The middle-aged man asked the two of them to sit down, looked at Chen Gui, and asked with his fists: "This person must be Lord Chen's father, Lord Chen Gui?" Chen Deng had an official position, so the middle-aged man called Chen Deng the Lord Chen.

Chen Gui replied, "It's just me. I don't know what you call me."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Zhao Jue is just an unknown soldier under the Prime Minister." Chen Gui smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao is too humble!"

Zhao Jue said: "Two, I will not be polite to you. I have come here to pass on the Prime Minister's order to pass on the message to both of you. The Prime Minister said that the army is about to be in the forefront, and there is no suspense to recover Xuzhou, but sooner or later. This is a great opportunity for the two to make contributions to the Prime Minister! The Prime Minister means that when the army arrives in Xuzhou, the two can find a way to open the city gate, so that our army can save a lot of casualties and time. The two are great heroes to recover Xuzhou! The Prime Minister has come to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. After the matter is completed, the Prime Minister promises that the two should be led by Xuzhou and become the parents of Xuzhou!"

Chen Gui and his son were overjoyed. Chen Gui said, "The Prime Minister's grace, we are very grateful!" After a pause, he said in embarrassment: "The Prime Minister believes that we are the father and son, and we are the father and son should have gone through fire and water for the Prime Minister! However, it is afraid it will be difficult to act in Xuzhou City..."

Zhao Jue asked in confusion: "Why is this? The Chen family is deeply rooted in Xuzhou, and both the military and political circles have considerable influence. It should not be difficult to open the city gate!"

Chen Gui and his son couldn't say that their Chen family was really in Xuzhou, and their Chen family had a deep roots and had a great influence. They had a wide range of connections in the military and political circles. When Liu Bei first led Xuzhou, he would discuss any major events with his Chen family. However, that was the past. Since Ailang took over Xuzhou, the situation has changed rapidly, especially after the promotion of the system for selecting talents for examinations, the connections and influence of Chen Gui and his son quickly shrank, and now there is very little left. However, Chen Gui and his son would never tell Zhao Jue such a thing, because saying this would not tell Cao Cao that they had no value in use? Since there is no value in use, if they want to win the fruits of victory after the war, it would be a daydream.

Chen Deng said, "I don't know anything. Now that Lu Bu is in charge of Xuzhou, the 100,000 troops in the city are all Lu Bu's minions. Although we can contact some loyal ministers and righteous men to raise an uprising, it is impossible to seize the city gate!" Seeing Zhao Jue frowning without saying anything, he hurriedly said, "But Xuzhou is difficult to take, but Xia Pi is easy to take!" Zhao Jue frowned and said, "Xia Pi!"

Chen Deng hurriedly said, "Maybe there is something unknown. In order to deal with the Prime Minister's army, Lu Bu has transferred most of the money, grain and supplies originally hoarded in Xuzhou to Xia Pi. Gao Changsheng, the prefect of Xia Pi, is my cousin. On the surface, he is loyal to Lu Bu, but in fact he wants to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin! With us in cooperation with Gao Changsheng, the Prime Minister will only need to send a soldier to Xia Pi and capture Xia Pi City in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Jue was happy and asked quickly: "This is true!"

"Of course, take it seriously! Our father and son can issue military orders to the Prime Minister, and this matter is absolutely foolproof! When the Prime Minister's troops are coming to Xuzhou, please send troops to Xia Pi immediately, so we can help the Prime Minister seize Xia Pi!"

Zhao Jue nodded and said, "If Xia Pi City hoarded most of Lu Bu's money, food and supplies, then being able to seize Xia Pi would inevitably hit the morale of Lu Bu's army, which would be extremely beneficial to the Prime Minister's capture of Xuzhou in one fell swoop!" Then he said to the two: "This matter has been a great contribution, and the Prime Minister will definitely be rewarded after the matter is completed!" After a pause, "I wonder how many defenders there are in Xia Pi City?" "Forty thousand people, led by General Ju Yi, are arranged in this way, probably to form a siege with Xuzhou."

Zhao Jue nodded, raised his head and clasped his fists at the two of them, "That matter is settled, I will immediately rush back and reply to the prime minister." Chen Deng clasped his fists and said, "My father and son are inconvenient to see each other off, so let's leave first!" Zhao Jue nodded. Chen Deng stood up, helped his father Chen Gui up, clasped his fists and said goodbye to Zhao Jue, and then left the room immediately.

On the way back to the mansion, Chen Gui said to Chen Deng: "Son, this matter is of great importance. You rushed to Xia Pi immediately and make plans with Changsheng. Just wait for the Prime Minister's army to arrive and immediately raise an uprising and join forces to seize Xia Pi! If you can capture and kill Ju Yi when the Prime Minister's army attacks Xia Pi, the contribution will be even greater. But there is no need to force this matter, so please adapt to the situation." Chen Deng nodded, "Don't worry, father, Changsheng and I will never act recklessly." Chen Gui sighed with regret, "It's a pity that we can't help the Prime Minister seize Xuzhou, otherwise you, my father and I will be the best of our ancestors!" Chen Deng didn't care and smiled and said, "How much strength we have to do, why force it?" Chen Gui nodded.

When Cao Cao and Chen family father and son met, they were leading their troops across Dangshan and heading towards Xiaopei. Xiaopei is the gateway to the east of Xuzhou. If Cao Cao wants to seize Xuzhou, he must first seize Xiaopei.

Cao Cao read the reply from the Chen family father and son, sneered, and handed the bamboo slips to Xun You who was riding a horse and said angrily: "I really respect these father and son of the Chen family!" Xun You read the letter and clasped his fists and said, "I think it would be great if the Chen family father and son can help us seize Xia Pi! Xia Pi is a heavy grain storage area for Lu Bu, and it is the rear of Xuzhou. If Xia Pi can be captured in one fell swoop, it will inevitably cause a serious blow to the morale of Lu Bu's army. At that time, it will be just around the corner to defeat Lu Bu and seize Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, do you think that father and son can succeed?"

"There should be no big problem. After all, the Chen family is in Xuzhou, and the prefect of Xia Pi Gao Changsheng is their in-laws. I think it is at least 700 to 80% sure at this time!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Okay. No matter how confident you are, let's try it out then. If Chen Gui and his son really live up to my expectations, I will immediately appoint them as the governors of Xuzhou!" Xun You said, "Lord is wise!"

Cao Cao turned his head and said to the second general Guo Si, Li Qu, who was riding a horse and following him, "General Guo, General Li." The second general clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister."

"I know that the two of you and Lu Bu were under Dong Zhuo's tent that day. After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, you were driven out of Guanzhong by you. I guess it's no problem to deal with Lu Bu?"

When the two generals heard this, they were not willing to show weakness in front of others. Guo Si immediately clasped his fists and said, "I couldn't kill Lu Bu last time, and I will never let him escape this time!" Li Qie also said, "As long as the Prime Minister gives me an order, I will take Lu Bu's head and present it to the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao laughed and praised, "I have two generals, why worry about Lu Bu's immortality." He paused, "But I'm not busy destroying Lu Bu, so I ask the two generals to lead their troops to seize Xiao Pei first so that our army can attack Xuzhou!" The two of them agreed with their promise with their fists. Xun You reminded, "The two generals should not be careless. Although the city of Xiao Pei is small, there are 10,000 defenders, and the guard is Yan Liang, a famous general under Yuan Shao's tent!" Guo Si said contemptuously: "In my eyes, Yan Liang is just a native chicken and a tile!" Then he clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said:

"The Prime Minister doesn't need to wait too long. I will take Xiao Pei in one day." Cao Cao laughed and said, "Okay! If the two generals can take Xiao Pei in one fell swoop, I will make a big contribution. I will definitely be rewarded!" The two were overjoyed and thanked Cao Cao. Then they turned their horses and ran to their respective troops, led the 40,000 troops under their command to leave the brigade and accelerated toward Xiao Pei. Guo Si and Li Que surrendered to Cao Cao, not only surrendered himself, but also brought all the remaining troops under their command, with a total force of 70,000 to 80,000. These troops are still under the command of the two.

Liu Ye couldn't help but say, "Prime Minister, Guo Si and Li Que are jackals, so you should not be promoted to another official position! If their power is too great, they will definitely be unjust, and they will be too big to lose their ranks!"

Cao Cao smiled slightly, "How could I have no idea? That's why I asked them and the other one to fight Xiaopei."

Liu Ye and Xun You were stunned, and then understood Cao Cao's intention and smiled without saying a word.

Speaking of which, Guo Si and Li Qi led their troops to the bottom of Xiaopei City, set up military formations and beat drums to challenge.

After a while, the city gate opened wide, and a general wearing heavy armor, tiger body, wolf-like eyes were astonishingly powerful, carrying a big sword, led hundreds of cavalry out of the city, and lined up the army formation with his back against the city. The general came to the front of the army and shouted loudly: "I am the general Yan Liang, the rats quickly report their names to avoid becoming a nameless ghost!"

Guo Si and Li Que were both happy, and Guo Si rushed to say, "I will deal with this person!" Li Que felt that Guo Si was going to take the credit, but he was not happy, but he was not good to argue with him in front of the army, so he didn't say anything. Guo Si didn't care whether Li Que agreed or not, and rushed out of the army with a big sword, came to Yan Liang in front of him, shouted loudly, "The court rebels, I am Guo Si, the general under the prime minister, why don't you get off the horse and get tied up quickly!" Yan Liang laughed and mocked, "It's just Dong Zhuo's hawk, Dong Zhuo died long ago, you dare to come here to speak shamelessly, you are simply unaware of the world!"

Guo Si was furious and shouted: "Lu Bu was defeated by me. Who are you? How dare you speak wildly!"

Yan Liang retorted, "Stop bragging here! Do you think we don't know? At that time, the lord's only tens of thousands of troops would have suppressed your army of more than 200,000. If Wang Yun hadn't been afraid that my master's achievements would collude with you and others, you would still want to win! It's a silly dream!"

Guo Si was so angry that he was angry that he screamed and urged the horse to rush towards Yan Liang. Yan Liang sneered and immediately urged the horse to fight. The drums of war between the two sides rumbled, and the shouts shook the sky. Yan Liang and Guo Si rode their horses in a row, and at the same time they danced a big sword. A loud bang sounded, and the two swords collided in the air! Then the two passed by, turning their horses toward each other and then turned their heads toward each other.

The opponent rushed forward and fought in a group. The big sword roared and was extremely powerful. Guo Si's aura was like a wild beast, which really made people not underestimate. Yan Liang fought with him for nearly twenty rounds and could not win. Yan Liang was in a fight, and he used all his skills to dance a big sword to make a fierce snatch the power! In the fierce and fierce battle, Guo Si gradually felt that he could not resist the enemy, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart!
