"Order troops! Order troops!"

Although Lü Bu was brave and foolhardy, he was also very receptive to advice at certain times.

Chen Gongjin said that this was a good opportunity to attack Xudu, and Lü Bu, who was angry with Cao Cao because he couldn't marry his daughter, immediately took it.

"Then Cao Cao insulted me too much and said that my tiger girl can only be a concubine!

This time, even though they broke off diplomatic relations with Yuan Shu, Liu Biao secretly supported Zhang Xiu in sending troops.

How could I let go of this opportunity to raid Xudu!

It also helps Cao Cao know that I, Lu Bu, am not someone to be bullied!"

Lü Bu shouted angrily as he put on his armor.

The drums of the gathering troops rumbled throughout the fields of Xiapi. Gao Shun led the camp, Zhang Liao led the Yanmen cavalry, Xu Dan led the Danyang troops...

Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Song Dynasty Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Qin Yilu and other brave generals under Lu Bu also led their own troops to join together. Naturally, such a movement could not be hidden from Chen Gui and Chen Deng.

They learned that Lu Bu was going to send troops to attack Xudu. , Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son were both shocked when they were coordinating Yuan Shu and Liu Biao Zhang Xiu.

When Chen Deng went to Xudu to see Cao Cao, he had secretly expressed his intention to submit to the Cao family and his son. He also made an appointment with Cao Cao in Xuzhou. As internal agents, they secretly restrained Lu Bu.

Once Cao Cao comes to conquer Lu Bu in the future, Chen Gui and Chen Deng will lead their troops to respond and rebel against Lu Bu.

But the premise of everything is that when Cao Cao comes to conquer Lu Bu.

Before that, Chen Gui and Chen Deng Although Deng and his son had some followers, they were not enough to compete head-on with Lu Bu.

Now Liu Biao secretly sent more troops to Zhang Xiu, which restrained Cao Cao's main force. This was something no one had thought of before.

Without Cao Cao's cooperation, Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Chen Gui and Chen Deng to raise an army to stop Lu Bu.

After all, the strength lies there.

Although Lu Bu was brave and unintelligent, Chen Gong was there to assist him. His subordinates, such as Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, were all elite soldiers. Will

"I went to Xiapi to dissuade Lu Bu. Now Cao Sikong and his son are restrained, leaving Xu Du empty.

If Lu Bu is really allowed to attack Xudu, Xudu will be in danger.

Cao Sikong and his son will also be surrounded on three sides by Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, and Lu Bu, and are in danger of destruction!

By that time, Lu Bu's power will grow stronger, and he will be even more powerful in Xuzhou!"

Chen Deng took a deep breath and said.

This time, he is in danger!

Because the situation is here, Chen Deng may not succeed if he tries to persuade Lu Bu at this time, and may even be exposed and his life is in danger.

The gray-haired Chen Gui, He immediately shook his head:"No!

Earlier you went to Xudu and brought back the news that Cao Sikong had accepted Lu Bu's daughter as his concubine.

Lu Bu was stubborn and regarded it as a humiliation, and he was angry with Cao Sikong.

However, he became enemies with Yuan Shu because he kidnapped Han Yin, Yuan Shu's envoy, and sent him to Xudu to be beheaded.

487 Therefore, Lu Bu felt evil in his heart, but he was just holding it back.

Now that Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Zhang Xiu have joined forces to attack Cao Cao, Lu Bu saw an opportunity to vent his anger, and he couldn't persuade him with words!"

"What's more, when we came back from Xudu, Lu Bu was already suspicious of us because what he asked for couldn't come true, but Cao Sikong gave you and me father and son titles.

Although you explained to Lu Bu at that time that Cao Sikong said that Lu Bu was a hawk, and only by not feeding him enough could he have the motivation to hunt, which made Lu Bu's face improve and dispelled his doubts about you.

But if we go now, with Chen Gong by his side, he will definitely be found out.

Not only will it have no effect, but it will also cost you your life! Chen

Gui's words made Chen Deng sigh and nod:"I also know that going here is a bit dangerous, but if we can't stop it, everything will be in danger."

Not to mention Cao Sikong, Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu are talents of Qilin and have the talents of dragons and phoenixes, and they act with benevolence and righteousness first. If they can grow up, they can be the wise masters who end the troubled times.

It would be a pity for the world if such a destined son died at the hands of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others!"

Obviously, Chen Deng, who valued Cao Ang very much, was very worried about Cao Ang's safety.

Chen Gui is Chen Deng's old father. Who is more mature and calmer?"My son said that Cao Zixiu is the son of destiny. , just like the young Emperor Guangwu in Wang Mang's last years.

You should also have confidence in this son. Since he is the son of destiny, he should be able to turn misfortunes into good fortune and disasters into good fortune!

When Emperor Guangwu and Wang Mang's army fought in Kunyang, Emperor Guangwu's side only had 20,000 troops, while Wang Mang's army had four to five million, which was called a million.

With such a huge disparity, Emperor Guangwu still defeated the many with less, and with the help of meteorites falling from the sky, he destroyed Wang Mang's army.

If Cao Ang really has the order of Emperor Guangwu, he will also have God's help!

What's more, even if we don't mention the destiny, with Cao Ang's talent, he has 20,000 troops in Chen County. Facing Yuan Shu's 100,000 army, it is not difficult to hold the city and defend it.

Cao Sikong led the main force of Cao's army to confront Zhang Xiu with 80,000 men in Kunyang. Although there was some disparity, the gap was not big.

As long as both sides maintain their defensive positions, over time, the enemy troops will naturally be unable to withstand the exhaustion and withdraw."

"As for Lu Bu's surprise attack from behind, Xiaopei's Liu Bei was present at the first level, which could restrain him a little.

Cao Ren and Xun Yu stayed in Xudu with thousands of troops, while Xiahou Dun left more than 10,000 troops in Chen to defend Yuan Shao.

If they hold on to the city, it will be difficult for Lu Bu to capture Xudu in a short time, and it may turn into a confrontation like the Battle of Puyang the year before last.

At that time, it would be the best time for my father and his son to start another uprising in Xuzhou, cut off Lu Bu's retreat, and demoralize his army. It might be possible to revitalize the overall situation.

The current solution is to be patient for the time being.

At the same time, he sent capable generals to disguise themselves and take the small road to send the news that Lu Bu was about to attack Xudu, as well as the analysis and planning of my father and son, to Cao Ang of Chen County, Cao Renxunyu of Xudu, and Cao Cao of Kunyang respectively, so that they could be prepared. , as a tacit understanding. Chen

Gui's analysis and planning made Chen Deng feel much relieved. He couldn't help but admire his old father and said:"Father is really far-sighted. My son still needs to learn."……"

The implication is that old ginger is still spicy.

……

Two days later.

Chen County, Chen County.

Compared with Xudu and Kunyang, this place is closest to Xuzhou.

Therefore, Cao Ang was the first to get news about Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son.

After reading what was said in the letter, Cao Ang was not surprised when Lu Bu, on Chen Gong's suggestion, took the opportunity to attack Xudu.

Even Cao Ang was not surprised that Liu Biao would secretly join forces with Yuan Shu to support Zhang Xiu in sending troops.

Although Cao Ang now has all his attributes including strategy, courage, and strength, he does not underestimate the heroes of the world.

Lu Bu has no plans, but Chen Gong is not a vegetarian, so it is not surprising that he takes the opportunity to send troops.

As for Jingzhou Liu Biao, perhaps in the minds of many people in later generations, he was just like a good old man who did not stand out among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Even before the decisive battle with Cao Cao, he died of illness in advance.

But this is not the case!

Liu Biao was not only a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but also one of the"Eight Horses" who were famous all over the world.

Eight years ago, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the capital. Liu Biao decisively avoided the trouble and was appointed as the pastor of Jingzhou.

At that time, the world was in chaos. On the way to Jingzhou, there were hordes of bandits and countless soldiers, blocking the main road in Jingzhou.

So Liu Biao abandoned his entourage and escort, and rode alone into Jingzhou via a small road, bypassing the bandits.

At that time, Jingzhou was also leaderless, and bandits emerged in large numbers, occupying the prefectures and counties.

Liu Biao single-handedly recruited the local aristocrats Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, etc., and used both kindness and power to eliminate all the banditry in Jingzhou and quickly eradicate all the banditry in Jingzhou and take control of Jingzhou.

With such means and courage, how could he really be a good guy?

What's more, after Zhang Ji came out of Guanzhong last year and wanted to seize Liu Biao's Rangcheng, but was shot dead by a stray arrow, Liu Biao was not happy and even expressed self-blame in public.

So Zhang Xiu and other members of Zhang Ji's tribe returned to Liu Biao and attached themselves to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao used Zhang Xiu to garrison Wancheng as a spear in Liu Biao's hands. He harassed Xudu several times while Cao Cao was fighting other princes to weaken Cao Cao's power.

In this way, the flames of war and crisis were suppressed outside the hinterland of Jingzhou, allowing Liu Biao to love the people, nourish his people, recuperate, and accumulate strength.

In history, Liu Biao befriended Yuan Shao from afar and attacked Cao Cao from close range, practicing Qin's technique of making close contacts with Yuan Shao and destroying the six kingdoms.

And he successively accepted Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei as his wings to compete with the north.

Even Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, and Jiang Xia, who wanted to plot against Liu Biao, died at the hands of Liu Biao, and died in the same way as Zhang Ji, by random arrows.

To sum up, how could Liu Biao be an incompetent person? (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Therefore, Cao Ang was not surprised that Liu Biao would secretly send troops to support him, and he had already been prepared.

He first led Chen County's 20,000 troops to camp out of the city in order to let Ji Ling and Qiao Rui see that Cao Ang's full strength was here.

Immediately facing the challenge of Ji Lingqiao Rui's front battle generals, Cao Ang led three generals, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, and Wang Yanzhang, to appear one after another and won three games in a row. Ji Lingqiao Rui's morale was low and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

Cao Ang even made another preparation.

If Ji Lingqiao's generals are unfavorable in the battle and immediately launch a general attack, Cao Ang will also face him head-on.[]

He would take the lead with the thousands of strong crossbowmen left by King Chen Liu Chong and kill a wave of enemy troops first.

Then, with the iron spear Wang Yanzhang and the tiger fool Xu Chu as the vanguard, they led the elite (bfeh) infantry and cavalry to break into the enemy's army head-on.

Even though Ji Ling Bridge has 100,000 troops, the fighting surface is limited within a certain range. It is impossible for all the 100,000 troops to engage in battle with Cao Ang's elite vanguards. Most of them can only cheer from the outside to support the scene.

With the bravery of Xu Chu and Wang Yanzhang, Ji Lingqiao Rui did not have any decent generals under his command, so he would definitely be killed through the front line.

If Ji Lingqiao Rui pressed forward with the remaining troops at this time and wanted to trap Xu Chu and Wang Yanzhang in the formation, then Cao Ang would lead a group of heavily armored infantry with Dian Wei to attack from the enemy's left flank and disrupt their position..

Li Cunxiao will lead a cavalry force to break into the enemy's right flank.

With Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao's unparalleled bravery, they suddenly penetrated the enemy's flanks with one step and one ride. Even well-trained elite soldiers may not be able to resist.

What's more, although Yuan Shu's soldiers and generals are numerous, their combat effectiveness is not very high among the elite soldiers of the princes.

It is far from comparable to Yuan Shao's Hebei elite troops, Lu Bu's trapped camp, Yanmen cavalry, etc.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Ang took these few steps, Ji Lingqiao's 100,000-strong army could not be defeated.

Unless Yuan's army is not afraid of casualties and goes forward one after another to die, and wants to use their numbers to consume Cao Ang's five tiger generals with a rapid offensive, it is possible to trap them.

Otherwise, they can only retreat.

If Ji Lingqiao Rui retreated quickly, he could still save his life and main force.

If he ran slowly, it would not be impossible for him to be decapitated on the spot.

What's more, in addition to the five tiger generals of Chen County, there is also Cao Ang, a top combat power with the power of an overlord, Houyi's Sunset Bow, and full-level marksmanship.

If Cao Ang seizes the opportunity and uses the sunset bow in combination with his marksmanship, he is very likely to kill Ji Lingqiao and Yuan's two generals, Ji Lingqiao and Rui, from five to six hundred steps apart!

The above is Cao Ang's established strategy.

In this way, after a quick battle, Cao Ang can immediately send Dian Wei and Cao Hong to lead 10,000 troops to Kunyang to support Cao Cao.

With the help of 10,000 elite troops trained by Dianwei Cao Hong and Cao Ang, Lao Cao had the confidence to take the initiative to attack Zhang Xiu with 60,000 against 80,000.

General Cao Ang, with his three generals Xu Chu, can pursue Yuan Shu's defeated troops, or march eastward to resist Lu Bu, as he pleases.

However, Ji Lingqiao Rui was clever. After the generals lost three games in a row, he did not immediately launch an attack because he was worried about his morale.

Instead, he decisively withdrew his troops and returned to camp, waiting for a fighter opportunity.

As a result, Cao Ang's preparations for the decisive battle were temporarily useless.

After all, if the opponent does not launch an attack, Cao Ang's first-hand crossbow formation will not be able to work.

If Cao Ang takes the initiative to attack, the enemy's 100,000 troops will defend with their military camps, with thousands of arrows fired, and various defensive equipment.

Even if the five tiger generals can forcefully break through the enemy camp, Cao Ang's soldiers will suffer heavy losses.

Although he is kind but does not command troops, Cao Ang will not do such a thing, killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred.

It is not only uneconomical but also irresponsible to sacrifice the lives of soldiers when you can win at a lower cost.

Therefore, two days ago, after the generals lost three games and Ji Lingqiao Rui chose to retreat temporarily, Cao Ang was sure that they would rest their morale, look for fighter opportunities, and would not launch an attack in the short term.

So according to the original plan, Dian Wei Cao Hong was asked to lead 10,000 troops and leave at night to support Cao Cao in Kunyang.

However, Dian Wei and Cao Hong's camp flags and Cao Ang's banners remained outside the city and did not evacuate.

Cao Ang also asked Luo Jun to mobilize thousands of people from the city, put on the soldiers' armor hoarded in the treasury, and fill up the numbers in the empty camp left by Cao Hong in Dianwei.

Therefore, although Cao Ang currently has only three of the Five Tiger Generals, Xu Chu, Li Cunxiao, and Wang Yanzhang, with only 10,000 troops, he is not afraid at all.

Because in Ji Lingqiao Rui's view, Cao Ang had 20,000 elite soldiers who were always arrayed outside the city.

This secret was not known to Ji Lingqiao Rui, who was stationed in the army and facing off thirty miles away. Therefore, Chen Gui, Chen Deng, his father and his son in Xuzhou, Lu Bu and other people naturally did not know either.

At this moment, looking at the letters from Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son in their hands, their analysis and suggestions on the war situation, and their suggestions that they would look for opportunities to cut off Lu Bu's retreat and create opportunities for Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son to break the siege of the princes, Cao Ang couldn't help but nod.

Historically, Cao Cao commented that Chen Deng and his son were under Lu Bu's command, but responded to Cao Cao's operation to win Xuzhou:"Chen Yuanlong and his son were in a turbulent sea, and they still made trouble for themselves."

Liu Bei also admired Chen Deng very much, saying that Chen Yuanlong's talent should be high. A hundred-foot tall building, Chen Deng's civil and military courage is difficult to compare with in the world. He can only find someone who can match him from the ancient sages.

Now that Cao Ang has seen with his own eyes the analysis and planning of Chen Deng and his son, he knows that Cao Cao and Liu Bei's evaluation of Chen Deng is true!

Although some suggestions from Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, Cao Ang may not adopt them.

But that's because their suggestions are based on known situations, and they don't know that Cao Ang has more cards.

Under various situations known to the world, the suggestions given by Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son are naturally the best strategies.

But now that Cao Ang has so many trump cards and a better strategy to break the situation, there is no need to follow Chen Deng's plan.

Of course, as Chen Deng and his son were so talented, they wanted to return to Cao Ang, and Cao Ang was naturally very happy.

So Cao Ang wrote a handwritten reply on the spot, indicating that he had a strategy to defeat the enemy, so that Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son should not worry, continue to maintain the status quo, and hibernate in Xuzhou as an internal response.

When the war situation changes in the future, they will be notified to provide support and cut off Lu Bu's retreat.

After writing the reply, Cao Ang rewarded Chen Deng's general who delivered the letter with some property and a good meal. After a night's rest, he left before dawn with the reply.

Of course, Cao Ang's specific plan was not written in the letter to prevent it from being intercepted.

Otherwise, if Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son learned about Cao Ang's current operations and plans of leaving only 10,000 soldiers by his side, they would probably be shocked.

I will apply Cao Cao's words in history when he praised Chen Deng to Cao Ang in advance: Cao Zixiu is in the midst of turbulent waves, but he is still wet!

At the same time, Kunyang.

It's still dark.

In the main camp of Cao Cao's army, the lights were brightly lit.

Last night, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You and others spent the whole night discussing strategies to defeat the enemy and were just about to go to sleep.

But suddenly he received a report from the soldiers. Dian Wei and Cao Hong came from Chen County with 10,000 reinforcements.

This made Cao Cao's eyes reddened after staying up all night, and he stood up instantly:"What? Dian Wei and Cao Hong led an army of ten thousand to come to the rescue?

Then where my son Xiu is, there are only ten thousand troops left!

How can he defeat Yuan Shu? An army of 100,000 people!

Who asked them to come back!"
