Chapter 823: Chen Deng's Advice
Pengcheng, Cao's continuous siege of the city, so that the situation in Pengcheng is not very good, Cao's army has 50,000 troops, it is said that it is more than enough to hold Pengcheng with 30,000 troops in the city, if Cao's army is lax, it can even defeat Cao's army in the front, but Cao's army with a thunderbolt will let the defenders get their wish.
After half a month of siege, the moat of Pengcheng has already been filled, the city wall is full of potholes, which are the traces left by the boulders, and the arrow stacks have been destroyed in many places, and the Xuzhou army has once again seen the power of the thunderbolt.
Last time, Cao Jun's preparations were relatively hasty, this time, Cao Cao came with the idea of pacifying Xuzhou, there is an internal existence like the Chen family in the city, and it is not a problem to break Pengcheng, as for Hua Xiong, who is stationed in Xiapi, has not been put in Cao Cao's eyes, since Cao Jun attacked the city, Hua Xiong did not dare to make any moves.
"Big brother, the Cao army outside the city is so arrogant, in the long run, the morale of the army will probably be even more low, that Huaxiong is a villain, the eldest brother was kind enough to take him in, but when Xuzhou was in danger, he did not move." Zhang Feiqi's beard is all open.
Liu Bei said: "Third brother, Cao's army is elite, and there are 50,000 people, and there are probably 300 thunderbolts, in this case, Hua Xiong will definitely not be easily dispatched, the most important thing at present is how to hold Pengcheng, as long as he can hold Pengcheng, Hua Xiong will definitely send troops." ”
There is a deep hatred between Hua Xiong and Cao Cao, and Liu Bei doesn't believe that Hua Xiong can swallow this breath.
"Big brother, that Huaxiong is ungrateful." Guan Yu snorted coldly, he was very disdainful of Hua Xiong's character, and a person who took refuge everywhere for his own interests was the most shameful.
"Yuanlong, the Cao army is attacking the city very fiercely, I don't know what your strategy is?" No matter what kind of behavior Huaxiong is, the most important thing is to hold Pengcheng under the offensive of Cao's army, if Pengcheng can be defended, Xuzhou is his Liu Bei's, if it is difficult to hold Pengcheng, he will have no territory again, as for Huaxiong's matter, it is not too late to talk about Cao Cao after he is defeated.
Chen Deng was silent for a moment and said: "Lord, although the Cao army attacked the city fiercely, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, it is not difficult to hold Xuzhou, the key is how to repel the Cao army, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses of Huaxiong in Xiapi, if Huaxiong can send troops to help, it will become much easier to repel the Cao army." ”
Liu Bei nodded: "It's just that Huaxiong is reluctant to send troops." ”
"As long as you send an envoy to Xiapi to make your interests clear, Hua Xiong will definitely not sit idly by." Chen Dengdao.
"Xianhe, this matter will be a matter for you to go through." Liu Bei set his sights on Jian Yong, and it was Jian Yong who persuaded Hua Xiong to send troops at the beginning, and the two were old acquaintances.
Seeing that Liu Bei really sent Jian Yong to go, Chen Deng smiled secretly in his heart, it was because of Jian Yong's words that Hua Xiong lost the territory of Yuzhou, and sent Jian Yong to go again, Hua Xiong might kill this person in anger, but at this time it was not important in Chen Deng's opinion, he wanted to dedicate Peng Cheng to Cao Cao when Liu Bei was the most relaxed.
Jian Yong said yes, and left quickly, he also saw that Xuzhou had reached the most critical moment, if there was no foreign aid, with Cao Jun, he might be able to break Pengcheng, especially Cao Jun's thunderbolt, for the defenders is a lingering nightmare, although there are 4,000 cavalry in the city, but Cao's cavalry is more elite.
As for the safety of his life, he was confident that he would persuade Hua Xiong to send troops again.
"Lord, the Cao army is attacking the city one after another, and the defense in the camp must be lax, if you send a fierce general to attack the Cao army, you will definitely be able to succeed, and you can also thwart the spirit of the Cao army." Chen Dengdao.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head, it was not the first time that he had attacked Cao Jun, at this time, the three thousand cavalry in the city was Liu Bei's last reliance, and he couldn't bet on the fate of Xuzhou on the fact that Cao Jun would relax and relax.
Zhang Fei suddenly couldn't sit still when he heard this, and shouted: "Big brother, Lord Chen's plan can be done by my old Zhang." ”
Last time, Zhang Fei failed to attack Cao Jun's camp, Zhang Fei has always been worried about this matter, and now Cao Jun is outside the city, and he is also thinking about how to find the field.
"What should Cao Jun do if he is on guard?" Liu Bei said.
"Big brother, don't worry, I only need a thousand cavalry." Zhang Fei was afraid that Liu Bei would refuse, so he hurriedly said.
Liu Bei set his sights on Chen Deng, since the last time the Cao army attacked the city and left, he felt that something was wrong with the Chen family, and in some things, he was not as positive as before, but this time the Cao army attacked the city, Chen Deng spared no effort, and even sent the private soldiers in the family to the city.
"Lord, Cao Cao has led the troops for many years, and the camp will definitely be defended, and the sneak attack mentioned by his subordinates is not one soldier and horse, but three soldiers and horses." Chen Deng said slowly.
Liu Bei put aside the doubts in his heart and hurriedly asked, "Ji will be safe." ”
"When the Cao army is on the camp, you can let General Zhang lead the soldiers and horses to raid from the side of the camp, if the Cao army is prepared and sees our army sneak attack, what will it do?" Chen Dengdao.
"Naturally, it's going to intercept and kill!" Zhang Fei said without thinking.
Chen Deng nodded, "The army in the camp went to intercept and kill General Zhang, and the defense in the camp will definitely be lax, when General Guan led the soldiers and horses to suddenly kill from the other side, the Cao army must be panicked, and the lord led the soldiers and horses to kill again, and they will definitely be able to compete, maybe they can burn the Cao army's thunderbolt in one fell swoop, without such a sharp weapon as the thunderbolt, the Cao army wants to break through Xuzhou." ”
Liu Guanzhang and the three of them nodded again and again when they heard this, the three soldiers and horses attacked one after another, which could indeed have a surprising effect, even if Cao Cao was cautious, it was impossible to think that the Xuzhou army would attack like this.
"Lord Chen is really a man of wisdom." Zhang Fei, who was not very happy with Chen Deng, also praised it.
Chen Deng stroked his beard under his chin and showed a smug expression.
"At that time, there will be Lao Yuanlong to defend Pengcheng, and when the army returns triumphantly, Yuanlong will be the hero of Xuzhou." Liu Bei said.
Guan Yu frowned slightly, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Liu Bei to lead the troops out of the city, Pengcheng is very important to the army, once Pengcheng has a mistake, Liu Bei will also lose the territory of survival, in Xuzhou, Liu Bei has put a lot of effort into it.
"Big brother, it's better for you to stay and defend the city, and let General Cao Bao lead the troops out of the city." Guan Yu said.
Chen Deng's heart suddenly, his strategy, is to wait for Liu Bei to leave the city, quietly open the city gate to welcome Cao Jun into the city, even if Liu Bei reacts at that time, it will be too late, Liu Bei has a lot of prestige in the army, once he finds that something is wrong, it will be much more difficult to take advantage of the situation to sacrifice Xuzhou.
"The lord is a golden body, and he can't be in danger, so his subordinates don't think properly." Chen Deng arched his hand.
