Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 153 The situation in the city!Welcome Cao Su!Against Lu Bu!
"General, my subordinates have just observed for a while. Cao Jun and the others have indeed retreated [-] miles to camp! It seems that they have no intention of attacking!"

Not long after Lu Bu returned to the city, Chen Deng hurried over and reported to him respectfully.

"Well... continue to investigate the enemy's situation!"

At this time, Lu Bu hadn't recovered from the fear just now, he saw that his pouring hands were trembling slightly, and he answered Chen Deng absent-mindedly!
When the latter saw that he just agreed casually, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Lu Bu seemed to have noticed Chen Deng's strangeness, put down his glass and stared at him coldly and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Chen Deng hesitated for a moment, then said to Lu Bu:
"General, since the Cao army has no intention of attacking Xuzhou City, the subordinates have the courage to ask the general to transfer [-] shi of grain to help the people, so as to appease the people for the general!"

"Ten thousand stones of grain?"

Lu Bu frowned, "Just a bunch of untouchables, you're going to waste the general's [-] shi of rations? Chen Deng, do you think we're doing good deeds? This is a war!"

After hearing this, Chen Deng knelt down in panic, begging sadly:

"My lord! The famine in the city has been going on for a long time! This time even the Mi family is in danger. They don't have any more food to distribute to the people. If they ignore it this time, I'm afraid...I'm afraid they will unite When a riot breaks out, it will really be out of control by then!"

"Presumptuous! Are you threatening the general?"

Lu Bu was still in shock because of the confrontation with Cao Su just now, but now that Chen Deng said such words to provoke him, he suddenly flew into a rage.

Chen Deng was shaken by his powerful aura, "Subordinates...don't dare!"

"Send the order down!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly,
"Anyone who dares to mention food in front of this general will be dragged out of the city gate and beheaded without mercy! You Chen Deng is no exception! If those untouchables dare to rebel against this general because of a little food, this general will personally lead the general Kill them all! Not one left!"

"Yes... as ordered, General!"

After Chen Deng heard his words, he knelt on the ground and couldn't help clenching his fists. He dared not speak out in anger, so he could only bite the bullet and agree, and then retreated sadly.

After coming out, Chen Deng walked all the way into the city and came to a mansion in the city.

Different from other mansions, the outside of this house is full of various soup pots and pans, and there are still some broken cotton and linen brocade left, as if it is a temporary disaster relief site.

Not far away were hundreds of skinny and ragged refugee civilians.

Chen Deng glanced at them, showing unwillingness but helplessness, he could only walk into the mansion through the back door.

As soon as he entered the house, an old man over fifty years old came up to him and asked, "Yuanlong, how is it going? Has General Lu agreed to release food for disaster relief?"

Chen Deng sighed fiercely, "Oh! Lu Bu is so inhumane! He only cares about his own soldiers, and doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the city at all. He also said that if he mentions food again, he will be pushed out of the city gate and beheaded." !"

"Bastard! What a villain! Bully!"

After listening to Chen Gui, he cursed angrily,

"Back when this guy forcibly drove away Uncle Liu Huang and occupied Xuzhou, I said that this man would push the people in the city into the abyss. Look now! It's true! Could it be that his soldiers are human, and the people in the city are not human? Do you know that the food and salaries they used were all plundered from the people, and now he refuses to release ten thousand stones, this old man is really hard to swallow."

However, these words surprised Chen Deng, "Father said carefully, Xuzhou City is still under the command of Lu Bu this time, be careful that there are ears behind the wall!"

"Brother Yuanlong, don't worry, this is my Mi family's mansion, just speak freely!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with eight beards walked in from outside the door, followed by a young man with almost the same appearance, and a young woman with extremely beautiful looks but strong eyes.

When Chen Deng saw them, he hurriedly bowed respectfully and said hello, "Brother Zizhong! Brother Zifang! Miss Mi!"

The people who came were Mi Zhu, a wealthy businessman from Xuzhou, Mi Fang and his only younger sister, Mi Zhen!
Mi Zhu took the lead and said, "Brother Yuanlong, you have won enough for the people. If Lu Bu really doesn't release food, there is nothing he can do about it. It can be seen that this person's vision is extremely low, and he is not good enough to be the commander of Xuzhou." !"

Hearing this, Chen Deng and his son couldn't help being shocked, "What does Brother Zizhong mean?"

Mi Zhu glanced at Mi Fang and Mi Zhen who were behind him, and Mi Zhen went to close the door very quickly.

Then Mi Zhu whispered to the two of them, "Do you know who is leading the Cao army who came to attack the city this time?"

Chen Deng and his son looked at each other, frowned slightly and asked, "Could it be that brother Zi Zhong has the idea of ​​joining Cao Jun? I heard that Cao Cao is more insidious, cunning and fierce than Lu Bu. Once attacked by them Entering the city, the people in the city will suffer!"

Unexpectedly, Mi Zhen said at this moment, "If it were Cao Cao or any of his generals who came here, maybe Xuzhou City would be bloody, but the people who led the troops this time would never do such inhuman things !"

Chen Deng was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Could it be that there are still such benevolent and righteous people under Cao Cao's banner? Who is the general?"

Just now when Cao Jun was calling for battle in the city, he didn't care about those things at all, he just wanted to solve the food problem, so he didn't pay attention to which general Cao Jun came to.

After hearing this, Mi Zhu said cautiously, "According to a friend in our army, the person who came to attack the city this time is Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao Su!"

"Cao Su?" Chen Deng and his son were startled, and they remembered something instantly, and asked in surprise, "Is it Cao Su who brought 20 shi of sweet potatoes to relieve the famine in Xuzhou City? Is he here?"

Mi Zhu nodded, "That's right, this person is different from Cao Cao. You can't see Cao Cao's ruthlessness in him, and he has a big heart. Even Liu Huangshu is full of praise for this person, which shows that this person is extraordinary!"

"That's right!" Mi Fang also said at this time, "Just now I heard people say that Cao Su would rather surrender loudly to Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops under the city gate alone in order not to hurt the people in the city. Things that can be done!"

Mi Zhen on the side murmured softly, "He doesn't want to hurt the common people, I think he is a disciple who surrendered just to see Diao Chan!"

"Don't mess around! How can such a hero use such a stigmatized reputation?" Mi Zhu immediately snorted softly, quite reproachfully.

Mi Zhen pouted, her hands drooping behind her back, looking extremely aggrieved.

It is no secret that Cao Su likes to take other people's wives, but his two elder brothers just don't believe it!any idea?
"He surrendered to Lu Bu?" Chen Deng's expression became even more puzzled at this moment, "Then why was Lu Bu still so terrified just now, as if he was facing an enemy?"

Mi Zhu said, "That Lü Bu thought he was swindling surrender, so he was vigilant. However, in my humble opinion, Cao Su must have surrendered to Lv Bu for the sake of the people in the city. It's a pity that Lv Bu didn't believe it!"

"What a hero! Extraordinary bearing! Extraordinary bearing!!"

When Chen Deng heard the evaluation of the three brothers and sisters, he immediately felt a sense of admiration for Cao Su.

"If such heroes are really allowed to enter Xuzhou, what a blessing it will be to Xuzhou City!"

The three brothers and sisters of the Mi family looked at each other, and then solemnly said to Chen Deng,

"Brother Yuanlong! I know your sympathy for the common people. If Lu Bu continues to mess around like this, an unprecedented disaster will inevitably erupt in Xuzhou City!"

"So... I have secretly united most of the gentry in the city, and they will draw out all the servants who are capable of fighting to cooperate with us in resisting Lu Bu!"

"But... all of this requires someone to cooperate with us in the army. Lu Bu regards you two in charge so highly. If we can get your help, we will be able to accomplish this great event! Please also invite Uncle Hanyu! Brother Yuanlong You can do your best to help! My three brothers and sisters from the Mi family will definitely work hard for you to repay your kindness to the people of Xuzhou!"

Speaking of this, Mi Zhu took Mi Fang and Mi Zhen and knelt down directly to Chen Deng and his son.

The two of them were shocked and turned pale, and hurried forward to help them!
I saw Chen Deng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind,
"Okay! I promise you! Welcome Cao Su! Resist Lu Bu!"
