The speaker is none other than Chen Deng, a descendant of the Chen family in Xuzhou.
Chen Deng, courtesy name Yuanlong, was born in Huaipu, Xiapi. He was cheerful, calm and resourceful.
Liu Bei already knew in the game which of his men had the highest talent and learning.
If we really count, right now, Chen Deng is probably the number one person in front of us.
Liu Bei knew that Chen Deng would not talk nonsense, so he tentatively asked, "Chen Yuanlong, I don't know what this statement means. Can you explain it in detail?"
Chen Deng nodded and said slowly, "Cao Mengde's soldiers are all battle-hardened soldiers and are unstoppable. If our army wants to contend with them, even if it succeeds, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
Having said this, Chen Deng raised his hand to Liu Bei and said, "Liu Shijun, do you agree with what I'm saying?"
Liu Bei nodded, "Chen Yuanlong, you are right. Even if we win, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Chen Deng nodded, "If Xuzhou has been at peace since Cao Mengde left, then these losses will be worth it.
But everyone should not forget that in addition to the approaching Cao Mengde army, there are also Lu Fengxian from Yanzhou who pose a threat to Xuzhou. Even Huainan Yuan Highway may not sit idly by.
At that time, our army had already been defeated by Cao Mengde's army. If these two men came to attack Xuzhou, I would like to ask Liu Shijun what he would do to resist?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard these words.
Cao Bao turned pale and blurted out, "Doesn't this mean we can't fight Cao Mengde?"
Sun Qian was stunned for a moment, "But even if we don't want to fight Cao Mengde, but he has already arrived in Xuzhou, can we ignore him?"
Zhang Fei snorted coldly, "It seems that in the end, we have to speak with our fists to solve all problems."
Liu Bei did not listen to what others said, and looked at Chen Deng with burning eyes. He had vaguely guessed what he was thinking, and suddenly felt a little pain in his heart.
It’s so hard, do you still want to do it?
"Chen Yuanlong, do you have any good way to solve this problem?"
Chen Deng shook his head slightly and said slowly, "If we go to war with Cao Mengde, no matter we win or lose, the result will be very unfavorable to us.
So my advice is not to start a war."
Hearing this, Jian Yong exclaimed, "Chen Yuanlong, if we don't start a war, what will happen if Cao Mengde comes?"
Liu Bei took a deep breath and said slowly, "I understand, Chen Yuanlong, you mean to take Cao Mengde in, right?"
According to what the player said, the last time Lu Bu came, Chen Yuanlong advocated taking him in Xuzhou.
Liu Bei never expected that this time, when Cao Mengde came, Chen Yuanlong still advocated taking him in Xuzhou.
Chen Deng hurriedly handed over his hand, "Liu Shijun, this is my humble opinion. As for how to make a decision, I ask Liu Shijun to figure it out for himself."
Having said this, Chen Deng handed over his hand again, "Lü Bu, the jackal, now occupies Yanzhou, and sooner or later he will attack Xuzhou.
Since Cao Mengde has come to Xuzhou, it is better to have him stationed in Xiaopei and guard the north gate for Liu Shijun to prevent Lu Bu's children from coming to Xuzhou."
Hearing this, Jian Yong's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "In this way, there is no need to worry about Lu Bu coming to Xuzhou. As long as he dares to come, it will only consume his and Cao Mengde's strength, and it has nothing to do with us."
Chen Deng nodded, "Yes, instead of fighting him and losing both sides, it would be more advantageous to let him guard the north gate for us."
Liu Bei thought of the result of Lu Bu's guarding Xiaopei, and sighed secretly.
According to the player's introduction, Lu Bu was stationed in Xiaopei. It didn't take long before he attacked Xuzhou and drove himself to Xiaopei.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's heart suddenly moved, and his eyes suddenly turned to Cao Bao.
Because players have said that there is an important prerequisite for Lu Bu to occupy Xuzhou, and that is Cao Bao in front of him.
At that time, he was ordered to attack Huainan and left Zhang Fei to look after his subordinate Pi. As a result, Zhang Fei drank too much and beat Cao Bao severely.
Only then did Cao Bao lure Lu Bu and drive Zhang Fei out of Xiapi.
There are two key points. One is that Cao Bao's daughter married Lu Bu, so after Cao Bao was beaten, he immediately went to seek revenge from his son-in-law.
The second premise is Zhang Fei. If Zhang Fei didn't drink, he would naturally not beat up Cao Bao. Even if he did not keep Zhang Fei but Guan Yu, Cao Bao would naturally not go to Lu Bu.
Since there is no such thing, then, on the other hand, Cao Mengde should not have the chance to do this thing.
Since there is no chance, she can only guard the north gate for herself.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded secretly, raised his head to look at Chen Deng, and said with a smile, "Chen Yuanlong, the people of Xuzhou are not easy. They have been through war for a long time and are in great turmoil.
Now that we finally have time to rest and recuperate, how can we let them fall into chaos again because of ourselves?
So I decided that if Cao Mengde comes to Xuzhou, we will take him in and let him be stationed in Xiaopei. What do you think?"
When everyone heard these words, they nodded one after another and said, "I will obey Liu Shijun's instructions."
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Liu Bei raised his head and said loudly, "Send someone immediately to greet Cao Mengde."
……
After several battles in Fan County, Wen Chou finally left with his troops and Lu Bu won.
Wen Chou led his troops straight to Puyang, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to Jizhou explaining the situation in Yanzhou.
As for Yan Liang's collaboration with the enemy, Wen Chou went into great detail and explained that if he hadn't taken action in time, Yan Liang would have succeeded.
However, the morale of the army was in chaos and Lu Bu was caught off guard. He had no choice but to withdraw from Fan County and return to Puyang.
Lu Bu led his troops to Fan County. The first thing he did was to repair the city walls and increase defensive supplies to prepare for Yuan Shao to send troops again.
On this day, when Lu Bu was discussing the next move with Chen Gong, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Soon, a soldier came to the room and reported hurriedly.
"Informing Marquis Wen that Cao Mengde led an army to Xuzhou, Liu Xuande ignored his past grudges and took the initiative to take him in Xiaopei."
Lu Bu and Chen Gong were immediately surprised when they heard the news.
Chen Gong was surprised because Cao Mengde had a chance to relax.
Lu Bu was surprised, far more than he was shocked.
He has heard Lonely Xianyu tell him many times that Yanzhou was defeated, and then he rushed to Xuzhou and defected to Liu Xuande.
As a result, Liu Xuande took him in and placed him in Xiaopei.
Now, Cao Mengde was defeated in Yanzhou and fled to Xuzhou. As a result, Liu Xuande took Cao Mengde in and stationed him in Xiaopei.
Isn’t this exactly the same as my own fate?
What happens next?
Could it be that Cao Mengde will have the same fate as himself, seizing Liu Xuande's Xuzhou, and finally walking up to Baimen Tower?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Bu suddenly started to look forward to it, because he knew that if he became stronger, then he might very well be the one who was trapped in Xiapi.
And who should be the person who died in Baimen Tower?
Cao Mengde or Liu Xuande?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu clenched his fists hard. In order to prevent himself from walking up to the Baimen Tower, he must become stronger.
