Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 79 He invited me to be a guest!Must be heroes!
After Guan Yu heard the news, he knew that Lu Bu had no intention of taking care of Duyang and occupying the canal, so it would be of great benefit to the East China Sea state.

"I'll stay in Xiaopei, and I have to repay Mr. Cao's kindness. Otherwise, how can I be calm when I go?"

Guan Yu knew very well that his elder brother did not want to be inferior to others and would leave sooner or later, so at this time he also knew that he had to make meritorious deeds before then.

To repay Cao Cao's kindness.

Occupying Duyang can occupy an important river in the East China Sea, and it will be much more convenient to send food and grass along the water. Although I don’t know what is going on at Xiapi and what tactics are being used, Guan Yu can tell at a glance that Lu Bu is already unable to support himself.

After all, before this, he had led him around several times, and he was already exhausted from fighting, and Langya Zangba had already broken his alliance with Lu Bu.

After the order was issued, many soldiers and horses were sent from Pengcheng to Xiangduyang.

That night, almost all the soldiers and horses were on the move. Great battles broke out in various parts of the East China Sea. The military reports from all over the country were sent to Lu Bu overnight, but he failed to receive them all.

Because he is leading the troops out of the city at the moment, heading to Dongzhai to meet up.

If he can join the army with Hao Meng, then he will be able to resist the invading enemy, and if he abandons Tan County, he will be able to continue fleeing eastward, and perhaps have a chance to escape.

Until they arrived in Yangzhou, they went to join Yuan Shu. After all, they were still relatives by marriage, so they would always take him in.

But his thoughts fell through before dawn.

Hao Meng couldn't resist for long, Dongzhai fell an hour before Lu Bu arrived, Hao Meng abandoned the army and fled, only bringing a hundred people to guard him.

After Gao Shun took over the camp, he counted the weapons and redistributed them to the sergeants, prepared enough arrow clusters, dug countless ditches outside the camp and refused horses. When waiting for Lu Bu to come, the cavalry was the first to be killed by the trap, and then Gao Shun led the Chinese army to fight with them.

They could only retreat for the time being. After several fights, Gao Shun blocked Lu Bu's army with 3000 men for six hours before retreating in an orderly manner.

Before leaving, Lu Bu glanced at the well-ordered soldiers and horses retreating with shields, standing on a boulder on a red rabbit on a high slope, and sighed: "If I get this general and use him again, how can I get to where I am today?"

"There is a measure of advance and retreat, like an arm and a finger, this person will definitely be a famous general in the future, but it's a pity that I haven't heard his name, it's a pity."

……

At this time, Tan County had already fallen.

Chen Deng, who was in the city, judged that Lu Bu's power was over, so he sent his trusted generals to open the city gates to welcome Bao Xin's army in. This ended the battle, while the rest of the soldiers and horses sent most of the cavalry to chase after Lu Bu, except for collecting the various places.

I want to drive it to a dead end and then trap it, so I still continue to send troops.

Chasing Lv Bu to the end, but it doesn't mean that someone should chase and behead him. After all, he is Lv Bu, and he still has a great reputation.

This is the battle of trapped beasts mentioned earlier.

If it is too close, Lu Bu will also be killed by Lu Bu's stubborn resistance.

But now, it seems that there are not many people under Lu Bu's command, and all the belongings of the family members have been abandoned in Tan County, so it will not be difficult to escape.

Just run out of food for him.

In Tancheng, Guo Yi came from Xiapi on the third day, went up to the city gate with Bao Xin, and listened to the situation of various ministries.

Bao Xin was obviously very happy. This battle was easier than he imagined, because Lu Bu's anger seemed to be unusual. When something happened in Dongzhai, he immediately sent troops to rescue, and he had to repel the intruder as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, being blocked by Gao Shun bought too much time for the Chinese army to take Tancheng. In fact, Guo Yi's thesis basically came true.

After the soldiers came to Tancheng, Chen Deng led the crowd to surrender after the city did not resist for a long time, as if the rain was coming after a long drought.

In this way, the strong city wall is almost useless, and someone will come to cast it.

"Meng Yu! This time the achievements are as you said, Lu Bu has no strength to fight anymore and can only run away. We have lost thousands of people, and we have won a complete victory."

Guo Yi looked around, but he didn't see Cao Hong, so he asked strangely, "Why hasn't General Zilian come yet?"

"Wouldn't it be easier for him to attack the West Village? The West Village is an isolated camp, so it won't last long at all. It stands to reason that he should have returned long ago."

Bao Xin said with a smile: "It should be all right. Although there is no military report, he will lead [-] soldiers and horses, so the army will not be defeated."

"Most of the generals under Lu Bu's command are exhausted physically and mentally, and they don't want to follow anymore. Once the army is defeated, they should surrender their allegiance, and there will be no trapped beasts."

After saying this, Guo Yi nodded his head in agreement, so he stopped mentioning Cao Hong's matter.

Bao Xin pulled Guo Yi into the gatehouse, and said at the same time: "As for Lu Bu, the direction should be towards Mount Yu, and he is probably stationed in the mountain now."

"He went into the mountains, and it was very difficult for us to pursue him. We had to set up camp at the foot of the main road of the mountain pass, guarding Lv Bu, and surrounded him without attacking him. When he ran out of food and grass, and there was a mutiny, he would come out and surrender himself."

"Therefore, I can take a rest for a day. I'm not in a hurry for the time being. I'll go look for Lu Bu after the places are almost settled."

Bao Xin's judgment on the situation was very accurate, so Guo Yi had nothing to add, so he nodded in agreement.

"Come on, I'll take you to see Chen Yuanlong."

Bao Xin pulled him, with a happy face, they entered the gate together with great joy. In front of the main hall gate, a tall, long-armed, rather refined middle-aged man was waiting.

This person is wearing a black robe, with a wide forehead and a front face. At first glance, he looks a little chic. He wears a hat and a neat and meticulous beard. He nodded from a distance.

After the two parties approached, Chen Deng immediately handed over to Guo Yi, his expression greatly moved. He was observing Guo Yi before he approached. Sure enough, he was younger than him, but his achievements were already incomparable.

In this Xuzhou battle, it seems that only Guo Yi was there, and there were no other military advisers, which means that the strategy and arrangement were all done by him alone, and he discussed with the generals at most.

"Thank you, sir, for accepting the surrender of Xuzhou, so that the common people will not suffer from the war. Your generosity is admirable," Chen Deng said slowly.

Guo Yi also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I knew that Lu Bu would not have the support of Xuzhou scholars, so I dared to use such a trick. This is also a gamble, and it all depends on Bao's trust."

"Of course I trust it," Bao Xin raised his lips. "Your Guo Mengyu's conclusions have always been based on evidence, but you are self-effacing. You can see that Lv Bu has rarely won the hearts of the army and the people, and has been using domestic policies to influence the soldiers and the people of the two places. You have done so much, and you said it was just a guess. Why don't I believe it?"

"I understand that you just don't want to say anything, so you are so self-effacing, and I didn't do anything, just take the consequences for you."

"This move is not a kindness. Meng Yu doesn't have to worry about it. If it succeeds, I will naturally take credit for it. If it is defeated, I will be blamed. That's all."

Bao Xin told Guo Yi what he had done during this period of time.

With a gratified smile on his face.

In fact, Bao Xin is also an extremely talented person. If Liu Dai didn't follow his strategy at that time, perhaps Qingxu Huangjin would have been defeated long ago.

Even though Liu Dai never obeyed, Bao Xin did not give up on the people after the defeat, but relied on his troops to defend to the death. He was understanding and wise in government, good at fighting without fear, and many people admired him as an officer.

Naturally, he also fully understands the pressure that Guo Yi's policies and deeds put on Lu Bu.

If it was only implemented in Yanzhou, it might not be so much pressure, but now Xuzhou has already begun to divide and rule after taking down Xiapi and Pengcheng.

Under such division and rule, the people and soldiers of Langya and Donghai Kingdom will basically spread the word out of envy when they hear about the strategy of Xiapi and Pengcheng.

"That's right," Chen Deng peeked at Guo Yi resentfully, and sighed, "In Xuzhou, Diannong has managed water for the people for three years, and developed a lot of water conservancy facilities, diverting the river into the fields without damaging the soil of the river, and staying up all night just to live up to the trust of the people."

"However, within a few months of this year, all of these have been compared by you. How ironic." Chen Deng blamed Lv Buzhi for his impatience. Although Tao Qian followed his strategy, he didn't have much time left.

If Chen Deng's strategy didn't fully work, Tao Qian had already given Cao Cao a chance, so naturally there would be no more gains.

"Yuanlong doesn't need to say more, these words can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences." Guo Yi raised his hand and interrupted Chen Deng's words, "Stop talking, come to my house tomorrow, when you have settled down a little, how about I have a deep chat with you about these words?"

Chen Deng was taken aback for a moment. Although he didn't know why, he was also very moved when he saw Guo Yi's sincere eyes.

Unexpectedly, this Xun Shuang's only disciple, Cao's pillar-like hero, and a hero in locust control and disaster relief, would be so friendly.

He actually invited me to his house as a guest.

Talk to me deeply.

Perhaps, this is the hero cherishing the hero, let's meet each other and hate it too late!
Meng Yu and I are indeed capable ministers of internal governance. Together, we can save millions of people.

Chen Deng bowed down again, "Meng Yu, what you said is very true! Let's talk business first today."

"I have sorted out the military situation and officials in various parts of Xuzhou. Next, the Chen family will help Cao Gong to take over the cities of Langya and Donghai counties. However, with Cao Gong's reputation, perhaps there is no need for help. The soldiers and horses can take over the officials from all over the place."

"Since the death of Lord Tao in Xuzhou, in fact, many places have relied on military self-reliance instead of obeying government orders. From today onwards, it can be said that Xuzhou will finally welcome the Ming Lord."

"Cao Gong uses his soldiers like a god, dare to ask him where he is now?"

Chen Deng was quite complicated about meeting Cao Cao. The Chen family had never been optimistic about Cao Cao when they were princes from all over the country.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was the only one who got Xuzhou now.

Guo Yi immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao is not here. He personally led an army to Yuzhou to suppress the rebellion. Now he is conquering Gepi Yellow Turban."

"What? He's in Yuzhou?!"

Chen Deng didn't know the military situation, he only thought that with so many soldiers and horses, Lv Bu was cornered, maybe Cao Cao led the troops himself.

He didn't even come.

"Bao Xiang, you..."

Chen Deng looked at Bao Xin in surprise, unbelievable.

It turned out that when making the military strategy, it was already planned. This plan made Lu Bu dare not act rashly, so he could only defend Tancheng.

But to this day, no one knows that Cao Cao is not on the Xuzhou battlefield. They only saw his handsome flag. Taking this opportunity, he has already won Yuzhou.

I'm afraid not to mention Lu Bu, even Yuan Shu in Yangzhou couldn't predict it.

"Haha," Guo Yi and Bao Xin looked at each other and smiled, then patted Chen Deng on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yuanlong, don't be so surprised, you will see the Lord after a while."

"For the time being, Xuzhou's government can follow Yanzhou's policy of using troops to station troops. After taking over the various places, let Bao Xiang arrange generals to guard them for the time being."

"After a few days of rest, we still have to go after Lu Bu."

After Guo Yi finished speaking, Chen Deng sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Okay, since that's the case, I have nothing to say. Lu Bu's loss is not unfair."

"Back then, Tao Gongzu himself was not wronged. Now that I, Xuzhou, can be governed by Mr. Cao, maybe we will be prosperous and stable in the future."

Cao Gong not only used military strategies a lot, but also promoted favorable policies, which is the greatest blessing.

Perhaps, Xuzhou is also good in his hands.

only……

Chen Deng sighed slightly.

With these counselors by his side, it may be difficult for the Chen family to be relied on again. If they want to regain their prominent status in the past, they must rely on real performance.

Chen Deng took a sneak peek at Guo Yi, full of thoughts in his heart.

You must find an opportunity to visit this person before you can inquire about the news and know the situation of the people in Yanzhou and the current situation of the Cao family's struggle for supremacy.

……

night.

Chen Deng had just handed over a lot of affairs, and gave the books to Guo Yi as a gift, and when he was about to go back, he passed by Guo Yi's military tent in the barracks.

I just glanced at it from a distance and found that Guo Yi was studying at the moment.

The books and classics that I gave him were all piled up on the case, and he was smiling, sitting and flipping through them without fear of resignation.

Guo Yi didn't follow the rules in his movements. He stood up with one foot and opened the other casually, with a serious and focused expression.

Looking at it like this, Chen Deng's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to have a deep talk with Guo Yi immediately.

However, he is very tired now.

"Don't Guo Mengyu feel tired?"

He just came from Xiapi today, the journey was tiring, and he was busy for another day. Together with Bao Xiang, he arranged a lot of civil and military affairs, and checked the income in the city.

It is also necessary to order the resettlement of the people and choose to take advantage of the war.

"Forget it, another day is fine."

Chen Deng took a deep look and passed by the military tent.

The same goes for the second night.

Guo Yi dealt with military affairs all day long, received heroes who defected from various places, and at the same time went to the army and generals to mobilize soldiers, distribute armaments, and register in the army register.

After a busy day, when Chen Deng passed by, he still saw Guo Yi burning an oil lamp and studying hard all night.

Therefore, he admired him even more.

"Worthy of being Xun Shuang's disciple, this serenity and determination are worth learning from my generation."

"Heaven rewards hard work. If you are so diligent and studious, you must read a lot of books before you can use what you have learned in government orders. This is the blessing of all people."

Chen Deng observed secretly, and already knew Guo Yi and Bao Xin quite well.

Therefore, a few days later, he sent a letter from his family to his father Chen Gui, intending to invest the capital of the troubled times in the Cao family.

The Chen family's wealth can be combined into tens of thousands of soldiers and cavalry. If it belongs to a certain family, it can lead the people and help the people, and become the career of the five hegemons.

At the beginning, it was planned to leave it to Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei refused to accept Xuzhou. After Lu Bu took office, Chen Deng observed for a long time and felt that he should not support this person, so he had to give up.

With the prestige of the Chen family, it is enough to support a party of princes in troubled times, but what they want is their entrustment.

Today, Bao Xin is chivalrous, resourceful, and generous.

Guo Yi is so diligent, studious, and talented in economics, he is willing to devote himself to Cao's command.

Cao Cao reused Yingchuan gentry in Yanzhou, and at the same time he could also use Xuzhou gentry to govern Xuzhou.

Maybe it's a good way out.

For a while, Chen Deng looked forward to meeting Cao Cao even more.
