When Lu Yi heard Chen Deng say this, he didn't come back to his senses.

Fell for Cao Cao's strategy?

What did he do if he fell for Cao Cao?

Could it be that Cao Cao fell for Yan Xiang's strategy and was forced to temporarily give up the siege of Shouchun and take Xuzhou first?

Chen Deng saw that Lu Yi hadn't understood yet, so he continued: "General Lu and Cao Sikong now have two important cities to fight for, Shouchun and Xuzhou. ”

"General Lu thinks that for Jiangdong and Cao Cao, Shouchun or Xuzhou, which is more important?"

Lu Yi: "."

Chen Deng asked himself and replied: "Xuzhou is important to Cao Sikong, but it is not urgent. ”

"First, Xuzhou is too far away from Xudu, and even if Cao Sikong occupies Xuzhou, he is unable to govern it."

"Even if he takes Xuzhou, he can only find another hero to control."

"Second, Xuzhou is the land of four wars."

"Whoever takes Xuzhou will have to go through continuous wars."

"Hebei Jizhou has obviously suppressed Youzhou Gongsun Zhan."

"Whether General Lu believes it or not, Gongsun Chan will die."

"Once Yuan Shao occupies Youzhou, then he has no place to conquer in the north for the time being, and his eyes will definitely be set on the south."

"There are two ways to go south."

"All the way from Xudu south to Xiangyang, then go straight to Jiangxia, and finally lead to Jiangdong."

"Another road, from Qingzhou south to Xuzhou, then straight to Guangling County, and finally to Jiangdong."

"Once Cao Sikong occupies Xuzhou, in the future, he will have to face Yuan Shao on two fronts alone."

"Yuan Shaobing is strong and strong, and Cao Sikong's current strength is not an opponent at all."

"Not to mention facing Yuan Shao on two fronts."

"However, if General Lu occupies Xuzhou, then Cao Sikong will have someone to share the pressure."

Lu Yi's face changed suddenly.

What he has always thought about is that if he takes Xuzhou, he will enter the north in the future and retreat to defend Guangling.

Chen Deng's words made him sober up instantly.

His enemies weren't just Cao Cao!

Now the most powerful is not Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao of Hebei!

In the original history, Yuan Shao's strength was so strong that after the defeat in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao did not dare to go north half a step before he died.

Now that he has just taken over Jiangdong, the people's hearts have not been completely attached, how can he have the ability to face Yuan Shao?

Chen Deng saw that Lu Yi understood, and said: "Therefore, the seizure of Xuzhou is just Cao Sikong's plan to attack the east and the west, which not only lures General Lu to seize Xuzhou, but also relieves him of the danger of Jiangdong occupying Shouchun." ”

"Shouchun is so close to Xudu."

"Once Cao Sikong makes any moves, if Jiangdong occupies Shouchun, he can launch a surprise attack on Xu Du as soon as possible."

"If that's the case, Cao Cao can only tie his hands and feet."

"And now, Cao Cao has taken the lead and will definitely occupy Shouchun, and Jiangdong is already passive."

"If you want to get Shouchun back, it's even more difficult."

"Cao Sikong is not Yuan Shu."

Lu Yi was remorseful.

I didn't think of this step!

His mind didn't turn a corner, and no one turned a corner for those civil ministers and military generals under him.

Yan Xiang is also very talented.

However, in this regard, too.

Lu Yi could only sigh.

Professional strategist.

I still lack one or even several professional strategists.

Chen Deng said: "Although I said that, General Lu can't change the situation at this time. ”

"Cao Sikong, before coming, he must have arranged a way for someone to quickly win Shouchun."

"Even if General Lu goes back at this time, it is certain that Shouchun will be taken by Cao Sikong."

Lu Yi poured a sip of tea and calmed down.

He really felt like he was banging his head against a wall.

According to Chen Deng's analysis, his seizure of Xuzhou was simply a big injustice for Cao Cao.

Not only that, but also lost one of the most important cities: Shouchun!

He had a good fantasy with Yan Xiang before, and wanted to use Yuan Shu to contain Cao Cao.

It's really too simple to think of the ancients.

Especially a hero like Cao Cao.

Lu Yi looked at Chen Deng and said, "So, Brother Yuanlong came this time, what did he teach me?" Now that you are Lu Bu's staff, it is impossible for you to come to me in the middle of the night, just to tell me that I have been tricked, right? Moreover, now that I have made mistakes, I can only make mistakes and continue to make mistakes. ”

"Whether it is now or in the future, I have to face Yuan Shao, I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. In this case, I will take Xuzhou. ”

"If you don't take it now, when Cao Cao frees up his hand in the future, and then joins the battle, I don't even have the qualifications to take Xuzhou."

Chen Deng nodded secretly.

As soon as he pointed out the problem, he was frightened.

But he was able to calm down in such a short period of time, he is indeed not an ordinary man, he is a person who does great things.

At the beginning, when Tancheng and him met for the first time, his father said that this Lu Envoy Jun was not an ordinary person.

It's just that I didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning.

After all, it's just a small other department.

Moreover, even in the face of mistakes, he was able to immediately adjust his mindset and stick to his goals.

It's also nice.

As a prince, the most taboo thing is indecision and indecision.

As far as he is concerned, Shouchun has been lost, and no matter how much he regrets it, it will not help.

Although it will be difficult to take Xuzhou in the future, whether it is won or not, Jiangdong will have to face the problem of Yuan Shao going south or Cao Cao going south in the future.

In that case, it's better to take the opportunity to take it now.

Otherwise, once Cao Cao frees up his hands in the future, he will join the war for Xuzhou.

At that time, it is really uncertain whether Jiangdong can take Xuzhou.

At this moment, in the face of Lu Yi's inquiry, Chen Deng said with a serious face: "This is the second thing I came to discuss with General Lu. ”

After a pause, Chen Deng mustered up the courage to say: "I can make an internal response to General Lu, divide Lu Bu's army, and make it easier for General Lu to take Xuzhou." ”

"Lu Bu has two armies under his command, and they are very brave."

"Although Jiangdong's strength is strong, it is not easy to gnaw them."

"Most likely, there were also heavy casualties."

"In this situation, Jiangdong must also try his best to take Xuzhou, and at the same time, reduce losses as much as possible."

Lu Yi nodded.

Chen Deng said: "Of these two armies, one is Gao Shun's trapped camp. ”

"Although this army is only more than 700 people, less than 1,000 men, it is all heavily armoured and wears long-handled weapons, short-handled weapons, bows and arrows."

"Every soldier is not only physically strong, but also versatile."

"Under the leadership of Gao Shun, there are many enemies, and there are often things."

"The other army is Zhang Liao's cavalry."

"There are only 800 Zhang Liao cavalry, and all of them are veterans who have followed Zhang Liao over the years."

"After every big war, choose the best in the army and supplement it."

"Every cavalryman is brave and good at fighting, and he is very brave."

"Zhang Liao also has 3,000 spearmen, and they are all fierce and fearless of death."

"The most critical issue is that Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are both brave and resourceful people."

"To be honest, under Lu Bu's account, the threat of these two people is far greater than Lu Bu himself."

"Under Lu Bu's account, the most dangerous thing is these two people, then Chen Gong, and finally Lu Bu."

"If General Lu runs into them, it's really not a good thing."

"Another one, a thousand armies are easy to obtain, and one will be hard to find."

"Didn't General Lu think that he also had this kind of general under his command?"

"Jiangdong, I also know a little about it."

"Now, General Lu's subordinates are all Sun Ce's generals, and General Lu has no real generals of his own."

"Moreover, those generals in Jiangdong are not Chen Deng who underestimates them, but they lead the troops to fight alone, and they really do not have special talents."

"This is the second thing I came to discuss with General Lu."

"If General Lu can guarantee that after taking Xuzhou, he will appoint me as the Taishou of Pengcheng or the Taishou of Guangling, I can help you lure away Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and let Cao Sikong leave, so as to prevent him from suddenly intervening when General Lu is conquering Lu Bu."

"Admittedly, he won't stop it this time."

"However, let General Lu lose his troops and lose his generals, and he will also have some benefits in fighting with General Lu in the future."

After Chen Deng finished speaking, he stared at Lu Yi deadly.

He was not sure that Lu Yi would agree to this request.

As long as he is a discerning person, he can see that there is only one reason why he wants Pengcheng Taishou or Guangling Taishou.

That is, it can echo with the Chen family in Xiapi.

What he has to do is to protect his family and ensure that it can prosper for a long time.

But any prince on either side, he believes, will doubt his intentions.

Especially in these war-torn times.

It is suspected that he will occupy the land at that time, control Xuzhou, and become a hegemon.

Moreover, this suspicion, no matter how he explained it, was useless.

In times of war, oaths and promises are the most unreliable things.

No one dares to bet.

Therefore, he was not prepared to promise Lu Yi that he would not have the intention of controlling Xuzhou in the future.

In fact, if Jiangdong really can't help him defend Xuzhou in the future, he will definitely rebel for the safety of his family.

He will not be like Lu Kang, who once guarded Lu Kang, and carried his clansmen to fight for the imperial court.

He has always believed that his family is alive and has the energy to do other things, including allegiance to the court.

And if your family dies, then everything is meaningless.

The world's dynasties are constantly changing, and no court is worthy of eternal allegiance.

However, the bloodline can be passed down through the ages.

Lu Yi looked at Chen Deng.

He was not surprised at all when the other party made this request.

Before the crossing, in the history books he had read, Chen Deng was the kind of person who was desperate for the sake of his family.

Many people say that he is two-faced and three-stabbed, and the wall is grassy.

However, Lu Yi has always thought that if he can be a fellow of such a person, he must be happy.

Looking through history, how many so-called famous generals, for their loyalty, brought their people into a situation of no return.

These celebrities have indeed gone down in history.

But who has asked if his people are willing?

On the contrary, Lu Yi was still a little excited.

From tonight's conversation with Chen Deng, it can be seen that Chen Deng is indeed a very strategic person.

In the original history, Chen Dengwu was also good, and led troops to defeat Sun Ce several times.

It can be said that he is an all-round talent similar to Zhuge Liang.

Moreover, the other party is a captain of the agricultural school, and he is very good at appeasing the people and recuperating.

Since Shouchun is lost, after taking Xuzhou, Jiangdong will enter a short period of recuperation.

I need a master who is proficient in this area to help me.

I need a professional strategist to assist me.

His brother-in-law Zhuge Liang is naturally the best candidate.

But now, he is still too young, and he has to wait.

And before the brother-in-law grows up, someone has to plan for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi stood up and walked towards Chen Deng.

Nangong Yan opened her eyes suspiciously.

Chen Deng also stood up, looking a little vigilant.

What is this about?

Lu Yi stopped in front of Chen Deng, bowed solemnly and said, "If Brother Yuanlong helps me capture Xuzhou, I am willing to choose the Chen family to be the county guard of Pengcheng." Moreover, I hope that Brother Yuanlong can become my military general, as my mastermind, giving me advice and assisting in governance. ”

Lu Yi's answer directly stunned Chen Deng.

He never expected that Lu Yi not only agreed to his request, but also gave him higher courtesy on his request.

After a while, Chen Deng came back to his senses, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "General Lu's love, Chen Deng is grateful. However, how can Chen Deng be able to become the mastermind of General Lu? General Lu only needs to promise me ahead-"

Lu Yi held Chen Deng's hand, interrupted his words, and said with a serious face: "I know that Brother Yuanlong is extremely talented, which is rare in the world. Before I was in Tancheng, I admired Ling Zun and Ling very much, and I wanted to work with you. It's a pity that I was just a small subordinate at the time, and I was not qualified to do so. ”

"I also know that Brother Yuanlong is concerned about the Chen family."

"It's human nature."

"However, Brother Yuanlong, the rise and fall of a family is very cramped by only shrinking into a city."

"In case of a change of dynasty in the future, higher magnates will have to bring down your family, and when the time comes, the world will be peaceful, and you will be in a humble position, how can you resist?"

"Assist me, Brother Yuanlong!"

"I promise, Brother Yuanlong, you just need to do your best to show your talent, and I will maintain the prosperity of you and your family."

"If Jiangdong dominates the world in the future, and Brother Yuanlong, you and the Chen family of Xiapi are still nameless, then I, Lu Yi, will apologize for my crimes."

Chen Deng looked at Lu Yi in a daze.

This little other Sima of the old years, what is he talking about!

He is the lord of Jiangdong, a prince, how can he make such a promise so easily!

However, meeting Lu Yi's sincere gaze, Chen Deng slowly knelt down.

Nevertheless.

He didn't feel the absurdity.

On the contrary, he felt touched inside.

Moreover, the other party knows exactly where his ambitions lie.

He really only thinks about maintaining the stability of the family, and doesn't do anything else he thinks.

But now, there is a fire in his heart, which makes him unable to calm down.

He wanted to give it a try, under this man's hands, to show his skills!

Chen Deng said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your lord's trust, Chen Deng is willing to do his best and die!" ”

Lu Yi hurriedly hugged Chen Deng, knelt down against him, and said with a smile: "Don't!" You can promise to be my general, I can't sleep with joy. I also hope that you will always assist me in my battles, and that you will be healthy and happy. If I wear you out, who will do it for me? ”

Nangong Yan laughed silently, shook his head, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

Chen Deng stood up and met Lu Yi's gaze, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, my lord." As long as the lord is willing to use Chen Deng, Chen Deng does not dare to die. ”

Lu Yi hurriedly asked Nangong Yan to wake up the subordinates, cook a few snacks, and then wake up Lu Su, Liu Ye and Yan Xiang, and tell them about the plan.

Lu Su, Liu Ye, and Yan Xiang were all stunned.

After that, Lu Yi told Chen Deng about Lu Su's siege plan.

Chen Deng looked at Lu Su with a smile and said, "This is Brother Zijing's strategy?" Young, but quite insightful. ”

Lu Su was praised by Chen Deng, and couldn't help but be a little overjoyed.

Chen Deng said: "This siege is feasible. However, the time to attack the city must be chosen at night, so as to avoid anyone finding the dead entering the city from the mountains. ”

"At that time, I will also find a way to divert the eastern patrol, just in case."

looked at Lu Yi again and said: "The city of Weitai is broken, the lord must not kill." Also, when the time comes, I won't be able to meet with the lord for the time being, so I have to go back to Xiapi first and mediate with Chen Gong, so as to force Cao Sikong back, and at the same time lead away Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. ”

"During this period, I also troubled the lord to secretly send people to make an appointment with me to transfer my old father and family members from Xiapi."

After a moment of silence, Chen Deng said: "The best way to reduce the losses of Jiangdong soldiers is to break the embankment and flood Xiapi." ”

"There is not much grain stored in Xiapi City."

"After the water floods, the soldiers of Lu Bu will not last long, and they will definitely be chaotic."

"At that point, two scenarios can happen."

"First, Lu Bu's subordinates rebelled, captured Lu Bu, and dedicated it to the lord."

"If this is the case, please kill Lu Bu."

"Although Lu Bu is brave, he is always ambitious, and he does not want to live under others for a long time, and the lord is no exception."

"Being captured and surrendered this time, he must be unwilling in the future, and rebellion is very likely."

"It's a pity, but kill him in case of trouble in the future."

Lu Yi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Chen Deng continued: "The other is that Lu Bu sacrificed his daughter, please surrender. ”

"That's true, lord, you will marry his daughter, and then transfer his wife and concubine to Guangling County."

"At the same time, the lord set a goal for him, if he can lead the army to take Qingzhou, let him be the pastor of Qingzhou."

"Although Lu Bu is two-faced, he is the only one who loves his relatives very much."

"Binding his wife and daughter is tantamount to tying his hands."

"Allow him to go to Guangling County every year to meet his wife and concubine, so that he does not dare to forget his situation."

"Marrying her daughter and promising him the position of Qingzhou pastor is to give him a little fantasy."

"Although he cannot dominate the world, his descendants have the possibility of dominating the world."

"And although he can't be hegemonic, he can also be a hegemon under the hegemony of future generations, which can be regarded as a good ending for him."

"If this is the case, the lord can still take advantage of the situation to take down Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others."

"Gao Shun and Zhang Liao don't say it."

"Chen Gong, although I don't like him, and even, I have a grudge against him. However, this person is indeed very resourceful, and he knows Cao Sikong well. ”

"In the future, with his assistance, the lord will have a better chance of winning against Cao Sikong."

"However, this man has a stubborn temper, eats soft rather than hard, and does not like the lord of suspicion."

"If the lord wants him to assist, he will definitely visit him in person to give him face."

Lu Yi smiled: "I remember all of these." ”

With a professional strategist, it's different.

Everything is clearly thought out.

Chen Deng stayed for a while before leaving under the watchful eyes of Lu Yi, Lu Su, Liu Ye and Yan Xiang.
