Although Chen Zhi followed Liu Bei, he has always been a transparent figure and very inconspicuous.

The most memorable thing under Liu Bei's account is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Then there are Jian Yong, Mizhu and others.

Chen Zhi is unknown, and other princes will leave out Chen Zhi when they investigate Liu Bei's news.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much, thinking that Chen Zhi was just a junior general and a personal guard beside Liu Bei.

Moreover, Chen Zhi rarely appears in front of people, and he is the most suitable for escorting Chen Deng to Yanzhou.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are too obvious, if these two people don't appear by Liu Bei's side for a day, they will attract the attention of others.

Chen Deng said: "Chen Zhi is now training white-eared elite soldiers for the lord, how can he leave easily." ”

"The lord doesn't need to worry, just go to Yanzhou, the Chen family's guards are enough to ensure my safety."

Chen Deng didn't want Chen Zhi to follow him.

He went to Yanzhou to meet Cao Cao, and it was impossible for him to simply borrow troops from Cao Cao.

If it was just like this, Cao Cao would not have lent him troops.

Cao Cao would choose to sit back and watch Liu Bei and Lu Bu lose, and then he would take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou.

Chen Deng wanted Cao Cao to send troops, and basically agreed to Cao Cao some conditions in private.

If it's just someone else, it naturally can't be done.

However, the influence of the Chen family in Xuzhou is stronger than that of the Mi family.

It can be said that whoever Chen Deng is on will be able to control Xuzhou.

Chen Deng stood here with Liu Bei, so after Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei became the pastor of Xuzhou.

If Chen Deng is on Tao Qian's son's side, then even if Tao Qian's son is useless, after Tao Qian's death, his son will accept it.

It's just that I don't know if I can hold it later.

The Chen family's influence in Xuzhou is significant.

No matter who it is, after occupying Xuzhou, they must reuse the people of the Chen family, otherwise they will not be able to control Xuzhou at all.

Chen Deng almost already knew that this time he went to Yanzhou, he needed to agree to Cao Cao's conditions, and these conditions must not be known to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi knew, which meant that Liu Bei knew.

Chen Deng is still eating under Liu Bei, even if the Chen family is powerful, Liu Bei can't do without the Chen family if he wants to control Xuzhou.

But killing a Chen Deng, there is no problem.

After all, Liu Bei didn't want to kill him for no reason, but Chen Dengxian betrayed him and secretly contacted Cao Cao.

Although Chen Deng has no intention of betraying Cao Cao now, he just wants to find a way back for himself.

But it's not easy for Chen Zhi to know.

None of the lords, knowing that their subordinates, began to look for their next home before they had fallen.

Liu Bei will not be an exception.

"It's okay, the white-eared elite soldiers can be put aside for a while, it's not too bad for ten days." Liu Bei said affectionately: "If it weren't for Yun Chang and Yide being too conspicuous and letting them follow Mr., I would be able to rest assured." ”

Chen Deng was moved: "Lord, I ...... The lord is about to start a war with Lu Bu, and the training of the white-eared elite soldiers cannot be delayed for a day. ”

Moved is moved, but Chen Deng still disagrees with letting Chen Zhi follow him.

He told Liu Bei that there was a fifty percent hope.

But in fact, if he only went by himself, Chen Deng would at least eighty percent likely to come to Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

But if Chen Zhi followed, the possibility that Chen Deng would ask for soldiers and horses from Cao Cao would be less than thirty percent.

In fact, whether it was for Chen Deng himself or for Liu Bei, Chen Deng would not let Chen Zhi follow.

Even if he would agree to Cao Cao with some conditions, it would not touch Liu Bei's current interests.

He just wanted Liu Bei to fail, so he could leave a way out for himself.

He is not like Mi Zhu, who did not put the entire family on Liu Bei.

He needs to make sure that his people and his family can prosper for a hundred years.

Although he submitted to Liu Bei, in Chen Deng's heart, his own family was more important.

Liu Bei saw that Chen Deng insisted on not wanting Chen Zhi to follow, so he had to give up.

sighed: "Sir, don't be careless on this trip, I will wait for the good news of this gentleman." Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I only hope that Mr. can return in good condition. ”

"Don't worry, my lord." Chen Dengdao.

Don't Chen Zhi guard, Chen Deng naturally thinks that he will be fine.

Facing Cao Cao, Chen Deng was sure that Cao Cao would not kill him.

As long as it is not Cao Cao who wants to kill, others want to kill Chen Deng, but it is not so easy.

Even if he took Chen Dao, if Cao Cao wanted to kill Chen Deng, Chen Deng would still be unable to escape death.

Chen Deng went to Yanzhou this time, as long as he guarded against Lu Bu.

His whereabouts must not be discovered by Lu Bu.

As for the other dangers, only the bandits along the way remain.

But with the Chen family guards, Chen Deng didn't need to worry.

It is dangerous for ordinary people to walk in the wilderness, but for people from families like Chen Deng, there is nothing.

Half of the thieves, when they saw the Chen family's guards, took the initiative to get out of the way, and they didn't dare to do anything at all.

Only those extremely powerful bandits dare to make a move.

But they don't necessarily have to make a move.

What the bandit wants is wealth.

Chen Deng's trip was to borrow troops from Cao Cao, and he didn't bring much property at all, just enough to use on the road.

As long as the bandits are not stupid, they will not come to rob Chen Deng.

And Chen Deng himself is not a powerless scholar.

The long sword he wore at his waist was not an ornament, but also drank the blood of his enemies.

On the same day, the news of Chen Deng's illness came out in Picheng.

Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others all came to Chen's house to visit Chen Deng.

The next day, Liu Bei took Guan Zhang and the others to visit.

On the third day, Chen Deng began to close his doors, saying that he wanted to recuperate for a while.

On the night of the third day, Chen Deng quietly left the Chen family's mansion with his guards, and then left Xiapi City and headed all the way to Yanzhou.

He was accompanied by only a dozen or so guards.

Except for Chen Deng, those guards did not have war horses.

It's not that the Chen family can't afford to buy war horses, but now the north is all under Zhao Hui's control.

The war horses that the horse dealers bought from the grassland couldn't bring them with them at all.

Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao did not have many war horses, and it was very difficult to form cavalry.

With Yuan Shao's previous strength, there was only a cavalry of about 2,000 people.

Liu Bei is even more straightforward now, there is no cavalry at all.

It's just a few generals, and what scouts are there to explore the horse, so they are equipped with a war horse.

Like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's war horses, they are all relatively good war horses.

And those scouts and scouts can only use some ordinary war horses.

Almost all the war horses in Xuzhou have been gathered in Liu Bei's hands, and there are less than a thousand.

The horse dealer who funded Liu Bei's uprising has long since disappeared.

The northern defense line is fully controlled by Zhao Hui.

Even if there are some people who are willing to take risks and continue to transport war horses, they will be caught by Zhao Hui's people quickly.

Because of the existence of Zhao Hui, there is now a shortage of war horses in the Han Dynasty than before.

Xianbei and Karasuma are now under Zhao Hui's control.

No one dared to sell the war horses to those horse dealers in the open.

And to go to the Huns to do business, the risk is even greater.

There were no acquaintances in the Xiongnu, and even those who were bold did not dare to trade with the Huns easily.
