Chapter eight hundred and sixty first: dark tide
"The lord is here, Chen Deng is in a hurry to welcome him."
When Liu Bei led the army to Chen's mansion, Chen Deng had been waiting for a long time.
"The lord led the army to go, where is this?" Chen Deng asked again when he saw Liu Bei's face full of gloom.
"Chen Deng, stop pretending to deceive your lord. Xuzhou City is in danger. Why is your Chen family secretly relocating?"
Chen Dao came out and pointed at Chen Deng and scolded.
"General Chen Dao, you have nothing to say. You are trying to get my Chen family unjust. I think my Chen family has no credit for his lord and has worked hard. If the lord suspects, you can lead troops into the mansion to search, so as to restore my Chen family's innocence."
Chen Deng looked very worried, as if he had suffered a huge grievance.
"It just so happens that I want to meet Mr. Chen too." Liu Bei dismounted and entered the Chen Mansion under the escort of Bai Feng.
After Liu Bei entered, Chen Deng's face changed...
Liu Bei came too quickly, and the Chen family had no time to make effective arrangements. Chen Gui could only force the people in the clan to calm down and pretend that nothing had happened. The Chen family still fully supported the Chen family.
Some of the tribe members who were too panic and could not control their own tribe were all hidden. The Chen family was so big that Liu Bei could not find them all at once.
"Old Master Chen, Liu Bei is so disturbing."
Chen Gui had just calmed down when Liu Bei's voice went outside.
"Is the Envoy Liu really a bright future for me to come to my Chen Mansion? Please come in."
Chen Gui went out to greet him and invited Liu Bei into the inner room.
"Xuzhou City is surrounded and can hold on, thanks to the Chen family's efforts to work hard. Yuanlong has come up with many good ideas for me. I am here today, not for anything else, just to thank the Chen family for their care for Liu Bei." Liu Bei bowed.
This behavior scared Chen Deng and his son so much that they stood up in a hurry and said they didn't dare.
They dare not bear Liu Bei's gratitude calmly. Today, Liu Bei led his troops into the mansion, so naturally it would not be as simple as thanking.
As long as Chen Deng and his son say one wrong thing, Liu Bei may get angry at any time. Although Liu Bei is gentle and elegant, kind and generous, and really cruel, it is also extremely vicious.
Liu Bei has made a statement, and the scheming Chen Gui has already figured out how to answer:
"It was because of Liu Envoy Guard in Xuzhou that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and Xuzhou could avoid the poison of war. Wu Shun was unrighteous and sent troops to attack Xuzhou. All the people in Xuzhou had the responsibility to defend the city and fight against the Wuling Army."
"My father is right. It is because of the lord who is here that Xuzhou has been able to persist until now. Now with Cao's army helping the war, it is a dream for the Wuling army to break through the city." Chen Deng continued.
"If the people in the city are united, the Wuling Army will not be afraid. Unfortunately, some families have turned against Xuzhou and are ready to flee to other places."
Liu Bei's intentions mean something, and there is something in his words.
"The Chen family is willing to advance and retreat with Liu Envoy. Those families who are ungrateful are willing to persuade them to change their minds." Chen Gui said to Liu Bei.
It seems that I don't understand what Liu Bei said at all.
"It's so good, I'll trouble Mr. Chen." Liu Bei bowed and thanked him again.
"There are many troops in the city, and the food and grass are in a hurry. I wonder if Yuanlong can raise enough food and grass?" Liu Bei asked Chen Deng.
"Master, just hand over this matter to your subordinates." Chen Deng could not refuse such a task.
He knew that this was Liu Bei's temptation and punishment.
Liu Bei must have mastered some clues before he led his troops into the Chen Mansion. As for why Liu Bei did not attack, it was because the Chen family was of great use to him.
After squeezing the Chen family's value, will Liu Bei be so polite? That's not sure.
"It's not early, and I still need to inspect the city, so I'll say goodbye."
The purpose has been achieved. Liu Bei stood up to say goodbye, and Chen Deng and his son hurriedly got up to see him off.
"Father, Liu Bei has already discovered it."
After seeing Liu Bei off, Chen Deng's face collapsed.
"Yuanlong, my Chen family is ready for migration, so don't worry about these things. It's just a matter of food and grass. How to solve it?" Chen Gui said.
Liu Bei discovered the actions of their Chen family, so he came in person. While beating the Chen family, he extorted a batch of food and supplies. Everyone was smart and tacit.
"If you provide food and grass with other families, if you guard the guards for one more day, we will be safe one day. However, the transfer should be done more secretly." Chen Deng said.
With the capabilities of the major families in Xuzhou, it is not a problem to supply Liu Bei's army. The problem is that they have no confidence in Liu Bei and do not want to spend so much money.
This time, Liu Bei made it clear that he would need food and grass, so these families could only spend some money. Otherwise, it would be bad if Liu Bei had to go there in person.
When the Chen family had not evacuated all the important members of the family, the Chen family would cooperate with Liu Bei's form. This was a decision discussed by Chen Deng and his son. Only in this way can the Chen family be safer!
...
"Lord, why don't I let Mo Jiang search? Some important figures from their Chen family will definitely not be in the mansion."
After leaving the Chen Mansion, Chen Dao complained to Liu Bei that he was ready, but who knew that Liu Bei's order had not been given yet.
"Uncle Zhi, the Chen family's father and son are both old foxes, so we should not act rashly. Let's beat them today to observe the effect." Liu Bei said.
These big families have always put their own interests first. The Wuling army wants to attack Xuzhou City. What the Chen family thinks of is to protect their own interests first. As for Liu Bei, the Chen family is no longer optimistic.
"Banging will probably make them hold grudges." Chen Dao muttered.
He really thought about Liu Bei.
"Uncle Zhi, everything in the Chen family must be paid close attention to. If they dare to escape, hum..."
"Lord is wise!" Chen Dao thought Liu Bei would let the Chen family go like this, but who knew there was a backup plan.
"Haha, after being in trouble, I know who is trustworthy!" Liu Bei sighed.
...
Xuzhou City was in a state of turmoil after Liu Bei beat the Chen family. On the surface, the military and civilians of Xuzhou City united to fight against the Wuling Army. In fact, most of the powerful and powerful people in the city arranged a way out.
Wuling Army Battalion.
The three military advisors are studying around a sand table.
The sand table in front of them was specially made by the Black Guard based on the actual size of Xuzhou City.
The three-dimensional city is presented in front of you, and the siege forces can be arranged more intuitively.
"Lord, the Black Guard is really clever." Fa Zheng praised.
"Xiaozhi, this was made according to the lord's requirements. It should be said that the lord's idea is wild and admirable." Guo Jia said.
"Okay, stop praising me. This is what Xuzhou City looks like. Let's take a look at where is the best breakthrough." Wu Shun said.
"Lord, the rumors have spread. According to detailed reports, there has been a rift between the Chen family and Liu Bei." Guo Jia said. This is indeed a happy good news.
