Chapter 144: Ming Xiu

In the following days, the torrential rain did not stop. In the past few days, Du Chen has not appeared, and has been in his tent all the time. And in the past few days, Jia Xu under Du Chen has not shown up for a long time, and I don't know what the two of them are busy with.

In Cao Cao's tent, Jia Xu was standing in front of Cao Cao with an indifferent face. And Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu with a strange look, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lord, the heavy rain in the past few days has completely impounded the upstream reservoir, as long as the dam is opened, there will be a country near Xuzhou City." Jia Xu said expressionlessly, as if he had nothing to do with this matter. However, as everyone knows, if the dam is really to be drilled, the people in Xuzhou City will be displaced, and their families will be ruined.

And the more Jia Xu showed such an expression, the more Cao Cao was interested in Jia Xu. Such a person is the most suitable strategist. Because in his eyes, he only has himself, and in order to achieve his goal, he will absolutely do whatever it takes, even if it is sacrificing the people or sacrificing the soldiers. He could do anything to win.

However, the more such people are, the more suitable they are to live in troubled times. Because in order to be able to live, they will do their best.

Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "Since Si Lang has given you the power, then I will not doubt it, so you will boldly let it go." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Jia Xu leaned over to salute, and then said, "I hope that the lord can evacuate to the high ground as much as possible, otherwise the flood will be in trouble." ”

"At this time, I have my own opinions, you go and do your job." Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for Jia Xu to leave.

After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao showed a different smile. Then he said to himself: "Si Lang really found a good subordinate. After speaking, Cao Cao summoned his own soldiers to prepare for the withdrawal of the army.

Cao's move to withdraw his troops. Naturally, he couldn't hide the Lu Bujun on Xuzhou City. Seeing that Cao's army planned to withdraw his army, the Lu Bu army on the city wall was very happy. Immediately, someone went to inform Chen Gong and Lu Bu.

When the two heard the news, they showed diametrically opposed expressions. Hearing that Cao Jun planned to withdraw his troops, Lu Bu was naturally very happy. But looking at Chen Gong, he didn't have a smile at all. Instead of smiling. Instead, there was a hint of doubt and uneasiness.

The withdrawal of the Cao army revealed that this was abnormal, after all, the Cao army was bound to win this time, how could it be possible to withdraw the army lightly. Chen Gong's gloomy face was thinking about this kind of possibility.

"Gongtai, since the Cao army has withdrawn, why do you still have such an expression?" Seeing Chen Gong sitting there expressionlessly, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Lu Bu speak to himself, Chen Gong raised his head and looked at Lu Bu, and then said, "Return to the lord." The withdrawal of the Cao army was full of doubts, and I suspect that this is just a cover-up by the Cao army. ”

"I don't agree with the words of the military advisor. It is a well-known fact that Cao Jun is short of grain, and the impact of heavy rain will affect the transportation of grain and grass. Without sufficient food and grass supplies, Cao's army would naturally withdraw. Just as Chen Gong finished speaking, Chen Deng on the side suddenly retorted.

And Lu Bu was also helping on the side, obviously after the withdrawal of Cao's army. Lu Bu was very happy.

Chen Gong glanced at Chen Deng coldly, and the cold killing intent was hidden in his eyes. As early as the place where Cao's army was besieging the city. Chen Gong wanted to kill Chen Deng. But Chen Deng seemed to have gotten some rumors, and he had been by Lu Bu's side since the Cao army began to attack the city, almost inseparable.

And this situation made Chen Gong not know how to start. After all, with Lu Bu's skills, no one in the world dared to kill people in front of him. Therefore, this made Chen Gong's plan run aground.

And in order to gain Lu Bu's trust. Chen Deng's table xiΓ n is also very hard-working. This made Lu Bu more and more convinced of Chen Deng, which made Chen Gong feel very uneasy, after all, he doubted Chen Deng's identity.

Now, Chen Deng has come out to contradict himself. Chen Gong's mood can be imagined. But even if he wants Chen Deng to die again, he has to suppress it, and he must focus on the overall situation.

"This matter has to be guarded against, Du Silang, the first strategist under Cao Cao, is resourceful, this may be his conspiracy." Chen Gong said earnestly. And Chen Deng on the side said again: "Although Du Chen is resourceful, how can he shake the heavens with his strength. This is God asking Cao Jun to withdraw his troops, this is something that he Du Chen can control? Strategist, you're just suspicious. Chen Gong looked at Chen Deng coldly, his face full of gloom. Tong GuΓ² Chen Deng's words just now made Chen Gong feel that Chen Deng had a problem even more. As a strategist, he should have tried his best for the lord, but with Chen Deng's qualifications, he didn't do it, isn't it obvious that there is a problem?

"Yuan Long's words are bad, war is not something that can be said clearly in a few words. At this time, no one is sure whether Cao Jun has any conspiracy. So when the war is inconclusive, anything is possible. Chen Gong said coldly.

"Yuanlong's words are also quite reasonable, you are indeed a little redundant in the public stage. Now that Cao's army has retreated, what other conspiracy can there be. After listening to the two arguing for a long time, Lu Bu finally couldn't hold his breath and spoke.

Hearing Lu Bu say this, Chen Deng naturally showed the expression of a winner. And Chen Gong's face was even more gloomy, and then he said: "Cao Jun is cunning, so I have to guard against it." Moreover, the sudden retreat of the Cao army did not have a hint of warning, which naturally implied a great conspiracy. ”

Chen Gong's bitter heart sounded a little irritable to Lu Bu. Cao Jun finally retreated, but Chen Gong chattered in his ear to remind him how powerful Cao Jun was, which made Lu Bu feel good. I saw him wave his hand and said, "There is no need to say anything about this matter, Bu is a little tired." ”

Chen Gong took a step forward and was about to speak, but Chen Deng stopped in front of Chen Gong and said, "Military advisor, since the lord is tired, don't disturb the lord when I wait." Let's wait for us to retire first. ”

Chen Gong glared at Chen Deng fiercely, and then walked away with anger. Seeing Chen Gong leaving, Chen Deng did not forget to smear Chen Gong in front of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was naturally not a fool, he glanced at Chen Deng coldly, and then said, "Okay, this matter is over, you can go first." ”

Hear the words. Chen Deng hurriedly bowed to Lu Bu, and then he turned around and walked down. At the moment when he turned around, Chen Deng showed a very cold expression. But then he was hidden by himself, after all, he was still in front of Lu Bu, and he couldn't do it accidentally.

Leaving Lu Bu's mansion, the more Chen Gong thought about it, the more angry he became. He was angry with Chen Deng at the same time. is also angry with Lu Bu. With his mind, he could naturally see that Lu Bu's move was to find someone to restrain him. This made Chen Gong feel that it was not worth it, what did he work so hard for.

But although Chen Gong was a little cold, he poured his heart and soul into taking Xuzhou after all. So he would never watch Xuzhou be destroyed in Chen Deng's hands. So no matter what, I have to do my best to get rid of Chen Deng. But before that, he still has to find out what Cao Jun's conspiracy is.

However, at the moment, he must be weak, and Lu Bu will definitely not help him, so the matter of going out of the city to investigate can only fall on him. But although he is a military advisor, he does not have the tiger talisman to mobilize the army. So you can't mobilize any troops all the time.

However, when Chen Gong was worried, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Then Chen Deng hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the man's mansion.

Xuzhou City, Zhang Liao's mansion. In the face of the continuous rain, Zhang Liaobiao was a little cramped and uneasy. Although in the first few days of Lianyu, Zhang Liaobiao was very excited. But then, Zhang Liao's happiness gradually turned into worry.

As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless. So at the time of the confrontation between the two armies. The most often used is the power of fire and water.

Water is limited by terrain and weather, and left and right are not often present in war. But it definitely plays a crucial role. Just a thought. The entire lower reaches of the river will be transformed into a land in an instant. What a terrible destructive power this is, and this is a power that people crave so much.

And at this time, the subordinates in Zhang Liao's mansion suddenly ran in front of Zhang Liao and told him that Chen Gong was coming.

Hearing that Chen Gong actually came to his mansion, Zhang Liao hurriedly sent someone to invite him to the study. In the entire LΓΌ Bu camp, Zhang Liao admired LΓΌ Bu in addition to that. The one I admire the most is Chen Gong. Although Chen Gong looked weak and weak, in his weak body, there was endless strength.

Quickly came to the study and saw the Chen Palace in the study, Zhang Liao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have seen a military advisor." ”

Chen Gong hurriedly stepped forward. Hurriedly picked up Zhang Liao and said, "What is the general, you must know that you are the pillar of our army." If it weren't for you defending Pengcheng that day and delaying Du Chen's attack, it would be hard to say who this Xuzhou City was. ”

"What did the military advisor say, as a general, what you need to do is to lead the troops into battle. Moreover, the battle of Pengcheng also depends on the proper arrangement of the military division. In front of Chen Gong, Zhang Liao was very humble.

And it was these humilities that made Chen Gong nod very happily. Immediately, Chen Gong spoke: "I came to you today, there is one more thing I need your help with. ”

"The military advisor has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as Liao can do it, Liao will definitely do it." Zhang Liao said in an unusually affirmative tone.

Chen Gong nodded, and then said, "You also know that the Cao army has withdrawn. However, I always suspect that Cao's army has other plans for withdrawing. Therefore, I want you to lead the soldiers of the trapped camp under General Gao out of the city to inspect, especially in the upper reaches of the river, whether the Cao army has done anything. ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Zhang Liao naturally agreed without thinking about it. However, the next sentence made Zhang Liao's face change slightly. Because Chen Gong told Zhang Liao that he didn't have a tiger talisman in his hand.

Chen Gong said this, which made Zhang Liao a little overwhelmed. You must know that he is known for his strict military discipline, so he obeys military discipline more than anyone else. After all, as the commander of the army, he has to lead by example. If you have repeatedly violated military discipline, then what ability do you have to restrain others?

Among the many military disciplines, the prohibition of transferring troops and sending generals without authorization is at the forefront of any military discipline. Dispatch troops without authorization, but there is a suspicion of rebellion. Therefore, when Zhang Liao heard this, his face became very ugly. (To be continued......)
