"I don't have talent, I don't need to draw a bow or arrow, but with a three-inch tongue, I can talk that Chen Yuanlong to come down!!"

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard the words, and fixed his eyes, he saw that it was Yu Fan. (.) Yu Fan, courtesy name Zhongxiang, was born in Yuyao, Kuaiji. The son of Nan Taishou Yu Xin.Yu Fan is quite knowledgeable and eloquent, and he is now a staff officer under Sun Ce's command.

Sun Ce hurriedly asked Yu Fan.

"What good strategy does Zhongxiang have to make Chen Yuanlong return?"

Yu Fan smiled calmly and said with confidence.

"Chen Yuanlong belongs to the Chen family, which is a wealthy family in Xuzhou. Chen Yuanlong puts the interests of his family first in everything. In the past, he rebelled against Liu Bei for the family and surrendered to Cao Cao. Now our Jiangdong army is suppressing the border, and Xuzhou is in danger. If I say it in terms of profit and loss, and he will return!!!"

Yu Fan is also a member of the family, and he understands the way of life of the people of the family best, so he thinks that Chen Deng will be persuaded by him.Seeing Yu Fan's promise, Sun Ce thought of Chen Deng's deed of offering Xuzhou to Cao Cao in the past, and he immediately felt resolute.Sun Ce doubled the reward to Yu, so he wanted to give an order.

After hearing the words, Lu Xun rushed to attend and said.

"Wait a minute, my lord. This time is now and then. At that time, Cao Mengde was powerful, Liu Bei had few soldiers, and it was difficult to keep Xuzhou. Chen Deng was a guarantor, and he just offered Xuzhou. Now Cao Cao is more powerful than ever, and Xuzhou still has the strength to resist How could Chen Deng dedicate Xuzhou to Xuzhou!? The matter of attacking Xuzhou must not be rushed, but should be done slowly!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce frowned, showing a slight displeasure.Yu Fan squinted his eyes even more, and shouted with a serious face.

"Lu Boyan, can you insinuate a certain incompetence by saying this, saying that Chen Yuanlong will come to surrender!?"

Lu Xun was slightly taken aback, seeing the hostile look in Yu Fan's eyes, he hastily cupped his hands and said.

"Duke Yu calm down. You are a junior, how dare you offend me. But it is not so easy."

Lu Xun didn't finish his sentence, but Sun Ce suddenly slapped the case, burst into anger, and shouted angrily.

"Presumptuous!!! If it's as you say, don't you say that Benhou is not as good as the old thief Cao ten years ago!!! Lu Boyan, how dare you despise Benhou like this!!!"

Lu Xun's words can be said to have angered Sun Ce and offended Sun Ce's proud self-esteem.Seeing that Sun Ce was furious, Lu Xun yelled that it was not good, but when he was about to explain, Sun Ce repeatedly shouted Lu Xun out of the hall.Lu Xun had no choice but to rush to look at Lu Meng in the hall, but Lu Meng ignored him, Lu Xun felt a chill in his heart, so he had no choice but to back down.

Sun Ce was so angry that he wanted to punish Lu Xun more. Seeing this, Lu Su hurriedly came to persuade him, and then he pardoned him.Sun CE decided on the plan of defeating Yu Fan, and at the same time ordered Yu Fan to lead five hundred troops and head straight for Xiapi.On the one hand, Lv Meng, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and other generals were ordered to lead troops to attack Huaiyin's neighboring cities and counties, and all the generals were ordered to lead their troops. (.)

But he said that Chen Deng was guarding Xiapi, and suddenly heard a report from a scout that Jiangdong crossed the Yangtze River at night and attacked Huaiyin.At this time, Huaiyin had been lost, and Sun Cezheng sent various troops to attack the inner city of Guangling County.

Chen Deng was shocked when he heard the words, and thought that Sun Ce had promised to join forces with King Wei to take Jingzhou together, why did he suddenly send troops to Xuzhou?For a moment, Chen Deng was full of thoughts, pondered and stood still, his brain spinning.When he was young, Chen Deng seemed to have noticed a clue, his eyes burst out with horror, and he cried out.

"Could it be that Sun Ce's alliance with the King of Wei was a fraud? Sun Ce and Zhuge Liang of Jingzhou joined forces to deal with the King of Wei together!!?"

As soon as Chen Deng said this, the expressions of all the officials in Xuzhou changed drastically and they panicked.Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, was extremely old, and snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Sun Bofu is no more than a mere man, yet he dares to forcefully hold back the tiger's beard. This time he sent troops to Xuzhou, and he is actually going to die! You don't need to panic, but just wait and see what happens."

When Chen Deng heard the words, he met his father's eyes, and the father and son looked at each other and smiled.Chen Deng cupped his hands and asked.

"In my father's opinion, what should I do?"

Chen Gui's old eyes flickered, and he spoke in a concentrated voice.

"The current urgency should immediately inform the king of Wei about the alliance between Sun Bofu and Zhuge Kongming. Sun Bofu is ambitious, and he will not only send troops to Xuzhou this time. There may also be a sneak attack by Jiangdong soldiers and horses. Wei Wang is fighting fiercely with Zhuge Kongming in Jingzhou. If he does not know Sun Bofu's evil intentions and has been entangled with Zhuge Kongming in Jingzhou, Xu and Yu are in danger. Therefore, this matter must not be delayed at all. One day later to report to King Wei, Xu and Yu prefectures will be in danger for one more day."

"Father's words are very true. I was favored by the King of Wei, and I was able to lead Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou is in danger, what should I do with my child?"

Chen Deng was very humble, and Chen Gui supported his beard and smiled.

"I, the Chen family, have been greatly favored by the king of Wei, and I should repay it with death. Now my son quickly gathered Xuzhou soldiers and horses at Xiapi, guarded the gate of the city, and refused them with deep ditches and high fortifications. Sun Ce has a hot temper, so he must Raise troops to attack wildly, and we will defend the city according to the city, wait for work with leisure, wait for the king of Wei to send troops to help, and defeat them in one fell swoop, how can the Jiangdong army be invincible?!"

Chen Gui had a certain determination that Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes but his face remained unchanged, and all the officials in Xuzhou felt at ease after hearing this.According to his father's words, Chen Deng notified the counties of Xuzhou to gather all the soldiers of Xuzhou in Xiapi.At the same time, they sent someone to report to Xiangyang at Xingye to inform Cao Cao of Sun Cezhi's evil intentions.

About ten days later, Yu Fan led his troops to Xiapi city. Seeing that the gate of Xiapi city was closed, Yu Fan thought to himself that Chen Deng had learned about Huaiyin's loss. On the arrow, shot into the city.The Xuzhou sergeants guarding the city picked it up and offered it to Chen Deng eagerly.

When Chen Deng heard Yu Fan's letter, he seemed to know what Yu Fan meant.Chen Gui was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and shouted angrily.

"Jiangdong rats, how dare you underestimate me and the members of the Chen family!! It is extremely hateful!!!"

None of Xuzhou's civil and military officials knew why Chen Gui suddenly became furious.Chen Deng sneered, dismantling it, it really was Sun Ce's intention to surrender.Chen Deng took a deep breath and showed the letter to everyone.Xuzhou Wenwu instantly understood why Chen Gui was so furious.

In the past, Chen Deng betrayed Liu Bei for his family and dedicated Xuzhou to Cao Cao. He was criticized by many people in Xuzhou and some angry Confucian scholars.Chen Deng didn't want to hurt innocent people, so he had to swallow his breath.Therefore, the Chen family also left a notoriety.

Now that Sun Ce came to recruit again, he seemed to think that members of the Chen family were all snobbish and afraid of death.Such a humiliation, how could Chen Gui not be angry.Chen Deng didn't say a word, but stood there pondering, and after thinking about it for a while, he laughed angrily and said.

"Sun Bofu actually despises my Chen family so much. If you don't teach him how popular my Chen family is, how can I, Chen Yuanlong, see the Chen family's ancestors again!!"

Chen Deng's eyes were full of murderous intent, so he taught everyone to do so.Chen Gui clapped his palms and laughed out loud.After the discussion and agreement, Chen Deng immediately ordered the gatekeepers to open the city gate and invite Yu Fan to enter the city.Seeing that Chen Deng really intended to surrender, Yu Fan was overjoyed and proudly stepped into the hall. Chen Deng greeted him personally, and the two saluted.Yu Fan began to talk about Wu Hou's magnanimity, courtesy and virtuous descendants, if the Chen family voted for him, they would gain great power and wealth.Chen Deng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to approve. After hearing Yu Fan's words, he hurriedly bowed his hands in thanks.He also asked someone to bring a seal and ribbon to Yu Fan, and told him that he would surrender.

Yu Fan was overjoyed when he saw that Chen Deng took out the seal and ribbon and handed it to him, and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha!!! The so-called person who knows the current affairs is a hero, Mr. Chen is worthy of being a celebrity in the world! Mr. Chen, don't worry too much. Before I came, the Marquis of Wu had already ordered that if Mr. Chen was willing to surrender, the land of Xuzhou would still be handed over to Mr. Chen." !"

"Wuhou Dayi. It is really a blessing for three lives to ascend to this enlightened lord!"

Chen Deng cupped his hands and bowed again, and held a banquet that night to entertain Yu Fan.During the banquet, Chen Gui, Chen Deng, father and son, toasted again and again, and Yu Fan was so overjoyed that he drank until he was drunk.

The next day, Yu Fan retired after finishing his work, packed his luggage, took Xuzhou's seal and ribbon, and immediately went straight to Huaiyin.

When Yu Fan returned to Huaiyin, Guangling County had already fallen into the hands of Sun Ce.When Sun Ce heard Yu Fan's report, Chen Deng was willing to surrender and brought Xuzhou's seal and ribbon.It can be said that Sun Ce was overjoyed and laughed. There is no doubt that at the moment, Ling Tong and Ding Feng will be sent to lead [-] troops to take Xiapi.

Ling Tong and Ding Feng were ordered to gather all the soldiers and horses in the morning, and then marched towards Xiapi.Not long after the two troops of Ling Tong and Ding Feng left, Lu Xun heard about this, his expression flustered, and he came to see Sun Ce to advise him.

"My lord, did you send two generals Ling Tong and Ding Feng to lead the troops to take down Xiapi today?"

Seeing that it was Lu Xun, Sun Ce frowned when he thought of his offensive words not long ago, and he didn't like to respond.

"Chen Yuanlong is willing to surrender to me. I sent troops to take Xiapi, what's wrong!?"

After hearing the words, Lu Xun asked again anxiously.

"My lord, can you tell Ling Tong and Ding Feng to be cautious and never take it lightly, in case there is fraud?"

"Fraud? Even Chen Yuanlong has sincerely voted for me, why is he cheating?"

"My lord! Chen Yuanlong is not an ordinary person, how could he be willing to sacrifice Xuzhou so easily!? Most of this is fraudulent, how can we not guard against it!? If there is any danger, the deployment led by Ling Tong and Ding Feng will be wiped out disaster!!!"

Lu Xun yelled harshly, Sun Ce was furious when he heard the words, his eyes widened and he roared.

"Don't you see that Chen Yuanlong has presented the Xuzhou seal and ribbon! How can there be fraud!? If you continue to speak nonsense, I will severely punish you!!! Retire!!!"

Sun Ce was so angry that he wanted to drink Lu Xun back.Lu Xun hurriedly knelt down on the ground and urged him loudly.

"My lord, what is the use of this mere seal and ribbon!? Xuzhou soldiers all listen to Chen Yuanlong's order. If Chen Yuanlong really has evil intentions, he doesn't need a seal and ribbon. He can mobilize Xuzhou soldiers and horses with just one order! Immediately Ling Tong, Ding Feng is unprepared, he is bound to be in danger!!!"

"you!!!"

Sun Ce stood up angrily, pointed at Lu Xun and scolded him, but it was useless for Lu Xun to persuade him, so Sun Ce pushed him out of the lobby.Seeing that Sun Ce refused to listen to his advice, Lu Xun quickly sought out Lu Su.It happened that Lu Su rushed to the border of Xuzhou because of the supply of food and grass.Lu Xun waited anxiously for three days before Lu Su came back.Lu Xun found Lu Su and told the story immediately.Lu Su's face changed dramatically when he heard the words, and he immediately went to find Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was dealing with military affairs in the hall, when he suddenly heard Lu Su begging to see him, he thought that the food supplies must have arrived, he was overjoyed, and when he saw Lu Su came, he was about to tell Chen Deng about his surrender.

Unexpectedly, Lu Su came to persuade Sun Ce to be wary of Chen Deng when he tried to be the first to remonstrate.Lu Su was a cautious man, and among Jiangdong's counselors, apart from Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, Sun Ce relied most heavily on Lu Su.When Sun Ce listened to Lu Su's advice, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"According to Zijing's opinion, what should I do!?"

"Your Majesty, you should send quick cavalry first to inform Generals Ling Tong and Ding Feng to beware of Chen Deng. Then immediately lead the troops out and march towards Xiapi to respond!"

Sun Ce acted according to plan, so he made arrangements.On the one hand, he sent people to Xiapi to report, and on the other hand, he ordered [-] soldiers and horses to rush to Xiapi for rescue.

But Ling Tong and Ding Feng led troops to Xiapi, and Chen Deng led the crowd to meet them. Ling Tong and Ding Feng saw Chen Deng respectfully, and thought that he had given the seal and ribbon to Sun Ce, so they didn't worry about it.The two then entered Wancheng to garrison. Just as the soldiers and horses were entering, suddenly a fast horse came, but it turned out to be Lu Xun's clansman.
