Chapter 531 Changes in Xuzhou
"In this way, it all depends on the arrangement of adults. There are only more than a dozen confidants in the hands of the humble position. There are many people who are not convinced of the inferior position. They must be careful when doing business. Although Guan Yu is a general, he is as careful." Li Handao.
Chen Kui looked at Li Han in surprise. He didn't expect that this neurotic Li Han still had such a careful side and said with a smile, "General Li, don't worry. At that time, you just need to order your confidant to guard the gate. When I bring people to the gate, just answer them. As for the soldiers who don't listen to you, you can let them go straight. Pick up and disappear."
Li Han held his fist and said, "In this way, I will leave the humble position."
"General Li, you can stay in the house and wait for tomorrow night. Your family will also be arranged by me. Their safety is on you." Chen Yuyin said on the test.
A day passed quickly. Li Han was just a small goalkeeper in the army. Even if he disappeared, it would not cause people. Moreover, Li Han's family and Chen Hui secretly sent people to appease him, but they were not noticed anything.
The ugly time just arrived. After Li Han left, Chen Hui led 3,000 joint private soldiers of the two families to the West Gate guarded by Li Han. So many people walked on the street, which easily attracted the attention of patrol soldiers. This was also a omission that Chen Hui had not experienced a real battle.
Li Han had already been waiting anxiously at the gate. The soldiers were very puzzled by Li Han's performance tonight. Many soldiers went up for their caring greetings and were chased aside by Li Han. When there were bursts of fighting not far away and the wrong soldiers, Li Han was suddenly shocked. Could it be that they were found. Look at the soldiers around you, there is nothing wrong with it.
When the agreed flag could be seen under the light of the torch, Li Han no longer hesitated and immediately ordered, "Open the gate!"
"General, you can't open the gate without General Guan's order!" A soldier said.
Li Han's eyes were cold, and he pulled out the sword at his waist with a clinge. The sword light flashed, and the soldier who resisted was in a different place, and blood splashed all over Li Han's face. "Open the gate!"
More than a dozen confidants hurried forward and pushed the gate. In the squeaking sound, a crack appeared in the gate.
When Guan Yu learned that there were soldiers in the west of the city, he was shocked. He hurriedly got on the horse and led the cavalry to the west gate. Guan Yu was stationed at the east gate. There was a long distance from the east gate to the west gate. Even the cavalry needed a while.
Suddenly, soldiers appeared in the city and moved closer to the west gate. Guan Yu realized that something was wrong. Since Cao's army besieged Pengcheng, curfew has been imposed in the city. There is no order. Those who travel privately at night will be sentenced to death, and the soldiers can't be mobilized without Guan Yu's order. However, everything has passed after Guan Yu's knowledge. It's been half an hour.
The gate slowly opened, and Chen Ji frowned and smiled, as if victory was in front of him.
"Your Excellency, it's not good. Guan Yu led the cavalry to kill." A soldier hurried to Chen Yu and said.
Chen Ju grabbed the soldier and said, "How many people are there?"
"I don't know, it's dense and countless!"
Chen Kui let go of the soldiers and said in a firm tone, "We have to shoot arrows on the string. If more troops in the city come, there is no doubt that they will die. We can only fight hard to bring General Cao's soldiers into the city."
The owner of the Li family said, "Lord Chen's words are reasonable, but Guan Yuyong is unstoppable. What should I do?"
"Order a thousand soldiers to resist to the death. As long as we block Guan Yu for a while, we will win!" Chen Guo said.
Cao Jun outside the city had already heard the movement in the city. Seeing the gate creaking open, many soldiers were even more excited. They clenched the rein and waited for the general to give an order to enter the city.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Pengcheng can be broken!"
"Xu Zhu, you lead 500 cavalry and kill into the city. All soldiers who encounter resistance will be killed without mercy. The surrenderers don't need to pay attention to them. After seizing their weapons, they will gather together and leave some cavalry guards."
"No!" Xu Zhu bowed and took the order, and his eyes flashed with the murderous intent. Recently, Guan Yu showed too much sharpness, which made Cao Jun's general more or less lose face, and now is the time to save his face in one fell swoop.
"Cao Ren, you led a thousand soldiers into the city and captured the Taishou Mansion. Xiahou Dun, you led a thousand people to the south of the city, Xiahou Yuan, you led a thousand people to the north of the city..." Cao Cao skillfully issued all the orders. There were 30,000 people in the Xuzhou army in the city. When it rebounded, it was still very powerful and had to be guarded.
In order to capture Pengcheng, Cao Cao put all the cavalry into it. It is best to defeat the resistance of the Xuzhou army in the fastest time. It is best to occupy six gates, trap Guan Yu in the city, and cut off Liu Bei's right arm. After losing Guan Yu, you can imagine what kind of situation Liu Bei's army will fall into, which will also make Cao's army The power has reached the highest.
Guan Yu fought hard. How could the private soldiers of the family be the enemy? Seeing that the former army was defeated and retreated, he scattered and fled.
At this time, Chen Deng had taken over the control of the city gate, and 2,000 soldiers guarded it. Even if Guan Yu led the army to come, it could not be broken overnight.
The hiss of Cao's army's horses sounded outside the city. Zhou Cang, who hurriedly led the army, saw this and advised, "General, retreat!"
Guan Yu resolutely said, "No, as long as you defeat the soldiers in front of you and occupy the gate, you can block the Cao army outside the city!"
Imagination is beautiful, and reality is cruel. No matter how fast Guan Yu's killing speed is, it will take a while for 2,000 people. At this time, General Xu Zhu of the Cao Army has led 500 cavalry to fight against Guan Yu.
Soldiers against generals, Cao's cavalry elite, Guan Yu could not resist. He fought for a while and led the cavalry to retreat to the east of the city. There were 20,000 troops there. As long as they could be mobilized, it was not difficult to drive Cao's army out of Pengcheng.
After entering the city, the generals acted quickly according to the set goals. The rapid march of the Cao army and the proficient mastery of the terrain in the city made Guan Yu suddenly in danger. Even if the soldiers were gathered together in a hurry, it was difficult to form an effective combat effectiveness. Under the charge of the Cao army, the earth collapsed.
Guan Yu still wanted to resist. Zhou Cang advised, "General, most of Cao's army has entered the city. If you guard the six gates, all the soldiers will be surrounded by the Cao army. Think twice!"
In the front, Cao's army guarded the gate, and then there was a large army to pursue it. Guan Yu made great efforts to open the gate and escape from the city.
Guan Yu was defeated. When he left the city, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses under his men. When he went, there were 30,000 and 5,000 soldiers. The feeling in his heart can be imagined, and his resentment for Cao Jun reached an unprecedented level.
After getting Pengcheng, Cao Cao was overjoyed and rewarding the three armies in the city. Chen Kui gained power once and was appointed as the Pengcheng order by Cao Cao and was responsible for the affairs of the city.
Chen Kui was appointed as the order of Pengcheng, but at this time, Chen Deng was still working under Liu Bei. In anger, how could Liu Bei let go of Chen Deng? Chen Kui also persuaded Chen Deng to return to Pengcheng in a letter, which was rejected by Chen Deng.
After capturing Pengcheng, Cao Jun can wave his army and point directly to Pi.
Chen Deng was deeply trusted in Liu Bei's army. As long as it came from Chen Deng's plan, Liu Bei did not disomit and became a new top figure in the Xuzhou army. Even when Cao Bao usually saw Chen Deng, he was also respectful. Liu Bei struggled all his life and had few advisers. He accidentally met Chen Deng, who was a great talent, and his heart was happy. It can be imagined that it is entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Chen Deng had already known that if his father secretly defected to Cao Jun from Liu Bei's account to Cao's army, he would certainly not attract attention. The counselors in Cao's army were not like Liu Bei's, so he wanted a greater credit to Cao Cao and make the Chen family's position in Xuzhou completely stable.
"Lord, I recently heard that Cao's army's offensive outside Pengcheng was very fierce. He was worried that General Guan could not stop Cao's army, so he asked to go to Xiapi to assist General Zhang to defend the city!" Chen Dengdao.
Liu Bei had no doubt about him and was about to agree. Sun Qian questioned, "Lord Chen, General Zhang is stationed in Xia Pi. It is expected that there is no danger. The affairs in the city still need to be handled by the adults. I'm afraid there is something wrong with leaving now."
Chen Deng said, "Cao Jun is invading the territory. How can he sit idly by and ignore the humble position? In the past, Cao Cao committed a heinous murder in Xuzhou. The inferior position can't wait to eat his meat and drink his blood. I hope the master can do it!"
Seeing that Chen Deng was not hypocritical, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"It's a blessing for our army that Yuanlong can have this heart. After my husband comes to Xia Pi, he is in charge of all the affairs of Xia Pi. With Mr. Xia Pi, I have no worries!" Liu Bei grabbed Chen Deng's arm and said.
"Thank you, Lord, I will do my best!"
"General Zhang has a strong personality, lest he will not obey Lord Chen's orders." Sun Qiandao.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "What's so difficult? Take my double-legged sword. When the third brother sees this, he will definitely accept the military order."
After Chen Deng took Liu Bei's double sword to Xia Pi, Zhang Fei obediently gave up his military power. With Chen Deng's means, it was not easy to rectify Zhang Fei. In a few words, he isolated Zhang Fei and the army, and what Chen Deng said was reasonable. Even if Zhang Fei was not in his heart, there was nothing he could do, big brother. The double-stranded 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 was good at drinking. Chen Deng took what he liked and brought a lot of good wine. In the name of rewarding the three armies, he drunk Zhang Fei. The Chen family was quite powerful in Xuzhou. Chen Deng even put a lot of confidants in the army. It was easy to occupy the general power. Zhang Fei himself was also imprisoned in Xia Pi City. A poor fierce general was Chen Deng, who has no power to bind the chicken, is honest.
Guan Yu led more than 5,000 soldiers to Xia Pi City. He saw that Chen Deng was guarding the gate. There was no doubt about him. He was about to enter the city. Zhou Cang felt that something was wrong and hurriedly advised.
"Lord Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you know where my third brother is?" Guan Yu shouted.
"General Zhang has been transferred back to his side by the lord. Now I am in charge of the soldiers and horses, guarding Xia Pi, and resisting Cao's soldiers and horses. Isn't General Guan in Pengcheng? What's wrong with you coming to Xia Pi? Chen Dengdao.
