When they heard that Zhang Hong had brought Chen Deng's younger brother to seek refuge, Cao Cao and the others were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes fell on Chen Zhou.
Not surprisingly, Chen Zhou was right again.
However, Cao Cao and the others were used to being shocked and soon didn't feel anything.
Liu Bei and others were different. The eyes they looked at Chen Zhou were even more intense at this time. They kept thinking in their hearts that they must get Chen Zhou and they were extremely eager to get it.
A capable person who could predict the future, Liu Bei believed that following Cao Cao was a waste of talent, and he should assist himself as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Zhou looked at them as if they didn't exist. He sat quietly aside and poured himself a glass of water slowly, not intending to explain the matter.
Because it’s hard to explain.
They didn't ask anyway, so he didn't bother to say anything else.
"Yuanlong, let's go pick him up quickly."
Cao Cao was the first to recover and led everyone out.
Liu Bei also followed him out and came to the camp gate. Sure enough, he saw Chen's people standing outside the camp gate and they were really sent back.
The shock in my heart increased by several points.
It's incredible, it's unbelievable.
Seeing Cao Cao coming out, Zhang Hong immediately expressed his willingness to surrender and submit to Cao Cao, and also brought a lot of information about Lu Bu to Cao Cao.
The assassination officer is in charge of intelligence.
A bit like the spy chief of later generations.
As an assassin under Lu Bu, Zhang Hong was well aware of everything around Lu Bu at this time, and brought news to Cao Cao and the others: Yuan Shu asked Lu Bu to marry a daughter before he was willing to send troops to support Xia Pi.
Chen Zhou guessed correctly again.
Chen Zhou could always predict Lu Bu's predictions.
After Cao Cao settled the people, he went back to find Chen Zhou, briefly explained the information Zhang Hong brought, and asked: "The next step in crossing the river is how to cut off Lu Bu's way of marrying his daughter?"
"Our army is besieging Xiapi."
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Lü Bu wants to send his daughter to Huainan. He must send her there in person before he can fight out of the city. He will probably choose a place with the weakest defense to fight out."
Guo Jia echoed: "Our soldiers besieging Xiapi are composed of two parts, one is us and the other is Liu Xuande, but I don't think Lu Bu will fight out from Liu Xuande's side."
Liu Bei is the weakest person beside Cao Cao.
If Lu Bu was given the choice, he would definitely concentrate his efforts and fight away from Liu Bei, but with Chen Gong beside Lu Bu, it would be different.
"I don't think Lu Bu will fight his way out from Liu Bei's side. Sometimes the weakest place is the most dangerous."
Chen Zhou agreed.
Guo Jia understood what Chen Zhou meant and smiled: "Therefore, Lu Bu will choose another place to be surrounded and take his daughter to fight out of the city. We cannot predict where he will choose, but he will definitely use Liu Bei as a breakthrough!"
"Of course!"
Chen Zhou and Guo Jia looked at each other, understanding each other's thoughts, and then laughed together.
"You mean, Chen Gong might make an attack in the east or in the west?"
Cao Cao pondered their conversation and thought of something. He clapped his hands and said, "If I were Chen Gong, I would send some troops to attack Liu Bei's defense, create noise, and attract our main force to support. Lu Bu would lead him from the other side. My daughter rushes out?"
Chen Zhou and Guo Jia nodded at the same time.
The possibility of this is very high!
As a cautious person, Chen Gong couldn't just focus on one place and attack if he wanted to help Lu Bu marry his daughter.
"What about Liu Bei?"
Cao Cao asked.
"I don't think it matters."
Guo Jia didn't like Liu Bei much.
If Chen Gong attacks Liu Bei's camp, it is to create unrest, not necessarily to attack by force.
Chen Zhou said: "It's not that we don't need to worry about it at all. We have to mobilize our main force to give Lu Bu the illusion that we will support Liu Bei. In addition, if Lu Bu really attacks Liu Bei, we can intercept and kill him in time." I miss Lu Bu."
"What Watari said makes sense."
Cao Cao recalled the current layout of the siege and said: "Liu Bei is mainly in the south of the city. If there is unrest in the south of the city, our fastest support should be in the west and east of the city. If Chen Gong uses this to attack the east, then Lu Bu may attack from the two. Shoot out in one direction, right?"
"That's right!"
Chen Zhou and Guo Jia thought so at the same time.
Normally, this is indeed the case, unless Chen Gong takes an unusual route and wants to take a long way out from the north of the city.
Chen Zhou added: "No matter which door Lu Bu takes his daughter out from, she will eventually have to go south. There is a road that must be passed. Just add interceptions and kills on this road."
As long as all arrangements are made, no matter what Lu Bu does, he can't escape their interception.
After listening to their words, Cao Cao felt relaxed.
As long as Lu Bu can't contact Yuan Shu and marry his daughter, he doesn't have to worry about Yuan Shu stopping him from taking Xuzhou for the time being.
"Since Lu Bu has the ability to leave the city, why don't they fight their way out of the city?"
Cao Ren, who was listening on the side, asked.
Chen Zhou and Guo Jia both laughed.
"Because Lu Bu and Chen Gong are reluctant to leave Xiapi. Losing Xiapi is equivalent to losing Xuzhou."
Guo Jia gave an explanation.
For Lu Bu and the others, they finally gained a territory and were really unwilling to lose it like this.
Then it is very simple to deal with the arrangements for the married daughter.
You only need to focus on the south of the city guarded by Liu Bei.
If Lu Bu can be left outside the city gates on the other sides of the city, they will do their best to keep them. If they can't, they will deploy troops to intercept them on the main roads.
After all, except for the south of the city, the uncertainty of the gates on the other three sides is too great. There is no way to focus on guarding a certain gate. This is of little significance. Lu Bu may break out on any side.
As for Liu Bei, let him be cannon fodder!
——
the next day.
It happened last night that someone came out of the city to surrender. Inside Xiapi and the military camp, people were panicked and the soldiers felt a little uneasy.
The morale of the army is a bit messed up.
The people were also a little scared, and those people who were mobilized by Lu Bu to defend the city were somewhat resistant.
In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, Chen Gong had to spread the news that Yuan Shu agreed to support Xiapi. Regardless of whether Yuan Shu was really willing to support, he had to stabilize the morale of the troops first.
"Cao Cao and Liu Bei are besieging Xiapi. We have to send the eldest lady to Huainan. This is not an easy matter."
Chen Gong walked to the tower in the south of the city and said, "I thought about it all night last night and came up with a plan. I will do it in two steps."
"Please make it clear to the public."
Lu Bu said.
Chen Gong said: "Zhang Hong went out of the city to surrender last night, and he must have brought the news that Yuan Shu asked the lord to marry his daughter to Cao Ying. If I were Cao Cao, I would definitely be on guard. I think the focus of defense may be on the weakest place. "
Speaking of Zhang Hong's betrayal, Lu Bu felt angry.
This person disrupted his plan and made him very passive now.
"According to Gongtai, the weakest military force outside the city currently is Liu Bei outside the city in the south of where we are."
As soon as Wang Kai's words came out, everyone's eyes turned to the south of the city.
Liu Bei, who surrounded the four gates of Xiapi in the south, was indeed weak. At that time, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun could easily kill him back.
Chen Gong wanted to put this breakthrough on Liu Bei.
