The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

General Ji Ling of the Yuan Army led the vanguard army towards Huailing City. At this time, Tan Ma ran towards Ji Ling on horseback.

"Report! Report to the general! Song Xian, Lu Bu's subordinate in front, is blocking the way."

"Come forward!"

Lei Bo and Chen Lan: "Yes!"

Ji Ling took the lead and led the army to charge towards Lu Bu's subordinate Song Xian's troops.

When Song Xian saw Ji Ling charging towards him with his troops, he turned around and ran away, with Ji Ling chasing after him.

Ji Ling shouted to kill: "All soldiers, follow me and rush over to relieve the siege of Huailing."

"Here."

When Lu Bu's subordinate Cao Xing, who was hiding behind a tree, saw Yuan Jun coming from the front, he quietly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot it.

"what!"

Chen Lan shouted, fell off his horse, and died on the spot.

When Ji Ling saw this, he was shocked. The arrow was aimed at him, but it missed and hit Chen Lan.

When Cao Xing saw that he had shot Ji Ling, he couldn't help but feel regretful. The opportunity was fleeting, and it was impossible to steal the cold arrow again. He turned his horse's head and wanted to retreat.

How could Ji Ling give Cao Xing another chance and rush towards Cao Xing on his horse?

"kill!!!"

"what!!!"

Cao Xing was approached by Ji Ling. He was unable to take precautions and was stabbed under his horse with a spear, killing him.

Night, go to Pi City.

Chen Deng came to his father Chen Gui's residence.

"Father!"

"Ok?"

"Father! Now Yuan Shu has joined Liu Bei and led the army here. My son has to do something big. Father, do you have any instructions?"

"Well! Yuan Shu once said at the beginning that everything in Xuzhou will be left to you. Now that Lu Bu will be defeated, I should take advantage of Lu Bu to go to war and secretly help Liu!"

Whether it's Lu Bu, Liu Bei, or even Yuan Shu, they are all gifts presented to the north by the Chen family in Xiapi. Only in this way can the family's prosperity be preserved.

"My son will take care of matters outside. My father can ask Lu Bu for orders to guard Xuzhou. If Lu Bu is defeated, he will not be allowed to enter the city."

"Yeah! This is a good plan. But what if you stay in the city with Lu Bu?"

"You have your own plan to escape."

"It is easy not to let Lu Bu enter the city, but his wife and young child are still in Xuzhou, and there are many people in the city. What can be done?"

"My son has plans to deal with the city's central henchmen and their wives and children, so don't worry, father!"

Chen Gui was relieved and said, "Okay! Lu Bu is ruthless and capricious. You should be careful when going here and don't take any risks!"

"Yes! Father."

Ji Ling arrived too late. Huai Ling was captured by Lu Bu and the east gate of Jiujiang County was opened. He could only lead his troops to retreat to Zhongli to confront Lu Bu.

At this time, Chen Deng and his people came to see Lu Bu with lots of food and grass.

"General!"

"It's Yuanlong."

Although Lu Bu wanted to continue to attack Jiujiang, he was unable to do so. After fighting for days, the soldiers were exhausted and needed to rest. Moreover, there were 20,000 Ji Ling blocking the front, and they could not attack for a while. The two sides were temporarily in a stalemate.

But the stalemate is not good for Lu Bu. He doesn't have as much money and food as Yuan Shu, and he doesn't have as many troops as Yuan Shu. Moreover, the south is using troops. What if the north is in chaos?
War must be resolved quickly.

"Chen Gong was sent by me to guard Xiao County, how can he attack Yuan? Yuan Long should help me with all his heart!"

"Yes! General. Since the general attacked Jiujiang, there has been internal turmoil in Xuzhou. Zang Ba in the north is ready to make a move. Yuan Shu personally leads the army to Xiaopei."

"Hmph! Wait for me to kill Yuan Shu first, and then go find Zang Ba!"

"Now that Xuzhou is surrounded by enemies, the situation is bound to be dangerous. The general should think about retreating first and then thinking about advancing! General, it is better to move the grain, grass and coins to Xiapi first. If Pengcheng is besieged, Xiapi will have grain to save, so the general should make plans as soon as possible. "

Lu Bu felt that Chen Deng was right. Pengcheng was close to Xiaopei, and the cunning rabbit still had three burrows. How could it be called?
"What Yuan Long said is absolutely true. Song Xian, Wei Xu!"

Song and Wei: "The general is here!"

Generals Song Xian and Wei Xu came over.

"I want you two to move the food and grass in the city to Xiaopi as soon as possible, and take my Xiaoyi with them." "Yes!"

"Yuanlong!"

"exist!"

"I order you to lead people to garrison in Xiao County and cooperate with Chen Gong to prevent Yuan Shu from attacking Pengcheng."

"As ordered."

"Yeah! So best!"

"General! Chen Deng takes the first step."

After Chen Deng finished speaking, he walked down the city tower and headed to Xiao County.

#
At night, Chen Gong stood on the city tower in Xiao County and looked at Cao Jun's camp outside the city. I saw that the entire Xiao County city had been surrounded by Yuan's army. At this time, Chen Deng hurriedly climbed onto the tower and came to Chen Gong.

"My lord deeply blames you for waiting to fight, and I want to come here personally to punish you."

"Yuan's army is powerful now, so we cannot underestimate the enemy. Our army is here to guard the pass and would rather die than lose it. You can go back and persuade the lord that it is the best policy to withdraw his troops and retreat."

Chen Gong is now physically and mentally exhausted. He only has 3,000 men at his disposal. How can he deal with Yuan Shu and his 30,000 troops? It was a mistake for Lu Bu to attack Yuan Shu out of anger this time. Xiaopei has already been lost. If Xiaoxian is lost again, Pengcheng will be wide open and Xuzhou will be in danger.

"Yes!"

Chen Deng was about to walk down the tower when he was stopped by Chen Gong.

"Slow down! You must not offer any advice to persuade the lord to continue to advance rashly."

"Yes!"

Chen Deng walked down the tower.

Late at night, Chen Deng quietly came to the city tower in Xiao County again, tied the written letter to an arrow, and shot it at Cao Ying.

"Someone is shooting arrows from the city!"

When Chen Deng heard the shouting, he looked around and quietly slipped down the tower.

#
The letter sent by Chen Deng was delivered to Yuan's desk by the guard.

"Lord!"

"Ok?"

Yuan Shu put down the wine cup in his hand, opened the letter and read it, and he was immediately overjoyed.

(Chen Deng): Chen Deng bowed his head to worship Duke Yuan. This letter helps the Duke capture Xiao Pass. When the fire breaks out in the city tomorrow night, I will use a trick to lure Chen Gong out of the pass, so that I can seize the pass with my army and go straight to Xuzhou.

Yuan Shu opened the second letter.

(Chen Deng): This letter will help the Duke capture Pengcheng. When Chen Gong was defeated and returned to Xuzhou, my father had already captured the city and quickly sent troops to respond.

Yuan Shu stood up happily and read the letter over and over again: "Hmm! Haha! Haha... ok! Okay! Hmm! Haha... ok! Ah! Chen Yuanlong is in the turbulent waves, but his ears are wet! Haha... ok! Good! Haha..."

"Lu Bu, let's see where you run this time! Humph!"

With that said, Yuan Shu walked out of the military tent and said, "Send the order to the entire army to rest for a day and seize Xiao County tomorrow night."

"Here."

"Summon Liu Bei here to discuss matters."

"Here."

#
Liu Bei received Yuan Shu's order and hurried over.

"Ming Gong."

"Xuande, Xuzhou can be defeated overnight. I order you to lead the army to Pengcheng tomorrow."

"Pengcheng?"

Liu Bei was confused, how could he get to Pengcheng before Xiao County was captured?
"It has been found out that the Pengcheng guard is your old acquaintance Chen Gui. Do you know what to do?"

"Here."

Liu Bei was indispensable for the capture of Xiaopei. Relying on his good reputation for many years, Xiaopei failed without attack. Yuan Shu planned to repeat his old tricks and capture Pengcheng.

After Liu Bei left, Yuan Shu felt very proud.

"Since I got the jade seal and conquered a prince, now I want to take down another prince. God is really going to destroy the Han Dynasty, and I want to replace him!"

Yuan Shu's ambitions continued to expand because of the jade seal. (End of chapter)
