The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 69 Rumors Spread
More than 1000 arrows were shot at the city at the same time. Although Chen Gui was old, he reacted very quickly. He immediately pulled Tao Qian back and ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to resist.However, the arrows fired by Zhao Yunjun did not shoot at the soldiers. His goal was to shoot into the city, and saw the rain of arrows falling into the city continuously, and the people who were close to the city wall ran away to avoid it.

"What's going on here? Could it be that Zhao Yunjun's arrow skills are so bad?" Mi Fang mocked.

"It's unlikely, how could Zhao Yun do such a useless thing." Chen Gui felt that the matter was not that simple.

"Huh? There seems to be something tied to this arrow." Mi Zhu bent down to pick up an arrow on the ground, and found that it was tied with a white cloth, so he took it apart and looked at it. After reading it, his expression changed dramatically.

"Zi Zhong, what's written on it?" Chen Gui asked.

"It says that Tao Qian is the shameless lord. Chen Deng has turned his back on the dark, and conspired with his father Chen Gui to capture Tao Qian, intending to open the city and surrender!" Mi Zhu's voice trembled a little, thinking to himself that Zhao Yun's plan was really true. It is vicious enough to drive a wedge between Chen Gui and Tao Qian.

"Hmph, Chen Gui, you old guy, you actually want to capture the Lord and surrender to the city, I'll kill you, a shameless bastard right now!" Mi Fang said angrily, grabbing Chen Gui's collar with one hand, wanting to do something to him .

"Zifang don't mess around, let go of Chen Zhubo!" Mi Zhu hurriedly shouted, no matter whether Chen Gui surrendered for real or fake surrender, they can't do anything to him. After all, Chen Gui is the person they rely on the most now, let alone him. If you really want to surrender, why bother to offer a plan to ask for help from the three parties.

Chen Gui took the white cloth from Mi Zhu's hand and read the words written on it several times. Now he can basically confirm that Chen Dengyi has surrendered. Based on his understanding of his son, Chen Deng should have been forced to surrender, but at this moment There were rumors that he was going to capture Tao Qian and surrender. What he was afraid of was that Tao Qian would no longer trust him, and Tao Qian's generals would mistake him for a traitor.

"Han Yu, don't panic. I believe you are not that kind of person. How can you prove that you are going to conspire with Chen Deng to harm me." Tao Qian patted Chen Gui on the shoulder and comforted him. Not only did he have no doubts , and trusted Chen Gui very much.

"My lord, why do you still want to protect him? Could it be that we really have to wait until he betrays us to see his true colors? Chen Deng has already surrendered to Li Yuan, so please be more enlightened, my lord!" Mi Fang still didn't believe Chen Gui. Chen Gui has become a member of Li Yuan's side, as the saying goes, strike first to be strong and then suffer disaster, it is better to use him first than wait for Chen Gui to open the city and surrender.

"Zifang don't talk nonsense anymore, I believe Mr. Chen is not that kind of person!" Mi Zhu pulled Mi Fang away.Mi Fang had no choice but to sulk alone, he really couldn't understand why Tao Qian and his elder brother defended Chen Gui, an old fellow, so much.

"My lord, the arrows that Zhao Yunjun shot up this time must have been written about such rumors. Soon these rumors will spread throughout Langya, and I'm afraid it will cause the army's morale to be unstable." Chen Gui was very grateful for Tao Qian's trust, but What he thought more about was that such rumors would definitely affect the soldiers under his command. If everyone fearfully suspected that he would open the city and surrender, how would the soldiers be able to defend the city with peace of mind.

The rumors about Zhao Yun's book caused quite a stir in Langya. The civil servants and generals under Tao Qian kept a certain distance from Chen Gui, especially Mi Fang, who hated Chen Gui very much.

Two days later, Li Yuan personally led the army to Langya. Zhao Yun did not take the initiative to challenge him these two days, but waited for the arrival of Li Yuan's troops. It was a ploy by Zhao Yun to create rumors. The purpose was to make Tao Qian's army unstable. Monarch and ministers are at odds.

After receiving the news that Li Yuan's army was about to attack the city, the people in Langya were not calm. Many people had heard of the strength of Li Yuan's army. They didn't believe that Tao Qian could defend the city at all, and it was rumored that Chen Gui wanted to open the city. Rumors of surrender put everyone in danger for a while.

In the camp, Li Yuan was about to discuss the important matters of attacking the city with the generals, when suddenly someone came to report that Kong Rong in Beihai, Bao Xin in Jibei, and Zhang Chao in Guangling had sent troops to support Tao Qian. It is estimated that it will arrive within two hours.

"I didn't expect Tao Qian to be able to invite the army of the three routes. It was really unexpected." Zhao Yun had sent people to watch out for various road sections to prevent surprise attacks by soldiers and horses, but he did not expect Tao Qian to be able to invite the princes of the three parties to help at the same time.

Li Yuan seemed to have expected this, and said: "I have heard for a long time that there is a minister named Mi Zhu under Tao Qian's command. He is a wealthy man in Xuzhou. Strange, but the only guess wrong is that Zhang Chao did not attack Xiapi, but directly came to Langya to support Tao Qian."

Originally Li Yuan thought that Zhang Chao would use the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao to attack Xiapi and force him to retreat to save Tao Qian, but Zhang Chao didn't do that, and smart people sometimes make mistakes.

"Hmph, Tao Qian is really disgusting. If you can't beat the lord, you even call someone to help. If you have the ability, come out and fight us one-on-one, and see who is better!" Guan Hai couldn't help but cursed. He had already disliked Tao Qian. Being rejected now has the opportunity to naturally want to take a good breath.

"However, with the addition of Tao Qian, my lord will have to face the four princes this time, and the situation is very unfavorable to us." Li Tong's face was serious. Li Yuan was not afraid of any side, but the combined strength of the four princes was too much. .

"Junior brother, can you find out how many soldiers and horses the various princes have?" Li Yuan asked.

"Third senior brother, according to the report from the detectives, Bao Xin's army has 5000 soldiers, Kong Rong's army has 5000 soldiers, and Zhang Chao's army should not be less than 5. In addition to the [-] Tao Qian army in Langya City, the total enemy strength It is estimated to be around [-] people." The information was obtained by Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong himself, so the number of people basically does not vary much.

"Hahahaha, Tao Qian is really a big hand. He thinks highly of me, Li Yuan, and gathers an army of [-] to stop me." Li Yuan laughed loudly instead of worrying at all.

The original dignified atmosphere was also dissolved in Li Yuan's laughter, and Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "Although the enemy army has many soldiers and horses, they fight on their own. In addition to Tao Qian who will do his best, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin and Kong Rong If no one else knows, I guess they will only divert them from the sidelines, preventing our army from concentrating on attacking Langya."

Xi Zhicai hit the enemy's vital point with a single sentence, which is not to say that he is not powerful.Li Yuan nodded in agreement and said: "What Zhicai said is true, and now our army has 2 troops, and there are still [-] troops in Hansheng. Zhang Chao and others are more than sufficient."

"My lord, how should we retreat from the enemy?" Guan Hai asked.

"I believe that Zhicai already has a plan to defeat the enemy, so let him tell everyone." Li Yuan put this burden on Xi Zhicai, and he simply acted as a shopkeeper.

Xi Zhicai gave Li Yuan a helpless look, pointed to the sand table on the table and said: "Let's talk about Bao Xin's army first, Bao Xin's army should be the least, only about 1 people, he must come to Langya via Mount Tai, via Juping and Linyi, The road is full of mountains and rocks, I can wait for an ambush on the road, after Bao Xin leads the troops to the ambush site, push down the rolling stone from the mountain to block his way out and retreat, and then shoot with arrows, the army on this road can solve it."

"How should Zhang Chao respond this way?" Hua Xiong, who had been silent for a long time, asked.

"Zhang Chao came from Guangling, passing through Siwu and Jiqiu. Jiqiu is close to Langya, and the surrounding area is a plain with many weeds. It is autumn, which is very conducive to fire attack. We can lead Zhang Chao here. Then use the strategy of attacking with fire to annihilate them." Xi Zhicai talked eloquently, "As for the soldiers and horses on the Guangling Road, the Lord can personally lead the troops to resist. General Huang will arrive in about a day, and then we can work together with the Lord to destroy them."

Xi Zhicai took care of the three armies in a snap of his fingers, but he still didn't say anything about the other army. Li Tong asked: "Military Master, what should Tao Qian do? I'm afraid he will go out of the city to attack our army. Form a situation where the enemy faces the enemy."
