Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 531: Changes in Xuzhou

"In this way, it all depends on the arrangement of the adults. There are only a dozen or so confidantes in the hands of the humble official, and there are many others who are dissatisfied with the humble official. You must be careful in your actions. Although Guan Yu is a general, he is as careful as a hair." Li Han said.

Chen Gui glanced at Li Han in surprise, he didn't expect that Li Han, who was so nervous, had such a careful side, and said with a smile: "General Li, don't worry, you just need to order your confidants to guard the city gate and treat the old man well." When you bring people to the city gate, just respond, and as for the soldiers who don’t listen to you, you can make them disappear directly.”

Li Han clasped his fists and said, "If that's the case, I will leave my humble position."

"General Li, you just stay in the house and wait for tomorrow night. Your family will also be arranged by the old man. Their safety depends on you." Chen Gui said sinisterly.

One day passed quickly, Li Han was just a small gatekeeper general in the army, even if he disappeared, it would not attract attention, and Li Han's family and Chen Gui secretly sent people to appease him, but he was not caught. People find out what.

Chou Shi just arrived, and after Li Han left, Chen Gui led 3000 private soldiers from the two families towards the west gate guarded by Li Han. With so many people walking on the street, it is easy to attract the attention of patrolling soldiers. Chen Gui had never experienced the omission of a real battle.

Li Han had already been waiting anxiously at the gate of the city. The soldiers were very puzzled by Li Han's performance tonight. Many soldiers went up to express their concern and greetings, but Li Han pushed them aside. Li Han was startled suddenly when he saw the voice and the shadowy soldiers. Could it be that they were discovered? Looking at the soldiers around him, there was nothing wrong with it.

When the agreed flag could be seen faintly under the light of the torch, Li Han didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered: "Open the city gate!"

"General, you can't open the city gate without the general's order!" A soldier said.

Li Han's eyes turned cold, and he pulled out the saber from his waist with a clang. The light of the sword flashed, and the head of the soldier who spoke out to resist was in a different place, and blood splashed all over Li Han's face, "Open the city gate!"

More than a dozen confidants hurried forward and pushed the city gate. Amidst the creaking sound, a crack appeared in the city gate.

When Guan Yu learned that there were soldiers looking at the west of the city, he was shocked. He hurriedly mounted his horse and led the cavalry to the west gate. Guan Yu was stationed at the east gate. There is a long distance from the east gate to the west gate. .

Soldiers suddenly appeared in the city and approached the west gate, and Guan Yu realized that something was wrong. Ever since Cao Jun besieged Pengcheng, there was a curfew in the city. Transfer, but after waiting for Guan Yu to know everything, half an hour has passed.

The city gate opened slowly, and Chen Gui smiled openly, as if victory was just around the corner.

"My lord, it's too bad, Guan Yu led the cavalry to kill." A soldier hurriedly walked up to Chen Gui and said.

Chen Gui held back the soldiers and said, "How many people are there?"

"I don't know, it's so dense, it's innumerable!"

Chen Gui let go of the soldiers, and said in a firm tone: "We have an incident, and we have no choice but to launch it. If more troops in the city arrive, we will surely die. We can only fight hard to welcome General Cao's troops into the city."

The Patriarch of the Li Family said: "Master Chen's words are reasonable, but Guan Yu is unstoppable, what should we do?"

"Order a thousand soldiers to resist to the death, as long as we block Guan Yu for a while, we will win!" Chen Gui said.

Cao Jun outside the city had already heard the movement in the city, and seeing the city gate creaking open, many soldiers were even more excited, holding the reins tightly, and only waiting for the general to give an order to enter the city.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Pengcheng can be broken!"

"Xu Zhu, you lead [-] cavalrymen to enter the city. Anyone who encounters resistance will be killed without mercy. Those who surrender don't need to pay attention. After capturing their weapons, gather together and leave some cavalry guards."

"Promise!" Xu Zhu bowed to accept the order, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Recently, Guan Yu has shown too much sharpness, which made Cao Jun's generals more or less lose face, and now is the time to save face in one fell swoop. .

"Cao Ren, you lead 1000 soldiers into the city and capture the prefect's mansion. Xiahou Dun, you lead 1000 troops to the south of the city. Xiahou Yuan, you lead 3 troops to the north of the city..." Cao Cao skillfully gave all the orders, and the city The Xuzhou army has [-] people, and it is still very powerful when it rebounds, so it has to be guarded against.

In order to capture Pengcheng, Cao Cao invested all his cavalry in an attempt to defeat the Xuzhou army's resistance in the fastest possible time. It is best to occupy six city gates, besiege Guan Yu in the city, and cut off Liu Bei's left and right arms. After Guan Yu, one can imagine what kind of situation Liu Beijun will fall into, and Cao Jun's power will reach the highest level.

Guan Yu fought hard, the private soldiers of the aristocratic family were the opponents, seeing the retreat of the former army, they scattered and fled.

At this time, Chen Deng had taken over the control of the city gate, guarded by two thousand soldiers, even if Guan Yu led the army to arrive, it would not be able to break through overnight.

Cao Jun's war horse neighed outside the city, and Zhou Cang, who hastily led the army, saw this and persuaded: "General, retreat!"

Guan Yu resolutely said: "No, as long as you defeat the soldiers in front of you and occupy the city gate, you can stop Cao Jun from outside the city!"

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. No matter how fast Guan Yu kills, it will take a while for two thousand people. At this time, General Cao Jun Xu Zhu has led [-] cavalry to fight Guan Yu.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, Cao Jun's cavalry was elite, Guan Yu couldn't resist, fought for a while, and led the cavalry to retreat to the east of the city, where there were [-] troops, as long as they could be mobilized, it would not be difficult to drive Cao Jun out of Pengcheng.

After entering the city, the generals of the various ministries acted quickly according to the established goals. Cao Jun's rapid advance and mastery of the terrain in the city put Guan Yu in a critical situation. Even if the soldiers were gathered together in a hurry, it was difficult to form an effective The combat effectiveness fell apart under the charge of Cao Jun.

Guan Yu still wanted to resist, Zhou Cang persuaded: "General, most of Cao's army has already entered the city. If you guard the six gates, all soldiers will be surrounded by Cao's army. Think twice!"

Cao Jun guarded the city gate before, followed by a large army chasing after him. Guan Yu had to work hard to open the city gate and escape from the city.

Guan Yu was defeated and left the city with only more than 5000 soldiers and horses, [-] when he left, and [-] when he returned. One can imagine the feeling in his heart, and his resentment towards Cao Jun reached an unprecedented level.

After winning Pengcheng, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and rewarded the three armies in the city. Chen Gui even gained power, and was named Pengcheng Order by Cao Cao, in charge of the city's affairs.

Chen Gui was granted the order of Pengcheng, but at this time Chen Deng was still working under Liu Bei. How could Liu Bei let Chen Deng go when he was so angry? Chen Gui also persuaded Chen Deng to return to Pengcheng in a letter, but Chen Deng of rejection.

After capturing Pengcheng, Cao Jun was able to direct his troops at Xiapi.

Chen Deng is deeply trusted in Liu Bei's army. As long as it comes from Chen Deng's strategy, Liu Bei will follow and become the new top figure in the Xuzhou army. Even when Cao Bao usually sees Chen Deng, he is also respectful. There are only a few counselors under his command, and he happened to meet Chen Deng, who is a great talent. The joy in his heart can be imagined, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Chen Deng already knew about his father's secret refuge in Cao Jun. If he went from Liu Bei's account to Cao Jun in such a dishonorable manner, he would definitely not be taken seriously. The counselors in Cao Jun are not like Liu Bei's subordinates, so he wants An even greater credit is given to Cao Cao, who made the Chen family's position in Xuzhou completely stable.

"My lord, I recently heard that Cao's army is attacking fiercely outside Pengcheng. I am worried that General Guan will not be able to stop Cao's army. I request to go to Xiapi to assist General Zhang in defending the city!" Chen Deng said.

Liu Bei did not doubt that he was there, and was about to agree, when Sun Qian questioned, "Master Chen, General Zhang is stationed at Xiapi. It is expected to be safe, and the affairs of the city still need to be handled by your lord. It may be inappropriate to leave now."

Chen Dengdao: "Cao's army violated the territory, how can the humble official sit idly by? In the past, Cao Cao committed heinous murders in Xuzhou. The humble official can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and hope that the master can make it happen!"

Seeing that Chen Deng did not seem to be a fake, Sun Gan's doubts disappeared immediately.

"It's our army's good fortune that Yuanlong has such a heart. After Mr. arrives at Xiapi, he will be in charge of all the affairs of Xiapi. With Mr. at Xiapi, I will have no worries!" Liu Bei said, grabbing Chen Deng's arm.

"Thank you, my lord, I will do my best!"

"General Zhang has a strong personality, and I'm afraid he won't obey Mr. Chen's orders." Sun Gan said.

Liu Bei laughed and said, "What's the difficulty? Bring my double-strand sword. The third brother will definitely accept the military order when he sees this."

After Chen Deng brought Liu Bei's double-strand sword to Xiapi, Zhang Fei obediently gave up his military power. With Chen Deng's method, it was not easy to punish Zhang Fei. In a few words, Zhang Fei and the army were isolated. , and what Chen Deng said is all reasonable, even if Zhang Fei is not angry, there is nothing he can do about it, the elder brother's double-strand sword is in front of him, if he doesn't give Chen Deng face, he will definitely be in trouble when he goes back.

Zhang Fei is fond of drinking, Chen Deng did what he liked, and brought a lot of good wine. In the name of rewarding the three armies, he got Zhang Fei drunk. The Chen family is quite powerful in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng even placed him in the army. There are quite a few confidants, and the general power is easily occupied. Zhang Fei himself was also imprisoned in Xiapi City. A poor general, who was honestly punished by Chen Deng, who has no power to restrain a chicken.

Guan Yu led more than [-] soldiers to the foot of Xiapi City. When he saw that Chen Deng was guarding the city gate, he was about to enter the city.

"Master Chen, long time no see, do you know where my third brother is?" Guan Yu said loudly.

"General Zhang has been transferred back by the lord, and now I'm in charge of the troops, guarding Xiapi, and defending against Cao's troops. Isn't General Guan in Pengcheng? What's wrong, he came to Xiapi?" Chen Deng said.
