Lu Yi didn't come back to his senses when he heard what Chen Deng said.
Falling into Cao Cao’s plan?
What's the point of falling into Cao Cao's plan?
Could it be that Cao Cao fell into Yan Xiang's scheme and was forced to temporarily give up the siege of Shouchun and take Xuzhou first?
Chen Deng saw that Lu Yi had not yet understood, so he continued: "General Lu and Cao Sikong now have two important cities they want to compete for, Shouchun and Xuzhou."
"General Lu thinks, between Jiangdong and Cao Cao, which one is more important, Shouchun or Xuzhou?"
Lu Yi: "."
Chen Deng asked himself and answered: "For Cao Sikong, although Xuzhou is important, it is not urgent."
"First of all, Xuzhou is too far away from Xudu. Even if Cao Sikong occupied Xuzhou, he would not be able to govern it."
"Even if he takes Xuzhou, he can only find another hero to control it."
"Secondly, Xuzhou is the place of the Fourth War."
"Whoever takes Xuzhou will have to go through continuous wars."
"Jizhou, Hebei Province has obviously suppressed Gongsun Zan of Youzhou."
"Whether General Lu believes it or not, Gongsun Zan will die."
"Once Yuan Shao captures Youzhou, he will have no land left to conquer in the north, and his sights will definitely be set on heading south."
"There are two ways south."
"All the way from Xudu south to Xiangyang, then straight to Jiangxia, and finally to Jiangdong."
"The other road goes south from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, then goes straight to Guangling County, and finally leads to Jiangdong."
"Once Cao Sikong takes Xuzhou, he will face Yuan Shao on two fronts alone in the future."
"Yuan Shao has strong soldiers and strong horses. Cao Sikong's current strength is no match for him."
"Not to mention facing Yuan Shao on two fronts."
"However, if General Lu takes Xuzhou, then Cao Sikong will have someone to share the pressure."
Lu Yi's expression suddenly changed.
What he always thought was that if he captured Xuzhou, he could advance northward in the future and defend Guangling if he retreated.
Chen Deng's words made him wake up instantly.
His enemy is not just Cao Cao!
The most powerful one now is not Cao Cao, but Hebei Yuan Shao!
In the original history, Yuan Shao was so powerful that after his failure in the Battle of Guandu and before his death, Cao Cao did not dare to move even half a step north.
He has just taken over Jiangdong, and the people's hearts are not completely attached to him. How can he be able to face Yuan Shao?
Seeing that Lu Yi had understood, Chen Deng added: "So, seizing Xuzhou is just Cao Sikong's plan to seize Xuzhou, which not only lures General Lu to seize Xuzhou, relieves him of the pressure of Yuan Shao's march south, but also relieves Jiangdong from the danger of occupying Shouchun. .”
"Shouchun is so close to Xudu."
"Once Cao Sikong makes any move, if Jiangdong takes Shouchun, he can immediately launch a surprise attack on Xu Du."
"If this is the case, Cao Cao can only restrain his hands."
"But now, Cao Cao has gained the upper hand and will definitely occupy Shouchun, while Jiangdong is already passive."
"It's extremely difficult to get Shouchun back."
"Cao Sikong is not Yuan Shu."
Lu Yi regretted it endlessly.
I never thought of this step!
I haven't changed my mind, and none of the civil servants and generals under me have changed my mind.
Although Yan Xiang is also very talented.
However, in this regard, it is not as good as it is.
Lu Yi could only sigh.
Professional counselor.
I still lack one or even several professional counselors.
Chen Deng said: "Although I say so, General Lu cannot change the situation at this time."
"Cao Sikong, before he came here, he must have arranged a way to quickly defeat Shouchun."
"Even if General Lu goes back at this time, Shouchun will be captured by Cao Sikong."
Lu Yi took a sip of tea and calmed down.
He really felt like he was banging his head against the wall.
According to Chen Deng's analysis, seizing Xuzhou by himself was simply a big injustice to Cao Cao.
Not only that, but one of the most important cities was lost: Shouchun!
I had a good fantasy with Yan Xiang before, wanting to use Yuan Shu to contain Cao Cao.
The ancients really thought too simply.
Especially a hero like Cao Cao.
Lu Yi looked at Chen Deng and said: "So, what can Brother Yuanlong teach me when he comes this time? Now you are Lu Bu's staff. You can't come to me in the middle of the night just to tell me that I have fallen into a trap, right? Moreover, now Since I made a mistake, I can only make more mistakes and continue."
"Whether it is now or in the future, I have to face Yuan Shao. I can hide for a while, but I cannot hide for a lifetime. In this case, I will win Xuzhou."
"If I don't take it now, I won't even be qualified to take Xuzhou when Cao Cao frees up his hands and joins the battle in the future."
Chen Deng nodded secretly.
He just pointed out the problem and his face turned pale with fear.
But to be able to calm down in such a short period of time is indeed not an ordinary person, but a person who does great things.
Back then, when they met him for the first time in Tancheng, his father said that this Lu Shijun was no ordinary person.
However, I didn't pay much attention to it at first.
After all, he is just a small Sima from another department.
Moreover, even in the face of mistakes, he can immediately adjust his mentality and stick to his goals.
This is also good.
As a prince, the most taboo thing is indecisiveness and hesitation.
As far as he is concerned, Shouchun has been lost, and it will be useless to regret it.
Although it will be difficult to capture Xuzhou in the future, regardless of whether it is captured or not, Jiangdong will have to face the problem of Yuan Shao going south or Cao Cao going south.
In this case, it's better to take advantage of it now.
Otherwise, once Cao Cao is free in the future, he will join the war for Xuzhou.
By then, it is still uncertain whether Jiangdong can capture Xuzhou.
At this moment, facing Lu Yi's inquiry, Chen Deng said seriously: "This is the second thing I came to discuss with General Lu."
After a pause, Chen Deng mustered up his courage and said, "I can provide internal support for General Lu, divide Lu Bu's army, and make it easier for General Lu to capture Xuzhou."
"Lu Bu has two armies under his command, and they are very brave."
"Although Jiangdong is powerful, it is not easy to defeat them."
"Most likely, there were also heavy casualties."
"In this current situation, Jiangdong must also try his best to win Xuzhou while minimizing losses as much as possible."
Lu Yi nodded.
Chen Deng said: "Of these two armies, one is Gao Shun's trap camp."
"Although this army only has more than 700 people and less than 1,000 people, all of them are heavily armored and wear long-handled weapons, short-handled weapons, and bows and arrows."
"Every soldier is not only strong and strong, but also versatile."
"Under the leadership of Gao Shun, it is common for one to fight against many."
"The other army is Zhang Liao's cavalry."
"Zhang Liao's cavalry only has 800 men, and all of them are veterans who have followed Zhang Liao in battles over the years."
"After every major battle, select the best among the troops and replenish them."
"Every cavalryman is brave and good at fighting and very brave."
"Zhang Liao also has three thousand spearmen, and they are all fierce and fearless men."
"The most critical issue is that Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are both brave and resourceful people."
"To be honest, under Lu Bu's account, these two men pose a far greater threat than Lu Bu himself."
"Under Lu Bu's account, these two are the most dangerous, then Chen Gong, and finally Lu Bu."
"It would really be a bad luck if General Lu encounters them."
"Another one, a thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find."
"Hasn't General Lu ever thought that he has such generals under his command?"
"I also know a little bit about Jiangdong."
"Now, General Lu has generals under Sun Ce. General Lu does not have any real generals of his own."
"Moreover, it's not that Chen Deng looked down upon the generals in Jiangdong, but they led the troops alone and did not have any outstanding talents."
"This is the second thing I came to discuss with General Lu."
"If General Lu can guarantee that after taking Xuzhou, he will appoint me as the governor of Pengcheng or Guangling. I can help you lure Gao Shun and Zhang Liao away, and let Cao Sikong leave to prevent him from suddenly interfering with General Lu when you are conquering Lu Bu. One kick."
"Admittedly, he won't stop it this time."
"However, if General Lu loses his troops and generals, he will also have some benefits in fighting General Lu in the future."
After Chen Deng finished speaking, he stared at Lu Yi.
He was not sure that Lu Yi would agree to this request.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is only one reason why he wanted to be the governor of Pengcheng or the governor of Guangling.
That is to be able to echo the Xiapi Chen family.
What he has to do is to protect his family and ensure its longevity.
However, he believed that any prince would doubt his intentions.
Especially in this war-torn era.
It is suspected that he will occupy the land and become the king, control Xuzhou and become the overlord.
Moreover, no matter how he explained this suspicion, it was of no use.
In times of war, oaths and promises are the most unreliable things.
No one dares to bet.
Therefore, he was not prepared to promise Lu Yi that he would not have any intention to control Xuzhou in the future.
In fact, if Jiang Dong is really unable to help him defend Xuzhou in the future, he will definitely rebel for the sake of the safety of his family.
He would not be like Lu Kang, the former governor of Lujiang, who led his people to die fighting for the imperial court.
He has always believed that only when his family members are alive can he have enough energy to do other things, including being loyal to the imperial court.
And if everyone in your family dies, then everything is meaningless.
Dynasties in the world are constantly changing, and no court is worthy of eternal loyalty.
However, blood can be passed down for eternity.
Lu Yi looked at Chen Deng.
He was not surprised at all when the other party made this request.
Before traveling through time, in the history books he had read, Chen Deng was the kind of person who risked everything for his family.
Many people say that he is two-faced and a fool.
However, Lu Yi always thought that it would be happy to be a member of the same clan as such a person.
Looking through history, many so-called famous generals, for their own loyalty, have brought their own people into a situation of no return.
These celebrities have indeed gone down in history.
However, who has asked whether his tribesmen are willing?
On the contrary, Lu Yi was still a little excited.
It can be seen from the conversation with Chen Deng tonight that Chen Deng is indeed a very strategic person.
In the original history, Chen Deng was also good at military strategy and led troops to defeat Sun Ce several times.
It can be said that he is an all-round talent similar to Zhuge Liang.
Moreover, the other party was a Diannong school captain and was very good at appeasing the people and recuperating.
Since Shouchun is lost, after taking Xuzhou, Jiangdong will enter a short period of recuperation.
I need someone who is proficient in this area to help me.
I need a professional counselor to assist me.
His brother-in-law Zhuge Liang is naturally the best candidate.
But now, he is still too young, so he still has to wait.
And before his brother-in-law grows up, someone has to make plans for him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yi stood up and walked towards Chen Deng.
Nangong Yan opened his eyes in confusion.
Chen Deng also stood up, looking a little wary.
What is this going to do?
Lu Yi stopped in front of Chen Deng, bowed solemnly and said: "If Brother Yuanlong helps me capture Xuzhou, I am willing to choose Yiliangcai of the Chen family in Xiapi to be the governor of Pengcheng County. Moreover, I hope Brother Yuanlong can become my The military advisor general, as my mastermind, advises me and assists me in governance."
Lu Yi's answer immediately stunned Chen Deng.
He never expected that Lu Yi not only agreed to his request, but also gave him higher courtesy in addition to his request.
After a while, Chen Deng came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Chen Deng is so grateful for General Lu's love. But how can Chen Deng be so virtuous that he can become General Lu's mastermind? General Lu only needs to promise me -"
Lu Yi held Chen Deng's hand, interrupted his words, and said with a serious face: "I know that Brother Yuanlong has outstanding talents, which are rare in the world. I admired your father and You very much before in Tancheng, and I want to work with you. It's a pity that I was just a junior Sima of the Department at that time and didn't have any qualifications to do this."
"I also know that Brother Yuanlong cares about the Pi Chen family."
"This is human nature."
"But, Brother Yuanlong, it is very difficult for a family to rise and fall only by staying within one city."
"If the dynasty changes in the future and a higher authority has to destroy your family, then the world will be peaceful and you are in a humble position, how can you resist?"
"Assist me, Brother Yuanlong!"
"I promise, brother Yuanlong, you only need to try your best to show your talents. I will protect the prosperity of you and your family."
"If Jiangdong dominates the world in the future, but Brother Yuanlong and you and the Xiapi Chen family remain unknown, then I, Lu Yi, will commit suicide to apologize."
Chen Deng looked at Lu Yi blankly.
What is this little Sima of the past doing?
He is the lord of Jiangdong and a prince, how could he make such a promise so easily!
However, facing Lu Yi's sincere gaze, Chen Deng slowly knelt down.
Even so.
But he didn't feel ridiculous.
Instead, he felt touched inside.
Moreover, the other party knows exactly where his ambition is.
He really only wants to maintain the stability of the family, and does not do anything else he wants.
But now, there was a fire in his heart that made him unable to calm down.
He wanted to give it a try and show off his skills under this man!
Chen Deng said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, my lord, for trusting me so much. Chen Deng is willing to do his best and die!"
Lu Yi hurriedly hugged Chen Deng, knelt down against him, and said with a smile: "Don't! You can agree to be my military advisor and general. I'm so happy that I can't sleep. I also hope that you can always assist me in conquering the world. , and, healthy and happy. If I tire you out, who will do the work for me? "
Nangong Yan laughed silently, shook his head, and continued to close his eyes and rest.
Chen Deng stood up and met Lu Yi's gaze. With tears in his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, don't worry. As long as my lord is willing to use Chen Deng, Chen Deng will not dare to die."
Lu Yi hurriedly asked Nangong Yan to wake up the servants and make some dishes to go with the wine. Then he woke up Lu Su, Liu Ye and Yan Xiang and told them what had happened.
Lu Su, Liu Ye, and Yan Xiang were all stunned with fear.
Afterwards, Lu Yi told Chen Deng about Lu Su's plan to attack the city.
Chen Deng looked at Lu Su with a smile and said, "Is this Brother Zijing's plan? He is young, but he is quite insightful."
Lu Su was so happy that Chen Deng praised him.
Chen Deng said: "It is feasible to attack the city at this time. However, the time to attack the city must be at night, so as to avoid anyone discovering that the dead soldiers entered the city from the mountain."
"At that time, I will also find a way to distract the patrol from the east, just in case."
Then he looked at Lu Yi and said, "The city of Xutai has been destroyed. My lord must not kill anyone. Also, I will not be able to meet my lord for the time being. I have to go back to Xiapi first and mediate with Chen Gong to force Cao Sikong back and lure him away." Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.”
"In the meantime, I would also like to ask my lord to secretly send people to make an appointment with me to move my old father and family members out of Xiapi."
After a moment of silence, Chen Deng said: "The best way to reduce the losses of Jiangdong soldiers is to burst the embankments and flood Xiapi."
"There is not much grain stored in Xiapi City."
"After the water floods Xiapi, Lu Bu's soldiers will not be able to hold on for long, and they will definitely be in chaos."
"At that point, two things could happen."
"First, there was a rebellion among Lu Bu's men. Lu Bu was captured and presented to the lord."
"If this is the case, my lord, please kill Lu Bu."
"Although Lu Bu is brave, he is always ambitious and does not want to live under others for a long time, and my lord is no exception."
"After being captured and surrendered this time, he will definitely be unwilling to accept it in the future, and rebellion is very possible."
"Although it's a pity, I'll kill him to prevent future trouble."
Lu Yi nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Deng continued: "The other is that Lu Bu offers his daughter and asks for surrender."
"If that's the case, my lord, you will marry his daughter and then transfer his wife and concubines to Guangling County."
"At the same time, my lord has set a goal for him. If he can lead the army to capture Qingzhou, he will be made the herdsman of Qingzhou."
"Although Lu Bu is two-faced, he only loves his relatives very much."
"Bettering his wife and daughter is equivalent to tying his hands."
"He is allowed to go to Guangling County to meet his wife and concubines every year, so that he does not dare to forget his situation."
"Marrying her daughter and promising him the position of Qingzhou Shepherd is giving him a little fantasy."
"Although he cannot dominate the world, his descendants have the possibility to dominate the world."
"Although he cannot dominate, he can still be the overlord of a party under the dominance of future generations. For him, it is also a good ending."
"If this is the case, my lord can still take down Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others."
"Not to mention Gao Shun and Zhang Liao."
"Chen Gong, although I don't like him, and even have a feud with him. However, this person is indeed very resourceful, and he knows Cao Sikong well."
"With his assistance in the future, my lord will have a greater chance of winning against Cao Sikong."
"However, this person has a stubborn temper, prefers softness to hardness, and doesn't like the Lord of Suspicion."
"If the master wants his assistance, he must pay a visit in person to give him face."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I remember all of this."
Having a professional counselor is different.
Everything is thought through clearly.
Chen Deng stayed for a while and then left under the watch of Lu Yi, Lu Su, Liu Ye and Yan Xiang.
