Chapter 539 Chen Deng takes over Xuzhou

Gradually, Chen Deng turned his head and did not dare to look at Liu Bei's eyes. The guilt in his heart became more and more, but Chen Deng was forced to harden his heart. Because he wants to pave a broad road for the future of the Chen family in Xuzhou. Cao Cao is bound to win against Xuzhou, and Liu Bei has no strength to defend it at all. If the Chen family follows Liu Bei faithfully, when Xuzhou is broken by the Cao army, it is also the moment when the Chen family is destroyed. On the contrary, if he helps Cao Cao get Xuzhou, with Cao Cao's love for talent, he will definitely be used for him. At this time, Cao Cao has become the foundation of winning the world, and Chen Deng's father, Chen Wei, has always been famous for knowing people. Chen Kui saw that Cao Cao is a peerless hero, and the world is likely to fall into Cao Cao's hands. If the Chen family chooses to follow Cao Cao, it will continue to flourish for hundreds of years.

So, for the sake of the family. Between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Chen Deng finally chose to abandon his conscience and choose Cao Cao.

"Today's farewell, you and I are incompatible. Take care of Yuanlong and get today's result. I don't blame you. It's my Liu Xuande's incompetence. I hope Yuanlong can be kind to the people of Xuzhou. Here, I would like to thank Yuanlong first!"

Liu Bei suddenly turned over and disappointed, bowed and bowed to the city. Liu Bei's words were like a sharp blade, cutting Chen Deng's heart fiercely. Chen Deng's body suddenly trembled, and he unconsciously lowered his head and faced it facelessly.

"Pear patriarch, Liu Xuande is so benevolent and righteous. I wait to treat him like this, and he still repays his grievances with virtue. Do I really want to betray him?"

A general of the Chen family couldn't bear to whisper in Chen Deng's ear. Chen Deng's handsome face twitched again. After exhaling a big breath, he turned around and left.

From beginning to end, Chen Deng didn't say a word. Maybe it was over. He really had nothing to say. Liu Bei silently watched Chen Deng leave, and then he also got on the horse again and pulled his head back to the front.

Chen's lineage turned to Cao Cao, and the East China Sea was lost. Cao Cao's army could attack at any time. At this time, Liu Bei was like a bereaved dog, and it was inevitable that there was a trace of sadness in his heart.

"Brother, the army has been fighting repeatedly, and we have been on our way for days. We are all tired. Now we urgently need a place to rest for the army to rest.

After Liu Bei returned to the array, Pan Feng said to Liu Bei with a solemn look. Liu Bei frowned deeply. After thinking for a while, he answered with a little loneliness.

"Let's go to Longquan County. Although it is remote and desolate, it is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Longquan County? It is indeed a dangerous place to defend against the enemy.

After Pan Feng heard Liu Bei's words, she was stunned. It can be seen that the desolation of Longquan County is empty, and most of the people living in it are foreign people. As the lord of a state, Liu Bei is forced to bend down and settle there, which is really desolate. Liu Bei sighed deeply, and then issued an order for all the soldiers and horses to start rushing to Longquan County.

As for Chen Deng, no soldiers and horses were sent to cover up. Chen Deng is like this. It can be said that he hides his selfishness and let Liu Bei live without permission. At this time, Cao Cao's army was marching to Guangling. If Chen Deng could pester Liu Bei, Cao Cao's army would arrive in less than three days. At that time, Liu Bei would be like a turtle in the urn and would definitely die!

Chen Deng has always been a cold person. As long as he is for the interests of the Chen family, his conscience and loyalty can be abandoned. Chen Deng's abnormal choice made his father Chen Kui quite stunned. However, later, after learning from a Chen general that Liu Bei said under the city, Chen Jue understood the reason for Chen Deng's abnormalness.

"Liu Xuande is thick and can bear it, and he convinces people with benevolence. It is often said that benevolent people are invincible. No wonder Deng'er can hardly keep his heart. If this person doesn't die this time, there will be a dragon!"

Chen Kui secretly slandered. After walking a few steps in front of Chen Deng's room, she suddenly sighed slightly and turned around and left. Originally, Chen Kui wanted to persuade Chen Deng to send troops to chase Liu Bei, but later he didn't know why Chen Kui changed his mind.

After Liu Bei led 7,000 soldiers to flee to Longquan County, he seized the time to build a high barrier, dig deep trenches, and lobby the people of Longquan. Three days after Liu Bei fled from Guangling City, Cao Cao led 80,000 elite soldiers and rushed to Guangling City. Chen Kui and Chen Deng led Guangling Wenwu to meet Cao under the city.

At the gate to the north of Guangling, Chen Deng's handsome face rose with surprise. The Cao army in the distance was almost all over the front line of the world. The army was neat and orderly. Such a large number was not chaotic at all. Chen Deng was secretly surprised that Cao Cao had a good way to govern the army. Such elite soldiers and horses, may I ask which army in the world can compete with him!

As for Chen Deng's side, there is an old man with white hair, neat appearance, slightly similar to Chen Deng, a pair of deep and wise eyes, with strange light. This person is Chen Deng's father, Chen Ji. At the beginning, it was also Chen Wei who tried his best to persuade Chen Deng to turn to Cao Cao.

"It seems that Cao Mengde not only has great talent, but also governs the army strictly. Such a person is worthy of following us and Chen! It seems that this time, I'm the right treasure."

Chen Jue secretly slandered, and at the same time, he was glad that he chose Cao Cao at the beginning. When Chen Kui saw the majestic military appearance of Cao Cao, 80,000 soldiers, he was sure on the spot that even if he did not turn to Cao Cao and tried his best to help Liu Bei with the Chen family, it was impossible to repel Cao Cao with Liu Bei's strength!

As the 80,000 Cao army became closer and closer, the earth-shaking sound of soldiers and horses stepping on the ground and the sound of soldiers hitting directly hit the brain nerves of every Guangling civil and martial arts, generals and soldiers. Every time the 80,000 Cao army moved forward, the neat and consistent huge rage sound was like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao suddenly waved his big hand, and 80,000 soldiers immediately stopped. Each team was extremely neat, and no soldier took one more step or less. Cao Cao's face was cold and he shouted.

"Who is Chen Yuanlong!"

Chen Deng heard Cao Cao's shout, and his face suddenly changed. He secretly thought of Cao Cao's historical marching style, and he would always send scouts to explore the information about the land of the army. Perhaps at this time, Cao Cao probably knew that Liu Bei had left Guangling safely. And with Cao Cao's super wisdom, how could he not guess that this was Chen Deng's intention.

Chen Deng has a lot of bitterness in his heart. Under the command of Cao Cao, he is like responding to the old saying, accompanying you like a tiger. As soon as Chen Deng voted for Cao Cao, he did such a rebellious thing. Chen Deng was unmoved on the surface, but his heart was uneasy. He condensed and hurriedly took a step forward and held his hand to worship.

"Chen Yuanlong pays homage to the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, emitting a sharp light in his eyes, and looked at Chen Deng. Chen Deng only felt that Cao Cao's eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart and looking at all the thoughts in his heart. Unconsciously, Chen Deng was already full of cold sweat, and Cao Cao suddenly changed his cold face and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Two years ago, could it be that you resisted the attack of Cao Ren's army in Guangling!"

Chen Deng's face changed again, and his heart was even more worried. Although Cao Cao was laughing, who knew whether he wanted to settle accounts after autumn at this time. However, like Cao Cao, how can he think the same as ordinary people? Maybe Cao Cao didn't mean it at all, but had a deep meaning.

Chen Deng's brain turned, and then his face turned straight and bowed his hand to worship again.

"It's Mr. Chen."

Chen Deng admitted that Cao Cao's face suddenly changed again and became extremely dark. Chen Hui, who was behind Chen Deng, was even more shocked and secretly scolded how Chen Deng could be so indistinguishable and admitted it to his face. And even if you have to admit it, at least find some loyal excuses for yourself.

Cao Cao looked at Chen Deng coldly for a long time. Chen Deng lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more. After a burst of silence, Cao Cao laughed loudly again, and even praised Chen Deng repeatedly.

"Good, good! Chen Yuanlong, how dare you admit this in front of Cao. Your spirit, Mr. Cao admires you!! However, you should remember that there are some things that are not just words of spirit. If you do it again and again, it is stupid. Cao has never been soft on stupid people.

Cao Cao's voice was cold and clear. Not only did Chen Deng's heart beat, but also Chen Kui behind him was in cold sweat, for fear that Cao Cao would suddenly kill Chen Deng.

"Chen Yuanlong thanked Prime Minister Cao for his teaching. Chen Yuanlong must remember that he will never commit it again. If he violates this word, he will be killed by heaven!"

"Hey! There is no need to make such a poisonous oath for such a trivial matter. Cao just gave you some reminders. Chen Yuanlong obeyed the order! Liu Xuande forced Tao Qian to seize the power of Xuzhou. After that, he concealed the court and cheated the position of state herdsman. Fortunately, the sky net was slow, and Liu Xuande's evil deeds were exposed. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, I should adhere to the great righteousness and deal with it in public. From today on, Liu Bei and the generals under his command will be removed, and the position of Xuzhou herdsman will be temporarily replaced by Chen Yuanlong. After that, Cao will report this matter to the emperor one by one and tell the world!"

Cao Cao suddenly Xu Yuda was located in Chen Deng. Chen Deng was shocked by Cao Cao. When he came to his senses, he saw the bright smile on Cao Cao's mouth, and he quickly knelt down and bowed again as if he woke up.

"Thank you for the gift of Prime Minister!!"

Xuzhou, Guangling City.

The 50,000 Cao army filled almost all the tents in the school yard, and the remaining 30,000 Cao soldiers went to the village ten miles away from the city according to Cao Cao's order. In fact, there are still a lot of open spaces in Guangling City where these soldiers and horses can be placed. Of course, Cao Cao's arrangement has a deep meaning. After all, Chen Deng's new investment, no matter whether his loyalty is credible or not, some precautions still need to be done.

In the school yard of Guangling City, Cao Chunzheng led a team of soldiers and horses to patrol the surrounding area. A Cao general, with some doubts, asked in a low voice in Cao Chun's ear.

"General, according to the detective's report, Chen Yuanlong released Liu Bei privately. According to the military law, even if he is not in a heavy penalty, he will have at least 30 military sticks. However, the lord not only did not punish him, but also awarded him the high position of Xuzhou Pastoral. The master's idea is really puzzled by the villain.

Cao Chun frowned, suddenly stopped his pace, and stared coldly at the questioning Cao General, with sharp eyes and Ling Ran's force. Cao General only felt as if he had been stared at by a poisonous snake, and a cool air rushed straight up from the soles of his feet to the spiritual cover.

"The lord is a peerless hero in a hundred generations. How can you understand his idea? Chen Yuanlong is so resourceful that he won the praise of the lord and Guo Jijiu, and don't forget that even the general's eldest brother was forced to do nothing at the beginning! The lord has always loved talents, such as Chen Yuanlong, and it is reasonable for the lord to focus on him.

What's more, the Chen family behind Chen Yuanlong is a large family in Xuzhou, which is very powerful in Xuzhou. The lord should stabilize Xuzhou as soon as possible, and he should have the help of Chen. At this point, the lord indulged him a little for the sake of the overall situation. However, this is only once, with the master's temperament, if he dares to commit it again. Humph, even if he is Zhang Liang's reincarnation, the lord will cut off his head without hesitation.

Cao Chun knows very well about Cao Cao Cao's temperament. Cao Cao has the temperament, but it does not mean that Cao Cao allows his advisers and generals to indulge. If he violates Cao Cao Cao's bottom line, no matter how much he loves his talent and courage, he will rule strictly according to the law without leaving any affection.

The general of the Cao family listened to Cao Chun's words and unconsciously remembered the major event that shocked Luoyang a year ago. At the beginning, this incident could be said to have shocked the whole Cao family. The reason why this matter caused all the wind and rain in Luoyang a year ago is that it involves both the Cao family and the Han family.
