Chen Deng arched his hand at Tao Qian, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord, please rest assured, if you don't want to fight for this life, you must defend this Pengcheng for the lord!" ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he was also quite moved in his heart, and said softly: "Yuanlong, if it is possible, none of us will die!" ”

"Lord, do you have any way to break the situation?" Chen Deng asked expectantly.

Tao Qian nodded when he heard this, and said: "There is no way to break the game, now I can only think about how to save my life!" ”

After Chen Deng listened to Tao Qian's words, he thought that the other party was going to surrender, so he hurriedly said: "Lord, the soldier dies for his confidant, Yuanlong is willing to fight to the death, and will never surrender!" ”

"Lord, listen to Yuanlong's words, judging from the Cao family's intentions now, even if you surrender, the Cao family will find an excuse to attack you in the future!"

"Since this is the case, it is better to fight to the death, even if we lose, then we have to tear off a piece of meat from Cao Jun's body!"

When Tao Qian heard Chen Deng say this, he was moved in his heart, and at the same time, he also strengthened the thoughts in his heart.

I saw Tao Qian waving his hand at Chen Deng and said, "Yuanlong, I don't want us to make senseless sacrifices, I want to take you away and go to Jiangdong!" ”

"What?" Chen Deng looked at Tao Qian in a daze, his face full of puzzlement.

Tao Qian continued: "Yuanlong, I have some friendship with that Sun Jian, this time, I hope you will go to Jiangdong on my behalf and contact him, hoping to let me wait to take refuge in Jiangdong." ”

After Chen Deng listened to Tao Qian's words, he frowned and said, "Lord, but is this Sun Jian willing to offend that Cao Ang for our sake?" ”

"I believe he will, I will hand over all the remaining Xuzhou troops to him, and only ask him for shelter!" Tao Qian said his thoughts with a serious face.

Chen Deng could see that Tao Qian at this time was determined to do this.

It's just that he can't understand why Tao Qian would make such a decision.

Tao Qian seemed to see what Chen Deng was thinking, so he explained: "I'm already old, I'm afraid I don't have a few years to live." ”

"But you are different, you are still young, and you will have a lot to do in the future, with your Chen Yuanlong's talent, even if you go to Jiangdong, you will be treated very well!"

After Chen Deng listened to Tao Qian's words, he fell silent, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Chen Deng continued to speak: "Actually, for Yuanlong, it is the best choice for you to join the Cao family, but it's a pity that you are working for me now, and Cao Ang may not allow you, so I can't let you take risks." ”

"Of course, you naturally don't have to worry about your family, even if Cao Ang occupies Xuzhou in the future, then you have to count on a family like your Chen family to govern Xuzhou."

"It's just that if you follow me to Jiangdong in the future, then I am afraid that there will not be many chances to come back."

After Chen Deng heard Tao Qian's words, he was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Lord, Yuanlong swears to follow you to the death!" ”

Tao Qian smiled with relief, patted Chen Deng's shoulder and said, "Okay, Yuanlong, pack up, and set off for Jiangdong, here in Xuzhou, I'll give you a hold and delay time!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Deng replied with a serious face, went to pack his things, and prepared to leave for Jiangdong.

At this time, Cao Ang had already set off from Lanling and advanced towards Pengcheng.

Along the way, although the Xuzhou army resisted desperately, it was only able to slow down the pace of Cao's army a little.

On the other side, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao also came to the area of Mount Tai with Zang Ba and others and 3,000 people.

After arriving at Mount Tai, Lu Bu said to Zang Ba and the four people: "You four, hurry up and gather your old troops, so as not to accidentally injure them after the fight!" ”

"Yes, Wen Hou!" Although the four of them knew that Lu Bu was only following Cao Ang temporarily, but this Lu Bu's force value was here, and the four of Zang Ba did not dare to disobey his orders.

What's more, Cao Ang originally asked them to convene the old department, so when they thought about it, they were able to accept it.

The four of them hurriedly split up and went to gather their old subordinates.

As soon as those Taishan bandits heard that the imperial court wanted to appease them, they didn't want to fight one by one, and they all ran to Zang Ba's side.

Soon, there were 30,000 personal soldiers left under Chang Xuan's account.

These 30,000 pro-soldiers are the trump card of Chang Xuan, and they are also the elite of the Taishan bandits, and each of them has the lives of ordinary people in their hands, so they all seem murderous.

However, this is still a bit unsightly compared to Cao Jun's army of a hundred battles.

Among the camps of Chang Xuan.

When he learned that the four guys from Zang Ba came back to gather the old ministry and wanted to take those people to Cao Ang together, he couldn't help but scold.

"These four soft bones want to be groveling minions, so they surrender to Cao Ang, I don't want to live that kind of life of looking at people's faces, isn't it good for Lao Tzu to be the king of the mountain here?"

In front of his subordinates, Chang Feng complained fiercely about the four of Zang Ba.

And Chang Xuan's subordinates are also outlaws, they are all lazy and used to it, so naturally they are not willing to go to Cao Ang, and they are constrained by the various rules and regulations of the regular army.

Chang Feng knew the thoughts of his subordinates, so he walked out of the camp and said to the remaining 30,000 people: "What kind of bullshit Lu Bu is, who claims to be the best in the world, but didn't he become the dog of the Cao family?" ”

"Such a person dares to say that his martial arts are the best in the world, and I am the first to disagree!"

As Chang Xuan's words fell, his subordinates shouted in unison: "Dissatisfied, dissatisfied!" ”

Seeing this, Chang Feng showed a bright smile, and then said: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's behead Lu Bu, kill Zang Ba and the others, and take back the military power in their hands!" ”

"At that time, we will attack Lanling and break the Cao army, then this Xuzhou will be our Xuzhou! Take Xuzhou! ”

After Chang Feng boosted his morale, the outlaws under him shouted in unison: "Kill Lu Bu and take Xuzhou!" ”

Thirty thousand people shouted in unison, and the voice went far away.

Lu Bu and the others naturally heard this shout, and then he looked at Zhang Liao on the side with a strange face: "Wen Yuan, this voice came from the camp of Changyi, did this kid drink too much and dare to say such big things?" ”

"Just because he is a waste, he is already a rabble under his command, and he wants to kill me and take Xuzhou? What a dream! (End of chapter)
