Chapter 1035
Liu Bei's words were firm.

After the words fell to the ground, Chen Gui kindly reminded: "Your envoy, don't be careless. Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, and there are many tigers and wolves under his command. We should deal with it carefully."

"Mr. Chen's words are reasonable, but I wonder if there is a good strategy?"

Liu Bei nodded slightly, acting very humble.

The eyes of everyone in the hall were also cast on this very prestigious Patriarch of the Chen family in Xuzhou.

"Lü Bu's army joins Pengcheng, and the next target is definitely Xuzhou. But..."

Chen Gui's voice changed, and he continued: "Xuzhou is surrounded by enemies, if it defends to the death, Lu Bu will definitely attack, just like what happened in Dongwuyang back then, even though King Hongnong had an iron wall, it was finally broken by Lu Bu. Forgive me To put it mildly, the old man, even if Shi Jun has forty-five thousand soldiers, it is difficult for him to be Lu Bu's vanguard."

Chen Gui's words made many generals who wanted to stick to the bloody battle with Lv Bu become hesitant.

Liu Bei was also lost in thought.

Excluding the 3 cavalry in Youzhou, he can actually dispatch only [-] to [-] cavalry under his command. Even if he defends to death, he may not be able to stop Lu Bu's rolling army.

Having figured this out, Liu Bei bowed to Chen Gui and made a big gift, sincerely saying, "Old Xu, please teach me."

Chen Gui hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Bei, and said solemnly: "This matter is related to the lifeblood of Xuzhou, whether it is public or private, the old man should do his best to help the envoy."

Afterwards, he twitched his beard lightly twice, and said slowly: "The old man has a trick, which can be used as a reference for the envoy."

"Mr. Chen, please tell me."

"Before Lü Bu's army arrives, you should think about retreating first: you can divide most of Xuzhou's money and food and move it to Xiapi. If Xuzhou is besieged, Xiapi has food to rescue. If you attack Xiapi, Xuzhou can attack its rear. In addition, Xiapi is in danger of Surabaya, just sit and guard it, and you will be safe, what do you think?"

Chen Gui presented a plan, Liu Bei thought for a moment, then nodded in response: "This plan is very good!"

"In addition, the envoy can also send people to Guangling to lobby."

Chen Gui went on to say, "Zuo Rong, governor of Guangling County, has been attached to Xuzhou these years, but he is an independent force outside Xuzhou. He has [-] troops under his command, which is not a small number. , lips dead and teeth cold, I believe that Ruo Rong will not sit idly by, and is willing to send troops to fight against Lu Bu."

After hearing Chen Gui's words, many people in the hall nodded in agreement: "If Ruo Rong is willing to help, our chances of winning will be higher."

Ze Rong was born in Danyang, Yangzhou.

In the early years, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was appointed as the prefect of Xiapi, responsible for supervising the transportation of grain in the three counties of Guangling, Xiapi and Pengcheng.

However, after receiving the food and tribute items from these three counties, Ruo Rong did not send them to Tan County, but pocketed them for his own use.

After owning these, Ruo Rong established Buddhist temples in Xiapi County and asked the people of Xiapi County to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night. This caused monks, nuns and Buddhists from nearby counties to move into Xiapi County, with as many as 5000 households.Every April [-]th of the lunar calendar, Ruo Rong will also hold a "Buddhist Bathing Party".

Later, Cao Cao avenged his father and attacked Xuzhou, and the territory of Xuzhou was like a frightened bird.

Ze Rong led more than 1 men and women under his command to Moling. Xue Li, who guarded Moling, hosted a banquet in honor of Ze Rong, but Ze Rong killed him and annexed Xue Li's subordinates.

After Tao Qian's death, Ze Rong went south to Guangling.

Zhao Yu, governor of Guangling County, regarded Ruo Rong as a distinguished guest, and set up a grand banquet to entertain Ruo Rong and his soldiers and subordinates.Seeing the abundance of goods and people in Guangling County, Ruo Rong couldn't help but feel moved, so he became malicious again.So, at a banquet, while toasting, he drew his sword and beheaded Zhao Yu, taking Guangling as his own.

Ruo Rong believes in Buddhism, but he is not a good man or woman.

Therefore, Liu Bei is not very willing to cooperate with Ruo Fu. A person like him will take a back bite and swallow himself into his stomach when he is uncertain.

But the current situation is tense, if Ruo Rong can help, it will indeed increase the chances of winning a lot.

"I'm not an official, but I'm willing to go through this experience with my master." Sun Qian, who was in charge of the job, came out to ask for orders.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Bei finally nodded, "Gongyou is going here, so be careful."

Hearing Liu Bei's concern, Sun Qian was moved in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said firmly: "I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment!"

Afterwards, everyone discussed for a long time before they dispersed.

Walking out of the gate of the State Shepherd's Mansion, the Chen family father and son boarded the car driving back to the mansion.

In the carriage, Chen Gui, who was over fifty years old, seemed a little tired. He closed his eyes and began to rest his mind.

The eldest son, Chen Deng, looked at his father, hesitant to speak.

After struggling for a while, he hesitated to say: "Father, is there something wrong with the strategy you offered to Shijun Liu?"

Hearing his son's question, Chen Gui closed his eyes and raised his eyelids, and there was a glint of light in his cloudy eyes.

"Yuanlong, my father knows what you want to say, but you don't have to say it anymore. Liu Xuande is far from being as kind as you seem. Not to mention the depth of his city, his ambition is far beyond that of ordinary people. He is really ambitious. .”

Knowing the son is more like the father, Chen Gui knows that his son likes Liu Bei, and wants to help him help the Han Dynasty.

But to help the Han Dynasty, it is not enough to shout a slogan or two.

Now that the general situation of the world has been determined, Liu Bei is completely powerless to compete with Lu Bu.

"The son dare not agree with what the father said."

Chen Deng took courage, he would never dare to contradict his father in the past.

"Father is knowledgeable, so he should know that Gao Zu also only occupied the land of Hanzhong. After unremitting efforts, he was able to defeat Xiang Yu in the end and create the Great Han Dynasty.

Now Xuzhou is far richer than Hanzhong, and Liu Shijun is also a person with great ambitions. Why did my father deny Liu Shijun's dedication and hard work over the years just because of the current situation? "

Chen Deng asked back, feeling a little agitated.

Chen Gui's eyes fell on the son he was most optimistic about, his expression was no longer old, and his words were sharp: "In the past, under the command of the great ancestor, Xiao He and Zhang Liang were assisted in literature, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Xia Houying were in martial arts, plus a A soldier fairy who is rare in a century to help, but Xiang Yu was conceited, so he was defeated.

Let's take a look at Liu Bei, the right time, place and people, what does he occupy? "

Chen Deng opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to say the word "Renhe", but in a blink of an eye, Lu Bu's prestige among the people is also extremely high, even far surpassing that emperor who lives in Chang'an.

For a moment, he was a little speechless.

"Actually, whoever becomes the emperor in this world has nothing to do with being a father. It's just that the inheritance of the Xu family for thousands of years cannot be destroyed in my hands." Looking at the loneliness on his son's face, Chen Gui sighed, feeling a little unbearable in his heart.

He knew that his son's ambition since he was a child was to devote his whole life to assisting a wise lord and helping the great Han society.

But the sky above his head is no longer what it used to be.
