Lu Bu knows very well: 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 compare with 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?" ”

"The lord can rest assured, Deng grew up in this Xuzhou City since he was a child, and his understanding of this Xuzhou City is definitely higher than anyone else." 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 nodded with a chuckle and said, "With Yuanlong here, Bu 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 Chen Palace, Chen Deng is just a false villain.

However, what Chen Gong has to admire is that Chen Deng is indeed a person with real talent and learning. Moreover, his mind is also very flexible, and in the face of his many difficulties, 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: if a person is not a sage, who can do no wrong. So. The more perfect Chen Deng's table is, the more suspicious Chen Gong is 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 reasoning is true, it will definitely be a blow to Xuzhou. After all, with the status of the Chen family in Xuzhou, his words. It can affect half of Xuzhou. If that were the case, Chen Deng would have to be eliminated.

However, in the absence of real evidence, Chen Gong did not dare to rashly move Chen Deng. 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 did the enemy a great favor. However, Chen Gong's conjecture was not bad at all, on the surface, Chen Deng was very flattering to Lu Bu, but in fact. Chen Deng was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu's various behaviors. In his opinion, Lu Bu did not have the demeanor of a troubled overlord at all. Nothing but personal prowess.

Therefore, Chen Deng, who has been arrogant since he was a child, how can he worship such people. Now it is just Chen Deng's expedient measure, and when the time is ripe, Chen Deng will naturally go against Lu Bu. And now, he can only compromise and Lu Bu.

After all. His home is still in Xuzhou. Although the Chen family is deeply rooted in Xuzhou, if it really wants to offend Lu Bu. That own family would definitely not be able to face Lu Bu's soldiers alone. Although Lu Bu is not a good person, the soldiers in Xuzhou are really elite divisions.

And now, an excellent opportunity to get rid of Lu Bu's clutches appeared in front of Chen Deng's eyes, and that was Cao Cao of Yanzhou. For Cao Cao, Chen Deng once had an in-depth understanding, and in Chen Deng's view. Cao Cao can really be regarded as a hero in troubled times. Only a person of his character is worthy of his own service.

With such an idea, Chen Deng mobilized the Chen family's powerful ability in Xuzhou and contacted Cao Cao.

Although Chen Deng did not appear in front of Cao Cao in person, he voted for Chen Deng. Cao Cao still seemed unusually happy. Although Xun Yu reminded Cao Cao that there might be fraud in this, Cao Cao showed great trust in Chen Deng.

And when these words reached Chen Deng's ears, it aroused his determination to join Cao even more. Cao Cao is definitely a hero-level character, and if he follows Cao Cao in the future, he will definitely have his own practical strengths. When the time comes, your ideals and ambitions will be fully realized.

However, although Chen Deng had such thoughts in his heart, he did not express it at all. You must know that although Lu Bu has no brains. But Chen Gong beside him is definitely a very difficult person.

He seems to have already seen his own thoughts, and as long as he sees himself, he will make things difficult for himself. Of course, the difficulty is secondary, and his difficulty belongs to the hidden murder. If you are not careful, you may step into a place of no return.

Faced with such a life, Chen Deng felt very tired. Therefore, he wanted to solve the battle of Xuzhou early, so that Cao Cao could eliminate Lu Bu as soon as possible. But the more this happens, the more Chen Deng needs to walk on thin ice. After all, Chen Gong spies on himself as closely as a thief.

Now that the surroundings of Xuzhou City have been fortified by Chen Palace, there is a defense like a bucket, and it is difficult for Chen Deng to find out how many weaknesses there are in it. If you really talk about weakness, it comes from the interior of Xuzhou City.

Although Chen Deng would be like this, he categorically did not dare to try. After all, his wife and family are all in Xuzhou City. So whether this matter is successful or not, it will involve your own family. At that time, even if he succeeds in getting rid of Lu Bu, he will become a loner.

For such a thing, Chen Deng categorically would not let it happen. Therefore, taking precautions, Chen Deng still has to show that there is no deviation from before.

Of course, when Chen Gong was calculating Chen Deng all the time, Chen Deng was also calculating Chen Gong. After all, in the entire Lu Bujun camp, Chen Gong definitely plays a vital position. If he can move to Chen Palace, but there is a crack in the relationship between Chen Palace and Lu Bu, it will definitely be a good thing.

However, although it is very simple to say, it is difficult to do. As the saying goes, it's better to give charcoal in the snow than to put the icing on the cake. When Chen Gong followed Lu Bu, it was when Lu Bu's situation was at its most critical. And under such circumstances, Lu Bu naturally had an unusual trust in Chen Gong.

Therefore, some things are not just said by mouth, but Chen Deng has not yet come up with specific practical actions, after all, this matter is too difficult.

Time is going by little by little, and Cao Jun is afraid that it will not be long before he can reach the city of Xuzhou. This made some of the people in Xuzhou City panic, after all, it won't be long before there will be another war. For ordinary people, peace is the most desirable thing.

Of course, in addition to the people in Xuzhou City who are worried, there is another headache that is also abnormal, and this person is Lu Bu. Ever since he knew that Cao Jun had won victories along the way, Lu Bu's heart had been beating drums, because he was no longer the ambitious tiger he used to be.

And at this moment, a soldier ran to Lu Bu in a panic, and then he said to Lu Bu with a slightly trembling voice: "Lord, Cao Cao's army has now appeared not far outside Xuzhou City. ”

Hearing the news he didn't want to hear, Lu Bu didn't know how to react. Before he could say anything, Chen Gong and Chen Deng both appeared in front of him.

Seeing the two of them, Lu Bu's heart was somewhat relaxed. These two people are their spiritual pillars, as long as they are there, then they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. After all, the resourcefulness of the two is ordinary people, as long as there is a way.

"Yuanlong, what do you two think about the public platform?" Seeing the two of them, Lu Bu hurriedly asked. After all, at this time, the two of them are their own lifesavers. If you let yourself charge into battle, there is absolutely no problem, but if you let yourself go to seek wisdom with Cao Jun, ten Lu Bu is not Cao Cao's opponent.

Chen Gong and Chen Deng glanced at each other, and then heard Chen Deng speak: "The lord doesn't need to worry, the entire Xuzhou City has been fortified by the military division, I am afraid that the military division has already had a good strategy to break the enemy, so the military division must be strategizing." ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu hurriedly looked towards Chen Gong. Chen Gong glanced at Chen Deng with a look, and then said: "Don't worry, the lord of Xuzhou is the top priority of Xuzhou. The walls were tall, and the defenses were for dinner. Moreover, you must know that there are 30,000 troops hoarded in Xuzhou City, and the grain and grass reserves in the city are sufficient, which is enough for the army to consume. ”

Although the Cao army outside the city was victorious and morale was high. But we can't hold on, and Cao Cao will have no way to deal with us. Moreover, although Cao's army has an army of 80,000, but the war is consumed, and sending troops to defend the city naturally consumes its strength, and the real combatants are only 60,000 or 70,000 people. Think my Xuzhou City is so tall that it can't withstand the attack of tens of thousands of his people? ”

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu's mood was naturally a lot happier. At the same time, he also blamed himself in his heart for making a fuss and not being calm enough in the face of things. (To be continued......)
