Chen Deng is such an intelligent person, he immediately understood the meaning of Lu Bu's words. Although Guangling is important, it is much worse than Pengcheng. The current situation in Pengcheng is very tense, and Yuan Shu may attack the city at any time. Stationed outside Pengcheng to face Yuan Shu's army.

This way of fighting has both advantages and disadvantages. From the perspective of Xuzhou, it is a good choice, but it also gave up the strong city.

Once Yuan Shu found out about Lu Bu rushing to help Guangling, Yuan Shu would definitely not let it go.

Chapter 303 Appointment of Chen Deng Hou Cheng

The cavalry is an important force in the Xuzhou army. When the Xuzhou army does not have enough cavalry as a threat, what will Yuan Shu do?

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said: "The humble official must do his best. If the city is destroyed, the humble official will not survive."

Lu Bu said: "What's the use of your life, this Marquis. I have handed over Guangling to you again. I don't want to hear the news that the Jiangdong Army broke through Guangling."

"Here." Chen Deng's heart warmed up. After experiencing failure, he was still able to gain such trust from Lu Bu, which made him deeply feel the importance of Lu Bu.

How many people dream of following such a monarch.

No matter how much talent a person has, if he is not appreciated, his talent can only be hidden. Chen Deng's ability is not weak, and he was reused after he joined Lv Bu. Chen Deng will be extra careful and try to avoid such things from happening.

"The safety of Guangling is related to the stability of Xuzhou. Xuzhou does not know how many families there are in the dark. They are watching the changes in Xuzhou's situation. If the troops under the command of the Marquis, even the mere Jiangdong Army can't stop them, wouldn't it be a joke? .”

"I understand the humble job." Chen Deng felt a heavy responsibility. Just as Lu Bu said, Xuzhou is indeed in the most urgent moment.

The reason why Chen Deng was appointed again was also because of the loyalty Chen Deng showed in an emergency, and he was able to swear to the death in such a critical situation. Such a courtier is worthy of reuse.

Regardless of Chen Deng's intentions, Lu Bu still accepted this love.

"What does Feng Xiao think of the current situation in Guangling?" Lu Bu asked. The reason why Guo Jia was brought here was to make suggestions and avoid losses in the hands of the Jiangdong Army.

Strategies have a vital impact on the war between the two armies, and the role that a resourceful man can play cannot be ignored.

And the young Guo Jia used strategy to impress the generals in the Xuzhou army.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, at present our army is occupying Guangling, but there are not many troops in the city. Even if we replenish our troops from the young and strong, it is still difficult to fight against the enemy. There is no battle in Xiapi now, so why don't you go down?" Pi's army dispatched part to Guangling to resist Jiangdong's army."

Lv Bu nodded slightly and said: "The words of filial piety are very true. Quickly pass on the order of the Marquis, and let Mi Zhu send [-] troops to Guangling."

"Here." Guo Jia cupped his hands.

With 500 people from Xiapi, plus the defenders of Guangling, the number reached more than [-]. With the strong city of Guangling, it is no problem to stop the Jiangdong Army's attack.

"Guangling is still under the control of our army. Sun Ce will definitely not retreat. As expected, the Jiangdong army will definitely occupy Jiangdu, waiting for the lord to lead the troops to retreat, so as to send troops to capture Guangling again." Guo Jia said.

Lv Bu snorted coldly, "If it weren't for Pengcheng's affairs, I would have let Jiangdong's army come and go."

How could Chen Deng not feel the helplessness of Lu Bu? The situation in Xuzhou is critical, and many burdens are placed on Lu Bu. As a member of the Chen family in Xuzhou, Chen Deng is naturally aware of the thoughts of some officials in Xuzhou. If Lu Bu shows enough strength If they are strong, they will not easily betray Lu Bu.

Once the Xuzhou army loses or is at a disadvantage against Yuan Shu, it is time for these officials to jump out. The families behind these officials care about the interests of the family, and they will not follow Lu Bu's tenacious persistence. The most important thing is that the interests of the family will not be damaged in the battle.

In the past, Chen Deng would have the same idea, but now it is different. After the Guangling battle, he has more recognition for Lu Bu. From the bottom of his heart, he has already recognized Lu Bu's rule in Xuzhou.

Lv Bu is a military general, and in the eyes of the world, he is reckless and vulgar, and even Lv Bu has a bad reputation, but Chen Deng, who really got in touch with Lv Bu, has a different view.

Lu Bu is the monarch, so he has a sense of being valued, and Lu Bu has created miracles in the past. According to the ideas of the princes, Lu Bu should have been kicked out of Xuzhou long ago, but Lu Bu has gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou step by step. , such a monarch, wouldn't people have more expectations.

"Little Sun Ce, sooner or later, the Marquis will settle today's affairs with him." Lu Bu said solemnly.

The atmosphere in the arena did not look relaxed because Lv Bu led the cavalry to victory, but rather solemn. Those who participated in this discussion felt the tense situation in Xuzhou.

Hou Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Master, as long as the last general is still in Guangling for a day, he will not let the city fall into the enemy's hands."

"Martial Hou, help Yuanlong with all your heart," Lu Bu said.

Chen Deng was slightly taken aback. Before Hou Cheng came to Guangling, it was to divide the power in his hands and prevent him from becoming too powerful. Now Lu Bu's words are asking Hou Cheng to help him. It will always make people feel a little weird, but This also shows that Lu Bu has truly accepted him from his heart.

"Here." Hou Cheng cupped his fists and said, he didn't have any doubts about Lu Bu's order.

For the affairs in the city, Lu Bu temporarily handed them over to Chen Deng and Hou Cheng.

After the previous incident, Lu Bu believed that Chen Deng and Hou Cheng would definitely be more careful. Even if the Jiangdong Army made a comeback, there would not be much result.

"In that case, Benhou can only return to Pengcheng as soon as possible?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia nodded with a heavy expression, "My lord led the cavalry to rescue Guangling. After Yuan Shu knew about it, he would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My lord has a high prestige in the army, and he is also the commander of the Xuzhou army." , if you leave the Pengcheng army for too long, there may be other changes."

Lu Bu naturally heard the worry in Guo Jia's words, "Could it be that officials in Xuzhou dare to betray the Marquis at this moment?"

"It is inevitable that there will be Xiaoxiao people in the dark. Yuan Shu is a member of the Yuan family of four generations and three generations. The influence of the Yuan family is too great. My lord has to be careful." Guo Jia said.

After taking refuge in Lu Bu, Guo Jia was highly valued, and now he has been appointed as the military advisor of the Xuzhou Army. He has received such attention at such a young age, and Guo Jia is also more attentive when doing things. Normally, Guo Jia is a free and easy person. When encountering a war, Guo Jia will be extra cautious.

As a counselor, one must take the situation on the battlefield into account as much as possible. Only in this way can timely responses be made according to changes in the situation, so that the monarch can avoid making mistakes.

Chapter 304 Yan Xiang's Conspiracy

If the Xuzhou army makes a strategic mistake, it will be the most fatal blow to the current Xuzhou.

"Now the Jiangdong army can only garrison Jiangdu. As long as it is difficult to break through Guangling, it will be difficult to pose a real threat to Xuzhou. After the lord repels Yuan Shu, the Jiangdong army will definitely retreat." Guo Jia said.

Lu Bu nodded. Judging from the current situation in Xuzhou, he had to admit Yuan Shu's influence among the princes.

Sun Ce's army is not weak, and at this time Yuan Shu has the help of Huns cavalry, the battle in Xuzhou is even more unpredictable.

When Yuan Shu has the strength to compete with the Xuzhou cavalry, the battle between the two sides will definitely be more tragic. Even if Lu Bu wins this battle, the Xuzhou army will be seriously injured.

"Okay, according to the words of filial piety, after two days, Benhou will lead the cavalry back to Pengcheng." Lu Bu said.

"My lord is wise."

Lu Bu is domineering, but he can still see the situation in Xuzhou clearly. Xuzhou has fallen into an emergency situation. This is why Lu Bu did not dispatch the Langxie army to enter the battlefield in Xuzhou. No one is sure. , Will the Qingzhou Army take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou at this time?

It is good to have the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. If Liu Bei sees the opportunity, how can he give up easily? Zhang Fei is under house arrest in Pengcheng, which will be a big restraint for Liu Bei, but Liu Bei is a hero, when he sees the real benefits At that time, he would not give up attacking a rich place like Xuzhou because of Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei bought people's hearts in Pingyuan County, and he has a good reputation. The formation of the army is also quite fast. At present, both sides are safe and sound, and even the envoys sent by Liu Bei are very respectful after they come to Pengcheng. Based on Liu Bei.

The chaotic Guangling gradually stabilized after the arrival of the Xuzhou Army, and the people dared to go out of their homes. People in troubled times are the most vulnerable.

Just like this Guangling war, the Xuzhou army rushed to help in time and defeated the Jiangdong army, but many soldiers of the Jiangdong army took the opportunity to break into the homes of the people, and they turned their butcher knives on innocent people.

If Guangling City falls under the control of the Jiangdong Army, the people of Guangling will suffer even greater harm.

The soldiers and cavalry patrolling the city made the people feel at ease.

After receiving Lu Bu's order, Mi Fang, Prime Minister of Xiapi Kingdom, immediately dispatched a large army to Guangling.

The Mi family is bound together with Lu Bu, if Lu Bu fails on the battlefield in Xuzhou, what price the Mi family will bear.

In Pengcheng, the armies of both sides are still in a state of confrontation.

The sudden dispatch of a large number of scouts by the Xuzhou army made it difficult for the scouts in Yuan Shu's army to get close to the Xuzhou army camp, which aroused the speculation of the counselors in Yuan Shu's army.

In the past, although the scouts of the two sides would have clashes, the scouts in the army could still get close to the Xuzhou military camp. The cavalry was very fast on the battlefield. As long as they were careful, they could still bring back more information about the Xuzhou army.

Now the scouts of the Xuzhou Army have stronger control on the battlefield.

"My lord, from the point of view of my subordinates, there must be a reason for the Xuzhou army's change." Han Yin said with certainty.

The counselors in the tent quite agree with Han Yin's words.

Now is the critical moment of the battle between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. The armies of both sides will have a large-scale war at any time. The more they are at this time, the more they must maintain absolute vigilance.

Lu Bu was brave and good at fighting, and Xuzhou's army was elite, which put a lot of pressure on Yuan Shu's counselors and generals.

Now Yu Fuluo is leading the cavalry to search for the hidden cavalry of the Xuzhou Army in Runan. The army lacks an important force to restrain the cavalry of Xuzhou, which will have a great impact on future wars.

Letting the Xuzhou cavalry in the rear will inevitably make people feel uneasy. Once the Xuzhou cavalry finds a large army food route, it will bring a fatal threat to Yuan Shu's army.

"What do you think of the master?" Yuan Shu turned his attention to Yan Xiang.

After the failed raid on the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop last time, Yuan Shu seemed to not pay as much attention to Yang Hong as before, and Yang Hong rarely expressed his opinions in front of everyone.

Yan Xiang cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the cavalry is the most powerful in the Xuzhou army. Now that the Jiangdong army is attacking Guangling, could it be that Lu Bu wants to send cavalry to help Guangling?"

"Furthermore, news came from the detailed work that no trace of cavalry was found in the army. From the humble point of view, as long as a little probing, you can know the changes in Xuzhou's army."

"Master, just say it clearly." Yuan Shu nodded with a smile.

The counselors and generals in the tent all turned their eyes to Yan Xiang. Now Yan Xiang has a high status in the army. Even the generals in the army are very respectful when they see Yan Xiang, and they dare not make more mistakes. Once again, a counselor can reach such a position not only relying on the trust of the monarch, but also relying on his own ability.

There is no shortage of proud generals in the army, and it is conceivable how difficult it is to gain their approval.

Yan Xiang said: "Now there are more than a thousand cavalry in our army. My lord only needs to order the cavalry to go to the Xuzhou military camp to fight, and then we can find out whether Lu Bu sent reinforcements to Guangling."

"Lu Bu is a proud person. It would be the strangest thing if he didn't make a move when confronted with a challenge."

Yuan Shu nodded approvingly, "Okay, according to the master's words, General Ji Ling led the cavalry to fight."

"Here." Ji Ling clasped his fists and said.

The previous confrontation with Lv Bu caused considerable damage to the generals in Yuan Shu's army, and Ji Ling was even defeated by Lv Bu, which had a considerable impact on Ji Ling's position in the army. Yuan Shu's order was Let the cavalry go to fight, and the competition is the strength of the cavalry of both sides.

Ji Ling is quite relieved about the characters who have completed this time. The cavalry is the most elite existence in the army, and the weapons they are equipped with are also incomparable to ordinary infantry.

In Yuan Shu's army, the cavalry has a very high status, and many infantry are striving to become cavalry.

Moreover, the cavalry has undergone the most rigorous training, and they will become Yuan Shu's sharp weapon on the battlefield. If he does not have enough means, how can he do it.

After the news that Ji Ling led the cavalry to fight outside the camp spread among the Xuzhou army, the generals in the army were furious. These people were just defeated under Lu Bu's men. Now they dare to come to fight in the army. guts.

Jia Xu had a pensive expression on his face. The enemy army had obviously discovered something when they fought at this time.

Now there are less than 500 cavalry in the army, but there are more than a thousand cavalry who came to fight the enemy cavalry.

Chapter 305

It is obviously difficult to fight against Yuan Shu's more than a thousand cavalry with less than 500 men.

If the cavalry in the army fails, it will inevitably have an impact on morale. After the victory, maybe Yuan Shu will have more actions.

Gao Shun came out and said: "The military division is just a mere cavalry team, and the general is willing to lead the trapped camp to fight."

"General Gao's elite soldiers are bound to be able to take on heavy responsibilities. General Xu leads the cavalry in the army to prepare in case of accidents." Jia Xu nodded in agreement.

Outside the camp, although the cavalry in Yuan Shu's army were arrogant, their caution could be seen from their movements.

The Xuzhou cavalry has left a lot of impressions on them during this time. The Xuzhou cavalry is famous for its bravery. The scouts of both sides have often fought on the battlefield, but every battle ended with the scouts in Yuan Shu's army being severely damaged.

This is often the case, causing the cavalry in Yuan Shu's army to be quite afraid of serving as scouts.

It is not easy to become a cavalry, and no one wants to die in a fight with enemy scouts.

Ji Ling stared at the camp of the Xuzhou Army with piercing eyes.

The gate of the village was wide open, and a group of infantry walked out of the camp. Such a situation made the cavalry behind Ji Ling a little stunned. All the troops on his side were cavalry. Why did the Xuzhou army use infantry to fight against cavalry? There is no chance of winning with infantry against cavalry .

Lu Bu should be clear about the destructive power of cavalry in battle.

This kind of situation also reassured the cavalry who followed Ji Ling. When facing the Xuzhou cavalry, they were lacking, but it did not mean that they would be afraid of infantry. If they were cavalry, even the infantry could not repel them. , Wouldn't it be a joke to spread it out.

Ji Ling's eyes tightened, "It's in the camp."

"General, what is trapped camp?" A general asked puzzled.

Ji Ling said in a heavy tone: "It is said that there is an infantry in the Xuzhou Army, called the Suppressed Camp, equipped with hundreds of refined weapons, and can even fight against cavalry without losing the wind."

The generals in the army didn't take it seriously when they heard the words. In their view, infantry was infantry, and it was wishful thinking to win the battle against cavalry, and they even contemptuous of Ji Ling's cautiousness.

"The officers and soldiers of the messenger army, don't slack off." Ji Ling warned.

Ji Ling has only heard about the prestige of the trapped camp, and has never really fought against the soldiers of the trapped camp. It is precisely because of this that he will be more cautious. The combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou Army cannot be underestimated. Not only do they have elite cavalry, but the infantry are also brave Good at fighting.

"General, this is also an opportunity for our army. The trapped camp has such a great reputation among the enemy troops. After defeating the trapped camp, the morale of the Xuzhou army will definitely be low." A general said with bright eyes.

Being trapped in the camp, equipped with a hundred-refined weapon, may be a terrifying existence among infantry, but it is not enough to put it in front of the cavalry. Perhaps it only takes one charge to make the trapped camp collapse.

"I led the cavalry here, but I didn't expect Marquis Wen to be so arrogant. He just sent infantry to fight." Ji Ling shouted.

Gao Shun laughed and said: "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? To deal with you weak cavalry, the general's soldiers are enough."

The generals around Ji Ling looked at Gao Shun with hatred, because they looked down on the combat effectiveness of their cavalry, who were proud.
