The Jiangdong army was under the city, more than 400,000 troops surrounded Pengcheng, and the city wall was waiting for it, Chen Deng smiled bitterly, his heart had already turned over the river and the sea, he looked at Zhou Yu in a green robe under the city, and hugged his fists: "Brother Gongjin......"

He suddenly paused in the middle of his words, because he saw the golden figure next to Zhou Yu, and the indifference on his face could no longer be maintained, turning into boundless horror, reaching out his front finger, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak!

"Turmoil! How did he end up here! Why is this happening! His heart roared, like madness, and the wisp of battle intent that had just climbed out instantly disappeared into invisibility, turning into boundless bitterness.

Zhang Fan glanced at him, snorted lightly, and suddenly startled Chen Deng, and said in a lost voice: "You...... Why are you here? ”

Zhang Fan smiled: "Come to collect debts!" ”

"Debt collection?" Chen Deng was stunned, not knowing why.

Zhang Fan said: "Jiangdong is my ally, but Xuzhou sent Cao Bao to lead an ambush before, and we haven't counted this account yet!" ”

At this moment, Chen Deng's face was very exciting: "That battle was our complete defeat, the blood of the Xuzhou army stained Baima Lake red, the corpses piled up, and even General Cao Bao was captured, do you still want to pay off our debts?" ”

Zhang Fan was happy: "No matter what, you are the first to do it, and your skills are not as good as others, this is the destiny of heaven, no wonder others, so this account must be repaid after all!" ”

Speaking of this, his face turned straight, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes: "What, you don't plan to pay it back?" ”

Chen Deng was speechless, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only freeze in place.

Zhang Fan snorted: "I don't want anything else, now that I want to attack Cao Cao, I can borrow something from Tao Qian!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Deng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't attack the city, he would be able to say, so he said, "I don't know what the adults want to borrow?" ”

Zhang Fan glanced at him: "Not much, I only need two!" One is to give me 20,000 Danyang troops, and the second is you! ”

"Me?" Chen Deng didn't expect Zhang Fan to say such words, the first feeling was very absurd, but then he was full of pride and gratitude, to be recognized by a world leader like Zhang Fan, no matter what the result is, he Chen Deng will be famous all over the world after today!

Chen Deng is a scholar family, he is the same as Cao Bao, family interests are the most important, in history Tao Qian gave way to Liu Bei, they followed Liu Bei, and later Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, they assisted Lu Bu, as long as the family can continue, it does not matter who the lord is, so after hearing this, Chen Deng showed a trace of excitement, compared to the weak Tao Qian Zhang Fan is obviously stronger, and compared to Xuzhou, the land of Jizhou is undoubtedly richer, if you can follow Zhang Fan, the Chen family can be prosperous!

The battle has reached this point, anyone has seen the strong potential of Jizhou, Lu Bu's death is a huge blow to Liu Xie's camp, and it almost declared the plan to destroy Jizhou bankrupt, that is to say, the worst ending now is also two-legged, Jizhou has a young emperor Liu Bian, it is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, Chen Deng's surrender is not a betrayal, and he will not be poked in the backbone, which makes his mind lively, but he is also a wise man after all, and he hugged his fist at Zhang Fan and said: "The adult is wrong to love!" Danyang soldiers are the elite of Xuzhou, originally there were nearly 30,000 people, if the adults really wanted, they could only go to Taozhou Mu by themselves! ”

He avoided talking about himself, and only talked about Danyang Bing, in fact, he also left a way back for himself, and asked Zhang Fan to find Tao Qian by himself to make it clear, if Tao Qian was willing to give him, he would naturally ask for it, and no one would say anything about him, but if he didn't want to...... I'm afraid that Zhang Fan, who is as strong as Zhang Fan, will not give Tao Qian a chance that he is unwilling to!

Zhang Fan was so smart, he naturally heard it clearly, and smiled at the moment: "Okay, then I'll go to Tao Qian in person!" ”

Leaving Huang Gai to lead the army to continue to surround Pengcheng, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yu led five thousand Jiangdong righteous soldiers to march towards Xiangcheng where Tao Qian was, originally Pengcheng was the capital of Xuzhou, and the city was high and thick, but because the Jiangdong army was too close, Tao Qian was afraid and rushed to Xiangcheng with his family to live temporarily, planning to rush back after the Jiangdong army retreated, but he didn't expect Zhang Fan to find it first!

Jiangdong Yishi is the trump card of the Jiangdong Army, he followed Sun Jian and made great achievements, everyone is the elite of the elite, even if Zhang Fan sees it, his eyes will light up, although the number is not much, but there is no problem with the enemy who is several times his own, five thousand people escorted Zhang Fan and Zhou Yu, along the way there was no blind Xuzhou guard and went out of the city to make a time, a day later Zhang Fan came to Xiangcheng City.

Tao Qian had already gotten the news, he was old, his body standing on the city wall trembled slightly in the cold wind, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhang Fan: "Lord Feng, meet again!" ”

The two met as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and later cooperated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and drank in Yuan Shao's tent.

Zhang Fan glanced at Tao Qian and clenched his fists slightly: "I haven't seen you for many days, is Tao Jun's body fine?" ”

Tao Qian was slightly stunned, and sighed after a while, he was indeed old, he had no ambition, no desire to win, and his enthusiasm gradually cooled, and he was no longer what he was back then.

Without superfluous words, Zhang Fan said directly: "My mention must have been known by Tao Gong, so I will get straight to the point!" Now let me ask, the young emperor is the emperor of Xian, who is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty? ”

"This ......" Tao Qian was speechless, and a strong dodge appeared in his eyes.

"It doesn't really matter to Tao Gong who is orthodox!"

Zhang Fan opened his mouth and was deafening: "Tao Gong is old, and he may not still have the heart to fight for hegemony, but it is just the trend of the times!" Xuzhou is Tao Gong's blood, I can't bear to plunder, now I only need 20,000 Danyang soldiers and Chen Deng, if Tao Gong gives, it is a good fate with me, now I give a promise, if I finally win, Tao Gong is willing to return, I should not move Xuzhou inch of land, Tao generation for Xuzhou Mu, this life unchanged! ”

"A promise, in exchange for my withdrawal from the army, in exchange for 20,000 Danyang Army and Chen Deng, whether to change or not!"

"To change or not to change?" Tao Qian's heart was shocked, in fact, he has long had no choice, he is old, and his heirs are not angry, if Zhang Fan really wants to attack, other princes will not be able to help, Xuzhou will definitely change the master, and now Zhang Fan gave him the best choice when he had no choice, he couldn't be moved, and he couldn't be moved!

With this choice, no matter which side wins in the end, the Tao family will always be able to stand firm in Xuzhou, which is already the best ending for him who has no ambition, what reason does he have to refuse?

A long sigh came out of Tao Qian's mouth, and a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes, Zhang Fan had given him enough respect and reserved his dignity for him, if he still refused, he would have lived in vain for so long.

In the end, he clenched his fists: "Thank you, my lord!" ”
