King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 542
Looking at Shi Huan who had regained his confidence, Liu Ye shook his head and sighed. He had been thinking about this plan for a few days, but Liu Ye was still a little worried. The current Cao Jun is different from the past. Liu Biao, the elite Cao Jun who lived in Runan, Wancheng and other places are still in close contact with Cao Pi, while the other places, Luoyang, Guanzhong, Xuzhou, have rarely contacted the lord, and gradually showed a bit of a separatist posture, while Liu Biao Ye, Xun You and the others have also noticed it a long time ago, but how can they control their gaffe now? If they don't surrender and betray, they are already loyal, so Liu Ye is worried that Chen Deng will not send troops, but he will not be able to hold on. Or they will not use all their strength to attack Sun Quan's rear. You must know how Sun Quan will be defenseless in the rear of the expedition. Only Chen Deng can work with all his strength. Otherwise, it will be painless.
Zhou Yu didn't care about sending someone to rush out of the siege of the Jiangdong army overnight, and rushed to the east. This person was almost inseparable because he wanted Cao Jun to ask for help. Zhou Yu had been waiting for Cao Jun's reinforcements for a long time. Zhou Yu was ready for reinforcements There are many traps on the main roads of Hefei. As long as Cao Jun comes to support, he will definitely fall into Zhou Yu's ambush, and there will be no return. This is why Zhou Yu did not attack Hefei desperately.

Xuzhou, Guangling County, and Jiangdu City in the Han Dynasty, despite the long war, Jiangdu City is still prosperous. The prefect's mansion in the city is located in the center of the city, and Chen Deng, the young Guangling prefect, is jogging. Dare to go to his mansion, the people on the side looked puzzled, "What's wrong with the prefect? ​​Did you lose money?"

"Pull it down, you're the one who is so anxious to find money after losing it! The prefect is not short of money!"

It is also Chen Deng who is not only the prefect of Guangling City, but also this Guangling, which is one of the best families in Xuzhou. Why is he so anxious today? Of course, he has received a letter from Hefei. But he is not only the prefect, but also the young head of the Chen family. Although he is in Cao Jun, every action must be for the sake of his own family, so Chen Deng thought twice and went home to discuss with his father Chen Gui.

"Father!" Chen Deng rushed to Chen Gui and handed the letter to Chen Gui. Chen Gui was an old man, so he took it over, and after reading it, he frowned.

Chen Deng asked: "Father, Liu Ye wants his son to attack Sun Quan's rear in order to preserve Hefei, but he wants my Chen family to leave Guangling and rush to Pengcheng. What should I do?" Liu Ye was right to let Chen Deng leave Guangling quickly. Originally, Guangling was the place Cao Pi wanted to give up, but now that Sun Quan is attacking Hefei, and after Chen Deng's surprise attack, if he succeeds, Sun Quan will become angry and attack Guangling. Either cross Hongze Lake Road to Linhuai, and join Shi Huan as a front line to deal with Jiangdong, or Dao Pengcheng and Chezhou Liancheng to deal with Li Lin.

But the family property of Chen Deng's family is in Guangling. How can Guangling be abandoned? Isn't this letting Chen Deng throw away the family property directly?So Chen Deng thought over and over again and couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask his father.

Chen Gui thought for a moment, then slowly said: "My son, it's time for you to support the burden of the family. The foundation of my three generations of Chen family has been handed over to you. You must not give it up!"

Chen Deng hesitated and said: "Father, under the military order of the lord, Hefei is in crisis, how can my child remedy it!"

Chen Gui was old, so naturally he could think about these things, so he said to Chen Deng: "Hey...my boy, now Cao Cao is dead, and Cao Pi is in charge. Cao Pi is unable to support the Cao family, so he has to rely on Liu Biao. , Liu accepted Cao Pi on the surface, how can he be accommodated in the real world? My son has followed Cao Cao for many years, made military exploits for Cao Cao many times, and resisted Sun Ce and others many times. Now, it is time to..."

"Father! You mean..." Chen Deng looked at Chen Gui in surprise. Chen Gui's meaning was obvious. Everything should be focused on the Chen family, and Chen Gui didn't care that Chen Deng was under the command of the lord. Like Chen Deng, who has changed hands several times, first under Tao Qian's command, then under Liu Bei's command, Lu Bu usurped Xuzhou, Chen Deng was under Liu Bei's command again, and later Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu with the help of Chen Deng, so after a look It can be seen that Chen Deng is not a person who can be loyal to his master, but to be loyal to his own family business.

Chen Gui nodded, and said: "My son is a great talent, and I will definitely be able to keep my Chen family's family business!" After saying this, Chen Gui looked at Chen Deng, who had changed hands many times, how could Chen Deng feel better, and even though the Chen family was in Xuzhou is quite famous, but how many scholars are not ashamed of him for his many betrayals!I have served as the prefect of Guangling for many years, and I have defeated Sun Ce and others many times, but I have not seen Cao Cao's promotion at all. Of course, Chen Deng is unwilling to rely on others, but what can he choose for his family?

Chen Deng knelt down in front of his father slowly, and said softly, "Father, now Li Lin is in the north and Sun Quan is in the south. I don't know what father thinks the child should do?"

Chen Gui thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "Although Li Yuanjie is powerful, sitting in the north, and has a strong army, Su Wen neglected his family, and the foundation of Jiangdong III was supported by the family, so my father thought that it would be better for my son to offer it." Go out of Guangling and join Sun Zhongmou, whether it is my son's talent or the influence of my Chen family, Sun Zhongmou will definitely use my son!"

Chen Deng bowed his head and said nothing, Chen Gui frowned, and immediately said: "My son has other ideas, feel free to tell me!" Although Chen Gui asked this, but the tone was that Chen Deng could not refuse.

Chen Deng lowered his head, and slowly closed his eyes. His father's fate was hard to bear. How could Chen Deng be allowed to choose in this world, where the king, relatives and teachers are the key link? Sun Quan!" Immediately, Chen Deng got up and left the house, and as soon as Chen Deng left, Chen Gui also had tears in his eyes, how could a hard-working father of his own child not know, but if he wanted to keep his family business, he could only wrong himself I have a child, why wasn't it like this when I was young?
Three days later, under the city of Hefei, Zhou Yu once came to fight fiercely, but this time, he did not come to attack the city, but to scold people. Zhou Yu personally cursed under the city, "Liu Ye, villain, even made a trick to let Chen Deng attack you!" Behind me, you are a sly and cunning person, what kind of face do you have to live in this world! Liu Ye, come out and answer me!"

When Shi Huan and Liu Ye on the top of the wall heard this, Liu Ye's strategy must have worked, and Chen Deng succeeded in stealing Qu'a!Liu Ye walked forward with a smile, and shouted to Zhou Yu: "Haha, Zhou Lang, you are attacked in the rear of Jiangdong, so hurry up and go back to rescue, or you won't even be able to withdraw your troops!"

"You!" Zhou Yu was furious, pointed at Liu Ye with a horsewhip, and said, "Liu Ye, you sinister villain, if you have the ability to go out of the city to fight with our army, what kind of gentleman do you sneak attack on the rear of our county!"

Liu Ye narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Boy Zhou Lang, warriors are tricky, how can there be such a thing as a gentleman?"

"Hehe, military commander!" Shi Huan, who was beside Liu Ye, laughed and said, "Military teacher, now that Jiangdong soldiers and horses know that the rear has been attacked, they must lose their morale. He for a while!"

Liu Ye slowly shook his head and said, "No, general. Zhou Yu is besieging the city. Our army hasn't got any definite news yet. Don't believe Zhou Yu's words lightly. It's better to wait and see what happens!"

Shi Huan curled his lips, being scolded by these Jiangdong people for so long, he really wanted to rush out and kill himself, but the military master's words were reasonable, so Shi Huan had no choice but to bear with it.

Zhou Yu was still yelling under the city, "Son Liu Ye, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you sneaked into the rear of our army, the three armies obey orders!"

"Here!" All the Jiangdong disciples shouted angrily behind them.

Zhou Yu waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Break through the city, and no chicken or dog will be left behind!"

When Liu Ye heard that Zhou Yu wanted to attack the city, he immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, it seems that Chen Gongtai really succeeded in attacking Qu'a!"

Shi Huan asked in confusion, "Why is the military division so sure?"

Liu Ye said: "Hmph! If it doesn't work, if Zhou Yu plans to plot against our army this time, he will definitely pretend to retreat. When our army is negligent and makes a surprise attack, how can we come to attack the city again? It must be that Zhou Yu really intends to retreat this time, and the last time Desperately attack the city, hoping to capture Hefei, so that there is no need to retreat!"

Shi Huan nodded and said, "The military advisor is right!"

Liu Ye immediately said: "The enemy army is coming up, Zhou Yu must be attacking fiercely now, the general must keep the city!"

Shi Huan smiled easily, and said: "Don't worry, military commander, Jiangdong soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to break through Hefei City!" Immediately, Shi Huan straightened his face, and immediately shouted to the soldiers under his command: "Archers are ready..."

Zhou Yu was finally defeated. Although he had a desperate fight with Shi Huan's army, he still failed to capture the city. Amidst the cheers of Cao Jun, the Jiangdong soldiers retreated slowly.Shi Huan laughed loudly on the top of the city: "Hahaha, military commander, why don't I go out of the city and cover up the Jiangdong defeated army!" In a battle to defend the city, Shi Huan didn't feel tired at all, because he won this battle. Yes, finally won, the anger that has been suppressed for a long time, I must vent it!

Liu Ye had been so cautious for a long time, and immediately said: "No! First send scouts to find out the real situation of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and our soldiers can keep the city. General, don't be impulsive!"

"Hey... okay!" Shi Huan once said discouragedly, and immediately sent dozens of scouts to investigate.

If not, someone came to report, saying: "General, military division, Jiangdong soldiers and horses have indeed retreated slowly, and General Zhou Tai is behind them, in case our army pursues them, all the cities occupied by Jiangdong troops have been vacated. , the money, food and supplies have also been transported away!"

"Okay!" Shi Huan sighed in admiration. Although he had lost a lot, he had indeed won, and immediately said to Liu Ye: "Military Master, you can rest assured now!"
