Zhang Han and Xi Zhicai stepped forward, their faces were quite serious, and they took the seal, sword, and a petition from the elders, people, and local officials from all over the country.

This is the power of the world, Zhang Hanxin said.

Although he knew that the Chen family had no intention of Lu Bu and had the intention of returning to Cao, he still felt very terrible when he really saw this scene.

They secretly possessed great fame and connections, and they could take advantage of Lü Bu's expedition to open the city to meet the enemy and lead everyone to surrender.

This is just like what, Yanzhou Zhang Miao and Chen Gong opened the city gate to welcome Lu Bu, but now, they are still governing their bodies in the way of others.

This was Zhang Han's intention, and after discussing it with Xi Zhicai for a long time, he finally informed Cao Cao that he had set up this rather complicated strategy.

In Zhang Han's words at the time: "This plan should be set up as an old mother wearing a bad omen, one after another." ”

He still remembered that after saying this sentence that night, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were not good, and they felt that Zhang Han had insulted the art of war.

Isn't this a serial scheme?!

What old sow wears a bad omen, this is too much, it seems to have been scolded but can't be sure, so Cao Cao resolutely deducted Zhang Han for a month.

Zhang Han scolded a few Cao thieves in his heart, win-win for each other, everyone has face, and no one has fallen behind.

So, according to Zhang Han's assumption, Xi Zhicai's wisdom, Cao Cao's sense of tactics, and the terrain and military situation sent by Liu Bei, after real repeated discussions, this military strategy was obtained.

And their ultimate goal is actually Xuzhou Xiapi! At this time, the Chen clan will definitely seize this only opportunity to isolate Lu Bu and drive him out of Xuzhou.

First, morally, Xuzhou has been suffering from Lu Bu's politics for a long time; Second, from a strategic point of view, Lü Bu had been sent out of the city by a large army, and was trapped on the border of Pengcheng, and the timing was excellent; Third, in terms of affection, the Chen family still owes Cao Cao the original affection, and at this time, there will be a meritorious reward, and Cao Cao will owe favors.

So, after the soldiers approached the Lu army, a letter was directly sent to the Chen family through the letter horse line that Chen Deng left for Xi Zhicai.

Chen Gui is the most powerful person in the Chen family today, and he immediately decided to join Cao, as for the voice in the territory, he Chen Liangchen has a hundred ways to suppress it without loss.

In this way, Lu Bu and Chen Gong should be very familiar with it, this is exactly the same as the strategy when they wanted to seek Yanzhou.

In terms of military strategy, Cao Ren constantly involved Lu Bu in accordance with the strategy set before, making him think that he was fighting fiercely with him, including cutting off his grain route after going around, also to induce.

Stopping Lu Bu and preventing him from returning to Xiapi would have plenty of time to wait for Chen's response, and Cao Cao was confident that these clans would make the most suitable choice.

If Tao Qian was still there, he would not be confident, but Tao Qian entrusted it to Lu Bu, which is intriguing.

"Sacrificial wine, Bochang," Chen Deng arched his hand, his expression slightly complicated.

Xi Zhicai said: "Yuanlong, what the letter says is clear enough, and my lord will definitely remember this work." ”

"Please enter the city!" Chen Deng took a deep breath, got out of the way, and welcomed Cao's army into the city to garrison.

As before, after entering the city, he did not commit any crimes against the people, and together with the Chen family and the major clans, he gave porridge and grain to the homeless people, and paid money to organize doctors to treat the injured.

Cao Hong had no complaints about this, but just sat in the city tower, self-denial, and at the same time persuaded Lu Bu to surrender to the old department left in Xiapi.

At present, there are not many defenders in Tancheng, but Lu Bu's family and Chen Gong's new family are in Tancheng, this city is said to have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to take it down.

The battle was originally a difficult battle, and the casualties were incalculable. But the siege shall not be until the army is exhausted, and the city shall fall.

That night, Zhang Bochang and Xi Zhicai were invited to Chen Deng's mansion for a banquet, and went into the inner courtyard to have a secret conversation late at night.

"Ji Boxiao, guard the door."

"Yes, sir!" Ji Boxiao's body was shocked, his face showed pride, he clasped his fists and saluted, and at the same time looked at Chen Deng angrily, and said coldly: "If there is an assassin ambush, the last general will protect each other with death, so that the villain with a vicious mind will not succeed!" ”

He warned Chen Deng not to play tricks, but his words were very straightforward, and he dried up the green tendons on Chen Deng's forehead at once.

When Chen Deng was about to speak, Ji Boxiao walked out of the room quickly and closed the door for them.

This man...... Chen Deng was strange for a while, looked at Zhang Han, then at Dian Wei, and chose to sit down safely from the heart. I don't care about you in general.

After a few people sat down, Chen Deng said: "At the beginning, Tao Gong left a few roads before retreating. ”

"One of them is that Lu Bu is unkind, if there is a grievance from the people, he can replace it, so my father is willing to submit, and he is only taking one of the roads."

"Oh?" Xi Zhicai and Zhang Han showed puzzled looks, and their eyes at Chen Deng were much more exciting, they knew that Tao Qian had allowed his entire family to return to Danyang and preserved his heirs hidden in the mountains and forests, and there must have been many means and arrangements in this.

Because when he took office, he was involved in the major families funded behind him, and if he wanted to retire, of course, he also had to take into account the families who supported him.

From this point of view, Tao Qian made a lot of arrangements at the beginning, but it is also worth listening to as a story.

"Let's talk about it." Xi Zhicai seemed to have captured something, and immediately asked.

"First, Tao Gong let Xuzhou and others, if the family leaves, it will not be considered a betrayal, but Lu Bu has no benevolence and makes the people complain, and it is time to turn away and throw himself into the land of benevolence and righteousness."

Second, Tao Gong deposed many famous people from the Shuren faction with criminal responsibility, and at the same time confiscated part of the family assets to fund the Danyang army, so that both sides were stable and there was no turmoil. The Shuren faction can get out, and the Danyang soldiers can be rewarded with military money. ”

"Third, the old part of Danyang is two, one of which is that you can follow it back to your hometown, and the other part is that you can choose whether to belong to it, and those who return to their hometown will be rewarded."

"In this way, there is no need for Tao Gong to say more, after the three orders are issued, almost everyone knows what he wants."

Chen Deng paused when he said this, and the introduction ended in just a few sentences, but the information conveyed in it was embarrassing.

In just a few days, he gave up everything and made up his mind to go into hiding, this sincerity is also worthy of admiration, and his vision is indeed far-reaching, and there is no need to consult with others under the three strategies, it is equivalent to informing the people of the three factions.

"What I want to say is," Chen Deng's face was serious again, and he leaned closer to the two of them a little, and said, "Many of the soldiers and horses of the Danyang faction have friendships with Zang Ba, and this is a great gift to our local scholars and people to the benevolent lord." ”

"When Tao Gong was in power, he had a little kindness to Zang Ba, so he was willing to send troops to Kaiyang to reject Cao Gong, but after the old Danyang department was dispersed, at least half of the people defected to Zang Ba, and I stopped them, these people were panicked and didn't know how to deal with themselves, if they could be recruited with this, and use them to persuade Zang Ba......"

Chen Deng's words were all this, so that the two of them fell into deep silence, Zhang and Xi were both thinking at the same time, Zang Ba gathered more than 20,000 people, and Tao Qian funded a large amount of military money, so he had to accumulate armaments, plus there were many brave people under his command, and they had become a force to be reckoned with.

Originally, it would take a lot of energy to exterminate, and it would take a lot of money to win over, but now after taking Xuzhou, it may have a chance to issue a recruitment order.

Chen Deng saw that the two of them were already thinking, and immediately said: "Zang Ba gathers people, controls the realm by force, and does not respect the orders of the imperial court, but it is only an expedient measure, and in the end, he still has to go to one of the princes, so this time he recruited by the messenger, and let Lu Bu's old acquaintance who surrendered to negotiate with him." ”

"In this way, the Kaiyang troops will be withdrawn, and Bao Xiang in the northern land of Yanzhou can take advantage of the situation to enter Langya from Mount Tai and control a large territory."

"Good! This is possible. Xi Zhicai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Chen Deng differently, this person has a big trend in his heart, which shows that he has far-reaching vision, has a very high strategy, and is also a sage.

What surprised Xi Zhicai the most was that once Chen Deng made up his mind, he would rectify Lu Bu in the dead and pull him up from the root, worthy of being a family member, really vicious!

"However, I still have one more thing to ask, you may guarantee to expel Lu Fengxian, since the matter has come to this point, it is time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and completely exterminate it outside the city."

Chen Deng picked up the bowl and said in a rather calm tone.

Then I found that there was nothing in the bowl, and I put it down naturally, and the scene was suddenly quiet.

Zhang Han: "Did you serve the bowl just now-"

Did you try to pretend to be forced, but failed......

"Bo Chang!" Chen Deng hurriedly interjected, interrupting what Zhang Han was about to ask.

Don't say it, ask for face.

"Talking about Lu Bu...... Chen Deng looked at Zhang Han resentfully.

I've just been emotionally mobilized, and you're making me ...... How embarrassing.
