After the cavalry entered the city, they returned to their respective camps, and Lü Bu had already made it clear that Zhang Liao would settle the military merits and rewards for the soldiers who went out for this expedition, which was something that must be done after every battle.

"Brother Yuanlong, I don't want you and me to see each other again, this will be the case." Chen Gong looked at Chen Deng, who was escorted back by Lu Bu, and his eyes were a little complicated and inexplicable.

In Chen Gong's prediction, Lu Bu wanted to regain control of Xuzhou, even if he won in the end, there would be a hard battle, but he didn't expect that just a seemingly ordinary 'hunt', Lu Bu would capture the biggest hidden danger in Xuzhou.

It is indeed a hunt, but the prey is not prey in the ordinary sense.

"This is called the impermanence of life." Chen Deng shook his head with a wry smile and said, he can only smile bitterly now.

"Bring Chen Jue, three days later, at noon, on the top of the Xicheng City Tower, behead the two people's sacrificial flags!" Lu Bu patted the red rabbit horse's head, let it go back to the stable by itself, and turned his head to look at Chen Dengdao.

"Wen Hou, although this kind of practice can be done quickly for a while, the hidden dangers it brings are not small." Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and reminded again.

Chen Qi's father and son are the heads of the Xuzhou scholars, and it is not a good thing for Lu Bu to kill them like this.

"If you don't kill them, in addition to making two more talents who hate me in this world, can it be possible to make the Xuzhou family bow down?" Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and said indifferently.

"Being regarded as a great talent by Wen Hou, it seems that Deng is not too much of a failure." Chen Deng looked at Lu Budao with a smile.

"Do it!" Lu Bu glanced at Chen Deng, and didn't say anything more, the enmity was over, and there was no need to talk anymore between the two sides: "Today, let his father and son reunite, and it will not be in vain to get acquainted." ”

"Whoa!" The guards bowed and took Chen Deng straight to the place where Chen Qi was being held.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu who turned to leave, and sighed leisurely, now Lu Bu is even more terrifying than in the past, and for this world, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Chen Deng was captured by Lu Bu without knowing it, and the news that he wanted to behead the Chen family's father and son three days later spread far and wide.

Especially in the past two days, Cao Xing, who had stopped for a while, sacrificed the butcher's knife again, the Huaiyin Xu family, the Tancheng Zhou family, and the Hexiang Ma family, all of which were big clans that had been based in Xuzhou for hundreds of years, and their local influence even overshadowed the Chen family, but in less than three days, they were wiped out by Cao Xing.

Because things happened without warning, and Cao Xing killed people and left, these Xuzhou families didn't have time to react at all.

Quyang, at this moment gathered 5,000 Guangling troops, originally only waiting for Chen Deng to arrive, he immediately launched an attack on the two cities of Xiapi and Tanxian, but 5,000 soldiers and horses have not yet been launched, as the initiator of this expedition against Lu Bu, Chen Deng was taken by Lu Bu in his own territory, which made the families who had gathered in Quyang and were ready to rise up with Chen Deng a little dumbfounded.

"There's a mole!" Guangling General Zhang Meng looked at the group of scribes present with a pair of tiger eyes fiercely, and said calmly: "Not only betrayed us, but also colluded with Lu Bu to frame my lord!" ”

Zhang Meng is a general under Chen Deng, quite powerful, the army is also very powerful, quite valued by Chen Deng, this time Chen Deng is not there, although this Quyang County is not the territory of the Chen family, but the five thousand Guangling army is dispatched by Zhang Meng, which is the strongest one in this Quyang City.

"General Zhang, don't be impatient!" A scribe hurriedly stood up and reassured: "The matter has not yet been clarified, how can it be decided in vain?" ”

This time, everyone joined forces, although almost the entire Xuzhou family joined forces, but in order to ensure confidentiality, most of the families only received a notice that only a small group of people came to Quyang to participate in this crusade against Lu Bu, and this small group of people were either survivors of the group of people who had been persecuted by Lu Bu, and more, but among the Xuzhou families, there were a few who really had the right to speak, and it was impossible for them to fall to Lu Bu's side in this situation where their own side was obviously superior.

Although many people also feel that there is a problem in this matter, if there is no traitor secretly reporting the news, how can Lu Bu catch Chen Deng so quickly and accurately?

However, this kind of thing, before the whole thing is figured out, it is not good to make a rash assertion, and it will be chaotic within itself.

"Rest easy?" Zhang Meng looked at these people calmly: "My lord will be beheaded by Lu Bu tomorrow, you tell me not to be impatient?" ”

"So far!" Xu Fang, who was the head of the Xu family who was slaughtered in Huaiyin, looked at Zhang Meng with a cold face at this moment and said: "General Zhang, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue Han Yugong and Yuanlong, now that our army has the advantage in strength, it is better to send troops directly to Tan County, then Lu Bu captured Han Yu Gong and Yuan Long, but did not deal with it immediately, but spread the news, I am afraid it is just to lead us to throw rat traps, in this case, why not directly attack Lu Bu, the soldiers are in the city, forgive that Lu Bu does not dare to do anything to Han Yugong!" ”

"Good!" Although Zhang Meng is brave and good at fighting, he is not good at intrigue, and he is worried about Chen Deng's safety at the moment, hearing Xu Fang's words, he feels that it makes sense, and he nodded and ordered without hesitation.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if Lu Bu throws a mouse taboo, but their soldiers are in the city, once they send troops to attack the city, I am afraid that the Chen family father and son will be killed immediately, and the Xu Fang family will be destroyed, and they hate Lu Bu in their hearts.

Others naturally saw it, but no one dissuaded it, which may also be the best way, as for the Chen family's father and son......

The Chen family has been destroyed, the decline of the Chen family is a foregone conclusion, not to mention that if the sacrifice of the two can be exchanged for the peace of Xuzhou, this sacrifice is worth it, Xuzhou can have no Chen family, but Xuzhou can not be without the scholars, but if Zhang Meng is allowed to leave, without the 5,000 Guangling army, these people will not be able to take advantage of the bargaining chips to compete with Lu Bu for a while, it is better to take advantage of the fact that Lu Bu's vitality has not yet recovered, and the soldiers of Tanxian County are outnumbered, and they can be spared first.

Zhang Meng obviously didn't expect that in such a short period of time, everyone didn't even have any communication, and they reached a tacit understanding, and they just wanted to kill Tan County as soon as possible and force Lu Bu to release Chen Deng, as for other things, he didn't think much about it.

"The general doesn't have to worry about the matter of grain and grass!" A scribe smiled and said to Zhang Meng: "In the county along the way, there are shops such as us, and they have secretly sent enough grain and grass outside the city, just wait for the general's army to arrive, and the grain and grass will be delivered!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Meng nodded fiercely, without further ado, set off immediately, he will rush to Tan County before noon tomorrow!
