From the standpoint of a subordinate official, Chen Deng's words were somewhat rebellious, and he sold their lord Tao Qian almost instantly.

But if you look at it from the official point of view of a normal Shilin, the Chen family is not wrong to do this.

First of all, the Guangling Chen clan was originally an official eunuch, and their local power was extremely great, and Chen Qi was also a Peixiang of two thousand stones in the past.

And Tao Qian is just a assassin appointed by the imperial court to Xuzhou, and the Chen family is not Tao Qian's protégé, so when Xuzhou is facing a change, they throw themselves into a new local governor who can benefit the Chen family, which is not a rebellion in the eyes of the Shilin people.

I have to say that the Chen family's vision is indeed very vicious, in this situation, ninety percent of the people feel that Xuzhou's biggest enemy is Cao Cao, and only the Chen family vaguely sees the real threat of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu, these people are just the vanguard of the battle in Xuzhou, but the one who can really pose a threat to Xuzhou is the general who is far away in Hebei.

It seems that it is right to send someone to communicate with Liu Jian as soon as possible.

Chen Ying, the second son of the Chen family, who had never said anything, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "What my father and brother said are right, but I don't know one thing, and I ask my father and brother for guidance." ”

Chen Qi and Chen Deng turned their heads to look at Chen Ying at the same time.

Chen Ying said with some hesitation: "Father said that the biggest black hand who wants to plot against Xuzhou at present is Liu Jian, the hero of Hebei, but now Liu Jian is far away in Hebei, and according to the news, all the troops in Hebei are stationed in various counties, and there is no phenomenon of assembly, and the generals of each department are also stationed in the counties of Youzhou and Jizhou. ”

"Now, the war in Xuzhou is imminent, Liu Jian's vanguard in Xuzhou is only Liu Bei, and it is impossible to defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian with Liu Bei's troops."

"Even if Liu Bei can defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian, it will inevitably be a big injury, how can he compete with Tao Gong in Xuzhou?"

"And no matter how famous Liu Bei is now, he doesn't have an official edict from the imperial court, if he directly clashed with Tao Gong, wouldn't he put himself in the same situation as Cao Cao? So what's the point of him pretending to be benevolent and righteous in Xuzhou before? ”

Don't say it, these words really stopped Chen Qi and Chen Deng.

In fact, Chen Qi and Chen Deng didn't think about this problem, but the two of them couldn't figure out what Liu Jian was going to do now to take over Xuzhou justifiably.

Even if it wasn't justified, then at least he had to send enough soldiers and horses.

Liu Jian remained motionless in Hebei, but asked Liu Bei to cooperate with Tao Qian in Xuzhou to go back and forth to the east and west, and the final result would definitely not be too good.

Although Liu Jian does have the ability to reach the sky and can support Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou to an unprecedented height, but in terms of strength, Liu Bei is not the top in Xuzhou now.

Chen Qi also stroked his beard in confusion, and muttered to himself: "Yes, what is Liu Jian thinking?" Why didn't he send troops to Xuzhou? ”

When he said this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Deng and asked, "Yuanlong, what do you think is going on here?" ”

Chen Deng's face couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"Father, father, you can't figure things out, how can I figure it out?"

Chen Qi frowned: "Do you think it is because we think too much, then Liu Jian has no intention of coming to Xuzhou at all, and Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou is completely operated by himself or secretly arranged, and no one interferes." ”

Chen Ying said: "If this is the case, if we send someone to negotiate with Liu Jian, wouldn't it be an empty trip?" If you let Tao Gong know in the future, I am afraid that the Chen family will not have a good time in the future, and the situation will be even more passive at that time. ”

Chen Deng frowned: "With Liu Bei's ability, is it possible for him to do such a thing?" The child believes that if this matter is really man-made, it must be done by Hebei, and Liu Bei alone will never be possible. ”

Chen Jue sighed helplessly: "Then do we want to communicate with Liu Jian?" ”

When Chen Jue said this, his two sons were silent.

Now none of this man knows what to do.

……

But what everyone in Xuzhou didn't know was that Liu Jian was on the beach in Tianjin Lane at this time, looking northeast, waiting for a person to arrive.

This was the first time that a regular army was ushered in from the direction of eastern Liaodong after Liu Jian organized the establishment of a port.

Originally, the routes from the Bohai Sea were at most a matter of goods and trade...... For military use, or for the first time.

Although he had been carefully prepared in advance and had many experiments, Liu Jian still had no bottom in his heart.

After all, the person who led the elite Liaodong soldiers and horses from Hanzhou to Hebei this trip was his good brothers Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

If something really happens, who is responsible? I'm afraid that he Liu Jian will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the sea was reflected red by the setting sun, and the sea breeze was blowing, and the weather began to cool a little.

Zhang Fei draped a robe on Liu Jian's body and said, "Brother, I'm afraid that Yun Chang won't be here for a while, why don't you go back and rest first, how about I wait for my brother here for him?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head stubbornly: "If you don't go back, I'll wait for Yun Chang here...... If the clouds don't grow, my heart will be restless, and it's a big deal to stay on this beach all night. ”

Zhang Fei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade Liu Jian, but finally gave up.

Because his heart is also hanging at the moment, he doesn't know if Guan Yu can successfully reach Hebei.

As for Guan Yu's thoughts, the two brothers are now exactly the same.

This kind of worry and concern for their brothers can only be clearly understood by themselves.

Just when the two brothers looked at the sea and thought that they didn't belong, suddenly, Liu Jian's eyes narrowed.

He wiped his eyes vigorously to prevent himself from seeing flowers.

Then, he pointed to the faint row of dots on the sea level in the distance: "Yide, do you think that is our sea ship?" ”

Zhang Fei's eyes may not be as good as Liu Jian's, he squinted his eyes and looked there for a long time, but in the end he stomped his feet excitedly, and roared like a huge thunder: "Brother, yes, yes, it's a sea ship, it's our sea ship that has finally arrived!" Yun Chang has arrived with his soldiers and horses! ”

Liu Jian let out a long sigh of relief.

He tapped the palm of his right hand with his left hand and sighed: "It's successful, it's finally successful!" Transporting troops at sea by sea vessels will ...... Although I knew in advance that I could succeed, but seeing Yun Chang arrive, my heart finally let go. ”

"From now on, our soldiers in Hebei can go south to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and even Yangzhou by sea, and even Jiaozhou."

"There is no longer a barrier on the southeast border of Dahan, and there is no place where my soldiers and horses in Hebei cannot go."

Eventually, the black dots grew larger on the horizon and the outlines became clearer.

The ship approached, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, it turned into huge sea ships, reflecting in the eyes of Liu Jian and others at the port.

As the huge sea ships docked, after anchoring, the deck was put on the shore, and I saw burly Liaodong soldiers walking down from the warships one after another.

Although they were burly and extremely elite, everyone's faces didn't seem to be very good, and some even bowed down, lacking a bit of momentum.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this: "Brother, how do you look at these soldiers, they are a little ......?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "There is no way to do this, our northern soldiers are not good at water warfare, and even fewer people have been to the sea before, and it is already very good that they can hold on to this place from Hanzhou, and some of them may be taking a boat for the first time...... This is seasickness...... It's already good to have such a performance, but when you go back and try it on your own, it doesn't feel good at first. ”

Zhang Fei grinned bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "If I don't have that need, I don't want to sit in this life." ”

Just as the two brothers were talking, they saw a red-faced and long-haired general in a green robe slowly walking down from the warship.

Obviously, Guan Yu had never taken a boat before, and this time Cheng Haichuan was a little uncomfortable, but his reaction was not so strong, but his face was slightly not good-looking, but the momentum on his body was still the same as before.

After seeing Liu Jian waiting for him on the shore, Guan Yu's spirit suddenly lifted, he strode towards Liu Jian, and knelt down on one knee to Liu Jian in front of all the soldiers.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years, Guan finally sees you again today...... Brother!! ”
