621. You have to think twice about this matter
"Chen Deng has seen Yuan Gong!"
After Chen boarded Yuan Shu's so-called Son of Heaven car, he also respectfully saluted Yuan Shu.
And Yuan Shu waved his hand at Chen Deng, and said with some interest, "Yuanlong doesn't need to be polite, Yuanlong is here to make Lu Bu's ministry break off!" I have already decided this matter, and Yuan Long doesn't need to say more! Oh, Yuan Long is a man of Confucianism, he must be not good at the battlefield, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, then Yuan Long will stay in my car, and I will send someone else to lead Lu Bu's tribe! ”
Yuan Shu seemed to guess that Chen Deng might have come for the matter after he assigned Lu Bu's army to break off, but Yuan Shu already had a plan, that is, he wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the troops left by Lu Bu, that is, he was ready to consume Lu Bu's army as cannon fodder, so that when he arrived in Xuzhou, he could naturally occupy the original Lu Bu's territory more easily.
Of course, Chen Deng is still useful in his eyes, so he doesn't plan to let Chen Deng be cannon fodder, but can stay by his side.
It can be said that before Chen Deng could say anything, Yuan Shu had already qualified this matter, and immediately stopped Chen Deng's original words that he wanted to say.
Chen Deng's expression was slightly stunned, and he thought about the rhetoric in his heart for a while before he spoke again, "Gong Yuan, you have to think twice about this matter!" Now Lu Bu still has residual power in the army, although he has temporarily concealed the news of Lu Bu's death, but there are already suspicions in the army, plus Gao Shun and Chen Gong are dead, which also makes the army unstable, and now if he is asked to wait, I am afraid that he will have no heart to contribute, and if he surrenders Cao Cao and Zhu Wei in front of the battle, will he lose tens of thousands of troops in vain! ”
"Mr. Chen's words are wrong, as Mr. Chen said, Lu Bu's army has not yet returned to the heart, if this is the case all the way to Xuzhou, once he knows that Lu Bu is dead, and the chaos starts, wouldn't it be a big thing for His Majesty to take Xuzhou! Now it is possible to leave Lu Bu's henchmen behind and let Zhu Wei and Cao Cao kill them, so that there will be no obstacles to Xuzhou! As for him and others who want to surrender the enemy in front of the battle, they can also follow, so that they can also delay the pursuit of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao, and also let His Majesty get out of the crisis safely! Now that Your Majesty's safety is the first priority, a few Lu Bu's soldiers are nothing! ”
After listening to Chen Deng's words, Yuan Shu didn't speak, but Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's adviser who was also in the car, spoke, this Yang Hong looked like a thin Confucian in his forties, and his appearance looked a little obscene, but he was obviously able to ponder Yuan Shu's thoughts, and his words could also make Yuan Shu happy.
In fact, at this moment, Yang Hong is more concerned about his own safety, but his current safety and Yuan Shu are also tied together, so as long as Yuan Shu can be safe, he doesn't care about Lu Bu's soldiers.
"Well, that's right, as long as I get to Xuzhou, I can re-recruit soldiers, and now this Lu Bu's army can only use five or six thousand elite soldiers, and the rest are mostly miscellaneous soldiers and young and strong, even if they stay, it has no effect, and now if they can be used to block Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuers, it can be regarded as his use!"
Yuan Shu had been persuaded by Yang Hong before to make such a decision, and after listening to Yang Hong's words at this moment, he naturally insisted on this opinion.
However, Yuan Shu's words are not wrong, Lu Bu participated in the coalition army this time, and he only brought eight or nine thousand elite soldiers from Bingzhou, and the other two or thirty thousand were ordinary Xuzhou new soldiers and young people, and then claimed to have fifty or sixty thousand people.
But in the previous sneak attack on Cao Cao's battle, when Lu Bu withdrew his army, he also encountered an ambush by Cao's army, and as a result, Cao's army defeated three or four thousand elite troops, and now the real elite troops are only five or six thousand people.
However, most of these elite soldiers are also Lu Bu's henchmen, and it is not easy to change their minds, thinking that it is better to let them surrender to Cheng directly, and they can waste some of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's troops.
Chen Deng listened to these words, and his mouth stammered again, and the words he had prepared before felt useless for a while, and after thinking about Chen Deng, he said, "Yuan Gong's intentions, Deng, understand!" However, as Yang Changshi said, there may be Lu Bu's henchmen in the army who can take the opportunity to get rid of them, but there are other people, or they can also be used! Yuan Gong tried to think that if our army retreated to Xuzhou this time, but the original army of Lu Bu did not have any remains, then Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and other generals who stayed in Xuzhou by Lu Bu would inevitably have different thoughts, and it would be difficult to persuade him to surrender at that time! If Duke Yuan had to use troops when he arrived in Xuzhou, wouldn't he have given Zhu Wei and Cao Cao another chance! ”
"Well, this ......"
Yuan Shu also groaned when he heard this, although he was arrogant, but he also knew his current situation, if he ran to Xuzhou now, but was rejected from the city by the generals left by Xuzhou Lu Bu, then he still had to attack the city of Xuzhou with troops in order to control Xuzhou.
With the current situation of his army, after arriving in Xuzhou, he was afraid that he would not be able to fight any battles, and he originally thought that when he arrived in Xuzhou, he could directly enjoy the family wealth left by Lu Bu.
Therefore, Yuan Shu's eyes couldn't help but look at Yang Hong on the side, and Yang Hong also stroked his goat's whisker and said, "In this case, what is Mr. Chen's strategy to dedicate to the lord?" ”
"Duke Yuan, it's better to leave the army of Lu Bu's henchmen, and the Duke of Yuan will send troops to supervise it, so that it will be the end of the battle for Duke Yuan, and Deng will continue to open the way for the vanguard with the rest of the people, all the time, Deng, you can also speak for Duke Yuan in Xuzhou, if Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others are still not convinced, they can break the city and kill them!"
As long as Chen Deng can lead the way for Yuan Shu in front with a part of his troops, then his goal will be achieved, so he doesn't care about the elite soldiers left behind by Lu Bu.
However, his strategy is also feasible, after all, there are only elite soldiers on Lu Bu's side who can fight and dare to fight, and it is meaningless for ordinary soldiers to stay, so it is better to continue to be taken by Chen Deng to Xuzhou as an internal response, at least they can enter the city where Lu Bu left Zhang Liao and them to garrison.
At that time, even if he wants to fight, Chen Deng can also lead the troops to help Yuan Shu break the city.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Chen's strategy is also feasible, so that Lu Bu's army can also be saved from rebelling in front of the formation!"
Yang Hong also supported Chen Deng's strategy, so he also expressed his approval to Yuan Shu, after all, this was also in line with the strategy he proposed to Yuan Shu before.
"Well, that's fine, then Yuanlong will select the soldiers in Lu Bu's army, and let Na Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing lead the troops to break, and I will lead 10,000 soldiers as overseers, if Lu Bu's army violates the order, then they will be killed together!"
Yuan Shu is also indispensable to this, and he doesn't care much about the three generals under Lu Bu's account, so he directly let them be cannon fodder.
"No!"
Chen Deng achieved his goal, so he didn't have any other words, and directly agreed, for him, the three generals Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing are not important, as long as he can complete his task, it doesn't matter if they live or die.
In this way, Chen Deng quickly left Yuan Shu's car and drove back to the place where Lu Bu's army was stationed, and conveyed Yuan Shu's meaning to Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing.
When Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing heard this, their faces couldn't help but change a little, and their eyes at Chen Deng couldn't help but be a little angry, obviously they also saw the taste of being betrayed......
