cao raised 200,000 soldiers to invade Xuzhou, plundered the army, mutilated the living beings, and Pengcheng and other five counties were slaughtered. Under the order of Tao Envoy, he came to ask Runde Gong to send troops to help, drive away the tyranny, and save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water. ”

As he spoke, Chen Deng presented Tao Qian's letter.

Liu Ze dismantled it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was written by Tao Qian, asking Liu Ze to send troops to help, with sincere words and sad words. Liu Ze closed the letter and said in a deep voice: "Tao Envoy Junzhi's please don't dare to shirk in the next book, but our army is newly defeated, the soldiers and horses have been damaged too much, and the grain and grass are not enough, so I am afraid it will be difficult to move lightly." ”

Chen Deng hurriedly said: "Runde Gong, please rest assured, although Xuzhou was attacked by Cao Cao to break through the five counties, but Tancheng has not lost the state governance is still alive, and Runde Gong does not have to worry about the matter of food and salary. ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "The matter of grain and grass is not the point, but Liu and Cao Mengde have a friendship with classmates, and the friendship is not shallow. In this way, how about I repair a letter to Meng De and reconcile the two of you? ”

Chen Deng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Cao Cao regards Tao Lingjun as the culprit of killing his father, and he will never make peace. In the next is also respect for the heroes of Runde Gong people, taste the Runde Gong in the plains benevolent and generous, love the people like a son, only to dare to beg each other, Wanwang Runde Gong Nian in Xuzhou people are lonely, miserable for the sake of inch, mercy one or two, up and down the state, there will be a good reward. ”

Liu Ze said indifferently: "It is the duty of a gentleman to help the needy, how can he ask for something in return." However, this matter is not trivial, and it needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Chen Deng glanced at Jia and Xu, and said a little unnaturally: "I don't know if I should say a word or not?" ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "Wen and Yuan Zhi are both confidants, and Mr. Yuanlong may as well speak up if he has something to say." ”

Chen Dengnai said: "Runde Gong is a hero of the world, Ping Huang Turban to please Dong Zhuo, and has made immortal achievements, but he is trapped in a small county in Gaotang, such as a dragon trapped in a shallow pool, and a tiger falling in Pingyang, how can I display my ambition of Kunpeng." Dengshi Runde Gong looks wonderful, has lofty aspirations, now Xuzhou is in chaos, Tao makes the king can not be extraterritorial and can not be the enemy, Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Cao Cao, reduced to a scorched earth. If Runde Gong can wave his troops south at this time to save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water, the people of Xuzhou will be grateful to Dade and serve Runde Gong as the lord of Xuzhou. Xuzhou spans five counties and 82 counties, with a population of one million, the people are rich in the country, and if Runde Gong is based on this, it is Qingyan in the north, Ruhuai in the west, and Jiangdong in the south. ”

As he spoke, Chen Deng presented the scroll.

Liu Ze couldn't help but be slightly stunned, there was Tao Qiansan in history who asked Xuzhou to say, I didn't hear about Chen Deng's dedication to the soil, today's show is really unexpected, looking at the scroll presented by Chen Deng, Liu Ze had a whimsical idea in his mind, could it be that Chen Deng also wanted to make a picture of the poor dagger? But soon Liu Ze laughed secretly in his heart, he really thought too much, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin had the hatred of losing the country, and he and Chen Deng had no grudges in the past and no enmity in the near future, how could he plot to assassinate him?

However, Liu Ze is very strange, it stands to reason that Chen Deng is not a villain like Zhang Song, he eats inside and climbs outside, and gives up Bashan Shushui to Liu Bei, and the evaluation of Chen Deng in history is very high. But Liu Ze thought about it, didn't Chen Deng's father and son play Lu Bu around when Lu Bu was in charge of Xuzhou? Although there is a reason why Lu Bu's character is too poor and is despised by the Chen father and son, the Chen father and son can gain a firm foothold for a long time in Xuzhou, which is changing in the late Han Dynasty, and it is inseparable from their concept of self-preservation.
