Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, sat facing each other.

At this time, Chen Gui said to Chen Deng:"Today, the father and son of Xtai and Yuan Shu are attacking Xuzhou together. Xuzhou can't support itself alone. And I heard that Tao Gongzu is seriously ill and cannot afford it. For the sake of our family, we need to make plans early."

Chen Deng He said:"Does father have anyone in mind?"

The so-called candidate is the person who takes over Xuzhou.

Historically, neither Liu Bei nor Lu Bu were the candidates in Chen Gui and his son's mind.

Because Chen Gui and his son were very accurate in judging people, they knew that neither Liu Bei nor Lu Bu would do much in Xuzhou.

For the sake of the continuation of the family, and for Xuzhou to avoid war and restore peace as soon as possible, the two father and son worked hard to clear the way for Cao Cao to enter Xuzhou.

However, now that Cao Cao was driven to Wancheng by Zhou Cheng, he was temporarily unable to go north to Xuzhou.

Chen Gui said:"If Cao Mengde does not retreat to Wancheng, I may intend to welcome Cao Mengde into Xuzhou."

Chen Deng nodded and said:"I also have this intention, but it's a pity... ugh."

With a helpless sigh, then , Chen Gui said:"Although Yuan Jiujiu occupies Yuzhou and Yangzhou and has many soldiers and generals, he has known him since he was a child. Yuan Jiujiu is brave, foolhardy, arrogant and arrogant, so he will not last long." Chen

Deng also said:"Yuan Jiujiu has known him since childhood." If the incompetent people on the road surrender, they will be dead soon."

Chen Gui added:"Although the father and son of Xtai are brave, they are temporarily attached to Yuan Jiuji. If they compete with Yuan Jiuji, they may not be able to win."

Yuan Shu evened it out. No matter how incompetent he is, he still has two states and hundreds of thousands of troops and horses.

However, Sun Jian and his son only had tens of thousands of troops and horses in Jiangdong. How could they defeat Yuan Shu?

What's more, there is still Liu Biao. What if Yuan Shu joins forces with Liu Biao to attack Jiangdong?

Moreover, as the battle line lengthened and Sun Jian and his son's troops dispersed, how could they defend Xuzhou?

Therefore, Chen Gui and his son were not optimistic about Sun Jian either.

Later, Chen Gui mentioned Liu Bei again and said:"Although Liu Xuande is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, and his troops are also good at fighting, he also lacks troops and horses and it is difficult to gain power."

Chen Deng said:"Xuzhou today is a place of four battles. If this were not the case, Liu Xuande would He is a benevolent master."

Chen Gui continued:"Now, the most powerful person in the world is the Zhou thief. However, if we are eager to join the thief, we will be laughed at by the world."

Chen Deng said:"With the Zhou thief Ambition is a matter of time in the south. Now that its army is attacking Bingzhou, its intention is to unify the north first."

Father and son Chen Gui and Chen Deng have both visions.

Although Zhou Cheng went south many times over the years, twice he came directly to Cao Cao.

Originally, Chen Gui and Chen Deng were optimistic about Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was defeated miserably at the hands of Zhou Cheng twice, losing his troops and generals, and finally fled to Wancheng in embarrassment.

These are things that are obvious to all.

Zhou Chengjie controlled Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, and indirectly controlled Luoyang.

Although he did not explicitly hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor in Luoyang was already controlled by Zhou Cheng.

Fight with strategic intent, know how to advance and retreat, act within your capabilities, and will not be greedy to occupy land.

Coupled with Zhou Cheng's own bravery, the army became strong.

No matter how you analyze it, he is currently the most suitable candidate for 'Ming Zhu'.

However, Zhou Cheng's background was problematic. He was a rebel and he came from a humble background.

Today is a world where the scholar-bureaucrat class controls power. Zhou Cheng's identity is undoubtedly an alternative and out of tune with the times.

However, even if Zhou Cheng's background is problematic, Zhou Cheng's strength is there.

Chen Gui said:"Hey, if the Zhou thieves unified the north and moved south, with the bravery of the Zhou thieves and the strength of their troops, Yuan Gongluo, Liu Xuande, and Xtai's father and son would be no match for him."

Chen Deng said,"Father, you can We pretended to welcome Yuan Gongdao and ordered him to temporarily stay in Xuzhou, waiting for the Zhou thieves to go south, and then deal with them. If Cao Mengde is unable to go north, we must make a choice for the sake of our family and Xuzhou."

Although Chen Gui said it euphemistically, he did not say that he would Surrender to Zhou Cheng, but Chen Deng, like Chen Gui, is a person who understands current affairs.

It is only a matter of time before Zhou Cheng unifies the north. Of course, if Cao Cao can achieve something in Wancheng, it is not impossible to hope.

It's just that Cao Cao lost to Zhou Cheng twice. If he fights against Zhou Cheng again, the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, made the 'appropriate' choice.

First sell Xuzhou to Yuan Shu, and then sell it to Yuan Shu when Zhou Cheng goes south. As for whether to sell it to Cao Cao or to Zhou Cheng, it depends on the strength of both parties.

……

October 196 AD.

While Chen Gui and Chen Deng were actively planning to welcome Yuan Shu to Xuzhou, Han Sui was finally persuaded by Xu You.

It's not that Yuan Tan's proton is so important.

But Han Sui thought that Yuan Shao was at the end of his rope.

Under Zhou Cheng's offensive, Yuan Shaodu sent protons to gain Han Sui's trust.

If Yuan Shao is defeated and retreats to Yongzhou, and Zhou Cheng continues to lead his army to pursue him, then it will only be a matter of time before Zhou Cheng borders Liangzhou.

In these years, Zhou Cheng fought in the north and south, and even Huangfu Song was defeated, and Huangfu Song's head was cut off.

Therefore, Han Sui believed that Zhou Cheng was extremely threatening.

Yuan Shao's presence in Bingzhou was like a barrier to Liangzhou, able to resist Zhou Cheng.
