Silent.

Deathly silence.

The father and son stood at the head of Liangcheng City, and they couldn't see the waves of Yishui in the night, and they could only vaguely hear the sound of the water jumping, the sound was very low, but it hit the hearts of the two like a heavy hammer.

From the moment Tao Qian announced that he would invite Wang Yu to go south and intended to make concessions to Xuzhou, the Chen family father and son began to run in many directions, planning wave after wave of conspiracies to try to keep Wang Yu out of Xuzhou.

These schemes are not unfortunate, and the executors cannot be said to be ineffective, but in terms of priority, the schemes failed one by one, and the executors fell one after another like moths to a fire.

However, even at the moment when he received the news of Cao Bao's fiasco in Maling, Chen Deng never felt so desperate.

He is not afraid of powerful enemies, and his thousands of tricks have been crushed by Wang Yu with force, which seems to be miserable and helpless, but in fact it is nothing. Isn't that just a failure? How many times did Gaozu fail back then? In the end, didn't he use a contract-breaking sneak attack to solve the invincible overlord of Chu?

He is not afraid that the situation is unfavorable, no matter how bad the situation is, as long as he can gather enough people to stand on the opposite side of the enemy, the general trend will be reversed sooner or later.

But Wang Yu suddenly changed his course and started a chapter on Que Xuan, to modify the previous strict policy towards Haoqiang into one with a tendency to be gentle, which is very tricky and desperate.

Xuzhou is not Qingzhou, the local area is very little affected by the war, and the large and small families are very intact. The reason why Chen Deng's father and son dared to challenge Wang Yu was because they were sure that even if Wang Yu relied on his military strength to suppress Haoqiang's resistance, Xuzhou's hostility would not be eliminated.

When Wang Yu is here, it may not be a big problem, but as long as he leaves, the smoke everywhere in Xuzhou can make his successor anxious, and it will be difficult to take care of it!

If it is properly coordinated, perhaps Xuzhou will become the beginning of the collapse of the powerful Qingzhou army. No matter how strong an army is, it is difficult to bring into play its combat effectiveness in an environment where the whole world is the enemy.

Although Chen Deng didn't know about the all-people war that was admired by later generations, he planned such a feast by himself, waiting for Wang Yu to collide with him.

His previous schemes, although they were successful, were very good, but if they did not succeed, they must have aroused Wang Yu's anger, and then he went south and killed on a large scale, leaving a foreshadowing for a full-scale rebellion in Xuzhou in the future.

Who would have thought that Wang Yu escaped from his killing one after another, but he didn't care, not only did he not go south in a big way, but even let Que Xuan go. The latter's attack became a joke, and the two sides were now fighting hotly, and Que Xuan's army of 5,000 not only failed to cause any trouble to Wang Yu, but it seemed that it had become Wang Yu's help.

How can Chen Deng not be surprised?

"He has become famous and famous, you and my father and son have made a plan, it seems that they are all married to others......" Chen Qilai is a very famous person, his voice is not high, but it is very charming, and it sounds rhythmic, but at this moment, his voice has become obscure and dull, and it sounds like metal friction.

"Yuanlong, Wang Yu's attention to you should be a little sincere, since the situation has come to this point, and there is hope for preserving the family business, it is better to ......"

Chen Deng's heart jumped, and his father's meaning was very clear, but he was desperate for the prospect and began to waver. When the Gaotang Dynasty met the alliance, his father was shaken for a while, thinking that at least he would go to Qingzhou to become a member of the army and leave a torch for the Chen family.

But his ambition Chen Yuanlong is to revitalize the family business and make the Guangling Chen family a famous family like the Yuan family! In Qingzhou politics, even if it is the reformed one, there is no such prospect.

Private? No, people are not good for themselves, the heavens and the earth are destroyed, and selfishness is just synonymous with hypocrisy.

In life, isn't the most glorious thing to be glorious to the ancestors and to bless the descendants? Wang Pengju himself didn't care about this, and made a hypocritical oath not to be the emperor very disgustingly, but what power did he have to make others be the same as him?

The root cause of the confrontation between his father and Qingzhou is to protect the family business, and he, Chen Yuanlong, looks down on the hypocrisy and shame of the other party! Not an emperor? Hmph, how can there be anyone in the world who doesn't want to sit in that supreme position?

Chen Denglai was also very desperate by Wang Yu's hand, but when he heard his father say this, his strength to not admit defeat was stimulated again.

"Don't worry, father, Wang Yu's implementation of this policy may not have the desired effect. The lord he was ordained was a pure empty name. There is nothing but nominal respect and security, there is no promise of punishment and no doctor, no authority to govern the locality, no convenience of filial piety and honesty, no convenience in entering the official career, not much different from ordinary people, and the division of the family ......"

The corners of Chen Deng's mouth moved slightly, and he sneered with disdain: "Que Xuan was greedy for merit, he abandoned his baggage, was taken advantage of by the enemy, and had to obey in order to survive. However, the other families in Xuzhou have no immediate pain, as long as Xiapicheng is still in front, there is no need to worry about everyone turning against each other, at most it is just a wait-and-see situation. ”

"There have been several plots before, although they were all broken by Wang Yu, but if you think about it carefully, the Qingzhou Army was not uninjured. Cao Bao is a mediocre person, if it weren't for his father's persuasion, even if he was resentful, how could he dare to raise his sword to Wang Yu? If all 10,000 Danyang soldiers were under Wang Yu's command, instead of experiencing such a big battle, the situation in Xuzhou would really be difficult to reverse. ”

Chen Qi thought about it and felt reasonable, and Chi asked: "I think Liu Bei must be able to keep Xiapi?" ”

"Xiapi City is high and deep, Liu Bei has suffered many losses from Wang Yu, and this time he is also extremely cautious, and Zhang Chen has the courage of ten thousand people, with him, at least in the short term, don't worry about the safety of Xiapi." Chen Deng said more and more quickly: "I promised to help him mediate before, but I was just perfunctory, but now it seems that Yuan Shu has to work hard." ”

Chen Jue's favorite eldest son, is this full of self-confidence, full of vigorous momentum, seeing that Chen Deng's plan has been decided, he will no longer say frustrating words such as surrender, and advised: "Yuan Highway Zhi is very talented, and his color is strong and inward, my son is going to Shouchun, he should first show respect, and then say that the situation in Xuzhou is dangerous, and Pengcheng will not be embarrassed." ”

"The child knows." Chen Deng replied respectfully, and then reminded: "In order to ensure everything, I also asked my father to send someone to Jiangdong, and Zhang Zibu and others persuaded Sun Ce and Chen Bing to defend against Yuan Shu's surprise attack, so that this trip would be lost." ”

"My son is really thoughtful, good, good!" Chen Jue twisted his beard and smiled, and sent his son away with relief.

……

Liu Bei trembled, the Chen family's father and son were calculating, but they didn't know that at this moment, Wang Yu didn't have anything to do with them in his mind, and he was worrying.

What bothered him was not a military matter, but it was not a small thing that could be dealt with casually, Zhuge Liang reminded him that day, he was in a hurry, and he hadn't even named his son.

Frankly speaking, the feeling of being a father is quite unfamiliar to Wang Yu, he didn't have this condition and idea in his previous life, and he was too young in this life.

Became a father at the age of nineteen? It was common in the Han Dynasty, but it can be heard in later generations. Before Cai Yan gave birth, Wang Yu didn't feel anything, he was just worried and worried, but he really realized that he was a father for the first time, and he felt a little awkward in his heart.

Therefore, after confirming the safety of the mother and son that day, he immediately ordered to set off, not because he was worried about the safety of Tao Qian or Xuzhou, but just to find an excuse to calm down temporarily.

Things are indeed as he expected, in the more than a month he went south, he has not been idle, fighting one battle after another, and he has no time or energy to think about family affairs.

Zhuge Liang reminded him with some bad intentions, but he hit the nail on the head, and Wang Yu finally realized that he was already a father.

A strong attachment came to my heart.

Wang Yu didn't have much feeling for the son who was born not long ago and just glanced at him in a hurry, but when he said goodbye, the love and the brilliance of his mother's surname flashed on Cai Yan's face, which made him unforgettable for a long time.

When she left suddenly, Yan'er didn't say anything, but she must be uncomfortable in her heart, right?

Wang Yu finally realized that he really had a lot of immaturity, and his grasp of the enemy's psychology was far more than the effort he put into the people around him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt homesick and wanted to go back as soon as possible to have a look, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and Liu Bei's sudden appearance somewhat disrupted his plan. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with Liu Bei, but the problem is that if Liu Bei defends the city with his strength, it will be difficult to fight quickly.

Xiapi and Tancheng are the two largest and strongest strongholds in Xuzhou, and the city is high and deep, so it is difficult to storm or besiege. In history, Lu Bu and Guan Yu were both besieged in Xiapi, but that was when the Chen family in Guangling had already deviated, as long as there was the support of Guangling, besieging Xiapi was a difficult task to complete.

As for the assault...... Wang Yu's memory of the characters of the Three Kingdoms may not be comprehensive, but he remembers the process of the previous wars relatively clearly. When Cao Ying captured Pi, Liu Ye, who offered the thunderbolt car, seemed to be already in the army, but he still had nothing to do to take Picheng. In the end, it was a siege, another water attack, and finally Neiying was bribed, and then Lu Bu was taken.

Wang Yu did not plan to attack Xiapi now, and Qingzhou's current strategic focus should not be on Xuzhou, but on solving Lü Bu in Yanzhou as much as possible, and then dealing with Cao Ying, who was advancing westward with all his might.

The current Liu Bei is still at the level of exploiting loopholes and picking up cheap, and he can't compare with the eloquent Cao Ying.

Although Hongnong's current battle situation is at a stalemate, Wang Yu can't see any tricks for Cao Ying, who can swallow Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army in one go. But there is no doubt about one thing, if Cao Ying can succeed, the pattern of the competition between the two powers of the east and the west of the world will be formed, and the result of the competition between the two powers will directly determine the belonging of the world.

Variables can only arise in the north and south, Liu Yu in Youzhou, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Liu Beigen are not on the list. Even if he gained a foothold in Xiapi, it would be useless, because unless he took Guangling, he would have no strategic depth, and when Sun Ce took Jiangdong, he would fall into the dilemma of being attacked on both sides.

Therefore, Wang Yu is not very worried about Liu Bei's body, what he is worried about is the variables caused by Liu Bei. After thinking about it, before I knew it, another month had passed, and the variables of Wang Yu and others had finally come.

However, this variable was far from his expectations.
