Zhang Liao and others took people down and sent Chen Deng to prison, but Chen Deng's mind was relaxed.

At least you don't have to die.

With the style of the state army, if you commit the crime of collaborating with the enemy, it is estimated that you will not be stingy with the neatness and cleanliness of the lobby, and you will kill if you draw a knife and say kill.

But Lu Bu was only sent to prison and deposed from his official position, which shows that he is not determined to kill.

This news soon reached Chen Gui's ears, and it was also spread by Hao Meng, who was quite kind under Lu Bu.

When Chen Gui heard the news, he was stunned.

Immediately, he asked the visitor clearly: "Is he really collaborating with the enemy?" ”

Hao Meng is quite obese, and when she heard this at this time, the fat on her face trembled slightly, why do you ask that?

Is it really his father? Looking at this appearance, it seems that he wants to destroy his relatives in righteousness.

"No, Chen Deng confessed, but he leaked the news in the letter."

"I am afraid that there are many soldiers deployed by our army, and the public opinion of the people in the city is ......"

When Hao Meng said this, he smiled honestly, "My lord, my general knows that this matter is not easy to say, so he sent me to inform him, please don't blame." ”

"Humph!" Chen Gui snorted coldly, his waist gradually straightened up, and his originally serious face was full of anger, "Even if it is just leaked, it is also a collaborator, although this is unintentional, how many soldiers of the three armies have been killed." ”

"The general knows how important the defense and military intelligence of the First World War were, and if my son was not aware of it in his letters, and was hooked, he was incompetent, and how could an incompetent person be appeased."

Chen Gui's face was cold, and his eyes were full of disappointment, "Please ask the general to punish himself, if he gives me this favor, I can spare his life, this is the last thing I can do as a father." ”

"It's just that this son has affected my Chen's reputation, which is really embarrassing, and I can't be reappointed in the future!"

Hao Meng smiled and nodded hurriedly, "In this case, I will go back and inform the prince." ”

The moment he turned to leave, his expression immediately retracted, and he tilted his head in confusion.

After a short time, he returned to the lobby on the upper floor of the city gate, and informed Lu Bu of the matter with a fist salute.

Several people were amazed, and almost none of the people present understood the nature of the scholars.

I don't know what Chen Gui means by this.

Lu Bu looked at Cao Bao on the side, "Their father and son, has it always been like this?" ”

"Yes," Cao Bao didn't understand, but he had heard that Chen Deng's family education was very strict, and he grew up under strict teaching when he was a child.

It is not an exaggeration for Chen Gui to have such a reaction, because Chen Deng has disgraced their family, and even such actions may implicate the entire family.

"The people of the Shi clan have always been like this," Cao Bao said immediately after a moment of silence.

"That's right," Lu Bu nodded slightly, as if agreeing with this point of view, "Back then, Dong Zhuo's old thief also said that the people of the scholar clan were very sour and unreal. ”

mentioned Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others did not speak, although they were under the command of Lu Bu after Dong Zhuo was killed.

But he always had some doubts about his loyalty, Lu Bu was like a tiger and wolf, good at fighting and ruthless.

This was the cry of a father-in-law back then...... Because of a woman, she is now called Dong Zhuo's old thief.

"Prince, what is the matter of the people in the city at this time......"

Zhang Liao clenched his fists, and was about to ask if he should continue to use the people of the Chen family, after all, they have a high reputation in Xuzhou over the years.

When he first entered this place to garrison, Zhang Liao knew that although Chen Deng was not very old, he was already a pawn agricultural officer at the age of twenty-two.

The local people's policy of tuntian was repaired, and the farmland was extensively repaired to build water conservancy, so that the land gradually became enriched.

Xuzhou's prosperity in just a few years is inseparable from him.

This person is very good at internal affairs, especially civil affairs, and it is not as simple as a treatise.

He himself went to the fields many times, led people to cultivate together, and widely informed the farmers about the policy of tuning fields.

If Xun Xiao comes to praise him, he will sincerely say that this is an extremely down-to-earth and hard-working village official.

But before Zhang Liao could speak, Hao Meng interrupted him with a smile.

"General!"

Hao Meng smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Chen Gui is like this, on the contrary."

Feeling hatred in his heart, it is better to kill to prevent future troubles. ”

"As for the people, don't care what they do, if they don't obey our military orders, refuse to join the army to catch strong men, and loot if they don't give food, first defend Xiapi and repel Cao Cao."

"Hmph," Lu Bu snorted lightly, he knew that he couldn't do this since he entered the city.

In the past, the city was just done.

But this is absolutely not good, don't you hear the people all over the city talking about Cao Cao's benevolence?

If I'm looting, it's good that there is no mutiny in the city, and now is the time to rely on the Chen family.

Indeed, they should come out and calm the minds of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

Otherwise, it will be even more impossible for Tanxian County to hold on to the back, and this Pi is the strongest barrier.

"No," Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, this matter should be over, and no more mention should be made." ”

"Ha," Hao Meng snorted, and then stood back in his place.

Naturally, he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't have status and power, but he didn't let the people be disturbed after entering the city.

The soldiers and horses under his command were already very unconvinced, and they didn't want a lot of money and food, but they sacrificed countless lives to help others defend the city.

The people of Xiapi will not miss your general at all, and they even look forward to the arrival of Cao's army.

How can this battle be fought?

Hao Meng's thoughts at this time were actually the same as Liu Bei's judgment that day, and they couldn't hold on.

It's just that Liu Bei changed his saying, saying that the solidity of mountains and rivers lies in virtue.

Now it can also be said that the solidity of the territory is in the cohesion.

If the people of a city are united, they will have the same desires and hatred for the same enemy.

Even if there are foreign strongmen, they are all cheap, and they are not afraid of bullying.

……

Lü Bu took Chen Deng and sued him for his crimes, which gradually stabilized the morale of the army and held Cao Cao's several attacks.

The people in the city had to rely on Chen Gui to serve as 2,000 stones, don't drive, stabilize the Quartet, and raise military funds.

Finally, after a long period of attack, Cao's army retreated thirty miles and camped, and the offensive finally eased.

This made the entire Xiapi breathe a sigh of relief.

After the city defense was relaxed, Tanma sent the military intelligence in, and told Lu Bu that Liu Bei was blocked in Xiaqiu and could not march, and at this time, taking advantage of the fatigue of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, he should go south to attack.

The front and back flanks broke the ban, ordered the generals to defend Xiapi, and then the two armies converged to defeat the Cao army.

As soon as Lu Bu knew about this situation, he immediately moved his mind and summoned the civil and military forces to come and discuss!

If you can retreat from Cao's army, I'm afraid you'll be in the war! This opportunity has never always existed, and when Cao Cao recovers, then the siege will come again!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I intend to send troops to Xiaqiu, first help Liu Xuande, and then attack the Cao army together, if it can be successful, it will definitely take advantage of the situation!"

"Only then can you stabilize your footing and achieve a meritorious achievement!"

Lu Bu shook his big hand, his expression was excited, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, the opportunity he was waiting for finally came.

Zhang Liao, the military general on the left, suddenly hesitated.

Really go?

Feel......

Go and it will collapse.
