Not only Zhang Fei, but most of the people present had this thought. [Source of this book www.
Guan Yu also let go of his reserve, nodded without hesitation, and said: "When it's time to take action, we'll take action."
"Although Xuzhou is no longer as prosperous as it was when Tao Xuzhou was there, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Compared with Yuzhou, Yanzhou, etc., Xuzhou is still much stronger, with a population of six to seven million , can raise 50,000 elite soldiers, if Xuzhou is captured, the lord will be among the first-class princes in the world, and a man should be cut off as soon as possible." Jian Yong also expressed his attitude, with a progressive look on his face.
"It's exactly what Xianhe said. Xuzhou is the land of kings and hegemons. If you occupy it, you can do a lot." Sun Qian categorically agreed.[
Except for Chen Dao, the surrounding civil and military ministers unanimously supported Liu Bei in attacking Xuzhou, occupying Xuzhou, and then invading the world.
As for Chen Dao, apart from leading troops in battles, he did not have these strategic talents and was generally taciturn.
This is equivalent to saying that everyone is supporting Liu Bei. Liu Bei's heart is so hot that he can't wait to immediately raise troops to attack Xuzhou and restore his great reputation.
The word "recovery" made Liu Bei embarrassed and angry, but it also inspired him more.
When he was in Xudu, Liu Meng was framed one after another by Liu Feng. Not only did he lose Mi Zhu and others, he also lost a large part of his reputation.
Liu Bei will always remember that humiliation in his heart.
Not only did he want to compete with Cao Cao and make great achievements, but he also wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty and kill Liu Xie and his son. He wanted to avenge his previous shame. He thought of occupying Xuzhou, fighting the world again, and finally killing that idiot Liu Feng.
Liu Bei's heart became extremely hot.
However, although Liu Bei was excited, he was still a hero after all. He took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and looked at Chen Deng.
Except for Chen Dao, who knew nothing about strategy, Chen Deng was the only one present who remained silent. However, Liu Bei also relied heavily on Chen Deng.
Chen Deng was a great talent. When Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, Chen Deng, as the prefect of Guangling, took the lead in launching a war against Lu Bu.
You know, Lu Bu is the most brave and skillful general in the world. But Chen Deng launched a war brazenly, which shows his courage. Moreover, in the war with Lu Bu, Chen Deng also won many times.
He is also a first-class talent in strategy. After destroying Lu Bu, Cao Cao also appointed Chen Deng as General Fubo, which was extremely prominent.
Such talents are more than a level higher than Jian Yong and Sun Qian under Liu Bei's tent. Even if you don't care about this, Chen Deng is still the prefect of Guangling. Five thousand of the eight thousand elite soldiers are under Chen Deng's tent.
Liu Bei certainly cared about Chen Deng's opinion whether to send troops or not.
"What do Yuan Long think?" Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he turned to look at Chen Deng and asked.
"Most of Cao Cao's troops are indeed stationed in Guandu, but some of his strength is still in the Central Plains. It is easy to capture Xuzhou, but it is difficult to defend Xuzhou." Chen Deng pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said in a simple tone.
But one word was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing everyone's raging fire.
Indeed, Xuzhou is a vast plain, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend. Even if they kill the chariots and occupy Xuzhou, Xuzhou has the potential to develop 50,000 elite soldiers.[
But I'm afraid Cao Cao will send people to destroy them before they have full wings.
He only waited for the troops to arrive and cut off the connections between the cities. After conquering the cities one by one, Liu Bei faced only defeat.
Everyone looked at each other, but they were a little speechless.
