Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 623 You Need To Think Twice About This Matter
"Chen Deng met Yuan Gong!"

After Chen boarded Yuan Shu's so-called emperor's car, he saluted Yuan Shu respectfully.

But Yuan Shu waved his hand to Chen Deng, and said in a somewhat dispirited manner, "Yuan Long doesn't need to be polite, Yuan Long came here to let Lu Bu's trilogy come to an end! I have made a decision on this matter, and Yuan Long doesn't need to say more! Oh, Yuan Long is a man of literature and Confucianism, so he must not be good at battles, no problem, no problem, then Yuan Long will stay in my car, and I will send someone else to lead Lu Bu's trilogy!"

Yuan Shu seemed to have guessed that Chen Deng might have come here for the reason he appointed Lv Bu's army to end the army, but Yuan Shu had already planned to take the opportunity to weaken the troops left behind by Lv Bu, and to use up Lv Bu's army as cannon fodder. In this way, when he arrived in Xuzhou, he could naturally occupy the original Lu Bu's territory more easily.

Of course, Chen Deng was still useful in his eyes, so he didn't intend to let Chen Deng become cannon fodder, but he could stay by his side and walk together.

It can be said that before Chen Deng could say anything, Yuan Shu had already determined the matter, and immediately blocked what Chen Deng wanted to say.

Chen Deng was taken aback for a moment, thought about his words in his mind, and then said again, "Mr. Yuan, you have to think twice about this matter! Now that Lv Bu still has some prestige in the army, although he has concealed the news of Lv Bu's death for the time being, the army's original There is some suspicion, and the death of Gao Shun and Chen Gong will also make the army's morale unstable. Now if he is asked to wait until the end, I am afraid that he will have no intention to contribute. If he surrenders Cao Cao and Zhu Wei before the battle , didn’t they lose tens of thousands of troops in vain!”

"Mr. Chen's words are wrong. As Mr. Chen said, Lv Bu's army has not yet returned. If he retreats all the way to Xuzhou, once he knows that Lv Bu is dead and makes a mess, wouldn't it ruin your Majesty's important event of taking Xuzhou! Now It is possible to leave Lu Bu's confidantes behind and let Zhu Wei and Cao Cao kill them. In this way, there will be no obstacles to Xuzhou! As for him who wants to surrender the enemy before the formation, he can follow suit. This can also delay Zhu Wei, Cao Cao Cao Cao's pursuit will also allow His Majesty to safely escape from the crisis! Now, Your Majesty's safety should be the first priority, and a few Lu Bu's soldiers are nothing!"

After hearing Chen Deng's words, Yuan Shu hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's counselor who was also in the car, did. One, but he was obviously able to ponder Yuan Shu's thoughts, and he could make Yuan Shu happy when he said the words.

In fact, Yang Hong is more concerned about his own safety at the moment, but his current safety is also tied to Yuan Shu, so as long as it can keep Yuan Shu safe, he doesn't care about Lu Bu's soldiers.

"Well, that's right. As soon as I arrive in Xuzhou, I can recruit new soldiers. Now Lu Bu's army can only use five or six thousand elite soldiers, and the rest are mostly young and strong soldiers. Even if they stay, it will be useless. Now if It would be useful for him to stop Zhu Wei and Cao Cao from pursuing them!"

Yuan Shu had been persuaded by Yang Hong before to make such a decision. Hearing Yang Hong's words now, he naturally insisted on this opinion.

However, what Yuan Shu said was true. Lv Bu brought only eight or nine thousand veteran soldiers from Bingzhou when he joined the coalition this time. , 6 people.

However, in the previous attack on Cao Cao, when Lu Bu withdrew his troops, he also encountered Cao Jun's counter-surprise and ambushes. As a result, Cao Jun killed three or four thousand elite troops. Now the real elite troops are only five or six thousand people.

However, most of these elite soldiers are also Lu Bu's confidantes, and it is not easy to change their minds. If you want to make them surrender, it is better to just use them as cannon fodder, and waste some of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's troops.

Hearing these words, Chen Deng was tongue-tied again. The remarks he had prepared before felt useless for a while, and after thinking about them, Chen Deng said, "Mr. Yuan's intention, Deng, I understand! However, just like Yang According to Chang Shi, there may be Lv Bu's confidantes in Lv Bu's army who can take the opportunity to eliminate them, but there are other people who may also be available! Just imagine, Yuan Gong, if our army returns to Xuzhou this time, there will be no one left in Lv Bu's army. If the division is reserved, the generals such as Zhang Liao and Wei Xu who stayed behind in Xuzhou must have different ideas in their minds. At that time, it will be very difficult to persuade them to surrender! If Yuan Gong still needs to use troops when he arrives in Xuzhou, wouldn’t it be another matter for him? This is Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's chance!"

"Well, this..."

Yuan Shu also pondered when he heard the words. Although he is arrogant, he also knows his current situation. If he runs to Xuzhou now, but is rejected from the city by the generals left by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, then why does he still need to use troops? Can Xuzhou be controlled by attacking the city of Xuzhou?

Based on the current situation of his army, after he arrived in Xuzhou, he might not be able to fight any battles. Originally, he thought that when he arrived in Xuzhou, he could directly enjoy the family property left by Lu Bu.

Therefore, Yuan Shu couldn't help looking at Yang Hong who was at the side, and Yang Hong stroked his goatee and said, "Since that's the case, what can Mr. Chen do to offer it to the lord?"

"Yuan Gong, it's better to leave Lu Bu's confidant army behind, and Yuan Gong will send troops to supervise them, ordering them to be the death of Yuan Gong, and Deng will continue to lead the way for the vanguard with the rest of the people. At the same time, Deng can also be in Xuzhou Speak up for Yuan Gong and the internal response, if Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others still refuse to accept it, they can break through the city and kill them!"

As long as Chen Deng can lead the way for Yuan Shu with a part of his troops, his goal will be fulfilled, so he doesn't care about the elite soldiers left behind by Lu Bu.

However, his strategy is feasible. After all, there are only elite soldiers on Lu Bu's side who can fight bravely. It is meaningless for ordinary soldiers to stay, so why not let Chen Deng take them to Xuzhou as an internal response, at least You can first enter the city where Lu Bu left Zhang Liao and the others stationed.

Even if there is a fight at that time, Chen Deng can lead his troops to help Yuan Shu break the city.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chen's strategy is also feasible, and it will also save Lu Bu's army from fighting back!"

Yang Hong supported Chen Deng's strategy, so he also expressed his approval to Yuan Shu. After all, it was in line with the strategy he proposed to Yuan Shu before.

"Well, that's fine, then Yuanlong will select the soldiers in Lu Bu's army, let Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing lead the troops, and I will send Le to lead [-] soldiers as the warlord. If Lu Bu's army violates Order, then kill them together!"

Yuan Shu also had nothing to do with this, and he didn't care much about the three generals under Lu Bu's account, so he just let them be cannon fodder.

"promise!"

Chen Deng achieved his goal, so he didn't have any other words, and he agreed directly. For him, the three generals Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing are not important, as long as he can complete his task, who cares? They live and die.

So Chen Deng quickly left Yuan Shu's car and drove back to the place where Lu Bu's army was stationed, and conveyed Yuan Shu's meaning to Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing.

Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but look at Chen Deng with a bit of anger, obviously they also saw the smell of being betrayed...
