"Does Thorn Shi still think this battle can be won?" Cheng Yu looked at Liu Dai calmly and asked.

Liu Dai was silent, his face gradually gloomy, and he was still a little anxious.

"And these, I didn't count the imperial army stationed in Lu at the moment, in my opinion, this may be the real killer of the imperial court." Cheng Yu continued, "When the northern soldiers and horses go south, the troops stationed in Lu will inevitably take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and penetrate directly into Dongyang City. ”

"Cheng Zhongde!" Liu Dai suddenly shouted, "Why didn't you say these things before?" You did it on purpose! ”

After trapping Cao Hong in Dongyang City, Liu Dai consulted Cheng Yu in the way he is now.

Cheng Yu sneered and asked rhetorically: "Thorn Shi is still young, he shouldn't be so forgetful, didn't I really say it?" Did I not say it, or did Thorn Shi not do what I said?! ”

"I still clearly remember what I said is that from Bo County in the north to Nancheng in the south, soldiers and horses are arranged in stages."

Liu Dai roared, "Is there any difference between this? The current arrangement of troops is still two lines of defense. ”

"How can it be the same? If Thorn Shi wants to kill me, he can do it directly, and there is no need to argue with me about these things. Cheng Yu said coldly, the war has reached this point, and he even thought of throwing the pot.

Cheng Yu really admires Liu Dai now, this is not something ordinary people can do.

I don't know what I thought, the anger on Liu Dai's face suddenly receded quickly like a tide, he took a step back, and said to Cheng Yu with a bow: "Mr. Zhongde, now is the time for me to wait for life and death, and I ask Mr. Zhongde to give me advice." ”

Although Liu Dai's appearance at the moment is very much like that.

But for this villain, Cheng Yu has long been unable to raise any good feelings in his heart.

He rubbed his fingers, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled slightly, "If Thorn Shi shrinks his forces to the area of Nanwuyang, he may have a glimmer of life, otherwise I don't seem to have any chance of winning this game of chess no matter how I look at it." ”

"This battle is not a battle for every inch of land, your purpose is to consume the imperial court's forces and slow down the pace of the imperial court's advance."

Liu Dai put down his hands, got up slowly, and asked uncertainly: "Can the generation of troops withdraw to Nanwuyang win?" ”

Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing, "Liu Tingshi, I can barely be regarded as a strategist, but in essence, I am a prisoner of the ranks, this battle is not fought by me, how can I tell you with certainty that this battle can be won?" ”

"Even if I personally led the army, I couldn't be so sure."

Liu Dai smiled, "It's true that I'm abrupt." ”

"Someone." He turned around and shouted, "Send fast horses quickly, and send a message to General Wang Kuang to immediately lead the army to retreat and garrison the army in Nanwuyang." ”

"Whoa!"

After arranging, Liu Daifu asked again: "Sir, what else do you need to explain?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head, "I advise the assassin Shi to make plans early, the imperial court is menacing this time, and it is not easy to win this battle." Why do you have to hold on to the court and fight to the death in Taishan County? ”

Liu Dai looked at Cheng Yu in a daze, and suddenly grabbed a handful of hair, "Yes, why do I have to die in Taishan County?" I can run! It's okay for me to borrow a way from the Southern Xiongnu to copy Shanyang County. ”

Liu Dai instantly became more and more excited the more he thought about it, looking at his ecstatic appearance, as if he was ready to hug Cheng Yu and gnaw on it.

"It's really worthy of Mr. Zhongde, who woke up the dreamer with a word." Liu Dai said excitedly.

But looking at Liu Dai's appearance, Cheng Yu's mood couldn't get better.

Damn, I don't pay attention to talking too much.

How good it would be for Liu Dai to die in Taishan County.

The tactics of the imperial court this time were obviously to attack and harass head-on, encircle on three sides, and then surprise attack around the rear.

The forces that they really rescued Dongyang City must not be in the front, but in the back that no one noticed.

Now that he said this, if Liu Dai really ran away, wouldn't he become a sinner?

But now it's too late to make up for it.

Cheng Yu instantly became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and wanted to strangle himself to death.

This mouth made him give superfluous.

"Come on, hurry up and prepare wine and meat, I have to make a special trip to set up a banquet for Mr. Zhongde." Liu Dai, who was in a good mood instantly, immediately commanded with great enthusiasm.

Cheng Yu hurriedly raised his hand to stop, "Liu Tingshi, there is no need to set up a banquet, you are busy with yours, I still have a book to read." ”

This is straightforward not to give face, the smile on Liu Dai's face froze for a moment, snorted, and said: "That's okay, it's okay, then don't disturb Mr. Zhongde to continue reading." ”

"Sir, don't worry, there is no possibility of going back on what I promised, and this will definitely be the last time."

But these words, in Cheng Yu's ears, are no different from farting.

……

Liu Dai's suggestion to Cheng Yu this time did not cut corners at all.

He recalled Wang Kuang and Bao Xin's troops, and laid out a defense line running through the east and west in the Nanwuyang generation, and at the same time took into account the west facing the Lu State. And sent someone to inform Yuan Shao as soon as possible, ready to answer, he had to run away at any time.

After all this was arranged, Liu Dai felt as if it was really his luck that began to tilt.

Chen Deng, the son of Pei Guoxiang, actually came to see him in person, as if he intended to form an alliance.

Liu Dai used quite a high specification in Nanwuyang and met Chen Deng in person.

Bao Xin and Wang Kuang, who rushed back from the north, and Liu Dai's righteous son Lu Bu were accompanying them during the banquet.

Except for Bao Xin, who died his brother first and then lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, his face was not good-looking, everyone else was quite natural.

When there is a way out, their mentality is also a lot more relaxed.

"Chen Xian's nephew was able to come on behalf of his father at this time, which surprised us, and he drank this glass of wine first, and then discussed business." Liu Dai raised the bottle and beckoned to sing and dance.

"Please!" Chen Deng raised his glass and said.

The sound of tinkling silk and bamboo, and the enchanting and graceful posture of the maids, are actually very beautiful.

But Bao Xin saw in his eyes, only endless irritability.

The war has been fought so far, and it seems that he is the only one who has been losing his troops.

The soldiers who had just been recruited with great effort were all lost in the blink of an eye, and he is now a bare-bones general again.

He didn't know how they could still laugh at this time?

How can you still be in the mood to drink and have fun!

After drinking almost the wine, Liu Dai asked the Lingyou to retreat, and asked Chen Deng, "I heard that the virtuous nephew intends to form an alliance?" ”

"That's not what I meant, and that's what my father meant." Chen Deng stood up and bowed his hand to everyone, and said, "Don't hide Liu Tingshi, our Peiguo is sandwiched between all forces, and now it is really uncomfortable. If there is no big tree to rely on, my father is very worried, and I don't know when the country will be ruined. ”

"Why not choose the imperial court? Your father, Chen Qike, has always been a loyal minister. Bao Xin had a strong smell of gunpowder in his mouth.

Chen Deng chuckled and said, "Isn't what the elders have chosen is also the imperial court?" ”

"We are all Han ministers, but we can't bear the displacement of the people and the misery, so we gathered troops to rise up against the tyrant and the cruel and unkind court."

These words attracted strong approval from everyone.

Especially Lu Bu, it seems that he has found a soulmate in an instant.

Isn't this the real reason why he betrayed the court?

Bao Xin snorted lightly, picked up the wine bottle, and continued to drink alone.

"The virtuous nephew's words really mean that I am waiting for my heart, isn't that the case?" Liu Dai sighed, "It's just that the world has a lot of misunderstandings about us, thinking that we are the rebellious ministers and thieves who have abandoned the society." For the sake of the people of the world, we can swallow this grievance, but we are depressed. ”

Although Chen Deng said the words himself, he almost vomited out yesterday's overnight dinner when he listened to Liu Dai's sworn agreement, how shameless can a person be to say such shameless things in such a grand manner?

"This is the consensus of people of insight, those ignorant people who have been blinded, why should Liu Tingshi care?" Chen Deng said, "If you want to be a rebel and a thief, everyone has a better choice, right?" ”

"Exactly." Liu Dai laughed heartily.

Chen Deng, who is so good at talking, just a few words allowed him to clear the haze in his heart for days.

"I don't know how many troops Peiguo can send?" Wang Kuang asked.

As the real host of Taishan County, Wang Kuang's strength is now the strongest among all the people here.

With the help of the clan lord of Taishan County, he added 13,000 soldiers and horses during these days.

In particular, the cavalry under his command soared from the original 700 to 4,000.

The fierce combat effectiveness of the cavalry makes every cavalry seem precious.

"I'm ashamed to say that the troops that my Peiguo can recruit for the time being are really not much." Chen Deng said with a look of shame, "For the time being, there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and my father is lobbying the gentry in the country, hoping that they can help recruit soldiers and horses." ”

"If you have money and food, you should be able to recruit thousands of soldiers and horses."

王匡笑言道：“贤侄不必因为此事而烦忧，若当那些豪绅得知你父子二人乃是反抗皇帝的义军，他们一定会上赶着来找你的。 ”

This kind of thing was experienced by Wang Kuang himself, so he was extremely sure.

"I hope so." Chen Deng sneered, "Two thousand soldiers and horses are really a little pitiful. ”

At this time, Liu Dai suddenly asked a question, "I have the impression that your father seems to have a great relationship with Yuan Shu, why don't you choose to help Yuan Shu?" He is stationed in Luyang at the moment, and there are tens of thousands of people in Nanyang behind him, and it will become a climate. ”

Chen Deng thought that everyone was chatting so happily that no one would ask about it.

As a result, I didn't think about it but was asked.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

So, he said in a somewhat melancholy tone: "My father and Yuan Shu do have some personal relationships, but not long ago, my father accidentally learned that Yuan Shu had the intention of being the emperor. My father wanted to support the Han Dynasty, but he didn't want to support an emperor surnamed Yuan. ”

"I see, your father is a real righteous man, and he is ashamed of my generation." Liu Dai said.

Bao Xin, whose eyes were red from drinking, suddenly shouted in a muffled voice: "Yuan Shu is ready to be the emperor?" ”

"Indeed, it is rumored that he has already sacrificed to the gods and is ready to ride." Wang Kuang said.

Bao Xin scolded with wine, "This idiot, does he really think that the world is in chaos, and everyone can be the emperor?" ”

"A damn thing!"

"He also said that Yuan Benchu was a servant of his family, even if he was really a servant, Yuan Benchu was much more noble than him."

Wang Kuang glanced at Bao Xin sideways, and shouted dishappily, "You're drunk." ”

"Come on, help Prime Minister Bao to go down and rest."
