Beast King Three Kingdoms

() (Second update, please collect, recommend, and reward!)

In this rally, Cao Bao's several words were quite reasonable, and Tao Qian also had some confidence in him.

After hearing Chen Dengzhi's words, Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao expectantly.

Seeing this, Cao Bao was very embarrassed. He just wanted to refute Chen Deng, and there was no clever plan.

At this time, Bie Jia joined Mi Zhu and said, "My lord! In Zhu's view, we may admit defeat, then send more money, food and grass, make friends with Yuan Shu, or turn enemies into friends and attract foreign aid. "

Tao Qian's eyes lit up, Xuzhou is a fertile land with a lot of people and affluent people, and the treasury has enough money and food, even if they give away some, it will be harmless, if they can make friends with Yuan Shu with this, Tao Qian will naturally be happy to see the success.

"Impossible! Yuan Shu sieges cities and lands. He is ambitious. Giving him money and food is like feeding a tiger. Sooner or later, he will be devoured by it." Chen Deng quickly retorted, Yuan Shu is the enemy of his future master, and suppressing him is already powerless, but He will definitely object to sending money and food.

"Yuan Shu is already strong enough. If he gets Xuzhou's money and food again, who else in the world can subdue him?" Chen Deng decided to oppose it no matter what.

Mi Zhu glanced at Chen Deng, and said calmly: "Our army is going out this time to respond to the Jingzhou alliance. As long as the lord withdraws from the alliance and sends money and food, Yuan Shu will naturally not make things difficult."

"The general thinks that Zi Zhong's words are reasonable, but my lord will not guard against it." Cao Bao echoed.

Who is the person who is most worried about starting a war with Yuan Shu?It was Cao Bao. After all, he was Xuzhou's chief general. When the war started, he would naturally bear the brunt.

After this battle, Cao Bao almost lost the courage to face Yuan Jun. It would be great for him to have a truce. At the same time, in terms of personal matters, since Chen Deng objected, he would of course agree.

What Mi Zhu said was indeed very reasonable, and Chen Deng didn't know how to refute it for a while.

At this time, Chen Gui suddenly said: "In fact, my lord, there is no need to worry! As long as Liu Biao of Jingzhou is here, my Xuzhou will be as safe as Mount Tai."

"What do you mean by that?" Tao Qian asked curiously.

"Jingzhou is located behind Yuan Hou. If you enter from Nanjun, you can attack Xiangyang; if you enter from Jiangxia, you can attack Huainan; if you pass through Yuzhang, you can attack Jiangdong. It is expected that Yuan Shu will take Jingzhou first, not Xuzhou, otherwise If Liu Biao took advantage of his northward attack to attack Xiangyang, or invade Huainan and Jiangdong, (Yuan) would be in chaos after the operation, and there would be no time to retreat, so why would he want to attack Xuzhou?” Chen Gui analyzed lightly.

Tao Qian nodded slightly. After Chen Gui's analysis, it became clear at a glance that the possibility of Yuan Shu going north was indeed very small.

"Mr. Han Yu's words are reasonable, but can you guarantee that Yuan Shu will not invade Xuzhou?" Mi Zhu asked rhetorically.

"This..." Chen Gui really couldn't guarantee it. According to common sense, Yuan Shu would definitely not go north to attack Xuzhou, but who knew what Yuan Shu was thinking.

Seeing this, Mi Zhu knew that Chen Gui couldn't guarantee it, so he smiled slightly, turned to Tao Qian and said, "My lord! My Xuzhou is richer than Jingzhou, so it's hard to guarantee that Yuan Shu won't be tempted. How can I place my hope on mere speculation?"

At this time, Xuzhou had not experienced Cao Cao's massacre of the city and several wars, so it was far more prosperous than in the future. Even Jizhou in Hebei did not dare to say that it was richer than Xuzhou, and it may not be unreasonable for Mi Zhu to say so.

Of course, Mi Zhu didn't know, but Chen Gui guessed right. Yuan Shu didn't want to get involved in the Central Plains War for the time being, so he didn't have much interest in Xuzhou Xingbei's land.

"What Zizhong said is true! It is a matter of Xuzhou's life and death, my lord should treat it with caution." Cao Bao had never thought that Mi Zhu was so 'cute', and he wished he could come forward and kiss him a few times.

"My lord, please be careful!" Cao officials urged one after another.

The same word, quite a bit of persecution. <Sue Yuan Shu for peace. "

Seeing this, Chen Deng's expression changed, and he was about to go out to persuade him, but saw his father Chen Gui kept winking at him.

Seeing this, Chen Deng stopped and stood silently on the spot.

Chen Gui could see clearly that after the loss of Jiangdu, the power of the Chen family would definitely be greatly reduced, so other aristocratic families in Xuzhou wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the Chen family and push them out of the center of power in Xuzhou.

This is the time when the Chen family is at its weakest, and it is absolutely necessary to endure it, otherwise it may be swallowed up by other families.

Tao Qian pondered for a while, and asked the crowd, "I don't know who would like to go?"

"The subordinates are willing to go!" One person came out and said.

Tao Qian saw that it was Sun Gan from Qingzhou.

Sun Qian was eloquent, and because he was a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, Tao Qian respected him very much.

At that moment, Tao Qian said with great joy: "Gongyou's eloquence is excellent, and he can be entrusted!"

After the agreement, Tao Qian ordered everyone to go down to prepare.

Out of the lobby, Cao Bao grabbed Mi Zhu, cupped his fists and said, "Zi Zhong's theory today is really unpredictable, it opened Bao Bao's eyes, and he will know that Zi Zhong is a great talent."

Mi Zhu replied with a smile, and said, "General Cao's praise! If it wasn't for a 'wise move' this time, my Xuzhou army would be in danger! Zhu admires the general's talent."

In fact, Mi Zhu has selfish motives in opposing Chen Deng and his son today.

The Mi family is a family of merchants. Although they are powerful and wealthy, their status is not high, and they are even despised by others.

In Xuzhou, although the Cao family and other families looked down on the Mi family, they did not insult them. Only the Chen family seemed to have a deep hatred with the Mi family.

Mi Zhu's teeth itch with hatred in his heart, but the strength of the Chen family is not inferior to that of the Mi family. Chen Deng and his sons are all strategists, and they are very useful to Tao Qian, so naturally Mi Zhu can't move them.

However, regardless of Xuzhou's losses in this battle, the Chen family definitely suffered heavy losses. Even the Jiangdu, their foundation, was gone, which can be described as a serious loss of vitality.

Naturally, Mi Zhu would not let go of such a good opportunity. What happened in the hall was just the beginning. Mi Zhu had already decided to mobilize the power of the family after returning home and severely suppress the Chen family.

Looking at Cao Bao in front of him, Mi Zhu's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Is General Cao free? If you are free, Zhu will hold a banquet in the mansion to welcome General Cao."

Cao Bao's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, "I'll trouble Zizhong with that!"

So the two went to Mi's mansion together.

It was night, and Mi Mansion was brightly lit, full of joyful songs and laughter.

Compared to the bustling Mi Mansion, the Chen Mansion is a bit deserted.

After Chen Deng and his son returned to the mansion, they directly closed the door to thank the guests. In fact, there was no need to do this. The Chen family fell into such a land, and everyone avoided it. How could they come to the door.

In the main hall, Chen Deng and his son sat facing each other.

"Father! I can't be entrusted anymore. I found the Ming Lord that morning and offered it to Xuzhou. Otherwise, my Chen family may..."

Before Chen Deng could finish speaking, Chen Gui interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly: "You first tell the details of the battle."

"Uh...Okay!" Chen Deng was taken aback for a moment, not daring to contradict him, and explained the battle in detail.

After hearing this, Chen Gui thought about it for himself, but Chen Deng didn't dare to disturb him, and waited quietly.

After a while, Chen Gui stood up suddenly, walked to the case, flipped through for a while, found a few volumes of letters, and began to study them silently.

After a long time, Chen Gui sighed and said, "Oh! I'm old, I'm old, I've lost my sight."

At this time, Chen Gui seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, his eyes were cloudy, and he was no longer as bright as before.

In fact, the reason why Chen Gui opposed Yuan Shu was not just because Yuan Shu suppressed the family, but the biggest reason was that he himself was not optimistic about Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shu has conquered all over the years and gained a great reputation, everyone in the world is paying attention, but Chen Gui feels that Yuan Shu's expansion is too fast and there are many hidden dangers.

First of all, suppressing the aristocratic family will definitely cause a backlash; secondly, although the territory is large, the population is extremely sparse; lastly, Jiangdong Shanyue, Chen Gui does not believe that Yuan Shu can solve the problems that have plagued the Han Dynasty for decades or hundreds of years.

With these three points, Chen Gui is not optimistic about Yuan Shu, thinking that he will surely lose in the future.

But after carefully studying the information on Yuan Shu's territories such as Huainan and Jiangdong just now, Chen Gui finally found that the three problems of family, population, and Shanyue had been solved by Yuan Shu, and the solution was perfect.

Now that Yuan Shu has resolved the hidden dangers, his rise cannot be stopped.

"The family's decline is my fault!" Chen Gui sighed.

"Father!" Chen Deng didn't know how to persuade him.

Chen Gui waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Shu! The hero, I was wrong in the past. You must be very careful in the future."

"Remember!" Chen Deng hurriedly said.

After a pause, Chen Deng asked cautiously: "Father! Since Yuan Shu is the hero, can we..."

Chen Gui shook his head dejectedly, and said, "If Xuyi wasn't guarded by you, it might still be possible, but it's impossible now."

"Father! The world knows that Yuan Shu cherishes talents. Otherwise, he would not hesitate to offend the family and issue an order to seek talents. Father also said that he is a hero. Presumably there is still some measure." Chen Deng said.

"You are still too young!" Chen Gui glanced at Chen Deng and sighed.
